Righty! So a huge thank you to Zenith who continuously goes out to Six Flags Great Adventure and films these amazing construction updates on Jersey Devil. So a huge thank you. I'm going to link him down in the pinned comments down below. Please go to his Instagram account and follow him as he does give more sooner updates on Jersey Devil in his stories and his posts. So definitely worth the follow. So please click in the pinned comments down below the link that I posted to go follow him. He deserves it. Thanks so much. Nonetheless, what is done on Jersey Devil? I'm like quickly pulling out my notes. I totally forgot my notes. Okay, so I'm going to quickly go over. Electrical work is being done on the site as well as the transfer track. So electrical work is being conducted on the Jersey Devil site. The bottom of the first drop, the dive loop, the airtime hill, the zero G stall, and the entrance into the turnaround slash crow's nest is being worked on. So all those elements are done and then they're starting the entrance into the turnaround slash crow's nest. Sorry, I should clarify that bit right there. They are not done. The turnaround slash crow's nest, they're starting the entrance into that. So they're moving really quick because I have a feeling that if they're to follow suit like Canada has just done or Ontario, more importantly, all construction projects at Canada's Wonderland have now been halted due to recent, I don't even know the word, I'm totally lost from my train of thought, due to recent laws that were just passed and to crack down on the spread of what's going around, construction has halted. So they're probably working extra fast now just in case that does happen. There isn't any signs of that happening in New Jersey. So I would expect construction to continue for now. And yeah, it's looking absolutely amazing that these people not abiding by the social distancing, I'm kidding. But yeah, it's absolutely amazing. I'm falling in love with this coaster even more. And for those of you that don't know, it's my most anticipated coaster of 2020, even though I'm not going to get to ride it. It looks like I don't know anytime soon the borders closed and all that. So I'm not sure when I'll be able to get out and get on this coaster, but I love the color of the track. Like it looks so rustic. And I just absolutely adore that about this coaster. It looks amazing from afar, especially with the in fall. Oh my goodness, guys, I've already been picturing the coaster in fall, taking photos from this side of the lake in fall as the trees are like changing to those like rustic autumn colors. And the color of the track is just going to pop. Definitely jealous of your home park. If this is your home park, it's going to look amazing in photos in fall. So definitely looking forward to that as well. But yeah, nonetheless, hopefully you enjoyed this really quick construction update on Jersey Devil. It's again, it's absolutely amazing. I'm super excited. And hopefully parks open up, you know, by July or August as soon as possible.  And thanks again for watching. Don't forget to leave a like comment down below how excited you are for the 2020 season to start or what are you missing most about theme parks? Because I'm so bored and subscribe if you haven't. Thanks so much for watching guys. Have a good weekend. Bye.


And item 1.3 on our agenda. Does anyone have a potential conflict of interest to note? Give me one second. Give me one second Joe. Okay. Um, I don't know if you did that one come Do you want to yeah hit your butt once? Did it turn red? There you go. Yes, you could just let it Yeah, I was just raising the question if it is for me being at abacus This is an abacus project. I Think what I was gonna recommend on this Joe was it appears that we have a quorum without Bob Participating so based on the fact that Paul Mentech is here from abacus That I thought it would be a good idea if Bob may be abstained from the vote I think that sounds wise Bob typically in the past we've We felt that any comments from you were totally acceptable So please feel free to weigh in on the discussion part of it. You'd just be abstaining from the vote Okay Brings us to item 2.1 and Steve. I was not seeing an attachment for minutes On board docs from April 13th. I Don't know if other folks found it. I was the only one not finding that I See the minutes attached and I moved to approve as presented Great. Thank you Marcus Any second Give a second for Gary Thank you. Any further discussion on the minutes Hearing none all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye Opposed Didn't hear any opposed so we will take that as a unanimous approval Steve just to confirm we didn't need a roll call vote for that one. Nope. We had a unanimous vote on that Perfect. Thank you That takes us to item 3.1. So Paul if you could come to the podium and Make the presentation on what's being proposed for Sheboygan Christian school. Oh I have to I'm sorry. And do we have there we go to get the camera on Paul? I'm too tall Yeah Lots of hand gestures So I am here to talk about a K8 addition going on to the existing Sheboygan Christian High School located on the south side on Greenfield Avenue And probably the easiest thing to start with is if you look at sheet 202 Which is the site plan? it's kind of gives you a nice overview of What the existing building looks like and also the footprint of the new addition It includes two new classroom pods on the north side of the building headed towards Greenfield and Then also wraps around the east side of the existing gymnasium As far as I would I be able to show the screen? Oh Gotcha All right as part of your packet. I did include some Existing pictures of what the existing metal building looks like As you can see over time this building has been added on a number of times So there's there's different color siding different profile siding Some of it's pretty faded As well as some places where windows have been filled in over the years So you can kind of see what? What it looks like now and what we are? Proposing as far and is also what we are covering up So the rendering show the proposed addition and materials Materials are two different styles of metal building Which I do have samples along with me as well as some stone towers and a stone base and Some some small areas of a wood look Metal siding right now. We're proposing longboard, but that is not set in stone yet As far as all the trim and fascia will all be an off-white color to Match what is currently there? There's nothing else. We'd open it up to the board Run questions pass Paul. Yes, I would start with a couple first of all First of all, it's a nice improvement great to see an addition finally going on this building And it sure does seem to tidy it up where we're You're putting the addition on At the stone towers Question on those with flashing Once you get back beyond the facade of the building Whether the sides of those towers are actually going to be the stone or whether you would only run it back a Distance and then switch to running roof membrane up They're high enough that we can keep the stone on the front and the sides the back I think I would propose running a Membrane up the back of it. Yep, that sounds fine. Just wanted to make sure that the sides stayed stone So if you're able to get it built the way it's shown in the renderings that sounds great Okay was my main concern The only other item on my end was just question the detail for the window trim And some of the window renderings it looked as if there was Really no trim. It was just the metal siding and then the window unit itself was that the intent? What what is the detailing there? That we would probably I guess plan on using the typical metal Building trim that Kirby would provide We're still up in the air and exactly what metal building provider is going to be building it And they each kind of have their own trim and so the renderings don't you know, don't really show that trim But I would anticipate or planning on that trim being the same color as the siding and Then having the aluminum window stand out from that So Paul that's just like a J channel at the edge of the siding. Yes, that's what I would anticipate Okay, so that that's more of a modern sleek look that you're going for rather than a Trimmed out window opening correct Okay The only other thing from my end was actually to Steve Could you maybe give us a brief description of the annexation process and Where we're at with that and how the architecture review approval a potential approval ties into that process Sure, and and we may have Do you have a question to Marcus? No Yeah, what what we're looking at with regards to annexation and the there's a couple of homes located on the North east corner of the property that aren't really shown in the site plan number of those are owned by the school and so with the addition There's a portion of the addition with schoolyard and think and the yard area that was going to be purchased and Incorporated into the property and at this point in time We have not received any request for that annexation I'm sure Paul and then we have a representative. I'm sorry And Steve like who might be able to also add some light to that but at this point in time What they wanted to do was at least have the opportunity to come to the architecture review board get this done and as things progressed with annexation and conditionally, you know first annexation and then conditional and use permit for the actual use and like site improvements, so Obviously the applicants are aware that hey if anything was changed or anything came up then they would have to come back to us But at this point in time I'm waiting for that information so we can take action on the annexation Great. Thanks Steve. So essentially we're approving the elevations with the understanding that the project would be annexed before this construction could happen That's correct. Great other comments or questions from the board. I Can't see if anyone's buzzing in Steve. Can you handle the logistics here? Yes, right now? It doesn't appear as though anyone has a question at this time from the board members Great in that case does someone want to propose a motion? This is Jerry. I'd move to approve subject to staff recommendation Marcus second at that yeah, Marcus second at that Excellent, so we've got a motion at a second any further discussions Steve is anyone buzzing in for discussion. I'm sorry Joe. No, no further discussion on this end Thank you Hearing no further discussion All those in favor, I guess we need a roll call vote for this one. So Steve if you could call the roll, please sure We'll start with Charlie wigg Marcus of Aglio Jerry Jones I Joe Clark and Bob Abstaining Bob stained Excellent that looked like a unanimous approval. That's correct. So congratulations and Thank you very much Paul for the presentation. I look forward to seeing that go up. I wish the very best to shaboy Christian school Thank you Steve yes, anything else for us to discuss today or updates for the next meeting No, I just Nothing nothing's changing. We'll probably still have You know the remote meetings and things of that nature So at this point in time unless there's anything else that anyone else needs to add there's nothing on our end Anything else with yours Joe? No, I think that's it. Thank you all very much for your time We will look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks Can we just get a motion to adjourn? Oh Yep, thank you Jerry Very good, we're all good on this end. Hi Great, thanks Steve. All right, thanks. You're handling the Mike switch. Yeah We just got to keep we'll keep improving as this moves along. So I apologize for any inconveniences Thanks. Oh good. Thank you very much. All right. Bye now


In this video, I'm just going to show you a little bit about one of the circuit simulators that I have as a link in our Blackboard course. This particular one is the Falstead.com circuit. And when you first open up the application, it looks kind of like this. In fact, we could have a lot of different circuits here with all kinds of different advanced systems. You're going to mostly use, or I'm going to mostly use, the blank circuit page. So I just want to show you how this works a little bit. So when you click on that blank circuit, you get a nice empty canvas here. The draw menu shows things that you can add. Now wires, I could click on that, but if I just hit a W on the keyboard, that's how I'm going to actually be creating the wires without coming up here to the menu. Similarly, a resistor can be added with R. If I wanted to add a capacitor or a switch or any of these other ones, some of them have keyboard shortcuts as well. The other keyboard shortcut I'm going to use is down here under inputs and sources. And if I grab just a regular voltage source, a battery, two terminals, positive and negative. So I'm going to be using that a lot too. So you'll see me using, putting these components up there without necessarily going to the menu. So if I start by hitting a V, then I can stretch out and it's going to give me a little battery symbol there. I can then hit W. And if I go from the end, I can add some wires. At this point, I can hit my R and it's going to add a resistor, go back to W, and I can finish off a basic circuit. Now it defaults so that when I get a resistor, it starts with a one kilo ohm resistor. I can edit how much that resistance has and put it at 437 ohms if I wanted to. Similarly on the battery, the default is a 5 volt battery, but you can change that to say maybe a 1.5 volt battery. Once you've done this basic circuit, again, if you just hover over any component, it's going to give you some information about it. The VD down here in this box on the bottom, you have to forgive me, look over here, but I have to be hovering over it to show you. The VD shows you the voltage difference or the potential difference across that circuit, that part of the circuit. And then it tells you the current as well. If I go on a particular wire, it can tell me the voltage of that wire, but notice it doesn't give me a voltage difference here because that entire wire is at 1.5 volts. Then when I go over here to another component like the resistor, it can tell me the voltage difference across that one, the current through it, its resistance, and also how much power it's using. And then when I come over to this side of the circuit, it shows me that the potential is down to zero. So I was at 1.5, now I'm at zero, etc. And you can create arbitrarily complex circuits here. Now just to show you a couple of other options, when you come up here, you can show the current moving or not show the current. You can show the voltage, which is shown sort of in green. We can get rid of that and just show it as a basic circuit. I could show the power, I could show values, I could show a grid. If I want European style resistors or go back to the American style ones, I can also set it to a white background or a black background. I like the white background there. So those are some of the options you can do and you can build up arbitrarily complex circuits and see what the currents and voltages and powers for each of those resistors are in the circuit.

So let's go ahead and jump into this what I eat in a day to lose weight on WW. 🎵 Imagination, just say your word, knows who hurt 🎵 My breakfast for today, it's just about eight o'clock. I'm going to be starting my meal prep, but I'll sit down after breakfast and give you guys some updates. I have a sad update or a sad, I have sad news and then I have an update. So for breakfast, I'm going to have two hard boiled eggs.  I have some raspberries. And then I did an English muffin with one tablespoon of peanut butter spread between the two English muffins. So the raspberries and the eggs are zero. The English muffin is four and the peanut butter is three. So my breakfast is going to be seven points. Good morning guys, welcome to this week's what I eat in a day. I just finished my breakfast. It was so delicious. I've been on this big peanut butter kick lately. I've been loving it on celery. I've been putting it on toast and English muffins really, really good. I don't know what my deal is, but I'm loving peanut butter lately. But I wanted to hop on really quick and kind of let you know what to expect for today's what I eat in a day. And then I have an update on diesel and I also have some sad news to share with you guys as well. If you hear the dogs in the background, Palmer and Lola are playing. But first for today, what we're going to do is we are going to spend the day together. I'm going to share with you all of my meals throughout the day today. I have a candle subscription box that came in the mail. I'm going to share that with you. I have a coaching call this afternoon and then I have a really good dinner recipe to share with you. So we're going to have a pretty fun day. I'll share the dogs, of course, as always. But before we jump into the what I eat in a day, I did want to share those updates with you. So let's start with an update about diesel. So diesel on this last Friday went into the vet for his final followup appointment from his ACL surgery. So when he went in for his followup appointment, the vet said that he's looking really, really good. Our concern was is that he's still not putting a lot of weight on that leg and he's actually still limping around quite a bit. So the vet tested his range of motion and it is perfect. He's able to completely rotate diesel's knee. He felt it, made sure there wasn't any swelling. And apparently when dogs have a torn ACL, they can feel the tear. So he checked the ACL to confirm that it wasn't torn anymore, which it's not. So he gave diesel basically a clean bill of health. He did prescribe him some additional pain medication just because they can still experience some pain up through the entire recovery, which he says could potentially be through the end of the year. So he may be limping around or not putting full weight on his leg really through December potentially. So the good news is, is that he's good to go. He can go outside without us. He doesn't have to be on a leash. He can play, he can run. He can do normal things for the most part. We're still a little leery and careful with how much physical activity he does. If he's getting too excited and running around too much, we try to put a little halt to that. But we're letting him just be a dog. He's going in and out as he chooses. He's still scared to slip and slide on the floor. So that's something we're still overcoming because we picked up all the rugs that we had on the floor during his recovery because they just get covered in dog hair and they're dirty and you have to wash them once a week. So we got rid of the rugs. So now he's kind of relearning how to walk on the floors. But he's doing really, really well. He will continue the pain medication just through no longer. But like I said, could be through the end of the year. As far as his hair growing back, the vet said it could take up to two years for his hair to grow back. He said, depending on where the follicle is when they shave it, it couldn't grow back quickly or not quickly and Diesel's is growing back but he has spots that are pretty bare still. So that was interesting. So he may be a little patchy potentially for a couple of years. Can you hear these two? Palmer and Lola playing. So that's really good news about Diesel. We were so happy that he has that clean bill of health and he's doing so well. The vet said he's doing abnormally well for a dog that is so large. He's about 115 pounds and almost 10 years old. So we're really happy. We couldn't be happier actually with the results from his surgery. While we were at the vet with Diesel, we decided to go ahead and take Palmer, our little puppy into the vet as well because he is at the age now almost seven months where he can be neuter.  And what can happen is they can get tangled up by their liver, I believe, kidney or liver, one of those two, and it can cause cancer if it's not removed. So the breeder said that it may potentially drop as Palmer gets a little bit older. Well, it still hasn't dropped. So when we took Palmer in to the vet with Diesel, we spoke to them about having Palmer neutered. Well, unfortunately, because his one ball is up by his organ and the vet said it can get tangled up, that it's a pretty extensive procedure. He essentially has to neuter and spay Palmer at the same time. He will have a pretty big cut, about a five inch cut on his abdomen and he's not a huge dog. So that's a good chunk of his abdomen and he basically has to go in there and reach in and pull the ball out that is kind of tangled up in there. So it's sad because it is such an extensive procedure that has longer recovery time. It's obviously more expensive because it's not just your traditional neuter. So he is going to go in on the 27th of August for his neuter, spay and this surgical procedure. So he will be under anesthesia. It will be a longer recovery, two to three weeks versus a traditional one to one and a half week of a regular neuter. And it's just a sticky procedure because that ball is tangled up in there. So we're worried about him, of course, we love him and anytime our dogs go to the vet and are put under anesthesia, it's worrisome. So we're worried, we're a little sad that it didn't just naturally drop into place like a lot of the other dogs did. In fact, Palmer is the only one in his litter that the ball didn't drop down. He's the only one that has to have this more extensive procedure. So we were a little bit sad with the news but we love this vet. They did such a great job with diesel surgery that we're confident we just were sad that Palmer has to go through a more extensive procedure. But once he gets neutered, the risk of cancer is gone and it should help mellow him out a little bit which honestly is the part I'm most excited about. So those are my updates for you. Let's get into the rest of our what I eat in a day. So here's my lunch for today. I'm actually having my meal prep. If you have not seen my Monday meal prep, definitely check it out. This is a Caprese turkey burger or chicken burger.  These are amazing. If you love that Italian vibe, if you love the mozzarella and basil and pesto, you are going to love these burgers. The burger itself is three points. The bun is also three points and then my little teaspoon of pesto is one point. So my burger as it sits is seven points which is not bad at all. And then for dessert, I'm just going to have one of these coconut unreals. These are actually three points as well which is crazy for 70 calories. Again, that whole points versus calories thing. But my lunch is a total of 10 smart points. So I thought I would give you an update on the current situation at my house. So I just finished my lunch and I have my little Lola here. You guys, this is her spot. She loves to come in when she's super hot outside and lay up against the nice cool couch. So that is Lola. She's currently taking a little nap and Diesel is half in the sun, half out of the sun. He likes to lay in the sun, but he gets hot really easy. So he doesn't usually lay in the sun for that long. Usually you find Palmer wherever there's a glimpse of sunlight, but he's just so cute. I don't know if you guys can see, but he just has a big smile on his face. He's happy as can be because he's free as a bird now and he can go outside at leisure and do whatever he wants. And Palmer found something. It's probably a bug, you guys. He finds these bugs and then he flips them all around. So of course I'm going to have to see if there's now a bug in my house. Palmer, do you want to say hi to our friends? Say hi, friends. Palmer, Palmer. Palmer, look. Say hi. As I just finished my lunch and as promised, I got my Wicked Buy You Candles subscription box in the mail yesterday and I barely could contain myself to dig into it. This is one of my very, very favorite subscriptions. It is a small company. It's a family owned small business in the New Jersey area and it is just amazing. They give you different products every month. You generally receive four to five products. You always get a eight ounce candle in a tin. You can get products like wax melts or decorative pieces. And from my experience, you always receive a car air freshener, which I really appreciate because then I'm able to swap out my car air freshener every month. I will say that my air freshener still smells from last month, my turtle one, but I'm hoping there's a fresh one in here for the month of August. So here is the little card that comes in the box and on the back, it does tell you all of the products that you received in your box. I do not want to peek though. Here is what it looks like. It is sealed with a little heart sticker. Air freshener, so let's dive in. So here's this month's car air freshener and this is in the scent mermaid cove. I just have to smell it before we go over all of the notes. Like I said, I love these. They have such good scent and it literally lasts in my car all month long. Oh my gosh, that smells so good. So it says notes of coconut water, lemon zest and Valencia orange. I definitely smell that with pineapple nectar, sea lily and lychee blossom. Wow, that smells incredible. Cannot wait to put this in my car. A little later this afternoon, we're actually going to go to one of my real estate clients that I just closed on her house. Gosh, it's been maybe less than a month ago. She's having a little housewarming get-together with her family and she invited me, which I thought was really sweet. So we're going to head over there. So we will officially place this in my car and see if we like the smell. We also received wax melts and this is in the scent castaway. So it says notes of coconut water, caffer lime leaves, cafer, caffir, and lime juice with lemongrass, Malibu rum and orange nectar. Oh. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. That is so good. That is so good. It smells very coconut rummy to me, literally like Malibu rum smell. So their wax melts are great. They have really good throw. The scent lasts a very long time. So I am excited for that. It looks like we received a second pack of wax melts and this is in pink coconut calypso and this says notes of coconut water, pink berry and black currant with driftwood. Oh wow, that is good. This is a good transition shade from summer to fall. It still has those bright notes of summer but that driftwood gives it that smoky outdoorsy smell. Oh, this smells incredible as always. And lastly in my box is my other favorite part of this box and that is the eight ounce candle and this is in the scent beaches. I cannot wait to smell this. It says notes of sea salt, coconut water, lavender, ocean sea spray, driftwood, beach, moss and amber. Let's, wow. Oh my goodness. That is so good. That is so good. Wow, wow. This is probably my favorite scent that we've received so far. I really like that their August box is still summer themed because we're still in summer but it's definitely transitioning us into fall with these scents. So this one, it smells sweet and summery but again, it has those notes of driftwood and amber that give it that fall vibe. It is the perfect transition. So excited about this. So again, this is Wicked by You candle subscription.  I will link it down below, not an affiliate link. It is simply the link over to their website for you to take part in the subscription. So to recap, we received the eight ounce candle in beaches, the castaway and pink Calypso wax mount and the super cute mermaid tail. That smells amazing car air freshener. So again, everything is linked down below. If you're interested, a lot of you have already subscribed which makes me really happy because we're supporting a small business and you guys also love it when I unbox this. So that is August Wicked by You candle subscription box. My boring, yet satisfying and pretty filled afternoon snack. I'm actually just having two servings for one cup of my 2% good culture cottage cheese. It is going to be three points and it is packed with protein and it will tide me over until I have dinner tonight.  So let's pack up and head out.  I have to say how nice it is that she invited me over and I'm not even part of her family, just a friend now. So we're going to drive about 20 minutes or so north of where I live. Their house is just absolutely adorable. So let's go ahead and hit the road.  So I'm just pulling into my client's house for their little get together. I don't think I'm going to stay too late because I want to get home and make dinner. I have such a good dinner recipe to share with you guys but of course I really appreciate her inviting me. So I'm here. I'm going to go enjoy myself for a little bit and then we'll head on home and make some dinner. So my sweet client sent us home with two huge pans of food and an entire trace leches cake. How sweet is she? This is one of my favorite parts about real estate is all of the absolutely amazing friends. For dinner tonight, I'm making skillet chicken with mushroom wine sauce. And then I'm going to pair that with some jasmine rice. So let me show you what's in dinner. First you're going to need some salt and pepper, garlic powder and thyme. You can also use fresh thyme, a shallot, Dijon mustard, corn starch, some type of oil. This is avocado oil, mushrooms, minced garlic, chicken stock.  So to start the chicken, we're going to take a bowl and to that bowl we're adding half of a cup of flour, garlic powder and salt and pepper. And then just give that a quick mix. We're going to use the flour mixture to dredge our chicken in to get it nice and coated. I did cut my chicken breasts in half so that they were a little bit thinner and we're just going to pop those into that flour mixture, make sure they get coated really well on both sides. And then I'm just going to set them back on my cutting board here until my butter and oil warm up in my skillet. I did go ahead and add one cup of jasmine rice, two cups of chicken broth to a pan to get my rice cooking as well. I have a skillet here getting warmed up with three tablespoons of light butter and a tablespoon of avocado oil. I don't think I showed you guys the chicken or the butter. I haven't been feeling the best this evening so I think my mind is just not all there. So you will need some butter and chicken, of course. I will link the original recipe on my website as well as all of my modifications so you can go ahead and copy that. But we're going to let this melt down.  We're going to let that rice cook completely through. I have my four chicken pieces. I'm going to add those to the pan with the butter and the oil. And we're going to allow those to fry up for about four to five minutes. When your chicken is done, it should be nice and crispy on all sides. It looks so good. We're going to go ahead and remove the chicken from the pan. If you don't have enough left over oil and butter in your pan for the mushrooms, you can add a little bit more but it looks like I have plenty. So I'm removing the chicken and just going to set that aside. And then I'm just going to immediately drop in the mushrooms. And we want to let them cook kind of undisturbed for a couple of minutes and then just give them one or two quick stirs until they've softened. Once your mushrooms are softened, we're going to add in the sliced shallot and some minced garlic. One and a half cups of chicken broth. And a half of a cup of the white wine. Your thyme and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. I'm going to go ahead and turn up my heat here. We want this to come to a boil. As it starts to warm up, we're going to run our spoon across the bottom that will deglaze the pan and get all of that yummy goodness browned on the bottom off of the pan. Bring it to a boil and allow it to boil for about five minutes. We want to reduce it down just a bit before we add in our cornstarch slurry. I added in the cornstarch slurry. Let it get a little thickened up and now we're going to add back in our chicken. We just want to make sure that it gets warmed through. The rice is done. I'll plate everything up and I'll be back to share points and calories. So here is my dinner. This looks absolutely delicious. I have a half of a cup of cooked jasmine rice. And then I topped it with one fourth of the chicken recipe. It does make four servings and that is going to be four points on the blue and purple plan and six on the green plan. I'll put the calories here on the screen for you but this looks so delicious and there's plenty of leftovers. This would be a great family friendly weeknight dinner. So I'm just sitting here editing my meal prep for today. As always I'm filming this video on a Sunday. So up live on my channel today went the video where I'm answering all of the really tough, not comfortable questions that I've received in the mean comments. Just some of the mean comments. There's a lot more but some of the mean comments I've received over my time on YouTube and I had to hop on as I'm reading through the comments hundreds of comments and all of them are positive. There's a couple that could veer towards the maybe not positive but all of the feedback and all of the comments and the love that you've shown on that video you guys means the world to me. Thank you so, so much. Sometimes as a creator we can feel really unappreciated because when we do see mean comments or rude comments or we spend a lot of time on a video and if you didn't know it takes hours for us to put up a five minute video on YouTube. By the time we research the topic come up with the content, film the content and at the content make the thumbnail and get it all uploaded to the internet and especially for me I have to drive to another location in my home to upload. It's hours and hours so when we don't get views or when we get a lot of thumbs down or negative comments it can really take a toll on us. So it's really nice at least for me to hear you guys be so appreciative of my channel and so many of you said you just love how consistent I am that a lot of the other creators aren't consistent in posting and I'm very consistent which I pride myself on it's kind of my type A personality. So I just had to hop on and give you guys a big thank you. It really, really truly means a lot to me and it reminds me that you do appreciate all of the content that I put out. So thank you again. I like seriously love you guys. Thank you for joining me on another What I Eat in a Day on WW.

Give the people. Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Your weekly movement news roundup. Well, it's the 20th of January 2023. Thus far this year, I've not made a mistake with the year, which is unusual for me because generally I wait till March to get the year sorted out, but it is 2023. You always give the people what they want brought to you from people's dispatch. That's Prashant and Zoe. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter. Happy to be with you. The Oxford Financial Famine Group, Oxfam, which was set up really several years ago, decades ago, has in the last few years become a key resource to talk about things having to do with inequality and so on. They've got a new report out. Prashant, it's really familiar stuff, but what's in it? Vijay, of course, the report is titled very aptly Survival of the Richest. Survival is probably not the right word here because the rest of the report talks about how the rich are definitely doing more than surviving. They're thriving on the backs of everyone else. But some of the numbers, I think, of course, have been repeated quite a bit over the past week and for viewers of this show are very familiar because it's one of those topics we keep talking about, of course. Oxfam has this ability to bring together and contrast bits of information which really point to the extent of the crisis of inequality that is rampant in this world. If you look at the headline number, it is a fact that from 2020 of the wealth that was created, 63% has been captured by the richest people. That's the top 1%, while it's only 37% that the rest of the world has been able to get. And I think the word captured is used in a very advisedly because otherwise it doesn't make any logical sense. The fact that just 1% is able to sort of expropriate 63% of that wealth is a staggering number. And it's important to note that this is not just about one or two years, this is a trend. This is a worsening of a trend because over the past decade it was about 50%. Now we're seeing it going into the 60s and this really does not board well for a planet in crisis, for a society in crisis as a whole. And there are lots of other numbers as well. And I think it's very important to note some of these numbers, the fact that for every $1 of global wealth that was owned by a person in the bottom 90%, a billionaire gained $1.7 million. So that's really a contrast. So the fact that a billionaire gains about $2.7 billion a day in terms of their wealth through the course of a year. But I think equally important is to actually look at some of the other aspects of it, which may not get as much attention, which has to do with taxes. And this is a really, really key aspect of what Oxfam has been talking about. And I think what activists across the world have been talking about this. We talk a lot about the strikes that are going on. We saw around the strikes in France yesterday, UK, of course, roiled by strikes, but not just Europe, for instance, protests in Tunisia, protests in Sri Lanka, protests in Latin America. And so many of these places, the common slogan that emerges is that when governments say that, hey, we don't have the money and so we have to do austerity policies, hey, we don't have the money, we have to cut jobs. We can't give you more. I think the one thing everywhere people ask is why don't you tax the rich? And what the Oxfam report does is actually provide some of these numbers as well, which for instance, they give the example of Elon Musk who's paying a true tax rate of about 3% between 2014 and 2018. Whereas you have Floorwender and Uganda who makes $80 a month and pays a tax rate of about 40%. And that example itself is kind of instructive. But equally more I think is something which Oxfam has pointed out before, which is what happens if you actually put not even a huge tax, no one is talking about seize the rich or expropriate all their wealth or anything of that sort. But even a 5% tax on the world's multimillionaires and billionaires could raise just $1.7 trillion a year. That's a huge number, $1.7 trillion. We talked about it in the context of the climate crisis where the rich countries were supposedly not able to provide $100 billion a year. And this can raise just $1.7 trillion. And what can this $1.7 trillion do? It can lift 2 billion people out of poverty, fund shortfalls on humanity and appeals, address hunger, address issues of climate change, etc. So much can be done with this $1.7 trillion. All it takes is just a 5% tax. So I think this really is one of the most important political questions of our time at this point that how long can the system endure with how long can society endure without the super rich being taxed or without the super rich actually being able to rate taxes in many countries. For instance, there's a number which says that in so many countries there's barely any inheritance tax, which means that an amount around the GDP of Africa is being passed on as inheritance to a next generation of oligarchs and plutocrats. So that really sort of shows the fact that this is not just 2023's problem or 2022's problem, but a problem that is going to go on for decades right now. So that's where we are at with the Oxfam report, depressing numbers. But to be honest, nothing really new for people who have been following this, following this struggles across the world. It's worth reading that report. I must say it's pretty shocking. And if you want a little video on it, our producer Surangia has a little explainer at the People's Dispatch website. Go check that out. Meanwhile, in Argentina, Zoe, there's a meeting of CELAC, Community of Latin American and Caribbean Countries. Brazil was one of the authors of CELAC. Seems to be happy days. Brazil is back. What's happening in Argentina at the CELAC meeting? Well, this Tuesday, January 24th is going to be the summit of CELAC under the presidency of Argentina under Alberto Fernandez. This is an exciting moment and it's drawing a lot of attention, both nationally within Argentina. There's been a lot of the right-wing opposition, especially given that this is an election year. They're definitely capitalizing on it to attack Alberto, especially because of the participants. I'll get into that after. But one of probably the biggest exciting parts about this summit is that it's coming after the significant victories across Latin America. And largely, as you said, Brazil being one of the founders and the largest country in South America in the region is a huge advancement. So, under Bolsonaro, they had withdrawn from this regional integration platform. And so the return of Brazil really opens up many opportunities. It has the largest economy in the region. And so it can help advance many proposals forward. And it's giving a new breath of life into this mechanism, which already had been on the rise, especially at a time when the OAS, the Organization of American States, is kind of seen with so much disdain. And of course, we can see the flop of the Summit of the Americas in June as part of this. Luis Almagro is actually not invited to CELAC. He's not invited to participate. So that is notable. And also in this CELAC, Nicolas Maduro, who has not had many international trips in the region, is going to participate. And this is extremely significant because for a while, Venezuela was essentially surrounded by enemies. Brazil, Colombia, so many different countries in the region who all came together, of course, in the Lima group who had been attacking Venezuela, calling Nicolas Maduro an illegitimate leader. And with the return of these progressive governments, many of them have resumed ties with Maduro, have resumed ties with the constitutional government of Venezuela. And so Maduro's return to the space in representation as the head of state is also a huge advancement. And it will definitely strengthen and fortify this already reactivation of ties with the constitutional government. That's definitely noteworthy. And then, as I said, so there's been a lot of national controversy within Argentina. Of course, we know on one hand, this is an election year. And on the other hand, it's a moment of extreme economic crisis for Argentina, which has deep root causes, which are not necessarily linked to Alberto Fernandez, but of course the pandemic, the debt that they have with the IMF. But the far right in Argentina is essentially capitalizing on this moment to say that, to boycott CELAC, saying that it's going to be a summit of dictators, that they're pulling out the red carpet for all these dictators, et cetera, really using this to attack Maduro, Daniel Ortega, and the Cuban representation. So it's definitely a heated moment. There's also going to be a parallel summit that the social movements in Argentina are organizing, as they always do when there's a big international event in the country. They're going to discuss the integration of the people, the pressing issues in Latin America. And it's also important to point out that this is a moment of great upheaval in Latin America. We see just bordering Argentina in Bolivia, there's been ongoing crisis with the arrest of Luis Fernando Camacho, the far right leader behind the coup. Other charges have been pressed against Janine Añez, but it's a touch and go situation. The right is very angry. And of course, just to the other, on the other border, we have Peru, which is of course undergoing a coup situation. So important time for Latin America, an important time for leaders to come together and evaluate, assess the situation at hand. We're going to stay with Latin America, actually, because that seems to be where a lot of the action is. The UNESCO, the UN Education, Scientific, Cultural Organization has released a report, the 2021-22 freedom of expression report. Very interesting stuff comes out about a year after Mexican journalists took to the streets in very large protests against the killings in Mexico. Mexico, by the way, in this report, registers the highest number of murder of journalists by number. Last year, People's Dispatch ran a story by Tania Wadhwa about these protests. I urge you to go back, take a look at it. You'll get a little sense of what Mexico has been gripped by, but this report is pretty outstanding from UNESCO because it shows that this last year, 2022, there were 86 reported journalists killed in the year. Now, I want to say a thing about that for a second because there are many more journalists who are under various forms of intimidation, imprison their freedom of expression, suppressed in one way or the other. If you want to have a record of that, you can just go to, for instance, the People's Dispatch search engine and type attacks on journalists or killing of journalists. There's a statement up there in defense of Haitian journalists who per capita actually are the greatest challenge. There are nine killed last year, but that you've got to see per capita is very high for Haiti. Again, I just want to emphasize that these killing numbers, I think, are actually deflated. The situation is much worse than that, but this is instructive. Last year, 86 recorded killings of journalists. The previous year, 2021, it was only, and I'm sorry to use the word only, it was only 55. That means that the killings of journalists almost doubled between 2021 and 2022. That's pretty astounding. The UNESCO report is pretty strong and it calls this trend alarming. Now, if you know the United Nations, you know that the language is pretty careful because these are consensus documents, but here we go. They called it alarming. It is indeed alarming. 86 journalists killed last year. Among them, let's not forget the Palestinian American journalist, Shireen Abu Akle, who was assassinated in Janine. In fact, her funeral cortege was also attacked in the gates of Jerusalem, attacked by Israeli military forces. This is before the far-right wing Israeli government took office at the end of 2022. This is under the so-called more liberal variant of Israeli politics. I'd like to emphasize that and the killers or the investigation of the death of Shireen Abu Akle barely off the ground. So she is one of the statistics in here. 86 journalists killed last year, 44 of them in Latin America and the Caribbean. The highest number in all the continents also happens to be half the number of journalists killed last year or reported to be killed last year. As I said, there are many others whose deaths are not part of the statistics or the official statistics, but still, again, it's a trend line. 50% of journalists killed were killed in Latin America and the Caribbean, 19 of them in Mexico. So out of 44 killed in Latin America and the Caribbean, half of them killed in Mexico. Those protests from last year, they were protests about the killings in 2021 before these 19 people were killed, most of them in the line of duty. UNESCO is careful in the report. They mentioned that a number of the journalists in this database were killed while they were off duty, but it says that a number of them were targeted for killing. These were not random killings. Fake news or the kind of use of social media to go after a journalist, to demonize the journalist, leads to some of these killings when they are off duty. That's something to pay attention to. It's very interesting how journalists get pilloried online. They get humiliated and so on for merely reporting a story. We see this in many countries around the world, the kind of targeting of journalists within the confines of social media and how that then departs from social media into attacks and so on and killings. Lots of attacks against journalists. Again, these are killings that I'm talking about, not the attacks per se. Haiti at number nine, please go to the People's Dispatch site, look and circulate that statement written by a number of people about the killings of Haitian journalists and asking people to stand with Haitian journalists. Well, you're with, give the people what they want, coming to you from People's Dispatch and from Globetrotter. Happy to be with you every week. Always looking forward to more and more of your selfies so that we can get a visual image of you watching our show. We love that, really. It's one of the delights at least of my day. As I said, staying with Latin America. Zoe already mentioned at the border, Peru and so on. At the border, Peru, Zoe, what is happening in that country? Well, yesterday in Peru, there was a massive mobilization in Lima, tens of thousands of people, also mobilizations in the south of the country as part of a national strike, January 19th. Also under the banner of the March of the Four Corners of Peru, this was the second version of this march, and essentially it saw caravans of thousands of people coming from the southern Andean region above all, but also from the north, also from the Amazonian region, coming and converging on Lima, bringing their political demands and making sure that the seat of power, which right now is the de facto government of Dina Boluarte, listens to their demands. They have been on the streets for over a month since Pedro Castillo was taken out in the legislative coup by the far-right parliament. They've been on the streets demanding the immediate resignation of the de facto Dina Boluarte, demanding the closure of Congress, immediate elections, and a constituent assembly.  They've been walking by, they've been coming back from work, but it basically has been to unleash horrific violence against the people of her country to go on national TV and call them criminals to say that these are illegal acts, to say that the public force has to respond in this way. Meanwhile, the media is saying that the police are confronting the criminals that want to destroy the country. It's a really, again, we keep going back to this story because it's so important to pay attention to. With just over one month and 50 people killed is not business as usual, is not the way that things should be going. The U.S. Embassy has released a statement yesterday after giving complete support to the government Dina Boluarte calling for peace and specifically saying that these violent protests should no longer be taking place. I think it's interesting where they're putting the blame of the violence. They expressed concern for the victims of the fatal violence of the police, but this is the situation. It's very concerning. Alongside these massive mobilizations, alongside this brutal repression of the people on the streets with tear gas, with live bullets, they're also engaging in a campaign of very dangerous criminalization of left leaders. We've seen many different headquarters and offices of left organizations in the country been raided. Someone we actually spoke to while on the ground in Peru and Ayacucho, Rocio Melgar, she has been arrested, accused of terrorism and instigating these protests. Other leaders have been, as you said, using social media, far right trolls, going after journalists, going after left leaders and all of this is happening. And for Dina Boguarte, the problem is the protesters, the problem is that they're caring, they have unreasonable demands and that they're engaging in violent protests. So it's very concerning. I think it will definitely be a matter of discussion at the CELAC summit. I'm sure it will come up. It is unlikely. I don't think that Dina Boguarte was invited to participate in this. I'm unclear if there will be a delegation from the foreign ministry, but this is something we have to continue looking out for. The people show no signs of giving up the streets. Everything that happens is only emboldened in their protests and given them more reasons to continue. So we're going to be following this at People's Dispatch, of course. Well, it's a very important story and we're not going to let this go for sure. I agree with you. Meanwhile, of course, in Northeast Asia, Prashant, the South Korean government, which is a government led by a man who is pretty reckless with his statements, almost inviting nuclear weapons into the country and so on. They've been going after people's movements. I was there in the outskirts of Seoul where the truckers were on strike, a very large strike which really hit the country and now it seems that the government is intensifying things. Tell us what's happening to the Korean trade unions. Right. Of course, before going to Korea, it's interesting to note that recently the president of Indonesia has expressed regret for the crimes committed by the Indonesian state at various points of time, including the brutal massacre of communist activists in the 60s about anywhere between 500,000 to 1,000 million people killed. And what we're seeing in South Korea, interestingly, is a law which also sort of dates back to that era and has pretty much the same kind of instinct, so to speak. So the triggering incident, of course, was the one we're talking about is the raid on the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, one of the largest in the country. And this happened a few days ago. And interestingly, the charge that was leveled against the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions was basically the charges involved violating what is called the National Security Act of 1948. Now it's important to remember a law like this passed during the height of the Cold War. And it's one of those laws which basically give blanket permission to the government to make association saying that any of your critics are somehow associated with communism. And in this case, of course, North Korea, et cetera, et cetera. So the KCTO has been in the forefront of many of the struggles in recent times. And now suddenly, the executives are including and the affiliates including one of the unions which works in the health sector are being charged with, you know, the violation of national security. In fact, the raid was carried out not just by the police, but also by the National Intelligence Service which kind of indicates, you know, the gravity of the situation. Now it's important to note that this is not just an isolated instance. Just that in the recent past, there have been other instances of activists, grassroots activists also being targeted with the accusation, with some bizarre accusations of there being some kind of aspiring where, you know, the attempt is to somehow, I don't know, the attempt is to somehow bring, you know, say some popularized North Korea. I don't know what the idea is, but that's kind of what the allegation has been. And, you know, if you look at the law, for instance, there are sections which talk about criminalizing meeting with North Korean officials or praising or promoting North Korea and communism, et cetera, et cetera. Now it's important to remember that just during the previous government of Moon Jae-in, there was actually a substantial effort to normalize ties with North Korea, and that was actually widely hailed across the world because this is definitely already a very dangerous zone. It has been made worse by the fact that the United States has intervened with its new Cold War approach. So the fact that at that point of time, there were peace initiatives was actually a very positive thing. But this government has completely scaled back on that, and now his basic is indulging in this old Cold War rhetoric of, say, trying to paint North Korea as some kind of evil villain which internal critics are cooperating with. And I think in India and many parts of the world, we sort of know what these kind of allegations and these kind of cases mean because suddenly somehow critics of the government are tagged with the allegation of being, you know, in hand and glove with some foreign elements, and then the case takes entirely different dynamics. So very dangerous point in South Korea at this point of time, like you said, under the current president, that's Yusuf Kiol. On the one hand, he's been extremely unpopular. His popularity ratings are very low. There's been an economic crisis. There have been many strikes in various sectors, including the truckers. At the same time, he's gone around, talked with very extreme rhetoric, tried to expand the defense cooperation with the United States, taken a very aggressive stance on global and regional issues. So all this together means a very bad time for that region which is, like I said, a very dangerous, which is truly a flashpoint in global terms. So this internal crackdown is absolutely not going to help with that and we have to see what's going to happen in this case in the coming weeks as well. Very important. We keep up with this because it's part of the intensification. It seems to me of conflict in Northeast Asia with Japan, for instance, with its more pointed militarism, maybe even getting rid of sections of its constitution, Article 9 that blocked Japan from having an offensive posture and so on. Let's pivot a little bit to the western part of Africa, not West Africa itself to... Well, it's hard to tell this story because if you're a news professional, you'd write that there's a clash on the Nigeria-Cameron border. Technically, that's probably true, although since 2017, there's been a struggle within Cameroon which has both a very large French-speaking population and then in what is sometimes called Southern Cameroon or Ambazonia, there is an English-speaking population. Well, in 2017, Ambazonia declared independence and in insurgency or war broke out on the borderlands between what was known as Ambazonia to the people who broke away and the government of Cameroon, a war that the United Nations said has displaced 750,000 people and killed a shocking 3,500 to 4,000 people. I want you to actually just pause with those numbers because those are shockingly high numbers for deaths in war, shockingly high numbers for displacement of people, but I'm going to lay a bet with our viewers and listeners that they absolutely have never heard of the war within the Cameroon. I bet they've never heard that despite the fact that Cameroon only comes or maybe because of the fact Cameroon only appears in international news when it comes to its football team which is a very good football team, but this conflict has gone under the radar for the international media largely the conflict between Ambazonia and Cameroon. Well, in recent months that has not abated at all. It's hot it up. One would have imagined again because it is hot it up, it would get some attention, but not at all. Well, at the borderlands between Cameroon, Ambazonia and Nigeria there is another problem which is that there are hurting communities in Nigeria. The Fulani and others who don't actually have an understanding why there's a border between their grazing lands and so on. And they've routinely crossed the border. Now I want to also inform people that in 2018 the African Union passed a remarkable text and I'm going to read the entire title of the text. It's called Protocol to the Treaty establishing the African Economic Community relating to free movement of persons right of resident and right of establishment. In fact, this protocol even talks of something called an African passport. I'm not saying that the Fulani herders and others actually not just Fulani herders but the Fulani herders largely from Tarabu and Benui. I'm not saying that Benui, Fulani were carrying African passports but nonetheless they have walked this land for a very long time. So they crossed over in search of I guess grazing lands and so on. They went over in search of food for cattle, food for themselves and so on. The rebel groups or the Amazonian military forces demanded taxation. Now this is interesting. The herders refused to pay taxes and about a clash took place where several of the rebels were killed, some of the Fulani were killed. Well, the herders returned back home to Nigeria and they assembled a much larger force and then they crossed the border again with this very large force and attacked the rebel groups. Well, as part of this clash between Nigerian herders and Amazonian forces, well, the Cameroon government took advantage of the situation and deployed more troops to this area intensifying the struggle. I must say this is not the first time that there's been a clash between Nigerian herders or Nigerian merchants and these groups in Amazonia. This is not the first time. In June of 2022, I recall very well thinking of actually going to that area and writing some stories because the town of Acquire had been attacked when it is believed that Amazonian forces came in and they killed about 30 people. They crossed the border, killed about 30 people including herders, merchants and others, shopkeepers and so on. This is an interesting story. I'm going to actually be following this up with some interest because I think that these wars outside Europe are getting absolutely no coverage and that's why you join us every week and give the people what they want which is brought to you by people's dispatch. That's Prashant. That's Zoe. I'm Vijay from Globe Trotter. See you next week.


To me, it's like, it's unlimited.  Let's get to some people that wanna deal with this, man. Let's get some people that we can, you know, get this thing going with, you know what I'm saying? What's up, everybody? So here we go. Another live cold calling coaching session. Real coaching in real time. Today I got Jason. Jason reached out to me yesterday after I made live calls on YouTube. And said, hey, I wanna make live calls. So I said, let's do it. He said, when? I said, tomorrow. So man, Jason, tell us about yourself. Where are you from? And what kind of calls you're gonna be making today? All right, from Billings, Montana, doing circle prospecting, little context here. Average home price here in Billings, Montana is about 226. However, we have a lot of buyers in the low so that's the neighborhood I picked out today just to hopefully get something rolling here. Yeah, I mean, that's who I am. I'm a broker, not that that means anything. But yeah, I need some help. My biggest struggle, I'd say, is the whole wrong number deal. So got some advice yesterday and we'll try to move past that. I'm just ready to rock. Let's do it. Yeah. We're critiquing the better here, Ricky. Don't you worry about that. David? Oh, I'm sorry, Rick. My name's Jason Leninger with Real Estate Hub. How are you? Good, man, you staying warm out there? We finally got a warm day, right? Well, hey, look, I don't wanna take up too much of your time but I was just calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do to help you. I think so. Yeah, at one point, did you live on Howard Avenue by chance? Oh, okay, you're here in Billingsville? Oh, okay, where are you at? I'm glad to be here, but... You have a good day, sir. That was pretty good, man, for a wrong number to try to stab at it, you know what I mean? I know, I just don't know what else to do on those. Yeah, I mean, do exactly what you did but have a little more confidence in yourself. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Just pretend like you were supposed to call. You know what I mean? Okay. To a call. How many feet, Charles? Charles? Cool. Is this Mr. Miller? What? Hey, Mr. Miller, how are you? This is Jason Leninger with the Real Estate Hub. I wanna talk to you guys as far as... Hey, all right. Did he hang up on you? Yeah, yeah. I'm moving on. Yeah, for sure, man, like sometimes there's nothing you can do, right? They're just gonna kind of be that way, you know what I mean? Yeah, he sounded 180, so I don't blame him. When I'm 180, I'm gonna do the same thing. But your delivery at the beginning is a little bit off. Okay. Yeah, how can I get that family, brother, sister, mother? Make more calls, number one, but number two, talk just a little bit faster. A little bit more faster. Okay. He's switching over because he wasn't getting a lot of pickups. So he switched over to actually a higher price point in that coaching club he's been wanting to call, and he's been scared to death. I mean, what is going on, bro? Hey, Pat. Oh, I'm sorry. This is Jason Leninger with the Real Estate Hub. How are you? Not too bad. Good, man. You staying warm out there? We finally got some warmer weather compared to last week, right? Yeah. Well, hey, I don't wanna take up too much of your time, but I was just giving you a quick call. There's been a couple homes that have sold right around the corner. I didn't know if there was anything in the world I could do for you today. No, no, I need that. Yeah, I gotcha. Well, hey, you know, at one point in time, you might end up doing something in the next 10, 15 years. Do you guys have an agent that you normally work with? I don't plan on doing nothing for the next 10 or 15 years. Hey, that's okay. I'm gonna be in the business for a long time. Would you mind if I just kept in contact with you?  Yeah. I'm just also, I'm happy where I'm at, and that's where I'm gonna stay. You don't sound the day over 21. Well, I am. All right, well, hey, you know, I'd be happy to just mail you my business card, just in case you ever had any questions or curious what your neighbor's homes are worth. I'm not really. All right, well, hey, man. I'm fine, that's just... Yeah, stay warm out there. Okay. All right. All right, you have a good day. Nothing you can do about that. Listen, man, I got a lot to say about that. All right. Give it to me. Like, you're not reading the person. You know what I'm saying?  Then you're mixing up the script. When you said, hey, you might want to do something in 10 to 15 years, that's what you say after you ask them if they have an agent they would deal with and they say, no. Then you say, okay, I got you. Well, you're probably gonna want to do something at some point. I'm just saying touch. You put that before that. And then when he said, this isn't the right number or whatever, just your tone, man, like the speed of your voice and stuff is off. You're not flowing, right? And then, I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was not in the mood to talk to you, you know? And like, you know, there's just certain things you have to do to make people feel comfortable, you know, and like, you went ahead and talked about the weather part, which probably in that case, I would say wasn't the best idea, either way it goes, but that's where I would have said, yeah, man, listen, I was just calling, look, a house around the corner sold. Like, when you do that, I've got, man, yeah. You know, when you do stuff like that, it throws them off a little and it kind of keeps the conversation at a really good level, like an energy level. Like there's energy levels in calls, you know? It's up to you to keep that energy up a little bit, you know? Okay, so would you, with his, since you could read him with his tone of voice, would you have still gone through the same process? Yeah, exactly, exactly, but I would have said it much faster. Okay. You know, and like, here's the thing, you like speed up certain things. I would have said, when he said wrong number, I said, hey, this is, you know, Jason, how you doing? Good, look, man, I don't want to take it too much of your time. Like you got to get some enthusiasm in your voice. Okay. It's like, yeah, man, look, I don't want to take it too much of your time. I'm just calling because this household around the corner, didn't know if there's anything I could do for you. See how I like slow it down and speed it up? Mm-hmm. Because I'm trying to get it all out, but I want to emphasize certain parts of the script. Sure. You know what I'm saying? And the pitch of my voice goes up and down. All that is designed to kind of keep them in, into, I'm trying to bring them up to my energy level. I don't want to mirror them when they're down because now we're both down and now we have a monotone conversation. But if I can, if he's monotone and I can maybe spark his energy up a little bit and now we have some high energy in a conversation. You know what I mean? Yeah. So... How do you approach, like, since that was a wrong number and I don't know where he's living right now, how would you go in that direction? Because I kind of just be as... I would literally say, you know, well, hey man, I'm sorry, I don't mean to bug you. You know, I don't know exactly where you're at, but, you know, I'm a real estate agent around here and I'm just calling around to see what I can do to help people. Okay. You know? Okay. I'm just calling around to see what I can do to help people. Is there anything I can do to help you? You know? Yeah. So, and also when he kept saying he wasn't gonna do nothing for 15 years and all this stuff, he kind of kept going back at him and going back at him. Let him go. I think that was the smartest thing in the world either. Or like, as far as going back at him, like, I think it's okay to keep the conversation going. I think that's when you kind of maybe see if you can keep the conversation going, not necessarily continue trying to go for the kill. You know what I mean? Which the kill is the email address at that point.  All right, so, is there an agent and then after that, well, I'm sure you're gonna end up doing something at some point in time. Yeah, and don't use the 10 to 15 year thing every time. Okay. You know? Say, look, I'm sure you'll do something at some point or you might know somebody. I'd love the opportunity to work with you. When that day comes, what would it be all right if I stayed in touch? Okay, perfect. Let's see how good I take your advice. It's so hard to switch it up, but it's what it's for. All right. Hello? Hey, how's it going? This is Jason Leninger with the Real Estate Hub. Hey, how are you? Good, good. Hey, I chatted with you a little while back. Now, did you end up getting that put together on your home? You mentioned that you- Yeah, actually, that's in love with the places he was. And so he almost did the deal without our, kind of backed out of our cash deal on that one. But yeah, about a ton of interest, a ton of people want to buy it. There's just kind of a small caveat here and there. One couple happened to have large dogs and couldn't have them there. And one person wanted it, didn't quite qualify for financing. Another one, there's actually been five people that wanted to buy it and wanted to make an offer, but there's just been a small caveat that was preventing the deal. So, yeah, it's just a matter of time. Everybody's really excited about it and I'm excited about it, so. Yeah, super cute. You know, I still would like to come out and take a look at it, if that's okay. Yeah, I'll probably be doing an open house really soon. I'm thinking possibly this weekend, I haven't put anything on paper yet. I haven't looked at the weather, and I've kind of just been waiting for the weather to break a little bit to put that together, so. Sure, sure. Yeah, as soon as I decide, I'll sure let you know. Yeah, absolutely. And I remember you were coming in from out of town, is that right? Yeah, okay. Well, you know, I don't want you to make a special trip, but I really would like to see it as soon as possible. You know, I've got quite a few, there's a lot of fires in that neighborhood. So, well, when would be a good time for you? I'm gonna try to put together some viewings and showings right now. I've got a few people messaging me, so as soon as I can coordinate two or three, oh, it's been for a hand. And you know, I have to make it worth the drive, for sure. Hey, sounds good. Okay. So, yeah, as soon as I put it together, I'll absolutely get a hold of you and let you know when I'm gonna be there. It should be, you know, maybe even today, maybe tomorrow, you know, it just kind of depends on working out schedules between a couple different people. Hey, no problem. I'll make it work with my schedule. Just give me a call when that time comes and we'll come take a look at it. All right. Appreciate it. I appreciate it, thank you. All right, have a good day. Have you ever asked her if she were to list it, does she have an agent she's gonna work with? You know I haven't. Why not? I don't know. I should have. That's your first question, bro. Yeah. Why would you even try to go look at a house with somebody you don't even know where you stand in a possible relationship with that person? Okay, I'm gonna take this one a step further on this next one then. You gotta know if there's an agent, if they were to list it, is there an agent they're gonna work with?  She's like, I might have an open house or I'm trying to set up some other showings. She's trying to fit you in when she has other things going on there. You know, like you're taking the conversation in a different direction that needs to go in. It needs to be in like why are you selling? Is there agent that you would work with, were to list it?  You know, do y'all have it on p.com? We don't, we don't. Actually, well, we do, but they're really a real estate agency. Right. Yeah. So in these kind of situations, would you not even waste your time going to see it in person? And just- I don't know. I don't know. Her mom is an agent. I don't, I mean, I don't know what the situation is with her possibly using an agent. I don't know why she wants to sell. I don't know anything. Sure. We're trying to have an appointment and you know nothing. All right, let's try a different approach then. With this one. Haven't talked to this guy before. Hey, Mr. Gutierrez. Yeah. Hey, this is Jason Leninger with the Real Estate Hub. How are you? Hey, good, good. I was just calling you on your home that you got for sale. Any traction there so far? Been some, some calls on it for sure. Been showing it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it looks good. I was just looking at the listing here on Zillow. Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you had any trouble, do you have an agent that you would list with? Yeah. An event that you went that way? Yeah. Oh, okay. Who's your guy? Ron Williams. Oh, okay. Great guy, man. Great guy. You know him? I do, yeah. Yeah. Is he with Wilson and Wilson? I think so. Okay. All right. Well, hey, man, I just wanted to reach out and see if there's anything in the world I could do to help you. All right, man. We'll hope you have a great day. See ya. Bye. To me, that was perfect. Because you established that he's got a guy. You know what I mean? Sure. Of course, a lot of people argue with me. Why don't you try to get in there and try to be there, try to go around that agent and all that stuff? And sure, you can do that. I mean, yeah, for sure. But to me, it's like it's unlimited.  Let's get to some people that want to deal with this, man. Let's get some people that we can get this thing going with, you know what I'm saying? Hey, Casey. This is Jason Leninger with the Real Estate Hub. How are you? Good, how are you doing? Good, good. Hey, I was just calling on 3408 Waterloo. Yes. What's the scoop on that one? It's still for sale. That's my house, actually. Oh, OK. Yep, and it's still for sale. Somebody there. I mean, I guess, are you interested in looking at it? You know, to be honest, I don't want to lie to you or anything. The poor sale by owners that just haven't opened up to any of the buyers in our office, but I'd like to, you know, if you're willing to work with an agent here. Well, I have the poor sale by owners because I don't have the equity in the property to pay commissions on it. I've done all the siting and everything, insurance did not cover that, so that's a lot of pocket. I mean, all those expenses were out of pocket. I don't have to lose, also, is the thing. So I'm not in any rush to sell it. My kids just wanted to get closer to West High. So I'm not in any pressure to move. I'm going to be building a house, but it's whenever the house sells. So if I wasn't so tight on the expenses on the house that I put into it, I mean, I'd be more lenient to do something like that. Of course, it would be much easier for me. But with just the expenses and stuff that I have in the house, I just don't have the room to pay commissions on it. Yeah, yeah. You know, it is. I mean, it's really pretty. And I think your listing looks pretty good. Yeah. You know, in the event that you ever have to do something, do you have an agent that you would use? Probably Diana Carroll, because she's related to me. You got it. You got it. I got to stick with family on this one. Sure. Yeah, you totally understand. Because she'd be upset if I didn't. But yeah, if I had to, like I said, well, I've got the plans. It's back from the house. It's ready to go. It's just we're waiting for the house to sell. I think when the snow melts, I'm going to get some different textures when the flowers just come up. I've had it sold three times already. Just financing stuff on the buyer's side to follow through. So I mean, I've got a lot of interest in it. And there's been a lot of open on it. Yeah. So it's just a matter of getting the right person in there. Yeah, you're in good hands with Diana Carroll. She's a great gal. Yep, yep. No, she's super nice. I already told her if I had to, if it came down to it, she'd be the one that I'd call to have listed. But right now, like I said, even after the winter months, I've had so much activity on it. I think the spring is going to be kind of my ticket here. Sure, sure. Do you already have a builder for your new house? All picked up? Yeah, image builders has got it all all ready to go. They're just waiting to send it to the city right now. They're just waiting on me. OK, all right. Well, hey, I appreciate it. And good luck on the sale. Yeah, let me know. Thank you. All right. Well, as far as, I mean, it does save a lot of time. So I appreciate that little word of advice. Because that saves me a lot of time. You see there? Her sister was an agent. Now you don't have to go look at the house and go down a rabbit hole that isn't going to lead anywhere. Right. And normally, I don't do that. Normally, I meet them face to face, but saves an hour and a half. Dude, did you not watch my video of the two most important questions to ask every buyer and seller? Why are they selling? Yeah. Yeah.  Can't remember the other one. And is there an agent you're going to work with? Yeah, yeah, OK. I mean, that's the most important questions right there. I mean, how to establish is where we stand in this situation. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it saves so much time. When you establish it up front, now we know where we stand. Now we can make a decision. Do we want to continue pressing, even though they said they have an agent? I'm not a big fan of that, but certain situations, I am. Right? Yeah. But the thing is, is now you know up front, and you can make that decision. You know what I'm saying? If you want to waste more time there or not. So yeah, man, it's all about opportunities. So touching on the mirroring part that you were talking about earlier, when they're in a lower tone, our goal is to kind of bring up the excitement a little bit, right? And get them pumped up. Yeah. Wake them up. Yeah. All right. OK. It's good. Yeah. Wake them up, you know. Yeah, man. Look, I got you. Well, I was just calling to see, you know, if there's anything I can do for you, or how sold, or whatever your spill is. But you've got to get some excitement going, man. You've got to be happy. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. So yeah. All in all, I think you did good, man. I think that, yeah, I think you learned a lot today, too. And I think you just need to just keep making calls and getting better and better and better, you know? Sure. Well, I'm going to hit it right after this. Any other questions or anything else I can do for you, bro? You're good, man. Appreciate your time. Really do. OK. Well, I guess that's it. Just reach out if there's anything I can do. Keep me informed. Stay in touch. Let me know about your results and let me know as you have questions and problems. And if any of you watch and want to do this with me, just reach out. He messes me yesterday and here we are today. So I'm willing to do these kind of things whenever you guys want. So I'm going to get back to work myself from trying to sell some properties, you know what I'm saying? Cool, man. Good luck. Congrats on the listing today. Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

to the live that I was completely not planning on doing, but it's been a while since I've been live, so here we are. Not really expecting anybody to be on here, but I just want to show you something. Okay, why? Shutting down. Oh, okay. Okay, I want to show you guys something. So I have to decide something like today or like tomorrow. And so I'm asking you guys, this is for everybody that's in New Zealand specifically. If you're outside of New Zealand, this will also be available to you, but that's not part of my decision today. So let me show you guys, see if I can switch my camera, here we go. So here's my recipe e-book. You can see it, what I did is, I'm just going to show it to you, this is what it is, this is what it is, and then I'll come back and talk. Here we go. So I have created this as an e-book, and I've been selling a lot of them. People like it. And so I've been getting lots of requests for this to be in a physical form. Are you interested in getting this in a physical form? Because I cannot use drop shippers in New Zealand because the pricing for it to get to you, it's too much, like nobody's going to pay that. So I've been talking to a printer in New Zealand. I would have to print hundreds in order for it to be a reasonable price for you guys and for me to make anything. I will ship it to you, which is no problem. I mean, I'm just going to do a couple hundred.  Are you interested in this? I think she's basically just got back to me and is like, I can get this to you by Christmas, before Christmas, and it'll still be like, right, I mean, up to like, probably Thanksgiving, it'll be available. So it'd be like November 25th. Just, I just have to make a decision. So this is why I'm on here. So do you want me to do that? It's going to be like a spiral bound one. That'll be really easy to use. And so basically, if you don't know, the recipe book is like all of the best American recipes using New Zealand ingredients. Like I have figured out how to make the fillet cheese steak, the Chicago deep style, deep dish pizza, you know, biscuits and gravy, you know, like how to make that here. And so that's why I did it because I thought, you know, I always take in pictures of things I'm making. People like gave me the recipes. I just did this. And these are all like just pictures I've taken.  If you, I'm just going to show you again. So here it is. We got pumpkin pie. We have sloppy joes. So good. Okay, now you guys, these chocolate chip cookies are literally the best. Quick shot. Let's see, my bruschetta is the best. My buttermilk pancakes. These are my grandmother's peanut butter cookies that I always make at Christmas. Okay, so in each one, like it's just the recipe and the picture, it's just straightforward.  This is the fillet cheese steak. You do not have to have the fake cheese on it. I never use it with the fake cheese, but for this purposes, I wanted it to be authentic. Cornbread, it's actually easy and cheap to make in New Zealand. My cherry pie, my enchiladas, my burgers. So you're getting the drift. Okay, so this is it. It's not a big recipe book, it's like 20 recipes, but it's like all of the ones that you guys are always asking me about. And yeah, so physical copy. Do we want it? Cause we can already get an e-book and an e-copy, but I just know a lot of people kind of prefer to just cook without using, you know, technology at the same time that they're cooking. So that's what I was thinking. So let me know if this is of interest to you, cause I gotta make a decision and like, if I make the decision and I'm printing a lot and it's costing me a lot, so I'm gonna wait to sell them if there's interest. So please reach out to me, just comment on this video. It would be fine. If you are not in New Zealand, I will be putting it out on Amazon. I can probably do that just as quickly as I can do that because I am already an Amazon seller in the US and so I can do that for you guys and then that's drop shipped and then that's reasonable. And so that's fine, but I just need to make a decision about people in New Zealand. So let me know. Thank you for watching. Talk soon. Hope you guys are doing well.
