Okay. All right. So obviously I always do your hair. Duh. I love doing your hair. You have the best hair ever. Thank you. That's why you fell in love with me, right? I know. You're my favorite model to do hair. I mean like look at this face. Look at this like luxurious thick hair. Like it is just incredible. And the color. Stop! The fact that it's not even colored is like crazy. I know. People keep asking me what the color is. They think that you color my hair but you don't color. We can pretend. Yeah, I think we should pretend. Should we just lie? No, we can't lie. No, we never lie. We never lie. So we are using my new product today. Obviously. Yeah. Super gloss. I just forgot the name of it. Super gloss ultra face defense spray. And it's going to last multiple weeks. Multiple washes. This product is incredible because it's lightweight. Super, super shiny. It makes your hair feel luxurious. Look luxurious. It gives you lasting results. I don't know what else to say.  It smells so good. It makes your hair feel like glass. Like slippery, sexy, slithery.

Obviously, you have very frizzy hair. Let's not beat around the bush. I would never. Let's be honest with ourselves. It's so frizzy. It's beautiful. Remember St. Bart's? We were just like, okay, it's just going to be like that. We gave up. But it's okay. It was cute though. It was pretty. You can pull off anything with confidence, you know? You are just so beautiful no matter what your hair looks like. So it doesn't matter.  Thank you. It's beautiful. Like you look sexy no matter what. Like look at this. Oh. So do you. The way that you're just so lucky to have this hair. Thank you. I'm so lucky to have you. This is not for porn love. This is for my YouTube channel, Sophia. It's a family show. It's a different. Stop. It's a family show. Okay. God. Our OF will be linked below, but.  And hello, Sophia's family. Hey, mommy. How are you guys? Hi. Hi, Janine. My mom. We're applying to wet hair. So we're going to wet Sophia's hair. But usually you would do this outside of the shower, right? It'd be like shower. Boom. But we are not doing that. Usually we do it right out of the shower, but. Usually you would do it out of the shower. Anyways, I'm sorry. I'm so distracting having you in my chair and doing a YouTube video. I know. I just want to stand on. I feel like we might have to put like a cover over the mirror. It's like I can't really look at you and do this at the same time. Yeah. Can we get a cape for Sophia? Oh, there's one right here. I guess I can just grab that. Don't touch it. I just say this all every day, but like you could just do anything. You have that knowledge. No, I know. It's like a weird talent. I don't really know what you mean by that whenever you say it. No, you don't need to have that skill. For example, I don't need to know what 2 plus 2 is, but I do. And it's like, you know. I feel like that one's a little more necessary. I'm not going to lie. I don't know about that. You could walk up to a random girl and be like, oh, you could fix their hair. I can just fix it. I would never walk up to a random girl because you are the only one that matters. Your hair is very difficult to wet, I will say. I know. It takes a long time. It takes a long time. Yeah. You've got to be here all day. Tick tock, tick tock. We obviously launched a podcast recently. We did. Honestly, I want to tell everybody watching that if you are easily offended, don't watch our podcast. It's a bit of a different side to me, I will say. I feel like we're not really that offensive, which is out of touch. It's called out of touch. I think that the name says it all. I mean, we're just kids. I want us to describe the podcast. I don't really know how to because I don't even know what it's about myself. I think it's just about ourselves. It's like we're so into ourselves and we love talking about ourselves.  We're so conceded that we just figured, let's put it on camera, put the microphone in front of us. We figured other people will just see us be conceded. Yeah, we just figured, fine, if you guys want to know so bad, we'll tell you. Do you think people understand sarcasm? No. Like no one's going to understand that we were just kidding, right? It doesn't matter. They don't need to understand. We are filming today, by the way, we're doing things that don't make sense on our podcast. So that should be an interesting episode. We just did an episode about being delusional, which is our favorite topic. Everybody should have that skill.  Thank you. And teaching me how to be the most delusional person ever. I'm very grateful for that. I'm grateful for you. Thank you, Sophia. And if you guys want to learn about Sophia's teachings, it's on the pod. All right. So basically to use this product, very simple, spray it onto sections of wet hair. Now you want to be super generous with this product. It is very lightweight, so you want it on your roots. You want it on your hairline. You want it in between the sections. This. If you not do that, it will not properly work. Like get it on every piece of hair. I hate when I see girls use my products and they put one little drop and they say it doesn't work. That's not how it works. So please, guys, do me a favor and use the product as intended to be used and you will get incredible results. I want everybody to have a great experience with my products.  It does. I want to drink it. I have been dying to use this on Sophia because I haven't yet and we just finally got it. This is a very exciting moment for me. So after we spray that in, I'm going to blow dry the hair very nicely and I will be back after I use the first section. Wow, it's already like... Yeah, and it blew out in like five seconds. Wait, why am I still like, wow? The way I'm trying with the blow out and it's literally like in spray. But it's just you, that's what I'm saying. I can't know it's a product too, but I can't do that as well. Like you're so pregnant. We just did a five second blow dry on this side and it's already so strict. Like I feel like you can put that in real time. People would just be like, oh, it took 10 seconds. It looks like it's straightened your hair.  Don't even say that. I know it's my product, but I'm not kidding when I say this. This is the best straightening blow dry product I've ever used in my life. 100% accurate. I'm just going to start it out there. Yeah, and if they don't agree, guess what? Cake rocks. Literally. You can cut like 10 inches off in a car. So that took me all of five minutes to do if my blow dryer didn't blow a few seconds. Your hair looks beautiful. Gorgeous. This is your product. Also, that's it. Let me finish the blow out. Yeah. Are you going to straighten it too? Yeah.   It already looks this good.  I can't even believe it. No, I know. Do I know the f***ing club? I know. I got a f***ing committee. I literally woke all the women up. And now everyone's attracted to you because we're dating. And now they're jealous.  Hello. I just heard your tongue growl. I'm so angry. Okay. Why the freak does my hair look this good? It's not a professional hairstylist, but like, and it should look this good. But why the heck can't I do it? It's honestly the product. You can do it at home too. It's so... Why that sh***? Does it look that good? I did not even straighten it yet. You didn't even do anything. Oh my goodness. Stop. Stop. You literally didn't even try yet. Wow. Unbelievable. Insane. Okay. So now I am going to straighten your hair because heat is required. Hot tools specifically are required to activate this product to ensure it lasts multiple washes. And you get all the benefits of this super gloss product. If you do not do this, it will not work properly. Hey people. Listen to Brad. Father Brad. All your hair daddies. Daddy Brad. Brat. Bratty daddy. Why did you just freak out? Can you be careful?  Can you watch your fudging mouth? Shut that fudger right now.  All right. So I'm taking small sections and I'm just going to go boom, boom, bang, bang. One pass baby. They call me one pass wonder because I only do one pass. Family show. They're kids watching. So how long have you been a redhead for? I came out of the womb bald. So like we can't count that. Have you ever seen my baby picture? Sorry. No, but we can put it in the video. No, we can't. No. Actually, yeah. I don't care. I feel like people will like relate to me more if I show you like my baby picture. My mom likes to try to convince me that I was like a cute baby and like maybe at times in the right light. Sure. In the wrong light or normal way. Wait. Okay. I'll show you a cute picture. Yeah. Just so you like can see like the right light. Yeah, baby. It's cute. You know. Oh, that's cute. Yeah. You look good. He's lying. That's cute. This one is really bad. Oh, so when I said we should have kids together, I meant we should. We should. Wait. Not anymore. Rad as a baby was like the most handsome thing. I feel like we've talked about this before. Wait, so I actually watched a TikTok the other day and. You don't only just watch your own. No, I definitely. You watch other people too. But I saw a video that said like, oh no. If you think I have an easy mouth, you shouldn't see me as a baby. And she was so pretty as a child. And I related to it so much. Yeah. I was such a cute child. Yeah. Like when I grew up and wasn't as cute and the attention stopped being like insanity. Like going through a story and getting mobbed by people.  Yeah. And then you were like, now I have to just be famous to figure it out. Exactly. And I feel something again. And now I'm just like fighting for that same thing. Yeah. Of like, please love me. Right. Please. Yes. And I was the exact opposite.  But I was insecure. I didn't have any confidence. My hair was orange. My skin was translucent. I had no eyebrows and no eyelashes. Didn't wear any makeup. And I just was not cute. And then on top of that, I had no confidence. I mean, I had it. I just, I couldn't find it. You're born with confidence. Yeah. When did you find it? How did you find it? I think when I was like 17, some boys started to like me and I was like, wait. And then I was like, just started to be more and more confident because you have to be. You know, you can't go through life just not being your most confident version of yourself. And also I think when I was 17, I cared less about soccer. Like I cared a lot about sports and just like running and I cared. I was kind of like a tomboy a little bit. And then I was like, let me just learn how to do my hair and makeup and see what happens. And it was wonderful. It was a wonderful thing. Have you always been like a girly girl? No. Always a tomboy because I was, I understand that I'm always best friends with my brother and my two brothers. And there were wrestlers and I was kind of just like with them all the time. Like in my junior years of high school, I wasn't as much of a tomboy. I was more of a girly girl and I wanted to like look pretty. And by like, we don't know, you have a twin brother. I have a twin brother and he's so gorgeous, handsome, amazing. So is my older brother. Well, your brother's engaged. You have older brothers engaged. Yes. Oh, not the twin. Not the twin. So this could still work.   Yes. Oh, I think I knew that. I think you told me that before. So would that be weird? No, I would pray for that to happen. Are you kidding me? But then would it be a blessing? It would be a blessing. Related? Wait, who? We would be related. Wait, that would be weird. No, it would be perfect for us. Wait, how does that work? Wait, why don't we just get married? Oh, I want to. Yeah. Is that a thread? I don't know. Why does that side look straighter than this one? That's what I want to know. Is it because of the light? Your tummy's still growling. Oh, that's just me. I like that I'm close enough to you that I can hear it. Get closer, baby. I like when you're literally the closest you can be to me. Um, sorry. Straight hair? Sometimes we forget we're filming things and then things get a little bit spicy.  That is fake news. I shouldn't say that. I'm like the cleanest thing alive. Because people are going to think like... You love to pretend you're like... Pretend? Jesus's daughter. I am Jesus's child.  I'm a child of God. No, you are not.  Do you ever just think like, what if this is hell? No. Because I do it all the time. Really? Because it's so wonderful. You have to think the fact that everything has a downside to it, right? Like you fall in love, but then there's heartbreak.  It's like, why can't it just be great?  You ate the apple. You have to wonder though.  You have free will. If he didn't want you to have a choice, then he would just not let you have the sugar. Anyways, enough about Jesus. Should we talk about what we met? Yes. We met at Fashion Week. No, we didn't. Oh, sh** balls. What the freak? So we met at my own brand's party. Thanks to my friend Olivia Paunton, who we love so much. She invited me as her plus one. Yes. And nobody knew who I was. When I saw Sophia for the first time, I had butterflies in my stomach. I was like, this is the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life.  And then I started doing her hair while we were sitting at the table. Yeah, he literally... It was a dinner by the way. Yeah, he literally got up from his chair and came over to me and started just... He was like, can I touch your hair? And I was like, yeah. And just started to run his beautiful fingers through my hair. And it was a blessing. Stop it. I was so grateful you were there. I was honored to be there. And then we kind of like lost, but we didn't really like follow each other. I don't think we did anything after that. And then we saw each other at another... The next year's fashion week. Next season. Wait, no. It was my party and then it was fashion week. Immediately after. So it just worked out that she was at parties that I was going to as well. And then we kept seeing each other.  You're pretty. Like you're still pretty. You can't believe you think I'm not pretty.  It was like, love at first sight. Literally love at first sight. I'm falling in love again after I tell that story. It's kind of crazy. Kind of crazy. I'm blushing. I don't know why I finished this video. Did I tell you this? Okay. Want to know what I want to tell you? Remember we talked about celebrity crushes? Yes. I said my name is Zendaya. Yes. I want to redo because it's still Zendaya. No. No, it's still Zendaya. We're going to be best friends. I already know it. Wait, are you dating her? Are you best friends? Best friends. But if she wanted to kiss me, I couldn't say no. Well, I would have to be there. Yes, of course. You can film it. My celebrity crush, Henry Cavill. It looked like me. Ryan Gosling. I went to see Ryan Gosling. You know what? You're my celebrity crush.  No, Henry Cavill. I don't want to get in a fight while we're filming a YouTube video. I know. Should this be our first fight? And I Googled his name. Guess how old he is? 50. 40. And I was like, okay. 20 years. It's perfect. Yo, what the f*** cut the camera? Why? Yo, cut the f***ing camera. No, seriously. I don't care that he's 40. You can't f***. Are you getting jealous? Yeah. Jealousy. Jealousy. My celebrity crush? Besides me. Besides me. Is, um... Name a redhead. So anyways, when did you start feeling like you loved my hair? I redo. Did you ever feel like you wanted to color it? You've never colored your hair right? No. I didn't like my red hair growing up. I didn't love it.  And it was curly too. And obviously I had no idea how to do curly hair. No one did. I don't even know if it was necessarily the hair color that I didn't like. I just did not style it. I didn't know how to do it. And blonde eyebrows and blonde eyelashes come with red hair. I just didn't feel pretty ever. And then I was like, I need to change my attitude because I can't change this. Well, you can. You can dye it, but you can't dye your hair when you're 10 years old.  And then I was like, I'm not gonna change it. I have to change my attitude. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. I was like, okay, I love it. And then I started to use my weakness as my strength and just kind of make fun of it. So I just kind of started to use self-deprecating humor to get around it. And then when I was like 17, I had a halfway decent personality because I had to because I didn't think I was pretty and didn't use confidence or anything. And then I learned how to do makeup and hair. And I was like, oh my gosh, look at me. I love that for you. Thank you. That was my journey. Well, it would be three things that people would be surprised to learn about you. You know what I just realized? Nobody can know me. Yeah. But people don't know you on my channel. So I think we should get the people to know you. I love being mysterious. Share all your secrets. My goal in life is to be a mother. And I want a great mother. And I'm very excited. I want a lot of kids, like four to six. Well, we better start going. Yeah. We better start working. And then my career goal, obviously, is to be an icon. Oh, you already got that. See, as long as you think so, that's all that matters. I think that you're the most perfect person ever in my entire life. That's literally how I feel about you. I think about it every day. I think about you the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. Like, I'm sitting in meetings and I'm just thinking, what is Sophia doing? Oh, my gosh. That's literally how I feel about you. And I love how at night we have conversations on TikTok, Instagram, DMs, iMessage. All at the same time. And then if we can't get enough done in those three apps, we'll do a phone call. A quick phone call. It's a quick reaction. It's a true story. That's true. And it looks like almost every night.  We're talking on three different apps. Yeah, I know. It's brilliant. It's brilliant, love. Oh, Sophia, Sophia, Sophia.  It looks amazing. Look at that. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe this. Like, you are meant to be a hair model. It's insane. Thank you, gosh. Too good to me. This is wild.  You like it? It feels insane. I don't think it's ever felt better. Oh, my gosh. I'm like scared to touch it. Like, it's too good. This is going to last you multiple washes throughout. This is going to last me. It can literally rain on your head and it probably won't get frizzy. I'm not. I'm not kidding. This is going to last me over a week. I'm not going to wash it. I can't wait to see it when it's completely pinned straight in two weeks because of supergloss. Because of supergloss. And these hands. Yeah. These powerful hands. Those hands can do a lot. Oh, yes. Hi. This is Brad from the future. I completely forgot to say when I said in the video that this product makes your hair humidity resistant, I meant it. So I'm showing you this test right now where we are taking actual steamer and steaming her head. I'm so happy I didn't burn her, but her hair did not frizz up at all. Also, I put some water droplets on here just to show you how waterproofing this product can be. I mean, it is wild. I wish I got the audio on camera because Sophia was freaking out. How the freak is my hair not poofing up? She has the most frizzy hair ever. It was pretty incredible. Honestly, I was even shocked. It was super fun to see. And yeah, so I thought I'd include this little clip in here for you. All right, Sophia. Obviously, people should check out the product. Supergloss. This one right here. Shop will below. Obviously, check out Sophia's, you know, TikToks, Instagrams. I'll be linked below as well as our podcast account. The most important. Which is called out of touch. And we upload it every single week. So make sure you check it out if you want to see our beautiful faces talking about some random sh** and causing trouble. And that's it. That's it, guys. Thanks for watching. Thank you for being on my channel. My love. Love you. So beautiful. And I love you so much. And now we take over our podcast. All right, let's go. Let's do it. Let's go.


This Rizzo at bat came at a time when the Yankees were struggling like crazy. Judge just got a hit, so he's on first base and they're thinking, maybe, maybe we can put something together.  Yarby's got some funk, comes with his fast ball up top, lefty on lefty and see that drop down. So it's coming from like behind Rizzo a little bit, sneaks the fast ball in there. Rizzo, look at him on the plate.  It's kind of a skill set of him, because he's fearless. He stands so close to the plate, takes away that inside from pitchers, that's part of his whole gig. Yarby comes to the one-one and he tries to drop down a slash bunt. You're thinking, all right, what's that about? Well, they show the shift and there you go, the whole left side's open. This guy says, well, what happens if they put it over there? And he says, that's what he's trying to do, beat the shift. So they're just talking some baseball in the stands and then breaking ball hits him, but the ump says, no, no, no, you're staying here. You're staying here.   Come on, tries to reason with him. But the umpire's saying, no, you didn't get out of the way of that ball. Booney's gonna come ask him, what's going on here? And the ump's gonna explain to him. He says, I see movement towards a pitch ball. That's what I saw. And Reza says, no way. That's just my foot coming down. I'm turning the hit with it. And the ump says, no, that's what I saw. Now, obviously it's a pretty tricky call cause any slow-mo it's gonna look like he went right into it cause look, the ball's coming and he leans into it, right? So the ump says, no, you, the rule is it's not even you can't lean into a ball. The rule is you have to attempt to get out of the way of the ball. So all the replays don't really do Reza any justice cause one, yeah, he's right. He's on the plate and then here, especially in slow-mo that looks like he comes forward. Where it gets tricky is look where the ball's coming from. It's behind him. So if Reza thinks that it's gonna hit him here or at this point, if he's reading fast ball cause I mean, you can see the way his eyes are looking behind him. He thinks it's gonna go behind him so he moves forward and then it hits him cause it's a breaking ball. I mean, that would be the one defense of Reza there but obviously it looks like they didn't try to get out of the way but he's like, I was trying to get out of the way. I thought it was gonna be behind me. Look how far behind me that pitch is. Then it comes in. The other thing is this is rarely ever called.  We got a short bench. DJ's hurt. We don't got another first baseman. And he's like, all right, I got it. I won't get thrown out. Appreciate it. See ya. And then he's gonna turn to the ump and he says, that's a ball, right? He says two and two. Yep. Well, got hit by a ball. Not even in the zone. Fuck! Not happy about it. Like I said, this is more than just one at bat. Rezo been slumping. Yang's been slumping. Tensions are high. And he gets hit a lot and rarely gets called for that. And then another little slide breaking ball strikes Rezo out. The inning changes. The at bat changes.  And Rezo says, yeah, it was. I'm gonna take it out on the bat rack. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Mad. Very upset. Can't get over it. Watches the replay. Still thinks it's a bad call. Doesn't like it one bit. The ump's gonna peek over and be like, what's he doing over there? Is he mad at me? Huh? Is he still frustrated? Oh, okay. Don't look. Don't look.  Huh? And his point is, the ball starts behind him. So he's not gonna move backwards. And then it comes forward into where he's trying to get away from it.  And then it hits him there. He was prepping to get hit. Definitely looks bad because all, like the ump said, all his movement is coming towards the pitch. The pitch is breaking. You don't see this called that much. If you do it, usually with the elbows, not really with the legs. So there you have it. A little, maybe you don't know that rule, but you've never seen it.


For me, it's not about tradition at all. It's about rules and regulations. I like history. I like certain traditions. I like certain rituals. But as soon as they're encased in rules and regulations, they become inclusive.  But then you have everyone coming after him that says, okay, you have to love one another and here's these 40 other rules and then these rules and these rules and you have to then be this aspect. You can't be Protestant or you can't be Catholic or you can't be just non-denomination as long as you pray and love, you have to be in this religion. You have to wear these clothes. You have to do, it's all the rules and regulations that comes with anything, with going to school, everything we do, even movements, great movements, important movements that make change, they get eventually like clubs and then all they care about is their special interest. And I think it's the rules, these rules and regulations that constantly we're fighting and trying to shed. And if that makes us seem less moral, am I less moral? Cause I refuse to have an organized religion. I don't feel that at all because I feel completely unfettered.  And I think that the real key is just to be a good person. If you're just a good person, I don't care what side of the, everybody can keep their values, keep their traditions, but you know, as Lenny said, live in harmony, you know. You mentioned, I don't think that all art should talk to everybody. Robert Maplethorpe didn't feel like his x-rated photographs or his sadomasticistic photographs were for everyone. They weren't for his mother. They weren't for young people or children. They were for specific people. A lot of people, they look at a Jackson Pollock. It makes them ill, but they will love a Vermeer. You know, I don't think that everything has to be for everybody. Some people might never like Alan Ginsburg's poems. That's okay. They'll like maybe Wordsworth. You know, we have a whole spectrum and all of the possibilities to enter the creative sphere and to find where we relate to this expanse of consciousness. And it could be through Whistler or it could be through Wagner. It's just, I think that it's, it doesn't have to just be through something new or something, I don't like all new art. In fact, I can't stand most contemporary art. You can take all of Jeff Koons and throw them into, I don't even know, you could like bury him into the, you know, some crater or something. Put them in the Hawaiian crater. It's called the shlok of the news. It's called the shlok of the news. But I'm just saying that it's just for those, like Jesus said, those who will hear will hear and those who will see will see. I would have been very happy though we were never in the mainstream even when we had one successful song. It was on such a controversial album that we managed always to stay like in the illuminated underground. I would have loved if we could have written a song on horses that I used to call it my dream of writing the hit of the world. Writing a song that everybody heard and was like felt uplifted by it. Everybody. It was like, you know, the perfect four top song, you know, reach out for me or something to write one like that. But I don't have that gift. You know, it's a gift that the, you know, Smokey Robinson had or various people have, but I don't have that particular gift. And I don't say that like being humble. It's just a truth. I mean, if I had it, I would have written the hit of the world. I don't think it's important to stay in the underground to be an artist.  It's like, we never cared whether we were, even though I had that secret dream, we didn't do our work to, you know, make money or to be pop stars or dress in a certain way. We got in trouble at least once a week. Everything that we were asked to do, we usually did the opposite, not to be contrary, just because that's the way we were going.      I mean, it was like stupidest fights every single, everything we did was a fight, right? But we were like, we were happy to fight.  You were probably gonna be poor. You were gonna maybe have TB.  You were just gonna do your work and that's what we did. And I would have to say that that is a legacy that we got from the counterculture of the 1960s. The sense of idealism, the sense of possibility that you could choose your own path. And if it was rocky, well, that's, you know, that's rolly. I mean...


Hello people. I'm Ginny Metherall. I'm a fourth generation witch with Irish blood, so I'm covering all bases here. Today's video is part of my Almanac series, looking at witchcraft in the month of December. Now of course December is all about Christmas, or as we witches like to call it, Yule. But I don't call it Yule, I call it Christmas because it makes my heart sing a bit more. Christmas and Yule are pretty much interchangeable, always have been, always were. So this video is going to look at the daily witchcraft that you can do throughout the month of December and which days pertain to which particular spells. So I'm going to run through the relevant dates of the month and give you any spells that you may need to do on those days. This is part of my ongoing Almanac series and I'll put the link to the Almanac series up in the description here so you can look at the rest of them because although they might be pertaining to July, you could still use those ideas as part of a ritual traditional witch daily craft. December is the month of change and for a month that signifies birth and renewal, which it does with the rebirth of the sun on the 21st, which is the winter solstice. This is when the sun changes its course and begins to descend out of the darkness and into the light. So we're coming in to the beginning of the month of light. Now there is an awful sense of calmness in the air in December. Our mammals are mainly slumbering in their burrows. Leaves have fallen from the trees. Snow might be falling on the ground in December. Birth of the new sun. It's a very quiet affair. It was marked in old by flame and fire. So we have the yule log, which we will bring indoors and decorate with holly and greenery and poor libations of cider and wine over to be burnt in the half, lit from the previous light's flame, kneeling with the fire before the winter solstice. Now we only really remember in Cape Ford where it's made of chocolate. Of course Christmas is all about feasting, family, food, wine. It tends to be, and very much so an indoor festival, that's only with singing around the trees in the ancient times before we bought the trees inside and hence we have a Christmas tree and still stand to sing around them. They're very very taken, love it and I do that every year. Get my children, I'm on the piano, they're singing, they're much better singing than me and I'm much better playing the piano than them so it works well. The 30th of November is the day that the moon is full and it comes to fullness at, I think it's 10 o'clock in the evening or something, but it remains at full capacity in the morning on the 1st of December and this is interesting because as the moon wanes towards the winter solstice, this brings the first two weeks of December to become a time of reflection and contemplation. It is not the most propitious time to start a new project, but you should plan them now and this will come to fruition within the next six months to a year. Plans that you make in a propitious time frame tend to take a while to come, good. This can be the foundation for the next six months because if you formalize your plans on the night of the new moon, having thought about them and contemplated them for the last couple of weeks and that night is the 15th of December, the planning phase can reach its fruition with the night when the moon arises in Sagittarius on the 15th of December. So Sagittarius moons help you become visionary, you know you can see the big picture. This is why this planning and contemplation and reflection stage at the first couple of weeks of the month is so important. You cannot see the future unless you look at the past, so it's very important to contemplate, reflect and consider what you want in the next six months or so and put that into place now. These all come good by the 26th of May 2021, which is when Sagittarius is in the full moon. So the winter solstice or new all happens on the 21st of December this year. It is a moveable feast because it's done by the Gregorian calendar which is slightly off so therefore it moves slightly. However I'm not going to talk too much about yule because yule is so interchangeable Christmas and the traditions we have at Christmas are pretty much directly taken from yule. So the bringing in of the Christmas tree and decorating it, singing, the wassailing, the yule log. It is the date of the year that you celebrate with your family and was well known for the giving and receiving of gifts. So Christmas, apart from adding in some church services, look at the Christian religion, it's exactly the same. The arrival of the 21st of December is a really exciting time for me because it marks the arrival of the moon into Capricorn. And as you may or may not have ever noticed, I wear a lovely goat around my neck which is very beautiful and very goat-like and symbolizes my Capricorn status because I like to climb to the top of the mountain shore, foot it and slowly ascend to the top apparently. I know I do that, I do plug away at things, let's get there. So this is my time of year, it is when I am at my strongest in a way because I'm celebrating my birth and all those aspects of your birth come back and help you in the month around the date you were born. I'm not so sure myself if that actually works. I find that with witchery you're pretty much as strong around your birthday as you are of any other day of the year. Capricorns are said to be old when they're young and to lessen them and become more playful and youthful as they grow older. I think that's probably certainly true of me, I was quite a serious child, I was quite depressed by the state of the world and you know politics and other things that I thought would never ever get over and now I take a much more oh well view apart from you know obviously you have to do your bit but if I can't change it I'm not going to worry about it. My favourite aspect is that I plug away at things probably slightly too rigidly for other people's ideas but I like the fact that I'm a striver, one is terribly capable of that. Now do let me know in the comments below what you think your greatest star sign trait is. I'd be really interested and maybe we could do a video on the best traits of the star signs and how to use them as a witch. Now with all the feasting and the fun and the games and the love that we're all going to do this COVID Christmas I wanted to give you a small spell for closed-studded orange or pomander. Now this was a very traditional gift that children would take closed-studded oranges and apples, give them to their neighbours and these would be embedded on green leaves showing the new life that was going to come forth and the oranges and apples being globular would be round and considered like the sun. So with these oranges and apples I'm going to make them into a gift of hope for you to give to your friends, to your family, to your grandparents, to whoever needs it. Now the ingredients are very simple you'll need a fresh firm skinned orange. We're secondly going to use a lot of clothes with antibacterial and drying properties to help the preserving of the orange and lastly we need some ribbon. Thread the ribbon in a cross shape tight as you can around the orange and tie. Then taking your clothes stick them into the exposed flesh of the orange trying to cover as much as possible. These clothes stuck oranges were known as pomandas and were used by anyone from the Elizabethans onwards to clean the air around them. This is not as mad as it seems as clothes have one of the highest antibacterial properties, one of the reasons that we're using them in this orange. Hang the orange in a warm dry place where it will shrink down and turn into a dry pomanda with the most heavenly smell. So what is witchy about a pomanda? Well it is the love that you put into the pomanda as you're making it and the care and the joy and the happiness makes it a prosperity charm. As a gift you want to give your light and love to other people and that's a rather sweet fairly cheap way of doing it. So 30th December is the full moon and this being the first full moon of the ascending sun is a great time to make moon water. Obviously the easiest way to make moon water is to take a bowl put in some spring water put the water on a windowsill where the moon can shed its light upon it or if you have that possibility outside direct in the moonlight ask the moon to bring down her blessings upon this bowl of water and leave it there till the morning. Et voila you have moon water. I mean there are all sorts of things you can do with moon water and in fact any spell that requires a drop of water is normally for me using moon water. So 30th December is the day to make moon water. Hopefully that moon water will last you through the month. I think actually this is my first almanac video that I haven't shown you a spell where I'm using moon water. I could be wrong I could be wrong about that so don't quote me but I think so. Anyway so I really hope you enjoyed this video and if you did please do give me a thumbs up and a subscribe and let me know in the comments below what your favourite aspect of December is because I'd love to know and I'll see you in my next video.


So why are we so concerned about the fact that our climate might be changing? This graph shows estimates of Earth's temperature way back in time to about 2015 and what's represented here is what we call the temperature anomaly It's the temperature relative to the 30-year average and in this case the 30-year average was taken from 1961 to 1990 Homo sapiens first emerged 195,000 years ago based on skulls that were found in Ethiopia It took us about 185,000 years to become settled in the sense that we were independent of our hunter-gatherer origins and So during this 185 or so thousand years We really were just managing to eke out in existence and survive If you have a look at the graph during this 185,000 years between our emergence and when things started to change You'll see that the temperature has fluctuated significantly So the experience of these hunter-gatherers is one of living in an environment which had no predictability whatsoever Next year would be totally different to this year Which was different to the year before around about 20,000 years ago Temperatures started to settle and by 12,000 years ago We entered into what we now know as the Holocene which is characterized by very stable climate As you can see in that part of the graph


What was the genetic legacy of the Roman Empire on the territories it controlled? At its peak in the 2nd century AD, the Roman Empire controlled around 20% of the world's population. In my last video I looked at the genetic makeup of ancient Rome itself, but in this video I want to look at the genetic legacy of the Empire more broadly. Now a lot has been written on the legacy of the Roman Empire in general, from improvements in sanitation to architectural, engineering, political, legal, linguistic and countless other areas of life that the Romans, the ancient Romans influenced. But little has been said about genetics. What impacted one of the greatest empires in human history, having the genetics of people who lived under the Roman yoke? Now let's start in Britain. The Roman influence on Britain began in earnest with the invasion of 43AD and lasted for nearly 400 years, until 410AD. The Roman occupation of Britain was not necessarily smooth, exemplified by the fact that they had to build two major defensive walls on these lands to solidify their position, Antonine's wall in modern Scotland close to where I grew up and Hadrian's wall in the north of modern England, which was built as the biographer of Hadrian famously said, to separate the Romans from the barbarians. Now considering that the Romans occupied Britain for hundreds of years, you would probably think there would be quite a significant genetic marker, genetic legacy left by the Romans. But is this true? Well the people of the British Isle study looked at the different invasions and migrations over the centuries of millennia and the impact they had on the genetic makeup of Britain. It seems, however, that there was a very limited genetic legacy left by the Romans in Britain. One theory by this is the case is potentially because only small numbers of Romans actually settled in Britain long term. Furthermore, many people have also argued that even parts of Britain that were technically under Roman control, many rural parts of Britain were probably relatively unaffected by Roman rule and practically on a day by day basis, they lived their lives quite similarly than before. The Romans obviously would have been concentrated in their defence of fortifications in the major towns they built up, but not necessarily in rural communities, and there might have been quite limited interaction between the Romans and the native populations. Obviously in the 5th century AD as well, when Roman rule ended in Britain, yay, all the Roman legionaries and the high ranking Roman officials were obviously recalled back to Rome and redeployed to different parts of the empire. There is much more to the story, however. If we look at another corner of the empire, much more to the east, we see some really fascinating insights into the genetic legacy of the Roman Empire and how the Roman Empire changed the ancestries and genetics of certain areas. Genetic research has been done in the Balkans, for instance, particularly in modern De Serbia, around a major Roman city and stronghold that was established in the 1st century AD called Viminisium, which is near the modern town of Kostalac. Viminisium was the capital of the Roman province of Moisia in the Balkans, which sat just south of the Danube River, a natural barrier for the Romans. A fascinating study was published last year in the journal Cell, which looked at the genetic history of the Balkans from Roman frontier to Slavic migrations. The authors begin by detailing the importance of this region from a Roman strategic perspective. From the 1st to the 6th century CE, the Roman Empire's middle Danube frontier in present-day Croatia and Serbia was a zone of defence, confrontation and exchange with populations living north of the frontier. This region is also a source of significant mineral wealth and a crucial hinge and a 2,000 kilometer long corridor of military and communications infrastructure linking the Black Sea to the Black Forest. Following the establishment of Roman control in the 1st century CE, the region became increasingly urbanized and culturally Romanized. Between 268 and 610 CE, more than half of all Roman emperors belonged to families originating in the middle Danube. Constantine the Great, who was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, was born in Moisia, for instance. But what about the genetic impact, what we're all here for? Well, before we get on to the key finding of this study, the authors initially looked at the potential genetic impact of the Italian peninsula itself on the Balkans, as the authors wrote. Despite the exceptional number of Roman colonies in the region and the large military presence along this frontier, there is little ancestry contribution from populations long established in the Italian peninsula. A pattern exemplified by the almost complete absence and their Balkan on Y chromosome lineage, R1B U152. The most common paternal lineage and bronze age in Iron Age populations in the Italian peninsula. Rome's cultural impact on the middle Danube was deep, but our findings suggest it was not accompanied by large-scale population movement from the metropolis, at least by the descendants of central Italian Iron Age populations. However, what this study did find was that the Roman Empire shifted the genetics of the Balkans in a similar fashion to how the genetics of ancient Rome itself changed during the imperial period. The Roman Empire did, however, stimulate demographic change in the Balkans. In this early period, one out of three individuals, or around 15 out of 45, fall beyond the Balkan clines and PCA by close to Near Easterners, and can be modelled as deriving their ancestry predominantly from Roman Byzantine populations from Western Anatolia and, in one case, from Northern Levantine groups. A very strong demographic shift towards Anatolia is also evident in Rome and Central Italy during the same period, and demonstrates long-distance mobility plausibly originating from the major Eastern urban centres of the empire, such as Ephesus, Corinth or Byzantium Constantinople. Our results show that these migrants had a major demographic impact not only on the imperial capital, but also on large times of the empire's northern periphery. So how interesting is that? In my last video, I showed how research from Stanford University showed that during the imperial phase, the genetics of ancient Rome itself shifted to the east, with a large introduction of Near Eastern ancestry, and a similar pattern seems to have followed in the Balkans. This study also found some really interesting outliers. There was a male, for instance, that had East African ancestry, who was buried with an oil lamp decorated with Jupiter-related eagle eye chronography, a clear Roman symbol. Although too much can be read into this, and we don't know his life story, whether he was a soldier, a merchant, a migrant or whatever else. This fine certainly speaks to how the Roman Empire increased the movement of people around the Mediterranean. Now, I should note as well, particularly because I'm Scottish, that the Romans ended many genetic lines with brutal genocides. For instance, by Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, considered the genocide by many, I know Dan Carlin done a really good hardcore history on the conquest of Gaul, the genocide in Gaul, with some ancient sources suggesting that one million Celts were killed in this genocide, although many have argued that's probably exaggeration to a large extent, but still hundreds of thousands of people probably died in this genocide. There was also brutal campaigns in modern day Scotland, ancient Caledonia to the Romans under Septimius Severus. The many would say constitute a genocide, or certainly had the intention of genocide. In around 209 or 210 AD, a force of around 50,000 Roman troops invaded ancient Scotland to squash a rebellion from a confederation of tribes known as the Mai Tai. As the Romans pushed north, they killed thousands of Mai Tai in Caledonians and a brutal campaign that reached as far as Aberdeenshire. The Romans claimed that the Mai Tai had broken a peace treaty, although who knows if this was just an excuse for conquest. This campaign was led by the Roman Emperor at the time, Septimius Severus, who according to the Roman historian Dyle, gave the following genocidal speech to his troops. We are not going to leave a single one of them alive, down to the babies in their mothers' wombs. Not even they must live. The whole people must be wiped out of existence, with none to shed a tear for them, leaving no trace. It does appear that Dyle borrowed this speech for dramatic effect, taking it from Homer's The Iliad about the Trojan War. However, Severus' orders and mindset were probably not too far from the tone of this speech. This is all to say that despite the allure of the Roman Empire, it was built on the back of brutal conquest in many instances. Now if anyone has come across any really good sources on the genetic legacy of the Roman Empire, please get in the comments below. I'd be really eager to read them. When I was doing research for this video, I didn't find as much information on the genetic legacy of the Roman Empire as I had hoped, and probably for good reason to be honest. Obviously one defining feature of the Roman Empire in general was the fact that they allowed foreigners to join their army, and they were incorporating lots of foreigners into their army, which obviously meant that the genetic makeup of the Roman army was actually quite fluid. There is obviously some interesting insights that we have found, particularly in the Balkans, when we saw a clear genetic shift to the east, with the Anatolia being more introduced into the Balkans during the imperial period, whereas in Britain we don't really see any real genetic legacy left. So it is interesting how different corners of the empire had different genetic legacies. But what about the genetic makeup of ancient Rome itself? Quite a lot of research has been done into this, and there's lots of fascinating insights. To find out more about the genetic makeup of ancient Rome, please click here.

Yeah, I don't have to go to school What is up guys Joe Holland here if you are a returning viewer Welcome back if you are new to the channel. We offer a hearty and heartfelt welcome to you as well We are entering the North Main Woods on a meat hunt trip for ice fishing. That's right We are going to the third biggest lake in the state of Maine at 25,000 plus acres It is 25 miles long anywhere from one to four miles wide Chazun Cook Lake is the name of this beast we're going to and When I say meat hunt, we're gonna try to fill the freezer with short salmon landlock salmon and Cusk One of my absolute favorite to eat also known as the fervent the lawyer fish the eel pout and a ton of other names too We won't get into those but when I say we I got a special guest for me and a special guest for you, too The one and only world famous Johnny Johnston I'm not so sure about the world famous He will be but we're right now. We left Jefferson this morning about seven o'clock We're now we headed to Millinock it came through Millinock in about 20 minutes ago half an hour ago And we are in a beautiful view of Mount Katat We're nearing a ball bridge a favorite spot to stop and look at the view Been by it hundreds of times Seem to stop about every time I come up through here but So we're excited because we're gonna go to Chisholm Cook Village and I have been there several times Somebody canoe going down the West Branch a couple times. We hiked in there before the state put a road in there, which Met some disagreements with Dwellers at the village, but anyway they put it in And we're excited to fish it. I've fished it one other time Maybe twice I ice fishing Probably one of the coldest places I've ever been at the time we came up ice fishing. It was horrendously cold Snowmobiles wouldn't start it was it was just horrible, but anyway, we're gonna enjoy this trip It's much milder. It's looks like a mild week out there So we're just gonna enjoy ourselves and This time we're not camping out on the ice like normal. We have been invited up to stay at a camp Which I'm sure we will enjoy and And converse with the gentleman that we're staying with I am sure has a lot of knowledge of the of the village and Give us a little bit of history and maybe I can add my two cents worth to so looking forward to it and We'll we'll keep going up the Golden Road here. It's a little bit bumpy It's about 38 degrees, which is very mild for for up here And the road is Well, it's just plain bumpy so Stay tuned and we'll see we'll soon be at the packing area where we're gonna be The gentleman that invited us up To take us into the village by snow machine. All right. Well, thanks for tuning in guys. Stay tuned Good stuff coming. We might be able to even set some Cusklines this afternoon and tonight 14 miles snowmobile ride in from where we're parking and we'll bring you along next time you see us We'll be loading up the snowmobiles gonna be hides are off. Donnie. Are you full? Is your sled full? Yeah, I'm pretty full Yeah, I'm good No, I'm good. I think I'm good We should be good then I'll throw Stuff out of truck in there. Well, like I said, we can go We can go 500 miles right what you guys want right? Yeah And these do so the halfs you see that was the way you could get in here real how to pull the loser Yeah, and the old the old the ambulance over here is from Subomac when it was a POW camp The old ambulance sits over here in the back. I was a POW. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah The Germans right they ship the Germans in the cup would yeah Could see there was no up in the middle of nowhere where the hell they're gonna go and all our log cutters were in the in the war Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so the ambulance that sits over here is from Subomac when it was a POW camp There wasn't a tree here. This was all open. It was all fields all the way up to the church not one tree They hate all this. Yeah, Jiro Island was covered in farms back in the 1900s. It wasn't wooded Connected to the mainland 1916 they built a lot of this and it became an island so was that Like houses and farms farms You could look over there and watch the deer running in the fields and the farms like at 1900 if you were sitting But what year did they move the graveyard? 1916 when they flooded when they flooded at the second time when they did rip down Yeah, and they moved all the gravestones up to the graveyard that's still up here There's stones in there from like 1850. Yeah Yeah, it says a lot of history. Oh, there's a lot of history. That's ungodly.  She's all over the snowmobile pages and everywhere What is up guys we made it in we're here at the famous Chazun Cook Village Historic Chazun Cook Village Built in the 1840s. I believe holy cow. There's a church Well knock it or so into the wood There's a church right there. I guess Construction of it. They drug logs across the lake by boat. When was it? Back in the 80s that one was built Portland Press Herald and everything up here on the ice. No way.  How about this telephone's I think you know, yeah Every one of these houses has a old truck in front of it that probably still runs Leave it in the camp Fisheries and wildlife cabin really yep for like wardens and I've been in here for years, but last year they keep Jack the porch Pretty good today. Yeah, they weren't messed around they were One of the original camps that was here. They used to be an in here called the Grindel in And it was it operated it was Like a sporting camp and so this this is original and the last guy To operate out of Tsunka Village lived here. He don't wait. He's the last master guy to operate up here So this was an in for and the guide guided out of it. Well, this was recent that Pete was here I actually found him having a stroke and we got him life-flighted out of here And he now lives in Millenocket a nursing home. Wow two and a half years ago So he was the last guy to operate out of here. Wow That moose antlers carved this is in memory of red red mcnaught and that was he died He owned the old Catan View Lodge and it was Peter Otway's cousin And he passed away and he carved them antlers up in Really Over there I'll wait for Donny. He's missing some of the tour. Oh, yeah I'll see if he wants to just jump on with me It's only that far again, okay?  I Just been tooling along. I didn't know if you were hearing this Okay, so this is the original Simmons camp that now owns Catan View Lodge Bert McBurney built it and Doc Simmons came here and Dale Simmons and Doc started coming in here in the 50s and his father started coming into the 30s That's the history of this one inside is all just vertical law. It's an all-main hunting camp too massive box hanging in there I Can take you in and show you I don't have the key on me today, but if we find time I he said I could open it up show you But what a what a neat camp? Wow, that's cool an old vertical log. Yeah, all the logs are here and built that's it Bert McBurney Bert McBurney that used to run the lake house and Maggie McBurney. I've heard that best They also built the one with the solar panels on it where Bigfoot is. Oh, yeah Yep I Don't know if she's still alive or not as of last year. She was Yeah, yeah, I came to the Lodge you know, he was renting out the large yeah and You know I shuttling people up and down and hauling good Right. Yeah, he'd haul it from the land and way down the other end of the lake all of them in here And she was she would prepare the meals and they would put them up in the in the old house beautiful gardens Oh, yeah You know And then in the offseason when he shut down the lake house He has a camp next to it on the other side of what used to be the lake. Yep, there's winter camps Right, there's winter camp and we came here and ice fished out of out of he had a The one he lived in and then he had another one next door next door. We rented that one. Yep That's what they did to the winner. They didn't run the big house.  Jesus one decade If you ask me dates, I can't remember one that one decade It was it would have been probably In the 80s somewhere that's what I was gonna guess. It sounded like the way they were operating. Yeah Yeah, and he was the sheriff. He was the road commissioner. He had a bull for in here.  He only went fishing if he was guiding He was quite a quite a guy, you know, quite a woodsman and And he could do what one of these guys that could do anything, you know make anything build anything Jack Murphy was was a heck of a woodsman as well. I mean if he came to trapping When people put snowmobiles to the ground stream they gave him that in, you know what I mean, you really knew what he was doing. Yeah You ought to live out here back in those days Right these 60s 70s you had to and there were there were beaver trappers that lived here along that pine stream flowage I showed you Charlie Smith, he lived in birch bark teepees. He had multiple ones all along that flowage We actually found one this fall Burnt hunting we found an old pair of the snowshoes that he used to build out of fur Just pecker poles Yeah, and he would build his own shoes and he had birch bark teepees out there and that's he stayed out there all winter You know Joe Joe and I he got me in through Joe got me in through On collecting axes old axes and we We were talking before we came up here and I said I've been If that band is still standing that used to be in back of the lake house I bet there was all kinds of great northern stuff in there. Oh, and it's it's in the firehouse That's right full of indian tanks and the pips and all No kidding. Oh, wow You could fill a truck little bit. Axes around here where the water's low just the one in the shoreline You're kidding me. Boom chains. Oh, yeah I know there's 2,000 pounds of boom chains sitting right now. You gotta let me know when we can find axons I love axons. We actually went farther than that when the water was down in 2020 as well as in 20 years We don't know the long stream where the old indian trading Because this to some companies where waters meet all these were just rivers and streams And they came together before they flooded it and there was an indian Trading camp at the intersection of all the streams And they all met up and even the french trappers came through It's we actually found some of digging in the shore some old arrowheads spearheads which They claim date back farther than the penobscot indians like way back farther than that Because they were white and bleached out. I mean we found some cool stuff There's there's a lot of stuff here Videos where we I knew where there was a couple old logging camps in the river. Yeah, we we found Many hushu. Yeah And we found six ax heads three of which we could identify still right They had identified my and then you can go ahead and clean them up I and I's them back and really he's pissed them for themselves over there every time they finally clean it up Yeah, so here on the west branch. There was a boom house right at the mouth And that was had a blacksmith shop and everything and then halfway up There was what they called the halfway house or another farm Up towards pitstone farm and then they there were farms and depots all down the river You know and there was actually a land bridge a bridge across the west branch way back in the late 1800s We could drive, you know early 1900s when cars started coming in that you could drive across that river Wow, I wish we had that now because we could jump right over Yes Yeah, and it goes down the old village road and there's still wires hanging in the trees. Really? Yeah, there's old poles Yeah, they had telephone service. You could call greenville from here and the northern had a telephone Set up The lake and I actually called my girlfriend. Yep back home from that call box You know they paid a man to maintain that line He walked that line all those lines that went in by west branch pond on the french town road and all up through here They paid men to walk those lines and cut the trees off them when they came down and maintain them And there's still hanging in the trees around here all the courses. Yeah We found several Yeah, we found a box if you go down the boom house trail where they hike up to the village when they come down the river from the boom house campsite Those insulators are still hanging in the trees. Yeah, where they had the phone lines Those cedar trees will never come down. No, no, and that's what they hung them in. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing I mean this you could You could spend a year here and not touch. Yeah Everything that is to be found Two years ago when the water was low, we went up and at pine stream Falls, they call it on the west branch So there's a set of falls on the flowage But on the west branch is a set they called pine stream falls and when it was low It was ledges on both sides in a real sluice way And there are names carved in the rocks of all the guys that died there from 1860 Yeah, I've got pictures. I've got pictures on you can still read them. Yes. Oh my god. Yeah, you can read the dates Have you read the Thoreau's book the main words? No You want to read it? It's easy reading And it's all about one of his trips that he made down the river here I'll tell you what I did read though is Fannie Hardy, Ekstrom's Penobscot, man. That's a great book It's a full history of 1850 up here at the Lawn Mower That's a great book Right. Well, you read about those guys dying on the river so those names It's from 1850 those are the dates that coincides when John Ross was the driving boss up here and the PLC Penobscot Lumber Company was the most famous river driving company in the country at that time Because they were flooding Bangor Penobscot Bay with all the timber from here and it was getting shipped right over to Britain Yeah I mean it was the you could walk across Penobscot Bay on logs Summer when all the drives came into boom. Yeah, it was all right from up in this area Last year of the pump drive unbelievable Al and I came down through The river was chock-a-block full of pump work. Yeah, I was up in the vial pushing it away from the canoe We get down before the River you know river empties into this lake. Yep.  They called it boom junk. My dad drove one of those boob jumpers. They loaded the canoe Take you down for your job.  Yeah back then there's three and four pound brookies up there I'm going to do that trip in um May first or second week of may we're going to do that with canoes me and jason henry If we're going to find these old spring holes and stuff ledge points that the guys have told me about Well, I bet you could find some treasures. I think we're going to do well We found them old birch bark cabins of charlie smiths last year And how old are they you think from the fifties? It's still how they're still like kind of standing laps now, but 10 years ago.  So it's easily done. Oh, yeah, I just haven't done it yet Yeah, but that's the type of stuff. I'm going to get into this. You want to go out in the backcountry? We're going to the back country. I like back country. Yeah The rose book He had an indian guide from Old town. Yeah The indian actually shot a hoose on that The summer trip up pine stream. Yep. That's where they went to hunt moose And in september they hunted them on the full moon And they just sit in there the indians would sit in there and wait until they heard them walk into the water And then they creep up and shoot them and the water was cool enough that they'd clean the guts out And it would cool the moose right there and then they'd drag it home through the water And that's they hunted a lot there and they also hunted up Cockatoo McGomb extreme But it was so buggy up there and my dad told me that when he worked up there for the northern But they would go up and they would light the peat moss on fire In a big like mile perimeter and it would just slow smolder to keep the bugs away from their camp. That's how they did it They just go up randomly light fires in that peat moss and let it just smolder And that's how they kept the bugs down. I mean, it's just unbelievable the history up here It is Yeah, and then you go back farther than that and I mean this was a major Waterway for the Wabanaki Indians. I mean this was and they still have the The the loop trail they do it We had a woman come through she came all the way from new york by canoe last year And she actually wrote the guidebook That's cool because I got in the guidebook because I you know, we brought her up We gave her a hot shower she didn't see an hot shower in two weeks and Gave her tea and she talked to us and she mailed us the new updated guidebook autographed and she Put in there, you know, like we said It's not a destination to come to but if you're in need look around the village You can probably find what you need, you know, any people will help you out and uh She was a really really neat lady Well, all right, that's the north end. We'll go down and we'll stop the church Yeah, so a lot of them builders they just skid them around Um on lot roller logs. They pulled them On skids with horses, you know across the lake Brent moves a lot of them around with his bulldozer Oh, good luck. It was in the mud. You can see we jacked it up three feet last year. Wow What about these old fords they run? I Don't think so, but they probably wouldn't think much to get them running. Yeah No, no the fella moved down to Bangor Working with him. Yeah, Johnny Kramas. He's moved to Bangor He was in here 40 years. He wanted out It'd be I guess like being in civilization for 40 and wanting in, you know, yeah, I was the opposite Yeah, he was in here. Um He stayed in the first winter. I was in here and then he comes once in a while in the summer in mosa Lon and you drove him out. No No, he wanted he wanted I'm just kidding. I'm just he took it hard when jack murphy died And he wanted to go into civilization He buried in this cemetery up here. Yes jack is yep Now that what about that old camp in the woods that's got a tree on it All falling in halfway to the church No halfway to the church. Oh way up in that that was uh charlie Fitzgeralds And he wants the property to go back to nature And he also owns the one next to where I am the wooded lot in between Wow, the two properties he owns that one and he just wants them to revert back to nature. That's too bad Yeah, there's there's enough nature up here. Yeah, but they're in a truss. They know Everybody's tried. Yeah Take me to church Oh, man, you see that window No way it's in there on the floor. No, come on. Yeah, you hear that dawdy The party's still in there on the floor. Look at that window Oh, Patrick's flight through it? Yeah He's in there on the floor. No kidding. Is he alive? Uh, I think he's in there for a while because there's a poop on the floor, but it's solid now Ouch. He's gonna bring him down to camp and start him out so we can eat him. You can course he can't Yeah, why not right? Yeah So this is we're in the process of doing some restart and I put this new Pressure sheet of decking on last year. We've built that new deck. We've roofed all the buildings You know, basically once a generation it's got to be restored and I'm That's what's on the stage, right? Yes. Yeah, we've done that all up inside nice There she is So all your history is right here That tells about it being on the historic register of deeds And we're gonna have to we're gonna have to look at that this is This is all the donations and everything coming in from you know for last year We uh, we we document it all so everybody gets recognized for the contributions and the The donations there's a crew of guys all in their 70s that built the decks over there Volunteered and more of a remembrance, but this one starts back in Uh, 1868 and goes up now look no trees down on the point. Yeah, I gotta I'm gonna have to say I'm really going through that. Wow. Yeah, look at that, huh? Yeah, you want to know the story on that? Yeah, okay so My dad took a photograph of that in the 71. That's the Hilton toe on a boom and my grandmother Paid Jerry Wayne with that an habit to paint this picture and then donated it to the church In remembrance of my great-grandfather John Clark senior who had the lumber camps at redbrook No, wow. Yeah, my family donated that photo. That is awesome. Wow. Really? You must be pumped to see that. Yeah So this is the bell tower And I'm currently I cleaned everything out of here last year I saved as many of the old school desks from the 30s as I could find. Yeah I've got one more to bring up here And we're going to set it up like the 30s school house. Nice as a little museum Wow, this will come out of here. We've got a blackboard we had made and look at these old desks We have a period piece flag with the proper amount of stars on it.  Yeah, we're gonna put a blackboard up here So we're gonna set it up as the old school room would have been set up kind of as a You know, they wanted to throw these out. Oh, no way. There's only three left in the village I know where there's a fourth. I don't know if they got a part with it He got it away from me when they were cleaning the shed out But I hope I can get it back and have four in here. Yeah, you know And of course, this is the old old bell that's been here since 23 because our 100th anniversary is in 2023 So here it's uh 2023 and we've got the 100th anniversary of the Chisung Cook Village Church Maintained by the Greenville Union Church in Greenville and we're doing a fairly substantial Restore to the Parsonage buildings and the building itself. We need foundation work and I'm putting a new deck on And they're doing insulation and tugging roof pine and we're working on the grounds And uh, we we have services through the summer usually starting around June and go through September We sometimes do one on Memorial Day weekend and anybody interested want to come up and uh See a service or come to the old home celebration. You're more than welcome. You can contact me at john more ii at hotmail.com That's our lower case Or the greenville union church at gmail.com and the whole mission and uh project is being done by donations If anybody's interested in supporting it financially or uh, we look for work parties to come up to and stay a night or two and And uh do work on it. So it's it's a very nice project. We're interested in it. It's been done three times since 1923 This is the third time it's Going to be restored once a generation it's going to happen So we're trying to get involved and get it done for this one. How long's he been on the floor? See Where was that grounds right there? So he came right through the window Now I gotta fix the window and we're gonna see if we can eat him Yeah So these are the old trophies they used to have horseshoe tournaments at the picnic. Oh my gosh. Oh, yeah That's awesome. You probably have to have that again. Well in the hundredth anniversary. Oh wait, we are And the church dare be we're getting it all going again 1994 Yeah, like he pooped over there. So he must be right. He was alive for a while He was alive for a while. He's eaten all the mess. He probably froze death on that cold night. Yeah, so I think he's fresh We're going to take him home for our mountain sea Sides are off. Wow. He is so this is uh old There used to be a pine down on graveyard point. It was famous It was how everybody came up the lake and in the storms you could see that old Hundred year old pine, you know, yeah, and it fell down a few years ago So this is one of the cookies off the limbs You could see the Ansel smith when he settled this place. It was just a little tiny tree And then the first tow boat showed up and cross cut saws in 1890. That's how big You know, how old the tree was rip dam in 1916 1920 uh 1976 the last log drive, but he's got that wrong It was 72 up here 76 was on the kind of that too. Yeah, but anyways, that's how big that limb was in 76 And then it made it to here and it fell over Look how narrow those yes, how tight they were. Yeah Yeah He made that last year Brad Edwards made it for yeah, we're gonna I'm gonna eat him Well, we got never at least Do they do weddings and stuff here Why wouldn't you get married Woman if I if I listen Why wouldn't you get married right here? Get hitched right here.  Let me know You gotta know how to skin or clean fish and skin fur These are all the in Memoria of dedication so the people that have passed from the village And of course, I believe Jackson Murphy's the last one No, Tommy Leroy was the last one The past that we had to put somebody on there in 2021 But when somebody passes there bits in association, they name good thonis plaques. Yeah And I mean they go back When did they stay different yeah 85 they started doing that which is a nice gesture Yeah, you know, you can remember come up look at that remember everybody that was Around This is the old department of conservation bunkhouse. Really the forest rangers used to stay Department of conservation house The bunkhouse now before well that that's an old building And down here before they flooded it moved the graveyard the graveyard used to be down here They moved it up before they flooded it. There was A barn blacksmith shops and a boom house here The great northern operated You can see it from way down what we call the barrel the narrow part of the lake where you can choose to go into caribou Or down towards the dam you can see it from there It was it was unbelievable It came down Too bad No, no it was the department of conservation the forest rangers used to stay there And the the forest rangers they still mow all the campsites out here and everything But they come by canoe and do What's that one? That's how they used to get in here I don't know It could have been I know that Richard parks and john bermbeck, that's how they hauled all the materials in to build their camp Yeah, is in that truck right there. I bet that was bird's old truck because I can remember he had like an old army truck Yeah, that's it and then the the ambulance the old ambulance you'll see up here It came from saboon mc when they had the p o w camps. What's this bfw post number one? That's bfw post number one to sun cut. There's only two members Peter Simmons and john bermbeck Oh the doctors That's cool That is cool That I mean that's that's right up there. You can't tell with the snow, but it's got big dragonflies in it working and red big knot And hauling everybody's propane and thinks he did the propane business and wow and all that stuff back through the 80s Yeah, now we can actually step inside So you can see why they spell it cotton view lodge Oh, yeah, look at that Do you put that tree out there that one? Yeah No, no nature put that one there Oh, really is it growing? No, no that one of all that's a christmas tree the super not always put it out there So people know where to come up the lake now. Oh, that's gone Yeah, that's cool Yeah, so this was rebuilt back in the 80s It's the third building that sat here the first one sat much closer to the to the water And it was in the victorian style of the ones down the road And then it burned and then they built another one and that burned and then this one was built in the 80s And that you can see the cellar hole over there behind the old mailbox. Yeah, there was another building So what was this used for? This one here. Yeah, was ran this catan view lodge sporting camps. Wow. Yeah Oh, look at these old lace gigs.  That's a ring up for bringing out the water after you wash the clothes. Yeah, you're running through the ring Run it through the ring and out of the bucket and it gets in the water. Oh and it clamps to the bucket right there This is a water line. Yeah, holy. We got to rewire it. We want to rewire it and use it.   I've never seen one So this one was from I think 1901 or 1902 and it originally had a little porch on it um, but two years ago Peterson was purchased it from bill haggity and to put the metal roof on it And uh wrap around farmer's porch and metal roof did that really made a difference on the building But that building and and this building are one of maybe in the church I want to maybe, you know, six or eight original buildings left in here. Everything's burned And been rebuilt Log Those bushes in the summer. Oh, wow, you know beautiful coming through here So this is some latch is built by frank laroy and someone by larry and shannon laroy now They used to own metal whistler sporting camps down on second road. I believe or maybe it was third road and Just a beautiful property and that's where I spent my first two winners is in that uninsulated bunkhouse right there Wow And you never the sun never touches that camp from October until June before you get sunlight that hits that camp. Yeah, look at the roof. Yeah, it's just freezing cold. Holy I I was cold. I woke up some mornings and the dog's bowl the water was frozen and You know what I mean? It was like I thought to myself the first winner. What did you do? um You know, this is like survival mode. Yeah That is right on the ledge too. Oh, yeah This is scott smith's property and at one time all this was the same family property That's an old red brook building right there that he's restored Of course, the only new construction up in the back That one was built. I believe by burt mcburni the green one out of parts and pieces So like it's built like three foot on center with the stringers and stuff I mean, I just jacked it last year and put everything back together. So it'll it'll it was gonna come down the hill And this one here is richard parks.  Oh, yeah water coming right out of it. Yeah, that's where all my water comes from Even if it's cold.  Yeah, that's how I I have running water. You just gotta run to get it It's good. Good. Good. Everything. Awesome. Yeah You're trying to get some ice off the roof Well, he's got solar panels up there and sampling dish. So this is the only other year-round resident He's home, huh? Yeah, there's only two of us that live here year-round and that's the other resident john bermbeck How old is he? 74 or five one or the other he's right there. He's probably napping Because that's what they do So this one's been rebuilt there was an original old camp here and then this one was built back in 46 And it was gonna fall over and you see all them cribs under there. Yeah, there's 11 of them I built them. Did you really fall? Yeah jacked it up and Put it on those and I said I'll do it, but I'm not taking them out. That's your foundation. Yeah.

Yeah I wanted to give you guys some light. Yeah All right guys, this is your chance to be a hero. Oh, it is There's no longer Whoa, salmon. I don't know. No, those cops do that. I had one I had one doing it. You just get him landed. Yeah You got you got the ice broke out enough so you can get him up out. She's good any size Um, it's too far away right now. Oh, I feel it. All right. You got somebody reeling there He feels them All right, you got to talk to the camera. Have you ever been on youtube before? Nope. Sweet first time Oh, he's pulling back. Oh, yeah Good one. Yeah He's caught under something right now. Yeah, that's what they did to me. They wrapped it right. Yeah A big one and I lost it. Yeah Oh, no, he's wrapped. Yeah He did did me Work it first.  Are you kidding me? You got him free I don't feel nothing now. Oh, no Oh We'll see you got off. Yep. No, that's what they do. It didn't snap though. I don't think I don't think it's snap No, but that's what they do. They get he might have he might have broke You know if he if he had it wrapped up, yeah, and he's only got like six feet Yeah To pull If it was a big enough if it was big right, it was a pretty good fish. Oh, yeah, it looks like it I haven't had the small ones take on I've seen the big ones And that's but the problem is they go down the bottom find the first log stump rock. Let me teach you a trick Yeah, no, so so you don't ever want to do that if you can help it. I learned this recently So the best way to ever do these Because every time you do that it puts a twist on the line Just take one hand put it right up above it like that so you got tension And then reel and then reel just like that And then you could move the line it comes in way quicker. See how much quicker that's coming And then there's no twist in your line too. All right You got to get the only the only bad part is it's hard to do with gloves, but you can do it And then you just you just get the line back if you can go back and forth on the spool But that won't put a twist in this line You won't break that ice. Yeah, you break that ice. What's the trick? Oh No, rather than wrap it by hand because you you put um Up above to keep tension on it right and then you could move like I'm moving my fingers left and right So it's going on your spool semi semi Especially I do it. Did you get your line back? Uh, I got yeah, I got the I got my hook Oh, no, you need one I might I might have one he's gonna put the hook right through the ice line I'm just gonna hook what you should do. You could do that with class. You should I've done it. Yeah. No, you should what do you need a hook? Yeah, I might have one I'm gonna grab bait. Oh bait. You don't have one. Well, I don't have bait You know, they're here ever this this will prevent that from happening. So are you good there? Is that where you want to be? Yep. All right, so we're going to give them like two feet. Yeah, two to five foot right there And you're just going to take a rubber band and you just pass it through itself like that and then You put that over your spool so So what's good? Let me Yep, so he's gonna See how it's wrapped on the spool like that and then you're going to go back to where your bottom was wherever your bottom was So that's all you can run right there is it's just whatever that amount is So he's going to run run run run run and then it's going to set on them And they if it over eight pounds it'll break that and then you got to go to your whole spool Right, but if he's under eight pounds that sets the hook for him and you don't have to pull back as much and you keep your Hand warm and right there. He'll be right there. He'll fight that rubber band for hours It doesn't that give right so I think What's that?
