Well, hello my friends and welcome back to my channel today I figured I would show you guys how I make a thumbnail for my channel I get this question quite a bit and I'm not a technology channel I probably do this the complete wrong way But this is how I get my thumbnails for my channel to work well for me And I like the way they look so I figured I would share with you guys since I've had this question over and over Throughout the years like I said before I'm not a tech channel Whatsoever, but this is just how I create my own and let's get right into it. So this is my iPhone I will link up in a card somewhere my app Organization or like how I organize my apps. I'm not sure which order I am going to upload them in but I am pretty sure That I am going to do this video a second So anyways, like I said in the previous video if you watched it, this is my photography Folder here So what I like to do is there are two apps that I really like to use especially for my like I like to call them hand videos So these are my kind of overhead shot videos. So the first one I like to use is after light Let's see here. And this is the Photo that I took what I like to do also is I will just take a screenshot on my MacBook Pro In the file that I upload if that makes sense or the file that I download is it download? Yeah, it's download. See I'm not a tech channel you guys So I just take a screenshot of this on my Mac and then I airdrop it to my phone And then that's how I get my image and so clearly it's upside down right now. So when after light I take this little guy right here, and then I can spin it around using this tool So now it is the correct orientation With this little guy over here. See I'm clearly not a tech channel. I don't know what I'm talking about I need the 16 by 9 which is the standard size for a YouTube thumbnail And then I can make this really tiny I can make it bigger whatever I want to do So my main motivation always is to clip out It's kind of hard to see but clip out all of the like surrounding like Mac stuff Like my bottom bar and the top bar sometimes I need to wiggle this around a little bit But I purposely angled this so that's fine It has a nice little grid in here, which shows me what's kind of in the center and things like that So I like this orientation. I like the way it looks already So I did a little check and then it creates the image for me just like that when I go into this little button over here This is going to be all of the imagery so I can clarify it I can make it, you know However, I want to make it if I decide I don't want anything done to this I can just hit this little X and it'll go back to the original So as for the brightness, I usually brighten up stuff quite a bit So I'm gonna brighten this up to I don't know. I think like Like 20 looks good to me I usually like to start with it a little bit brighter because there's a couple of other Functions in here that I play with as well So the contrast I do play with and that's gonna help out that screen just a little bit The screen is really hard. I mean clearly. I'm not a tech channel as I said before but the clarity and the saturation Which now I'm going into saturation right now Really helps with that So it kind of makes it a little bit, you know easier to see and then exposure I do quite a bit of exposure because I like Gosh, I don't know it's so weird like I never really do this with like a phone image and the phone image is kind of weird-looking Usually I do like about 10 on the exposure I'll just keep it at 10 and let's see what happens and then I run all the way to the end here And then I do sharpening as well So let's do sharpening and I do that quite a bit and I really like the way that looks especially on the hand videos and Let me go right back to The exposure again and see what it looks like after I sharpen it Yeah, I kind of still like the original way it looked So we're gonna go with that usually I like this a lot whiter and brighter But since I have like a phone there, it's not gonna get any whiter So anyway now I'm done with this. So we're gonna say done and we're gonna save it and Then now I go into Fanto Which is the way that I lay text over my thumbnails So I'm gonna go into my little camera icon and I'm gonna go to photo albums because I already saved what I wanted And it's right here. So perfect and then you can apply different filters over this stuff I'm usually not a fan of doing that because I've already played with it enough So I'm gonna go with my original image once in a while I do play with it a little bit But and then you just kind of click on the image and then you've right you put add text So here's what I do and this is probably like a really janky way to do it, but I don't care So I use a first of all I use just a little period And then I create about three to four spaces and then I write my text over it So I'm going to write something about dating apps because when I was filming the video It was like almost in every category I felt like there was a dating app and like none of them really worked for me So I kind of was kind of complaining a little bit about the dating apps and I don't know It's just kind of funny. So I'm gonna write so many Dating apps Exclamation point and then I'm gonna do a couple more Spaces and then another period and I'll explain why I'm gonna do the periods in just a moment So another thing I like to do is I like to capitalize all of the words that I use on the thumbnail image I don't know why I feel like it just looks better for me. I don't know you guys might think differently That's okay So anyway now that I have the wording the way I want it That's great and the font you can choose any kind of font you want right now I'm using Anton that one comes with this app There are also other fonts that you can download because I've downloaded several of them over the years But I mean right now I'm using one that's already in the Fonto app. So I just say done And clearly this is a way too big So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go into style and we're gonna go into stroke which stroke means is that we are going to use a color that's gonna go kind of around the text and I'm gonna use Hmm, I don't know. Let's see what color should I use? Maybe I'll use like an orangeish color and then you can kind of play with it the width I usually like about 15 ish or so and I'll show you what it looks like in just a moment because it's probably looking a little weird right now And then you can kind of play with the color to see what you want Actually, this yellow kind of looks really nice So we're gonna stick with yellow and then we're gonna be oh, we're not gonna be done with that yet I'm sorry. See I'm not a tech channel y'all and then as for the background I go with white and then as for this alpha It's at one. So we are going to make that a little bit more transparent and I just kind of Brush it down just a little bit as you can see. I don't know if you guys can see that really well But um, yeah, so usually I'm around like 90 90 to 80 somewhere in there So I like I like the image to peek through just a little bit But not to have it so harsh harshly white as for the size you go into the little size button So I'll make that a little bit smaller here and then I still need to make it a whole lot smaller Let's keep going. Whoop whoop whoop. All right. Oh and keep going again And keep going keep it going All right, so now I'm about where I need to be on this So then I usually make a determination if I want it to be angled or if I want it to be straight on This one I kind of like straight on to be honest And if I want to move this I can kind of bump it up move it over And things like that. So here's the reason why I do the little periods on the side is because if I don't my White background will not it'll only go to the very edge of the text. It won't go further So those get basically deleted or it doesn't show up on the image when I save this So like I said before I kind of like the way that this looks straight on I know I've had actually a couple of questions as to like how I decide What's gonna be tilted to the right or to the left or straight on I just kind of look at it and go Yeah, that looks good. So that's that's all I do So anyways what I'm gonna do now is I'm going to kind of pull this down just a little bit And yeah, I kind of like the way that that looks actually I want to go up just a little bit because if you can see there's like a little Fox ear right there and I want to kind of cover that up because it just looks a little funny and then It looks pretty centered, but I do want to move it just a little bit and sometimes when you use your finger It doesn't like work really well So I'm gonna just push this over just a little bit and that looks good to me Another thing you can do is you can add other images and things like that to your thumbnail So I don't need to do that, but I'm gonna show you how to do it So you just kind of click this a little left hand button. You add an image. I usually go to my favorites That's usually where all of my like Specific like store images are at so say I wanted to use like my own image I could and then I can make this a different size like the FD you know thing But I'm not gonna use it today. So I am going to go and remove that so but you can't put it on there That's how I do it for like my grocery store halls and like things like that So anyway, but I'm gonna go into ad text again And then I am gonna go into my emojis because I want to put in like a little kind of dating thing Because I was just kind of laughing hysterically about that. So anyway, I think I'm going to put in Maybe this one. I don't know. Let's see what it looks like. Oh, that looks kind of funny on here So I don't know. I don't like that one. So let's go back into text Maybe I'll do like a little Kissy thing. Isn't there like a little kid? Yeah, here we go. Here's like a little kissy thing. Okay We could do this So you can make it bigger you can Tilt it so you can spin it around, you know, whatever you want to do. So I think I'm gonna spin it like this Maybe a little bit more tilt that away perfect Let's see. Let's see if there's any other Things that I want to put in here and a lot of times to be honest I already kind of know what I'm going to do with my thumbnails, but not always so I Don't know. You just you just never know how the wind is going to strike you. I think I'm gonna use this one All right, so that this is a funny one. Okay. Good deal.  Normally. I don't I mean, I don't always use emojis I do really like using emojis. I feel like it's kind of more interesting for me to look at I don't know like as a consumer of content. I kind of like that a little bit Let's see here Let me move this a little bit more Let's see Now I'm just kind of messing with things Nope, all right, and this is where like if things are close together you kind of get not in trouble, but you know it kind of Messes with you a little bit. Okay over to the right. I don't have anything and that kind of doesn't bother me anymore There was so much like negative space in between the two that it kind of bugged me, but I think that this looks good I don't know. I mean, it's kind of like a laughing person and then like also like the kid like the little lips are kind of Referencing the so many dating apps So anyway, but I figured this is kind of what I'm gonna go with If I did wasn't showing my phone and it was clearly like technology phone video I would have put an icon of a phone, but it's kind of redundant I feel like in this video or I mean I should say in this thumbnail But anyway, that's how I do it and then also once I'm done I will hit that little thing and I will save my image and it's saved and then Then it gives me an ad but that's all right And then all I do is I just airdrop it right to my computer as I'm uploading and then as I'm uploading I put it on my YouTube thumbnail So now it's in my camera and it's right here and that's what it looks like. So that's how I create my thumbnails I hope you guys enjoyed the video clearly I'm not a technology person and there's probably so many other things and better ways to make these But this is just how I do it and it works well for me if you guys are youtubers or create thumbnails Let me know in the comments down below how you create your thumbnails and what apps might work really well for you I have considered buying Photoshop and learning that but you know It's so darn expensive and I like the way that my thumbnails look just the same So I can't justify the expense, but anyway, let me know how you guys use yours I'd love to know in the comments down below if you like the video. Make sure to give it a thumbs up Can't get it in the frame. Here we go. Make sure to give it a thumbs up. Feel free to subscribe You can always hit the little red bell notification If you want to be notified when I upload new content and I hope to see y'all in the next video Bye guys. Well folks, it's time to kick it old school Ha ha ha ha ha


Come on, I know it's quite late there in New Delhi, but we need you greatly on this issue. So thanks for joining us. Please explain to our viewers the European Union's desperation to incentivize Iran in the nuclear deal after the U.S. pullout. Ron, you know ever since the United States pulled out of the nuclear agreement in May 2018, the European Union continues to desperately try to keep it alive by continuing as much trade with Iran as possible so that Iran has an incentive to remain in the deal. At the same time, France, the United Kingdom and Germany, the E3 nations have formally registered a special purpose vehicle, SPV, as we call it, to help facilitate trade with Iran, trade that U.S. sanctions has significantly hampered while reactions in Tehran have been mixed as I gather from reports. This is a significant demonstration of Europe's commitment to preserving the Iran nuclear deal after President Trump withdrew the United States from this deal. One more thing I want to tell you, Ron, EU's efforts seem to have haven't struck much off a chord with Iran as Iran's President Rouhani announced that his country would end its compliance with the country's nuclear deal. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. as you know have escalated dramatically over the past few months. Iran has said it will scale back some of its commitments under the 2015 nuclear accord and has actually set a deadline to start its own gradual withdrawal from the deal unless Europe can guarantee it can function and survive. On the hindsight, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who's scheduled to travel to Iran next month for talks, he's proposed to act as a mediator between the United States and Iran, though I understand Iran officials refuse to engage in talks with U.S. in the current situation. Future remains unclear with both U.S. and Iran continuing their threats to do each other. Ron. Hey, Montt, truly appreciate your presence for our viewers.


Hi, hi, good morning and welcome to these products in focus. You can see the US 30 there managed to almost edge up Well, actually did get another all-time high there yesterday in a relatively volatile session finishing with other doji formation Just bang on that as potential resistance level at 17 895 Markets probably gonna be relatively flat this morning as we are awaiting non farm payrolls Which is due later on today and unemployment and average earnings So they're expecting a number of about two hundred and thirty thousand new jobs And that's the case that will be the 10th consecutive month that has been over 200,000 jobs created Showing giving you a bit of an indication as to the strength of the US economy and we've seen some very interesting moves in the USD overnight especially in the likes of dollar yen, which is again trading above 120 Which is very very interesting your dollar will be more interesting If it wasn't for the fact that Mario Draghi did not do the widely expected laying of foundations for More and more stimulus which calls a big rebound, but the reality is it's gonna come sooner rather than later But anyway, US 30 springboard potentially 17 895 is a broken resistance now potentially acting as support So looking at the UK from 100 out of pretty bad day yesterday finishing off the lows potential support 6686 we're moving in the right direction at the moment a little bit of a spike first thing this morning But only about 20 points nothing to write home about Potential resistance 6771 to be honest the UK 100 doesn't look that good and this formation right here almost looks like a kind of a double top So we've got a break above 6771 to be able to have a proper chance of continuing on this rally who's right now It does look a little bit top heavy for the UK market Looking at Japan 225 that continue to go from strength from strength obviously in the back of that dollar. Yeah move 18306 is the next potential resistance. We're in the middle of two ranges right now Candle formations here the last three sessions are indicative of buying interest at any depths So Japan 225 looks good going forward. So looking at dollar yen again We are Moving in the right direction above 120 So at 120 spot 20 right now as ever if you've been watching these videos, you know We like 124 is the next potential resistance We are worried that things accelerate too quickly that it could be the very slight chance of Intervention by the Bank of Japan probably unlikely but you just never know just to be careful You could be looking at a hundred pit move in the back of that if it does happen If it goes slowly to 124 then it's not a problem It goes there too quickly and that is a bit more of a problem for for Japan is probably unlikely But it's just something to be aware of if you are currently looking at long dollar. Yeah So moving on to crude oil West Texas looks like this is Precious back on as ever Saudis cut oil prices again to Asia in the US overnight I think they're pretty committed to trying to get extra market share And that's going to add depression to pricing to prices Talking about $60 for Brent, which would bring West Texas down a little bit below 5950 if that if that is the Kind of market floor for these products $64 is the next potential support level and obviously We had that decent bounce there Monday and just had that slow Drift the last couple of sessions. It's a very interesting product to trade obviously a lot of volatility there But West Texas crude is probably one that Many traders out there looking at because you do have these significant support levels there at 64 and 5950 once we get down to there The next potential support is all you know a lot lot lower So that's probably going to be the the level at my trade. We'll be looking at so looking at gold kind of going forwards It's not them that much the last couple of sessions in the middle of two ranges 12 18s next potential resistance 1186 next potential support Bobbering around at 55 period SMA with them They're still to cast that they're still massively overbought the RSI relatively neutral the truth is in the backdrop of the stronger USD and Again more interest rate talk from the US you know in 2015 when they're going to happen and non-farm perils today If that figure comes out particularly strong gold probably not that well positioned. So Has a little bit of an opportunity there for drift back down to 1186 obviously should non-farm perils Massive this point gold could be challenged at 12 18 level. So finishing up with your dollar and cable. So your dollar Incredibly volatile session yesterday in the back of it draggy not laying out any of those Stimulus measures then the news can if they're not the news, but I guess the analysts started coming in saying well Look, they're probably gonna have to do something at early next year So they start to go back down again This presents itself a very interesting opportunity today for traders as we are pretty much bang on that that Highly visible support level there at one spot 2367. We're in the right side of it right now acting as support non-farm perils comes out today particularly good and You could feel another technical breakout Becoming to material life or in about that level obviously if it comes in really badly This is a great springboard for move back up to 125 79. So finishing up there with GBP USD It's on the back foot again Rapidly approaching potential support one spot 55 99 Technicals are neutral again. This looks quite a vulnerable to strong non-farm perils figure as kind of traders kind of digest Osborne's all in statement there. I think there's probably to be able to do all these cuts There's gonna have to It's gonna have to come somewhere and the poor people gonna get hit that level harder So that's maybe not so good from commentators are ripping apart the the Chancellor's plans for His ultimate statement and that's adding pressure on to GBP USD if we break one 55 95 We are looking at one spot 54 24 as an ex potential support. So I come at data wise obviously, you know non-farm perils You've got the trade back one third is gonna be a very interesting time That's UK time nothing out much else to talk about fast forward on to Monday and we've got Chinese trade data trade balance data We've got some industrial production from the US. So it's all about non-farms today We do have a webinar that you can go ahead and join if you go to support and then live trader events Our live webinars attract a decent number of clients there for the analyst to talk about the potential fallout of that figure it comes out live and then you discuss the Kind of the impact of that on those markets following into the rest of the week So as ever keep you on the chart for me getting set apart for that going forward and join me again on Monday to find out What happened next?


the Chief Planner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority, Uma Dussimile. I hope I'll be able to finish it in 10 minutes. Before I start, I would like to have a small update for Tony, that some of the details he has shown about the governance structure, especially the special planning in Mumbai, needs updating. I would like to sit with you and update. I'm just showing the location of Mumbai Metropolitan Region within Maharashtra, and Mumbai is a city of contrasts. We have this as well as that. In India, the metropolitan planning started in 60s, and the various states adopted two approaches to the metropolitan planning. One is adopting policy planning, that is regional planning approach, or very interventionist implementation oriented, development control oriented, detailed planning of a limited area in the fringe of existing cities. Kolkata went for a different variety, where it also looked at socio-economic issues, rather than just looking at special issues. The National Capital Region Planning in Delhi, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region looked at policy and coordination in the multiplicity of institutions that exist in their jurisdiction. The urban development authorities, and some other metropolitan authorities in India, the urban development authorities do exist in several states in India, for most of the cities exceeding 300,000 population. They are all looking more at this interventionist way of addressing the problems of the metro cities. There have been ten five-year national plans in India, and from one to seven, they looked at urban planning or housing as a welfare measure, and therefore did not give the urban development due respect in terms of its contribution to the economy of the nation. The eighth plan for the first time recognized it seriously, and the tenth plan and the eleventh plan actually start talking about urban development as a sector and infrastructure as a sector, and devote serious efforts to detailing this further. The financial outlays for these two sectors together, housing and urban development, have never exceeded 3% of the national outlay. And coming to Mumbai, the first issue in delineating, the first issue regarding Mumbai Metropolitan Region was the delineation itself. The delineation could have been on the basis of economic integration or furthering economic interests which would have run from Mumbai to Pune all along the transport corridor, or it could have been along the transportation corridor linking Mumbai to Gujarat state. However, they looked at the delineation of the region with focus on spatial planning aspects, and therefore looked at mass transportation commuting distance, which actually forms the basis for the pattern of urbanization in the sub-district level regions around the Mumbai city. And therefore it looked at homogeneity in urbanization pattern and included all those areas which exhibited high level of urbanization much above the state's average level for inclusion in the Mumbai metropolitan area. And that was 30 years ago, and now the demand exists for extending this area to certain areas beyond Mumbai metropolitan region, which are exhibiting similar science now. This is the way the region is today. It has four districts. The districts are the administrative units next to the state in India, and it consists of 20 urban local bodies, seven of which are very big, almost larger than 500,000 population, and 13 of them are below that level, up to 100,000 population. And collectively they had, along with 1,000 villages, had a population of 19 million in 2001, which is an additional 3 million by now. And the area is around 4,500 square kilometers. The urban component of the population is 94% in the Mumbai metropolitan area, while the area is about 20%. The kind of metropolitan development authorities in India, there are five major ones, and I could not put together all the data, but what is important is looking at the functions that they are playing today. While all of them are looking at planning and projectization and coordination as the major elements, Mumbai metropolitan region has the specialty of development financing on its major activities. Coming to how the special planning is seen in India, just to go further from what Tony said, we have a three-tier governance in India, central, provincial, which is state here.  That is the level where the state government intervenes, and central government has no role whatsoever in this, except that it has some legislation related to environment which impacts urban development. When metropolitan planning regions were delineated, this amendment to the constitution did not take place, so they were existing in good faith. Once the constitutional amendment came and placed the responsibility of urban planning on local bodies, another tier of metropolitan planning committees was created, and this instrument of planning at metropolitan level is going to be in place in Maharashtra. The legislation has been in place for seven years, and the committees are actually going to be formed, and the nodal institution created for implementing the regional plan, that is, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, will actually be assisting this metropolitan planning committee in this task. The metropolitan planning committee's functions primarily include preparation of plan, and they really do not seriously go beyond that as for the legislation today, but it is expected that in course of time, probably following the West Bengal pattern, the terms of reference of this committee would go much further. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region has a lot of strengths, its economic-based strength, its public transportation is a strength, and the attitude of people here is a strength, and it has a great hydrometric area with three valleys, and therefore a lot of water flows through this area, and it has a great urbanization pattern with 20 large towns located within the region. There are a lot of opportunities of service sector industries getting concentrated here. It has weaknesses of containment of growth, it has hills all around, and therefore it has vast wetlands along the coast, environmentally sensitive areas, so there are limitations to the growth of this area, and it's not being very competitive in the recent past, and we would like to reverse that. Threats are competition from the rest of the cities in India, and the hill ranges in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region are just indicated here, and these are the rivers which are acting as great sources of water supply, and several projects are already marked for tapping these sources and providing water to the entire region, and this single agency established for undertaking the planning and development of this region has a planning coordination and ensuring balanced development as it's mandated, and it has vast powers that will come in the way of undertaking this task, and we had prepared a regional plan in 1973 which was revised in 1996, and which is going to be revised once again in 2011. The first plan of 1973 was reflective of the times of socialistic thinking, prescriptive thinking, and identifying specific growth centers where growth was to be channelized. It did not succeed to a great extent, however in 1996 when we went for a liberalized economy-oriented, market-oriented plan with the plan following the growth patterns that are observed and where market was given freehand and regulatory mechanism was pushed in place rather than prescriptive projectization mode, 10 years later that didn't succeed either greatly. So I think when we come back to our new, sorry I'm skipping some of the slides which explain the land use details, the planning in this region had strength of great town planning legislative framework. It had a dedication institution and there are good institutions here and there is an industrial location policy particularly for Mumbai metropolitan region in place which is environment impact based policy, but we have weakness of not focusing on housing adequately as the Metropolitan Commissioner mentioned in his speech and the approaches to regional planning across the periods are immensely varying and we have inadequate proactive interventions, a lot of them are reactive interventions and MMRDA as an institution is not as adequately represented as the Metropolitan Planning Committee is expected to be. So looking at the performance of the past, I'll just take one more minute. Looking at the orientation of these past plans, we are looking at the new plan to be based on synthesis of the two previous ideas and to be interventionist where regional infrastructure is concerned and monitoring growth trends including economic growth, target and project driven and it has a very sound basis of a comprehensive transportation study which is undertaken very recently and it has all the cities here have development plans prepared. They also have capital investment plans prepared recently and large scale projectization has happened in this region so all of this is going to help us prepare the next regional plan much better.

He didn't have the Kenyan flag. Okay Never comes up. So right now. Are you a dual citizen? Yes, I am I am a dual citizen But this is home. This is my first home and this is always gonna be home and most of my family are here So, so you've told me about your music and you venturing into music and your EP The visuals for all the music video of all the songs done. Yes, they're all done so I've been blessed to work with some of Some of the great minds out there. So I have I've partnered up with my very good friend Daniel Zollinger Shout out to you again. So Daniel Zollinger is a cinematographer and You know an awesome DP. He's done amazing work. He's I mean There's mentionable mentionable movies that he's actually been part of so from transcendence to Maze Runner, you know, like a lot of big movies So, yeah, I guess why me and him are working together in this EP. Yay, so Yeah, the visuals are gonna be dope And I think all I can say is like you're in for a treat Yeah, so normally a lot of artists when they start up in their music career They just decide to release singles and singles until they decide. Oh, yeah, okay It's time for an EP or maybe time for an album. What made you get into just an EP just directly into it You know, that's a very good question. So Like you said, yeah, most people do that but for me, I wanted to work in reverse I wanted to get the content right and then after that Deliver so I decided, you know, we me and my team We decided to work on an EP first and then make sure that it's up to standard Because now the game has You know, the game has shifted now. You have to really really be on top of your game to even Be mentioned out there. It's a very good time to be an African artist The likes of like Wizkid and and burner like filling up stadiums out there. It's amazing to watch And it will be amazing to also have Someone from the east on a lineup like that as well. So, yes, exactly someone from Kenya. Let me be specific Yeah, so that'd be awesome to also have, you know Us do that as well. And I'm hoping that Maybe I might be honored to have that privilege to be one of those people who are gonna also You know jump into that bandwagon and put help put our name out there too because we have Really, really awesome dope content out here So lovins you're here in Kenya. You just landed of course You have a performance if you guys don't know he will be performing at the NSG Concert the pizza and wine concert that's gonna be this Sunday. Yeah, and How does that make you feel you've come and you want to penetrate into the Kenyan industry What do you have in mind? What artists do you want to work with or which artists do you I Don't know just tell me because there's just so much I can say but it's you to actually tell me What you feel about the Kenyan industry and penetrating into it right now I mean the Kenyan industry It's complicated Kenyan music industry is very complicated And it's beautiful so We have amazing talents out here and I feel like in Kenya We've been honored to have very versatile group of artists who can Make amazing music that just sounds so unique from each other, you know and we You know because of how we are I don't I have a lot of names that I can mention right now But I guess we'll please do please do we have all the time actually have all the time for that Yeah, so to answer your question And artists I'd like to work with I guess Nigh boy Now boys really dope and now he goes by worldwide So I guess night boy Is an amazing artist? Why night boy? I was waiting for Some other big names, but you told me night boy specifically why night boy Because night boy, I feel like his sound He he sounds like an artist who he sounds like an African artist you know he sounds like somebody who Has almost the same kind of vision that I have as well because you know his music almost cuts across you know and Yeah, it would be awesome to like work on something with him and see if it can create something that can also like You know bum people can bump up to you know out there So he has hits that have crossed You know a lot of them that I Love listening to and I'd love to work on something with them Artist So yeah, like that's a sound that She stands out in her own way and that's a sound that Cuts across I feel like her sound is something that anyone from anywhere can listen to and And it'll be nice to see Nikita You know jam Nikita's jam being you know on high rotation Out there, so that would be awesome Not only for the concert for how long are you going to be here? I'll be here for over a month over a month meaning you'll have some projects in store for us Would you mind giving us an exclusive of the project exclusive on the project? Oh my gosh, I Don't know if let me see My team am I allowed to say this I Don't know but I'm gonna give you a hint though Yeah, like you said NSG is in the country and you can see that we're performing together You know, it's an amazing show that's coming up So I'm looking at you know, I'd say I don't know I don't know. I'll have to come back with an answer to you I Was the question again Just kidding just kidding. Okay, so which other projects are you planning to do? Yeah, so basically so First we're doing a an African tour. So Me and me and my team we're supposed to be leaving for Tanzania tomorrow actually tomorrow morning and We're doing a whole like media tour in you know, what's a fee Clouds and all of that and then after Tanzania We're going to Zimbabwe and then you're supposed to go to South Africa as well And then back to Kenya and then to Dubai and then back to Kenya So we have a full antenna and in all these locations that we're going to it's media tours and it's collaborations as well Continues an artist or rather he's he calls himself the president of comedy He has won a couple of awards having a president of comedy in Africa and he's Kenyan. Do you know Eric Komondi? So a comedy has been championing 75 percent of to play 75 percent of KE music What do you have to say about that because he's been doing the most when it comes to that protesting going to parliament and at times also, you know Just calling out a few international artists when they're planning to come to Kenya So tell us a bit about that because you are an artist who stays in the US You you did your music in the US, but of course it's Kenyan of course it's Kenyan So tell us a bit about that and how you feel about the fact that a comedy is championing for 75 percent of Kenyan music to be played I mean, it's a very good idea. I mean Basically, he's just trying to say that Foreign music is getting more airplane than Kenyan music from I think from my point of understanding. So I guess I Wouldn't put a number to it or a figure But I'd say that just make it, you know, like if you're playing X amount of Foreign music then make sure it matches your local content as well. Yeah, so just make them equal So, yeah, I guess maybe that's the language In terms of like him going out there and protesting and trying to fight for, you know, local artists rights. I think that's a That's impressive and at least some somebody's making noise about about it, you know because maybe they're not getting, you know, we are not getting enough airplay out here, maybe and Actually, that is true. So Maybe they could bump it up a little bit and just make sure that local content also matches, you know Whatever foreign content they're playing as well. So as long as they match, I think we'll be good So tell us about the songs that are on your EP To start off with the song feel your vibe and the inspo behind the songs and the artists you worked with so Feel your vibe feel your vibe. So feel your vibe is the first single of the EP I'm yet to give that EP a name. I think I might just call it feel your vibe as well But um, yeah, um, that's an exclusive as well actually So, yeah, um feel your vibe The inspiration came from just trying to figure out like a a sound that kind of Matches the east and west because Whether we like it or not west african music Is the music that gets the most airplay Everywhere outside the continent of africa, right? So if west african music is what's getting the most recognition and people are now forgetting about east african music Then there's a gap. So i'm i we just wanted something that would infuse it too And just create something that kind of has elements of both worlds so that People everywhere will be able to kind of resonate With that sound. So that was the inspiration. We were trying to create something That was kind of going to match The east and the west. Yeah And make it african. Yes. So what about the other songs on your EP? Um, so the other songs on the EP actually same thing. So the the The spiel is the same like where we are trying to Create You know an african sound and yes, um, we want to tap into the west and also tap into the east But the thing is with the other songs Um, it's mostly trying to sing for the girls man trying to sing for you guys Yeah Yeah, yeah, I feel I feel like I feel like just talking about real life situations and kind of telling stories um in my songs Is like for me, it's like the best way to do it So i'm just every single song is unique in its own way But i'm trying to tell a story in each and every one of them And then i'm also trying to kind of have something that's a little bit versatile And something that you know, all age groups can listen to as well Yeah, now i'm understanding the link between you the filmmaker and you the artist you are telling a story You're always telling a story. Yes, exactly. I love telling stories. So As artists during the Covid period which was last year and sometime this year we had an actual rough time Yes, so tell us how you dealt with that as a filmmaker as a singer-songwriter How how tough was that time for you? What was that breakthrough moment that you had during that Covid period? Yeah Yeah, um, it was not easy um, a lot of people became very isolated from the world and everything and um I'm not gonna lie. I was one of them. So like Music brought me back. You know music brought me back. So Music was like my safe space. So because I had music I didn't You know, I I remained sane So yes, that's how I dealt with the whole Covid situation. I just decided to You know, I decided to get into my creative Side and work on that more and I put so much effort on that Yeah, so that's how I dealt with it. I made music basically and made movies and made You know I went to the studio studio a lot. Yeah, so you did a shout out to daniel Ali and the show and um How did you feel working with him on your ep and visuals because he's also your friend How was the whole experience for you? So Yeah, um, so daniel zollinger as a professional um knows his stuff so first he's been You know, he's he's worked on amazing projects and these are not music videos. These are like actual award-winning films um, so His wealth of experience plus my passion For trying to put this african narrative out there worked so well together so Yeah, daniel has been amazing so far. He's still amazing and we're still working together And we're creating awesome content. So even right before I came The last day before I got on that plane to come home I was shooting a music video Yeah Exactly Coming into Kenya. Was it so hard because of the COVID-19 restrictions? I mean Yeah, coming into Kenya. Yes, of course because you have to follow all the rules that are set, you know For you to travel internationally right now. So it's it's it's it's much more of a hassle to do it right now um, and um, yeah, so I mean, it's not as smooth as it was before But I'm very lucky enough to also Have an amazing team I hear and I'm gonna give a big shout out to spiked who made sure that my reception in Kenya Was done in an amazing way. So I had an awesome reception out here and spiked is also Pardon parcel of everything that we are working on right now And there's a bunch of other people who are also really helping us too So shout out to Shafi shout out to Ted shout out to a lot of people. I'm not gonna finish all the names right now But thank you so much guys. Yeah So as a representative of the F gender You mentioned about you, um Singing your songs for your female fans. So of course your female fans want to know Are you seeing someone? No, I mean no, it's not me. Don't look at me that way. It's actually It's your female fans who want to know I didn't send on wanted to know did I But you're writing the songs for of course the females and you know the females love Actually, there's something about Amanda things that ladies love. Yeah, so you tell me are you seeing someone? I am so sure with that talent like yours. You have to be attracted Yes, of course, of course I'm I have single I have someone special in my life Yeah, it's very nice So ladies I am so so sorry, but he's off the market. Unfortunately Yeah, unfortunately, so uh, there's been a lot going on in Kenya in terms of the covid and um Apparently right now we have our restrictions that you know at some point it if it reaches some point You're not allowed to to to get access to some facilities or services Because you haven't you know gotten the job. So does that does that also work the same way in us? Oh, yeah, um, I mean us They have been very steadfast in in in how they've handled the whole situation. So like I mean I I'm fully vaccinated. I got my booster shots You know, like it's just how it is They've been a little bit more proactive and it's also because I have access, you know So they've moved in very fast to try and kind of mitigate the whole covid situation But it's still real and it's still doing its thing But they're doing their best to like fight it. So yes, it's it's There's a lot of restrictions in the u.s. As well So One you're from You know, western. So I'm thinking it's this big big causes If you ask me if it's not engineering, um, it's medicine. Nakamasi medicine I Yeah, it's just those big because I'm at lower. By the way, you know, you know, I'm just saying from from That was actually that's very It was very close. It's not law, but I did criminology. That's what I was doing at your end. I had a hint actually had a hint That's what I was doing there before I had to go Chill I want you to help me understand Uh, you studied that but have you did you just did you pursue it professionally? You know, there's the difference of having the academics and having experience. So you didn't proceed professionally No, but I'm actually using it in all aspects of my life right now Yeah, yeah, I did not not professionally. I did not pursue it Yeah, I did not pursue it, but I'm so glad that I went To school and I'm so glad I had that experience as well because there's so many things that I learned there that Is a you know, I can apply. Yeah, I can apply in my life right now. Exactly clavu. Let him talk clavu. Nice Oh, I go there till now. Yeah, everyone's I can go to club. Yeah, I need to go like that Yeah, I go to club. I do actually even now Am I shocked? Yes, I am actually shocked because even now I still go to club He looks like a very distinguished gentleman. So I can't imagine you in club when the fact that you even studied in your and I'm like But at least you studied guys, you see you you can you can go to you can go to the US and academics. Okay, so this is um Dilemma or no, no but this is um theory that you guys usually have that Kenyans to be precise African parents Kenyan parents You have to you know study get some nice nice papers, of course and then You need to also pursue that same career And that's why some people just force themselves to do some courses And then also pursue them and end up being grumpy their whole lives because they haven't done what they've pursued So could you tell the guys because you you've done criminology? But you've pursued film and music and it's doing great for you So could you tell some of your fans who are having a hard time because they're studying something else? And then um their passion is into something else I'd say it's advisable To go with what you're most passionate about If you want that work life balance, it's easier to to work with something that you're passionate about You know, but sometimes situations might force you to Work on something that maybe It will not really be your first choice, but just make sure whatever it is Make sure you you're at least interested in it. At least there's a bit of Passion in it.  That's a very bad idea Because you might pass. Yeah, you might pass and and and go out there But I think you're gonna have a very miserable miserable life So, yeah, just at least make sure you're a little bit interested in whatever it is that you're pursuing And that way You'd be able to survive I think Why is the words from a wise man who is who is doing Be most when it comes to everything he's doing right now and uh before we Conclude our interview. I'd love us to have a this or that I'd love to know your preference in a lot of things Your female fans would love to know not just to me. I'm speaking for all of you.   I don't even understand So you tell me do you love a girl who's bold monia? You don't have to pay for salon all the time or you don't have to do what Or a girl who's um Just she has some nice nice nice nice head To me I'd say Of course everybody has preferences right But to me I think I Prefer someone who feels great in their own skin Okay, someone who feels great in their own skin so Yes, so if if if you have short hair and you're very confident about it and you've like Your well put together and you feel awesome in your own skin go for it If you have long hair and you know again, then that's what works for you and you feel amazing about yourself With that go for it. So that works for me as long as it works For you and you feel great in your own skin. I'm going to repeat that again Then this is why lower men only gives uncle a to box. This is why Now I understand why ladies say lower men are very romantic It's because you know, they just let you do what you want to do But since you have had me like this to that question. Let me ask you there's a lady who has brains but she's uh Okay, I would say disadvantage and it comes to the beauty And there's a lady who's very beautiful. Oh my god. She she walks never just turns to look at So do you prefer a lady who has beauty with brains?  Um I mean beauty and brains always works Oh my gosh, I have to choose one I'll go for brains anytime You know, brain someone can actually be taught and but anyways, that's his choice. That's his choice No, that depends with actually what you mean when you say brains You know, yeah So That depends with actually what you mean When you say brains Okay, so let's come back to our Kenyan artist Uh, right now I can't compare these two but unfortunately you have to Uh calligraph on your shinski I'm a little bit speechless They're both great I'll go with your shinski I saw that coming but um, there's Heart The Band and there's Matata Um And they're amazing. They're an amazing group. Both both groups are really amazing So which one would you rather do a collaboration with almost immediately? Matata Why is it Matata or is it that they're also foreign-based? But they're Kenyan or why why is it? No, um, I feel like they They've tried as much as they can in as much as maybe they're not based here But this is it for them, you know, like they've not forgotten their roots And it's very easy when you're out there to just be like to get comfortable You know in in a different world because maybe she might be working out for you out there and forget where you're from so the fact that they've not forgotten their roots And they're trying as much as possible to still connect With home that drives me. So yes, I'll collaborate with them because we share that same passion Before we continue, please just please Sing a Matata song a Matata chorus a Matata verse just anything Anything so which one? Oh my god. I have very I have all these songs So you know all their songs Even maybe some that you've not heard before Even the latest EP Take it away.

changes an entire trajectory, trajectory of a day. Also, I think I've been my sound like four times, but I have no idea because I cannot feel it. Anyways, um, yeah, sorry we've been gone so much. We're doing a countertop down in Lower Alabama, and we finally got that completed. It looks gorgeous. I've been editing down H&N a Video for you guys for that, but it's just not done yet And then I had to go get a root canal today And now I can't feel like from my temple There's all of this even my eye is tingling anyways um That is not point of this video also Hey, I know it's gonna be a great video and um I can't wait to show you guys. It was a whole process because it's a porn place and any time you do a porn place It's like a whole deal But it's gonna be a shorter video today because I can't really talk and I have to get caught up on sending orders It feels weird, so I know it looks like super weird. I know tomorrow Or whenever this wears off like but anyways So I wanted to show you guys some new clear shapes that Jeff is cutting They look amazing. I literally just walked in so the dogs are still At a thousand ps Canvas decided today. She's gonna eat one of my remote So these are three of the new shapes Jeff is designing we have a thing Ray I I was thinking that it Anybody else just walk around their studio sometimes and get colors on them that you're not really sure What's up Jennifer? Just me So I thought initially that this I think is about seven inches is too big for a coaster But it's really not because you want to have like that larger surface area. I Would turn Yeah, no idea what it is Babe go lay down. I Hope you're having an awesome awesome day today Where was I? So yeah, I'm a little bit out of it because of going to the dentist and I can't really speak Correctly, and I keep biting my tongue, which I can't feel right now, but I know that later I'll be paying Dearly for said tongue bite In the meantime, I'm just gonna show you guys these new shapes that just that so when you get some of our clear shapes like this All you do is you feel one side all of them have like this brown paper backing so that when you Art on one side you peel it off You leave one side, and then you art on that side the one that you peel And then after it's cured you feel the other side, and then you have a no cleanup Coaster which if you're anything like me the cleanup is Easily the worst part of creating anything Just means cool, and he did a flat which is very much something that I love because I put flats and flutters on all of my like My artworks. Oh just just part And so you do it just the same you feel one side off, and then you leave one side on and then after security peel it and Then you have a no cleanup coaster. I always stuff these just a little bit to create a more of a tooth funny choice of word this post and Having toothed prob And anyways the last one is I Don't know what I don't know. I don't I don't know what Took us so long to do a pilot But here it is Even there's little etching Where the little dots of different colors would be Stanford does gonna be a super quick live and the only reason why I'm here is because I miss you guys and you guys always Make me feel better. So I Wanted to come in and Say hi and show you guys some of the new news So since they're just etched in you have to like take You have to pull the little dots off separately, but I just used an exacto blade What's up DJ for loops? We haven't missed you. Sorry. You're here on such a quick live type day But I'll be back live tomorrow with not a school Wednesday's Chillin chillin is amazing So yeah, I can't wait to art on one of these and I'll be back live tomorrow and I'll I'll art on Some of these new bad boys as soon as I'm off the live I will upload these to the website, but how cute are those? It even fits my thumb But anyways, these are also co-serts, but I've told you could like Do whatever you want with them if you wanted to get crazy like place of place you could have like a big Something I'm gonna have to tell him to etch it a little bit more deeply because y'all don't look at my nails There because the etch the etching has gone through on some but not other so I will do some quality control checks before I Send these particular co-sert out, but definitely super into these guys and we're thinking about doing these Clear shapes in a larger size. I don't know if that's something that you guys are interested in like cradleboard size Let me know down in the comments below the video. If that's something you're interested in and I will get to loading these up in the system Right after I take some I'd be hoping because that no bikain or whatever it is that they give you a shot though Starting to wear off and I'm scared I'm just the worst How sick are they they would be great Router templates for inlays. I am not sure what that means But these ones in particular most of our coasters are eight inch, but I can cut I have access to This type of plexi that goes as thick as a quarter inch So we stock eight inch three sixteenths and a quarter so ultimately if you want Something like this that's a particular thickness or size Shoot me a message or when you order them like put in the notes up there that you want a thicker Plastic or whatever it is you're working on. I'm really excited about pouring on a slot because That's very on-brand for me as an artist personally But I understand that these shapes are not for everybody. That's just what I'm super into There's a classic artist nails me proud. At least there's no like Weird color paint stuck under them. I've been doing something a little different. I've been working on like hyped flowers So I've been working on like hyped flowers, I don't know if it's something that you guys even are interested in seeing but Working on that to kind of better my bees in any case Yeah The whole point of the video is to show you guys these things the pubs are gonna get real out in the second cuz that's home So I'm gonna let you guys go But I really want to know what that Maria I Really want to know what you guys think of our new shape if you have a shape that you have been wanting that We don't have available.

I'm the Whistler. And I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales, hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yet, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Tonight, it's the Whistler's strange story, a present for Ricky. Congrats. The spotlight subtly changed from white to a delicate blue, and the Small Night Club Orchestra slid into three-quarter time as the dance team began their waltz. The Croydons, Clyde and Marie, had held top-filling at the club for almost a year, and it was well-deserved. Drinks stood unnoticed on the table. Conversations stopped. Everyone now was watching the Croydons, or rather, Marie Croydons, slim, graceful, blue velvet Marie. Smiling as she spun across the floor, poised for a moment, and floated effortlessly back to Clyde's waiting arms. The customers loved it, felt that there was a first-time look about it, even in the way they murmured to each other as they swayed gently together in three-quarter time. You're on your toes tonight, each one. Oh, you, why did I wrong for a change? Take it easy.  Yes, the customers loved Clyde and Marie, husband and wife, quiet maturity and breathless beauty. And at the same time, on the other side of the room, a theatrical agent named Stanley Craig appraised the Croydons a little more critically. You like air, eh, Stan? The girl's good. She just needs a young apartment. The old boy slows her up. See what I mean? Well, that's been. That's just too old for her to kill in the act. You wouldn't be fixing to cut him off with the ankles, would you? What do you mean? You just might be promoting the lumber expert you just picked up as a new partner. Name's, uh, Ricky, eh? What if I am? He's the boy who can do it. He's young, Mike. He's got looks and youth. You see what I mean? All right, Marie. Let's get it over with. Get what over with? Your nightly speech. That crack you made out on the floor. Oh, that. Yes, that. You like my hair this way, Clyde? I'm waiting, Marie. Oh, forget it. I don't want to go through it all again now. I think it's time we had it out. Listen, Clyde, why are you trying to kid yourself? You know it can't go on like this. I don't know. You just got a pretty good hand. You mean I got a good hand? You might as well admit it. I don't think that's quite fair. Well, it's true, Clyde.  You wait a minute. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe we better have it out right now. When I pick you up, you would nothing. Get her, bug-champion of West Washington Heights. Why, in five years- Don't give me that loyalty, Fitz. I've heard it before. If you really want to talk about loyalty, let's talk about your first wife. You forgot about her in a hurry, didn't you?  It didn't matter to you then, did it? No. Sorry, baby, I gotta get rid of you. I know it's tough, but it's show business.  What makes you think I'm old? You're forty. Well, that's too old for me. That incidentally is not just my opinion. We're talking about it in the trade. Who's talking about it? People ought to know. Telling each other I'd be on top. Had a partner, these bones didn't creak. You got somebody in mind? I might have. Well, forget it. I have no intention of letting you go. If there's a partner or there's a wife. You're too much. Without me, you would be right bottom billing at a third rate for less in Jersey City. That has nothing to do with it. All right, give me a better reason. Over there, on the table. The roses? The roses. That's the reason, Marie. These roses night after night. The same card, Ricky. Who is Ricky, Marie? One of the customers who likes my dancing. Is that all? So far? I think you're in love with him. That's what's behind all of this stuff about my dancing, isn't it? You love this guy, and my dancing is as good an excuse as any to... Who is he, Marie? Ricky. The name is Ricky. What's his last name? It's none of your business at the moment. I think it is. He's a dancer, isn't he? Yes, inspector. He's a dancer. And we might as well end the third degree right here.  Don't get away with it. I won't let you. My career doesn't mean anything to you, does it? Only when it affects mine. That's why you married me, isn't it? For the effect I have on your career. You married me for the same reason. Maybe I did, but the reason is gone now. I don't need you anymore, Clyde. I need Ricky. Now you know. First handle the whole thing reasonably, shall we? We'll wind up here in another week.  Then I can find myself another clutch. Now that it takes too long, I can't start all over again now. I guess I'll have to start at the other end with Ricky. I'll look him up tomorrow. You don't even know who he is. That's a pretty good idea, who his agent is. That ought to get me somewhere. Stan Lake Craig, isn't it, Marie? How did you know? Stan Lake Craig, theatrical agent. You shouldn't have left his card on your desk yesterday, darling. Clyde, why don't you do anything to Ricky? You do love him, don't you? All right, I love him. For the last time, what's it gonna be? Ricky or me? I've already told you. Nothing can change a child. This is our last week. All right, all I wanted to know. In just 30 seconds, the Whistler will continue tonight's story. Don't be half-right. Use you, Soffie. For example, would you say that the use of calendars goes back 1200 years? No, that's only half-right. Brush up on your ancient history. Tell your I and E officer you want to study with the United States Armed Forces Institute. Use you, Soffie. It's easy. It's simple. If you don't want to be half-right, use you, Soffie. Now, back to the Whistler. Her mind is made up, and you know Marie well enough to realize that nothing you can do or say will change it now. And everything she said was true. Without her, you're nothing. There'll be no more top buildings at a thousand a week in expensive night spots. No more polite applause from the cafe society crowd. No more penthouse apartments. Nothing but a seat on the sidelines, while Marie and Ricky drift across ballroom floors, on and up to the top. Get early the next morning when you leave your apartment by the private elevator. And 20 minutes later, you walk up a flight of creaky stairs to Stanley Craig's office in the West 40s. Yes, sir. What can I do for you? You're Stanley Craig? That's me. Pull up the chair. Thank you. I thought I might be a little early. Hey, I didn't recognize you for a minute. You're Clyde Croydon. I saw your act again last night. Really? Yeah. Good act, too. Thank you. What can I do for you? Answer a few questions. Sure. Clyde, too. You manage a dancer named Ricky? I see what you're getting on. Yeah, I manage him. No boy specialist, no numbers, and sign dolls. We find dancers. That's what Marie tells me. They make a great team, Mr. Craig. Ricky, Marie. She's not at liberty, Mr. Craig. She's my partner and my wife. I must admit this sort of thing going behind my back. But I'm sure she resents it, too. That's not what Ricky tells me. Well, Mr. Croydon, you've been in the game long enough to know what youth means in a dancing. I don't think you're being very fair to me. If she goes for it, I guess Ricky will be a new partner. There's just nothing you can do. I would like to talk to him if you don't mind. Sure. Just say when? Today. Where is he now? Out in the park somewhere. He walks for two hours every morning. Good for the legs. Alone? You had to find another guy who would knock off eight miles in the park before lunch, don't you think? Yeah, he's alone. Well, does he come here after his walk? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Might be a couple of hours. I have all morning. OK. There are new varieties on the desk. You'll be alone here, no one to bother. Thank you. Uh, it is, man. Sure. Oh, Mr. Croydon. Yes? No hard feelings? Right. No hard feelings. No Clyde, no hard feelings at all. Just the amazing realization that's not one minute ago as you talked to Stanley Craig, you calmly, unemotionally, coldly decided to murder your wife, Marie. There was no shock to it at all. If it is that it's been there all the time in the back of your mind, waiting to be formulated into thought. Yes, Clyde, you are the man at Craig's office alone. Ricky is walking in the... Marie is at home alone. You realize that something like this might not happen in a thousand years. If you're going to do it at all, Clyde, you've got to do it now. On the top of the file cabinet, you find a package of Stanley Craig's letterhead on his desk about her typewriter. In your pocket, the card signed Ricky that came with the flowers. And most important, in your mind, an idea. Marie, my darling, it is useless to try to put this into words. I've told no one of your decisions to stay with Clyde because I know it isn't final. That you love me and always will. That the only future for either of us is together. You finish the note and at the bottom of it, after all my love, you carefully copy Ricky's signature from the card. On the desk is a sharp letter opener with Stanley Craig's name on it. That's part of the tool card. You put it in your coat pocket, ready when you need it. Now, back to your department. You still have over an hour and you know Marie will be alone. Hello, Marie. Oh, where are you been? You know where I went. Did you see him? Ricky. Who else? He wasn't there. I think he was taking his morning walk in the park. Remember when we used to walk in the park together, Marie? You're breaking my heart. I want to show you a letter. Huh? Yes. Read it. It's addressed to you. Marie, my darling, it's useless to try to put this into words. I've told no one of your decision to stay with Clyde because I know it isn't final. If you love me and always will. Oh, but Clyde, this is ridiculous. Go on, Marie. Read the rest of it. Hmm? Me too. Always will. If the only future for either of us is together, you must believe me, darling. I'd rather die than have it any other way. I'm coming to your apartment tomorrow morning at 11. You must decide this once and for all. All my love, Ricky. The matter, Marie. Oh, Clyde, that's the funniest thing I've ever read in my life. What are you doing? It's a present for Ricky, darling. I'm afraid either. What are you doing with that letter? Open it. It's going to the chair, Marie. For your murder. Come with me, Clyde. Clyde, please. Please. Oh, Clyde. No. Still around, Mr. Croyde. Yes, still around. I'm beginning to wonder if Ricky will show up at all. Anybody call? Not unless they called while I was out stretching my legs, walked around the block a couple of times. Sorry, I had to wait so long. Oh, that's all right. It gave me a chance to think things over. Is that good or bad? I think it's good. I decided it's wrong for me to try to stand in the way. If this looks like a break for her and Ricky, I think they deserve a chance. I was hoping you'd see it that way. Thanks a lot. Well, I'd better be going. Tell Ricky about that when he comes in. Sure. They're going home? Yes, I think I'd better tell Marie. Police headquartered. This is Clyde Croyden. I live in the penthouse at 1232 Warwick Place. 1232, that's right. Please send somebody up here as quickly as you can. My wife has been murdered. Feel better, Mr. Croyden? I think so, Sergeant. That's quite a letter we found on the waste basket. What do you think of it? I didn't know what to think. You knew what was going on between this man and your wife? There was nothing going on. It was all in his mind. What do you mean? Look, I've never seen this Ricky. I don't know who he is. All I know is that he started sending Marie flowers after every performance. He had some crazy ideas. She was in love with him. It was ridiculous. She hardly knew him. And what about the dance band? That's part of it too. He thought she'd leave me and team up with him, don't ask me why. But she laughed at him. That's as good a motive as I've seen in 20 years. You know, it's a wonder he didn't leave a confession note right on the table. He left everything else. First-class motive, the letter in the waste basket, the knife that his manager's name on it from the butchers outside.  Honey, how a murderer's mind works, isn't it? Yes. It's hard to understand. By the way, Mr. Croydon, this is only a formality, of course, but it was you yesterday morning. In Craig's office waiting for Ricky to show up, Craig seemed to think she'd go for him as a new partner, and I finally decided to go down and settle it. Have any words? I just told him if it was all right with Marie, it was all right with me. I knew, of course, how she felt about him. Where was Ricky at the time? Walking him apart, exercising his leg. Alone? I guess so. There it is again. I bet the guy hasn't even got himself an alibi.  The boys are looking him up now. Did they ask me, Mr. Croydon? That guy's a dead pigeon. All of us are proud of our hometowns and rightly so. In this brief moment before we continue with our program, we'd like to offer a salute to one of our hometowns in America, Cleveland, Ohio. The seventh largest city in the United States. Cleveland was founded in 1796 by General Moses Cleveland, chief surveyor for a land company. His employers bought 3 million acres in what is now northern Ohio, paying 40 cents an acre. Just by way of comparison, an acre in downtown Cleveland today would bring some 2 million dollars. It is an important great lake shipping point in the site of iron and steel manufacturing. Other Cleveland products include paint, varnishes, electrical appliances, chemicals, and automobile and airplane parts. It is well known for its cultural developments also. The city owns and operates its own dramatic theater, and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra is widely acclaimed. In the Cleveland cultural gardens, a mile-long strip of park area, more than 30 nationality groups represented in Cleveland's population are creating gardens as memorials to peace. 120 years is a short time in the world's history, but during that time, Cleveland has taken its honored place in the building of America. And now back to the Whistlers. Well, Clyde, all it took was a little nerve. You're over the hump now, all ready to act as number one witness for the prosecution in the case against Ricky. Tomorrow the story will break into papers, and the notoriety that public sympathy over your bereavement should make it easy to pick up a new party, one who'll keep you in the top spot in Penthouse Apartments with private elevators. Yes, Clyde, you can relax now. You've decided it's all over. Oh, Sergeant. Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Croydon. I was about to go to bed. Anything wrong? We've got Ricky. Oh, good. Yeah, just finished questioning him. Mind if I come in? Not at all. Well, we checked the note against Craig's typewriter. That's where it came from, all right. Then it looks like you've got a cake. No, through us a curve. For a while. What do you mean, for a while? Until we found Ricky. He claims he didn't write it. Lord, what did you expect him to say? In just a minute. I'll show you what I mean. Come on in with him. Mr. Croydon? This is Ricardo Montez, also known as Ricky. He did it. He killed my wife. He wrote the note. No, sir. Wait a minute. That's what I mean about the note, Croydon. The boy doesn't know a word of English. We checked that, too. But there was another thing about that note that really tied it up, Croydon. If he could have written it, he'd have signed it in his own handwriting. But it was his handwriting. It was his name, but the florist's handwriting.

Hello everybody, welcome to the money live stream and a lot of things to go or so let's just jump right in so first of all I think unless you haven't looked at your portfolio today You're probably doing pretty good And it's one of those great days these the days that I actually like to come on and talk about the markets because Everybody's a good mood why they had a good mood? Well, it's because numbers go up and that is fantastic and this was Just today that we saw that Bitcoin broke out above 50k now. I'm sure everybody knows this but Just so you know that people will take profits and They will continue to do that across time frames So even though we go up to 50k and it would just seem like well Why wouldn't they just hold the 60k or a hundred K or 300 K or whatever the new price prediction is? It's because there's people out there that will still take problems and we preach on that here But I mean it's whatever you want to do so today is a great day We actually went up to I think the top was fifty thousand two hundred fifty-five as it says here But of course this time goes on People have their limit orders in they have their sell orders in and once it hits that magical 50k number Then there's a sell-off and that usually happens in the big price points Now I'm here to predict every different sell point that's out there But it is a great day and it got me thinking today about this Which is pretty much the whole reason why we're here Which is I think we're way ahead of schedule and there's a couple of reasons why we're ahead of schedule Why I think we're really gonna crush it in this and this bull run. I think it may be pretty Astronomical and I hate saying that because it goes against everything that I'm trying to do which is calm people down and not get crazy, but There's some good evidence out there. Anyhow, so we actually talked about this nine months ago nine months ago I said, hey, there's something going on because we're way ahead of schedule and of course the Bitcoin cycles And we took a look at it. I took a look at in the four-year cycles Of course, there's always the having then we have a all-time high and a dip and a reset and just repeats and repeats and repeats And I took a look at the different having years 2012 2016 2020 and I said just this last one on 14th of February 2020 we were at $10,000 and Of course then in March or so we got the surveys of sickness and it dropped off a cliff And I don't really I mean you could you could discount that but it is what it was what it was But then as we went into the the having which is around May or so we were around $10,000 again Which was 50% of the all-time high of the previous cycle which when we in 2017 we had around 19 around 20k Okay, let's just keep it round was 19,770 something like that no big deal So we were at 50% and we took a look at 2016 and we were even less than that and of course we looked at 2012 was kind of wacky numbers because it was the first one But today, I mean if we take a look at it 50k of where we're at Oh, we're not even at the having even if we plateaued. I don't think we're gonna plateau Half of where we were at $67,000 that's roughly 33,500 that's where a roughly we should be or lower than that Going into the having and we're not We're at 50k and we've been Flexuating with nowhere near 33k down to 47 8 actually 44 45k somewhere around there. So again, I think it's just I mean We're massively ahead of schedule. That's just pretty much how it is again This was a video that we took a look at nine months ago and then just last week Last Sunday not this Sunday but the Sunday before last we talked about Lumpsum and going in a little bit more, you know a little bit more so instead of dollar cost averaging the reason I talked about that was because Again, we were talking about things are just ahead of schedule things could have gone terribly wrong and that's assessments We could have dropped 60% or 80% or went to zero which I it's like I have to say that I know I think it's the most ridiculous thing But you know, I talked about it for a couple reasons one. I thought you know, there's These ETFs are gobbling up everything we're gonna take a look at there was a video that's Anthony pomp liana was on pomp liano pump and He's made some pretty good points in a minute and a half And we'll take a look at those ETFs and just how it's just essentially eating up the Bitcoin world And then of course we'll take a look a little bit of macro and of course the jobs and M2 money supply and and of course the traditional markets we take a look at S&P 500 which we want a second It's everything just kind of lining up right now. So I said I go it would probably not Be too bad for me. I don't know what you're gonna do my official visor But to do a little lump sum action and there's a couple reasons first because I said if you do that before the halving You're doing pretty good and you still got time if you want to do that like the halving should be around April 20th correct me in the comment section and then You know when we're talking about this for the lump sum is also another reason why I said it And one of those big reasons is because if you lump sum now into a dollar cost averaging That's not what I'm telling you to do. I'm saying what I do is that you avoid these things called capital gains because here's what I worry about On this channel We talk about taking profits if you believe in taking profits at some point along your journey because you're like hey I need a kidney or hey I have massive credit card debt or hey, I'd like to Fill in the blank whatever else it is So in that situation you probably want to sell your crypto along the way and that could be Bitcoin That could be altcoins whatever else it is if you do that before one year's time in America I don't know where you're at But like for example in Germany if you do this less than a year You have short-term capital gains if you sell after a year in Germany as I am as I understand it There are no capital gains in America if you sell after a year These the capital gains rates that you actually have run a progressive tax scale, right? So for here the most you're gonna pay depending what state you're at 20% got it if you do this and sell Your crypto at some point within a less than a year. It's whatever brackets. You're at you could be at 54% or whatever it is you could be at 34% plus the state tax Which would means that you would have to pay 50% so the reason why I was talking about this last time these lump-sum videos Was just because I'm like hey There's problems afoot and these things could happen and nobody talks about taxes I mean very rarely on the crypto channels But it's something that you have to be aware of if you want to be a successful investor So there's that option of course and then also you can also do what I do up above my my enormous head I trust capital where I have everything and not everything. I have a Roth IRA which not a molder I get to actually Put into $7,500 and there are no capital gains on that even if I trade within the account You want to take a look at that links in the description remember? There is a limit to that and that is coming up on April 15th If you want to do those things for the fiscal year of 2023 anyhow Again, I was I think that we're ahead of schedule I think there's some some big plays be had and this is my man Dan gamberdello At crypto recruiter but CCV great guy great channel Can't say enough good things about him. There's a link in the description for his ex account Which he's got a lot of great information, but he he says this Every time since 2013 Bitcoin has closed a monthly candle above the bull market doors Bitcoin has broken all-time highs within one or three months. Let me say that again If it breaks out above the bull market doors We hit an all-time high within one or three months. What's an all-time high? That's $67,000 for Bitcoin Can you imagine what your alts are gonna do? We're gonna go crazy because remember It's great that Bitcoin is doing this But what comes next it's alts and that's just pretty much how it happens people put money into money to Bitcoin as it goes Up they take a little bit of profits They stick it into alts high cap or large cap and they take profits in that and put in a small cap And they just keep recycling and recycling so everything Bitcoin's going great. It is watch out for alts Anyhow Breaking the doors this cycle means Bitcoin closing above $57,000, which is not an easy thing to do But we've been doing pretty good. This has always occurred after the Bitcoin having again always occurred after Bitcoin having and you can see that at the end of the year but Imagine if it actually happens before April 20th of this year and we close above 57 K That would mean that March would be a heck of a month and we'll see so it leads you to think about this Well, if we're doing good, how are the other markets doing in the macro world? Well, S&P 500 just broke its all-time high S&P 500, which is buoyed by the magnificent seven essentially the NVIDIA's the Facebook's of the world's Amazons it's seven huge large stocks that do fine, which I'm not here to debate anything about that I'm just saying that if we take a look at the max of the S&P 500 We're at an all-time high for that Which means that's why we have a lot of that overflow from traditional finance getting into our market Which I have no problems with I have a big tent You guys can come in and do whatever kind of buying that you want Of course, you're gonna dump But that's just up to you and then we take a look at the M2 money supply This is from Ben's website and the cryptoverse. I didn't realize this but the M2 money supply of course Savings of positive money market securities and time deposits such as CDs and everything else in between We can see that actually we had started to print a little bit more. This is october 2023 We went up to 4.12 then in december 20.865 trillion I should say and then of course, I don't have any data for january But I'm just guessing maybe we print a little bit and that always helps with the liquidity in the markets Stanley drunken miller said it very easily. He says it's not about Everything that that's going on and the PNL and the different things and documents that you look up for for companies It's actually just takes a look at liquidity and what the federal reserve is doing If you follow the fed and see what liquidity is happening You can pretty much figure out what's happening in the markets. So I like that And now the coup de gras Was actually been going on. This was a pretty good piece From the pump anthony pompiano and he was on cmbc again And he said it pretty poignantly about why this is happening and just how much Traditional markets are in love essentially with bitcoin so take a listen to this this is about 45 seconds to a minute And we'll come back and we'll finish up because I think really comes down to the in and outflows of exchanges Which i'm going to show you some on-chain data in a second. So take a listen oops, oops now we've come back to Buying. Yeah. I mean, look the verdict's in right, uh, wall street doesn't just like bitcoin. They love bitcoin If you think of these assets, uh, there's been over 5500 etf launches in history Never have we had a fund get to three billion dollars in a um in the first 30 days black rock infidelity both just did it So two for the first time in history and then if you look at bitwise and 21 shares, uh, arc They're both going to hit a billion dollars this year or uh this week And so now you have four funds are going to hit a billion dollars of inflows But the most interesting part of this is the inflows are my doing these funds are doing 500 million dollars a day of net inflows But there's only 900 bitcoin that is actually coming into the daily incoming supply And so when you look at that's like 40 to 45 million dollars There's 12 and a half x more demand for bitcoin than what's being produced on a daily basis How much of this do you think is being generated by the etfs themselves? Well, I mean you just measure the actual net inflows right and so you can just see there is way more buying pressure You're saying three billion for black rock There's four billion now for black rock three and a half for fidelity And then you've got a bitwise and 21 shares will both hit about a billion this upcoming week crazy so You know There's of course when we talk about this we always would would say that you know when the etfs do get it do get approved We're going to see some fireworks and uh, I thought yeah, sure I think we'll you know at some point But I did not expect it to be this quick and this fast I thought it would take a couple months but honestly for everybody to kind of pile in but it looks like Looks like the message has been received loud and clear Also, I think there was some fantastic marketing done by black rock and fidelity these institutions to get to their high value clients to go Look, you need to get on this now Before the having comes in because there was a specific narrative and we're going to pump everybody's bags That's just speculation, but that's what we're good at here So again very interesting stuff from what palm says great little piece and I will just add this Great website in the block. It's all about flows right inflow outflow about what's happening as far as the different exchanges Great website. I don't I have a link. I don't have an affiliate link for it But it's in the block Dot com and we can take a look at the inflow volumes This is the total amount in dollars or tokens entering exchanges deposit wall It's all exchange refers to all sport exchanges and we're just taking a look at bitcoin itself Not about any kind of alt coins or anything else and we just see that over a 30 day change We have a negative 70 percent negative 70 percent of inflow volume going into exchanges now There is also one thing to be said which is you know coinbase They are the the custody provider of most of those ETFs. I'm not for sure exactly how that works unless that's a separate entity I believe it actually is as far as a corporation goes So I'm not for sure that it actually would say that for inflows or outflows I really care about this stuff inflow transaction count. It's all like good stuff. You can take a look at it What I care about is this I care about total flows total flows the sum of the amount entering the exchange plus the amount leaving an exchange This is an indicator of overall exchange activity aggravated exchange refers to all supported exchanges out there so In black we can see the price Which 46,000 and I will just warn you that right here It only goes to february 11th if i'm not mistaken. It's february 12th today. So we don't have data for that but you're gonna see how Yes, go moving backwards in time The aggravated exchange is how much they have on there. It has fluctuated quite a bit But my little peak here what three four days ago and seems to just drop off precipitously Not to say that it's not the lowest point, but I would be Very interested to see how much it is at the cob or close of business today for february itself because it looks like a lot of This assets or bitcoin is being taken off and lastly I will just say one last piece which is Under the quick view as far as with bitcoin There's one big piece And the biggest piece is this Holder is making money at current price. Did you know at this current price 94 percent? 94 percent are actually in the money And if we can take a look at just who is holding Over 80 percent of those people Are actually holding Bitcoin and not selling What does that mean if you got a lot of demand, you know a lot of sellers what usually happens I think you know the answer to that and then lastly just to finish up people aren't selling We take a look at the bitcoin average transaction fee link in the description We can see also that uh Transaction fees were actually quite high in december look at this 37 bucks now ordinals do play a part very well I can understand that Either people aren't using ordinals or people aren't selling or a combination of both We're gonna see how it's been quite a little drop off a little bit of a peak here say this in uh Well, this was the beginning of february, but as we can see as time is going on We are really low as far as transaction fees to a low of four dollars and 18 cents Which is how it should be in my personal opinion and i'm very happy with that And of course if we take a look at the biggest gas hog out there ethereum Ethereum reclaims its rightful clown Crown as being the highest fees out there For a layer one solution and that's it for today.
