How many of you guys don't get to see your family enough? Raise your hand. Yeah, it's you. Here's the deal. Guess what? You're never going to see them. Kiss them goodbye until you build a sales team. Hey guys, what's up, man? How you guys feeling today? Listen, so here's my goal. Everybody remember this. It's 1104. I'm going to be done at 1114. Is that cool? You guys are busy, so I'm going to give it. Listen, if you can't pay attention for 10 minutes, you're going to lose your life. And you say, Andy, why would I? Well, number one, let's start out the meeting for the first 30 seconds. My wife came to me when I was killing it. I was making 2.5 million as a GM. Okay, I took a store from selling 100 a month to 500. She says, Andy, I've learned to live without you. I've learned to live without you.  How many of you guys don't get to see your family enough? Raise your hand. Yeah, it's you. Here's the deal. Guess what? You're never going to see them. Kiss them goodbye until you build a sales team. I'm going to ask one question. Is your team better than you? They should be. Your team should be better than you. If you were any sort of leader, your team would be better than you. But you guys run around like you're the best thing in the world. You're hot. You close every deal. Well, good job. You never get to leave now.  You guys will listen to me for a minute, OK? Your team, it's called human capital. Write it down. Two words, human capital. That's what you guys have to work with, OK? You guys get the ability to take underdogs, to take whoever it is that you have on your floor that you believe is going to make a great sales pro man or woman. Man or woman, it doesn't matter.  And if you're a great leader, you'll do that. But listen, it won't happen unless it's the most important thing to you. OK, so let's talk about priorities real quick. Priority number one, building your sales team is your number one priority in life. That's it. Not having more people, but having great people. And by the way, who gets to set the standard for those people you do? I'm going to ask you a question. Your attitude, your work ethic, the way that you do everything, your habits, OK? Is that the standard you're setting for them? Are you the example? Would you say I am the example that I would like for all my guys to follow? Because I think some of you guys are maybe some examples. And you may not like to hear that. The first place to start is going and looking in the damn mirror. You want to see how great you can become? Go own your. Hey, you know what? I need to quit doing this. You know what? I need to when I get to work and set it going and sitting down on my desk. I need to go shake everybody's hand in the store and tell them how much I appreciate it. Love you guys. I'm glad you're here. It means everything to me that we've got this team together. By the way, let's have a meeting together, guys. Let's go. Look, guys, I'm going to tell you this right now. We are going to the top. We're going to do it together. I am by your side.  I'm not behind you. As a leader, we lead 360 front, back, sides. Everything we do, they're watching. Don't forget that. Most of the time, one of the reasons why you miss your great life is because, dude, you weren't the example for them. Now, listen to me. I've created a sales training program. I'm not just here to teach you guys how to close the deal. What I want to teach them is how to be better people. I want to teach them how to be more loyal to you. Guys, I want you to have an unrecruitable sales team. Unrecruitable. Like somebody could call them and be like, dude, I'll give you 10 grand more to come across street work for me.  That's what I want. That's all I want. Okay. And by the way, I'm going to say something to you.  You created this problem. You did it. You know what you should be telling them every day? I don't care how much money I make. I want to work around people that believe what I believe and I believe what they believe, and I want to work around people that are like me. Look, you guys could be anywhere in the world right now. Doesn't it feel good to know you're in the right place? Somebody that loves you, cares about your family, and wants to make sure that you have a great life? Yes. And by the way, if we make a bunch of money, that's just a bonus, isn't it? See, you guys talk about money forever. When somebody offers a little more money, you're the one that trained them to go get it. You're training your guys to be recruitable. Knock it off. I'm going to finish with one last thing, because I said I'd be done, right? I'm going to move quick. I don't want to give you so much. You can't **** remember what I said. I'm going to finish with one last thing. If I, by the way, listen to me, this is where a leader really is a real leader.  And I said, hey guys, look, as the leadership, we would like to know who are your mentors. Who do you look up to? See, because we want to go look them up tonight, we'd like to study who you want to be like. So here's a pen, here's a piece of paper, write down, don't have to put your name on it, but write down the name of your mentor on this piece of paper. Fold it in half and hand it to me as you walk out the door. So they all leave, right? We put these pieces of paper in the middle of the room and we unfold them. And what we realized is our f***ing name isn't on any of those f***ing pieces of paper. You know why? Because they don't want to be like us. They don't look up to us.  Dude, I'm telling you, no ways. We can change this today. How do we change it? Number one, an individual can be beat, but a team can't be beat. Listen to me.  Three stores, one store. You got to operate, run as one mission, one team.   Okay? You know why I'm yelling at you guys?  I'm not telling you you're not great.    They'll be unrecruitable. And then when you say, Hey guys, let's self-improve and train. You know what? They'll do whatever you say because they trust you. So what do we do right now? Number one, we've got to be different than any other company in any other store. My goal is to make your team so great to make your competition look like amateurs. So what do we need to do? We got to lead from the top. Number one, everybody right now are we the example we need to be? And if you're not, do me a favor. Go look in the mirror, figure out what it is that is the hole in your game, the hole in yourself, and fix it. I would rather kick my own a** than have someone else come kick my a**. My goal is to know my business better than anybody else. You guys know how to retail cars, but you know how to run a sales team better than anybody else in the world. And I want to tell you, if you don't make the decision, everybody do me a favor. Just say this, say make the decision. Make the decision. Make the a** decision. Are you going to go and become the person you were supposed to be and make the decision to go out there and make that sales team the number one priority? Or are you going to stay the same? Whatever you do, just make a decision. I made my decision. As my company has grown through the roof, I made a decision. I'm a**ing go broke with these guys, but they're staying with me.  We make it together and we take over the world cool, okay? But I just want to be around the right people. Well, you guys decide instead to set the standard for what the right people look like, okay?  Why are you tolerating that s**t? Get rid of them, man.  Get rid of them. You guys are great trainers, man. You guys can take anybody on the street and go teach himself 12, 15 cars. Am I right? Okay, man, what are we doing? Well, listen, if you guys will believe in me, and I mean it, I'm not asking to be your mentor, but you'll believe in me and say, you know what, Andy, you're right.  If you don't do it, okay, I'm going to teach you a rule real quick and we're at 11.13, so I said we finished at 11.14. Your team will only work half as hard as you do. Your team will only train half as hard as you do. Half. Which means if you want them on two training modules a day, you'll need to do four. You wanted to train 10, okay? You know how it goes. Just understand this. There's a term we use in our business and it's called total recreation. Some of you guys are ready to go back and retail cars right now. You'll never have another life. You'll never have a different life. You'll never scale, going vertical.  Our company will make 100 million this year. I set your chairs, okay? Listen to me. You guys are capable of anything, okay? And by the way, you want to see the big money come in? Build the team. Build the team. You don't need to go recruit the best in the country. You be the best and you will make people and build them to be bad guys. Listen, this is a leadership call. So recreate change. Make the decision to be the best. I know you guys are busy. I know it's midday down there, okay? I think we got this recorded, am I right? Yes. I'll send it to you. I know some of you are half listening right now because you've got **** going on, okay? I'll send it to the group. Listen to it later.  If you remember, I told you this. My wife said I've learned to live without you.  I went back to the store. I trained my team. Okay, then I started going home for dinner. I'm going to tell you something, all right? Most people think they can't have it all. That's a lie. You can have it all, but you will need a team to get it all. Some of you guys right now are the best salespeople I've ever seen in my life. You can, matter of fact, be a sales trainer if you wanted to. But you know what? You haven't built a team yet.  And test how great you are by how fast your team can really scale and grow. And if that's your test, if that's the way you test yourself, you'll look up in six months on the best team in the country, okay? So, love you guys. Go kick the a**. Thank you, man. We don't need to have meetings for hours. That was short. That was sweet. We'll get together. We'll have another one. You guys can ask questions, whatever you need. I know it's midday. So I'll send this recording over to you guys. Chew on this a** for the next 24 hours. Recreate and change. But guess what, man? Be the leader that you wish you had when you saw home. Okay? Love you guys. See ya.  See you guys soon. Well, you made it till the end of the video.  I've already got your next training video lined up and ready to go. Click on it before you do that.

one chamber one thousand here and we're back with another stir-fry ramen to try out from boldac artificially spicy chicken flavor this one is cheese okay so there's what it looks like and we're just going to go ahead and get into getting this cooked up see the nutrition facts on here while you guys like to read that so I'm gonna get that up there for you okay if you want to pause it you can read it okay this one is similar to the other ones just put noodles into 20 ounces of boiling water and cook for five minutes okay so 20 ounces is that 20 ounces is two and a half cups okay so then after that you remove the water except for eight tablespoons and put liquid sauce into noodles and stir fry for 30 seconds put cheese powder put cheese powder and stir well and serve so that's what we're going to do I've done it a couple times in the past of stir frying and so I'm not I'm gonna show you that I'm just going to go ahead boil this up and get it ready and I'll show you what it looks like when we're done okay guys so we got to stir fry it up like I said I just boiled it for five minutes and I put the red sauce in with the it turned it out to be the eight tablespoons turns out to be right around two ounces quarter cup right in there and I took a mile of boiling water and then I put the water in the sauce in and stir fry it now we're going to add the powder which is this must be some kind of cheese sauce powder that's some spices in it herbs in it so I'm guessing without the I'm guessing with the red sauce is what really gives it the the the super spice and the heat I am guessing that if you just did without that you could probably just use the sauce or this the cheese powder in it and probably be something similar to a macaroni and cheese type dish but feeling festive today guys so get the stirred up I know I'm getting some around the rim I know I'm not Gordon Ramsay you know I used to watch Gordon Ramsay a lot until I got to thinking man the more I watched him like you know when he'd go in try to save the restaurants and stuff well like he would get called to you know these little pubs okay I'll turn you get you up here now so he would get called it like these pubs and we all know a pub is just a bar that serves some food his whole thing about restaurant food is fine dining he'd go into a pub and each on these new recipes and like you know here's the curry it was always curry curry curry what do you need curry in a bar for you know what I mean and and you know the cheeseburgers wouldn't write you got to do this and that and make him look all fancy and plate it up on it it's a pub okay it's a pub Ramsey it's a bar people don't care what the food look like they really don't care what it tastes like you know I mean it's where he remember he'd go to them soul food restaurants he tried to make everything fine dining soul food restaurants not fine dining you know and it just you know the guy wasn't perfect by any means okay let's give this a shot you know I mean I'm a great mechanic but I do know somebody work but like I would never be able to open my own shop so it would be like me as a mechanic trying to guide a body shop on how to do things and what to do it's totally different you know I mean so is he so is a culinary arts I mean you know you got your fine dining you got your fast food you got your pubs it's all different you know what I mean you don't want to go into a pub or soul food restaurant and try to teach him about fine dining you know it just doesn't make sense to me but anyway my little rant so feeling festive alright let's give this a shot okay this is actually this one is more heat than spice it says spicy but this is hot it tastes similar to the other ones but it's a lot hotter than the other ones were a lot hotter but they can taste the cheese flavor it's very good the texture again on all these the textures been fine yeah way spicy I'm gonna give it a five on the spicy I'm gonna give it a four and a half on the flavor two thumbs up but all together flavoring everything put together you know let's just give it a four and a half I really like it it is a lot hotter than and what it should be for being in the yellow pack I mean that red stuff yeah like I said I think it's the same sauce that comes in some of the other ones but it just tastes really really spicy today I do like it if you like spice you will love this I do like this one so far I like them all my favorite I'm not sure if it be this one or the last one I think it might have been the last one we still have one more to do my water so I'm gonna do that with monkey probably tomorrow so maybe tomorrow evening so hopefully you guys are enjoying the live stream of the lights we'll have him again tonight which is Wednesday yeah we'll have him again tomorrow and Christmas Eve so Christmas Eve we're just we're gonna let him run all night long so that should be fun I think monkeys want to camp out so that'd be kind of cool to set up the 10 out there and I don't know we'll see all right guys thanks for watching like said two thumbs up I'll give it a four and a half overall out of five so yeah very very spicy if you don't like heat or spice this is not for you but if you absolutely love it this is absolutely for you okay all right guys so hopefully everyone has a Merry Christmas and tune in for more videos so we'll see you guys in the next one shea better than myth man legend gone for now bye bye guys and take care


Live from Nassau in the Bahamas, it's theCUBE covering Polygon 18, brought to you by Polymath. Hey, welcome back, everyone. This is theCUBE exclusive coverage at Polygon 18 put on by Grid Capital and Polymath. Of course theCUBE is independent in publishing digital TV and research. Of course, we're covering all the action this year in the crypto space, blockchain, cryptocurrency, token economics, big news here with Polymath announcing a partnership with Trevor Kovirkyos, the CEO of Polymath and Amir Kaltec, CEO of Legzit. You guys just came off stage and announced the partnership. Yeah. Your ecosystem is growing.  Talk about the relationship. Please, all right. So a while ago, we just realized that what Trevor and his team are doing is just fitting right in what we do. Like we, the marketplace for M&A, helping to liquidize assets. And a security token, I mean, in its purest form, is an asset, right? So we want to help, we want to work together and create an ecosystem in the future in between Polymath and Legzit. That's basically the thing what we want to figure out and how to do it. Yeah, I know we're big fans of the project and more importantly, the team behind the project. That's always what I look for when it comes to any investment or purchase or partnership and we're really excited. This is really a great sign for you guys. Congratulations, Polymath and Legzit. You guys are growing companies. This is the magic of platforms, right? You have collaboration, ecosystem partners really become instrumental for you guys. So it's a good sign. You get the leverage of platform, you get some time to market faster, time to value. This is what it's all about, right? I believe that security tokens are going to be a big part of our future revenue on Exit itself, right? And I can't miss out on that one and I'm happy that we meet at that early stage, so to say, where everything happens, where we set the path into the future. So, let's see what happens. Amir, I want to ask you as someone who's partnered with Exit, why Polymath? What was compelling for you? What was the reason? Obviously they have a secure token, so it's a platform, so yeah. And this is a trend that's your friend right now. So why Polymath? There are multiple ones trying to do that, right? But the thing is, I'm old school, right? If somebody I know and trust tells me this is a great person I need to talk to, this is a great project, then I do it. So, Tim Frost of Tower Solutions was the guy who connected us in New York on a brief meeting and now more and more. And so, this is how we started and I go with my gut feeling. If I see a sincere man, I see a sincere man and I would like to work with him. All right, great. Platform-wise, APIs, how's it going to work? You guys, can you share any details? I missed the announcements we were doing, CUBE interviews, what was announced on stage? Yeah, for me, and this is kind of what I've been echoing all week is that it's all about building the components of this ecosystem. We're trying to literally reimagine Wall Street and to do that, it requires new forms of structure formation of capital. So we have private equity, we have mergers and acquisitions, we have venture capital. And with Polymath, we're just trying to be the base layer that other exciting projects like Lexic can build on top of. What are some of the most important things on the platform, Amir, that you like? I mean, just get under the hood a little bit. What about Polymath is going to be a good deal for you guys, but what's the key thing? Is it the saving time? Is it certain things on the platform? What specifically about these guys that you see here? I mean, free t-shirts? Free t-shirts? Free t-shirts, definitely, right? And after that, a free t-shirt contest. Now, what contest? I'm kidding. No, to me it's like, look, you want to have a security token, right? And then there are multiple jurisdictions and there's a lot of legal compliance.  And those guys figured out how to do this simple and reliable for all of us. Kind of like what you're doing on the M&A side, except they do it for the security token. Yeah, it's subtle. It's subtle. That's the name of the game. That's the definition of an entrepreneur. Removing the blockers in front of you is the key and not the waste time on management cycles, on things that someone else is doing. That, to me, is good partnership. Sounds like that's what you guys are offering, right? Absolutely. All right, guys, well, thanks for sharing the news. The final word. Thank you. What do you see is the outlook for the partnerships. That's right. Guys, we're going to make some money together. You got to build the product out first. How's the sequence of order of operations of the partnership? Share the quick overview and then we'll run the segment. Yeah, so we have a lot of work ahead of us. And right now it's about getting, you know, Polymath, the demo is out, the alpha is out, it's live, you can use it. And my biggest priority right now is getting the application layer to the market. And that simply means a user interface, drag and drop, point of click. And that is my life right now. So once we get that out the door, these guys are ready to go. Yeah, the thing is, we are launching globally for development. Since two years we're in the dev rate in June. And soon after that, we will hopefully be ready for their platform. But speaking of that, it's public now, but we will work closely right away to figure out how to optimize everything in between our systems. So it's going to be like an ongoing process where we have to be careful about resources of course, you know, but it's going to happen during this year. Amen. Well, congratulations. The building blocks of success, you got to start with the core, it's theCUBE bringing the live coverage of Bahamas, big news here in the partnerships between the two companies, Polymath, and legs it, look for more coverage. We'll be right back with more live coverage after this short break.

Yeah Through kim's face Two signs to this one's this one's adventurous. There's a lot going on here We have a new haunted house one. We haven't done one with a haunted house thing before So i'm really excited to do this one.  There's layers to the house This haunted house isn't just one layer or two layers.  Okay, it's not really It's a layer though. Is this a layer? I mean that's teeny tiny. Look at that porch But it does. Yeah, it does make the porch pop. So I had to leave it Yeah, so if you had some score marks there, it would look silly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah I figured you could line it up with the the railing here and be good But yeah, what else do we have here some trees and the words and the pumpkins that you see they pop out to I can't move this thing around the ball pumpkins pop and the only thing that doesn't pop out is I had him Kind of cut through at the bottom here these tombstones Yeah, this one's got the bat over Yeah, you can show yours So this is the one Helen asked for and said, hey, can you take the The dog sign and make it a bat sign. So there's the bat sign So these are the bat These little bats. They're all loose. They're actually the bats from the bottom Yeah, bottom bats bottom bats will scatter those on top different color I'm thinking this is going to be like that's really dark gray right there. Yeah, that's what I was thinking What's my backer? Is it just white? Um, yeah, oh, I'm gonna follow this one. Yeah, I think you can follow that All right Jerry says scott part low my honey bear. Hi y'all Chris is here and then the photo makes. Yep Uh Justin is in the garage making door hangers Scott said I'll be cutting that one tomorrow Thank you so much. I was going to get up and do that. I appreciate that All right, I did Get this up to the Patrons already At least they wanted to follow along Because everybody has time in there no other afternoon to make a cut Kelly says these look good Art speed what's your name yesterday? Jessica Something with Jay. I think she said she loves them. Thank you All right, I guess I better get started because this one's Got some detail. Oh that one's not as bad as it looks. It looks detailed. It looks awesome I think I'm gonna try to make it simple. We have two different paint schemes here Can you guys see those? I'm gonna do no I'm gonna do this one in the purple backer because the house stays all black just with some dimension This one has a two-tone house color And a little gray in the grass I guess this one's great too I like the uh purple backer. I like the two-tone house I feel like it's it's classy. Well, I'll paint the other the other version another day and then we'll Yeah, we'll see which one we like better. We'll do like a bow no bow Yeah, that worked out. Well bow no bow. We had a lot of good feedback from that Say no bow one Oh Jenna, thank you Uh, how long does it take to design these? Oh lol Yeah, how long does it take to design these you just poke the bear Well care to have something to say to that one The bat took me like 20 minutes. It wasn't anything and to do the cut out and everything. Yeah, 20 minutes to make the bat Well, I started with a template. That's why I was able to make the bat in like 20 minutes I have a basic template where I do layovers and Just knock them out real quick But the hop to happy halloween with the haunted house that one took a minute Like the first time I had it done done was uh I'm gonna say maybe 90 minutes and then There was some rework a different font a different house different ghosts different tombstones Actually, I think I had bats down there those turned into tombstones. Yes, there was a lot of bats at the bottom like this And I was thinking that was way too busy. This thing is already the house is it's focus And I told him no, that's too busy. Maybe put some tombstones some tombstones So tombstones down there And then we tried to figure out how to do the tombstones Because we did not want to add another layer So we did the cut out version and then I was like, well, that's too many tombstones How about just some grass how about a couple of tombstones and some grass And then you couldn't get the grass right and then he was getting frustrated So I gave up and I was like so four tombstones It is the original design 90 minutes with the go backs and changes I'm gonna say like with kim's edits six hours with kim's edits And I'm gonna go hour on the font It was an hour just on the font I think you did that to yourself though, right? Well, because I know what's gonna happen if I choose the wrong font Which you did at first it was a very spooky Sharp like creepy font and I was like that's not really the look we've got going here Somebody the other day commented you're still so cutesy No, they didn't you make you can make it look that's what gary or something. That's what gary heard Now somebody commented on the coffin leaner that we did last year and said Oh so and so they tagged somebody else and said you can make this look really I bet you could make this look scary and then gary was like, well, I can make it look scary You don't have to make it not supposed to be scary. That one's not supposed to be scary Make it scarier a lot easier than I could Then I would have Kind of make it cute trying to make everything cute. Yeah Yeah, so the haunted house. Yes the the font then he then he had blood dripping from the font And I was like, nope. We're not doing that either. That's not what we're doing So, yeah, oh you guys should see my My serial killer door around Yeah, that's cool. Kim keeps knowing it. No, we're close on that one too. We're close. Oh gosh All right Oh, you can leave them out. You can leave them out and then the Windows will go all the way through and they'll look like deep windows. That was my idea but Oh, okay. I left them in because I didn't feel like taking them all out for the picture because it was already down I'll show you guys what I'm looking at here I get I took all the top pieces off All the windows all the window cutouts freaked her out I was like, oh my gosh Do I have to save all of those windows and then do I have to save them? And make sure I know exactly where they go back in there And he said no, thank goodness. No, no I was planning going like this open windows. Thank goodness Open window concept It's an open floor plan All right, so you guys will have to give us some feedback. Let me know Kelly said, sorry, I didn't mean to poke that bear Um, you'll have to let us know how the sound works So we have something new with our sound so we're not using our lavalier mics. You see that Uh, we do have a mic that sits right above Where we're working But this mic It's a great mic and it's going to pick up all the sounds all the sounds But maybe too many sounds so as we move and ruffle the paper You'll have to tell me how loud that is and if that gets annoying So I try to put filters and stuff on there I am no sound technician Yeah, well, we're learning. I think it gets better every time, you know We've been doing this a minute now and we've made so many changes and improvements over time Are you going to get black?

That was a problem I was doing a fakey I came into this berm and I did a big foot jam Like anyone knows what that means and I came back in fakey And just as I got my foot on I hit the the transition on the other side of the berm And I looped out and I tried to curl my back when I fell But my back kind of matched the transition of the berm that fell They went slap back back and I lay and flat on my back and it whipped my hands out Both hands hit the ground too really hard And then I got cut myself here and then my other ones sore Yeah, but it was cool up until And when he got home he he walked upstairs quietly I was up there Trying to show a child how to change a light bulb I don't understand why you got to even teach someone that then she was like Should I cut the power? No, you don't have to cut the power. It's just changing a light bulb. That's hilarious. That's because of LEDs They last so long they don't see it very often anymore. I guess maybe and she'll never know trying to change a hot light bulb Yeah, no, she'll never know. She'll never know that I hope trying to use her sleeve to take the light bulb out She did ask me if it was hot and I was like, no, it's not hot And then um, she couldn't get the You know the fixture the glass bowl that that sits over top of your it was in her bedroom fixture And I was I was like just turn the little thing at the bottom. You just turn that and then the whole Glass bowl thing will come down And she was like it won't turn I was like we'll try lefty loosey.  I said, all right If I have to get up on that ladder and show you how to change a light bulb, I'm gonna be so mad And I get up there and all I did was turn it and it turned right away and I was like she was like, oh my gosh I have so many jokes right now Right. I know so many jokes I know Anyway, it's hard to pick one. It was during that moment of my frustration. I'm trying to show her how to Change a light bulb That garrick came came up and quietly went past Past her room to the tower bedroom and I came in and I was like so I was surprised.

That's a wave of mice So are jason you're having issues with your glow forge expiring using the pastor Mine's been pausing lately. It's like halfway through a cut. It just pauses lately just takes a break But the timer on my It happened three times last week, but the timer on My window kept going and it said cooling down on my browser window And it was still cutting Because it took a break Oh, I took a break it just What do you mean? It was still cutting like it just picked back up after a pause for a while pause for a while but I'm tired y'all Well, it was hot back there. So we weren't sure if the temperature was really causing an issue back there Yeah, but hot was like 82 Then I was wondering if it was that damn powder coat that I used Well, does it make you feel a little better that somebody else is having an issue? Maybe it's something to do with the software right now Yeah, that's what I was wondering one place inside that Maybe 1130 Yeah, all right, clean my clean my lens of like every time I go to use it Because they get dusty quick What was I doing? Oh, no, I'm gonna get I have all these letters in front of me. I have to paint my back. It was 100 addicted to DTF now Oh, she just ordered a full commercial production set Wow Congratulations He's jealous I was talking about it this morning. It is so funny the full one Our neighbor next door came over and wanted us to do like I mentioned before I don't know Some of you may already know they are um Printers t-shirt printers over there like screen printer Yes screen printing and so sometimes there are smaller jobs that They can't do or don't want to do because you have to set up a whole screen And so it may be one or two Or personalization size graphics sometimes get hard because of the detail Yes, yeah, yep So they were looking at our system Um, but you know as we shared before While this setup is great for kind of that starter setup Um, you can't really run a full business on it. That's for sure. Yeah, uh, and you have to use it every day So we were talking about yeah, if you guys want us to do some prints for you It'll give us the opportunity to use it so that the ink doesn't settle Because as soon as it settles you've got to clean the printheads Run the ink all the way through It takes a little maintenance Little maintenance But it's worth it. I mean To have a dt can do your own dtf prints to those own dt like print on anything We could dtf this whole thing Yeah, do you guys see our video last friday? We finally were able to do a little dtf on the back of those Fall signs the 12 but what were they 10 by 10? Fall signs 10 by 10 That way they'd fit in the glow forge. I like to go bigger Oh deanna said she dwells that purple Yeah, this is african violet. So of the country chic color palette. I mean not country chic. These are We still love our country chic. I know you don't hear us talk about it much But you will this week because they're about to do a furniture makeover piece The chalk paint is great for that but for these exterior signs We use the sherwin-williams exterior paint right now, although we will say Um Those that like to support us we've got something new coming. We're gonna do We're gonna try and create our own line of paints And do our own exterior paint set for and to sell with our kits and things like that So i'm really excited about that, but that's still in the works in a little ways away Yeah, it's in its infancy. Yes like it's still kind of just an idea. I guess Well, I'm gonna start calling I have my requirements down We need to work on the script Otherwise, I think you're ready to contact you. Do you have a white roller? What happened to it? Oh, yep, I hit it Oh, it's still on our stick here. Sweet Yeah, that wasn't me. I remember doing that now. I hit it from you It's a tour I need the orange roller I think it's over there in that A basket I think I see it Let me do this coat down He's gonna clean the lenses and mirrors and run some chest cuts tonight. Yeah, good idea Mine was expiring this weekend and I found it was the fan that is attached to the silver rolling tray Those are that stupid little Their idea of irises Still want a 3d printer so I can hack the blue forge Or if I tell somebody my idea and they make it But I would like to try making something 3d like on that. What's that tool fusion? 360 I don't know what you're talking about I want to make something 3d and then 3d printed make a 3d file and then Use the what is that fusion? Is that some software? Yeah, I think it's software. I think it's that's the name Kind of guessing it name. Hey, can you reach that orange for me while you're up? Yes I'll give it Oh To the witch that one to the right Yep I'll call the witch doctor and this is what you see There he said the bright evening was awesome. I'm trying to convince scott. We need to go dtf Yeah, dtf is awesome I enjoy it All the chicks said your neighbors need a white toner printer. No maintenance Yeah, we Talk to them a little bit about I'm a little surprised. I want to try it white Yeah That they haven't gone that route yet But I think they're just they're just still working on it because there's two guys over there I think one is the Like tools guy and one is the business guy And the tool guy.  That's what I think I could I could think that that's how it works over there Oh What you mean Lois says over 70 in the live. Yes hit that like button if you're here Just so that if you're new here This is what we're making Not far back. This is hymns This is hymns. She's making and this is mine Mine's baddie This is a little bit crazy Came from my Helen Helen requested it and I was on it. Oh, that's so rare. That's not black Yeah, this little thing here. Oh, I have black right here in this. I didn't know this for you I got you. I got you. I got you Here you go Thanks Catch my edge He's peeking through on the looing Good question Kelly Kelly asks when you have a door around that's more detailed like that. Do you charge more for them? Well up until now. No, we haven't been but the answer to you is going to be yes um, you should we started doing this that was just having this conversation with Garrett to What not last weekend because we didn't I had teens run the farmers market for us on Saturday that was so great and might Do that every weekend? No, not every weekend, but I might do that again. That was kind of nice We'll drop them off go to brunch. Yeah, we can go have some mimosas or something at brunch I probably wouldn't go over too low. Well, we don't come back and tell them we We come back covered and sawed us acting like we were working We were working so hard. We got so much done uh, anyway while we so it was the weekend before and um The cost of wood is still going up. I just can't even believe that the cost of wood is still going up. So um, we talked about doing this um What is it good better best? Yeah Uh, and we already have signs that are like less detailed and more detail But really I only I charge less for the ones that are just kind of black and white Maybe just have words on it and a backer that when I try and do 30 or 35 It depends on if I distress the backer or not um But all the signs that that had multiple layers of wood we were just doing 45 but some of these with these You're right. Some of them not only do they have multiple layers. They have like four layers and lots of pieces We got a Grinch with the presents Well, that one was already that one that one we did charge more for because there is a lot of labor and putting that one together But even this one We're looking to up the prices to 55. I'm trying to do a 35 45 55 in our price range And we'll see how that goes I have found that We'll have to just kind of see how it goes Uh, because if the 55s aren't selling then Garrett's gonna have to scale back some of these designs and not make them so detailed Uh, because 45 seems to be the sweet spot Uh for sales from for these signs 45 and they move When they go up to 55 they don't move as quickly so I'm hoping if I can show These are 30 over here. These are 45 over here and these are 55 It should be obvious why these are 55 they'll they'll be able to say oh, okay Oh, because those are awesome ones. Yeah, like they should be able to visually see I like I see those have more detail I got long winded The uh The witch is You consider that one more detailed one because Only the hair is two layers, but then the words Don't their words to get a little crazy. No, they're super easy. It's just uh, it's not too bad. It just takes a There's two layers of hair. So you've got to do All of them three colors and then three different colors for the top layer It's not like you can use the same layering and Same color and go over both layers. You gotta switch up colors I don't know. I'd probably still keep that one at 45 But like that one right there you're thinking 55 Yes, because it gets heavy. Uh, I guess it's just so much more wood It did use a whole other section of wood that this one didn't That's true And the cut time was probably I don't know I'll pass in on what the cut time was I'm assuming because of the tree here and all the windows. Yes It was Cut time. Yeah, so we're using a star bond thick Wool over pieces down And because I don't have a shorthand I'm not going to use the accelerator But you can All right, I think my sign is ready to glue All right, I noticed that in the design your pumpkins The base of the pumpkin is orange. Yeah, and the top is Um black. Yes, but I also noticed that your orange had a glow to it Do you think I should I get a little? Um yellow and dab it in there and try and give it a glow or am I going too far with it? What time is it or 45? Yeah, give it a glow I think it'll take two minutes. It'll make it pop. Are we going to give these away today?  I forgot that was what we're supposed to start calling the people The hangers the hangers that's right Here she is. Hey Helen. Are your ears burning?

I'm not saying that I don't like it. I'm just saying it's like one of those things that you can say Okay, you've done that Oh, yeah Just check it off comes and goes so fast Like I feel like we just talked for the last week Don't know what to tell him. I'll be like, oh well, you know True Can we have any good updates? I gotta give him some good stuff Yeah, we have any uh We talked a little bit about mid-year stuff last time Yeah, as we were at the end of beginning of august just wrapped up July This tape is serious business these letters. All right. What do you think is about about the amount of bats up top? If that's a sufficient amount of bats. Yes. Nope. Nope. Don't you don't make it excessive I wasn't I was gonna put the bat eyes in. Oh, okay. I thought you're going in to add some more Like nope, it's perfect. I think that's perfect So the thing about the bat one we're just using the bats from the bottom to fill in the bats at the top So there's no score marks. Yeah, I learned from the leopard print.  Do you like a lot of bats or a little bats your call? Are you ready? Are you sane? Do you think you're batman? Tyra wants the haunted house and my niece would love that movie. Yes Have you seen it? That's kind of what I was thinking about when I was doing it That's why there's the three pumpkins in here Yes We picked up a file That we're using that we found on Etsy or something that we Have included in some of our halloween stuff that Garrett Garrett needs to make his own version But in the meantime, it's the welcome foolish mortals saying And that one sells well that one's cute After I picked the bat up, I forget where I had him when I got to put him back Like I know general area but Yeah, it was position he's in I gotta remember This blue is so hard to squeeze Tape it's so Tape it's sticky. Yeah, I mean like I'm afraid it's gonna break it when I peel it off It's the good stuff No, it's not in the back. That's the stuff that drives them crazy. Oh, that's up to anyways Does it rips easy? Yes. Well, it's so sticky.  I'm gonna make that next t-shirt Jason says he'll be there. All right. He's good. All right. Jason. I'll be waiting. I'll be watching How awesome that you get to do arts and crafts for a living For those kids. Yes you bet. It is awesome. Yeah I like it Way better than my last job I think we already did that one. I'll just say We give the other one away by asking. I think we did it right. Yeah, we're gonna come up with something new Something clever. That is faster than my chat. I just got How awesome Are you still on the Um, do you think the chat is on the 30 second delay or something? Oh, maybe. Yeah But mine isn't because I'm chatting as myself I'm not actually chatting Yeah, Jason says he really likes the bat sign. There are a ton of color options. Yes, there are Hey, there's my bat sign. I put some red in there some purple I wanted to make the bat three layers big him was already if he on the two legs I thought he'd be cooler if like That dark gray layer stuck all the way out and then the black layers out on top of that So it's kind of pureing it up Well, because we're kind of spreading you flying at you Because of exactly what um, we were talking about before just a few minutes ago Um, how much we put in there what the cut time is Yeah, I didn't think the frame was I don't think that All right, wait, man. You do you need help you want me to help you? Do you want me to glue your pumpkins down? You can glue them.  I don't think about that. You're gonna see purple That's okay.  I don't think so. See Oh, I still think it stands out. Yeah, I think still thinks it Gives it that shadow. You just wanted a hint of the Tombstone, right? I didn't want them to be too busy. Yeah Yeah, she didn't want them to pop out or be too busy so I just kind of did like Find the outlines that can get cut I didn't want it to be too boring at the bottom That's what you were saying. So my thought process I'm making those is that's where the moonlight hits Yeah, he gets very he gets very like literal when he's making these and sometimes I'm like, you know what you don't have to be so Doesn't have to be so realistic It does You might want to ask this way Were you talking about these little dots? Yeah I can't because they're scored But you gotta put this That's good. Oh those dots I'll get rid of the score marks that way you can put them in or not put them in But those are like the little puff marks the little Yeah, we'll prove marks for the ghosts are moving around Yeah, well this one's so tiny it's definitely gonna break off Tyra if one of these little dots broken Just cover the top of it Oh, yeah, I have to think about Oh, I think the dots make it look cool though Oh Renee said the tombstones should glow Yes, they sure little glow in the dark paint. I love that idea. Yes, you know, I'm a sucker for the glow Oh, she said that about the bats. I gotta go back up the bats should glow in the dark the average painter with glow in the dark That would be cool Yes Oh, I'm gonna make another one real quick and do it so it glues I'm gonna spray it. I have I have that uh Oil in the dark spray paint at home Tomorrow we'll do one and then I'll spray it Yes I have all kinds of Home Yeah, just all you have to do is glow in the dark Orange glow in the dark green glow in the dark white glow in the dark blue glow in the dark. That's the spray paint I think they have them each in like an acrylic version I have the glow in the dark powders crystals the The we don't need to know everything that you have to Go back Shoes I have shoes they glow in the dark with little skulls on them Their bands um A lot of glow in the dark stuff.

He did he lies to them So then all of a sudden he's their stories him getting laughed at a meeting


The first United Methodist crumb is located in a community that has been just growing rapidly for the last 20 years, but at the same time we had a United Methodist church there that had been declining for the last 20 years and it had reached a point where it was unable to make payments on its mortgage, it wasn't able to pay apportionments, it wasn't able to pay a full-time salary for a pastor. And there were some issues that had happened in the school there that had really damaged the reputation of the church. And so after a few meetings with the leaders, we entered into an agreement where the congregation would go dark for a season. A new opportunity was given to the church, a huge weight was lifted off them financially and a new opportunity to rebrand themselves and to relaunch emerged during the season that we called going dark. So we arrived here in July 1, starting essentially from scratch with a few folks to help with support. We started doing interest events here. So out of the interest group we got a lot of good ideas on what people are looking for. People want a place to connect with their neighbors. People want to feel like they belong and that they are included. People want an inclusive community where all kinds of people are welcome and we're very passionate about that already. People want to have an opportunity to study and ask deep questions. People want to build a deeper relationship with their faith. When this was crime first United Methodist, I did attend. I left that church several years before it had closed. I attended church at another town, United Methodist Church. And then when COVID hit, obviously the churches were closed and then there was a pastor change. I didn't like the church as well. So I haven't attended anything since COVID hit. So I'm excited to have a Methodist church here in my community. I'm looking for in a church a home, a place that I'm welcome, that I'm part of, that I can come as I am and they're going to love me and accept me and no judgment and just be welcomed. So we knew coming here that we were going to have to rename the church. That was just part of the mandate. If you build something new it's got to have a new name. We just kept circling around the word community. It's a place to build community, to gather community, to have a space where the community can meet. Not just for church stuff but for other gatherings. And so for us this idea of getting people together, going in one direction, it's community for us. We want to build something sustainable from the ground up and that requires a relationship first approach, getting the community connected with the community, getting us in the community as well, doing the parades and doing the service projects, helping out with the food pantry, like building relationships. For Christmas we had, the city did a Christmas parade. So we had a float in the parade. So we helped, I came here and helped decorate the float and watch the community. We passed out hot chocolate to the community. We had 400 packets of hot chocolate and that was not near enough. So that was gone before we even halfway through the parade. So our first worship service, November the 1st was an All Saints service. We had 40 folks there that night, which was awesome. Christmas we had 52. So we did our Christmas service a week early, December the 17th. For our communion service we just did kind of a casual Wednesday night communion. A week and a half, well mid January. We had 25 folks here that night. For brunch church we had I think 42 folks on January the 27th and a lot of good breakfast food as well. I had the blessing of worshiping with them just shortly before Christmas. There was an energy of children that they had not had children for quite a long time in the congregation. And there is a new energy with this new identity and a new name of community UMC. Right now our focus is on building a launch team of 30 plus adults who are committed essentially to being the church to support community UMC with their prayers, presents, gifts, service and witness and to be here in worship when we launch weekly worship every Sunday unless they are sick or out of town. Every Sunday for six months, which is a real commitment for a lot of folks. The average church goer goes 1.75 times per month and then within that a core team of 8 to 12 who will help with steering the community to stay on message that we are here to build disciples of Jesus Christ in the community and for the community. And then a group alongside that that will be my support team to help with administration. So those are next steps. In addition to doing, like we're going to do an Easter egg hunt, we're going to do Easter Sunday worship. We've got other fun things. We're going to do a Lantan Wednesday night Bible study with kids stuff, we're going to do Ash Wednesday. Like we're going to observe those really holy and important experiences as a community as a United Methodist pastor. I'm grateful and I know that I couldn't do this work without the help of the connection. The prayers of the connection over my family and over this church and the people that are gathering have been like so felt. It's just amazing to know that we are not alone while we're trying to tell everybody else that you're not alone. Like we're not alone either. And so I'm grateful for our siblings and the North Texas annual conference that have been so amazingly present during a very interesting and anxiety producing and wonderful season of building a new church.


Distillation refers to a variety of techniques that take a larger network and use it to construct a smaller network that has similar properties. The basic idea of distillation is to first train a standard large neural net, the teacher, then take that teacher and apply it to use the larger set of unlabeled data, unlabeled data being easy to come by, thereby generating a larger set of soft labels, estimated labels, surrogate labels, and often along the way you can also look at the outputs of the hidden nodes, so you have not just what does the neural net predict for the final output but what features has the neural net used internally to reach those final nodes, then you take either those soft labels or the soft labels and the learned features and use those to train a new student network. And people have found over and over again that this is a good way to regularize by having trained on a much larger data set and that you can often then train a smaller network that is at least as good and sometimes better than the teacher at generalizing to future data sets.


Welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony, I'm doing new car track SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2024 Chevy Malibu courtesy of Sioka Chevrolet in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So we're in the Malibu today because this is a good looking American sedan in my opinion. And there is a new color for the 2024 model year as well. So ultimately in this video, we'll be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering field, ride quality, sound system, 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. As you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2024 Malibu. First one being the LS starting at $26,195, which is a very modest $100 bump from the 2023 model year. What I've been seeing is it's typically a lot more than that. And so that is pretty cool. RS, which is the trim we are in today, starting at $27,095, one LT for $29,195. And lastly, the two LT going for $32,595. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plan on the Malibu is going to be the same. Powering the beast is a 1.5 liter turbocharged four cylinder putting out 163 horsepower at 5,700 RPM, 184 pound feet of torque coming in at 2,500 RPM, power being set to the front wheels through a CBT, zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 7.8 seconds, with MPG numbers coming in at 29 in the city, 36 on the highway, taking regular unleaded fuel. And so now that we've got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the Malibu here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Malibu here up to speed. All right, founder straightaway in three, two, one, go. Sliding a little bit, it's wet out. There's nothing wrong with that. You're not going to have any issues with virtue cuts of the highway. It's not the quickest thing in the world, but it'll certainly get the job done. I'll just put it that way. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important as we are pulling up to this red light right now. As far as 60s here stopping distance goes, it comes in at 127 feet. And of course, four wheel ventilated disc brakes do come standard. So as braking feel goes, it's a little bit on the softer side of things. It's not a super firm braking feel, but it'll certainly get the job done. So again, you're not going to have any issues there.  As far as ride quality goes, you do tend to feel a little bit more of the red than it typically used to feeling in sedans, but again, it's not something that would personally bother me. I'll just put it that way. So where steering feel goes, that's actually really nice. It's not a super firm steering feel, but it does kind of lean on the heavier side of things. So it does instantly point you in the direction that you want to go. So in terms of steering feel, I actually really like it. So no issues there. As far as cabin noise goes, as we were going like 10 miles per hour, turning into this turn right here, it's not bad going 10 miles per hour, but I'll tell you what, I'll let you guys be the judge without it going 40 miles per hour right now. There is a little bit of road noise, I will say that, but as far as wind noise goes, it's almost non-existent and it is pretty windy today and get a little bit of rain noise too, because it's been raining pretty good, but yeah, there's a little bit of road noise, but it's not too bad. Touching on rear visibility, I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back. So you are definitely not going to have any issues with rear visibility on the Malibu, 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 2024 Chevy Malibu. All right, so here she is, you guys. The new 2024 Chevy Malibu finished in Summit White. In case you were curious of the exact exterior color name that we had on this one here today, but as always, let's go ahead and start with where the Malibu is made, taking a look at the bin. First character is the number one, indicating that the new Malibu is built and assembled in the US, as it should be. But like I said at the beginning of the video, there is a new color for the 2024 model year. In case you were curious what that color name is, that is Lakeshore Blue Metallic. So if you want the latest and greatest, that's gonna be the one to go for. But upfront, you will find halogen headlights for the LS, RS, and 1LT trim levels. You will get LED daytime running lights for the 1LT and 2LT trim levels though. LED headlights though, coming with the 2LT, get the automatic feature with that. Automatic high beams though, also standard on every single trim level across the board. So you gotta love that. If you have your high beams on at night, senses of vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams. Then when the vehicle's gone, it's gonna automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you there. So very convenient feature, gotta love that one. Black front grille with chrome surrounds then coming with the RS trim level that we have today. And I love the black dial emblem. I think that looks dango with the front grille and all the other black accents as well. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front end. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. And so I've been now making our way to the side of the Malibu here. Chrome windows surrounds do come standard. Malibu lettering found on those front doors is either gonna be finished in chrome with the gloss black look that we have with us here today. Power adjustable body colored sign mirrors do come standard for all trim levels across the board. And they will actually be heated sign mirrors for the one LT and two LT trim levels. Then take a look down at the wheel setup, 16 inch aluminum alloys for the LS, 18 inch aluminum alloys for the RS, 17 inch aluminum alloys for the one LT, and then 19 inch aluminum alloys for the two LT. So literally you have a different wheel size for each trim level that is available for the Malibu. So that's pretty cool. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Malibu, all the way up top, you will find a body colored shark fin antenna. Just below that, a center high mount stop lamp. Love seeing that. Gotta love that body colored rear spoiler back there as well. I think that looks pretty darn good. LED tail lights are going to come on the two LT trim level only then. You do get trim level badging back there found on the trunk as well. And then just below it all, this is a pretty cool look. Dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips, with polished tips, I should say for the RS that looks so damn good back there. So many manufacturers are still tucking away their exhaust. And I'm not a big fan of that, but I love this. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Malibu, when it comes to opening that rear trunk, there is going to be a button on the cube bob, but there is a button on the trunk itself as well. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 15.7 cubic feet. That's actually a good bit for a sedan. If that was not enough space though, there is a 60, 40 split meaning the rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space then. If you needed it, there are some tie down anchors back there. There is cargo lighting as well. And if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you will find a spare tire, which I was very happy to see. So then making our way to the rear legroom, that is going to come in at 38.1 inches for reference. I'm even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in that second row. Rear ventilation is going to come standard on the one LT and two LT trim levels only. Rear center armrest with cup holders. Once again, the one LT and the two LT. USB charging port for the two LT trim level only and then a 12 volt power outlet is going to come standard for all trim levels across the board. Then making our way up to the front seats, cloth seating for the LS, RS and one LT trims, leather seating them for the two LT, manually adjustable front seats for the LS and the one LT power adjustable driver seat for the two LT and actually our RS trim level that we have with us here today. Heated front seats then for the one LT and two LT and the ventilated front seats for the two LT. But overalls for seat comfort goes, honestly, it was perfectly fine for me in my short little test drive here today. So no issues with the seat comfort. Then taking a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is going to be leather wrapped for the RS and two LT trim levels. And then heated for the two LT trim, but 10 and two Crips are perfectly fine. I actually love the leather steering wheel that we had on this one. But then making our way to the startup, let me start by showing you guys the key here. You got your Chevy logo on the one side. When you flip it over lock, unlock the button to pop the trunk and that circular button is your remote start, which by the way comes standard for every single trim level across the boards. That's pretty cool. But it is also keyless entry with a push button start for all trims across the board. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot of the brake and press that engine start button located just to the right of the gauge cluster. Now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. If you wanted a dual pane panoramic sunroof that is optional on the one LT and two LT trims, ambient lighting for the two LT trim level, garage door openers is going to be optional on all trim levels. We don't have that one today, unfortunately. Wireless phone charger for the two LT trim level. Just in front of the shifter you got a little bit of rubberized storage just to the right of the shifter. That's where you're going to find your cup holders. And I think my favorite interior accent on the Malibu if I were to pick one would be this cool texture eyes kind of cloth pattern found just above the passenger side glove box. It continues around just surrounding the push button start as well and also onto the doors. It's basically the seat material but pushed onto the doors and the interior as well. So I thought that was a pretty cool touch. I love texture eyes finishes like that. So it's something different than I'm not used to seeing. So I guess that's why I'm a fan of it. So front side side curtain airbikes do come standard driver and passenger knee airbags as well. In the back you're going to have latch AKA lower anchors to tether to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system, but also coming standard automatic emergency braking a following distance indicator for collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning and there is a driver confidence package I guess for $595 that's going to add to that rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert and lane change alert with side blind zone alert then as well. Overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the Malibu, this is a very good looking American sedan. So I've said that every single time I've reviewed the Malibu I still really like the looks of this is a good looking car. I do love the wireless connectivity as well like the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay that's something that you don't always find standard on other vehicles out there. So that was pretty cool to see too. So that was my two positives. Now let me throw my two negatives real quick or needs improvement or whatever you want to call it. LED headlights now come standard on things like a base Corolla or a base Civic. So they certainly should be standard on a base Malibu as well. And the other thing is I think an all wheel drive option would be pretty darn cool in the Malibu because that's definitely something I look for because it does tend to snow where I live in PA here. So I don't know. There's other sedanans in this class that actually do offer all wheel drive. So Chevy, if you're watching this add all wheel drive to the Malibu because this is a really good looking car and I want it to be perfect. But anyways, let me know what you guys think in the Malibu in the comments section below. That is about it for this one you guys. Thank you so much for watching.

So this is coming up again. So I feel like I need to talk about it. Do not use telegram the messenger at all There is no reason to use it Telegram a lot of people using it have this idea that it is a private messenger It's not a lot of people have the idea that it is end-to-end encrypted It is not a lot of people have the idea that is some kind of alt-tech or Decentralized system it is not it is just as bad as using Facebook messenger in terms of your privacy and security In fact, there's a good reason to think that using something like WhatsApp Even though it's a spyware program is better for your privacy than telegram telegram honestly sucks There's no reason to use it and there are alternatives before I even go into why telegram is bad There are many other alternatives that are actually good that do the things that telegram pretends to do and do it much Better and do it in a much more usable way. Okay, there are two main ones the more old-fashioned and still very extensible one is XMPP that is a protocol that can be used for chat. It can be used for voice over IP There are a bajillion different programs that run it XMPP a more normie friendly Aside from XMPP a more normie friendly thing that does what telegram does is what's called matrix So matrix both matrix and X XMPP function basically in the same way It's the same way like an email server works Anyone can install this kind of software you can install a matrix server and you can create accounts there You can create accounts on any matrix server or XMPP server out there And you can communicate with anyone in the system in the same way that you use an email address You might have a Gmail address, but that can communicate with addresses off of Gmail. Okay, same concept So these are decentralized and all free software equivalents Matrix is very easy to use if you are just looking for a messenger for you and your friends or your groups Look into matrix because it is much better than telegram and it actually is what telegram pretends to be So let's talk about the things. Let's talk about telegrams pretenses firstly people say that telegram is open source Okay, the telegram system messaging system is open source. It isn't okay They have open source clients that you can download on your phone or download on your computer But they directly interact with a proprietary server side that is entirely centralized, right? So there is one telegram botnet that everyone connects to and it is not we have no idea what it is running Okay, even the source code for the desktop and mobile clients is very slowly released So that you know, that's another questionable thing, but it's not, you know Telegram is not in any meaningful sense an open source It is not an open source system because the the server side. We don't know what it's doing Secondly telegram is absolutely not end-to-end encrypted your messages all your group messages are totally readable by telegram and Basically all of your private messages are readable by telegram. They are not end-to-end encrypted And what I mean by that is end-to-end encryption means Sending a message that only the intended recipient can actually decrypt and read Telegram does not work like that. Telegram invented their own kind of encryption scheme where messages are encrypted to their server Where they have the decryption key and they can decrypt any group message or anything else and Then messages are re-encrypted and sent to the other person, but telegram themselves can read anything Okay, that is on their server. There is no message you send over there. That is going to be private Okay, and this is not the case in matrix and XMPP you can have truly end-to-end Encrypted communication including groups. It's a trivial thing to do, but telegram actually does not have that Okay, telegram can absolutely monitor your chats now some people say oh well telegram does have this ability to have Into end encrypted chats and that is true There is an option for that, but it's not used by many people and it only works on mobile And it only works with one device at a time so you can't hook multiple mobile devices up to it You can't you know if someone sends you a message to you know your account on telegram You can't read it on desktop if it's in into end encrypted because it doesn't work on the desktop Because telegram invented their own encryption scheme and they haven't figured everything out with it right to be able to do this Kind of stuff matrix XMPP it works out of the box. You don't have to worry about it Okay, that that is something that they should not have to be dealing with but you know, that's how it is thirdly So it may again L or excuse me telegram is it's it's not it's not really open source in any meaningful sense It's not encrypted in any meaningful sense And it's also not a good alternative alt-tech Company because it's just a centralized system in the same way that that Facebook or Twitter or any of these other Communication platforms are okay email XMPP matrix. They are all decentralized There are many different servers you can create an account at and you can use that account to talk to anyone else on any other server Okay, that's how email works. That's how XMPP works. That's how matrix works. That is not how telegram works You have one account with telegram.  Okay, that is not the case in matrix That is not the case in email or XMPP They anyone who has any kind of tech knowledge most of the people watching my channel who watch my stuff You know and sort of know how to run a Linux server Could very easily in 10 or 15 minutes start a matrix server or an XMPP server So that means that anyone could host this kind of stuff So you you could host it yourself You could you know go with a friend that you trust or anyone else like it works fine There is no that the network itself cannot be censored in the way that telegram can be censored People say a lot of very stupid things about telegram because they're not thinking it through people will say oh Telegram is used by dissidents and in Russia or Iran or something like that And if that's the case I pity those people because they are stupid that is a stupid thing to do this because you are Reliant you will ultimately are trusting telegram with all of your information and maybe telegram has had run-ins with the Russian government And and you know they haven't given the decryption keys to the Russian government or something like that But I would rather use a messaging service where I don't have to trust anyone and that is the case in matrix That is the case in XMPP all of my communications to people. They are the people running the service cannot decrypt them They are absolutely safe. There's there's nothing I have to worry about the best the worst thing that could possibly happen is maybe The server servers are aware of your IP addresses or something like that, but they're not going to be able to decrypt Your messages. Okay, so people who say oh, I trust telegram because blah blah blah no screw that You shouldn't be trusting anyone who is designing software You should be using software that doesn't that is trustless You don't have to rely on people and that is what in what upsets me about this telegram stuff I did a video on this last year, but it keeps coming up But what upsets me about telegram is so many people use it under the false idea that it is somehow a private service It's a something uniquely reliable. It is trash. It in fact, you know, I when I did my video last year on this I said more or less the same thing and You know, I said it's basically no better than Facebook messenger or WhatsApp And I actually got corrected on that because really what's up is a much more secure platform than Telegram because telegram uses an unvetted encryption scheme that they invented whereas WhatsApp is actually even though Facebook is monitoring it It's a much more reliable encryption scheme. Okay, so anyway, that's some things to think about don't use Okay, get all your friends off telegram. There's no reason for you to be on that You can everything that you can have in telegram you can have in matrix and even more You can start any kind of matrix account on any server You can start your own server if you know how to do it You can have voice chat you can have, you know channel kind of things You can do lots of crazy stuff and in fact it can even interface, you know You can do work on your github from Matrix and all this kind of crazy stuff. It can even talk to XMPP that other protocol I mentioned that's how extensible protocols are supposed to work, right? You're supposed to be able to add stuff into them and they're supposed to be flexible telegram is not one of those things And it is no telegram isn't even more usable than matrix matrix is, you know, very streamlined at this point So look into that maybe if you if you guys use matrix put your server of choice in the the comment section Because I don't know people will want to know where they should go a lot of people go to matrix.org to start their account But I don't know there are too many people there I think it's better to spread out to different servers because they're too big But either way, yeah, don't use telegram.  Just yeah, don't
