My talk is not about skyscrapers, however. I know it's called how to build a skyscraper, but I assure you it's not about skyscrapers. What I did think was really interesting is, you know, because everybody, when they give a talk, the first thing they do is go to Wikipedia and look up whatever they can find about the topic, right? I think this is interesting. The Wikipedia article on skyscraper design and construction says the problems posed in skyscraper design are considered among the most complex encountered, given the balances required between economics, engineering, and construction management. I know some things that are similar in that. So, without further ado, let's talk about our first skyscraper. Equitable life building in New York in 1870, it was the tallest in the world for about 14 years. It was seven stories tall, which is funny when you think in terms of skyscrapers today. It had been built as fireproof, which is important for reasons we'll discuss later. It had tenants like bankers and lawyers. It even had an exclusive lawyer's club where all the lawyers could hang out. And the basement housed safes and vaults that were filled with several billions, and I did say billions in 1870, of securities, stocks, and bonds. It was basically the center of most of the wealth of the New York financial district, and it showed. I mean, this place was gorgeous. It was a beautiful building. The architecture is just amazing. It had one important problem. Can you spot it in this photo? There were stairs.  So, that's a problem. Thankfully, this problem had a solution. There was a man named Elisha Otis who was a tinkerer. He was really the kind of person you think of when you say someone was an inventor. He was always tinkering with something, and his sons were the same. And in 1851, at age 40, he was the manager of an abandoned sawmill that he was converting into a bed frame factory. And while cleaning up, he was wondering how he could get all the old debris from the floor to the upper levels. Now, elevators existed at this point, but they did have one really important fatal, literally, flaw. If the rope cut on the elevator, then anything on it was dead or broken because the elevator just fell down. Elisha Otis designed a safety elevator. At that time, he was calling, I believe, a safety hoist, and it wouldn't fall to the ground if it broke. He had this cool mechanism here that I got the arrow pointing to where the spring-loaded mechanism so that when the rope was cut, if the rope was cut, spring would release the tension. It would push these kind of fins out into these teeth that you see on the side of the elevator shaft there, and it would keep the elevator from falling more than maybe a meter. So he didn't think much of this. He didn't patent it. He didn't ask his superiors to give him a bonus for it. He didn't even try to sell it. Three years later, the bed frame business was not booming, and he was looking to try something new, and so he formed a company to sell the elevators. He got no business at all, no orders at all for several months. And then came the 1854 New York World's Fair, and he had a really great opportunity to demonstrate the elevator in a dramatic way. By the way, I just got to point out, that guy, now, this is a pencil drawing. That guy in the bottom right, I'd like to think he's kind of the world's first photo bomb. I'm like, hey, look at me. It's a pencil drawing. So either he posed for a really long time or the artist took the time to, anyway. So he did this demonstration, and he had somebody cut the rope, and he did not fall to his death, which was very impressive at the time for all the people there. That guy didn't, he missed it. He looked the other way. Everybody else was impressed. And so the thing is, elevators ran on steam engines in that day, so someone had to keep them constantly fueled, and so this was a huge development. Later they would be improved to run on electricity. So the first takeaway that I want you to get is that higher is better, but only if you're able to move up and down easily. Previously, the lowest floors of buildings were the most desirable, because nobody wanted to climb stairs. So if you owned a building, you would hold the top floors for yourself and rent out the lower floors because you could get higher rents. So a safe means to travel easily to and from the highest floors, the ones with the most light and the fresh air and the distance from the noise are up top. So they were where people wanted to be. And so a solution that seems unremarkable to you might just change everything for others. So share what you build. Think about this though, I mean it really did flip the real estate market at that time on its head. Literally turned it upside down. Also if a failure occurs, don't let people fall all the way down. In the best case, you're going to end up with tenants who are dazed and confused. And when they come to their senses, they're going to be looking for a new place to rent.  Also bad. So Cafe Sauvron. In January 1912, this is a really kind of swanky cafe, fancy cafe. This is the bar area that existed in the Equitable Building. January 1912, just after 5 a.m., the wind is howling. It's nearly 64 kilometers per hour. It gusts up to 109 kilometers per hour. It was already below freezing outside. This was making things even colder. Phillip O'Brien at the time was the timekeeper, sort of a night watchman for the building. He started his day by lighting the gas in his small office. And he threw the still lit match into the garbage can. He thinks, according to this article, it came out a couple of days later, but what happened next is going to tell the tale. So by 5.18 a.m., the office was engulfed in flames. The flames spread to the elevators, the dumbwaiter systems, and within minutes, the entire Equitable Building was on fire. The fire department arrived, but the water was freezing on the building as they tried to put out the flames. And so the fireproof building that had billions of dollars in its basement was utterly ruined. One of the things you should know from this is that you should never underestimate the power of people to ruin your beautiful thing. It's good to test your claims. But again, this talk is not about skyscrapers. The next skyscraper that we want to talk about is the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, Illinois, 1885. The architect on this project was William LaBarre and Jenny. And he built this building to be 43 meters tall. It was considered by most the father of the skyscraper. The Equitable Building didn't meet certain criteria that architects consider necessary for it to be a skyscraper. It was the tallest in the world until 1889. And the thing that was unique about this building is that it was built with cast iron columns and rolled iron beams that formed a framework for the building up to the sixth floor. They used steel beams in the floors above six up to the tenth floor. Now the majority of the curtain wall, what they call a curtain wall in skyscrapers, it's literally all of the masonry that you see there, all of the stone that you see there is hanging from the steel and iron frame. And this was critical for a skyscraper to be considered a skyscraper. The majority of the curtain wall was hung from the frame in this case, not 100%. We'll talk about that in a minute. So this made the building drastically lighter, like one third the weight of a stone building. And the rumor has it that the way that this occurred was that William LaBear and Jenny left work early one day and he came home, his wife was startled, thought maybe he was ill and she jumped up to greet him and she set this heavy book on a bird cage and inspiration struck and since this is the 1800s I'm sure this is exactly how Jenny said it if so frail a frame of wire would sustain so great a weight without yielding would not a cage of iron or steel serve as a frame for a building? I think that's how he said it pretty much so seek inspiration in unexpected places he got the idea from a bird cage and it changed the way people were building now the funny thing about this is it was very controversial at the time because if you were a New Yorker you did not call the home insurance building built in Chicago the first skyscraper if you were a Chicagoan on the other hand you sure did and so this idea that not 100% of the masonry was hung from the frame and so that wasn't really accurate some of the load was borne by this stone so pro tip, haters gonna hate don't let that stop you from building but here are these people in Chicago building this awesome building on an iron and steel framework and it's clearly a technical accomplishment it's importantly serving the needs of people who occupy it and yet it's easier to come along afterwards and just debate how much of an accomplishment it really was this guy does not look happy this is Leroy Buffington he claims he had the same idea for this steel and iron frame back in 1881 he applied for a patent in 87 was awarded it in May of 88 and he actually started a company called the iron building company specifically to pursue lawsuits we don't know anything about that so here's the problem this guy's mail is early as 1797 in Shrewsbury that used iron in its framing not completely to load bearer or anything like that but it was pretty obviously prior art lesson here, patent troll is gonna patent troll but again this talk is not about skyscrapers next skyscraper we're gonna talk about is the Manatnok building in Chicago as well two brothers named Peter and Shepard Brooks Peter is the money guy you can tell he's the money guy because people made paintings of him and he has a wonderful mustache they believe Chicago was gonna be the largest city in the US and they hired this O&F Aldous guy to manage their property investments now Peter only ever visited Chicago once his brother Shepard never visited Chicago but they seemed to feel that Chicago was gonna be the place to be they just didn't wanna be there they had an Aldous to keep them informed they hired an architecture firm Burnham and Root was very cleverly named because of Daniel Burnham and John Root being the guys who ran it to design the building and so Manatnok building's first design was in 1885 it was only 13 stories tall it had this kind of immaculate Egyptian inspired architecture you see these kind of ornaments on the top of the building all Egyptian themed now Peter Brooks was known for his stinginess and his preference for simplicity but Root was a very creative guy Burnham was sort of the business guy Root was the creative guy Brooks insisted the architects refrain from elaborate ornamentation in fact he didn't want any protrusions at all from the building because they just created places for pigeons to nest apparently Brooks had a problem with pigeons so when Root went on vacation Burnham had another draftsman create a very simple drawing and you know initially Root was very unhappy about this but later he threw himself into the design declaring that the heavy lines of an Egyptian pyramid had captured his imagination and he would throw the thing up without a single ornament so a lesson from this is that we should learn to embrace constraints because they're going to be everywhere all the time so we may as well learn to work within them now the changed sketch in 1889 Aldous had actually talked Brooks into a little bit of protrusion there you can see these kind of areas where the windows come out on the front of the building to increase rentable space and in fact the entire height of the building was calculated by determining how high we could feasibly make the building while still having sufficient space to rent due to wall thickness because with this kind of a building where the masonry is actually holding up the walls the walls get thicker as you go down and down at the bottom of the walls so you can imagine this cuts in on the usable space of the building Chicago had really soft soil and they had built what they thought was a pretty ingenious raft system to sort of distribute the load of the building so that it would not sink into the soil the building ended up being 66 meters tall that's 17 stories including the attic and it was the tallest of any commercial structure at the time it's still the tallest commercial iron frame building with a load bearing on the exterior masonry wall now the building was designed to settle about 20 centimeters but by 1905 it had settled that much and quite a bit more and so they had to reconstruct the first floor by 1948 it had settled over half a meter into the ground and you actually they had to have built a step down so that you could get into the building because it was sinking and surprise, surprise in 1967 this article says it is still sinking it's found to be sinking or now they know again apparently if your only concern is profitability do not be surprised when you start sinking profitability is one important factor to consider but it can't be the only one but again this talk is not about skyscrapers the fuller flat iron building was an interesting skyscraper in New York built in 1902 Daniel Burnham had still been involved in the design of this building but his partner John Groot actually passed away during the construction of the monatonic so he brought on Frederick Dinkleburg who has an awesome name Dinkleburg I like it to design the fuller flat iron this is the fuller flat iron it's 87 meters tall it was originally supposed to be just named the fuller building after another architect that had recently been deceased, George A. Fuller but locals insisted on calling it the flat iron now I assume this had something to do with the construction of the building but it didn't if you look at the shape of the building it actually resembles an iron a closed iron and they called them flat irons in the day and so they actually named it because it looked like a flat iron and at the tip that front tip of the building there was only 2 meters wide which necessitated some adjustments in that we just talked about how the monatonic building had to be 2 meters wide at the walls at the base of the building well, that's not going to fly whenever the entire tip of your building is only that wide you're going to lose way too much space and so you can see, here's a view present day from one of those corner offices it was actually not close to that narrow or to that wide of a wall you have very narrow walls there they're definitely not 2 meters thick so how did they actually accomplish that the space that you have to work with should influence how you build and of course if you're going to have a building it's better to finish the building than to have half of a building so choose the right materials for the job in this case it wasn't stone, it was steel so if you take a look at this steel frame as it's going up you might not be surprised to hear that the locals were actually calling the building Burnham's Folly they were literally taking bets and how far the building's debris would actually spread after the building blew over when the wind hit it and it looks like that except here's the thing, Corden Purdy is an engineer that lived in the time and was involved in more skyscrapers than just about anyone else during this period of time he had designed this bracing system that was tested to withstand four times the amount of wind that the Flatiron was ever going to see so during a 96 kilometer per hour windstorm that hit soon after the first tenants moved in you couldn't feel the slightest vibration in the building and in fact one tenant claimed that not even the filament in the light bulb above his desk would quiver the tip here is that testing makes it possible to be confident about what we build even while others aren't but again, this talk is not about skyscrapers in 1930 two buildings went up very rapidly, I think they both opened about a month apart Forty Wall Street and the Chrysler building the two architects involved in these two buildings were H. Craig Severance and William Van Allen now Severance and Van Allen had been partners at another firm in previous time and then they went into business together they were very very different personalities Van Allen was the type of guy who preferred to spend his time with other architects debate the finer points of design he was definitely an artist and Severance on the other hand was a business guy he spent time with the business folks drumming up sales and humility was not his strong point he had no particular passion for architecture as art and he could have been a doctor or a lawyer, he had done them all equally well as far as he was concerned so it's interesting then that even though he kind of wasn't that passionate about it he got very offended when Van Allen would regularly receive praise for the buildings that were designed because he was the artist he felt responsible as well because without the connections that Severance had gotten the buildings would never have gotten commissioned to begin with their partnership, needless to say did not last very long, it ended very badly on the left we have Forty Wall Street it's currently known as the Trump building back then it was known as the Bank of Manhattan Trust building and on the right we have the Chrysler building today so Severance had assembled a team he had a dream team consisting of his associate Yasuo Matsui and consulting architect Shreve and Lam during the design of Forty Wall Street Walter Chrysler the guy who ran a motor company, he builds cars had the building designed for his car company but he paid for it himself out of his own pocket so his children could inherit the building he was obsessed with every detail of the building that he would later describe as a monument to me so the buildings were announced only a month apart, you'll see the Chrysler building was announced in March of 1929 and Forty Wall Street was announced in April of 1929 you'll also notice that through no coincidence Severance won up his former partner by announcing a higher height taller building to be the world's tallest and this started off a race in October of 1929 Severance visited the site of his construction and he could already tell at this point that they were building higher than they had originally claimed the Chrysler building was not going to be ending at 246 meters it was going to get taller than that but their building had slowed because they were putting that dome that you saw at the top of the building on and they could only go so much further before it would have to top out and so he felt pretty confident that he was going to win the race but Chrysler had the press announcing that the steelwork was complete on the Chrysler building even though it really wasn't making the Chrysler building just barely the tallest in the world at the time it was 159 meters so 40 Wall Street was catching up not done yet Chrysler building was winding down but they were announcing that they were the tallest now Severance had already put in motion plans to build higher than announced so he wasn't really worried the month though was filled with announcements from all manner of people that were claiming that they were going to build the world's tallest it was kind of a great time to get some free press by announcing you were going to build a giant building you did it, you just got your face in the newspaper Van Allen was silent the entire time because he, Chrysler and a few select others knew that they were building way higher than anyone actually thought they were building so in the third week of October Severance heard about an 18 meter flagpole that had been spotted at the Chrysler building and so he decides well he's not going to beat me by a few meters by putting a flagpole on the top of his building so he raised the plans for his building Severance is a business guy I'm going to give you a clarification for this at this point, this is strictly ego the article hits on October 18 about the skyscraper race being one and the Bank of Manhattan building is one now this has happened because Severance now has leaked information that he has changed the plans he's going to be at 282 meters while the Chrysler building would top out at 276 meters including this flagpole that Severance had heard about only it wasn't a flagpole the flagpole was one part of a 56 meter spire that Van Allen had been calling the Vertex he had built it offsite in five pieces and shipped each piece to the building separately, hoisted them into the upper floors and slid them down into the upper floors where they had changed the floor plans subtly to allow them to partially assemble these pieces inside the building where no one could see on October 23rd they hoisted the base up they riveted the rest of the pieces in the place within 90 minutes and Van Allen and Chrysler went to sleep that night knowing that their skyscraper was the tallest in the world but the best part about it is that no one actually noticed when they raised it up I mean the building wasn't all shiny and finished it was just kind of bare steel and so everybody just assumed it was a large crane or something at the top of the building they didn't know what it was and so they worked to keep it that way they didn't want severance to change its plans again so they're just like it's up there we know we won you know it's okay and so the article comes out on November 12th that the world's tallest building raises the stars and stripes to the New York heavens only the article wasn't about the Chrysler building it was about 40 Wall Street and so about four days later some kind of no-name building trade report wrote up an article that said that the Chrysler building was over 72 meters taller than anyone actually thought so the final numbers here 319.5 meters for the Chrysler building versus 282.5 for 40 Wall Street they both cost in the neighborhood of 13 to 14 million to build naturally Chrysler is a little taller Chrysler is a little richer he built a little higher and spent a little more the lesson here is that big buildings are expensive and big egos are even more expensive think for a moment about how much extra expense was incurred on these buildings just because of these two guys grudge against one another and the worst part about it is that after the work was finished Chrysler refused to pay Van Allen for the work there was a 6% standard design fee upon completion this would have been in that time in the 1930s it's $840,000 of 1930s money that's good money that he was owed but because he hadn't entered into a contract when he received the commission to build the Chrysler building Van Allen actually had to sue to get paid and it basically ended his career so a trade magazine at the time said that this case should be a lesson you know not to let your artistic mind win out over your business mind another pro tip heights that you have yet to reach seem far more impressive than they look once you're up there Chrysler would have paid anything to win the race until he actually won it at that point he was like see you but again this talk is not about skyscrapers the empire state building is an interesting skyscraper it was finished in 1931 in New York it was built on the site of the Waldorf Astoria hotel which had been purchased in 1929 and there were rumors about who was going to take it over Al Smith was the former New York governor who ran against Herbert Hoover in 1928 for the presidency of the United States after Raskov John J. Raskov ran his campaign he invited Raskov to take on the chair of the Democratic National Convention at the time now Raskov was VP of finance for General Motors who you might note is a competitor to Chrysler at the time until 1928 but then he had to resign because Alfred Sloan who was also on the board was a supporter of President Hoover and said that Raskov being on the DNC would be a conflict of interest he couldn't be there and also in industry at the same time so Raskov said fine he sold all of his GM stock to finance a building and he made Al Smith the president just not of the nation of a company called Empire State Company Al Smith was a politician after all and so he had a flair for the dramatic and this is how he actually announced his involvement as the president of Empire State Company and that they would and announced that they would be demolishing the Waldorf Astoria and that they were going to raise an 80 story skyscraper the Empire State Building which would be the tallest in the world remember this is around the same time that everyone and their brother was saying they were going to build a skyscraper so nobody really knew whether to take them seriously remember these guys Richmond Shreve and William Lamb were on the slide of the Severance Dream Team a while back they actually at the same time that they were working on 40 Wall Street with Severance based on my math anyway they had to know how tall these guys were building and in October 2nd 1929 Lamb was in a meeting with some of the wealthiest men in New York having already built a scale model of the new skyscraper the Empire State Building this is before they had even finished building 40 Wall Street so you do the math on that demolition of the Waldorf Astoria had already begun by this point they had brought on Arthur Harmon as a third partner in their firm for this particular engagement now one of the things about Lamb was that he was artistic just like Van Allen and his partnership with Shreve was not terribly different than Van Allen's failed partnership with Severance but he was also a pragmatist and so there were certain constraints that he allowed to define sort of how the building had to be in particular the characteristics of the design were determined by it needing to have an exterior limestone and a completion date a hard deadline when given a tight deadline get ready to make concessions now the initial drawings for this building was created in two weeks and a final design was reached in four instead of designing the floor plan at the bottom and working up as often was the case Shreve Lamb and Harmon set a standard for light in the interiors how much light natural light they wanted and they designed from the top down placing emphasis on how pleasant it would be to work in the spaces and so that was a really unique way to approach it and it was partially because Lamb had decided that even when he was going to make concessions he wanted to make sure that there was a pleasant experience for those who mattered lighting, ventilation, other things were not things to be sacrificed just because of the timeline now who are the people who matter well they're the occupants of the building they're people like him he's a maintenance man and if you're not able to maintain the building it's not going to be good for anyone for long occupants can come in all shapes and sizes maybe this guy too but who it definitely wasn't being built for is this guy now just because someone is big, strong loud and they want to use your work to raise themselves higher that doesn't mean you should put their needs above the greater good I'm glad you like that so but one of the reasons that the building's design took shape so quickly is that they were able to use parts of designs for other buildings this is the Reynolds building in Winston Salem, North Carolina it was designed by Shreve and Lamb previously this is the Carew Tower I may be mispronouncing that in Cincinnati, Ohio it was designed by another firm entirely Shreve and Lamb had nothing to do with them but if you take a look at the scale models of the two buildings on the left you can see the similarity in design to the one on the right you can see how they were inspired and in some cases copied wholesale just scaled up take away here is to reuse previous work and even if it's not originally yours that's okay so on November 18th 1929 Al Smith had just announced the purchase of land adjacent to the wall door for Astoria which everyone of course assumed they're going to be building bigger they need a bigger foundation at the time whenever the crest tracked him down said the determination of the height of the building will be based on the sound development of usable space as we perceive the plans the owners will be in a better position to determine what the height of the building is to be now I think he could have had a career in politics as well actually that's a very good non-answer he's very keen to kind of imply oh no, we're only going to build as high as we need for practical reasons we have no desire to be the highest so the next day Al Smith announced Raskov wanted to add more height you have to understand there was a trade-off here if they added more height the architects did not want this to happen because it meant that tenants were going to have to change elevators they literally couldn't ride the same elevator all the way up to the top they would have to get out go to another elevator to reach their offices Raskov didn't care because he wanted to be the highest and so Smith announces we're going to make practical considerations the important part that five more floors were going to be added it would bring the total to 85 stories and 335 meters which is actually an overestimate by about 15 meters but it wasn't going to matter anyway so John Raskov sitting in his office is wondering how can he add more height to the building he's looking at this plaster model the architects have given him like every client ever in the history of the world he decided he knew how to solve the problem he reportedly said now he didn't mean a literal hat he meant a mooring post for Zeppelins he wanted to let Zeppelins dock at the top of the Empire State Building and let passengers and we laugh now right he was serious let passengers off at the top of the building it would be better than the Chrysler building's spire because this had a purpose a practical purpose but it would need another 61 meters and it was true to Shreve's earlier claims they were only going to build higher based on the sound development of usable space so Al Smith a bit later announces building with an eye to the future we've determined to build a mooring tower 261 meters high on top of the Empire State Building and that the Zeppelin would be this is no coincidence by the way that he's mentioning how highly up the Zeppelin will be anchored he knows what he's doing he knows the quality of docking a Zeppelin in the winds of New York City at that height or what would happen when the Zeppelin needed to maintain an even keel and dumped over 100 kilos of water ballast on the streets below on the people Raskov didn't have any time for that stuff nobody got time for that so look lesson is people can rationalize just about any decision but that does not excuse you from doing your best to talk them out of it this plan was going to add $750,000 to the cost of the building it was obsessed with flight at the time this was not something the architects were ever going to win on Raskov and Smith were determined they were going to build this thing and this frustrated Shreve at this point he's already neck deep in the project now with the designs completed it was time to start building do you notice something about building building they designed the building from the top down but when it came time to build oddly enough you still have to build from the bottom up right now the definition of bottom might change for you depending on what you're building and where you're building and what you're building on but the only way to make sure the structure is going to stand is to build it on something that's standing but it's important to be honest with yourself for instance if you want to build an entire ecosystem complete with a house on top of a building while considering the bottom, your bottom the top of someone else's building then don't complain when the bottom gets yanked out from under you this guy had to demolish his mountain villa because he didn't have any permits to build up there but you know the real heroes of any kind of building construction especially in this area where the steel workers they put in amazing work to make this happen construction started on March 17th 1930 and proceeded for about 14 months the building rose at a rate of four and a half stories per week which was a record speed and if you take a look at some of the working conditions these folks worked in they weren't always they were working very very quickly they weren't always necessarily working the most safely and you know sure they got to break for lunch but they didn't always get to leave the office now to be fair this is actually from another building construction but I couldn't pass it up anyway the building opened on May 1st 1931 14 months less than 14 months after construction began and it would be the world record for the tallest skyscraper for almost 40 years but there were five lives lost during the construction of that construction of that building and you can see why I mean it was pretty death-defying the stuff that they were doing and you know speed might be important but life is far more important even one life lost was too many but again this talk is not about skyscrapers United Nations headquarters in New York in 1952 155 meters tall and if you take a look one of the things interesting about this actually by the way is it was constructed from 1948 to 1952 a period of four years which tells you something about how quickly the Empire State Building was able to go up you notice anything about the building though? it's all windows they wanted a lot of light so they said okay let's make the whole front of the building windows and they were all sealed windows and so the you know greenhouses do that as well and the problem is that with light comes heat and unless you're building a greenhouse you don't want the heat you just want the light it doesn't matter how pretty your building is if nobody can tolerate being inside it the Sackett-Williams printing company in Brooklyn had a problem that their paper was getting too damp and it was wrinkling and when they would print on the paper then of course the printing would come off and so a guy by the name of Willis Carrier had developed a solution in 1902 that worked by blowing air over a set of coils filled with coolant its purpose wasn't to cool the air at that point it was really more about regulating humidity but it happened to do both he patented under the unremarkable name of apparatus for treating air but later we came to know this as air conditioning now the first space to use a similar cooling method for actual people as opposed to paper was used in the New York Stock Exchange in 1903 for what should be obvious reasons but it was designed by a guy by the name of Alfred Wolf these things were expensive though this one was 300 short tons so it was big Carrier in 1922 had improved his original design with a centrifugal chiller which was much simpler and I bet they have fun captioning that come to think of it centrifugal anyway it was much simpler and it allowed for increased reliability for large-scale air conditioning without this a building like the UNHQ couldn't have existed so engineering cool things is great but engineering cool things that people can actually use is even better but this talk is not about skyscrapers the Willis Tower which is sometimes referred to as the Sears Tower and it was at the time of construction was built in Chicago, Illinois finished in 1973 Fazlour Rahman Khan is the structural engineer tasked with building that office complex for Sears it was going to house everybody in Chicago that worked for Sears Robot and Company it was going to have to be an extremely tall building Chicago as you may have heard is the windy city Gus from Lake Michigan can batter the city with winds up to 80 kilometers per hour so the taller a steel skeleton building gets the more susceptible it is to bending in high winds that swaying motion creates a sensation not unlike being on a ship you can actually get seasick on top of a building and in the past Khan had developed something called a tube structural system and I know this doesn't look like much of a tube but it was and at least in theory and what it basically did was take this steel skeleton that we had been building with all this time and he turned it into an exoskeleton and it provided for much better resistance against wind and shear and it reduced the building's weight as well and opened up more floor space because now you didn't have these columns going through the center of your building structure you had that all around the edges unlike Mr. Lobster here however whose exoskeleton isn't winning in many beauty contests Khan's exoskeletons allowed much more flexibility in design some of the iterations on his work later resulted in some truly almost sculpture-like buildings the point I want you to take away here is that the higher you go the windier it gets so you'd better develop a thick shell now the Sears Tower was the first building to use Khan's bundled tube structure and it's just what it sounds like a bunch of tubes a bunch of buildings essentially nine separate buildings that were more or less bound together into one building it ended up being 527 meters tall at the very tip and 442 meters tall at its roof even with wind speeds over 90 kilometers per hour the top floor of the Sears Tower sways only 15 centimeters point I want you to take away here is sometimes multiple small buildings are better than one large building but again this talk is not about skyscrapers Taipei 101 in 2004 went up it was the tallest building at the time the interesting thing about Taipei is that it sits near the Pacific Ring of Fire which is the most seismically active area on earth it gets hit by an earthquake roughly twice a year and earthquakes affect a building much much different compared to wind a much stronger effect at the base of a building for an earthquake in fact easy for an earthquake to break a large building so it's pretty important to be able to test various types of structures and one way that they do this is they build spaghetti models it turns out spaghetti models steal very nicely it similarly bends, it similarly breaks under certain kinds of behavior under load and even though well you'll see so this is how we would test it's an earthquake simulator look the structure looks pretty intact but if this had been a real building that top floor would have fallen down and killed everyone inside this is what we call in the industry a catastrophic failure now the interesting thing about catastrophic failure is that the only way to assure a lack of failure is to test for all modes of failure in both the laboratory and the real world but the only way to know of all modes of failure is to learn from previous failures see a problem here so basically no engineer can absolutely be sure that their structure is going to stand against all loads that could cause failure they just set a margin that is acceptably unlikely next time you're on the 30th floor of a building someone decided the chance of failure is acceptably unlikely so test to ensure catastrophic failure is acceptably unlikely and please for God's sake set a high bar for acceptable the designers of type A101 made it rigid where it had to be flexible where it could afford to be what they did is they had these tubes these steel tubes the yellow ones there and these were columns that went the entire length of the building they had eight mega columns that were filled with poured concrete very very high density and every eight floors they had trusses that acted like giant rubber bands around these these poles so that the rest of the building could kind of move flexibly in March of 2002 a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit type A while they were still constructing and it destroyed many smaller buildings and toppled two cranes from the top of the building but the construction was able to resume after an inspection showed no structural damage that happened to the building it wasn't even finished yet it was already standing up against a 6.8 magnitude earthquake the engineers said that in an earthquake it's the safest place in town the pro tip here rigid where you have to be flexible where you can afford to be and you'd be surprised how flexible you can get away with now one other thing they did here is they had this giant tuned mass damper they had two more this is the biggest one from the 92nd to the 87th floor it's suspended and the way this thing works is that it's hung from these big cables and it has these hydraulic attachments arms so that they damp the movement so as the building is swaying this is sort of countering that and it's easier if you actually look at it here's during a recent typhoon what's actually happening and you can see the hydraulics kind of controlling for that that sway and it helps make it so that you don't get deathly ill on the top of the building swaying back and forth in the wind takeaway here is that when the winds pick up it's good to have someone big at the top pulling for you but again this talk is not about skyscrapers last skyscraper we're running a little over so I'll try to make this quick Burj Khalifa Dubai in the UAE was completed in 2010 everything we've learned about so far has been refined and applied to make this building even possible but that's not what I really want to talk about on September 11th 2001 the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists and some people at that point in time were saying that no super tall building was ever going to be built again because it was too attractive a target and too dangerous because the problem becomes one of evacuation in an evacuation situation stairs are the only option and walking downstairs as you might not know is actually almost as difficult as walking up them and if you have 70 80 100 story building how do people get to safety well the Burj Khalifa was 828 meters tall this is twice the height of the former one world trade center that had been destroyed they needed a plan to ensure the safety of people that were inside now it has a naturally fire resistant concrete core so that helps but even so as you build higher and higher more and more people need to walk further to get to safety so how do people get out of the Burj Khalifa in an emergency it isn't enough to give only one option to people in danger leave and get out right what they actually did was they created these areas of refuge refuge rooms on mechanical floors throughout the building roughly every 25 floors or so and they're built from layers of reinforced concrete and fireproof sheeting and they can actually withstand the heat of a fire for two hours take away here is create safe spaces they need to be accessible as well and this is they're every so often through the building they're accessible you can't make them hard to reach each room had a dedicated supply of air pumped through fire resistant pipes if people room to breathe it's not normally by the way fire that kills somebody in a situation like this but smoke inhalation and so you can see here we actually have and the stairwell here that you have to get to the area of refuge can become filled with smoke if it's filled with smoke then that room is no good but there are actually sensors all throughout the building if something activates a fire detector heat sensor or water sprinkler high powered fans can actually push the smoke they bring air from the outside and they force air in and pressurize the entire stairwell so that it pushes the smoke out so eliminate toxic elements near buildings of course none of this is a substitute for rescue workers coming to the aid of those in the refuge rooms it's not their job to just save themselves while they're trapped up there somebody needs to help them so help each other especially those who aren't in a position to help themselves because people aren't expendable thank you this has not been a talk about skyscrapers


Hello everyone, this is about reducing carbon footprint. CO2 is emitted by combustion of fossil fuel and that has detrimental effects. And you can see the polar bear has already realised that, the glaciers are melting. There are a lot of consumers and producers of carbon, and for example transport or households. But we can say that more than 50% comes from industry, and we are in particular interested in chemical industry. Now this problem is of course not new. People have done something about it and what you see here, this is the industrial park at BISF. They use the synergetic effects of putting multiple processes together for more than 150 years. So they try to use efficient processes to reduce energy consumption. Things have changed, we have now the Internet of Things, and with the Internet of Things we have new opportunities. People can now access whole networks of machines and the machines can talk to each other. How that is translated is the topic of the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0. And you can see that here machines are talking to each other and that there are models behind a whole industrial process. Now we want to create just that and the question is how? And the first thing you need is a symbolic language representation of everything that you can find in an industrial plant. And for that you need to use semantic web technologies and what you see here was an example of that. You also need mathematical models that are part of this language description. So you pull the mathematics into files that are then available in the cloud and contain knowledge about a physical entity, for example a pump. Of course, these entities constantly broadcast data into the virtual avatar. It's a bit like your hand talking to your brain. And this data is then taken and through mathematical techniques of parameter estimation put into the avatar as a Lego prick. And once you have the Lego prick you can put these Lego pricks together and produce whole networks of industrial entities and you can build walls and houses and depending on that you can investigate specific questions in particular the carbon reduction being more efficient. You can design plants in ways that you were not able before because you can use mathematical optimization techniques for the design. You can also, once you have the design, try to optimize operation. So you can go and see what's the right temperature, what's the right composition to get a specific product and how to run and operate a specific process. And of course imagine in the industrial park there are lots of them and they consume a lot of heat and the heat of course produces CO2 through combustion. You can also, once you have the overall network, use smart grid to optimally control the whole of the industrial park to make use for example of cheap electricity or you can use the smart grid to reduce redundancy of energy production and with that reduce CO2. Now we are now in Singapore looking at a specific place and that's Jurong Island, you see it behind me. This is an island full of chemical plants and petrochemical plants so refineries, the paradise for chemical engineering. And what you see here is the first version of such an avatar a network of avatars that are represented in the internet and are constantly producing what happens in this island. So for example you could modify the smart grid, how it operates and with that saves CO2. Finally of course the question to end with is if you have such a symbolic representation in a virtual industrial park could you transform consumer demands right into the way you run and build industrial parks?


It's been me forever. I've been destroying my competition. I've put training companies out of business.  We're owning the whole space. You know why? Because we know how to truly change people. How many of you have the courage, right?  Right, obviously it wasn't here, and I apologize for that. But I've got something even nicer. Oh my God, you guys are gonna win the lottery. Get everybody stand up on the showroom floor and give it up for these people that just won the lottery. Woo! And you guys are like, I'm not doing that. Cool. No, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. Listen, I can't change, you're not me. I can only control me. My job is to manage me.  Listen, I'm gonna make some real easy for you guys today. I'm gonna teach you guys closes all day long. But if you stay this guy, I can probably only increase your income by 20%. Maybe 50. Okay, but I can't 20 extra income. And that's my goal. My goal is I want guys making seven figures a year. I'm not playing. I don't give it what's possible. I have no limits. The only thing that's not possible is when you say it's not possible. Dude, think about it. Guys, I made 716 grand in 2014. That's not a lot of money. That's not a lot of money. That's nothing, not now. Cause I'm better than I was back in 2014.   No, listen to me. Listen to me. I came from nothing. I respect money. I'm grateful for it, but I'm skilled. And I'm trying to teach it to you guys. And I'm trying to teach you that the skill of getting this guy gone and becoming this person is something that a lot of you guys are gonna get out of here and you're not gonna make happen. And that right there, you're not listening to me. Look, I'm trying to create a movement of the world's most elite sales pros that can close anybody. By the way, lead teams, everything. The problem is businesses stay alive by closing transactions. Does that make sense? Hey guys, what's up? It's Andy. Hey, I wanted to stop the video real quick and show you I just released my brand new book called The Book of Deadly Scripps. You wanna know how to overcome any objection in the world? You wanna know how to literally pick up the phone and every single time you do, create a hot end market buyer who wants to buy a vehicle.  I don't have this book for sale on the website. If you'll shoot me a text, I'll send you the link so you can buy it. Let's crush it and kill it. This book will change your life. It just got released. Let's get back to the video.  I don't care if people are going across the road and buying at other stores, I'm not okay with that. If people are coming in and looking at your furniture and then they're going across the street and looking at the front, I'm not okay with that. I'm just not okay with it, okay? And maybe it wasn't something we said, right? Maybe it's just that you're this person, okay? He works at a dealership where there's two guys that are 50 years old that make 800 grand a year, okay, each. You know what they are? They initiate. They're initiators.  They want you to know that you and them are gonna have a relationship.  This is relational, not transactional. If you guys will live in a relational world instead of transactional, you will be deadly, deadly. And guess what? It's the hardest thing to teach because the leaders don't believe in this. They're so busy. They have so much going on and they're counting their money in this good market right now. Their sales teams are suffering because they don't know how to do. And guess what? When this market shifts and it goes back to really having to be a great salesperson, you're screwed. I won't let you guys be screwed. Listen to me. I love you guys. Every single one of you. You know what I want more than anything? I want you to be in this room right now and I want you to go home and make three or four or five times than you're more than you're making out. You know why? Because you're gonna spend that same amount of time at work anyways.  It's just whether you make the money or not.  I wanna show you something real quick. So can you guys recreate and become this person? Yes or no? Okay, when I said get up and sing happy birthday, only a few of you got up and really sing happy birthday. A couple of you said the words, but you weren't really in it. That's the problem. You can't fake liking people. It's this guy's birthday. He was born on this day. You know, it was Phoenix's birthday. He was born on this day.  So what happens if I go saying happy birthday to somebody and it looks like I'm really not wanting them to have a good birthday? It's just, do you guys get it? How many times do you guys do things and just go through the motions because you're just numb going through life?   Okay, listen to me guys. I'm telling you the truth. Am I lying to you today? Okay, now listen to me.  I'm just telling you.  Okay, where people tell you the truth and they don't lie to you. Hey man, just keep working harder. Yeah? Okay, I'm not okay with that.  I wanna show you guys something real quick. I want everybody to pay attention to this. There's three people you'll decide who you are. Mr. Number One, Mr. Number Two, or Mr. Number Three. And by the way, this is a training ground every day to be this person. You wanna have deep conversations with everybody you're at? When I'm in the airplane, right? You know what I'm doing? I'm talking to everybody. You may say, dude, but I just wanna be alone. I'm sorry. Listen, there's someone else out there that's getting sharper while you're getting duller and you wanna be alone.  And that person, it's been me forever. I've been destroying my competition. I've put training companies out of business.  We're owning the whole space. You know why? Because we know how to truly change people. Does that make sense? Okay, I can take you, I can change you 100%. But you have to wanna change. If you don't wanna change, nothing's gonna change. Nothing. Leaders have to change. You want your teams to change? You gotta change. Okay, the hardest thing for a leader to do is change. You know why? Because they're already a top producer and they're on top. And the hardest thing as a top producer, if you're in this room, is that you think that you've made it. Do you remember when you first started your job, when you first started your company, when you first started or you just started the car business or selling or whatever you did? God, you were so hungry, man. When you're going to get that job, you're like, dude, I'm gonna do whatever it takes, man. I'm gonna outwork everybody here. I promise you, you'll see me your highest achiever. You're starving. Hey, but guess what?  Hey, but listen to me. Here's the goal, is that you guys will know that that fire, okay? Everybody's losing it. Everybody's losing it. How do you keep that fire? You stay training. You be around people that are constantly getting better. Dude, I don't drink. You may say, well, Andy, I don't wanna give up drinking. I know that's why you're gonna get beat. I know, I know, I get it. Okay, Andy, but I do, I know, I get it, I get it. Look, look in the mirror.  Look in the mirror. Look at yourself, naked. That's how hard you are. That's how disciplined you are.  Yeah, it's a here in the truth.  You can start to shift your life and change and be disciplined. So you can take over the world. You guys can all take over the world.


Hey, what's going on guys? My name is Mark. Oh, let's just go back for a second hold on hold on Right, okay, cool Yeah, my is what and I like to day trade swing trade that sort of thing Um, if you're familiar with the channel, so we already know that and I just thought I'd go through these stocks that I'm looking at for the week and also So it's I'm already invested in right now because it is It's Wednesday around it's three minutes past 12 much when to get this video done Do you have a bad trade in there that I'm not super happy with I don't really know why I bought in So depending on how that plays out. I'll probably look to close that So that's a positive way to start it right if you see my Hertz video about the loss It's kind of got similar characteristics to that so not good. Not good. Not good But yeah, so we'll we'll just go ahead and we'll start breaking down So we'll start with the open positions that I got and also first of all, by the way Just kind of want to say This isn't like me recommending these stocks, right? This is like an account or this helps me With my own thought processes as to why I'm buying stocks and that sort of thing and obviously we're all here to kind of help each Other there's been some stocks From you guys that have helped me write and I've made profits over them And I know that a couple of you have messaged me and saying those stocks that I've said that have helped you Right, so it's just about helping each other. This isn't me sitting here saying that oh my god I'm let me look into my my crystal board see what stocks are going up over the next week, right? Because there's a guy that's on my excuse my language, right?  I am. I know everything It's just supposed to be a community where we all help each other And yeah, like I'm and I just kind of put it all in one place for everyone, right? So the things that we talk about if you say hey, my look at this stuff. What do you think? I'll give my opinion doesn't mean I'm right doesn't mean you're wrong and vice versa. So anyway, let's get that get off my chest, right? so Let's start with the bad one, right? Let's get a out of the way. So Someone asked me about a you see I've put my stuff lost pretty tight on it nor I'll tell you why right so first of all This horizontal pattern right is why I Why it kind of caught my attention you see it consistently been hitting between kind of 65 a 7 and 69 73 in my opinion right that that's a support resistance that I see And you can see that it's just broken above this support here 65 57 so if you see my hurts video, you know, we're in prematurely again, right? So I've bought in on the pullback before waiting for the push above 66 something like that. So what I should do is set alert for 66 And know that this pullback has validated the EMA and we're gonna get this this upward trend, right? That's what I should have done. We're in a little bit early. You can see we're down to 7% time sensors like 0.7% like real terms This is what it's lost another thing that I don't like first of all, it's healthcare. I don't really like healthcare companies So you can see all right, so it's a bit full for this full screen Is that really like health companies also if you notice that when it's kind of been on this uptrend It's been above the SMA right historically, right? So when we've got the bounces been above the SMA. If you look here Wow, wow, wow, where have I gone? No, let's get you back in here. Sorry about that. All right, if you look now It's actually trading below the SMA and then since it's been below this SMA, right? So once we've been here, this is at the peak at 74. It's been making lower highs Right and lower lows. So to me in my opinion This looks like it's downtrending from here, right? Can you see that and let me know if you agree if you disagree Or what your thoughts are? I know that obviously had a big sell-off from here Believe that was because earnings right But can you see that it's been on a downtrend before that right? So it's lower highs and then slightly high lows but lower highs and then lower lows again Lower highs pulled back and then we're back at this low low here. So We'll see how this rides out, right? So hopefully we've kind of caught this momentum here And it will at least push to kind of make this lower high so we can get out in the green But I do have my stop loss super tight At 6490 right below this this candle that was prior To the EMA okay, so I hope that will make sense Let me know if that makes sense And if you agree or if you disagree because I know that a lot of people are super interested in a and they're like It probably is a good long-term buyer, but that's not really what I'm interested in I've got my investment accounts for long-term things and that sort of stuff So I do this just to play around and I think day trains a cool skill to have anyway So let's look at another position I Really like this one. I really like the pattern on this and Just kind of how it's been trending right so you can see that it's had a bit of a downtrend for 2017 And it's kind of bottomed out at this price here at 38 and since then it's been on a nice uptrend Can you see how it's got? Higher highs, I'm sorry higher lows, right? So let me just draw that line in So Can you see that right the high lows? High low high low So that's a nice uptrend and then it's kind of been hitting this 45 80 mark Right, and then the the last couple of peaks is pushed above that and then it's reached 47 So there is a potential in my opinion for it to go to 47 again Here it pulled back and I should have waited potentially for the push above like kind of 45 51, right? So that we're fully confirming that this uptrend that's here But because I like this pattern so much and it's a nice uptrend in pattern that SMA is pointing up, right? Or or neutral. It's not curving down like it is with a Then this is something that I'm confident to invest in I'm gonna Potentially add to my position right depending on what what happens when we reach this 45 80 mark It's just something to be aware of because it has it one two three times before So if I if it looks like it's consolidating around here like it did previously Then I'll probably look to maybe close it out solely earlier and not add to this position But if it just kind of breaks through like it has here Then then potentially add to it just depending on how this pullback goes and that sort of thing But yeah, we're just trying to stay green Just kind of doing the spread fees on this one at the moment and the last position I have open It's time Warner X Time Warner X right so you can see that About $20 at the moment So again with time Warner X you can see that it bottomed out here it's broken above the SMA and We got this horizontal pattern between kind of 96 and 92 so one two three four times to hit it and slightly kind of a fifth Time here and we've got the break by the EMA and it pulled back So this time we did follow the rule right that we set for ourselves And I'm gonna make a stock checklist and I'll make a video With it and I'll probably put a download if you guys are interested when you find it helpful I'll do that for you and make a download available, but All right, so we've got the break above the EMA. It's pulled back to the EMA and I waited for a break above 9440 I Believe it was because I wanted it to break above this previous kind of consolidation Which it has here quite aggressively actually so it's pushed right up. You can see it's right on this SMA here So just kind of gonna keep a close eye on it make sure it breaks above this SMA if it breaks and holds above the SMA Then I will Probably add to this right and look to hold this right up to 96 I'm just be careful that it's fallen slightly short before but I think there's can push right up to 96 as long as we Managed to break above the SMA and hold right and then then we'll add to the position potentially Yeah, that's that's one. I think it's nice kind of nice horizontal pattern. I think it's pretty pretty self-explanatory Right, so let's take a look and if I keep looking at because I got my whiteboard in front of me So let's have a look at the stocks for the week. So we got Hertz on there If you see my video about hers is uploaded at the same time as this one, right? My Hertz video is just rendering out and so I've already broken this down not sure If I kind of want to go for this one again if we get the confirmation above the EMA then I'll go for it There's not very much to talk about in this one if you want more on Hertz, then there's different video on that I'm just on my channel Have I spoken about FLS? Am I invested? Let me see. Yes, I have I have all right cool. So I like that STV Let's take a look at STV So again, it had this Kind of ascending pattern above the SMA here, right? Can you see this here for a short period kind of from the Back end of March beginning of April right through to kind of the beginning of May And then it's pushed down at this resistance level here So, oh, sorry, it's support level 219 and then we're just waiting for a break above the EMA and SMA here So I've got well. What have I got my alert set out? 224 I've got my alert set up which seems a bit aggressive, right? So maybe I Yeah, no 224 that seems right So I might set a slightly lower. So it's something like two 223 So, yeah, so I've set my alert here. So I'm just waiting for it to push and hold above the EMA Again, like like I've discussed like a broken record. I'm gonna wait for the pullback And then the push up above to confirm the kind of art pattern uptrend that we're looking for But yeah, not just kind of nice horizontal pattern You can see that it's done it here as well previously and then we seem to support and to push up And it hasn't held above the EMA So Yeah, just a So one that to keep an eye on but the pattern here looks a bit shaky, right? You can see it's broken above the EMA And it's it's not held so probably look for like Important to look for a confirmation on this one, right? But yeah, so An interesting one, right just to kind of have available potentially potential to make some profit on this one, but Just want to make sure that you get all your boxes ticked on that one Or I want to make sure I get all my boxes ticked on this one. I'm a similar thing. So I've got a alert set 56 5680 I think it was Right so We set this alert 5680. That's what I've got my alert out here So but I think these were a couple days ago, right? Maybe set the alert slightly lower Just so we know when we get the breakup of the EMA and just wait for the pull back and then the push up You can see that this has bottomed out here Around I would say this 53 mark and then since then again, it's had this kind of nice uptrend higher highs Higher lows, sorry and higher highs So I'm pretty confident with this once we get the breakup of the EMA We should be good to to get involved in this one. So that's AE Um, so you can see that it's had this downtrend And it's looking to kind of break away from this Um, hey, we've already talking about just talking about spoke about and ctsh is another one. Um, that's kind of Been a bit of uptrend broken below below the SMA here I had a big sell-off So I'm just waiting for the breakup of the EMA here to set an alert like 60 7680 Um, and then wait for the pullback and confirmation on this Um, so you see this kind of been actively trending up for a while Um, or sorry, just kind of been in an uptrend for a while. There's been a bit more volatile Uh in recent times, right? But then it looks like it's found the support kind of 74 And then has the potential to move up to 81. So just wait for that break and be aware of this SMA curling in Apart from that, let's have a look Um, yeah, so I think my favorite one's out. There's probably American um, americorp uh flower serve Time Warner X and this one's okay. Um but just Keep an eye on that I would be interested in know kind of what stocks you guys are looking at in a minute because Um, I feel like I've kind of got a bit of a small pool. I'm looking at at the moment Um, and I don't want to trade things just for the sake of it I want to trade them because actually I think that they're they're good stocks and They're there's a decent potential to make a profit with fairly low risk or as low as it can be so um Would be interested to know what you guys are trading Uh, this week what you've got your eyes on or what you're already actively involved in as well Um, but yeah, so I hope you guys enjoyed this video or Um, found it helpful at all. Um, if you did like the video, then make sure you give it a like Give it a thumbs up subscribe Check out the other videos on the channel that are similar if you're not familiar with anything I've said EMA SMA or anything like that links in the description to that. Uh, and we do have the Two and a half K to 10 K challenge as well. Um, which just took a bit of a sour turn. Oh my god saucy update All right, guys. Thanks for watching and I'll catch you some of the time


Yo, what's going down? Yeah, I got to say some stuff real quick And then we should be good to go Hold on what's going down? What's going down? I know I haven't played a pecs I probably will I Don't know about streaming it. I think I'll probably end up doing a little call-to-do session with Doug on the main channel So But yeah, that's kind of what I have lined up Yeah, I'm glad they brought some old Joe back some old Joe some old Joe. I said some old Joe I can't even talk. I'm glad they bought a small Joe back. I said you're right the first time. What's wrong with me? Man, I gotta see what gun I'm gonna run instead of this. I'm gonna run I'm gonna run the for the perk Make for it.  I'm gonna check the chat in a few. I'm running this one 60 Take our side hand and it was good everybody. Thank y'all for joining in. I'm just setting up my class. I Think that's fine. That's fine.  It was good I'm glad they brought some old Joe back. Yeah, I'm with you Ross on the cross and Joe match If it was to happen take my money big facts. Have you ever been to the WWE live event?

I just didn't know where Well, there you go, that was it I Couldn't cuz I thought he was below me but cuz in my head said it sounded like he was below me So I'm thinking oh, well, he's not down here, but the whole time. He was above me and he had the radar So the heartbeat sensor. So it was like Ah That's just annoying man Hey Ross, have you seen the R2 segment with Brock Lesnar and Paul? Hey, man.

Oh big fact big facts But here's the thing carrying across has been operating more as like a I want to say he's been operating more as like a tweener it was just recently with the whole William regal thing that he turned up his heel persona, but he's more He's more like a tweener to be honest with you in some of the feuds he's been in Because people don't have a problem with him being a champ Like it's like people still you know cheer for him and likes his presence and stuff like that What was the last video game you played?
