A horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hyal silver, the lone ring. In the wild and lawless days of the early western United States, honest men and women found it hard to defend their lives and property. The local sheriffs were powerless against the bans of outlaws that roamed the new territory, and it was not until the masked rider of the plane started this great fight for justice that peace and security were brought to the frontier. It was he more than any other man who made possible the winning of the West. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Out of the past come the thundering hoofed beech of the great horse Silver, the lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver! We're heading for Split Rock! A rodeo was in full swing just outside the little town of Split Rock, thus whirl high, grinning in the sun. Cowhands and town folk hooped and cheered as the bulldogging contest neared its finish. A young Mexican woman stood beside her husband as he coiled the rope once more and made sure it was ready for use. No, Kelto bulldogged this deer in less than one minute, Esteban.  I will keep Kelto poof like nothing. That is worth fighting for. Maybe it is more better you lose, Esteban. Lose? But why you want me to lose? Then your Kelto's one bad man. He'd be very angry. Don't make no difference. A man who does not fry at all is no man. He is a cheat. You do not want your husband to be a cheat. I want my husband to be alive. You have had bad dreams, no, Tito? I am alive and strong. Since we come from Mexico, we have built ranchos, got plenty cow, everybody good friend with Esteban. Kelto, he is not friend. Don't be foolish, Tito, everybody friend. Hey, Esteban, you all set to take your crash at bulldogging? You see, what was all ready. The tying rope, she's ready, the horse, she's ready, and Esteban, she's ready, too.  Huh?  I tell him, too. What is this about? You tell me. Don't mistake me, don't, Esteban.   You're all right. But, Kelto, he's sort of the big chief around these parts. Don't do for some newcomer to beat him at nothing. I'm telling you for your own good. You like my horse, what for, sir? Oh, I get it. You ain't taking no advice, eh? What kind of steer I draw? All right, all right. You're stubborn, Cos, Esteban. I sure wish you luck. Oh, and there's another thing. He ain't draw such a good steer. What do you mean? Well, ma'am, like I say, Kelto ain't fooling. Esteban, he fixes so you've got a full-legged hunk of lightning to bulldog. Oh, then I bulldog him right to the ground, eh? Give you an alibi, Esteban.  Not when you've got a tough animal to handle. You, my friend, what was that? Thank you. But no, I, Esteban, you go... No, he comes now. Huh? Oh. Hello, Kelto. Hello, what is it? There's a matter, Esteban. You're backing down or something? I figured you was too chickenhearted to go through with it. Senor Kelto is mistaken. Here, boy. All ready. You let go of the steer. I got you. Don't get troubled. Mr. Bond, maybe better you go. You're not just what's for your ways. Bring out the steer. We're off him good. Well, I reckon this here is it.  Hey, boy. We've got high flyers coming to grief trying to beat me. Play off him, Kelto. He's a nice fella. Don't braze. Get that sooner than he figures. Uh, Esteban, you ready? Is he all ready? Then let him go. They've got his horse already. He's going up. Esteban, Esteban. Steer right up and fell right on top of him. The poor fellow. Esteban. Before we get the doctor, he's going to need a softball. Get the doctor. I reckon I fixed him a plan. You admit the doc on the way over, Esteban. We're all mighty sad to hear about you, Miss Fortune. Boy, it's nothing. Sooner will be better than you see. Yeah. Well, anyways, all the boys is pretty busy, you know. But sure, they're busy. He's a busy time of year. Yeah, but if there's anything we can do to help you out, Esteban. Thank you very much. But I know everyone very busy. Too much work now for everybody. Me and Zito, we get along. We got Charlie, one fine car, and we get along. Yeah. About that steer, Esteban, is the one that broke your leg. Yes. Don't you figure it was kind of funny how it happened? Right after Kelto warned you to lay on it. What do you mean? Well, you think maybe Kelto'd do something to make Carl fall on me? Pull up there, Esteban. I'd say that. If it's true, I'd fix him for always. Anyone cheat like that, I'd kill him.  What for, if Kelto here? What's the matter with me? That's why the way I think nobody does something like that, nobody. Or you should not make talk like that. Yeah, I guess I shouldn't. Really, just step by to say howdy. Got to be mowing along. Howdy, ma'am. Yes, c'est tout. Sounding wrong. Well, I reckon I'll be dragging out of here. Adios, Esteban. Adios, Voters. Oh, wait, senor. Show you through your holes. Is that the wrong, huh? Senor Voters, you good friend. I go to get Charlie. He's gone. He'll leave his note. You don't have to show me the note, ma'am. I know Jocow hand skipped out of four. Come in. You see, he got orders to make tracks. Kelto told him. Kelto don't like the snow. Kelto don't like your years. You know, he fixed that steer, your husband bulldog. That's how come Esteban's broke his leg. What we do if we don't care for the ranch or we lose everything? I don't know, ma'am. Kelto's too powerful for us to go against his orders. I'd like to help. You don't tell Esteban this.  No, ma'am. I didn't tell him. I do job all I can, but there's too much. Let's say, the only chance is to hire some hands that don't know about Kelto, savvy. What do you mean? Get some range grifters whoever passes by. Of course, as soon as Kelto hears about it, he'll see the vermouth. But you get some work out of them before they pull up stakes. But nobody comes this way. I don't know. I've seen a couple early this morning. Yeah, I wasn't close enough to get a good look, but I've seen the horses. A big white horse in the paint. They're strangers in this part of the country. Senor, you mean you will get them for us? Sure, if I run across them. I don't know how to thank you, Senor Varsus. A small thanks, ma'am. If we had more backbone, we'd stand up to Kelto for you. But, well, we got families. You keep on fighting, ma'am. I'll try to locate them too, I've seen. So long as your husband don't know, it'll be all right. I'll find them. Sonnet, I could have swore they was headed this way. I'd already assigned them. But the tracks head along here.  Why don't they stick to open trails? Well, I reckon I might as well head for home gone. Looking for us, mister? What in? That's that way. Tell us behind you. An engine. Use day, make time. Go find a way to sneak up on a jean. Sure, I was looking for you. We noticed you trailing us. Talon and I prefer not to be taken by surprise. All I come for was to pardonation. I didn't notice. You're a man. Keep away from your gun. Stranger, that was the fastest draw I ever seen. He ain't done guns. What do I want for this? Your mass. You wouldn't be interested in nothing like us. No, you tell us. We'll be the best judges of that. Hold, we tell her. Him, Tal, came a hobby. All right, but I can see I'm wasting time. Here's how it is. It's a lady in trouble on a car of her husband. What did you think of Watress's story, Talon? We go as to find Rancho. Yes. Yes, I think this is it here. Hello, Watress is honest. No doubt of that, but he was hiding something. You can do that. It seems strange that Esteban would need cowhands and not be able to get them from this section. But we'll learn what's behind this sooner or later. Oh, Scott. Shout, I'm here. Oh, I see you heard us coming. I understand you've got work for two cowhands. You do not sound like cowhand. If your husband is ill, Talon, I will be glad to help for a while. The doctor said it will be two months. Oh, that's a long time. Tell me, why don't you get some help from the men around here? If you do not want work, you need not stay with... You wear a mask. It's dark. I didn't notice before. Whatever. I suppose we'll leave it this way. I'll continue to wear my mask and you can keep your secret. What do you mean, a secret? No reasons for wanting us to work here. We won't ask you and you won't ask us. But I do... Your place is far enough from town, so you get few callers. It won't be noticed. Agreed? Very well. We'll start work tomorrow. Here you go. Corral, these horses, silver. All right, Sutter. They're all in the corral. Drop the bar. How long we stay, Kimosavi? It won't be much longer, Sutter. We're doing us about a good turn. We'll see. Red horse, put brand mark on, and we waste time. More than one moon go by. What's that? Where are you? Hey, still there, Jimmy? I've been waiting for you on your part. So, Esteban got himself some hired hands, eh? What you want? What your name? My name's Keller, engine. I'm going to see you make tracks out of your pronto. Took me a long time to learn that Esteban had picked up a couple of waddies. Hmm? We not go. Engine, I ain't arguing. I aim to smash that Mexican if I have to chase him across the border, personal. You move or I'll shoot you where you stand. Hunter, stay. You'll not shoot man without gun. It's your tough luck to have no gun, engine. But that don't stop me. Take a last look at this guy, engine. I'm going to... Oh, put in some de- Hey, where's my gun? Why, eh? You're not hurt. I'm able to hit your gun. Now, him, Batman, Kimosabi, him, say, him, fix, that's the bond. I can piece it together, Sutter. So you're the reason why we were hired instead of someone from town. I'm warning you to make tracks, Mr. Yip. Well? Eh, you may as- Get out of here, Kelzer. Yeah, sure. Sure, I'm going. But you better get smart, Savvy. Mask or no mask, I'm telling you to get out of what age of business. That's your horse? I'm getting there, I'm getting. Forget this. I run this country, see? I'll be back. If you and that engine are still around, you're running to trouble. I aim to bust this and bond wide open. And nobody's going to stop me. Get up, eh?  The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. Kelzer left Esteban's ranch and spurred his horse toward the town of Split Rock, where his men were waiting for him in the Brazos Cafe. Yeah, it's not tight to take Kelzer alone to dust him waddies off of Esteban's place. You know Kelzer. He sure runs his town high and mighty. Maybe it won't be so easy to do as your wildcat's figure. Who asked you to stick your nose in, Watris? High tail out of here. Get out before I... Now wait. Someday you gun-toting arches is going to get what's coming to you. From you, I said nothing. Get out of here. Yeah, sure, I'm going. Grab his belt, you will help him out. No, no, no. I got you. All right, Glacier. Yeah, pass him away from that door. He'll hear the sundown.  What's it for then? Oh, hello, Kelzer. We tossed Watris out on his ear. He did, eh? He said something about maybe to have a tough time chasing them desert ramblers off Esteban's land. And you think that's funny, eh? Well, ain't it? Who was it seeing them two riding her in Esteban's cars? Me. You know that, Kelzer. Yeah. Why didn't you tell me when I was a ninja? Well, I didn't take a close look at it. And the other one, the big fella, wore a mask. Yeah, a mask. But, boss, how did he... And it was just like lightning. And the horses stood this high.  A white horse. He didn't send him stampeding? We sent him. Listen, you ought to repeat it. He done it to me. Hey, Kelzer, a masked man and a white horse. You mean that there was a... Yeah, it was a lone ranger. Well, Kelzer, why didn't you say so? I guess we leave Esteban strictly alone, huh? Yeah, we. The lone ranger, boss. All right. The lone ranger's in it. But get this, get it good and get it once because they ain't repeating it. I run this district, savvy. I run it before and I'm runnin' it now. I started out to finish Esteban by fixing him so he couldn't work his land. Now his work's been done by the lone ranger. Kelzer, you can't... Make no difference. No difference at all. There's only one way to settle it. And that's to finish Esteban for good. To get him, savvy. And we're gonna do it. Put that in your packs. Yeah. When, Kelzer? When's it gonna be? I heard the doc say Esteban can get around some already. Yeah, Duke. It's gonna be right now, Blackie. Right tonight. Tito, I want to talk to you about... Esteban, why you walk around this way? The doctor's saying... I let the doctor, my leg is over there. You should better be in bed. Tito, you tell Esteban, huh? These two who work for us, you know them? Eh? Oh, do not look surprised, my pigeon. Before this evening, when I hear shots down the hill, I walk out, I look... Oh, you see them? Yeah, they're one hombre, one of them mask. The other is an Indian, yes. They help plenty, Esteban. I'm not telling you because you worry maybe about the mask, huh? Something has happened to Charlie. He... he... he go away. Oh, for what? Please, Esteban, I do not know. What's wrong? Nothing is wrong, nothing. For why Charlie go? Why you hire these two? They mask one of the Indians. Esteban, I... There's something to do with Kelton, huh? Esteban, please, better you should be in bed. The leg is better, better. Sita, you hide something from Esteban and you... And what is horses? Esteban, no. Oh, are they? I think... No, do not use the gun, they... Hurry, tell them, we must find them. We saw them, mask one of the Indians. They've got guns. Speak quick, why you out the rancho? Your leg is better. Why you here? You won't need that gun now, Esteban. There's no time to explain. You're about to be attacked. I don't know about the... Attack? Who... who attacked my rancho? Tell them, I just came from Split Rock. Any minute now, we'll attack your rancho. Oh, who will do the... You've got gun. You put out lights and...  Go through the rancho. Put out the lights and cover the back. Come to do it. This is a mystery to me. You do not explain why I... Esteban, you'll have to trust me as your wife is done. I tell you, unless we barricade and prepare, there may be nothing left of you, rancho, but ashes. Esteban, he is right. You must not let such a one as Kel to do... Sure, it is Kel. I did not mean to say it. Kel to that one. The talk we make about Kel to fix him to get this broken leg, that was true, huh? Please, Esteban. Quiet, both of you. Sita, this, I cannot... Esteban, be silent. Listen. They come for the attack. No, no, it's only one horse. Get back out of the land of the doorway. I'll see who it is. Esteban, hey, Esteban, I've come to... This way, friend, and keep your hands high. Oh, Cuba. Well, look, Mr. I know who you are. And I just come to warn Esteban. I was in town and heard Kelton and his men talking. Hey, what, sir, thank you. We have already heard. There was no time to get help for you. Kelton's right behind me. I thought you and the rest were afraid of Kelton. What for? Well, he was, Mr. But when I tell him that the loan rangers helping Esteban, they'll come rallying around like buffalo around a salt lake. You can bet on... The loan ranger? Who is this loan ranger? Huh? We have heard of the loan ranger, but... This year's the loan ranger, Esteban. This fellow wearing the mask, standing right here. See? So you're here. Who is this? His friend. Oh, good. Who I am doesn't matter, especially now. It's up to us to fight them off. They come. What is it, Tando? They come. We get ready. Kimosabe, Tando, here, horse. Many horse. Kelton, eh? What for? Yeah, Mr. There's still time. I want you to leave... No, wait, I can't. Get your horse and leave. We'll be able to hold out against Kelton without you. I want you to round up the honest people in town. Kelton's had his way long enough. Can you do that? Sure, can, Mr. Soon as I tell him you're the loan ranger, they'll be... You'll hurry, not much time. Right, engine. I'm Van Moos and Pronto. Esteban, your leg's all right. Well, I'll fix Kelton. You'll guard this side of the house. Tando will cover the rear. I'll take the other side and... What do I do, Mr. You'll make sure the rifles are loaded. Let's see. Tando, huh? We'd better get the horses in the house, or stray bullets won't get them. Not right. Not right, Kimosabe. Here, Silver. Here, old boy. Here, Silver. Come on, Silver, in the door.  Bring him in. Here, Skels. Down. Bring him this way. Get him back. Close that door, Esteban. See, the door's just closed. They come. They shoot. Yes, that's Kelton all right. Get set, Tando. Esteban, we have a fight on our hands. I pick Helter back for what he do. Time for that after we drive them off. Take your posts, and don't worry. We'll send them back the way they came. Hey, Kelton, they ain't going so good. Them fellas now can shoot like they do. It's only you two and the man's man. Yeah, what about Esteban? Esteban's got a bad leg. He pulled a little trigger. Yeah, all I got to say is that. All the boys together, we're going to rush in the house. They're local. Well, I can tell you. Over this way to run them. Kelton, you can't figure them out. Listen here, fellas. Hit your guns, load, and follow me. We're going to rush in. You're the boss, Kelton, but I don't. You're the boss. Anybody got any different IDs? Kelton, suppose we don't get them this time. We will. It's a ten again one. Yeah, but suppose. All right. We'll try this once more. We don't get to them. We'll cut it off. We'll head back for town. Yeah, that's the stuff. Then we can try again later when we can get them by surprise. Good. Right now, we're charging them, Chevy. Now follow me and pull on them. Shoot, let them out of it. They're charging. Over this way, Kimo-Tubby. Come with me, I'm their one man. She's going to stay down. Oh, my husband, I hope. Here's another rifle. Good. Blow this one. It goes back, Kimo-Tubby. Then come pass. Keep it up, Tunnel. If there are only chance to drive them back, keep firing. What is happening out there, ma'am? He's what? What is in the man who come to help us? That's him, it's Watress. He's brought the townspeople. Help Shelby, get up, old boy. Where are we going, Kimo-Tubby? We're going out to help Watress.  Hello? Watress, please help to handle those men. Get them up, get them up, get them up. We surrender. Get on up, sir. Yeah, mister, we got them. Port it all of them, accept and kill them. Tell them to get away, Watress. And we're so doggone dark. Do you think we ought to string up these ombries? You can do it right here in Esteban's olive trees No, there'll be no hanging. That's right. No hanging, but mister, you said... Watress, you represent the honest people. Well, these men are going to be tried honestly in a court. You have a jail, haven't you? Yeah, Max, man, you're right. We got to do things legally. If you want to get killed, you'll be back to town. We'll get them, if it didn't skedaddle already. Now take these year crooks out of here. We got to get moving. You came at the right time, Watress. These men will never run... Watress, Max, man! What's the matter? What is it, ma'am? He's my husband, my Esteban. He's gone. Huh, steady? What do you mean, he's gone? Where? Please, you must help him.  He's gone. He took the horse. Oh, not bad. Wait, you mean he's gone after Kelter? See, see, yes, Watress. Now he know how bad this Kelter is. My Esteban, he's got a temper. He take gone, take horse, he go after Kelter. But him got bad legs. Still he'll go. I see his eyes when he'll on Kelter fixedeer to fall on him. He's much man. He may be killed. How long ago did your husband leave? He's not there. Maybe 10 minutes or no finding. He'll get killed. With that lame leg, he won't stand a chance against Kelter. We got to head for town. Yes, we must hurry. Esteban takes fast horse. If Esteban have bad leg, maybe Kelter kill him. Oh, no. Watress, tunnel, now go ahead. Kelter must not kill Esteban, but neither must Esteban take the law into his own hands. He'll never make it in time, mister. Not if Esteban left 10 minutes ago. We'll try. Come on, tunnel. Come on, tunnel. Get him up, scoundrel. Give anything up into my husband. Save them tears, ma'am. There ain't time. We got to get moving. Get away. Kill him. Then cannot reach him in time. Why, he wouldn't count on that. Look at them horses. Cover ground. Got the wisdom being in me. I'm making tracks out of here. Now here's my goal. And let's pray again. Put it somewhere on the floor. The bar's outside, so I'm ready to travel. Better pick up some of these bullets, help me. What's that? Ain't nobody here but me. It sounds like somebody with a game league coming here to this room. Esteban! I come for you, Kelter. But you couldn't travel your leg, is it? My leg is better. It's not so good I have to go slow on the horse. But it's better enough to come here.  Oh, wait a minute. All the time I think everybody friend to Esteban. Everybody good. Nobody do bad things. Listen up. No, I listen too much already. You are no good, Kelter. I think everybody in this big country is good. But there are bad ones every place. You reach for your gun. Esteban, yep. We're finished now. One sin for always. I count three. You don't draw your gun, then I shoot. Understand? But you can't. Got time for talk. One, two. You hombre, you reach. No. Then I say, please. Oh, buddies, you do not shoot. I did, Esteban. I shot the gun from your hand. Now, the mask, man. For why you do this? Don't move, Kelter. I'll take those guns. Why you do this? Because what you were planning to do isn't right, Esteban. Kelter is all you called him. But in this country, he'll stand trial. You understand that, don't you? I don't. See, yes, yes, I understand. I go low-co for a little bit, but now I understand. Good. The waters and the others will be here soon. Can I count on you to guard Kelter until they come? Oh, I guard him. See, I give you my word. Here's your gun, then. Adios. Oh, adios. Buen. You are fortunate, Kelter. I did not bring for the mask, man. You'll be dead now. Maybe go, Esteban, help me. You'll be quiet. This is a good country, Esteban, like it.  So we wait for others to come, then you have your trial. This is free country. It is law for every man. Esteban, believe in this country. I'll settle my highway.

Hello, I am Dr. Abhishek, Consultant Intervention Cardiology at Manipal Hospital, Gazebad. Today I'd like to increase your awareness about myocardial infarction, which is also known as heart attack in common language. As we all know, it is a very serious and a life-threatening situation and a delay in treatment can increase the chances of adverse outcome in these patients. Heart attack happens because of sudden occlusion of blood flow to arteries which supply blood to heart puzzles. Most common symptom of heart attack is chest pain. But contrary to the common belief, heart attack can happen even without chest pain also. Most common symptom of heart attack is chest pain, but contrary to the common belief, it can happen without any chest pain, especially in elderly patients and in diabetic patients. Other symptoms of heart attack are shortness of breath, sweating, ghabrahat, and chest heaviness.  In case if you are having a doubt that I am having a heart attack, when in doubt, don't waste time in home remedies during chest pain because it will unnecessarily delay the required treatment and will increase the risk to life. In such a situation, early and timely treatment is a key to successful and good outcomes. So, reach the nearest medical facility as soon as possible. Thank you.


Thank you for getting up bright and early on Sunday morning. This is a bonus presentation that was unplanned before the event, but during the event we definitely very quickly considered it and decided it was a good idea. So I will be happy to introduce and just second, Jolly, who is a now three-year photographer for the event. And by far the most fascinating photographer we've ever had at the event, as if we've had a million, but it truly a unique person is going to be speaking next. Everybody who meets him at the event, hundreds of people now, speakers and attendees and staff alike are always just seriously intrigued with Jolly. The guy just comes as a photographer but he has so much more going on behind the scenes. And when you talk to him, it's very apparent. And with that said, today he'll be discussing a very specific topic, intermittent fasting, so I'm not mistaken. You're very fast. Yes, so I'm not mistaken. For those of you who don't know what that is, he's going to tell you. It's going to be great speech, nice little bonus, and I appreciate you guys coming out. So here's Jolly. Thank you. Thank you. Hi guys, I'm Jolly. And most of you may know me as simply a photographer.  Last year, I went to no fewer than 26 conferences. Usually I'm pretty easy to recognize. I'm lugging around a big camera. I've got the turban, usually crazy, vibrant five finger shoes. But the thing is, I do a lot more than just photography. You see, this may be a surprise to some of you, but I'm a hacker. I mean that in every sense of the word. I don't mean that just in the sense of me being a computer hacker. Although I am that too. When I say I'm a hacker, I mean I hack everything. I'm a computer hacker. That's my day job. I'm a computer security expert. I'm a bio hacker. I sit there and understand biochemistry, understand neurochemistry, understand how it all ends up coming and playing together. I'm a sleep hacker, frankly, because I want to optimize everything. So when I'm looking to sleep, I'm trying to figure out exactly that. How do I get the most results with the least amount of effort possible? I'm a travel hacker. I'm a nomad. I've been homeless for the last six months. Now don't feel sorry for me. When I say I'm homeless, I mean good homeless. I'm the sort of homeless that jumps on a plane every couple of days and decides, hey, it's Tuesday. What city do I want to be in? I'm a finance hacker. I sit there and try to maximize the percentages, my return on investment, and everything. And that's not just finances. Applies the same when we're talking about diet, nutrition, about what goes into the body. I mean, let's put it this way. My phone number is 1-814-HACK-The-Planet. And to me what being a hacker is, it means taking a look at a system, understanding it systematically, looking at it inside and out, looking at diet going, all right, what can I control? What do I put into my body? How does that impact the results? And then figure out what results do I want to get? And then pretty much making that system, making the world do my bidding. That's how I approach pretty much everything. But now let me tell you a little bit of a story. Let me tell you about a little younger, little or jolly, back when I was about 15 or so. And I had some significant advantages. You see, I grew up in a world with a family that was very interested in health and nutrition. My family owns two GNC stores, general nutrition centers. My mom has a master's in nutrition. So I got access to a lot of cool supplements and a lot of cool knowledge that a lot of people didn't have. And I sat there and went, all right, let me think about this. I'm already smarter than most of the people around me. If I learn how to learn even faster, whoa, I can go take over the world. It's fantastic. So I started digging down into cognitive enhancement. How do I get smarter? How do I learn even faster? But then I quickly realized a lot of the things I was looking at that helped me to improve my intelligence, to enhance me there were also things that helped stop or help battle aging. And then I went and sat and thought about it.   And then I started researching that and digging down into it. And when I started doing it, one of the first things we started looking at was the diet side of things. And when you look in anti-aging, there's this great idea of this concept of caloric restriction. Fancy words, simply it means, well, guess what, you eat less. But the thing is when you look at the studies, caloric restriction is the one form of life extension that's been proven to work across pretty much all mammal groups. Simply when you end up reducing the amount of calories animals take in, they live longer. Their mean life span ends up increasing. And it's fantastic, it's pretty much the gold standard longevity. And a lot of the supplements people talk about from an aging perspective end up impacting or working because they're caloric restriction mimetics. But the question is, you have to consider, what's your goals?  But I don't wanna just live longer. I don't wanna grow older and be decrepit and sit there and feel old and miserable because that would not be so much fun. And caloric restriction has to be very downsides. See, the problem with caloric restriction is a number of things. You lose your energy. You lose your internal basal temperature. You start feeling colder. Start feeling more miserable.   And after a certain point, you start looking and going, well, I get to live a lot longer, but I'm not sure I like the life that I end up living. And our thing is it's pretty hard to do. I mean, think about it. You see time and time again.  So what advice do you get? Move more, exercise more and eat less. Sounds great in concept, but in practice it ends up being pretty hard to do. And I'm a hacker. I want things to be easy. I want the most results for the least amount of effort. So this brings us to this concept called airman fasting, where you get almost all of the gain for a lot less pain.  I want the most results. I want the least effort. Yes, I cheat and I'm damn proud of it. So looking at airman fasting, it sounds fancy, but again, the concept at heart is really simple. Don't eat. Now I'm not saying don't eat all the time.  But what we end up doing is what's called restricting the feeding window. So normally, what do we do these days? We wake up in the morning. We have our bagels and fruit. Couple hours later, we're having our breakfast or lunch. If you guys are bodybuilders, you're downing protein shakes all the time. And believe me, I work at GNC. I've owned those stores. I've sold a lot of protein and mural replacement shakes because you know, you have to be eating six meals a day, eight meals a day because if you stop eating for, you know, an hour and a half, you're going to lose protein mass and muscle mass. Truth is you don't have to do all of that. We end up restricting the feeding window. Depending on who you talk to, you restrict the feeding window and fast for say anywhere between 16 and 36 hours. And depending on how long you're fasting, depends on what your goals are. Are you looking at more from a longevity standpoint like myself? Or is your goals more alongside of the, hey, I just want to look better naked? But so let's think about it. Why might this work? The thing is with our modern diets, with eating constantly, what happens is we're constantly in this growth mode. We're pretty much in an anabolic state. But the thing is we weren't evolved in such an environment. We weren't involved to be in a state where we're constantly eating and having those growth signals every day pretty much throughout our waking period. We were designed to alternate this and to have states of catabolism when your body starts repairing, breaking things down.  But let's start looking at some of the evidence for intermittent fasting. There is some pretty decent evidence out there. Predominantly, we've got a decent amount of animal studies throughout a lifespan, particularly in the mean lifespan. And the interesting thing here is some people go that, oh, the benefits from intermittent fasting are just caloric restriction. In other words, all the benefits come from people eating less. It's not true. The studies indicating that they get some of the benefits even if ultimately they end up eating the same amount of calories, changing that window, changing when you eat those calories, that window of time makes a huge difference. But we also have human studies. Let's think back to Madrid. The year is 1956 and you're in the best environment possible. Guess what? You're in a retirement home. Sounds fantastic. But in this case, they had some smart researchers around. So they wanted to see what's some of the benefits. And they didn't even do a full, what I'd call full intermittent fasting. They did a modified study. So normally they ended up giving all these old people 1600 calories a day. But they changed things up a little. They switched it so you had, some people were then eating 900 calories one day and 2300 calories the next day. The study lasted for three years. And what happened? Well, in the standard group, the one that was just eating the same amount each and every day, a lot of them died, 13 of them died. They stayed an average of 219 days in the hospital. But the other group, just by changing that timing and how many calories saved one day versus the other only stayed in the hospital 123 days. And he had six versus 13 deaths. I had the opportunity to be at the personalized life extension conference three years ago. One of my friends, a speaker there, Patrick Friedman was also talking about Irmin fasting. And he said, hey guys, let me ask you, what's your favorite theory of aging? Are we talking inflammation? We're talking free radicals, insulin sensitivity, no matter what your favorite theory of aging is, intermittent fasting helps with that. And it seems true, whether we look at the markers on inflammation like the TNF alpha scores, if we look at the amount of free radicals that are being created, the amount of oxidative stress, fancy terms, but simply it means pretty much when we look at the biomarkers, scholar Tanner was talking about this yesterday, intermittent fasting helps in all those. We look at things like, say, HDL measurements, you're good cholesterol, HDL ends up improving with intermittent fasting. Look at stuff with triglycerides, three weeks of intermittent fasting, on men, the triglycerides plummeted. A lot of benefits for not that much work. Same thing when we start looking at CERT-1 receptors. Let me just add Pylon, he wrote eat, stop, eat. He says that if intermittent fasting was a pill, then seller would make a billion dollars and win a Nobel Prize. And frankly, it's just that good. So why don't we hear about it? Well, a lot of times let's think about it. How much money can I make selling you guys this magic, wonderful concept that guess what, you don't have to eat as often? On the other hand, if I tell you, and I sell you on the story, that well, guess what, you need to be eating every couple of hours or otherwise you're gonna lose muscle mass, I get to sell you all sorts of stuff. I get to sell you meal replacement powders, get to sell you protein, I get to sell you little boxes to carry your food in in your lean protein and chicken breast. And the thing is it's not just from an anti-aging perspective because I'll admit, that's my bias, but it's fantastic from the body composition standpoint. Airman fasting, particularly when he's starting the diet dial down a little, is one of the best ways to really shred your body for that extra bit of fat loss. We heard it yesterday, abs are not built in the gym, abs are built in the kitchen, and it's particularly true. So let's talk a little bit about some more of the details. How do you get started? Some of the regimens. The two that I hear about the most are the eat, stop, eat protocol and Martin Burkham and Lean Gaines. Eat, stop, eat, it's pretty simple.  He's usually advocating about a 24 hour period and that doesn't mean that you wake up in the morning and don't eat all day.  That's now 24 hours of not eating. Lean Gaines ends up advocating more of a 16 hour fasting window and eight hours of feeding. The difference really starts being a question of what your goals are. In case your goals are predominantly like, hey, I wanna build more muscle and bulk up, let's say more of a shorter feeding window like a Lean Gaines protocol would work out great. If you're looking more from an anti-aging perspective, I'd advocate up to about 36 hours, so a day and a half of not eating. So how do we get started? We've heard other speakers mention diet briefly. I end up telling people low carb paleo. Let me repeat that again. It's low carb paleo style diet and that low carb is really important and here's why. The thing is, if you don't end up eating low carb, let's take a look at what would happen in your body when you end up eating a meal.  Ultimately, your body wants to maintain pretty tight control over glucose levels. So it ends up releasing a hormone called insulin, which starts taking this glucose, starts trying to store it. It's basically a storage and growth hormone. So it takes this glucose, zooming your muscle glycogen stores aren't completed, you didn't just work out and starts trying to store it. So now your insulin levels are raised. Guess what?  It doesn't have any way to do that. So what happens?  Don't do it that way. This is why I end up advocating a low carb approach. When you end up eating low carb enough, your body's mostly staying in a state of ketosis. In essence, your body's burning fat for its energy, not for carbohydrates. And now it means you can go so much longer without eating because your body's using what it should be using for its energy sources. It's fat. Think about it in an ancestral environment. It'd be ludicrous to think that we needed to eat every couple hours because we've got to McDonald's in every Savannah corner. That just wouldn't end up happening. And personally, I start just looking at it from this combination. I look at it from the biochem, like okay, here's how it plays out on the glugos levels. I look at it from the ancestral environment just thinking that naturally, if we think about it, we weren't involved to be eating constantly. We'd have times where we were hungry, times when we were not. And then I just look at it as, frankly, what works. And the thing is for me, it makes my life so much easier. I tell people that my secret superpower is I can go a day and a half without eating. And it makes my travel life just that much easier. It means I land in a city, I don't have to be rushing going, okay, I need food right now. I've got bad meal choices. Guess what? That's fine. I don't have to eat them. I wait until I've got something good to eat. People say, but that hunger's hard. One, if you're eating lower carb, it makes it a lot easier. And two, the studies show that after about four weeks of starting to airman fasting, your baseline hunger levels drop significantly. In other words, you get used to it. And not you get used to it because you're used to dealing with the hunger, but frankly, your hunger levels go down. Your body starts adapting because that's how it's supposed to do. It adapts to what you feed it. It adapts to the world around it. Same thing you hear people talking about, but I need my protein shake and my pre-workout supplement and my creatine and my beta alanine and my nitrous oxide and whatever the latest sports nutrition supplement is out there, because otherwise I can't work out. Now, once again, let's think about this.   Let's just think about that logic, bro. Doesn't make sense. Let's now talk a little bit about some modifications. One guy knows, talks about this protocol, IFOC.  Now, I will admit, I personally don't advocate this method. I'm a biohacker. I want the most results. I want to optimize everything.  Modified intermittent fasting. We heard Dave Asprey, or he will be speaking later today, Dave, bulletproof executive, great friend of mine. He talks about a protocol called bulletproof intermittent fasting. His protocol's fairly simple. You eat dinner by 8 p.m., you wake up in the morning, you have coffee, but not just standard coffee. Take coffee, you blend a ton of butter in there, a little bit of MCT oil. MCT oil, it's medium chain triglycerides. People will say you can use coconut oil. No, use MCT oil. There's reasons behind that. Blend it. Blending is very important. And people look at me sometimes, it's crazy. I love doing this. Like, I'll work at Wall Street a lot. You'll see me a little shaker cup, making coffee, pudding, 14 ounces of coffee, seven tablespoons, not teaspoons. Tablespoons of butter in there, a little bit of MCT oil, blending it up. People are like, you're gonna get fat. I've got an APAC, bro. I don't think I have to worry about this. You're gonna get heart disease. I run my blood work all the time. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Blend it all up. That's about 9,000 calories right there. Keep going. Don't eat until 2 p.m. Then eat for about a six hour feeding window. One of the really, really cool bio hacks when you start delving down into this is, so there's this process called autophagy. It's basically when your body starts repairing and recovering. But the thing is autophagy stops when you start getting nutrients in. Because it's simple. I don't need to scavenge my body for waste products and use those to build. One I can actually just take in the food that's coming in. But the thing is, what stops autophagy for the most part seems to be carbohydrates and protein. Fat, for whatever reason, don't know why, doesn't seem to stop the process of autophagy.  You can wake up in the morning, you can have fat throughout the day, get pretty much all the benefits for airman fasting without actually having to fast. And this particularly works great for the women out there. Because if you think about it, women, well, they were designed a lot of ways. They're the reproductive hosts. So they don't handle that same level of stress as men. Men, we're pretty much evolutions play things. If we lose a lot of us, it's frankly not gonna matter all that much. So the stress ends up impacting women a lot more.  Another friend of mine, Josh Wheaton, he talked at the same personalized life extension conference, which I highly recommend just a couple months ago. His process is basically eating five days a week. He eats pretty low carbohydrate. Two days a week, he eats really low protein. And every day, he eats high fat. Same sort of thing, you get most of the benefits. Now personally, I tend to advocate just doing pretty much strict airman fasting or airman fasting plus fat. So a little bit more about some bonuses. I mentioned the coffee plus butter plus MCT oil. But you ask why? So here's the thing. There's this pathway called mTOR. It's mammalian targeted rapamycin. And all you science and anti-aging geeks are starting to light up in the audience. And yeah, I get fascinated by it too. But there's a couple of things that really hit that mTOR pathway. Some of the stuff we've heard about it before. Yesterday, we heard Skyler talk about lifting heavy things hits mTOR. It'll remain fasting hits mTOR. Coffee hits mTOR. So what we're talking is synergy. You get all these different things together that in the end, you get a lot more of the benefits. And why MCT oil? That medium chain triglycerides, it's basically a source of ketone bodies. Straight source, your body can't store that. It pretty much has to burn it or let it go. So what it means is your body can stain this process of ketosis even longer, even in the process or even in the environment when you still have a little bit more carbohydrates. It's fantastic. So let me tie the salt in together. Airman fasting, simply you're reducing your feeding window. So you have time to run your eating and run your not. But it works best in conjunction with other things. I posted this on Twitter a little while ago. Fantastic. Jolly's guide is six pack abs and 140 characters. The prescription's pretty simple. Do a low carb and low carb is very important, paleo style diet. I'm a big fan of the bull proof exact type of diet. Why you keep those carbohydrate levels low while minimizing some of the toxins and poisons and other things that we end up eating a lot of times. Plus Airman fasting. Pretty self explanatory by now. Lift heavy things. And I don't mean that you go to a gym and lift those two or 10 pound dumbbells because you think you're lifting weights. I mean lift heavy things.  Sprinting, high intensity interval training. Look at doing something like Tabitha Sprints. From shredding fat loss, the Tabitha Sprints, those high intensity interval trainings plus low carb plus Airman fasting, some of the most useful protocols I've seen.  It's a prescription. But it's a biohackers prescription. It's how to get the most amount of results with the least amount of effort. Any questions? Go for it. Great presentation, speech. My one question was about the last part. As far as when you work out, would you still include the coffee or just the MCT oil and butter? So I would definitely include the coffee. As I was saying, part of it, it's the mTOR pathways. What I didn't really get into is mTOR. I tend to care about it more from an aging perspective but also has benefits from a muscle gaining perspective. Again, I do the coffee in the morning. You want that MCT oil, you want that butter. Dave might talk about it tomorrow but butter also has some really nice aspects with the butyric acid. So definitely combine the two. And again, stimulants do end up helping significantly from a workout perspective. And I would also end up advocating creatine is probably like the most researched sports supplement out there. You don't need anything fancy. You don't necessarily need a crazy pre-workout mix but straight creatine monohydrate. It's great from a lean body mass perspective. A jolly killer presentation. I wanted to toss you a bag of upgraded coffee as a way of saying thanks. Another bag to go in my supply. There's something I actually wanted to point out for all of you. Do you notice the quality of his presentation? I counted ums. There were three ums.   He uses coffee and he uses smart drugs and he's done other work like that as well. That's the sort of stuff you're going to hear about later today.  So if you want to do that Toastmasters kind of thing, turn your brain on so you can think and talk at the same time like Jolly just did. That was a pretty awesome talk. I'd like to mention one thing there. So I will say one thing there. This is actually the first time I've given this presentation. I wrote it in approximately the last 30, 45 minutes when I woke up. I haven't presented at all. This was my first run through. And Dave's completely right. The reason I can do that is I've sat there and optimized every aspect of my life. Sat there and optimized the diet, optimized the nutrition, optimized the supplementation. So that way I can pretty much do whatever life throws at me. Asked to give a presentation. All right, no problem. I'm all on that. So I just had a quick question. I have an interesting problem.  I love eating out. I eat out with friends for almost breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have the finances to support it. But in the past, there's been a run where I ate heavy on meats, things like barbecue joints with no additions to the meat, just dry rub. What are some other ideas for me about where can I go to get as, I guess, primal as possible? That's a great question. And it's something I run into all the time. As I said, I'm a nomad. So far this year, I've racked up probably 90,000 miles. Literally, I'm in a new city every couple of days. And there's some things you can do. Again, airman fasting makes it a lot easier because you don't have to be eating every couple of hours. So it's not like, OK, I've only got crappy McDonald's joints. Some other things I end up doing is I travel with a little BPA-free container of Kerrygold butter. I do Kerrygold unsalted kind because one Kerrygold is grass-fed, which is fantastic. Plus, the unsalted version is cultured, which ends up increasing the amount of butyric acid in there. Again, more benefits. I travel with a little go-tube container of MCT oil. And I pick the best options I have possible. If you're living that lifestyle, you're traveling. You don't have the best choices. You do end up having to pick and choose. So when I'm out, I'm often asking for meat. I'm asking for fish, especially when I can find it. I didn't get into this. But from a diet aging perspective, you want to look into your omega-3, omega-6 fatty acid ratio. Pretty much all my diet's targeting towards keeping insulin and glucose levels down or keeping chronic inflammation down. So because of that, I end up eating a lot of fish, eat larger meals. Because you end up still having to get those calories in. It's just that I'm compressing the amount of time I'm eating. And you end up looking at things that make cooking a lot easier. I'll sous-vise a lot of meat if I'm living in one spot. I will also end up just cooking a ton of stuff at once and then just eating it the next couple of days. Again, doing the bulletproof coffee thing will end up increasing because right there, I'm eating 1,000 calories. And that's, again, pretty easy to travel with. And I can talk more about it offline or if you've got questions, just ping me. Did you have a question? Yeah, sorry. I just want to see if you had any advice for the transition period getting into intermittent fasting when you still get the cravings and the hunger? Because I know when I'm really hungry, I can't concentrate. Oh, definitely. It makes perfect sense. That's why I said, I don't say just, hey, you immediately hear my presentation. You think it's fantastic. And immediately go jump in and stop eating because, think about it, if you told your coworkers to do that, they may get pretty mad and may not be so good for a stress perspective. That's why I highly advocate starting off with a low carb paleo, bulletproof executive, et cetera, style diet. What you're doing is you're taking some time first to transition your body from eating what it's used to to eating lower carbohydrate so your body is used to using its fat sources as an energy source. Once you get that, then you can start putting in that intermittent fasting, putting in that modified intermittent fasting, because face it, you've been eating probably all of your life this way. You don't wanna just change that overnight. You'll end up sliding back. You'll start feeling miserable. The other thing that keep in mind is it does get better. That's why I said I've looked into the research after a couple of weeks of intermittent fasting, your hunger levels go significantly down towards your baseline. Because the thing is, most of us are not used to being hungry. Most of us, we're lucky. We live in a Western world. We can get food pretty much whenever we want it. What we call as hunger, isn't hunger at all. Part of it is just frankly getting used to it, manning up. Just with the intermittent fasting protocols, do you stick to one protocol or do you shift? So like some days you'll be like on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I don't eat breakfast. Are you flexible with that or do you have a strict protocol that you follow consistently throughout the year? So I'm personally pretty variable with that. And a lot of it is looking at my life. Part of why I end up doing intermittent fasting and everything is to make my life easier so that way I can deal with what gets thrown at me. I work as a computer security professional. I'm a consultant. So a lot of times it's oh, we're going out for lunch. They're paying for it. Fantastic, it's Italian. Guess what?  So that's great, it's a fast meal. Same thing, I'm traveling. I've got a bunch of plane rides in a row. Hey, I may be sitting in first class. They may give me some great meals, but guess what?  So I don't. So I tend to be personally pretty variable. If I had more of a steady static life, then yeah, I'd probably program it in a little bit better. I do end up tracking a lot of data about myself. I'm a quantified self-nerd. The more data I have, the better. I've got a zero and a Fitbit and Dave will talk a lot more about those sorts of things that you could use if you wanted to program it in. But me personally, I'm very variable because hunter-gatherer environment, you never know what might life be throwing at you. Deal with it, adapt to it. Did we have any? Hey, great presentation.  Now, I know you were talking about research, but I wanted to ask, the research was over what period of time with regards to the health and to your blood health and whatnot, because I would assume... Are you asking for me personally or the studies that I've seen out there? Or studies you've seen. And the reason I'm asking is like, you could be taking a lot of fat and you might not see the blockage to your arteries or whatever over a short amount of time, but what happens over the long run? Has there been any research? I'll admit, there's not that many studies out there in scientific published research, and I'm caveatting that pretty closely, for intermittent fasting. The studies that we see are far more on things like calic restriction, but what we indicate is, and this is why I said that IFOC is, it doesn't really matter what you're eating from that perspective, as long as you're doing that intermittent fasting and the calic restriction. I can say I've tracked my own data a number of years, and this is now getting away from the intermittent fasting component and the diet and nutrition component of it. And looking at it, doing things like a low carb paleo, particularly when you're combining that plus lifting heavy stuff, what you see is your HDL numbers, skyrocket, your triglycerides end up plummeting, and it seems to have pretty positive impacts, like things like, so I track what's called a high sensitivity C-reactive protein, it's a measure of inflammation. Mine last time I checked was too low to be measured. That's with the crazy diet and stuff that I end up eating. There's an infographic on bulletproofexec.com that talks about butter research like that, but the best research of all is the human race.   So the idea that somehow we're supposed to not do that, and he was giving himself heart disease, isn't borne out because people who eat more fat tend to be higher performer, they reproduce better, and the whole ancestral health movement shows us that eating more fat makes you healthier, not unhealthy, as long as it's naturally occurring healthy fat, not this canola synthetic junk. It's really fascinating if you're asking that question to dig into the history of why we believe fat is bad for us, and this is a really modern view. We've only had this since about the 1930s, 1940s, you had Ancel Keys, and basically with that, we started getting this whole fat phobia. Before that, it was well known that, hey, in case you wanted to put on a lot of fat, you'd feed the same thing with feed cattle. You'd give them a lot of grains, a lot of carbohydrates, but if you wanted to lose weight, there's tons of basically meat diets at that time, where you ate meat, you lost fat, you gained muscle mass, and there's some couple good books about it. Gary Chobbs has a book, Good Calories, Bad Calories. It's literally like a tombot information. It's one of the few books in my life I've ever taken notes on. If you're fascinated between the biochemistry and the history of it, he's a former writer for science, goes into great detail. He has another book that's a little bit more accessible to the masses about the history entitled Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It. And again, ping me, I've got a whole bunch of links. You can find me on Twitter. I'm Jolly on Twitter. My website's A Jolly Life, and I don't publish quite enough things on there. Do we have time for more questions or? Okay, wrapping it up, again, I'd like to give some thanks to my Dave Asprey, Bulletproof Executive. Dave's got pretty much all the same information, same sort of things that I think about. Josh Whedon, again, the Whedon Protocol. Patrick Friedman, he spoke at the Personalized Life Extension Conference. Also, Martin Birkin, Lean Gaines. He's popularized intermittent fasting, particularly among the bodybuilder set, more than anyone else. And also the IF Life is pretty good. And I think John Bacardi just published a really good PDF on this, but I haven't had time to read it. So go check out those resources, or again, ping me if you've got any questions, and I'll be around for the rest of the day. What's your website? Ajollylife.com. A, A. The letter A, Jolly, J-O-L-L-Y, life, L-I-F-E, dot com. Cause you know, life's a lot better when you're having fun.


Patriot Prime Reviews is a channel for adult collectors and may not be suitable for children under 13 years of age. Viewer discretion is advised. Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another Transformers review. But before I start talking about the featured bot of this review, I need you guys to do me a favor. If you're watching this video right here and have not subscribed to Patriot Prime Reviews, please hit that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. Now, on to the bot. The figure I'm going to go over in this review is the 30th anniversary brainstorm figure. This figure was a gift to me by friend of the channel, Rick Legaspi. He actually tracked me down in the TF Con dealer room, introduced himself and gave this figure to me a Cyberverse Optimus Prime and I guess it was a Cyberverse Bumblebee to my son Dylan. Just out of the blue wanted to donate something to the channel. So Rick, thank you very much for this figure. This is one that I did not have in the collection and he's a really cool looking bot. So without further ado, let's take a closer look at it and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Brainstorm's alt mode is that of a very sleek and stylized starfighter and this thing looks amazing. I love the looks of this vehicle. I mean, it's got minimal paint applications, but what it does have really, really works. You've got silver here on the weapons, silver here on the side. There's silver here on the vents. More vents here, a little red up top, tampographed Autobot insignias on both wings. On the back of the vehicle, you've got molded in thrusters and there on the bottom right there where the robot's feet will be. A lot of nice details on this figure. Now right here, he does have a transparent cockpit that can open and underneath he does have retractable landing gear. So let's go ahead and pop the cockpit open and we'll take a look at his headmaster partner, Arcana. And from what I understand with this 30th anniversary brainstorm figure, this guy wasn't named, but the figure in G1 was Arcana. So we're going to call him that. Now this was one of the first headmasters to be produced by Hasbro since the 80s. And he's got fairly decent articulation. The head is on a ball joint, can move all the way around, little bit of wiggle room there. Legs up and he has a slight knee bend. Of course the legs are fused together. Now I'm not a big fan of the arms. The arms are all on this big panel. You can see the arms molded on the inside, but I'm really not digging the looks of that. Now it really works when he transforms into a head, which just like the original headmasters, you just fold him in half. And there you go. But unlike the original headmasters, there's no flap that covers up the robot face when he's in headmaster mode. So there is Arcana. Very nice looking head sculpt. The yellow eyes do kind of blend in with the orange faceplate. But other than that, great molded detail. Now let's go ahead and get brainstormed, transformed into robot mode. Let's go ahead and shut the cockpit. Next thing you're going to do is fold the landing gear up. Untab these sections right here, which will be the robot arms. Untab and unfold. Do that on both sides. There's a little flap right here. Open that up and get the fists out. There's one and the other. There's a nice little tab right there. You can catch with your thumbnail and pop the fist right out. Now what you're going to do is take the front of the starship and unpig that. Open these flaps up and now you're going to bring the legs around just like so. Take this flap, bring it up along the back of the robot and it's going to peg into that hole right there. So let's go ahead and get the camera positioned. Oops, let's flip the feet out first. He has got some big feet. So let me get this camera in position. Now from here you're going to take what was the tail fins of the Starfighter and just press back fully against the arms. Remove the blasters from the back of the spaceship. These will actually form weapons for the robot. They just peg in right there to the nose cone with those pegs on the blaster.  We're going to put the head in and when you put the head in, it activates a tech spec reader inside the chest. Hopefully it'll work. There we go. Do you see that pop up? It gives the speed, strength and intelligence just like the old generation one toy.  One blaster in the right hand and another blaster in the left. And now we have brainstorm all armed and ready for battle. Just like spaceship mode, robot mode is sleek and stylized. He is definitely based on the IDW artwork. He is a really cool looking figure. Love that head sculpt. The body just works kind of weird with that big empty canopy on his chest, but it works. It's not too bad at all. I've got these big wings up here on the shoulders. You can fold these back if you want to kind of not make them so tall, but I kind of give them a slight angle like that. Now as far as articulation goes, arms can do a complete 360. They can go up, down. There is a rotation at the elbow and there is an elbow bend. No wrist rotation. Legs up, down, all around. Nice ratchets there on the hips. He's got a knee bend, a thigh rotation and just a very little bit of ankle tilt. So yeah, there we have brainstorm in robot mode and I really like the looks of this guy. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 2014's 30th anniversary brainstorm with generation one Optimus Prime, Titan's Return brainstorm and War for Cybertron Siege Voyager Class Springer. Yes, there's a big difference between 2014's Voyager Class and 2019's. 2014's 30th anniversary brainstorm is a very unique looking bot. He's sleek, he's sexy and he's definitely a presence on your shelf because of his stylized look. If you're a fan of the IDW comics, brainstorm hits the mark. He looks like he stepped right out of the pages of the IDW series. The Headmaster gimmick, it works really well for this figure and it's nice to see the Headmasters back in modern times, but I really don't like the looks of brainstorm's Headmaster Arcana. Not a big fan of those panel arms. So there you go guys, 2014's 30th anniversary brainstorm. So, does the 30th anniversary brainstorm belong in your collection? Well, that depends. Are you an IDW fan? Are you a brainstorm fan? If so, by all means, this is a great figure. Really cool transformation, really cool Headmaster gimmick and by God, that's the size a Voyager figure should be. Very solid made. I mean, this is a great figure. Now, I'm more of a G1er. I like the blocky styles to my robot, but this is not bad at all. And I want to thank Rick Legaspi one more time for gifting me this figure. I absolutely love it. I think he's great and he's going to look good back there on my shelf. And guys, I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video. Don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe. I've got a lot more bots that I want to get in front of this camera right here, including this guy. I know you're probably disappointed that he wasn't a subject to this review, but I'm still playing with him. Give me a chance. Give me a bit. But I can't wait to get him in front of the camera. He is a really cool figure. Guys, once again, I appreciate each and every one of you. This is Patriot Prime, signing out. Hoah!


Well for the second straight season UMD men's hockey is heading back to the frozen four, but one big difference this year. The guy that's been leading them between the pipes, former Grand Rapids goalie and Bulldog sophomore Hunter Shepherd will make his first frozen star frozen four start next week. He's emerged as the team's top net miner, setting single season program record, posting eight shutouts as a point. So in front of me this year, especially the second half and don stretch up and in my job really easy. Let's not kid ourselves. Our goal tending was was been outstanding and Shep Shep solidified our team, gave our team a lot of confidence by playing the way he did. Semifinals a week from today, April 5th. The Bulldogs will take on Ohio State at five and Michigan at Notre Dame will follow both games on ESPN two at the XL Energy Center.
