Oh, hi there, I didn't hear you come in. We got a different setup for today's show. Welcome to Adam Does Movies Live. We are doing a live taping of several episodes of Bad Movie Pitch. Not Bad Movie Pitch, that was a different show I did. Bad Movie Editions. I used to do them back in the Diz, slaying for back in the day. Haven't done them in a long time, but I'm hoping to, well, twofold this thing. One, I would like to make this maybe one, seven to 10 minute video, or several short YouTube shorts and TikToks going forward. So today we're gonna be covering a few different movies. I'm gonna be doing The Flash, The Little Mermaid. I'm gonna be doing The Flash and The Little Mermaid, that sounds good. Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer, Opera Singer. Maybe Barbie, maybe Indiana Jones, Indiana Bones. There's a lot of things we can do and this is a fun one if you're tuning in live, which I highly suggest you do going forward. Gonna be very collaborative. I'm gonna be taking quotes from you if you'd like, not even a super chat required. However, I would appreciate super chats when possible. And in fact, we could do something really fun where we say if you throw a super chat out with a suggestion and I take the suggestion, I'll shout your name out at the end of the actual edited video. That might be something special we can do. Otherwise, I always try to do a little Q and A at the end if there's any super chats that come in for those people. Hopefully audio's good. Hopefully everything looks decent. Why was that a rubber tree plant? Yes, Bruce, that's just sprucing the place up. Keep in mind, we have an angled shot here but I am actually gonna be looking and talking into this camera when filming. When I put the crappier webcam on top, we had this really bad glare. You can see that light off my hands, how bright that is. It looked really bad on my face. Anyway, yeah, that's the plan.  It should be fun. It should be a good time. I don't know if you saw my cat's review I posted. I was pretty happy with that one. Patreon supporter, Mithril member Matt Sklarow. I think I say his last name right. I hope so. He's a buddy of mine now. We see movies together once in a while. He suggested Cats and I think that was a perfect movie to do a review on. It's like 20 minutes long. It's pretty fantastic. Those are the kind of ones I like recommendations for. They get a decent amount of views. They're very entertaining and I have a fun time making fun of terrible films. So it works out for everyone. Great suggestion. Okay, other news. Movie wise, what came out? Oh, the Craven trailer. Someone was asking if I was gonna react to the Craven trailer. Here's my reaction.  It looks really bad.  Morbius, Venom, and now Craven, of course. Looks so generic. They look like such schlocky, mid 90s action superhero films. The bad ones, Ghost Rider, Jonah Hex. That's where I put the Sony cinematic universe outside of Into the Spider-Verse. And yes, I said perfect, Kevin.  Okay, it might be because it's really dark in here. I can pop the light on and it'll probably smooth it out. However, it's gonna like blind my face and I'm gonna have to tweak stuff. We might have to just deal with the choppiness. If it's not too bad. If it's better than the glitchy camera I had before, let's just deal with it. A lot of technology issues going on all the time over here. We weren't built for this. All right, I'm gonna start. Let's go ahead and dive in to the flash.  I've been running fast and loose today. My wife had a two and a half hour doctor appointment this morning. I was trying to do my day job from there on my laptop. She just had to get some chest stuff figured out. She's had a cough for like six months, which is super annoying for the rest of the family. I don't even care about her anymore or her health. I just want her to stop coughing. Joking, obviously I care. That's why we tag along for this stuff.  We'll just keep an eye on it. It's one of the many gifts that keeps on giving with the health. And then I came home, had to do a bunch of work, for work, and then I edited that cat's video. That took a couple hours to be honest with you. Then I had to go take my daughter to volleyball. I did some Pokemon Go walking slash hunting while that was happening. And then I read to my son Connor we're on book two of Aragon and scrambled to eat dinner with my daughter, Connor and Lindsey ate separately because we were off at volleyball.  Rambling aside, let's get going. So like I said, I only took a few notes for options.  I highly suggest you check out the playlist. There's some of my favorite videos I've done.  All right, so the flash is starting. I'm just gonna pretend to be walking in. I got to turn on my camera, record, test. That's coming from there. And we are off to the races. So I have to pretend like I'm talking to the director, casting directors. Hello, Adam from Adam Does Movies, here to try out for a plethora of roles in the new flash film coming out shortly. I heard Ezra Miller is in talks to reprise his role. I think I can do a better job, so enjoy. All right, let's see here. Barry, I am you from the future. You're me? Yes. Wait, we never went to jail? Because of all Ezra Miller's issues in real life. Wait, we never went to jail? That's wild.  And this was another one. There's a scene in the movie which it's like right away, but he puts a baby in a microwave. It's been all over, meaming like crazy. These babies are falling off of a building and he protects one of the babies by putting it in the microwave. People online reverse this to make it look like he microwaved a baby and then took it out. So I'm just gonna do that portion. There won't be any spoilers for the flash, by the way. This is as close to a spoiler as we're gonna get. Okay, I read the script and I'm saving babies right now, right? Okay, baby, baby, baby. And then microwave. Oh, I thought he ate the bait. Okay, misinterpretation of the script there. Sorry, my bad. All right, I've studied Ezra Miller's past performances All right, I've studied Ezra Miller's past performances running as the flash. If we replace him with me, which highly suggests we do, I will do my best to kind of mimic that style of run. Let's all go to the moon. Oh, I know, Wabi. Let's all go to the lobby. Let's all go to the lobby. You like that? I'm also workshopping my own runs. Take what you want from them. They're like baby T-Rex running arms. Hey, is it that intern's job to just look hot or can she actually give me a water?  Thank you. Oh God, what is this, aquafina? No, I'm legitimately tired. Jan Rose with the $5 Super Chat. Hi, Adam, excited to be here. We thank you for working hard to entertain us. Thank you, Jan. I appreciate that. Vinny says I'm embarrassed for all of us. Okay, Justin says Adam has a lot of confidence. Yeah, it's a unwarranted sense of confidence. All right, what's another thing we can do from the flash? Not spoilers, no spoilers. Let's see. Trying to think about the commercial. Actually, let's do Michael Keaton's Batman. Okay, in case Ezra said in stone, why don't you try me out as the Batman? I know Keaton, I know Keaton's coming back, but he's not a spring chicken. Okay, things can happen. He can fall down, he can hurt himself. I'm a backup at this point.   Okay, let's get nuts. He's doing kind of a Pacino. Okay, you wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts. Kind of a Pacino version. I think that works. That works well. Okay, this is just showing off a little bit of my bat fighting skills. I have a Batarang. Snap it, snap it, snap it. Those guys are done. Batarang comes back. Takes out the bad guy. It comes back to me like it was nothing. Pop it back in the utility belt. What else can we do from the Flash? Feel free to send suggestions in the comments. Otherwise keep in mind these are for shorts. So this could very well be, we could be done already with that. I don't know if there's anything else I wanna say about the Flash. It's a real natural, I'm Batman. Say hello to my Batarang. I can't get over the Pacino thing now, I'm sorry, that's the performance you're gonna get out of me here. Hooah! All right, let's move on. Yeah, we'll stop there. I'll say, okay, I'll close down the flash. Thank you for the opportunity. I'll be in my trailer if you need me. It's one I rented and I've parked in the back lot over here. Yeah, I know it's trespassing, but I'm getting the job, so we'll see ya. It's not trespassing if I get the job. That's the entire point. Sorry for yelling. Thank you for the water. I love a deep fake as Pacino's back. Okay, we are moving to the Little Mermaid. Is this the wow? Wow, is all I can say. I cannot believe I am auditioning at the House of Mouse for different roles for the live action Little Mermaid. This is such an exciting time for me. Thank you. Thank you for accepting my, what did I give him? I didn't give him anything. Try talking softer to get into Michael Keaton, says Mitch. Oh, that's not a bad idea. I could, let me throw a couple more flashings in for Michael Keaton. All right, if you want a one-to-one, if you want a one-to-one comparison of Michael Keaton, I'll give it to you right now. You want to get lots? You want to get lots? You want a one-to-one comparison of Keaton, I'll give it to you right now. You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts. Should I do the Little Mermaid Super Racist, this aerial?  It's like so bad.  All right, the Little Mermaid. Neck can't move when you say do you want to get nuts? Oh, damn, that's, yeah, because he can't, he can't move, turn his neck. I'm Keaton's Batman fighting. Okay, we'll see if we use that. Obvious choice, the obvious choice, of course, is for me to, the obvious choice, of course, is for me to, I can't talk. The obvious choice, of course, is for me to play Prince Eric. I already have the sea legs, I'm already, you know, very, I'm already have the sea legs, I'm already very proficient on a boat. My uncle has one, I've been on it several times. I mean, I wasn't actually on the boat, I was on the dock. They won't let me come on the boat, but, you know, I got to wave to him at one point and my foot actually kind of jostled the side of it. Well, I don't know if jostled's a word, but I said it, okay? Can we just focus on this, please?  Okay, let me get into character.  Yep, fumbling, stupid, idiotic, looks kind of attractive, but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. He's just an NPC. Okay, perfect, yeah. Hello, Ariel, it's me, Prince Eric. Too much? Hello, Ariel, it's me, Prince Eric. Is there something out in the ocean? I know, I don't want to be that guy, but I saw a lot of black-looking women leave this audition room recently, so I'm starting to think maybe Ariel's getting a change of appearance a bit. I'm thinking maybe we go full-blown change and say Ariel's now a white dude, middle-aged, 40, looks that can kill, voice of an angel. Let's try it out, okay?  Isn't it neat? What? Yeah, I know it's look at this stuff. Did you miss the part where I'm a middle-aged dude? We don't say stuff. Let's take it. Listen, I don't want to have to pull the race card right now, but I can also do a black-sassy female. I don't want to have to pull the race card right now, but I can do a black-sassy female little mermaid, okay? I can do an Ariel.  I'm not going up to the surface to see no man. Not with this voice. That's the door? Okay, well, thank you. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it. I was a little confused when I perused the script for this. It said Scuttlebutt was a woman, but last time I checked in the original it was a dude. So I will be trying out for Scuttlebutt. Squawk, Ariel. Don't trust Ursula. Squawk. I also noticed there's a new song written for Scuttlebutt. I will of course try out for that part now. I noticed there's a song. I noticed Scuttlebutt has a song this time too. You better believe I'm going to sing it for you now. Hey, wake up, wake up, wake up. Hey, have you not heard the Scuttlebutt? Scuttlebutt? Your butt? Oh my God. No, the gossip, the buzz, the who said what, who does that? Yeah, the Scuttlebutt. Oh God, I can't remember that. No, the gossip, the buzz, the who said what, said this, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. We'll see that.  Oh God. I'll just keep, I'll keep bringing it back in between takes. So it'll have me sing a little bit, then I'll go to Ariel. I'm like sweating through this shirt. Well, I was flying over land and sea and ear to the ground. Then I came flying here for you to see. Well, I was flying over land and sea to, to the ground. Well, I was flying over land and sea and ear to the ground. Then I came flying here for you to see. Then I came flying here for you to see to hear what I found. And hear what I found, that's close enough. stand a scuddle butt scuddle butt wait scuddle butt scuddle butt skipping the bop scabby doo bop yeah goof troop I got I got I see you I see you okay that's enough of the scuddle butt song yeah I was trying to sound like aquafina I was channeling her a little I saw her walk out of that edition no more than two minutes ago okay so she's the competition I can match it nay I can do better you might as well call me to Sonny baby cuz I'm better than aquafina yeah I went there okay I'm now gonna be playing aerial post losing voice what was I doing there oh I was being aerial happy to see Eric but then finding out that he's actually gay so I traded my voice for absolutely no reason I know it's on the script I'm shaking things up shaking things up a little bit real wait don't go in there that was my flounder my version suffering from type 2 diabetes this type 2 diabetes a thing okay I don't think I need any more from the little mermaid I was gonna try out for Ursula as well but I see Melissa McCarthy is scheduled to be on this callback so no notes she's perfect okay thank you for your time you know how to find me I'll be under the sea isn't that neat have you heard this cattle bat right we are done with the little mermaid merman well my camera's out of focus focus oh my god I hope that wasn't gone the whole time what in the hell happened here really hope it wasn't out of focus the whole time that would really that would be a bummer I honestly don't know how to pronounce this I'm gonna is it Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Oppenheimer okay we're now doing Oppenheimer hello Adam from Adam does movies of course subscribe if you haven't already I think most of you are shaking your head no like you've never heard of me that's fair I'm gonna be trying out for a plethora of roles from the hit new film by Christopher Nolan called Oppenheimer I'm gonna be trying out for a bunch of new roles for the hit new Christopher Nolan film called Oppenheimer that's not right Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Oppenheimer I'm told this film takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe it's a sequel to the Avengers saga that's a that's not true well then well the Lance is gonna have some explaining to do when he gets home well then Terry's gonna have some explaining to do when I get home man is my face red right now so what's this thing all about yeah Matt Gaier the I'm not talking about the focus on this camera I'm talking about the focus on the camera I'm actually recording into it was doing some focal issues I could probably I can't really run the other camera so you can see it it's just a mystery to you until the final product is revealed later okay really Wow World War two crazy and a lot of people died no I'm I've never heard of it that's that's wild so this is a true story crazy not in the MCU though not even remotely okay I mean I'll still try out but I'm like I'm not like upset if I don't get a part I'll just be honest with you right now have my axe and my you have my bow and my Oppenheimer Optimus Hymer I like that Matt Gaier Optimus Hymer Optimus Hymer Optimus Hymer quotes from the movie quick we're gonna race against the Nazis we're gonna race against the Nazis and I know what it means if a Nazi has a bomb doing kind of a kind of my own take on some sort of a Southern twang I hope you appreciate it a follow-up question who are the Nazis let's go recruit some scientists I'm a cowboy in this version why would we go into the middle of nowhere for we know how why would we go in the middle of nowhere for who knows how long why how about because this is the most important thing to ever happen in history why why how about because this is the most important thing to ever happen in

commercial with the movie references was awesome the first five or six times I saw it I've now seen it probably 50 times and I agree it's really get an old hat which is nice hey you guys I probably know the whole damn commercial you can't sit here you broke my heart Fredo god damn no one has a suggestion oh Barbie okay Barbie we can do Barbie okay I don't really know what to say for it hi Adam from Adam does movies subscribe I'm sure most of you are already seen a lot of heads shaking no that's that's sad that's depressing but anyway I'm here to try out for a series of roles for the new film Barbie one I have eyed up and I think you can probably guess who it is Barbie oh suddenly people aren't so progressive anymore when a man wants to try out for a female role isn't that fun isn't that refreshing well strap in a holes because I'm gonna Barbie the crap out of this performance now I have to look up lines from the Barbie movie does Margot Robbie even talk in this I legitimately don't know if she said anything in the trailers yeah hey Barbie can I come to your house tonight sure I don't have anything big plan just a giant blow thought I might stay over tonight why because we're girlfriend and boyfriend to do what I'm not actually sure I don't get it what's the implication here how are we as the audience supposed to know what they possibly mean by this this trailer kind of sucks I don't even know what to I don't even know what to take from this well it looks like this beach was a little too much beach for you Ken if I wasn't severely injured I'd beat you off right now I'll beat you up with you any day anyone who wants to beach him off has to beach me off first I will beat I will beach both of you off at the same time I will beach both of you off at the same time come on Ken's no one's gonna beach anyone off I'm Barbie I also don't understand the beach off thing what's the joke here everything seems so vague I need things hit over my head with a hammer beach off does that just mean you're not on the beach I'm so confused by this hope you guys like the I hope you've enjoyed the performance so far I'm gonna leave you how I leave every single audition I've ever done and it seems more appropriate here because it is Barbie and that's by singing a rendition of aquas Barbie girl okay yeah I'll go are you going to see the new insidious movie it looks really bad I'm not gonna lie it looks really bad I've only seen the first insidious and that film kind of lost me when they revealed the bad guy who looked like Darth Maul I did not find him scary but I did really kind of dig the film up until the final 15 20 minutes when they go into the that nightmare world that did not work for me at all I didn't see the second or third or however many there have been and red door looks really low budget to me so I I might see it if it's the only big movie like I go to a movie every Thursday to review sometimes it's against my will most of times I'm most the times most the time I'm kind of excited for it so we'll see what comes out that week unless it's going right to peacock or some crap then I'll check it out in the cock come on Barbie let's go party I'm going to what's the movie that comes out me and matter going to the Jennifer Lawrence movie this Thursday I have said for years I know I'm not alone of course that Jennifer Lawrence should be doing comedy because if you've ever seen her in interviews she's funny as hell she's legitimately one of the funniest women I've seen in Hollywood at least in the last decade or so really always charismatic and puts on a good show I think she's gonna knock it out of the park in whatever the name of the movie is I forgot I know it's a double entendre Jennifer Laura Katniss Aberdeen no hard feelings get it hard feelings because she's trying to sleep with a young man that's the premise I think it's gonna be funny but we'll see we shall see okay that concludes I think that concludes the bad movie auditions we did four of them I can stop the recording which is 40 minutes long I can stop this recording which is of course the same 40 minutes long save bad movie auditions that's good I will take some Q&A preferably well no I mean super chats are nice that's what helps keep the show afloat Jan Rose threw one out earlier today it was a beautiful super chat very powerful I loved it so I appreciate any super chat so you can throw my way I'll take some questions I suppose Justin Merritt asks have you ever seen Red Sparrow I have seen Red Sparrow it's a decent flick it's basically black widow pre-black widow an R rated black widow with some tasteful nudity by Jennifer Lawrence I think she realized that once the fappening happened if anybody remembers the masterpiece that was the fappening when the Hollywood stars mostly female had their iCloud photos leaked in videos and we got to see a lot of the goods from some of these women she was like screw it I might as well just go nude at this point and so she did at least in that I don't know if it was body double stuff I'm pretty sure it was her the real G money says what's your real job I'm a web designer and developer front-end developer mainly I'm stupid when it comes to like hooking in a databases and stuff that's back-end work but I'll I can take a website from beginning to end pretty pretty easily most the time unless there's anything too fancy that needs to happen I do a lot of the I do a lot of the like front-facing websites my company works on big clients like BMW Harley Davidson Polaris US Bank a lot of boring shit but it pays the bills occasionally I get to do fun stuff as well but for the most part it's it's pretty pretty lame but I've been doing it a long time I've been web I've been doing web design and development for 15 years or so God how long has it been yeah probably 15 or 16 years Justin Merritt says full stack that is the terminology the kids use today full stack thank you Justin although I don't consider myself full stack because oftentimes when you hear that terminology it's referring to react or angular or some of these JS frameworks and I don't know crap about those I could learn them but I don't have free time to learn them unless I decided not to do this show then I could learn them but my company is Laravel which is PHP which is basic you know pretty basic language it's not much more complicated than HTML PHP is just a easy you know straightforward coding software and we don't do a lot of software as itself it's all boring web development stuff for websites not so much applications which is where I think angular and react are more useful and this has become a boring conversation now for a lot of people understand the real G money any advice for college I'm going trying to get into a similar field I I don't know if I would say I'm the best candidate to push for college I slept through my college experience the first two attempts to be fair they were cheap colleges at least more on the technical end of things because as many know my dad died when I was late in high school so my motivation and perspectives were at an all-time low my mom made me go to college which was to be fair on her part that the right thing to do to get my butt moving but I was still grieving and feeling like crap so most the time I just didn't go to class and I slept in my car listen to Jimmy eat world albums and felt bad for myself I did eventually attend a two-year associates degree program at Brown College which was a scam college it was a for-profit college like a lot of them are they don't even exist anymore they they claim to have 90% job placement they didn't help with anything I had massive student loans that I finished paying off not I mean I just finished paying them off like six years ago and I didn't learn a single thing about web development there I learned everything about web design and development on the fly to be fair the only reason I got my first job at a legit web company web firm a small shop was because my boss was from Harvard and he saw on my resume that I was from Brown he thought it meant Brown University not Brown College the scam school because I had moved to Arizona from Minnesota and Brown College was only housed in Minnesota so that got my foot in the door here's the here's the best advice I can give you if you're looking to go into web development and design just start doing it now I have my daughter who's 14 learning coding she's going through Code Academy I pay I don't even know how much a month she goes through it and then runs by me with the code or any questions she has I look them over tell her how she's not properly closing like an unordered list or how she needs to you know use proper tags and all that crap it's it's very easy simple stuff and it's actually a ton of fun she loves doing it so I would really recommend before you even are like looking at colleges which oftentimes can take a ton of money and don't really provide you what you need to get into the workforce especially in the field I'm in freaking just do it on your own and build a portfolio and I can tell you a lot of companies will look at that and they will love that a lot more than the little certificate you got if you can give them real-world examples and show that you know the skills that's all you really need you show up day one at a job interview and you have a freaking website pulled up a portfolio with some design examples and some basic web design examples a smart phone display whatever they're going to be very impressed and you could probably even try to get an internship before you're out of high school I don't know if internships are still a thing but from what I can tell in most areas people are hungry for workers they're having a hard time still finding people that are genuinely good at what they do or are motivated and want to show up to work I've gone into a lot of I shouldn't say a lot but I've gotten a lot of businesses like a Barnes and Noble or you run over to a Wendy's or something to grab something to eat and the people there are so deflated and just seem like they don't give a crap there used to be a sort of cadence you had to have when these jobs were available for me you had to smile you had to be friendly you had to be engaging now people just seem miserable and keep in mind when I was in high school working at Subway and these crappy jobs I was making 750 an hour it's not like times wherever great as far as pay went they were really bad but man I fucking worked hard and so when I go into these types of places I so badly want to just like get back there and start cleaning shit up and be like this is how you work at a Chipotle bro watch me get this done fill up the cups fill up the straws I don't know there's something there's something to be said about just having a good work ethic and we're all gonna you know I mean at the end of the day doesn't really matter but to me that's what keeps me driven that's what keeps me getting up in the morning and keeps me motivated to go so that's my advice to you is to be really motivated and don't just stick with the basic traditional go-to-high-school go-to-college mantra obviously keep college in the back pocket but I would freaking get at it now I know that was a long rant but yeah might have some use to someone Vinnie's popping off in the chat and 750 an hour is still the minimum wage welcome to America is it really bubba no way no way that's insane if it is that's absolutely insane okay well on that note if there's any more questions feel free to shoot them at me otherwise this was a fun little this was a fun little video I think hopefully we got something out of it I appreciate oh god I'm gonna knock over the mic right before this ends yeah okay coming up for the rest of the week what do I have I have nothing I oh I have a review for I did the review already I have a kung fu hustle review that I just randomly did because I saw it with my son I'm like I got to talk about kung fu hustle I have a review for turbo kid for Gregory Coburn that's already filmed I'll be editing that I did Matt's review for cats today so we can cut that off I will have a review for the Jennifer Lawrence movie on Friday it's already Wednesday tomorrow I wouldn't mind trying to find some time to watch the new extraction on Netflix although I didn't see extraction one do I need to see extraction one to review the sequel am I losing out on something if I don't see the first one I'm guessing not but let me know if you've seen it there was one final super chat I saw right at the end here by Justin Merritt for $5 as alright smart guy let's talk movies again I'm looking for my next custom movie review I'll discuss it here snatch or Dante's Peak Justin I freaking love snatch it's awesome I have never talked about it on the channel and I would love to rewatch that movie so snatch for me is an easy pick Dante's Peak I'm not sure if you know this or not but I have actually done a movie feuds on Dante's Peak versus Volcano Tony from the hack Tony from hack the movies and I did that video it's fun it's light it's playful Dante's Peak is much better but I had to play devil's advocate so I went with Volcano so you could definitely check that video out it's not the oldest I think we probably did it two years ago it's one of the it's one of the last movie feuds I did it's probably the seventh movie feuds from the last Dante's Peak is in there but I'll definitely whatever you want Dante's Peak is solid I just think snatch is fantastic big fan of that movie alright and with that final crescendo I definitely say watch cats if you haven't I was pretty happy with how that turned out it's one of the faith one of the favorites I've done recently again push the channel if you can tell your grandma tell Billy down the road we got to get to 70,000 subs we have to do it it's paramount it's paramount plus to get there and Justin says sold snatch it is Justin if you could do me a favor you do me a flavor let me know that on patreon as well in the private message say Adam you're doing snatch I will put it down on the list right now just to get it added Justin merit snatch that's a fantastic pick and yeah we got one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen on the list and I've been doing about three a week so I look forward in just a few weeks not that not that bad and I should end with if you want to become a patreon it's very easy patreon.com slash Adam does movies there's a $1 tier which was foolish of me I probably should have started with the $2 tier or higher $1 just so little but you could become a $1 tier and it's still it's still doing something otherwise there's a $10 there's the $30 which as Justin has pointed out you get to pick a movie for me to review so that's a good one these tiers are also on YouTube via that YouTube join button okay I'm gonna stop there that's my little spiel let's get to 70,000 by Friday thank you guys very much for watching and I'll see you real soon take care


You understand about the inventor, you have to understand the advances that have been made in submarine technology before him. The first submarine, a lot of people ask, was it humbly? Is it alligator? Was it turtle? No. Actually, it goes back to 1620. A Dutchman named Cornelius van Drebel meets all the criteria for a submarine. He has an ability to move on the X, Y, and Z axes, stays underwater for a while, and he has something mysterious called a chemical liquor to refresh the air. This will come back again and again and be referred to as the bucket and bellows approach. It may be something as simple as tossing water into a bucket of dried lime, which activates or slakes it and attracts the CO2 molecule. It doesn't split it like a modern air scrubber does, but it releases all the other gases you can breathe. This goes much further back than we thought it would be. Supposedly, King James II took a dive in this, too. That we can't prove. By the time of the 18th century, submarines are pretty calm, but every five or six years, someone has a functioning submarine. A lot of them are French at the beginning because they're involved in wars with England. There's also a theory that they wanted to get Napoleon out of exile, stuff like that. I think after a while, they were just bitten by the bug and liked the idea. The Germans have a couple. The U.S. has a couple. And Villeau makes a salvage boat in 1859 right before the beginning of the war. During the rebellion, there's good hard evidence for almost 30 submarines and oblique references here and there to a great many more. We don't talk about them too much up in the north because we won and they're considered illegal. At the very worst or very best, they're considered bad form. This is a period of the Victorian age.  If I'm not going to do that like a sniper, snipers are considered murderers. Well, a submarine is an underwater sniper. I can take out your ship with a several hundred men without giving any warning whatsoever. However, wartime sees both sides making submarines, hammers and tongs. Now, I would love to tell you this is Brutus Villeau. I would love to tell you any of these guys are Brutus Villeau. The truth is, despite almost 20 years of searching, we don't know of any picture of Brutus Villeau. Nor do we know who any of these guys are. So take your pick and that's Brutus if you want. We know a fair amount about his life. He's born in 1794, which is actually a fortunate time to be born, even though his country is involved in the old Napoleonic Wars, because they will end just as he comes of draftable age in France. So he never serves in the French military. His father's a printer and while we expect him to follow in that vein, he's sort of a renaissance man all over the map. We'll go through these pretty quickly here, but he has inventions that will span 20, 30 years and address a wide variety of fields. The important thing for us is in 1832 he designs, builds and demonstrates his first submarine. He may have cut his teeth with a fellow named Castera who actually never built a sub, but was recognized as the biggest French advocate of submarines under the Napoleon. He calls it a fish boat or a bateau poisson. It's got a few unique features because propellers are just now starting to catch on and it's really not sure they're going to really stay the course. He's got folding propellers. Now propeller just means something that pushes something else. The valves in your heart in a medical book of the period are called propellers because they push the blood around. You would call ski poles propellers. So this confused us for a while because there's obviously no prop on there, but even the folding ores are called propellers. He's got watertight gauntlets in there because the idea is you look through a glass hole in the bottom of the boat, look at your salvage, reach out with watertight gauntlets or opera gloves, and tie a rope around the salvage, go back to the surface. They're reasonably watertight. Most interestingly, he has what looks like a double hull ballast tank here.  There's really no room for ballast tanks, but the double hull thing intrigues us. He goes on to do a whole variety of things. There he makes his one contribution to the world of printing. He has frictionless pump. He's a civil engineer, flotation devices. He works for the French government at one point in time. He is seconded then to the Royal Sugar Refinery in Greece, which seems an odd assignment, which you have to understand the French and British has just helped the Greeks toss the Turks out, and the price the Greeks are having to pay is that the French and British are coming in and taking over industry and the government. So in effect, he's working for France and all the proceeds are going back to France as well. This might be where he actually made his money. He's not only knighted by the French government for setting up the business and fails at attempting to introduce photography degrees, but he discovers Asphodel. Previous to this, sugar is made from beetroot, and there's a fair saccharine content in there. With Asphodel, it's six times the amount, plus this grows wild on the hills of Greece. So it revolutionizes the industry and puts a lot of money in the pockets of the shareholders back in France, and probably Vilaois as well. He's then knighted by the French government. He's now a double knight, and this is when his name legitimately changes to Vilaois. When we began researching, we thought, oh, he must have pulled an Ellis Island thing, where instead of V it, I'd become Von Veit when my ancestors get off the boat. No, he's legitimately a French knight at this point in time. He has all manner of patents here, an optical rangefinder. This is one he tried to push, and you would think it would catch on at the beginning of the Civil War, but the government wouldn't bite for some reason. And finally, his last patent is for a unique wind instrument. Again, all over the map. He's got a head for science and engineering. The episode in the woods of Pennsylvania from 1849 to 50 proves he has no head for business. He's working for a group called the DeRoy family. He is supposed to set up sawmills and coal mines, but he has no head for business whatsoever. This is a total, total failure. It ends up with lawsuits both in France and the United States, and we are not certain how much money or who's it was Vilaois lost. But he runs back to France with his tail between his legs and stays there for a couple of years. In 1856, he moves back to Philadelphia. Now, Philadelphia has a large enclave of French expats. So he never has to learn English and never will. Oddly enough, he marries Eulalie Deroux, who's a French spinster. Notice it's the Deroux family again. We don't really know if they bailed him out or they're forgiving him for spending their money. Doubtful it's true love, a reward, a penalty. It's probably more a deal.  We have no idea how that worked. Happily for historians, she speaks flawless English, and more importantly, she has perfect penmanship. Thank goodness, because he has neither. In 1857, there's an accident that changes the course of Vilaois' life. The Central America was $72 million in period money and gold founders off the coast of the Carolinas. We sort of lose track nowadays just how much gold was transiting the oceans and the isthmus of Panama from the gold fields in California. This was not an uncommon amount of money to bring back. They would actually have parades from the docks to the banks in the streets of New York and Philadelphia. They'd bring literally through wagons of gold. The banks said we have to loan more money. We have so much gold in the vaults we can't store anymore. This is how much gold there is out there. This ship would not be found until like the past decade or so, way deeper than anybody could have managed at this point in time, but they don't know that. They think it's going down just a couple hundred feet of water, which is just about the limit of salvage divers and also submarines. There's a coalition made up a lot of the DeRue family and other mostly French lawyers, politicians, gentlemen of the means, if you will, they hire Vilaois to build them a submarine because he has experience. He's recognized as a civil engineer of the first grade in France. His reputation has preceded him despite the fiasco in the woods of Pennsylvania. They used to build a sub. The salvage boat, which is what we'll call this stage of it, is begun in Philadelphia at Bush Hill Ironworks, and we may have our only portrait of Vilaois here, the gentleman towing something in the foreground there, which looks suspiciously like his first submarine. Unfortunately, it's from his back. This is about 1857, 1858. This is our only peak inside the submarine at this time. A reporter's allowed in for about five minutes. Vilaois keeps his cards very close to his vest. For instance, the ballast tanks are not shown here. We know the ballast tanks had pumps to admit water, but they were not rigid. They were actually rubber-coated or latex-coated canvas bags. And to push out ballast, the crew was told, lean against this one. Now, lean against that one. Of course, if they go down too deep and you can't lean hard enough, you all stay down there. So it's primitive. We've got some sort of propulsion here. The men would actually tug on these ropes back and forth, rotate the wheel on the back, which would spin a propeller. We've also got a diver's hatch. We know this worked because he is a bit of a showman. A couple of times, the sub is demonstrated and the crew would be on top, have it towed to where it was going to be demonstrated, waved to the crowd, get in the boat from the top hatch.  Now, you'll notice this hatch is open to the entire hull of the submarine, which means he has to pressurize the entire hull to keep the water out. This is a very primitive approach to this that will be remedied with the coming of war. It's demonstrated twice in 1859. This is sort of a super-sized version of it. One thing that's not showing here that we know existed in reality, and Villawa may be the inventor, there are bow planes here. In doing the research for this book, I looked at every picture I could find and read every description I could of submarines before this salvage boat. I think Villawa invents the hydroplane. No sub before has bow planes on it until this boat. Unfortunately, it is never perfected. It never works totally properly. No salvage operation is ever undertaken and is invested for about $300,000. These are different sites along the river where it was built and then demonstrated and finally he ends up in Delanco across the river in New Jersey. Now, in the federal census, you might wonder why the book is called Natural Genius. I actually hate searching for it online because it's like Chuck V at Natural Genius. That's not what I meant at all. He's recorded twice at Marcus Hook in Pennsylvania where Villawa is working at the time. He puts down his correct age. He puts down he's a civil engineer. He lists his wife with her age and everything. But he lives in Philadelphia at a boarding house. It's run by an Irish woman, Mrs. Foy. And I can just hear her voice whenever the census taker says, what's he do? She's not really sure. Well, sure, he's a natural genius, don't you know? Hence the name of the book. And she gives him a few years off his age too. But Villawa never claimed that he was always a civil engineer, so we suspect that's not him answering that question. In 1861, of course, in April, Fort Sumter is fired upon. Villawa decides to donate his boat to his new country to help them win. He is a staunch abolitionist, and this is one way he can make a contribution. On the 17th of May, it is captured in Philadelphia by the suspicious Harbor police. It pops up. The two guys who are actually running it to go get pig-led for ballast, neither one speaks English and they're in an infernal machine, which is our cutes-onny word for meaning weapon from hell at the time. That's what they considered subs. It was also perilously near the Navy Yard, so they were arrested. Of course, the next day the civilians go to the Navy and say, you do know this guy's been demonstrating this boat for like two years now. Maybe you ought to take a look. The Navy does decide to take a look, mostly because the day after, the rebels raised the Merrimack and begin making the Virginia. Now there's an arms race on. There were three solutions to the monster Merrimack, and monster is the term they used at the time in the same way we would, and it's almost always used before the word Merrimack if you read the books. Plan A, of course, is iron clads. We know the monitor was successful, but the Navy wasn't certain that design was going to work. They had Galena and new iron sides on the ways as well. Neither one of those would be ready in time. Monitor barely was. Plan B, oddly enough, was a ram fleet of iron-hulled ships. This was Secretary of the Armies or Secretary of War Stanton's idea, and it was crazy. The Navy wanted nothing to do with it. Lincoln, sadly for Secretary Wells, said, it floats, right? Stanton goes, of course. Good, the Navy will take care of this. Oh, the Navy fought this tooth and nail because this was old school. But it would have worked. If you picture Virginia with the low freeboard, the distance from water to top deck, we think nowadays that might actually have been submerged a little. Ram ships would have worked fine. It might have taken out one or two port and starboard with the broadside, but others would have gotten through. And the idea was to have four or five of these station around Virginia, which took a half hour to come about. It wasn't a bad plan, really. Plan C, the submarine. Now, the Navy wants the boat, but they want it to be finished and proven. The same backers possibly foolishly say, okay, we'll fund the boat and we'll send you receipts and you pay us as we need materials and then pay us when it's all done and we get a bounty when Merrimack is sunk, right? The Navy agrees. July of 1861, a commander Hoff is sent across the river to take a look at the boat along with a couple of other officers, and it does meet their criteria. It can dive repeatedly. It can stay down for a while. It can question the part about without the least fatigue or exertion to the men because it's all manual labor. It can do it as often as they want to. It can actually deploy a diver underwater and get him back and support him always outside with a tube. There's no mention of pumps, but this is almost a necessity for the diver. It can generate an artificial atmosphere by some chemical process that's not specified. Their major concern is speed. This thing can only go about one and a half miles per hour. That will barely stem the current in a stream, but they want a bigger, better boat that will go faster. First mission for what they're now calling the iron fish, or at least one of the backers is calling it, is to destroy the Virginia at Gosport as she's aborning. Now she has an official target. This was probably an impossible mission. Even being dropped off as close as was safely possible under Rebels guns out here, it's a 10-mile journey underwater with bonfires and flares and picket boats watching for you the whole time. Once you attack Gosport Navy Yard and maybe sink Virginia, now they're really watching for you in mad. You've got 20 miles to row back again. I don't know if it would have been physically possible to do, but desperate times. On November 7th, construction actually begins at Nephi and Levy in Philadelphia on the brand new boat. The fate of the salvage boat we know is just left to settle in the mud. Somewhere across the river in Rancocos Creek near Delanco, New Jersey is a pre-Civil War submarine that we have written proof that we just let it settle in the water. This is an archeologist's dream. We've joked for years about hosing it off and looking for the keys under the seat. That would answer so many questions because there's technology on the board there that we have no idea how they made things work. We haven't found it yet. We have a couple sites that we've found magnetometer hits that look like promising sites. Same size, same mass, as the sub. Unfortunately, there are a lot of hitches. For the entire winter, there are delays with the boat. The Navy wanted this done in 40 days and it ends up being months overdue. The workmen, understandably, have never made a sub before. Villawa is very picky. He hates being questioned whenever he says I want this, that, and the other thing. His investors have learned from working with Villawa. They don't just give him a blank check. Every time he wants something, as much as a pipe or a wrench or a pump, it's like what are you going to use it for? Tell me how you're going to use it. Why do you need this model? Why not a cheaper model? It just bugs the devil out of him. One thing to keep in mind, we'll discuss this at the end of the show. The thing that sticks in his craw the most is he wants a certain quantity of silver. It is known at this time that if you take very thin little plates of silver and use them as one end of an electrical connection it will make a spark. All scientists know how to do this. Children in school know how to do this. It takes, I think, a period of money worth of silver plates to do this. Villawa wants about $2,000 worth of silver, specifically in 12 inch sheets and eighth of an inch thick, and he won't say why. Some researchers at work at least said, oh, he's trying to steal from the Navy. There were safeguards in place. He never got his silver. He had to justify it.  So keep that thought in mind. I have an idea of what he might have been doing. The sub is months overdue and what's more, by February its target is now floating off Gosport Navy. This is an ideal situation for the submarine. The water, there's only 30 feet deep. It's just perfect to attack this boat. But the sub is far, far from ready. On the 7th of March, obviously it goes on what the crew thinks. The shakedown crews, they're actually going into combat and it strikes the next day and Monitor Happley gets here in time. By April, Villawa has had enough of their ongoing issues about his commission as a Navy officer. This isn't his ego at work here. If he's captured as a civilian he can be hung as a pirate. So yes, I'm going to go into combat by the way with a crew that speaks all French. Our first combat mission would have been all in French. He wants a commission. There's a delay in that. There's confusion over pay for his crew and everything, not so much how much how they get paid and he doesn't understand what's going on. He's infuriated that the contractor continues to question him and he's insisting upon pointless protocols. He won't talk to anyone lower than basically the Secretary of the Navy. And it's like, I have a water run, dude. I'm paraphrasing here. We don't know if he's confused, if he's persecuted, if he's aging. It's hard to say. His men are very loyal to him. They do say at one point though in a letter that survived that we really would like someone younger and more dynamic. They treat him sort of like their favorite uncle or a grandfather. They don't want to hurt his feelings. This is his baby, the culmination of all his experiments over the years.  Finally, at the beginning of May, the submarine is launched in the river. This is a painting by Jim Chrisley of one of the backers, Hearst, who insisted after all this pain of riding into the water. So it goes into the river on May 1st. And again, I already explained why a propeller. It is rowed by a crew of 18 men down, nine on each side, like a bunch of vikings. Unlike the fish boat, these oars are a little unique. They're all mechanical now and solid iron, but they will deploy on the power stroke and fold on the return stroke. Unfortunately, of course, there's resistance on the return stroke too, so the speed isn't really not more than three or four knots. But that's why it's called a propeller because those propel it along. This is a quick schematic of it with Sailor in there for scale. It is claustrophobic as all get out. There are 18 men rowing. There's one captain and one possibly two divers. We now have an airlock or an air chamber up front here with a bulkhead that can be sealed. So now we only have to pressurize that one chamber in the bow instead of the entire boat. And we know that's what they did because one of the men who years later went after an invalid pension for ruptured eardrums says, my eardrums ruptured when the valves around the door broke one day and the pressure just, you know, popped my eardrums. The boat was leaky. It was, guys were laying claim for rheumatism and sore joints and everything, especially because you had to manually load all the lead ballast. It had to be handed down the hatch and passed back like this from man to man because each seat you would take the top off and put the lead ballast in there. This is how you trim the boat, Portra Starboard. If two of us get on and I ate more over the weekend than the guy next to me some of the ballast under my seat has to go to him. So it has to get passed down and then pass side to side. Those seats are sitting on the liquid ballast tanks. There are four of those that we know of and we also know how they were filled. It's intricate and it took probably about two weeks with an Excel spreadsheet to figure out how you could do this safely. There is a procedure for loading and lead and ballast and crew that will make this a successful boat. It's just incredibly intricate and only a veteran crew could do it reasonably safely. On the 11th, its target is scuttled. Now we have a submarine with no target involved anymore. It has no mission. So the Navy is, people say, well the Navy didn't really accept the boat. It's the middle of the Civil War. The Navy is never going to call this USS. There's no christening ceremony. At this point it still has a civilian crew, but the Navy wants the submarine. And here's an opportunity. Now it is still a civilian owned boat. At the end of the seven days battles, the Navy is tasked with a mission it does not want by President Lincoln. Deploying forces from Fortress Monroe and being towed all the way up near City Point right after the end of Malvern Hill which is the last of the seven days battles. Its target is the obstruction of the Drewries Bluff. This is the cork in the bottle of the James River. The Navy's tried taking this on before but been stopped by the obstructions and the guns from the fort on the top of the hill, Drewries Bluff, just can't be hit by the Navy. Our guns are made to fire at enemy ships, not up over the hills. We can't get past. The alternative is a bridge at Swiflund Creek. This is critical simply because the railroad that supplies Richmond goes through Petersburg and crosses both Athmetics Creek and Swiflund Creek over two bridges. The Navy is told to drop that in the water. It's important enough that Commander John Rogers doesn't like it but he's given the entire James River squadron. He has given 11 of the 12 ships plus the submarine. He says I don't think this is going to work but when Abe Lincoln says do it he's going to do it. He has a new commander because DeVillawa has skipped town. This is Sam Eakins. Sam as a first submarine commander in the Navy is probably the most qualified person on the planet. Considering we have no training for submarine commanders at this point in time. In the Mexican war he was stationed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he learned to deal with explosives. He's an ordinance officer. His family business is electroplating. Now he can use sparks with gunpowder which is a dangerous combination. What's more he's an expert salvage diver. He worked for John Gowan over in Sevastopol bringing up the Russian Black Sea fleet of about 80 ships in the mid 1850s. This is perfect. He can make things go boom with sparks underwater. It's exactly what we want in a submarine commander. However he has mere weeks to recruit and train a crew of totally green sailors. He just goes to one of the receiving ships in Philadelphia and takes volunteers. Remember I said how you can only make this boat function with a trained crew. Eakins doesn't know even how to train them.  It is a complete failure. The sub is deemed too valuable. Roger takes one look at it and says to Eakins when he gets down and he goes how how tall is the sub from the keel to the domed hatch. Six feet. Did the guys in Washington not realize that the little blue line under the bridge is four feet deep and when they capture it with a net they'll figure it out and come against my fleet which is all wood. So it doesn't even get in a combat zone. It just gets hauled back. The squadron from the James River they get hung up on Appomatto's Creek for two solid days. If Lee had sent just one battery of artillery down it would have changed the course of the war. He's too focused on McClellan at Malvern Hill. His only concern is he keeps on asking are they landing troops? Are they landing troops? They're not but the ships are bottled up grounded for two solid days till they finally get out of there. The boat at this time does acquire its nickname the name we know it by alligator. A reporter supposedly sees this green thing coming through the water doing this. He says God it looks like an alligator. Officially it was always the submarine propeller if you look in the Navy history books but everyone else calls it alligator. Finally in August they get around to testing the boat after it's been deployed once. Tom Selfridge is a logical choice but he's death on underwater warfare. For one thing he's he was stationed aboard Cumberland when she was sunk by the Merrimack and he has even less training in submarines than he does and he manages to almost drown the crew one day because again they don't know how the boat works and there's a great little terrifying drawing of with stick figures of the boat on its fanny like this off the Washington Navy Yard with like 18 little figures down there like this. According to the story they climbed their way back up the rowing benches to rebalance the boat pumped her out and surfaced and no one died. I'm sorry Selfridge and the entire crew requested surface duty and were sent west. His report though is incredibly damning. The Navy doesn't want the submarine. It doesn't work the way it's supposed to. It doesn't go fast. They can't figure out how to make the thing work because villa law is nowhere to be found. The contractors are desperate for some kind of payback and they agree to make whatever changes the Navy sees fit to force on them and they'll pay for it just because they're under budget right now they spend about 8,000 to 14,000 the Navy is allocated and they just want to get paid back. The way to refit 62 to 63 is under Sam Eakins he's back on the job at this point in time and speed is the big issue plus with 18 men in there you're using up a lot of oxygen you don't need to they pull out the oars and put in a more standard propeller this has an axle that runs on the center of the sub now nine guys can sit kitty corner from each other turn the same axle and turn the prop. This halves the amount of CO2 that's being spewed out and halves the amount of oxygen being breathed so your dive time now goes from about two hours to four plus which is incredible for a Civil War submarine one little side note here at this point in time there is the distinct possibility that Abe Lincoln scooped Teddy Roosevelt in being the first U.S. President to set foot aboard a U.S. sub in Lincoln's spare time which there wasn't much if you look at his diaries and his itinerary most times he had free time he would go down and visit his buddy Dolgren Admiral Dolgren at the Washington Navy Yard they would look at new stuff they would sit and smoke cigars and drink brandy they would fish and Lincoln just loved to see new technology had to try everything there is no way he could do more than stick his head down the hatch of alligator the chance of him touching are very very good finally in April of 63 alligator has a mission that's Taylor made and I should point out when we look at subs like Hunley and then subs like alligator there are two different kinds of sub there and I use modern technology Confederate submarines are made as attack submarines they want to break the blockade by sinking ships we don't care that much about Confederate ships we have a massive surface fleet what we want to do is tear out the obstructions that are keeping out our surface fleet so most union boats northern boats come from a long tradition of salvage well this is perfect because what we want to do is get down there tear out the bases of obstructions and the torpedoes which are suspended from the bottom there are no number of these blocking the channel in and Admiral DuPont who is aware of alligator he was in charge of the Navy Yard when she first appeared knows that she's available and he wants to use her unfortunately the one thing that bill wall had always told the Navy and everyone else was this is meant for rivers and harbors she's not meant for the open ocean don't tow her on the open sea the Navy tows on the open sea and they get hit with the storm that it's out of season but the description is like a hurricane couple guys are washed overboard he can smash so hard against the railing in the mass he's missing molars and have nerves damaged in his face the rest of his life he busts up a couple organs inside he's pretty much debilitated after this cruise it goes down somewhere in the graveyard of the Atlantic we're not really sure where because they were just happy on board the tow ship to still be on the right side of the water they limped back two days later after preparing the ship to report the loss we don't know if it floated around it went to the bottom what shape it is in at all Jim Chrisley who started all this research has done all these drawings of retired Submariner and was funded the first symposium we had in 2002 in all serious since he gets up there to Admiral Bowen who was monitoring the project he said so we're not sure where the sub went after it was cut loose no no Jim or not well I want to volunteer to do some research what's that Jim could have drifted right yeah if the Navy will pay for it I'll check all the beaches in the Caribbean that's about as far as that went the backers never get paid the Navy never really accepts the boat now she's lost and they've never found any evidence that they need their money back whatsoever they can't find Villawa he disappears and will eventually die in 1875 a poppered old man our interest in submarines goes away after this the only there's one here that's close to finish a fairly modern looking sub which is to Ligo was being built in Cambridge, Massachusetts it was about two thirds of the way done it's actually the first sub to use a periscope periscopes were known at the time that they're used by riverine surface ships so commanders and officers can check for snipers they can't stop otherwise you stay down below where it's safe that we pull the plug on that the only one that survives intact is the intelligent whale which oddly enough is in secret New Jersey at a New Jersey National Guard Army base but to give you an idea of what a dope slap all this research has been not just for me but for all the researchers here's an attack submarine everything inside is intact but there's no owner's manual I've read an excellent dissertation by a fellow who wrote it years ago and it's yay thick all different systems and we still know exactly how it works at one point one of the animals on the project called me up and said well we want to figure out how it works what are we going to do? well our idea is we're going to take it to test facilities we're going to put on rebreathers and we're going to flood it and take it down and then when we stay there we figure out how to get it up I said cool then I told my wife all the guys told their wives so it's still in secret New Jersey but it made sense to me we can't figure out how to get the dang thing to work and it's intact there are two enduring mysteries around alligator the first one can only be proven by finding the boat and that's the way it finally looked Eacons makes reference to a second mode of attack and it's interesting because his second mode of attack is pretty much drawn by an unknown Navy officer on the blockade off mobile in 1865 this has been done before again we started researching this 15 years ago we thought all this is all unique stuff then we start realizing other countries have been doing the same sort of thing when you look at this drawing it's not a man exiting the sub for one if you exit the top hatch you flood the sub you notice it's a dashed line the artist is somehow delineating the suit but showing you it's part of the sub also every kid since 1828 when these came out knows how to draw a deep sea diver it always has a separate helmet it's not part of the suit this is cloth this is metal, brass or something like that what's with the funny position for the arms to me he's showing the arms are flexible he's got a chamber up here for a torpedo with insulated wire which is perfect which is exactly what I think Eacons is trying to hear this is my reconstruction of how alligator might have looked in the end, again we can't tell the reason why I theorize this is Eacons was asked by an admiral who was not in the need to know loop how were you going to make the attack and Eacons basically says I'm not leaving the boat I don't want somebody else doing it because he's sitting there doing this hoping the diver actually sinks the enemy ship but it's his career on the line then he says to the animal you don't need to know so the animal tossed him out of the navy for two weeks until his civilian friends say I'm not, you know I don't have to keep my mouth shut like Eacons does let me explain what he wants to do and this is pretty much what he describes as the second mode of attack this makes it a much more lethal weapon because instead of parking it on the bottom and deploying a diver who has to get a mine if it floats up to the target now he can come up under that chain in Charleston he's in direct communication with his crew like he's inside a tank he can say I see it 15 feet ahead of us we have to come up a little drop a couple pounds of ballast go a little faster back up a little bit hook a grappling hook on and start backing off to pay out the electric wire it's a much more lethal weapon if this is the way the thing looks this is a lot more intriguing I put this in the book simply because I could not figure out why Villawaugh was willing to be tossed off his own project remember I mentioned the silver plates for making a spark and how much Villawaugh wanted $2,000 worth of fixed silver plates and a dozen or sixteen of things I went to a couple of science professors at a local college up in Massachusetts and sort of said what else can you do with this stuff and they thought about it for a while did a little research and they said you know, at a primitive level this could be used to do what NASA does on the space station which is generate air there's no way Villawaugh has enough silver or energy to feed the whole crew the oxygen it will need but at a very primitive level is this what he was trying to do remember we mentioned the chemical liquor there I refer to it as bucket and bellows we thought Villawaugh was the first one to do this basically just take down a bucket of lime spritz water on it, it sucks up the CO2 turns out farmers if not von Drebbel knew how to do this back in the early 1800s almanac entries if you've dug a well you need to make deeper you don't want to just jump down there because it could be filled with CO2 so you lower a bucket with lime in it and when it hits the bottom you sprinkle water down that sucks up the CO2 you bring it up and lower a candle in a bucket if it gutters out there's more CO2 you do this until the candle stays lit this is what we think von Drebbel was doing and everyone else since then was taking this bucket and bellows approach they also had compressed air at this point in time and we know Villawaugh had some aboard his fish boat the bucket and bellows approach this gets to be so common place they don't delineate it it's like go forward 200 years from now and find a description from today about how to tie your shoes everyone does it, everyone knows no one's going to detail it no one talks about this sort of thing you just get oblique references here's an entire compressed air chamber pay air and submarine august the entire stern of the thing is full of air plus he has a bucket and bellows approach he also has the luxury of not having to go anywhere his job of clearing shareboard harbor of rocks allows him to anchor the boat a couple feet off the ground open the hatch because the air pressure keeps the water out the flowing current will actually cleanse the air when it's still got stale they would spritz lime on water and freshen the air up Villawaugh may have had or tempted an air generator this isn't as far fetched as it sounds although his approach is unique because a few years later ectinio is a submarine that was theorized and built and demonstrated successfully by a fellow named Narcisse Montreal from Barcelona Spain he had a chemical reaction engine that provided enough heat to actually boil water to make steam and the byproduct the waste product of the chemical reaction was oxygen at one point he goes to do a duration dive and the crowd gathers to watch him you know and they don't know if he's going to come back up or be hauled up how long is he going to be down there and he's down there for hours the day gets hot, the crowd gets thinner finally towards evening there's one reporter there he threw him hell or high water and he sees bubbles and he sees ectinio's hatch and the hatch breaks the surface and they open it up and there's Narcisse and he looks down and he goes are you okay? Narcisse goes see why'd you come up? we were bored as long as he has chemicals which unfortunately were terribly expensive his engine works and he's making oxygen so these guys are already thinking if I can't replenish it, if I can't bring enough with me can I make more while I'm down there so it seems terribly advanced but it's not by their standards judging by the number of people who have already started asking questions before this began we're going to open it up for Q&A now so thank you


So people, I am back with another Outriders video and this one a little bizarre. So I am here streaming, minding my own business, crying over how they nerf my trickster. When I see people jump into my streams stating there is a quest that if you complete this quest it gives you 11 legendos. Well today guys we get to the bottom of this. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you enjoyed the video leave a like who helps out and if you like what you see I want to see more outriders on a daily basis be sure to subscribe. So there is a quest in the game right now which rewards you 11 legendos. Whether this is a bug or intended I have no idea but it definitely wasn't the case before today's maintenance. And well everyone who hasn't already done this quest can go ahead and do this and get that loot. So the legendos it gives you 11 in total 10 of which were from the demo, weirdly enough. And it also gives you another helmet too. Now from everyone I have spoken through who has done this we all had the exact same legendos. They are the Amber Vault, Migraine, Goomarrow, Aerimaster, Golem's Limber, Rock's Gaze, Voodoo matchmaker from the bird and Torment and Agony. The helmet is called the Mask of the Cannonball. Now these at the moment are dropping from a quest called the Outriders of Legacy. It's a quest that takes around 35-45 minutes and sees you just traveling back and forward and killing things mainly. But it's real easy to do. Some players who haven't progressed far enough may have to unlock more of the story to do this. Now I will state, from everybody who has tried repeating this quest did not get 11 legendos. So it only seems to work with people who are completing it for the first time, like I was. You might be able to do another character without something I haven't tested yet. So for those that do not know the quest is called like I said the Outriders Legacy quest. And you pick this up from within Trench Town with a hanging Outrider. Simply complete this and you are golden. You might like I did already have this picked up and just not completed it yet. So check your quest tab too. But yeah for first time as only here this is dropping 11 legendos. So do this while you can. I have no idea if it's intended a bug like I said, but it's strange how they are the demo legendos. Weird. For me though they ain't much use besides materials as I've already had these already and I just load in my highest level gear. So they are just three mats for me. But for those who haven't had these yet, didn't get me the demo or didn't even play the demo, enjoy this. And on that note the end of the video has arrived. If you enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out. If you're new around here want to see more Outriders on a daily basis be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload a can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button. But guys thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I'll see you on that next one.


So hey, there's a new classic Sonic game. Sonic Superstars is dropping in just a few months, and I have mixed feelings about what I'm seeing. It's one of those cursed monkey poor be careful what you wish for situations. On paper this looks like everything I've ever wanted, but my last few wishes ended up being ironic punishments, so I'm very apprehensive. On the one hand, yay, more 2D Sonic. I love 2D Sonic. When these things are good, they are great. Plus it's clear that Sega has heard my very specific brand of whiny fanboy complaining, because Classic Amy is available right from the start. You don't even have to download her separately, which is for some reason a thing you still have to do if you're buying Sonic Origins physically. It's just… apparently, and I didn't know this until I saw the Sonic Superstars trailer, but apparently, when my brain sees this kind of 2.5D Sonic design, it gets flashback to playing Sonic 4 on iPod Touch in 2010, and my brain does not like that feeling at all. When it comes to 2D Sonic, I'm ordinarily quite happy to enjoy whatever's being offered, and I'm pretty forgiving of the game's weaknesses. Sure, there are the core Mega Drive and Sega CD titles, but I'm also a tremendous fan of the Master System games. Sonic 1 SMS has the best soundtrack of any of these games, sorry the estate of Michael Jackson. Then there are the GBA and DS games developed by Dimps. Absolute crackers, the lot of them. Sonic Advance 2 might not be the most beloved of the series, but it's my personal favourite. I love charging through levels at speed, finding quicker and quicker ways to max out my speed state. Sonic Rush, oh there's another game with a killer soundtrack, did a stellar job of giving Sonic a 2.5D makeover. Does that count as 2.5D? Maybe 2.25D. Either way, it pioneered the boost mechanic that modern Sonic is using to this day, and it's rarely been beaten even in far higher budget games. You know what's great, but it's often overlooked? The Sonic Rivals games. Excellent, really immersive 2.5D gameplay. They do a fantastic job of making the world feel big and full and alive, while sticking to fairly straightforward 2D Sonic platforming mechanics. The point is, I love these games, no matter their relative popularity among more casual Sonic fans. And Sonic Superstars could be another of these games that I will defend or it could be the new Sonic 4. Sonic 4 was famously an attempt by Sega to capitalise on 2D Sonic Nostalgia while providing a modern update for the series. Developed initially for Mobile, I believe, don't quote me on that, it was released in episodic format, because that's just what you did in 2010, even if you were dealing with one of the most recognisable gaming brands on the planet. One that I think is uniquely unsuited to episodic releases. Gotta go fast for 20 minutes, then wait 6 months. My verdict when playing Sonic 4 Episode 1 was that it had taken the crown from Sonic 2006, the new worst Sonic game ever, in my opinion. My feelings did soften a little over the coming weeks as I realised that I was somehow still playing it, but when episode 2 rolled around, I didn't bother paying for it. When it was free, I tried it for maybe 10 minutes, but no, no, I do not want. I've spent years trying to figure out why I drew the line here. Why was Sonic 4 of all games the one that I just couldn't love? I think the answer is physics. Every other 2D Sonic game I've mentioned may have had their own offbeat take on how Sonic controls, but the broad strokes remain the same. I know I can curl up into a ball and increase speed on a downward slope. Sonic 4 doesn't do that, or at least it didn't do that on mobile in 2010. I don't know what the game ended up playing like on other platforms or following updates. Instead, the game is built around the homing dash as a primary mechanic, and while that's fine, I'm not hating on it as a concept, by 2010 I already had over 15 years of muscle memory that were screaming at me every time Sonic didn't reward them as expected. So it's not even that Sonic 4 is a bad game, I'm not getting into a debate over what constitutes a bad Sonic game anyway, it's more that it simply didn't feel right. Like wearing high heels for the first time when you're only used to running shoes, like driving a manual car if you've learned in an automatic. Yes, there's an element of objective complexity and pressure, but the issue more comes down to what I was expecting from Sonic 4 versus how the game actually feels to play. But of course, Sonic Superstars isn't meant to evoke Sonic 4, if that were the case they'd have called it Sonic 5. No, this is meant to build on the most memorable bits from Sonic Generations, a standalone classic Sonic adventure now that modern Sonic is off collecting whatever his version of Korok seeds are called, I forget. And I can see the appeal, I know a lot of people love Generations, and I hate to say this, but there's a physics issue in that game as well. As I say, it's not an issue of relative quality, it's the fact that classic Sonic in Generations was built on the same physics engine as modern Sonic, so he just doesn't feel right to me. Entirely a personal thing, I get that, but Sonic Generations is not an accurate continuation of the Mega Drive Sonics in the same way that say the Sonic Advance games are. His jump is just a bit floaty, his acceleration feels off. I couldn't even give you specific reasons why I don't get along with classic Sonic in Generations and Forces. It's just... it's like sleeping on a pillow in a hotel. There's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't feel the same as what I'm used to. It's not moulded specifically to fit me. Or moreover, I'm not moulded specifically to fit it. That's a high bar to set for any game, but you know what? Sonic Mania feels right in a way that a lot of recent classic Sonic games just don't. There are a lot of Sonic fan games indeed that nail the feel of true classic Sonic better than any actual developers at Sega. And as I look at Sonic Superstars, I see a game with a lot of odd new mechanics on display. Four player drop-in co-op is pretty brilliant, but how is that actually going to work in practice? Is it going to be younger sibling mode like traditional Sonic 2 player with the camera following player one and everyone else lagging behind and endlessly respawning, or are they changing up the very fundamental way that Sonic can co-control? And why is Sonic a jellyfish in one shot in his trailer? Why are there a million of him all on the screen at once? What is this? I've got nothing against weird new ideas. Obviously, if I just wanted to play old familiar Sonic games again, I'd play Origins, or Angel Island Revisited, let's be fair. I just... I want to make sure that the fundamentals are there more than the new throwaway gimmicks. It's not easy to tell how Sonic actually controls from watching gameplay footage, and even if those journalists that have played the game say it's pretty solid, I'm going to need to be hands-on before I can trust this game myself. I appreciate that my apprehension comes entirely from the art style of this game. It feels a bit flat for 2.5D, and it just reminds me of my least favourite Sonic experiences as a result. If it were traditional 16-bit style pixel art, I'd be proclaiming that this is the game that I've been waiting for since Mania. It's a bit harsh to hang all of my expectations for a game on the art style. A decade and a half ago, I'd have been all over this, and in fairness, apparently they've got Neotoro Shima back to design a new character, so that's cool. Presumably they didn't get Yuji Naka back because he's busy getting measured for an orange jumpsuit. At the same time, while you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I can't help it. The proof of the pudding will be in my first 5 minutes with the game, and nothing other than checking out the physics will be enough to sell me on this. Well, I suppose I could always get the PC version and cross my fingers for a good physics mod, but to be honest, if I'm playing mods I might as well just be playing a Sonic fan game anyway. So, I'm not sure. The trailer does promise new thrills, classic feels, but I've been burned before. I'm intrigued as to why Sega is apparently pricing this at $60, and why they haven't announced it until just months before its release. Normally they build hype for Sonic games even 2D offerings over a period of at least a year, so if it's had a really quick development cycle, why is it full price? I don't know. I do not know. Will this be good? It's too soon for any of us, even the folks at Sega, to be able to tell. But one thing is certain. This game is exactly the kind of game that I should be absolutely thrilled by, and yet, I'm not sure I'm ready to love again. Fool me once, Sega. I really want to be impressed, but based on prior experience, I think I won't be able to get too excited about this until I'm absolutely certain that it's not Sonic 4 Episode 3 by another name. That said, classic Amy!


Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with Dental Elm. So let's talk about chlorhexidine today. So whether you are a dental hygienist using it in your practice or not, you've probably heard about chlorhexidine. You have heard that you probably should be using it, that those periopatients where it's just taking a while for things to get better. Well, they need something else, right? Like brushing, doing everything at home, coming in for their cleaning every three months. They need something else. Like they need a mouth wash, a mouth rinse, such as chlorhexidine to kind of get in there properly to help to heal up those areas. Now, I've been in offices where I know we've had it. We talk about recommending it, but we don't always, we don't think about it, usually because insurance doesn't always cover it. If we do sub-tingible irrigation, you would be using chlorhexidine or something with that effect in the office. If you're putting that code through, at least here in Canada, it's about $56, $57 depending on what you're coding and how much you're putting through, right? But a lot of insurance companies don't cover it. But to really be part of a perioprogram, simply cleaning the teeth isn't enough. If you need something else, at least that's what we've always been taught, right?  But that's what I always thought. Even just a couple weeks ago, we've been seeing a lot of periopatients lately in the practice where I work at and we do have a full perioprogram. Meaning, you know, we would do quad scaling, depending on how much quad per charter they have. We talk to them at every single appointment about what they should be doing at home. But a lot of the times, when we get to talking about, okay, the gums are bleeding a lot. I want to do a sub-tingible irrigation for you. It's like a medicine that we clean underneath the gums using a syringe and that will help to heal things up. But just so you know, it might not be covered by insurance. It's $57, but you do need this. You know, that's just something that we would have said. But a lot of patients pretty much say, okay, well, I can't afford another $57. I know you're saying I need it, but let's just see what happens. You know, we can give them a prescription where they can get it at home. And it is suggested to use it every night and no eating or drinking for at least a half an hour afterwards. So it's best to do it at the end of the night and it can stain the teeth. Okay, so that's just kind of a quick recap on chlorhexene. But I was talking with a dental company the other day and, you know, I had a series of questions to ask. Like I was just asking things about, okay, well, I see a lot of children with cavities, you know, I need something different. What do you have for me? Because I talk to this company often because they are constantly looking into things. They're constantly doing their research to see what people need and what is the research showing that proves to work. And I just happened to mention chlorhexene. I said, you know, I need something for my periopatience. What do you suggest?  It is called Paradex. In fact, I can show you guys quickly if you want. I'm just going to share my screen here. I just want to show you guys what I'm thinking. So in case you have no idea what I'm talking about. So Paradex. So this is Paradex here. Okay, so you've probably seen this before. Sorry guys, I'm trying to zoom in. There we go. So this is Paradex. So it looks like a medicine, doesn't it? Like it looks like a medicine, but this is something that we are supposed to be using. You know, so we all thought underneath the gums as subgenital irrigation. But on top of that, it's a good idea or it was a good idea to have the patients use this at home too. Okay, so this is what I'm talking about. So I did ask this company. I said, well, I was just going to order some because in my personal practice, I am a mobile dental hygienist. So in my personal practice, I'm getting a lot of patients with perio. You know, I need to give them something else. I've been recommending saltwater because that's, you know, cheap, not expensive, but that will at least help to heal things up. Well, she showed me this article, which I'm going to actually show you guys too. And I will have to zoom in. So to make a long story short, I am showing you guys this article here. Where is it? Okay. Sharing my screen. Chlorhexidine has been found to be toxic.  You know, anything can be found to be toxic. It doesn't mean it actually is. It doesn't mean, you know, we're going to die from it. It doesn't mean we're doing like major harm to our patients, right? And keep in mind though, too, that this article is from 1999. So this is a while ago. This is nothing new. I need to find something more recent. And I know that she said that she wanted to look into that for me. Because I wanted something a little more recent. But even then, so what this is pretty much saying. So I'm going to zoom in a little bit more. And I'll save the link for you guys also on the bottom of the video in case you want to look into it. PubMed is excellent because even if you read this, they will show you similar articles over here that are probably more current. So have a look. They will show you more here. Like even here, you guys. So here's actually a recent article from 2018, which I will pop up later on, but it's pretty much saying the same thing. That, okay, we always thought that chlorhexidine helps to speed up the healing of the attachments. So I did zoom in quite a bit. I hope that that's enough there for you. But what they're finding is it doesn't actually do that. What they're finding is, so I did read the whole article. So I'm going to share it with you, but I did just highlight kind of the end part here. So it could speed up some healing. Okay. Some healing. Yes. Which is why we have been using it because why not. But it's such a little amount. And what it's actually doing is it's more toxic to our tissues. And it is preventing actually the most healing from happening. So yes, in some people it could be doing a little bit, but it's toxic to our tissues. Okay. You guys. So I can't say that enough, but even even thinking about the other things too is it causes stain. It has a horrible taste and patients do have to pay for it. Right. But again, it's toxic to the tissues and it contains alcohol. I'm pretty sure. Anyway, just double check. I'm pretty sure I've never actually looked at the label that closely, but I'm pretty sure it does contain alcohol. There are a lot of patients out there. You guys that shouldn't be having alcohol in their mouth rinses because if they have dry mouth to begin with, which could happen with anybody, this is going to make it worse. So why would you give them something like this? Right. But let me just click on this article from 2018 actually. I didn't notice this before and I can show you guys the link to this one too. So I'm just going to look at this really quickly. Let's see. So, yeah, see, so this is basically saying the same thing that let's see. Sorry guys. I'm just reading that quickly. Let's do two. Okay. So basically what this is saying is for those root areas. Okay. Where is typically where perio happens. So perio happens in between the teeth, you know, obviously. And if somebody is suffering from gum recession, you know, that can lead of course to bone loss. So that is when if the gums are bleeding a lot, things are leading to bone loss or they have bone loss, you would want, you would think to recommend something like chlorhexidine to help to kill those cells that are causing perio because you want to promote attachment. But even this article is saying the same thing that it does have an effect. It does halt things, but it's not such a big deal where it, it overrides the fact that chlorhexidine is toxic to the tissues and it has a bad taste. So I will copy this for you for you guys to look into it, but that's just basically what this is saying. So chlorhexidine works, but it's toxic to the tissue, but it doesn't work for everybody. Okay. So now you might be wondering, okay, so we've been using chlorhexidine forever. Is there something else out there that we should be using? Yes, there is. So let me just stop sharing my screen for a moment. I am going to look that up for you. So this is what I've been looking into. I've been doing a lot of research and I'm going to, I'm going to show you guys and tell you guys what I had just ordered for my patients. And the nice thing is what I had ordered. Sorry guys, just taking a second to find it. What I had ordered is good for other things too. So I talked about it a little bit actually in a video that I just did. Just talking about a dental company that I have been looking into that you all should look into too because they are amazing. Things have come such a long way. We can offer patients the most amazing things. So I did find that. I'm just letting it load here. Okay guys, so I'm going to share my screen and I'll show you guys what I've been looking at. So it is called an Opti Rinse. There, can you guys see my screen? Okay, let me just zoom in. It's an Opti Rinse. It comes in mint and like a fruit, like berry flavor. But I'm actually going to click this so that hopefully it kind of shows me more information. But what this is, is it contains xylitol as well. So if you guys have heard me talk about xylitol before, it just helps to change the pH in our mouth. And changing that pH in the mouth means that cavities and perio have less of a chance to survive and get larger. So it's the same thing for cavities and the same thing for perio. We want to stop that bacteria from happening and this is what it does. So it doesn't just cover it up or help to treat it, but it actually stops. It carries process and the perio process. So once though, once somebody does have cavities, once they do have perio, this is still a good rinse to use because it helps to prevent further cavities and further perio because cavities and perio can get worse quickly, right? So you need something to counteract that. So, and I'll show you guys what I was looking at. So I'm going to zoom in again. Sorry for all my zooming and zooming out. So read this right here. So it's alcohol-free, which is perfect. You do not want to give a patient a rinse with alcohol in it. Listerine or types of them do have alcohol in them. It just is too harmful to our tissues. So if you're going to recommend something like Listerine, make sure that they get the one with zero alcohol in it. It doesn't work as well or as quickly.  But it kills everything else too. So why don't you give them another alternative? But this is just my opinion, plus all of the research I have been doing. So have a look at pubmed.com and just sort of like type in things like xylitol, chlorhexene. You will find so much more on this. But look at this, you guys. So this rinse helps to reduce all of these different types. That cause caries, gingivitis, perio, and zirostomia. How many people do we know might get cavities, might get perio, and have zero, zero stomia? Almost everybody has one of those things. So this rinse helps everybody. And it has xylitol, as I said, to help to bring that pH down to neutral. And it's not toxic, you guys. It's not toxic. So chlorhexene, they're starting to find, yes, it works a little bit for some people, but it's also toxic. So why would you want to recommend that for somebody? You know, I mean, again, I guess I shouldn't talk like that because we all have our own opinions. But this is mine. I would rather try something else first, see if that works, and go from there. And this is also good for children and adults. Six years and older because there is a fluoride content in it. So they have the two different types. So they have the 0.05 or the 0.2, in my opinion, and makes more sense to get the one with more of that in there, and they should be using it every day, okay? On the bottle, it says, I think once a week, maybe for the 0.2 or a couple times a week, but they say that because you can get this over the counter. So they have to be careful, right? The 0.05, they say that you can use it every day. So in my opinion, what I would do is if I have a child that really could benefit from xylitol and the fluoride, I would tell the parents to get the 0.05 if they're concerned that they might swallow it. They might say something like, well, they can spit. Sometimes they don't. So they get the one 0.05 if they really need that extra help. But there's a lot of things to look into. So don't take my word for it. I will leave the link for you guys on the bottom. Oh, and I just, I'm happy to see this. So look at how they compare the rinse compared to chlorhexene, you guys. It has the same antimicrobial effect and is not toxic. So which one are you going to recommend to your patients? Have them spend the money on chlorhexene or use this rinse. I plan to use it like in my practice too. So I can actually help to clean underneath the gumline with this also. Why not? You could technically dip your scaler in there and then use it that way. So that's what I plan to do. And it can't hurt, right? It can't hurt. So you see how it's so important to keep on doing your research. Because there's so much out there. There's so many things. But also look for articles that aren't from 1999. So the one that I showed you at first is from 1999. But look into them further to see articles that are more current. Okay. So I hope this helps to open your eyes a little bit. I plan to be using this for my portfolio because I was audited. So I will be submitting my portfolio January 2020. But this is definitely something that I have spent a lot of time looking into and talking to different people, talking to different dental professionals. So I'm definitely going to use this. So but let me know you guys if you have any questions because I probably forgot to mention something. But thank you guys for listening and good luck with everything. And I'll see you guys in the next one.
