Hey everyone welcome back to the Nintendo Prime podcast episode 23 if you are watching this on YouTube. I deeply apologize We are gonna have a shortened week this week and I'm missing my camera equipment. It's really weird I don't know what's going on with that if you're gonna be more prepared than this but there's a reason I'm not as prepared as normal today and That's because of the two topics. We're gonna talk about are essentially two games I know we normally go with five topics, but two games released last week released released last week And we have both of them in the office and well, I'll probably eventually get some reviews up for these soon But before we do any official review capacities Let's just talk about our experience with the games and we'll start with the game We just finished up the reason that this podcast is recorded so late And I can't find my camera equipment. Mr. Puyo Puyo Tetris. Oh, yeah So What is Puyo Puyo Tetris? Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's a game that kind of combos Puyo Puyo and Tetris All right, and it is pretty much exactly let's be clear Eric and I have never heard of Puyo Puyo before today No, and apparently I'm way better at that than you are Yes, Puyo Puyo is obviously another kind of puzzle kind of game like Tetris and Dr. Mario and all those like there Yeah, it feels more like that more like Dr. Mario.  It has a story mode only play the first level of it So as I said, this is why I can't really say we're gonna review the game right now because I haven't experienced the full single-player mode Which I have to do beforehand Here's a thing this game feels like it's for multiplayer. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. So I don't know if the single-player mode is gonna do it for me I don't know. It seems silly so far. Yeah No, no, it's pee pee. It's pee pee. I don't remember pee pee. Oh my gosh Anyways, so it's a puzzle game that combines Tetris and Puyo Puyo We were playing it got it. We started I thought we're gonna play for 10 minutes We're gonna play for like an hour. Yeah, so yeah Um whoops, what are your thoughts about this game? I like it I am not good at Tetris, but apparently I'm halfway decent at Puyo Puyo You know how bad he is at Tetris he didn't even know what a Tetris was I haven't played Tetris and God knows how long But everybody knows it's a max line clear with a straight piece and I haven't played Tetris since I was like Eight yeah, well, I've never really liked Tetris as I can be as can be Shown by me. I'm frustrated blowing every every so bad. It's not just you blowing it is you I don't know how many times every time it switches the Tetris because okay, so let's explain what happens in this game Okay, so the multiple of all there's all these different game modes and the most Frustrating one for someone who doesn't like Puyo Puyo or doesn't like Tetris is swap mode because the game switches back and forth Between Tetris and Puyo Puyo.  So it's crazy um, I Had a lot of fun with this game Yeah, and that's probably the takeaway a little end up in the review is that it's just fun Mm-hmm. It's not complex although it can be you can I can see this being like super competitive Oh, yeah, especially between us especially between us like I just said did this the summer world of tournament like What we do fantasy drafts on Madden in the future like who's good who's uh, who's gonna get this trade for X player? Yeah, settle it. We'll be a touch of style, baby Okay, so as we don't go big bang and I end up with Puyo Puyo. Oh Big bang the thing was probably the one I didn't like the most. It was fine. It was just Here's what I don't like about the big bang one is that I picked Tetris for it. You picked Puyo Puyo and Essentially what the game is doing is its pattern recognition and it's just you need to put your your pieces in the right spot to clear the level and Puyo Puyo is a little bit more complex in how you need to think about it Whereas the Tetris is just fit it in the hole It's put a square peg in a square hole, right and just rip rinse and repeat over and over like it's really easy and I Could imagine that there's probably Puyo Puyo players out there like Puyo Puyo is more popular in Japan That'll be like No, it's so freaking obvious where every piece goes. Yeah, but for us who grew up with Tetris and not Puyo Puyo It's kind of like okay It's not exactly super obvious when it pops up where the right spot is to drop that piece Yeah, right and it kind of gives people you put your players especially North America a disadvantage over Tetris players in that mode Yeah, now we never went Tetris against Tetris in that mode. So they go wrong some better at Tetris than you Yes, but it's so easy. It's so obvious. You'd have to like try to screw up. Oh, don't worry. I'd find a way I'm just that bad at Tetris. Yeah, but it it's fun I'm actually surprised how fun put it this way the hour we put in the Puyo Puyo Besides my Mario Kart live streams.  She's since now. I kind of understand Puyo Puyo a little bit. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, yeah, right you're gonna you're gonna hit multiple times She's just gonna she's just grab my switch and play it all night, right right, but that's what's so great about this game is I'm not I'm traditionally not like a puzzle gamer You know more than the action adventure games there be G right even you know shooter games bang bang pee-pee But for some reason Puyo Puyo Tetris is Just it's just fun. I mean there. What else is in the same side? It's just fun It doesn't it's like for all skill levels And again, I haven't played much for the single-player mode, but I will say it looks absolutely silly Ridiculous as it should be and apparently I think it's probably more theater on Puyo Puyo the Tetris I think I don't know what Puyo Puyo games are actually like. Yeah, just Puyo Puyo Yeah, do they have these big long weird awkward story modes right where apparently you're gonna Puyo Puyo blows up You can randomly transport you to a new world.  I don't know Oh, are all my friends gonna drop it from the sky Right, I don't know. I don't know that was just ridiculous and then some of the sounds that some of the characters make It's like wait what?  Oh, yeah Oh, no, no, it's who's better at Puyo Puyo who's better at Tetris. Just who's better. Just go that was a fun one. Yeah, it was it it's The thing is this whole time because you and I are on camera I'm gonna ask I'm gonna record the footage has a footage of Puyo Puyo up Yeah, I was gonna say if I maybe after this will record some matches between us. So it's yeah, it's a computer. Yeah but Because you know Nintendo's not gonna claim this one because it's not a Nintendo game, right? It It's just fun. You know even watching it this whole time We're here just talking about I mean there isn't much to say right now except it's fun once I finish the story mode That's when I'll throw up an actual review and maybe I'll do us even a video review. We'll see Because our review of Breath of the Wild was a little different It was just us talking about Breath of the Wild for the most part And then I wrote a written review I'm kind of in between on what to do with video reviews like do I want to do full IGN easy allies traditional ink even You know angry Joe style Yeah, like go point by point half hour long videos or do I just want to be like let's just talk about it Because that's kind of what we're doing now, right? But I feel like we don't know enough of the story money to do right a full a full thing I talk we can talk about the the multiplayer You know matches. Yeah, we didn't do any online and I don't even know if Maybe we'll do that next See if we could play online with us to local on a system against two other people Because I because it does have up to four players. Not really interesting But yeah, it's man, I'm surprised at like it's so simple But the way it mixes everything and like the swapping mode and even the power of roads You don't know what's happening. You're just clearing lines and this thing, you know, things are nuts, right?  Oh, yeah and multiplayer and that's Amazingly awesome.  Yeah And that's why I'm afraid to let my girlfriend But let's transition into the other game that released last week the game that's sold over a million copies worldwide in three days Wow Mr. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe yeah a remaster plus new content of Mario Kart 8 off of Wii U by all accounts it is the Superior version of Mario Kart both technically and just in terms of content and a Lot of people saying like this is the definitive Mario Kart there is no Mario Kart better than this one Now obviously Subject opinion right fond memories of the n64 era. Yeah, I need to run my mind. Yeah, but I Mean, is it really better than this one? No, probably not Nostalgia goggles maybe Nostalgia is not a negative. It's just no no no I can't think of anything wrong with Mario Kart 8 off the top of my head The only the only thing that's weird and this is gonna be weird for people who didn't play Mario Kart 8 on Wii U Is that all the courses are unlocked right away? No That's you know Mario Kart usually makes you earn the courses Then you still have to earn your cars and get coins like there's still a point to race and get coins and earn New car right parts and stuff right, but If that all the courses are unlocked, I know it's supposed to be also Wii U players I don't have to redo everything to unlock the courses, but At the same point. It's like well. Yeah, but how many people own the Wii U You may cater more to that audience a lot of you are getting this unless they want to do online, right? but We I've ran a couple tournaments and stuff and again, it's a lot like Mario Kart 8 Because it is Mario Kart 8.  Yeah, it was the worst multiplayer. I think that's ever existed in Mario Kart No, okay, let's go see who they brought back a proper battle mode with I think it's four different types You had start you had the shining star. Yep shine.  Yeah, pretty much and They had the normal the normal The battle and then Bob mom's the bomb and then was there any other one? Oh, you said what there's five also the coin Get a click. Oh, yeah coins. Yep So we did some online matches that we could have done just us to it with computer people are just us two against each other These it's more fun. It's more fun with more people and playing with actual people.  I don't know who you are. I'll care. Yeah, no idea.  And yes, Darren, I played his dry bones In fact, I think on the line because there's actually a tournament going on Mario Kart 8 right now for internal prime, which By the time you guys hear this, it'll be over But you need to just start paying attention more to our Facebook page and our twitch especially twitch that TV slash Nintendo Prime 5j gaming streams on our channel every weekend and he's been doing Mario Kart tournaments now So we'll see how long he does that for but we have a $20 tournament going on. It's already ended by the time you hear this So sorry because it ends it ended on Sunday at 1130 at night and it's been going on for a week So we'll see I'll be doing a live stream before this even goes up of my final I have 28 races up to do because it's a 48 race And if I get number one, it doesn't matter. It'll go to number two. Yeah, it's not like I'm gonna be like I gotta get number one So I don't have to pay anyone. Yeah, although that'd be a nice challenge for myself Like now I really want to win and I shouldn't live stream so I can Sort of worried about that or winning. Yeah, but no, that's how it goes. I've already committed to it. So The big deal, I guess with it with the battle mode Is that it's back and what are your thoughts because? Obviously, this is a callback to n64 era Thrown in with a whole bunch of new modes that didn't exist back then so Just initial thoughts. Mr. Old School Eric Hmm, I do like it. I like it a lot actually Some are better than others. I think I actually kind of like cops and robbers the best I don't know why but it was it was quite fun. Yeah Yeah, and then I mean the bomb one is really not nuts Yeah, especially towards the end to it's like, oh my god There's bombs flying everywhere. The other ones are Okay, I mean it the balloon one is just you know old-school Yeah, Marker, which is fine But it doesn't seem as fun as some of the other well Here's my issue. Here's the one thing that I wish they would have I liked all the additional modes But in the balloon one, I wish they would have made it like it was back in the day Back in the day in the n64 the big difference in that one of this one is that it wasn't about who?  Yeah, that would and there's no mode in this right now. That's who is the last one with the balloon left? No, once five balloons pop you're back up with three Yeah, and I understand it like I guess the idea is to keep people entertained and keep them engaged That's what you just turn them into Obama. I'm gonna blow somebody up exactly like they're done 64.  Well, there's only two people left the hiding in the work anymore No, so it's one of those things that I wish they would have that classic mode back where it's just survival the fittest You have five balloons once they're all popped. You're done, right?   That's what I pop back in Whoop-de-doo.  Yeah, and then finally it ends up after someone slips on that it ends up as a bomb I'm just fine. Oh, and it keeps you changing up the gameplay a little bit and forcing the other players to be like Yeah, just gonna be eliminated those guys They can still impact us right right and take us out great But that's the thing it's that's the only complaint I have In terms of their additions like I I think I think it's clever what they did With most of them. Oh, it's like yeah cops and robbers is a lot of fun But I feel like a lot of these walls are gonna hit with different people Some people are gonna love that that coin you're collecting those coins. Yeah, some people are going to love the shine and It and you have to there's a trick to it like yeah Yeah, because everyone's chasing after one person. It's keep away.  Yeah But and it's it's crazy when you're doing it online too because you have to choose your card ahead of time You don't know what mode it's gonna be so like like in keep away mode you want speed But on other ones you might care more about acceleration more about cornering more about this and that so like you pick your vehicle Do you have no idea what you're gonna play which which is just a perfect awesome thing about about that Yeah, we haven't said obviously played four friends like old school back in the day I'll get eight people together and try to try to go nuts. Yeah, you know, we'll take two switches I believe so you do eight on one But still it's one of those games that I am really glad they added the battle mode back in I like what it is even even the traditional popping the balloons It's just kind of like to me. It just kind of felt like something was missing. Yeah in that mode Yeah, that mode all the other ones were like, oh, this makes sense. Yeah, this one. Oh five my balloons are popped Oh, I'm back. Yeah, what? Yeah, right. Why am I back?  It's just and 64. Yeah, it just feels like it's lacking something 64 version was better. And you know what? And this is just a credit to one specific battle level in N64 But remember that one that had the four blacks. Oh, yeah with the with the crosstowers. Yeah, they why did it not bring that back? I don't know that one would be awesome with these new battle modes. Yep. It would just be nuts Yeah, like oh, I have 15 coins that we go chill on top of one of these things Yeah, until someone comes up there and does a freaking hop over you and steals what Yeah, they're right that movie Yeah, I like it. I like the maps I like everything that they've done outside of the fact that they've missed the mark on that particular mode It may be you guys disagree out there. Maybe you guys are like, no, I like it better this way And that's cool.  Yeah, I know some of this random You know, right, right, right?  Yeah, well, yeah for sure.  Yeah, it's The thing is it was fun I think the only reason that we ended up rushing through it at all was just because I wanted to get some Pui Pui Tetris in which The thing with Mario Kart 8 it wasn't that we weren't having fun. It's just that been there down there Exactly. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of in a way you if you played one Mario Kart game You kind of played them all in a way. Yeah, I mean they added there. There's not three I mean, these are all technical things. There's not three different types of drifts. All right, there's What is it now you have to hold two items in this one? Yeah, right? And I know people are gonna be screaming at me. No, it's not. No, no, I mean It's one of those games, you know what you get.  Until a breath of the wild happened the Skyward Sword also was like a big wrench in everything and The Wind Waker at the time was a huge wrench.  And so that's kind of the way it is with with Mario Kart You know what it is and it's fun. It's a lot of fun new courses new new characters new tracks New abilities to do everything. It is fun.  Oh, yeah, yeah Mario Kart. Yeah, and we'll do every single thing there is a new Grand Prix Oh, yeah, yeah for sure.  Yeah, has to Like the old Steve game mix drinks up God Steve. Oh god. No, no not that game Steve Yeah, so it's probably a good thing. We're not a camera. If we Since we're tied about this and if anybody ever that's okay. Yeah, that's okay so Between the two games, which one do you prefer to play? I don't see the thing is is they both have their their strong points and they're both totally different So it's I know it but okay. You own them both. Let's say you like not my copies are your copies Which one are you putting in your system to play when we're done with the podcast? probably play-oh-play-oh Just because play-oh-play to address Just because it's it's something that I haven't played as much of as Mario Kart Right Yeah, exactly exactly so That's probably the one I'm putting in and playing but yeah, it's it Mario Kart definitely is a fantastic game. It really is So I mean it's it's it's hard to knock that too. So well, it's one of those things I put the hell of Mario Kart 8 and I really only bought the game one because I'm gonna do a review of it But two Just because I wanted to do battle mode again.  It's it's still not it's not terrible It's just you just know in the back of your mind. Yeah, this could have been better. Mm-hmm. Yeah Whereas right now I'm poohie poohie Tetris. I Can't even think of a criticism yet Yeah, yeah, it's a puzzle game. You're gonna criticize all the puzzle works, right? You're gonna criticize all Tetris works. You can always criticize our in Jesus So it's kind of um, I mean, I guess if you don't like the art style, but yeah, there's a lot of me Yeah, no, it's kitty. It's fun. Yeah, whatever. It's meant to be for everyone and it's great that way I actually hope we protect ourselves a ton like that would be awesome Because I would like to see more more combination puzzle games like this like that's great You know, I would even like to see them do it with certain board games. Like can you imagine them bringing together like? Somehow bringing like risk and strata together in a game that be nuts or or risk and battleship Life and monopoly Like just kind of crazy combos I could do You know, I was just thinking Flappy Bird and Candy Crush together How does that work? How do you switch them between those? Oh no. Oh my god, I have a fantastic idea, but I cannot say it on here because Yeah, we need to talk about this. Oh great. This is another one of his ideas Like, okay, let me give you one of the ideas he had when he came in today He's like, oh, I talked to this buddy of mine. It's a financial guy We should start up a video game bar and I'm like, you know those exist. I'm like, yeah, but not here And I'm like, well, that's great. It would probably do well. We have no money. So how's this gonna happen? I don't know. I don't know. I guess you think I'm a great idea. It's just a great idea.  Oh See and the thing is I would be okay with it Like even taking out the loan if I could get like someone like Nikki who you know the bartender Nikki To be in on it, but she literally just bought her own bar. Oh, yeah So it's kind of like She can't be in on it because she already has her own thing going on unless I can convince her to be like, hey You bought that bar. Can we can we come in? Can we can we get like a 50% steak and turn to the video game bar? Yeah, you totally have never worked in a bar like that before but right we got we got we got we got we got We got a lot of lessons of switch units. Oh, yeah That's I mean what I'm looking for Xbox guys We'll get your Scorpios and your ps4 right. Yeah, and your gaming PCs We'll make it work. Oh, yeah, for sure. Well, we'll have we'll have rum chada dropping from the ceiling. Oh, yeah Making it rain. They get it making it rain rum chada. I'm gonna be so sticky Yes, it would All right, no, I'm not going there. No, not going there anyways so no, it's one of those things that When he has these ideas you should nothing's gonna happen So that's why I'm so afraid to share this idea that nothing's ever gonna happen with it No, no, but that I just don't want anybody steal a damn idea. Oh, yeah, yeah Well, I said I put out the idea from you that already exists. Hey, you know what? I don't know this one doesn't exist. So Okay, whatever So for me It's really weird because they're they are very different games you have a kart racer and you have a puzzle game and Part of me is like you like I'm like, I'll put you pretty touches all the way Because if it's newer, it's fresher, you know, it's taken too old, you know these puzzle games have been around for a while But like mash it all up together and the fun way it does it and all the cool different gameplay gimmicks There are is exciting, but it's exciting to me because it's fresh whereas Mario Kart like It's weird because I know like I Keep picking Tetris because I know to play Tetris I'm decent at Tetris and I'm not challenging myself. I'll put you for you like I should be doing maybe that'll happen, but It feels weird because technically I haven't experienced any of these battle modes in Mario Kart either Right, they didn't exist before coin run and shine right, but at the same boy It's like yeah, but in the choice of playing those new modes and people Tetris And it's the one of the people who Tetris more. Yeah And it feels we're saying that because I just got to say it earlier. This is the best Mario Kart game Yeah, right for sure that that probably exists period and It puts me at a weird spot because I'm gonna have you all you guys hate to make how can you pick a Casual puzzle game. Yeah over. Yeah, Mario Kart 8 blocks. Oh, as I said, there is the caveat that one I played a ton of Mario Kart 8 already, right? So some of the like grand prix stuff just doesn't appeal to me right now Yes, I know I'll probably eventually three star all this if I'm gonna do a review I got to play some of the grand prix. Come on, you know, I got to make sure that it's the same Guess what? It's the same. It's the same. I mean, well, I mean the thing is, you know There are differences like because of the extra side and the double items like see if that actually makes any difference It's still Mario Kart. I can't imagine it making much of a difference to be honest, right? But it is what it is. It is different Maybe see how the stuff affects 200 CC which was brand-new in Mario Kart 8 It's still one of those things that like I want to play them both But Puyo Puyo Tetris just feels fresh. Yep And the thing is neither one of us are even big in the puzzle games and we're just like, yeah We've been big in the Mario Kart in the past and it's just like That should just tell you how good Puyo Puyo Tetris is. Yeah, yeah, again. The initial impressions of it like, yeah This is a fun multiplayer game. If you have a buddy And you can play online with it too So you connect your switches or whatever and you guys have switches and Puyo Puyo Tetris is available on other platforms as well But it's just one of those games that man When they said it was fun at the media events like they're kidding.   I'm like, how you were down here on Tetris I'm up here on Tetris. I'm slowly coming back and all of a sudden you're like Yeah, I told you I'm terrible at Tetris but Yeah, I think I think we'll just wrap up with Heavy recommend right now. I'm Puyo Puyo Tetris. If you did not play Mario Kart 8 at all Because you didn't own a Wii U or you did and you sold it or whatever the case may you just never play the game Get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe if you like Mario Kart games because it is the best one. It really is so like it's a strong recommend on both now if you Owned a Mario Kart 8. That's a different story Because the only reason to get my credit deluxe is to play online And battle on and battle mode. What's your primarily gonna probably play online, right? Now we haven't tested it like hooking up multiple switches and everything so making sure all that works I'm sure it works fine, but we haven't done that We'll do I'll make sure I had to get that done before the review goes live But it's one of those things that if you own Mario Kart 8 and you primarily play a single player And you just love the grand prize my credit deluxe is not offering you much but you know Some new characters. Yeah a couple a couple new cards and stuff. So some different gameplay elements that don't really enhance the experience, but still It's good. It's good. It's a definitive version if you care about owning the definitive version of a Mario Kart game Then then go grab it Both games are at least so far fantastic And we haven't experienced any bugs in them yet, which is which is always great, right? But we haven't really played him all that well, I think I played a bit more of Mario Kart, but yeah I said I own them both. So it's like obviously strong recommend for them both Of course, I also only two games I haven't played yet super long and are and after birth binding of Isaac I'm binding to my sick after birth. Sorry don't want to get that wrong And I haven't played either of those games yet Which I plan to do soon and no I did not have them at launch So it's not like I just been sitting on them. Well, I mean you could forgive me if I was Yeah, right, but What's interesting Let me ask you this. This is a cool one breath of the wild or pu pu Tetris.  Yeah, we played a bunch of us a while But either one of us a hundred percent and it's a lot more to go depends if If I'm by myself It's breath of the wild all the way. Well, it's a fantastic simple, right? Well, yeah So basically when I see you it's gonna be like no no no pu Tetris Yeah, but when you're like off and you're gonna be like yeah Right and I understand that breath of the wild is a single-player game But you know when we're hanging out and I mean don't get me wrong it it's still be fun to just sit and play breath of the wild too, but as a Competitive as we are with especially with each other especially with each other Yeah, um so if if you guys are in fact On the phone with my friends dead before okay, we'll reach for my phone quick so Reason to reach for phone is because you're competitive I've got to see the results of the of the draft teams last week. Oh, yes And so the reason that we got to see the results is kind of who's our competitive we are now We didn't put any bets down on this one Which is actually unusual. It's very unusual. I think it's just it slipped my mind Yeah, yeah, and because usually we give ourselves a little bit of time to think of what we're gonna what we're gonna wager on it But I'll say this I'll put this wager right now after I go look at the one right here Whoever won this one which I can looking up right now. Yep Maybe if I can find the video Whoever won this will be able to How do I put this throughout this podcast the video version Because I'm sorry folks. I'm not putting Mario Kart 8 footage in again I don't want to wait three days to get this episode out to you because I wait on Nintendo So it's just pulling me attached with the whole time, which is gonna sound really confusing when you're right I'm gonna release this as just one segment so it would be less confusing, right? but What we're gonna do is you'll see how long the audio is and everything and we're gonna play the hell out of Puyo Puyo Tetris But everything we're gonna be doing is gonna be competitive and we're gonna be keeping tallies on who's winning what how often we're winning And who's gonna get to choose what modes we're playing is gonna be based on who won the staying pole and have the best team Okay, okay, so that that's kind of how we're gonna how we're gonna do it. So like say You're really really good at a certain one. You just want to keep doing that mode over and over again fine I guess that's what we'll do for like an hour Or maybe you'll finally get bored and decide you want to do something else but we'll keep it tally and I just said we gotta have a wager so we got to put something on it. No boy something down Yeah, I'll let you think about it. Well, I try to find gosh. Yeah, I know I was down earlier in the week For this. Yes. I know.  Oh god? What for Puyo Puyo? Yes.  I know you can't think of one thing. No, are you kidding me? No, my brain's not functioning right now. Oh my god All right, I'll tell you this This is bad. All right, whoever All right, whoever loses overall has to like the switch I've already done that. Yeah, I know I've done it too. Oh my god. Just cuz no Whoever loses It's so oh my gosh. Oh boy.  Maybe you'll find us find it in the search So Whoever loses overall on the following week podcast Towards the end again trying to keep family friendly a little bit at the end of the podcast It's to give the other person a power wedgie All right And don't worry folks will like make sure that I didn't like you're not seeing full ass going on You'll just will be like front facing the camera, but you'll see the pain.  I know I know I'm gonna have to be really was your heels Gotta get mixed right Man, I still have okay. I'm on the episode. Where's the description? Oh Got a little mobile. Yeah, here we go. So who so the person who's gonna control what version we play I will vote for myself quick. Oh, yeah Is me. Yeah, the winner is Link's paradise with seven votes to total domination with five. Yep Yeah, so nobody else voted for though. It was six to four. Oh, so we had two of two more votes Which Thank you for the win. Yeah, this is just foreshadowing the win I'm gonna have this upcoming or during this whole podcast because right now we're as we're recording We don't know who won yeah, right So punishment that we're probably bring up right away at the beginning of the next podcast Which we'll have to get Darren and some other people in just yeah, they can't they won't see it But they'll hear the pain Oh This is gonna be a rough one.

Hi, I'm Tia Kennedy. I'm of the Wolf Clan. My pronouns are she and her. I'm a part of the Four of the Love of Creation delegation, and I come from two First Nations communities, Oneida Nation of the Thames and Wampool Island First Nation. These are located in Turtle Island, which is now known as Canada. I am studying Public Administration and Governance at Toronto Metropolitan University. I carry both Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe teachings. As an active member of my community, I advocate for fairness and justice for my people. Currently, I do this in different ways by uplifting voices, empowering Indigenous youth, education, consulting, policy, and film. I currently work at the Assembly of First Nations in the health sector as a policy analyst, and I've recently finished filming a short documentary on the water crisis for First Nations communities. Climate change is affecting much more than my work and people that work in my region. It's affecting my identity, my culture, my community, right before our faces. My work is just one single component. It intersects across various social determinants.  It's difficult to focus on developing health policy when the health of our planet is so scarce. How can we manage to heal ourselves when we can't heal the Earth? Without her medicines, we will perish. In regards to climate change, we need land back. Indigenous peoples deserve more than just a seat at the table. They should be leading the conversations with diverse communities when it comes to climate change solutions. Indigenous peoples have the longest standing relationship with Mother Earth and the necessary values to affect meaningful and quick change. We view the Earth as our mother rather than a resource for monetary gain. Those are the people that should be leading these conversations because the solutions have always been here. But unfortunately, our current governments are not willing to make the necessary changes and have a history of excluding Indigenous peoples in decision-making forums about the land while also failing to uphold restrictions and holding corporations accountable to the degradation of our ecosystems.


Alright guys, took a break in the bathroom, went and got something to eat, came back, and now Travis is gonna let us know what's one interesting thing he does in the bedroom. It's not even interesting though really, just I like eye contact, that's kinda cool. I like that. I like filming it, that's cool. I do that. I end up deleting it though.  That's me though. Like I'm like 12. Yeah. That felt great. That's why I wanted to give you that curb hug. That was like that traveling hug. It was, see she hugged me like a 36 year old aunt that I haven't seen in like 12 years? I was sitting there like, man I'm like, I'll just get back in the car and leave now. I mean did you come here to have sex? Talk about sex. Why are people men in specific so interested in your sex life? It's kinda like probably a mystery to them because I don't really say it too much and I claim to be a virgin online.   It's not true then. I am a virgin. I don't claim anything. I am, it's the truth.  No. When did you lose your virginity? And that could be like if you wanna backtrack that to when you lost it to yourself, that's also a really great place to start. I didn't know what I was doing. I just knew that I'd like had feelings in my body. So I was like humping the bed or whatever, like kinda like rubbing and caressing against it. And then like my hand got involved or whatever. And then all of a sudden I just got this feeling where it just wouldn't stop. And it just, I didn't know what was going on. And then that's when I was some nice helicopter. But I thought I broke it. And I was just scared. I didn't know it was my first time. I didn't know what happened. I went to the bathroom and I was like cleaning it up. And I was like super scared. And I was like, what is this?  And I tried to like pee it out. Cause I was like, get out of me. I didn't know what the rest was. I didn't know if there was like still something in me. And I was, I was freaked out. But then like the next day I was addicted. The next day. I was addicted after that. Like I couldn't, I was like 11 or like, I don't know. But after that day, everything on TV, anything I could use became a tool for me. You became born at 11 years old. Most people like around 14. Like they tried for the first time. I was like in elementary I was, I just never knew how to express it. I always just be like, I remember we had a teacher's aide in, I was even my third or my fourth grade class.  And I was like, I know what those are. And I liked them. Why not watch a lot of porn? Because I feel like it gives you like this false expectation of stuff. Like with certain girls, they don't know how to do or just not. As experienced as the ones that you're watching. So you're expecting that. And when it comes to the real thing, you're like, so you kind of get too involved in that. And you're like, I wish I'd have this. So it's like, you're not really connected with her. Cause. Give me one example.  You watch a porn and they're like extra sloppy with it and doing all this like upside down carnival tricks and stuff like that. Not really what you give what I'm saying.  Like it's just like real boring.  What's one thing that women, one mistake women make often when it comes to getting oral sex? Keep letting it be dry. Like that is horrible. I hate it.  And this is horrible. Like I feel like the best thing you could do is keep it wet, use your hand. Keep it wet and use your hand. A lot. So then you kind of learned over time, like how things work best for you. So now what role does porn play in your current life? It's like recreational, like if I'm bored or if I don't want to make like the wrong decision with somebody, like I'm kind of like guessing like should I do this or should I not? Then I'll go to that and just clear my mind first before I end up making a decision that I'll regret later. Okay, this backtrack. So you masturbated at 11 and then you had an addiction problem to porn.  No, it wasn't like that. Like I was just like the first time it was just I was just excited that it happened. How old were you? 17. 17?  That was held you over.  So as a young man, how would you compare sex then to your experience in sex now as a grown man?  I really didn't know what I was doing. I was just kind of going in same position every single time or the same two positions. I'm more into foreplay now, like a lot more into that. But it depends who it is.  If not, I really honestly don't even like doing that. I like just getting top. But there's been times where I was just like doing it like thinking about what I need to eat. If I took my vitamins that day, like where my shoes are at or how I'm gonna get out of here or start thinking like how I'm gonna say like I'm trying to think of how I should say this cause then like Is it fake orgasms? No, I'd never have.  But I was gonna say, I don't wanna give away something. Give it. There's something that I say that I'm like if somebody watches this, then I say that in front of them it's gonna be like You never watch it, trust me. Trust me, they won't. That's yeah, every time somebody says that I end up getting texted like so what is this? I always think of like my escape route with stuff. Like I'll be like, oh wow, I gotta be somewhere or yeah, I didn't know it was this late but I just tried to get out of there knowing down where I'm about to just go get some food and sit in the parking lot and eat just cause I didn't want to take her with me and then like feed her too. It's not about the money, it's like I just don't want to spend more time with that person cause like sometimes I'll do it and be annoyed to that person instantly. That's why I feel like you shouldn't just do it with anybody. There's some people you've had sex with that you would like cross a highway to avoid saying hi to. Yeah, for sure, for sure. 100%, thousand percent. They're running through my mind right now as you say that.  I feel like I lusted strongly after I don't know about love, I've never loved anybody, but You've never loved anybody? You've never loved anybody? A woman other than like my mom and family.  Like I said, I've liked people like super tough but I got over it super like quick. It was just like more so like. There's a lot of love to give in this section of red on sheer. Okay, so I'm going to list a bunch of different kinks and fetishes.  No, thumbs up if you've done it. Thumbs down if you're not into it. Thumbs sideways if you might try it. Abuse, sexual, emotional, violent to you. So I'm just being tied up, way up to maybe being called names. All right, abduction, being taken away.  Age differences, somebody. 100%. Age regression. What's that? Pretending to be a baby, breaking a diaper. No, no, no. That's a major thing, you know that? To be a baby? There's actually a store, a brick and mortar store in Chicago where people can go for this. It's called infantilism.  But like it's not, it's not, it's not pedophilia.   With an object, but plugs, but bees. To me? Yes. No. Okay. Animalistic behaviors. Like acting like a dog? Or a cat. That's funny, so I feel like I would just for like shits and giggles, that's funny.  You know when you were 17, 80? Oh yeah, that's me anyway, so. Yeah. All right, BDSM. I don't know what that is. You don't know what BDSM is? I probably do, but. Cock and ball torture. No, I'm good. You want to hear about it first or? No. Squat force!


It is freaking cold. It's day number four. We are looking at negative 22 Negative 22.2 right now still dropping a little bit It's been up and down for the last couple hours a couple clicks here and there the coldest I've seen was 23 and that is the coldest I've ever seen Winter camping in my tent. I had the heater on low all night So it is probably zero degrees in here.  It's gonna warm up in here quite a bit That definitely changes the plans for today when things happen You always have to adjust your plans always try to make your situation better negative 23 is a little bit dangerous Add 20 mile an hour winds and it's super super dangerous. We're talking wind chill I don't even know how cold maybe 50 60 below. I'd have to check the conversion chart, but in those temperatures Your exposure time To that weather is super super low So you have to be super careful. You're gonna get frostbite. You could get hurt The other thing is if I go far where I want to go toad fishing or I want to go brook trout fishing That puts me far away from a heat source that puts me far away from a safe source Which is my tent and also further from my truck too So say I get buried in the slush or say I the snowmobile breaks down or say I I get hurt the situation gets really Really bad gotta use my brain a little bit. I'm gonna fish from the tent today in this area out here for brook trout Don't think it's a great area, but how the heck do I know? I thought I was in the great area yesterday, and I didn't catch anything. So yeah, I'm gonna fish from the tent today Sip some coffee and probably read a book in a little bit closer to 30 degree temps inside the temp Let's get some breakfast in me She is pretty still out here today Got so cold last night around 3 in the morning I woke up to the trees were actually popping and cracking from freezing So I knew it was at least 20 below at that point, and I looked over and it said 23 below It's usually like the spruce and the fir trees the sap inside of them or the water inside of them will actually freeze at that Temperature and crack it's kind of a neat sound to hear those things popping the ice cracked a couple times last night, too But not too much and then you don't hear anything for animals or birds or anything like that when it's this cold They go in a straight survival mode that they've learned from a hundred thousand years of survival and modifications So that way they can survive the cold so like the partridge when it gets this cold or rough grouse Whatever you want to call them wherever you live They actually go under the snow and use the snow as an insulator to live through these really cold nights and Most things burrow into the ground or the snow when it's this cold Frosty and caress It ain't warmed up much. We're still looking at 20 below zero, so let's see if the sled's gonna fire up What do you guys think? I'm thinking I'm gonna have to pull start ever. We'll see it is cold as for Yeah, it's cold. I'm gonna fish from camp today The tree popping Still getting colder So I got all five sets in probably one in about two foot of water one and four foot the others are all like six to eight foot All pretty good ranges for brook trout. I I only have two small only have two small shiners in play and the other three are all pretty big stuff A lot bigger than most people would use for brook trout, but I'm going for big and My bait is not doing well. I'm gonna bring the bait in put it near the heater It's starting to freeze up pretty bad. All right, we're fishing fishing from home She's moving much nothing there There's definitely nothing there other than my bait. He looks like he's been swallowed and spit out Well, that was exciting. It's a pretty big Shiner Wow, he's chewed right up cool, I Might have to put a little bit smaller Shiner on this one We'll let that sit for a minute With that chewed up bait. He's still alive, but he ain't doing too well and Maybe I'll switch out to a little bit smaller bait if it doesn't go back up in a little while I want to show you these tracks that came through this morning Pretty cool. I just took a quick look at them. We're gonna have to figure them out for ourselves I thought originally they might have been a fisher cat like carrying something in its mouth What it kind of looks like Normally if you see that drag mark in the belly you think otter, but this is way too small for an otter even a small otter and there's quite a few tracks where it's Just footprints, so let's take a look It could be an otter.  Let's look at the prints That would help a lot. There's one displayed right now Otter have a pretty good web in their toe Yeah, it's either It was either a fisher carrying a rabbit or it could have been a small otter I guess if it was an otter it's one of the smaller ones I've ever seen I Got my bait to throw out a little bit. I still have a bunch of bait alive I did lose a handful one two three four five six seven eight eight or so there and my my little air Bubbler's right there. I got to get that back so I'm gonna chop that baby up That's the guy we need guys it is brutally brutally slow fishing right now for me. The wind is absolutely howling I'm glad I decided to stay at the home base camp and fish from the shack today Even though I'm in the lee here anywhere else I'd go. I'm pretty much smoked and I'm glad that I made that decision I don't have a ton of experience on moose head lake, but I do have one story I'd like to share with you. We used to come up as a big group from my town My community used to have like I think it was like a dozen guys would go on this ice fishing trip Every Martin Luther King weekend and we'd go to different lakes all around the state It was really a lot of fun and we had people maybe in their upper 70s and people in their 20s So it was a really good mix of people a lot of uh blue collar working men one year We came to moose head. We were staying in rockwood over by kinio and the wind was howling the very first day I was the only guy who got out on the ice and I remember my traps actually blew out of the hole And flew across the ice because it was glare ice and the only thing that stopped them from ending up in greenville Was the hook caught on the ice and the reel was still going and I had to fight it.  It always is on moose head these mountains around the lake up here They really do make their own weather But that same trip I think we got out like the second or third day We brought a hard shack made out of like aluminum and metal And wood and we were bringing it out. We're gonna fish right under kinio Like where it would block the wind and everything and it's just a cool place to fish anyway One of the elders on the group bob walker Bless his soul. He's not with us anymore, but he was one of the great guys of our community He was the volunteer fire department chief forever He was a plumber electrician could do anything always helped everybody that he could and just a great all-around guy Always had just a great sense of humor His son Darren and I went to school together So Darren and I were always on the trip as well and bob the funny thing was bob never ever ever left the ice shack Darren would set all of his traps for him and he would tend all of his traps for him And he'd catch all the fish for him too. Bob probably won that fishing derby that we all threw five bucks in bob Probably won that like I don't know five or six times. He never left the shack So it was the funniest thing But that particular trip we're going across the lake and the wind's blowing like 50 probably And we get over to where we're gonna fish and somebody unhooks the shack and bob's still in it and the wind catches it And it's just glare ice and the shack takes off at like 35 miles an hour down the lake with the skis under it No snow there's patches of snow here and there so it could catch and just roll right over And I remember chasing after them on the snowmills There was like three of us chasing after the shack and there was this little tiny eight by eight window on the door And bob couldn't open the door because that's the way the shack was blowing So he couldn't even open the door and jump out before the thing took a tumble Because he would have gotten run over and all you could see in that window was bob's face and his eyes were about like that big As that shack took off and luckily it was somebody with one of the faster sleds got ahead of it And kind of slowed it down and brought it to a stop. But yeah, that's one of my favorite Moosehead lake memories and memories of bob too. We got a flag up It's that same flag that was up earlier. I put a smaller bait on there. So hopefully the fish would eat it this time It is ripping wind out there. So I'm going to suit up Let's go get them Turn down this sandwich that's cooking Got a hot roast beef we're going right now Let's go catch it a brook trout Nice brook trout boys and girls awesome I think he might be in that slot Let's get a measurement on him Can't keep them Between 18 and 22 Yep. No, that one's got to go back. It's 20 inches That's awesome. That's a couple pounder right there All right, he hasn't been out very long. What we're going to do we're going to check for the hook real quick It's deep enough.  I am so friggin stoked right now guys Sucks that I got thrown back.  I'm stoked. I'm I'm so pumped right now Thanks for viewing guys. This day isn't over yet. Maybe we'll get another one I don't know but it's getting nasty and windy and ripping out here I don't know if you could see but there's a haze Out there what that haze is is that is the wind ripping I'm tucked in this corner the best spot I could possibly be on the lake But it is friggin howling it's still coming around and it's just swirling right now. So I'm going to get back in the shack and Trying to warm up a little bit Guys, I just caught my biggest brook trout ever I'm so stoked. It has been a Brutally hard trip on me the three things I told you that we're going to be really tough on any of these wilderness camping trips or Winter camping trips as I should say in this case because I'm just on moosehead Our wind extreme cold and slush and guess what we hit all of them Got them all it's blowing like 35 to 40 out there. It was 22 below zero this morning It is eight below zero right now And there's pockets of slush everywhere it almost ruined my trip and almost lost my snowmobile in it for the year but drew the hard times and the hard work Two flags today the first one took my big bait chewed on it spit it And I reset that trap after an hour putting that same bait down with a little smaller bait And it's been she's probably four or five hours. No flags. I'm really starting to question my ability as a fisherman and the lake And that flag goes up. So just to give you a heads up that was in six or seven foot of water I set the bait about three foot down I like to I like to do that for what I call like a kill zone when you're in that kind of depth of water So you're not on the bottom because you're not going for bottom feeders But you're in a zone where they could still find it It's not right under the surface where they might miss it if they're on the bottom And they might not swim above it either if you're three foot down and it kind of leaves them out there like a sitting duck so so yeah that thing ran like I don't know 40 yards got hung up and something I set the hook and I felt the fish But then it like kind of stopped and it wasn't just the fish stopping me It was around like a rock or something. So I'm super fortunate to have caught that fish And I'm pumped I reset it and the wind's howling even harder now and I'm back in the shack Good idea for today For once I'm going to pat myself in the back for making the right decision And hopefully we get another flag guys. I just went and checked a couple more and And dug the ice out of the holes All right guys end of day four Another awesome day kind of feel like the weather's kind of tying my hands a little bit here Not not being able to just go out wherever I want one. I gotta be safe too I gotta be somewhat comfortable in negative 22 degree weather with uh 30 mile hour winds It ended up working out pretty darn good because I caught my personal best biggest brook trout I've ever caught 20 inches according to the slot limit on this lake anything between 18 and 22 has to go Right back. So it went right back which hey that fish is gonna if it keeps growing It's gonna get really big which is cool because I'd love to catch one 24 25 26 inches too And I like catching 20 inches to be honest with you plan for tomorrow is not Solidified yet. I think I want to go catch some lake trout if I can get out there It's supposed to be windy again But each day I noticed the wind really didn't start till like 11 and then it just came ripping in each day The last two days so tomorrow supposed to be a little less wind than today I have a feeling tonight's gonna get like pretty cold because it is already It's already three below zero So we're a little bit ahead of schedule that we were on last night So it might get as cold as last night or colder. We'll see if the weather's decent I'm gonna take a ride tomorrow morning into some deeper water I looked around here out in the front of lily bay and I didn't get much deeper than like 35 foot and Didn't find any fish at all I found one little tiny school of yellow perch at like 38 foot, which was the deepest I think I was So I think I need to get in some deeper water to get a really good toke bite So I'm gonna head over to deer island Maybe whiskey island and see if there's some deeper water off that where there's some decent toke If I can if I can be mobile if not. Hey, I'll brook trout fish around here again And then tomorrow night I think I'm gonna go to town and meet a buddy to fish a remote spot on Saturday But that's not ironed out yet either. So we'll see what happens all up in the air Looking forward to a decent comfortable night tonight. Get a little reading in and have an awesome day tomorrow Thanks for tuning in guys. See you then


Farmers can use the number of teeth in the mouth of sheep and goats to estimate the age of the animal. This is a useful technique when purchasing animals and can assist with record keeping. Goats and sheep only have front teeth on the bottom jaw and are called incisor teeth. There are two stages of teeth, baby or juvenile teeth which erupt during the first month with one pair of teeth for each week. At the end of the first four weeks or month after birth, the young kid or lamb should have four pairs of baby incisors. The video is demonstrating a three week old lamb, one, two, three baby or juvenile teeth that are small in size. As the animal grows older and approaches one to one and a half years old, they will lose the baby tooth in the middle of the incisors and this is replaced by an adult pair of incisors. One pair of adult teeth equal to one to one and a half years old. As the animal turns to two, two and a half years old, they will lose the second pair of baby incisors which again will be replaced by adult incisors. A two year old will have two pairs of adult incisors, one, two adult incisors. A three year old will have one, two, three pairs of adult incisors. A four year old will have one, two, three, four pairs of adult incisors. After four years old and all the adult incisors are in place, the teeth will begin to show where as the animal ages past five to six years old. Some teeth may even begin to shake. After eight years of age and depending on the forage or grasses that the goat consumes, some goats may lose all their teeth. A sheep or goat with no teeth suggests that the animal has significant age.

To build the kinds of roadways we need in our state, we have to carefully design and construct layers of different materials to form strong, stable, and durable pavements. Typically, the top layers of our roadways consist of asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete constructed over aggregate base courses. We refer to the construction of these aggregate courses as surfacing placement. The same basic methods are used in placing gravel base, ballast, and crushed surfacing for both new and existing construction. An alternate type of surfacing is asphalt treated base, or ATB. But its construction is more like asphalt paving. So it's covered in another training course. The inspection of surfacing placement is necessary to ensure that acceptable material is used. That is, the right type of aggregate, having the proper gradation and quality. The inspection is also necessary to verify that the subgrade is acceptable before the surfacing is placed on it, and that the surfacing is then placed to the correct lines, grades, and cross sections. Testing is part of your inspection, too. It's needed to verify that the required depths and densities are achieved in the surfacing. Documentation and communication are other integral parts of inspection. No doubt about it, surfacing placement does demand your attention. If the surfacing isn't constructed properly, the whole roadway will suffer. As I said a minute ago, acceptable material is of prime concern. The requirements for the different aggregates used in gravel bases, ballasting, and crushed surfacing are in Division 9 of the standard specifications and in Chapter 9 of the construction manual. Stated briefly, the aggregates for gravel bases consist of screened for naturally occurring gravel. Aggregates for ballast consist of crushed, partially crushed, for naturally occurring granular material. And aggregates for crushed surfacing must be manufactured from ledge rock, talus, or gravel. Now let's look at your preliminary inspection concerns, starting with the aggregate sources. At the beginning of each project, a request for approval of material sources must be submitted by the contractor for all materials. Before any aggregate is used on the job, approval of its source must be obtained from the headquarters materials lab. You need to be sure that source approval has been given and that a copy of the form is on file at the project office. In addition, if the source of aggregate changes during the job, see to it that the contractor submits a new request for approval and that the new source is approved before any material from the new source is used on the project. Since the point of acceptance for the aggregate is either as it's placed in the stockpile or as it's loaded into haul trucks, you should go to the pit or quarry and check the setup. If the aggregate to be used is already stockpiled, visually inspected to see if there's any contamination or other problems. And since the aggregate has to meet gradation and quality specifications before it's used, be sure that the required field tests are conducted as soon as possible. Next, make sure you have the help you'll need to handle all the inspection and testing duties. Notify your supervisor when the surfacing placement is about to begin and tell him that you'll need a scale person ticket writer, a ticket receiver, and a density inspector to work with you. The surfacing aggregate will be weighed either in the haul trucks on a truck scale or by a belt scale as it's discharged from the plant. Check to see that the scale certification is up to date. Look for a current sticker. Every six months or whenever the scales are moved, the contractor must get his scale certified and stamped. Division one of the specs contains additional scale requirements. Project layout is another preliminary concern. First, you should check the roadway cross sections and note the length of the job to see if the planned quantities of aggregate will be sufficient. The surveying will be done sometimes by the contractor's crew, sometimes by the department crew, and sometimes by you. Make sure that stakes and hubs to control the alignment and grade are set properly according to stationing or mile posts as required. On this project, hubs with turkey tails attached to their tops are set along the center line and shoulder lines to indicate the finished grade of the base course. Go over the plans carefully. Check the drainage adjustments in particular and review the miscellaneous details thoroughly. Yet another preliminary concern before the work begins is approval of the contractor's equipment on the project. The equipment to be used depends in part on whether the operation will involve the central plant mix method or the road mix method. Both are described in the specs, but the road mix method is the one we'll look at here. Be sure to inspect the equipment according to the specification requirements. It should be in good condition and be able to do the job properly. Look especially at the spreading equipment. During the job, you'll take both acceptance samples for field casting and assurance samples to send to the district lab according to the frequencies given in the construction manual. But before the work begins, you should notify the independent assurance samplers. After the work is underway, they'll come out to the project to obtain samples for the headquarters lab. More on sampling and testing later. There's one more preliminary concern to check the subgrade slope and condition. The subgrade must be approved prior to placing surfacing. Its surface must not deviate more than plus 500 foot from the grade established by the subgrade blue tops. You can check this conformance to grade in various ways, string line, rod and level, straight edge or swedes. As for condition, the subgrade surface should be smooth and compacted to density specifications. Look for bumps, depressions or soft areas. Any such defective areas should be repaired before surfacing placement begins. Be certain that no aggregate is placed on poor quality subgrade. Some subgrade problems such as pumping may not show up until loaded trucks drive over them. These may require more extensive repair efforts such as French drains or digouts and construction fabric. In any case, document all subgrade problems and inform your supervisor. The project engineer will determine the solutions and issue a change order to cover any needed work. Now let's look at your duties during production. First, the aggregate is weighed on a belt scale at the plant or in the haul trucks on commercial or contractor scales. The scale person ticket writer has to ensure accurate weighings of the loaded trucks. Periodically throughout the day, this person must check to see that the scale is balanced and returns to zero. The scale person also should determine at least once each day if the scale is operating within one half of 1% of the weighed load. The ticket receiver must collect the ticket from each driver. For safety, be sure the truck stopped completely for the ticket receiver to take and initial the tickets. In addition to the initials, the receiver should verify the time the load is received and the location. And also check the item numbers and quantity totals. The yield also must be checked frequently to avoid wasting material. By keeping track of the amounts of aggregate in the trucks and the distances over which they're spread, you can figure the yield easily. Be aware that the department observes only the legal load limits. So if there are any overages at the point of loading, the scale person should tell the contractor and give him the opportunity to offload the excess weight. If the contractor doesn't want to offload the excess weight, the ticket receiver should cross out the actual weights right in the legal limits and initial the changes. This project calls for placing a crushed surfacing base course, followed by a crushed surfacing top course, each with a different gradation of aggregate. So be sure the right material is placed for each course. You'll need to monitor the aggregate supply, making sure that the correct stockpiles of aggregate are being used and that they're sampled and tested according to the construction manual's frequencies. The aggregate for each layer of surfacing has to be hauled to the roadway in approved hauling equipment, such as bottom dump trucks, with either longitudinal or transverse spreading capability. You should know, however, that the combination of longitudinal and transverse spreading equipment is not permitted in the same section of a project as determined by the engineer. On this job, the contractor spots the placement of each truck load of aggregate on the road by placing a delineator post to mark the beginning of the spread. He does this by referring to the spread stakes, set at stations along the shoulder line. The truck driver starts dumping his load at the post, spreading the aggregate up to the end of the previous load placed. So the truck's haul, place, and partially spread the aggregate. But motor graders complete the spreading by working the aggregate back and forth across the roadway in several passes until it's evenly and uniformly placed. The spreading of aggregate on small areas of less than 2,000 square yards or on irregularly shaped areas may be done by other means approved by the engineer. Still, you need to ensure that the aggregate is spread with minimal segregation and to the correct line, grade, and depth of course. The depth placed for any course should be as shown in the plans and should not exceed the maximum depths given in the specs. For ballast, five-tenths of a foot. For gravel base, 7,500s of a foot. And for crust surfacing, 3,500s of a foot. These are the nominal depths of compacted material and are not to be exceeded without the engineer's approval. The greater operators control the width and depth of spread by blading to the hubs set along the center line and both shoulder lines. The turkey tails can be seen by the operators even when the hubs are slightly covered over during the spreading. As the aggregate is spread, visually check its overall gradation. Even though the gradation may be okay at the point of acceptance, the aggregate may become segregated during hauling, placing, or spreading. Segregation is indicated by concentrations of course or fine material as you see here. Problem may be corrected when the graders blade the material back and forth because of the mixing that occurs. But if the problem isn't corrected by the blading, the base course will end up being unstable. Traffic running over it will displace the loose aggregate and cause failure. So look out for segregation at all times. Also look for any foreign objects in the spread aggregate. Plant matter, pieces of wood, lumps of soil or clay, or other debris, are contaminants that will produce defective areas in the surfacing if not detected and removed. Water is applied as needed during surfacing placement to replace the moisture lost by evaporation. The water makes the aggregate easier to mix and spread, holds down the dust, and is necessary to achieve compaction. Now the compaction of the surfacing is accomplished by both the haul trucks being routed effectively over the roadway in the use of vibratory compactors and rollers. Water should continue to be applied as needed during compaction to keep the base moist so that adequate density can be obtained. The completed layer should have a smooth, tight, uniform surface, reasonably true to the line, grade, and cross-section shown in the plans. This project calls for a bituminous surface treatment Class A to be constructed on the crushed surfacing top course. So the completed surface is left in the fluffed up condition that will allow it to be penetrated by the prime coat of asphalt. You'll need to check the depth of the surfacing by digging holes in the completed courses and measuring down to the top of the previous course from a straight edge. Density testing must be conducted according to the frequencies in chapter nine of the construction manual. The testing will be done by the nuclear gauge for a Washington densometer. You'll have to monitor both the tests and the results. The density inspector, of course, should document them thoroughly. When areas of the surfacing fail density tests, you must notify the contractor and ensure that the problem areas are corrected and that retests are made before paving takes place. Throughout surfacing placement, maintain good communication with the plant inspector, the scale person, and the density inspector. Make sure that everyone is fully aware of individual duties, the scheduled work hours, and the necessary forms to complete. And never forget to communicate with the contractor too. Advise him immediately of unacceptable material, faulty equipment or work methods, and deficient areas of surfacing. Document the work thoroughly, neatly, and accurately by completing the inspector's daily report, depth check records, and daily compaction reports. One very important duty related to safety is traffic control. Be sure that the contractor follows an approved traffic control plan. The department supplies the signs, the contractor furnishes the other devices, including any flaggers. You need to be sure that flaggers are certified. Finally, your post-production responsibilities include compiling final quantities, mainly by checking the tickets and totalling the cubic yards or tons of aggregate placed. And that brings us to the end of this presentation on surfacing placement. High quality aggregate construction won't happen by itself. It requires the contractor's best efforts and your dedicated inspection of every facet of the job.


Hi everyone! Welcome back to another video this time featuring a couple fashion illustrations using the Fashionary Watercolor Postcard set. I haven't done fashion illustration videos here on my channel for the longest time. If you've been a longtime subscriber of mine you definitely would have been around the old fashion illustration videos so I'm pretty excited to actually be sharing this video with you guys because I'm hoping that it will kickstart more fashion illustration related videos here on my channel in the future. Fingers crossed! I will also be unboxing a new Fashionary product here on this video so stay tuned for that it actually inspired the illustrations that you are seeing right now. If you guys didn't know I am actually an affiliate of Fashionary so I do want to thank Fashionary for sending over the new product. I also have a discount code which you guys can use for any purchase of a Fashionary product on their website so the code is Zyra10. It gives you 10% off your entire purchase of Fashionary products on their website Fashionary.org and if you didn't know what Fashionary is they're basically known for their amazing sketchbooks which I have made a review video on so I will link that in the cards section of this video so you guys can check it out if you are interested. But that will not be the topic of today's video. Today's video I am featuring their latest product which they just launched this October. It is called textile pedia and it is a complete guide for everything that has to do with fabrics and textiles. So let's start with the unboxing then I'll kind of give you an impression that I have with the book any positive or negative reviews that I have for it and then I will also talk about how this relates to my second university degree which is costume design. Now with the packaging so the book comes in this cute drawstring bag which I think is a nice added touch for their packaging I'm not entirely sure if all Fashionary products come in this packaging but I have received a previous product from Fashionary as well that came in a drawstring bag and it was very useful I use it a lot for traveling so I love this nice touch. Inside the bag there's the book and there's also this blue plastic sleeve which contains their limited edition silk printed scarf it is so soft so gorgeous and I absolutely love the illustrations that are printed on the scarf it is amazing. Unfortunately they only actually have this scarf as a freebie to the first 1000 customers to purchase textile pedia but Fashionary just yesterday announced that all 1000 scarves are gone so if you're planning to purchase textile pedia from today and in the future you won't be getting the limited edition silk scarf unfortunately it's so beautiful I wish that you guys can have it as well when you're purchasing the book. However the book is amazing on its very own it's got this beautiful fabric cover an embroidered title which from a design perspective I think they just nailed it it's totally fitting to the theme of the book and it looks Instagram worthy you could use it as a decoration for your library your coffee table your shelf your workspace your office your studio it's just gorgeous so they also have the sides painted in this blue color because I think that's the theme that they have for this particular book they also have the pages which have the blue text printed on them as well as the chapter pages in this beautiful blue color and then the pages are also really thick which I feel like just set a new standard when it comes to books like this because the fact that the pages are thick just makes it feel like it's high quality inside the book there's also high quality images of the fabrics and the different materials that they talk about such as the different fibers and things like that now the book does not include actual real fabrics inside the pages that's just not possible especially for mass production so they only offer high quality prints however I do really like the fact that they've laid it out in such a way that it shows you the texture the thickness they've included more than one example of some of the fabrics in different colors and different patterns things like that I thought it was just really helpful one thing that I wish that they could have added as well that would be very helpful for me and I'm not sure if this would be helpful for other people as well I think it will but if they could have included images of dresses or shirts or furniture that were made by designers or people using a specific fabric for example if they had a page on organza they have the swatch there they have the application on how this fabric is commonly used whether it's used for gowns for dresses this that blah blah blah and then if they also had images underneath that of an organza dress or an organza shirt or I don't know and then having that kind of just helps me visualize the fabric in a larger scale as well because you do have a swatch but even though knowing that it's lightweight or it's heavyweight it would still be nice to really see it in its true application so like I said I don't know if that would be helpful for other people but it would definitely be helpful for me and the reason why this came up is because I was actually creating the illustrations inspired by textile pedia I decided to grab some fabrics that I saw on textile pedia fabrics that I've never heard of in my entire life and I was trying to search for a dress that I could illustrate I was on Pinterest and I just type in the fabric name and then I put the word dress or gown right after it and then I click search now a lot of the images that were showing up did not have the name of the fabric in the description which kind of makes sense I don't know maybe a lot of people didn't really know that the fabric existed as well but it just made it hard for me to visualize what the fabric would look like as a gown or as a dress so that's just my two cents either way I do think that textile pedia offers a lot of information and really good information especially if you are within the field of fashion fashion design or costume design so if you are interested in purchasing textile pedia as well as any products from fashionaries such as the postcard that I'm using in this video or the sketchbook that I mentioned earlier in this video I will link all of those in the description box and you can definitely use my code which is Xyra 10 shown here on the screen for 10% off your entire purchase on their website that's 10% off using my code Xyra 10 and once again those are all in the description box down below so like I said earlier in the video I will be talking about my experience with costume design as a degree and that kind of ties in with textile pedia because that's one of the reasons why I wanted to own this book in the first place. Vicky from Fashionary contacted me about a product that they were trying to launch and if I was interested and I was like yes please I am currently studying my second university degree this time it is on costume design and we had this assignment in my costume making class where we had to analyze a costume render from a costume designer and identify the fabrics that they wanted the costume made of after that we then had to source the fabric find out information about said fabric and more specifically information on how you can actually make the costume with the fabric sewing techniques other techniques that you would need specifically for that fabric so that information I had to research and I'm not very good at researching so it was very hard for me to actually do the assignment and when I found out about this product I was like I wish I had this when doing my assignment it would have made it so much easier to have one source of information that is all about fabrics I was trying to find information on the internet and it was from a lot of different sources here and there and I was also basing it around information that I knew so I could only really search for fabrics that I knew existed I didn't know half of the fabric types that was mentioned in textile pedia and they would have been useful for my assignment had I known they existed in the first place so that is why I wanted to actually have textile pedia in my possession because I think it will be very useful for me with this degree I highly doubt that that would be the first and last kind of fabric sourcing costume assignment that we do so I'm looking forward to future assignments where I can just bust this out bring this to my university when we're out of lockdown here in Melbourne and use it as a guide for assignments like that in the future and I think it'll also be very helpful for me as I try to establish a career in that field now I haven't really talked about this new degree here on my channel and I'm not entirely sure if that's something that you guys are interested in listening to I know a lot of people back then requested for me to do videos talking about my experience with architecture which was my very first degree I didn't really talk about that because it is sad to say but also long story short I am not an architect I did not end up as an architect I am working as a freelance graphic designer so I didn't really make use of that degree so that's kind of long forgotten but anyway some people also requested for me to talk about my experience with graphic design and I did briefly but that video didn't really do well so now I'm kind of like curious if you guys would actually like to see a video of me talking about my experience with costume design and my experience with university at the moment I would like to include that in a studio vlog here and there but I'm not entirely sure if that's content that you guys are willing to see so let me know in the comments down below and maybe I can share my experience any thoughts that I have so far with that degree I don't see a lot of videos specifically about costume design so I think that that would be some great content that I can contribute here on YouTube I am also doing costume design specifically for live theater or live performance it's different to study costume design for film those are two different mediums but as a costume designer for live performance I can also do costume design for film and television and vice versa I believe so yeah like I said let me know if you guys would like to see more content from me regarding that topic now with the illustrations like I said I wanted to illustrate fabrics that I saw from the textile pedia book and because I was having a hard time actually searching for the fabrics that I wanted to include I decided to just go for the basic ones that I already knew it was just easier to find dresses for reference and that's what we ended up with there are only two videos that you are seeing for the illustrations but so far I have made four and I kind of want to continue making a few more post them on Instagram and also post them on my shop as original postcards or original watercolor postcards so maybe you want to purchase an original art for me but the only ones that I have there are around the 100 ranges this one's going to be a lot cheaper than that because it's relatively small so I will be putting that up in my shop as well as other other ones or other illustrations that I create in the future also just on that topic as well I am currently preparing for a new shop update with a lot of products coming to you guys next month hopefully just before the year ends so stay tuned for that and with everyone that's purchased from my shop I just want to say thank you so much for your support towards my art and this thing that I'm trying to establish here I really really appreciate it and I think that's about it for me with this video so I'm just going to end that there and thank you guys for watching this video and I hope that you liked it if you did don't forget to give it a thumbs up comment down below what you thought of this product of the illustrations or of content that you would like to see from me in the future don't forget to subscribe push that notification button so you know when I upload next and also feel free to share this video that truly helps me out to get my channel back up and running so thank you so much for watching my video and I will see you in my next one

Okay, May 40 here. So I was just listening to Richard Spencer's discussion on influences About the one hour 13 minute mark He says that when Alon Musk takes over Twitter, nothing will change Nothing will change. I mean Richard is tremendously entertaining now. I appreciate that he's a compelling character and Let's have a look here at the Sydney Harbour Bridge, man Iphone's not reacting as smoothly as I hoped. Anyway, he says when Alon Musk takes over Twitter, nothing much will change. I Don't think that prediction is going to hold up very well. I mean, Alon Musk is already laid off half of Twitter content moderation has been trashed Richard believes that Alon Musk is essentially a con man All right, there's the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I've been walking around the bay trying to go from Circular Key and the Opera House seeing if I can Make it to what Rose Bay? Watson's Bay walked about eight miles with lots of periodic takes to offer my punditry But I mean Richard says that Alon Musk is a con man and I'm not denying that there may be elements of Alon Musk's operation that is a con game But overall, this is the world's richest man because he's produced value right Tesla People love their Teslas like Tesla is the most prestigious valuable name in car manufacturer, and that's the company that Alon Musk has run with great dedication so How did Richard get the idea that Alon Musk is a con man? He watched some videos. He watched some YouTube videos That that's how you write at this Perspective you watch some YouTube videos. It's not because he read Books on Alon Musk. He didn't read any academic articles on Alon Musk He watched some YouTube videos And then he just came to the conclusion that Alon Musk is a con man I mean that's absolutely reckless, but that's what makes him so compelling because he is so reckless. He doesn't care Right. He's not hamstrung by concerns about being true and right and good Right. He is driven by saying what is compelling and edgy What will grab your attention? He is a higher IQ version of Tim Poole and Nick Fuentes and Ben Shapiro right it's an attention-seeking drama-seeking theatrical Presentation which I find tremendously you know compelling. I enjoyed listening to Richard, but it's just absolutely reckless Right to state Alon Musk Twitter is not going to change when Alon Musk takes over Twitter It's not going to change But Alon Musk is essentially a con man that his whole empire is based on lies and deceit and that pretty much all these businesses are just con games and He comes to all this based on some anti Alon Musk Videos on YouTube so not based on books not based on academic articles All right, not based on Insights from people he knows and trusts he watched some videos I will state definitively obviously Alon Musk Twitter is going to be Dramatically different. It's already dramatically different Alon Musk didn't get to be the world's like richest man by being a con man. All right, there's substance there He's built up incredibly valuable properties
