My name's Regan. I work for Anthony J. Lyon, International Detective Bureau. They call me The Lion's Eye. Jeff Regan, investigator, starring Frank Graham as Regan with Frank Nelson as Anthony J. Lyon. So stand by for mystery and suspense and adventure in tonight's story of The Man in the Church. You'll find the Cosmopolitan building on 7th Street near Olive. A pile of Mike Granite holding up a brass clock that hasn't kept time since 1932. That's the year Anthony J. Lyon, the guy I work for, took out a 30-year lease on Suite 308. You can't miss it right after you get off the elevator, International Detective Bureau. Good bargain counter if you want to buy your trouble wholesale. Right after the SC game last Saturday I walked in. The Lion was at his desk. He had a sparkle in one eye and a jeweler's glass in the other. And even though he tried to cover up, I could tell he was looking at a $50 bill.  Intrigued, fascinating, a work of art really. Graham took a good picture. Yeah, it didn't be though. Ulysses Simpson Grant was one of our greatest presidents, Regan. So you're starting a collection. I've already started one. This is my first showing. All right. Who's the new client? Uh, client? Oh, I didn't get this from a client, really. Rather an old friend. Just a little errand. Yes, I called you in because I want you to do a favor for a friend. Last time we did a favor for a friend, he turned out to have a record as long as a rolled-up kite string. Oh, Pincall's not like that, not at all. Pincall? Yes, Charles Pincall, our, uh, my friend. He, uh, he wants a bonded licensed operator at his place at six o'clock tonight. Capital Hotel on Aliso Street. And just what does Charles Pincall, Capital Hotel, Aliso Street want this bonded licensed operator to do at six o'clock? No, see here, Jeffrey. There's no need to take that attitude. Old Pincall wants someone to deliver a cash amount of five thousand bucks. You took another job without asking any questions, didn't you? What do you mean, ask questions? When a man who lives in a two-bit hotel on Aliso Street needs a licensed operator to deliver five thousand bucks, there's questions to be asked. Well, I ask questions. Well, then give me some answers. All right, all right. Oh, I lied to you a little about his being an old friend. He isn't that really, but the man asked for help. I couldn't turn him down. He, he touched me in some way, Jeffrey. Here. There was a look about him. Gentle. Saw. A fifty dollar look. I tell you, Mr. Pincall was a distressed soul when he came in to see me. If you could have seen him so disturbed, so helpless. It was our opportunity to help a brother in distress. Charles Pincall is our brother, Rick. Come on, answers. Start talking. All right, all right. I'll tell you what I can. Pincall has a problem, but it's in strictest confidence. I told him I'd give him our best operator, you, Jeffrey. But I had to swear I wouldn't divulge details even to you. But I promise it's nothing illegal. Just a simple little job. My word, Jeffrey. If you're lying to me again. I'm not. Go see this man, Jeffrey. Take one look at him. You'll see I'm telling the truth. Now, I told him you'd be there. The reputation of the agency is at stake. You took his fifty bucks. Yes, I took his fifty bucks. And we're on the hook. Yes, we're on the hook. Okay, okay, Fatso. I'll see him. Just see him. But you stay right here. Stay here? What? Because if this ball has a curve on it, I'm coming back here to round that fifty dollars right down your throat. Well, the lion had put on a good act, and I went for it again. Maybe it was because I figured he lied so much, he'd accidentally have to tell the truth once in a while. Or maybe it was because he looked different when he was describing Charlie Penkole. Anyhow, it was dark on Elisa Street, and it was trying to rain. When I found a white blister over the sidewalk that blinked out, capital hotel rooms one dollar and up. I walked through a lobby that smelled like last year's laundry. Nobody was behind the desk, but I spun the register around and picked up a Charles A. Penkole in room age. It was upstairs, in between a broom closet and a fire escape. I didn't have to knock. A tall, big-boned man with a lot of gray hair had this shorter one by the lapels. Don't think this is why you've been out of touch. Yeah, Johnny, I've been out of touch, but I don't know how to handle a punk like you. Now listen to me. Get in my way once again, and I'll break your half. Look, I'm warning you.    Drop the heater, Buster. Elisa, drop it. I've got a lot of friends, Charlie. They always show up just in time. I remember you too, Mr. I remember you too. Get out of here. Go on, get out. I remember this. I remember all of this. You're a pretty good soldier, what's your name? Regan. Oh, yes, I'm Thaks. Thaks, Regan. How do you use that thing, you know? We try to keep our clients alive until we've earned our fees. Clients? I'm from international. Oh.  Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Come on in, Regan. Yeah, make yourself at home. It isn't much. The wire bed and the neon sign on sign have had better, Regan. Yeah.  Why not? Well, they've got a lot of questions to ask, Regan. I'll answer them fast. Yeah, here you are. Thanks. Suppose you start with a punk. Johnny Lago? Mm-hmm. Look, he hasn't got anything to do with you and me. He's a separate fugitive. Sure, he's used up 38 before. You know him? I've seen him in the mugged files. Yeah, I can handle him. I want you to handle something else. Yeah. What's the look for? I've seen that kind of suit before. Did 10 bucks come with it? Yeah, just got out of San Quentin. Did 18 years. It's over. Time's served. It shows. You don't do that much vacation standing on your rear, Regan. It's hard to get any exercise in a 10 by 8 room. And the nights, too, are always a couple of million years long. You got somebody to worry about. Somebody like Lago? No, no, I tell you, he's nothing. I was in 29. He was a truck driver who had big ideas. He's still got him, but he's got nothing to back him up with. All right. You got somebody else to worry about? Yeah. His name is Sidney Chambers. I owe him some money.  I can pay Chambers, but I can't see him. I'm gonna be busy. You're bonded. I can trust you to carry the money. Messenger boys are bonded, too. It's a simple job, Regan. That's why I'd only pay the lie in 50 bucks to have it done. There you go. 5,000 right there. Go ahead, count it. I'll take your word. Where do I find your man? Sidney Chambers will be at the planetarium in front of the entrance. He'll be in a black suit wearing a white carnation to briefcase. And just like that, I walk up and hand him five grand. Just like that? How do you know I won't feel like taking a trip? I don't. But then I still haven't got anything to worry about. You got that much money? No, Regan. I got me. And Charlie Pinkle never let anybody put anything over on him. What about the state of California? It was a bum wrap. Oh, sure it was. Good night. I left him sitting there. He looked as happy as a U-Bangie with a fever blister. Maybe the line was telling the truth. So I put the five grand in my pocket, but it felt hot. Like a dynamite stick with a short fuse. It was 10 minutes to wait when I parked in front of the planetarium. A little guy in a black suit was standing at the entrance looking at his watch. I was afraid he was going to get trampled, but the briefcase and white carnation saved him. Going to the lecture? It's all about a trip to the moon tonight. Oh, here is it? Well, I don't think I'll go in. I'm expecting a friend. A friend named Charlie Pinkle? What? Pinkle. You're going to meet him here? Yes, but you can't be Pinkle. You're much too young. But I'm not Pinkle. I don't understand, Mr... Regan. Mr. Pinkle promised me faithfully he'd meet me here tonight. You had parents, didn't you? Name? I'm Sidney Chambers, but I... You got the briefcase to collect some money in. Did you bring it? Did you really bring it? How much expecting? $5,000 and not a penny less. All right. Well, say now. It's all there. It certainly is. It certainly is. It most certainly is. Yes, indeed. Thank you, Mr. Regan. If I hadn't seen him pat his bulged pocket, I'd have gone on home and played canasta with my landlady. But when I saw him drive away, I began to get a slow feeling. Like all my troubles were already started. So I crawled at my car and followed him.  I had that same feeling when I cut my engine and coasted to a stop and sat there thinking about nothing. I watched a light go on somewhere in the back of the house. I was just putting my cigarette out when the place lit up like a cop in the back. I pulled my gun and started from the door. But I wasn't fast enough to stop that black crook that was in the alley. I found Chambers wrapped around the dining room table. He was holding on to that briefcase, and the $5,000 was still there. But he'd never get a chance to spend it. He was all used up. You better have something good to say, Fatso. Regan, where you been? I've been looking all over the place. You know where I've been. I called his job. I took it three hours ago, and now I need those answers. Answers? You told me Pencola'd filled in on the background of this thing. Well, it's time you shared a sequence with me. Regan, I can't tell you anything. You'd better. A job. All for $50? There's no time for that now. You said it. After you left, I'm Charlie Pencola, an old-time racketeer. And he just got out of Sam Quinton. And somebody's already dead. I got this. I'm calling you from my house in Palos Verdes. It belongs to a little guy named Sidney Chambers. I made the delivery and decided to follow him home. Just as I got here, somebody blew his fuse. What happened to the $5,000? The killer's stealing? It's still here. Still there? Good! I thought that'd get action. I was still there, but I wasn't listening to the lion. I was looking at the traffic cop standing in the doorway. He was looking at what was left of Chambers, at the money spread all around. And then it was me. And I began to feel helpless, like a fiddler without a chin. I'll take your gun.  I want a lesson. It isn't important. Sid, huh? You, uh, got anything to say, mister? Huh, huh? Hmm. Nice gun. Yours? Yeah, it's my gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Just been fired. Those bullets won't match up with the ones in him. You got this all wrong? Money, too. Well, well. Motive? I'll be in plain clothes this time tomorrow. Look, the guy who did it's making time right now. You'll be surprised the kind of drivers we have around Los Angeles. I'm working Palace Verties. I stop a minute, I hear noises like guns. And I just cruise around on my bike where I think I hear the noise. And I find you. All right, killer move. My turn to make a call. I leaned into his gun, spun around and not just whisked down. The bullets went wild and I hit the light switch. Come back here, come back! That gave me time enough to get through the door. He lost me when I ran up the hill and back at the house toward the oil derricks. But I knew we'd keep out on looking. And so would every cop in Los Angeles. I had as much chance as a snowball in a Turkish bath. None of it made sense. I delivered Penko's five grand of a little guy named Sidney Chambers.  But he left that five grand scattered all over the place. And an eager cop who likes double-breasted suits tagged me for the job. Well, when I broke away from that cop, I knew I'd have to get some answers. I made my way back downtown and dropped into the Capitol Hotel. Any key fitted room H. It was as clean as a bookie's stall when a long shot comes in. No Charlie Penko, nothing. The newspaper clipping on the dresser with an ad on how to handle your muscles on one side and part of a society column on the other meant nothing. But the knock on the door had possibilities. Charles, are you in there? Are you asleep? Charles, that's... She was a tall grey-haired woman in a fur coat. She didn't look like Penko's kind of company. Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought this was Mr. Penko's room. He's left town. Maybe I can be of help. No, no, I'm sure you can. I just made a mistake, that's all. I'm sorry, I bothered you. I'm terribly sorry. Well, just a minute, I... Relax. You can see her later. Inside. Come on in, boys. Come in. I wanted Charlie, but you'll do for now. You got a parade permit, Largo? An uneven. This is going to be a quiet little party. You and me and my friends this time. Don't they talk? Sure. Surely talk. Boys, there's a friend that's Charlie Penko. Hello, hi. See? All right, friend of Charlie Penko's. We had all the introductions. Now let's have a party. You took my gun away tonight. I told you I'd remember you. This is going to be fun. Hold on. Here we go with feelings. Oh, she's getting old. She's getting heavy. All right, don't let her boss in. You're just getting the good stuff. Well, it was almost morning when I started to come around. I was still in room H. Some cold water and a trip to the drugstore didn't make me feel any better, but I had some answers to find. The morning papers were full of the brutal murder of city employees in each chamber. They run out to tell how he worked in the Hall of Records. My name was in the article. They'd match the bullets and my gun didn't figure. But homicide had wanted some answers and I didn't have any to give them. I started with that clipping I'd found in Penko's room. It wasn't much, but it had names. Something about a Meredith Gibbons in a Donald Townsend getting married. There was an address in the phone book, Sherman Oaks. Nice house on a nice street. Good morning, darling. I didn't expect you so... Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were Donald. My name's Regan. I'd like to see Meredith Gibbons. Why? Why I'm Meredith Gibbons? Well, please come in, Mr. Regan. Thanks. I'll have to apologize for the appearance of the house I'm packing and all. I'm being married this afternoon. Yeah, I've read about that. Mr. Regan, I'll have to apologize again. I don't believe I know you. No, you don't. Look, I won't take a lot of your time. I'm a private investigator. I'd like to ask some questions. Well, certainly, Mr. Regan, but I don't know... Hey, darling, I'd like to... Oh, Donald, you're here. Good morning, sweetie. Donald, this is Mr. Regan. He's a private detective. He wants to ask me some questions. Oh? Well, glad to meet you, Regan. What's this all about? Probably nothing. Just a lead. Look, do you people know a man named Pencall? Pencall? Oh, no. No, I... It's important. His name's Charles Pencall. No, no, Mr. Regan, I don't... Ah, sorry. Now that the wine... All right. Does the name Sydney Chambers mean anything to you? Oh, sorry again, Regan. Nothing again. I can't think so well. I'm very hurt. Oh, Donald. No, Mr. Regan, I've never heard that name before. You're looking for these names? One of them's dead. Which one? Chambers. He was shot last night. Oh, dear. You've got to find Pencall. Well, sure wish we could help you more, but... Tell me, Regan, why did you come here? I found this clipping about your marriage in Pencall's room. That's funny. Truly, Mr. Regan, I never heard the name before. Donald, you have so many things to do today. Oh, Mother, I want you to meet Mr. Regan. He's a detective. This is my mother. How do you do, Mr. Regan? It was the same grey-haired woman I'd met the night before in Charlie's room. I had to hand it to her. She didn't raise an eyelash. She looked right through me like she was meeting me for the first time. I didn't give her away. There was something in her eyes that said, downed. Mr. Regan, I know you'll excuse us. We have so many things to do. Perhaps Mother can help you. Sure. Bye, Regan. I hope you find your man, Mr. Regan.  They're wonderful children, Mr. Regan. Wonderful. You know what I have to ask you. Yes, I know. The man's been killed. Sit down, Mr. Regan, please. Thanks. That lovely girl who just walked out of the doors, Charles Pencall's daughter. Oh. Yes. Charles married my younger sister in 1929. She never knew what Charles did for a living. She was in the hospital, Mr. Regan, dying while Charles was in court. And when his sentence was pronounced, his daughter was born at a hospital in Glendale. That'd be marvellous. Yes. Go on. Before Charles began his life sentence, he took what money he had left and established an irrevocable trust fund for her and for me. It was his plan. I adopted illegally. He promised that he'd never write or bother in any way and he hasn't. Oh, after so much heartache for her real mother, he was trying to do one decent thing. It worked out? Yes. Yes, he kept his word. He was paroled last week. I read it in the papers. And you went to see him at his hotel? I met you there. Yes. I went to see him last night. The parole officer gave me his address. A little man had been here last week on some pretext for another and I was worried. I thought he was a friend of Charles who might want to make trouble. Nobody else knows about this adoption? No, no, no one, Mr. Reagan. No one at all. Just Charles and I. My sister, well, she had the baby under my name. I see. I read the morning papers.  His name was Chambers. I read about it in the paper. Yeah, that's right. And the police are looking for you, Mr. Reagan. Oh, please, I can't ask you to continue being a fugitive. I know you didn't kill him, but if there's any way at all, Mr. Reagan, oh, listen to me, Meredith can't become involved in something like this. If there's any way to keep her out of it, Mrs. Gibbons, I'll do it. Oh, thank you, Mr. Reagan. Thank you. When I left there, I had a pretty good picture of the whole thing. A check with the Civil Service Commission did the rest as far as Chambers Park fitted in. Besides working at the Hall of Records from 1932 on, he'd worked at the city moored before. And before that, the county hospital was in orderly. And before that, a private hospital in Glendale. But that still left Johnny Largo on stage. The lion had part of it when I found him at the office. Reagan! Who'd you expect? Never mind. Anybody see you?  I know, I know, but those things will happen. Where's that five grand? A cop on the Palace Verde's division is looking at it. Huh? Don't you read the papers? They're looking for me. They want to talk to me about a murder. Oh, and I wanted to see how that much money looked all at once. What have you been telling Homicide? That I don't know anything about it. Well, maybe I better make a call. Now, look, look, Jeffrey, we've got to find out who tagged Chambers. It's the only way we can square ourselves with Homicide. Are you afraid of that jailhouse coffee? But please, please, I had another one of my attacks today. I don't know when you were out there somewhere in this vast city, hunted because of my indiscreteness. Jeffrey, I've done you wrong. You're going to drown in those tears. Oh, now please, please, find out who killed that poor man, Chambers. Square yourself with the police. Make a clean breast of everything. Well, then you start giving me more answers. I'll help you in every way I can, Jeffrey. All right, where does Johnny Largo tie in with Charlie Pencor? Largo? Oh, it's an old-time feud. I went through the 1929 morgue piles.  He claimed Pencor held out on him. Nothing else? Nothing else. Why, you got a lead? What does Largo do now? He runs a joint in Gardena that fronts for a roulette wheel. Hey, hey, where you going? To try my luck. By the way, what happened to your face? It got stepped on. Somebody had big feet. Yeah, six of them. Bye. I knew I was coming into the home stretch. I made Largo's place about three o'clock that afternoon, but I was too late. Three squad cars were piled up in front, and the morgue wagon was there. I checked with the driver, looked inside, and saw that their customer was Largo. He was extremely dead. It was easy to see Pencor was making the rounds. First, chambers. Second, Largo. He figured to have one more stop, and I found it.  Inside, Meredith Gibbons and Townsend were kneeling at the altar. There were a lot of people watching. But the one I was interested in was the guy in the dark suit. He was standing in the back. Hello, Regan. I came to get you, Charlie. Yeah, I figured you would. They don't like murder in this state, no matter what it's for. The state doesn't know chambers was trying to buy that kid up there out of her life. So to keep your daughter from knowing who her old man was, you hired me. So you could get a line on chambers, follow him, kill him. He was just a name on her phone to me. You had to tag him for me. It was the only way to treat him. Somehow, he knew she was my kid. He had all the facts for blackmail. He waited 18 years to trap me. Largo was just a sideline.  You see, he was following me that night in Palos Verdes. So you treated one blackmail for another. Yeah. And no way out. We'd better go, Pencor. Yeah. Not just a minute, Reagan. I want to see you walk.  Reagan, it's a matter. Largo threw some that connected here. Put your arm in back of me. Hold me up, Reagan. At least, though she gets my hat, I don't want to ruin anything. Please. But, Donald, there's Mr. Reagan. He came to our wedding. How nice. Hello, Reagan. Hello. We're so happy. Did you ever find the man you were looking for? Yeah. I found him. I'm glad. We're so very happy today. We sure are. Mr. Reagan, do I know your friend? He looks familiar. No, no, you don't know me. Not at all. Good luck. Thank you very much. All right. Okay, Pencor. Thanks, Reagan. Oh, get me out of here quick. There were four of Largo's slugs in him. He died in the ambulance. Homicide knew about the old feud and not satisfied them. Why Pencor killed Johnny Largo in those two hoods. But they were bending their eyebrows trying to figure out why Pencor killed Chambers. I didn't figure it was up to me to explain it. The next morning when I came into the office, somebody was just leaving. The lion had one arm around her shoulder. Oh, no, no, just part of our service. Glad to be of help. Oh, Reagan. Oh, Mr. Reagan. Hello, Mrs. Gibbons. Oh, I just came by to thank you. To thank you for everything. I didn't know that people could be so understanding. I didn't know. Thank you. Thank you so much. Fine figure of a woman, Reagan. Fine figure of a woman. And what else does she want? She just came to thank us, that's all. Reagan, you don't think that after all that's happened... Yes, I do. Well, that certainly doesn't show a very good opinion of me. How'd she get the address? Well, I gave her a call. Give me. Now, you don't really think... I said give me.  A gesture of her appreciation. No. Reagan, that's dope. You got paid for this once? Yes, but this was a bonus for the rest of it. After all, international has expenses. This is a legitimate... Oh, well... Maybe this time you're right. Jeff Regan, investigator is written by E. Jack Newman, directed by Sterling Tracy and stars Frank Graham as Regan, with Frank Nelson as Anthony J. Lyon.

Okay, welcome everyone to level up how to add levels to your games by Tokyo EdTech. That is me So today we're going to be talking about different levels in a game and some of the topics are what is a level? It seems kind of silly or basic But a lot of people just don't know what they mean by a level and then we got to talk about what causes a level Change and this is this is going to be different in every game And then also, what do we need to keep in mind when there is a level change and before I get started I want to give a big shout out to my first member ever Kevin 16-bit member and speaking of leveling up 8-bit member Paul has now upgraded to a 16-bit membership. So thank you so much for that Paul appreciate it And if you'd like to join you can click the join button down below So what I want to do is I'm going to talk about what a level is people often ask me on my channel How do I add levels and I think the first question they have to ask answer for themselves is what do you mean by a level? So here are some different level types and this is not all different level types So here's some ideas So for example in a level you might increase the speed of your player increase the speed of the game I'm actually going to walk you through a little bit of code today to do that in my sneak tutorial You might increase your strength You might increase your magic for example or the power of your weapons You could add more enemies in your level you could add more obstacles for the player You could add goals bonuses and you know stronger weapons, which is something we see in a lot of RPGs Very typical thing is to change the map So we finished level one like like say Pac-Man or you go to the next screen or Donkey Kong classic games Or let's say level two you get an extra life or level three whatever that case may be So you really have to think first what is a level for that particular game now if it's say chess You might just increase the you know the power of the AI and give it more processing time for example So yeah, you got a first thing about what type of level you want to do Then you got to think about well what causes a level change So for example, oops, let me make that big for you And so for a level change for example, you might change a level when you reach a certain score When you've killed all the enemies on a particular level when you've killed the level boss or bosses Reach a certain point on a map, which is something again very common with RPGs You hit the door you hit the exit and it takes you to the next level which is a next screen or a next challenge Or you could have some type of countdown timer going on where you know it hits zero and You know your time's up for that level Or you reach a certain score before a levels of four timers up There's there's all kinds of different options here So let's take a look at what that might look like and some things you need to think about when you do Leveling so this is just gonna be a little bit of pseudocode and like I said later I'll show you how to do that with the snake game a little example So basically when you make a game where you make a program like this you tend to have like your initial setup So this is where you set like you know the score of the game is going to be zero You know your your player, you know, this is where you set up your player equals blah blah blah blah blah You just basically set up the game set up the screen and you have your first thing So when you start the game, you're gonna have level probably equals one Okay, and then you know you have some other code you have your functions You have your keyboard bindings or whatever depending on you know the type of game that you're doing and then you're gonna of course Have at some point. You're gonna have your main game loop And this is the part of the game or part of the program rather that runs the game And it runs it does everything all the collision checking all the keyboard all the keyboard checking depending on how your program set up And this is what controls how your game is working So typically this would be a while true loop or some kind of while loop that would keep your game going now You know, so then you've got checking your collisions, etc. Etc. So that gets us to You know levels So or deal with levels. So, you know when the game starts as you can see here We're in level one So what we'd have to do is put subtype of code in here to deal with that So as I said earlier, we could say reach a certain score. So let's go ahead and do that one. So If what we gotta do is put so if score Equals let's say a hundred for example, then we're gonna say the level plus Equals one we're gonna increase the level and then we have to think about well, what does that mean for this particular game? So, you know, again, we could increase the speed increase strength magic, etc. Etc. So let's do just do lives and this isn't real code. This is kind of pseudo code So if we want to add lives we'll say, you know, for example, we might say something like player lives plus equals one Okay, so every time so if you had a hundred you get lives now This code is not gonna work correctly It's not gonna do exactly what you think it's going to do because what's gonna happen is if your score is 100 You add a level you add players lives you go through the loop again your score is still a hundred So you're gonna get another life and another or another level another life another level another level another okay, so on and so forth so Based with the level system generally speaking if you're gonna do a scoring type thing you have a couple choices here You could either do something like this, you know score plus equals You know 100 you get a hundred point bonus for hitting level ones target score Now this would work in a case where there's it's not possible to lose points Because we have a game where you could lose points You wouldn't want to do that because you could go back to a hundred points and you're already on level one So probably the best way to do this would be to make two conditions. So if the score equals 100 and level equals one Okay, then you get lives something like that Then you do something like L if L if score equals 200 and level equals two Then you go up to level plus equals one that take you to level three And then maybe a level two instead of player lives maybe The game delay so which is slowing down the game You subtract a little bit from that minus equals zero point one whatever whatever that number might be There's all types of things as I said here different types of level types We could add let's say we could add something enemy So we could do something like or maybe at 200 level two we add our first boss And we say and you know the enemies list you know list of enemies dot append And then maybe he's got a boss class You know you're gonna get the boss of zero comma zero And let's say it's got a hundred hit points and you know, there's all kinds of things you can do here It's really gonna depend on the game, but this is like the general pattern at least for a score-based type of You know leveling up and then you know if it was say it was a timer Sorry, if it was say I'll kill all the enemies. Okay, so if You know, this might be something if length of enemies if you have a list of enemies Equals zero and level equals one then you do your level one stuff so level one you get lives Or if it's something like point on the map, so if you know player dot location You know equals Exit or whatever that might be actually use exit and said door and level equals one then boom you go to You say like you know player location equals You know level two Open opening. Yeah, whatever whatever that might be. How are you your game particularly works? Okay, so you need to think about what an actual level means in your game So let's see this code like done With an actual game, so I'm gonna go ahead and I was coding there. I didn't switch the screen. Sorry about that So yeah, here's the code. I was typing so if the player location equals door And then level equals one then player location equals level two opening and then you know player You know player level plus equals one something like that So you really just got to think about what's going to happen I tell my students all the time Coding is comes down to if this then that so if you're on level one and you reach the door Then you go to the level two opening and increase the level. It's basically that's all it is if this then that So if you remember that if remember nothing else in this tutorial, that's that that's a good thing Let's go ahead and take a look at the snake game and this is a tutorial I have and it'll be a link down below so I go ahead and run that and let's take a look at what that looks like So basically you got a snake And I got a score nice keeping track of the high scores etc. Etc. And I've really Pretty detailed tutorial for this one if you want to check that out later if you haven't done that already and yeah So basically got this game. I hit the wall score zero everything's reset so What I might want to do is Every time I hit Yeah, so let's say I hit a certain score. I'm gonna increase. I'm gonna take the delay and reduce it So my current delay is 0.1 So I could subtract something from that to make the game run a little faster Okay, so what I can do here is you know levels and Let's go ahead and put set up a level here So I'm gonna say level equals one so when I start the game I got level one and then down here. I'm gonna put my code for levels. So if level equals one and score equals Let's just keep it simple. Let's just do it for 10 Because we don't want to wait test it and this is something I tell my students all the time So like let's say normally we'd want to do this You know every 50 points for example and then my students will do this and then they'll test it And then they have to eat five apples every time and then they have to eat 10 apples and 20 to test something So it's much easier if you just set it to something simple and then test it So we'll say level plus equals one and delay minus equals zero point So zero point one so eight zero point zero one. So that's ten percent essentially and then I'm gonna go ahead and copy this and just do this for the first three levels and Two three and so it's 20 and 30 Okay, so let's see if that works. Hopefully it'll be noticeable. I don't know if it will or not So here we go. Oh Wow, you can definitely see it sped up there Okay, so yeah, that's pretty effective. So we got some levels there now You might want to print the levels on the screen So we got score high score up here and I'm gonna make the font a little smaller so I can squeeze in a level here and So level Doop and Level let's go ahead and run that see what happens. Okay, and I didn't do it initially, but Okay, well, I don't see score level. Where is level at? That is annoying update score display Okay, I do this down here, too So I'm gonna go ahead and just copy this out Can't copy So we're gonna have a level we might want to display that for our players And well, I got a bunch of different places. That's not very efficient and Yeah, I'm up to here That one's zero. I'm gonna go ahead and put level because we're always gonna start at level one There's an extra space there. I should do that with all of them And level okay, let's try that again. Okay, so there we go and oops Well, it's still a little too big. Let's go ahead and Fix that. Oh, I didn't change the the font size and the other ones did I This is this is this is why you should not do what I just did Okay, there's 16 And just this is why you should have everything in like one any time you've repeated code you should put it into a function Okay, there we go Okay You know the level didn't go up. There is level two level three So you can see how we set different levels For this particular game. All right, so I'm gonna go down to here and now that it's working What I could do is then I could say, okay, I want this to happen at 50 points 100 points and then see 150 points and so on and so forth The other thing I could do is instead of subtracting 0.01. I could do the I could do this This is a little bit of math thing times equals 0.9 So that'll subtract 10 percent from the current delay And then once the delay gets smaller the change will be a little bit smaller as well Because it's so it's 0.1 times 0.9 will be whatever that is and then whatever that is times 0.9 So your delay is going down by 10 percent each time, but the 10 percent is a little bit smaller Okay, so let's go ahead and do our final test And We're gonna get to 50 so we're still on level one and here we go We should get the level two and it should speed up a little bit. Okay, you kind of notice that there. Oh I missed that miss the turn Okay, now you see something here. See the level is now set to two Okay, so something went wrong. So I need to reset the level I forgot to do that so This is this is why testing is really important level equals one is when the game restarts Now I've changed something and I have to now Test it again. It looks so far so good. You know, I have some code somewhere to align that but I didn't put on this version Oh, that's gonna be a tough one. Okay. I don't know if you noticed the speed picked up there when I hit 50 I'm on level two now Okay, I did not make the turn and Still on level two, why is that that's annoying Level equals one Okay So I've got a couple different places. I think where I reset the game. That's probably why yeah Reset the level again, here we go and test it equals one And let's go ahead and take a look at that and hopefully this will do a trick And I should have done this when I had everything set to 10 20 30 instead of 50 100 150 And here goes the speed. Okay. Yeah, you can see the speed change there for sure Yeah, so that is that that is an example of how to do leveling and now again There's some other things you can do with the modulus, but that's a bit more advanced You know, I gotta think that one through so you can see here. We need to check in this case We're using the score as our trigger for a level change We've chosen a particular score for level one to go to level two and then we in this case What we're doing what a level means is that we are delaying Or we are reducing the delay time which speeds up the game. So it makes a little bit more challenging So we got different levels now. This could be you know, 100 doesn't matter You choose whatever you want, but if you're gonna do score You got to make sure that your score is gonna get there If you have like a if it's possible that 51 is a score and it never actually gets to 50 Then you really got to be careful for that for that to work. Okay, so Thinking about levels going back to kind of what we started on You know, there's different types of levels You know different types of things that you can do to make a level and that's gonna really depend on your game And then you've got different types of triggers for level changes So in the example, we just did was reaching a certain score But you need to keep track of two things your score and the current level So you know how things should be changed and that's as the programmer you get to make that decision So yeah, so that's that so thanks for watching and hope you learned something from it If you haven't subscribed subscribe if you can become a member it's even better and comment below Let me know what you think take care. Bye. Bye


Hi, my name is Carl Griffiths and I'm an account manager at the UK Super Office team. I'm here today to talk about one of my favourite features within the Super Office CRM solution. The feature I'm going to be referring to on today's video is the metered services. To see your metered services, you will firstly need administrative access to Super Office. If you do have the access, you can then navigate to settings and maintenance in the top right hand corner. Once you have come into your admin, you will then see your licences here and then in the blue box metered services. Now we're in the right location, I just wanted to briefly explain metered services. I thought I would start by showing you the pay-per-use chart below. This information you can access from our community site in the Trust Centre. And as you can see, dependent on the amount of Super Office user licences you have as a business, this will then determine, as an example, what storage and mailings you have as a package. In the occasion you may exceed any of the limits within your plan, you will be then charged for the additional usage as listed here. This is why it is very important for you to know where to find the metered services in Super Office. If I was to go back to settings and maintenance now and click the blue button here, this is what will happen. It will open up a separate tab for operation centre. And just as an example, you can see there are a few tabs of the different metered services. We have storage, mailings, chat sessions, customer centre logins and form submissions. And for today, as an example, I will use storage. And if I go down here, it will show you per month how much storage you have used and also clearly indicates your included storage consumption line. If, for example, in April, this blue bar exceeded that line, it would mean you would be subjected to the charge as shown on the chart before. I hope you enjoyed this very short video on how you can easily access and see your metered services and always have the awareness and the ability to manage your Super Office usage. Thank you for watching my favourite feature of Super Office. Have a great day.


I guarantee there's not going to be a study. It's going to come out. That's going to make me go, oh my God, everything I thought to be true, it's not going to happen. We'll see little things here and there. And usually what happens, and this is not being arrogant. Again, this is just because of our experience. Usually what happens is studies come out and confirm kind of what we've been communicating that we didn't have studies to support. I'll give you guys an example. A study just came out. And actually, Lane, good friend of mine, Lane Norton, a lot of you may know who he is, is actually doing a deep dive into the study. So a study comes out that shows that artificial sweeteners may have an effect or impair glucose metabolism in the body through affecting the microbiome of the gut or the body. In other words, something you've been saying on the podcast for a very long time. And what I've been saying is this. Again, big rocks. If taking artificial sweeteners is the only way you can cut your calories down, so now you're at a deficit, the benefits probably greater than the potential detriment. Although that's never been my strategy. I've never seen it be successful with anybody except for the competitors. Only people I've ever seen it successful with. Yeah, who track every single whatever and you don't want to live that way, right? But what have we always said? There is an effect, even if the effect is just to perceive. It's not innocuous. Yes, even if the effect is just perceived sweetness. That's an effect on the body. And that means that there's going to be other effects that we don't know about, even if it's just behavioral. Anyway, this study comes out that shows there may be an effect on insulin sensitivity or glucose metabolism. And it's gonna kind of support what we've been saying, which is it's not innocuous. There's, if there wasn't an effect, nobody would use artificial sweeteners. And people say, what do you mean, what effect? Well, you taste it, you perceive it. That's an effect. Does that affect your behaviors? Of course it does. Otherwise you wouldn't take it in the first place. Nonetheless, I'm not gonna dive deep into it because Lane's super honest, got tons of integrity and what he does very well better than anybody is he takes a study and I know what he's doing right now is he's literally writing probably a 20 page essay on the whole thing. Line for line. Yeah, so when he gets that out, I'm sure he'll talk about it and then I'll get on the phone with him and he'll break it down for me. And he's a scientist, so. Did you guys talk much about it already? Or was it just... Oh yeah, so anytime I see a study in a space that I know he's very, very versed in, I'll send it to him and he's usually, he's really good, he's really honest. He'll say, oh, this is actually a good study or he'll say he'll break it down.  For example, that study that had come out that showed that there was like a 90% conflict of interest with the governing body that determines our dietary guidelines.  And he says, but I don't know how else. No one else is gonna fund it. Yeah, he goes, because he got funded. Remember, he studied leucine. That was his big thesis when he was in college. And he said, I wasn't gonna go to the freaking wheat industry to get funding for leucine. I had to go to the beef industry and the dairy industry. So people may say, oh, you're influenced by beef and dairy. But he's like, where else am I gonna get the money? That's where I got the money, yeah. Yeah, so he's very honest about that kind of stuff. So I'll let everybody know what he says about that particular. But again, I stand by what I said. At the very least, there's behavioral impacts from artificial sweeteners, which is why studies show unless they're controlling every damn calorie, average person, if they just switch out their artificial sweeteners, their normal sweeteners for artificial sweeteners, they don't lose weight because their behaviors change to make up the calories. This is what ends up happening. It's crazy though that how much we've been talking about that for so long now that we can't get just a little bit of trust on that. Like just because there's not a study for it, when you collectively think of how many total people. Yeah, why aren't people losing weight? Artificial sweeteners have been around for a long time. I mean, each one of us individually have trained a lot of people and combined it's like, and the only group that I saw value with the diet sodas and the artificial sweeteners is the competitors. Because they track everything. Yeah, because everything is being tracked and otherwise. You can't measure everything. Yeah, otherwise what ends up happening, you end up eating more calories somewhere else. And I even catch this as my own behavior and I have an ex-competitor and I know that. It's that, and I remember what I was talking about, I talked about it on the show. I remember you shared it. There's this kind of interesting phenomenon that happens that for myself, when I have a soda, a regular soda, that I know has 180 or 220 calories in it, I know that I'm getting calories, therefore I'm less likely to have a second or a third with that because I'm already like going, oh, okay, I've already had, I've had that. That was one treat for me.  Next thing you know, it goes from one to two to three to four, like you're drinking so many of them. And then what I notice is it spikes my appetite in other things, then I want other things to eat. And so then I end up eating those calories. The calories, the 180 calories I saved on the soda, I end up consuming in other foods, you know, or in my meals.


This guy's turning inbound, bath one's turning inbound. Yeah, I got the flares. 252 WCO, track after biac turning inbound at this time.


Next question is from official JPJ 9. What is the best way to fix muscle imbalances? All right, so first let's define a muscle imbalance because there's a couple different ways we can look at this. One is from the aesthetic standpoint where you look at a physique or you look at yourself and you say, okay, I like the way that this part of my body is developed but it doesn't seem to match this other part of my body. So I want to bring that weak body part up and then there's the way personal trainers look at muscle imbalances which is maybe your right side is not as strong and stable as your left side or your pulling strength is not at the right ratio to your pushing strength or your quads are overpowering your hamstrings when we do certain exercises. So those are the ways that they tend to be defined. Now, one of the easiest ways, in my opinion, aside from really doing an assessment and individually, I mean, if you really want to fix a muscle imbalance, you get a program like Maps Prime, you take the compass test, and then you do it for your individual body. But if kind of general, not nearly as effective but still will give you some benefit, unilateral work tends to do a pretty damn good job where you work one arm at a time, one leg at a time, use dumbbells, start with the weak side and then copy that with the strong side and wait for things to catch up. I think that's the best broad stroke answer for that. I think finding your way back to optimal posture in general will cover a lot of that and you'll find areas of your body where you're out of balance and where you're not starting at the right point and to be able to find your way towards that is everything. It's crucial to do that and then also assess, do I actually have range of motion? Do I have function in my joints like I properly should?  This one's weak and, you know, we could go from a muscle perspective after that, but I like to just get people to come back to proper posture and balance and function and then really work in the strength after that.


Is he avoiding deep feelings for you? Well, these six signs might give you a clue that he's not able to get really in touch with what's going on inside your heart, let alone his own heart. Now, really quickly, building trust is paramount in a relationship. Let me repeat that. It's paramount to maybe, let me reframe that to a successful relationship. And what better way to build trust than to meet your partner's needs. That's right, to meet your partner's needs. See, really, isn't this what this is all about? Being in relationship is each person has needs that need to be met. And when we actually get attuned to each other, to our partners, and we have a desire to meet those needs, we start to build the, we start to put the blocks together, the building blocks together to building that trust, which actually demonstrates deep feelings for someone. Now, really quickly, I wanna share something with you. I watched a contemporary of mine, short little 60-second video talking about how men want to be your hero, how they want to be your hero in relationship. Men genuinely want to please women, okay? And he gives the example in the early stage of dating that where you might have a desire for more communication. And you might say something like this, it would feel so great if you could text me every morning and every evening, excuse me, I would feel so happy. I would feel so, it would feel so great. I would feel so happy if you do this. And because men are the heroes and they want to please you, they are naturally going to do this. So I wanna tell you something that happened to me. Some years ago, I was communicating with a woman online and I think we only had one or two text exchanges. And she did this exact same verbiage to me, the exact same verbiage. As you know what I thought? Now mind you, I'm in this business so maybe I took it a little bit different than most, but I'm like, wow, she's really demanding. I don't know her. We have no trust built between us. In other words, she was literally making demands on me and I didn't know her that well and there was no trust built in this relationship. See, we can't have deep feelings for someone until we actually build trust. And you see today's dating, we have this false sense of trust built when there is incessant communication via text messaging. There is love bombing going on, there's this constant communication early on that creates what's known as artificial intimacy. And because of chemistry, many people believe they have trust with a person when there is strong chemistry with another human being. See, that's not how trust is built. Trust isn't built through chemistry. Certainly we need chemistry to bond with another. We need chemistry to feel attraction for one another. We need chemistry to be the glue that when there are things not going so right in the relationship, it's the chemistry that keeps us together. But quite frankly, what truly keeps relationships successful is that building of trust. And trust, folks, trust isn't just about fidelity. Trust is about, do I have it? It's about looking out for my partner's best needs. That's what trust is. Without compromising your own needs, let me be clear. See ladies, you have a propensity to over give to a man so you're meeting his needs, oftentimes at the expense or the sacrifice of your own needs. And I'm not here to espouse that anyone should do that. You should want, two people should want to care about each other's needs to care about the best interests for another human being. Why do you think ghosting happens? People say, I don't want to hurt you. Isn't that they're an irony? I don't want to hurt you. And yet ghosting is probably the cruelest thing we can do to a person or disengage communication with a person. But I just didn't want to hurt you. What they really mean is I didn't want to pretend, I didn't want to have you believe that there was something more in this relationship than there really is. So I'm just going to cut off communication so you don't feel hurt in the future when this doesn't work out. That's what ghosting really is about. And yet that act alone causes mistrust. It causes pain to another human being. And we could say, well, I'm doing it for their best interest. No, if you really are going to do something for someone else's best interest, you'll have a conversation with them and talk about your feelings. Now, here's where it gets radically tough. This is where it gets so radically tough. Stick with me for the next minute on this one. Have any of you watched the show Love is Blind? It's on Netflix, the latest season came out. And there's Jimmy and Chelsea. He's got that Southern accent. She's the one who claims she looked like Megan Fox. She doesn't. And I was watching the two of them try to share their emotions and their feelings for one another, not about one another, but what challenges they were feeling inside of them. And you know what fascinated me?  Maybe early 30s. They absolutely struggled to articulate their emotions in a concise way. Let me repeat that. They struggled to articulate their emotions in the right way. In fact, you could see them trying to think of what they wanna say because they're trying to formulate what were they actually feeling? See, here's the challenge we're faced with, is feelings aren't facts. I didn't make this up. Someone write this down in the chat box. Feelings aren't facts. They're not something tangible. Feelings are like a roller coaster. They're like this. They're all over the map. One minute you're happy, one minute you're sad, one minute you're feeling lonely, one minute you're feeling depressed, one minute you're feeling joyful, one minute you're feeling excited, one minute you're feeling sensational, one minute you're million, I keep saying million, one minute you're feeling in despair. Emotions are all over the map. Now, I've observed a difference between men and women. Now, I know the ladies are not gonna be happy with them about to say, but I've observed the difference between men and women. This is not a statement of fact. It's just a mere observation. Women tend to be more in touch with their feelings. In other words, they allow their feelings to percolate. They allow their feelings to percolate, whereas men oftentimes stuff their feelings. I think we can both agree to this. The challenge is women have a propensity to vomit those emotions and feelings. They've vomited out. It comes out in such an incoherent fashion that we men are absolutely confused in that moment. And men, in the contrast, they dry-heave their vomiting. In other words, like, have you ever tried to vomit but you had no food in your stomach? There's nothing to come out. That's kind of the difference between men and women. Women might have the propensity to vomit all their feelings in an incoherent fashion, and men dry-heave their emotions and feelings because they don't even know how to get in touch with them. That's some of the differences I've noticed between men and women. So we're gonna talk about is he avoiding his feelings? These six signs might give you a clue. And this really centers around building trust. And I wanna be candid with everyone. I recently watched a video from the Gottmans, the Gottmans. If you're not familiar with the Gottman Institute or the two books I recommend frequently from the Gottmans. One of the books is Seven Principles for Making Marriages Work. You could cross out marriage and put relationships and then eight dates by doctors John and Julie Gottman. Okay? So today's lesson is actually gonna come from a video I watched of theirs talking about trust is built in the tiny moments. See, isn't that what this is all about? Are feelings being acknowledged for one another? But more importantly, the capacity to build trust with one another. The capacity build trust. So Dr. Gottman, John Gottman shares the story. He's about to read a book to go to bed. He's about to read a book. He's really excited. He's been wanting to read this book for a while. And he's about ready to go to bed, like read in bed. And his wife was maybe brushing her teeth or something. And he noticed something was wrong with her. He just could sense something is wrong. Okay? Now the difference between the average person who would just rather focus on reading their book because that's what their plan was. He talks about something really that builds trust in the relationship and it really acknowledges their partner's feelings. And that is called being attuned, attune. A-T-T-U-N-E, attune. A-T-T-U-N-E, attune. So within attune, the first, the A stands for awareness of a need, awareness of a need.  He was attuned to her. He was attuned to her. He could read the room. He could read the room. See a man who doesn't have deep feelings for you, he doesn't read the room. He doesn't know when you're, I mean, he might, and by the way, or he reads the room and he, well, we're gonna talk about this is really kind of leans into some more of the letters here. But first and foremost, he doesn't know how to read the room. He doesn't know how to read your emotions, your feelings. He's not attuned to them, okay? Hey, it was just 11-11 on the clock there. Okay, the T, the first T stands turning towards, turning towards, turning towards. When you show a desire to connect with your partner, in other words, he recognized something was up with his wife and he turned towards her for connection. See a person who doesn't have deep feelings for you, they're gonna turn the other way. They're going to avoid, they're going to run away from your feelings. And it's a demonstration that he's not, doesn't, if he's not in, he doesn't have the capacity to build trust or he doesn't have the desire to go any deeper. And as I said earlier in this broadcast, isn't that the whole point of relationship? Look, we are beyond that point of dependency. Now, for some people, I recognize that they're in dependent, in a dependent type of relationship, primarily financially. And I'm gonna talk about this again as well. But when you're not in that type of arrangement, the whole point of relationship is about meeting each other's needs. That's what it's all about. Did you hear my voice just kind of crackle and go higher? That's what it's all about in my book. Is that the same for you? Do you feel that's the case? If it is, hit that like button. Please share this video. Please subscribe to my channel. And if you wanna connect with me directly, you see this link right here to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. And there's links below as well to connect with me. Okay, he turns towards you. A man who doesn't that is avoiding deep feelings for you, turns the other way, he turns the other way. The next T of a tune is tolerance, tolerance. Now, I don't love this word, but I recognize why this was used in this example. And that is tolerance is about holding space because it's uncomfortable sometimes to hold space for someone. I mean, especially, listen, we guys, we struggle with a woman's emotions. It's just, we do. By the way, ladies, you struggle sometimes when men are emoting too. This is challenging depending on how deeply connected you are to another person. So if he's holding space, if he's holding space, while you're sharing what's coming up for you, like in the case of this story with Dr. Gottman, his wife had something to share. So he was aware of it. He turned towards her. He held space while she was sharing. See, he didn't run away. Run away is avoiding your deep feelings and that is a sign that he's probably just not that enough into you or there hasn't been enough trust built. Now the U stands for understanding. Okay, again, if you are in a dependent type of relationship where the man is the provider protector and the woman is nurture, he doesn't have to understand anything about you. His job, he's got his role, you have your role. There's no need to have understanding. But if you're in an interdependent type of relationship, the one that I encourage for most people. And by the way, someone write this in the chat box, interdependent relationship, interdependent relationship. Google this right after this video so you can look up what that means so you can get a better understanding. But it's basically, is it the inverse of dependency? I think it's having mutual dependency upon the success of the relationship. That's my interpretation of it. But understanding, and if he's clueless, if he's clueless about your feelings, about his own feelings, it's gonna be very problematic for him to actually care. And again, when he's feeling scared, when he's feeling unable to meet your need, he's going to run the other direction. Now the N stands for non-defensive response, non-defensive response. If you haven't read the book, oh, by the way, all the books I recommend are listed below. If you haven't read the book, Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. Now, it should have been titled, Compassionate Communication. Why is it non-violent? Or what's the violence? The violence is a defensive posture when we get defensive with another person in our communication when we get defensive. So non-defensive means compassionate listening. Compassionate listening at this point. And then within that compassionate listening is the E, which stands for empathy, empathy. You know, a lot of people just don't know how to be empathetic. If you've looked at my chart for emotional maturity and relationship skills, by the way, this is not a fact that's merely an opinion. I believe that this is emotional maturity and relationship skills. I believe 20% of the population has clinical issues, okay? It's just my perception. And while I say 20% of the population is emotionally healthy, I'm being rather generous. Most everybody is dysfunctional, dysfunctional. And by the way, I put myself in the dysfunctional category. I think I'm right here at the cusp, okay? But, and I'm owning it, okay? Dysfunctional means that as far as relationship skills and emotional maturity, our capacity to be 100% empathetic to another human being, to be 100% non-defensive with another human being. I've got work to do at this capacity. I'm not perfect at this. Sometimes I get defensive. The person that triggers me the most is my son, poor guy. Where's a picture of Colin? There's him right there with his son, or with my other son, Connor, who passed away. Why is it with my children? I've usually got the most defensive with. I think it's because as a parent, we want our child as a reflection of us. So when we're in relationship with someone, they're also reflection of us. So it's very common to get defensive and in that same venue to lack empathy. And if you're in a part with a man who just doesn't have the capacity for true empathy, empathy isn't just I can feel your feelings. Empathy to me is I genuinely care about your feelings. More importantly, I care about my own feelings too. In other words, I'm empathetic towards myself and towards you. And so bringing this back full circle attune, A-T-T-U-N-E. Awareness, if he's not aware of your, if he's not aware when something's off, it's a sign he doesn't have deep feelings for you. Number two, turning towards. If he turns away from you, that's a sign he doesn't have deep feelings for you. Tolerance, if he can't hold space for you when you're sharing something really critically important to you, that could be problematic. Understanding, if he's just clueless about feelings, he's gonna need to be taken to a workshop, a training, therapy. Folks, you're gonna have to do a lot of work together. If you wanna make this relationship work, understanding non-defensive response, the N, the less, look at, it's natural to get defensive, okay? It's natural to get defensive. But a person who does it less frequently is showing deep feelings for you. And lastly is empathy. As I said before, empathy isn't just I can feel your feelings. Empathy is I genuinely care about your feelings. In other words, I genuinely want to build trust with you.  He's a tune. And when you're a tune to your partner, that demonstrates deep feelings. And when you're not a tune, there could be a vast, there could be a majority of reasons why that hasn't happened. And don't forget, it's not gonna happen on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth, or it's not gonna happen even when you're physically intimate with someone. Genuine care takes, it requires building the deep roots of trust through emotional connection, financial agreement, social activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, you know, and intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy. These are the building blocks in both the small and big moments because it's not just about actions, matching words to build trust and it's not just about fidelity. It's, do I have my best, my partner's best needs, best interest at hand? And that demonstrates real trust. Is this sinking in? Is this resonating with you? Please let me know if it is.

I wanna share something with you while I'm waiting for questions, okay? And again, if you have a question, write the word question and post the question thereafter or purchase a Super Sticker.  And we just call it for what it is. It's hard. The minute you, especially when we're using our devices, the minute you connect with another human being, the minute you connect with another human being, you're being potentially vulnerable. The minute you connect, you're being vulnerable. It's like walking. I was watching the Pirates of the Caribbean series the other night and it reminded me of walking the plank and then they pull the plank out from underneath you and you fall into the water with the sharks swimming.  It's not like person to person where you say hi to someone, you almost naturally say hello back. So right off the bat, we could be, I don't want to use the word rejected, but not acknowledged. That's first and foremost. Or you start to communicate with someone and then their communication is flaky. Okay, that can be problematic. Or then you're communicating with someone and you start to get to like them and all of a sudden they say something that's like a gigantic deal breaker for you. Oh my God, I've had that happen where I've had a conversation with a woman and in the midst of the conversation, she drops a landmine of a deal breaker for me. Now, everybody's deal breaker is different, and it could have been something benign on her part, but it was gigantic to me and that might have happened to you as well. So there's a real vulnerability in the early stages of dating. And it's no wonder we're disillusioned, we're frustrated or worse. We give up. I mean, that's how a lot of people in midlife feel like you just don't want to make the effort anymore. I get it. It's like the hunger games out there. By the way, I have a quote I'm gonna be posting soon, but let me read this to you. Bear with me one second, okay? Let me find this quote. It's a Jonathan Asley quote, okay? Quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. Dating today is like the hunger games. It's a challenging, brutal, and a fight to the death, the death of our dreams and our hopes. Preparing oneself through personal development, self-help, and spiritual work can put the odds forever in your favor by working on yourself.  I do my best to practice much of what I preach, and yet I still can crucify myself and still beat myself up. I can still recognize that there is residue from my past relationships, whether it's the most recent relationship that ended, the relationship before that, or my marriage, there's residue because, you know, genuinely feeling loved by another human being and also having the capacity to genuinely love another human being, I think is rare. It saddens me to say this out loud. I think two people that genuinely love each other and have built deep trust with one another is rather rare these days. So I think putting the, to put the odds in your favor, doing the personal development, self-help, and spiritual work puts the odds forever in your favor. Whether you meet someone or not, I invite you all to do the personal development work. Look at, on the end of my book, I give you all my recommended readings, studies, teachers, and workshops, okay? So I invite you to look into that. All right, that was just my two cents for a moment. Monica has a question. When do we know when triggers are unhealthy versus healthy? When do we know triggers? When I did the Hoffman process, if you're not familiar with the Hoffman process, I did the actual live eight day workshop, the Hoffman process, deep dive into healing childhood wounds and adult traumas. My coach, we each were assigned a coach. She said, when you're triggered, that was a good thing. Basically means it's something you have to work on. Now, I don't know if we need to characterize them as healthy or unhealthy. How about, if there's a neutral word, let's just call it a trigger. I don't know if we need to identify if it's healthy or unhealthy. I think it's an opportunity to look inside so the higher degree of the trigger, whether it's a judgment for someone else or a judgment towards yourself, I think they're both equally, I'm gonna say that beating ourselves up or judging another human being, when we judge someone negatively or inferior to us, I don't think that's healthy. I just don't. I think good discernment is okay. When we discern that something isn't right for us, then we can set up a boundary. I'm totally in favor of that. So we might get triggered, but that trigger might require us to put a boundary. That's okay because a boundary is simply what's okay and what's not okay for you. But sometimes a trigger causes us to retreat and then we sabotage a relationship. Then I did a video with Sabrina Rising on sabotaging relationships and I don't think that's healthy. I think the most important thing to recognize, Monica, is how much of a charge are you getting at it? Are you beating someone else up emotionally speaking or beating yourself up? I think the higher the charge, and charge, I mean the electricity, the more the voltage that is, ah! Probably the more unhealthy it is. That's just my two cents on that. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it. By the way, Jody just gave us a $5 super stickers.  I understand how you feel. I don't like the word hate. I certainly dislike it and I feel frustrated with it. That's a strong word, but I understand how you feel. And Sherry, thank you for the $10 super sticker. That means our goal tonight is for another $35 for that $50. Leaf's in the house and she says, best cap and jack line in Pirates of the Caribbean and at Worlds End, stop. Don't nobody move. I'm dropping my brain. Actually, of all the pirates, that is my favorite at Worlds End for some reason. I just love that particular one the most, interestingly enough. Okay, let's see what other questions. Julie's in the house. Oh, by the way, if also, if anyone wants to join the hot seat, I just put the link right here in the chat box. You could simply get live with me right now and we can talk whatever you want to talk about. So Julie's in the house. If he doesn't hug, is he avoiding feelings? You know, some people are rather sensitive to touch and they probably most likely have some sort of trauma in childhood or adulthood where hugging is maybe was taboo growing up. Maybe there was shame associated with it. I think if someone doesn't hug, it could mean that they're avoiding feelings. I'm a gigantic hugger.  I gave him a hug, kiss on the cheek and I said, I love you and that's my last memory was a hug. I did talk to him on the phone the following day before and he passed away the day after that. But I always end my videos. Can I reach into the camera and give you a big gigantic hug? I think hugs are a great source of love. And so I don't know why someone would avoid hugging. I just know that to me hugs are gigantically important. And I'm just expressing this from my vantage point of what happened in my life. I will not allow my son, my son who's still living to leave without us two hugging each other. It's just a prerequisite I have. Anyway, thank you so much. Jay Breezy says, yes, trigger is information for us to notice, look at and see why and what wounding it is connected to. Exactly, well said. Mary Ann says, something that makes us aware of yourself, exactly. Aurora's in the house. Question. Our relationship in person is great, but the texting in between is not. Despite my best efforts, I don't know how to fix this, any ideas. Okay, a couple of things. How often do you physically see each other? If you've seen each other on average two, three or four days, nights or weeks, I mean, in other words, during a week, two, three or four, then I think, you know, good morning text and evening text is about all that's necessary.  Tim, listen, it would mean the world to me if we communicate a little bit more via text messaging. I, you know, when we're apart, I will be candid with you. Sometimes I feel a little bit of anxiety when we're apart and it would just be nice to know that I'm on your mind because we don't live in the same, you know, next door to each other. We live in the same tribe like people used to or we don't go to school together. So we see each other regularly. So it would mean a lot to me if we could connect a little bit more frequently. Is that, is that something you can do? You can make a request. Now, here's the challenge.  Okay, Aurora? So let me know how often the two of you physically see each other and I'll try to comment again. Okay? Monica says, I'm beating myself up overthinking. Oh my God, folks. I am the quintessential overthinker.  I try to figure out the moves before I ever enter into a dynamic. And believe me, I can overthink, I can relate to that. Sherry says to everyone, Jonathan is saving lives. Oh, I'm happy to hear that. That brings me joy. Oh, Mariana, Marina says, Jonathan is inspirational. Thank you so much. Jay Breezy just gave us a $5 super sticker. Thank you so much. Okay. Jane says, I'm a skin hungry, not touched by anyone for almost about 10 years. Scary. May need to get to a massage company. Wow. Can you receive the hug I'm giving you virtually? Can you receive that?  And Sherry says, a massage is great. I agree. All right. Sherry says, I analyze like a detective. Oh my God, I can relate to that. I am literally, I think part of what, look it, here's a link to schedule a discovery call with me. Part of my coaching is like being Colombo, being a detective.  Do you know what an FBI profiler is? Well, I'm a profiler in the dating realm. I can spot serial daters, serial monogamous, nice guys, bad boys and the right guy for you. So I believe the skill is paying attention to people's tells, T-E-L-L, tell. Just like in poker, reading people. In fact, this is about attunement. And I think the reason why detectives are good at getting confessions out of someone is they know how to read people. We aren't trained at this, folks. We are not trained at emotions. As I said in the beginning of this broadcast, you might have emotions bottle up in your stomach and you've vomited out and the emotions not there. And so they're dry heaving because we're not attuned to our emotions and then reading someone else's emotions. So anyway, Sherry says exactly Colombo, reading people, I do this, good to hear. That is very cool to be able to read people. You know, I sometimes make mistakes too. I'll be candid with you. Okay, MJW says, why would a guy use the excuse? I'm set in my ways to excuse his frequent sarcastic remarks which at times has made me cry. He's 75 and I'm 72. Listen, the average life expectancy is 79. Someone is 75, they are set in their ways. I'm sure you're set in your own ways. You might accommodate somebody else but many people are just by the time people hit 50, they become more grooved in their ways. By the time someone is 60, they're more grooved. By the time someone is 70 more grooved. By the time they're 75, they're more grooved. And he's expressing exactly how he feels. This is who he is. His frequent sarcastic remarks. Now, why does he have sarcastic remarks? Most likely as a childhood wound and adult trauma and people use humor to mask deep pain. That's the why. Is he likely to go fix himself? Probably not. Let's see, I mean, has he been doing therapy? Probably not. Does he have true confidence in his life? Probably not. So you either have to accept him the way he is or move on. I'm sorry, that's just the blunt answer here.   You know, for those who seek a life partner, the odds aren't good. I just try to put the odds forever in your favor. That's what my coaching is about. I cannot guarantee. By the way, I listened to someone who said I have an 83% success rate.  Nobody has that kind of success rate. I'm hard pressed to believe that to be the case.   You can't guarantee anyone anything. What I'm encouraging everyone to do is to do personal development, self-help and spiritual work. So because the most important relationship you're ever gonna have is the relationship with yourself. That's what matters most. And those who do the work put the odds in their favor of attracting a better relationship in their life. That's just my two cents. Anyway, thank you for listening to my rhetoric. I am grooved and I am groovy. There you go. Jane says, when I get some extra mula, you'd be betting getting it. The hug means a lot. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Julie says, I love the animation. Thank you. Mary Ann says, no sugarcoating.  By the way, I would love someone to join the hot seat tonight. It would be so much fun to chat with somebody, but we also need questions. So I never need to be with someone that makes you cry. Exactly, come on. I need some questions. How do I get my crush to like me back? Oops, that's this one. You know, whenever I see these questions, I think of unrequited love. Okay, in other words, and what is a crush? It just merely means, well, let me kind of explain this. It means you're most likely attracted to some, you're attracted to either something about someone or you're attracted physically to someone. That's all this is. It's really, in many cases, it's just limerence, extreme infatuation, especially if you have no real connection with them. And so you like them, but how can you like someone? Let's just assume for a moment, you don't really know them that well. Like people, like I have women who say they have a crush on me, but you don't know me. You've never spent time with me. You've never connected with me. So I can understand why you might like aspects of who I am. I really appreciate that, okay? I really appreciate that. And that's certainly a building block. So what you can do is simply say, I like you.   And that doesn't require them to say anything in kind. They can just simply say thank you, okay? So now if you really wanna explore something with someone, then you gotta take the risk and say, hey, can I take you out for coffee? They could say no. I had a woman do that recently. She ran into me at a speaking event I had. She was interested in me and I wasn't interested in her. I had to say no. I don't have, that's my boundary, okay? I don't even have to share the reasons why. Sometimes it's just an energetic disconnect.  So make the effort, ask them out for coffee. If they say no, then it's time to move on.   Men too, by the way. That's just, that's radical unhealthy behavior for oneself. Swimming in fantasy lane. Anyway, that's just my two cents on that. And just how Lighthouse said, attracted to the idea or fantasy, exactly. Okay.  Yeah, we all have different coping mechanism. And the problem is he probably isn't attuned to his own feelings. One thing I didn't say in the earlier part of the broadcast, it's one thing to be attuned to your partner's feeling, but I didn't say the importance of being attuned to your own feelings.  Let me reframe that. Our unhealthy ego. I think there's good parts of ego too, but our unhealthy ego, because ego gets me, listen, I shoot these videos because I have a little bit of an ego, but it gets me to shoot these videos. I think it's the unhealthy ego that it's a self-protection mechanism because of fear of actually tapping into those feelings. So thank you for that question. Kimberly is in the house. I get it. I lost my youngest son. Then the father of my children died unexpectedly last year.  Life certainly isn't what I thought. Sending you a hug too bad. I'm not in SoCal anymore. Again, Kimberly giving you a big, gigantic Jonathan Bear hug. Oh my gosh. We belong to a really shitty club. Light and blue says, LOL, we connect with you, Jonathan, in our minds. Thank you so much. Jody's in the house. My text friend is making me feel uneasy a bit. We have texted for maybe a month now, never met in person and he's talking about traveling together already and I'm sabotaging. Am I sabotaging? No, it's just you guys haven't built real trust. Trust is about feeling safe with another person. You're having probably a lot of text communication. So it's artificial intimacy.  Oh my God, Jonathan just said the F word. That's profanity.  I'm just laughing at sometimes the comments I get. He wants to travel with you because he wants to get in your pants. Are you sabotaging? You feel uneasy? Yeah, because you haven't met him. You haven't done the little small things that are usually necessary for building trust with someone.   That's a very common experience. I guess the question is, maybe instead of traveling together, maybe have him fly out to meet you, stay at a hotel, you go out to dinner one night. The next night you go out to dinner. You don't have sex with one another and see if there's a real connection. Oh, the other thing is, why not do FaceTime or Zoom calls as well? But Jonathan, it's just a text relationship. All we do is text, text, text, text, text, text, text, text. How do you even know the guy is real if you haven't done a FaceTime? Miley's in the house. Online dating, guy asks a girl to meet for coffee. Should he offer to pay for the coffee? Guy did not pay, kind of turned me off, mentioned it to a male friend of mine. He got mad that I expected it. Okay, you know, Matthew Hussie did a great video on this, who's supposed to pay on first, who pays on dates. He always says that if a man was raised right, he would offer to pay. And if a woman was raised right, if a man was raised right, he would pay. If a woman was raised right, she would offer to pay. Okay, that's his line. And I kind of subscribed to that because I was raised with that expectation. I'm expected to pay. I don't like the expectation. I'll be candid with you. I don't like the expectation, especially because it takes away my agency for generosity. So I'm gonna write that down. It takes away my agency for generosity. I would like to pay because I genuinely want to pay for someone, not because I'm expected to. Now, it's tricky because usually men usually make the suggestion of meeting. But when this is from an online connection, it's just two people meeting one another. Now, the other thing that Matthew Hussie says in the video is I wouldn't treat someone, I wouldn't treat my girlfriend. This is what he said. I wouldn't treat my girlfriend any different than one of my closest friends.  Like worth 100 times more than me. Okay, so, you know, I think it's worth a conversation. Like if by the way, usually when that happens, there's probably not mutual attraction. The guy just, you know, even not paying for the coffee. I'm always impressed when a woman makes the gesture. I've always been impressed with, like I had one woman went out to, we went out for drinks.  I had one woman, I picked up the drinks and she picked up the tip. I liked that reciprocity, that effort. That's just me. Every one of you, you can handle this question your own way. I'm just sharing with you my perceptions. There is no right or wrong. You have to do what's right for yourself. Molly, I love that question. Thank you so much. Aurora, coming back with question clarification. We have set a day, a week to see each other. Try for two, 50-50 happens, but we video chat almost every night. We don't see each other for hours. Well, if you video chat every night, then why do you need constant text messaging? I'm not a big fan of, listen, if most likely your need for more connection is because not enough trust built.  Then figure out a way to see each other three times a week or four times a week to build an actual relationship with one another. That's just my two cents. You can take it or leave it, okay?  Like what's your point? Are you gonna do one day a week for 10 years? I mean, what's the point? Folks, I'm here to advocate for day-in, day-out relationships where you see each other, three or four days and nights a week doing shared activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork building skills, both in your personal and your professional life, intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy that leads to either moving in together, getting married. That's what I advocate. But Jonathan, he lives too far away.  That's my two cents on that. I'm sorry I'm a little bit crass. It's just, I'm a big proponent of regular time together. Deborah, I'm lit. Hi, Jonathan, I'm living my life if I meet someone who shares my values so very it. May I hug you? Here's a hug. Thank you, I appreciate that. All right. Julie says, hey, Jonathan, you gave me a laugh for the day without, but Jonathan, thank you. You're very welcome. By the way, I would love it if someone would join the hot seat. We just put a stick link there. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Lighthouse says, nope, Matthew was young. I get it. Expecting me to pay takes away my agency for generosity. That's how I feel. Takes away my agency for generosity. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, let's keep going. Julie says, I see your point. Thank you, thank you so much. Power of cheese says technology is not suitable for basic human connection. We weren't designed, by the way, folks, we were not designed to communicate with our thumbs. You know, I remember one time I was doing an instant message conversation with someone through Yahoo! Personals. And I made a joke and it triggered her like nobody's business. And it was just a miscommunication on my part. It was a sincere miscommunication. And I spent the next hour trying to fix the misunderstanding. It is so hard.  We just weren't designed for that. We weren't designed for that. That's just my feeling, anyway. Okay. Jennifer says, my partner and I do one day a week, day, a work week with a weekend overnight. It's not ideal, but it's the great, great, our, wait. It's not ideal, but it's great for our schedules. And we're in a relationship. If you wanna be together, you'll find something. Again, I'm not a big proponent of it, but people find what works for them. I just don't believe that we build enough deep trust. I think proximity creates continuity. Continuity builds trust. And the further two people are apart, the harder it is to build trust. By the way, I don't say this cavalierly.  Now, are there exceptions, Jennifer? Absolutely, there are always exceptions, okay? There are always exceptions, but that's like the broken clock. I mean, more often than not, the farther two people are apart, the harder it is to build trust with one another. Then it puts a lot of dependency on these devices. And believe me, that's just artificial intimacy. Again, there are always exceptions. Oh, and Anna says, tone and inflections don't come across via text. Exactly. Sherry says, Jonathan is right about proximity. Exactly. Oh, that's horrible, Jonathan.  Oh my God, that's, I gotta tell you, when this happened to me, we ended up having the date. You know what? That was a clue. Here, coming back, this was early. This happened to me right after my divorce. I didn't know, I was not attuned, okay? But that challenge we had in communication was a clue, because when I met her in person, there was friction between the two of us. She still held it against me, you know? And that was just a, and believe me, I was a train wreck after my divorce. So I was no picnic then. That's why dating is hard right now. You know, we're navigating a lot of different, a lot of different emotions, okay? Oh, Leif says, proximity creates continuity. Continuity creates trust. Trust leads to commitment. Trust leads to commitment. Trust leads to commitment. Trust leads to commitment. Trust leads to commitment. Trust leads to commitment. Aurora's back in the house. Jonathan, I understand what you're saying and I agree 100% our parenting schedules and his Army Guard weekends are what deter us. We talked about adding lunch one day a week. Okay, good, make more effort. That's what I'm encouraging for you guys, okay? Jay Breezy says, if you're dating, you are courageous.  It takes courage. It takes a lot of courage to, dating requires vulnerability. Well, it requires authenticity. It requires transparency. That is really hard for a lot of people to be vulnerable, to be authentic, to be transparent, to articulate their thoughts and their feelings in such a way that can be seen, heard and understood. Let me repeat that. It is challenging for most humans to articulate their thoughts and feelings in such a way that can be seen, heard and understood. Have you ever watched the show on Showtime? It's called Couples Therapy. It's about an Israeli therapist in New York that does couples therapy. Or maybe it's HBO that it's on. I can't remember if it's Showtime or HBO. Okay, it's like hidden cameras and therapy sessions, okay? And it's fascinates to me because the husband will say something and actually it makes sense. When the wife says something it's like it doesn't make sense, but I'm just being tongue in cheek. And then she, the therapist regurgitates it in such a way that it actually makes, tries to make sense to the other person and the other way around. See, we've grown up watching movies or TV shows where there's writers. Writers write their script. It's all, it's easy. Someone else is writing your script. For ourselves, we have nobody typing, doing sereno-diversure act. Remember sereno-diversure act? Did you ever see the movie with Steve Martin Roxanne? Okay, with, oh God, with Steve Martin, Darrell Hanna, Rick Rozovich, Richard Rozovich, Rick Rozovich, the guy from Top Gun, played Slider, I think was his character.  And Steve Martin was a poet in the way he communicated but he had a gigantic nose. I can relate to the nose piece, by the way, okay? And so he would feed him the lines. He was wearing an earpiece and Rick Rozovich was, I hope I'm pronouncing his name properly. See, we don't have anyone doing that for us. We don't have someone feeding us the lines because it takes real work. It takes tremendous, herculean kind of work to actually learn how to articulate our feelings in such a way that Steve heard and understood. And this is the challenge for everyone. It's why I'm such a big proponent of doing personal development, self-help and spiritual work so you can get a tune to your emotions. Because sadly, dating triggers the number one to help emotional health issue and that is I'm not good enough, I'm not lovable and I'm not likable. Look ladies, I'm your big brother. I wish I could be there for you on a date. Shotgun at hand, pointed the guy's face and saying, what's your intentions with my sister? I wish I could do that for you. You gotta learn to do that for yourself. And if you need some support, schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. All right, he's avoiding deep feelings for you. If you see these six signs, a tune, awareness, turning towards you, tolerance, understanding, non-defensive response, empathy. If he's doing the exact opposite of those things, he doesn't have very deep feelings for you. And that's something we covered earlier in this broadcast. I hope you found value in this.

We'd love to have some money donated tonight. So we're a little bit shy of our goal, okay? All right, I wanna say, oh, I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do. First off, give myself a big, gigantic, Jonathan Barrick of self-love. I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone.
