Today we're going to critique a video called the myth of bad food Hey there njrew22.com here with a little bit of a I guess it's a low carb Keto carnivore video, but we're going to critique a video together. It's from a filmmaker Matt Devella. I believe that's his name Devella He's a pretty popular YouTube guy, and he's an exceptional filmmaker. I like his work a lot I wish I had the time and skills that he does And he's made a lot of interesting videos a lot about minimalism and all sorts of stuff and the guys on the younger side I believe he may be in his 20s. I think he's a millennial He looks like a really nice guy and and he tends to be very thoughtful in what he does so What I'm going to do today is I watched his video called the myth of bad food And he had a I guess a bodybuilder guy fitness deadlifting Competition they're talking about food and guilt and all this other stuff So we're going to go step by step through this eight minute video together, and I'm going to stop the video I may speed up his video In between points just to make it a little bit easier for us to watch But I'm going to stop the video and offer my commentary. I'm going to shrink myself down into the corner so we can So you can watch the video and I may bring myself back up when I have commentary and blur the screen out in the background And I'll reduce myself back down to small and play his video in between Sections of comment. So let's get started here with the myth of bad food Okay, when we talk about food, it's usually in absolutes.  Could it possibly be this simple? See, let me explain. Is it possible this simple? They're talking about like things that are popular things that aren't and I guess he's just randomly cherry picking things To but there are good foods and bad foods I just you need to know that or are we missing something when we talk about food as unhealthy as the American diet has become Presently 62% of adults are overweight or obese. Our relationship with dieting is just as unhealthy. Take for instance By the way that bar he ate bad high carb It's one survey by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that found that 75% of American women say that they Endure some unhealthy thoughts feelings or behaviors related to food or their bodies food can be a source of pleasure Yeah, that that women have a problem with that and that's not because it's food It's because of social images and so on and social media in particular There's a lot of false ideas going back and forth Joy and it can help bring people together By the way speaking of bringing together I've talked about how eating at restaurants does not have to be it's not like you killed a Bison out in the wilderness and you and your cavemen buddies are eating. It's totally different in 2019 or it can be a place of shame guilt and remorse And yes one donut leads to the next donut and it will eventually kill you because you can't break the donut habit Jordan Sy is a world record power lifter and strength coach today He trains entrepreneurs like Gary V and helps people create a better relationship with food I sat down with him to talk about how we can make progress to not only live healthier lives But to also enjoy food without guilt okay before he starts his interview you need to understand There's a huge difference between people who expend a whole lot of energy with lifting weights and and training It's a completely Completely different scenario because they have a lot more flexibility in terms of what they can eat But it's important that we say that even if they're eating their donuts and their sugar and they burn off all their Calories and and have incredible muscle mass that that just gives them like a hidden passport to be able to eat these things But they're still doing damage to their body internally and mentally just because they look good physically It does not mean they are healthy. Let's see what they have to say. I love to keep things simple Mm-hmm, and I would love to say that we could just create these two separate categories of good and bad food But would you say that that's just a complete over simplification of food? It's a massive oversimplification, and it's it's a marketing tactic. It's almost like when you let me explain it is a massive Simplification, but it's absolutely true. There is good food and bad food, and it there's no there's no arguing that Perhaps when you're like a high-intensity Lifter like this guy, maybe there isn't Physically appearing good food and bad food like when you're not lifting, but I'm telling you right now They're they're selling you the wrong idea here watch look on Instagram You have like the green checks and the red X's I work with a lot of people who struggle with food anxiety and with binge eating and First and foremost more people struggle with binge eating than they would like to admit by the way binge eating is caused Because you raise your blood sugar, and you can't stop eating. It's simple It's been proven and and there's no arguing that and one of the first things I like to say is if you struggle with binge eating if you struggle with food anxiety if You know going out to dinner with friends or family on Friday night is almost anxiety You're producing because you don't want to ruin all your progress The first thing I say is you're not alone because a lot of people struggle with it But very few people actually discuss it, right? You're not alone doesn't make it good FYI It shouldn't make you feel better that you're not alone and don't go out to eat. We've told people this in the past going out to eat with friends and family on a Friday night shouldn't be a Requirement don't go out to eat if it if you have a problem with it And by the way if you're low carb and keto or carnivore You won't want to eat I mean like restaurants don't have to be this part of your life and and the way they're talking about it as if it's a Given is a big mistake because you don't have to go to a restaurant From that point When we place a morality on food whether food is good or bad right or wrong You're setting yourself up for more food anxiety when you say ice cream is inherently bad When you say pizza is inherently bad when you go out to eat with your friends and family and there's ice cream or pizza You're gonna more likely to get anxiety about it. No, not true Yes, food is good and bad things that are available today in 2019 in mass like Bananas all year round from all over the world and other inflammatory foods like a like all these grains and and greens that people are eating That are actually causing pain in your body It's just it and like they're showing bread here and they're talking about guilt Again, you gotta remember these guys have a little bit of a passport to eating Bad that would normally be and it doesn't affect them personally or I mean physically But other people and they're they're basically making it okay to have your burger And they're gonna eat a burger later in the video you watch or a doughnut or a 50 gram of carb energy bar Bad and they can't just because they're in shape and eating it doesn't They're sending the wrong message and this is the disservice to many other people Yes, both are inherently bad the high in sugar and high in carbs period you shouldn't eat them You'll get anxiety about eating ice cream and pizza when you feel the stomach ache afterward It's there's no problem.  It's it's a fantastic level to reach by the way Because you think you're doing something bad But when we understand that our health isn't made up by one meal or one bite You know one no one got fat from having one doughnut Just like no one got skinny from having one salad no one lost all their progress by missing one workout No one got jacked and shredded by having one amazing workout Our health is dictated by it see what he's doing here by by using this simple comparison of all It's only one bad workout or one great workout. I think he's he's missing missing the point that short Working out it can be a long-term thing and missing a workout is not a big deal Unless you're in a competition or you have to make gains within a set period of time but the food slippery slope is absolutely Something that you're gonna realize later on in life is not a good thing because slipping sucks Because if you're doing low-carb and you're on a nice roll And you're just feeling great Eating a white bread Italian hoagie can set you back not just a week in in making gains If you're at that initial stage where you're making really good downward progress But it also can make you feel pain for several days three days at least you're gonna feel sick you might have bowel issues He's putting too much. He's making it too. He's oversimplifying these big solutions Everything we do over time and the more we can realize that one meal isn't good or bad one meal isn't right or wrong The less anxiety we're gonna have with food, which is really what my main goal is to have a healthier relationship with food See there. I have to say he's a wrong again. He's basically letting people make an excuse. Oh, it was only one It was only one doughnut or only one pizza pie eight before the first quarter was over in the stupid game. I was watching He's giving people an easy out to saying all this do it next week I'll recover it. You don't want to make these mistakes with doughnuts and crappy processed foods So great We can eat whatever we want whenever we want and there will be no negative outcomes for our health because there are no good Or bad foods except not exactly changing how we look and talk about food doesn't mean that we're magically changing the nutritional components So what does it mean? And this is one of the main arguments that people will use when they go against what I'm saying like oh really? So you're just saying like you should have pop tarts and pizza and and candy for every meal I'm like no just because there's no such thing as a good or bad food does not mean I'm saying go eat whatever you want Like that's not what I'm saying So what he's saying is basically two separate things He's he's saying something that sounds like a good sound bite for this interview and then he's saying it's not good See, I really don't like this what I'm saying is don't place a morality on it Don't shame yourself if you decide to at your son's birthday party have a slice of pizza. It's okay By the way, there they go. They're throwing an emotional hook in there.  They had cake. Oh, it's my son's He won last-place trophy in little league. We got to have pizza, you know It's a bad precedent to set you don't want to do it Don't feel guilt about what you eat at somebody else's party even if it is your own son But that doesn't mean I'm saying eat pizza for every meal like generally speaking To be a healthy individual and maintain a healthier body weight and have a healthier mindset like yeah Minimally processed lots of fruits lots of vegetables lean proteins that should make up the majority of your diet.  I think a lot of times, too Like we need to think about what our goals are from the beginning because it's very easy to just follow trend I hate this. This is an attitude a lot of the younger people are having where they have almost have this Moral superiority over oh, yeah, I can have it. Yeah. Yeah, it's like an ego thing where they refuse to admit They're wrong and 80 20 sucks if you're gonna do anything make it 99.9 and 0.01 you really don't want to mess up because as you go on a Nice streak of feeling great and no pains. No sickness. No anxiety.  Do you want to get lean right? What is it? And I think if we focus on those things first then we can figure out maybe what's the best kind of lifestyle to live What kind of food we should be eating? Again, like they're he didn't really say anything right there what food you should be eating it's Proven and it's it's a guaranteed fact that if you go carnivore or it lived the very least of a very low Carb diet or man. I'm not big fan. I put keto in the in the description just to hopefully attract some people who Who type keto as a keyword it really should be carnivore slash low carb He really said nothing there's really only honest to God one way to have the best diet and that is carnivore The health and fitness community can be a confusing place to navigate It's overloaded with opinions pseudo science and proclaimed experts while there's a wealth of helpful knowledge It can be difficult to discern what's best for you By the way those smoothies he eats with tons of veg Your that's like the worst thing never drink one of these veggie smoothies and with with 9,000 different ingredients in it It's a calorie packed nightmare and the truth is it really depends where you're at on your own fitness journey One of my favorite examples of this For one person progress might be saying no to the donut because it's gonna help them stay on track It's gonna help them eat fewer calories and that's gonna help them lose weight Which is what their goal is for another person that FYI the calories don't matter. I've told people this before It's the carbohydrate content that counts You know I can eat five pounds of meat in a day or I can eat a pound of meat a day My weight stays the same or goes down Sometimes your body just wants protein when you've been particularly active you'll naturally feel hungry or if you've been A little bit more sedentary your your appetite isn't there. That's the beauty of a carnivore diet Both progress might be saying yes to the donut because now they can eat it without anxiety Because I think a lot of people only look at progress from a physical perspective like fat loss By the way, I see a lot of people that eat donuts without anxiety.     They have no idea. They'll wake up one day Err, but every bite they're like I shouldn't be doing this I shouldn't be doing this and they feel terrible about it and they can't even enjoy it The funny thing is they're they're telling themselves that they feel terrible, but they keep eating each bite Why because it's addictive the blood sugar raising bread in that burgers just it's it turns off their Lodger you can't control it at that point when you're eating that delicious burger and you're feeling guilty about it and you keep Eating then what what's the point of feeling guilty?   You'll still get the ice cream in a cinnamon toast crunch if you enjoyed the burger. That's the problem. See this guy is he's Word salad. He is a word salad What if you just enjoyed the burger? When you first get in there comes this slow motion It's almost like a Burger King commercial or some sort of a burger joint commercial where they zoom in they show the pleasure Watch their eyes the pleasure of eating that burger You know how many people went out and ate a burger with no guilt after this and now they're like 10 pounds heavier Forget about it Healthy eating it can be very easy to place large red X's on some foods and green check marks on the others FYI why they see you could tell they're from a younger generation because they're using this stupid simple caveman hybroglyphics of check marks and X's from Instagram stop reading Instagram But this might not be the best long-term approach Especially if your goal isn't to just shed excess fat But to instead rediscover a love of food without shame or guilt as long as we're giving our body the nutrients It needs most of the time by the way a nice juicy steak or some nice Rare a ground beef has more vitamins and minerals than a giant bowl of these quinoa salads at these dopes eat and then they eat too much fiber and it Rushes the nutrients to their body too fast So they don't even get the benefit of having those nutrients as Jordan said focusing on eating less processed foods more fruits more We agree with less process But you got to be careful because the fruits and vegetables out there are also not meant to be eaten in mass quantities by human beings It's just industrialized nation that we live in now We can get fruit and vegetables from all over the world And that's why we're having a problem with overeating things that really weren't Made by mother nature to be overeat for vegetables and more lean protein We can indulge ourselves every once in a while. We can eat guilt-free while on vacation We can kick our feet up and have a few beers after all life can be pretty damn boring if we don't break our own rules from time to time By the way, you can have a very unboring life and you that doesn't have to involve complex food rituals and Dishes and all sorts of Selfies of taking the pictures of your food. It does not have to be that way But these people have it programmed in their mind that that's what life is all about having all these these Interwoven food moments our burgers good for you Well, they taste pretty good and for this meal. That's good enough for me Okay, that that was the end of the mats video and I He I like he I think he's a very good filmmaker, but his Script and the ideas behind this particular video were very very wrong and misleading and I think a lot of people are gonna take it hook line and sinker and say oh I can be I can be okay, and they're gonna realize or maybe never realize that a year or two or five later They're gonna say man. I didn't make any change that guy Matt was wrong He better revise his video and in his calm his concepts There are good and bad foods the best foods are our meat animal-based products and No processed foods at all and no heavy high glycemic fruits and vegetables Fruit in general like we said in the past that a blueberry here and there But there's really no need for just drink your water eat your meat, and you will be fine So that's it. I hope you enjoy my critique and if you have any problems with what I said That's fine. I I don't mind you can disagree with me But I think he's wrong and he has a lot of experience to go you don't just experience life going on Instagram and Working out a little and feeling good some people are genetically predisposed for having a pretty decent body and eating Whatever they want, but they run into big problems later on in life Internally, so that's it.

Why the narcissist will always hate you the better you perform in life The more the narcissist will hate you Especially when you reach a point when most people would give up it will only make them hate you even more But there is actually a fine line between love and hate Their emotions of love and hatred can be closely linked So you may find that they have a love-hate relationship with you and this has been scientifically proven Because the same brain circuitry is involved in both extreme emotions Some of the nervous circuits in the brain responsible for hate are the same as those that are used during the feeling of romantic love So they're actually your biggest fan But they can't bear to admit it to themselves Which is why they're so obsessed with you and it's why they can't stop hating you Because they can't stand that you are better than them in every possible way So they try to make you feel bad all day every day, but many of you may not catch on to it You may not realize why the narcissist is hating you in some situations It may even be a person who hasn't even met you But they've already engaged in passive aggressive behavior towards you So they've made it obvious that they don't like you Because they're already aware that you are a good person You're an empath So they know that you are luck for flaws in yourself They know that you will assume there must be something wrong with you because that's what empaths do They try to be better By seeing things from the other person's perspective Because they're experiencing cognitive dissonance So they want to make sense of this hate which is not wanted or needed and when you do that You may assume that you deserve to be hated and you may give up on your dreams Or the hate may motivate you It may drive you to become better, but when someone is hitting on you You need to recognize that something is wrong with them It's not you They're just projecting their flaws onto you Because they're too afraid to admit that they have flaws Which is why they will accuse you They will lay the blame on you They will claim that you have done something wrong and They will hold you responsible for everything Because they're too insecure to see you succeed in life So they will do everything in their power to bring you down Help them to move away from the pain of feeling insecure and This could be a relationship partner A family member or friend It could even be a boss or co-worker and in fact It will typically be the people closest to you who show the most hate to you Because they can't stand to see you succeed or chase your dreams Because we're influenced most by the people we're closest to So the last thing they want to see is you succeeding where they have failed It will affect them far more than if they were to see that from a complete stranger If they saw someone else do it, they wouldn't even care They wouldn't give it any attention But because it's you It will eat away at them And you will find that you become isolated from them Although people might expect that it would bring you closer to them, but it won't because they're very insecure And you have succeeded where they failed Which is reflecting something back to them It's shining a spotlight on their insecurities and deficiencies and Feeling insecure or deficient in something isn't always a bad thing It can motivate you to work hard towards something or if it's something you can't change it could be something you choose to accept But narcissists don't want to work on themselves or they feel that it's not only something they can't change But it's also something they can't accept about themselves. So instead they choose to hate on you They're like zombies They're unaware of their own thoughts and actions They don't even know why they're doing it Because they lack self-awareness But it's because they fail to do something meaningful with their lives they have nothing to feel proud of They have nothing special that they've accomplished and Yet they see you moving on and doing something with your life So they try to bring you down In an attempt to move away from the pain of not doing anything with their lives Because they see that you're happier and more successful than them They have very low self-esteem So they get jealous of other people very easily And if you're around on long enough They may eventually bring you down with them To where you're questioning yourself that you're becoming insecure And you start to look at life in the way that they do Because these the fiasse pessimistic types of people can only bring you down They can't compliment or boost your confidence in yourself Because they're not confident in themselves The very insecure They feel inferior to you So the last thing they want is for you to feel good about yourself Because that's just going to make them feel worse But they're still making a conscious and deliberate choice They may feel inferior to you And that may be something they can't control But they choose to hate That is a conscious and deliberate choice Because there is an alternative They do have another option And that would be to use your success as motivation to fulfill their own dreams But instead They choose to hate And they hate because they want to be you Or they want what you have They're your biggest fan but they will never tell you that They will never admit it They will play their role as though something is wrong with you But deep down they know the truth You're a better person than them and they know it They can't stand it Which is why they will continue to hate until the day they die Instead of choosing to do something meaningful with their lives Thank you for watching If you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up Share your thoughts in the comment section Hit the subscribe button to receive the notifications If you would like to support the channel You can donate at paypal.me.narch.surviver You can book a one on one with me on our website It's narch.surviver.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. And today for the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, we have a series first, as we delve into two Devil Fruits at the same time, with the Hebi Hebi No Mi model Anaconda, and the Hebi Hebi No Mi model King Cobra. The Hebi Hebi No Mi models Anaconda and King Cobra are both Zoan type fruits that allow their users to transform into their respective snakes, as well as a human snake hybrid. They were consumed in the series by the two Gorgon sisters who are not Boa Hancock, being Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold, and were introduced into the series at the exact same time during the Amazon Lily arc. And before we go too much further, that's why we're covering both at once. Despite the clear differences between Anacondas and King Cobra, I just cannot bring myself to divide these into two separate videos because they do both cover a lot of the same ground. Etymology this time is easy as mate, with Hebi being the Japanese word for snake, and both Anaconda and King Cobra being foreign words adopted into Japanese and used for the purpose of the models. As such, the English translation is almost as simple. Say almost due to the minor differences in zoan fruit translations between Viz and Funimation. With Viz electing to call their fruits the Snake Snake Fruit, King Cobra and Anaconda Model, whilst Funimation stays closer to the literal Japanese with the Snake Snake Fruit, Model King Cobra, and Model Anaconda. All right, let's talk snakes. And first up, it should be stated that we are jumping right to the top of the snake chain here with both the Anaconda and the King Cobra. Both of them are well renowned for being some of the world's longest snakes, and in fact, the King Cobra does hold the title for the world's longest venomous snake, and both will commonly reach lengths of over five meters, which is roughly 17 feet.  And with this, we're just talking regular Anacondas and King Cobra's rather than what the user becomes when consuming these fruits, which is significantly bigger. Now, it should be noted that both Marigold and Sandersonia are naturally massive humans and their snake forms reflect that. However, even with that scale in mind, the average human would still result in an incredibly terrifying snake giant upon consumption of either fruit. But as for which one you'd want to consume, well, let's get into some of the differences, starting with the fact that the King Cobra is venomous whilst the Anaconda is not. King Cobra venom is actually much less potent than that of smaller, deadly snakes within the world, most of whom live right here in my backyard in Australia. However, the King Cobra makes up for its lack of quality with overwhelming quantity, capable of injecting seven milliliters of venom into a body in a single bite, which is roughly enough to fill 1.5 teaspoons. The venom then directly attacks the nervous system, removing communication between nerve cells, which can lead to paralysis and death within 30 minutes. For a human anyway, for an elephant it would take something like three hours. Still, a terrifyingly achievable feat though. Let's not leave Anacondas out of this equation for too much longer, because they present a very different path and their primary advantage lies within pure strength. Being non-venomous snakes, Anacondas are left to rely on the power of constriction to survive and can produce forces of anywhere around 90 psi, being pound-force per square inch, which can be roughly equated to the force of a school bus sitting on your chest. So strength versus handy utility. This is very much a case of picky poison, quite literally in the case of the King Cobra. But to help us out a bit, let's take a look at how the Gorgon sisters have made use of their respective fruits. And as expected in the case of Sandersonia, the Anaconda user, she invokes the power of her fruit to assist in a great array of blunt-force attacks. However, she also has a particularly special use of the fruit, with a technique known as Hibigami-suki Yamatana-Orochi, whereby Sandersonia forms snakes with her newly elongated hair, actually resembling the life-return technique invoked by Kumidori to manipulate his hair. Although at this point, it is not confirmed whether or not this is the case, and there is a possibility that this is an extra benefit of the fruit itself. As for Marigold, being the more venomous of the two, her attacks are based on poison and precision, even going so far as to use her tail to stab opponents. Marigold also has a similar technique to Sandersonia, whereby she forms her hair into giant snakes. However, in a more, let's say unique choice, Marigold chooses to set herself entirely on fire first, forming an attack known as Hibigami-suki Salamander. Just in regards to the heat resistance thing, it's difficult to say whether or not this comes as a property of the devil fruit itself, but I'd be much more inclined to say that it isn't, and that it's more than likely made possible through Marigold's use of armor and harky to protect herself. Now, as for awakening, this is where things become much more terrifying, because these particular zone transformations are already just massive in scale, even if the average person were to consume it, but should they be awakened, well, then we're looking at some serious snake. And not only that, but I'd imagine that the users would have an incredibly difficult time controlling the fierce instincts that either the Anaconda or the King Cobra demand, making them a pretty huge threat to whatever unfortunate creatures just so happened to be around them in the event of an awakening. Some other miscellaneous things to consider when becoming a snake human. Whilst many other cobras choose to dine on lizards and the like, quite notably, King Cobra's are a bit more picky, and their diet consists almost exclusively of other snakes. So if you find yourself in a situation that the Gorgon sisters have, and you got the Anaconda fruit, well, I'd keep a close eye on your friend who consumed the King Cobra fruit. Rather ironically, Anacondas are generally well known for being fantastic swimmers, and in reality are able to spend up to 10 minutes underwater without surfacing for air. However, sadly, this is a strength that cannot be invoked by the user of this fruit due to the standard weakness of all devil fruits. If presented with the choice between these fruits, something you also may want to know is that King Cobra's are primarily active during the day, whilst Anacondas are mainly nocturnal. So depending on what type of person you are, one or the other would likely suit your lifestyle better. In conclusion, snakes. Look to be perfectly honest of all of the Zoans out there, I'm certainly less keen on both of these fruits. I can't deny that they bestow the users with some magnificent power, but I just don't see them being wildly useful in day-to-day life. And even if their use was strictly combat-related, which is where I believe both of them excel, they just don't seem more appealing to me personally than most other Zoan fruits we've examined. But you know, if big ol' snakes is your thing, then 10 out of 10, highly recommended. And with that, we are going to commit the heavy heavy no-me, monolanaconda, and model King Cobra to the devil fruit encyclopedia. Next week, we are leaving Amazon Lily behind in favor of the much less appealing location of Impel Down. However, we have a lot of amazing devil fruits to analyze there, beginning with the one wielded by the one-time warden himself, the doku-doku no-me.

Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. And today for the Encyclopedia, we are going to be having a devil's three-way, as we take in two rather lengthy and somewhat girthy fruits. You know, just maybe I should consider rewriting this introduction.


It's been pouring rain since like 10 p.m. last night And this is actually pretty like not that bad. I mean it was like storming storming I don't know how and it's supposed to be doing this until like 4 p.m. I just I don't know how there's so much rain This is not showing you enough, but just know there was so much.

I've been on the boat the roofers. I've been figuring out car stuff I've been figure out HOA stuff. I've been figuring out my investments I mean, I've done basically everything. I've not been wanting to do I'm putting off in the past week So honestly guys, I'm like a real adult these days. Okay. It's not fun I wouldn't recommend it at all, but the very good news I have is that I made this incredible peach chicken thing recipes on my story I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be the best thing I've ever made and it's also, you know, healthier and Just like literally the best never made not hard to make the recipes on my Instagram.  It doesn't look good, but it's very good Guys I am walking around my house Singing and I am so happy because I have finally Finally beat my number one haters, which is the HOA I have been telling them since I moved in this is their fault and they've been trying to they're always like trying to Obviously not pay for things even though it is literally their fault little background if you don't know the HOA is like the worst thing ever I mean, it can be good, but like not really. I mean whatever This is probably not a change anyone, but the HOA covers exterior things on your property And then I now have interior issues because of exterior things and very nice man, but the most kind Incredible roofing man came over just now and he found the issue on the roof immediately So just like I've been saying to the HOA it is their fault not my fault. Thank God And now I'm in the best way possible earlier today when I said, you know, this is not my money You don't want I take it all back This is my money because I finally taken down by number one hater, which is the HOA. Well, I'm sorry I might have to write a speech. I might have to write a letter. I might have to write an Acceptance speech. I could keep going and going. I've called everyone I know it's tell them but no one's answering my phone. So anyways, I'm gonna be about to work I just know today has really turned around since you guys last talked to me Right after, you know, my major triumph against the HOA which are my enemies and my bullies have only made Life so difficult. Well really to clarify. It's not people on the HOA board It's like the guy who's the head of HOA. Everyone hates him.

So that class is like seven times. So I need to go downstairs I am reading what happened to the minutes. I read Probably like half of it last night and I actually really like it. It's really like suspenseful It's freaking me out when I'm reading it Which I don't normally get scared when I read books, but like something about it is like I don't know their witness production program. It's really crazy. Oh You're the coolest man alive fits Back from boxing it was great So the rain has come back to ruin up my life again. It started raining. So obviously kick at my cars right now This is my adult schedule for today. We're people are coming in 11 My car people are to fix my windshield are coming at 12 And then I'm getting my car now.

So oh boxing was great this morning Did the 710 class feeling incredible thought I was gonna go to walk normally I go on a walk every day and that's a favorite part of the day But again, no, I love the rain but the rain and me are not friends this week But to put myself in a better mood look at me a spritanium right now I'm supposed to be shooting the new property house. I've worked this afternoon or this evening So the Sun better come out Showered it got ready and I'm about to get some work done since so much of myself got canceled today I'm hoping I have a little bit of time to read. We'll see Right my new sweats. These are a large. I probably wear a medium and a large these feeling a little bit big Like just here. So if I just like twist now, but I like how they fit around my legs better I'm gonna go through and see all the fits later And style for the shoe, but I have my coffee Ready to go. Look at how cute these are September 6 and imagine crew and the crew is incredible love Hi y'all, I just wanted to talk a little bit more about my like healthy routine This is my experience, but also in no way super form. Do I think anything should be restrictive? Like I am not saying you need to have a routine that's restrictive one It's obviously not good for you in so many ways into it's not sustainable What a healthy routine means to me in the way that I have a healthy relationship with like health overall is I just try to make sure I'm taking care of myself and listening to my body if you will But in all seriousness, like I just feel better mentally when I'm getting moving in when I'm working out I personally love working out So that is one of the things that I always use like my go-to because I genuinely enjoy it now I hate hit workouts.  I love boxing. I love hot pilates I love that stuff. I don't even really like reforma Pilates, but I really like Matt Pilates, right? So I've just found the things. Oh, I love going on walks if you have that as a workout I do um actually it is I don't know why I Just went like a walk not like a walk. Gosh. Anyways, whatever. It doesn't matter who cares. Everything is good I feel like my best self where I am the most stable and I'm the most clear-minded I have really bad anxiety So like here's the thing if I just find that if I'm cooking from home I feel better and I have a more clear brain and it also gives me that time to like unwind and relax Even if it's not like quote healthier food in whatever way that whatever that means to you Um, I've just found that something about that like is it just makes me feel so much better I also think a lot of my health and wellness and all those routines and stuff a lot of that is journaling a Lot of that is reading Um, I haven't been into meditating. I haven't gotten into it yet, but I think that that really needs to happen In my brain, I think it would be good But anyways like when it comes to like being like back on my healthy routine These are things that just make me feel better and help me so much mentally It's not restrictive like I literally had Cheetos and a copy yesterday I like, you know what I mean? I just wanted to have a little chat because this is like a healthy routine vlog But obviously there is such thing as balance and like do whatever fuels you and whatever makes you feel the best and Whatever aligns with you. You know what I mean? But don't restrict. Please not don't do that. Don't do that Okay Already making this again. It is so good I did a lot more and I have a lot more chickens from the farmers market So this is about to go in there the cover will go on and then it'll finally cook and be ready It is so good at the rest of you in my Instagram stories, but like literally unbelievable I cannot describe to you. This is the best thing I've ever made. I'm to put some looks together for tonight's shoe I have my little eye patch things on these are from your odd. I like them, but I like my loose ones better I need more of my loose ones. These I just keep bunching up like I'm not doing it, right? I'll stop coffee because I'm about to fall asleep. The sweats that I'm wearing right now These are a large and I accidentally got them, you know some stuff on them already I shouldn't have been wearing them today. My hair is still dry and I need to get ready in a second But you like large sweats With probably my Let's see.  I guess the whole time like am I gonna wear the same shoes? my green ones probably so Large XL and this will be sweats, you know, it's hard to find at the perfect oversized Vibe so if y'all are wondering for when you order on the six, this is like perfect I am gonna take this off though I will say until the shoe because I don't want to stretch it out too much. You can still see these It's cute. Okay, so these are the medium bottoms as you can see they're still just like loose and whatever I just like really loose in my sweatpants But if you are a normal person, I am a medium and he is like I feel like this would be my actual size I just like that. I'm trying to give you guys like a whole size breakdown in case And then these like fit on my butt better So I'll probably do that for those shots and maybe even I'll do like black tank top with this Sneakers for one of the looks but I'm like literally styling sneakers I mean sweatpants, but like let me live. You know what I mean? This is gonna be the last of the Brewery housewife sets and basically clothing things that I come out with the end of the year We have like a home collection coming out. That's so Good, but after that like I'm pretty much dog Brewery house. I think I was right now, so but I'm pretty sure I am I want to focus on the Oak Island like I don't want to keep I don't know I'm just like pretty sure that I am at least with like clothing So you guys will want to get this now and for everyone who always asks Like, oh my gosh, what is it re-stalking? What is it coming back like this stuff? We're not re-stalking So you need to get it Immediately thinking biker shorts a double XL. Give me a sec. Okay, and then this is for the biker shorts Look, I'm gonna wear my green new balances and this I'm wearing a double XL It's when it basically feels like a blanket. Also, I will say these are so freaking soft. I love this Also, I like got a lot of clothes and a lot of new things Recently, I know fall is the best time for my wardrobe and I'm kind of feeling some like maybe styling videos like in my ballet flat girl era Styling those clothes, you know what you mean? Um, let me know if you guys are interested I think those videos like never do well, but I would like maybe incorporate in a vlog or something I just think that it would be fun. So many ways. I'll probably just wear this the rest of the day It is so comfortable like I am going to be living in this. Oh my god I just cannot get over how cute this is. I'm so proud of it It's my favorite bread winning housewife like crew we've had if you look closely It's all bread winning housewife. It's like an astronaut who's baking who's reading and has everything in it Like the whole point is that you can be whoever you want to be and then a lot of it is like traditionally an oxymoron You know, the whole point is that it doesn't need to be an oxymoron, but traditionally speaking It would be something with bread winning. We just love all of it. It's so cute. We have money briefcases space stuff hammers sports cooking boxing Space, you know everything. It's cool Equestrian stuff aka horse stuff. All right guys, so we're gonna do a little Sephora haul I got stuff I for some reason like just never got any Sephora Sometimes I do but most of the time if I just like want to place an order I've realized that every time Sephora delivers to my house there must be something up with Sephora and my address it gets delivered to the wrong house. I don't know what's going on Then I realized Sephora is on Instacart and that just changed things. Okay. I'm giving y'all a little haul I got the tower 28th spray in the big size this stuff guys Unlabel so a few weeks ago when I saw my skin really cleared up surprise breaking out again I'm sorry for this week. So like what are you gonna do? Um, I started using the tower 28th spray and apostrophe that I have a topical cream And then I also have medication from apostrophe and within a week my skin was so clear and amazing But I didn't know if it was a tower 28 or if it was the apostrophe You're probably a combination of the two and I will say I ran out of the tower 28th spray and then all the sudden I started breaking out again a little bit not as bad as it was before so who knows because also Keep in mind I ran out this week and I'm also starting period and this is like the one week They really break out and it will say it's not nearly as bad as it normally is I wasn't on apostrophe I do think it's a combination of the two But it's not just apostrophe the tower 28th spray is amazing at Lindsay Karr is really about it I know any reasons that I will link it below It's just SOS spray daily facial spray you sprayed on when you're having breakouts and I'm not kidding I skin looks incredible. It clears it up I don't know what kind of bushcraft they put in this product, but it is the best thing I've ever used So you guys need to try it out low screen again. This is my all-time holy drill. I'm not exaggerating. This is probably I would say like my 20th or 30th bottle maybe even more. I've been using it for years. Is it like first came out? And I like the golden hour one what I love so much about glow screen is that it is one sunscreen and two It gives you this beautiful glow and it blurs your skin out a little bit So if you're someone who it doesn't wear a time makeup, but you want something that just makes your skin Look good when you're not wearing makeup basically, but it's not really like a tinted moisturizer It just is a product the sunscreen itself just makes your skin look good So this one is just like a paler complexion more normal like works for me normally But when I self tan I feel like my face is always a little bit lighter than the rest of my body So I really like the golden hour tent because the golden hour tent makes my face match the rest of my body better So I really like that So I did the golden hour one and then I also got new shampoo and conditioner I've never tried this, but I mean I tried the brand love the brand honey. Kershaw's Kershaw. I don't know I like the brand a lot and my sister does too and she is in her stylist Hmm, I got the discipline line for some reason I thought I got one that made your hair look really smooth and shiny I want to Austria's hair disembarking every day because I've never seen such beautiful silky shiny hair Actually, I should have asked for a front-shoot. Thank you. She's a hair hair routine. I'm telling you. She's the best hair It's like so beautiful So now I want all the shine products so that I can look like her, you know and my hair can look like her So now I'm gonna dry my hair and do my makeup and I'm finally saying a little bit of weight And I'm gonna film a book video today. I'm my second coffee here. We are I'm not kidding I think whenever the crew that go on it's when I go on such a good mood I So I didn't do this well. I just put on the glow screen with The golden hour tent I'm putting makeup on over this. I was just like throwing it on really quickly I don't know if you can even tell it before and after like it first off it matches my space to my neck But it also makes your skin glow and it gives you this nice little blur So it's great. I'll link it below if you guys haven't I mean I'm sure How many y'all when you guys actually start watching videos was the first video and like even in college I was using glow screen and not I mean it was only two years ago But that feels like it was like ten years ago. It feels like a decade ago in my life Okay, I finished filming my book video and now I'm about to go shoot the revenue house life merch I'm gonna go get a tea first because I need a Starbucks cup as a prop And I also just like want to go to Starbucks. Um, just giving all a little close-up again of the crew It's so cute. Also my room. It's just so cozy these days like feels so good, you know the lip combo that I'm wearing currently it is the rare beauty lip liner in lively I Love this look why don't you because it's just a twist instead of Doesn't need a sharpener, obviously And then I've been using the Laura Mercier lip gloss and this is in cream caramel caramel The consistency of this is so good too. It's just the best. So anyways, I'm heading out I'm pretending it's fall and I'm getting a chai Sorry. Thank you. Have a good day. It is fall to me guys Wow, I just finished shooting the new set. It only took us like four minutes It is hot Not four minutes 40 minutes. I shot with Heather. I always use in Dallas.

Let me tell you just took off my makeup I am clearly very harsh because every time I take off my makeup It looks like I've been crying for three years. So Tower 28 spray This needs to dry a little bit and then I don't put my topical cream on from apostrophe Wow, my eyes are watering not from the spray up because of myself Now I'm putting my apostrophe topical cream on I'm crying show it this way thumbnail kidding kidding kind of I like can't even laugh right now because Just getting worse. I just wanted to say I'm getting like My footing back with YouTube. I have expressed that over the summer. I was feeling very down Very negative like oh, no one even cares. I should stop posting.  I'm excited to film again. I'm liking the videos I'm feeling good about them. So many videos. I've been loving and I feel like I was being dramatic And you guys are obviously here watching the video.

Oh, I finished the book Where did the minutes go or what happened to the minutes what happens to the minutes so good unlike any book I've read before follows this family that gets into this weird accident and it's posed to you by chance their daughter dies it's like immediately in the book and Then because they've seen what they've seen they have to go into witness production program and then there's a lot of twist It's very good. I would write it like four stars Well best class ever it is so much fun and now I'm going to restore hyper wellness on a time Which is my favorite time ever and I'm not kidding guys infrared saunas Once you start doing it your body craves it and nothing makes you feel better. I just like I love it so much All right, I'm in the sauna. I don't leave my camera in here. Don't worry But it isn't the most relaxing Best thing ever I go to restore hyper wellness in the West Village, but like There's nothing I love more than this infrared sauna I used to do infrared all the time in LA and then I did it when I was in Asheville And then I like haven't found a place here that I loved yet. I Love this place. It is so perfect also I'm gonna say that goes breaking out yesterday use the tower 20 It's bright and I'm gonna send infrared and like my stuff's already gone down so much and then for it helps so much So anyways, I'm gonna read I'm home, and I've showered and I just ordered my favorite lunch I was craving it. It's the hot chicken plate from sweet green. It is so good I saw this package downstairs and Tacobas just sent me a pair of cowl boots. Yes. I'm sent PR a lot This means the world to me also stony clover came and I put it on tech talk today Literally cutest of ever. This means a lot to me because I love Tacobas Obviously, I love cowboy boots, and I feel like how about companies just like don't really do a lot of stuff in like digital spaces, but I am so excited. Okay, I had a meeting Get canceled. So I have a little bit of extra time today And I'm gonna to plan out some outfits because this makes me Just feel a little less stress for days that are like really busy And I know I want to wear this revolved top on Friday. It's like I'm gonna wear it with the open pants and heels So let's see. I don't know if I can wear them with the Dallas pants though because They might be like I don't know both of the things being bad. You look good. I kind of feel like they will We're going to carbone on Friday night for the first time in Dallas So I'm really excited if you guys didn't know carbone at the very famous restaurant in New York the major food group major food group it We have one in Dallas now, and we have Vino, which is easier to get into when we're going to the normal one I got this reservation like a month ago. It's like impossible to get these reservations right now Okay. Oh Also, I might realtor came over and we filmed a ton of questions answering No, we filmed a ton of TikToks answering questions about living in Dallas So that's all my TikTok can do the text in and then I have a full videos too about moving to Dallas that we filmed Okay, so tomorrow night I have an event at the whip and before that I'm going with Lauren to her appointment at 4 30 so I need stuff that will withstand I might be wearing the Ryan set because Like that can withstand all of it. It's easy and then I can throw on my bag It's easy cozy got no problem. We'd be the vibe I'm so ready for fall because I have such good outfits So many good things to wear. I think We don't know what shoes I'm gonna wear these okay I depends on my vibe tomorrow and what I'm wanting, but I could also wear Like this white button down. Oh, I could do a full white on white look which I was Considering last weekend, but the issue is that I'm self tanning tonight. So that's probably not really the vibe, but maybe I'll do Just normal jeans white button down this one looks Actually, no, that's a good size white button down and the new balances It'll just depends on my vibe. I'll probably still choose the mindset because It's lighter and it will probably be hot at least still Also, I feel so bad for a little coconut. Oh look how cute. She looks Guys because You look so sweet The people have been working outside the house all day and then whatever noise they're making it's making her shake So she looks so beautiful here though coconut. Oh My gosh, I could cry every time I walk into my room I'm just so excited for it to be evening so I can come in here because it is so cozy right now But I saw him to talk the other day Someone was applying their self tanner with like medical gloves and not a tanning mitt Because the tanning mitt absorbs a lot of the product so you get a better tan with them like plastic gloves, you know So I got someone Amazon and I'm gonna try and see if that makes my tan go on any better. It's already 515 so it's time to get my night routine going y'all, you know me and my night routine especially in the fall And I would like to start a new book. I'm really just Feeling cozy feeling at home, and I'm convinced is because my new bedding is just I mean it's just so good Okay, it is a bit later. I've tanned update on the glove I don't know. Maybe I was putting too much tanner on but it was just like a little bit Much so I did apply it off my body, but I thought it was still streaky So then I like brushed over it with my mitt Just move it out and then I think it looks a lot better. I bet there's probably more product on Maybe that's the vibe. I guess we'll see Speaking of self tanners actually this book just came in the burner journal I've been like getting into writing and stuff and I've heard people recommend this so pick that up Then I also saw one of my friends shared this on her Instagram story Lili the other day It's this like tanning basically like sleeping bag for your self tanner So normally when I self tan like my sheets will just get what up messed up Whatever and I'll use a different pillow all of this stuff goes over there obviously, and I just self tan I have a white bed, but I'm gonna try this out today either way, I don't need a different pillow because I Have one, but okay. Let's see. I got one Amazon. So I'll link it below Okay, I don't know how this works. Which way is which? Okay, it is literally a sleeping bag and then this goes over so in case your arms go over which is nice I will keep you all posted because I feel like this is actually a really good invention Love that. All right y'all. I look wild because I just tanned. Just wanted to say I'm feeling so good Since incorporating a few things back into my routine in the recent months. I've been feeling really sluggish Really tired just not really like in my body almost just like not fully there and then I started Incorporating more walks and then weightlifting a boxing and I've been cooking a lot from home and a combination of all of those things And also like I've traveled on almost two weeks. I think that's probably helped But a combination of those things has just made me feel so good like I feel way more present I feel really like my mind is super clear. I feel a lot more like level headed Not as like emotional kind of like off the line. I don't know I feel like before I just felt so tired all the time and I feel so good and so strong And I'm having like the most fun working out right now Which like at the end of the day is all the matters to me with when it comes to working out I'm one of those weirdos that genuinely just like loves going to work out I don't have all workouts by the way not at all. I don't like it I don't like running and I don't know There are definitely more workouts out there that I don't like that. I just haven't done is my point I do like hop Pilates on a mat like Matt Pilates, and I for former is like, okay I'm not a huge for a person like when I go to the class all I'm thinking about is like when it's over And I just like don't enjoy it as much. I do like solid core like there are certain studios that I do like But not as much. I don't know depends like I do like solid core, but I prefer Heated Matt Pilates, and then I love boxing, and I will say ding ding and Dallas I've been to all the boxing studios, and I like them I've been to like every popular one and then a bunch of LA and I by far prefer ding ding It's my favorite boxing gym ever ever been to and then weightlifting is something that I've incorporated It's so funny because my new class right now. I don't know if y'all did like sports in middle school or high school Obviously, we're still we call it athletics like you don't think you're athletics period Which would be basically like PE class, but like working out And you would go to the weight room, right and this morning when I was in my like weightlifting class I'm like this is like literally athletics in middle school, but harder and like more fun And I didn't like athletics in middle school So take that with a great assault because I love this class that fits social. It's like the most Welcoming friendly class. It's not overwhelming. It's not confusing.  I know but like I just feel so Good, and I haven't felt so good in so long. So that is all I wanted to say movement for me is something that just like Improves so drastically my mental health and so I even when I was like this summer was going through a hard time I was still working out I just like needed to maybe change it up a little bit and like add in some other stuff and whatever I don't know. Also, I just someone I'm sad is so bad for me And it's just improved my relationship with myself and my confidence a lot not enough from like a physical aspect or more of a I live by the mentality that you Confidence is trust so you need trust in yourself. Basically confidence is built by making promises to yourself and keeping them So when I make these like morning dates with myself every day where I'm gonna go do this work I'm needed this like over time I just am like gaining confidence because I'm getting trust to myself because I'm making promises to myself and keeping them I do that a lot of other ways to not just like working out is just working out is one of those things that I genuinely enjoy So that's why I do it and it's just like I would I'm a much better person when I'm doing that. So Anyways, I'm really so much better. I was watching a little bit of booktube I mean dinner and Now I'm gonna start on the last couple books that have a calling hoover is because I want to film a Ready-calling hoover's book and I'm gonna do an entire video when I'm back Spending the whole day reading and I'm very excited because like all these booktubers like why didn't I start that in 2020? Why wasn't I doing that? I didn't think anyone want to watch that like now.  Good morning guys. I just woke up put my clothes on I'm going to go the bodies later, but I think I'm gonna go to Starbucks this morning and I don't know work to a master class or something like that. So this is my outfits My new white tank top for Aritzia. By the way, I love this cut I'm really glad I got it and then I just have a matching set actors set on sweater and then just some slides And this is my morning outfit going into Pilates. I started another colleague Hoover book last night It's in the hopeless series or no No, it wasn't in the slam series and I hadn't run the last one But it's like basically the same story because it's just like from a different perspective So I would recommend if you're gonna read those like spreading those out. Anyways, I do do that I think I'm gonna show up a series. There's a few more which will be coming soon in a vlog Look at how beautiful these dogs are by the way Do you guys like seeing the dogs and vlogs because I just saw this tiktok from this person She's like really negative and she was like no one cares about seeing your kids or your dogs And I try not to post them too much But then when I don't post them in vlogs because they're always at my feet so you don't see them then I get comments So let me know let's talk about the topic of being a hater because I woke up to this tiktok that I saw There's this like cockroach and Alice and everyone does it's really cool. It's great. You can make friends. Whatever and Someone like made a rude tiktok about it and it's just like What are you getting from that and then I saw more negative tiktoks of people who does have like such negative opinions of everyone else and it's like Why like I don't know I just like such wasted energy and also like says so much about you like if any of my friends were saying that stuff on the internet I would literally be so humiliated. I wouldn't even be friends with them anymore Like I just I don't know just let people do what they want to do be a nice person Just because it's not your thing doesn't mean it's not a cool thing People have different tastes just because you like something or you like someone doesn't mean that someone else liking something else is Wrong or them not liking that like we just have different preferences.  It's like They like to go on a walk my point being that like you literally cannot win on the internet these days even my Dallas tiktoks Yesterday, I was getting like a ripped apart. I deleted two of them because I was like, oh my god Like people and it was literally about like median rent prices from a realtor So I was like, what do you want for me and people are trying to fight that and they're mad I'm like, I'm not gonna make Dallas content then if you guys are wanted it, but I'm not gonna do it because you guys are mean so Anyways, I'm good morning. We're gonna have a great day. It's Thursday morning Which means there's a new world's first podcast and any podcast of mine and it's a solo episode Title you're not behind and I'm listing off people who like gain success later in life She's going crazy.

I'm really excited because I got this box after a saga of travelling across continental US, across the Pacific, across all over Australia and it finally got to me. But this is a new Parkhurst boot, it's actually a sample, it's not even in production yet, it's a stitch down sample that Parkhurst is trialling. So keep watching and I'll tell you what I think. Good day, welcome to Brutalosophy and if you're new here, my name is Tech. I acknowledge the Wajik people who are the traditional custodians of the lands that I live on. Now I'm really excited because this is a box that's arrived which is the Parkhurst stitch down sample with Italian tempesti leather. It's been made in Portugal and I think the production release is scheduled for sometime in the northern summer this year but there are apparently some issues that Andrew wants to finish off in the design and the lasting and so on before he does the production. So let's open the box. So here we go. Now one thing about Parkhurst is that Andrew's shipping box is actually the shoe box, there's nothing, no other box inside. There we go. As usual, a spare set of laces, I'm assuming there's laces on the boot. A thank you card from Andrew and the shipping information. New tissue paper to protect the boots which are protected by boot bag anyway. So it's good to see that Andrew's gone back to the old Parkhurst boot bag rather than the unbranded ones that I've had in the last couple of boots. Oh and there you go. Italian tempesti leather. This is I guess strictly speaking the the Allen model from Parkhurst because there's no cap toe but I understand it's a new last. It is based on the 602 last but it's not even the 602M. I think there are some subtle differences to it. You can see a much rounder toe, much broader rounder toe and Andrew tells me he's still experimenting with it. This is not the final version of the last and I think that's really exciting. From what I can see it's been really well put together. This is a stitch down model, 270 degrees stitch down. You can see the double stitch down happening there. All of Andrew's models until now have been Goodyear weltered and usually 360 degree Goodyear weltered with a reverse split reverse welt. But in this case it's stitch down which means that the front three quarters of the boot the uppers are lasted over the last and then the bottom edge is splayed out and is sewn directly into the midsole. One stitch of it goes into the midsole and the other stitch goes right through to the outsole and you can see that stitching there. While we're on the outsole, this is I'm not sure if this light you can see the logo, this is a Parkhurst proprietary lug sole. Andrew tells me that he's had tremendous problems in the past because of the combination last that he uses with the 602 in particular that the branded lasts don't really fit sorry the branded soles don't fit his last because it's very hard to center them apparently they're made for a normal boot last and because he's a narrow and wide they kind of get off center whether he's using Ridgeway or Vibram. So he's actually had to make his own proprietary outsoles in order to fit his lasts and as you can see it's not a particularly thick lug it's quite low profile and it's inboard from the edge of the boot so I think it sort of hides the fact that this is a rugged outsole. From what I can see of the stitching look it is hand stitched in Portugal in a new factory that Andrew's trying out but I guess you can see it starts as reasonably even and then it does kind of sort of go a little bit uneven here but you know it's handmade I guess if you take that on board the stitch density what's that an inch the stitch density is pretty good even on that side where it's not particularly parallel on this side what's roughly an inch it's much more even than the stitch density is really pretty good the leather feels I think it's about I think it's a little over two millimeters thick from feel I'll get it measured at some stage but it has a slightly oily matte effect so on touch it feels very similar to the Red Wings harness leathers you get that slightly oily feel but this is a veg 10 leather so it's a little firmer in temper not as as flexible has a reasonably good pull-up that has a nice effect I think this will patina quite nicely being a veg 10 and in dark brown it shouldn't stain the boot is unlined in the shaft although it has that backing and you can see it's made in Portugal and it is it yeah it's lined in the vamp with a kind of smooth grain leather the tongue is semi-gusseted up to the last eyelet so that's quite good stops it slipping and it has a certain water resistance up to the eyelets talking about hardware one two three four five eyelets and three speed hooks they feel pretty sturdy oh I see the backing of the eyelets is washing and it's just pressed at the speed hooks but I can't feel any rough edges so that's is quite nicely constructed that way stitching from what I can see is pretty good quite parallel double stitch quite parallel quadruple stitch maybe a little waiver but it's it's look it's neat it's clean and I wouldn't complain on a boot like this this is not exactly a Crockett and Jones dress boot and it's not meant to be you can see you know the thickness of the leather it's it's I think it's going to be quite firm it's going to be interesting I'm feeling foot the laces this is new from Parkhurst leather not raw hide dark on both sides by the feel of it it's slightly stretchy I think this might be lettigo or lettego leather I'm not sure I'm a fan of these laces I might change them over for a different set of leather laces or I might even use it I might even put these in what do you think okay so let's take a look at the other boot so again the immediate thing you smell is that that quite vegetative veg tan leather smell it smells I don't know it smells a bark tree bark pretty thick what looks like potentially a double leather midsole before you get the proprietary rubber sole and then stacked leather heel with a top lift from my understanding is Andrew finishes off the boots himself in his basement by nailing on the the heels so the stacked leather heel by the feel of the heel counter I can't tell whether it's leather but it actually feels it has to give of leather oh the topof is definitely salastic I think because it's quite it gives and it pops single piece backstay boondocker style very nice very nice quarter panels terrific okay let's try these on feet all right let's get these on for you this is the part of my first impressions videos that I'm always concerned because I take 10 minutes to struggle to get into these boots but no they slipped in perfectly first impression of the feel is very similar to the 602 last Andrew told me he hasn't actually got a name for this new last yet but it is a derivation of the 602M and it feels fairly similar hmm the laces are long they're slightly stretchy which is I have other pairs of latigo latigo laces and I'm not a huge fan because they're a bit stretchy that feels quite good tied on in terms of sizing these are made in Portugal as I said earlier and obviously part of Europe they use the European sizing system you know 41 42 43 and translate into the English these are actually a size seven and a half now my immediate suspicion and I asked Andrew was whether these were European sizing and of course they are which means that seven and a half UK is equivalent to eight and a half US so that means these are true to size at eight and a half US or my UK size seven and a half UK which means I think they're true to size at 41.5 European now sizing is confusing Andrew has said that in production he will be getting them to be called the same sort of sizing that he uses on his Spanish boots which is the American sizing numbers they definitely feel good nice and roomy in the ball of the toe a ball of the foot the toes have sufficient room just kind of wriggle the heel feels locked in so seven and a half in these Portuguese Parker stitch downs is easily equivalent to an eight in his normal Spanish boots Spanish made boots the leather is a full veg tan burgundy leather from Tempesti in Italy Andrew thinks that he's going to produce using Tempesti leathers different types of leathers he says they make some really good stuff and a good amount of the relaunch that he's had over the this last year has been how to diversify and try new things so this is good I'll just read a little thing here from Andrew when he talks about production these will be made in Portugal he says the factory there has the machinery to do the double knee row stitch down and no other factory globally with whom I have spoken that's Andrew has the machinery cutting technology or the experienced workers to do it or to make boots for me on a production scale as he says unfortunately not no one factory can make everything 100% so he does the finishing touches like burnishing sanding heel pad cutting and gluing done in his warehouse by himself and he he he says that much of the connection here in Europe between factories is actually everyone knows everyone so as things are required they actually refer him to other factories who can do this but certainly the fit is good the feel is good the leather is quite a firm temper and I think it's going to be very sturdy the comfort underfoot is really good so you know the what I saw is as a double leather midsole I think is really going to help as your feet mold into shape okay so there you are I'll bring you a full review after I've worn these for a few months so until then let's go to the summer okay so there you go I hope you like my unboxing and my initial impressions the the last is a little bit of a surprise because I think it's a bit more rounded than the 602 and therefore if I stand and look down it kind of looks spade like but it doesn't it doesn't feel that way it feels nice so Andrew's got a few things he has to do for production I and I do believe he's trying to schedule for a late northern summer release so that's going to be very interesting I think check the website below it is an affiliate link so if you buy something through that I will get a little bit of a I think it's a six percent kick back helps defray the cost of the channel look hope you look as usual after I wear this for a few months I will bring you a full review of them now these are samples so whatever I say that might have gone wrong with them might have been improved by production and maybe production might change quite a few things as well but I will bring them to you at least as a pair of sample boots to see what I think of them after wearing them
