NBA 2K22 has a lot of ads, and I do mean a lot of ads. So what would happen if I became 2K's dream customer? Every ad that I see, I have to purchase. This could go catastrophically for my wallet. Drop a like, subscribe to the channel if you're new, and let's get straight into it. Guys, game plan. We have to play games in the city, but I wanna do it in a way where there's no billboards showing. If I see a billboard, bro, it's raps. Boom. Yes. Oh God, I see some billboards. Okay, it has 2K22. It has 2K22. We're good. Give one up to your subscribers. Yeah, you gotta send one out. Oh, you have that, so I have that already. Let me get my drip together.  Whenever I see your fit, honestly, I kind of scream with up to S. You cream? We're gonna go to South Side City Vipers, hypers. I'm not looking at the screen. I don't know what billboards are gonna show, okay? I see an ad for phone service. Dub, dub, dub, dub. Level up in micro seasons, play in earned rewards. Okay, that's not a purchase.  I actually can't play in the city, bro. It's nothing but billboards, dawg. What if one of the dudes has an ad on their court? Dennis, then you gotta buy that, right? Yeah, I would, I would have to buy that. Okay, how do I actually get to the prime facility without hitting a billboard? I'm gonna go to the penthouse. Oh my God, there's ads everywhere. Okay, I already purchased 2K22s. Oh, it's a limit one, it's because we didn't call that out at the beginning. You might have to purchase it a second time, bro. Bro, bro. You sure you didn't say that at the beginning, though? You owe another guy a giveaway. I'm seeing it right now, man, stop. I'm literally looking at a wall while I run towards the prime facility.  Do what you gotta do, man. Okay, I made it to the prime arena safely. And you know what, man? You might be wondering, LH, man, how could you even afford to do something like this? Well, we'll eat and queue that Super Smash. Ad, yup. I bet you weren't expecting to see me here. Detective Agent on the case, letting y'all know this video right here is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. I have some questions for you, buddy. Sit down, why don't you?

It's a shame. Hold on, I'm joining Vans, too, though. Is it gonna pack me up?  Chips Ahoy! Get low to me into the middle! Please, please, it's frozen. The game is frozen. I can't change. I saw Chips Ahoy had. Not only do you have to buy it, you have to eat it. How much does Chips Ahoy go for on Amazon?  Oh, does the warehouse recorder piss? Oh my God, how am I gonna get to destinations, bro? Come, hold my hand. I know a shortcut, come, come, trust me. Yeah, of course I can stop. Y'all have to guide me, please. I'm not, I'm not gonna do this today. I'm looking in the air right now. Oh my God, there's a big-ass ad right there. There's this big-ass ad in the air, bro. I just see an NBA player. I see NBA player. Don't worry, you're gonna have to pay. Get the butt! Get the butt! Get the butt! What do I have to buy? The player card, bro. What is that? A Steve Nash pack? Yep. How much does that go for? VC, you just gotta buy it with VC.  Which court can I play on where it's gonna be less billboard usage? Which one can I play on? There's a billboard in every corner. What you mean? This is 2K. Dude, we have board techs with the ball, man. Yep. Ooh, big whites hit, man. We need those. You have to buy a Tissot watch. What is that, Tissot? What did you see that? At the top of the shot clock. Look at the shot clock at the top. That's not, does that count? Yeah, that counts. If the NBA league pass counts, that counts. Okay, that's true. Oh my God, that did not go well. That's the one thing you're not supposed to do for a tech student under the basket. So I gotta buy a Tissot watch now. Damn. Hopefully Tissot watches aren't too expensive. Ooh, size up, size up. Drive, SU, yuh. That's me. Yuh, stream, up. Let's go, baby. Let's go, baby. We up. I don't remember any gameplay from last year, actually. I don't think about it. I didn't play. Okay, so you uploaded like once a week, but no gameplay. Pack them up, bro. Let's not talk about 2K 21 Vortex. I don't want to be depressed. You know what I'm saying? We're playing 2K 21 Vortex. We're playing like a good game this year, my God, I don't want to ruin it.  What the f***? These watches are expensive. How much are they? That's like $300, $400, bro. Oh, they're like $500, dawg. Hey, just buy like a strap or something. Just buy like a strap. But no, pick out a watch.  Now look at this now. Can I search from low to high? 375 is the cheapest, bro. Come on, dawg. I'm gonna give it to a gift for somebody. Oh, here we go. You can get a strap. I'm gonna get a strap, I'm gonna get a strap. Oh, this is fire right here. You can't see any billboards if you click up on the D-pad. Exactly. We got ourselves a game, fellas. This is a 6-game win streak, these guys? Yeah. All right, see you up, Dan. See you up, see you up.    Ooh, Vortex, show me some. They're like all big, bro. This is the opposite of current Gen. Like this is so dark and current Gen is so bright. Bright, brightest. So this is actually not like a bad court because I don't really see any advertisements on this court. Yeah, that's on me, that's on me, that's on me, that's on me. I love it. I can tell you still. He doesn't love no way servers.   Show me an arm, my crew are YouTube, bro. I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back. Damn, I don't know why, wait a minute. Bro, how did he jump and catch that, what? Bro, he jumped from like, that was Giannis Anticombo type, one step and he's across the map. Good shot, boy. Good shot, Vortex, we needed that. Game time? Game time. That's a win, bang it. Mike has blessed us today. Game check, dawg. Oh my God, so many ads, so many ads. Look around. No, no ads. No, but you already said something about it. Oh, look at that ad, it called it a bomb. I didn't see nothing, I didn't see nothing, bro. You're gonna get that Luca jersey, my guy. Hey, new Sausler, boy, new Sausler, I got that jersey. Damn, this camera angle's optimal for all the ads. Isn't it low, it's ideal, it's like, okay, knows what they're doing. That's what you're doing, pick and roll. Fale! Okay, okay, that's fine. Kibobabu? Green up, bro, I don't even mean open, it's like, I don't know what they expected in that situation right there. That's really dark on this side, I don't like it. What the, is that running cats? That running cats is crazy, that's crazy. There's no billboards, I like this angle right here, I can't use it as. I can't, I'm missing the board. I mean to be honest, there's only like two things on there, so. They gave me an ankle breaker, and they're gonna give me that way. Mike, what the f***? Audio Saus, I'll say it right there, bro. Oh, you can test it, how do you jump?  And then we have agent, agent range, come on now. Yeah, that doesn't interest anymore.  Cache.  Yeah, I don't have a deep living list. Dude, I knew you could do it. A lot of games, you're leaving me open. Right there, buddy. Green, GG, baby. Pack them up, pack them up. Okay, let's. Walk around. Yeah, where should we walk? Through the entire city. There's a nice area called the city center, I don't know if you heard of it. Yeah, I don't know, man. Pretty dope. So there's a good place, I know, you know where your penthouse is? Yeah. To the left of the penthouse. Okay, tell me about this, like this area with a lot of blue icons? Nah, that's a setup, my brother. I can't go in that silhouette. Yeah, I know what we haven't done together. What? Bro, we haven't went to the f***ing fashion runway, bro. Let's go. It's walking slow motion. You know, it's walking slow motion. Yeah, no, we've added cinematic music. Oh, look at us. Look at the cinematic thing right here, dog. Oh, where did that come from? It fell down, it broke the tour ACL and ruined everything. No billboards, no billboards. Yes, they're left to right, Vortex. If I put my screen on the wall, see this is big head level tactics and strategies here, and I zoom in, the likelihood I see a billboard is low. Am I going the right way? Yeah. You can't bring me to the fashion thing with me. Oh, f***, I almost looked down.  No, I didn't.  Damn! Yo, what's good, Kai? Get in that pain! Yo!   I was playing on an 81 on the raw perimeter lockdown. Let me talk, let me talk.  You're gonna be double man. You inspired me. I'm looking at double man. You inspired me. In the true name of Kai Cnet, you know what I'm saying, I got myself a gardener center that can carry me too. Doesn't it say something about the game, guys? Real quick, this is what I'm doing right now. This is how I have to move around the city to not see ads. And I'm still seeing them, by the way, but it's the same like Luca 2K22 ads. Like they could decide to put a real ad on there right there. And no, we're like suffocated by ads. Vortex, are you gonna tell me that I passed it? You know, because you're really close to an ad. Boom. Oh yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, say it. We have an idea of what's gonna happen. Oh, oh, I'm blessed, ladies and gentlemen. The two ads I've seen, when was the Sour Patch ad? First of all, let's do the quick maths on that. So Vance, we're gonna dress up as Steve Furman agents. I'm so happy you heard me. No, I didn't hear anything. There is no way when I click up, I can see new Sauseler. What does that say? Is that Herschels? I don't know. It's some white tea, bro. Like it's basically gonna have some new sauce. New Sauseler. I guess I gotta buy one Swags item. So the complete list is a Game of NBA 2K22. I gotta buy League Pass, T-Saw, Chips Ahoy, Steve Nash, My Team Pack, Sour Patch Kids. Don't exactly know how to buy AT&T and a Swags item. So let's start by going over to the shopping center real quick, man. Okay, backpack boss, I'm on the way. Yeah! Who is she? Hey, you wanna come into my penthouse? Okay. Let me zoom in a little bit. Hold on, I need to get a close up. Never mind. Never mind. Her face. Backpack boss, what's goodie-goody? Okay, Herschels. 2K. I told you, bro. I told you, it doesn't even work. Why didn't they have ads for it? Bro, look at these backpacks. 20 bands! Hey, I looked out. Don't have to buy them. It doesn't exist, guys. So the next thing I need to do is buy My Team Pack. I don't even know if this My Team Pack exists. I haven't played My Team in centuries. But let's find out. Hold on, hold on. I gotta go to the pack market. Ian, I gotta go Steve Nash. Where's that? Nah, that one. Check that one. Oh, you did it, Steve Nash. So I gotta buy this pack right here? Yeah. Steve Nash. It says Get Steve Nash on the app. He got something. Is this a good card? Is this a good card? I'm getting the animation. What does it mean? What does it mean, bro? Bearing Davis! Bearing Davis! Even better. Jason Richardson, huh? Nice. I got two extra copies of 2K22 that you've been sitting here, so I guess I'll just give these away. Can I do that, or do I actually have to buy it? Because I have two copies right here. I don't see why you couldn't. If you already have. Did you buy them, though? I mean, technically, I had them shipped to me early. Wait, what?  No. No. No. No. No. Of course not. Hey, hold on. This is what I'm going to do. All right. Look, I got two copies of 2K22, right? I'm just going to pick two random people in the comments. Drop your Twitter so I can reach out to you, man. I'm just going to pick two random people. All right, bro. Boom. All right, man. I'm on my favorite website on Planet Earth. I do have Amazon Prime. My brother says that's 846. Why are you laughing? I'm on Amazon.  I'm looking for some chips. Oh, it's on to me, baby. What's the best part? I can get some chips ahoy. I don't need a 3-pack. That's a lot, bro. And this is Amazon Fresh. This is going to get here by 8 a.m. No. These are the valid ones, bro. These are the valid ones right here. What? Do you like them soft or do you like them crisp? I like them chunky, dog. I like them chunky. I like my women. I also got a cop from Sour Patch Kids. Oh, man. I'm trying to eat better, dog. This is not good for me. I'm just going to gift these to Chris, because Chris loves eating snacks. Okay. It's getting spicy, fellas. I got the T-Sot bin because I'm... I don't know. What's the word? Am I cheap or am I like broke? Look, man. I got to get my little bin. I'm not pulling up on a watch. I don't know if y'all... How much y'all would respect me if I had a T-Sot watch on? I've never really tried League Pass, at least except for like the free trial. It says, the most expensive one, you stream commercial free live games on all teams on two devices at once. Like, are they going to run ads during the play? Because that'd be hilarious. You missed the buzzer beater because you're watching some free McDonald's. Bro, I'm just going to buy the cheapest option. I'll upgrade later, bro. It says, completing order. Welcome to the team. How do you... No, you're not getting surveys out of me and my $60. With my pockets a little bit more empty, 2K, you win. An ad fee experience on NBA 2K22 is impossible no matter how hard you try. If you guys missed my last video, I streamed Snipe, Phantom, and Kai. Had some hilarious reactions. So go ahead, catch that. It's on the screen right now. You can go ahead and click on it right now. Otherwise, I'll catch you guys the next time I'm on your homepage. Peace.


So I'm thankful for my friends and my family for having a roof over my head and good food to eat. For the chance to enjoy crisp fall days. For family, both of choice and by chance. For my friends. For music. For games and healthy competition. For free education.


Thank you. Good morning, everyone. I'm Kev Sinckel from the Institute of Information Engineering at the Academy of Sciences. It's a great pleasure to be here with you today. My topic is the new collision attacks around the reduced check check. And my talk will be divided into these aspects. Let's start with a short description of the check and a comparison of previous work and our contribution and also the main ideas in our work. Check is also known as the winner of Shastri competition. It applies the sponge construction. The check F permutation is an iterated operation on a 5 by 5 arrays of 64-bit length. Note that the last C bits of the initial state are set to 0, so it is uncontrollable by the attackers. There are 24 rounds in the permutation. Each round consists of five steps. The state of the is usually illustrated as a three-dimensional arrays of bits. And its lower dimensional sub arrays can be called a slice, row, length, column as common terminology. So the effect of that step is to x all the current bits with parities of two columns. The row step is a length-level rotation. And the pie step is a permutation on length. And the chi step is the only nine-linear step. It x all each bit with a nine-linear function of two bits in its row. It can also be regarded as a five-bit S-box operating on each row of the state. And the Utah step is to add a constant to the state. So this is the specification of these steps. Just to remember, the only nine-linear operation is chi. And we write the composition of set row pie as L. We focus on colliering attacks in this work. And the best previous colliering attacks on Kachak family include practical results on three-round members and four-round members. Here, the surface number is the digest size. Theoretical results include four-round members and five-round members. All these results are presented by Daenerys Central in about 2012 and 2013. In our work, we find the practical collierance of five-round shake 128. It is a member in standard SHA-3. We also find the collierance on two five-round challenge versions with smaller digest size or state size. These smaller versions are also proposed by the Kachak team to promote crypt analysis on this family. And we also improve the theoretical results to five-round Kachak 224 and the six-round challenge version, with complexities below the burst boundary bound. We developed an extended algae break and differential hybrid method. This method is based on a crucial observation that the S-box can be re-expressed as linear transformations when the input values are constrained in some of fine subspaces. Also, we developed a dedicated strategy for searching differential trails. Now let's move on to the overview of the collierance attack, include the strategy of S-box linearization and how it can be used to build a connector covering two rounds. The five-round collierance attack is divided to a three-round differential that covers the last three rounds and a two-round connector that links the input difference of the differential with the initial value. Once a high probability differential, data SI to data SO is found, we build two equation systems, E-data and EM, to find the message pairs such that after padding and the two-round iterations or round permutation, the difference of the messages is exactly the target difference, data SI. The equation system E-data is built on differences. It is well-determined, and its unique solution is the difference of the two messages. And the equation system EM is built on messages. It is undetermined, and its solution space is the message space, in which we will search for collierance in the last three rounds. So the key point is how to build the equation systems E-data and EM. Some previously studied properties of Cachex S-Box can help. Firstly, given the input-output difference dirty in, dirt out, the set of all input values that satisfy the differences is an affine sub-space. Secondly, given the output difference dirt out, the set of all compatible input differences contains at least five two-dimensional affine sub-spaces. Based on these properties, Dana H. Zetro built a one-round connector to find the message pairs that after padding and one-round permutation, the difference of the pairs is exactly the target difference, dirt out. This algorithm contains difference phase and value phase. The aim of the difference phase is to find exact input differences to the chi-layer, the bat zero. So for each active S-Box in chi-layer, instead of choose the input difference directly, they choose an affine sub-space with four candidates instead. This is a more flexible approach to avoid inconsistence in the system. So when the bat zero is given, the value phase reduces to solving linear equations to obtain the actual message pairs that lead to the target difference, dirt out, dirt SI. Our idea is to extend this one-round connector to a two-round one. And the hard core of this extension is that there is a nine-linear layer chi in the first round. We tackle this problem based on some more properties of S-Box. We observed that when the input values are constrained to some affine sub-spaces, S-Box is equivalent to some linear transformations. So we define these input affine sub-spaces as linearizable affine sub-space and call it LAS for short. For example, when the input values are constrained to this two-dimensional LASV, the S-Box is equivalent to this linear transformation. As LASs are to be used together with differentials, we are more interested in those with fixed input and output differences, which is more relevant with the differential distribution table of K-Check S-Box. We observed that when the DDT value is two or four, then the set satisfying the difference is LAS. However, when the DDT value is eight, it does not allow in linearization. Exhaustive search of LASs shows that the largest LAS is of dimension two. However, this three-dimensional set contains six two-dimensional sub-sets that are LASs. For example, the three-dimensional sub-space corresponding to input difference one and output difference one, it contains these six LASs. So in our two-round connector, we use this property to linearize the first CHI layer. Specifically, we build the equation systems, E-data and EM on X variables, which is located before the first CHI layer. And initialize E-data and EM concerning the uncontrollable base in the initial state. Given alpha two, which is the input difference of the differential, we choose randomly a compatible beta one and inverse the linear layer to get alpha one and decide beta zero by Dana's target difference algorithm. Then we constrain X to LASs so that the first CHI layer will be satisfied with probability one. And at the same time, the output value of the first-round Y is linear to X. Also constrain Z to sub-spaces to make sure that the second CHI layer can be satisfied with probability one. As Z is linear to Y, Y is linear to X. The equation systems exerted on Z can be converted to those on X. So those of this equation system we get message pairs that can bypass the first two rounds with probability one. So far, we talked about the algebraic part of the method. Now let's see how to search for differential trios of high probability. An n-round differential trio is of the form of iterated alpha i, beta i. The weight of the differential from beta i over CHI layer is denoted by W i. An n-round trio core defined by a series of beta i is a set of n-round trios where the first round is a minimum weight and the last round all compatible alpha ns are considered. There are three requirements that the differential trios should satisfy. Firstly, there should be no differences in the digest part as we are considering clearance. Secondly, the degree of freedom of the LLG break apart must be large enough for the clearance search. The DF here is an estimation of the degree of freedom in the two-round connector. It cannot be predicted precisely so we set this value to be larger than the weight of the last three rounds. Note that in the last round, only the weight related to the digest part is considered. And thirdly, we want the attack to be practical so the weight of the last three rounds must be low enough. Our searching starts from search for lightweight beta threes. We are after three and after four are in CP kernel. In the forward direction, we test if there's no difference in the digest part and in the background direction, we traverse all compatible beta twos and in the trio core defined by beta two, beta three, beta four, we check whether the other two requirements can be satisfied. This is a summary of differential trio cores we obtained. We listed the number of active S-boxes from the second round to the fifth round and also the weight of the differentials from the second round to the fifth round. The sum of W two, W three and W four D decides the final complexity of the collision attack. There are many active S-boxes in the second round. It doesn't matter because the second round is covered by the algebraic part. We also find a trio core with one more round. So with this algebraic and differential hybrid method we practically find clearance on three versions and also theoretical results on two versions. We listed here the searching complexity in the differential phase, the degree of freedom in the algebraic phase and the core time spent on these two phases. As long as the degree of freedom is large enough for the searching it is very likely to launch an effective attack and in the cases where the degree of freedom is not large enough, we can consider messages of two block lengths or longer and our experiments are all completed in less than three hours. And finally I give some directions in field work. Apparently as long as the degree of freedom is large enough, linearization can be extended to more rounds. Actually with three round connectors my colleagues have already successfully find practical clearance on six round versions and this result will be presented in the ramp session later today. And secondly, the S-box linearization can also be viewed as a row level or five-bit level linear approximation. The equivalent to linear transformation is correct on sub-spaces. It can also be said it is correct with some probability and in the linear crypt analysis bit level linear approximation is used to construct distinguishes. So does linearization on alternative levels exist and how to find them? This kind of linear approximation can be used in crypt analysis on both block divers and hash functions. And last, we have system of higher degree work. Systems of degree two can also be applied to build connectors. Okay, that's my presentation. Thanks for your attention. Are there any questions? I have a small one. So you say you have already found three round connectors. Do you think four is possible or the degrees of freedom? I do not allow that. This is six round clearance. Sorry. Do you think four round connectors are something that might happen? That depends on the experiment if the degree of freedom is large enough. Okay, so maybe you will still be able to extend it to more rounds? You'll keep on working on this? Yes. Okay, thank you.


Estimated revenue comes to Heartbeat right here. I'll explain more, but I wanna start with Dune 2 and how that can help you get more views and more money on Heartbeat. If you go to h.ki, just type it into your browser and click the Dune 2, riding the sand worm. Let me show it to you. Roll it! Now this is an epic moment, which is a full seven-minute sneak peek of the entire movie as it will play in theaters on March 1st, but today is February 18th. How is it possible that on Heartbeat we're seeing the movie legitimately and how you can make money from this embedded video? Let me show you a little bit more before I answer that question. Let's jump on to the sandblasting in your face. You can see the moment right here. Click the Get Up! Now let's start at the beginning. Jump on! You get the idea. This is an amazing scene from Dune 2 and it's legitimate because we found it on the official Warner Brothers YouTube channel available for anyone to watch, and I simply press the H key to identify these moments, moments right here as my favorite moments from this sneak peek of the entire movie that I can now monetize on Heartbeat using the estimated revenue in YouTube Studio to show me how much money I will be making. You can do this too right now, not just for this Dune 2 epic sneak peek, but for any video on YouTube that you enjoy, that you find exciting moments that you think an audience will also enjoy, press the H key on your keyboard while on YouTube, watching these videos as you come across exciting moments and that will make you money. All right, that's a big statement. Let me show you how. So again, you start at h.ki, type it into your browser, press enter, you'll see this. Go to get the moments extension. The moments extension is what enables this H key. It's a Chrome extension. Once you install it and then you go to youtube.com to any video on YouTube, you can now press H. Let me show you that Dune 2 video. In fact, let's go back to Heartbeat, H.ki, go to the video and click the title. That's how you go back to YouTube. Here's the actual same video on YouTube. You can see it's the official Warner Brothers pictures channel with 11.4 million subscribers and here it is. It's a extended sneak preview. Because it's a publicly viewable video on YouTube, you can use Heartbeat to create moments on your Heartbeat for others to watch on Heartbeat. So again, I'm on this video. Let's pick a different video because we already saw that one. Let's try this one, Godzilla and King Kong, okay? Let's say this was an exciting moment right here. I press H, something boom, something happened. Great, I continue watching and something else. Oh, there's Godzilla, H. Oh, I missed it by a little bit. Let's go back. There's this little heart icon. Here's my moment that I created. Let's click the edit button. Let's nudge it back a few seconds. So you can see I can modify my moments very easily and then when I have the right start time, let's move forward a few point one seconds.  I now have this moment. Now the first one, I also wanna adjust a little bit because I saw that big hand. So let me move forward a second till I get to that big hand. There it is, a little bit more, a little bit more. Right there, this would be big hand from the ground. Okay, spelled correctly.  Well, under moments, there they are. The big ape and the big hand from the ground. Now whenever someone watches these moments on heartbeat, you will generate revenue because we will pay you not just for clicks on ads, by the way, there's no ads on heartbeat. Yet, there will be when we monetize heartbeat with ads, but it's already being monetized with views. Just by getting views to your moments, you will make money. Okay, let me show you how that works.  You can also see your followers, how many people on what days have followed your heartbeat, like subscribe to your channel, and the watch time, which represents how long people have been watching your moments. All of these things factor into your estimated revenue. We have our own internal formula that determines how much to pay you based on your views, your watch time, and of course, we favor watch time over views as YouTube does, and even your followers determine how much money you make on heartbeat. Later, we will add more revenue streams, like memberships, where people can pay you a monthly fee to see special content only for members, just like on YouTube. We will also add, of course, advertising, where there will be ads on heartbeat that you will make money from if someone clicks those ads, or takes an action that the advertiser specifies, like sign up, get my game, download my game. Those are coming, and you will control what monetization you will allow on your content that you post on heartbeat, whether it's a heartbeat moment, a heartbeat photo, or writing. You'll be able to write articles and blogs, user comments. You will control which of those content types are monetizable and how. That's all in the content tab. And you can already start creating playlists, like big ape and big hand from the ground. I can add to a playlist, I can create a new playlist. These are all features already working. You should try them out, because as you build up your audience, we'll start making more money as we introduce new revenue streams for heartbeat. Heartbeat is the YouTube that once was, guys. We are building heartbeat with no 4K 1K, meaning if you go to monetize, you can become a heartbeat partner right away. Of course, we look for content quality and we look for original titles. Don't just leave it as moment one, moment two. Spend some effort to create good content on heartbeat and you will be rewarded with money. Everybody gets paid on heartbeat. Not only the creators, the people who fix spelling mistakes and contribute to other people's work will get paid by heartbeat. That's a new concept that doesn't exist on YouTube. On YouTube, one person gets paid. The guy who made the video, he's expected to pay all of his contributors who helped him make that video. Now, heartbeat changes that model to say, we will pay the creator, but we'll also pay all the contributors, but we won't take anything away from the creator's cut. We will pay the contributors from heartbeat's cut. You know how YouTube works, right? 55% of all revenue goes to the creator. Then the creator from that 55% is expected to pay all of his contributors. In heartbeat, 55% goes to the creator just as on YouTube, but heartbeat pays the contributors from its 45% cut to make sure the creator maximizes his revenue. Doesn't have to share any of it with anyone who helps him. Heartbeat makes less money, but we believe this is the right model. This is a better model to monetize content and pay everybody fairly. Because as we know on YouTube, the guy who makes the 55% doesn't always pay his contributors. That's wrong. With heartbeat, every contributor will be guaranteed to get paid every month, forever, whenever he makes any contribution to anybody's work like fixing a spelling mistake. He will get paid by the platform so there's never gonna be any mispayment each month. That's the power of heartbeat. That's the promise of heartbeat. Everybody gets paid. All right, so if you click heartbeat, again, you'll go to HQ. You can see all the other moments that have been created on heartbeat. And we have now you who can join the heartbeat family. Just install the Chrome extension, start pressing H on every video that you come across on YouTube as you see exciting moments. And then you start building your audience. Tell people to follow my heartbeat. See, here is my heartbeat. I'm almost at, I have my own handle at George Vanus and you can get your own handle. Just click customize. That will let you specify everything about your heartbeat, your trailers, your branding, and your about, which includes your handle. All of this already works on heartbeat, guys.  Now there's many more things that are not feature complete like all the different monetization types. We're gonna introduce podcasting, music, heartbeat music like there's YouTube music. Of course those things are not done yet and we will build them. But the things that are done are great, are working, and you should try them. Tell us down there in the comments below what you think of heartbeat. What are the suggestions you have to make it better? I would love to hear your thoughts because we are actively developing the platform into something for you to make money, to make new friends. Heartbeat will be like dating for YouTubers. It will connect strangers based on common interest as you create moments of things you love. Heartbeat will notice if other people create similar moments about similar things. And if it matches you based on common interest, it will introduce the two of you to say maybe you should talk to each other. You may find you'll become friends or even start a relationship based on common interest. That's how my wife and I met online, studypond.com, a website that doesn't exist anymore, sadly, for language exchange. I was interested to learn Chinese. She was interested to improve her English and teach Chinese and that's how we met. Online, on a website based on common interest. Now we have four kids married 15 years. I'd say it was a successful match. That's what will happen on heartbeat, not just for language exchange, but for any content, any kind of interest because YouTube is our oyster. Everything on YouTube, you can just press H to identify what's interesting to you. There's no limitation to just language exchange or gaming or music. It's much bigger idea, better idea in my opinion than anything out there currently. There's nothing like heartbeat and we will be, in my opinion, one of the biggest platforms when we get more features built, when we introduce more monetization options, when we add writing and wiki-style collaborative editing where everyone gets paid, including the people who just fix spelling mistakes for others. Of course, those are necessary features that will be built and when they are, I predict heartbeat will blow up. It'll blow up with us, grow with us. Let's all help each other grow together as a family. The heartbeat family, the freedom family because if you noticed, freedom is the people who built heartbeat. The freedom team are the same guys that are building the heartbeat team or that are the heartbeat team. And of course, we're growing the team. So if you're looking to work with us, we would love to engage with you, work with you. Are you a great web developer? Are you a great community manager? Are you just a great guy or gal that would like to be part of the heartbeat team? We'd love to hear from you. Just email support at freedom.tm for now. Later on, we'll have heartbeat branded emails, but for now email support at freedom.tm and tell us about yourself and why you wanna join the team and what you're expecting from us in exchange for joining our team. We'd love to know. All right, until the next episode, who am I? I am the CEO and founder of Heartbeat and Freedom. I am George Vanus, Papa George, George Sunpai, Obi-Wan George and Obi and many other names you, the beautiful freedom and heartbeat family have given me. And I got my exercise today. I went for a little run, did some push-ups, did some pull-ups, did some chin-ups. Did you? If not, why not?  If you don't, let me be your motivation. A 48-year-old CEO and founder who's got four kids and very little time, but I still make the time to get my exercise to stay fit and healthy, so should you. Hope you do.

Family Theatre presents Gene Peters and J. Carol Nash. The Mutual Network in Cooperation with Family Theatre presents Genius from Hoboken starring J. Carol Nash. To introduce the drama, here is your hostess, Gene Peters. Thank you, Tony Lafranco. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world. Family Theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. And now to our drama, Genius from Hoboken starring J. Carol Nash as Giuseppe. Sometimes a man will sell his whole life for a song. Such was the case of Giuseppe Faustino, a barber from the old country. Giuseppe came to the United States a good many years ago and for no particular reason, settled in New Jersey in Hoboken. Like most Italians, Giuseppe had one reigning passion, music. And when he could take time off from his little barber shop, Giuseppe could always be seen at the opera or at the local concerts. Then Giuseppe met Wood and married Maria. And of course nothing would do but a first-class honeymoon at Niagara Falls. It was while they were there that Giuseppe told his bride of his life, St. Bishop. This is so beautiful, Giuseppe. All of my life I dreamed that I would be married to someone like you and that I could have a honeymoon at Niagara Falls. Then are you happy, Maria? Yes, so happy. Aren't you? Well, sure. And that's what a man is born for.  Someone wanted to love and live with and to have a family with you. Giuseppe. First of all, Maria, big, strong boy. That's the way it should be. And you know what we're going to call him? What did you say, Pi? Abraham Lincoln of Fostino. Because after name means freedom all over the whole world. Yeah, that's what we're going to call him. That is what you wish, Giuseppe. Yes, Maria. Now I have everything a man needs in his life. Everything that is except the one thing. What is that, Giuseppe? Can you believe this? All in my life I've wanted to do something. Deep down inside of me, this thing keeps saying to me, Giuseppe, you got a great talent. You must give this talent to the world. What is that talent? The creating of rich, fine violins. Violins, Giuseppe? Yes, that's what it is, violins. It burns inside of me till I almost go crazy with the desire. No, no, Maria, don't look at me like I'm crazy. I mean it. Think of it the name. Strativarius. He's a non-respected all over the world, he's the greatest artist of his profession. And that's what I want to do, Maria. I want to do that because creating the violins is so great that I want to do that. To give the world the finer music, it so deserves it. A hobby, like collecting stamps or butterflies. Butterflies? No, no, no, no, that's not a hobby. Maria, it's real. It's my reason for being here on the altar. I know it. Well, there's no money in that, Giuseppe. Well, no, no, not the right way perhaps, but someday when I have become an honor, all the famous artists come to me. Me, Giuseppe Faustino of Hoboken. But, Giuseppe, you know, can I do that? But now you have me, your wife, and soon maybe a little family.  Oh, I know that, Maria, my dear one. I said then, not right now.  It's no more five hundred dollars. Is that to make you unhappy? Oh, no, no, Maria. It always is you I shall always want. But someday I'm going to make the violins. A year passed and Maria and Giuseppe were completely happy and very much in love. The barbershop prospered. Another year went by, and Giuseppe felt that he was nearing the financial goal he had set for himself in order to become Giuseppe Faustino of Hoboken violin maker. One night he was sure of it and shortly after dinner. Was it such a good dinner, Giuseppe? You're smiling, it's all. Yes, Maria, my dear, it was a wonderful dinner. But now I'm going to tell you why I was smiling. I think... I think I'm almost ready to start making my violins. Dan, what do you think of that? Would you give up at the barbershop, Giuseppe? Well, of course, I'm making the violins. It takes a time. You just kind of fool around a little bit with it. Giuseppe, sit here, next to me. All right. That's it. You know, I'm afraid that you shall have to let the violins go a little bit longer. Longer? No, no, no, Maria. Time is the right thing just now. I've worked a hard day. I've taken a good care of you. I've seven enough for money. No, no, I can't let the violins go no longer. I'm going to start the tomorrow. No, no, no, Giuseppe, you did not let me finish. It seems that you will have to continue in the barbershop. You... you're going to be a father. Well, Maria, me? I'm going to be a father? You really mean we're going to have a little family? Yes, Giuseppe, we are. Well, what do you know about that? Giuseppe, you're hurt? Angry? Angry, I don't know. No, Maria, you're talking crazy. That's what I want, the little boy. A little boy we're going to call Abraham Lincoln of Faustino. I should say I'm not the hurt one, Maria. You're looking at the happiest man in the whole of the world. Oh, Giuseppe, the suffering. No, no, no, no, no, Maria. You've got nothing to be afraid about. That's what I want, a little Abraham. The violins, they can wait. Here, what do you want? It's the time. Doctor, yeah, yeah, yeah, Maria. I'm going to hurry immediately. Don't go away. Well, stay right in the bed. If I don't move, I'm going to be right in the back. Little Abraham came into being, a fine, strong boy, just as Giuseppe knew he would be. Again, the month slipped by.  And Giuseppe snipped on at the barbershop. Another year ticked off the calendar, and Giuseppe felt the vile in urge coming over him again. One evening, after young Abraham was safely tucked in his crib, Giuseppe sat smoking his pipe and looking at Maria. What are you thinking about, Giuseppe? My ambition. And how I long to see it become real. I know. It's so much a part of your life. You want it to very badly, don't you? Oh, Marie, I do, I do. I do so much. I can hear that my violins are singing into the night all over the world, bringing his joy to millions of people. And Maria, I think Maria, that's the... Giuseppe, don't say it. Please don't. I must, I'm a girl. And I know what it is you wish to say. You have enough money again. Yes, Maria, I do. Hold on to it, then, Giuseppe, we're going to need it. You don't mean that we... Yes, Giuseppe. And perhaps this time, it will be a girl, a girl, Giuseppe. That's nice. Oh, Doctor, Doctor, you weren't there so long enough to hear. I'm dying. Is this everything what I think? Yes, Giuseppe, everything's perfect. Congratulations, it's a girl. A girl, a girl, that's it. Justifying, it's wonderful. Her name is going to be Martha, justifying the father of the country. Thank you, Doctor, thank you very much. Another year slipped by, and Giuseppe took in a partner and expanded. Now, instead of just a little barbershop, he was the proprietor of the Hoboken Tonsorial Parlor. One night, after he closed the shop, he sat staring into a little book. That's 425. Over here's another 10, there's another 10, and there's a 25, and there's 18 in here. That's 488 dollars. How can I do it? That's going to see me through, I know. And now, for me, Maria, I know I couldn't be out. I'm going to tell it tonight. At last, Giuseppe Faustino, Hoboken violin maker. Did it today, Giuseppe? He did not tell me he started school. I know he's a smart boy, he's only two years old, but Maria, I can hardly... Of course, he didn't start to school. He fell down and skinned the end of his nose. Oh, is he going to grow on again? If that's all that ever happens to him, he's going to live it to be 100 years. Maria, I... Giuseppe, before you start, I have something to tell you. Please, Maria, this is important. It's in my violins. I've decided that now is the time to... you, you got something to tell me? Is it the... It's the what I'm thinking. What is it that you're thinking, Giuseppe? Well, if it's the what I'm thinking, then I'm... Yes, Giuseppe, you're going to be a father again. My mommy! Giuseppe, you've done it again. What do you mean, doctor? How long have you been trying to get to your violins? Many, many years, doctor, but never mind that. Martha, how is she? Oh, she's fine, Giuseppe.  Yes, and it's another girl. Is that a girl? What do you know about that? Oh, well, as long as the first one was a boy. What are you going to call her, Giuseppe? This one, this one, I think I'm going to call her Victoria. Doctor, she was a great queen, and a member of Victoria is going to be the same girl. Wonder how that's going to happen. Again, the months flew by, and... Congratulations, Giuseppe, it's a girl. A girl? Girls, girls, girls, all the way to girls. Well, Giuseppe, how's business at the Hoboken Town Surreal Parlor? Well, doctor, better than ever. That's the one thing you can count on. People always need a haircut, but tell me, how is it? Maria? Oh, she's fine, just fine.  He's a boy, a boy, a boy at the last. That's the one I'm going to pray for, doctor. Yes, and that's why I ask you how you were doing at the barbershop. You're going to need a lot of business, Giuseppe. You're getting quite a family. Doctor, you know something? I think if I'm going to put you on a yearly salary, then I'm going to save her money. Giuseppe and Maria were happy with their brood. But the old ambition, which had been lying dormant for so long, once again came to life. And one night, just as he and Maria were finishing dinner... Maria, I have a something to tell you. Oh, another fight with your partner today? No, no, it's nothing like that. We never fought anyway. Arguments, yes, but fights, no. He was a very good friend of mine. Was a very good friend? What do you mean by that, Giuseppe? He's no longer my partner. What? Did you buy him at all, Giuseppe? That is wonderful news. No, Maria, it's just the other way around. He bought me out. But how much, Giuseppe? Two thousand a dollar, yes. That is a fair price. And what do you intend to do, Giuseppe?  Yes, Giuseppe, make a violin. In the days that followed, a new light came into Giuseppe's eyes. It became a changed man. Years fell away from him, and he seemed to straighten somehow and become younger. He was engaged in making his first violin. No, no, no, no, that's wrong. It's wrong, and I'm going to try again. From early in the morning until late at night, Giuseppe worked on that first violin. His method was one of trial and error. Slowly, the instrument took shape. The sound box, the neck, the bridge. Magically, they all fitted into a perfect whole. And to Giuseppe, it was the most thrilling violin in the world. One night very late. Maria, Maria, come on, I wake up. What is it, Giuseppe? I wake up, and Maria is finished. Look, look, Maria, my first violin. Isn't that beautiful? Look, look, I'm going to finish you. It's so bright, and yet, you have a soft look it has to. Think of it, Maria. All the fine music of the Holy Universe is wrapped up right in here. All the music of the great composers. They can all be heard on these four strings, and I did it. I made this, Giuseppe Faustino. I did it, Maria. Maria, I take you tonight. I'm the happiest man in the whole world. Giuseppe, something has to be done about Martha. She needs a new dress badly. She feels so strange about even going to school. Well, I had the new dress she's going to have, but she deserves it. Martha's a good girl. But when, Giuseppe? Well, perhaps tomorrow. Giuseppe, when will you be finished making this violin, the one you're working on? This one? You know something? I think this is the finest one I have yet made. Yes, I know it is. But when will it be finished? Why is it going to be finished tonight? And when it's finished, Maria, it will be my masterpiece. Good. Because we need money, Giuseppe. Not just tomorrow, but we need the money right now. And there will be no more violence until we get it. So Giuseppe put away his dreams and returned once more to his place as number one barber of the Hoboken Tanzorio parlor. Little by little, he put his family back on his feet. But his mind was ever on his precious violins. Now, life became a humdrum, a fair indeed for Giuseppe Fausti. Giuseppe, you've a hard lead in a bite. Is something wrong? Wrong, no, no, no, it's nothing wrong. I just seem to be so tired of these nights that ex-partner of mine, Aguido, what a business he's doing now. He's putting on a chair today. He did. How many does that make now? Ten. Eleven with me in a number one chair. Yes, Giuseppe, that's where you belong in a number one chair. No. It's not the way I belong. I know what you mean, Giuseppe. That's... that's our doorbell, Giuseppe. I don't mind, but it's so late and nobody's ever... Aren't you going to say who it is, Giuseppe? All right, all right. Good evening, sir. Can I help you? It's just possible you can. Is this the home of Giuseppe Faustino? Yeah, sure, I'm a Giuseppe Faustino. That's the man I'm looking for. My name is Brandt, Alexander Brandt. Alexander Brandt? Alexander Brandt? No, no. He's the greatest violinist in the world. No, no, no. It can't be, it must be some mistake. No, Sr. Faustino. There has been no mistake. I've come to see you. You and your violins. You see, I've heard about them. Light this away, master. Light this is so bad. I hope you're going to forgive me. Just a little bit more over here. That's right. That's my workshop. Apologize. Isn't that so clean? To think the great Alexander Brandt would honor me with his presence. No nonsense, Mr. Faustino. It is quite unnecessary. Now, the violins. You see, I heard about your work quite by accident. One of the musicians in the Philharmonic is one of your customers. Gets his hair cut quite short, I believe. That's right. He was telling me about your life's ambition. I know what you mean. He's a second of violinist section. You see, Mr. Faustino, I own two Stardivare and one Guinelli. The finest violins in the world. Lack something. And for the last 20 years I've been on a search. A search for something I'm not quite sure exists. What's that, the maestro? I'm not certain. It's a song. A symphony. Perhaps it's life itself. A certain note, a ringing richness that typifies all that is real in the world. I can't quite define it, but somewhere, somehow, I must find that in the violin. So far, I've been unsuccessful. I've looked all over the world, but nowhere can I find that tone in the violin which I seek. May I see yours? Mine? I'm honored, the maestro, but it is a violin that just is something a little fellas have made. They don't compare with what instruments he oversees. That's just it, Mr. Faustino. You never can tell. And now, let me see them. Here, maestro. This is my first violin. I'm afraid this is not so much. At the time, I thought it was the most wonderful thing I've ever made, but now I'm not sure. Your first? This is incredible. Why, this is exquisite workmanship. Maestro, thank you. Ah, this one. Now, what is this?  Such craftsmanship. Such consummate craftsmanship. From where did this come? That's a minor. It's the last one I made. I'm very proud of that one.  It could be compared to one of the masters of hundreds of years ago. The texture of the wood, the seasoning. I have never seen anything like this. Maestro, that one is my favorite. I see no mark. Your name. It doesn't appear anywhere. Well, no, I'm never putting a name or no mark on anything. Well, Sr. Faustino, I thought you were an established violin maker. No, no, sir. It's a nothing. It's like my wife has said she's the one who called it a hobby. Oh, a hobby. Well, thank you very much. I'm afraid I shall have to be on my way. But it was very kind of you. Perhaps someday, when you're in town, you'd like to hear one of my concerts. Just ask for me. No, Maestro, Maestro, please. Before you go, just do me a little favor. I should be getting back to very well. What is it? This one. The last one I made. Play it for me. Play it just a little bit. You do that for me, please. You see, I'm a never, I'm a never heard of any of the violins. I'm a mad, I don't play myself. You don't play? That's true, Maestro, but you don't know how long I'm inside here. How long I want to listen to someone play one of them and you would be such an honor to have you be the first. Don't make no difference so what instruments are good, they're not, Maestro. Please, at least I'm going to hear it, please. Won't you play a little bit, please? But I... Oh, very well, I have a few moments. Why, that's amazing. What, Maestro? I can't believe it, but perhaps my search has ended. Faustino. Whether you know it or not, it has a genius in its midst. I don't understand it. Please, please. Let's sweep them up, I want to see that a number one that you look nice and neat and clean. Big shot, a big shot, coming into work in your best suit. Stand around like a boss, do no work. Is that anywhere to treat your old partner? Well, that's the way you did to me when I'm a first worker, what are you? Okay, okay, I keep my mouth shut. Just to think, Guido, just a year ago the Maestro just now I'm a famous. Yeah, yeah, famous.  A big shoot? How do you write, Guido? I work hard all my life for this the biggest barbershop in all the Hoboken, 18 inches. And a bar galley I sell in my violins.  And no more haircuts for me, Guido.  Working a slave all the time, good afternoon, Sr. Faustino. Oh, Maestro, I didn't expect to see you. I had to stop off just to see you again. I can't set the Maestro, I heard about the concert last night. Biggest success ever? The greatest success in my whole career. Your violin made music never heard before. Oh, but let's talk about that later. Giuseppe, this shop of yours it's the most beautiful barbershop I've ever seen. Well, that's a thanks to you, Maestro.  You're too kind. And now, Maestro, if you would do me just one little favor, it would make all my happiness complete. But of course, what is it?   Gene Peters again. You know, it's an interesting art violin making. The luthier must select his woods with great care and age them until they're exactly right for carving. He must tool them patiently and skillfully. And then, he must select the varnishes that will give his violin the most beautiful finish, and at the same time, seal the pores of the wood to ensure pure, perfect tone from the finished instrument. For, no matter how beautiful the flaming or masterful the carving, the instrument can serve its eventual purpose well, it can have no real value. The right kind of work and the best ingredients must go into each violin in order to have the right kind of tone come out. There's a similarity between violins and raising a family. If parents want their children to grow up correctly and have complete and happy lives, they must see that they have the right ingredients. A good home life, an environment rich in love, a measure of security, and most important of all, a familiarity with God. Family theater urges you to pray together as a family to secure these things for yourselves and for your children. For through family prayer you bring God into your family. You invite his blessings on yourselves and your household, and you ensure that measure of security and environment of love that comes with family unity. For the family that prays together stays together. The values are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. From Hollywood Family Theater has brought you Genius from Hoboken starring J. Carol Nash. Gene Peters was your hostess. Others in our cast were Virginia Gregg, Ted D'Corsia, Norman Field, and Pat McGeehan.

My name is Adam Lyon, so I'm known in the community as AFC Adam. I have so many different ambitions and things that I want to be doing in life, beyond just pick up and stuff like that.  So some of the things I want to do is obviously I want to make an independent horror film, start off with maybe a small film and build it up from there. But I've also got ambitions to, I've started sword fighting again, so I've been doing actually my live action role playing where you like dress up in costume and sword fight people. So I've been doing that again and I'm looking to maybe put on some kind of small event like that. And yeah, just following the road to see where it takes me. The big thing that got me into the community was I realized that one of the goals I was kind of dating, I'd had four relationships prior to learning game. One of the relationships, the last one that I was in, I found out that not only had she been seeing a whole bunch of guys behind my back, but when I confronted her with it and we broke up, she ended up stealing all of the belongings from my house, my PlayStation, my PC, my video games, absolutely everything she could take, she did, leaving my house completely barren. I think I've still got the photograph somewhere of how she kind of left my room. And about six months earlier, one of my friends had handed me this book called The Game and he said to me, he said, Adam, this book is designed for you. He said, do you don't realize it yet? He goes, but you were supposed to do this. He goes, I know when you do this, you're going to take to it like a duck to water. And I kind of threw it on a back shelf and ignored it, but it was one of the things she didn't take. And so I sort of opened up the book, started reading it, signed up on a course and that was the start. Neil Strauss is obviously a big inspiration to me because of reading The Game and he was kind of like my first sort of look into the community. I actually got to meet Neil Strauss quite soon afterwards, which was really great. He's a really nice guy, really genuine and I suppose he made me realize that a lot of the misconceptions about some of the top pickup artists were actually a lot of hearsay and a lot of it didn't hold true because when I met Neil in person, he was very different to the kind of image that I had kind of been led to perceive by the majority of the people in the community. With regards to my own journey through the game, there was definitely mixed sort of like good points about meeting some of the top gurus and definitely some negative sides. I had a lot of conceptions that some of these pickup guys were absolutely untouchable. They could do whatever they wanted when it came to women. And some of my aspirations to kind of like to maybe be as good as Neil Strauss and be able to get any woman I want when I actually met him, I realized that actually he's very down to earth.  Whereas there were definitely some other people that I met who not only want as good as they were trying to prove that they were but they actually were kind of trying to force that idea on people that they were amazing, that they really could pick up absolutely everybody they wanted. And it was a shame because if they just accepted they could fail sometimes it might make it a lot easier to maybe relate to them and to believe half the things they were saying. The lowest point for me in my journey in the game was actually probably the point where everybody else was looking up to me the most. It was the point where I had 14 different girlfriends. I had some of the most beautiful women throwing themselves at me. I would walk into a nightclub in London, 250 girls would walk in the door with me. I literally was probably at the top of my game and I realized I wasn't happy. I was on fulfilled.  I realized I didn't have to work for anything. Women would just throw themselves at me. I was at the lowest point of self-motivation in my life. I had guys that wanted to be like me and I was actively looking at them being like, why do you want this? This isn't fun. This isn't happy. And the turning point for that for me, the point where suddenly everything became happy and enjoyable was really when I realized that I wanted just one girl and I wanted to settle down. And I think anybody that says that they really do just want a whole bunch of different random girls I don't think they've really experienced the pinnacle of that because when you really have that, when you really have a lifestyle where women are throwing themselves at you, Johnny Wolfe from the P-Way Summit actually flew out to come and meet me to see how true this was. I've got a testimonial where he saw me throwing women out of my bedroom who were begging to come in there to have sex with me. And that was the lifestyle I was living and it wasn't fulfilling. David D'Angelo was a guy whose name I'd heard mentioned a lot throughout my journeys in the community but I'd never actually bought any of his products or read anything of his. And it was only actually quite recently, although I was kind of familiar with some of his concepts like cocky funny, it was only very recently that I actually got to find out more about him when he interviewed me for his interview series. And I got a call from some of the people in his camp saying, hey, David D'Angelo would like to interview you and I kind of got to speak to him firsthand and the guy's an absolute genius. I mean, not just what he knows about pickup but what he knows about life in general and about business and marketing. He's a very genuine individual and I learned a lot from that conversation with him. There are definitely some people out there that have a negative outlook on the community and I think that any time I've ever come across that it's usually the person who doesn't actually fully understand what the community is. For me specifically and I think really that's what the community is. It's always a personal choice of how you view it. I've always viewed the community as a male self-help group. It's a bunch of guys that are firstly admitting they have a problem and they can't meet girls and secondly they're willing to do whatever it takes to get there. And yeah, different people have different journeys. Some it's maybe a bit more aggressive. Some it may not be a pleasant experience but I think on the whole for most it's a really good positive experience that they come out the other side of it with a better understanding of women. I think one of the main reasons that the community is taboo or is seen as being secretive and underground and maybe a little bit manipulative is specifically because us guys are kind of scared of letting the girls know what we're doing. There are so many people that hide behind false names hide behind online stories whereas in reality you can kind of come out and tell the truth. I mean Cosmopolitan and FHM they're full of true life stories things that have actually happened to me. There's nothing wrong with accepting it. One of my biggest signs for whether a guy actually is comfortable with what they're doing and in my opinion really should be giving out and giving this advice is based on how comfortable they are. A being seen by people to be doing what they're doing and B being comfortable with their name being put to it. Everybody knows me I'm out in the open. I've made mistakes, I've done some things but I've done all of it open. Everyone found out about my girlfriend before I got with her I told them what I was going to do, I told them before I was going to propose, they've seen the whole thing they saw it out there on the cards and it could have gone wrong, maybe something would have happened. Would my name have been Marin? Who knows but the point is I was brave enough to stand by it and do it. One of the biggest reasons that I think I've been so successful is this is not only if I've been really open and told everyone what's going on but I've also tried my best to be as truthful as possible. I will literally even if it completely means me come out there and try and speak the complete truth. What I love is so many people don't even believe it. There's no way that Adam can just come out and tell the truth and yet I do and I find that's the only way to be completely congruent is to not only be open but to also be truthful and that way people see you for who you are and then you only get judged accordingly. From my personal point of view with regards to where I sit in the community I've always associated myself as a pickup artist because I wanted to go out there and I wanted to pick up chicks and end up dating them. Up until the point I got married the point I got married was a definite turning point for me because I'm no longer a pickup artist. I mean it's great that I still will get perceived as one and there's no way I'm leaving the community I'm going to keep helping guys out as much as possible but you know I'm not out there to pick up chicks and as much as I'm going to help other people do that I kind of see myself as somebody who trains other people to be pickup artists rather than being a pickup artist myself and I'm definitely starting to identify more with being a dating coach and looking at helping people with things beyond just picking up things how to handle a date how to handle a relationship. Things that I genuinely feel that I'm starting to gain a much stronger experience based on than a lot of other pickup artists who kind of meet a girl move on to the next girl and concentrate on things like you know instant lays and how to have one night stands for me it's much more about how can you prolong that how can you ideally meet the person you want to be with and stay with them forever. Two years ago there is absolutely no way that I would have considered myself as somebody qualified enough to teach relationships. I purposely haven't even though I was dating at the time I wanted to make sure that I was coming down with a point of authority. I don't think you can talk about relationships until you've been married and seen it right through to the end. I'm still new in my marriage I'm still not in a position you're not going to find me coming out of any kind of marriage product anytime soon. I want the experience and the wealth of knowledge before I teach about it. It's really hard for me to work out whether my personal journey through this and come into the conclusion of one perfect woman being for me is what everybody wants but I truthfully believe that for me from my own journey somebody who did have that and people have seen my journey they've seen the phases where I didn't have any girls in my life they've seen me learn they've seen me go through it it's been documented how I went from somebody who wanted to get a lot of girls to somebody who succeeded. I ran projectdontorage.com one of the largest club hosting companies in London. I had those women in my life they're still on my Facebook I achieved that and I know that for me specifically I definitely wanted that one I speculate I hypothesize that that's the same for every other guy but unfortunately this is a case study of just one guy and from there I can't judge any further than that. With regards to people who view that perhaps the male population of the world has become feminized and we've allowed that women to kind of like take over I really just see that as part of the balance in the sexes. I think that we definitely lived in a very male patriarchal society where males are very much dominating things and I think that now as we've started to reintroduce that balance I think guys don't really know their place in the world I think they've never really known how to maintain a balance because they've always used to being in a position of power and I think that's definitely created some sort of imbalance and I do think that the community is a splinter off that's kind of evolved from that need for men to realize how to maintain that balance and I've always said this when you learn pickup artistry when you get good at it really all you do is become a little bit more female with this imbalance that's happened with us trying to maintain a balance between the sexes there's now become an imbalance specifically in men and also in women in how people should behave what our roles should be and I think what we're going to see is a consistent change and there'll be some kind of equilibrium that sets and that will constantly be at battle I mean at the end of the day the war between the sexes is one that will never end hopefully because if it ever does that will mean the loss for all of us there were definitely a bunch of people when they first started the community that were seen as snake charmers there were definitely people that I believe don't have the skill to pull off what they've got I'm not the kind of person that goes around and drops names on people but I can say I know for a fact that some guys that are charging $3,000 for a course sometimes even more have had sex themselves with less than 10 girls people that come to me and say Adam how do you do it how do you maintain a relationship every girl I ever get just breaks up with me and all I want to do is settle down with one and then they then go out and preach how it's important to have multiple girls and you shouldn't just stick with one and it pains me it pains me to hear it and I know there are people that would love me to come out and point the finger at those people but unfortunately if I do that they're only going to point one right back and try and make up falsehoods because if they're happy to lie about how great they are they're going to be happy to lie at how bad other people are so I've got this whole philosophy it comes from my game and comes from everything I try and add value to as many people as possible and I'm going to go out there and I'm going to help as many people as I can and literally person by person I'm going to prove that this does work and that we can help people the only thing that's ever pissed me off about the community the only thing that's really got under my skin is a lot of the old issues being drug across to the current things when we first started doing our boot camps and I first started running them I was running them back in 2006 my early boot camps were nowhere near the quality that they are now my boot camps in 2008 are completely different to how they are in 2009 I'm constantly evolving and changing and I'm seeing that in my students results in the testimonials that I'm getting we're getting more and more people with success I think the one thing that pisses me off is as soon as somebody has one bad experience from the past they definitely try and translate that so if they do a really bad boot camp with one of our competitors they'll suddenly assume that all future boot camps with everybody else whether they've done one or not is bad and even if they've had perhaps a less than perfect experience with myself then they aren't willing to come again or they aren't willing even completely for free to see the improvements that have happened I know as ANTI's done with the 21 convention with regards to renaming it rebranding it and going about changing things we're constantly doing that with our own boot camps the results we're getting now are better than ever and I just wish sometimes I could go out there and find all the people that think that it doesn't work drag them out there and give them a completely freebie and just show them how much difference we can really make to people there is definitely political siding and conflict and sort of like a background subterfuge that goes on around the community with the corporates definitely trying to take things for themselves to generate as much profit as possible however I think you're going to find that in any industry anywhere in the world I've worked in public relations I've worked in marketing I've worked in the movie industry I've worked in television and all of these places had their own different political intrigue that was going on it's just what happens when you mix money I genuinely feel that the community itself has always had a number of different branches there's definitely been people that are very much more about improving your life improving your lifestyle and trying to help you with that side of things and there are definitely those that are always going to be talking about magic tricks and routines and kind of like the the number one line that's going to guarantee to get any girl to want you and I think that's just how it is it splinters in different ways we're always going to see that separation there'll be new types of pickup methodology that we can't even imagine right now I heard there's a guy who's specializing in Halloween game everyone's creating their own different niches within it I've seen a lot of different types of guys within the community I've seen the core big companies I've seen a lot of the independent movement within London when I first started coming out I was one of the independence I was one of the first guys that came out of it from my honest experience the independent guys have a shelf life there's only so long they can maintain it because there's so much bulk of work that has to be done that eventually starts to wear on you you need to kind of take that relaxed lifestyle I know some of them have managed to survive that by living certain times sort of part of the year in a different part of the world that's a lot cheaper to live coming into more affluent areas and using that to help them survive I know some of my good friends do that by living in Thailand and working in Los Angeles and in the United States if you're looking at this career if you're looking at long term you need that infrastructure you do need support of a big company it was definitely a decision that I came to after being an independent for a good couple of years having a big company behind you definitely helped if only with advertising marketing and having a receptionist answer emails there's definitely a tipping point where you can only have so much success without bothering to set up the infrastructure and everyone's seen it when you're an independent when you start making that much money and if you don't what happens is you end up with upset clients and suddenly your name ends up falling apart and you see the rise of the fall of these independents all the time the average independent lasts maybe a year or two years before everything starts to fall apart unless they set up an infrastructure and then what happens is you just have a new corporate setup I think Miha was a great example of that he was an independent that splinted off and then he went corporate, he had to because in order to sustain the kind of size that he was getting he needed the corporate infrastructure to keep it alive I personally feel that the community is an ever changing construct and I don't think it's either aligned good or bad I think that realistically the community is always going to change it'll have its ups, there'll be media stories where we're portrayed in a bad light and then every so often you'll have it where it goes the other way completely and it shifts and suddenly the pickup community will be dating coaches helping out the poor guy who's a virgin it's always going to shift around it's always going to be moved around and realistically the media are going to control how people see it at the end of the day I try and do things helping as many people as I can I really feel that the community is constantly going to change in a bunch of different ways I think we're going to see continued growth into new areas, new niches coming out we're going to see new faces constantly changing as to where it's going to go exactly I think it's impossible to predict but the one thing that I'm proud of knowing is that being a part of it from its early years I want to be at the forefront of helping people continue to push it especially with regards to the media being seen as publicly acceptable to enrol in one of these programs to do something about changing a personal life and to go on and be happy with regards to how people are going to be perceived in the future I do feel it's going to be personal growth it's still going to be pickup, it's still going to be there it's just we're going to see it splinter in so many different ways there will be a branch that's pure pickup there will be a branch that's pure dating coaches we're already seeing it some of the big corporates are already changing their terminology to call themselves dating coaches rather than pickup artists we're definitely going to see this happen but the community will always still be there it's just going to grow and expand into multiple different areas I think a lot of the events are kind of hit and miss and I think it's specifically because people don't have the strong level of attention to detail it takes to organize them I mean there are definitely exceptions the PUA summit has grown from year to year to year to definitely being one of the core calendar events you have to go to the real man conference had big bang and a whiz and sparks but it only did one year and we haven't seen it come back it pulled more people than any other event has ever done but it didn't pull the amount that I think they needed to maintain it at that level which was the issue the 21 convention came in from the outside it was organized by everyone thought a little kid at the time didn't really know what it was doing but it was rumored to have the people there and of course if there are guys that are going to come there and want to listen to you talk then you're going to go there and talk in reality the whole thing was organized really well it definitely had some key elements for me the big reason I tended the 21 convention initially was because it was recommended to me by one of my friends and he said you need to go and speak at this event it was actually sin that first recommended it to me back then it was the under 21 convention and I remember thinking when I stood up on the audience I had to look out to the crowd and I was like these guys don't look like that under 21 and I was hearing all these other guys talking about college game and all of the different things they were teaching I was like man you guys aren't looking at your audience these guys aren't under 21 they're over 21 and so I stood up and I asked I was like guys who here is under 21 and no one raised their hand and it made me realize that these weren't guys that were coming out here because they were under 21 and they wanted to learn how to pick up chicks in college these were guys that wanted to come in here some of the greatest pickup artists in the world come and speak and that's what there was on stage some of the best pickup artists in the world that had all come to speak just unfortunately the other speakers didn't bother to take a look at the audience to work out what was going on so from that point on I made sure that I tailored my talk I changed it there on the spot to one that anybody could understand no matter how old they were and since then the 21 convention has consistently pulled in around the world for me it's once you meet Anthony that you realize that he's not just some young kid he's definitely a guy who does have that strong level of attention to detail maturity that's needed to organize an event like that and it's refreshing it's nice to know that he isn't just somebody who's thrown a bunch of college kids together he really is somebody who's got a dream and ambition to really make something of the event and as long as he keeps doing that then I think people are going to keep turning up any time someone can create a business model that involves them giving out free content free material I'm 100% for it I've tried to make sure I give as much of my stuff away for free as possible and I've definitely taken flag for it from a personal point of view so there's absolutely no way that Anthony can't be taking flag for it I get people come up to me buy my product and say you know what I managed to find all of this stuff completely for free online so if you don't mind I'll take a refund and that sucks when you first hear that you think man so you've already enjoyed the stuff you've just managed to get hold of it for free and now you don't want to pay me for the content but on the other hand there are so many people that are willing to keep supporting you to keep paying for it to make sure you can continue to do that then it's great I think realistically it's really nice to have an event that does cover everything from health to nutrition to pick up and those kind of things and I think that's always going to be a pull we are part of the self-help movement and I think guys are definitely interested in those other topics and it's definitely something that's set to 21 Convention Apart from potentially the other events where I am right now in life I'm currently in South Beach we've just done a boot camp where we've just helped 10 guys half of the guys in the course managed to get laid the rest of the guys in the course probably weren't looking for that but every single person with that 100% we've had success rate all managed to get phone numbers, to get dates with girls that they were interested in and that's something that we've seen consistently for the last 15 months of doing training in the courses myself I'm happily married I've got a lovely little house in south Texas I've got a kitten that I live with and I absolutely love my life I'm looking forward to over the next couple of years having a family and looking at what I can do to continue improving our courses because now I don't look at them from somebody who wants to help myself anymore which I feel a lot of pickup artists do I'm no longer interested in my own results every single person has a different view or an idea of what they want in the community a 21 year old virgin is worried that he's never going to get laid he's worried that for the rest of his life he's not going to know how to relate to girls and it causes problems though the guy that I helped recently on this particular boot camp in Miami was a girl when she was initiating things she tried to kiss him four times and he kept turning her down because he'd never kissed a girl and he didn't know how to do it a guy like that, if somebody doesn't come in and help him and tell him the signs he may never kiss a girl, he may be a 45 year old guy somebody else that I've helped in the past who is still a virgin so for everybody they've got their own goals I find it's very rare that somebody just comes into this because they want to have sex as many people as possible those guys exist, there's just not that many of them the biggest challenge that I have in my way is really finding all the guys that don't believe this works because they've been burnt in the past and trying to get through to them that actually it can work, actually they can get success rate and actually there are people that can help them and it's not just myself, there are definitely a number of guys that can help and I really want to get over to them and I'm willing to sit down with each of those guys completely for free to help them to show them that we really have created something that works now whereas in the past it was definitely hit and miss there were definitely a bunch of snake charmers in the early days but there are people now that know how to make this work I really believe that there are two sides to game there's your personal self that you kind of want to address because once you fix that then you've got a core level of attractiveness that you've built up that women are going to see and be instantly attracted to but on the other side of it I've seen guys that have an absolutely perfect core sense of self some really super overachieving type guys they're absolutely great and you have no idea how to relate to women so I feel there are two sides on one hand you've got game and on the other side you've got yourself now you can work on either one independently it's going to have some kind of impact on your game but to truly be the best you can possibly be you have to work on absolutely everything and combine it
