Okay, cool. Nice. How'd you find that? Yeah, it's nice. I think you get everything with it The comfort, speed Luxury, you know what I mean? Sounds nice as well, doesn't it? Yeah What was your first car you ever owned? My first car was a white Volkswagen Polo. A white Volkswagen Polo? Yeah, I thought I was a boy to be fair What sort of engine do you have in it? I think it's a 1.2. A 1.2. What engines in your SVR? Five litre It's such a difference, isn't it? Such a difference. I was getting smoked on the motorways in my Polo. Oh, yeah I'll bet you don't now though Nah But to be fair I was Scared when I first got up caught up.  Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I'm all about learning to drive What was it like for you when you learned to drive? Was it quite easy to learn to drive? Yeah, I thought it was quite easy So I turned 17 In october and I passed in January Okay in the middle of january. That's not bad. How many lessons you had? I think I had about 20 hours or 20 hours. Yeah or something like that. It makes you a natural Was that after being on a playstation driving forward or something like that? It's all the need for speed What did you go for a complete white lever with trim like personalized stitching? No, no None of the personalized stitching But uh, yeah, I did go for it. Okay, just stay in to it That's not you though, is it buddy? No, you're not flash are you? That's what that's a good thing, mate We're going to go to hansbury head now take you down to hansbury head It's just it's such a beautiful location. It's beautiful part of the country such a great place to be a primarily footballer as well because You've got everything and you've got you've got the football You've got the big teams coming down man United come down to play man's city Chelsea Arsenal, but your daily life In this area is so the quality of life so so good. Yeah, yeah, definitely Yes, it's hansbury head It's a bit blustery a day to be fair, but it's a nice walk from the sunshine See, I meant hansbury head. We used to do our preseason training down here We used to walk to the top of the hill Or run. Sorry, that's you we didn't want water. So we used to run to the top of the hill And then we used to run up and down the sand dunes Um old school proper old school But the things you do nowadays because you're measured aren't you you checked you measured everything's written down and recorded Do you find out to find out helps you personally you're aware of your stats you're aware of where you're at? Or would you leave that to the sports scientist? No, personally, I like to be aware of where I'm at. I think he's the same with everyone really Because then you can there's a bit of Competition, you know, I mean just healthy competition around the training ground for like sprints or Jump height For example, do you find as a as a footballer as a professional athlete you're you're competitive in everything you do Yeah, you never switch off. No, I don't think so Even when you're playing cards for Christmas You want a window, you know, I think like Like beat your your arm and stuff like that.  Um, I think I'm starting to get to know the area a bit more. Um, so a bit like can for cliffs sand banks lily putt things like that um and then I think it's just through going and visit the boys and things like that When you finish training at about two three o'clock your day's done, you know, I mean And sometimes it can get a bit boring So when the boys are Do you want to go for a coffee or? We'll go to cinema or go for food and things that that is nice to kind of link up outside I've got to ask you what sort of film is the football is to go to the cinema together to watch is it like love No None of that it's more like it's more action or Like maybe a bit of comedy here and there With thriller chucking a thriller now and again You're back training now. How far do you reckon you are away from from full fitness? I think Say two three weeks Maybe less. Well, I had a schedule at the moment, which is good Um, I'm feeling good My uncle's feeling good. So everything's just coming together nicely at the moment So you can see see Bournemouth there and you can see it's better now because he's we can see clearer Yeah goes all the way down there. So you got pulled down the bottom corner Okay, and this goes all the way around to Swanage, which is like the Jurassic coastline. It's beautiful around that one Um When you settle down and you start to explore a few more places I had a little drive down to sandbanks Last week. Okay, quite nice. Yeah I think 60 70 years ago. You could just go and staked a bit of land Like none of the houses were there and that's quite a funny story really Whoever's bought a house back in that day. They've done all right now. Yeah, they've had a touch They've done all right probably JT JT for the old sandbanks now I used to I had a taxi business. I dropped out of football a long time ago and I I went and lived in a real world and I went to a dentist one day and Just to get a fair said that didn't say it was for where he's going jumped in there's Gaza Gaza gets him a taxi So I'm like, oh I guess I'm trying to tell him like I used to play on it. You know He couldn't talk because he just had these implants He had these implants and he's trying he wanted to talk because he's polite Yeah, the one time in your life you meet Gaza here, don't it just after he's had dental implants He's scrambling to talk. Yeah, that's right So you've had some success you've had some international success as well and you play for England. What levels do you play for England at? And so I played under 20s and then under 21s last year And then fortunate enough to go to the 21s tournament In Italy, which was a good experience. Unfortunately, we didn't do as well as We first planned and hoped for but You learned loads of things while you're out there Probably does sound a bit cliche, but it's probably no better time to be an England football player England international because You don't know when you'll get your chance There's loads of players that I played with last year In the tournament where they've gone on to kind of Select get their call up for the senior squad This month so Anything's possible really. Yeah, definitely I enjoyed this drive the other day Sun was out Bit of music going. What sort of music you're going? What did I have going I think it might have been a bit afro beats. Okay. Yeah I don't even know what afro beats are What are afro beats? It's like uh I'm gonna get grilled if I get this wrong, but it's like a mixture between like a african slash r&b Like mix There's some uk like rappers that kind of an artist that get involved in Afro beats. Okay, so you do get some good tunes, you know, okay So we're dropping down to Bournemouth now And when I first come to the club as well, I mean Remember coming down and talking to the manager I think I'll come down with one our old captain Ian Cox as well. We've both come from palace And I'm sure he said like go for a walk the manager go for a walk, you know go and look at the beach And that's like what a great thing to do that is when you're trying to sign players And here we go Bournemouth pier If this was a bit sunny earliest place you'll be round All the kids got back to school now as well. So I see to be fairly in move a bit better You've been on the big wheel No, I haven't What's your the way you like the heights? I could do that. Yeah. Yeah, that's not too bad We had some last summer.   They all did it did it in pairs So we like to do things like that. We like to test up our boys Because you're living in town you're living at the hill, right? So it's his um, it's nice literally just a walk across the road Yeah, who else is staying the hill at the moment? What do you got in there? Uh, Jack Stacey The new boys. Yeah, because you're on ours in there as well. Yeah, I know He's in there as well All the players come when they first come they stayed there. Hmm. It's a nice place. Yeah See we are back at Handy Handy Jaguar L.M. Rover That's the end of our little drive Hi Kelly. Welcome to Bournemouth

This is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I'm Paul Pony behind me is Stangosaurus. It's been quite a while since we did a Stangosaurus vlog here and it's not really a vlog. This is more of an install, a very easy install that really you can do to almost any vehicle. So essentially what we're doing is an air filter install. It's going to add approximately 2 to 5 horsepower, not a whole lot, but it is going to free up a little airflow causing slight increases in horsepower. Don't believe me, look on YouTube. It's already been dynoed, it's already been proven so approximately 2 to 5 horsepower. So today let me show you guys what we're doing here. Alright so here it is you guys the K&N air filter is going to be a direct replacement for the stock paper air filter which is going to be under that to a Hickey there under the cover. We're going to go ahead and disassemble all this just drop the air filter in put it all back together. In case anybody is curious I'll leave a link to it in the description box below but this can all be had for only $56.99 on cjponyparts.com if anybody was interested in getting it for their own 2015 to 2020 Ford Mustang for Mustang Ecoboost GT whatever it's all available on cjponyparts website but again it's going to give a 2 to 5 horsepower increase not going to really make a difference in the sound whatsoever but we're still going to do an exhaust clip at the end of this video just for fun. Anyhow let's go ahead and get started on the install here. Alright you guys so there really isn't any specific order I want to do first there is a little red clip right under here I'm just going to pull that out to start. Another little clip disassemble this just yank straight off then there's a bunch of these little clips there's one two maybe just two I'm just kidding there's just two that's about it for this now I'm just going to loosen this up so I can actually pull this off and put the air filter in. Alright so now let me show you guys what I've done real quick just so everybody can follow along disconnected the sensor I did that there also pulled this plug out that was located right there is a couple of these clips one two that I disconnected and then I just loosen this up and that's really all you have to do to kind of maneuver this thing a little bit out of the way. Alright you guys and you'll see what I'm doing here you can actually move this enough to just basically slide this paper filter out I have to get it from the bottom hang on and that's the paper air filter that we're getting rid of I'll probably save it just for sentimental reasons now like I said this K&N air filter is just a direct replacement so it is just going to slide right on in right where the paper filter left off and there you have it it's done and so for 57 bucks on cg of pony parts that was a very easy install anybody absolutely anybody can do that and I now have an extra three to five horsepower under the hood which isn't a huge deal but it's a little extra horsepower which is pretty cool so I'm gonna go ahead and put this back together now and then we'll do an exhaust clip. Alright so my only friendly reminder for you guys before we get to the exhaust clip when you reconnect that mass airflow sensor just please remember to push this little red button back in so that it actually clamps and stays there once again so don't want anybody making that mistake so I did want to mention it but now like I said let's close the hood and get to the exhaust clip. It's so but that is about it for this with you guys thank you so much for watching if you have any questions whatsoever about staying a source about any of the modifications feel free to put it in the comments section below or hit me up you can DM me on Instagram I don't care it's at the gold pony 21 also recently created a tech talk account at gold pony if you guys wanted to follow that but I'll have to I'm just letting you know but again any questions you're afraid to hit me up that is about it for this one do appreciate you guys watching be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're new car reviews and staying a source videos that is what we do here on this channel but do appreciate you guys watching more than you know and I will see you guys all in the next video stay gold


And for ladies and gentlemen, we are back. We are excited. This is gonna be great as we Wrap up the q&a and then let our speakers go for the night to rest. We appreciate their patience We appreciate your patience folks. It was embarrassing enough the stream started out lagging and then That's it. I'm done with stream labs. It's basically we we used obs and we were like, hey, let's try stream labs Like long ago and then stream labs failed us. So we went to obs but then like three months ago I was like, you know what? Let's try stream labs again, but no never again. So Thanks for your patience. Let's jump into those questions folks very excited And then I actually do have a fun question because I hated you you guys we just It had to be while we were off air. We just had destiny and k disagreeing on something and it's something that I'm like Ooh, here's a juicy question. It's one that I think is probably gonna come up in the future And I can't help but ask just to get a quick response from you both as we've had kind of like a shortened discussion and A q&a, but this is a question that in particular with covet Possibly will there be laws in the future on whether or not a covet vaccine should be mandatory And would that be a good thing or a bad thing in when you're weighing all the factors and you're trying to kind of Balance them all out Yeah, I mean, I mean, obviously as we were kind of just talking about like I'm generally pro vaccine As for whether or not it's mandatory.  I think that I as a libertarian and as a particularly as a mom I think I see the idea of mandatory vaccinations as something that's it's very scary and can lead to Some very questionable issues I don't want the government having the power to tell me what I have to inject into my children or into myself But I think that whenever it comes to down to I think it has to be Deliberated based on the individual illness. I mean the small packs vaccine was mandatory because people were dying by the hundreds of thousands It's just wiping people out and I think that whenever it comes to COVID-19, I think you're going to see a significant more pushback. What if they try to mandate the vaccine? Um mainly because Of how it was handled by the government and um the issue of you know, the numbers being way bigger than Than they were, you know, the numbers that they were giving us Turned out to be completely overblown and we didn't see the death rates at where they were and I think that they're going to see Significant more pushback Because people aren't super trusting of what the government is saying we do and do not need Personally, I don't think that COVID-19 is serious enough to where we need to be releasing our Fundamental human rights to the government to mandate that everybody get a vaccine. Oh, that's just where I stand on that Gotcha, and other questions we have definitely want to ask these is uh, there's some juicy ones in here. Let's see Appreciate thanks so much. Louis Romero Asked the numbers were in fact underrated So I think they're talking about COVID cases or deaths They said the 1.5 must be cases Well 1.5 to 2 million people was if we decided to do nothing and let Horde immunity dictate the course our leaders have shifted the numbers from 50,000 to 75,000 And now they're saying 135,000 I think it's impossible to say whether you know, what would have happened had we not locked down You know, it's uh, that could be a game that we could you know, we could talk circles around that You know, what might have happened had we not locked down We just have to you know, go with what we have we did lock down and this is what happened and You know, we have to we have to live with that Gotcha And oh, did you want to say something Stephen? Um, yeah, I mean like one of the important things to remember for those projections Is that like these are projections with a lot of variants? Like there was um, like it could have been as low as 50,000 It could have been as high as like two and a half million Like it's really hard to tell based on what's going on like where things are going to be, right? Like the the data as you project out in time like this you get like really really big variants of where things could go so Gotcha and thanks so much for your super chat Stephen steen said consciousness doesn't come till after birth I think this but go ahead Gotcha, Stephen, uh, Stephen steen Destiny disagrees with you and it's too many Well, no, no, I don't just gonna use wrong things are conscious before like passing through a vagina doesn't magically endow you with consciousness Um, like you have a conscious experience before you're born I don't remember if it's at around like 12 weeks or whatever I there there's sometimes some number of months in where it's where it sort of happens But then and then you gain like self-awareness and all of that by the time you're like two Your brain is fully developed by the time you're 25 But to say that like it's like when the vagina is pushing you out It gives you consciousness on your way out the door. It's like it's not how that works at all Andrew Handelsman. Thanks for your super chat who said amazing and then lily ro Thanks for your super chat said the two parties hold too much power over our elections government media and discourse as well They polarize each other to keep us at each other's throats And unfortunately, that's not likely to change because you know too many people they recognize the problem But are unwilling to step out to do anything about it. You know, we see that, you know, the mainstream media is Constantly trying to pit us against each other, but we still consume it You know, we see that the two-party system has too much power But we still continue to vote for the lesser of two evils Because we're not willing to step out and say that we demand we deserve better and we're going to demand better So more people step up and say, you know, we're done with this. We're not going to consume mainstream media and let them go And you know just fade off You know until they say that we're not going to vote for these two candidates because we don't like either one of them You know, we're going to stay home or we're going to vote their party or do something It's that it's just going to be a never-ending cycle Gotcha, and I think we have one or two more. Let's see. We got that. We had a new one come in. Thanks for your super chat Hikikaa, ooo Mori They said can you ask destiny if he believes in deadbeat daddism? Yeah, I mean, yeah, of course Gotcha. I don't know what that is. It's it's from a meme song that somebody made about joseph woodbeard or something Okay, gotcha and thanks for your let's see. I think we maybe had one other one come in So we we do have other questions though standard questions as well. Thanks for yours from brian Let's see ask the seven-day moving average shows that our decrease in cases has stopped We've stabilized at 20,000 a day and it's possible the curve is going back up So kind of going back to that number of cases This is similar to one of the questions we just asked but do you want to add anything you can if it's different enough?  It's it's so bad like from a health point of view It's also really bad economically like I was surprised that we stayed locked down as much as we did because I didn't think We would be able to bear this much economic harm Like the biggest worry is that if we reopen and then there's like a big second wave I honestly I don't know what happens at that point like we're going to have to shut everything down again People are going to be ultra antsy to do it a second time. There's going to be another huge fight in congress about much needed stimulus We're already not going to know how much damage is caused by the first shutdown There's a lot of businesses that are closing today that are never coming back again Like if we reopen and we do it in a haphazard manner and everything just goes to shit immediately if the cases start to spike up dramatically again And man, I don't know. It's going to be really really really bad. We have to be very careful how we handle it Gotcha and kade do you want to say anything if you want you you can you don't have to No, I fully agree. I think that you know The I think that the best course of action right now is you know, the states that are reopening are doing so, you know, they're They are taking the necessary precautions to do so But then you have several states like mine I'm one of you know, the the four states that everybody talks about, you know That we have the four worst governors in the entirety of the united states of america This is not about the virus anymore. It's about maintaining control. I mean, I think that there's so many, you know Factors here about whether or not to open or reopen and the fact of the matter is is that whenever it comes down to it Like we probably are going to see At least somewhat of a second wave whenever we open up people have been shut into their homes for three months Their immune systems are declining. They're not coming in contact with germs And they haven't come in contact with this virus So there's no way to tell whether or not their immune system is going to be able to fight it And with a weakened immune system from being locked down and locked away from people and not being outside and not getting the Same amount of interactions that we do every day. Yeah, there's a significant chance that we're going to see A second wave here and then you have to play in the factor of, you know There are going to be a significant amount of people that if we say that we're going to shut down again They're going to say absolutely not we're not doing that again And then you're going to see a level of resistance there And it's it's really hard to tell how that'll play out As far as government intervention goes, you know, do you force people to shut down again? Whenever they're openly resisting that After all of these riots and cities burning. I don't see that going very well With tensions being as high as they are I think that there's a lot of factors that play into this. I think our best course of action is, you know States opening up taking the precautions that need to be taken Let individual businesses do what they're going to do and let people decide whether or not they're going to go into those businesses or not If there if there's a business that's not, you know Forcing you to wear a mask to go in or, you know, maintaining social distancing and you decide that you don't want to go into that business Then don't um, again, I think that the government tries way too hard to parent American citizens Um, you know functioning adults can make their own health decisions about whether or not, you know, they're gonna Stay locked down or if they're going to open their businesses back up Or if they're going to patron businesses that aren't practicing social distancing enforcing you to wear masks Um, you know, let adults do what adults are going to do. Um, and you know, unfortunately Some people have to pay the price for, you know, not Being smart with the decisions that they make but it's their mistake to make Gotcha, man. I think just as a I man, I just I don't trust people with their health. I don't think you can manage it One of the biggest pushbacks that I would give against this unfortunately And it's it's something that is loomed for a while like climate change. We don't really talk about it But um, obesity is actually like destroying so many parts of our society It hurts our ability to work efficiently because of people taking sick days because of life spans being decreased It's a burden on our medical system. Um, it causes disproportionate spending on bad goods and services Um, like it like the way that we treat our health in the western world also It's not an american problem. It's a western world problem I think that obesity is like a key example that like people have very bad Risk reward factories in their brain that aren't churning out like optimal decisions And I think it's like a big crash course. I mean arguably we've already crashed in the united states In regards to you know, how we approach our health Like if you were to ask somebody today, would you rather have AIDS or would you rather be fat and have diabetes? I think every single person like I'd much rather be fat and have diabetes Diabetes knocks 10 years off your lifespan and hiv doesn't impact it at all anymore Like people have no idea how bad it is to be diabetic and like man It's like 80 of people in the united states that are overweight 60 70 percent in the in the uk and germany and france Italy like all these other countries have these huge problems. It just doesn't seem like people could manage certain things Um, given the perverse incentives.   We're gonna take care of it for you, you know If you know if you drink yourself to near death where you know, your liver is completely shut down and you need a new one You know, you shouldn't be allowed to get on the transplant list when there are people There are perfectly healthy people that are living perfectly healthy lives that you know, unfortunately Their livers aren't working properly and they they need a new one You know, I think that too often we are As a society we step in and coddle full-grown adults for the Decisions that they made that put them in the position that they're in and It's it's become a way of life in the first world countries This is something that like I used to want to agree with this But I feel like if you like if you if you're a little bit critical about this for a while I feel like it becomes pretty intendable very quickly So like the idea that we hold people responsible for their health is a really difficult thing to to go on We can so we can use like obesity as an example The the only number I've seen on this is I think if you are at an obese bmi You have less than one percent chance to ever return to a normal weight in your entire life Like to get back into a normal bmi range like it's that hard once you've gotten obese to get back There are people that reach obese levels of being bmi before they're even 14 years old right like realistically Um, we're not going to blame like a nine-year-old for we're not going to blame a six-year-old for being overweight Or nine-year-old for being overweight or a 12-year-old for being obese like if they've been fed that way the whole lives So it seems kind of shitty that like well now you're you know 35 and you already are you know pre diabetic have high hypertension like is it your fault? I mean kind of but like damn you've been like set up to fail like right from the very beginning because of your parents And now you have to live with those consequences And you have like such an impossible battle to fight back to get to to what is normal that I don't know It seems like some third party intervention is pretty important there Yeah, I would agree with that but there has to be there has to be a limit like you know Unfortunately, you know, we are living in a huge old boy epidemic in the united states and some Start you know on drugs whenever they're kids, you know, they're their parents They're they're older friends loved ones get them hooked on drugs whenever they're kids and then they grow up into society They become adults and they're still addicted to drugs I mean there comes a point where you do have to take a certain level of responsibility For your continued actions of you know, your problem that puts you in the situation that you're in You know, it's like I think that that argument is too often used to excuse bad behavior as well I mean like people that grow up and poverished, you know, I grew up in poverty my parents were You know dirt poor and so I just didn't break the cycle It's just you know, I had I was handed a bad lot So I should be able to live on welfare for the rest of my life because I was born into a poor home you know, I think that Too often those arguments can be turned on each other back and forth, you know Where is the line and I think that is a hard line to draw sometimes But I think because it's a hard line to draw as a society We've chosen to just not draw it at all and instead now we're you know Praising obesity as being beautiful instead of telling people, you know, you're obese. You're hurting yourself. You're gonna die You need to start taking better care of yourself We've gone so far to the extreme on the other side, you know, we have morbidly obese women posing on the cover of sports illustrated I mean, we've definitely taken this way too far and coddling full-grown adults for having very very serious health problems I mean people always point this out, but I I don't know. I don't buy it Like people always say like oh, well, you know the health at every size movement, you know These sjw's or these liberals are coddling people too much. I mean, that's not true Look the fattest people aren't found in the liberal cities The fattest people are found in you know in like the midwest in the country Like these are and like it's somebody that comes from Nebraska And now lives in la and has traveled, you know all over the world over the u.s It's absolutely true Like you don't find all of these massively overweight people at miami beach Or you know like in downtown chicago, or you know and all of these like more diverse more like liberal sjw san francisco places These are people that you find like deep in louisiana and in alabama or in ohio or nabrasco or kansas Like I really do think that like obesity just seems to be like an impossible to avoid outcome when you have access to Ultra sugary ultra high calorie super cheap food And there's like no drawback to selling it and in terms of like where do we draw the line? I don't know. I feel like sometimes I feel like it's kind of easy to be like if if we could theoretically So the uk's expanded over this if we could theoretically like tax foods that have a certain number of sugar a little bit more Change people's buying habits a little bit They don't want to pay, you know the extra two dollars for you know Some candy bar when there might be another alternative that is a little bit cheaper But it has less sugar and if you can modify people's habits like that I mean if they want to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and spend more money to buy the fattier candy They can but for everybody else who's like easily turned on or off by certain price incentives You just want to buy like the cheaper one that has less sugar I mean if that makes the whole country more healthy It makes us more productive workers If it lessens the burden on our healthcare system if it makes helps people make better decisions I don't know It seems like really hard to be opposed to those types of restrictive measures if they move everybody in more positive direction Or we could just abolish the fda I mean we could but the fda is the one thing that kept us from Man, what was the drug that they sold in europe that was causing babies to come out with like 10 heads and shit It was super fucked and I think it was our fda that said we're not going to let you sell it Somebody in chat will know the name of this drug. Um, somebody help us out that thalamid thalamid. I don't know how to pronounce it thalamide But yeah, that was like that was a drug that was sold in europe for a while that had like really nasty effects on childbirth That our fda actually said I think that the fda does do good things I think it's pretty important to have some type of understanding of like what we're putting in our bodies And having a third party do that rather than a company that's trying to sell me the drug is probably a good idea I would say I think that there is there's an argument to be made for an organization like the fda that is like Yeah, you know, we've looked at this. This is you know, the outcome of these clinical trials Yeah, you don't want that like that's we're not even allowed that to be sold in our country because of it has such horrible outcomes But then you have you know, you have the fda saying like, you know, you can't have this because it's having really really bad birth defects But we're going to put all these regulations on you know selling the healthy food the healthy food's going to be more expensive So people are going to buy the cheap crappy stuff and we're not going to do anything about you know The massive levels of you know, high fructose corn syrup Even though we know all the horrible things that dat does to children's bodies, you know All of these dyes these sugars these additives that are just being pumped into our kid's system that is definitely The leading factor in childhood obesity They're just sitting back and the collecting the paycheck that they're getting from pushing This through and allowing this to happen Well, I mean that's that would be like an argument in favor of like taxing some sugars more or whatever Right, like it's not like high fructose corn syrup. That's that's the sugar that goes into your body like You know like fructose or lactose or anything else But I mean like it has bad impacts because people consume so much of it But like that would be an area where I agree like the fda could come in and be like hey Like if you've got like too much sugar in your in your food Like you have to pay like a slightly higher tax for it to discourage the production of it Like the reason why these foods exist is because they're so cheap and they're so easy to create I don't think it's because companies want to kill us It's just because it's cheaper and easier to make tasty stuff You know using massive amounts of antibiotics or hormones and in animals or you know making like super sugary You know cheap to eat stuff. I think it's just because it's easier to do it and it's more profitable. No I would agree with that Corporations are terrible people Sure. Yeah next up. Thanks for your super chat from talison overlander I'm a little confused on this one said destiny. Also, you're white She's just an observation Got you and thanks for your oh, this is a really okay This is a fun juicy one And it's probably maybe we should have this be the last one for the night just because it's really interesting and really relevant So in talking about the riots and whether or not they're justified both of you seem to be pretty sympathetic and In your own words, uh, you could kind of clarify But in particular asking would you also advocate for violence against state employees? whether it be police or Maybe even, uh, you know other state employees. They didn't specify. Where is the line drawn? I'll let you take this one first. Go for it. Uh, I draw the line at violence against other people Um, I do believe that violence, uh against other human beings Maybe this is just you know, the pro-life activist coming out of me But um, I think that violence against other human beings should be an absolute Absolute last resort and I don't think that systematic oppression Uh Is the extreme enough to the extreme enough where we need to be taking it out on government employees I know there's this coming from a more impoverished area of you know, Philly there are plenty of people around me that don't trust the government don't like the government But they work for the government because that's the only jobs that they could get at the time that they were looking for employment There are plenty of incentives to work for the government and for impoverished people You know those incentives are sometimes worth it And I think that you know, there's not uh, there's not a logical way to go about figuring out what government employees Are either for you know with you or against you whenever it comes to Civil disobedience or even civil violence, you know, you have these riots out here Um, that stems from this horrible awful tragic death of this man um Then you go into a city like mine Um, and there's government employees standing on the street Are you in a question each and every individual one to get their opinions on this man's death before you execute them? Um, I think that there's way too much gray area whenever it comes to that to be able to logically play that out Gotcha and then steven if you want to respond you can you don't have to um, yeah, I mean I I agree like um I think that there are levels of responsibility that you could probably get into So for instance like I wouldn't I don't think I would hold like somebody that works Like that does like paperwork at a police department at the same level of responsibility that I might hold Like the mayor, right? So I I mean like different arguments would obviously be tailored to the actual public official and the hand that they had in crafting some particular policy Maybe um, but I think that once you start getting into I look at more I would I would look at it from a pragmatic effect and from a moral effect morally You probably could justify violence against certain individuals Like if you have a family member who literally gets killed by a police department because of a policy crafted by like a certain Mayor I mean like you you have legitimate grievances there that are pretty hard to argue against But from a pragmatic point of view Most of the people that have these problems belong to like oppressed or minority classes If it turns into like an all out war genocide, you're not going to be on the winning team So like I don't I don't think it's smart or good from a political point to like start killing public officials I start killing people that might be involved in this because if we start like dishing out, you know Like the the big like violent actions I think that like you might get a genocide there that goes in the in the wrong direction or whatever instead of like Genociding bad public officials and horrible policy decisions like people might just start killing black people in the street You know indiscriminately or something like you have to be really careful with that. I think Gotcha and with that we'll wrap up. I want to say I forgot to mention earlier Thanks for subscribing. Vince Vagan saw that pop up on the screen Glad to have you and also want to let everybody know there whether you be Libertarian leaning left gay straight christian atheist you name it no matter what walk of life you come from We do hope you feel welcome here and with that we just want to say thanks so much for being here hanging out with us And thanks so much for our guests for making this a fun time. It's been a really interesting conversation So they're linked in the description folks So if you're listening and you're like, hmm, I like that you can hear plenty more Where that came from by clicking on those links that I put in the description just for you So thanks again, steven nk for being with us tonight. It's been a pleasure Yeah, thanks for having me Thank you so much Absolutely and folks just because we had the stream split in half. Very embarrassing. We are going to uh, Basically, we'll set them both on private. I'll stitch them together and re-release this Discussion and qna in full in one video probably later tonight before batter early tomorrow morning So thanks so much for hanging out with us. Keep sifting out the reasonable from the unreasonable. Take care everybody


So now we're going to dive into Gregor Mendel and his laws that he created to explain some of the genetic variation that occurs from offspring to offspring. First of all, the offspring that result from sexual reproduction are highly varied. We talked earlier about prophase I and the crossover effect that would happen when you have two chromosomes that are in physical contact with one another. This variation doesn't explain how exactly the offspring are so genetically varied not only from their parents, but even from each other in the same generation. So how does this genetic variation occur? It has to be more than just crossover. Gregor Mendel thought the same thing and he started to investigate these principles. The first thing he thought was maybe the genetic variability has to do to the random combination of gametes. One male, one female, unite in fertilization with no rhyme, reason, or logic behind the uniting other than this one's male and that one's female. Another one might think that maybe it was just crossover. Maybe the crossover was enough to lend enough genetic variability to create these variations from offspring to offspring even within the same generation. Gregor Mendel went a little bit more in depth with these reasonings and to do so he created two different laws. The first one is the law of independent assortment and the second is the law of segregation. These laws are what we're going to investigate today and by the end of our discussion we'll really understand why genetic variability results and why it's so important in the propagation of the species. So when Gregor Mendel started off with his genetic experiments he started with what's known as a monohybrid cross. A monohybrid cross is going to involve a parent generation or a P generation that are same except for one characteristic. For example, crossing purple flowers with white flowers. The only thing that they differ in is flower color.  When he ended up finding in the first generation from this cross also known as the F1 generation is that all of the flowers were purple. Not quite understanding exactly what had happened he knew that there had to be a characteristic for purple and for white. Somehow the purple characteristic is masking the white characteristic or maybe it got rid of it all together. Maybe the purple characteristic removed the white. So he decided to test this by crossing the F1 generation with each other, taking this offspring and mating them to create what's known as an F2 generation. In this F2 generation, three-fourths were purple flowers and one-fourth were white flowers. So this proved that the white flower allele did not disappear. It was only being masked by the more dominant allele for flower color which is the purple. His conclusions can be broken down and summarized into four basic points and these basic points are things that we can carry with us throughout genetics to really understand why things happen and how things are divided up. The first one is that there are more than one version of a gene that is going to account for heriable traits. Different types of inheritable traits include flower color, we'll look into later, skin color, eye color, hitchhiker's thumb, attached earlobs. All of those are inheritable traits and they're coded for by a gene. Each person gets one version of the gene from the mother, one version of the gene from the father. These genes may be the same or they may be different just like purple versus white flowers. For each inheritable trait, remember we get one from the mother and one from the father, if these traits are the same then they're considered to be homozygous. If these traits are varying then they're considered to be heterozygous. Now with heterozygous alleles, one is dominant and you're going to see this abbreviated often by a capital letter. So a capital letter means that the trait is dominant and it will mask the recessive trait. The recessive trait is the lowercase letter. So if we were to look at purple flowers a capital P would represent purple because it is a dominant trait whereas a lowercase P would represent white because it's a recessive trait. Heterozygous individuals have one capital letter and one lowercase letter meaning that they are a carrier for the recessive trait. Homozygous dominant individuals mean that you have two dominant alleles, capital P capital P. Homozygous recessive individuals means that you have two recessive alleles, little P little P. Lastly with Mendel's laws each gamete only carries one allele for that characteristic. So each gamete whether it's from the male or for the female only carries one allele being it dominant or recessive it's only going to carry one and when the male unites with the female during fertilization those gametes will come together and the diploid number will be restored. So now that we've kind of discussed all of Mendel's laws and how he came about understanding mono-hybrid crosses we're going to look through one of his cross and we're going to discuss his conclusions to see if we can come up with the same ones from this illustration. So first we start off with the P generation. Remember for mono-hybrid crosses you start off with a true cross. A true cross is where you take a homozygous dominant meaning that you have two dominant alleles and you're going to cross it with a homozygous recessive plant which means you have two recessive alleles. This plant has red flowers, this plant has white flowers. When you cross them together you get an F1 generation which is heterozygous meaning they contain one dominant and one recessive allele. Crossing those together you end up with an F2 generation. This F2 generation contains a mix of homozygous dominant heterozygous and homozygous recessive plants. So let's go over his conclusions. The first conclusion that he had was that there are alternating versions of genes that account for variations in inheritance. We can see here that the one gene for flower color comes in two forms red and white. The second conclusion was that for each inheritable characteristic the offspring is going to get one allele from each parent. We can see with the F1 generation that is heterozygous in nature we've got the dominant allele from one parent I just love when that does that and one from the other parents that creates that heterozygous nature. Next with heterozygous allele one is going to be dominant and one is recessive which we can see heterozygous one's dominant and one is recessive. The recessive allele is going to be masked by the dominant allele as is evident when you look at the homozygous recessive plant. There is no masking effect taking place because there is no dominant allele. And lastly for each inheritable characteristic a gamete is only going to carry one allele for each trait. So the gamete from this plant you had one carrying a capital A and the other carrying a capital A. One lowercase, one lowercase. So four total gametes. One will unite with here to create either offspring. There's going to be a lot of variations and so a lot of times we use what's known as a punnett square to look at those variations. You can see that we took one parent of the F1 generation and laid out the possible gametes. Remember each gamete only carries one allele for each plant and then they cross together to create possible offspring combinations. You can see we have capital A capital A which is homozygous dominant two heterozygous and one homozygous recessive. This punnett square is going to be essential for solving a lot of genetic problems later on. So based on his conclusions we are able to see that the genetic composition of an organism isn't always reflected in the organism's appearance. For example there are various genotypes that one could have. Homozygous dominant, heterozygous or homozygous recessive. Remember that if there is a dominant allele a lot of times it masks the appearance of the recessive allele. And this appearance is going to be masked in the phenotype. The phenotype is the physical appearance of one's genotype. So it's something that you can actually see. It's tangible. So we have three different genotypes but only two different phenotypes. Remember these are going to wow look what I did. These are going to create a red flower. This is the only thing that creates a white flower. These ratios are not always going to be equal. So you could always have three genotypes, two phenotypes, sometimes they'll be equal. It just depends on that particular gene and that particular expression. So Mendel's law of segregation is going to describe the inheritance of a single characteristic. We know that alleles will separate that one gamete will contain one allele, another gamete will contain the other. It could be dominant or it could be recessive. But that chromosome is going to separate during metaphase that you create different varying haploid daughter cells instead of identical cells which are produced from mitosis. So this law of segregation explains that when you have separation of these chromosomes the sister chromatids are going to be on their own from that point on. And it's up to the luck of the draw to see which sister chromatid gets into which gamete and then which gamete is selected for the process of fertilization.

It's time to go to higher places in your prayer life.  It's time to go higher. I want to talk to you about the seven realms of prayer. I want you to publicly declare, make it a public comment, a public prayer. Write this in the comment section right now. Three simple words. Take me higher. If you're ready for the Lord to take you to greater heights in the realms of prayer. Now, when I talk about the seven realms of prayer, I'm not talking about different worlds or different dimensions. It's actually quite simple what I mean by the realms of prayer. I'm talking about the different realities of prayer, the different facets of prayer. And we begin with number one, adoration. John 4.24 says, For God is spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. Really, prayer is simple interaction with God. And one of those ways in which we interact with God is through worship. Now, true worship is born of spirit and truth. What does that mean? Well, all true worship is a response to revelation. You can sing without a revelation. You can dance without a revelation. You can clap your hands and jump up and down without a revelation. But you can't truly worship without a revelation. So, revelation comes by truth, knowing the Word, knowing Christ, the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And as the Holy Spirit begins to reveal Jesus, we see the truth. And our being begins to respond to that truth by the Spirit. And that is where worship is born. Worship is born of the Spirit. It is your being responding to God's being. It is giving God glory as you see God's glory. You begin to reflect that marvelous light. And when you capture that glimpse of His glory, everything in you, everything about your being begins to cry out in praise and in worship. Now, often believers, when they go to pray and they begin to pray, they may struggle to at first find the words that can initiate that prayer moment. But this is where worship is such a powerful tool in the prayer life. When you don't know what to pray, worship. Just begin to adore Him. Just begin to respond to Him. Sometimes worship can simply be the intensity of attention. What we give our attention to, we begin to obsess over. And obsession is a form of worship. I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with the presence of the Holy Spirit. So, worship is that first realm. It's an important component of prayer. And it actually helps to break you through that fog when you begin to pray of not knowing where to go. You start, you enter in stillness, you begin to worship Him and adore Him and focus on Him and then you become pooled into greater realms of glory. Number one is adoration. Number two is supplication. That simply means the prayer request or asking of God. Philippians 4-6-7 says, don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Worry is how your flesh prays. Worry is a pointless, powerless attempt at control. Don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. And notice here that the Scripture says that you are to tell God what you need while thanking Him for what you have. There's this misconception, this religious idea that tells us that we ought not ask God for anything. Don't ask God for anything. Don't ask Him to bless you. Don't ask Him to give you a job. Don't ask Him to bless you financially. Don't ask Him to bless your marriage or your family. Well, that's just nonsense. The Scripture tells us that we ought to take our prayer request to God. Now, to balance this thought, of course, we have to recognize that it's not all about blessings. It's not all about material gain. It's not all about the things of this world. But the Scripture makes it clear that God does want us to present our prayer request to Him. In fact, it is the prayer request that makes it easier to pray. Why? Because verse 7 tells us, then you will experience God's peace. So when I unburden myself by giving to Him all of my prayer requests, when I give to Him all of my concerns and worries, when I pass to Him the list, at least for the moment of prayer, all of the things that I have to do in life and I just give those over to Him, I become free. I become liberated. The weights of the world begin to fall off of me. The tethers that bind me to the cares of this earth begin to become torn and I am lifted to higher places and the peace of God fills my heart. When you begin to submit your prayer request to God, you're placing your concerns in His hands. So yes, make that prayer list. Yes, pray for your loved ones. Yes, pray for your needs. Well, also maintaining a posture of gratitude as the Scripture commands us to do. And what begins to happen when you unburden yourself, the chaos within you begins to calm because you're no longer worried about all of the distractions that keep you from focusing on prayer. And then that peace fills your heart and watch this now. That peace fills your heart and it initiates the depth of prayer. Here is where most believers make their big mistake. They come to the Lord, they give them their prayer requests. He hears them. Then the peace of God fills their heart. They wave at God and say, thank you, Lord, I received your peace. I'm so happy. And then they walk out of the prayer room without pursuing the presence of God. Peace is not the conclusion of prayer. It's the starting point. When you give your burdens over to God by means of the prayer request, his peace fills your heart and that peace is to be used to enter deeper into prayer without distraction. Number three, confrontation. James four seven says, submit yourselves then to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. First Peter five, eight through nine says, be alert and sober.  Resist him standing firm in the faith because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. Now confrontation is what I would call spiritual warfare. There is a dynamic of prayer in which we ought to confront the powers of darkness. We ought to pray for those in our lives who are bound by the enemy's power. We ought to pray against any demonic influence. We ought to resist the devil that he might flee from us. Now it's important that while we recognize that we have a real enemy, while we recognize that the enemy will attack us at times, we must not become obsessed specifically and solely on this one point of prayer. Many believers fall into the trap of imagining that this is the totality of prayer, the confrontation element or the spiritual warfare aspect, and they make their whole Christianity, their whole walk with God about fighting off the devil. When it's actually quite simple, when you walk in the way of the Holy Spirit, that is a form of resisting the enemy. Still there are times in prayer. Hear me clearly now. There are times in prayer where we ought to speak out and pray against the power of the enemy, the power of his influence, not just in our lives, but in the lives of those around us. So confrontation or spiritual warfare prayer is a very important element of prayer. So number one, so far adoration two, supplication three, confrontation number four, contrition. Matthew chapter six verses eight through 13 says this, don't be like them for your father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him. Pray like this our father in heaven. May your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need and forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us. Now right here in verse 13, we see a reference to the type of prayer I just mentioned in point number three. And don't let us yield to temptation but rescue us from the evil one. So there again, we see confrontation where we are to resist the enemy and we are to pray against the temptation that the enemy tries to use against us. But look here for point number four at verse number 12 and forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us. Contrition or repentance is an important part of prayer. It's in the Lord's prayer. We are to ask God for forgiveness. Now this doesn't mean that we are to list every single sin and that if we somehow forget about one sin that we committed that we're doomed for all of eternity. No, this is about posturing yourself in agreement and alignment with the will and the word of God. This is about aligning your mind with God's mind. This is about coming into agreement with him by saying, I agree, these things in my life need to go. And it's spiritual maintenance, something that we ought to do on a regular basis to have the Lord search us, point out anything within us that is not of him and then turn from that in agreement with him. This is something we ought to practice in prayer regularly, not condemnation but contrition, not constantly replaying all of the mistakes from our past for which we've already been forgiven, not replaying the things that we've already repented of, but spiritual maintenance by acknowledging that there are things presently in our lives that need to be fixed, areas that need to be smoothed out, areas in which we need to turn from wrongdoing and come into that repentance lifestyle. Number five, meditation. Now when I say meditation, it's going to freak some people out. They'll imagine all of this new age imagery but I'm not talking about new ageism. I'm talking about meditation, something that was originally described in Scripture. You see, worldly meditation tells you to empty your mind. Why? Because influence comes in emptiness. When the enemy is looking for a place of influence, he looks for places that are empty. So worldly meditation says empty your mind, godly meditation says fill your mind with the word and yes, devotion to the word or meditation on the word is a form of prayer. Why? Because it's interaction with God. What is meditation? Meditation simply and biblically speaking is repetition in thought. Psalm chapter one verses one through three, all the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or stand around with sinners or join in with mockers. Verse two, but they delight in the law of the Lord meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither and they prosper in all they do. Here we see some of the benefits listed in regards to those who are meditating on the word, who have a lifestyle of a love for the word of God. They flourish in each season, not in some seasons, in every season they flourish and they prosper and all they do. Why? Because they're grounded on the word. If reading the word is eating the word, then meditation or repeating the thought of scripture again and again is digestion. So when you read it or receive it, that's the eating of the word. But when you meditate, that's the digestion of the word. That's how it becomes a part of you. To continually think about the scriptures that you heard and read. To continually think about the truths revealed by the Holy Spirit through the Bible. That is how you meditate.   Filter thoughts that are not of God. Through that filter of truth in the word of God, meditate on the word. Number five is meditation. Number six, intercession. First Timothy chapter two, verse one says, I urge you first of all to pray for all people. Ask God to help them, intercede on their behalf and give thanks for them. So intercession is a very powerful form of prayer. It has to do with praying for others. You know in the scripture we see others praying for healing on behalf of another. We see them praying for salvation on behalf of another, blessing on behalf of another, protection on behalf of another. So you and I can pray whatever God has promised. If God has promised it, you can pray it. And you can pray it for someone else. So as you are interceding, you can pray for the protection and the health and the blessing and the favor of your loved ones. You can pray for those who haven't come to the cross yet to come to the cross. You can constantly pray that the Holy Spirit will guide them and bring people into their lives that will share with them the gospel message. You can pray that they be protected from the strategies of the enemy, that they would be preserved and that they would ultimately be set on a path that is godly. Your prayers matter. Remember this, it is impossible to accomplish nothing in prayer. For every moment you are praying, you are accomplishing something. Whether you see it in the natural or not, whether you fill it in your emotions or not, whether you consider it something that makes sense in your mind or not, whether the person is responding in the way you want or not, prayer is working. Prayer does work. Prayer will continue to work. So intercede for your loved ones and don't give up. Number seven, appreciation or thanksgiving. This is like praise, but this is more so talking about the things that God has done. This is posturing yourself in gratitude. Psalm 100 verse 4 says, enter his gates with thanksgiving. Go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. Much like the prayer request, the giving of thanks clears the way into his presence. You need to make a habit, we all do, of thanking God for the blessings that he has placed in our lives.   You experience relationship with them in the material world. Think about the blessing of God. We can use our material to bless the church, to expand the kingdom, to help those in need. We ought to be thanking him, yes, for the material too, but also thank him for the spiritual aspects. Thank him for his love. Thank him for his mercy. Thank him for his grace. Thank him for his patience. Amen to that. Thank you, God, for your patience with someone like me. Thank you for my salvation. Thank you for the joy that daily overflows by the power of the Holy Spirit. And you're going to find that as you begin to thank God, it's a form of praise. The opposite of this is to complain. Complaint is how your flesh praises the negative. But when you thank God for what he is doing, for what he has given you, for who he has placed around you, for what he's doing in you and through you, the material and the spiritual, the earthly and the heavenly, thanking him for all aspects of his blessings, this postures you in the place of thanksgiving and this causes you to go into his presence unhindered. Now, when I say go into his presence, I don't mean that he's not omnipresent. Of course, the presence of the Holy Spirit is everywhere all the time. I'm talking about entering into that awareness of his nearness to where you experience encounters in the glory of God. So just to recap here, adoration, supplication, confrontation, contrition, meditation, intercession, appreciation. Let's pray right now that the Lord would cause you to become a house of prayer, that you would be a tabernacle that hosts his presence. Come on, let's ask him now to give us desire for prayer and to remind us about prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in all these realms as you continue to grow in your prayer life. Father, I pray it be done in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I pray that you would fan into flame desire for prayer. Let it be a fire within our hearts. Make us houses of prayer. Tell him that right now. Say, Lord, make me a house of prayer. Lord, I pray that you would do this by the work of the Holy Spirit. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray. I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen. Now, don't click off this video. I want to ask you something. What is waiting for you on the other side of your obedience? What is waiting for you on the other side of your step of faith? You know, Jesus said that sometimes the people of the world are more shrewd or more wise than the church. Do you realize that many times, well, everyone else is panicking.  Let's exercise wisdom. Let's not look at our surroundings. Let's look at the promises of God. The promises of God are certain. The promises of God are trustworthy. And let's see kingdom opportunities in this season. What is waiting for you on the other side of your step of faith? You say, God, I know there are things you placed in my heart to do. God, there are goals that you have given to me. God, there's a ministry that you've called me to walk in. God, there are blessings that you promised me and my family. And while many people are too fearful to step into the blessing of God, those who live by faith take steps of faith and step into that blessing. Like Peter, who exercised his faith to step out of the certainty of the boat and on to the water. He wasn't walking on the water. He was walking on a word. He was walking on a promise. Like the children of Israel, when they were stepping into the promised land, when they were stepping into what God had told them was rightfully theirs, they marched around the walls of Jericho and then released shouts of victory.

Cass County authorities are asking for help in locating a vehicle involved in a hit and run collision with a pedestrian on Sunday. Authorities say a 37-year-old woman suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a Fargo North Dakota hospital. The collision happened just before midnight near Onigum on County Road 13. When deputies arrived at the scene, the vehicle was no longer there. The Cass County Sheriff's Office, the Minnesota State Patrol, are investigating the crash and requesting assistance in locating the vehicle involved. The maker model is unknown but most likely has passenger side damage with a possibly a broken mirror or broken passenger window. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Cass County Sheriff's Office at the number on the screen.

Hello, my name is Matthew Brown and I am part of the Infrastructure Protection Grants Unit 2 here over at Cal OES. So I am a program representative for the California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program and essentially what I do is one, help advocate for the grant program and two, act as a liaison between our Nonprofit Security Grant recipients and Cal OES to make sure that our Nonprofit Security Grant awardees help better secure the facilities. So one of my roles here as a program representative for the California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program is I get to go out into the community and when I'm out in the community I get to help inform eligible non-profits to one, how to apply and two, if awarded to help utilize our grant award and help make their facilities safer. So any eligible non-profit in California is able to apply for the California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program and typically what we see is any organization that is susceptible to violence or terrorism or violent attacks. A lot of those could be health organizations, legal aid, but the majority of them are typically are religious non-profit organizations in California. So what makes this grant most important is that it provides safety and security for our most vulnerable populations. So one thing I would like to add is I love the fact that I do great work here at Cal OES but I would be nothing without my team members. I am Matthew Brown and I am Cal OES.


Well, hello and welcome to Jonathan from the Heart. I'm Jonathan Asley of JonathanAsley.com and I'm so excited to be doing this short video for you today.

And if any time during this video the content resonates with you, please hit that like button so I can be seen in the YouTube algorithms. Really quickly, these are my weekend videos I shoot out on my balcony. Very similar to the videos I shoot in my private group called Midlife Love Mastery. This is a group where you can have direct access to me on a regular basis and based on the questions you post in the group, I shoot personalized videos just for you. So check out the link below to join my VIP group called Midlife Love Mastery. Let's talk about this makes him think, I hope I don't lose her. Ending up the thumbnail for the picture here. So it's interesting, I was reading some articles about how to show a man you really care, how to show a man you really care. And first off, let me just say this, ladies, this isn't a singular thing because men should be thinking the same thing. Men should be thinking, how can I make her feel like she is the one? How can I make her feel good? What can I do to make this relationship even better? That would be the ideal situation. Now I'm a big believer of leading by example, certainly setting your standards right from the get go and making sure you have boundaries and also leading by example. So coming back to what I was sharing a moment ago about reading some articles about how to make your man happy and such like that, I came across the 1950s good housekeeping article that talked about how to be a good wife, how to be a good wife. Now let me just say this, it turned out that this was a fake. It didn't actually exist. But I want to share with you a couple of things that was listed here because I thought it was kind of interesting. So it said here, have dinner ready for him, plan ahead, prepare yourself, take 15 minutes to rest and put on your nice makeup and make yourself look pretty. And here's the one that says be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day made need a lift. So give him a lift up, clear away the clutter. Obviously this is for a married couple. Minimize all the noise, be happy when you see them, greet him with a warm smile. And while those are all very good things to do in relationship, as I started this conversation, it seems that the old patriarchal way, which was kind of more the one up, one down, men were here and a woman was here kind of thing. I say the old patriarchal way, there are many people that still desire that. Certainly there's men that desire that. There's women that would prefer to be in a one up, one down situation. I'm more of looking at a relationship from a partnership perspective, from the perspective of seeing it as a two lane street, as two people mutually making effort together. Mutually making effort together. This starts from the very first date.  I mean, it's a S show. I don't curse on my weekend videos, so instead of saying S-H-I-T, I'm spelling the words but not saying it. And that's what it is, S-H-I-T show out there. Now that sounds kind of crass and that sounds kind of mean maybe for me to share that. I'm being realistic, I'm being realistic. The fantasy way that relationship advice is being given is not serving anyone. And what I mean by the fantasy is that it's a lot of prince charming kind of energy. In other words, a man is going to come claim you and all you have to do is sit in your feminine energy and that will magically work out. That's the fantasy. And also the fantasy is the unbelief that most people are genuine. Most people are authentic. Most people are honest. Most people this way. And sadly, most human beings are rather dysfunctional, rather dysfunctional. And what I mean to say is their emotional maturity and their relationship skills are rather dysfunctional. And while there's a significant percentage of the population that has clinical issues, I mean, it makes it very difficult for them to actually be in a healthy happy relationship because they experience significant trauma in their childhood or maybe in their adult life that caused them to put up walls, that caused them to put up defense mechanisms for themselves because they didn't feel loved as a child. They didn't feel loved. They didn't feel cared for or whatnot. Those are the clinical people. Most of the time, the clinical people have some also a chemical reaction going on that causes an imbalance and makes it very difficult for them to lean into a relationship. And while I say that, you know, they're 20% of the population is emotionally healthy and have good relationship skills, I'm going to say that's probably too high of a percentage. It's probably less than 10%. And then the vast majority of humans are dysfunctional. Their capacity to be in a healthy happy relationship is very difficult because nobody teaches us good communication skills, particularly when there's conflict in a relationship. Most people operate from a very myopic place of it's about them and it's about winning. Most people operate. So what happens is all these defense mechanisms makes it very difficult to actually build any true intimacy with someone, true intimacy and intimacy is into me you see. And so I want you to think about the dating process, the dating process, at least the way it's sold is men come off chivalrous and they're supposed to court you and they're just supposed to do everything perfect so you can just surrender to this relationship and you'll live happily ever after. And yet sadly, that's not what's happening because there's a lack of intentionality in the dating process because we're meeting total strangers these days. We're meeting total strangers. That's part of the primary reason why there's not that same intentionality as it maybe was 50, 60 years ago and I want you to take a step back in time for a second and think about it 50, 60 years ago. Most of the time couples who met, they met in their same town, their same village, their same tribe, their workplace, there was this sense of familiarity. They knew your family, you knew their family, you knew their friends, they knew their, your friends. So when you got a chance to get together, you already knew a lot about the person. You already knew a lot about the person. Or at least you felt safe because there was degree, enough degrees of separation, but note what I mean to say, not a lot of, there was almost no degrees of separation. You literally felt safe because you knew their community and they knew your community. So the challenge with dating today is the under, is really about how to get to know another human being. How to genuinely get to know them at a heart-centered level. You know, it's interesting in a video I did just a few days ago, I mentioned how many people have sex together on the third, fourth, fifth date, no matter whenever it happens, but they don't know the person's favorite color. Sometimes they don't know the person's backstory. Sometimes they don't even know the person's last name. I know a lot of last names in my phone are Bumble, Hinge, Match.com, OKCupid, just to say them, just to give you some idea out there. By the way, my coffee mug says, Ignorance is Blessed. It's a podcast I did a while ago. Lot of fun on that podcast. By the way, my t-shirt says, I was taught to think before I act. So if I smacked the SHIT out of you, the rest assured I've thought about it and I'm comfortable in the decision. You know, I thought this was a cute shirt. As you notice in my weekend videos, I've been mixing it up with these. I'll be candid with you. I don't know if this is true because I do find that I'm a human like anyone else where I can get reactive and I can get defensive and oftentimes I don't think before I speak. So there is a little bit of non-truth with this shirt that I'm wearing. And most of the time, I am actually leaning in as far as my videos for you. It's all about leaning into the wake-up call, to shift perspective, how to be better in relationship, how to improve oneself. And by the way, I'm going to share with you in a few minutes four things that relates to this topic. How to make it so he hopes he never loses you. So I'm sorry I got off track on this. Really quickly though, I really want to encourage everyone, everyone to read this book Emotional Intimacy. It's a little bit thick, if you will. What I mean to say, it's not an easy read. Why I'm sharing this with you, coming back full circle to what I was talking about. Is that relationships are dysfunctional because a lack of intimacy. And as I said a moment ago, intimacy, into me you see. Really getting to know the person at a heart-centered level. And as I shared before, it's very difficult because we're meeting total strangers which requires asking way better questions in the early states of dating, mating, or relating. I know it's so critically important to get a sense, is this person on the same page with me? And if you need help with that, check out the link to a free discovery call with me because my whole coaching practice is to teach you how to ask better questions based on your personality, based on your personality. So it's specific to you and how to ask those questions so you know whether or not you're wasting time with the wrong person and inviting in the right person in your life. And I will say this. Intimacy is the most important facet to building that kind of relationship that you say, I hope, you know, the guy is saying I hope I don't lose her, I hope I don't lose her, I hope I don't lose her. It requires going deeper than the surface and it requires this understanding and I'm about to share next is critically important because relationships are built on trust, built on trust. It's not about trust whether or not they're going to be unfaithful or really I want to focus on the idea of trust is not about the idea if they're going to leave you for someone else or leave you because real trust is the space of going of feeling like this is so critically important feeling like if you're not feeling good, I'm not feeling good. If I'm not feeling good, you're not feeling good. In other words, your needs matter to me and my needs matter to you. I'm going to repeat that your needs matter to me. So if you're not feeling well, I'm not feeling well. If you're feeling happy, I'm feeling happy. That's what trust in a relationship is all about is building that space of the other person's needs matter to you and vice versa. It's so critically important and a lot of times it's very one-sided. A woman will care more about a man's needs than the other way around. And I think it's because women tend to be more nurturing in this area more so than men. So what I'm about to share next, I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that it's a two-lane street for you. In other words, the both of you are operating from this place. So getting to that space of where he operates from, I hope I never lose her. I put together my list for you here, but I want to share this with you. And I think these are four things that will truly help your relationship. And again, leading by example. So number one, is the recognition to say thank you or I appreciate you every time he or she makes effort to do something nice for you or for your future together. Knowing someone is grateful for you never gets old. Now, I want to share something before I go into too deep on this, is that there's men have a very difficult time receiving love. We really do. I think women have a slightly easier time receiving love. I will say, I think it's because men are taught to stuff their emotions, stuff their feelings, the very young age. So it makes it difficult for them to receive love. And this is why I encourage you to reinforce this appreciation. I appreciate you. Thank you, saying it for the little things as well as the big things. And by the way, men should be doing this for you as well, because ultimately, a lot of people think what makes a man hope he never loses her. By the way, that does sound very fear-based. Let me just say that sounds fear-based. I'm not operating from a place of fear. I'm really thinking this from a place of appreciation. Appreciation, I appreciate you so much, I hope I never lose you. Not from a, I'm afraid I lose you to someone else. It's just, that's the peace when there's mutual appreciation. You really hope you don't lose that person to the ultimate loss of all. And that's life itself. And you hope you keep them in your life for as long as you can. And several of the things I'm about to share will prepare you for that. So number two on my list is find out his love language or find out each other's love language. The easiest way for some people to feel loved in specific ways is their love language. And if you're not familiar with the book, The Five Long Languages, I realized I didn't pull it out, is there's words of affirmation, or for us, Leo's, it's words of adoration, physical touch, quality time, acts of service, and gifts. Find out what his love language is. If it's acts of service, then start thinking of ways you can do little things for him.  Because it doesn't have to be about big things. If it's quality time, then make sure that your life isn't so busy that you create time for the relationship. Or if it's physical touch, which most men have physical touches, number one, two, or three, so do women. Physical touch is critically important. And words, again, if you're with this Leo, you can't say enough words of not appreciation, but adoration, or it's words of affirmation. I'm gonna say for us, Leo's, it's words of adoration. So make sure you find out each other's love language and you're expressing it to each other regularly. Number three, this is critically important. When fighting, always remember to come from a place of being on the same team. As your partner, remember that you wanna come together to figure out what would be the best for both of you. If one wins, then you both lose, okay? It's so critically important to learn really good communication skills and your relationship. And I highly recommend checking out the book Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. By the way, there's a link below to all Jonathan recommends books. Learning how to communicate your boundaries and your standards in a way that's seen, heard, and understood. And certainly learning how to express oneself in a healthy way. So helps when there's conflict, because when you operate from a place of how can we win, this is what happens. If you operate from the place of how do I win, this is what happens. So learning how to what I call fight fair. And lastly, showing a man respect by asking his advice. This is when you ask a man his advice about something in your life. In other words, something in your life that would make a difference. You need some, not that you need the help, but when your partner can help you with an area in your life that's struggling, that allows the man to be in this empowered state. And men really do appreciate, they really do. They feel respected when you seek their counsel. They feel respected. It's one of the highest honors you can give to a man is to seek his counsel. And so this will help him bond you to you and feel a sense of appreciation. And as I said earlier, this should be a two lane streak together, two lane street. And if you want to create that two lane street relationship, I highly recommend checking out this book, How to Make Love All the Time by Barbara DeAngelis, How to Make Love All the Time. Because the content in this book is going to build that kind of relationship that he hopes, I hope I never lose her because I appreciate her so much. I want her in my life for as long as I can possibly have her. And I want you to feel the same way about him. So this is a mutual effort on both sides. So if you want to get to that space, it's going to require doing a lot of heavy lifting ahead of time. I know you don't like this. I know most of you just have this fantasy that everything should just magically work out. Well, if that were really true, why is the divorce rate over 50% here in the United States? And why is the other half of couples who are married miserable? It's because they don't put any effort into genuinely, genuinely building that intimacy with each other, that real deep into me you see that emotional safety that says, I want this person for my rest of my life because I appreciate them. All right, I think I made my point here. I hope you found value in this video. Please post a comment below if you have something to share. I do my best to read them off.

All right, I think this will be a great place to wrap up this video. First off, I'm going to give myself a big, gigantic, Jonathan Bear hug of self-love. I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's OK. I'm going to ask you to turn to a pet, a friend, a pet, a pillow, a teddy bear. Oh, I already forgot my own line and I don't have my teddy bear with me because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we can all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye-bye now.


Alright guys, so what I'm doing here is I'm wiping the farthest biospot that I see that I indicated. As it's coming through, what I don't want when I'm working my way up and we're moving around this general area, I don't want to spread it on my feet. I don't want to spread it on my body and spread it other places and making more work for us and you know other things like that.  That way we have an area of movement here.
