Hello, how are you guys today? We're gonna do another full day of eating. This time not gonna show as much prep just to give you guys an idea of what I'm doing. So today's kind of messed up already because I had to wake up and film and do computer stuff for like three hours. I wanted to have my morning testicle testosterone routine before but it was really cold so I wanted to just let it sit at room temperature so it doesn't mess up my stomach at all. And also didn't have dinner last night, which is a little unusual so I'm hungry but I'm so overdue on this testosterone routine, haven't done it for like two weeks now. I really need the energy. I need the testosterone boost because I kind of wanted to have breakfast but you don't want to eat this and then have a big meal because you want this to be the only thing in your stomach just absorbing the testosterone at a maximum efficiency. So and we did this routine a few weeks ago in my three morning routines video so this might seem a little repetitive, but we just took our lamb testicle from Frankie Syriah's meat. We chopped it up so we don't have to chew it. We're just gonna swallow it down. We have the goat testicles and the veal testicles available as well. For some reason you guys keep asking me for the beef, which we will have later this month, but me personally I prefer the lamb and the veal over the beef. So we're just going to swallow this down while holding my nose so I don't taste it. So we swallowed it down. Now we're going to take some mastic cup. So we got our testosterone boost without tasting it. So I'm going to take a few supplements with the testicle and I'll explain each one. So first vitamin C. We did a video a few months back, you know, is vitamin C causing your gut issues relating to H pylori and I think I really need to up the vitamin C and take it with the mastic every morning consistently. With that we're going to take magnesium, the mineral you need in the most abundance, and I'm also going to take B complex because, you know, with my unpair liver function and digestion, I think I'm falling behind a little bit on the B vitamins. So that's three capsules. We're going to do that for breakfast and then the focus for the other few meals is probably going to be different B vitamins. Since it's Thursday and I don't have anything that immediately needs to be done down at the warehouse, I'm just going to hang out for a little bit and have some breakfast because if I go down and work for a few hours, I'm going to be so hungry and just want to come home. Little something different for breakfast today. We have cream of buckwheat, which I'm probably not going to like, but we're going to try it out as a grain source. I actually wanted cream of rice, but there's actually no organic cream of rice I could find in the store or online. So go figure. This is what it looks like. I mean, buckwheat isn't the best or healthiest grain, you know, not a super high fiber content, but we'll see how we like it. And this is our iberico pork tenderloin that has been marinating in apple cider vinegar, a little bit of maple syrup, and some salt. I talked about this years and years ago. I just always forget that, you know, marinating pork and vinegar makes it digest much, much easier. I don't really have to do the same thing for beef, but for some reason it makes a pretty significant difference with pork. So just had this sitting in the fridge overnight, two or three days is a good two. So we're going to have some very, very easily digestible protein for breakfast that also tastes a little better. So I'm just going to prepare everything and we'll sit down and eat when it's ready. So it's pretty interesting how they make buckwheat. First they get an Amish girl named Wheat and then they find a deer of... I'm not making that joke.  Like if you have something to do, do not make cream of buckwheat. It's like molten lava for about 25 minutes. I tasted a little bit when it came out of the pot and it was just like a really plain grain, but the texture is nice. So I added maybe two tablespoons of maple syrup, a little bit of coconut oil, and there was originally salt in the water. Now it's too cold.  This is really good. If you don't want as much sugar in your breakfast, if you want to control the amount of sugar, I actually like this. I like it a lot better than the homemade oats mainly because of the texture. It's a little reminiscent of glue though, slightly reminiscent of glue. So we have our pork medallions, that apple cider vinegar brine. I could probably eat like two pounds of this pork. Really basic guys. We got some super high quality Iberico pork for protein, cream of buckwheat for our grain and energy and starch feed our gut bacteria. So we organize the supplements a little bit, stuff I don't take every day on the left and stuff I might take every day on the right. So for breakfast, we are having three of the macronutrient digestive enzymes because my liver is still not working and producing the enzymes it should. We have some vitamin C. We have some magnesium. Just some brief explanations on those too. Our modern foods are kind of lacking anti-scorbutic properties because a lot of environmental stressors, that's what the vitamin C helps for. Especially if you eat a lot of cooked food, a lot of grains and you know your liver isn't optimally recycling vitamin C. Magnesium is almost always depleted in soil and after doing all that research on the B vitamins, I've been taking the B complex every morning. Usually one or two and I've also been using the other types of B vitamins. I've actually noticed a pretty significant change in energy. I'm feeling a lot better using all the B vitamins. So with that digestive enzymes, vitamin C magnesium B complex. We're not going to do any minerals today. Maybe I'll do selenium or something tomorrow. But we're also going to have some masticum with it. The only one I haven't tried yet is the B12. I think I'll try like a a higher dose B12 tomorrow morning and see if I know it's a difference. If you guys have kids, put a little bit of maple syrup on the pork tenderloin for breakfast. Love it. It'd be amazing. Now on the package, the buckwheat doesn't have that much fiber. So not something I would eat later in the day. I'm going to go to the gym. So you know, I could burn up some of the starch. Yeah, it's weird. Like I searched cream of rice online. None of it's organic. But honestly, with the arsenic concern and rise and all that stuff, probably better off with the buckwheat. I also really got to take the vitamin K2. I mean, focusing on other stuff might be vitamins, but you know what? Maybe this is what I need. I'm just going to do a little bit. So do like a few drops of K2. I haven't had in a while to be honest. Vitamin K2 is really hard to get in the diet. It's only from fermented foods. Therefore, the gut bacteria, while fermenting certain things actually produce K2. So I'm kind of full, guys. Eight, maybe one and a half servings of buckwheat. It's not actually that calorically dense, surprisingly. And we had all the pork. Whenever I post these day of eating, now there's a few shills in the comments like trash talking grains. Ooh, grain burned. You know, we debunked the glyphosate stuff a few months ago versus gluten. And in regards to natural procurement of a grain, it's similar to any food that grows, whether it's a fruit, you know, animals eating grass. You have to put some physical effort into getting it. But humans are meant to be mildly active all day. You know, you can't do sprints for 10 hours straight. And if you just walk at a slow pace for 10 hours straight, you know, you could have probably done a little more. So there's an in between, you know, a human in the field farming, doing agriculture in natural way. That's very, very realistic and accessible. And especially grains, the way they grow and the caloric availability. It's not something that's considered unnatural in any capacity. But there are different types of grains and starches depending on where you're located in the world. See you guys for lunch. So I was actually so hungry when I got home for lunch that I've just been kind of nibbling on some homemade sourdough bread. And I had a few sips of water key for while I heat my soup up. Yeah, honestly, couldn't find any decent bread, you know, even the bakery in the city I used to go to kind of went down a little bit in quality. So I made my own sourdough yesterday, had a few slices of it and have been having some now while the stew heats up with some very carbonated lemon water key for very, very, very tasty. If you guys want me to sell a sourdough starter on Frankie's Terrage Foods, let me know with the starter, you know, you're just a little bit of work and about a day away from bread. But if you don't have the starter, it can take like a week or two to have a viable one. So I'll probably put that on the food's website and see if there's any interest in it. The difference this time with the stew is that I added some more barley and some coconut cream. So a lot more carbs as well as a little bit of creaminess to it, which makes it a lot more enjoyable. We used actually some of the fresh beef share chopped up in this instead of the tenderloin stew meat this time around. So this week, as I said, we had the fresh beef, some of it chopped up in here, organic shiitake mushrooms, organic white onion, organic russet potatoes. I put about half a bottle of organic white riesling wine in here, maybe two jars of the collagen broth from Frankie's syringe meat, a bit of salt and a bit of coconut cream. And of course, a few cups of barley. So that's the stew in the Instant Pot. This one tastes a lot better, maybe because of the extra barley and the the coconut cream also use a different type of barley. And this bread I made guys a little dense. I think the oven has to be hotter, but very, very, very delicious, very delicious. Way better than the bread alone stuff, way better than the baker I went to in the city. Now the stew in itself is really nutritionally complete.  Since I have the liver damage, I try to have a little more carbohydrates to just soak up the bile and feed the gut bacteria as well as the apples for just a little bit of dessert and enjoyment. But if I was just going to have this stew on its own, which I have several times, that's perfectly fine too. This is really, really rich and creamy. I didn't add too much coconut cream, but you know, the starch from the barley mixed with that coconut cream is really, really nice texture. So there's not a lot of liquid to dip the bread into. I doubled the amount of barley, but I think I got to reduce it a little bit. If we had someone to make us potato chips, I'd probably be having a roast beef sandwich right now with some chips, but I don't. I've always wanted to have my own bakery, but got to tackle the meat business first. It's just there's nowhere to get like high quality organic bread really. You have to make it yourself. So maybe if you guys keep buying meat from me in a few years, we'll have a Frankie's free range bakery, but we're about halfway through the meal now. So let's take some supplements, macronutrient digestive enzymes, very, very important. Honestly, I didn't think I needed these and I stopped using them for like a few months, but since I started taking them about two weeks ago now, I've been feeling so much better. We're going to have five of these, you know, with the amylase to break down the carbs, pepsin, trypsin, betaine HDL for the protein, and chymotrypsin for the protein, and then we have the lipase for the fat. So with the five macronutrient digestive enzymes, I took some B3 yesterday. I took some B2 the day before. I think we're going to try a different one today. So we got B5, B6, and B7. I think I'll try the B7 today, and then we'll try the other two another day this week. Okay, so we'll have these and then I'll have maybe almost a teaspoon of masticum. One time I tried to make these mastic gum cookies, horrible, horrible, even with like a small amount of masticum in them, they just tasted completely like masticum. So for the most part, supplement-wise, the base per meal is the digestive enzymes on the masticum. For lunch, I'll usually take B vitamin, but for breakfast is when I take most of the extra stuff. So if I'm going to take minerals like selenium or manganese or boron molybdenum, any sort of minerals or higher amounts of vitamins like a B complex, I only take those in the morning. Then for lunch and dinner, just to kind of ensure I sleep as optimally as possible, you know, I don't want my liver stressing processing so many B vitamins. So the magnesium, the vitamin C, all that stuff, always in the morning. I don't know when I'm going to make the sourdough recipe video, but we should have a sourdough starter for sale this week. So the recipe I used was, I think it was on King Arthur flour, Pandicampania, but I used all white flour for it. Yeah, I'm hoping things move a little quicker because I've really been missing dairy in my diet, as well as the eggs. And we don't have the hypoallergenic eggs on the website anymore, and we've never had hypoallergenic dairy. So, you know, whenever I got my own farm and I can do my special feed for the animals, I'll be having bread and butter for breakfast every morning. A lot of creative ideas, guys, I haven't been able to do them yet. Yeah, so like, I don't even have to dip this bread into the soup. It's just really tasty on its own. Now, when I drink water kefir, I don't need or crave as much protein because there's plenty of B vitamins in this and the probiotic bacteria in the water kefir will turn the carbs in this meal into B vitamins, which is one of the main things we need from protein. I think that's everything to show you guys for lunch. I'm just going to kind of relax, finish eating everything nice and slow, drink most of the water kefir and have my organic honeycrisp apple. So if you guys have any questions, just let me know down the comments, but we will see you for dinner. Soul boys and girls, it's pretty late time for dinner. I'm having the same dinner that I've been having for the past few months now. I've really, really been enjoying this. We have organic udon noodles, basically the only type of pasta I can eat. That's okay for my liver. For the protein source, we have grass-fed roast beef, courtesy of Frankie's free-range meat. I'm going to do a tablespoon of the collagen broth in there, and then I have a homemade white bean and artichoke puree, just organic butter beans, some organic canned artichoke, and then I put a little bit of coconut cream in here and a little bit of salt. Sometimes garlic and onion, but this one's pretty plain. We got our glass bottled mineral water boiling away, ready to go. So we're just going to put a bit of salt in here, some oil so it doesn't stick. So the noodles only take four minutes, which gives me just enough time to get everything else ready as well as peel my apple. I guess about two tablespoons of the collagen broth, three tablespoons of our puree. This also has some collagen broth in it, that's what gives it kind of the nice structure. So we're going to take about half of the roast beef, nice and rare in the middle.  So I just kind of sprinkle this roast beef on the noodles after I put them in the bowl, and this we're going to save for tomorrow. I'm so tired guys, I just did everything off camera, but I just add a little bit of coconut oil and salt to the noodles in addition to that collagen broth and bean puree, and we have the roast beef nicely on top, and I'll just peel my apple while this cools off for a minute because it's really hot. I got to get rid of these gray sweats guys, I do not look presentable to say the least. There's plain, you know, it's plain. I got to add some onions and garlic to that bean puree, you know, just a little work to caramelize them. Come on guys, who else is eating a giant bowl of noodles every night? Still has a full head of hair and it shills a lot of steel. Let's be honest, let's be honest. All right guys, about halfway through the meal we are going to take our supplements, so I'm going to do one vitamin b1, we're going to do five of the macronutrient digestive enzymes, mainly because it's a lot of noodles, and our one teaspoon of masticum. I'm probably not going to show you guys, but maybe like in an hour from now, right before I go to bed, I'll just take a little more masticum on its own. I mean, I would probably feel a lot better and look a lot better if I started tanning again. I haven't been a fan of, you know, the tanning beds because of the magnetic field, sometimes you get a headache, but the benefits probably still outweigh the negatives, and since it's winter in New York, I can't really go outside in tan. Plus, like, if I'm not going to get an Asian baddie by now, like it's not going to happen, you know.  I guess I'm half of put too short for that and not ugly enough either, but anyway. Maybe after I tan, I'll just have to go for the Latina girls that look like Asians. You know what I'm talking about, right? Like the Latina people that have kind of like Asian eyes, like a white washed Latina baddie, you know? Honestly, bro, if I was half of a taller or if I wasn't working so much and I could clone myself, I'd probably like be in Chinatown right now trying to get some fresh off the boat baddie, you know? 100%. That's the way to go. 100%. Some Chinese farm girl to salivate over. Now that I've inhaled two pounds of noodles, I definitely feel better. Who wouldn't? Honestly, it's just a huge amount of starch and some fiber. So the idea here is that you have a small amount of protein, the roast beef for the beef bottom is the nutrients, the animal-based proteins that we need for all the metabolic processes. The tiny amount of fat, the coconut cream in the bean puree and the coconut oil that I added, that's just enough to stimulate the liver to kind of send out some bile. And then all of the noodles, the starch made from white flour and the soluble fiber in the bean puree that's going to kind of soak up and absorb those toxins from the liver. And all that starch is also going to kind of like feed the gut bacteria and keep everything happy and also give me too many calories so I can be a thick boy. And I might have said this just last week, but you know, when you gain weight, when you put on fat, your body stores toxins in the fat. So it's actually a lot less stress on the liver if you can kind of maintain a higher weight. Oh yeah, no, I did say it last week, then I made the joke about giving myself a fatty liver. I'm like a geese being force-fed to make foie gras. All right guys, that's it. Let me let me wrap this up before any more nonsense comes out of my mouth today. So I do have the sourdough starter. I might list it on the food's website. Also, I might do mastic powder. So right now we sell the mastic gum, you have to grind it up yourself. I think we might try selling the powder and jars and see if you guys like that a little more, a little more convenient. You guys can go to frank-to-final.com to check out all of my businesses, including Franky Strange Meat where you will see all of these delicious animal products and Franky Strange Foods for all the non-perishable stuff. We got organ supplements. This is ridiculous, guys. Like it's ridiculous, but you know, I went to, God knows how many doctors and how many people once I figured it out myself and this helps me along the way. Wifi shielding, always wearing the protective clothing. And of course, Franky's naturals. I use the cosmetic products on a several weekly basis when I decide to shower.

How's it going lads and ladies? It is Petrifying Pumpkins here and welcome to another edition of PS VOR news. Now today we've had quite a bit of information come out relating to PS5, relating to PS VOR, how they interact with each other, we got some other stuff to talk about, we got some alvo to talk about as well, so let's just jump right into it. Ok, so topic number one will be the stays of play, which is coming this Thursday, the 6th of August, as you can see PlayStation's official Twitter account here, tweezed this out, stays of play returns Thursday at 1pm, Pacific, if you're Eastern, that it will be 4pm and for me over here in Ireland or UK time, that will be 9pm. So that's going to be this Thursday, so if you're looking forward to seeing that, get them dates in your head. Now of course, these videos will be on YouTube afterwards, so you don't have to watch it live, but just expect a lot of news to come out around that time. PlayStation have given us an idea of what to expect, now this is super exciting for us, but not really super exciting for everyone else, I think the vast majority of people really want to see PS5 stuff and well let's just read out what they're going to say first before we get into all that. So what to expect, so point number one, a focus on upcoming PS4, 4 not 5 and PSVR games, now this is the big one for us here, PSVR games, that's what we're all about here on this channel, so that's super exciting, what's that going to be, wait and see, we're going to see a few quick check-ins on third-party and indie games from June's PS5 showcase, so that June showcase was when they revealed the PS5 for the first time, we saw games like Resident Evil A's, stuff like that, now Resident Evil A would fit the bill of a quick check-in on third-party support, on third-party I should say games from the June PS5's showcase, it would also fit in with this PSVR games announcement if they were to say oh by the way Resident Evil has VR support, so that would fit into both of these categories very nicely, and then the final point here is the reason why they're giving us this whole you know what to expect in the first place is no big PS5 announcements, predictably the responses have been you know memes, no big PS5 announcements, lol this is disappointing, a little gifts, the elves, you know disappointed man over here, people wanted Silent Hill which you know very possible we'll see that, so we kind of see this a lot anytime a stage of play focuses on virtual reality rather than flash, it seems to be general consensus of you know the mainstream not happy with that, and that is because obviously PlayStation VR has only sold like five million headsets maybe they're approaching six million headsets at this stage and you know that's a drop in the ocean really when you consider all the number of gamers out there, so it is still pretty niche that's why this is going to be backlash, but obviously I don't care about that so I'm sure most of you subscribed to this channel do not give a shit about that, in fact that's what you want to see, so this is really exciting I'm really happy to hear this, I'm going to be working on the exact time it happens but I'll probably do a live stream of it afterwards, we might do the touching tips podcast episode with Decepticon about this afterwards, we'll talk about whatever they show, we don't know what we're going to see of course, but yeah just the fact of focus on PS4 and PS4, so we don't really know how long this data play is, traditionally they haven't been very long other than when they go into the deep dives of specific games, they did one for our last of us, they did another one for Ghost of Tsushima, those were fairly long but in general they're not that long like they wouldn't go on an hour or anything like that, so don't expect something on that length, not something that you would compare to the PS5 event in June, that was like an hour long, I would imagine 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes if we're lucky, it depends on how much stuff they have to show here because they have been pretty quiet about PS4 all year, so maybe they've been saving all these PS4 announcements for this, the question then is you know will they discuss PS4 in relation to the PS5, so I mean they could go deep into the relationship between the PS4 headset we have now and the PS5 that's going to be coming in well probably November and that would probably still be considered not a big PS5 announcement, it would be big for us, it wouldn't be big in general, they're really trying to set people's expectations you know lower them, but maybe we'll see like a VR UI or something like that, some crazy shit and this is going to tie in nicely with point number two, but yeah look we could sit here, we could speculate what we're going to see on Thursday all day, fingers crossed Resident Evil 8 that's the one I really want but we are not going to know until the day comes, so anyway that's the PlayStation State of Play one last time this Thursday, 1 p.m. pacific, 4 p.m. eastern time, 9 p.m. of GMT, so let's move on to topic number two, so topic number two then is all about PlayStation 5 and how the current peripherals we have in our PS4 will work with the PS5, this went up on the PS blog today earlier on a few hours ago and we're just going to read some of this, some of this is really important for virtual reality at least in terms of backwards compatibility, not necessarily for the future of VR on PS5 or PSVR 2 if such a thing happens which you know hopefully it will say let's just read into what they're posting here, so which existing PS4 peripherals slash accessories will work on PS5, so number one specialty peripherals such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks and flight sticks will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games, so if you got your Holtas or your steering wheels which you know often when people go for VR they also they go all out for the ultimate immersion they get these other peripherals too so I'm sure they'll be happy to hear that it's going to be supported, the platinum and gold wireless headsets as well as third-party headsets that connect via usb port or audio jack will work on ps5 although they do put this caveat here that the headset companion app is not compatible with ps5 so if anyone doesn't know what that headset companion app is it really applies to the platinum and the gold wireless headsets it's a little app where you can kind of program the headsets to work like pick specific profiles for different games you can kind of program it that way so if you have any of these headsets they will work although the headset companion app is not compatible with ps5 I wonder will they replace that with something else we'll have to wait and see next up the jewshock 4 wireless controller and playstation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported ps4 games so that is important to note they're saying it's going to work with ps4 games on the ps5 it is not going to work with the ps5 games we'll get into that a little bit but your jewshock 4 is going to still be useful keep that around maybe you want to play resident evil 7 in virtual reality on your ps5 you might still need to keep that jewshock 4 handy and the final part here which is very relevant to us is that both the playstation move controllers and the ps viewer aim controller will work with supported ps viewer games on ps5 so keep in mind this word here supported we don't know how many of our playstation viewer games that we currently have will actually run on ps5 there's no guarantee firewall will run fingers crossed it will be good why would you support the aim controller and not have firewall running on that thing fingers crossed you know that doesn't happen we don't have to worry about that but just keep that in the back of your head not all your library is guaranteed to run on the ps5 and there's still questions of digital so most of my playstation virtual reality games i've bought them digitally so that i don't have to take the headset and you know physically change things around to the inline digital it's super handy how is that going to work fingers crossed and say fingers crossed a loss because that's all you can do when you're talking about playstation 5 right now the fingers crossed that have something set up for that so that we can get them just downloaded under the ps5 no issues so a little bit more detail about the jewshock 4 so will jewshock 4 work with ps5 games no we believe the ps5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we're bringing to the platform including the features of dual sense wireless controller this doesn't bother me too much i'm used to well i know the ps1 controllers work in the ps2 but i don't care too much that my old controllers are not going to be controlling you know ps5 specific games especially we got these like adaptive triggers because like you know a developer could program their game where you know the gameplay relies on the fact that you have this tension in the triggers that you can't have on jewshock 4 and if they don't or if they do allow jewshock 4 then all of a sudden your maybe developers have to compromise what they want to do maybe they don't take full advantage of the dual sense and a lot of people seem to be there's a bit of backlash against this but yeah personally for me i don't mind that too much maybe you do honestly the battery life is so bad in the jewshock 4 that i just can't wait to not ever have to use that thing you know again fingers crossed the jewshock fingers crossed again fingers crossed the jewshock 5 will have improved battery life as well so then we get the most interesting part of this blog updates so is the playstation camera for ps4 compatible with ps5 yes so playstation camera will work with ps5 for pain supported again supported ps viewer games will require a playstation camera adapter that will be provided at no additional cost for ps viewer users more details on how to get the adapter will be announced at a laser days yeah this is interesting because on the one hand it's great that they're not going to force us to buy this new camera that they're going to be launching the ps5 with but on the other hand it's going to be interesting to see how we actually get our hands on these adapters we're going to have to go online somewhere give them our address and they'll send them to us or how's that going to work i'm not too sure is there going to be a big waiting list then like we have to wait a long time is it going to be a lot of people want them at once uh because i know i said there's not many ps viewer headsets out there but you know five million is still it's not nothing and then of course there's the question of well ps5 is going to be launching with this new camera which it has better resolution i think the one we have now is like 800p to 800p cameras and the new one's going to be the full 1080p so in theory you would imagine the new camera if it supports ps viewer which it should but that's not confirmed but if it does you would imagine that would improve the tracking because it's going to be sharper image so it might be worth thinking about looking into the new camera even though you know this option is there if you want to like improve your setup now this is not proven at all we have to do tests we'll have to see what happens when the thing actually launches but in theory you would imagine a new camera sharper image is going to mean better tracking with what we already have so you might not want to even apply for this adapter if you're wanting to like upgrade your performance so yeah and that kind of ends the kind of sony playstation news for today it was like it was interesting that this information both the state of play announcement and this just popped up on a random you know monday and we still have questions loads of questions big questions release days price stuff like that it seems like sony's not going to be answering them this week i don't expect to see it on the state of play which is another thing a lot of people not too happy about but it's interesting microsoft still haven't announced the price for xbox playstation still haven't announced the price of playstation or sony haven't announced the price of playstation how long can they go we're in august now these things are probably coming in november they're going to want people pre-ordering them soon but who's going to pre-order them without knowing the price but it's getting beyond a joke now at this stage it has to be this month so maybe shortly after this event or maybe even at the very end of the state of play they might surprise us you know they might be tricking us here not to expect and then boom price is whatever it's really hard to tell how this is going to go so let's move on to the final topic so the last thing i want to talk about is an alvo updates and this one is a pretty good update actually if you're keeping tabs on alvo you might have seen this already on the discord that is the best place to find updates about this game but basically alvo went through the certification processes they had this virtual reality consultation that happened a few weeks ago sony came back and they found six issues with the game so they've since fixed those issues and they've sent them back again and they have passed so i'm just going to read out the update this one is from venny vidy vici over on the discord so he says we have passed sony the or consultation our next step is to pass sony t or c so t or c means technical requirement checklist and that is scheduled for august 8th which is four days from now so once the t or c is passed we can release the game keep in mind we may still have a little bit of work to do after t or c to make sure we are satisfied we have also requested and are wasting approval from sony for a bazaar of alvo in north america and europe so they've got through the viewer consultation next up is the technical requirement checklist i was kind of curious what exactly is in a technical requirement checklist so i decided to do a bit of googling and that brought me to this uh i was just googling and i saw this name pop up here marik linus so that jumped out to me immediately this is from 2014 as you can see down here uh this marik linak guy because i follow him on twitter he is a higher up or he was a higher up at sony london studios the studio behind blood and truths so i thought kind of coincidental does you know his name popped up he met this slide this presentation goes through all the steps of what it takes to make a game from the beginning just you know brainstorming ideas to the end shipping out the gold master and he details t or c here so he doesn't go into specific detail of what a every t or c does and this is in 2014 of course before veor so this is probably just like has nothing to do with veor i'm sure virtual reality has its own you know crazy requirements checklists that are completely different but this kind of gives you an idea so he gives some examples here so one of them is no loading in the main thread whatever that means the game must exit cleanly i think we can understand that so you go exit the app it just exit back to the main menu closes the application so these are like really basic fundamental stuff so no long periods of inactivity trophies must be supported disc eject supported so these are the kinds of things that sony you're going to be looking for from alvo in order to pass this you know t or c basically it sounds like it's not going to be too difficult for them to achieve these checks and these specific checks and now again i said you know veor is going to have their own checks probably frame race needs to be a solid 60 uh you know has to have vignettes has to have this have to have that probably that's just me guessing but yeah just a little bit more in size and what alvo's going through right now wouldn't say or what they will be going through and as soon as they pass that then they're ready to release basically according to the discord post so that should mean that alvo is not too far away unless sony find problems they might we can't rule that out fingers crossed fingers crossed so anyway that is is for this episode of ps for your news thank you very much for watching but before i end the video let me give a special thank you to my patreon supporters whose names are on the

Adibhaan, a nice game with the black pieces in round one. Tell us about it. Yeah, I just used a variation which I used against Anishkiri, but that game did not go well for me. But still I think the push I got was interesting, so I wanted to repeat it. And it was like a mix of Benoni, Kings Indian and all sorts of nonsense. And so I just wanted a complex game and I think he was not ready for this. Eventually I got some tactical trick and after that I think it was pretty much over. Yeah, you managed to create a lot of imbalance quite early on. Yeah, that's true. And you were playing against an Indian in the first round? Yeah, like Patricia was telling me that I come all the way to Gibraltar to play with an Indian. If you had known I would have just played in India. And you're also back here after 2015, you played in 2014 and 2015. How is it to be back in Gibraltar? Yeah, Gibraltar always is a special memory for me because I crossed 2600 in 2014 and 2015 also I tied for the third spot and got a lot of money. So it always has a nice memory. And so now I'm back after many years and hopefully I'll have another happy memory. Well, we hope so for you as well. Now you play in a lot of elite closed events and also a couple of open events. Personally, which one do you prefer? Yeah, this year I think after Gibraltar I'm not sure which open I'll actually play. So this is like the top most open. So I wanted to play this. After this I want to play a lot of closed events because it has like a more serious. And the main thing is like you have to score heavily in the start to meet stronger opponents. But in closed events you anyway meet them. So that is a major difference. So this year maybe I'll be trying to play some closed events. And do you think the approach when you're playing a closed and an open, how different is the approach? Yeah, the thing is in open it's totally unpredictable. You won't know who you'll play but in closed you know pretty much who you'll play at least one month of preparation you have. So you can prepare well and for me I think it's very important because I can prepare all sorts of interesting ideas. And you had that today on the board as well. Your knights were jumping all over the board? Yeah, I just wanted to play a little bit like tall. I'm not sure if I exactly did it but it was at least complex. Now Adiban you're here with your father. Does he enjoy chess? Does he play any chess himself? Yeah, at some point it's funny. I would not be seeing chess but both my parents like my mom is reading nowadays. And also my dad he would be playing online. So it's just surrounding us all over the place. Alright, then you've got to tell us this. Now in the chess world your nickname is the Beast. Yes. Why? Yeah, this I was trying I wanted to I like this nickname Hunstable Force but I just gave it myself. Then I realized it doesn't work that way. It's better if people give you a nickname and somehow I don't know. I just I think it was in Tata Steel Masters in 2017. I just said Beast mode something like this and slowly that became Beast and I know this name is going to stick because Vishy himself calls me that. So I think this name is here to stay. Alright, well we look forward to seeing your Beast mode on the board all the very best. Thank you.


Not a problem. In the future, the prompt is gonna be more valuable than the image themselves. People who are experts in creating good prompts are called prompt engineers. So let's talk about what separates a new AI artist from a professional. A lot of people wonder why anyone would pay to generate AI art that they could do themselves. But the reason for that is really simple. Unless you're really good at knowing how to type the prompts, you could easily spend over a hundred bucks and never get what you want. But a competent prompt engineer could probably spend one dollar and get exactly what he wants. So here's a real example. I have a friend who owns his own small business and he needed some concept ideas for some red Jordan's shoes that he was trying to sell. So I told him, hey, if you give me a 20, I bet I could generate four images you would like. And so he took the bet and I went to work. Now in this situation, most beginners would probably type something like shoes or red shoes or cool red Jordan's shoes. And if you do that, you'll probably get what most of us get, which is some weird mushy image that nobody likes. Now the intermediate AI artists would know that you need to highlight the subject and the setting in order to get what you really want. So the subject is the Jordan's shoes and you want them to be red, but the setting is advertisement. So you might want to try including the word advertisement or even something like ad. And that's a lot better. But the professional AI artists will know that in addition to the subject and the setting, you also need to add the mood, the emotion and the purpose of the work. So instead of something like red Jordan's 11 advertisement, the pro would probably type in something like epic advertisement of red Jordan's 11 movie poster. And here is where the quality starts to jump up and we start to get the type of images that we want, but we can do better. A seasoned prompt engineer knows that in addition to the subject, the setting, the mood, the emotion and the purpose, you will also need to describe the quality, the lens, the source and the final destination. So instead of an epic advertisement of a red Jordan's 11 movie poster, what we should type is epic 300 millimeter lens, professional, promotional, commercial advertisement of red Jordan's 11 movie poster trending on the Nike website. And that is how I got the images that my friend needed. So those are the different levels of AI artists from noob to engineer. We'll go over this in more detail later, but for now, I hope that was helpful. I always do my best to teach you guys what I know. And this is something I do as a profession. So if you're a small business and you ever need quick concept art super fast, check me out on Fiverr.  But anyway, as always, hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


لوگ سامکن کی قابل'tن ت fürs بہت پر حرم محر Risk سوذاق پ維 ظان پرا ت see تو ایک اڑت بہت کبار فعالت Today یہ اگرتریجان ہے اِسے جنہوں سے وزیادہ جوگم کی فعالت ساتھ نืہ میں ایسا طڈولامjut فریقصت ہان contest انھائم سوائائے جنس آپ executive بنتی ستین اسا جو پائنٹیZe روی کھونٹ Vou اور خصیصہ ہوا ہے کہ ہے کہ بھی اس آہی ساتھ آئی ہے see one reason is the route that modern science has taken modern science has taken that route largely in reaction to very dogmatic religions under which and under the umbrella of which the modern science evolved particularly in Europe that's where the whole Renaissance system happened آپ سینس میں کامسوندی ہے کہ یہ صرف کال نیستان ہے اگر کال نیستان تعلیم کریں تو تک کہ سیمنٹی دور کر لیئے دوسر کے لیئے سیمنٹی تحانی دور کیوں یہ بنا ہے اس بھی مدنہ کیا نہیں ہے فرمالت کے لئے اس کی ہوتا ہے because the whole attitude of science has become like this because it is in reaction to dogmatic religions who tried to enforce their own whatever rubbish on the science in its early stages سائنس like a jevinail who is reacting to something that was imposed upon him as a child. Still science is in that stage, slowly it's growing out of it but largely in that stage. Anything first dismiss it. No, a scientist should be interested in everything, isn't it? A true scientist should be interested in everything. If somebody says, I walked in the temple, tears are coming, please experiment what is happening here. No, he first dismisses it as rubbish. No, he must experiment in whatever way possible, isn't it? No, he just dismisses it because he comes from that background where dogmatic religions enforced and tried to stop the development of science in so many different ways. So largely that religious belief which comes from certain areas of the world which is so strong and believes in silly things as if they are the most profound things, okay? So these silly things have been imposed upon people for centuries and when science reacted to that, it looked like a great revolution. It's called Renaissance, it's a revolution. But that kind of investigation wanting to look at everything is not new to us here. The whole spiritual process has always been about looking at everything with fresh eyes. We don't even trust the two eyes. We want to open an extra eye and look at it, okay? Because we know very easily your senses can be contaminated with memory. Your eyes are deeply contaminated with your own memory because depending upon the type of memory you have, accordingly what you see looks beautiful, ugly, okay, not okay, good, bad, everything because it is loaded with memory. So a thoughtless eye is what we want to develop. The whole system of yoga is the pinnacle of yoga is shown as a third eye because third eye is a thoughtless eye. Today that's why I said you must ask the question without your intellect, use your intelligence. But without the filter of your intellect, ask a question, then you'll come up with crazy questions.  Crazy means socially crazy but they're very life-oriented stuff. And that's how you fall in love, that's how moments of genius and creativity happens to a human being when you do not use the filter of your intellect. I'm saying why don't you live like that every moment of your life? Why is the spark of life and genius only here and there? It must be every moment you must be sparking if you want to fire and go somewhere, right? You know within a, at least in the older engines, there's a sparking plug, okay? It has to spark all the time. If it doesn't spark, often on it sparks, this allows a machine. That allows a human being too, who doesn't spark all the time, who sparks once in a way.

Well, well, well. The end of the year is upon us. And a new year comes forth. Hello. Welcome to my end of year review. At the end of every year, we do a little just like, bye-bye. Thanks for coming for the year. So this is what this is right now. I mean, this is kind of set about every year. 2022 was a mixed bag. There was, you know, some not so great stuff, but also some really, really, really great stuff. And so yeah, I just, I kind of want to talk about my thoughts for this year and also my thoughts going forward into the new year. Let's get into it. Also, I'm in my living room because I felt like being in a different place to record this and the Christmas trees here. Do I want it to be slightly warmer? I'm changing the light. Oh yeah, that's better. So 2022, a lot happened this year, which I kind of don't remember a lot of it. This year went by really, really, really quick.  What did I do for New Year's? I don't remember. So obviously, to kick off the start of this video, this year was one of the most like insane years of my life going from a career standpoint because of tour. I went on tour this year. And it was such an amazing, incredible experience. And there's still more to come. I'm really, really, really excited. Not only is Europe going to be happening soon. And for those of you who don't know, which hopefully you do, we are postponing the European shows until probably May-ish more info to come. So not only are the European shows happening, but also there's some other stuff about tour. Not necessarily more shows. I don't want to give too much away, but more things that have to do with tour coming soon. Soon is a relative term, maybe five or six months from now. Tour was honestly one of the most incredible, if not the most incredible experience of my life. It was so insane being able to do the tour and do those shows and having so many people come out to the shows and see them and have so many people give such wonderful praise about the show. It is one of, if not the most proud, no, it is the most proud I've ever been of anything that I've ever created. And I think the thing that really did it for me with tour is that it was my own. Because I've done a lot of really, really cool stuff in the past. But a lot of the bigger stuff that I've done has been with other people. Which is not bad at all. But selfishly, it was nice to have a thing that I could be really proud of that was doing well that was mine. Obviously, there were other people involved. It wasn't just me. But the idea was mine. I wrote the show. And there were people that stepped in and helped make it better, of course. And I don't want to discredit those people at all. But I hope you understand what I'm saying. We're like, it was my baby. And it was my thing that I made. And it was something that I was really, really, really proud of. And it was something that was one of the hardest things that I've ever done. And it was something that was one of the most vulnerable things that I've ever made. And so it was something that was really hard to actually give to other people in a way. Because I didn't really want it to be done. And I wasn't, there was never really a time where I was like, ready necessarily. It was a, okay, I need to do this. And it's as ready as it ever will be. And I don't want to like prolong it. I'm not really wording this super well. But I think you guys know what I mean. But it was really amazing getting to share that and getting to getting to like keep it a secret was really cool. Like, other than the people who were directly helping me with it, in the pre production stage of it, of me writing it of me all the way up until the first tester show, nobody, again, outside of the team that was helping me work on it knew anything. Like, Mika didn't know anything. Mark didn't know anything. Sean didn't know like no one, my parents, my brother, my closest friends, like, no one knew anything about it. And that was something that was really nice for me. And it was something that, like, I'll be endlessly grateful for my family and for my friends and for Mika for letting me have that, because I didn't want anybody to ever feel like they weren't like special enough or anything like that, because that wasn't it. It was, I was making something and I was working so hard on something. And I didn't want people to see it until I was ready to show it to them. And it was really great that my family and my friends and everybody was so understanding about that. And like, obviously, like with you guys, it's a little bit different because you're like going to the shows and stuff. And you're not going to see anything before I'm ready to show it to you. But to have that understanding from from people who are close to me was like really, really meant the world, because it was the first thing in a really long time that I could work on and not feel the pressure of like, okay, I need to show everybody everything as soon as I think of it, because that's kind of what happens with YouTube. Sometimes you get that that feeling of like, okay, I need to I need to show my hand as soon as possible, because people want endless content all the time. Going on tour was really amazing. Like I the experience itself obviously was incredible seeing you guys was obviously incredible seeing your reaction was amazing. But also, I was so insanely fortunate. And I'm so grateful for the people that helped me work on the show, whether it was pre production, or during the actual tour, the tour crew was so amazing. And like it was so awesome. Getting to do the shows and be on the bus with everybody and just, I don't know, just become this little family. Like it was it was so much fun and everybody got really close and like, it was such an amazing thing. And it's bittersweet also, because I know that like, I'll never have that same experience again, obviously, because it's gone in the past, but being able to look back at all that stuff and think of just like, all the crazy little moments we had on and off the stage is really amazing. And I know that I'm repetitive all the time, but I'm like endlessly grateful for everybody who was on tour with me. And I love them all so much. It was so much fun.  I don't know when or what the next one will be, because I have to think of an idea, which will probably take a while. But going on tour made me realize how much I really love doing that kind of stuff, how much I did love the like writing process of it, which was the most challenging part of it. Because I am a performer, I like to perform and I'm good at it and I'm comfortable doing it. But writing is not something that I'm one used to or practiced at all. Two, it's not really something that I like enjoy necessarily. So it was a really big challenge for me to write the show. And it was really cool being able to, I think I've talked about this before, but going from the Portland main show, which was the final show of the first leg, I was flying back here to LA. And there were multiple, multiple iterations of the script. Everything was more or less like, as far as the overarching thing, like more or less the same, but the meat in the middle changed a lot. There was a lot of stuff that was tightened up. There was things that were taken out, stuff that was added in. But on that flight home, I reread the first draft of the script and it was so bad. It was so awful. And so being able to read that, that was really, really cool.  But like, look how far it's come and it's turned into something that I'm really, really proud of. And later this year, or this next year, I guess this year, because this will be posted on New Year's later this year, you'll get to see some of that. I've talked about it a little bit, right? There may or may not be a documentary that is in the works that will happen at some point. Am I allowed to say that? Don't tell anyone. But there's a lot of stuff that you guys will be able to see and things down the line that may or may not be released. I'm very excited about and excited to show you and excited for myself to be able to relive in a way. Anyway, I'm extremely excited or I'm extremely grateful for Tor. It was such an amazing experience. And it was something that was really nice for my self-esteem. This might come off weird, but there's a lot of times where I get that whole thing of people don't actually like me. They like my friends. And so doing Tor was a really cool thing to be like, wow, all these people are coming out to see me, to see my show, to see this thing that I worked on. They know that these other people aren't a part of it. And again, not bad mouthing my friends at all. I absolutely love my friends and I love doing things with my friends.  And so it was really amazing being able to do these shows and be like, wow, people really liked it. And they liked it because it was me. So that was really amazing. And it really, I don't know, it was a nice reminder. So for those of you who came out to the shows, thank you so much for being there. Thank you for coming along that ride with me. Thank you for giving it a chance because, again, nobody really knew, and that was kind of the point also, nobody really knew what the show was. And so you took a chance on that. So thank you for not only coming out and seeing it, but trusting me and letting me do something different. I had so much fun. And to the people who got tickets for Europe, I'm really, really sorry that I have to reschedule. We will be coming back, obviously, again, looking like sometime in May. But I'll give you full details when I can. But I'm really sorry that we have to reschedule. But I think it will be worth it. And if I don't see you there, I'm really sorry. And like, I'm sorry that it was inconvenient and that I had to that I had to reschedule. But if I do see you there, I'm really excited to give you guys shows again. It's going to be really, really fun. That was that was kind of the main thing of of of 2022, though, was doing those shows and doing the tour and building that it was just something really amazing and really fun. And I can't thank my like, we'll call it my immediate, I guess, team enough.   She started working in February of this year and has been like such an insane lifesaver for not only like the channel and helping things stay on track and helping make sure that I'm doing what I need to do on a day to day basis, but also just like in my own life has been so incredibly helpful and so amazing. And I'm very, very excited for this next year because I have a lot of like fun stuff that I want to do that that she's going to really help me out a lot with. And so I'm really, really excited for that. Yeah, I just I feel very, very grateful for the the people that I get to work with every day. And so to Justin and Nervly and Jocelyn and Parker and everybody who I work with on a day to day basis. Thank you guys so much for believing in me and putting up with me also.  Like I recorded all the videos, I edited all the videos, I posted all the videos, I made all the thumbnails, I did absolutely everything. Being in a place now where I can have people help me make stuff is really, really cool. And I feel really grateful that the people that I get to work with one are amazing people, but to like, trust me and believe in this thing and actually want to like help progress it and stuff like everyone that I get to work with on a on a day to day basis is not just doing their job of like editing or helping assist stuff or whatever. Like everyone's always like bringing ideas to the table and being passionate about it, which is really cool. And it's not something that I necessarily ask from from people. But it's really cool, like having Justin text me and be like, Hey, I have this this video idea, or like talking to Jocelyn the other night about her ideas for the channel. And like, it's just really cool. And I'm really, really thankful that I not only have people who are really, really good at their job, but also genuinely care about about the channel and want to make cool stuff along with me. So I'm very, very grateful for the people that I get to work with. And I'm very excited to do bigger and better stuff with them in 2023. So make sure you know, when you when you think about the channel, it's not just me anymore, like there's there's a team of people now that are that are making this thing work and are making it better and are bringing cooler ideas to the channel for you guys. And like, yes, I'm the face of the channel and blah, blah, blah, blah. But it's really amazing that it's not just me anymore. And it's, it's really cool getting to collaborate with people like that again. So make sure in the comments, sing endless praises for Justin and nervly and Jocelyn for helping the channel. Um, you know, also was it this year? Damn, it was this year. Weird. I got a new manager Parker this year. Was that in February also? I can't remember. It's weird how time works, but Parker has been absolutely amazing and like has helped me so much, like not only on the business end of stuff, because that's like kind of what a manager is there to help with. Like once the channel gets to a certain point, like there's different opportunities that I get to do in like different things. And so he's helped a ton on the business end, but also like in August, when I was posting every day for the 10 year anniversary, like Parker was basically the person that I almost had made me do it. It's not like he was like, you have to do this, but he, he gave the idea of like, you want to do some big stuff for August.  And so he's helped a ton, like not only on the business end of things, but also just like keeping the channel afloat and also like texting me all the time and making sure that I'm getting my stuff done because a lot of the times I get distracted. And when you are your own boss, it's a blessing and a curse because sometimes you're working all the time and other times you're not working at all because you're the boss.   And he wants to make sure that I'm proud of the things that I'm making. Anyway, anyway, 2022 is coming to an end and 2023 is starting up. And I guess this will be posted on New Year's Day, but I'm really, really excited about this next year. I guess I'm kind of repetitive every year, but there's a lot of things that I have planned and there's a lot of stuff that I want to do both in the professional sense and also just like in my personal life. I made a list of stuff the other day that I just I made two lists. One was a YouTube list of like things that I want to accomplish for the channel or videos that I want to do or whatever, whatever those kind of goals for YouTube. And then I made another list of personal stuff that didn't have to do with YouTube at all. And just like things that I want to accomplish and things that I want to do. And you may be thinking to yourself, well, Ethan, why don't you show us these lists? I don't have them. I burned them. That's not a joke. I had a fire and I burned the lists as a symbolic sort of, I don't know, I burned them. It was kind of cathartic being like these are the things that I want to do. These are the things that I want to do less of or things that I don't want or blah, blah, blah. And then I burned it all. But there's a lot of really cool stuff that I want to do in the new year and there's a bunch of stuff coming up that has been in the works for a really long time that I'm really excited about. And there's, it sounds so like empty promisey because there is a lot of stuff coming up, but I can't talk about it yet. Like some stuff I legitimately can't talk about yet. Like I am not allowed to talk about it. And other stuff I could technically talk about, but I don't want to share too much stuff before things are ready because I don't want people to get a false excitement. I don't know, but there's a lot of really cool stuff that's going to be happening this year. A lot of stuff for me on the channel, just like doing cooler, bigger, better videos and a lot of really cool stuff coming up with other people. Yeah, I'm excited about this year. I'm excited to get back into YouTube and just really trying to make 2023 a really big good year for me and a really healthy year too. Like I really want to make sure that I am doing all the things that I need to do for myself. I've been trying to get on a better schedule lately. I've been working out almost every day. And it's been really great for my brain. And I kind of want to take that mentality that I've had recently with working out and put it into YouTube. For a while, I was like working out on and off and like it really wasn't really doing anything. I was just kind of going to the gym when I felt like it. But I've realized recently that I'm like I'm very much a creature of habit. And so if I can make something a habit and makes my brain happy. So like going and working out every day, even if it's just like 10 minutes, like me just running for 10 minutes, it makes my brain a little bit happier because it's a thing that I'm doing every day. And so I kind of want to take that mentality and bring it to YouTube as well. Not necessarily posting every day, but I want to get a solid schedule for myself because I think it'll just help my brain a lot. Like even if I just record something every day, not necessarily post something every day, but force myself into this habit. It just the repetitiveness makes my brain happier. It makes my brain like function better because every day I have a thing where it's like okay, I do this and I do this and I do this and then I get to do this or whatever. So I want to kind of try that in this new year and just get into a better habit of doing things and get into a better schedule. Because as of recently, I've just realized like physically doing that has been really great and like not only has it been great for my body and I'm in really good shape right now, but also it's been good for my brain because yeah. I also have like a lot of personal goals this next year, just stuff for myself. Like some of which I won't share because I don't want to. But even just like I want to I want to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I just over the years have accumulated so much shit and I've realized recently where it's just like I have boxes of stuff in my garage that are just have been sitting there forever and it's like I haven't looked at any of this stuff. I haven't touched any of this stuff. There's a ton of equipment that I have because like technology advances all the time crazy I know. But you know when a new thing comes out a lot of the times I'll get it but then I still have the old version of that thing and then it just sits there.  I've had the idea for a while of doing kind of like a Crank Gameplay's garage sale with a bunch of like old equipment and stuff like that. I need to actually go through everything though and see if there's enough stuff to warrant actually doing like kind of an event like that. But I'm very excited to just like declutter and be a little bit more minimalistic because there's just so much stuff that I have and I don't need it. And I also just like don't want it. Like there's so much stuff in my gear closet and it's just sitting there and it's like okay other people could be using this and I'm not using this so why do I have it? I just shouldn't have it anymore. But anyway I'm looking forward to the new year. I'm looking forward to working on my channel and busting my ass on the channel and I'm looking forward to working on myself and making sure that I'm doing okay and doing good. I don't know. I'm just I'm feeling I'm feeling pretty good recently. I don't know. I've been I've been working my body going to the gym. I've been working my mind and my emotions going to therapy. Yeah I don't know. Anyways I hope that you had a fantastic year. Thank you guys for everything that you did for slash with me this year. And I'm excited for 2023 so let's do it.


Well, as we approach fall, it's harvest time for many different types of crops. In this week's Northwest Adventure, our Josh Peterson shows us how one man is busy bee harvesting honey. If you travel just a few miles southwest of Bemidji, you will see a sign that reads Honey Bee Road. And at the end of that road, you will find Lester Hiltz, who is a busy bee harvesting honey from his 14 bee hives, which are home to around 60-80,000 honey bees each. Lester got into the honey bee business as a way to help his garden grow. I went out there Sunday, and it was covered with bees, and I got two pickup loads of squash off there after the bee showed up. While there is some economic benefit to beekeeping, there's also an ecological importance to maintaining the environment. One of the many joys for Lester about beekeeping is being able to share his knowledge and educate beginners and help grow interest in this important hobby. I enjoy it, and anything that I do that makes it better for the bees, better for me, I pass on to all my beekeepers also. Beekeeping isn't considered a demanding hobby because it only requires attention a few times over its five-month season. However, when it's time to harvest, be ready for some hard work. What I recommend for most of my beekeepers is the first week of September, take your honey. When it's time to harvest, it requires a lot of time spinning and sifting the honey in a very hot room. This room Lester uses is around 98 degrees, and this is where Lester cuts the beeswax, spins the frames, extracts and sifts all the honey. Out of the 14 hives, Lester expects an estimated 2,000 pounds of honey this year. Despite all the hard work, Lester says that after 27 years in the bee business, he still gets some surprises. I know what to expect, but they will throw a curve at you every year. You will never live long enough to know everything about a bee. Or anyone who is curious about beekeeping, or is a novice at the hobby, it's best to always ask questions.   With this week's Northwoods Adventure, in Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
