Okay, here we go. Finally. We're live Thank you for joining another impromptu live hangout Q&A Here on a weekend geek. It's your boy Gio Hopefully everything is running smoothly I don't have the little pop-up that I tried to mess around with on The last stream. I don't have it with me to be honest. It was a busy week. I didn't get a chance to work on it But change the layout a little bit make it a little bit more to my style and liking So yes, welcome everybody Brian a coup PS viewer Travis James all Wonderful people that I love. Thank you so much for tuning in This I don't know how long this is going to be. Hopefully it's not too long. Otherwise my voice will go out But I'm excited to be here.  Maybe once we who knows we'll see how it goes but so far So far so good. So today I Don't really have a set topic But at the last minute, I remembered a couple things that I wanted to chat about Hopefully you guys are aware of some stuff that's happening On the realm of any tuber land if you will so I'm gonna chat about that I don't know all the specifics, but we're gonna go over the article courtesy of Kotaku and I read about it on Twitter and I got involved Excuse me and I got involved with it on Twitter and started retweeting stuff and sharing But we'll see we'll talk about it in a little bit PS viewer says usually I am asleep at this hour, but I watched the turtles Did you like that movie? Let me know in the common. Let me know in the chat PS viewer because I was not really a fan of it I like like 10% or 20% of it It looked great. It looked gorgeous. I mean wonderful cinematography and look to it But the plot and a couple of issues that I had with it. I don't know. It wasn't really my cup of tea So We got that and I have it open here on a second tab if you guys want me to stream just a little bit of Like always keep messing up the name You guys remember a couple months back. I played a little bit of doki-doki on this I'm not gonna do the same thing I was just being funny and started reading out the lot of the dialogue and whatever and I'm not gonna do a full playthrough But if you guys want me to play because I know that that's a thing that People want to see the reactions when somebody plays that game for the first time I only played it that one time and I know like some messed up stuff happens Later on in the game. So if you guys want to do that, maybe the final 30 minutes, let me know Brian says you excited for the new Batman film next month. I'm not gonna go see it in theaters I'm gonna wait for HBO Max, but yes, I'm excited little intimidating almost at three hours, right, but I'm excited to watch because finally a Proper Riddler right the Riddler is my favorite Batman villain. So I'm really excited about that Although he's more like a zodiac mass murderer killer, but whatever Let me enlarge this chat box a little bit Yeah, there we go Perfect beautiful look at that. Okay. Now I can see a little bit better again I can't highlight the comments tonight, but I can read them off and so can you Not sure I felt next maybe do a stream on it tomorrow. Are you gonna do a stream on it? Nice. Yeah, go for it. Be sure to do the hashtag so in the description so people can find it later and all that stuff James says some blu-ray news. There's a Kickstarter for Obon Star Racers Obon Star Racers anime series for its 15th anniversary. Nice. I did not know that. Can you send me the link for that? Sorry, can you send me the link for that? Also, I was supposed to have a video of this past week, but I totally forgot or not. I didn't forget I Had to suspend the recording But look out for a first impressions video on Frideren Beyond Journey's End I wanted to wait for volume two and three, but I Read it and really liked it and wanted to do like if you've watched my channel. I do the first impressions on on New manga series that start out on the Viz app for Shonen Jump and I wanted to translate that to this thing over here for Small Tonkobons and I I really love this volume and I can't wait to keep reading it spoilers I really liked it, but yeah, really solid wonderful book with great art I have volume two on the way hasn't arrived yet and also Little sneak peek I'm cooking up a really cool manga discussion video for Omnibros live with my fellow Omnibros Riley the Omnibus collector for cooking up something really nice. I Can't say what it is yet, but it's gonna be a cool show and something that I am very passionate about so Yeah, look forward to that So Frideren or however you pronounce it that's coming out this week and I'm currently in the middle of Working on a video for this something planets is something that I've been wanting to check out For ages and I finally own it and I'm reading it and it's great I got inspired by it because of the news that We're gonna lose the International Space Station, and I'm a huge fanboy of space and space news and all that stuff so I was a Little disappointed, but you know, I get it It's lived past its due right so it's time to you plunge it into the Nemo point if I remember correctly Over at the Pacific so that's gonna be sad so I'm working on those two videos for you guys and What's the other one? Oh? Yeah, yeah, this I have not made a video on this yet I Read this a while ago and totally slipped my mind to make a video on Ito's censor It's probably gonna be a lot different from everybody else and what they thought of the book is I Didn't really love it as much as other people did or maybe I'm in the minority here I thought it was just it was just okay, but I'll go more in-depth on on the YouTube video Whenever that is I don't know Why we're losing the space station the ISS? It was supposed to run for 15 years, but they were able to or are able to extend its life to 30 years and it's already showing its where and they're gonna Commercial they're gonna commercialize space stations and private companies are gonna build their own Sanctioned by NASA and all that fun stuff. So future capitalism. Yay So the old one instead of leaving it there to rock in space for a forever they're gonna dunk it in the ocean to the Space station graveyard in the middle of the Pacific the Nemo point which is in between New Zealand and Chile in South America all the way down there and that's going to be supposedly by 2030 or 2031 something like that it could be before that because the Outside the space station it has considerable where and there are cracks and all that stuff. So who knows what'll happen But that is going to be a bummer on the other hand If you know if you read manga if you read comics if you watch movies about space and Futuristic stuff This is where we're headed and I love the idea that all that fictional stuff It's coming true and we're gonna get commercialized space stations and all that stuff. So yay Okay, let me do a little test here. I'm gonna share my screen here for a bit Screen-sharing. All right, so it is working perfect. Okay, we're gonna talk about that in a second Obon star racers anime is what I'm looking for Kickstarter, right? Kickstarter. Oh, I see it now Okay, how do I how do I share this? Oh, that's easy. I just do this Do it It should work Okay, so if I do the screen-sharing There we go. See I'm learning. I'm learning. This is fun. I'm digging. I'm digging OBS and all that stuff So this is let's release this unique anime series on Blu-ray and its original HD format and encourage the development of new projects Cool, okay Six stretch goal has been reached now on to the next. Okay Interesting Yeah, I'll read this later more in depth But that's cool As long as you're able to preserve all these shows and all that stuff I'm all up for it. Even if I don't back the project, but it's already been back So it's all good. Look at that two hundred thousand dollars out of the proposed thirty four thousand. That's insane Yeah, thank you James. Thank you. Got it. I Saw that you sent me the link, but yeah, I was able to Google it real time. Yay so Before we talk about the anime thing What was the I Two weeks ago was it or three that I wanted to do the anime First impression spaces on and this goes hand-in-hand with the Kotaku article I wanted to do a hands-on first impression for the winter 2021 Anime season and in that video. I had a faulty modem and the internet It was not meant to be I only streamed like five minutes before it got me off I was making a point in that video talking about I was talking about famous anti-tubers and how Before season starts. They'll either do a video like a preview and Oh this I'm gonna watch this this this and that and then you'll have another one type another type of video that after a week or Two you already have a review for the season. I'm like guys. You can't review an anime season with just two weeks worth of Material I'm sorry. Yes at some point a lot of anime shows become predictable And you can pretty much guess the tropes and where it's gonna go And you kind of know if it's gonna be a good one or not, but it can surprise you and I was really upset and I guess triggered by it.  It's usually pretty long It's usually like around a 20 to 30 minute mark, but I go through each show and briefly discuss what I thought of it It's obviously not super in depth because we're talking about everything at once And I'd go pretty mad if I go in depth with like 20 different shows Fortunately this season the winter 2022 yeah winter 2022 is It's just okay Not a lot of standouts. I thought I was watching like 13 different shows, but turns out I'm watching Around 20 which it feels less because Last year all four seasons. I had a minimum of 24 to 25 Shows that I was watching at the same time. However in my defense This season has a lot of returning shows from last year So yeah less than 20 new shows that I'm streaming and there are a couple more that I want to watch I just need to find the time because they're on platforms that I don't frequent as much Like if I go to my any list for example here, I'm currently watching Demon Slayer season 2 which is wrapping up in two weeks Attack on Titan final season part 2 which has been stellar so far with four episodes in I think out of 16 tribe 9 Which is an extreme baseball? Anime and that is so ridiculous that I absolutely love it and I highly recommend that you guys watch Princess Connect read dive season 2 Sabikui Bisco in The land of laydale. I hope I said that right police in a pond Orient Tokyo 24th Ward Shaman King Ranking of Kings is back Platinum and is back or same as Shaman King World's end harem Dragon Quest adventure of die is back Yasha he makes back for you know continuing that season 2 my dress up darling acabee acabees sailor uniform Digimon ghost game is back and 86 season 2 has yet to finish. It's the final two episodes will air in 34 days, that's insane And I saw that Netflix had orbital children. I think that's the name of it I need to watch that it looks pretty interesting, but again, I'm not I don't like using Netflix. I friend of mine Let me his account, but I rarely use it. I just not not a huge fan of Netflix. Sorry So out of all of that Out of all of that give me a second here Got way too many windows open and I'm currently trying to Set up a second monitor. It's been taking me a while But that's something I want to do for these streams because right now I have one two three four five six seven eight Nine two I got ten Windows open right now, so it's a little hectic on my end So out of the shows that I'm watching I Would say Worth while that's brand new not returning shows because obviously I would recommend die and ranking of kings Those are the best ones, but from the new stuff that I'm watching. I Really do recommend. There's not a whole lot. Honestly tribe nine my dress-up darling and Oh and Sabik we bisco I don't recommend fully princess connect redive because it's a season two You would have to go back and watch season one, but it's still a fun show and this new one has like S-tier animation, which just blew my frickin mind. I was not expecting that each episode I swear you're looking at a full-fledged movie Condensed into 22 minutes. It's that type of animation. I I'm in love with this show I loved season one. I thought it was cute and funny and charming It aired back in spring of 2020 But this new one is just insane I don't know if you guys are up to date with that stuff, but I highly recommend it just on an artistic merit along I'm trying to share the I can't share the page. I don't think I can Dang it well, you can just hear my voice talking about it, right? So a demon slayer has been great, but I think hmm, sorry I Think at 11 episodes that story could have easily have been condensed to another movie It's not that complicated of an arc literally they go to the red Red light district and they're looking for one of the high-ranking demons. They find it and they start fighting it Something happens at the end of it and the arc ends I'm not gonna reveal what happens at the end, but they fight it and something happens pretty Major and and it ends and we move on to the next story arc I don't think that needed 11 episodes to animate So it's really frustrating. They really stretched out that fight and it's gorgeous It's better animated than Moog and Train and season one if you can believe it by 11 episodes That's that's too much in my opinion And you could make the argument. Oh, you're giving more time more screen time for the new characters and all that stuff But you don't really need it in my opinion And There was another show Honestly What was it? Don't it happened recently with another show that I thought could have been condensed, but whatever I'll remember it later Attack on Titan is pretty interesting. I think I Think it started off fantastic and each episode has just been stellar Mapa has been killing it taking over from wood studio I was so pumped up that I went ahead and finished reading the manga as a result I'm like, I can't wait because I I love the show more than the manga for the art and I've always read the manga sort of like a last-minute thing or on the back burner and I never really I never really did anything with it, but I was watching the new episodes the first four I'm like, no, I cannot wait. I can't wait week to week to find out what happens So I read off what I was missing which was like a final Five volumes and it was it was solid. I really enjoyed the The manga I don't understand why people were upset I mean, I do but like I thought it was a solid finale in my opinion. I don't know PS viewer I wish the site I used to get my movies and TV shows at anime I looked up cowboy bebop and all they had was the Netflix show the site I use is the audio only and describes the movie out loud. Got you I Wish I could help you there, but I have no idea. Sorry. I Don't James says I don't like using the Funimation app. It's horrible on Android. They need a new layout also the app Drain's battery fast I'm waiting for the merger. That's gonna be great because we're gonna get an expanded library I mean, I only have crunchy roll but adding all that Funimation stuff is gonna be great And I can watch a few shows that I haven't watched yet But at the same time I'm conflicted because One of the two is gonna lose its identity, right? Or they're gonna erase both images Not images, what do you call it both IPs their public image will be lost and you're gonna form something new I don't know. I mean Everybody knows about crunchy roll. Everybody knows that if you want to stream anime you got a crunchy roll They've sort of earned that because they were one of the first ones, right? So it's gonna be really weird. I hope it's Funimation that drops the name And they become something else. I don't know like mega roll that that makes no sense either Not up to date because I cannot find descriptive That I feel for you that must suck I can't even begin to comprehend that and the frustration behind that not being able to enjoy shows or You know not being able to find shows To fit your your need Hopefully they do work that out So speaking a little bit more to end the conversation on the season Uh Let's see talked about attack on Titan tribe nine like I said earlier Just it's such a dumb premise It's so dumb guys. It says it's on Funimation if you want to check it out in Neo Tokyo Dissolution to youth forum tribes that battle each other in an intense game called Extreme baseball one night two kids Haru shirogane and taiga meet the strongest Extreme baseball player shun kamia How do and taiga join shun's group the minato tribe to play this cutthroat game Against a mysterious man who has begun taking control of all the tribes and they defeat him before it's too late the animations The actual animation of it is not the best thing in the world, but it has great character designs because they're done by What's this guy the one that did Duncan Rumpa? I mean Google it here from for a second She might do it. Oh, is that his name she might do it. Yeah, he worked on Duncan Rumpa same with the creator that worked on Then gun Rumpa and Akudama Drive and a bunch of other anime and It definitely has that flavor you look at the visual the key visual and it just screams Dangan Rumpa and punkish Or cyberpunk.  I don't know and the ball you send the ball flying across the city and The runner has to go to first base for example and The first baseman will try and get that ball and in order to Get that out He literally has to tag you violently and punch you and you get into a fight And then you do the same thing over and over until you know the rules of baseball basically But it's so crazy that They're literally playing a game of extreme baseball all across the city across Buildings and they're leaping and and jumping in different areas and using platforms and the whole city is filled with neon lights Which I really like that aesthetic. I love neon lights So it's the type of silly show that that I can just switch my brain off when I watch it The other one I talked about Princess Kanaik Redive Sabik we visco surprised me I didn't know what to expect because it's done by It's an adaptation of both a light novel and a manga, but it is drawn by What's the studio name here? Oz studios and this is their first ever work. So it's a brand new studio creating anime and It for the most part it looks solid. I was really impressed by it and the actions are some of the characters It's got that steampunk vibe to it Like a kudama drive desert punk Stuff like Dorohedoro comes to mind It has that aesthetic it's in a post-apocalyptic Japan and Everything's basically a wasteland and everything's infected by rust and they and the main protagonist that stuff and He goes into a city and finds Another character who's a doctor and they team up and all that stuff It has that punkish vibe that I think a lot of people will enjoy So I do recommend watching that The other one that I wanted to talk about In the land of Lidale or however you pronounce it. It's an isekai. It has a it has a fun premise basically this Older woman she plays a MMO JRPG thingamajig online and She is I don't think they revealed what disease it was, but she's in bed After a tragic accident she's put on live support and She can only play what is it VR MMO RPG? that's what it is and The medical system fails and the support system is shut off So she dies but her consciousness is in the game Many years into the future of the game where now Some of it has been abandoned and like the game merged with another thing I'm doing a horrible job describing it, but Essentially now she has a new lease on life and she's this Cool funny overpowered elf girl and it turns out that in game there's like a foster system. So she has a lot of children and They finally realize oh, she's back. She's with us again and fun adventures into it has a cool voice cast on the Japanese side and I don't know I'm Looking for less is a guy in my life I'm watching less of them because I'm just bored at this point, but this one is a nice little filler I don't Love it like the other shows, but it's alright It it's in the middle of the week and I can just enjoy it for what it is And I have to think too much about it Art isn't that great. It's from Maho films They worked on let's make a mug last year as well as by the grace of the gods 2020 so that's how I know them from oh and if it's for my daughter I'd even defeat a demon lord, which Did not like that show So yeah, it's just okay. That's the only easy guy I'm watching Currently The other one is police in a pod animated by madhouse if I remember correctly This one's a lot of fun. Mostly slice of life. You're following a rookie cop Female cop in Japan and it's her adventures and you know dealing with criminals and interrogations and all the stuff that Police officers have to deal with in Japan. So it's pretty nice to get that perspective unlike cops in the West right or Even in Europe It's pretty different Gorgeously animated and really fun Really fun show The other one that I'm watching is that I mentioned earlier is orient. This is based off a manga from the same creator as Maggie and I really wanted to love this I Can't every time I watch an episode I keep thinking man. I could be doing something else I am not liking this show at all. It's just Kind of boring and dull honestly it's sad it's a Mishmash of themes and plot devices you follow these characters that Essentially Samurai with superpowered abilities and they're fighting against only demons We've seen this before many times, but they ride bikes And it's like a feudal system, but in Japan and like a different version of Japan, but yet they have motorbikes It's just I don't know man. It's not for me. I'm just watching it at this point just to Give out some thoughts on it because I don't like dropping shows, but it's not something I look forward to on a weekly basis Tokyo 24th Ward is pretty interesting basically Thriller psychological thriller with like super heroics mixed in if like Psychopaths would be something somewhat similar to it, but instead it's in this colony in Japan the 24th Ward near Tokyo and the three main characters yet Calls on their cell phones and when it activates something in their brain and they got like heightened senses and superpowers and then they go around the ward or the Colony or city saving people and all that it's pretty it's a pretty far out idea for a show, but it works. It's fun Salmon King It's alright. I'm not super loving it I'm just watching it at this point because it's like 10 episodes left to conclude the thing. So whatever Ranking of Kings continues to be excellent. That's my favorite show.  I don't we don't have an end game for Dragon Quest They they never gave one out. They just said we're gonna go keep going as long as possible So it started in October of 2020 and it's still going. That's awesome I don't want it to end. I but it is on the final The final arc if you will I think we're on episode Which one episode 68 was the last one that aired I think I think it could go for around 20 more episodes. Honestly to wrap everything up nicely Yeah, Shahime the second season is a lot better than season one I was not a fan of season one the the characters are great But the stories told in that first season were not great This one is a lot better and finally gives us The reunions that we've been waiting for since the first episode Digimon ghost game is just all right. It's fun. I do like that. It's more horror centric and they mix The yokai lore with Digimon. That's awesome and The two shows the two standout shows this season Okay, give me a second here. Sorry Okay, just checking something else. So the two standout shows one is Akavi's sailor uniform Which I had no idea what I was getting into To be honest If I can describe this show It's Komichi Akavi's first year of junior high and she has her heart set on one thing Robi private Academy sailor uniform her mom wore that uniform that sailor outfit and Back in the day and now that she's been accepted into that school. She's gonna wear the sailor uniform She's the only one because everybody else got modern uniforms or whatever So she immediately stands out and now it's her experience in that school making friends and Club activities, so it's very slice of life oriented however This is Cloverworks, right? Yeah, Cloverworks is animating this thing. Cloverworks is working over time in 2022 after the disaster of Promise Neverland season 2 that garbage of a show And They're on a path of redemption. Check this out guys. Cloverworks has for 2022 they got Kunoichi Subaki in the works Spy family my dress up darling. I can be sailor uniform Tokyo 24th Ward Bochi the rock shadows house to which whatever that's a lot and Last year they worked on some other neat shows like Hori Mia and Wonder Egg But man Promise Neverland that that took a dump on On everybody that was such an awful way to show and that series anyways so I Don't know what they're doing. What kind of sorcery is happening in this show But this is easily one of the most gorgeous anime of modern times. I'm not kidding It is a true work of art, but it has it's based off of manga, but it has two of the most Weird uncanny valley slash just straight up WTF moments in recent memory If you've seen episode is it was it was it episode two or one? I Don't know. I think it was episode two Whatever one of the first episodes Ends with a very infamous scene which if you were on Twitter, you might have seen people talking about it. I talked about it. I Don't I don't I still don't know what to make of it. I don't understand Jesse say what thank you for joining for a very random rants on my end about I could be sailor uniform Let's see. No, I can't share it because then the chat would disappear. I can share it real quick here Okay Okay, so if we go in here Just so you guys get an idea what the hell I'm talking about Screen share. There we go. So At some point I could be goes it goes into the school and she's meeting people and I think it was the first day she wanted to be early and Arrived like an hour before school starts or something like that and there's another character called Erika Kizaki and She is Clipping her nails and taking a good old whiff at the nail clipper I don't understand what type of fetish they're aiming for or what the hell they're doing her Because I have never in my life have heard of people doing that so I was just shocked and weirded out and I thought is this show gonna be like this because I'm not game for that Turns out it's not There was another famous moment as you can see here the based on the manga cover Where she does she presses her lip like that and that was I was weird kind of uncanny Valley It was it was weirding me out. It was supposed to be nice and pretty or whatever, but I don't know It's pretty slice of life oriented and the characters are fun Last two episodes. I really enjoyed so I will I am continuing watching it. It's just please.  Oh I've seen what the internet is capable of please don't don't Be as viewer. Thank you for joining stay safe So, yeah, I Hope I didn't weird you out PS viewer by talking about this show Next up is my dress-up darling which I think is Cloverworks finest effort. It's another beautifully drawn show and I thought I wasn't gonna like it because It's about cosplaying which isn't my thing and I've never been into that. What's over? But I was surprised at how much I dug it Dress-up darling you follow the character of gojo he works on henna dolls and Really really really likes the henna dolls which kind of weirded me out as well and he got key to gawa she is very popular girl in in school and By chance she discovers that gojo has sewing skills and is really good at what he does and They form an unlikely friendship. She wants to be a professional cosplayer and It's just a really nice Kind of fan-servicing Rom-com and I'm really enjoying it I I like it a lot the characters are well written and the scenes just look beautiful and If you're into that sort of thing with the fan service you get a bunch of that too, but really I am enjoying it I do recommend watching that Chatting there we go and that's it. That's all I'm watching Sorry, that took a turn. I need to update the thumbnail with the shows that I'm watching Just so people know that we're gonna talk about that. Anyways, this sort of turned into the anime First impressions idea video, right? So that's cool. The other thing I wanted to talk about Let me pull up the article is From Kotaku Yep, oh Boyd look at all these ads okay, so The battle between anime YouTube and Japan keeps escalating and Anime youtubers suede as dubbed the show pro gambit As a warning for the wider content creation community so essentially this youtuber made a video of how he got Copyright strikes from Show pro right Anime content graders Okay Where was the info that I wanted to read? Anime creators on YouTube have been entrenched in a brutal fair use battle with aggressive Japanese copyright owners for a while now For a while now But as one content creator tells it things are starting to get out of control Japanese companies don't want youtubers using their footage YouTubers need clips to critique parody and craft all sorts of content. That's true While some anime youtubers in recent bouts against Japanese companies successfully argued that their content falls under Transformative fair use others are facing what they're calling the show pro gambit to understand where anime YouTube is now We need to look back on what happened with Fitzpatrick he did the he has a totally not marked channel and he got a hundred fifty copyright strikes from Toei And they were able to somewhat settle that There's a new YouTube policy basically where you block out the content in Japan and kind of safe But you have to be part of a multi-channel Network thing if I remember correctly for that to even get that like I can't use that. I'm an independent Creator I'm not part of any network or anything unless you count the omnibus collectors network. Hey but for the most part I'm all alone out there in the wide open sea basically and As you can see here This guy got dinged pretty hard I'm not gonna play the video but While the this policy was heralded as a win for content creators legal action dub the show program But as everyone's scared once more we're into suede a New Zealand youtuber who's been making Pokemon and anime parodies for eight years illegal strategy goes well beyond allowing Japanese companies to circumvent YouTube's Copyright policy the tactic if implemented successfully could force content creators into a prolonged Financially taxing international court battle that could jeopardize YouTube channels of any size Although this strategy strategy has apparently already claimed the likes of suede's moderately sized youtuber channel He's not trying to want warn others the show pro gambit as he calls it in the video Naming it after the production company behind the Pokemon anime show pro is Essentially a slap suit which is commonly used to intimidate a defendant from fighting back against a plaintiff While the thing could go to court the strategy assumes that the defendant will consider it too much of a hassle to pursue Look at that that's random If other Japanese companies decide to use this legal action They can circumvent YouTube's counterclaim system and fair use policy to bully content creators both small and large The fear is that by doing so these companies can have beloved channels purged from the platform That's insane It's a fairly common legal tactic many youtubers and dependent creators who may not have the resources to fight back So there's a sense of urgency in seeing big corporations start to adopt the tactic from this point on There are a million swords hanging over a million heads all held up by a single hair each They might never drop, but they might also all drop tomorrow said sweet That is pretty scary and the reason I bring it up is because my channel As you guys might be aware Hold up, okay Yeah, so basically my channel is Dedicated to talking about anime and manga and when I make videos on anime You kind of have to show the show Be show the show. Yeah, right that makes sense because I Could sit here and talk for an hour straight about a show And if it's just me nobody's gonna click that sure you guys watching right now you support the channel I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but let's face facts the vast majority of the internet is not gonna care about me and Nobody's gonna watch. However, if I make it engaging entertaining Well edited research if it's an essay type video with Footage to back up what I'm talking about If it's like it said in the article from Kotaku if it's a parody and you're showing examples of that if you're doing like an informative video and you have graphics and Animations and and highlighting images and visual keys and trailers and all that stuff that is super engaging not to mention the silly Thumbnails that I hate that people like to do with the reaction stuff All of that unfortunately people gravitate towards that and I When I make my anime videos, I have to feature Either footage or trailers and stuff like that and I add them to them Now there are a couple tricks here and there that you can use to sort of evade the bots To not get claimed. I'm not gonna name them here, but you can probably figure them out Stuff that you can do to to help with that. You still sometimes do get claims. I've gotten claims Yeah, and I've had to I have I've deleted videos and then I re-upload them with different I'll put like an image instead of that segment of a video that was claimed or whatever or maybe I'll do a A Poster or a picture-in-picture frame or something and edit it that way What for the most part I do feature Videos on it, especially when I'm doing the seasonal reviews, which is something that I really like doing on this channel Can if this doesn't work and they start doing the show program But on everybody and you're thinking oh, but these are channels that have millions of subscribers or a hundred thousand Or two hundred thousand or fifty k or whatever. I Don't have Nearly enough subscribers, but one of the goals is to get more subs, right? So who's to say that luck of the draw? Yeah, they don't go after somebody with two million subs and they just find you know out of the blue somebody with Almost 3k and they just go at it and and erase is trying to erase that channel My buddy Omar had a little scare with I Can't remember the name It was One of the manga companies in Japan that did not like him showing the video Even though it was it was sponsored by this media which owns the North American rights but still the Their copyright strike so that was scary So who's to say but a smaller channel like yours truly can get flagged for something like that And we threaten to lose a channel that's been on here for for a decade That's insane that I've been on YouTube for a decade So something to think about I mean will audiences react and will they have The incentive to watch Schmuck like me just talking for an hour straight like I'm doing right now with no examples I really doubt it.  Honestly, so We'll see what happens. Obviously the best move is to implement the I can't remember what it's called but basically the banning feature where You Exclude Japan from your channel and everybody else can watch it. That is the best thing that can happen and of course For Japan to update its fair use Laws that would be great. I highly doubt that's gonna work. I highly doubt they're gonna do that anytime soon It's gonna be a couple years before they even touch that Unless people speak up, but even then I really doubt it So the best course of action is to implement the YouTube policy for everybody not just people on Multi-channel networks and with the big bugs and connections, you know, I had that once happened to me by the way I did a video on What was it Your line April I have a review on it on this channel It was like an hour long of me just talking in depth about it and it was claimed by everybody the only place I could stream it was Somewhere in Africa and South America. I'm like Okay, guys, so I did I left it there. It's still on the channel. You can't find it So shout out to my African peeps and South Americans. They can watch that video So, yeah, pretty pretty intense. I think Pretty interesting. I don't know what will become of it Well, we'll come of it, but hopefully it's some good news because we all could use some good news in today's world Okay, so let me update something here real quick Yeah Okay Okay, I'm life All right James, do you watch any of the Ultraman? Common writer or Super Sentai ongoing series No, unfortunately, I don't it's something I do want to do. I've seen some of the common writer movies But I haven't seen any shows and I had the was it zero Was it zero I don't know if it was zero or whatever, let me check There's zero one there we go I had that pre-ordered, but I had to cancel it because unexpected unexpected things happened last month But I am looking forward to media blast media blasters Yeah, media blasters. They're gonna release movies So I would like to get some of those All right gang I've been streaming for an hour got a couple more minutes left if you guys want to hit me up on anything I Don't think I'm gonna stream the doki-doki stuff because that's gonna take a while I didn't have it set up. I mean if I go over to this scene You can see it right there and it looks great. I love that. It's working. You have no idea how happy I am that One I was able to fix the camera so it's widescreen I love it finally because before it was 4x3 that was really annoying me and I didn't know what I needed to do to fix that so I'm happy about that and That I can stream this stuff anime Related games and stuff like that. I think I can stream on this channel, but we do hangouts like this But like regular games. I still I have my twitch channel that I haven't used properly Someday Someday I'm gonna do that but not today Da-da and yeah, let's see if I had any other topics here that I wanted to discuss Oh, yeah Little update. Let me check it real time here. Obviously you're not seeing what I'm saying, but I Got oh are you kidding me? Okay? Hold on. It's asking me for a security code Really dude. I'm on this computer every single day. You should know who I am Okay, this is awkward if you're watching this later, I do apologize for the gaps Okay, verify. Are you good? Okay, so Purchase history I got from eBay finally the oversized And it is nearly Nearly there I Think by Monday afternoon. I might I might get it. I finally got the oversized gig again okita, oh soft cover manga from drawing in quarterly This is amazing. That's the one book. I was missing to have all the legal Kitara stuff on my shelf and Mizuki had such an amazing Big beyond bibliography. Is that the right word? Yeah bibliography there are many art books and bat books and Illustrations and encyclopedias Based on his yokai work, but they're all either from Fran Obviously Japan, but they're all either in the UK or France And I tried getting some of them and they they did not want to ship I tried there is a book that I want called yokaido, which is a play on yokai and Hokkaido And it's a beautifully illustrated book of like classical paintings, but with a yokai twist to them by Shigeru Mizuki and I really really really want that book. It's in it's in French But whatever. I'll just use Google translate on my phone and I could have gotten it Or I think it was the UK or something somebody was selling it and The shipping the book was like 40 bucks and they were charging me an extra 40 dollars to ship that book I'm like, you know what you can keep the book. I'm good. I'm fine So now I'm looking to see if maybe eBay will help me out And and I could find some of the Japanese editions or something but usually a Lot of the stores in Japan, they won't ship to my address so some do but For these yokai books that I'm looking for I had zero luck But yeah But I have excited because I got that oversized book I have tona monogatari in Nanonba and the smaller editions of Kitaro I Have them here with me And man, thank you for joining you joined when I'm like five minutes away from leaving But that's okay. We got five more minutes We're gonna add a couple more because you're here ask me about anything so we can End the show on a high note with your participation I was a little bit disappointed because we got all the all the regulars except you but now you're here That's awesome. God bless So where was I? the Kitaro books They're smaller editions and I was really mad because I totally missed out on getting it for cover price When it came out and all that stuff I was just I was just not collecting that stuff at the time when it was released and it went out of print and Everybody on eBay was charging The book was twenty five dollars retail twenty four ninety five How many people a couple so is we're asking 40 60 Somebody was charging like 70 which is insane The most I can do if it's if the book is out of print the most I can do for an out of print book would be And I hate going above cover price maybe 10 to 15 and maximum because I I view it as like I made an investment on As if I were going to the store, you know gas money taxes all that stuff So I try and imagine in my head like that's what the extra 10 or 15 dollars are going towards But I usually don't do that and for this book. I I was not I was not going to get the Kitaro book for 60 I saw somebody asking like 80 something and it was from Australia. I'm like no no No, and I asked a couple friends. They didn't They searched physically in like half price books or Barnes and nobles and stuff like that and didn't find anything So that was disappointing. So I had a save search and what's funny is a Couple days Before I did the save search on eBay I Had I had a very fun Dream and I think I yeah, I typed it on I wrote about it on Twitter Because it was so fun that I just had to share it with anybody. I had a dream a couple weeks back I'm gonna say three weeks ago or something like that that I Was With a good majority of my immediate family and we were visiting sort of the strange Store that had opened, you know that type of dream where you know your brain's trying to Recreate stuff and it's all very Unorthodox because this is dream. It's the brain trying to recreate stuff You know subconsciously and all that and we're in this weird Marshall's-esque store if you will or TJ max that type of store and at the end Of the store at the other end of the store near the exit that led into like a mall or stuff like that They had a book section and the book section was filled with like graphic novels and manga and and actual novels and all that stuff and I was super excited and I Kept looking through the rock and now I can't remember Which ones I was picking out, but I was so excited and my dad was there and I would show him a I was showing him all the books that I was picking off the shelf like this books out of print It's amazing because of this and that and look at this one. This was out of print. Oh my god This is like I struck gold with this It's insane and I'm picking everything and one of the books. I think it was the last one was the oversize Kitado Banga from drawing quarterly And I'm like, yes, I finally got it. That's great I can finish off my Kitado set and all that stuff and Everything was super happy and peachy and then unfortunately I woke up and then the sudden realization of real life and all that just left a Melancholic nostalgic slash sad Mood on me for the rest of the day sort of a bittersweet moment so After that after that a couple days after that I Was searching on eBay and then I remembered about the dream. I'm like, hey Kitado She got a Mizuki blah blah blah and I found somebody Selling it for 30 bucks. I'm like, oh don't mind if I do let's go And I ordered that thing and they shipped it medium mail. That's why I haven't gotten it yet, but checked just now and Yeah, it's it arrived Today so Either Monday afternoon or early Tuesday. It should be processed and ready for me to pick up at the post office So I am super excited Hopefully I have my fingers crossed that there's nothing there's nothing wrong with it Like it's not another copy of another book. It's not too banged up It said it was in work and in a like new condition. So fingers crossed We'll see So, yeah, I just wanted to share that with you guys Really excited about that and I hopefully I do I do plan on expanding my Yo-kai Section when it comes to manga I decided to not get a bunch of other series that are more popular and Instead I'm refocusing my manga collection. Like yeah, I'll still get like your berserk deluxe editions and Odusawa books or whatever Or whatever is popular these days chainsaw man whenever whenever they do a box it for chainsaw man. I'll pick that up But yeah, I'm excited for that man something really cool that I love there's something about the themes of Yo-kai literature that I really really enjoy You guys might know that I'm on tiktok. You can follow me there. That's a creature guide in where I talk about Um sort of bite-sized info on on Yo-kai I've done a bunch of videos on it. You guys want to check that out. It's something that I'm very passionate about purely a hobby, I don't seek to be famous or anything just doing it for fun and People are liking it. So I'm excited and Yeah, the Yo-kai thing I still I still haven't put it to words what it means to me and I talked about it last week on the stream, but it's sort of It kind of Help me through difficult through a difficult year last year and I guess it's sort of reminded me of simpler times and me growing up and just being fascinated by History and folklore and all that stuff. I've always been a fan of that regardless of what country it might be or whatever or culture So it reminded me of that and the fact that The Yo-kai are mischievous. They're not necessarily evil although some are and they can sort of teach you like life lessons And I take those to heart and it's been a lot of fun So maybe one day I'll have a better answer for you guys for now. That's what I got So I'm nearly done with this. I'm wrapping up two more minutes If you guys are tuning in now live Scroll back because I basically did a impromptu anime first impressions for the season and I talked about show pro gambit, which is I think super important and hopefully doesn't cause a catastrophe on the ante Tuber spectrum of YouTube and Next time I'm not gonna do it now because There are hardly anybody anybody's tuning in to watch I Didn't announce it Properly, but next time I guess I should do this Yeah, there we go Whatever it's flipped Next time I'm gonna play some of that in chat with whomever is here could be one person two person whatever two people whatever But I'm excited for that and I think that's gonna wrap it up For tonight's stream.

Businessman Robert Smith detailed how private equity firms function. His outline had similarities to how major label deals are constructed in order to most benefit the label monetarily without actually investing time and energy into a lot of the artist's sign. Check this out. Let me tell you what private equity is. Okay. It is typically eight white males sitting around a table arguing about which of their deals is better than the others. They have 15 or 18 deals in their mind and 25 relationships. They think that if they bring it together they can make money and then they sit at the table and argue about well my deal is better than yours and I'm going to shoot your idea. It's a very bespoke process and most people think oh by that the cream will rise to the top. The best returns will manifest out of that process, that crucible of engaging. But go look at the facts. The facts show high volatility, okay. Some cases do great. Some cases lose everything, right. You know look I don't call that investing. That's placing bets.


Well hello everyone we'll go ahead and get tonight's listening circle going. Welcome to another District 6 listening circle for those of you who this is your first listening circle that you've been to and those watching online. The purpose and goal of our listening circles is to discuss issues that our neighborhoods are experiencing in a format where we connect the city departments that can do something about the things that you're experiencing in your neighborhood and ultimately for my office as the District 6 representative and also for the staff who are here to be able to hear directly from you about the challenges you're experiencing and each listening circle is topic specific so that we're talking very specific to the concerns that our office has been hearing a lot about from you all as our residents and neighbors and also issues that our staff is hearing about. Tonight's listening circle is specifically all things related to wildlife and what the city is doing and what you can do to partner with the city in managing our wildlife. Specifically tonight we'll be talking a lot about egrets and coyotes. Some of you all may know my background. I wrote a whole dissertation on grass and grasslands and so I think it's really important as a growing city that we continue to conserve our natural heritage that is the Fort Worth prairie that is rich with all kinds of wildlife all kinds of plant species and just beautiful scenery. That's one of the reasons why as a council office we focus specifically on the open space program. Thank you all who participated in the 2022 bond program. We put a proposition for it as a council for the voters to decide on as it relates to conserving open space across the city and the voters approved a $15 million proposition for the city to acquire open space conservation areas not only as an amenity for the city of Fort Worth residents and guests to enjoy outdoor activities and additional park spaces and trails but also as a strategy for conserving wildlife all across the city in more suitable habitats right then in the middle of our neighborhood. Sometimes that's not the best habitat for our wildlife and for the safety of our residents. For those of you who haven't heard the news it's a little bit dated but as a part of open space conservation we have secured one of the largest parks in the Fort Worth system here in District 6 being the Chisholm Trail open space conservation area which is it started out as 270 acres and last year last summer we were able to add 30 additional acres so that's now it's right at or a little under 200 or sorry it's right under 300 acres of open space conservation and it will be an amazing amenity for us and our guests and visitors to the city. So with that being said I also want to thank a few people our co-compliance department and also Texas Parks and Wildlife is here and thank you all you know we have had a lot of conversations as a district about wildlife specifically with egrets and the challenges that we're experiencing in our neighborhoods particularly one house you all may all remember had over 290 egrets nesting both chicklings and also adult birds and because of working together with you all and with staff I was proud to see that we now have a migratory bird operation policy that works to deter egrets before they nest because they're fairly protected and once they're nested we cannot disturb those nests not only to deter them to more suitable habitat but to ensure that we work with not only our local and state partners but also our federal partners like the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure that we have suitable habitat that's in open space areas for them to nest and so thank you all for your input on that I mean thank you staff for the amazing work that y'all did with that. Without any further ado I'd like to introduce two folks that will be presenting a little bit about what what the work that's being done around managing our wildlife once they present we will open up the floor for any questions that you have you see that we have our whole co-compliance team that serves our district here and so if for some chance that we can't answer your questions we will certainly be taking note of that my office staff is here I'm Davia Johnson raise your hand is our district director and Joshua Rivers is our constituent services director who is your liaison for all things that are important to you that you need to help navigating through the city with and so you have a man and a friend in Josh and so be sure to contact him and get his contact info at the end of the event and so without any further ado I'd like to bring up Chris Loret first we also have Rachel Richter did I get that right with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department they'll give a briefing to you all and then we'll open up the floor once they're finished for questions also if you're watching online we know that you may not be able to interact live with this right now as this is a recording and so if whatever questions that you have please feel free to send those to our district six council office at district six at Fort Worth Texas dot gov without any further ado Chris come on up give the residents a briefing I mean the next we'll have Rachel come up hi my name is Chris Loret I'm the co-compliance superintendent for animal control and I'm just going to give you all an update as far as egrets for uh candle ridge area and of course we're already into the migrating period for this year for 2023 they started coming in already I don't think we've had too much going on down here in the south area by candle ridge most of the sightings that we have as far as egrets coming in is further north up by our sunny bank area and district I want to I can't remember exactly what district but it's to the east of 35 by basswood as far as the everybody down here in the candle ridge area they've had a lot of people last year that grew up together everybody knew what to do as far as scaring the birds out they cleaned their trees they made their trees trimmed out they had arbiters come in and clean the end the insides of the trees which helped a lot and this year I think we're more worried about ball lake which is going to be to the west and that area we've already noted uh contacted the owners of the property over there and we're working with them and some arbiters hopefully that will be cleaning out their nests and so forth as far as the north area we've made contact with everybody over there all the owners some of them just went ahead and cleaned out their trees and chopped the trees down and we're continuing our progress with all the neighborhoods uh as far as continuing the progress if y'all have any calls if y'all see any egrets y'all can use my forward app y'all can notify us about the egrets coming in uh my team will get those calls and we'll go out and assist uh or you can call<PHONE_NUMBER> which is our city call center they will they will also take the calls and the stray team and our special projects team as well as our senior officer for the south district will continue to assist and help any citizen that needs help with the egrets uh that's pretty much what I have right now for egrets uh I know y'all had asked some calls about coyotes as well uh as far as we know right now with the coyotes uh I know where they're dining I'm not planning on removing any coyotes because of the simple fact they have not done anything that we are we don't want to remove some that are familiar for the area because if they start you start removing them you're gonna have other coyotes come in and they're not familiar with the area they start causing problems okay uh but that's pretty much where I stand with the coyotes okay uh Rachel you want to say anything as far as coyotes because I think the probably like number one inquiry that we get into our office is coyote right and that either ranges from um you know I saw a coyote and like I want to be its friend to like I saw a coyote and we're all gonna die um and so we try to find the middle ground with that you know and the thing about coyotes is I think here in north Texas it is would be much more unusual to have a neighborhood that does not have coyotes in the area than to have one that does I think the majority of our neighborhoods do have coyotes in the area now the important thing about your coyotes in the neighborhood is how much do you know that they're there how much do you notice that they're there because what we're concerned about with coyotes is what is their behavior um and so if the coyotes in your neighborhood you don't really notice that they're there or you might only see them once or twice a year at night that's more or less what coyotes should be doing on the back side of this coyote handout you'll notice there's like kind of a seven-point scale um and that scale was developed by people who research coyotes in urban areas um coyotes in urban areas are so common that they've actually there's actually been a lot of research done on them and we know a lot about them and we know that they have predictable patterns of behavior as they become increasingly habituated to people we also know that they're very responsive to human actions and basically we determine where they are on that scale um and so there's more to this that is not on this handout which is basically like what are our reactions like what's an appropriate response to all of these and basically you know um if there's if you're at a point where you're starting to feel like okay i'm seeing coyotes a lot more than i used to or they're hanging out on people's yards a whole lot or um they're following people who are walking their dogs things like that those are some things that might be kind of a little bit of a concern that um not of danger but that they're getting too comfortable they're starting to lose their fear of people of those types of things start happening but the good news is there's some really easy things that the community can do to make sure that the coyotes kind of get back to where they were behavior-wise first and foremost with coyotes it's all about food you want to make really sure that um you're not feeding them intentionally i always feel really silly saying that because that's like wildlife 101 right like don't feed the wildlife but the stories that i have collected over the years of people um you know going to different cities and stuff there is one golf course where they were concerned about why um coyotes were coming up to people while they were playing golf and so they started watching and there were golfers that were keeping dog treats in their golf bags and giving them to the coyotes right okay so that's why even though i know you'll know better i always just say it because i've heard so many ridiculous stories that you wouldn't believe um but i think what happens more often that attracts coyotes to neighborhoods is the unintentional feeding and so this is where you basically just want to take some common sense precautions to make sure that you're not um accidentally feeding the coyotes so that's make sure your trash is secure um make sure if you're feeding your pets outside that's fine but take the bowls inside when they're done um if you have uh fruit trees you want to pick up the fallen fruit from the trees um you also want to um maintain uh like firewood piles and stuff like that and if you have bird feeders in your backyard sweep up the seeds underneath it so coyotes are opportunistic omnibores so they'll eat a lot of plants they also eat animals right um but the majority of their diet is rodents so some of these things like trash and pet food they can the coyotes will eat that themselves some of these other things um things that coyotes like to eat like rodents which is the majority of their diet um you know like fallen birds eat is gonna attract rodents and then that's gonna attract coyotes um so those are the things that you really want to be mindful of um you also want to another thing that you can do if you're concerned about the behavior of the coyotes in the neighborhood is if you have a coyote that like you know it sees you you see it and you don't feel like it's responding appropriately like you know it's not running away from you or if it's hanging out somewhere where a coyote just shouldn't be like your yard um that's when you want to haze and hazing is basically yelling making loud noises and throwing things um and with hazing um basically anything that's scary or intimidating will work you can bang potlids together you can just yell and wave your hands um one thing that doesn't work so great in urban areas is car horns because they hear those all the time right um but anything that's kind of like a loud scary noise um if you're hazing a coyote you want to make sure that you keep it up until the animal leaves the area um if you go outside and you yell and make a loud noise and you just kind of look at the coyote and the coyote looks at you and then you're like oh that didn't work and you go inside the coyote is kind of like oh that sure was a silly thing that that human did right but if you've annoyed it enough that you make it made it leave the area then you know that you've kind of reminded it that humans are dangerous and that's where like if it doesn't respond right away to like um the audio deterrents um that's where I would pick up a stick or a rock and throw it like with the intent to hit and they'll they'll be gone because you reminded them humans can hurt me um and usually the good news is coyotes are pretty responsive to that and you'll see a behavior change in their behavior within a couple of weeks if not if not faster than that um as chris said relocation trying to get rid of them not a good idea um there will always be more coyotes in the area that can move in so it's better to address the underlying issue that might be causing some of those undesirable behaviors also coyotes have what we call density dependent reproduction and they're also pack animals and if you destabilize that pack and their numbers get low then they have more babies um so you have more adults reproducing but they also can have more pups per litter so you can actually end up with more coyotes that may not have as good as manners as the kidneys that you have now um and also another negative side effect of removing the coyotes is you tend to see an increase in the things that they eat so rodents um if you do feel like you're at a point where you know you're kind of like looking at the seven point scale and you're really concerned about the coyotes one thing that neighborhoods can do is start a monitoring program so this is basically where you just have people report to a central location whenever they see a um coyote behaving inappropriately um and you're going to record information like where and when what was the coyote doing where there are other animals around did the coyote respond to the human that type of stuff and that helps to kind of get a picture of like exactly where you all are at on the scale and also um can help you um potentially identify hot spots where um you know the most activity is being seen um and so that that's pretty much my quick and dirty spiel on coyotes there and I guess are we doing questions now or so the other thing is is if y'all have anything that y'all want to look at we have information on the city website for egrets as well as coyotes there's also information about deterrents there's information on what to do if there's coyotes to contact us we will come out as far as the coyotes in those areas we will look at them we we will see what they're doing and we'll do an investigation basically whether or not they're doing something that would be a matter to pull them out okay uh typically you might see me out there actually looking at the coyotes or one of the supervisors just to make sure uh I know we had an issue a while back somebody thought the coyote was dinning in somebody's backyard we went out there we checked it they may have passed through but they weren't dinning uh they actually are dinning somewhere else that um we're keeping an eye on uh and they do have some cubs which is one of the reasons why we're not going to move them we're going to leave them where they at and we're we're going to keep an eye on them uh and of course all the egrets stuff if y'all have any questions this plug reminds me of my old sega genesis and yes I'm old enough to remember a sega where you have to like bend the cord underneath the machine to get it to work some of y'all laughing because I think y'all had the same kind of sega so anyways at this point we'll um open the floor for discussion I'll stand off to the side unless it's council related I'd be more than happy to answer any you know policy related questions this gentleman had a question and then we'll come over to you okay so off the top of my head so what so he was asking how many other neighborhoods around the area you want to know about the city as well the whole city so how many other neighborhoods around candor ridge that have coyotes in them so candor ridge is a big park okay they have several areas in candor ridge where we have little pockets uh the one that y'all may have seen as far as the two and the cubs or close to probably french lake I have a couple more down south by this old uh the elderly living area I have some further down south by uh chism trail I have three by the lake by uh by the zoo I have two by the botanical gardens in trinity park uh I have a couple on the east side that's pretty spread out I guess my question is and nobody reported that they were being fed uh but we will look into that and so we just I don't think that's all this good they they actually been dinning in an area for about three years now because I knew about them over there we've actually pulled had to pull one of them three years ago out and there was a female that was left over the one that we pulled out had unfortunately had to stem her so we had to pull him out and he was sick so the other of course the female there she's going to find a suitor that suitor came in but they've been there for about three years uh we will definitely look into that so are you are you are you talking about the birds that come in by welch lake so let me I will get with uh parks and rec and I will see if we can get some signs out there that that's one of the biggest problems that we have sometimes is is people feeding them feeding the wildlife and it does cause a problem so yeah you can definitely the seagulls and the e-grads you can tell the big difference with them e-grads got the long beaks yes ma'am coyotes until a few years ago when they put in the chiseled trail they were forced out of their habitat yes and and that's and we have them I see them in the morning when I walk my dog around Canada's park and they are there you know they're on their side I don't see up to four because I know they keep the rope population down and uh and stray cats and people who have other animals should keep them in you know that they shouldn't be running wild anyway and I'm a big dog and they never have bothered us and I always say hi why well like I said earlier we're not we're going to keep keep an eye on them okay we're going to keep an eye on them we're not removing them as Rachel said moving them away there's only one way because you can't relocate them okay and I'm not going to remove them we're going to leave them where they at we're going to keep an eye on them we will make sure they're not doing something if y'all see see them doing something that they y'all feel they shouldn't be doing let us know you can go on my my forward app you can call our call center at<PHONE_NUMBER> let us know we'll go out there we'll check them and hopefully we can live together with them with no problems yes yeah exactly I we don't we will not remove any wildlife unless it's going to be a nuisance to the citizens or it's going to be a sick animal because I mean a lot of wildlife does spread disease so we want to keep those two in check because there's a combination between the domestic animals and wildlife so we just we definitely want to want to keep an eye on that and we have been in contact with a lot of the ferro colony people we educate them about leaving food out we tell them to feed the animals at certain times and once they're done eating to pick up the stuff we're still doing that we're going to continue to educate and we're going to continue to talk with them and work with them to make sure everything we also work with them for tnr because the city does support tnr for cats so we'll continue to do all those things with the ferro colonies as well as every citizen and we educate everybody in reference to their domestic dogs we also pick up a lot of stray dogs so we can keep those you know secure for citizens as well any other questions yes ma'am i'm sorry so if it's a nuisance animal we could go out there if it's doing something wrong that we need to erratic take them out uh yes we could go out there and shoot them we do have tranquilizer guns uh i don't suggest any citizens shooting any weapon in the neighborhoods or in the city because pd will come out and could possibly now if if a coyote is attacking somebody and they're defending themselves from the coyote i mean that could happen but i don't suggest anybody going around with their guns shooting any wildlife contact us let us go out there a lot of these officers have been with the city for 10 plus years and they've been working with me on a lot of this all of them are tranquilizer qualified and they can do what we got to do so let's put somebody claiming an animal control out there with an air rifle that was not the case huh hold on with the coyote i'm the person that saw it i saw an animal control truck driving down a little way turned on the belt cut off two coyotes jumped out of the car had an air rifle in his hand i don't know what they were doing can you clarify okay so there was a call that we had that somebody was concerned about the coyotes and wanted to point out where they were that officer did go out there he was in with a dart gun he did not his he had called me and said hey this is what i'm doing this is i'm like okay just keep an eye on them see what they're doing but we wasn't removing them and we wasn't darting them now we do get out sometimes with the dart gun and we might look through a scope to see make sure that we're seeing the coyotes does not make does not mean he was going to shoot him okay sometimes we can see better with the binocular on the gun but uh yes he he did contact me we told him i told him that we were not taking the coyotes out i knew about them i told him exactly where they were exactly where he knew that they were and the discussion was had right there that they were not going to be removed okay anything else so she wanted to know where the den was and whether or not they were in the back of candle ridge park apartments the den is not in the back of candle ridge park apartments okay some people probably already know where the den is uh i would ask that nobody go by the den because there are cubs and if you do go by the den then the coyotes will be they could be defensive for their cubs okay it is springtime springtime is when all the flowers bloom so i'm i'm gonna put it like that the flowers bloom so also the cubs come out okay thank you chris um and rachel um we're so proud of the partnership that we have with not only our city departments with code compliance especially on this issue
