Success is very simple. It truly, truly is. Success is very, very simple. And the reason success is so simple is this right here, is if you have a successful Monday, have a successful Tuesday, have a successful Wednesday, have a successful Thursday, have a successful Friday, you've had a successful week. You put enough successful days together, all of a sudden put enough successful weeks, successful months, you got a successful career. And that's always driven me is every day has to be successful.   What's up, 8% Virtual? Hey, we're continuing to talk about the topic. You can't fail if you don't quit. And I've got my father, Brian Askins, most of you know him, owner of Secure Insurance Group. I feel like you are the example of if you don't fail, you can't quit. I've had a few situations in my life to where obviously I had an opportunity to quit, but it's just not in me to quit.  You're also probably even more competitive than me. Maybe, probably so. Right? I mean, what can we not do together that we can't compete or that we can't bet each other some money on the golf course or something, you know?  And I kind of wished that maybe I wasn't quite as sore of a loser as I am, but when I lose, boy, it hurts. And I don't care what it is. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just, I've got to get better at that and I keep telling myself that every year and it just doesn't happen, but. It's gotten better over the years. It's gotten better. From what I've heard, the stories I've heard. Yeah, it's got, it actually has gotten better, but it still needs some improvement, so. I don't think the like desire to win has gotten better because I don't think you really want it to, but I think the attitude afterwards probably has, you know? Yeah, it's improved some and it's still improved a little more. I don't know why I've just always been an individual. I have to win and I just have to win and I'm not sure if that's a. Where do you think that comes from? Because I think that's something good to talk about because I think a lot of people in the insurance industry can, we didn't plan on talking about this at all, but I think people in the industry can relate to that, you know? I think it has a lot to do with the life that I, you know, my growing up. My dad died when I was five years of age and so we had a very tough life. My mom worked three jobs.  And she works three jobs and she's now seven years of age still working. And so it's a situation to where just seeing her work ethic back then, seeing all those things, it really instilled in me how important that truly, truly was. Yeah. And just seeing what she went through and all those years and just me growing up, those type things really, really motivated me to, I just wanted a great life. And then when I was nine years of age, I was diagnosed with a hip disease in my hip called Lake Perthese. To where the doctor told me I would never walk again without crutches or braces, some type of support. And this was many, many years ago, back, modern technology now has come a long way. But this was back in 1978. And so not only did I walk again, I played baseball throughout the years and would play baseball with braces on and one of my legs completely immobilized and to where just basically dragging it. But I just love the game. And so I've always been one to where I can situation to where I always look at my situation and other, but I always know there's someone in a worse situation than me. And I've just never been one to complain about anything. And I've never, you know, as you know, growing up, I never let y'all complain about anything whatsoever. Nope. And complaining just infuriates me. And I just, we don't complain. Whatever our situation is, we make the best of our situation and regardless of what that is. Totally true.  I personally embody that and have tried to live up to that as well just because I know how important it is. Well, there was a story as a kid with a ball cap that, I don't know if you wanna share that, but I think it's a good life lesson to share. Okay, yeah. Back when I was 12 years of age. Not something you're proud of. No, no, not at all, not at all. I'm actually glad it happened though because it probably taught me more in life than any individual situation has ever taught me.  So we're in this convenience store and we were always daring each other stupid stuff and one of the buddies had dared me to steal that Dallas Cowboy ball cap. It was a baseball ball cap. And so I said, well, if you distract the tendon, I said, I'll get it.  And so I had stuck it underneath my jacket and went out the door, the lady grabs him by the arm and so anyway, and she says, I need you to stay here. And so she calls the police. And so the police come down there and I had already taken it out of my jacket, stuffed it underneath the counter and all that by the time they got down there. But I was guilty, you know, it was guilty as it could be. And so anyway, so my mom was called. And so I got to meet a lady by the name of Eva Craiger, which was- It's crazy you remember her name. I still remember her name. And she was a juvenile delinquent officer. It's been almost 40 years. Yeah, it has been and almost 40 years and her name was Eva Craiger.    And so anyway, so she's telling me all this stuff. And well, what I didn't know is my mom had okayed her to just scare the daylights out of me. And so we get out. And so Eva says that long story short, she's, she fined me $360 for this $5 ball cap. And so I had to pay $360 for this ball cap. Well, my mom wouldn't pay it for me. My mom says, and it was the only year I ever missed baseball.  And she says, well, you're not playing baseball this year.  He owned a gas station to where they did, you know, change flats, pump gas, you know, you know, did all changes and things of that nature. And so my grandfather picked me up every day for 12 weeks in a row at my house at 6 30 AM and brought me home at 7 PM Monday through Saturday. And I made $30 a week and I did that for 12 straight weeks. I never got a single penny. And that $360 went to pay that $360 debt that I had owed. And so needless to say, that's the last time I've ever stolen anything. And it was a lesson learned. Wow. And to learn that at 12, you know, is obviously got your attention was good at the time, you know. It got my attention, but it also made me realize that's not who I am and that's not the person I want to be.  No one ever can say I'm not honest. No one could ever say that I don't have integrity. They may not have, you know, agree with everything that I say or do or whatever, but no one can ever, ever, ever question my integrity, my honesty and in my intent to always do right in every situation with every person involved. Right. I know we're going to share some more of your story at 8% in Vegas later this year. So I don't want to share all of it. I think those key stories are some things that you really haven't told that really embody who you are and I think they're important. What are some things that along the way that you've learned and some things that have helped to get you where you are? Maybe some tips that other agents can learn from. Maybe it's business related. Maybe it's insurance related. Maybe it's life related. I learned several years ago that I've always prided myself being the hardest working person there is and that's just the way I am today. And like at our office, and you know, not arrogance is just, it's just, it's got to be me and just because I have to be, but I'm the hardest working person in our office, you know, even today. No one works more hours than works harder, but I think it's a lot more than just working hard because I do, you know, I work hard and you know, if you ever come to my office, I'm not talking, I'm not playing. I am, you know, focused and driven to succeed. And so I think the biggest thing is, is that I heard this many, many, many years ago and I mean, year early in my career and it's something that's always stuck with me. I never forgotten. Success is very simple. It truly, truly is. Success is very, very simple. And the reason success is so simple as this right here is if you have a successful Monday, have a successful Tuesday, have a successful Wednesday, have a successful Thursday, have a successful Friday, you have, you've had a successful week. You put enough successful days together, all of a sudden put enough successful weeks and successful months, you got a successful career. And that's always driven me is every day has to be successful. And so every day I go into the office, I always have a, you know, if you don't have an intent, and this is just my, if you don't have an intent to have a successful day, the easiest thing to do, there's two easy things to do is blow money and waste time.  And so kind of talking about the time here is there's so many people that's their office for, you know, 10 hours, 12 hours a day, but are they truly successful? Are they truly doing what they need to do? And so you have to have a purpose and an intent to have, get something accomplished. If every day, and I'm serious when I say this, and I know you've heard a thousand people say this, but it's a true statement that I know, if every single day you on your ride home, if you truly ask yourself, what did I accomplish today? What did I get, what did, what did I do that today that made a difference?  And because, you know, I've always joked, you know, and I've hired, you know, hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of agents and hundreds of employees over my 30 years. And I always joked with everybody.  And they look at me like, what are you talking about? Half days. And I say, well, you choose any 12 hour period you want, you just choose which half you want to work. Any 12 hour, and I truly believe that. And because if you work 12 hours a day, and you are, and I'm not saying everybody has to work 12 hours a day, but I do, and you are focused, you're driven, and you have a purpose, and you know what you're going to get accomplished, you've got to go in there with an idea of exactly what has to be accomplished today. And so a situation to where there's no chance of failure. So, but the thing about it is, is that if you have enough successful days, you can turn that into a successful career. So. Yeah, you definitely can.  And your career is just going to be an up and down situation instead of having that, you know, just that curve that continues on the upward bound. So. I love that. I love that. And you know what? I think that, I mean, there's two things to really, this happened that you've said or they've done in my life in some way that literally back and support that up. The first one is your motto. You know, I've said it before. A lot of the agents listed and probably heard that, you know, never let anyone out hustle you.  That was the same. That was, you know, something that came to life time and time again. And the other thing was, I remember when I was about to go to work, I don't know if you ever heard me tell this. I don't know, maybe you have. It was 3, it was 3 30 PM on a Friday. I was supposed to go to work from 4 to 10 PM part time at Little Apple Market in Rogersville, Missouri. Supposed to work for six hours. And about 3 30, I'm throwing up. I don't feel well. I don't want to go to work, you know? And I come to you and I'm like, hey, I don't want to go. You know, I just, I'm a puke and I just, I don't want to go to work. I don't feel well. And you said something that day that I still remember today, which has forced me to show up whether I feel like it or not, which is you said, you do whatever you want to do, but you know what I would do. And that has woke me up then. And obviously I went to work that day, you know, what do you do after that? But I've never seen you miss a day of work, you know? I fortunately have never missed a day of work. Very fortunate. And ever since the day I turned six, I started working the day I turned 16 in a meat department. And on my 16th birthday, I started work. And I've never missed a day of work since that day. And I've been fortunate.  And you know, and so now today, obviously if I were contagious or something, I would stay home, but you know, in any way, but I've forced, I've never missed a day of work in my entire life and due to sickness or, you know, illness or anything of that nature. And it's just, you know, I'm thankful that I haven't done that. So, and hopefully I can, you know, continue that for many, many, many years to come. Why insurance? Like, you know what I mean? Because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be doing any of this. Well, I tell you, whenever I started, there was a gentleman in our church by the name of Ron Duncan. And so Ron Duncan is, he owns several furniture stores. And so we're, I mean, you know, we're in the same church together. And so Ron is needing some sales people. And I'm in, you know, I'm fresh out of high school and I'm in college at this time. And so Ron says, hey, if you wanna earn some extra money, you can sell furniture for me. Well, I'm thinking I'd go to a store, you know, put on a tie, wait for people to come in. And he's, and so I'm, and I said, I'm very interested. He says, okay, come meet me, meet with me. And so we met and he gives me a box. He hands me a index card box. And so I opened the index card box and there are pictures and they're categorized living room suits, dining room suits, mattresses, appliances, you know, just categorized pictures of these, you know, different household items that you could purchase. And I said, okay, so what I would do with this box?  And I'm like, I do what?  And I said, well, how much do I make? And he says, well, on a living room suit, he said that our cost is $400. So everything you sell at over $400, we split. And he said, so, he said, there's always a 300% markup in furniture. He says, so if you sell for 1200, you'll make 400. I'll make 400 and we'll pay the 400 to the manufacturer. And I said, okay, I said, this sounds like a pretty good deal. So I go out and so I go out and I just start knocking doors like crazy. I'm making a lot of money, a lot of money selling furniture door to door, just basically knock on the door. Hey, I'm Brian Askins, I'm with Dunkin' Furniture and I'm out here today to see if you have a need for any furniture at all, any appliances, living room suits, bedroom suit. I've got pictures of all the things I have to offer and I would get in a lot of houses. And kind of the funny story is we, and I did that for a couple of years and anyway, I did so well, I ended up training his son. His son just got out of high school and he wanted me to train his son. So I went to Mississippi, train his son. I went to Mississippi to help him open up a furniture store called Furniture Factory Outlet or I forget the name of it now, but something like that. But he had stores in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. And so I would go around and help train some of his people. And so, but the funny story was is that, so any time, you know, because most of these individuals didn't have great credit. So the credit applications that were getting higher interest rates. And so any time that, and we had to keep it on the books for so many months and I don't remember the number of months, but any time that some person faulted on the payments, we had to go repossess the furniture. So not only was I the salesman, I was also the person had to go repossess it. And I owned a little S10 truck back then. And so I would go and, you know, if they didn't make the payments, I'd have to go take the furniture back out of the house. And so I repossessed furniture also. And nothing fun, but it's just part of the business, part of the deal. And so anyway, so that was something that was very interesting, you know. It was a very, very interesting little deal and so. Think about all the lessons about business and sales and building value and selling a product they can't even see. They start looking at a freaking picture, you know. And warm people up and build a relationship with people and, you know, give them a no like and trust you pretty quick, you know. Gosh, most people would never want to do that or would, and about 99% people would fail at doing that, but man, think about the valuable lessons you learned from doing that. That's awesome. I made a lot of money, learned a lot of valuable lessons. I think that really kind of taught me how to sell. And... You can sell furniture out of the box. You can sell pretty much anything.  And it was a guy down in some part of Mississippi. I think it was Sardis, Mississippi or whatever. I can't remember exactly, but anyway, and I said, how much does he sell and so forth? And my goal was just to beat him. And I did. But I've always been very competitive in that situation. So, but it was a great lesson. And one thing Ron Duncan told me back then, and I've kind of heard the mentors of my life. They've always said something that kind of stuck with me. And this is kind of a, it's a crazy thing, but I've always thought it even today. He said, you may tell you the character of a man. He said, I can tell you real quick how to find out the character of a man. And I thought he'd be something really in depth and you know, something, and I said, how's that? He said, just look at his shoes. And I said, what do you mean? He said, if his shoes are clean, he has great character and he's going to, and he's an individual that cares about himself.  And so little things like that, you know, and like Milton Brock, which was also another mentor of mine. He'd said something when I became the general manager at Mutual of Omaha after, you know, Milton had retired and I was a district sales manager with him and I was replacing Milton. Milton hadn't retired, I'm sorry. He'd went to AAA property in Casually out in Northern California. He'd retired shortly after that. But one thing he told me, he said the key to success, and I remember him saying this, he said the key to success, he said, is always take care of the people. And so anyway, so anytime someone tells me something like it, you know, I never forget these little things. And he said, always take care of the people. And whenever I left, or I'm sorry, whenever he left and I took over and I opened the desk, desk door the very first day, he had a note in there, I still have it in my office today. He had a note written on just a notepad and it says, and it says, always take care of the people, Milton Brock.  He said, if you surround yourself with the right people, you can't fail. And so good, little things like that. And I just, I remember those things. That's awesome, that's awesome. This has been good, this has been some stories, it's been mixed with some, I personally, some of the stuff I've heard, some of it I haven't heard, you know. Wow, that's been really, what do you think about as you wrap up, what comes to mind with the phrase? Because that's kind of, that's the theme of this virtual event.  I see so many insurance agents quit every single day and they only fail because they chose to quit. I believe success is a decision in this business, especially, and if you just choose to keep pushing, even when it gets hard, not quit, what comes to mind when I say that? Probably what comes to mind most is every one of us are gonna have situations in our life that don't go the way we want them to. There's a lot of heartaches in life. Life is hard, you know, life is tough.  And instead of, you know, like, I never let y'all children complain about anything.  You know, you were, we're not sure if you were bit by a dog when you were very young and then you got hit by a softball bat when you were very young. So we're not sure which one of those did that. But I never let you use that as a complaint at all. You know, my daughter had the same hip disease I had and I never let her use that as a reason not to succeed. There's lots and lots of things that happen throughout life and to where we could easily just say, you know, hey, I give up and I understand it. Now it's hard, you know, and the easy thing is to give up. But I don't care what happens in life, we've got to keep pushing forward and got to make the best of every situation. One quick story that I could probably tell you that, you know, that when mutual and I parted ways, you know, I was the number one general manager with Mutual Hall at the time. And this was back in 2014. And when we parted ways, and it was not a pretty departure, you know, it was not. And most people would just kind of crawl up in a ball and feel sorry for themselves. And, you know, but I knew without a shout of a doubt that this was an opportunity for me, for my children and my wife and so forth, all my friends and peers and you know, et cetera, could see I can bounce back. And so, I immediately, when that happened on February 3rd, on February 4th, I had already applied for a new LLC, Secure Interance Group. I had started contacting carriers for contracts and I didn't let the dust settle. And to where, you know, most people have taken off for a month or two months and try to figure things out. I didn't do those things. I did not want a part of Corporate America again, ever again.  And with substantial amounts of money, just did not want to be a part of that again. And I wanted to have control of my own destiny going forward. Didn't want anybody ever to have control of my situation ever again. I wanted me to have control. And so, I knew that I had an opportunity here to teach my children, I don't care what happens in life, that you have an opportunity to make the best of the situation. And now, six years later, I'm not glad it happened the way it happened, but I'm tickled to death it happened. And, because I'm happier now than I've ever been, because I don't have to answer to corporate, you know. And, and the great thing about it is, is that once I did this, you know, my wife was telling me to go get a corporate job and, you know, how can you turn down that type of money? And, you know, we used an enormous amount of our savings that we had saved up to start Secure Insurance Group, more money than most people ever dream of, used an enormous amount. But I knew, in people like, well, why are you taking that risk? To me, it wasn't a risk. I knew insurance, I knew how to build an agency, I'd done it. And to me, it wasn't a risk, per se. It was, and I knew that we would be, you know, we're at today. And I know we've got a long way to go. We'll get there. I'm very, very confident of that. So, once I did that, my wife got behind me 100%. She was my first employee, you know, as far as the staff person. And she's still with me today.  Just couldn't, you know, couldn't have a better partner in life. And, so there's so many things that happened in life that we could easily, easily, easily take the easy road and just, you know, not push on. But regardless of what happens in life, we have to just make the best of every situation.  Hey, you're making some big money, right? You're, well, it's getting all fat. You're getting excited when you go to the bank. What you can do now, right? You need to know some tax strategies. I got the video for you. Click on that with my buddy, Jenny Frost. And I'll see you there. An individual tax return has a one in 100 chance of being pulled for audit. If you make over a million dollars, you have a one in 10 chance.


I want the world to know that New Orleans has a huge Vietnamese population there. My name is Tung Nguyen. I'm a chef and owner of T2 Street Food here at St. Rock Market. The original restaurant is called Tantan, which my parents opened back before Katrina. We labeled things during hurricanes down here in New Orleans. I was working there throughout college and I came across St. Rock. And I was like, you know what? So I want to have a restaurant inside of Timbuk. I'm American born, so I'm used to tacos, burgers. I was like, hey, this meat actually goes well with this cuisine in Vietnamese.  And that's how T2 came about. The food is not meant to be taken classically. There's a few things that are classically made and marinated and stuff like that, but I'm having fun with it. Just one big old melting pot of goodness. Three times a week routine to do fresh produce and stuff for the restaurant is one of the bigger wholesalers in the city. So everyone hustles first come first serve, trying to get the fresh products and stuff like that. And these old little ladies were in these other restaurants coming in. So I was like, oh, can I grab that real quick? It's really fun and it's unique too because you'll have different generations of restaurant tours and stuff like that. And I learn a lot from what items to get. We built a great relationship with the owners of the store because my parents have been in the industry for such a long time. So once I opened up T2, they knew of me. They knew my face.  My background in cooking is obviously I learned a lot from my mom. I'll wash your cook at home, learn a lot of techniques and stuff of her. I have a lot of support from my family. So they helped me throughout the process. I'm one of 13 kids and we're mostly chefs. We're always trying to make good quality food. We come home, everyone brings a dish and it's just a elaborate dinner from steaks to aged meats to all sorts of stuff. It just brings each one's individual talents to the table. Success to me is more about proving to my parents of the world that I am capable of how you raise me to be successful. Make my parents proud. That's how your mom's coming out.

I'm already in a time warp And I'll give the details. I'll read the little synopsis of it when I get to it in the email of everything coming So first of all, I'm gonna hit up. What are the shutter exclusives and originals movie-wise that are coming now? Just be aware that any of the shutter originals shutter exclusives I will have no spoiler movie reviews for the week they come out now. Usually they come out on Thursdays I will have my review for them on Mondays Typically unless something goes wrong like I get the screener late, which doesn't happen often or You know life gets in the way. I don't know. But yeah, so expect them every Monday for those films coming out so The first one coming out is for February 4th, and that is a nightmare wakes While composing her famous novel Frankenstein Mary Shelley descends into an opium-fueled fever dream while carrying on a torrid love affair with Percy Shelley as She writes the characters of her novel come to life and begin to plague her relationship with Percy Before long she must choose between true love and her literary masterpiece I've heard good things about this one. So I'm excited to check it out This is a shutter original and it's also available in Canada UK and New Zealand and Australia Now if I don't say the United States, it's because it's in the United States like default all these are in the US So just know that The next one is after midnight, which I've also heard good things about for February 11th Official selection of the tribe back tribe back a film festival ten years into a small town Storybook romance with Abby Hank. Wait, hold on Ten years into his a small town And it just doesn't make any sense storybook romance with Abby Hank suddenly wakes up to an empty home That makes no sense With nothing but a cryptic note to explain why she left Hank's charmed life begins to fall apart to make matters worse Abby's disappearance seems to trigger the arrival of a ferocious creature that crawls out of the old grove on the edge of his property That's a shutter exclusive US only unfortunately. Sorry people I'm excited for this one especially because there's a creature in it I love creature films and I don't watch enough of them. I feel like there aren't enough new ones The next one is shook, which is coming out February 18th When Mia a social media star becomes the target of an online terror campaign She has to solve a series of tests to prevent people she cares about from getting murdered But is it real or is it just a game at her expense?

They're putting out an episode every Saturday is what it looks like.

I don't know the size in terms of Cc but it's certainly a bigger head than we normally expect to see. It's very much flattened almost again it's got that very shallow profile but it's definitely that kind of more the overall profile is quite big and for some that would be good for others it won't and then there's one major difference and that's address is offset. And that is quite significant it's very notable on the eye and it's where I think it caused a significant problem. But I did think it was going to cause me a significant problem with the driver and for whatever reason it didn't. So the question is when I start hitting this is that offset again going to become a major issue or are we just going to find exactly what Jimmy says where basically this is one of the easiest three woods there is to get that ball up and out there and it certainly launches extremely high. Right so before I hit a golf ball what I want to see is a few comments from yourselves in I want to know who's tried the B21 because like I said it's been out for quite some time. And I think the bigger question is what are you looking for from a three wood and how many of you still game one. I know that I've done a lot of videos in recent weeks about how good sort of five woods are. They've probably become a little bit stronger lofted than they used to be almost like what irons have done. So I'm kind of seeing them from a personal level. I've dropped the three without the bag but how many of you still game a three wood and then what is it you want to do with it. Is a case if you're looking for this club to help you out off the tee or is it a case of still very much a fairway type of club. Because like I said I don't think a three wood is as versatile as perhaps what a kind of five wood is. But anyway what I will say when I try this in sort of a couple of different ways when I hit one off the tee peg and one off the deck and we'll see what kind of if we've got any options in terms of how I can possibly hit this club or is it just that closed face really eradicates a sort of left to right. What I'm going to do first of all is my sort of full tilt swing if I was playing from a tee and see what we can do. Wow the launch on the ball is incredible. I've gone on a slightly high tee peg. It's gone for miles to be quite honest with you but the biggest notable thing is probably that's the highest launch in three wood I have ever hit. It's gone into orbit and yes straight down the middle as well with a nice bit of shape. The thing that baffles me will leave that one on the deck. The thing that baffles me about these three woods is that all this sort of certainly draw biased sort of fairway wood and the same with the driver. The whole point is that it's to sort of eradicate that fade and what I worry about is sort of that one that just hit. I hit it sort of straight left because I almost feel like I've got to leave the club face just that open a little bit because it's so shut and closed at a dress. But you've seen that it was a little bit of a soft draw but I have got the tendency with this three wood just to turn it over a little bit. So I've got to make sure that I'm sort of keeping it open throughout impact which is clearly you know it's a challenge and not something you want to be doing every time. I'm going to take one off the deck and off the deck again I'd be looking sort of a bit more of a cut is the way I play these shots. Right sorry to butt in mid review but there's an important message which I keep forgetting to relay to our viewers and that's that the average golfers club has been a huge success. It's a members thing that we got together in recent weeks and I won't go into detail about what that is all about but it's the averagegolfer.co.uk is the website. You'll find out details there but the main bit I want to mention is that plenty of golfers are taking advantage of the factor. These products I review for golfer giving 10% off of them all. There's no ifs and buts. There's no restrictions. There's no conditions. It's that simple. So if you are thinking about buying any of these clubs that you see in these videos then go and have a look at what it means to be a member of the average golfers club. Honest it's a no brainer. Right back to the reviews. A such a powerful club though you know I'm well impressed with the B21 in terms of the driver. I love the Big Berther Irons they're getting so easy to use and I think this falls into that category. You've seen from that ball there we've still ended up in the rough and one is a tight par 4 we've picked. It just leaked out a little bit but you'll also see kind of how high it launches as well. And the last shot I'm going to try is the one off the deck but sort of giving. Giving a bit of meat if you like all in and again just that worry that can I hold it open enough that I'm not turning one over into that water. That's again slightly low ball fight caught that off the bottom but it seems to have seems to be going out there and it's again pretty much in the middle of the fairway. So the two shots that I actually went after a little bit turned out better than the one I was trying to sort of place down a fairway with a bit of a high cut. But the thing for me is this with this driver fairway would go back to what Jimmy said incredibly easy to launch. I think again the question I asked you what is it you're looking for from this type of club. I'd almost say that in the distance wise from what I got it a couple of decent ones with a camera on there but from the overall data which I'll put up in front of you now. What you'll see is that I was a kind of 210 215. Yeah I got older a few as well it was almost a club that you could use in two ways. You either used it to find a fairway which for me like I said is that sort of high cut ball which I'm losing a bit of distance but I've got sort of 215 around that sort of mark.  The longer balls come from me a more draw shape shot that are really sort of give it full tilt. Club head speed is up just a little bit but you'll see the ball speed in the overall carry change significantly. So it's a versatile club you can play it in different ways even with that sort of shut face you can still open it up to hit a fade it's still doable. I think for me it's the kind of it's we go back to I think Jimmy give the best explanation this is an easy to use three word I'd not tried it up until this morning. And as I've said with the fair with the driver and with the irons that they did in this range it's an incredibly good performing club in terms of ease of use and will suit a lot of golfers. If you can overcome that one thing that I think is the massive problem with both clubs and it's the category that's in its design that way. It's just that offset address is really visible and on this on the three word perhaps more noticeable than the driver. And it's one thing that would probably mean that I wouldn't use it because I do feel like I say I've got to make I've got to adapt my setup to accommodate from that offset and probably that's not the best way you want to address a ball. Anyway, as ever, thank you for watching. I enjoyed that one it was a bit of a I didn't know where to do the video because like I said it was the product has been out quite a few months. I think it was mid part of last year or maybe 12 months old is now but I still think if you can pick one up they're still retail full price still in production from Callaway and part of this year's model. So it's probably still relevant anyway that's me done as ever hit that like button comments down below and I'll see you all very soon.


I'm very delighted to be here for the third edition of the annual gathering to appreciate the efforts of the ministries, the departments, the agencies, the private sector whose immense contributions have improved our business climate over the past 18 months. It's important to applaud all these efforts and show that indeed there is gold in our green. The mandate of Pebeck, the prevention and handling business environment council, is to meet the effort to remove the bottlenecks and constraints in our business environment and especially those obstacles that prevent small and medium enterprises from unlocking their full potential. These small businesses are a critical part of our economy as they contribute about 48 percent of our GDP and about 80 percent of jobs in the country. So Pebeck's efforts in the last reform cycle have yielded commendable fruits. Nigeria has been heard so many times rose 15 places on the World Bank doing ease of green business rankings in 2019 and altogether 39 places since 2016. We've also heard that we were considered one of the 10 best reforming economies in the world. In specific terms, Nigeria made starting a business easier by operationalising a new electronic platform that integrates the FIRS, the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Corporate Affairs Commission platforms. Also, registering property in Lagos is now more transparent with the digitisation of cadastral plans in a geographical information system with digital companies now available. As regards enforcing contracts, the chief judges of Lagos State and Cannes State have introduced pre-trial conferences and a strict limit on adjuncts in their practice directions for their small-name scouts. These steps created a more inclusive and enabling environment for small businesses. So we must all appreciate the efforts of our tireless civil and public sector, especially the award winners today. The Federal Inland Revenue Service, the Federal Airports Authority, the Nigerian Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAVDAC and the Nigerian Immigration Service NIS. The awards they have received are a tribute to what we can achieve if we work purposefully and diligently and they prove that by diligent and purposeful work a lot can be achieved within them. We've seen so much of what they've done, especially in the past 18 months. The private sector also deserves our heartfelt gratitude and commendation for their commitment and collaboration, especially contributions in technical support and capacity building. We must in particular thank the law firms of Banu and the Goudaou, O'Hillau and addition of Crown Court Attorneys and also KPMG Nigeria, Pukto Amgambu and Deloitte Nigeria as well. And of course we must appreciate the EPES or EBS, the Secretariat Enabling Business Environment Secretariat, led by the tireless Dr. Jim O'Kair O'Dooley, Special Advisor on Enabling Business Environment. As we all know the Secretariat is the heart of implementing the mandate of PEP and they've done an excellent job once again in this cycle and we're looking forward to some of the great things that they'll be doing in the future. But what is more important than moving the rankings and moving up each time is the need to ensure that all our efforts translate into long-term sustainable growth for the Nigerian economy. We must keep our business environment in Nigeria competitive and friendly for business. We are the logical destination for business in Africa but that does not in and of itself translate to investments. Our business environment must make the case by itself to investors as to why they should come here as opposed to going elsewhere. We're currently midway through the National Action Plan 5.0, which is the fifth iteration of the National Action Plan and we should really be putting our best foot forward and working harder than ever to realize the lofty goals that Mr. President has set for us this year. Finally, I'd like me on behalf of the President, President Mohammed Buhari and the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, again congratulate all the award winners for their very well-deserved recognition. Welcome. And I want to say just before I say that you must absolutely wait and have dinner. I have to leave but I've been told that when I leave everybody else leaves. But the dinner today is very special indeed and it has come at rather great cost to be very poor funded, poorly funded. So please wait behind and have dinner. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the evening.


Now oftentimes you might want to start off with a very simplified report and this is often good for presentation purposes as well, something that's easy and then you expand on the data. So if I wanted to simplify this report, there's a couple ways we can do it. Let's just practice that with the edit tool over here. And one way I could do it is I could say, well, what if I just collapse, like I could collapse this stuff right here and then I could collapse everything. And then, and so now I've just got my categories, right? So if I was to present this to somebody, I could update the data and say, let's not get into too much detail. Let's just break it out by account category as like a summary report. There's my current assets, fixed asset liabilities and equity.


practical steps that you can take that I'd like to focus on tonight insha'Allah when it comes to providing our children with a good upbringing and if you are someone who is not yet married don't say to yourself I don't need this topic as a matter of fact I think you needed more than those who are already married and have children and maybe for some of them God forbid the ship is sailed so if you are still not married and young then listen extra carefully the first thing that we must do in order to ensure that we have children who are God fearing God believing law abiding productive spiritual members of society it's a no brainer but it's still very important is that you have to be a good role model for them brothers and sisters you have to be the perfect role model for them not just a good one because the truth of the matter is as we say in this culture the apple doesn't fall far from the tree if you do not practice what you preach then surely you can't expect your children to be good people if you're the kind of person who slacks off when it comes to prayer time how can you expect your children to pray don't you come back to me at the age of 15 when your children have reached the age of 15 and tell me oh what am I what do I do Moulana my child doesn't pray because you yourself never took your prayers seriously that's why the hadith says ma waqara salah you have not respected prayer as much as you should have if you perform will go after the Iran meaning that you need to prepare before the event you need to create a good environment for the children they need to appreciate the importance of Salah lead Salah prayers in your own home if you're not going to go to the local mosque then do so at your own home we have a tradition that says that when it comes time for Salah it is recommended for someone for everyone that is especially the father of the house to recite the event out loud in their home recite the event make sure everyone knows some people have like an alarm clock or something which is good but what is it much better than that and for you to demonstrate your children how seriously you take prayer and worship is for you to recite the event out loud yourself then after a while when they get the hand of it then get your kids to do it get your son get your daughter to recite the event you'll see how such a beautiful value-based upbringing will lead them to be so religious and so devout that if God forbid they see their parents lacking off they'll be the ones pushing them further into these values there is a beautiful hadith which you've all heard but maybe I'll try and address the hadith from the perspective that perhaps you haven't looked at before it's the prophetic hadith that's narrated by not just the Holy Prophet but also the subsequent imams which provides the key ingredients and providing our children with a good upbringing the Prophet says that up until the age of seven leave your child now this might confuse some of us what does it mean to leave the child you may not tell them anything not teach them anything if they don't if they do something wrong we shouldn't admonish them we shouldn't reprimand them we shouldn't do anything and the answer to that brothers and sisters is this up until the age of seven your actions speak much louder than your words talk is cheap it's very easy to say be good respect your mother but if I'm not respecting my mother if I'm not respecting his mother how do I expect him to respect his mother if I'm not being courteous in my speech when it comes to my friends my family when people come over when the guys are having a guy's night out and the son sees me dealing with my friends in a manner that is less than appropriate how can I expect him to be respectful in the home if I'm using language that is inappropriate how can I expect him not to use that kind of language and not to develop a foul mouth your actions speak much louder than your words one instance in fact of hypocrisy of a lie of a foul action or language can completely disrupt the child's upbringing and development now when the prophet says that you shouldn't that you should let them be a truck or leave them for seven years he's not saying that you should abandon them a good example of that is when you plant a seed in the earth when the seed has been planted listen carefully there's not much else that you can do to the seed can you the seed is already in the belly of the earth what you can do and what you must do is that you need to provide it with an environment that's conducive for its development and its positive growth meaning that you water it that you give it sunshine that you put it in the right place that you give it the kind of dirt that has nutrients in it in other words you provide all of the factors the environmental factors that it needs to grow on its own the house has to be pure brothers and sisters this I think I will sum up in this statement what this means is that in the deepest recesses of your mind you have to be a religious person you have to be someone who abides by those good universal divine values brothers and sisters you have to be a religious person you have to believe what you are telling them right they will follow your actions listen to this hadith the prophet says I have a banana come show affection to your children instead of displaying your love and affection through toys and gadgets show it to them physically kiss them hug them right the Holy Prophet used to do that all the time all the time one day there's a man who came to the Prophet and he noticed that the Prophet was really going all out showing love and affection to his son Al Hassan and Hussain so he said to the Prophet why would you do this I buried seven of my daughters while they were still alive with my bare hands this is really strange this is awkward why are you doing all of this in public this is this is a public display of affection that we're not familiar with the Prophet said to him get away from me what do I do with you when you when your heart has been stripped of all mercy you give me that as an example that you killed your own daughters alive you think that's how you can man up man up by being a compassionate father a loving mother make sure that you satisfy their every emotional and sentimental need I say this specifically for our daughters make sure that our girls and our daughters are shown so much love and affection from their parents that they don't follow any random man who 10 15 20 years later shows them the slightest hint of love so they don't fall for any petty individual because they're saturated they're satisfied they have the love of their parents that's filled them and their every iota of their being now now let's go back to the hadith the Prophet says show affection and love to your children then he says and if you ever promise them make sure you fulfill that promise because they think of you almost as they think of their God you know how if you ask your three-year-old or your four-year-old who's the greatest person in the world and they'll say my dad is when in all likelihood their dad is not the greatest person in the world who's the strongest man in the world my dad is who's the best and most beautiful mommy in the world my mommy is so the Prophet says that they see you as their God that's how they look up to you that's how much respect they have for you they see you as their ultimate role model as their hero so if you ever make the slightest mistake that will forever tarnish and blemish their personality in other words you my dear father my respected mother you don't blame society don't blame the media you are the ultimate reason why they succeed or God forbid fail number one be religious practice what you preach number two we don't have a lot of time I'd prepared about seven or eight different points but I don't think we have time to cover them all number two when you are religious then there is a physical manifestation of that religiosity that takes shape in reality let me try and explain that just like every action has an equal and opposite reaction as we read in physics just as every good deed leaves an impact in our lives just like every act of transgression also leaves an impact in our lives and physical reality and I've given a whole series of lectures about this many years ago called the physics of sin you can look them up being a religious person in itself will produce good children so the role model aspect aside it is God himself who intervenes and helps you with the upbringing of your children if you yourself are religious if you yourself uphold those divine universal values let me tell you how in the Quran in Surat Al-Kahf Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells the famous story of Prophet Musa A.S. and Prophet Khidr and without getting into details about this incredible eye-opening tale in the Quran two of the incidents that Musa and Khidr go through that confuse the hell out of Musa A.S. involve children right one of them is where Prophet Khidr comes to this wall that's about to collapse and he renovates it he fixes it so Musa says to Khidr why would you do this when the people in this village drove us out and refused to host us and refused to feed us or give us any water why would you provide them with this service ultimately Khidr explains to Musa and this wall belongs to two children who are orphans then he says and their father was a good man so we wanted to preserve this wall because underneath it there is a treasure chest and if the wall had collapsed the treasure would have been exposed so we he says interestingly enough he doesn't say I because he says Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted to do to do this there is a divine element in all of this God is moving heaven and earth to compensate a good father for his good deeds he says that we renovated the wall so that the children will grow and once they've matured they can come and find that treasure on their own now here's the amazing part in that story Imam of Sadaq says that the distance in time between that father and these two orphans was 700 years 700 years ago there was a good man who uphold religious upheld religious values did good things gave charity worshipped God served mankind Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is still paying him he's still compensating him 700 years ago when he has two orphans from his lineage who could use the money God sends two of his greatest prophets to ensure that their wealth remains intact


I just got to get your help on this farm bed. Just got to partner. I can't have you going over with Charlie Hallick and 30 other Democrats showing the world that I can't lead nobody. If I can't lead Paul, I can't lead nobody. I know you've got a tough time. I know what it is.  But I'll be in your district more than they will and I'll have more votes in it. And I'll come when you need me. But I just sure enough got to have your help. I just can't have you going voting with Charlie Hallick and 25 other 30 Democrats and beating me when I've got to show them that first place, this is in my budget. I've got a letter from the budget director. It cost us 400 less million this year, 65, and it did 64 for pass this bill. And anybody can justify it on that economy if no other basis. And I think you can justify it by just saying I got, I want to give my president one vote and I want him to do something for me. But I've got to help him on this and most of my other boys are in Haaland Voting Park. Can't you do that? Mr. President, I was trying to get some calls in here to try to see if I couldn't go along and try to help you. I sure want to as you know that. My difficulties. Well, but this one cuts out. This makes them volunteer. This cuts it out. Hell, this, this program saves the government 400 million in 65 over 40 wars in 64. And if you kill this bill tomorrow, you'll cost my budget an extra 125 million dollars. And I've got to let him the budget director. You can put in your file and it'll show you that.  If you vote to kill this bill, you'll vote for 125 more than you would if you vote to pass it. Well, let me send you that letter up there and give me this vote. There ain't many times that I need it this bad, but hell, I don't want you off at 25 or 30 dollars. Now, Haaland voted with me and I'm getting most of the delegation. I'm getting every, I ain't one man in my whole Texas delegation that's going to be against me. That's Glendale Beckworth and I haven't talked to him yet. Yes, sir. Mr. President, may I do this? May I make a couple of calls? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But please stay with me. Stay with me.  I just want, just one thing, but I want this and I'll help you. Whatever it is, I'll swim upstream for you. I appreciate that, Mr. Mayor. I appreciate your calling and I'll touch base with you tomorrow. Please do that in the morning because I've got to get these votes together. I can't let Charlie have it. He's making it a policy issue and all he has man to vote. I'll touch base with you then in the morning. All right, Paul. All right. Thank you.


What's going on everyone? Just got back today was quite an eventful day and it inspired me just to sit down and make a One-on-one sort of chat style video and this video is more directed to meet dairy negators Non-vegans people who still use products animal products. I wanted to highlight the fact that a Lot of you might not know because it's not advertised that you know not too far away from you right now There's facilities that are slaughtering animals abusing animals torturing animals not foot not far from you at all I mean I only had to drive an hour and a half away from me to come to a pig processing Facility where they gas pigs All right, so here we are just we're just outside a Major major slaughterhouse here in South Australia and they kill Over 600,000 pigs here a year Okay, there we go We're right behind truck full of pigs and this is the same street that the gas chambers are on Through there is all chicken sheds.  It's scary for them. They get electrically prodded They don't want to go in the reality is this stuff is happening wherever you are in the world not too far away just so we can eat trivial things like sandwiches and Hot dogs and stuff like that So after after being at the At the gas chambers We went for another another drive to just to find some other animals We went and hung out with some sheep lambs baby lambs sheep You know if their fate isn't to be killed and eaten young as a lamb six months Sometimes younger a spring a spring lamb young as three months If that's not their fate then that they're to they're exploited for their wool after they can't produce any more wool They're killed. So that's the fate of sheep later later on we went and found some cows my girlfriend we went and drive around looking for some cows and She saw them and we went we drove around we thought they were full-grown cows But then we walked walked up to the paddock and we seen that they were calves I think one was a girl one was a boy because one had little horns and Really timid-placid animals beautiful animals really gentle Okay, oh It's really hard to gain the animals trust and this is what I want to focus on those animals they trust us Right that we are supposed to be their protectors Okay, and we stab them in the back.   I mean the other options are a bolt gun to the head knife will slashed across the throat These beautiful beautiful gentle creatures who trust us And this is what we do to a month, I'm not saying that you know meet dairy negate your bad people not at all You just you just don't understand what's happening right under your nose Okay, and it's really is happening Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that your choices your food choices aren't causing it You know, we're better than this as a species. We are better than this We we care for animals like I was watching this movie called a dog's purpose for me It all began with a boy If you haven't seen the movie and it's just highlights are it just focuses on how much we love dogs Like we love dogs so much like we wouldn't I've seen this other YouTube video where People were getting offered like a million dollars to sell their dog and they wouldn't accept it No one would sell their dog. You don't want to sell them for a hundred thousand dollars Really why is that you love him? Yeah, what about a million if I could get a million together would you do it? You want to sell them for a million dollars? Not even for a hundred thousand dollars Why won't you do it as human beings? We love dogs and cats and horses But these animals so much and you can see like we they're part of your family Some some people don't have any friends just dogs. That's how much I love dogs And if anyone killed or heard a dog like if they do in Newland, China China where they were they torture the dogs because they believe the cruelty makes the meat taste better You know people can't handle that especially people in Westernized countries where they love their their pets They can't handle seeing what happens to dogs overseas and these other animals these animals that that You know as non-vegans you eat and we wear we use they are no different to it to any other pets that you have No different at all that they all have individual personalities. They care for their families They don't want to suffer They want to live a happy life just like your dog does just like you do I'm just I'm pleading with you like to To get to know these animals these animals that we've forgotten Go out have a look have a look at these farms. Just just just connect With the animals okay, and understand that your daily choices every dollar you spend can either go Towards their suffering and violent death or it can go To a cruelty-free option you can support support vegan options, and it's so easy to be vegan It's ridiculously easy to be vegan most foods you eat a vegan already potatoes rice pasta beans I mean it does take a little bit of getting used to but the support network is here I mean as a vegan community. We're here to support you make the transition. No one wants to Commit horrible acts of violence against animals, but the problem is is we're blindfolded, and we don't know that our Dietary habits are directly funding it and causing it Okay, so I just thought I'd make that video directed to non-vegans I know I've got a lot of vegans that watch this video watch my channels watch my video But there are some non-vegans followers who watch my stuff, and yeah This this video is just for you just to look inside yourself and connect connect with these animals and understand What they're going through and make changes Yeah, wherever you live just just think not too far away from you there is these Concentration camp like slaughterhouses where they just torture and kill sentient animals


Fire and Rubber Company, world's largest manufacturers of low-priced fires, presents another half hour of music and entertainment in connection with the introduction of General's revolutionary corkscrew-bryp non-kid fire. We announced an unusuality for hundreds of young men in all parts of the country. It was a rather long announcement, parting somewhat from our customary use of radio. We have been greatly pleased with the many responses from the listening public favorite, the most ratified to receive hundreds of right-of-way pockets. Here he is in person. Thank you, Don. I wasn't heard of this, folks. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this being the start of the school season for the children, we are going to dedicate tonight's program to the kids, the future presidents of this country. Of course, 10.30 p.m. is rather late to broadcast to the children, only the Pacific. Oh, Don, say, when I was a kid eight years old, I never got to bed until 7 p.m. 7 p.m.? Yeah, I was always a sucker for those night clubs, you know.  Well, didn't they mind? No, about midnight a rooster would look over at me and say, just another egg, you know. Well, anyway, Jack, I think it's a swell idea of putting on a program for the school children. I think so, Don. You know, it brings us back to the days when we were kids. You remember your school days, Don? I sure do. Oh, I was a bright pupil, too, Jack. I was first in reading, writing, and sex appeal. First in sex appeal? Well, yes. And do you know who was in my class? Who? Clark Gable. Well, you're not in his class now, Don. You know, I was pretty good at school myself, really. I was first in mathematics, geography, and hooky. Don, when you went to school, did you ever play hooky? No, just basketball and tennis. Well, hooky isn't quite as strenuous, but I'm sure you would have liked it. You know, Don, I played hooky for four years and never saw the inside of the school. Oh, don't kid me. Yep. And when my father wanted me to go to West Point, but I hated to stay away from there, too, so I didn't go, you know, I think. Well, Jack, you were on the wrong path. Why do you know that Abraham Lincoln thought nothing of walking 10 miles to school every morning? Well, I don't think so much of it myself. Not only that, but, but he used to spend hours reading books alongside of a dim oil lamp. Well, I do that, too, but where can you get a lamp nowadays, you know? Mary had a little lamp. Oh, hello. Hello, Mary. Hello, Jack. What's on the bill affair tonight? Oh, I'm glad you got here early. We're doing a kiddie program tonight. See, why didn't you tell me I would have had my hair curled? You look all right. You know, Mary, we were just talking about the days when we were kids, you know, school and everything. You remember your school days? Do I? I was some kid, too. The teacher gave me some of the best marks in our class. I don't believe it. Well, they're all healed up now. Oh, I thought so. What public school did you go to, Mary? Vassar. Vassar? That's a college. You don't go there until you graduate public school. You see, public school prepares you for Vassar.  I see, I see. Well, what did you take up at Vassar? I started to learn medicine. I wanted to be a doctor. Oh, that's marvelous, Mary. Why did you quit? How would I look with a silk hat and a beard? You're right. You're right after all. I don't blame you. So then I took up telephone surgery. Telephone surgery? What's that? I learned to operate on a switchboard. Get out of here. Get out. Scat, scat. Well, here I am. What are you, what of it? Hello. Oh, say, Jack, by the way, I saw a preview of that picture you made, transatlantic merry-go-round. Oh, did you? How is it, Bert? Oh, it's swell. I mean, how am I in it? Well, Jack, you know, after all, Rome wasn't built in a day. I should never have asked that. Wilson, this is Bert Wheeler. Bert, this is Don Wilson, our announcer. Hello, Don. Uh, Wheeler, did you say? Yes, Bert Wheeler of Wheeler and Wolsey. I don't care where he's from, every Wheeler should have the general tire because it has the non-skid porkscrew grip and it's bull out-proof. Does he mean me, Jack? No, no, no, the tire. All right, stay, play, Don. Boy, Hannibal, that was, uh, that was Don Vester and his boys playing Don's own composition Contended. And now for the children's entertainment. Those of you who listened last week will remember we had a school day program. But after the first day, we fired all of the pupils and hired new ones for this week. We thought our school act was all right, but here's a criticism we received from a professor at Catherine Cornell University. He says, uh, listen to Jack Benny's aerial school days, and although he had lots of pupils, he had no class. The, uh, the plot was prosaic. What's prosaic, Mary? A town in New Jersey. Oh, that's right. Prosaic, New Jersey. That's near Paterson. Well, anyway, tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot of new pupils and we will start our school act immediately. Janitor, open that schoolhouse, ring that bell, lift that barge, hold that bail. Play, Don. Oh, dang, oh, red mistake, far to that tune of a hang, green mistake. And me and John who were, we were. A head to cheese, studies and tongue go down. Say, Lois woman, with your diamond ring, when we were a couple of years. Children be seated. I will now call the roll. Frankie Parker Jr. Here I am teacher. I am right here. Don Bester Jr. A little horse this morning, Don. Walter Winchell Jr. You can poke me a saying without fear of contradiction that I'm here. That's something I never noodle now. Mary Livingston. Oh, I'm here. I never missed a program yet. Where? Right here with Bert Wheeler. Dorothy Lee didn't show up. Do you want to play school, Bert? Yeah, Jack.  All right, all right. Bert Wheeler Jr. Absent. We're not serving anything. Eddie Cantor. Eddie Cantor Jr. I'm right here, teacher, but my daughter's from Hollywood making a picture. Freddie Allen Jr. Funny thing happened to me, teacher, on my way to school this morning. I'll tell you about it. It seems a woman got on the bus. Never mind. Are you here? Are you here or not? No. That's all I wanted to know. Don Wilson Jr. General Tyre. He's here. Rudy Vallee Jr. Hi, all everybody. Little Rodious here again. Harpo Marx Jr. What's that? Stupnegel and Bud Jr. I'm here, teacher. Are you there, Bud? I'm here. We're short of access. Oh. Well, I guess everybody's here. Before we begin our lessons for the day, we will have our usual morning exercises. Stand up, children.  Heads up. Hands on hip. Now pull out your bottles and put them on teacher's desk until after school. Exercise is over. Now for the first lesson today, we will take up radio. Turn to page three, Broadcasting. Frankie Parker Jr., do you know your radio songs? Yes, teacher. Let's have it. Christina Jack. What time, Bert? At 11.30. Okay. And look the whole world in the face. Party, you old, not any man. Week in, week out from born till night. You can hear his bellows glow. Good night, teacher. Good night, Don. I won't be here tomorrow. Who's keeping you home? Your father and mother? No, McLaren and Rod. You can hear him swing his heavy flage with measured beats and mellows, like a sexton ringing the village bell when the evening sun is low. Good night, teacher. Good night, Johnny Wood. Thanks very much for doing this presentation. You're welcome.  One in-walked a girl whose name was Lou, even as you and me. Little both teased she lost some sleep and didn't know where to find us. And Mary had a little lamb, and there it was behind her.  Tonight's the cause of the very flattering interest which has been expressed by the car owners of our audience. This is a nice little broadcasting trouble. 11 o'clock, Eastern daylight savings. AF, New York.
