Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime. This is gonna be a little bit of a quick video. I've done updates like this before. You've seen in the title. We're talking about sales that are happening to micro SD cards that you might want to buy for your Nintendo Switch. Now is as good a time as ever to upgrade, especially if you're willing to purchase off Amazon. They are having their Prime Day sales. Now these sales are exclusive for Amazon Prime members, but as always, I will note that Amazon does hand out free 30-day Amazon Prime sales, so you don't even have to spend any money on an Amazon Prime account to actually take advantage of these deals. Obviously, you can also get free accounts if you happen to be a college student and other methods as well that you'll find out when you sign up.  Finally, we have, you know, the 512 is actually in an affordable range, I would argue. Even the one terabyte has come down. Not that you're interested in that, but I'll show it to you guys anyways. So let's just show you what the deals are and I'll have links to each one of the cards that you might be interested down in the description with prices. These prices should be holding for the next 30 plus hours or so, and then they'll shoot back up to their regular prices. But I'll give you an idea what the regular prices are because even the regular prices are slashed from the original. So let's just take a look. So as you'll see here, the 400 gigabyte is the one I have highlighted because that is actually the one I'm considering purchasing for myself. It is on sale right now for $44.99, which is the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon. What's crazy is like a year ago, it was almost double that price on Prime Day. So isn't it nuts to see a year later that micro SD card has actually come down that low for the next 39 hours or so as it says over here. The 512, this one is cool because this one is usually retailing at $150. It says their price $149.99. It is retailing for under $100. So that is really really cool. It's really retailing right at $100, to be honest. But that is definitely affordable. So if you're at someone with 400 and you're looking to upgrade to 512, because the next step open 512 is a terabyte. And yes, the terabyte is on sale. It is not displayed here, but the one terabyte micro SD card is actually running $340, which is like a hundred and fifty bucks off or something. So I'll put a link to the one terabyte one down in the description if anyone wants to buy it. I still think $340 is a bit much more than a bit much. It's more than a new switch to get it. But it does exist. So we've got the 512 at $99. We've got the $440 at $499. Next up is the $256. This is a very popular range to get for your switch. If you use a combination of digital and physical purchases, I find that the $256 is actually a nice range to get you by for multiple years. That's currently what was in my switch before I gave that micro SD card to my son for his switch. So that's why I'm actually looking into buying a micro SD card myself and I'm leaning towards a 400 gigabyte just because I know I had too many digital purchases, too many triple-a digital purchases that were filling up the $256. So I need to upgrade to that $400. And if for some reason that's not your cup of tea, you could get the $200 for $3199. But again, that's not really a prime day sale. That's why the $201 you see here is more expensive than the $256 because the $200 gigabyte one is actually not on sale for Amazon Prime Days. So the $256 on sale through Prime Days is coming down below the $200 gigabytes. Obviously, the sale that they have for Prime Days and the $128 is not that big. The $128 usually is around the $20 mark. So it is slightly cheaper. I don't know that's as big of a deal. If you just want a little minor upgrade $13, that's not on sale either for the $64. The $32 gig is $797. I would never suggest anyone gets a $16. The $16.32 are not sizes I would ever suggest anyone gets to switch to the lowest I would go is to the $64 gig. Just my personal opinion. Now these are all official supported by Amazon and Sandus. These are real micro SD cards. These are not the fake ones. So that's why the reviews are four and a half stars because this is legit stuff right here. Again, the one I suggest right now if you want the best bang for your buck is the 400 gigabyte one. However, it's hard to argue with $256 for $30. So there you guys go. It's out there. If you guys would like to upgrade if you find you have the 400 and you're running out of room and you want the 512. I mean, I don't know if 100 bucks is reasonable to you, but there you go. Now, obviously a year from now that price might be sliced in half, but maybe you don't have a year to wait for the 512. So anyways, you guys go down and purchase them. Nice quick short sweet video. I just wanted to let you guys know about more of these deals because I know storage is a big thing with Switch. All of us, even if you buy physically, are going to need external storage at some point. So since I need to purchase one for my Switch, why not share what I am looking at right now for my Prime deals with all of you guys? And again, personally, I'm going with this 400 gigabyte one for $44.99. Yeah, I think I'm actually buying it today. So all right. Thank you guys so much for tuning in and I'll catch all of you guys in the next video.


Jay Fidel here on ThinkTec, and it's a given Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock clock, and we are joined by Max Peas here. He's a researcher for E-prink, and he's normally in Washington, but today he's in Laurel and City, New York City, and Queens as a matter of fact. Welcome to the show, Max. Thank you, Jay. It's great to be here. Great to talk to you again. Yeah, well there's a lot of things going on, and we styled this. These are interesting times for energy, and I suppose we should talk first about it, about natural gas, because that's the American thing these days, isn't it? It's taking the country by storm, if not the world by storm. Certainly, natural gas is something that's on an uptick in terms of production here in the United States, in the continental United States. There's so much gas we can't use it ourselves, so we're trying to find as many export markets as possible. That includes Mexico, potentially Canada, and also the expansion of liquefied natural gas exports out of the US Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast here in the United States. So you're seeing huge projects develop. Some have already been commissioned in Texas, and also Atlanta and Maryland. Challenges are that are taking place because of the trade wars, especially with China and India, is finding customers, new customers for all of these natural gas exports. But thankfully that means there's abundant supplies here in New York, along the East Coast, as we're enduring this early freeze. We've got plenty of heat, so come on in. Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that. So in New York right now, there's a frost happening. It's only really November, and it's colder and expected to be colder still by reason of the, I guess, the cold coming down from the Arctic, which is part of climate change. And in New York right now, it's cold. And the question I put to you, Max, is, well, if it's cold, then people need more heat. And if people need more heat, they need more fuel. So what does it look like for the Northeast when it gets really cold this winter? Thankfully for in existing installations, there's no dearth of natural gas supplies, no dearth of heating oil supplies. As we were discussing before we got on the air, what's interesting is that the New York state is going the way of California. You have a considerable amount of environmentalists, NIMBYs that are becoming increasingly vocal and having the ear of key authorities within the state of New York. And again, referencing our discussion before we got on the air, what that has led to is they've prevented the expansion of new natural gas supplies into coming into Long Island, the lower part of the state of New York, and also new natural gas supplies into the county just north of New York City. And given all that, that's prevented the local operators, the Consolidated Edison and National Grid are the two local operators that deliver natural gas into residences and commercial establishments. They have said, if we can't get new pipelines into the region, we can't provide new hookups to new developments, any new residences, any new businesses, either in Long Island or in New York City, so why can't they get the pipelines in? Who's standing in the way? A variety of people. The wholesale gas coming into Long Island, the company that's building that is Williams, and they are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington. And that's a lot of work that's going on in the state of New York. They've been under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington. There have been certain, they've provisioned it, they've received appropriate permits from FERC, the Commission in Washington, but the environmentalists have caught the ear of the governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo. So he's put out orders saying that these pipelines will not get built. That in turn has caused the operators to approach any new business, any new business, say a pizza parlor or a barbecue joint, they will not provide natural gas for their commercial operations. So as ridiculous... You were telling me a story about one particular pizza restaurant. Can you tell us that story, what happened to them? Sure, absolutely. It's a barbecue joint. So it's right on the beach, right? On the beach in the Rockway section of Queens, one of the boroughs of New York City, they received all the permits for the construction of their restaurant. They put in gas ovens. They were ready to open up at the beginning of summer, but National Grid, the operator said, we're not going to deliver heat. I'm sorry, we're not going to deliver natural gas. We can't because the governor is providing us from giving us available supplies, giving us adequate supplies. So through give and take, all sorts of pronouncements, for three months this establishment wasn't open. So finally, the operators of the barbecue place put in electric ovens, downsized their menu and increased their prices so that they could be open still in time for the summer season. But of course, they have no natural gas, so they can't heat the premises for the winter. So we have a day like today. Anyway, the governor, all this made headlines, the governor heard about it, and he insisted that National Grid, the operator, provide hookups to this barbecue joint in the beach section of Rockway, which they did. And so thankfully, you and I, Jane, on your next trip to New York, we can go out to this barbecue joint and stay warm through a winter day, a cold winter day like we're having here in early November. I'll hold you to that, Max. Please. Okay, so the thing with natural gas, at least in the East Coast, on the mainland, is that there's talk about a tax. How does that work? How is that affecting, you know, the development of the resource and the supply? Well, we at Appering also are concerned about LNG exports, and so the key source for natural gas close to New York State is what's known as the Marcellus Utica formation on the western side of Pennsylvania, eastern side of Ohio, and most of West Virginia. That's about 400 miles from where I am right now. So there's ample supplies there, but because you can't get a pipeline across the state of Pennsylvania, a new pipeline across the state of Pennsylvania into this particular region. You have plenty of gas going into Texas for, into the US Gulf Coast, at very cheap prices. So the Japanese and other constituencies in the Pacific are happy to receive our low priced, liquefied natural gas exports. So it's that sort of thing. You know, I just, to sort of continue the story, I, you know, it's not just here in the state of New York. There are interesting stories like this also happening in California, and I don't know if you've heard about this, but given all the environmental requirements the state of California has put on its constituents, one of them is to diminish the use of natural gas, to cut off new natural gas hookups. So you're having the notorious cases in Berkeley, but what's really interesting is that you have Chinese restaurants established in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles. They have gone to Sacramento protesting the fact that they will not have natural gas in their particular restaurants. So just imagine trying to run a walk using electric power in place of natural gas. You can't cycle it as quickly as you do. You can't. So it just, it's not just New York state. We also have this happening in California.  Well, common denominator is restaurants. So far yet. Go ahead. Okay. And the story gets better here. So, you know, just, just when you thought, well, okay, only the strange things, only strange things are going to happen on the coast in the coastal parts of the continental United States. We at AppRink where we're talking to some of the pipeline operators and we said, well, but, you know, given all of these things that are happening on the coast, certainly you in Texas must be okay. Everything must be okay for you. They said, you know, well, we have problems also. And they use the expression where the far right meets the far left. That's what's happening in Texas. So you have ranchers that want to protect grazing rights. And you have environmentalists that want to stand in the way of every new pipeline construction. The two least likely alliances are suddenly joining forces and preventing, I wouldn't say preventing, but they're impeding. They're providing resistance to new natural gas developments exactly where you have this, one of the places where you have this bounty of new natural gas production. So it's, so laugh some more. Well, how is it, how is it playing out? I mean, they must be, they must be contending their positions before government and government in the courts. How are they looking it out? I don't know the details of Texas. I know in California the constituents, the Chinese restaurant constituents went all the way up to Sacramento and said, yeah, the state capital and protested. In New York state you have, you're going to have hearings on Thursday in Albany, the state's capital. So it's an ongoing process. I mean, interestingly, even the blue collar newspaper in the city of New York, the Daily News, has come out and said, listen people, you really shouldn't stand in the way of these pipelines. This is to your benefit, it's not a detriment. So those are the kinds of situations that are in play. Well, if you stop the pipelines, how do you affect the price to the consumer? Does that mean people have to pay more for fuel and heating and whatnot? Absolutely, right. So this, for lack of a better term, it sticks it to the residences and the commercial businesses. At some point, the various local operators, Consolidated Edison, National Grid, are going to have to charge more for energy prices, because once you create that kind of shortage, you have to rationalize the remaining supply. So either Consolidated Edison or National Grid providing using gas for the generation of electrical energy? I would think so. I'm not wholly certain. I know in the case of Consolidated Edison, they have plants that are fired by natural gas. I would think also the same situation for National Grid. In part, this expanded pipeline from New Jersey across the bay into Long Island. That would be also gas for a major natural gas plant in Nassau County, which is right adjacent to the city of New York, right adjacent to Queens. So I mean, if that's the case, people can get plenty of electrical energy. But is the electrical energy more expensive than if you took it directly by gas? It becomes expensive. It's also problematic in terms of if you don't have a premise of residence or a commercial premise set up to use electricity to generate heat, then you're in a difficult situation. Not only would the price of existing energy become more expensive, but you also have to install appropriate components to utilize the available energy. Say, if it's electricity, then I can't think of the appropriate term, but just premises have to be reconfigured for using electricity. So back to our barbecue joint in Rockaway. So they had to install electric ovens in order to just stay in business. If they were going to go into winter without any natural gas hunk up, then yes, they would also have to install some kind of electric heaters to take if they weren't going to get natural gas into the premises. A footnote to that is that we have Hawaii gas and we have plenty of walks out here in Hawaii. So we have gas being available for those walks. A lot of people have gas in their homes. So when the Chinese restaurant shut down in Southern California, we're all coming flying out to Hawaii for the Chinese food. There you go. That's it. So in terms of, you know, I take it that the issue is that there are people out there for environmental reasons or possibly business reasons who oppose the pipelines. And that's kind of a new emerging development. You know, when we talked about this before, natural gas seemed to have, you know, all the momentum you would want and that people were generally in favor of it because it was a cheaper alternative. But now it sounds like we're in chapter two here and chapter two involves organizations, individuals, even businesses and certainly governments who respond to them who stand in the way of delivering natural gas around the country. So is this a national phenomenon right now? It seems to be picking up some pace. I named three states. Something like this is also taking place in New Jersey. It's mostly driven by environmentalist constituencies. No longer do they see natural gas as a bridge fuel. They see any sort of fossil fuel developments. Anything that provides continuous fossil fuel usage as they want to impede and stand in the way and favor renewables. So that seems to be the constituency that that is engaging in anti-natural gas activities. So even every pipeline becomes a fight.  And then I wonder what let's assume for just this discussion, Max, but it does gain traction that we have an upcoming generation who, you know, concerned about environmental issues and they don't want to see more pipelines. As a matter of fact, they'd like to shut pipelines down. What happens to our energy system in America if that happens, if that takes place? Oh, boy, you're asking me to predict what's going to happen in the future. Well, I think it's a dire situation because the amount of energy that you can deliver using these existing systems, pipelines, natural gas generation facilities, they work very efficiently. If you want to replace, say, a natural gas-fired unit with a reasonable scale, let's say one gigawatt generating capacity. The scale of a wind installation that you would need is a magnitude of 400 times larger than the site that you would need to site a natural gas plant. By that I mean say, let's assume this hypothetical natural gas plant that I'm describing sits on 200 acres or 100 acres. You would need 400 times that space to be able to site a wind farm to generate the same amount of electrical energy. For a solar generation, you would need 100 times that much of the original natural gas plant. And you don't have any of these kinds of things installed yet. And they're relatively costly and they're not efficient from the point of view of providing base load. Base load is just you want constant electricity available so that if you walk into a room and it's dark, you can turn on the light. Or you have heat generated, things like that. Solar doesn't work during the nighttime. You can't collect energy that way. And people haven't really begun discussing the size requirements, the siding requirements that you need in order to generate an equivalent amount of electricity from a wind farm that you can already generate from a natural gas plant. We have two wind farm sites that are under protest in Hawaii right now. And it's partly NIMBY, maybe other considerations too. But there's a lot of people who are opposed to that, these two wind farm sites. And part of it is that the modern technology on these turbines is they're taller and more heavyweight than in the past. And they're up to nearly 500 feet in height. And that bothers people who live nearby. They don't like to have the huge structure like that shadowing their property and their lives. So what I get is we have protests on all sides of this. Every time you look, there's a protest. And so our national will, if you will, our national desire to have clean energy or more efficient energy as the case may be, is really sort of in contention right now all around the country. People are protesting this, that, and the other thing. How do you see this unfolding? Because right now I think all the protests that are happening, both on the mainland and here, over various kinds of installations, they all, as you say, they all slow things down. Right. How does it get resolved? I, you know, again, it's difficult to say what the futures, how things are going to take place. One possibility is just more frequent discussions, more candid dialogue between the various constituencies that are involved. Recently, just, you brought up climate change before. You know, it's, if we're using a Venn diagram approach here, it's tangential to our discussion here about natural gas. But you have proponents of notions of climate change, and you have a scientific community that disputes the notion of carbon dioxide generated climate change. Isn't the scientific community nearly unanimous on the whole carbon dioxide issue and it's man-made and it's affecting the planet?  Okay, I saw that same item. I think there are respective constituencies that dispute those things. There are certain people at Princeton, at MIT, at the University of Colorado that don't embrace a catastrophic notion of climate change brought on by increasing volumes of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So the proposition, and they're not as outspoken as those scientists in that community that accepts the notion. So, but the proposition is let's get those two sides or however many other sides, but there might be people who say yes, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, but let's not expect catastrophic climate change. It's not going to be as severe as people say. Some of that weather lately is severe. Some of that weather is catastrophic. Look what happened in the Caribbean. Let's move on. You had some charts. I don't want to lose the benefit of that. Can you tell us about the graphics that you have? Well, there were just bullet points that I gave you. The first one covered the natural gas situation. There you go. That one right there. The other thing that I didn't discuss was the state of New Jersey. The mechanisms that are taking place there. So I described Texas where the far right meets the far left. In the state of New Jersey, if you want to thread place a natural gas pipeline across the state, an interstate pipeline, you apply to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington, and then with all the necessary documentation, which I think are the optimal routes. What people are finding out, the people who want to construct the pipelines is that once you've declared the land that you want to traverse, that creates an opportunity for the environment. So in state of New Jersey in particular, what's happening is that an organization funded by the former mayor of the city of New York, Michael Bloomberg, Bloomberg New Energy Finance. We haven't heard that name recently. I know. It was somewhere out there, you know, presidential candidate, something like that. But some organizations funded by him go out and they buy up all the deeds, where some of the deeds along the right-of-way, and they donate them to the state of New Jersey. And right there you have an impediment that prolongs the situation for acquiring eminent domain over this land and building the pipeline. That jeopardize all the different constituencies, the investors, the people who raise capital, the operators, the construction organizations, their laborers. And that's relevant to that last slide that you showed. One thing that comes to mind, Max, is that it seems like so much of this controversy, even according to your graphic, is on a local statewide basis, local basis and local issues that are different from the next state and so forth. And this is a hard question, but is the federal government doing enough to make these rules consistent, to show leadership on clean energy or energy in general? Can the federal government sort of settle all this down one way or the other and move us into more cleaner and more efficient energy over time? Is the government doing enough or is it not doing enough? Well, I think it just varies by which administration is in power. So, I mean, the Obama administration, the phrase that was always thrown around was, all of the above and none of the below. So, all of the above wins solar, renewable energy, none of the below, no fossil fuel. And I have to say the EPA was very aggressive under the leadership of Gina McCarthy, Obama's last EPA administrator, the former subordinates Janet McCabe at the Office of Transportation Air Quality. The people who are in place now in the Trump administration are not taking it as an aggressive position. In fact, they've relaxed the rules. So, from the administrative side, you have a considerable amount of variability, but then you also have an incredible amount of litigating. Yes, the federal government can set nationwide policies, but once you bring it in within the state, then other things begin to happen. And the point that I made about Texas, Texas is a big surprise. Yeah, you would think that the constituencies in Texas would understand the value of natural gas production, its value as it would be distributed across the United States, especially in the cold weather that we're having now. It affects the economy of Texas, and will continue to affect the economy of Texas for years to come. So, you think they have an economic interest there? Oh, absolutely, yes, absolutely. Well, what about California? We only have a minute left, but there was an issue about emissions standards in California. Can you talk about that? I don't know if I can be brief, but I'll try. Moving from natural gas to transportation fuels, gasoline in particular, diesel to some degree also. California was provided with waiver authority because it had severe pollution problems in 1975 when the Clean Air Act was enacted. It used that, the reason it was provided waiver authority is so that it could be more aggressive than the national standard. It couldn't be as aggressive as California wanted. So, California feels that it still has jurisdiction over greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are a global problem. You can solve them by California policies. So, that has become a point of contention. The Trump administration wants to remit, I don't know the exact legal term, take away California's waiver authority, especially as it relates to greenhouse gases. That in turn has moved on into issues relating to automobiles. So, the automobiles are in play because the Obama administration put together a new set of emissions standards in 2012, but they left the most aggressive component when the Obama administration would not be in office. That was for 2021 through 2025. Everybody knows those standards are not achievable. You have the technology, but commercially, people aren't going to buy those motor vehicles. So, there was a determination last August, August 2018. There was a congressional hearing in June, and then California decided to cut a deal with three automakers on its own. And now the Justice Department is suing the state of California and these three or four automakers that cut a deal with California on antitrust violations. So, I don't know if I went over my minute, but I tried to put it into that sort of a context, and it's a mess. Yeah, and then it's going to wind up in the Supreme Court, isn't it? There is a chance that it might wind up in the Supreme Court, depending on how it gets litigated and how things can't get settled and how they get appealed. Yeah. Well, the stakes are that if California and the auto dealers win, they'll be able to keep maintaining the high emission standards. If they lose, then they'll be forced to be consistent with the nationally other states, the national standards, and they'll be able to relax their emission standards. It's a strange influence of events, isn't it? It is. I mean, a judge can rule one or three ways. You mentioned two, but the third way is that the judge says, I don't like California standards. I don't like the new Trump administration standards. Just give me back Obama standards. California is basically admitted through its deal with these four automakers, and the automakers themselves know that the last leg of this three-pronged set of legislation that the Obama administration put in place, it's unattainable. It can't happen. It's just going to break things. So if the judge rules that way, who knows? And I don't know when that's going to come out. Well, who knows, Max? Maybe you'll get a call any day now from the judge, and he'll want you to come down and explain this to him. Sure. I'm more than happy to. In advance, let me just say that it's great to talk to you. Likewise. Thank you. I always appreciate our discussions, Max. I don't want to continue not only the first point we talked about to see how that evolves, but also the emission standards litigation and see how that evolves. Thank you so much. Absolutely. And your next trip, that barbecue joint in Rockaway and Queens. I'm ready. Okay. Thanks a lot. Thank you. We'll talk to you soon. Max Peirziura. Peirziura. And we'll talk to you soon. Aloha.


Well, hello my friends and welcome back to my channel. Wow, I'm like so used to doing things with my hands. Okay, this has been a highly requested video. I've had several messages about this, DMs, comments, if I will make a what I got for Christmas video. But here's the kicker. I don't really exchange gifts with a lot of people. So what I thought I would do is I would do basically a December haul of things I bought myself for Christmas because I know what I like. So without further ado, here's what I got myself for Christmas this year. All right, y'all, I am in the middle of editing this video. And I just realized that I didn't talk about my new vacuum. This is the shark professional navigator lift away. I'm going to link it down below like everything else. I love this thing. I've used it several times. I've actually cleared out the tank a few times. It's really dusty in there because of all the Doyle hair, but I absolutely love it. Got it on Amazon on I think Black Friday. And this has completely changed the game for me. And I love it. I love it so much. All right, let's go back to your regularly scheduled video. First thing is this sweatshirt. Hold on, I got to stand up a little bit. This is a sports shirt, y'all. It's ginormous. It's like a men's, but um, yeah. So I got this at the men's section at Target. And um, this is twins baseball by the way. And fun thing about this is I was walking by at Target and I'm like, I need that shirt in my life. It is like gray on gray on white on gray.  So I picked one up and I had to have it. Also a fun little fact at my company holiday party, I won twins tickets. So hopefully if the weather is a little bit chillier, I'll be able to wear this to the twins game that I get to go to. So anyway, I got that. Next up, speaking of really cozy things are some Sorrell boots. These are still a little bit wet. I just took the Doyle dog out a little while ago. Um, these are says caribou Sorrell waterproof and I really, really love them. The treads are amazing. He had their little wet right now. Um, if you guys actually followed my vlogging series that I like totally failed on, by the way, my vlogmas 2018, I think I had unboxed these in there, but um, they're really awesome. I absolutely love them. They're a little stiff to start out. Like the back of the heel is really, really stiff. So I had to kind of like finagle that a little bit, but my old boots were actually my mom's old boots. And I think they'd probably been used for the last more than decade. And the treads, like, see how they're nubby, the treads were completely smooth. So every time I took Doyle out to walk him, I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm gonna fall. I'm gonna fall. I'm gonna fall. And I was like, you know what, I just need new boots. So I invested the money and I got some new boots and I absolutely love them and they're super warm and they're awesome. And now hopefully I won't fall. Next up is a bra. And yes, I'm going to show a bra on the internet. So for years now, I've had the same bras.  And I have had these like two, I mean, I have more than two bras, but like, I had these two bras that I kind of like went back and forth with and they're like my daily bras. And I was constantly like fixing straps and there'd be like, there's videos of me like fixing my bra straps all the time. And I'm like, you know what, the straps are just like worn out and it's time for a new bra. So I have been seeing this company online and it's called Third Love. And this is the bra I got. I also got it in a black, which I am wearing today, which I'm not going to show you because it's on. But I have been loving the black one. I just got it a few weeks ago and it's like my favorite. I have not worn this one yet. I tried it on, but these straps are like really awesome. And I'm not sure, does this say like what it is? No, it just says the size.  They have like half sizes, like half cup sizes and stuff too, which I thought was kind of awesome. I just got the bra that I normally get and it fit perfectly. So yeah, but this is what I got. And I got a black one too because I was like, you know what, it's just time to upgrade. And then the other bras went somewhere else. Another thing that I got myself this year for a Christmas is this. This is the Halo Beauty Kiwi Seed Booster. I can't talk today. It is right here. I am a huge fan of Tati Westbrook here on YouTube. This will not focus for me, whatever. She is GlamLifeGuru here on YouTube and I just love her channel. I've been watching her for years and years and years. This is my second bottle of the Halo Beauty Kiwi Seed Booster. I am almost out of my first one. And I've had a lot of skin issues this month and I feel like as soon as I started taking that and like moisturizing and other things that really helped. So this one is just for skin. She does have another one that's like hair, skin and nails. But to be honest, my nails grow super fast and my hair goes really fast and my hair is super oily too. So I didn't really want any more of that production. So this is supposed to be just for skin and it helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles, supports collagen and keratin production and then supports clear and radiant complexion. You get 30 capsules in a bottle and it's, you know, good for a month. You just take one a day. And yeah, I've noticed a difference and I really like it. And I feel like my skin is a little bit better. And I think I'm going to keep going with these because who doesn't want clear skin, right guys? I got myself new socks.  Yeah, I had that moment this month and I'm like, you know what, I need new socks in my life. I got these on Amazon. I have no idea what brand they are. I'm going to link everything down below that I can find. But I knew I wanted just a plain white and gray sock and one that had like a kind of band right around here and then more comfort on the bottom of it and then a little like lip on the back. I knew that for sure. So I found these on Amazon and I got myself, I think two packages. So I think that there were like six in a pack. So I might have 12 total pairs. I can't remember, right? But like I said, I'll link them, but they're so nice and soft and I've been loving wearing them. These ones are brand new. I haven't even worn these specific ones yet, but they're all the same in the pack and I love them. And I think they came in black too, if I remember right. I think they came in black and then the gray like, you know, areas as well. I can't remember. I got the white, but something super satisfying about brand new socks guys. I don't know what it is. Oh, look, it matches. Everything matches because I'm super boring. And speaking of more boring things, I upgraded, I'm not upgraded, but replaced all of my tank tops like underneath stuff today. I'm actually wearing a t-shirt, but underneath a lot of the clothes that I wear, I always wear tank tops. And these are from, oh here, I'll show you this way, but these are from Target. They're from the a new day line and they're just the ribbed tanks. And I have the ones that were like the Massimo ones from years and years ago and they were looking really dingy and just were not looking cute anymore. Some of them had holes in them and I just kept wearing them because I'm like, oh, they're underneath clothes. Like it's no problem. But to be honest, it was just like, I would put them on every day and I'm like, I don't like these. So I decided to buy them. And when I did, there was a special on them. I can't remember what it was now, but it was like a couple bucks off each of them.  I got a few white and then I think I got two navy. And yeah, I really love them and they're super soft, really comfortable. And now I like what I wear underneath whatever other clothes I'm wearing. And last but not least, I got myself some jeans.  However, I wear jeans every day to work now. I was not anticipating that when I did my first initial shop at Nordstrom for the anniversary sale. So now that that's happened and I'm always wearing jeans every single day to work, my jeans are wearing out because I'm just wearing them so much. But I decided to go online. I went to Nordstrom.com just to see if there was any sales or any specials like around Black Friday or anything like that. And they really didn't have anything on what I was looking for. However, a couple of weeks back, they had a sale on some of their skinny jeans and cut from the cloth. And those are my favorite ones. And I don't know why they were on sale, but it was like, hey, sign me up. So I've actually had these specific cut and style before, but just not in this specific wash. So I got these, these are the Diana skinny. And these ones are kind of more of a mid dark tone. And I love that. I just love these jeans. They're just so incredibly comfortable. And they're like stretchy, which is like awesome. The only thing about the stretchiness is that the actual quality of jean wears out a little bit faster, but that's all right. Here is another Diana skinny. And these are like a really, really dark indigo wash. So yeah, I just, I love these. I think they're so cute. And I know I'll get a lot of wear out of these. And these even feel a little stretchier than the other ones. This is like a softer. This one to me is like a softer denim. And I don't know what, I don't know, doesn't tell me like what wash these are or anything that just says Diana skinny. I'm sorry, I wish I knew. Again, I'll link what I can down below. And then I got these ones, which are kind of more of a medium tone, also a Diana skinny. And yeah, so we've got the medium tone, really dark indigo. And then kind of the dark, mid dark one over here. So yes, I'm going to get a ton of use out of this stuff. And now I don't have to wear out all my jeans because I wear them every freaking day. So anyway, that is my December haul slash what I bought myself for Christmas. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, make sure to give it a thumbs up. Feel free to subscribe if you'd like to see more. Again, I am going to link everything that I can find down below. Feel free to let me know what you got for Christmas, or maybe what you bought yourself for Christmas. And I hope you guys are having a wonderful start to the new year. And I will talk to you all in the next video. Bye guys. Well, folks, it's time to kick it old school.


This was a couple of months ago, but fuck, it would be funny. So you're the police? Yeah. OK, so I will be Constable Stanley Morrison from the Fernie Grove police station. G'day, am I speaking with Jordan from here? Oh, yeah, I am. No worries, mate. I'm Constable Stanley Morrison from the Fernie Grove police station. Do you have a few minutes to talk? Oh, yeah. Yep. No worries. So we've just recently been handed in a complaint from the Sanford pub saying that there's someone been doing burnouts in the car park and they've just sent the CCTV footage in. And basically, yeah, we just ran the plates and it sort of your names come up. So we can do it a couple of ways. We can come and get a statement off in person or you can deliver one over the phone. But basically, Sanford just wants an explanation and an apology and they've said if you're not willing to do that, then they'll be looking to press charges. Yeah, OK. Well, I'm still working at the moment so I would be able to do one over the phone, but what was the other option? Could I come in and give one or...? Look, you can come in and give one, but just because we've been so sort of backed up with complaints and stuff like that, because of coronavirus, we're sort of pushing through these quite quickly. So you can quickly leave a statement now. It'll take you a couple of minutes or I can't guarantee that the Sanford pub won't press charges if I don't come back with an apology and explanation right now, just because it's taken so long and we need to move through all these complaints as quickly as possible. Yeah, go for it. Everything's being recorded at the entire conversation.  No worries, man.  And so the venue just sort of likes to set an example. But now that you've apologized, if however you do break the law again, they can and will use this confession against you, just letting you know. And also the owner of the pub has also said that they would like a nude photo sent of you. A nude photo? Yeah, it's one of the little side notes at the bottom here. I'm not sure why they've written that, but legally I have to say it.  All right, so if you could send those, I'll message you the mobile number. That would be, they'll be fully sick. Yep, no luck. This isn't actually the police. This is Marty and Michael from the Marty and Michael fully actual podcast.  And you've been done, brother.  That was very entertaining.  And keep doing burnouts, man. I don't care. It's just to get a dirt. Do them twice as aggressively now. Lose control. Oh, thank you for playing along. We love you and don't ever forget that we love you. No worries, mate. See you later.

At nine minutes past ten, time for Sears Radio Theatre. Tonight is a program of adventure with Howard Duff as your host. Here's a preview. I can cut up both two ribbons with a heavy machine gun. No. I want to get my hands on him alive. I have a score to settle. But what is he doing here? I can't believe it. He must know he never leaves here alive. Sears Radio Theatre will begin after this message from your local station. You cannot see it. It touches each and every one of us without exception. Young or old, families and most important fail ourselves. Learning to cope with tension is a never-ending process. One that begins at birth and continues to the end of life. One of the keys to happiness and good mental health in our time. This is Cliff Robertson, new of us, who wouldn't welcome solid advice from a good friend on how to deal more effectively with our... American expatriate. In simple terms, it met an American who had chosen for one reason or another to leave his native country. There were some famous ones who were destined for greatness, whatever their surroundings. The names Hemingway, Paul Robeson, Gertrude Stein come easily to mind. But there were many thousands of others who never made any kind of way in the world. They're still around. Those sometimes unfortunate Americans who won't or can't without any secure means of livelihood without what the bureaucrats today call documentation, which means they haven't got them on their computers yet. How do they manage to live? Believe me, it's not easy. Peter Brent is one of those faceless people. Age 27. Occupation expatriate. Some people might even call him a beach bum. He wants to get home from Burma so badly it hurts. But going home costs money. And so he's ready to lay his life on the line for a steak of a couple of thousand dollars. He's not a particularly brave man, but he is desperate. He knows he might have to dodge bullets to get that money.  And that's only the beginning of our story. We're in radio listening. Five nights of exceptional entertainment every week brought to you in Elliott Lewis' production of The Sears Radio Theater. Our story, a brief case of trouble by Alan Caillou.

We're in Burma. A republic of Southeast Asia. It's a beautiful country. Filled with very beautiful people. But the beauty is getting to be rather deceptive these days. There's a powerful guerrilla movement there now. And there's one thing you have to know about guerrillas. Don't ever tangle with them. Peter, the woman just came in at the bar. And she asked me, where can I find Peter Brain? What do you want to tell her, huh? Hey, that's a very nice looking addition to this, uh... this swinging little village. You know who she is? No, I never see her before. Well, tell her I'm here. What have I got to hide? Very funny, Peter. I like that one. There's Mr. Brent over in the corner, beautiful lady. All by himself. I'm real lonely. Well, we should do something about that, shouldn't we? It's a terrible thing, loneliness. Thank you, bartender. Well, no bartender, beautiful lady. I own this gym palace. Very good palace. Mr. Brent? Yes, I'm Peter Brent. What can I do for you, Miss, uh... Miss... Blair, Betty Blair, how do you do? Care to join me in a drink? Yes, thank you. Um, a vodka tonic. Assam. A vodka tonic and another beer. You're back, Peter.  I'd like to make a trip down to Pongoo tonight. Pongoo, Miss Blair, is not as scenic as it used to be. I know lots of far better places to visit. Well, I'm sure you do, but I want to go to Pongoo, Mr. Brent. Pity. That area, you see, is firmly in the hands of the guerrillas now. I don't make that run anymore. Oh, really? Well, now I heard you did. At night time, they tell me, running without lights. One vodka tonic, very strong. One beer. Thank you. Thanks, Assam. You must have been talking to some very interesting people, Miss Blair. Yes. I'm very interesting people myself. I noticed. But it just isn't safe down there anymore. I have $2,000 for you if you'll take me down the coast to Pongoo, escort me through the lines of your guerrilla friends, and bring me back again when I've done what I have to do. A couple of points. First of all, the guerrillas are not my friends.  Really? For the last three weeks, you've been delivering packages to them. Packages of currency. That makes them your friends. It means that you can move around there safely, something which very few other people can do. You're very well-informed, aren't you? Mm-hmm. I make it my business to be well-informed. Well, there's something you obviously don't know, and that is that the guerrillas don't have friends. They just have people who can be useful to them. Like you? Okay. A guy came to me a couple of times and said, take this package down to Colonel Salin. Here's $100. That's what I've been doing. And it doesn't make me anything more than a messenger boy trying to earn a buck. Now, what do you have to do down there? Oh, I just pick up a briefcase that got left behind there. By whom? By me. I was in the village of Pongu last night when the guerrillas attacked it. They beat down the door of the house I was staying in, and I jumped out of back window and ran down to the beach where I had a motorboat hidden. I got away by the skin of my teeth, but I lost everything, even my purse. I didn't mind too much about my passport or papers, money, because those can all be replaced. But I also had a briefcase filled with... Are we in business? I, uh... I really need that $2,000, Miss Blair. Well, it was a briefcase containing a lot of very compromising papers. And it's safely hidden just outside the village, but I must get it back. I'm very committed to my work, Mr. Brett. Committed? Very old-fashioned word. Perhaps. Last time I heard it was when they committed my Uncle Charlie. Uh, I think you'd better tell me what your work is. I'm an agent of the United States government, Mr. Brett. And that's all I can tell you.  Then let me appeal to your sense of patriotism. No. You'll cut more ice if you just keep saying over and over, $2,000, $2,000. It...it means a tick at home. Well, then? Hey, you said you'd lost all your money. I also said those things are easy to replace. I have a feeling I should get my head examined, but... Okay. My boat. Tonight. Nine o'clock. It's moored at the wharf. The only slope there. Yes, I know that. And I can't tell you how pleased I am that your inherent American sense of duty has come to my rescue. Just when I...I really need help. We might run into an awful lot of trouble, of course. Are you up to it? Oh, I've seen trouble before. Probably more than you'll ever see in your lifetime. Yes, I'm up to it. It might be all plain sailing, but then again, it might not. Can I get paid up front? I'll bring the money with me. Good. With $2,000, I can really live it up. And I'd like to remember the last couple of days of my life for as long as I live. Come summer with open arms in a sleeveless knit shirt from Sears. Tailored as can be with a pert little collar and pocket. But bare, bare, bare. Because each shirt's completely sleeveless. Cool on the go. And great for carefree sunning.

All items available at most larger Sears retail stores. Brad isn't really naive. It's just that he's broke and desperate and, well, perhaps understandably impressed by a very beautiful woman.  And he's not going to like it one bit that I'm not alone. Well, that's just too bad, isn't it? Tell him I'm your boss or something, huh? Mr. Brent? Are you there? You didn't tell me you'd have company. My boss. Peter Brent, Carl Richter. And I promise Mr. Brent that I won't get in your way. I was hoping I might inject a little romance into this escapade. Oh, well. And I don't want to sound like an unprincipled hireling, but did you bring the money? Yeah, here. Another of your little packages of currency. Only this time it is all yours. And we decided on a bonus of another thousand when the job is done. I'm getting to like you more and more, Mr. Richter. Largely because there's just no one else who can help us. We feel that the guerrillas might trust you. They don't trust anybody. But it means they won't be quite so quick on the trigger, perhaps? You know the man in charge down there? His name is Colonel Salin. No, no. Can we go right away? Sure. My engine seems to be in working order again. All we have to do is cast off and move out where I can run up some sail. Colonel Salin. He's a very rough man. If we run into him, and I hope we don't, he'll want to see what's in that briefcase before he lets you out with it, if he ever does. No, I can't allow that. Peter, we were hoping that we could pick it up without anyone knowing about it. But if we're found, what excuse do we have for being there? Have you thought about that? I was hoping too that you'd be able to find one. $2,000 ought to pay for more than just the hire of a boat. Okay, I'll figure something out. Time to hoist a little sail. There's a little problem been worrying me. You said they broke into your room. That means they know who you are. Oh, no. No, no, no. They don't even know I exist. They were looking for government soldiers. There were several of them in the village. Well, then you really didn't have to run, did you? I mean, crashing through the window in your baby doll pajamas. Or do you sleep in the raw like I do? There was a lot of shooting, and I was frightened. And I was not in my pajamas. I hadn't gone to bed yet. It was great to know that even you can be sensibly scared when you have to be. Okay, I can, uh, cut the motor now. You want to tell me what it was you were doing down there in the first place? I mean, Pongoo isn't exactly a tourist resort these days. Even for spies. I don't think you have to know about that. It has nothing to do... The United States government likes to keep an eye on these rebel movements, Mr. Brent. The assignment was merely to sound out to local people. I thought Congress had put a stop to all that kind of jazz. Well, I'm quite sure they believe that to be true. It allows them a sense of virtue. So it would be childish of us, wouldn't it? To dissolution them. Would you like to tell me the name of the outfit you belong to? Not really. And you sound very suspicious, Peter. There's no reason for it. I assure you. I just have this crazy feeling, a very persistent feeling that somehow just maybe I'm being suckered. Well, don't worry about it. It's in a very wealthy cause. Boat out there, Colonel, running with no light. He headed this way. Where? There, to the left. Isn't that Brent's boat? I believe it is. Well, long man's got more guts than I give him credit for. He's American. They're very rush people. He dares to come back after what he did? Why don't I turn a heavy machine gun on him? I can cut up both two ribbons with a heavy machine gun. No. I want to get my hands on him alive. I have a score to settle. But what is he doing here? I can't believe it. He must know he never leave here alive.  I'll tell you what he's doing here. His catagor lives in a hut a couple of miles down the beach. And that is where he is headed without a doubt. There I will pick him up. Okay, okay, Colonel. You want him all in one piece, of course. This message from your local station. Right. It's that book you sent away for. It's just a catalog from the Consumer Information Center. It lists more than 200 federal publications you can send for. On building, fixing, eating. Buying, selling, working, playing, living. And more than half of them are free. The man you married is gone. But would you make just one more mistake? I'll just replace that window glass like I used to. Whatever you do, learn to do it better. Send for your free catalog. Just write Consumer Catalog Pueblo, Colorado, 8109. Francine, send for their publication on first aid. What was that address? Pueblo, Colorado, 8109. Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, Guy de Moperson.

No. No, but it's very dark there. You wouldn't be scared, would you? No.  As scared as I am. The village is a little way down the beach, but I'm going to land right here. There's a creek where I can hide the boat. And there's a fisherman's hut there, a harmless old man. He's got a daughter. A very pretty little thing. Grandly? That's one way of putting it. I'm really very fond of her. Maybe I'll even marry her one day. How can she help us? I don't know, but it might well be there's not a gorilla within a couple of miles of us. She'll know about that. Okay, I'm taking us in. And you've got to get your feet wet. Close behind me, and no noise. Keep your eyes and ears open. That's the hut. Wait here. I'll be just a moment. Here you again. Are you alone? Just by father. Like always when you come, I send him to bed. Strong, I don't see you. Wait, the gorillas. Are there any of them around here? But gorillas. All day I don't see no gorillas. Yesterday, yes. They shoot up the village a little bit. But today, maybe they go away. I don't know. I don't care. Oh, that's great. I got two friends with me. Can we come in and talk for a while? You mean you don't come just to see me? There's a job I have to do, Fila. It won't take very long. After, we'll have some time together again. Maybe you'd even like to come back with me and spend two or three days on the boat? Oh, yes. I like so much. Ah, then it's a deal. I want you to be happy, Fila. Then I am with you. I'm very happy. Well, just stay for a while. Find out what's happening in the village. He's very pretty, it's a girl. Do you like? As a matter of fact, she's a pain in the neck. Is it all right, Peter? We got lucky. It seems there are no gorillas anywhere near us. This is my girl, Fila. Betty, Carl. Hi. Hello, Fila. We'll stay here for a very short while. Pick up the local news of the gorillas, do what we have to do, and then we get out of here as fast as we can. I don't want to stay. Oh, dear God. No gorillas anywhere near us, he says. Well, the matter, Brent, you don't like us no more? You know better than that, Abbo. I'm your friend. Oh, good. Very nice. Now, you and your friends come with us, huh? Colonel Saline wants to see you. Peter, they don't look very happy to see us. Don't worry. I have absolutely nothing to fear from Colonel Saline. He's a friend, too. He is, huh? Well, are you going to find out about that, Brent? A difference of opinion about whether our hero, Peter Branch, should consider Colonel Saline as a friend. And in the remote command of the Seacoast of Burma, the difference between friends and enemies is not unlike the difference between life and death. And with the mysterious Betty Blair and her friend Carl Richter, they're about to have a demonstration of that difference. I don't know your name, Captain, but you don't have to keep moving. Was it necessary to tie our hands like this, huh? We're not likely to run. Not in the face of half a dozen guns. His name is Abbo, Captain Abbo.  Stop, Colonel Saline. A laudable Colonel, but would you tell me what this is all about? You have a lot of embarrassing questions to answer, Brent. You'll answer them. Well, of course. I have nothing to hide. First of all, I want to know about that last delivery. I don't follow you. What about it? What was that for? Just to teach you, don't put the money. What do you mean? What happened to the money?  I handed it over to Captain Abbo here. The same as always. That means that he stole it, and I wouldn't put it past him. Do you mind if I get up? Do that. A few days ago, I handed Captain Abbo the package, just the same as I did five, no, six times before. The package of 10,000 counterfeits. Good counterfeit, my supplier is. How should I know? All I know is that once in a while this guy comes to me with a package and says, here's 100 bucks to deliver this to Colonel Saline. And that's what I do. I deliver a package. How should I know what's in it or even care? Outside of this 10,000 square miles of stinking jungle, nobody cares. Now, about you or your crummy revolution. My supplier is General Chin Tsu-hey of the Nationalist Armies of Indo-Mountains. He delivered the guns I had ordered. I paid him with the currency you brought me. And a few days later, he sent it all back to me with an escort of 400 of his troops. They took all those weapons back again. How can I fight a revolution without guns? Will you tell me that? It was sealed like always. I didn't open it. If someone cheated you, it was your finance man, not me. Of course. But you will have to explain that to General Chin Brentner to think what he will do to you. Now perhaps I can recover it. It's a very easy question to answer. Now, I don't know about that. Good for nothing, gentlemen. But Miss Blair hired my boat for $100 to come down here and cover something she lost. Which was? Her handbag. She's a tourist. And she got scared, understandably so, when your men took over the village last night. And she ran. Somewhere along the track, she dropped her handbag. That means she lost her passport, her credit cards, her driver's license, all that kind of stuff. You have to realize that an American abroad without all that documentation becomes a non-person. And we don't like that. So she figured it was worth $100 to come looking for it. Miss Blair, a tourist? We know her battle has very success.  And he has four less patients left and make them comfortable. X and around the trunk of a tree will secure them, I think. There are two General Chin first with me. As a token of my good will, one of them is a very beautiful young woman in whom he can kiss an un-entity just another throat. Do you know this General Chin? I know of him. 20, 25 years ago, the nationalist Chinese had an army out here. A very big army. When the Communists took over back home, they also stayed. Today, they're bent. They run the opium trade, the gun smuggling trade, the trade and smuggled rubies. Rubies? Oh, it's a big business out here, smuggling rubies. From Mogak, mostly up near Mandalay. Anything that moves illegally in this part of the world, it's under General Chin's protection. He's got 40 or 50,000 men now, all expatriates. He's got a nasty reputation. What will he do with us? Do you know? Well, I know what he'll do with you all right. With Carl, who knows? Yeah. And with me, I don't even want to think about it. And I don't like being referred to as an un-entity just so that I can have my throat cut. You cut us into this mess, Brent. Now, get us out of it. Richter, I got to tell you. You are a number one... Us hoards while we are tied. Don't move now. I got knife. I cut you free. Don't move. Leave to breathe again. You follow me now. We go to safe place, far from here. Very quiet. Fila did it. Thank you. We all thank you.  Oh, Fila. Two or three days. A lot more than that, if you want. You mean... you don't mean... Oh, yes. That's exactly what I mean. Yeah, well, let's give the old man a minute or two to run his course, and then we can... can we go and pick up my briefcase? Don't you think we pushed our luck far enough? Why don't we get ourselves down to the boat and get out of here while we can? Not unless you want to throw away that bonus. Oh, yes. The bonus. Okay. Let's see if we can push it just a little bit further. Words out and spread and fast about the genes from Sears Man Store that grow and beautify the sure side there, Fila.

Now which way? Well, uh, where's the village? South of us, just behind the headland there. Well, then we ought to move inland again. There's a track that runs east from the village and a couple of hundred yards from the first of the huts. There's an old ruined temple. Very, very small one. Not much more than a heap of stones left. Fila, you know it? I know it, yes. It's the pagoda of Tapegu. You know how to get to it without passing too close to the village? Oh, yes. We go through jungle. It's not too far, I think.  Not too far. Everybody know Vot is not too far. Well, let's rest up for a couple of minutes. My feet are killing me. Oh, gotta admit it. That's not a bad idea. Artillery, I'd say. Artillery? Yeah, four or five miles off by the sound of it. It's pretty well known that the government is getting ready for an offensive against the guerrillas. And I'd say that's what it is starting up now. Good. It'll keep Colonel Salin occupied for a while with more important matters. Yes, that's what it is. I like it. Don't drive the colonel down here to where we are. Not Salin. He'll go to meet it. He's a very impetuous man. It's gonna make it a lot easier for us. Peter, will you tell me something as among friends? Sure. Did you get Colonel Salin's $10,000? No, I didn't. I'll take a bet it was that shifty-eyed fellow Abbo pulled a switch on his boss. Yeah, he wouldn't be able to replace it. Where would he find counterfeit dollars? Now, I'll tell you what must have happened. Salin's revolution is being financed by China, mainland China. But Salin's getting his guns from the old Chinese Nationalist armies. Ah, the Communist must have found his certain ironic pleasure in passing counterfeit currency to their old enemies. And if you ask me, it's a shame that General Qin found out so quickly. Let's be on our way. The Pagoda of Tapagoo is beautiful, no? My father tell me it come from time of King Anaruda. He's more than 900 years ago. They call it Dynasty of Temple Builders. That's the one. In here. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's behind this stone. There's the briefcase. All right, let's get back to the boat. Wait. Betty, I'd like to see what's inside it. Paper sprint, compromising papers as we told you. I got this crazy feeling again that everything isn't quite as it should be. Well, it's really none of your business, Mr. Bryant. Betty lost everything, she said, even her purse, so I'm not going to ask her. But do you have some sort of card, like they always show in the movies, a card that says you really are an agent of the United States government? And what makes you think that I might be anything other than what I say I am? Nothing I can put my finger on. Just a feeling. Maybe it's because I really don't like you too much. Well, you must be aware that bureaucrats don't strive too hard for public approbation, Mr. Bryant. I still want to see what's in that briefcase. As you were told, Betty spent some time here sounding out local opinion. There are names there. Lists of people who favor, who do not favor, the change in government, that colonel, Saline is trying to effect. I regard that as privileged information, if they ought to fall into the wrong hands. No way can I be regarded as the wrong hands. I'm fast losing my patience, Mr. Bryant. I'm getting a bit uptight myself, Mr. Richter. Oh, in Heaven's name, man. Peter, it's documents and nothing else. You have my word for it. Then show me. No.  No, it's a matter of principle. Peter, if you don't want to believe that it's merely papers, tell me what your fertile imagination is dreaming up. I know damn well what's in your briefcase. Little packages of white powder wrapped in plastic. This area's prime industry, heroin.   Come on. Let's get back to the boat and go home. This nonsense has gone far enough. Not until I look into that briefcase. If I'm wrong, I'm going to apologize like you won't believe. But if I'm right, that stuff gets thrown all over the jungle floor. And let the ants go crazy. Believe me, I'm not a knight in shining armor and a white horse. I'm not even a moral sort of guy.  That kind of alters things, doesn't it? Yes, Peter. It's a gun. It's fortunate, isn't it, that they didn't search me back there. I always like to carry a little pistol in the top of my boot. The girl never knows when she might need it. Don't move, Peter. I know how to use it.  Kill him. Kill both of them. No, I like him. He's kind of cute. He can't do us any harm. Can you handle the boat? Well, of course I can. Betty! You just lie there, Carl, Richter. You move an inch. I'm going to put a 22 slug right between your eyes. You too, Betty. I'm kind of nervous now. I'm not really responsible for my actions. So just lie still and feel it. Oh, thank you for that very imaginative diversion. I have to say it. It saved the day. I am very bright sometimes, Peter. Peter, friend, if I live to be a hundred, I'll get you for this. Yes, Vila. Open up that briefcase for me, will you? Okay. Papers. Papers. More papers. More... What is it? Rubies. Rubies, Peter. Just look at them. Rubies. I should have guessed. Four, seven, then 12, 16, 19, 23, 27, Peter. You are a very rich man. 27. Show me a handful. Careful now. Look. It is beautiful. Pigeons, blood rubies. The best there are. But I wouldn't expect these people to smuggle anything but the best. And it's not I'm a very rich man, Vila. We're very rich. Oh, Peter. And the problem now is, what do we do with these two? You want to shoot them? Is okay with me? No, no, no, no. Yeah, maybe we shouldn't do that. Fine. It's because she is pretty. I am more pretty. Oh, Vila. I see nothing ahead for us but a life of confrontation. Well, maybe it'll be worth it. As a matter of fact, I'm convinced it'll be worth it. Betty, Carl, what you do now is you start walking. You find a boat in the village when it gets light. It'll take you to where you want to go. And Betty, if we should ever meet again, try to be friendly, would you? It might just be great. And my rubies, Brent? Your rubies? You mean my rubies, I think. Forget them, Carl. They disappeared. Come on, Vila. Let's you and me find out what lies beyond that blue horizon. I'm in Alaska, in Texas, in Maine. Wherever the territory's tough, the kids wear Sears' tough skins.

I'm Kirk Douglas and in my work as an American Cancer Society volunteer, I've learned that we're saving cancer patients who were lost only a few years ago. These additional lives have been saved because of advances in research. And it's particularly gratifying to know that some of our greatest strides are being made against the kinds of cancer that strike children and young adults. This is not to say that we're close to conquering cancer. But we do have the knowledge to save one out of two cancer patients if the disease is detected and treated in time. And each year we're able to save more and more patients. As one leading scientist said, I believe there's an end to the road and I'm confident that we're going to get there. Help us get there. Please give generously when your American Cancer Society volunteer calls. American Cancer Society. Blanche and Tony. I'm a pastor whipped cream. I will not. Blanche, I love whipped cream. Do you love me? Of course I do. More than whipped cream? Tony, you're overweight as it is. Now, Thelma... Thelma. Thelma is doing volunteer work for the American Heart Association. And she was telling me... A lot knowing Thelma. Tony, I'm serious. A fatty diet is no good for your heart. I don't want you having a heart attack. But, honey... Tony, you could use a lot less, honey. You've been living on sugar alone. Now, we're going to get the American Heart Association's cookbook and make our diets heart-healthy so we can be together for a long time. Oh, Blanche, you're sweet. Sweet? Yeah, I know. Contact your American Heart Association for information about a heart-healthy diet. We're fighting for your life.
