Word and upward how is everyone doing I listen I realized we're doing a lot of studio time right now on the channel the reason is because we're in baby mode right now specifically Henry mode this baby is not here yet and we don't know when he's gonna arrive but I don't want to go to the mountains and be that dad that missed his son's birth because he's out running in the mountains and like when I go up to the mountains I'm usually out of cell phone service for two hours three hours sometimes even you know four hours and it's like so I don't want to be that dad so therefore I'm keeping the filming a little simpler right now as we await the arrival of baby Henry hence no outside yeah I'm just being patient you know the drill just being patient okay but I did get a good run in today here we go 20 miles where is this I didn't bring the shoe out it's the hoca speed goat for because which is a trail shoe and I ran in the hoca speed goat for today because we have a lot of ice and snow on the creek paths here in Denver right now and so I love using the trail shoe to help with grip through the snow so 20 miles 720 mile there it is on your screen and kilometers and actually everyone I went a little faster than I was I was hoping for 730s it ended up being 720s I'm okay with that I wasn't looking at my watch but sure enough I guess the legs are feeling pretty good and that is that but anyway first law really yeah first was it yeah I think it was the first 20 mile run of this marathon training block I do believe I have to check Strava later and here we go diving in key running shoe knowledge for your next purchase alright so the goal of today's vlog is to help you understand these running shoe terms that I get it can be a little confusing at times if you're not immersed into the running shoe space but the goal is that you can take this knowledge in these terms of the anatomy of running shoes and apply them to when you visit your next running shoe store so here we go the upper of the shoe that is the top of the shoe so upper there it is on your screen the upper of the shoe it's the material that wraps around the top of your foot so that's that's a first term that you really want to know about the upper the midsole that's the foam that protects your your entire body but especially your feet your legs from the pounding it absorbs the impact on the ground so the midsole and so that's term 2 and then last but not least the outsole that's the bottom of the shoe okay so upper midsole and outsole on the upper of the shoe right here let's start in the back and work our way toward the front so we've got the heel counter alright that is the back of the shoe here that wraps around your heel and base it provides that lock down feel for your heel so your heel is not slipping out of the shoe so that's the heel counter on the top of the heel counter a term that you might not be familiar with is the heel tab okay and it's basically the protection for your Achilles tendon some actually in the Hoka Carbon X I had an issue with my Achilles tendon rubbing on the heel tab in 2019 so anyway this is the heel tab there and then wrapping let me take this out wrapping around the collar of the shoe so think of a collar on a shirt that you button up you put a tie around so this is a collar of the shoe that wraps around your ankle it's a this U shape right here okay it's kind of like a horseshoe right there really critical for me when I'm deciding what shoes I want to purchase and then the sock liner so the sock liner and this is a new term that I didn't have in 2019 the sock liner is kind of what it sounds like it's it's what lines what presses I should say what presses up right against the your sock inside the shoe so any some shoes are have a lot of padding for example whoa look at this the Brooks Ghost this has a ton of sock liner padding through this heel collar area and whereas this Carbon X has much less sock liner padding okay so that's the inside of the shoe that touches your sock alright that's the easiest way to put it alright moving on to the tongue of the shoe alright take that out so this is the tongue of the shoe most of you know this one it lays right on top of your foot right there that's the tongue of the shoe and but again a new term from 2019 that I'm learning about and that a lot of shoes are starting to implement into their designs the gusseted tongue the gusseted tongue so what is that we've talked about this in the past actually a couple other shoes have had the gusseted tongue recently basically it means the tongue is connected to the outer wall of the upper so the tongue cannot slide around so let me just see if I can pull it out there that is the gusseted tongue right there that stretchy fabric right there and I actually like a gusseted tongue yeah I like it helps keep the tongue right in place on the top of your foot so that might be something at a running shoe store if you know like you've had issues with the tongue migrating and moving around on the top of your foot that would be a perfect term to remember and say to your running shoe rep and say hey I don't like when the tongue moves around do you have a shoe that has a gusseted tongue to help keep it in place alright there you go okay moving on to the eyelet chain okay actually I called this the eyelets in 2019 but I'm learning more this is the eyelet chain it's what the shoe laces go through this is the eyelet chain starting near the toebox going all the way up the shoe toward the collar and yes this is where you do the runners knot if you like the runners knot at the top of the eyelet chain okay so I will say that the new balance beacon v1 I loved the new balance here's the baby blues remember these everyone I love the beacons but I did not like the eyelet chain I think it was not the construction quality was low they were starting to tear and rip and I just didn't like the eyelet chain on the beacon v1 I think they improved it a little bit in the v2 but anyway I love the beacon so just keep that in mind the eyelet chain is important because it helps you lock down on the top of your foot to make sure you're nice and secure in the shoe okay moving on to the toebox okay that's the that's right it's just like it sounds it's the box that wraps around your toes right around right in the front of the shoe so this is the toebox right here but you might not know about the vamp okay that is the material right on the side of the toebox the vamp and I've recently read that if you can squeeze with when your foot is in the shoe if you can pinch the material more than like a quarter inch then there's too much it's basically the the upper through the toebox is too baggy and I actually don't I can't stand when uppers and toeboxes like in the beacon v2 scroll I call it scrunching when the toebox material is scrunching and actually I remember the Carbon X did a little bit of scrunching on me as in 2019 and it depends a little bit on the volume of your foot when it's inside the shoe okay moving on to the toe cap it's just what it sounds it's this toe cap right there on the very front of the shoe to help protect your feet from kicking rocks but that's not a good example I don't know if this is gonna have a good toe cap yeah well this is not bad this is a La Sportiva trail shoe so that yellow is a toe cap to help protect your toes from kicking rocks out on the trails critical for trail shoes to have a solid good toe cap if you're doing aggressive trail running so the toe cap alright and then let's keep moving here to the overlays alright we talk a lot about overlays here in the studio through this heel counter on the Brooks ghost I think this is the 10 or 11 the Brooks ghost 11 so this is the overlay which sits on it's a plastic or a rubber that sits on top of the upper material whether it's a flying it or a mesh and it provides a little more stability and rigidity through the upper material so that is the overlays is what this is called here through the heel counter okay and last but not least on the upper are the laces I didn't even talk about this in 2019 for the anatomy lesson the laces I'm learning more and more everybody I'm very very I'm becoming more and more particular about running shoe laces not just the material that they use but even the length of the laces have you isn't it so frustrating when you lace up your running shoes and you're running you run out of running you run out of lace and you're like wait a minute I have to like I can only do a single knot because I can't do a double knot or you end up having too much lace for example I've noticed ultra running shoes have a lot of laces and I end up having to tuck the laces in anyway the running shoe laces are actually I think pretty important because it helps with cinching down and just getting that precise fit that you want in the lockdown for your foot in the shoe so who knows maybe a running shoe store would be willing to if you don't like the laces maybe they'd be willing to swap out laces would like in the back they might have some extra shoe laces I don't know it's now you can never hurts to ask right okay moving on to the midsole so here's the deal this is kind of unique but I'm gonna put the insole of the shoe in the midsole category so again the midsole is this cushion here through the midsole but this insole sits on top of the midsole on the what's called the footbed so the footbed is the inside of the shoe and then in the footbed is sits on top of the midsole and the insole sits on top of the footbed bottom line critical insoles are critical again back to the beak in v1 the insole struggled also the hoca Rincon struggled and that you know remember the spinco the green spinco that I put inside shoes to help provide give a little more cushion to the ride I'm telling you like a really well thought out insole is I think it's really important for a shoe so when you're at the running shoe store pull out the insole and just kind of check it out a little bit make sure it's not paper thin like I've noticed in quite a few hoca shoes and some new balance shoes as well all right putting it out there okay moving on to of course stability versus neutral we've talked about that whether you need stability shoes or neutral shoes and you can have you can have either a medial post or a guide rail to help give you stability through your foot strike if you need stability shoes so the guide rail or medial post will be right here on the outside of the midsole just again to provide a little more stability for your foot strike okay moving on to of course this is why a lot of people were not a lot of people some people were a little upset that I I cut open a Nike next percent and a 4% but the reason I did that was again for moments like this when we're analyzing and breaking down running shoes here in the studio I want you all to be able to see the inside of these shoes and analyze with me what's happening in here so just so you know I'm keeping these forever so there's now of course through the midsole a lot of shoes that are coming out with carbon fiber plates in fact I have a list for all of you that I found today let me just pull it up real quick if I can here's all the shoes coming out in 2020 in the next three to four months with carbon fiber plates all right you ready for this take out your pen and pencil go to your running shoe store and say hey when are these dropping here we go the Soccany endorphin pro that's probably the one I'm most excited about the Nike Alpha Fly next percent the Adidas Adi Zero Pro the Skechers Go Run Speed Elite Hyper the Asics Meta Racer the Brooks Hyperion Elite and the New Balance Fuel Cell TC and RC the RC is going to be released later so there is the list of carbon fiber plate running shoes for all of you it's gonna be an amazing 2020 but take that list and go to the running shoe store and say hey when are these dropping can I get a pair can I get a pair now moving on to trail running shoes real quick so just so you know in most trail running shoes not all of them there's a rock plate in the in the between the midsole and the footbed to protect your feet from rocks all right so this Las Portiva Tempesta GTX has a rock plate in there it's a it's really critical if you're going over rocky trails or trails with roots really critical I've been in some trail shoes that I thought had a rock plate and realized after the run that I did not have a rock plate and my feet were barking at me so rock plate is in trail shoes in that midsole okay and then just so you know most midsole okay I should got to be careful what I say many midsole are made out of EVA foam okay in that EVA what does that stand for Ethyl vinyl acetate ethyl vinyl acetate which is kind of a scientific terminology for this midsole foam so there you go that is the composition of midsole's for running shoes I will just say the midsole also creates the drop or the offset of the running shoe so the drop is the slope of the shoe always measured in millimeters just so you know so if it's a six millimeter drop or offset that means for example I don't know what this one is but I'd say the heel has a 28 millimeter stack height meaning the midsole foam is 28 millimeters and then did I say eight so then it would be 20 we'll just say six millimeter so it would be a 22 millimeter stack height in the four foot that's what creates so it's that 28 minus 22 to get that six millimeter drop and that creates the slope in the shoe and that's a huge actually I've made a vlog all about drop you haven't seen it check it out upper right hand corner okay moving on so we've covered the upper the midsole moving on to that outsole okay the outsole again is the bottom of the shoe right there so shoes have some shoes have exposed midsole foam and I'm looking for example this is a perfect example so the new balance beacon lineup this is exposed midsole foam meaning there's no rubber protecting the midsole except in this case right here in the toe in the toe by in the forefoot I should say right through there and then also in the heel where you you might heel strike okay whereas the Brooks Ghost 11 has a lot more rubber on the outsole okay so that's another great if you gosh that's another great thing to bring into the running shoe store and say hey I prefer a shoe I want a shoe that gets me 500 600 700 miles you're probably gonna want to ask the running shoe store rep for a shoe with more rubber on the outsole versus exposed midsole foam like this beacon where if you get more than 300 miles I think you're you're you're living on a prayer so okay so here we go so there's the outsole also I'll say I love it adidas works with continental rubber so I just love the cross pollination and Skechers is now working with Goodyear so I don't know the whole process but what I'm guessing is adidas is buying old rubber from continental and slapping it on the bottom of their adidas running shoes and then Skechers is doing the same thing with Goodyear I think it's brilliant okay also here we go on the outsole this is called the footbridge the footbridge right there through the midfoot so the footbridge helps with arch support and also with creating a little more stability and rigidity through the midsole so you're not overpronating or supinating too much if that is an issue with your footstrike or yeah with your footstrike so this is called a footbridge and it's not all shoes have it for example the beacon definitely does not have a footbridge and the the hoka carbon X does not have a footbridge and this adidas audio's five has a footprint bridge it's usually just made out of plastic to help give a little extra support there through the through the midsole and outsole okay then of course the tread of the shoe all right here we go so back to this last sportiva has a lot of tread there versus the hoka carbon X which has absolutely no tread at all so the tread is just the grip or the traction that you get out there on the trails or even on wet roads it does it can make a difference for you out there so there you have it i know that was a lot everyone here in the studio lots of terminology go back rewatch this and you'll you'll try just try and pull out as many in fact if i if i have time and i remember i'll try to list all these terms down in the description so you have a list and i hope they just help give you the knowledge and the confidence to go to these running shoe stores where listen you show up and there's some of these stores have hundreds of shoes on the wall and it's intimidating it's like this is overwhelming and so if you have this knowledge ahead of time you can say okay this is what i like this is what has worked this is what has not worked for me in the past i don't like a footbridge or i don't like a booty style collar not this one but whatever the case may be all these terms can help give you the confidence to walk into the store and say this is what i like this is what doesn't work and that question of the day here we go i love that i i've never asked this so i'm really interested to hear and i think it's gonna maybe if you have a local running shoe store send them this vlog and yeah i'll just be curious to see but okay do you remember your best running shoe store experience and why was it your best like what what happened in the whole process of buying your running and it was like the best running shoe store experience of your life tell the story down in the comments i'd appreciate it thanks for being there thanks for watching that's today's vlog onward and upward and uh we're gonna toss it back on the right to yes last year's uh running shoe anatomy vlog that'll be on the right and on the left we'll toss it back to the running shoe drop vlog where i explain running shoe drop and offset all right there you go see beauty work hard and love each other see you tomorrow


Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny. Welcome back to yet another exciting FNAF news video and likely the final FNAF news video of the year, the final news video of 2023. And we got a lot of stuff to talk about today. With the recent release of Help Wanted 2, we got to be able to talk about upcoming ports for the game. The FNAF movie is finally available now on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD and it's got some bonus features and then a whole bunch of merch updates from companies like U2s and heck. So we've got a lot to talk about. If you're excited for all the news, scroll down, tickle that subscribe button. I hope you all had a holly jolly Christmas season. And speaking of that, first up, we got some companies celebrating the festive season. Steawall putting out this beautiful art piece featuring the cast of Security Breach. Says happy holidays from Steawall Studios, but that was not the only thing Steawall released for Christmas because to really get you in the mood, they released this one hour long fireplace setting of the FNAF Pizza Plex. I actually saw a lot of FNAF fans over on Twitter tweet out that they had this on their TV during Christmas Day. So that was awesome to see. And lastly, we had Click Team tweet out this wonderful art piece featuring Lullaby dressed up as Santa Claus. Still very curious about Click Team's obsession with Lullaby, but we're gonna have to wait and see what they're cooking up. And now let's move on to a segment I feel like we haven't done in a while and that's brand new book releases because the other day we saw the release of the official movie novel for Five Nights at Freddy's. I saw a lot of people confused. This is basically just the movie put into book form. Here's the back, if you wanna take a look, I will say there's extra dialogue and some extra minor scenes in the book. So honestly, if you enjoyed the FNAF movie and you wanna see more of the world, more of the characters interacting, I'd highly recommend picking up this book. And we also got Fazbear Fritz graphic novel number four. It features the stories, the breaking wheel, Serge's lucky day, as well as the cliffs. Moving on to brand new merchandise, you may notice that right down here we've got the official Five Nights at Freddy's Freddy Fazbear pillow pet. Well, thankfully, very soon, Freddy's gonna have a little buddy to join him because Foxy is officially getting his pillow pet. This is what the little guy currently looks like. And I will say, he looks so goofy. I love him so much. No exact date on the release of the Foxy pillow pet, but presumably it's gonna be pretty soon because he looks pretty much done. The page says coming soon. And speaking of new plushies, we got Hex finally releasing their official mango plushie. And I will say the end result for mango is absolutely insane. Huge props to Warren, James and Daco for going through with this. It looks absolutely incredible. Very accurate to how the mango looks. It also comes with a whole bunch of other accessories as well. It's got a brand new bag design featuring some awesome artwork of the mango. Of course, like the other Hex plushies, it's also got a collectible card. There's also a sticker sheet of some of the other FNAF II Hex plushies. And because mango has such a complex build, it also comes with two support stands so you can display mango properly. And speaking of Hex plushies, we've got an updated look at their upcoming Springtrap plushie. Now, the first thing that stuck out to me was that he's holding a knife, but a few times now in the past that it seems like knives have been censored from FNAF media. But frankly, it makes too much sense with Springtrap to have a knife so it's awesome to see that that's his accessory. And overall, the new look of Springboy just looks absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for them to keep cooking with this guy. And now let's move on to some YouTube news and there is a lot, so buckle up. First up for new releases, we got a security breach ex Dan TDM figure. Definitely wasn't expecting this, but you've got Dan dressed up as Glamrock Freddy as well as his two pugs standing right beside him. This figure is available right now so if you're a fan of Dan TDM, may I recommend this figure for all you FNAF heads out there. Also out right now are the Fanverse plushies for the Joy of Creation Ignited Collection. You've got Ignited Freddy as well as Ignited Foxy. For Five Nights at Candies, you've got Long Candy as well as Sitting Candy. And then for Popgos, you've got Long Popgos as well as Sitting Popgos. And that is not it because literally tomorrow we're getting yet another new wave of FNAF merchandise. U2's FNAF Help Wanted figures are finally releasing as you can see. We've got Shadowmango, Glitchtrap, Dreadbear and Grim Foxy. They will only be available for 14 days, so two weeks. And especially if you're a fan of Dreadbear, you might find this next part pretty interesting because one out of every five or six Dreadbear figures actually will become Glow in the Dark. And here's what they look like. It's absolutely amazing how well these guys glow. Like I said though, this will not be every Dreadbear figure. But if you're lucky and you beat the odds and you get this Glow in the Dark Dreadbear figure, congratulations, it's an awesome, very rare figure. But we're not only getting figures based on Help Wanted because U2's also revealed that we're getting pins featuring the same characters, Grim Foxy, Glitchtrap, Dreadbear, Shadowmango and a second Glitchtrap pin. It's unclear right now if these pins will also be limited to two weeks, like the figures. And now for some upcoming U2's merchandise. First of all, we got some brand new Sun and Moon Shoulder Riders, which is a little weird because as you can see, I've already got the fellas right here. They've already released Sun and Moon Shoulder Riders so it looks like we're getting new ones. U2's also revealed an upcoming Glamrock Freddy Shoulder Riders so it seems like we're gonna get another set of Security Breach Shoulder Riders. And also just like Hex, U2 showed off an updated look at their upcoming Springtrap plushie. This is a side-by-side comparison between the old prototype that you may have seen of the Springtrap plush and my God, this new design looks absolutely so, so much better. All props to them, they heard the community's feedback, they went back, they changed how he looks. They fixed up his ear, they fixed up his eyes, his mouth, he's even the actual color of Springtrap now so U2's, you're cooking with this one. And speaking of redesigns, not too long ago, we got the Ruin Wave, however Glamrock Chica was not included in that release. That's because her original design fans were not pleased with it so U2's didn't release it. They went back to the drawing board and they sculpted up a brand new product and this is that brand new design for Ruin Chica and my God, again, U2's, you're knocking it out of the park. A massive, massive improvement in this brand new design of Chica is set to release in spring of 2024. In fact, thanks for a recent new Reddit AMA. We got a whole bunch of updates on upcoming releases. First of all, the FNAF movie line of figures is going to contain four to five figures. One of those being Doug, who we've seen in the past. A figure of Mike also got confirmed and even Jason Blum might be getting a figure inside of that wave so that's gonna be super interesting but there are still a few slots open so I'd love to know what character from the FNAF movie would you love to get a figure of? Of course, I think the main character people want is William Afton, you know the yellow rabbit, Steve Raglan. Vanessa is also a super popular character, Abby as well but before we get the FNAF movie wave, the withered figures will be releasing in March. U2's confirmed that will be the next wave of figures to be released so we got the withers in March and then after that, the FNAF movie wave. They did also reveal that a withered Freddy plush has been designed so it seems like we might also get withered plushies. In other news, they said that the toys might be getting figures for next year. Ruin Slash help wanted plushies are also being designed for next year. The keycaps are still in the works but they're taking a while because they want them to be good quality. And lastly for U2's news, it's kind of somber. We got the news that the illuminated figures are no longer being worked on. Austin from U2 said that these were ultimately canned and got replaced by the haunted and flocked FNAF one figures. But now let's finally move on to some brand new game updates. First up, we got some news on the Ruin Xbox and Nintendo Switch ports but unfortunately it's some pretty bad news. In a recent blog post, Ray McCaffrey had this to say about the Xbox and Switch ports for Ruin back in August I said that we were hoping to have the Xbox version out by the end of this year and it came really close. Ultimately, we decided to push it out a little more. We will pick it up back in January with fresh eyes so that we can quickly give you an actual release date. Pushing was not an easy decision but we hope that you can understand why it was the right one. As well as unfortunately there are no new updates for Ruin Switch release right now. Put it plainly, we do not have any concrete plans and have not started development. I wish I had better news but we want you to know where it actually stands. So unfortunately for Xbox and Switch FNAF fans you gotta wait just a bit longer to get your hands on Ruin and now let's move on to another Steal World project. This one that just released not too long ago. Help Wanted 2 just got its first patch for PC and PlayStation 5. The most notable change I'd say is that there is now support for Steam Link and for other platforms getting the game we got Steal World taking to Twitter and they write those who purchased the VR version will receive a flat version for free once it launches in spring of 2024. Also in spring of 2024 the game will come to the Oculus Quest and you can actually pre-order the game on Oculus Quest right now. And lastly for this FNAF news video let's talk about the FNAF movie. First up we got some pretty interesting behind the scenes look at some concept art for the film. Here we can see the original design the illustrations for the outside of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. I don't know about you guys I absolutely adore seeing behind the scenes concept art for films and games and hopefully we'll get a lot more next year because on August 20th we'll be getting a book titled The Art and Making of the FNAF movie. So that's super exciting. Next up we've got the very exciting news that the FNAF movie is now available on DVD 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray. You can see I've got the DVD right up there. This is what the home release of the film looks like as you can see it the sleeves actually holographic and also at the top this is the night shift edition. What does that mean? Well first of all let's slide off this case. There we go. This is what the back looks like and those secret menu items you see right there. Those are the bonus features available on this version of the film. So you've got five nights at Freddy's from game to big screen, killer and electronics and five nights in three dimension. Now you may notice those are the same bonus feature that we got on the digital version if you got it on some select platforms. So unfortunately there are no deleted scenes on the physical version of the FNAF film which upset a lot of fans. Even some bonus features that were seemingly confirmed like a gag reel and director's commentary are not featured on this version which is very strange. But either way we're lucky enough to get the feature that we did get and as we can see we got the cast and crew. Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard, Josh Hutcherson, Emma Tommy as well as Jason Blum celebrating the physical release of the FNAF movie. And speaking of Matthew Lillard that is going to bring us to our final news topic for today, the upcoming sequels for the FNAF movie because those have been confirmed especially considering Matthew Lillard who plays William Afton has signed a three picture deal. However it seems like he wants to make a bit more than three films because in a few interviews at this point he said that he's hoping for a bunch of FNAF movies to be made. He said I'm pretty thrilled right now to be a part of a new franchise. I'm hoping that we get to do a bunch of these and if I'm the Voldemort that means I'll always be in it. As long as we at the end of however many movies we do satisfy what people want that's all I could ask for. So it seems that Matthew much like his character William Afton he wants to keep coming back. Like I said it seems like a trilogy is pretty much confirmed for this franchise especially considering how well this first film was done. I've seen a few reports now that the FNAF 2 movie is officially in production. They're walking on the animatronics. They're still rewriting the script a bit. Seems like filming is set for mid 2024 and the actual release date's gonna be early to mid 2025 but feel free to take that with a grain of salt. We're actually still waiting on Blumhouse to officially announce that a second film was in the works but it's pretty much confirmed at this point thanks to insiders and various articles. So that is going to do it for this probably very long FNAF news video. Like I said this will likely be the final one of the year. So thank you all so much for joining me on this absolutely crazy journey that has been FNAF in the year of 2023. It's been absolutely insane. And here's to 2024 because I'm thinking the year FNAF will continue on into next year. Thanks for watching this video and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


Hey girl, how you guys doing? Girl, I look like a hot mess. Oh my God, y'all. This hair, this hair is still doing blown up face and then she got all over the place. Hold on. How's y'all allergies doing? Baby, are allergies or honestly out of all three of us, all of us have different allergies. We've come up from sneezing, coughing every now and then. Jamie was coughing yesterday. Anyway, hey y'all, I'm back with a little vlog and it's Friday, it's Friday and I've been just awake. Girl, a lot has been going on which is why I haven't done a vlog. I mean a lot, y'all. A lot. Let me personally, I try to give myself a little room or wiggle room for changes. So a relocation moving to another state, that's a huge change and me personally, I think it could take up to six months to fully settle it. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with this camera y'all. I'm on my new phone, girl. Oh, there we go. This is an iPhone 13, I hope the quality is okay. I think it looks a lot better than my old phone, y'all. Miss Jackson was, I do too much at the same time. I'd be doing too much. I'd be putting so much stuff in my hand.  They don't know how to put the toilet seat down. So as I was walking by the toilet, my phone slipped out of my hand and fell in the toilet. Now, since I'm very clean and I clean my toilet every week, I reached in there and grabbed it out.   Girl, neat was to say, I'm recording on the new phone. This is the old phone. You see all the water being which here and all there. I was really in my feelings a couple of days ago. Yeah, I know he started in this new private school and I just, I get everyone is different but I just want people to understand when our child is starting something new and they've gone through multiple changes like JB had has, it's gonna take a while for him to get used to the process. So I, you know, his teacher, he was like, JB's having a hard time doing his homework. You know, I'm having him to do it but it's taking a long time. And she responded back and she's like, that's actually not homework. We're having a hard time with him actually completing his work at school. And I'm like, what? And so I think I've told you all this before but basically there's two teachers in this classroom, right? About 18 kids. And so she's saying that the one teacher assistant was sit with JB, go through the work. He seems like he understands then when that teacher get up, JB just sits there and he's not doing his work. And so I explained to her, I said, I don't think it's necessary him not wanting to do the work. He's just, he's being distracted and he just can't focus enough to do it. So I met with a pediatrician. He does agree that JB does have some focus issues and it's just gonna be a process. The only good thing I could say is that JB, there's two parts of it when you have ADHD. You can, you know, have the focus of tension issues and then hyperactivity. Thank God, my baby is not hyperactive.  Now every now and then he would do the slow, he'll, his hyperactivity is him walking around. He does his pacing back and forth sometimes when he's doing, and that's just him. But some of these kids, child, and he's not bad at school or anything like that, it's just, you have to continue to redirect him. So it's just a process. Another thing that I felt a little bit not almost, as a parent, you always wanna make sure if you're doing the right thing. And for a while there, I felt like, oh my God, maybe I shouldn't have homeschooled him or maybe I should have continued to homeschool him instead of putting him in that micro school. But there was no way, y'all, with us trying to move here, I just did not have the time to, I could not do it. So his teacher actually did agree that he's a type of child that would benefit from one on one. I always knew that. I just don't have the time to do it. What's the point? He's gonna have to repeat third grade. And that's unfortunate, but it makes sense because I only homeschooled him for first and second grade. Third grade, he's been in three different schools, technically, and he hasn't had hardly. This is the only school where he's had true curriculum and he's only been in there for three weeks. So the teacher agreed that, you know, repeating third grade is okay, but I was a little butt hurt about it. I was thinking, I can catch him up Vivian. No, you can't. I can't, especially now that I have two jobs, I can't catch him up. But what I will do is over the summer is continue the education so that he can stay on track for third grade. So yeah, that's going on with JB. This weather girl in Texas, rainy, high, rain. I think the weather today is gonna be a high of 88, which means, you see my hair? I'm a, y'all, look, I'm gonna give y'all a formal review or what do you call it, review a tour of the house. It's quiet, happy quiet. I'll give y'all a tour of the house and like, give me a minute. Give me like, I guess I could do it next week. I don't know. So it's a little messy right now. JB did his little, make his little story thing again. I told him, he can't do a lot, but it's an abandoned story. Y'all, I'll let him do whatever. This is a little line, yeah, this is where I put it. I love that I have plenty of room. Look at this. All of it up there, but I'm short. So this is what I could, five, two. I've been telling y'all I'm five, five, three and a half and I'm really bad. All right, y'all, this is what I'm wearing. My hair is already falling, girl. Girl, yes, tutorial's coming soon. The last time I wore this dress was for my 40th birthday and I've lost weight since then. Yeah, girl, look at that waist, come through waist. And this is my red purse, platinum waist. You think I'm gonna take this off though? I'm gonna take this off. But yes, girl, get into this outfit. What's that in the back, girl? Yes, cute, huh? No, she's the last. Say happy birthday. Oh, my God. Two sets of stickers.  Hot mess. Let me back out of this garage. The weather is warming up, but they ain't gonna last long. Ain't gonna last long here in Texas. Oh my gosh. Because it's Texas and it's gonna cool down some and then it's gonna rain. We had some to the car off. We had such a good time last night. Those y'all who live in the DFW area. You already had a good time. Those y'all who live in the DFW area, you have got to check out the ranch out in, girl, what's going on with the hair? Out in Los Calinos. Absolutely love it. We went there a couple of years ago and I was like, this is pretty good. And so that's our spot. So my husband and I, we always have like one or two restaurants that we keep on our roster and the ranch is one of them. Now, one of the restaurants we used to go to, and I don't know where I'm looking at y'all, one of the restaurants we used to go to Moran Fork and Scottsdale, Arizona, they actually have a location in Austin. Tell me why next spring break, we're gonna just plan a trip to the state capital in Austin, Texas. But the main reason is to go to that restaurant. What? Yeah. That's the main reason. We're not driving. I'm over here choking, this child is laughing. So, we're not driving. We are driving, baby. Ooh, y'all, I had a little cough. Our allergies are horrible. We think there's something, JB Hush, we think there's something in the house that's messing up our allergies. So we were more than likely get the carpet replaced, boo-boo. We're gonna have to get that carpet. We think it's the carpet. No, that carpet was never replaced. We had it cleaned. He's getting confused. Our carpet in the old house in Phoenix was replaced, remember? I know, that's what I'm saying again. This carpet is not good. I think the carpet is messing up our allergies because after we had the carpet steamed, we would be good for a while. And now, and this is the irony, we're good outside. So it has to be something in the house. We're gonna go, why I am craving bagels. Yes. But there is no, the closest Einstein bagel for us is 30 minutes away. I want it to live in the country Vivianna. You want it to live in the country. You want it to live out here in the country. So, hey, you guys, look, you can see my hair now. You know what? I think I'm gonna put like, maybe like two or three rollers in my hair or something girl, to try to maintain this. Cause I have a lot of meetings coming up next week. It's Sunday, but I'm doing my planning for the next week. I have a meeting every day next week, except for Thursday. Every day next week. That's why I have a video scheduled for y'all. I have two videos and cooling this vlog that I could schedule for y'all next week. And I have a hair and later video, but I don't have time to schedule anything in between that. I probably do a chit chat and schedule. You know what that's what I'll do? I'll do a chit chat video next week, make that public, make the vlog video public, and then move the hair video to the following. See, that's what you gotta do, being on these YouTube streets. And then I have a list of my upcoming vlog. And just to do this, y'all, I try to be very organized like this. I have to be this way.  I gotta get scheduled. I need to follow up with my husband to make sure that he's, y'all, our refrigerator, the breaker keeps tripping. And literally my husband has to go out to the, what do you call it, the breaker box and turn back on the refrigerator. Cause I be, damn, if I wake up in the morning and all our food is ain't, look, we grown, right? We grown. First of all, that food last night was so good. I always get the same thing, baby. Chicken fried chicken, which I haven't even had chicken fried chicken since I've been here. You know, so I've been living here. So almost 15 years, chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes, baby. It hits the spot and those drinks are on point. But he gon' send me a text message. I'm asleep talking to my, send me a picture of you. I'm like, who is this?  Talk to my, send me a picture of you. Girl, we are not, we are not 20 years old, but that's cute girl. I guess that's his way of flirting, send me. Anyway, y'all, yeah, I got a lot, I got a lot of appointments we have to schedule. I need to schedule, I already scheduled JB's pediatrician appointment. Getting stuff off my to-do list, y'all. So I'm thinking though, yeah, the PNCross video ain't doing it. I think I will do the blue magic, the eating body works. I found another deep conditioner to you guys by organic. Oh, I can't remember the name, y'all. Organics, that's like so many products I heard that I've never used before. But yeah, I do want to around, probably in like two more months, I want to do twists on blown out hair, which I've done before, but these are gonna be really, really neat. Like I'm gonna take my time, separate the back and conquer girl anyway. So yeah, that was something that I need to schedule, electrician. Alex, did you get that list? Did you get that list of electricians that I sent you? So hey, y'all. I'm gonna be making creamy chipotle pasta with salmon. Now, this is a dish that is found at the Cheesecake Factory. They have creamy chipotle chicken pasta. And it's okay, I've never had it there before. I'm very picky when it comes to the Cheesecake Factory. There's only a few dishes that I will eat there. But nonetheless, this is how I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna show you my ingredients and then I'm not gonna show every step because I'm doing a lot of different things. So we have parsley, butter, garlic, green peas, red and green bell peppers. We have jalapenos, that's optional. We have chipotle in adobo sauce. We have heavy cream. We have chicken bouillon. We have pasta, I'm using the corkscrew pasta. Mostly you will use pinae pasta. What you also will put in here is asparagus. I'm not a big fan of asparagus, so we're gonna be having green beans on the side. The honey is for the salmon. Hear me out. I know you're like, what? Hear me out. Since this is gonna be a spicy dish and you can literally control the spice with the amount of chipotle sauce. We like spicy food. We're gonna be putting on quite a bit of chipotle sauce. I figure it with a honey, butter, salmon. It will pair well with the spicy pasta and then with green beans on the side. As far as seasonings, y'all know I do my seasonings. I have, I'm not gonna use this since I have some on the side over here. We have the New Orleans Cajun Seasoning, Italian seasonings, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, grocers, food decoration. We have salt and that is it. Olive oil. I have my pans and everything here ready to go. I don't think that's too boring to breathe. What are you gonna eat for dinner? Make up your mind.


Have you ever picked code from a website and they say get this code, add it into your website and then eventually you're going to have it showing up and doing this particular thing that you've always wanted to do. Well in today's video I'm going to show you how you can actually do this. So first and foremost we have a little bit of code here that allows us to have a flat rate of five dollars and then we get the taxable amount and then we throw it on a WooKama card and add an extra fee or a VAT charge which is a value added tax into the system and eventually you get a total of this. How did I get this to work? There are two ways of actually doing this. The first one is if you get this code here I'm going to copy it and then I'm going to just comment it out and let me reload this and you'll see right now we don't have any of that code working here so we don't have that function in our website. Two ways. The first way is that you go into your WordPress install and inside your WordPress install you'll see this number of files and when you go into the wp content file you have about four different files, four folders, give or take. Now inside this we have two files that would be particularly interested in. We have the plugins file and we have the themes file. Option number one that you have here is to add to the themes file. So inside the themes you go inside the themes and I don't know how many themes you have installed maybe one but inside my own install if I go to the appearances panel we have themes here and I will notice that my theme that is installed is actually 2019. How do I know this has no activate button but when I hover over this we have activate. So this is my theme that is actually active. Now I'll go inside 2019 in this case and I'll look for a file called functions.php and when I open it all I need to do is go all the way to the bottom add a themes of empty space then I will paste our code that we had actually picked from the other side. If I save this and come back to our page and reload it we'll see that we now have our vat actually working here. So if I decided to change this vat and record it maybe surcharge and save you'll see you on the reload here that we actually have our surcharge actually showing up here and the function is doing well. That's step number one. Now step number two of actually adding your code properly into your WordPress is using a plugin but first let's remove this code here so that we have everything as fresh as it was before. So function not showing up here. Now for this to actually work very well you actually have to go inside back into your WordPress install go to wp content and then you're going to your plugins folder. Now inside your plugins folder you'll open up a new folder called for example I'll call it takey press add prices and then inside this I will create a new file but what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a code editor. If you don't have a code editor you can use notepad in here and then inside notepad you'll add a few lines of code and then save that file as php but if you have a visual editor like I have here in the background which is called visual studio code all I need to do is actually just drop this file in there and when I drop it in here you will see that it is empty all I need to do is create a new file and then call it takey press who add prices like we had our file here but instead of just stopping there we add an extra full stop and then we'll call it dot php because WordPress actually runs on a server side language called php so that's where all the code is actually got. Now we'll add our code inside our php file but before we do that we open up with php tags to show that this is a php file and then we'll paste in our code let me increase the space here we'll paste in our code and save however this is not yet ready to work because the way WordPress recognizes plugins is by having a number of lines before all this code but you only need to do it once you don't do it every other time so I start off with two slashes and inside those slashes I'm going to add some lines some stars in there to show that this is a comment block we call this a comment block and in this copy block the first thing we need is actually to have a plugin name now this plugin name will allow us that when we go inside our plugins in our WordPress you will be able to see this particular plugin that we do have so I'm going to call this plugin taking press add prices and when I save this and reload here you will now see that this is recognized as a plugin and I can actually click activate then when I activate and come back here and reload this this will actually work so it's vat with that because we have vat here but if I wanted to call it a soda price for example and reload here you'll see that it is soda price with the extra calculation or getting a flat rate of five and then multiplying this cut fig with 18 percent and then just adding them together to give us that new soda price so this is how we add things in a plugin but you'll see that my plugin is different from all these others it's because there's some extra lines of code that are actually missing here so on the next line if we press enter we need to add what we call the author and the author will be taking press in this particular case and if I save this come back here and reload this I want you to note as you make these changes they don't break any of your code so if you come back here and reload you'll see that your function is still doing well but you will see that now we have by take a press but it's not blue as this other one and it doesn't have a link it's because we've not added the link for the author so we're going to add a plugin link and an author link here so we'll enter here and then we'll say plugin URI so the plugin universal identifier is got here so we'll add a link this link to my blog and I'll have it as the plugin URI if I save this reload here you'll see that we now have visit the plugin site and it's linkable so I'll duplicate this and instead here we shall say author URI and when we save this you'll see that we have take a press actually showing up here now the other thing that we need to add is this small description that's showing up here all we need to do is add a description and we'll say this plugin adds extra fees to WooCommerce or you can say this plugin adds all my functionality that I pick from outer space or wherever it is and then I add it here so when we save this come back here and reload you'll see that we actually have this showing up here now that's all you need to have your plugin active that's all you need to add more functions to your particular website and so on so if you get tired of actually the particular function all you need to do is come back deactivate this and when you come back to your page you'll see that you no longer have the solar price so that's how you do it I would encourage you to open up a different plugin for the different functionalities because of this simple turn on and off switch that you have here in contrast to you actually using something like the functions .php because what happens when I use my functions .php file and then I change the theme let's try that so we'll go back for our wp content go to our themes 2019 we had our functions .php here let's go all the way to the bottom I'm just going to copy this code here and then paste it in our functions I'll make some changes here so that you can see that this is actually coming in from the functions .php so if I reload here you'll see that we have solder and the price is increased in comparison to before now if I change my theme if I go to themes here and then I change to another theme let's say 2017 and activate it if I reload this you'll actually see that we lose our function here because it's not in the functions .php of the the current thing that you're working so that's the disadvantage of having this code inside your functions .php but if you had it in the plugin so we'll go back to our plugins installed if the plugin was active and you reload you'll see that you will have your solder price showing up here and even if I went back to the themes and changed inside another theme let's say I reactivated my 2019 and then reloaded you'll actually see that we have our solder price showing up here so that's why I would advise you to actually use a plugin in contrast to having your code inside your php functions file so thank you for watching this video if you enjoyed it if you got some new material for

I chose My Way because, first of all, this show, since the beginning, was supposed to travel to the Brooklyn Museum. So it was a collaboration between Pompidou Centre and Brooklyn, so it had to be an international title to be understood in different countries. Everybody knew My Way, so it was very easy to connect with the sort of a little bit romantic also feeling what I want people to have when they enter the show. So this piece is made of 5,000 bricks made in India, each blown by the glassblowers and put in a pile like the piles you can see in India. So because they don't have a lot of money, they collect the bricks, they put them together in their garden, and when they have enough bricks, they build their house. And I was very impressed by all those piles of bricks all around the road waiting to be houses. So I decided to make a big pile and to cover it by necklaces like in some fairy tales. But by the way what is very important for me, it's also an homage for me to the event of Stonewall in New York in the 60s where the first gay rights happened. So for me, that's why also it's called precious Stonewall. This idea of working on an iconic form from America, the wagon, to transform this wagon of pain and hope into something like fairy tales.  And I think it's a little bit the symbol of this show, it's a trip. So this is really one of the moving pieces you can find in the show.
