We demystify what goes on behind the therapy room door. Join us on this voyage of discovery and co-creative conversations. This is The Therapy Show, behind closed doors podcast, with Bob Cook and Jackie Jones. Welcome back to The Therapy Show behind closed doors and we're up to, I'm looking on my list here but we're up to episode 148. Now. This one is 148. You sound shocked. Yes, I mean I was I was listening to the first ever therapy behind closed doors when we were introducing ourselves. We were babies, Bob. I was 70 and I'm 73 now and we were talking about what we wanted to do, well what we wanted from the podcast and I enjoyed listening to that because you're talking about your history and also talking about your vision for the podcast which I think we've achieved. I was just about to ask you, have we achieved it? I need to go back and listen to what we said. Yeah it was talking about demystifying what we were talking about, our objectives of demystifying what was you know what happened in the therapy room and I was talking about the importance of that and you were talking about that as a major goal and we're talking about the co-created nature of these podcasts which you know stand us out really. Yeah, I think so. We're spreading far and wide, Bob, I think. Oh yeah, you were saying that they've listened to us. Who has said that? When I do ice water therapy so I go out and swim in you know Ponzi and everywhere. Be careful, be careful. Yeah and I'm always careful, I don't do it on me own but yeah I was talking to somebody and just happened to mention the pod you know that I do podcasts and they listen to it so there you go. I know you said that you visited I think Spotify which said that we had we've had 61,000 hits so far. Yeah more than that now, yeah. That's quite good, that's very good. It is absolutely and it's all down to the listeners. Obviously the content and the titles that you come up with help of. So talking about the titles, what we're going to be looking at this time is the pressure cooker effect in therapy. Another good one. Yes, yes. What I meant by it is that when I was a kid going out my mother had this huge silver massive pressure cooker. I don't know if you still buy them that way. Yeah with the lid that clicks short. Yeah and of course what happens with pressure cookers is that the pressure builds up, pulls up and builds up and then all of a sudden it sort of goes if that's the right sound anyway and there's a cathartic release or perhaps on the pressure cooker button when I think of it in terms of psychotherapy and I think psychotherapy is a bit like that. Yeah when people first come to therapy they don't really know what to expect unless they've had some therapy before and they still then don't know what to expect because they're usually at a different developmental phase but they don't know what to expect and so their defences are usually quite stoic if you like. They're usually testing the therapist out. They're usually kind wary of sharing their vulnerabilities. Absolutely yeah and it's a different type of therapy right at the beginning. It's much more about listening to their story, being a witness to their story, helping them believe in us and getting their trust so they can actually start letting those defences down which were so necessary years ago but perhaps doesn't help in terms of where they want to go now. Yeah and I think that sort of process as they start to get to trust us and believe in the process of psychotherapy and the therapist in front of them is a bit like the beginning of a pressure you know pressure cooker effect. Yeah and when I read this title because once I usually you know before we do it have a quick think about what comes up for me with the titles that you've got because I don't think we're always on the same wavelength sometimes but for me I was thinking about you know potential confrontation in the therapy process when we're challenging our clients maybe because in the early days when I first trained I hand on heart can honestly say I didn't challenge my clients at all I was frightened to challenge my clients whereas now I will I want to say pick them up on certain things when I think they're people pleasing me or they're saying what they think they should say I will challenge them and say is that actually true you know when they say that they're okay but the body language is telling me something completely different. And what do you think that confrontation does always it aimed at? Well I'm very careful on when I do it I wouldn't be confrontational at the early stages of therapy I've already built up you know a therapeutic alliance let's say with my clients or whatever but it's more about them being okay with their authentic feelings rather than the things that they think they should be doing or they should be saying in a way of reflecting on things maybe. So are you also saying that's you know with the sort of confrontation which is a psychoanarchical term I'm talking about positive confrontation here. Absolutely yeah sort of adds to sort of pressure cooker effect. I think so that my understanding is yeah that sometimes you know emotions can build in the therapy session and it's how one we acknowledge that and how we can release that through the therapy if there is something.  Yeah I'd like to think so I'm thinking you know this week in particular I was seeing a couple who were saying very nice things but the body language was saying that they were really frustrated with each other so I kind of challenged that what they were saying and said do you know what I mean that I'm seeing some annoyance or aggravation in the body language is that what's going on and it opened up a whole different area for us to discuss. Oh that's good that's a very good way of looking at these things and I often use I usually use the term a lot of therapeutic practice and I've talked to clients specifically in groups actually use this analogy more and I say okay so we can see what's going on here and perhaps at a later time we might get back to it and perhaps looked at how that's makes me up how you find difficulty expressing emotions for example yeah and as I think timing is key in psychotherapy I might say something okay we'll come back at a later day and just allow your pressure cooker to just mull over yeah yeah because it's a really good metaphor absolutely yeah it's a smile about the same time because it's like just by saying that then you know it's ranking up the pressure in terms of how how stoic are the defense systems yeah it's another another way of measuring um their defense systems and I'm only talking about you know in this case you know we're talking about 2024 defense systems I'm not talking about so much when those defense systems were first originated because they were originated for survival reasons and we're now in I don't know how many years later where the defense defense systems perhaps are maybe stronger or even less stronger and they need to break the habit yes the repetitive process so they can integrate a new process or a new idea yeah and they've almost forgotten now to allow themselves to be vulnerable and let those defense systems down because they were built for survival purposes yeah so there's no way the a therapist goes through the front door you know it's like they need to allow themselves to get to know the clients and xxx and then the clients in their own time will start to allow themselves to be vulnerable or allow the pressure cooker to be released if you know yeah yeah and it doesn't need to all be done in one go you know on the pressure oh there is a little knob where we can just release a little bit of pressure over over time yeah oh yeah my favorite sort of phrase is going to come out now Jackie which you've heard thousands of millions of times oh yes I do see it's a process a never an event it's not just like we you know this is about really seeing therapy as a process yeah and you know you're using the analogy of the pressure cooker is kind of you know we can look at how our clients regulate their emotions or the intensity or you know strong feelings in the therapy room as well yeah I mean I think I think it's a really good point there in terms of emotional regulation yeah and if they've never been modelled or they haven't got appropriate emotional regulation then their pressure cooker will just burst off or steam out really quickly yeah absolutely in inappropriate ways I think it's a very common theme in scientific therapy where a person may come because they don't find it or they aren't able for whatever reasons to appropriately regulate their emotions yeah it needs to therapy it's not only to model how to do that for the crowd but also to look at what happened in a process where they weren't learned or weren't able to regulate their emotions in an appropriate healthy way yeah and it's an ideal opportunity to model that you know to me now we can do that yeah and of course they're in charge of their own pressure cooker yes it isn't the therapist is in charge of it no the therapist does in a way is stoke that and and what you often a technical word anyway for this is called paradoxical interventions you know what in other words a ta terms another word would be to tweak the impasse yeah so an impasse is where there's two opposing psychological forces I don't want to do it uh and then the voice says what do you better do it I'm not going to do it yeah I'm not I am so you've got two opposing voice forces so somehow if you can help the client go through this impasse or two stuck places then their pressure cooker can often ease off yeah see when when you're talking about an impasse and things like that I automatically think about the internal critic do you know what I mean when we want to do something and there's that voice inside us that says no you you can't do that but you really want to do it so there's like you said there's this internal dialogue that's going on all the time yeah yeah so for a lot of people they may have positive yeah voices were in a healthy system what you're talking about and the clients we see often who have low self-esteem or might have a tendency over over depression or have a tendency for overthinking or be agitated anxiety and all these things where their self-agency is limited what they often report is what you're saying here is intensity of a critical narrative in other words as part of themselves where they're saying oh gosh I could have done it that way I should have done it that way how stupid I am I XXX and it gets more intense and gets more intense and they tell themselves off more and more so they feel more anxious and they start overthinking and their self-esteem goes down they think they've got no value they feel worthless they go to a dark place they've got depression and then this negative critical voice gets even more intense and more intense and the pressure cooker builds up but builds up and they have no way to regulate stop yeah quick the intense and often they go to a place of shut it off completely they might go to a place of self-harm they might go to a place where they do extremely unhealthy things and attempt to stop that pressure cooker building up with these intense negative voices that you're talking about yeah and in therapy one of the methods if you like or a way of thinking about this is to help the client ease off that pressure cooker in a healthy way so they can start regulating desensitising you know the intensity of those voices and prick the boil which is growing and growing and they feel powerless and lose self-agency yeah that's quite a long narrative but that's well how I see it yeah yeah absolutely and I think that's that's the important thing is that they start to learn that they can control the response and their reaction yeah that in a dialogue might still be there but we don't need to listen to it you know to me there are ways that we can understand what's going on yeah and usually you know Jack at the beginning of this pressure cooker I'd have is the beginning it is that they lose sight or become a you know they're unaware that that voice is someone else's they feel it's themselves yeah and one of the big steps in psychotherapy as you and I know is to help the client be aware that it's not their voices those voices come from somewhere else and that is such a crucial time in psychotherapy where they can take ownership yeah of the the voices yeah absolutely because I think what you know when I can remember lots of instances when I started talking with clients about the you know the internal dialogue and the voices that we hear and everything and I always do a caveat on it that we all have that in a dialogue it doesn't mean that we're schizophrenic it doesn't mean that we've got a split personality it's understanding exactly what you've just said whose voice is that and where does it come from yeah I I remember once where I was doing therapy we were doing therapy and um we were talking about I think it was I think it was these voices she was hearing or the all the negative things that she used to say about herself and she went off to the toilet she's kind of just went off the toilet anyway she'd been off quite a while I don't know four or five minutes but I got a real concern that she you know she hadn't come back in the time I thought was supposed to I went back anyway went out the door and she was in the corridor banging her head against the wall wow and when I you know got her to stop that and grounded her she said I'm attempting to get rid of these voices which I'm hearing all the time so the pressure cooker had been building up and building up and the parental voices becoming stronger and stronger and we need a therapist to help her deal with the you know desensitization of that pressure cooker and get to help them realize but it's not their narrative yeah yeah and I think that's that's really valid and important because then it's about them you know being able to self-regulate that and understand the process and you know be able to take the the pressure off the pressure cooker themselves outside of therapy yeah that's that's that's that's the outcome that's the goal yeah I used to run five day what I called psychotherapy intensives back in the day so people would come to my institute would start at nine o'clock till six o'clock five days a week they'd go home I mean they'd go up and come back yeah and I used to use that phrase a lot because you know I could see the pressure building up with somebody and I knew that if I tackled the defense systems or the voices or building up or whatever was going on on the first day that it wouldn't be so as effective as perhaps four days later yeah so another phrase I used to say was okay well I hear what we've got we're contracting here let's allow things to percolate and we'll see where we get to the four days time and we'll come back to that yeah timing I can see how that would work as well because you know that's a really good word for it because when we're learning about these things things do percolate we do need to mull over them and explore things and it's a new a new way of being so it's not going to happen overnight it's kind of I often talk about osmosis do you know what I mean it kind of seeps in slowly sometimes that's right no one level that I said earlier in the podcast just say something else please and one over there in control of their own pressure cooker yeah at another level they're in therapy because they feel they're not in control of the process yeah do you think people are always in control they just don't know it it's a really good question of course the way I was thinking about in was in terms of psych psychological time and real time right in other words we take back if we think developmentally and we go back to when you know when they were younger the power dynamics often in the family system or where they were were so against them in other words the significant other people or the parents or the toxicity it was very much one up one down yeah so they felt they had no power you know so it's like Hobson's choice which is it it's like if you're in a dangerous situation where the power dynamics are so highly against you you'll do whatever you can to do survive so at that level maybe you have a choice so you may switch off you may associate you might go crazy you might do lots of things so in that sense they've got a choice but that people in that level of trauma don't believe they have a choice absolutely yeah yeah so yes and no it's my answer to that and they come to therapy sort of 20 years later 25 years later and start talking about how they are today in the PTSD PTSD automatic stress disorder or or whatever the symptoms are they come with even though I know the work is back in their history doesn't matter where we start really what it does we have to start with their story in the present the they can only get to a place of being aware that they actually do have choice now now in the present day yeah by realising what they didn't have all those years ago yeah yeah I can remember when I was going through my training and one of the reasons why I love transactional analysis and being a psychotherapist because at the time I was fostering and there was a lot of doom and gloom about fostering you know what I mean that the damage is done and they'll never get over it and it was all you know write them off they're never going to go to university they're not going to amount to all this sort of stuff and what transactional analysis and psychotherapy taught me was that we can go back and fill in the gaps we can repair we can learn about all of this stuff you know and it doesn't necessarily have to impact us for the rest of our life whatever trauma we've been through yeah and that made me very hopeful what a wonderful way to put this there's a wonderful book written by the originators of redecision psychotherapy from the transaction analysis movement and they were Mary and Bob Goulding and they wrote a book there were several books but they wrote a really fantastic book in 1973 called the powers in the patient now in American language the patient is the client right yeah firstly often I think many therapists forget that they may often think the powers in them and it's not it's actually in the client in the patient will do that way and I think it's really important therapists remember that but and also on the same level if we do this developmental work then they often don't feel they have any power so it's important for therapists to remember that that's true and a lot of the time that is the therapy in other words they don't feel that the power yeah the therapy is going to do a place where they can take back the power that perhaps they gave away lost or put in a very precious compartmental place in their psychological spirit so they can be different today yeah I would recommend that book every time and through many of my clinical journeys I remember that phrase because sometimes and I like to think didn't happen that often I could get carried away with my own ego yeah but we don't have power we make an impact to help people find their own power yeah alongside them and then witness on their journey and we help them take ownership of their own agency and self-power however in the end it's the client that needs to take the power for the new decisions to reintegrate and to be able to discover their own self-agency and we help them on the way absolutely yeah I see it as we kind of shine a light on certain things that then they can explore and like you say integrate into their life or yeah now of course I don't want to I don't want any of the therapist counsellors was listening to this podcast to think counsellors don't do anything they are pivotal in helping the client discover the power that perhaps they have put away or even forgot they had yeah I see you know a big part of my job rightly or wrongly is to provide a safe space for people to explore this stuff to put it bluntly you know what I mean oh like to be in control of the pressure cooker yeah absolutely yeah and to feel safe knowing that they I think for some clients it can be really scary and they teach it on the edge of making a new decision or doing something different and I think part of my job is to support them in stepping over into that knowing that I've kind of got the back yeah it's a very good phase that you've got their back yeah it's okay because it's a massive it's a big thing making changes in therapy you know when when I think of me you know 40 years or 40 plus years before I started doing my my training that there's a lot of stuff in there for me to be changing yeah and you've helped a lot of people and there's another very good book written by the same person or people Bob and Mary Goulding after the power and the patient I think that's I've got it the long way around 1974 called redecision psychotherapy and they talk I think it is the one after the patient but they're talking there about how they help people take ownership of their own power to make new redecisions and they couldn't do it and they wouldn't be able to do it if they didn't feel they were in a safe secure place to explore this to be able to with the therapist's help find the power that often disavowed yeah I think also the therapist needs more powerful than the toxic people in their head yeah I always remember that for my training is it protection permission and potency or permission protect where you I don't know what order they come in but yeah that's always stuck in yeah because you'll repeat history with the client if you're not yeah just one of those thousands of other people who haven't been able to stand up to the negative critical parents in their own heads yeah what an interesting topic Bob oh yeah I think we're talking about the real mechanics of effective psychotherapy here yeah and it all comes from that title about a pressure cooker which I think is a brilliant metaphor for a lot of things that go on in everyday life yeah and you know from helping them understand they have a pressure cooker in the first place and then helping them regulate the pressure cooker system and then help take ownership you know in a much more bigger way they can then go they're on the road to what I would call um positive self-agency yeah because I was thinking you touched on group therapy before and I for some reason have no idea why but I'm seeing an awful lot of couples at the moment but the therapy room can be seen as a pressure cooker when you're dealing with more than one person when there's couples you know they're both bringing the the issues that they've got and it can be quite a heated discussion that goes on sometimes well those two people often with interlocking scripts or posing scripts who trigger off their own internal pressure cookers or the others and you imagine that multiplied by eight people yeah many many pressure cookers get triggered off group therapy is an extraordinarily powerful mechanism for effective psychotherapy to change as is couples therapy um so I'm glad you've got more couples because um there I think there's not enough people who specialize in couples work and group work for whatever reasons in 19 you know the early 19 I want to say 19 early 90s group psychotherapy in the UK was much more popular than it is now I've been toying with the idea Bob I shouldn't put this out there but I have been toying with the idea purely and simply because I think a lot of people struddle and can't afford individual therapy and it's a way of them accessing lower cost when they're in a group so I have been toying with the idea if you do have a discussion about it please do and if you do do it make sure they've spent a bit of time in individual therapy with you first otherwise you'll lose them yes but I do think it's an effective um type of therapy group therapy and all these pressure pressure cookers can often get triggered off and that's when the therapist can help the client not only be aware of the pressure cookers that have been triggered off but also what triggers the pressure cookers and hopefully eventually not only do they regulate the pressure cookers but they can actually take charge of that process and develop a new healthy integrated process yeah because just to finish up on this topic as you were talking then I was thinking you know that you've got a room of eight people and they've all got the pressure cookers everybody's life up to this point is unique and individual to them yeah but do you think that from our point of view there's lots of similarities in what people go through in their upbringing does that make sense oh yeah definitely you know we know this as I was just thinking of articles people will know like the eight stages of men the Eric Averickson's developmental articles where they talk about people going through different or similar stages you know and you know yourself in that wonderful book that you quote by you know the I'm living yeah Pam Levin the cycles of power yes yeah so so definitely we do Freud used to talk about different developmental stages yeah that's a taken as red I think we have similarities that we go through different psychological stages that if they have been missed out or there's been a fixation or there's been trauma then that obviously may result in challenging consequences later yeah I think by definition and then I think about and I need another podcast for this but you know when we're born when the day we're born you know I think there's an element of trauma yeah yeah but yeah yeah so certainly trauma from the point of giving birth this wonderful womb which is very secure and hopefully being wrenched out or coming out to this very different world can be seen as traumatic absolutely yeah you know from the very beginning of psychological life I think there can be challenges of trauma and if they aren't dealt with in a healthy way then consequences could be psychologically may be difficult later on so yes I think there are similar thematic developmental problems traumas that people may occur yeah and how we deal with them often well there are unique our own unique experiences aren't they absolutely I think that's where the uniqueness comes in is the decisions that we make around those things and how we're going to be in the world yeah I mean Richard Erskine another mentor of mine and the chair or past chair anyway who certainly was the founder of the international integrative psychotherapy association he wrote a whole series of articles around what he called relational needs or unmet relational needs and permissions that need to be given almost universally by the therapists to enable the clients if you like to deal with these unmet needs and the developmental deficits that occurred but in that how the client experiences and defends against the developmental deficits are unique yes yeah I've really enjoyed that Bob thanks very much does that make sense that last bit absolutely yeah that's really important for therapists because if therapists just think well I've read this article I've done all this lot I can do this a bit like chess like I was talking about in the last podcast then x will happen well that's one way of looking at and I've talked about in the last podcast another way and a much more important I think we need to see the clients have their own unique experiences attuned to those unique experiences and go with that in terms of patency potency permissions and everything else because in another process altogether it's not like chess yeah I'm a great fan of relational psychotherapy so another way to call me at my work in a way it's relationally developmental in nature for effective psychotherapy yeah that's a mouthful isn't it it certainly is but it's a good title to have Bob I like that one and I know you're very relational in your developmental work I am I do I do like you know to me looking at things relationally and one of the things that one of the relational needs that always sticks with me is the need for the other to initiate yes that's so interesting and I don't know whether that's because I need that that that's the one that I kind of hone in on a lot of the time but I think it is really important even in the therapy room for me to initiate contact with the clients and another relational need that you hone in a lot in so I just want to say that I'm sitting on these podcasts is the relational need for safety and security yes yeah and you're right they represent our history no it's all interesting stuff this isn't it Bob yes and unfortunately I know we've got to stop that's a hint of pops going over time but such a wonderful podcast this I think yeah from a wonderful title we've covered all sorts of stuff we've been all the way there and back again so what we're going to be looking at next time which again is another wonderful title is five things I wish I'd known before I became a psychotherapist when I came to this title Jackie I thought my first title was 10 things I'm sure we'll come up with 20 things but I thought we have 10 we'll be here it'll go away over time in in the podcast so I've cut it back to five and now I'm thinking to talk to you perhaps I wish I kept it to 10 but I'm looking forward to that me too we'll see how many we come up with I'll keep counting until next time Bob thank you very much bye bye you've been listening to the therapy show behind closed doors podcast we hope you enjoyed the show don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review we'll be back next week with another episode


Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, the girls are terrific. It's not like that, but it's like the international teams are on the teams. And often, each of us is a server under the 40.


That was it, right there. Oh, I don't care about your barrier goal! Let's go!  Let's go! That was so sick! How's it going, everybody? Dahtonoi here back with some more Dragon Ball FighterZ rank matches. And today we're playing a team of Android 17, Super Saiyan Goku, and Yamcha. And if you have any other teams you'd like to see me play, let me know down below in the... Oh my goodness, this guy's playing Krillin and TN. I was about to say Yamcha, as well as Ultra Instinct Goku. Oh my God, why is Goku specifically calling out 17? But yeah, let me know your team suggestions down below. I just felt like I didn't know what to play, so... Woo! We got the best Android 17 line, which is why I wanted to play 17 up on point. He's just a lot of fun to play. Now, whether or not we win the games is gonna kind of... Oh, just... Oh, the rock assist is still good. I wasn't blocking low. I'll admit, I was looking for a reflector and overhead, something along those lines. Oh no, I can't believe that button caught me back. I think I'm dead. I think 17 is not long for this world. Wait, a vanish? How does that work into the grand plan here? I don't think it does. I think 17 lives. He didn't use his assist. I keep trying. Okay, I gotta set my eyes on the prize. I keep trying to jump away from my problem. Bring 17 back in. I'm gonna come out swinging. Come here. Okay, this guy's patient. This guy's patient. He's not gonna rush it to a mistake.  I thought I had the big brain play of trying to make him make a move first, and then I realized it was not a big brain play. Okay. I made a mistake there as well. All right, all right, I'll take not being in the corner. Ooh, I'll take that even better. I'll take all of this. Basically, I'll take anything where I'm not getting hit, because it's been a long road. Oh, I can't believe I messed that up. The pressure we had the quarter set. Now he's just letting Krillin go to work, and Krillin is going to be hard to get. Actually, we just vanished out of that. We have the anti-reflect. Okay, okay. Goku is dead unless we get a drop, which it doesn't look like we are. It's gonna have to be a solo Yamcha. He's basically just switching to get UI Goku in. I don't disagree with that. Get the Krillin rock assist in the back. Ah, the problem is what do we do? I wanted to make a read. I wanted to make a read. Yikes, first round was bad for us, but it's still not over. Oh, that was sick. I thought he just dropped it.  All right, are we getting a level three from TN here? No, okay. All right, we got a little sneaky cross under there. Ah, does level one to three even kill here? I guess I gotta try, right? I didn't try it. Oh, my God. Oh, he's too short. Krillin's too short. I couldn't get it with the cheap stuff. Wait, drop it. Wait, he's getting fancy. Drop it. Wait, drop it. No. Oh, we're dead. Oh, he was too short. I couldn't hit it with the cheap stuff. Oh, that was so good. Wait, heal me, Sparking. I know you can't, but try. Yeah, Sparking's not going to heal that. Oh, my God, I couldn't hit it with the cheap stuff. And I dropped the level one to three. Oh, okay. Bad first game, but we're warming up. You know, we're warming up. You got to, sometimes you got to take some lumps in order to get to the path you need to be able to be on. Step one, we got to get rid of this UI Goku. We're going to make the reverse set come back. Oh, any time there's a waiting period, I'm like, oh, am I getting a rematch? All right, we got to make the reverse step. Dang, I'm okay. This time he's putting the pressure on immediately. Just reflect. Reflect. Hemisist. Keep him grounded. Yamchisist. That's just going to let us go to town. Back step. Front step. Oh, my God, he started mashing immediately. I don't want to show all my cards. Oh, he jumped up and hit it. Hell, that was smart. He brought the party to me. I was not ready. I was still setting up the party favors. I was getting the plates and cups. Oh, damn. He brought the ice. He showed up to the party two hours early. Dude, I was still swinging. All right. Do I spark here immediately to not get run over?  Oh, I'm just going for it. Okay, we're just going for it at this point. The problem with me is I keep letting him tag out. I really got to, I got to put a stop to that pretty quickly. Can we just vanish out of this? I don't think we vanish here. It just seemed a little, oh, nice block. Back guard cancel. Oh, he's going styling. Oh, he didn't go for the styro. I thought we were, I thought we were going all style points. Tien assist. Oh, my goodness. Okay. It was still pretty crispy. I'm not going to lie. Still pretty stylish. Hey, I got to come back ahead of me though. All right. We just rushed it. Oh, my, oh, my mistakes. You can't make this many mistakes and expect to win. Do we still have sparking? I haven't wasted it yet. Right? Okay. I'm thinking about putting it all into Goku's hands. That's what I'm going to do. Honestly. Oh, but I got to tag out to make that worth. I just thought I'd do it with a swing. Tien, please. Tien, you're not helping the situation. Level one. Who's he switching out to? He just wants to level two. What's he going to try to do? Do I just down tech, man? Oh, my God. I've made every wrong decision. I didn't even down tech match. That would have been the right decision. All right. I'm sparking now then. All right. I'll take this. This is not great for me. Obviously. Okay. Let's just get him out of here. We got to start the comeback slowly. I guess I was hoping it would be a Goku show. I'm not going to lie. I was really hoping my Goku would just come in with full health, limit break and do what he had to do. But that's good. Oh, my God. I can't believe he did that. Okay. The dashing. I have to stop the dashing. Am I dead? Well, Tien is here. So, yes. But he's got to spend two. He didn't spend. He didn't want to spend two. He thinks he could get me with the dragon rush. And he's right. It was a bet worth taking. Goku, please. Goku, please. Goku, come back. I haven't been in control all game. I need a bit of. The dragon balls.  But the dragon balls though. It's my only hope. It's my only hope. It's my only hope. It's my only hope. Please don't let that be the death of me post. Oh, and he has an assist. Post vanish Krillin into Tien level one. Not going to be enough. I froze. I couldn't move. Oh, the dragon ball dream was so close. I hit two out of the three auto covers. Oh, no, dude. I froze. I couldn't move well. I just, dude, I risked it too much. Hopefully we can get a rematch. That was a great set. I need a rematch though. Oh, no, I froze up. I couldn't move. Once it came down to the last dragon ball, it was just painfully. Once it became painfully obvious. It was just the pressure was on. All right, we didn't get the rematch, but it is another angel ranked player. So hopefully we can at least I'm moving poorly again. Oh, no, I'm repeating the past. I at least want to get dragon rush. I at least wanted to improve. All right, got to shake off the rest. Hold on. Let me shake off the rest. We'll be fine. Yeah, we're already one losing set into the video. But don't worry. The rust will be shaken off. Purple kid boo has a weird energy about him, dude. This is my short arms. Does anybody else agree that purple kid boo is just kind of, I'm going to go for six M. Yes, I was feeling that one. I was feeling the six M reverse step forward step. Why did I, why shouldn't I shouldn't have done that? Oh, dragon rush. That's, that's Andrew at 17 now. It's going to switch out though. I was going to say if he didn't switch out from kid boo, it wouldn't have been so bad. But with super baby two and now it's getting a little worse. Uh, man, we just, we just need to play better. I'm going in. You knew I wanted to do it. Damn it. Move better me. I just, I'm not thinking. I can't think. Oh, that was a nice level three. I was going to go for the double protagonist to have. And now I'm getting crushed. It's fine. It's fine. He did a reversal level three super. Would he expect one from me waking up? He wouldn't have. He wouldn't have. Oh, I just didn't, I didn't do it because I thought he would. I thought he wouldn't know. We definitely have to spark. You're right. The blue health is crazy. I'm switching out, but I don't, I don't recommend this. Oh, wait, wait. I recommend this. I'm recommending it. This is actually bad. Dude, I'm bad at the gun. I'll get both of them. Give me both of them. I'll hit 17. I got no problems hitting my own teammate. It wasn't a drop. It was a strategical. I wanted to hit 17 for what he did to me. We've dropped too many combos together. I'm popping off now. It's time. Confidence in the room has changed. I will take the next dragon rush. That's how you know. That's how you know. I will take the next dragon rush. I promise. Let's go. Confidence is here. Oh my goodness. Let's go. Uh, I'm okay with doing it. Wait, no. All right. It's fine. I'll just, oh, is that going to miss? Oh my God. 19 frames. Wait, that actually, oh, it's Yamcha. I forgot Yamcha and Goku. We don't need to worry about changing sides. Let's go. Okay. He wanted a spark for that. I can agree. Oh, but I'm going to stall it out. I'm going to stall it out. Just stall him out. Wait for him to do a little Keyblast action. He'll do Keyblast. This is a Genemba player. Genemba players love their Keyblast. I'll take that. I should have clicked a button one second earlier. I was really happy with that. I was happy with that formation. I was feeling it. Like I said, it's all confidence. It's all confidants. Oh, in the air? Is this it? Or am I falling too fast? Oh, I'm falling like a brick. Let's go. I am so happy that I felt like a brick right there. I was going to say I've never been hit by that if that's how the Genemba's level three work. I feel like we should almost leave Yamcha in the back. But if we also hit EX Wolfang fist and tag, that would be crazy powerful. It might not happen. All right, we kind of use these. 2H. Can you 2H that? Okay. Oh, but that's the 2H right there, baby. That's the 2H right there. Wrap it up. We actually got a game. Some of you may be surprised, but I thought it was over for a second there. I thought this video was going to be the 4-0 sweep, but it looks like we could take a set here, boys. I told you they love their Keyblast. You knew they were going to do it eventually. Genemba players love their assistant Keyblast. All right, I'll just take this. That was so good. I was relying on that one to just be a cheeky reset, honestly, but it worked out. I'll take a level one. Plant this guy, 17. Look at him. Disappointing. Just gaze into his eyes a little bit. Oh, I'm feeling good now. Oh, why would he start with that move? He's sick, though. I thought he was going to start with some Keyblast, maybe a light peppering if I got grabbed. I'm getting red. I want to make a little dent in his health before Android 17 dies. I don't want the lead to have been for nothing. Loops. Oh, and you just loved the corner. Come here. Let me show you your new corner. All expenses paid trip to the corner zone. I don't know why I did a level three. I should have switched out, but I'm not thinking right now. Watch this. Oh, I knew he wanted to spark, too. I just did the wrong move. Can I get him off me? Oh, nice beam into the assist. Guard cancel. I'm okay with that. All right, Sparky's gone. We're doing really good. We can finish this solid. He's going to... What? Oh, my goodness. Hit the combo. Hit the combo. No. I can't even speak my sentences. How am I going to do a fighting game? Speak. All right, we actually hit him. Oh, wow. Life is getting harder all the time. Wait, 17 assist was kind of clutch. Ah, the key blast. Come here. Let me talk to him and knock. Oh, wow. I was going to knock him up and then finish him, but that works, too. All right. I feel like we got this game about wrapped up. It was looking mighty bad there. Wait. No, we don't have level three. Damn. I would have level three here. I forgot. I forgot. If I had three bars, do I get three bars? I'm using it. I'm doing it. You didn't respect me. I missed my level three. I think you would have blocked it anyway, but... All right. Maybe we read a beam with the barrier. Oh, come on. This would be so sick. That was it right there. Oh, I don't care about your barrier. Go. Let's go.  That was so sick. I don't care about your moves from full screen. Tackle this man, 17, and that is going to bring this video to a close. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

Many have asked, well, how can the Holy Spirit, who is holy, dwell with sinful man? How can He dwell with a believer, say, who's struggling with sin? Well, that's the power of the atonement. That's the power of justification. That's what it means to be redeemed. When God looks at the Son on the cross, He sees your every mistake. But when He looks at you, He sees Christ's perfection. That's what it means to stand in Christ, to receive the grace of God. Because we put our faith in the Lord Jesus, now the Holy Spirit can abide with us, even though sometimes we make mistakes. That's not an encouragement to go on sinning, but it is an encouragement so that you know that He's going to remain to help you get it right.


Let's move forward to the next part of Malay speech, which is digging into why the West is in jeopardy. Now, if free market capitalism and economic freedom have been remarkable instruments to eradicate poverty globally, and we are presently experiencing the most favorable period in human history, it is worth inquiring why I assert that the West is in jeopardy. The main problem of the West today is that we not only have to confront those who even after the fall of the wall and overwhelming evidence continue to advocate for impoverishing socialism, but also our own leaders, thinkers, and academics who sheltered in a misguided framework, undermine the foundations of the system that has given us the greatest wealth and prosperity in our history. The theoretical framework I am referring to is neoclassical economic. The issue with neoclassicals is that since the model they fell in love with doesn't match reality, they attribute the error to the supposed market failure instead of revising the premises of their model. Market is not just a graphical description of a supply curve and a demand curve on a graph. The market is a mechanism of social cooperation where property rights are voluntarily exchanged. Thus, considering this definition, discussing market failure is a contradiction in terms. There is no market failure. If transactions are voluntary, the only situation in which there can be a market failure is if there is coercion present. And the only one with the ability to coerce in a generalized manner is the state that possesses the monopoly of violence. Each time you want to correct a presumed market failure, inevitably due to not knowing the market or because you have become attached to a failed model, you are opening doors to socialism and condemning people to poverty. So this is where he is going right to the heart of what the WF is all about. The WF is not a leftist organization. It is, I don't know, neoliberal, or he calls it neoclassical, where they embrace markets on the whole, but they see lots of market failures and say that there is a need for a strong, robust government intervention to deal with those market failures, things like pollution, climate change. The government needs to intervene and Malaya is saying, no, you are wrong, Davos crowd. And we are going to do things a different way in Argentina. Is that more or less, are we on the same page with our interpretations here? I think so, yeah. I think who was definitely criticized because of this part, because of the part where he says that there can be no market failure by neoclassical economists in Argentina, just because they, well, of course, they claim that they are. And I think the phrasing could have been differently in that people individually can definitely fail in the market. It's just that, you know, there's nothing that can be systemic that cannot be solved by the market itself. But, you know, other than that, I think your interpretation is right. And I think what Millay is saying is, again, is very similar to what we have been hearing in Argentina. It's just at this time, because it was in Davos, it caught people's eye all over the world. And I'm very glad that it did, because otherwise it would have been just us listening to his preaching, if you will. But now it's also you. Do you consider him to be a sort of high priest of Argentine libertarianism? Like, what do you think of the sort of proselytizing? Do you like it? Do you find it creepy? Do you fear that he'll develop this cult of personality in the same way that many other leaders throughout Argentine history have? I'm a bit afraid of that cult of personality, because I think many people follow him, you know, and not the libertarian ideas that he preaches again. And I think that can be bad in case things go wrong, for example, if he doesn't deliver, because then people who follow him will not be able to criticize him whenever he fails, you know, whenever he does something that's wrong. Many people today, for example, I see that they don't want to criticize the government because of anything, even if they make mistakes, you know, just because they want to support me all the way. I don't think that's very healthy, because that can lead him to believe that he can, you know, do whatever.   In that regard, I think he was more like a priest when he was campaigning. Again, he's not talking much right now. I think that's very strategic. I think he has definitely adapted to being president, which is a good thing, because there was this, you know, concern that Zach was talking about earlier, that he would be, you know, like Trump, but he would just keep talking as president all the time and doing nothing. But Millay is not one of those.  But again, his priority now is to stabilize the country, you know, avoid hyperinflation and then, you know, transform the country. So I think that's why he's not talking much. But he can, if things, you know, turn right for him, if he is able to deliver, if this law that he's sending out to Congress gets passed and we start to see a recovery, you know, an economic recovery, a future of months, I think he can be, he can go back to the, you know, to the priest role from which he has receded in recent months. It's going to be interesting because he's staking out, this is a very doctrinaire, libertarian position that really differentiates him from the kind of more liberal governance that the WF would suggest, where he's saying literally there's no such thing as a market failure, you know, this I, and so it's kind of like where the policy rubber meets the road for a libertarian because there will be situations where some sort of voluntary transaction results in an externality. It results in something that costs other people something and kind of the doctrinaire, libertarian approach to that as well. They should be compensated through, they should be able to bring a suit, they should be able to bring a torch through the courts and get compensated for that. That's not at all how the modern world is governed. We're governed via regulation to avoid that kind of extreme liability from like an oil spill or air pollution or something like that. So it's going to be, I think, where it's like something to watch and kind of like empirically observe. Hey, thanks for watching that clip from our new show, Just Asking Questions.

Hello everyone, in this demo we will see how to use OpenShift sandbox containers to provide stronger isolation to OpenShift pipeline jobs. The demo environment is a six node OpenShift bare metal cluster. We will see that OpenShift sandbox containers operator is already installed and Cata runtime is installed on the worker nodes. So this is the Cata config custom resource and as we can see all the three worker nodes have Cata installed. Additionally, Cata runtime class is created. We will use this runtime class later on in the demo. Let's log into one of the worker nodes and see if any Cata containers is running or not. Note that Cata containers are lightweight VMs, so we will check for QME instances on the worker nodes. As we can see no Cata containers are running and we are just checking for the packages, so Cata containers package is installed as well. So let's check for the same things on the other worker nodes as well. So as we saw all the worker nodes have the Cata runtime installed and there are no Cata containers running. So now let's proceed with the sample application demonstrating OpenShift pipelines and subsequent integration with sandbox containers. The tutorial is in GitHub. We'll just follow the instructions as mentioned in the tutorial. We'll create the sample project and deploy the pipelines. As we can see the pipeline is all set up. Now we will execute the pipelines by creating pipeline run instances. Let's look at the pipeline run manifest. As you can see the port template specifies the runtime class as Cata. Now this ensures that all the jobs will be created as sandbox containers. Now let's take a look at the container and verify that it's running as a Cata container. So the container is running in worker one. Let's connect to worker one and verify the details. So as we can see a QME instance is running. So this is a lightweight VM which is running the container. Similarly we can see the details for the other containers as well. As you saw with a single line change to the pipeline run manifest you can execute your pipeline jobs with increased isolation using OpenShift Sandbox containers. Thanks for watching.


So guess what? We have two more types of loops, and you're thinking to yourself, oh my goodness, I just learned about the while loop. Why are you throwing more my way? Well, again, we're talking about the control flow. We're talking about a way we can control our program. And so one of those now is we have something called the do while loop. The do while works very similar to a while loop. A while loop, you could say, runs a while loop, runs zero to an infinite number of times. Now, a do while. A do while is going to run explicitly once to an infinite number of times. And if we take a look at the code, we can see kind of that in action. We see, first we say do in curly brace. Notice there's no conditional statement over here. There's no if situation here. Now, again, what happens is we do this, we do this line of code, we get down here, we get to the end. That's when the conditional statement actually gets evaluated.  Else we go back down. You can kind of see here's that diagram with it, you know, we do some action first, then we assess whether it's true or not. All right. Guess what? Like I said, we had two of these. So we also have something known as the for loop. Now, while loops and do loops are considered indeterminate. And it's because they can run an infinite number of times. Think about high low. What happens if my user just kept on wanting to play?  Well, I don't know how many times the user is going to play the game. So in theory, it's indeterminate. A for loop, on the other hand, a for loop is going to run explicitly in times, in being some number you specify. And it is considered determinant because, again, it runs explicitly how long you tell it to run. So how does it work? All of a sudden looks crazy going on here. The way you can think about it is you start with a block, a semicolon, a block, a semicolon, a block. So if that mnemonic kind of helps you add a little bit, we're looking at it in the sense that this first thing, this first part happens before the loop begins. So you can think of it like the do while. This happens first. This happens. Then we assess whether or not to continue running the loop. It's going to run x number of times based on this. We then have something known as my iteration action. Now that $5 word there, iteration. Iteration is just the way we can talk about cycling through a loop. So if I want to run through this loop, in this case, 10 or 11 times, at the end of every loop, at the end of the loop, let me just add this guy right here. At the end of the loop, explicitly do this guy. Explicitly do i plus plus. Always at the end of the loop, right before we go back to our for loop.
