Okay, so I'm going to talk about as we I guess we're almost have everyone in and this should still just be introductory material About scalable real-time architectures in Python. What do I mean by that? I? Want you to walk away from this session with a couple key ideas, okay? Specifically around partitioning and fault tolerance and how we can achieve that in building such scalable real-time architectures My focus will be on storm But the ideas are applicable to other tools as well such as spark Streaming or tools that you might roll yourself And I think the reason that we want to be doing this is of course, we're dealing with more data But we also want to be more responsive to that data I will show python But more at the end So i'm core developer jython. You may have seen my state of jython lightning talk yesterday I let me plug this book if you're ever interested in jython um, this is a great book I work at rackspace on these types of issues I have had the chance to work in um distributed computing for a while and especially failures at scale I teach the principles of programming language course occasionally at the university colorado Which is fun, but actually is done in scala um, not python and I Work with this user meetup on storm. We're probably going to be changing this to real-time streaming in the near future What sort of real-time architectures would you like to build?  This is your classic approach that you'd be doing in hadoop, but again streaming So you're not looking at this on a batch by day basis instead as it comes in you're updating your counts or other aggregate aggregations Perhaps you're building a dashboard So some extension of this Of the real-time aggregation I'm particularly interested in the idea of decision making Where you will be responding to information in your environment and taking some action So what are some of the common real-time characteristics Of such systems? Well, you're consuming streams of events You are Being event-oriented as an event occurs. You may take some action. You may want to compute. You may be doing something downstream You want to go and minimize the latency from the arrival of that event to that Potential computation certainly not ours Ideally going down to seconds or below in terms of that threshold of latency Such systems are often called complex event processing or you could call it stream processing It doesn't matter. These are the concepts the one thing that we are not doing here is doing hard real-time systems Oh one last thing You might have written one of your own type systems in fact.  Well, it should because it is about as generic as you get with a unix pipeline But what I wanted to show here is is that You have compositions. So you're being able to go and build this pipeline out of reusable filters Another nice property You can rerun this pipeline if any intermediate step failed But some problems I obviously Didn't show some of the details around you know tailing what not But there's also these aspects of how do you go and implement these other things such as joins windows But most importantly, how would you scale that thing up? I mean, I think we can all think about how that could be done. You might go and In some way describe One set of files is being processed by this machine One set of files by some other machine, but you have to go and actually manage that partitioning yourself So at rackspace we're using this Framework for complex event processing called espar Which has very much the same properties or again these this homegrown code And here's the problem. You need to ensure all relevant events about that given customer. It's in one place All right, if I'm going to be able to know something about this given customer I need to bring in all the relevant information. I have to go and put that in one place for that to happen We have to have some locality um again in terms of a This rackspace example where we're implementing global alarms. We want to allow customers Some degree of customization So we don't want to make it too hard coded Then run some computation. So again a very classic complex event processing system And simple sharding the one that we might just know be able to do Um quite readily Um by say well, maybe we'll do it all by all by customers and whatnot It doesn't necessarily um get us as far as we'd like because You might have again sharded on some of the key you might need to shard on multiple keys So what observations can we make?  We're no longer Building systems such that they always will require just that larger machine And said we build so that they can scale to a cluster of such machines But what do we know the more machines we add to the mix the more likely we're going to have failure as well Especially since we like to use commodity systems um And once we have failure then we have to go and coordinate Um So I have seen and maybe you've seen in your own environments that some sometimes people will propose Add zookeeper or add some coordination system And that just doesn't go and make the problem go away Even if zookeeper is awesome You still need to go and consider how do you manage failure? So yes zookeeper can go and give you all this in its toolbox And it's fantastic as a consequence But I'll tell you that that doesn't You know just assuming that you have distributed locking in your environment doesn't tell you how to recover From a failure and then going and releasing those distributed locks Um, the solution is not reboot the cluster How many have done that? So That's not a solution. We want to be it's okay for a given node in the cluster to fail But rebooting the cluster defeats the purpose of running a cluster So storm has some Terminology which I will Introduce by um as we go through but there is this idea of an event source which we call spouts We have event processing nodes called bolts And some topology to link it together in a directed acyclic graph There is strong support for partitioning fault tolerance these key elements That we started with in terms of thinking about how would I go and be able to build up a problem that I could divide and conquer on Storm is written in closure, but it exposes a java api hence my Use of jython here, although of course you could use some IPC mechanism to talk With you know a c python for example And that was actually done in the talk on tuesday where they were looking at the parsley system for that support It uses zookeeper To manage things, but you don't necessarily see it although you can use it as a resource for your own coordination And as part of the apache incubator Actually, there are some other apache incubator projects that are competing in the space probably the most notable would be spark streaming it actually Looks great in terms of The Support you can do with that Especially with its python integration. I think it's the the top contender and has some nice properties that One can look at that In terms of being functional that you do not see in storm These others samsa and s4 I don't know. I think that these are not Nearly as competitive and there's some interesting stuff around there like zero vm as well that you could potentially be doing So storm lets you partition streams So you can break down the size of your problem that returning to that idea of being able to divide and conquer your problem If the node fails Storm over started But here's an even more important aspect of what that means Oftentimes when we are thinking about Building systems, especially distributed systems. We want to think about what are the invariants provided by the underlying framework What does it give us? And this actually helps explain also Why you have this distinction between an event source and storm and event bolts this these processing nodes Because sources are the things That you are producing events that have to eventually be Acknowledged in storm Okay, so that you can ensure that All events are in fact eventually processed And when I said eventually by the way it actually means in an eventually consistent scheme um and likewise This idea of bolts Distinguishing that because you can always replay for them Hence this topology and The topology in terms of how many nodes you might have so this is describing how your cluster is being split up in terms of its resources Here's the Perhaps one of the more important invariants that's being provided The number of nodes for a given spout Maybe a Kafka event source The number of nodes for a given bolt Maybe that something that is actually doing some interesting processing of that event is held constant So during the lifetime of this topology, you know that you always have seven nodes for um your Kafka ingest Your Kafka spout What does that mean in terms of your ability to know exactly what's going on in your environment in order to maintain appropriate counters in other state? It's very strong Okay, so storm is taking an account one Extremely important aspect of how you divided that problem up because during the lifetime of this topology If you always know that someone is handling this problem and you can always go think about if we had people here You can always go to that person um Now you don't have to think about oh what happens if Um, we add some additional people. It's nice to be able to scale up problems. So that is a separate Issue in terms of scaling up the size of a topology. You would do that outside of a given um A run of your real-time computation Um, and I'll if that isn't sufficient motivation, I'll give you an example in just a moment Okay, I think I'm running a little bit slow. So I'm gonna try to speed up now um But these are most important concepts your your takeaways So You have computational locality You know that the events For a given node are the ones that are supposed to be there because that's how you define your routing Um, you can route on some sort of what they call field groupings um, again an example is your customer a tenant in a cloud um a region of some kind some way of breaking up the problem space in terms of your events And again What possibilities do you have if you knew all of the? Information you needed to know about a given customer and it was in one place It changes how you think about things So normally when you go and Write your queries and say, um, you know using a relational database the data is over there and you bring it to you for a given computation instead In systems like storm You move the computation to to the data that is the fundamental idea in a map reduce system like storm like hadoop Um, but unlike something like hadoop This is in real time So you're able to keep all of that data in memory Compute on it in real time And do something interesting so I should mention of course since it's mapping, um, you you might have multiple customers on the given node So you have to consider that But that's an easy distinction to make So again, you will know that it will be on this node and only on this node um There are other ways of routing such as random shuffling Um global grouping, which means that there's just one node everything goes there Obviously not scalable, but useful for getting totals Um, storm will track that success All you have to do is consider what your retries are and there are other ways of doing this in terms of Doing exactly once event processing, but knowing that at least once all events were Successively successfully observed and computed on Is pretty fantastic again think back to that pipeline that unix pipeline. I was showing you That's that same idea If the pipeline goes down, I can retry it Of course You have to handle retry, but what does that look like? Um, here's the first python code. It's easiest, right? Um, if you've already seen that record Then you can ignore it Otherwise process it if you Re um try this computation Then you if you haven't seen it in the in the context of actually being successful with it, then you can do that retry All right, that's a merge function. It's a simple. It can be that simple But it will depend on the nature of your problem. For instance, if I am doing something that's transactional is nature Um You are um wiring me $1,000 Okay You can retry that many times and I'll be very happy about that So don't think that Retries are always going to be successful and that's the nature of eventually consistent systems Now sometimes you actually have to have strong consistency Um, and there are of course other ways you could go and have some sort of balancing compensation or something like that and say Well, give me back that $1,000 And and actually in real wiring of funds that in fact does happen Um, oh another thing. Um, and you see this in any type of streaming systems Your streaming Should not capture everything that comes through This is that, you know, old thing, you know in order to do your computations You have to download the internet if you're doing web crawling. Sure. You do that Um But again, that's done an appropriate system So you have to window um, another cap caveats would be around there are no query languages You have to build your own and that's actually kind of interesting again with parsley has some approaches I expect that we will see these things emerge over time. Think of these as building blocks That give you these capabilities, but again These capabilities are a lot like a unix pipeline imagine and we know what we could build with those Um, so you may have to make your own maybe use some of these other libraries Okay, I'm going to go and just skip through this a little bit Um Except that I will say that um Zookeeper is an important aspect Of most systems that you would build And so you probably will be interacting with in some way so your Um Spouts are ultimately Responsible their event sources. They're responsible for ensuring that all events were at Um, eventually played through successfully Eventually acknowledged And you need to go and ensure that appropriate handshaking. So as you are consuming from Kafka You are updating your offsets in it accordingly Uh I should tell you that again as some experience with zookeeper if you actually try to do Uh, one thing I didn't mention at the very beginning. This is that people run a million events a second through a storm node and um Uh, and of course you can have many of those nodes running Um, if you try to do a million events or more per second against zookeeper That's not going to work.  Okay so And so you get into things like this in terms of the kafka handshaking What that would look like and I will go back through this in just a moment, but I need to move on so you can have Spouts like this. Um, and some of these are already written um mostly in java but Or in scala, but the advantage of storm is it's multi lingual in the sense that it all runs on the jvm You could run feeds like twitter through you can pull in data from kassandra The important thing to know is it's not that difficult to implement and I'll show you in just a moment Um, another thing is is that you can push or pull events into the system There isn't something where storm is just saying you can only it will only accept events at a certain time You can always um push events in But it will ask you when it wants events as well. So you can use that to help balance things Um Again, you're going to be using that topologizing invariant to know how your work is being split up So you might go and have um Something like a real-time dashboard. You might be using rack space cloud files or some other Cloud provider to send things out You might have some sort of real-time decision-making. I'm interested in auto scaling In an environment, you might often have contradictory information about how things are working converge on some action That's the point of which why you're bringing all that data in one place You may have something along these lines where you are doing some sort of real-time aggregation Um A couple of minutes. I will describe Um python on storm using clamp, which I briefly described in the lightning talk yesterday as well um Let's face it python is a great fit for writing your storm code Um, and we have this system called clamp that allows you to readily Wrap your python class classes so they can be readily used from java in some cases in just one line of code Um, so I discussed this yesterday where you could go and um have some bar clamp class Um, this is sort of a hello world example um, you can readily in Um, a couple lines that are unique to um clamp just go and um add it You can construct an uber jar Um, I'm in germany. I can say this um An uber jar your one jar Um, or a single jar build it has everything and distribute it to um storm Um, you can use it in this fashion but Here's what It really looks like here's some code that you could readily use say you have a monitoring spout You're going to be opening up your connection to kafka Um, there again. I I actually gave this talk at rack space. It looks like a There's an internal system that um, of course we talk about publicly called adam hopper, but again some others have a feed like twitter um You can go and read parse events by as it's asking for it from next to next tuple But again if you have something where you're pushing events you can emit at any time And then you're responsible for managing these callbacks Fail and act what do you do under those circumstances? um, perhaps you want to go And do some sort of computation on this. What would it look like? This is the pseudocode associated with it um This is all that you need to this is the basic thing that you need to implement you need to implement these three methods You're pretty much done. How complicated is that? It could be like your unix pipeline. It could be something that's um Really simple or could be more complicated again If i'm trying to weigh Events that are telling me. Oh, it's going this way and it's going that way and I have to figure out what really is happening But that's the advantage of having it all in one place So conclusions about this storm lets you horizontally skate out your real-time architecture You have to consider partitioning and fault tolerance In fact to me this is these are the key questions you answer This is how you actually think about what it means to divide and conquer Your large problem so that it works On this cluster of machines answer these questions And you get to go from what you were previously doing in terms of a simple unix pipeline To which was analyzing log files something very similar To something that can be scalable and again real-time All right, you can choose your favorite language, but I know what your favorite language here is Um, it's python and you know, you could again use um some of the mechanisms that are out there in terms of communicating Uh via c python or whatnot, but you could also use again jython and type directly into this big data Um, uh system, so I I definitely would advocate for it. I should Um Your strategies will work with storm Such as test urban development Have fun So this talk is available On my github Repo Jim Baker talks and any questions Yes Mm-hmm Yes Yeah, so so that's a great question. Um, yeah, sure. So, um The question is the long lines of They currently have a multiple data centers. They're running a storm cluster in each of these And they needed to go and consolidate that information in one place Now the first thing to know is that You do not want to There are very few systems that will span multiple data centers And storm is not one of those systems Okay, you are going to be running a storm cluster in one data center Another storm cluster in some other data center the way that you would Um do the spanning problem is use some q To ensure that data is Pushed to some central data center. You may you you may need to go of course consider what failure you might have It gets more complicated. So you you basically move that problem to your cues use something like Kafka For example Yes That's the best. Yeah, I mean there's certainly not something that you can do in storm because again it really Is depending on the fact that you know It's running on zookeeper and zookeeper doesn't span multiple data centers. I mean, yes, you can in a theoretical sense That's not going to be great So don't do that Use systems that actually are proven to work And you're not just doing some interesting innovation along those lines Which you will find is not fantastic innovation Um, so we are we are So, yeah, I I don't know if there are any other questions I this is something that I can take out Afterwards because I obviously would love to spend lots of time on it Anything else? so I guess we're done. Um, so please ask me those questions that you might have


So you're trying to read for class but you can never seem to remember what you read. How can you make sure that your attention gets a little bit better? Let's talk about it. All right guys, welcome to the MD Journey channel, completely dedicated to helping you succeed on your medical journey. My name is Lakshman, I'm an internal medicine physician and resident in training. If you're new here, we make videos to help you become a doctor, but doing it with more effective study tips, productivities. So if you're new here, definitely consider hitting that like button, subscribe button. But today I want to talk to you about how to remember what you read. I get questions about this all the time through comments or emails saying, I'm trying to go through my syllabus material super dense. I have no idea what's important or what's not. And my retention just falling, like what should I do? Now for an example, to make this video just straight to the point, I'm gonna use the ventilator book, which is a book that a lot of residents will use to help them understand how to manage ventilators and ICU and take care of a really sick patient. Now I could go through this book in a very kind of basic traditional way and know that there's a good chance I'm gonna forget a lot of it. But as a physician in an ICU, that's not really an option. I can't really have the luxury of saying, well, sorry, you forgot that page.  And so to make sure that I can remember what I'm reading here, one of the things I'll do is have a very systematic approach of how I go through any new material, whether it's a journal article, a textbook, a syllabus. And so the same applies for you studying for your classes. Now the traditional way of going through a new piece of material is kind of doing a stop and go kind of method where you go through material and like, oh, that's important. Maybe I should write that down or make a flashcard about it or something. And then you go back into learning and reading the tables and just kind of a big of a time waster as you're transitioning your energy between obtaining the information and then somehow trying to process it as well as creating a quiz material. There's a lot of messiness that goes with it. So one of the things I recommend to a lot of my coaching students on how to make their reading more effective is to be able to go through their systems of their syllabus much more effectively and with minimal friction. And so that includes going to the syllabus lecture in one pass without making so many stops and goes. And so while you may have the desire of saying, oh, that's important, let's take notes on it, instead I'll say, well, if you think it's important, maybe just create a mark on the side of the page next to kind of the line that that piece of information is. So if you're reading an important paragraph, maybe just put a star at that paragraph and continue to do this throughout your lecture. Now you've been able to get through the material, ideally in kind of a skimming quick phase. So you can say, okay, what's important? What's standing out?  Now, once you've identified what's important, the next question, how can you make sure you retain that information? The answer to that is to make it as active as learning as possible. And so while you may just read it or try to process it and just rewrite it and regurgitate it on your textbook or your Word document, instead of what I actually encourage you to do is maybe write a question next to your marking or write a question on your Word doc that refers to that piece of information. So if you're reading about a patient with a specific type of liver disease, phrase that statement into the form of a question and put it into your notes. And once you've identified what you consider to be important in the lecture, the next question is how can you make it more unlikely that you're gonna go ahead and retain it? And the answer to this is by making that important statement and recreating it in the form of a question. So whether you're learning about hypertension, or heart failure, or liver disease, and you have a specific piece of information, ask how can I go ahead and create this piece of information that I normally would just like type in to my notes or my notebook, how can I create it in the form of a question? Now, by the time this video comes out, video on how to take notes is either come out or it will come out pretty shortly. But I talk about a method called a Q and E method which basically structures your notes in a question and answer format. And so if you haven't, go ahead and check that video down below if it's already out. And once it is out, I'll go ahead and also link it below in the description. And once you create your question, you can obviously add it to your word doc or your notebook. Sometimes I'd also go ahead and actually put it physically in my syllabus next to that paragraph that I refer to. And that way, when I'm doing my review, if I wanted to, I could actually go ahead and go through the different pages of that lecture and simply see, I answer all those questions in the margin. If so, I don't really need to read that paragraph. I've pretty much got the gist. But if I can't, then I know I can just quickly shift my eyes over and get that important information pretty quickly. Now, this is really just the first part of increasing your attention when you read. Honestly, the next part is the most important and that's having a very predicted and structured review schedule. Most people will typically not review what they read. They'll kind of review what they've created from their reading. That's why it's important that you create your notes in that Q and E meta that I mentioned through your notebooks or your word processor. Regardless of how you choose to review, it's important that you actually have a predicted schedule on one. You're gonna review lecture one, lecture 10, lecture 11. So that way, when you look at your schedule, you can say, okay, this hour block is dedicated for that lecture that I learned about a week ago. And it's for me to challenge myself in saying, can I answer those important questions once again? So you can refer to your notes or you can refer to your physical text if you chose to write your answers in there. The approach doesn't really matter, but having that structured time that's saying, I'm gonna go ahead and go back to the material and seeing if I can answer those important questions is really where a good portion of your attention comes from. And as a bonus tip, one of the things I really enjoy doing is I hate kind of going from start to finish when I'm reviewing a text. So for example, I need to understand what's on page three of this book as much as I need to understand what's on page 200. And so usually when I would create my study schedules, I would do kind of an outside in approach, meaning that on day one, if I could do four lectures, then I would do two lectures from the front and two lectures from the back. And each day I would kind of progressively move towards the middle and then move back towards the outside if I had enough time to review for a second time. This way I was reviewing some old material where it's been quite some times as I've learned it, as well as the material that I had just recently learned and make sure that I know both the old and the new equally well. But to review guys, to make sure that you're getting the most bang for your buck when you're reading, step number one is to make sure you're systematically going through the material as quickly as possible without so many stop and goes. So that includes marking topics that you consider to be important, that way you can come back and identify them later. Step two is to go to these important pieces of information and change them in the form of a question. Step three would be to take these questions and include them in your word processor notes or your physical notebook or on the actual text itself. And step number four is to have a very predicted review schedule that way you know what hour of the week that you're gonna review which lecture. And as a bonus tip, try that outside in approach to have a very authentic kind of review process that's gonna feel much more natural like the actual exam instead of going all the way in a chronological order. But that is basically my step-by-step approach that I use as a med student and I use in college. Hopefully it helps you guys out. If you guys do have more questions about kind of how to go through your reading material more effectively, drop those comments down below. If you have more questions about other things regarding studying and productivity in medical school also drop those down below.

Gotta go, gotta see things. See new places and brand new things. Gotta go places and do things. Maybe to forget it, it, it, it, it. What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I'm GoPony on the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we are in the brand new 2022 Honda Passport, courtesy of Apple Honda in York PA for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so we are in this one today because there has been a refreshed look for the 2022 Passport. Of course, you also have legendary Honda reliability as well. And there's plenty of new standard features as well for the 2022 Passport along with that. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering for ride quality sounds to some exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the 2022 Passport. First one being the EXL starting at $38,370. Then you have the new Trail Sport starting at $42,970. And the Elite, which actually is the one we are in today, starting at $45,930. But regardless of the trim level that you go with the power plant on the new Passport here will be the same. Powering the Beast is a 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6, putting out 280 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 262 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,700 RPM, power sent to front wheels or all wheels through a nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will be testing out here in a little bit. Zero to 60 time, get this. Coming in at a very impressive six seconds flat, MPG numbers coming in at 20 in the city, 25 in the highway for the front-wheel drive. And that front-wheel drive, by the way, is only available for the EXL, in case anybody was curious about that. But then 19 in the city, 24 then on the highway for the all-wheel drive taking regular unleaded fuel. And so before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter or acceleration test here in our Passport, did want to mention to you guys the driving modes. And so there's a little SUV-like logo directly behind the shift buttons there. That's going to be what you're going to want to press for the drive modes. They will include normal snow, mud, sand, sport, and then econ as well. And the econ buttons located by the driver's left knee, by the way. But anyways, all of those drive modes adjusting things like the shift points, the throttle response, the steering sensitivity, the climate control settings, and the all-wheel drive system engagement then as well. It's up and down having got all of that out of the way. What do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put it in sport driving mode first. I don't think I mentioned, but all you do for the sport driving mode is press that D slash S button and it immediately downshifts for me like it just did, giving me more power on demand, holding the RPMs at a much higher level. So that is pretty cool. And that's also another way you can get it in that full manual shift mode there as well. So anyways, having now rambled off all of that stuff, what do you guys say? Let's find a straight, let's put the paddle shifters here to the test first and let's see how quickly they are going to react for us here. All right you guys, so I think what we're gonna do here is we're gonna do the paddle shifter and acceleration test here at the same time. So I'm going to go ahead and downshift in second gear, in first gear. All right, here's our spot. We're in first gear in three, two, one, go. Wow. Okay, they're not bad. Actually, not bad. Paddle shifters, move squirrel. Paddle shifters are not bad. Not the quickest things in the world of course, but again, they're not bad. And the other thing you can use paddle shifters for as we're going down this hill here, is if it were to be snowing here in Pennsylvania, I could use paddle shifters to do a little bit of engine braking. So as opposed to actually hitting the brakes and risk sliding off the road, I could simply just downshift and let the engine do a little bit of the braking for me. So it's a little bit of a safety feature having those paddle shifters. But having said that, the acceleration was incredibly quick. Zero to 60 in six seconds, it feels like that. This is plenty of an acceleration emerging onto the highway. Really for an SUV of this size, it's a plenty of an acceleration. So no complaints from me whatsoever. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So upfront, you will find 12.6 inch ventilated front disc in the back, 13 inch solid rear disc. As far as that 60 to zero stopping this goes, it's actually going to commit it in even 130 feet. Having said that, braking feel feels perfectly natural here in the passport or put it that way. It's pretty much as I expected. It's not a firm braking feel, but it's not a loose braking feel either. It's not a squishy braking feel. It actually feels perfectly fine. I guess that's what I'm trying to say here. But anyways, the touching on suspension and handling upfront, you're going to get a McPherson strut front suspension in the back, independent multi-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars. As far as ride quality goes, I actually watched a review on the passport just a couple of days ago. And this said the ride quality is a little bit on the firmer side of things, but gotta be honest, I kind of disagree. I felt firm ride qualities in my past 700-ish reviews. And this isn't it. This is perfectly fine. I've had no issues with the ride quality whatsoever. So it's definitely absorbing Pennsylvania's road of perfections quite nicely. I mean, it doesn't have an adaptive suspension. It doesn't have an air suspension. I didn't expect it to. That, of course, will give it a much smoother ride. But it's as I expected and it's soaking up, like I said, soaking up the road of perfections perfectly fine. So no issues there, at least for me. Touching on steering feel, I like it. It's a little bit on the heavier side of things, but it's definitely not a loose steering feel. So I think it's perfect for the passport. Honda did a really good job with the steering feel as well. Touching on cabin noise, I'm going 10 miles per hour right now. So there's a whole lot of exterior wind noise whatsoever coming into the cabin. But when I was going a little bit faster on the highway there, again, it's perfectly fine. Definitely didn't have any issues there either. And touching on visibility, I could see perfectly fine out the back actually. I've had no issues with the visibility whatsoever. Looking out my rear view mirror, this second row headrest aren't really getting in the way at all either, which is sometimes the case in SUV. So no issues there. And if you were to go with the elite trim level like we have today, you will also get rain sensing windshield wipers then as well. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Honda Passport. All right, so here she is, you guys. The new 2022 Honda Passport finished in radiant red metallic, in case anybody was curious of our exterior color name. Definitely a very nice looking color to this one. But let's go ahead and start up front. Of course, you do have a revised front end for the 2022 model year. Definitely a very nice look to it. And that includes the front grille, with the headlight housings and the entire front fascia altogether basically. But anyways, to the sides, LED low beam headlights do come standard. LED daytime running lights coming standard with that as well. Automatic feature, of course, meaning when it starts to get dark at night, those headlights will turn on automatically for you there. But automatic high beams actually also coming standard for all trim levels across the board. Meaning when you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim those back to low beams. Then when that vehicle is gone, it's gonna automatically bounce them back up to high beams. So definitely a very nice safety feature in itself there. Down below, LED fog lights coming with the trail sport and elite trim levels. You guys can see that we have those there today. And to the sides, we'll actually find front air curtains helping direct air around the wheel tire combination as well. But overall, definitely like the refreshed look for the 2022 Passport. But that pretty much rounds out the front end of this one. So now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since we are around to the side of the Passport, roof rails do come standard on the trail sport and elite trim levels.  So I wanted to mention that rear privacy glass coming standard across the board. Of course, you will find black windows surrounds for all trim levels as well. There's a little bit of a floating roof line finished in black. You guys can see that on the C pillar of the Passport in the back there. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors for the EXL. Otherwise you will get gloss black side mirrors for the trail sport and elite trim levels like you're looking at right now. Heated side mirrors though do come standard with LED integrated turn signals as well. Also reverse gear tilt down feature coming standard for every single trim level across the board. You usually don't find that on bottom trim. So big fan of that as well.  And take a look at the wheel setup. You will find 20 inch pewter gray alloys for the EXL. 18 inch machine finished alloys for the trail sport and then 20 inch machine finished alloys for the elite. And of course, again, that is what you guys are looking at right now. But pretty much rounds out the side profile here. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, and so now since we are around to the back of this one, body colored shark fin antenna all the way to the top. Body colored rear spoiler with an integrated brake light also coming standard across the board. Rear window wiper, of course, you will find some trim level badging found on the right side of that rear tailgate. So in case you're wondering onto a Honda lot on maybe a Sunday and you were curious what trim level you were looking at, that is one sure fire way to go ahead and tell. LED tail lights actually do come standard for all trim levels across the board as well. And perhaps my very favorite part of the passport, you guys know I like exposed exhaust outlets, but these exhaust outlets are kind of on the massive side, which I am absolutely a fan of. I love that look. Anyways, dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the passport, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a power tailgate for every single trim level across the board. So there's actually a button on the tailgate itself towards the bottom, simply just press that and it's gonna automatically open up for you. It's also a button on the key fob as well. But I will say if you go with the elite trim level, it is a hands-free power tailgates. All you need to do is simply kick your foot underneath of the back there and it's gonna automatically open up. Let's say if your hands are full. So that's a pretty cool feature too. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 41.2 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 60-40 split, meaning the rear seats do fold down, bumping that up to 77.7 cubic feet. And by the way, there's a couple buttons located in the cargo area to actually fold down those seats pretty easily if you wanted to go that route. So did like seeing that. Cargo lighting, of course, can be found back there. There's some grocery bag hooks. There's some little bit of indented storage on both sides as well. There's four cargo tie-down anchors, which is pretty cool. And 12-volt power outlet. And if you were to lift up under that floor of the cargo area, you will actually find some in-floor storage and a decent amount of it as well. So you could put maybe an ice scraper or a tire inflator kit or something like that back there. So definitely a big fan of seeing that. Then making our way up to the rear legroom that comes in at 39.6 inches. So for reference, I mean, even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Rear ventilation does come standard, but not just that. Tri-Zone climate control coming standard, meaning rear passengers can set their own temperature back there as well. Rear charging ports, and that includes two USB charging ports for the rear passengers. And actually a 115-volt power outlet back there as well, which is pretty cool to see. Heated rear seats coming for the elite trim level only. So we do have those today. Rear center armrest with cup holders, of course, coming standard. And if you were to go with the trail sport or elite trims, you're actually going to get rear window sunshades back there as well, which is always handy if you have maybe a newborn coming in from the hospital or just young kids in general. You want to keep the sun out of their eyes. You have rear window sunshades back there. So always a big fan of that. But then making our way up to the front seats, power adjustable leather seating for every single trim level across the board. And that includes power lumbar, by the way, as well. You're gonna get some orange contrast stitching with that if you were to go with the trail sport trim level. Heated front seats coming standard for all trim levels yet again. You will also get though ventilated front seats for the elite trim that we have here today. Two position memory settings are going to come standard on all trim levels across the board. So you have two different drivers that is going to definitely help you out there. And overall, seating was plenty comfortable. I didn't have any issues finding my perfect driving position or anything like that. But now take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It did telescope out a decent amount. It is leather wrapped for every single trim level across the board. Definitely a big fan of that. You're gonna get some orange contrast stitching yet again for the trail sport trim level. It's gonna be a common theme, by the way. And it's gonna be heated if you were to go with the elite trim level that we have with us here today. Now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here to have your Honda logo on the one side. Then when you flip it over lock, unlock the button to pop the rear tailgate there. And that circular button that says hold that is going to be a remote start coming standard across the board. Ultimately it is all keyless entry with a push button start. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my fun of the break and press that bright red engine start button located just by the driver's right knee. And so once started up, the majority of this gauge cluster is gonna be a digital form. Engine tap is gonna be all the way to your left fuel information to your right but ultimately to adjust what is on that digital display there are steering wheel mounting controls found on the left side of the steering wheel. It's gonna give you things like when you need your next oil change there's your navigation information up there. There's trip A, trip B of course. Outside temperature, the list goes on and of course the digital speedometer as well. So pretty much everything you could possibly want on the digital portion of the gauges there. But so then make your way to overall interior quality here. Power moonroof is going to come standard on every single trim level across the board, love that. Overhead sunglass holder also coming standard. That comes with a conversation mirror. So I can actually see the rear passengers like a school bus driver would be able to do. So that is pretty cool. Trizone climate control coming standard again. So both driver, passenger can set their own temperatures on the rear passengers as well. Homeland controls to up to three different garage doors found in the bottom portion of that rear view mirror. And by the way, that rear view mirror is an auto dimming rear view mirror.  Illuminated beverage holders, this is pretty cool. Coming with the trail sport and elite trim levels can be an LED lighting coming with the trail sport and elite trims as well. The difference being the trail sport is going to give you an amber color whereas the elite is going to give you a white color for that ambient LED lighting. Wireless phone charger actually coming standard for all trim levels across the board.  And speaking of in front of the cupholders just above that wireless phone charger you got a little bit of storage there. There is a 12-volt power outlet. Also a USB charging port. You got your dual cupholders of course. And within the center kind of cargo area you will find another 12-volt power outlet another USB charging port and an absolute ton of storage if you wanted to put some stuff in there. But overall I like the gloss black accents. You can find right around the shifter as well as on the doors just about bastard side glove box. So I am a fan of that because I know it's easy to clean. I've had that in my vehicles before. So that's not too bad. But for the most part everything's kind of finished more on the minimalist side of things. So no complaints from me though I'll say that. But now let's go ahead and take a look at the infotainment screen here. And so eight inch color touch screen display is going to come standard across the board. That's gonna come with Bluetooth and audio streaming Android Auto Apple CarPlay. Factory navigation system is going to come on the trail sport and elite trims. You do have some really cool looking clock display options always like playing around with that. Honda is kind of known for that little added feature there. So I think that's pretty cool. Radio information can be found up there as well of course. And so when it comes to the sound systems for the passport you will find seven speakers with a subwoofer for the EXL and trail sport. But then if you were to go with the elite you're gonna get a 10 speaker sound system with 540 watts and yet again another subwoofer. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. I'm not telling you. Actually really, really, really good crystal clear. I could tell there was a ton of bass in that as well. So that is actually a really, really good sound system for the passport without a doubt. But anyways, last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the passport in reverse you will find your rear view camera for all trim levels with three views including you guys can see those buttons at the bottom left hand corner. It's gonna give you a couple different views. But anyways, that is always is going to lead us into safety and so to start front side, side crew and airbags do come standard in the back you're gonna have latch AKA lower anchors that tether your children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system and then Honda sensing coming standard on all trim levels across the board as well including a collision mitigation breaking system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward collision warning and lane departure warning then as well but also coming standard blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert as well. And so overall when it comes to my final thoughts I am a fan of the refresh. I thought this before looked a little bit too similar to the pilot and I thought they needed to differentiate a little bit and that's what they kind of did for the 2022 model year. So I do like the new look of it. Plenty of cargo space in this thing even without it being as big as the pilot you still got 77.7 cubic feet which is still plenty of space. Nice acceleration. That is one thing Honda always gets right is the acceleration in their vehicles. They got really quick vehicles that don't necessarily have to be like this thing but it is. So I was a huge fan of that. So I was ready for improvement goes. I checked IIHS. It's not a top safety pick for the 2022 model year. So I wanted to make note of that. Honestly still in the end I think I would still go for the pilot just because you do have more cargo space and you also have better braking which is always a big thing for me as well. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the new passport in the comments section below. That is about it for this one you guys. Thank you so much for watching.

Removing dingleberries again that was olive very obvious. Someone took something. Uh-huh. Hey, we'll come out Do it again. You did it.  I'm over there. Thank you I don't is anybody still on Twitter X whatever the hell you want to call it more than our own threads that no Yep, that's very changing rapidly No, it's you know many companies and people have you know how many people Twitter, you know how many people left threads It was famous.  Maybe I don't know what that means today We got a this is the interview with Siddharth Anand the director of Patan and war and Yeah, the upcoming of fighter. He talks about working with Shah Rukh Khan And so I'm sure it'll be like he never shows up on time. He doesn't know his lines and he smells terrible awful very mean to people Yeah, it's the general that's the standard consensus. We've heard as that he's unprofessional He said that in the AIB one that people talk about how he smells good. Yeah, and apparently in that Same video. They just a different portion of it. They did talk about how he's of course I Want to know what he wears He's he has said yeah, he combines two Okay, but does it why doesn't Shah Rukh Khan have his own color have his own scent? That's weird It is maybe he does we just don't know about it sell out. Yeah in a heartbeat But do you do the a lot of people do this Jimmy Fallon does this Prince did this when he was around? I think a most Do you do the cloud or you just put it on when you would you put when you put any cologne or after shape on? Yeah, you don't do like and walk through it. No, yeah That's what that's what a lot of people do even the men women have always done that and they put it on the wrist And behind the ear that they also do it and walk through the cloud I'm gonna start doing it It does because they get all the draw all of the droplets or on all they're all over you Okay, then just go like this. No, it's too condensed Now you just go and as it falls that you walk through it.  How many of you do that? A little bit about Shahrukh Khan Who's that? I Went and saw it on Thursday And up and coming background actor and an afternoon show and I was like I came out and I was like, oh my god It was for me. It was a rediscovery of Shahrukh Khan kiss of life for any cinema. This is the guy You know, I felt the way I felt when I saw forji. Who is this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was almost like a discovery to me personally of Shah I guess this is the debut on TV the heady charm and then I realized as the movie went along How much fun I had how charming things were and how seemingly simple and yet like you heard in my introduction There were some big ideas floating in there if you wanted to find them So So many things to unpack here, but let's start with Shahrukh Khan You know shot every every film of his I think comes with a little bit of his personality somewhere chapter has his resilience and Patan has his flamboyant It's a lot of Shahrukh Khan in Patan. It's the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor He uses the kind of larger-than-life persona that he is so Patan is actually Shahrukh Khan I couldn't take another actor and make the same film. It wouldn't be the same thing His charm the way he's about women the way he's about his country everything is Shahrukh Khan himself So, yeah, it's it's it's a lot of biopic Khan in this film isn't it in my video. Yeah, in fact, someone was talking to me and said, you know, but it It is okay. It's not a romance. I want to see Shahrukh in a romance. He was not romancing anyone I said, hello, he was romancing You know He was romancing in this movie It's interesting you for me to hear you say that this was really the essence of Shahrukh Khan because at the post release press conference that you guys did I think it was John Abraham. Somebody said, you know, Shahrukh is not an actor. He's an emotion. He's a feeling Cues in from there. Absolutely. That's the sentiment. I think I realized towards the end of the film is what the audience expects out of him They expect love they expect positivity and there's an unsaid romance that he has with the audience Like you said, it's gender neutral age neutral I'm seeing videos of old older older people, you know, plowing themselves through snow and warming to watch the film It's all over the internet that they're just breaking out of their homes to come and watch him and Yeah, so I think it's it's his personality that that really has led this craze more than anything He said he said something at the press conference, which I found interesting He said that everybody who worked on that film off of course starting with you and I did to bra and then everybody else down Just wish to help for the film and for him for him Tell me a little bit about that emotional Unders underpinning to this experience of making and creating this film You know, let's let's For the time being take out the fact that his last few films didn't work That he is the underdog coming into Patan. Let's take that out because it's not true a The personality that he is on set when he walks into the room He will greet everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. And if he's late, I'm so sorry. I'm late and At the end of the shoot he said, thank you guys. Thank you so much. Thank you Thank you. He'll say that he'll acknowledge the hard work.  That is what he means when he says that because He could feel the love everyone wanted wanted to give him everyone wanted to give their best For the film everyone wanted him to succeed So I think that's what he's talking about because that that's all him ever do you really have stars stars normally, you know are full of themselves You know when they walk, they're generally two inches above the ground It's not real. That's we do that we put them on the pedestal We give them that special feeling that oh, you're different when you walk into the room. We all stand up So we do that for them.  He'll give that much respect that much time. You want a picture? He may show he's there even if he's tired He'll do that. So how can you not root for success? Is it also because of the particularly challenging year that it was for him personally in the past year? We know about the kind of harassment that happened to his son Right, and we know that it was absolutely a travesty of justice. So, you know, there's something a filmmaker told me before I started shooting for Patan Who's worked with him? He told me one thing that now on you want to work with Shah Rukh You'll never want to work with anybody else You'll always want to work with him and I wondered why he said that and he had made a film with Shah Rukh at his peak of Stardom that means he felt the same what I felt During Patan and that you're talking about after he's gone through whatever he went in the last year in the past year That means that's him. It's not the situations that drove him to do this. That's him Even today, I'm thinking constantly. What do I do next with him? I'm driven by it. I mean, he's just he's so giving And as a filmmaker, he is everything you imagined an artist to be he's not the star You said in that press conference that he's like clay Yeah, yeah, and that if a film with Shah Rukh Khan does not do well, it's the director who has failed So Sadat, you know if I so you're saying that He gives it all. Yeah, and he's willing to follow whatever you tell him So then if the films that don't do well, you're saying the blame lies with the director You know, this is the thing that I'm not saying it after my film was a success This is something I constantly said it two months into into into starting working with him. You know, we we knew each other But we never worked with the other barring a couple of ads. We never worked with each other So I didn't have I didn't know what it is. Actually, it's post working with him Him coming with this superstar baggage and realize that he like I said is an artist You tell him anything. There is no question. There is no questioning your ability or your or What you had imagined you wanted this I'll do it You want me to stand and say this I'm gonna sit and say don't mean to drink at this time You want to keep my lips open at that time? Let me turn at this point. Okay, stop cut now I'll assume this from here. Not that listen. I mean that flow. Let me say this line while I'm looking at this person No, sir, I don't want you to say that I want you to turn to the camera off camera And I'm gonna cut and take the shot from here and I will look down. Okay done There's no questioning why blind faith blind faith That's when I realized and I said that this to my producer that you know if this film fears it's all me Because he's just left everything to me and then he told me he just said that if I if I don't submit to you Why am I doing this film because I believe you know this film better than me and I'm I want to do this With you see if I'm going to doubt you and question you then I shouldn't be doing this So that's his theory and he always says that let's talk about the story the writing the spy worse The name but Han, which I believe you've had for a while. Yeah, why? You know, I've had this this fetish for collecting titles. So I had collected bang bang But Han and I have a few more titles as well and I don't know how I'll make them Register them that register them. In fact, I'd register even Javan is my title and When Shaul so wanted the title and he asked me for it. I obviously So I have to have it that you know if I think of something I go and register it It probably stems from a desire to have wanting to work for them to for that desire And I thought that that title Spells some sort of energy some action and And so I thought maybe that'll be over Yeah, so similar to what we've heard before it's actually kind of sad not anything about Shaul Rakan itself but the fact that he does these these things that you would hope everybody would do as an actor, right like be kind to people Do what the directors asking you to do and that is show up on time know your lines That is not or and I'm not saying anything about Shaul Rakan. That's nothing about him It's it's more about everybody else in the industry. I guess that it's such a shock that somebody like him would do those things That's the sad part Like the fact that like apparently there's these so many other stars that just like don't do this and that's why this is Yeah, this is exceptional Right once again. This is nothing against Shaul Rakan. I'm so happy that he does that because he doesn't have to because he is a star But you would hope that everybody would right? It's just it's just it I guess it tells you something about the industry and what these stars think about and he said I guess he alluded to it that they all think they're like their tool two inches off the ground because they think they're floating on right on Anything I guess But that that's that's the sad part to me is the fact that I guess there's a lack of Effort from a lot of stars. Yeah or stars who tell the director no I'm doing it this way and it's completely antithetical to the script to the moment They just want to do it because they're the star. Yeah, that happens. Yeah happens as well and the him doing with the director the thing he said about If he's in it and you fail it's the director for and it's kind of for most films Film is the director's medium So writing and directing are probably the two most important aspects. They are film. They are but I've seen him do bad acting So he's not a perfect human being and there are times where it's not the director's fault. It's the actor's fault Yeah, no, I was more talking not about him specifically No, because he just straight up said if anything doesn't do well in a Shah Rakan film It had nothing to do with Shah Rakan. It was the director. That's not true But yeah, I mean his opinion is true, but the reality of that is There's no perfect. There's no perfect actor. There is none Daniels, he's not a perfect actor. What did he do bad nine? No, just because you didn't like the movie doesn't mean he did bad in it I liked the movie his performance was not good. I Disagree with that. I think the film was very below average for him You think he did a good job in nine. Yeah Yeah, I do. Well, you're not a big musical theater fan. So no, I'm not he did not do a good job in nine Then I think he himself would say that But Yeah, no, obviously, there's so many things obviously they can go wrong in film but the two most important are Definitely director and writer without question. I think writing might be the most important and then As long as the writing stays intact. That's true. Yeah Obviously, they're too like I don't think anything else is as important as those two Yeah, because I there's other stuff that can ruin a film bad acting can ruin and when you've got When you've got the big trifecta man when you've got the writing directing and acting all on target That's when the magic happens. That's when the magic happens, but you can more easily a Good director and good writing can elevate bad actors. Absolutely, but If you have a bad actor and good actors can elevate bad actors with them in scenes And good directors can elevate bad actors As well, so that that's some some can't yeah, yeah, and good directors can take actors I've never done anything before and like we've seen it many times in Indian cinema Yeah, and I think that's one of the reasons why so often Via when he said and you said you've heard this a lot where this where folks at Shah Rukh Khan is not an actor Or an emotion. He's an he's an emotion And I think that's one of the reasons why irrespective of his films the majority of them will do well at the box office because people just enjoy Being in a movie theater with Shah Rukh Khan on screen and all of the other aspects of it That have to do with artistry and different things of that nature They could they just happily will set that aside because they just love being in a theater or at home with Shah Rukh Khan on the screen I think a lot of times people don't even look for artistry. They just look for fun They just look for engagement with Shah Rukh Khan. Yeah, which is totally fine Certain films especially in Indian cinema like what they call mass films They're absolutely not meant to be looked at in the artistic. Sure. Sure almost ever. Yeah So I think that and that's a very specific thing mass And I'm talking about like looking for films for for escapism. That's that's that's normal. Yeah, but Indian specifically Their mass quality films is something I've not seen anywhere. No anywhere not at all No, and so that it's it's very unique to India and it is very unique for An actor any actor, but especially an actor of his stature It'd be strange. I guess that's his experience I would love to ask that of Shah Rukh Khan if we ever had the opportunity to talk to him of Are there ever moments where you have I can't imagine he hasn't had a moment If not more than one where he's had something he wants to question the director about I Can't imagine just everything is sir. Yes, sir Yes, ma'am. Yes. Yes, ma'am. I will do that. I'll definitely question it But he'll definitely do with the director wants and submit to the director and then be like sure Can we try it this way as well and make directors? Yeah, but I'd love to I'd love to I'd love to know well We'd love to talk to him.  We'll never interview Shah Rukh Khan as someone who has tried We will He marked my words is impossible. What will you give me when we do? What what are you willing to place bets on because I'll bet you will give you an interview with Shah Rukh Khan No, no, no, let's put some put what's your wager about whether or not the day will come that we do it What's the penalty you're willing to pay for your wrongness? I'm not It just won't happen.  It'd be easier if we were in India. I don't he's an international man comes LA all the time He's got a lot of vested interest in this city a Lot of vested as someone who has talked to people and tried to get interviews It would be easier if we were in India. I'm telling you that as a fact of court any Indian Celebrity be easier in India. You moron you just said it wasn't no you just said you just said no He's an international man after I just told you'd be easier if we were in India He he is of anybody that we would interview He would be the easiest to interview in person here You Disagree I disagree with the fact that you said easiest to interview Yes, he would have any Indian celebrity. He'd be the easiest to interview in person here. I think in terms of his Placement on earth as someone he's in LA all the time. I'd Manifest no it is not It's got to happen. You know what we'll do I'll just do a live with them on my Instagram And say he'll be you know, I'll be talking about it and I'll tell him You know Corbin said you're never coming on the channel, so I guess you're just not gonna be on the channel And I'll say yeah, it's a pity. Sorry Corbin. I would have come on, but you said it would never happen Okay, anyways, let us know what other videos we can react to down below
