This is Think Tech Hawaii. The community matters here.  Our show today is called Jill Takuta, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor. And we're going to talk with Jill about her vision and effective leadership. Thinking higher office takes more than just dedication and hard work. So if you want to ask a question or make a comment, you can contact us at thinktechhi or call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Senator Takuta is the representative from Senate District 4, which is... It's the Kanuhi-Kailua area, so Winrid O'ahu where we grew up. And she is running for Lieutenant Governor in the 2018 race. How does she distinguish herself from the other candidates? Well, we'll discuss that and some of her other accomplishments as senators. So, welcome. Thank you. Good to see you. Good to see you. We've worked for years in the past and now when you were chair of education in the Senate. So tell us a little bit about how long have you been in the state Senate? Well, it's been 11 years. It's amazing how quickly time flies, but it's been 11 really great, very humbling years to be with my colleagues in the Senate, chairing everything from, as you mentioned, education, the agriculture and Hawaiian affairs, the last three years as Ways and Means, which gives you an amazing opportunity to see the entire landscape of issues, all of the different departments as well as having to really rein in all the resources of the state and really look at where the priorities should be placed, especially since it comes out of all of our pockets and has to be balanced on the backs of taxpayers, which is a very humbling decision-making process, I assure you. And that really gave me some very interesting, very tough decisions that I had to make as well. Well, was it just about some of those tough decisions? Oh, maybe some of the successes and some of the failures. What have you, in your last 11 years, what do you consider your major accomplishment? You know, that has probably been the toughest thing to do is take a look back at your entire career, if you would say, in the last 11 years and really point back to some of those things that were the highlights and where are those things that you'd really want to continue on?   At the end of the day, the beginning of each morning, I'm a working mom. And so what specifically, what legislative feels past that you were very involved in and feel very proud about? When it comes to education, one of the things that I really recall working very hard on was early learning and putting in place, for example, the framework for our early learning system, because I do believe that making sure that our youngest of Kiki, they have to have the building blocks for success when they start kindergarten. That is so important. It was a huge success for us to put in place that executive office on early learning at the same time while that was a success, putting that together. To me, that was one of the things that we have left on the table, that we have to continue to do more. So when was that, when did that pass? That pass, and that was put into place back in the beginning of 2012. It was a series of years when we really took a look at putting that office into place and rolling out continued funding for it. Even over the last few years in putting additional funding on the table for those public pre-K classrooms, as well as making sure that there was resources for family child interactive learning programs as well. So it's been a continuous work in progress. But to me, we're not moving fast enough. When you take a look at our youngest of children that don't have access to highly effective, high quality early learning opportunities in their own backyards, start kindergarten without those experiences, that is not fair. You're already starting them without that strong foundation. And when I start the school year off every morning and I walk my babies to school every day, you can tell that there's some kids that just haven't had those opportunities. And that's really not fair for them. And it's going to show as the years go on. And to me, that, again, was a success. But that was also an area where we did not do enough. And we have to continue to do more in those particular areas. OK, well, let's talk about it. I appreciate hearing about that. But I know one thing that I've been very interested in is the Women's Caucus, the work in the Women's Caucus. So tell us a little bit about the accomplishments and maybe some of the failures in that area. You know, I think the Women's Caucus has really been a bright spot to me over the last few years. So tell our audience, what is the Women's Caucus? You know, I wish there was actually more publicity about the Women's Caucus. I think we have a picture. Let's see. We have some images of your time at the legislature. OK, well, we'll wait for that to come up. So tell us a little more. To talk about it, the Women's Caucus has really a long history going back where it's a bipartisan effort in the legislature, where women lawmakers come together, whether Republican or Democratic. We sit at the same table. The Irish and City Council are also involved now. And City Council as well. So Councilmember Kobayashi, Councilmember Fukunaga. Some of them have sat in our building as well in the past and have now gone over to the Council as well. It's a recognition, though, that as women leaders at the legislative branch, but also as advocates, we all need to come together to take us down on those issues that we care about. And it's also a recognition that it's not just about women's issues. These cross over to issues that matter to families. They build stronger communities. So it has been very significant in terms of being able to move the needle on things that have made a difference. So what are a couple of the things that it did? Whether it has been issues on domestic violence, sexual assault. You've heard specifically what? Looking at things like the rape kits. If you took at Title IX issues. Making sure there was adequate funding for that at the school level. Not just the university level, but at the Department of Education level. When you talk about Title IX too, for example, it's not just about sports. When Patsy Mink created Title IX, she wanted to be about equity across the board for educational opportunities to make sure that it was about civil rights. And so it was really about doing her right in compliance. And that meant putting the resources and increasing the capacity at the school level and at the university level. And in the last couple of years, in fact this past year, we put millions of dollars towards those compliance efforts at the DOE and the university level. I think it really took women's caucus working with advocates to put a push towards that. And it took having the right women's caucus members chairing the right committees to say that this is what we need to do. We had key members of the legislature chairing key committees, whether it was health committees, whether it was the money committees, whether we had partners at the city council, council women that were there pushing for other initiatives. Being there at the table chairing different committees meant that we could really stand up on those issues of importance to women and families. Caregivers, you take a look at the first ever Kupuna caregivers program in the country that Hawaii is now being held for as a leader. And we're breaking ground on it now and we have to come back and still move forward on this. So this is something that you and the women's caucus spearheaded in terms of passage. This is something that's been worked on for decades. This is not something new in terms of really having a push behind it, but actual passage and where you're seeing forward movement on. Again, sometimes it takes having the right individuals in the right roles and having people come together to say that this is important. The women's caucus is a gathering place for both ideas and it's a place where we can add our collective strength to issues that matter. So are there some issues that are still, as you say, on the table or that you see for ongoing legislative efforts? I think there's one thing that we recognize as individual leaders and collectively as a caucus is that the fight never ends. So many of these things and we have to always be vigilant. And that like peeling back layers of an onion is when you think you've got through one thing, you're gonna find another, which is great because I think when you look at the caucus, you have some very strong advocates and you've got tough people who are always looking to try to make sure that this is not just surface in terms of our advocacy. We wanna make sure this really gets done and gets done well. So when we're looking at various issues in terms of even pain leave issues, when you take a look at what does it require to really make sure that you have equity in the workplace, making sure that people have the supports they need at home and other things. The fight's not done and we have to keep continuing. So there's a lot of issues that are ongoing and that continue to need our support. And a lot of times it's not just money. It's policy issues. In some cases, it may not even be the passages of laws. It will be culture changes and shifts in the workplace and in government first and foremost as the example. So it may be conversations that we're having amongst ourselves and with the departments and also looking at what legislative shifts can take place. I think there's some exciting potentials of paid leave. There were some discussions last year. There's some studies that are gonna be coming out that could really change the landscape. And that has its effects in so many other areas and so many other dynamics. Right. Do you consider yourself a feminist? You know, I think most of us do consider ourselves feminist but first and foremost, I think we believe that we're there to advocate and empower people, our people. And I think for myself, especially as a mother of two boys, I believe that when we lift up women, we all rise. The tide lifts all bolts, there's that saying. So for myself, I do believe that, whether you call it feminism, or it's the belief that when we advocate for these kinds of policies, it's good for everyone. It's a, we build stronger communities. We build stronger families. Right. You know, when I raise, I look at how I'm raising our two sons, it's without a gender bias. Right. And sometimes it's a criticism, you know, from some perhaps, but to me, that's the way it should be. It's about competency, it's about the character, you know, it's about the kind of quality of life that we want for our children and our families. And I think when we do these things and put forward these policies, it benefits not just women, it benefits every one. Well, let me, let's move into, we all know you're running for a lieutenant governor, and I know there's a large field, right? And what was the latest poll? I read one poll that you were in the lead, is that still the case? You know, there have been a few polls, you know, but we're still, as I tell people, seven and a half or eight months out from the primary election, and they have been favorable, but as I tell everyone, I never take anything for granted. And how big is the pool for candidates right now? We probably have about six or seven candidates in the race. By the time filing actually takes place, you could have more at that particular point. And I know several of the other candidates, and of course our current governor, all have background in the legislature. So tell me how you distinguish yourself between, let's say, even the current governor and the other candidates and your particular experience. You know, briefly. Briefly. You know, and I think that is gonna be the challenge, right? When you've got potentially anywhere from seven to eight candidates that will be on the ballot at the election, and people are gonna just be looking at a list from A to T, and by the way, being T, I feel like an old school board of education. Not to bring up what you used to say that I'm right, but I'm gonna be T right there towards the end of the list likely, and that is the great question. How do you distinguish yourself? I think for me, just like every time I've run in my Senate seat, I can't help but just be me. I think to me it is about trying to be authentic to who you are. You know, like I said from the beginning, I'm a working mom. Well, how is your preparation? Well, maybe let's just say, how are you preparing for the role of lieutenant governor? And actually, as we all know, in stepping up to governor, whether it's by choice later on or because of circumstances. So what have you been doing to prepare for the leadership role? You know, I do believe that the last few years, especially in the chairships that I have had, have definitely put me in a very good position to prepare for that kind of role. But beyond that, beyond, of course, your role as a chair of Ways and Meads and in the Senate, but beyond the Senate, because we all know that as governor, you're in lieutenant governor, your jurisdiction is much broader, right? You know, from the neighbor islands and, of course, national issues come here. And so in how, and how have you been preparing for a role that might include those types of responsibilities? You know, I think for myself, I do believe that in everything that I have been doing over the years, it has been a constant preparation for what's next. You know, I've been very blessed and fortunate that even in my own district, it is a very diverse population, you know? And I've always been, by being very authentic and true to myself, been able to relate well with individuals, speaking with them individually, you know, sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't, but just being able to connect with them. Well, I'm thinking more formally and I'm bringing back something from the last presidential election when Katie Couric, I believe, interviewed Sarah Palin, who was running for vice president. Yeah. She asked Sarah Palin, what do you read on a daily basis? What kind of newspapers, journals, magazines? And so I'm just wondering what do you read to keep up with local, national, international events and issues? What do I read? Yeah, really. Well, fortunately, I just don't follow Twitter because I don't think that's the way to do it. But definitely for myself, it is about making sure that I am up to date on what's going on nationally, even conversing with a congressional delegation on a very regular basis in terms of what's going on there. One of the things that I did make sure that I kept in good communication on, especially with a lot of the things that are going on at the federal level right now is whether they were home or even when they were in DC was kept in touch with whether it was our US senators or other representatives, found out what's going on right now, how do we need to be prepared? And more importantly, how can we be proactive about what might come up? Because a legislative session for us at least, at least in the rural life currently, I mean, is only a small window in time. So knowing that, how can we be prepared to help Hawaii? Because for citizens, they don't know the difference between a federal program and a state program or a county program. So in many cases, we have to be very proactive. Also, and on that note, Senator, I'm going to ask us to hold for a second. I'm gonna go do a commercial break and we'll get back to more specific issues and we'll be right back after the break. Thank you. Aloha, I'm Kili Ikeena and I'm here every other week on Mondays at two o'clock p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii's Hawaii Together. In Hawaii Together, we talk with some of the most fascinating people in the islands about working together, working together for a better economy, government and society. So I invite you into our conversation every other Monday at two p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network. Join us for Hawaii Together. I'm Kili Ikeena. Aloha. Aloha, I'm Winston Welch and every other Monday at three p.m., you can join me at Out and About, a show where we explore a variety of topics, organizations, events and the people who fuel them in our city, state, country and world. So please join us every other Monday at three and we'll see you then. Aloha. Welcome back. This is Kara Monly on Making Leadership Work with my special guest, Senator Jill Takuda who is running for Lieutenant Governor in the 2018 race. So thank you for coming. Thank you. So we were talking about some of the national, the ways you keep up with what's going on at a national level. So I was wondering, specifically, have you, do you have thoughts about, let's say on a state level, the prison system? I know that's come up lately about establishing a new prison and I know that that was something that the governor would be responsible for. So do you have any thoughts on that particular issue? You know, I definitely know that that's a huge issue that needs very focused attention on. One of the things that we did look very closely at the last few sessions has been the operating cost of the prison system and how sustainable is it? In fact, if we take a look at the last few budget cycles and some of the proposals that we did specifically that came out of my committee, we did look at the overtime issues and how sustainable that was and made some very specific recommendations on ways that we could really start to clamp down on some of those and try to work with the administration to try to get a handle on spending in many cases because one, we want to help them create a system that is supportive, but it has to be manageable from a fiscal standpoint as well because as we know, the costs that go into it comes out of the pockets of other programs. Relating to other programs, how do you rank the prison issue with regard to everything else that the governor and lieutenant governor would have to face? What would you consider the major, the top three issues that as lieutenant governor and governor that you would want to have input in and be able to affect? Well, I think you have to look at it balanced out with everything else. If a program is looking at tens of billions of dollars or upwards of 10 millions of dollars in overtime, it's coming out of the pockets of education. It's coming out of the pockets of whether or not you can afford a long-term care program for your seniors. It is all connected whether you like it or not. If you cannot somehow create a program that is helping to reduce recidivism for the individuals who are in the criminal justice system, then they're just going to be going back in. So it really is about looking at, do you have an effective prison or criminal justice system or not? And so it is about trying to get a good handle on public safety. It's actually one of the smaller departments out of all of the executive branch agencies and departments, but by no means is it insignificant. So the governor really has to look at prioritizing everything and where there might be one area where he needs to drill down deeper. That could be an opportunity to delegate it to a lieutenant governor to say, you need to go work on this area and drill down with the various departments and agencies to make sure that we can do better and should be doing better in this particular area, whether it be the prison system and justice reinvestment and even looking at the overtime and staffing issues, would there be something like the state hospital and what we just saw recently? Because it's not just about escapes there. It is about the operational costs there. We've been looking at that for years and it's connected even to community-based mental health, something that I was looking at for many years in connection with the state hospital because why are they so crowded there? Why do we have homeless on the street that are dealing with mental health and substance abuse? If you don't have enough capacity at either the state hospital or in our community-based mental health system, where do they end up on the street? So if you don't have the time as the executive, the chief executive, to run all of your departments at the same time, you should be delegating this to drill down deeper to your second-in-command and that's usually how it should work. And so that's the real opportunity for myself having seen where these kinds of opportunities exist, where you can have better collaboration and efficiencies, especially during departments, where some of these pockets lie and where some efficiencies lie, especially from a budgetary standpoint, that's the exciting part for me because where we can reduce some of the spending, see some of these efficiencies, then you can take those resources and put it where you really need it, whether it be education or seniors or other things. So that's the exciting opportunity to me to have a functional executive with a chief executive and a lieutenant governor working as two strong leaders for the state. So officially, though, that's not part of the responsibility of the lieutenant governor, right? That would have to be almost a negotiation between the governor and the lieutenant governor. But also, you need to have a lieutenant governor who can identify exactly where these opportunities are. So how do you work with the current governor and candidates for governor? I think I've been very blessed that I've worked with both of them for many, many years. So we're talking about Governor E. Gay and current representative Colleen Hanna-Boussa. Both of them in the Senate. I've had relationships with them while they were both serving in the Senate. Colleen, when she was Senate president, Governor E. Gay, when he was in the Senate, and actually Governor E. Gay and I have known each other from when he was education chair in the house, and I was a student. So we go back even further. He was very young, though. I must say, when he was very young. When we were starting out. But my relationship with both of them go back quite some ways. And I think I'm very fortunate that we have a good open relationship in the sense that we may not always agree, but we can have that good conversation, open conversation about what we think should be done. And they are very familiar with my style and my abilities as well. And how is your relationship with the neighbor islands? Because as a state center, you really don't have to be involved on a regular basis. No, I agree. But that was one thing that was very important for me as a chair in all of my capacities. Even as education chair, one of the things that was important to me was that I got the perspectives of the principals on a number of things. So when it came to, for example, looking at the Waitest Student Formula, which is a very contentious issue about funding, I did a statewide tour and talked to all of the principals in the state and went and met with them for hours and went island to island and met with them. Every principal. What are the advice principles facing the neighbor islands? For many of them, it's equity. It was. Equity in terms of. There was the feeling back then, it's been a few years. It was equitable. It was not adequate in terms of the funding. There was concerns about the adequacy of the funding. The equity for the most part, it was distributed equitably across the board, but it was a huge adequacy issue. There was not enough funding, especially for all the different kinds of mandates that were coming down from the federal level, from what they saw from the state level. There was a lot of additional burdens being placed on to the principal. For many of them, they got into being a principal to be academic leaders for the school and they were finding themselves being, in charge of projects, maintenance projects and HR directors and IT directors and all these other things. And lost was what they originally got into educating for. They wanted to teach children and to grow minds and that was not what they were finding at the end of the day. But that was really a big thing for me to be able to go to each island and be able to listen to literally hundreds of different perspectives, but go to them, not have them come to me. In some cases we had maybe one or two video conferences, but it was important for me to go to them and listen, even see the distance it took to drive the sum charter schools and see you take an hour and a half to get somewhere. But beyond education issues for the neighbor island, there's governor, lieutenant governor, what? And you said mentioned equity. Are there other important areas that you would like to see improved or? Absolutely, yeah. There's many. And I was able to really also see some of that for the last few years as Ways and Means Chair for the grant and aid process, for example. Realized that it was very difficult for most people to come to the hearing at the auditorium, you get three minutes to give your spiel. And in front of an auditorium of people, and you might be at the end of a five hour process at that particular point. So set up listening stops on each island. And it was tough because for the most part, each person, each group only got about 10 minutes or so. But I did sit downs on each island and I would sit for about five, six hours on each island for the last couple of years and just give them a chance to meet one-on-one with me and usually the senator is from that island. But I wanted them to have a chance to not have to pay and oftentimes the trip to Oahu to have one-on-one time with me and just talk about what they do and why their mission was important. And for me, it was about coming to them and it was getting their perspectives of how they wanna partner with government and what they do for their community. That led a great deal. That was extremely important for me to also see how we could do better through partnerships in many different aspects of government, not just education, but in all the different divisions and departments that we work through. And again, what the needs are in each community statewide on all the islands and how those needs are often being met in partnerships with the government, but in oftentimes through community-based organizations as well. Right. Well, we only have a few more seconds in the center. So I'm gonna give you an opportunity to look into camera floor and say something to our audience. Again, we're speaking with Senator Jill Takuta who is running for Lieutenant Governor in the 2018 race. So the camera's all yours for a few seconds. Well, I just really wanna thank you for this opportunity to chat with you and to your viewers and just say that this is really gonna be a really amazing opportunity for to have democracy in action with so many candidates running for the Lieutenant Governor position. And it really is a critical position in that we need two strong people in the executive branch because there's so many problems and issues facing our state that no one person can take it on alone. And for myself, like I said, I'm a working mother at the end of the day. It's the lens in which I see the world.  And I couldn't help but feel that sense of urgency that if we don't do something, if we don't step up, we as families, we're not gonna be able to make it here. For all intensive purposes, all the economic indicators look great. We've got planes full of tourists flying in, virtual unemployment and construction looks all right. But if you just scratch a little bit below the surface, you can feel the struggle. And I think for most of us, it really is about knowing that after we work hard from a long day's work, that when we go home to that kitchen table and we all sit down and we try to balance it all out, we just wanna know is government working just as hard as the rest of us to make it balance out? And for myself, it was about stepping up and making sure that they know that they had somebody just like them that was gonna work just as hard. That's really what it's about. It's for our families, it's for our kids. And I think 2018 is gonna be the year when we make sure that we take care of our families just like we take care of our own. So thank you for this opportunity. And I think 2018 is gonna be a great year for all of us. Thank you so much, Senator. And I wish we had more time because I'd love to cover some of the tax issues that are coming up at the national level. But we do appreciate you're taking the time to come down. Of course, you wish you the very best. No, thank you. Thank you, Senator. Well, today you have been watching Making Leadership Work with my special guest Senator Jill Takuta.

Hey guys, Thunder E here, and I've got a behemoth 85 inch TV right behind me. I am talking about the Samsung Q950TS, it only comes in one size, yes that's right, 85 inches, and it is a beast. Now before we go ahead, don't forget to hit the subscribe button, hit that notification icon, and let's jump in. So everyone is buying a TV now, and we know why, we're stuck at home, and you know we've got to watch content, we've got to play our games, there are new consoles out there, the Xbox Series X, the PlayStation 5, but why go for an 85 inch TV? First of all, screen size, this thing is huge, it is massive, it is, it is, it just takes up a lot of space. It's an 8K TV, and watching content on here really will blow your mind. It's hard to go back from using this television set, but what does it offer? Besides just being 85 inches and 8K, it packs in a ton of features, so Samsung has something called the Delta V stand that makes it feel like it's floating, when you look at the TV on the side or in front, it looks like it's tilted back slightly and floating, it's a different look and feel. Of course you can mount this on your wall if you want to. Now the TV also has 70 watt speakers, the speakers are built to the side of the TV, so you get the speakers coming from either side, and the subwoofers in the back giving you some really clean, clear sound. Don't take my word for it, take a listen. So yeah, it sounds good, it's great, it almost takes away the need for a soundbar, but of course a soundbar will add a different element for you, and whether you're watching YouTube videos, you're watching a movie, any kind of content, it looks really good. Or even when you are gaming, this TV looks good and sounds well, especially playing on the brand new consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. The TV supports what you need for next-gen consoles, so of course it's got four HDMI ports, one of them is HDMI 2.1, which is a sad part because I wished all four ports were HDMI 2.1, but just one, so if you've got both consoles, you gotta basically switch back and forth to ensure you get the best capabilities, but as you can see here off the Xbox Series X, it supports all that except Dolby Vision. Now, this TV also has a one connector box, that box houses all the ports and all the processing power for the TV, so you just have one cable going from that one connector box to your TV, and put it this way, it's a smart thing that Samsung has done here, if anything happens in terms of the internals on the TV, say the sound processing doesn't work well, you just ship that back, they ship you a new one, and boom, your TV works. You don't have to ship this whole 85 inch out the way, which would be crazy. Now, the TV runs ties in OS, it's something that Samsung has used for a while, it's pretty smooth, it works effectively, and I like the way that all your apps are docked in front, so you can easily jump into your shows and also jump into your various gaming consoles. TV has a game mode, which will automatically detect once your console turns on, which is nice. Now, the remote control is simple and clean, it's one of the older designs, but I do like this design quite a lot, I like the silver look on it. It's got three additions this year, which are a Netflix button, an Amazon button, as well as also the Samsung TV Plus. Now, Samsung TV Plus allows you to scroll through and look at content, TV don't have contents to watch, speaking of content, how do movies look on this TV? Let's take a look. It looks crisp, I mean, BVS still looks as good as ever, that green kryptonite really shines and stands out, and that's something I think a lot of people would like, but we are gamers and we talked about the fact that this has an HDMI 2.1 port, and I've been playing on my Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. How is that experience? What does it look like? How does it feel? Those are the questions you want to know, and let's take a look at what it actually brings into the table with the Samsung Q950TS. So, as a gamer, I mean, I had to get both consoles and I've been using both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 for about a month or so extra. Both consoles have benefits and disadvantages, and on a TV like this, it's easy to highlight a lot of those features. One of the very first things to look at, of course, is the menu system. Now, both menus, yes, they are different styles, I'm going to talk about that specifically, but they look really good. Now, the Xbox Series X menu looks nice and clean, and it looks sharp and vibrant, until you look at the PlayStation 5 menu. Now, what you don't know is the Xbox Series X is at 1080p from the menu, and the PlayStation is at 4K or higher resolution. So, when you're upscaling to 8K, the 4K definitely looks sharper and more vibrant than the 1080p. So, that's something you will probably notice if you watch carefully on both consoles. Now, when it comes to games and gaming, what have I been playing on both consoles? Now, for the PlayStation 5, I'm playing Spider-Man Miles Morales. I like the game, it plays well. You've got different options for doing performance mode, you can do performance with ray tracing, and the game looks really, really nice. I'm playing right now on high fidelity, and it looks sharp, it looks great, but you can play it in different modes, and the game works really well. On the Xbox Series X, I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 before that.  It looks sharp, I'm playing in fidelity mode, it looks really good, and again, this game consoles push a lot, but when it comes to the idea of where I'm playing and spending more time playing games, it's got to be the Xbox Series X, because I've got a larger library of games. Now, some people would say, well, PlayStation has the new exclusives, and they do have more exclusives, but the fact that I can jump in and play a game like Cyberpunk 2077, yes, that's on the PlayStation 5, but I can also switch immediately, with Quick Resume, to say a game like Mortal Kombat, and that's a great feature as well on the Xbox Series X, and then play a brand new game that came out, at least a game that came out this year, like Control, without spending any extra cash. So I spent money to buy Cyberpunk 2077, and that's it. The rest I have on my Xbox Game Pass, while I spent $120 on the PlayStation 5 to buy Demon's Soul and Spider-Man Miles Morales, and I am only playing Spider-Man Miles Morales. So due to the economy of skills there, it makes sense, especially when you're thinking of buying a TV and gaming on a console. Now, of course, these consoles do have some new features, and they have new controllers. Now, the Xbox Series X controller is new, but it's not vastly different from its last generation. Some more improvements, some fine tuning, it's more of an iteration of a controller. The PlayStation 5 controller, on the other hand, yes, it's new. It's new, it feels much better, and it's got a lot of cool new features. Now, which controller feels better to me? I say they both feel the same. I'm not a fan of the trigger of the joystick location of the PlayStation 5, but I do like the fact that they've improved the controller. I know it's got a ton of new features, but it doesn't change a lot of my gameplay right now, and we'll have to wait and see what developers do and bring to the table. So that is something that's quite interesting there. Now, something that the PlayStation 5 can do with this Samsung Q9T50TS, and for some reason the Xbox Series X cannot do, is being able to use the Samsung TV remote to navigate my PlayStation 5. That's why I have that right behind me, and I can navigate through while using this remote. So my PlayStation controller is here, I'm holding it, I'm not pressing any buttons, and I'm navigating through the menus. So, for instance, if I power up my PlayStation 5 and I want to go ahead and just watch a movie or watch jump into a TV show, I can go ahead, go to media, and then I can start navigating and watch some Mando, or watch something off Netflix. Very easy and very simple. So, I like that. On the Series X, for some reason I can't do it. I know I could do that on the Xbox One X when I have that, for whatever reason, maybe it's just an option or something, it just doesn't work there. Now, speaking of issues or bugs on both consoles, what I've experienced while playing and using it on this TV, my PlayStation 5 has crashed about three times, the times I've noticed, and that's about it. I don't have a lot of crashes on it. I'm not using an external hard drive. The only times it's crashed on me. My Xbox Series X has had an issue where each time I start a game, and it started when I downloaded Cyberpunk 2077, I would have to basically unplug and plug in the HDMI port, but it's happened about three times or so. So, again, that too is not something widespread. Those are the issues I've had with the consoles. I think overall, when you look at both the Series X and the PlayStation 5, they are great consoles. They bring the kind of fidelity of performance as a PC gamer I can see. Now, playing on an 85-inch TV, it is unreal. I mean, this is something you have to experience. I wish that I could afford a TV like this. I wish you could afford a TV like this. It's about $11,000. It's not for everyone, but if you've got the space and you've got the cash and you want a TV that has a lot of room to just give you high fidelity, it works quite well. Another thing to mention with this TV is the fact that watching in daytime and playing in daytime, it's really good. Reflections, things like that. It doesn't affect your viewing in comparison to say like an OLED. So, that is something to take note, especially if you've got a lot of big windows and you're using the TV as such. So guys, if you have any questions or any comments about the Samsung Q950 TS, let me know. Or you want to get some more information on the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5, leave your thoughts down below. And if you want to see me do a review on the Xbox Series S, leave those thoughts as well. This is Thunder E saying thank you and always enjoy entertainment.


how Anthony Rizzo has been grinding, and you were happy for him to come through in that situation. How pleased you to see him drive a ball the way he did out to the bleachers. Yeah, really good. And that was kind of the one that really, really got us rolling, kind of broke it open a little bit there. And to see him really get into one like that was definitely good. And back-to-back days of getting some really meaningful results at the plate is hopefully something that continues to spur him on. And then with a big lead, you're able to bring in Manny Ben-Wellos. What is that moment like for you guys in the clubhouse to see him finally make that Yankee debut? Yeah, it was awesome. I mean, it was emotional in there. Obviously, most of you are aware of his story to be here. He's just such a great dude. And to see him realize this later than expected, but never given up and never losing sight of this being what he wanted to do and where he wanted to do it. To see guys, to see people persevere through a lot of different things is special to witness that. Lindsay and Eric. Sharon, did you have maybe a pitch target in mind for how long you would let Garrett go if things continued in the seventh? No. And then when he signed, there's a lot of pressure on him to kind of anchor the rotation and whatnot. Do you think that the overall success of the rotation around him has maybe taken some of that pressure off him? Or do you think that it's benefited him? Look, I think anytime you're a close knit group like those guys are and you're challenging each other and learning from one another, I think that environment is one that you have a better chance to thrive in. So I think that's happening. But he's Garrett Cole. He's always going to have those expectations and whatnot that kind of follows him all the time. But I've felt like really since spring training and again, even early in the season, when he didn't get results, so his first couple, I felt like his stuff was in a really good place. And we're seeing that on a really consistent basis right now. Eric, just to follow up on Lindsay's question, can you envision a scenario if he had the perfect game still going where you would have asked him for the ball? No. No. I mean, if we're into a dangerous 140, 50, it's hard to imagine him having a perfect game up in those kind of numbers. But I certainly would have been inclined to let him chase history. And then the Carpenters bunched two outs to kind of start at that. Yeah, right? Great execution. I don't think they believed him the first time or just with two outs. Or he showed Bunt and it was a ball and they stayed in the shift. And I just think with two outs and his power presence, I think they just figured we'll let him have that. He executes and then it turns into obviously a huge inning for us where that's the inning we broke it open, right?  Trevino follows that up and then leads to that then lead to Rizzo? No? OK, yeah. But yeah, it was just kind of a winning play.


Hello! Hey everybody! Welcome to S-Fans Tailgate Tours! This is episode number three so we're here with our guest, our co-host, NMP Lal. Make sure to follow NMP Lal on Twitch and everything else as well. So what game are we gonna be watching today? We're gonna be watching the OTK versus Friends game. Yes. So the number one ranked OTK is playing the number two ranked OTK's Friends and it's gonna be a huge huge game. It's gonna be awesome. The environment, the pageantry, everything that we're gonna see here is gonna be unreal. We got this outside beautiful place, S-Fans place, beautiful. Check it out. You see the background there. Super nice as well, you know. But what really is important about today is that OTK has friends. Yes we absolutely have real friends. Yes we do and honestly I think it's a good time. It's getting kind of hot over here. Let's go let's go see the friends. Yes let's do it. Do you guys wanna get paid? This is gonna be kind of weird but we have some fun things that we're gonna do today. We have volleyball. Yeah we also have kayaks. We have boats. There's big spiders down there. Essentially what's going on is today is a barbecue with streamers. You're gonna see what streamers are really like. Everyone's like oh my god I love Miz. I love flat. They're so cool. You know they're not.  They don't really do anything. We have some cooking, some burgers and honestly that's where we can start off. Get people some food. Maybe give them some energy so they can get going. So this is technically what we're supposed to be doing. It's cooking all of this. Oh. Where's the actual food? That's the food. That's a lot of meat. We don't need that. All right. So now we've got the beef franks and the patties. Well tell them where the beef franks are from. They're from the ballpark. I don't know where that is. This ballpark that these beef franks are from is actually a special form. These cows that were used to make these beef franks were born and raised. Each one of them was named and had a family and that is why it tastes so much better than it normally would. Next we have this ground chuck beef. So the way you do this is I saw my mom do this one time. I think you have to like put it in like a pan or something. We need to find someone to season this food. Who's this real man? What? Air can season? Yeah can you season? Yeah I can season. All right can you get these burgers? Yeah but we just need seasoning. We have seasoning. We do. It's over here. We have salt and pepper right? Wait we need like a cutting board. You got to rub it in too. Bro you're putting all of it on there.  You don't put that much, you do not put that much Tony. That is way too much. It's okay. It's okay. It's way too much. I'll eat this one. There you go. We only have so many burgers guys. I'm gonna keep it 100p. This is gonna be so bad. I don't know. We're spreading it out. What are they doing? He broke it. Bro what are you doing? It wasn't me. Brittany did it. Bro are you pouring so much? That's dude because I'm gonna flip it over. He broke it.  I'm trying my best man. I'm trying to make everybody happy. Nice man. We're putting all the way too much. Every time I cook this other streamers I feel so good about myself. So let's do this.  Alright, I'm gonna put it out there. Zach you ready? Yeah? Alright let's give it a go. Okay so that's what's... Well hold on to it. I'm worried I might knock it out your hand. Eat it up. What? You just broke it. Bro it'll melt together. You ruined it man. No you have to smush them together before.  It's literally the best meat store. Dude I must have soy lungs because I'm having a hard time breathing right now guys. Alright some people ain't cut out for it. It's not good for the life. And that includes the gas.   Smoky as the losers. Hey chat look what Soda taught me. You're recording this? Get this out of here. Hey we doing business out here. This is the first pool I've seen in so long. It's finished.  It's not fair son. You gotta learn how to swim the tough life. Dude that is the worst. I went straight up into the water. He really did deserve it. He really did deserve it. It'll toughen him up. There's nothing wrong with toughen him up. It's good. This is good. It's good. They've been cooking these burgers. And it's raw. They're all raw. We got it man. Put those over there. How are those cooked better than the ones in the fire? Because they're not literally on fire. The closer to the fire it is the better. I don't know if it's supposed to smoke this much. No it's not. It'll be fine. I'm not eating one of these by the way.  No, no, no. I'm just not hungry. Is anyone gonna eat these? I'm gonna eat one. I worked for this. Can we see it? Can I see it? Oh they're getting cooked down. What's happened to four? They just took a while. What are you doing? Seasoning bro. That's not seasoning. It adds flavor. This is a... Okay well this one's manual lemonade burgers. You know what I've learned from all this? Streamers are pretty lame. I feel like I'm at home with my pool. Myself included. Especially the group of three in the corner there.   You guys are outside of a burger place? Hey, I'll remember that and you made a big mistake. You really did.  I won't remember it. I'm gonna forget later. I'm already blacked out and I don't remember any of this. Is my burger done? Yeah. What happens if you eat a raw burger?  Yeah, go ahead. Doesn't Asim's hair look good with it long? You just keep it long all the time. Who's gonna do it? I swear those look raw. Guys this is a secret. A lot of times people take the insides and they cook the insides but in reality you're supposed to cook the outside. Why? Because the burger has the heat so the burger itself cooks the inside of the meat. So what you're actually supposed to do is you're supposed to cook the outside because the inside of the burger doesn't cook the outside of the bun. So, boom, boom. Right there. Right there. Right there. Now it'll be Asim's. What?  Yeah. You applying that to your burgers? Yeah.  You're not bad. Possible. Dude, what? We're having a weird situation. Bitch, my cigar.  So here's the deal guys. It's about 105 degrees outside. Moans be overheating dog. We have a lot of outside events planned. Dude, that's huge. Can we cut it off? Yeah. Ellen, Jesus dude. God damn. So what do I do? Do I just cut it in half? Should we put it on the cutting board?  You keep cutting it in half. Just do a C-section like that way. Let's put it on a towel. Oh my gosh. He said he wanted some. Yeah, I wanted some earlier guys. Is that fuck? Is that fuck?  That looks fine. Yeah, I told you man. Okay. It's fine, I like it. Wait, you're missing out. Man, just eat it. You probably eat worse, man. BJ, if he's scared to show me it's like, yeah, you're dead. It looks the same as the inside of the watermelon.   Is that a problem? No, it's not. You gotta get in on him, bro.  I didn't know.  No. It was a bad joke, Eric. The latest from Chef Esfand. There's mayo. So delicious. I feel like I'm eating a hockey puck. Yeah, what do you mean? Some of them work hard on cooking that. Was either good? No. Is this even done? No, don't eat that. Simply don't eat that.   Am I gonna live? I have this thing and I'm dying. Why is everyone like sitting on the burgers, man? I put a lot of effort in that. Have you seen it? They're all raw, bro. It's raw.  It's not that bad, bro. It's not that raw. It's not that raw. Let's throw it back on the grill for a little bit. We'll be good. We're gonna save it. It's not even that raw, you sweet ghost. People don't like it when they cook it. Yeah? Well, I'm eating more. They can do whatever they want to do. Well, they cook for 20 minutes. That is pink inside. That is raw. They cook for 20 minutes. I think it's fine. It tastes good. This isn't a good grill. The grill's trash. Come back in like 5 minutes. Guys, S-Fans tailgate tours. Check out the YouTube video. Let me know what you think. Nick and Malina stream, dude. Nick and Malina stream is great, dude. Guys, guys. S-Fans tailgate tours, guys. S-Fans tailgate tours. YouTube, S-Fan TV, Instagram, Discord, Reddit, everything. Comedy Russell, guys. Make sure to follow. Make sure to follow. S-FanComedyRussell.net. So, technically what we're supposed to do now is what people do at parties when they want to have fun is they get into a pool. But, sadly, only one person wants to get into the pool at a pool party. Why? Because streamers are what you think they are.  Come on, who's getting in the pool? Aspen, you look ready to go. Jump in the pool. Alright, Aspen, ready? Yeah. Push me all the way across. If you do it, you get $10,000 from Mr. Beast. Okay, ready? Mr. Beast! I'm kicking you out of my house. Get in the pool, I'm kicking you out. I'll be honest. This is crazy that we cannot find another person besides Ms. to get in the pool. Oh, look! Oh, she threw you out of the pool! Oh, you're wrong! Remember how, like, people, like, viewers think that streamers are trying to buy a whole bunch of chicks and it's just like a party all the time? No, that's YouTubers. Streamers, this is streamers. So, apparently we're not doing any corneral because you guys are lame. So, we can go kayaking. So, we gotta go for a low journey. Who's up for a journey? The ladies are in, miss. I thought I was part of the ladies. You're out, do you want to get in there? Okay, guys, we're going kayaking. Wait, Aspen! I don't have shoes, you have to come get me. Yep! Oh, damn. We're always carrying me and your stream. Listen, my stream is not about me. It's about people who come on it. I need someone to pick me up. Someone help Finn? Hold on. Jade, you're gross, dude. I work out! Papa! Okay, I'm 200. Okay. I'm going down. Thanks. I think what would be best is that we take this big one out there. We put the camera guy in this one. Can we push it? No, and other people get in there with him and that's the way to do it. Let's get this big one in there. How heavy is this motherfucker? Jade's got it. I got it! Finn, you got to get in. After that, dude? No, I got to get the back so I can see people. There's a little bit of a hole in it. That's a hole, it's literally like a cartoon boat. No, no, no, no, no. So you have about 30 minutes before we get back. Good luck, Finn. Wait, you got to get in. No, I have diarrhea. Okay, I'm getting in. E-Rap. I feel like this is dangerous. It's not, it's fine. Did everybody swim? Oh my god, where is Finn? There's a hole!  Wait, one, you guys need this to keep going. We need both of them! Milana, get in the pack! He's closer to the other coast. This is the worst. Why are we doing this? I'm scared. This is kind of cozy. It's kind of cute. The water is really starting to really get in here, huh? Yeah, it is. His dad instinct. What if we did sink, though? That would be really cool. God, that is a man right there. What a ramah! Is that Jaegermeister? Hey! Hey, reinforcements, dude.  Okay, does anyone have anything long? Yes. I just feel like a rope. No, he doesn't. Alright, bros, we'll see you back on land. Do you want to get on here? Come on here with me. Go get on there. Get on there? Operation successful? That's my photo. It's the Jaeger that's important. Good call. My Jaeger. Later, bros. Catch in the flipside, homie. Let's go on. Alright, now we go. They just fell. You've got to be kidding me. Women are so annoying. Dude, you're right. Are you speaking with me and S-Fan? Tailgate tour! Are you okay? Yeah! Don't beat us! Go to the dock! I have no idea. I think they wanted us to help them, but Ma was retired. Someone needs to go out there and give it to them. Listen, I would go out there, but if this thing capsized, I would drown to death. I can't swim. It's not gonna capsize. I mean, mate, it's leaking. There's literally a pool of water behind Fenn. I can literally see it. So they're actually stranded out there, so we really do need to give them back a paddle.  Wait, where's S-Fan? We've got to carry this boat back now. Wait, do I have to film the rescue up so I'm getting back in? Milena, here I am! There's Baywatch. Yo, give me a life jacket. I'll go. Okay, how are we going to go full flip? Not flip it. Ah! It has more water in it than it did before. That looks fine. It's better down over here. Dude, S-Fan was right. It's the one that bit me. You gave me superpowers. Oh my god. Our father, who art in heaven. Halle be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Okay, okay, ready? Let's get a song. We need a song for the tempo. Nine bottles of beer on the wall. Ninety-nine bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around. Ninety-nine bottles of water on the wall. Ninety-nine bottles of water on the wall. Ninety-nine bottles of water. Take one down, pass it down. Ninety-nine bottles of water on the wall. Ninety-nine bottles of water on the wall. Ninety-nine bottles of water on the wall. It's infinite. We just wear a candy's jacket. Well, we didn't lose too much out there. We didn't lose too much out there. rescue mission for Miz and E-Rob's girlfriend the rescue team didn't quite make it so now we lost everybody but yeah I mean I don't we don't really have a formal goodbye I think everyone's out of juice people really now people people are leaving people are tired like people are out of people out of gas you know we put in a lot of hard work today a lot of effort you want to jump off and end it you go for it


And the United Nation even talks a lot about New Age philosophy. Many New Age teachers from the 40s and 30s were writing papers to the United Nations to present. Papers about the future of mankind, about us achieving peace on the earth. It's great intentions, it's good intentions, little do they know what's actually coming on the earth. If they read the book of Revelation, if they see what's coming before Christ returns, they would realize, you know, the devil's not actually trying to create peace. He's trying to prevent people from knowing the one and only way.


This team looks like a juggernaut. So it begs the question. Where is the weakness if they have any so front? Where is it? Where's the weakness for you know, they're a complete team, but going in October It's it's World Series of Bust when you win this much during the season It never hurts to add another bullpen piece that can get the ball to course to the Kimbrough And it's one of those things that they're so hot right now. You think this is gonna carry on for the rest of season It's not they're still gonna have to rough some downs. I mean, I'm looking for them to have a you know Six or seven game slide. That's when the Yankees gonna have to pounce But this team look like they're in it to win it But you always can add another bullpen piece to get the ball to Kimbrough and close up all games The slide is not happening right now. They're 25 and 5. They're our last 30. It's it's incredible Where's where's the weakness? Well, I think if there was a hole they already addressed it in the signing of Ian Kinsler, I know he's banged up with with the hamstring injury right now If you want a nitpick you might be able to say that there might be a little bit of a hole at third base with Rafael Devers But the kids 20 years old he's still trying to figure it all out seems like this team never loses So I just think that for them right now, they're absolutely rolling man They are getting crucial hits from everybody up and down the lineup from their role players Star players and obviously like we talked about man Chris sale comes back I think he's supposed bitch on Saturday if Chris sale and David Price are right for the post season I'm telling you what man. That makes it difficult for anybody to compete with this team. Okay, so the one Item that we didn't really hit on rookie manager Or I mean Alex Cora what's impressed you about how he has handled this season what hasn't impressed you What's your impressions of what Alex has done? I've known him since he was a kid So I played his brother played second base within Chicago always around.  He was bench coach last with the Houston Astros So he's not intimidated. He just did this last year with Astros. So he's he's very confident He's got this ball club very confident. They're gonna be something to deal with them October Well, there's no doubt. I mean Alex Cora and Dave Dombrovsky have done a tremendous job I think the biggest move the Boston Red Sox have made this year was getting rid of Hanley Ramirez as crazy as it sounds You get rid of an unbelievable superstar player and it just seems like they got better So I think that he has the love of the locker room He has the love of the city and when you have all that love swirling around man Good things seem to happen and that's exactly what's happening to Boston right now I mean in college football we talked about Lincoln Riley being like the best offensive coach in the sport Alex Cora seems like He's the best offensive coach in the sport. Look what he did with Houston last year I know we never talked about it like that in baseball terms But the two offenses that he's been involved with the last two years have been spectacular He's sharp. He trust me. He knows all those small particulars in the ball game. He pays a lot of attention to detail I'm known as just a kid. He's not surprising me at all, but he loves his game 24 24 7 He got two players in his lineup with OPS is over a thousand man. How hard is it to manage that? Apparently not

Here we are in our QuickBooks Online test company file. We started up in a prior presentation noting that we're in the accounting view as opposed to the business view you can toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top and switch the view down below. We're going to duplicate some tabs to put reports in like we do every time. Right click on the tab up top to duplicate it. As it's thinking I right click on the duplicate tab to duplicate it again. Back to the tab to the middle reports on the left hand side. We're going to be opening up the balance sheet as that's thinking. Tab to the right reports on the left even though it was done thinking that the computer thought really fast like computers do. But we're going to go to the profit and loss. Going to close up the hand buggy. Change the range and we're going to say this is going to go from 010125. Let's go to 06325 and let's see this on a month by month breakout even though there's not much in it thus far for the first half of 2025. We're going to go to the tab to the middle. Close up the hand buggy. Let's do this one from 010125 to 06325 and hit the drop down. We want to see this on a classes breakout.

So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Class by class and run it and there we have it. Okay so now I'm going to go to the first tab we want to go down to the projects and I'm going to look at project number two that's where our focus is remembering that in the past we started the project and we made an estimate and then we got a down payment. I'd first like to see this in Excel so now we're going to have actual kind of the job taking place costs for the job and I'd like to do that first in Excel where it's more transparent and then we'll put it into the QuickBooks system. So here's in essence what we did to calculate the estimate. This is basically our billing structure based on the estimate and now we're going to have actual time passing and actual expenses taking place.  I want to put some some columns between f and g so I'm going to put my cursor on column g I'm going to select on over I don't know like k that's about right and then right click and we want to insert. So now we've got all these skinny columns. I want to widen out those columns so I'm going to select from column e to column j not including that k because I want that to be a skinny and then I'm going to make these like the same width by just adjusting like this one so now they're all the same width let's make them a little smaller right about there that's about right okay okay and then I'm going to say this is going to be the actual actual job progress. I think we can fit it down at the bottom here without a big issue and so I'm going to say this is going to be black and white on the header home tab font group black white and let's say we're going to say that we actually start work on month number two I'm just going to say equals month number two and then we we're actually going to finish it out on month five so we so two to five we're going to finish this thing out and then then let's think about the actual costs so the actual costs let's bring this out a bit we could say break it out between up materials and labor and overhead head and then the total so I'll try to break it out like that and so let's go ahead and black and white this and center it as our headers and make this a little bit wider so you can see a space between these two headers and so I'm just going to kind of make up some numbers now for the actual expenses that are going to take place for month number two and then we'll continue filling out this table as time passes so we're going to say all right we had month number two materials let's say the materials were 7000 and let's say the labor is is 73000 and let's say the overhead is going to be then 3018 and I'm going to sum this up equals the sum of there's the 1318 is the total okay so now I have my actual costs and we can use those actual costs to try to figure how complete the job is and that's typically what we might do in like a revenue recognition concept if we have a longer term type of job to recognize the revenue based on how complete the job is so for example I could compare this number to the the actual revenue to I'm sorry to the actual costs that we project which is the 76 923 to see how complete the job is at this point in time so I could say this is going to be this divided by the total cost I'm going to make that a percent home tab number group percent to find it and I can add a couple depth decimals and I'm going to call this the percent complete percent complete home tab font group black and white let's make this a little bit wider for the percent complete I can add some more decimals then why not do that if it's wider like that so percent complete and then so the revenue revenue let's say revenue recognize or the revenue that we should recognize I'm going to pull all of this down so I can have a header right there I'm going to say just grab this and pull it down and I'm going to grab this and pull it down revenue to recognize or something like that is what I'm trying to say if I spelled it wrong that's not unusual for me because I spell stuff wrong sometimes you may have noticed that's just because the spellings wrong my spellings right the way that people say it should be spelled is wrong so in any case then we could say then the revenue that we should recognize if the the total revenue is going to be 100 000 times the 16 9 2 so on percent would be the 16 9 2 3 and so on so we'll get into this component of it later but if you think about this in the next presentation to actually record this but if you think about this and you're saying okay well if I'm trying to recognize revenue as we go well then I can say this is what we actually spent so there's where we stand at this point in time I'm have a percent completion based on the total expenses to compare to what I think the total expenses will be at the end of the job that's my percent complete and I can multiply that times the revenue that I'm going to be receiving to think about where we should stand with regards to total revenue at this point in time is the general idea so we're just going to record this right now and we'll think about recording the revenue recognition component in a following presentation all right so home tab font group let's put some borders around this now if I record this with just a journal entry in our little worksheet over here I can just say this happened on 228 and we're going to say that we had I'm just going to put it all into cost of goods sold because all of this is going to be part of the thing that we're making right the job that we're doing cost of goods sold the other side is going to go I'm going to say to cash checking account assuming we paid for the labor overhead and materials in practice of course we would have multiple things that we paid for materials or we'd have payroll or contractors that were paying for the work and then we'd have you know overhead things that we're going assign to it but I'm not I don't want to get into too much detail I want to focus on the progress invoicing and the time recognition thing so we're going to say this equals the actual total here and there's the debit and credit if I post this we're going to say this equals the debit and this up here I'm going to say f2 on the keyboard f2 plus f2 so I can scroll back down checking goes down we're negative on the checking so that's not good we're overdrawn we better collect on this soon but that's where we stand let's do the similar kind of process over here in uh in in the quick book software realizing noting that I put the cost of goods sold actually recognizing the cost of goods sold and then we'll recognize the revenue uh in a future presentation for that time period okay let's go back on over and let's say that we're in our projects now in quick books in our project number two where we left off last time and I'm just going to say we have an expense form and it's going to be for project number two actually it's going to the a vendor that we're paying I'm making generic vendor here and we're going to go through this and say this was what happened on 022825 and project two so it's pulling over the the data from the last from a from a prior expense form I'm going to delete this stuff and put in a whole new thing so we could see it being put in place so I'm going to say that we have materials that we set up the item for in a prior presentation and I'm going to put the materials on the books for what we said we said 7000 on the materials so all right 7000 materials I'm going to actually make it billable because I would like to pull the materials now over to the revenue recognition which I'm going to report on an invoice so and so I'm and I'm actually not going to give that invoice externally this is going to be for my internal revenue recognition and I'm going to make it 30% markup that's going to be the standard markup that that I'm going to be using now let me before I record this I'm going to delete this and just remind us that I turned on the billable items by going to the cog up top and accounting and taxes and then I'm going to go to the expenses here and I'm going to go to the bills and expenses and we have this I think they currently have it on by default I don't even think I turned it on this time it used to be off by default and you had to turn it on if you wanted to but I think it might have been on by default but in any case you want to have this on and then I've added the markup of the 30% because that's going to be our markup we're going to have our cost and then a 30% markup is going to be our standard markup that's just the way our billing processes I'm going to do something that'll populate automatically if I put that in place here and then I want it the track billable expense items as income that's generally the default that we would want but we're actually we're going to be applying we're going to be using items in conjunction so that'll be that'll adjust it a little and then charge sales tax I'm not going to charge the sales tax so we're going to say okay keep it there and then we're going to go back on over let's do it again boom s expense form this is going to be random vendor number one date 022825 I'm going to delete the stuff down here so I can re-enter it it's going to be materials materials we set up an item for it last time and I'm going to say once again this was 7000 I think 7000 billable 30 markup so the sales estimate comes up to that and then we're going to say the class is going to be class number two okay and then we have labor which I think was 3000 also billable and there's the markup this is going to be class number two and so then we've got the overhead which came out to some random number of 1318 so 13018 billable comes up to that so there's the total of the 2318 which seems high let me check it out again k-pa so 73318 7 3 this should be 3 3018 not 1 3 okay there's the 1318 so there's the 1318 and that 16923 is going to be the revenue that we recognize so if I pull out the trustee calculator and we go back on over here I can see that that's going to be what's going to pull into the invoice from this item which will be 9100 plus 3900 plus 3923.4 there's that 16 that's 16923 so that looks good we'll do that next time but that link is something that's going to be kind going to be important for our revenue recognition kind of recording if you don't you do it that anyways so let's what's this going to do it's going to reduce the cash account and the other side is going to is going to be going into the cost of goods sold driven by the items that we set up we didn't use the categories we used those items that are going to cost a good sold so let's save it and close it and check it out so now we have an a cost to good sold in our project that showed up this is basically the project is kind of like an income statement showing us the income statement performance accounts and then if I go to the balance sheet now we've got the checking accounts if I go into the checking account it's going down for the expense form that we put in place scrolling back up and back to our report income statement is the other side if I run the income statement then notice that I've got the expense which is happening now in February and that's the timeframe that we actually paid for the stuff so we're kind of and hopefully that's the point that we're kind of consuming it we're saying we're thinking in order to to make the whatever we're doing in the long project and then we're going to match up the revenue I'd like the revenue to match up in the same month right so if this was my cost I'd like this revenue to match up in the same month which is what we'll do next time we can also see if we saw the profit and loss by the way for the whole a year 010125 to 123125 and I break this out by classes now you can see our income statement job reports that are basically redundant to the classes but you get a nice job by job this way by using the classes and then you get a and then you get a total for all of it which is quite useful and if you assign everything and cost a good soul to a class it also gives you this non-specified item which is great because that tells you it didn't get assigned to a class so let's go into that I'm going to say there's a problem here that didn't get assigned to a class I'm going to go into that and say class to fix it then fix it it's bokeh it's bokeh so now I'm going to say all right let's go back on over and run it so so now we've just everything's in class one or class two for our two jobs which is a little bit different than our report over here because if I look at my my project reports I usually see a profitability you know just for one job or I can look at a project report this way duplicate tab and go to reports on the left hand side and project project profitability summary from 010125 to 123125 and run it running so you get this nice little breakout but it doesn't give you the full detail so this is kind of nice but you get this nice breakout here and then if you use the classes you also get some of the balance sheet accounts if I run the balance sheet accounts for the full year 010125 to 123125 I can see some not the checking account but the billing's account is breaking out by class and that can be useful because I would like to see what's in the billing's account on per job you know and so I can see that either this way or I can actually go into that billing's account and I can sort this area by customer and that'll break it out if I had more than one activity in the billing's account here it would break it out by billing's and I can see the subtotals this way as well so so there's a couple different ways we can find the same information but I think that redundancy is actually useful okay that's enough next time we're going to go into recognizing of the revenue for that for this month
