At a field encampment in the southern part of Fuyen Province, troops of the 101st Airborne Division prepare for Operation Geronimo. Phase one being launched on the last day of October is to be a night mission. The area where the search and destroy mission will be carried out is discussed as a recon platoon is brief. Terrain features are pointed out on a map. Equipment to be taken on the sweep is given a final check. Black grease paint will help to hide the troopers from enemy eyes in the darkness. Finally, the airborne troopers move out. During the night, the area around Tui Hoa is searched and scattered enemy resistance is met. Now on the morning of November 1, the airborne units begin working their way back toward the landing zone. The probing continues on the way out. Bundles of clothing and other personal belongings left behind by the fleeing Viet Cong are examined. 17 of the enemy were killed during the night long sweep. Bags of rice also left behind by the VC are opened and the contents destroyed. In a brief rest period, some men try to sleep while others just sit down somewhere. Now in full daylight, the night operators file out of the jungle and reach the open field where the helicopters will pick them up. A smoke signal brings the troop lift choppers and the leg weary jungle fighters begin the 64 kilometer flight back to their camp. At Cong Son, weapons taken from the enemy during the night are put on display. Operation Geronimo phase one has been successful. A daily ground support mission is about to get underway as two gunships of the 48th aviation company take off from their base at Tui Hoa. Today, the 23rd of October will be different. 35 kilometers north of their base, the gunships are given an urgent new assignment. An Army 01 spotter plane is down. Gunships of Joker platoon are to assist in the search and provide cover for the Medevac chopper. The wrecked aircraft is spotted within 30 minutes and the two armed choppers circle the area. Dustoff arrives, sliding downward toward the crash site to pick up the injured pilot. The gunships continue to cover. A suspicious movement is seen below as the wrecked aircraft is set afire. The gunships will refuel at Tui An, then return for a better look at the area where the crash occurred. Landing at Tui An, the refueling commences at once while the two aircraft commanders quickly discuss the plan of action. Then the gunships of Joker platoon are once again in the air. Alert to the possibility of enemy troop movement in the area, the sector is closely scrutinized and photographs are taken of all suspicious localities. Then ground fire is encountered. The gunships go into action, raking the edge of the jungle with machine gun fire as each helicopter makes a pass. Next time around, the enemy position is hit with rocket fire. The target, marked by smoke bombs, is again blasted with machine guns and all ground fire ceases. It's all over. And the Jokers go home. Halfway between Phu Cot and Hammond airfield lies a holding camp for Vietnamese refugees. Established by the First Air Cavalry Division, its primary function is to take care of civilians uprooted from their villages during Operation Irving. Male refugees construct permanent type dwellings with materials supplied by the first Cav. Although the camp will be their home only until they can be moved to resettlement villages. However, for the time being, many still live in tents. Anything of value which they can salvage is put aside for their future homes. Meanwhile, as they wait to begin new lives, each family cooks and eats its meals out of doors. During the month of October, approximately 2,800 displaced civilians have been given refuge here, in addition to the livestock which will help them begin anew. A short distance away, nearer Phu Cot, at a compound established by a United States MP company, prisoners taken during Operation Irving are given an ID check. As soon as they are checked in, these Viet Cong captured by the First Air Cavalry Division are taken to one of the compound buildings for interrogation. A U.S. lieutenant and an ARV interpreter team up to interrogate one of the prisoners. A wounded prisoner has his head bandaged by a medic while he is put through an intensive interrogation to make certain he is a Viet Cong and to exact information that will assist the First Cav in its search and destroy operations. As soon as the prisoners are confirmed as VCs and their interrogation is completed, they are led into the wire-enclosed compound where they are kept under tight security. This hut serves as their sleeping quarters. Although only 20 are being held here at the moment, as many as 400 a day have been brought in during Operation Irving, they line up outside for dinner. On the left are Chieu Hois, who surrendered voluntarily. In the center is a North Vietnamese regular and on the right are Vici Guerrillas. The Bill of Fair consists of familiar hot rice and unfamiliar sea rations. Some eat only the rice prepared by local Vietnamese women, while others embarking on an entirely new adventure in eating bravely struggle with the sea rations. The Mekong River and the monsoon season add up to an inescapable fact of life in the Mekong Delta, flooded farmlands, villages, and cities. In Chau Doc province, 190 kilometers southwest of Saigon, the annual flood damage is much worse than usual this year. With their homes virtually afloat, thousands of inhabitants have had to flee to higher ground. In these communities, some as close as 1800 meters to the Cambodian border, wading on Main Street is a seasonal way of life. US military vehicles trying to help are bogged down. US special forces personnel stationed in the Delta team up with the Navy and USAID to fly emergency medical supplies and food to the refugees. Thousands of typhoid and cholera shots will be administered to prevent epidemics. The rescue crews discuss loading problems, since helicopters must take off, carrying an overload of as much as 500 pounds. The floodwaters came last year and will almost surely come next. And as long as they're in the area, US Army personnel will do all they can to help. Another contingent of the Philippine Civic Action Group arrives at Tainin on the 19th of October. Here, 80 kilometers northwest of Saigon, the new hospital group is greeted by other members of the Civic Action Team, who had arrived during September. Several nurses are among those who are being greeted. The village head man joins in the hearty welcome for the nurses and other medical personnel. Work on the Tainin Station Hospital was begun by the Filipino engineers soon after their arrival. This building, one of three in the hospital complex, will house the outpatient clinic and dispensary. The temporary dental clinic already services some 300 patients per day. Most work is extraction. At the adjoining dispensary, patients are registered in and medics take care of them. A high percentage of the patients are children. Nearby, the old Tainin school is undergoing remodeling and expansion. Improved educational facilities rank high on the program of activities. Viet Nationals assist in the work. At the village of Tainin, a short distance away, food is distributed to the needy residents by one of the Philippine Civic Action Teams. On the outskirts, members of the security battalion stand guard. The village is located in Warzone C. The 29th of October is a banner day for the people of Phukuong Village, 32 kilometers north of Saigon. They are celebrating the start of a new road building project. Civilian dignitaries gather from near and far for the occasion. Flower garlands go to the Filipino engineers who will build the road. The commander of the Philippine Civic Action Group explains the construction program and pledges assistance for the district. A Filipino engineer and a Vietnamese highway worker symbolize the United Construction Effort as a parade of road building equipment is staged by the Philippine Civic Action Group during the ceremonies. The Philippine commander bids farewell to the villagers and the new Civic Action Project is officially launched. Despite an attempt by the Viet Cong to turn celebration into tragedy, the Vietnamese National Day Parade is held right on schedule in Saigon on November 1st. Premier Qi, Chief of State too, and other high-ranking dignitaries take their place on the reviewing stand. The day's events get underway with a military flyby. Only an hour before, terrorists fired several recoilless rifle shells into the area, but they fell short and caused little damage. The Vietnamese infantry troops carrying their unit colors proudly lead the parade down Phong Nhat Boulevard as a crowd estimated at nearly 100,000 looks on. Loudest applause of the day is won by the colorful and primitive Montagnard tribesmen of the Central Highlands and their elaborately decorated elephants. Not to be outdone, the Montagnard tribes women also put in an appearance. Another popular group is a band of 500 former Viet Cong who came over to fight on the government side. A crack military drill team makes an impressive showing. As does a Royal Australian Army Band leading a combined company of Aussie and New Zealand forces. Vietnamese paratroopers demonstrate their free fall techniques. They are followed by elements of the Philippine Civic Action Battalion. Just about every type of Allied fighting unit in Vietnam makes an appearance, even a scout dog platoon. The hour long parade climaxes 18 days of celebration, commemorating the overthrow of the Diem regime in 1963 and the establishment of a new republic. But even more, it demonstrates once again the determination of both Vietnamese and Allies to defend the independence of that republic. On the morning of four November, disaster strikes throughout Northern Italy when recent alpine snows too quickly melted by warm rains sends torrents of water cascading madly down the mountainside. A normally dry creek bed running through the resort of Fiera di Premiero is suddenly transformed into a raging river causing landslides and destroying homes and bridges. In a courageous attempt to divert the rampaging river, the people of the town band together to form a human chain for passing rocks along during the construction of a dam. For three days, the onslaught continues. All roads are washed out, communication disrupted. Totally isolated, the community exists without heat, electricity, or drinking water. Responding to a plea for help, helicopters of the US Army SeaTap Aviation Company, stationed near Verona, begin a shuttle of needed supplies into Fiera di Premiero, including blankets, food, and tools. Known as the Angels of Mercy because of their aid during other disasters, the Army aviators evacuate many of the injured as well. With at least seven dead, scores injured, and damage running into millions of dollars, residents believe it will take many years before the tourist resort returns to normal. Feeling right at home in the rarefied atmosphere of the world's highest commercial airport, astronauts Richard Gordon and Neil Armstrong arrive in La Paz, Bolivia to continue their goodwill tour of Latin America. After meeting local officials, the astronauts and their party begin a 45-minute descent from the airport, which lies over two and a half miles above sea level in the Andes. Along the route, they are greeted by thousands of cheering Bolivians. Lieutenant Commander Gordon flew with Gemini 11, which set the altitude record, while Armstrong's Gemini 9 was the first to accomplish docking in space. In the center of town, an official ceremony is held, during which the astronauts place a commemorative wreath at the statue of Simon Bolivar, liberator and founder of Bolivia. Then they wade into the crowd, meeting as many people as possible before departing on the next leg of their 10-nation tour. Several days later, it's much the same story as the astronauts reach Panama City, last stop on their busy agenda. After a motor cave through the city, the astronauts and their wives are welcomed at City Hall. The mayor in typical Latin fashion greets them warmly. They, in turn, present him with a scale model of their Gemini spacecraft, as well as a color photo of the capsule as it orbited the earth. Next stop is Cathedral Plaza, where the astronauts, accompanied by American Ambassador Adair, once again place a commemorative wreath, this time beneath the bust of Panama's founder and first president, Dr. Manuel Amador Guerrero. As the hectic three-week tour winds up, the astronauts look forward to the more leisurely business of piloting spacecraft. This prototype of the UH-1 universal particle separator is being installed in a UH-1D helicopter. Developed by the Army Materiel Command, it is designed to reduce erosion of the T-53 engine used to power the UH-1B, UH-1B 540, and the UH-1D. After the particle separator is installed, the primary test aircraft takes off at Fort Rucker, Alabama, and aims directly for the first test area. Sand and dust are the primary causes of the engine erosion, which is seriously affecting helicopter operations in Vietnam. At the second test area, the particle separator is tested for its effectiveness in preventing ingestion of long blades of grass, which cause engine failures when they become lodged in the inlet guide vanes. This grass is trapped in the separator. Throughout the tests, temperature-sensitive paints applied to the driveshaft are checked to see if installation of the particle separator reduces air cooling. The third test area provides dust conditions more typical of operational flights in South Vietnam. Under normal conditions, the T-53 engine has a time between overhaul of 1,100 hours. In unprepared, dusty areas in Vietnam, T-53 engines have required replacement in as little as 300 hours. If the UH-1 universal particle separator proves itself under these varied conditions, it is expected that engine failure in Vietnam will be greatly reduced. The XM-166, a full-track air defense vehicle, represents the marriage of a standard M-42 twin 40-millimeter gun turret mounted on an M-548 chassis. In tests conducted on the Dona Ana Range, El Paso, Texas, the XM-166 is put through its paces. The weapon fires at towed and fixed ground targets. The XM-166 proves its maneuverability in cross-country tests. Combat loaded with five men aboard, the vehicle weighs 29,000 pounds, half the weight of the present M-42. The current tests reflect firing damage to the operator's cab, equipment, and tie-down belts. It is expected that these deficiencies will be corrected. Put through a series of stability tests with hydraulic system stabilizers in on and off positions, the XM-166 displays a fine degree of stability. When all tests have been completed and evaluated, it is expected that the XM-166 will replace the M-42 and provide air defense with an air-droppable amphibious full-track vehicle, and at the same time, represent a dollar savings, since the chassis itself is presently in the Army inventory.


The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the great Gildesley. He was brought to you transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company. 20 years ago, the Kraft Foods Company introduced a wonderful new salad dressing, a superbly smooth, delicious tasting salad dressing called Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip was so remarkably good that it soon became the most popular salad dressing ever created. Now Miracle Whip outsells the next 20 leading brands of salad dressing combined and good cooks everywhere depend on it to make their salads better tasting. To bring out the best in your salads, use the one and only Miracle Whip salad dressing. Let's look in on the great Gildesley. It's about nine o'clock of a Saturday morning and we find our Portley Water Commissioner standing before the mirror in his room, applying the finishing touches to his attire for the day. As he carefully ties his tie, he appraises the reflection of himself and finds it, yes, well, not bad. Oh, sir, not bad at all. Gildesley, you're a lot of man. A little heavy, maybe, but I'm not fat. Just ample. After all, what woman likes a man skimpy? Hey, like a full figure, like me. You bet. Yeah, I'd like to know how you tie one of these darn bow ties. Mine always ends up looking like a poor bladed windmill. What is it, Bertie? Yes. Oh, fine. Thanks, Bertie. Hey, looks nice. I used salt and lemon juice on it, took out them watermelon spots, you picked up its fourth of July picnic. Yeah. Well, I enjoyed your still fits, too. How do I look? Oh, you look nice.  Well, thank you.  Yep. A little outing in the country with Miss Kelly and a few friends from City Hall. That's nice. Yeah, the girls are putting up the picnic lunches. We're going out to popular grove. Nothing like getting out with a jolly crowd, Bertie. Yes, sir. You better listen for the phone. Miss Kelly is going to call me once you're ready to leave. Yes, sir. I'll listen for it. Darn that guy. Coming loose again. Hey, by the way, Bertie, where's Leroy? Haven't heard him banging around this morning. Oh, he's around someplace. Little Leroy's kind of losing these days. He can't seem to find anything to do. Well, that's the way it is with boys in August. Secretly, these modern kids. There isn't a circus going on every day. They don't know what to do with themselves. You just don't have nobody to play with. All his friends have gone away. Oh, posh. That's the trouble with kids nowadays, Bertie. I think they have to have a crowd around where they can't live. It's a weakness of modern youth. Can't stand to be alone. George, when I was a boy, I learned to be content with my own company. Is that the phone? I didn't hear nothing. Yeah, the crowd is supposed to meet in front of the city hall at 9.30. I should be hearing from Miss Kelly. Yes. And don't worry about Leroy, Bertie.  He'll be happy to get back to school in September. The heck I will. Leroy, where are you? I was just going upstairs and heard you're talking about school. Don't talk about it, Aunt. Sorry, my boy. You gonna need anything else that kills me? No, just listen for the phone, Bertie. Yes, sir. What are you all done up for, Aunt? Are we going someplace? Well, I'm going someplace, Leroy. I have a date to meet some friends at the city hall. In that house, first? You gonna play in the band? No. Little outing. Miss Kelly and several other couples. Can I go? No, no, not this time. Oh, why not, Aunt? No one's getting away. Leroy, you don't even know what this is. You said it was an outing. I like outings. All I've had is innings. I'm ready for an outing. Is my collar straight in the back?  Yeah, yeah. Can I go with you, Aunt, can I? Not this time, Leroy. You stay here and play. Play with who? There's nobody to play with. All the kids are gone someplace. From the only kid left in the neighborhood. No, Leroy. Everybody's gone. Even the dogs have gone. Only thing left here is me. Nothing to do. Well, ride your bicycle. It's got a flat tire. We'll fix it. That'll give you something to do. I've got nothing to fix it with. We'll find something. Where? I don't know. Look. Will you help me look? No, Leroy. I'm waiting for Miss Kelly to call right now. I'll have to leave in just a few minutes. Find something to do. This is a good chance to prove to yourself that you can get along and have fun without depending on other people. Be independent, like me. Don't rely on others. Was that the phone? I didn't hear anything. Yeah, I'm going downstairs. Now take my advice, my boy, and find yourself something to do. The happiest moments in life are those spent in pleasant pastimes of one's own creation. Settle down with a good book. I don't want to read. Well, take a nice long walk. Think.  What for? I've known myself for years. Oh, my goodness. You're not trying. Now go find something to do. Enjoy yourself. Have fun.    Oh, Margie. I'm upstairs, my dear. Coming right down. Well, don't you look nice. Thank you, my dear. What's the occasion? Are you marching in a parade? No. A little outing in the country with a few friends. George Merritta Williger thinks he's a fashion place. Wait till I show up in these duck pants. He'll be green with empty. Oh, is the mayor going along? Yeah. Kind of a city hall picnic. But there'll be a lot of interesting people there too. I'm taking Miss Kelly. Bring me the glasses, Gordy. I'm nervous. What's Leroy doing? I don't know. He's out in the kitchen dreaming up some wild idea. Well, good. He's finding things to do for himself. Hide things over at your house. Pretty quiet. Bronco took the twins over to his mother's for the day. I have the house all clean and the dish is done, so I thought I'd come over and see what you were doing. Well, I have a pretty busy day ahead. Oh. Well, there didn't seem to be anything to do around the house. Seems like everybody's away on vacation. No, my dear. You're sounding just like Leroy. What do you mean? Nothing to do. Simply because you don't have a crowd of people around doesn't mean there aren't a lot of things to do. Well, I've done all the sewing and the laundry's done. That's not what I mean. You must learn to treasure the quiet hours you can spend by yourself. That's the time when your mind should awaken, become creative, and ingenious. That's the time that's all yours. When you're free to do all the things you wanted to do. I've never thought of it quite that way. There's nothing more stimulating than the freedom and independence of being alone for a few hours. Being able to use your time profitably. Maybe you're right, Anki. Well, I'll have a nice time on the picnic. Thank you, my dear. You leaving? Yes, I'll see you later, Anki. Fine. Now, there's an intelligent girl. She is, sir. Gildesley. She's learned a lot from you. My name is Mae Kelly. Doesn't call. Probably busy putting up the lunch, making deviled eggs. Sounds like Leroy. Birdie, where's Leroy? He found something to do with you and like you told him. What's this? He found something to do by himself like you told him. Come here to the window. Came out there on the front lawn? Well, what do you know? A lemonade stand. He took my advice for you. Raising youngsters is no problem if you know how to do it. What are you doing? I gave him plenty of lemonade. And that's what counts. That glass of your lemonade, myself. What's the current price? How many have you sold so far? This makes one. Don't be discouraged. You're learning a lesson that your old uncle learned a long time ago. Be self-sufficient. Be able to get along by yourself. Yeah. Well, I got to hurry along. Gonna try to get to Peabies and back before Miss Kelly calls. See you later, my boy. One cent. What an operator. You can give me a handful of cigars, Peabie, and I'm in a big hurry. No, I don't. What kind of cigars would you like? Well, I'm going on a picnic. What kind of cigars would you suggest? You want something to keep the mosquitoes away? No, give me a light cigar. Something festive. This is in the nature of a party, you know, Peabie. Oh, you want something that'll explode? Peabie, stop pulling my leg and give me some cigars. Some good of yours. I just put a little wither to the men now and then. It kind of brightens up today. Yes, yes. Leroy's going with you on the picnic? No, Leroy's staying home today. I'm mighty proud of that boy, Peabie. He's following right along in the footsteps of his uncle. You don't think. You bet. No crowd follower of that boy. He's completely sufficient unto himself. Perfectly happy to be alone. That's unusual for a boy. Yeah, I know it is. But I've taught him. You know the old saying, Peabie, as the wind blows, so bends the tree. But he will wind around you. Excuse me when I answer your phone. Here, go right ahead. I have to be going anyway, expecting a call at home. Peabie's promising. Yes, he's here. Was that for me, Peabie? What was that again? Peabie, is that for me? I didn't get that. Peabie, is that call for me? Trumpy drugist. Now, what was that? Yes. Yeah, all right, Birdie. I'll tell him. Goodbye. Hey, was that Birdie? What'd she want? All right. She wanted me to convey a message to you. Well, convey it. She said Miss Kelly calls. Oh, great. I'm on my way. Miss Kelly said the picnic's been called off. You allow me over here? How she did you call off? Who called it off? You want to ask me? I just told you what Birdie said. God, founded Peabie, they can't do that. Well, you should have told them sooner. They've already done it. Well, I've been fighting on this for a week. Even bought these white duck pants, especially for the occasion. Well, they're not lost. A good pair of pants always comes in handy. All those sneaky things to do. Here I am all dressed up and no place to go. Where did you go home? Well, George, that's what I will do. To heck with the picnic. I'll go home and get Marjorie and Lee Roy. We'll have a picnic of our own. I thought you were a fellow who was sufficient under himself. Perfectly happy with his own company.  Oh, I am perfectly happy with my own company. But I'm not selfish. I'm perfectly willing to let other people be happy with it, too. Out of my way, Peabie. I'm going home. Gilded sleeve will be back in just a minute. Tonight we have a wonderful idea for your next company luncheon. That time when the Bridge Club meets or an old friend comes to town, something like that. This idea starts with crab meat salad, a very delicious crab meat salad. To make it, mix the crab meat with diced celery and chopped hard-cooked eggs. Then mix in plenty of smooth, delicious, miracle whip salad dressing. Miracle whip will give that salad just the lively, teasing flavor you wanted to have. Miracle whip has a very special flavor, one that you won't find in any other salad dressing. That's because miracle whip is made from a secret craft recipe, one that combines the qualities of old-fashioned boil dressing and fine, rich mayonnaise. You'll notice that miracle whip is perfectly smooth and creamy thick. That's because this salad dressing is blended thoroughly with special craft beaters. Now to do something special with this crab meat salad, take some hard rolls and cut a slice from the top of each one. Then scoop out part of the insides and stuff those good, crispy rolls with the crab meat salad. There. Now heat up some of your favorite canned soup and you have a wonderful lunch. Take home a jar of miracle whip tomorrow. Then you can enjoy all kinds of tempting salads at their delicious best. It's America's favorite salad dressing, the one and only miracle whip. The great Gildesleeve pointed to himself as a shining example of a man who can be perfectly satisfied with his own company. Of course, at the time he made these remarks, our water commissioner was preparing to go to a picnic at Poplar Grove. Now the picnic has been canceled. Yeah, no sense in wasting the day. I'll stop by the house and pick up Leroy. We'll jump in the car and go someplace. You can't expect the boy to be able to manage alone as well as I do.  Hello, get your funny books here. Hey, some kid with him. Never saw him before. Hi, Aunt. Hello, Leroy. You thought you're gone. Aren't you going on a picnic? Yeah, well, that's been sort of postponed for the time being. Yeah, I was thinking, Leroy, that perhaps you and I... Hey, I got a new friend, Aunt. This is big. He just moved in down the next block. This is my uncle. Hi. Hello, Diz. Leroy, as I was saying, I thought possibly... This is a keen guy, aren't you, Diz? Yeah. We got a whole new business going on. Diz Leeds will actually brought down all his old comic books and we're going to sell them. So, 10 already. Yeah, that's fine. But I was just thinking, if you fellas would like to go to the ball game... No, I don't think we should go to the ball game. Why not? We couldn't sell many comic books there. No, we're busy, uncle. We got a lot of projects. Thanks a lot anyway, uncle. But fellas, wait. We don't have to go to the ball game. We could do something else. Yeah, I have the whole day. We could go out to the lake and go fishing. Yeah, I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? I don't care for fish. Me either. Leroy, you always want to go fishing and you know it. I've changed. Me and Diz got plans. When we sell all this stuff, we're going to build a roller coaster in the vacant lot. Aren't we, Diz? Yeah. Diz goes to high school. He smiles a whip, aren't you, Diz? Yeah. You intrude. That's okay. Yeah, that's okay, uncle.  But if you don't want to, I said... Hey, Diz, get that kid across the street. He wants a comic. Come on. Never mind. Understand what he sees in him. That boy picks up with mighty strange friends, seems to me. Oh, well. I'll drop in and see my tree. Poor kid's probably lonely. Bronco in the twins' way. Yoo-hoo! Marjorie! It's me, Uncle Mark. Come on in, Anki. I'm back in the sunroom.  No. Just sitting here reading. Poor child. All alone. Nothing to do. Oh, I'm getting along fine, Anki. Well, I got to think of you all here all by yourself. Lonely. But I'm not lonely. Yeah, I decided by George, since the picnic was called off, that you and I could go downtown this afternoon. That'd cheer you up, wouldn't it? Anki, I don't need cheering up. No, Marjorie, don't tell me what you don't need. Every girl likes to go shopping, so hop it up and get ready. But I don't want to go shopping. I'm happy right here. Alone. Stubborn girl. You gave me something to think about this morning, Anki. I never realized before how much I could enjoy being alone. I'm having a wonderful time. I'm reading a book I've wanted to read for years and never had the time. Book.  No, no, I'm pretty busy. Do you want a coke or something? No, I just stopped in to be sure you weren't lonely. Well, I'm not. Well, that's good. I better go home now. I have a lot of things to do. Goodbye, Anki. If you get lonesome, you call me. Oh, I will. Goodbye. Bye. One advantage of having the kids living next door, it doesn't take long to get home. It's me, Betty. Back door, Mr. Gill, please. Yeah, I just stopped over to see my tree. How's she getting along over there alone? Oh, she's being brave about it. Keeping a stiff upper lip. You know my tree. What are you doing, Betty? Cooking. Oh, I got your message at PB's Drug Store.  Oh, it doesn't matter to me. I don't have to have people around. In fact, I'm much happier when I'm alone. Naturally independent, I guess. Yes. Well, I'll just sit down here in the kitchen and talk to you for a while, Betty. All right. So what are you cooking? Bean. Oh, beans are nice. My family always liked beans. You know, we had a lot of beans when I was a boy. A lot of nursemen and beans. Yeah, a person could live on beans, I guess. In my family, we had mostly lime or beans. Oh, lime or beans are nice. We like them. I have a lot of things to do. I guess I'll go in the living room. Let's go, please. You had loose ends. Me? Certainly not. I'm going to enjoy being left alone for once. A lot of books I haven't had a chance to read. Now's my chance. Oh, don't you worry about me, Betty. I ain't worried. Well, don't. Oh, man, it's just fine. I love to read. Got a lot of fine books in here, too. I've been waiting for a chance to get at them. Let's see what they have here on the shelf. Ant Harriet's Household Hints. Test of the storm country. The recreation of Brian Kent. Hmm, not much there. Yeah, here's a copy of National Geographic. April 1923. Oh, well, it doesn't make any difference. They're always interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The mysterious and fascinating habits of the hooping crane. Can't go for that. Yeah. Must be something to do. Gilded sleeve. Why don't you admit it? You're at loose ends. I could go out to Leroy and insist that he go to the ballgame. Can't do that. Gilded sleeve.  Just thrown aside like an old shoe.  No, I'm not asleep, boys. Just sitting here reading. You just sitting in here alone, reading? Yeah. Yes. How do you do that? Oh, Aunt's got a philosophy. He has? Yeah, Leroy. Let's not... That's kidding. He never gets lonesome for anybody. He can be content with his own company, can't you, Aunt? Yes, in a way. What does he think about? He thinks about all kinds of stuff. He's got a brain. He likes to be alone, don't you, Aunt? Well, sometimes, my boy. Hey, what are you fellas cooking up now? We're building a roller coaster in the vacant lot. Oh, that sounds pretty interesting. Yeah, but we don't want to bother you, Aunt.

Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I'm so excited and I know you are too. I'm going to be reviewing, swatching and showing you a tutorial using the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership Divine Rose, the newest eyeshadow palette she has come out with. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts, then just keep watching. First and foremost, this video is really exciting because it is in collaboration with my friend, Alicia or Kinky Sweat. I know most of you are probably already subscribed to her. I talk about her a lot in my videos, but I really wanted to collaborate with her on this just because the Pat McGrath Labs community, I feel like, is a lot smaller than some bigger brands here on YouTube. So I really feel like Alicia shares the same passion and love that I do for this brand. It's always so exciting to be able to share enthusiasm for a new product from a brand that you truly love. It's been really fun. We've been talking about the palette with each other. I've been like, has yours come yet? Has yours come yet? And yeah, it's just been an exciting process to open the package and talk about it and just... I'm just really excited about another Pat McGrath palette. The thing that I love most about Alicia's videos that I think you guys are going to is how in-depth she goes into her reviews. She gets this information like, I don't know where she finds it. So if you really like to know in-depth stories and just facts about the product that the average person can't find, somehow Alicia finds it. So those of you who love those in-depth types of videos, definitely check out her channel and she's so genuine, such a kind soul. So just wanted to give her a little bit of love and we just wanted to show you how excited we were for this palette. So let's get into it. I do have to say though, I have been talking a lot about over-saturation that is happening right now. Like, my wallet is sad, I don't have enough time and I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed. And every time Pat McGrath comes out with a palette, I feel like it's a really special release. This is her fifth palette release that she's come out with in a very short period of time. I'm excited because I love every single one of her palettes, but also my wallet's not excited and in terms of over-saturation, I am saturated. Moving on though, because I'm so excited about this palette. So major details about this palette is that it is $120 from Selfridges. Let me explain the situation. So this palette actually released in the UK first from Selfridges and it was exclusive to that company, but you know, I had to order it and it actually sold out super duper fast. So right now it is currently unavailable as far as I've been told. It will be released on the Pat McGrath Labs website November 7th. Don't hold me to that, that's what I heard. But yes, my folks in the UK got a chance to get their hands on it first. So here's the deal, it's coming from the UK and shipping was like really expensive. I think it was $30 or something like that. But then Selfridges also offers if you pay like a $55 fee upfront, you get a year of free shipping from them and guys, I would seriously say take advantage of that, it is worth it because certain brands like Tom Ford is actually significantly cheaper than it is in the US. So if you order from there and you take advantage of those discounts, then you actually end up saving a lot of money. So I did pay for the $55 which hurt, but in the long run, hopefully it's going to be worth it. Online, it does say that it is limited edition. So if you are interested in it, I would say get your hands on it because we don't want another decadence incident to happen. Okay, I know some of y'all are still mourning about the fact you have not yet gotten that palette. So if this is catching your eye, maybe you want to pick it up. Okay, this is her mother ship 10 pan eyeshadow palette, the best eyeshadow palettes that she has to offer in my opinions. So let's talk about the packaging really quickly. First of all, this is the most beautiful outside that she has had these palettes come in ever in my opinion. It is so soft and so romantic. I love it. When you purchase these palettes, yes, $120 is quite expensive, but like it's art, it's about the experience. And this is part of the art right here. This is stunning. If you buy these palettes and you don't keep this, shame on you because this one is absolutely stunning. And then of course you have the typical packaging, very heavy and luxurious. And then you open it up and you are going to reveal the 10 shades. As you can see, it is a very rosy, romantic, taupey kind of theme. I am all for this color theme. I do have to say this particular palette, it's not as photogenic because I was a little bit underwhelmed when I saw the photos. I thought it was really great for neutral lovers, but then I saw it in person. I was like, oh, this is really pretty. So it's definitely not as photogenic and it's prettier to look at in person. In here, you're getting a range of like mobs, taupes, rosy kind of colors, some gold in there. Really cohesive, beautiful color scheme. Formulation-wise, you're getting two true mattes, four shimmers, three of those Blitz Astral kind of formulas, which is really specific to her brand and really unique. One of them is actually, it feels a little bit like putty. It's very interesting and creamy. And then one super glitter formula. Now I think Pat McGrath eyeshadow quality formula is top of the line. So I'm not gonna go into it too much. I think the formula is worth it. I think her formulas are very unique, especially these four at the end. It's a formula that is really only found in her brand and take a look really quickly at these iridescent colors. Literally dying at these. All of these shades swatched really nice. And I would say I feel like the shimmers in this palette are kicked up a little bit more than normal. Normally, I think her shimmers are good, but nothing amazing. This time the shimmers seem to be extra buttery, creamy, pigmented, and just really stunning overall. Something you may want to keep in mind is that there are a few shades in this palette that are already existing in her regular line. As far as I could tell, there are four repeats. So the first repeat that we have is right here. This is Skin Show Nude, and this is found in the Mothership One Subliminal palette. Generally speaking, though, this particular shade isn't that unique. It's like a champagne with a gold shift to it. Another shade that is a repeat is Iridescent Pink 003. That's one that kind of feels interesting a little bit like putty. Now, this is actually from the Sublime Skin Highlighting Trio. So I do have that. And this as a highlighter for me on my skin tone isn't as flattering. I think this is fabulous on somebody with a deeper skin tone because the pink iridescence in here is really, really strong and it's just a little bit too pink on my skin tone. But on somebody deep, wonderful, and it's gonna look beautiful on the eye. So you can use this as a highlighter or an eyeshadow. Another repeat is Rose Dusk right here. This is from the Mothership Two Sublime. It's a really pretty color, really great touch in this palette. It doesn't knock my socks off as a color, but I do really like it. And then the last shade that's a repeat, which is unfortunate, is Astral Solstice. And this is from the newest Big Mothership Palette Midnight Sun. And that palette's pretty new. It's only a couple months old and we're already getting a repeat. A little bit annoyed at that. I think this color is absolutely stunning. But she released these two palettes not that far apart and already there's a repeat. Like, I don't know, maybe there was a lot of leftovers or she threw it in this palette. But honestly, kind of annoyed because I love her glitter formulas. They're my favorite. So I wanted something new and not a repeat.  But if you are somebody that doesn't have a lot of Pat McGrath, this is a wonderful palette. If you're the type of person that stayed away from her palettes because the color schemes were a little bit out there for you, I really truly do feel like in this palette, there's a color that you can use for every day that you're going to get used out of all 10 of these colors. Nothing is really crazy out there, maybe except for the glitter, but you can do something fun with the glitter, like pop it in your inner corners or for a night out. Pop that on your lid because I do think her glitter formula is the best glitter formula on the market. And it's only one, so you're not getting like a whole glitter palette if you're not somebody who uses glitter. But for the most part, like this is the most wearable palette that is currently in her line. I feel like a lot of you are going to love this. This is a great first palette to purchase from her. It's just a really wearable palette that I think you guys are going to really like. The tones of it are more like mauve topi. So in particular, brown eyes and green eyes, this is going to look wonderful and really compliment your eyes as well. So quickly, I'm going to show you how I created this look really simple. So the first color that I took was Veloria and honestly, this is one of my favorite shades in this palette. This is really unique. It's a light mauve taupe shade and I applied that all over my lid as the initial transition color. The next shade that I took is extreme mahogany and this blended with Veloria almost created a plum shade. This color is insane. It's so pigmented on the eyelid, but it's also so blendable and easy to work with. Pat McGrath, like she does it again. This is an amazing really dark chocolate brown color. It can be very scary, but this palette made it easy. The next shade that I took is rose dusk and I applied that to the center of my lid. I really wanted to focus on those rosy mobs for this look because that's what the whole essence of the palette is about. So I applied that to the center of my lid, but of course I had to play with one of the durochrome shades. So I took VR Rose Venus and I applied that to the inner part of my lid. Now this does pull very golden so it does have that pink gold shift to it, but the gold is really what I can see right now. The most, which I think is still really pretty. I then took Iridescent Pink and I applied that to my inner corners. Again, on my light skin, it is really pink, which isn't the most flattering, but it was a really great base for the inner corner. And then I took Astral Solstice right here and I applied that right on top of my inner corner to add a little bit of glitter. And that is how I got this look. It isn't like a showstopper kind of look, but this palette is more wearable. So I wanted to do a more wearable look while also using a large range of colors. And just looking at this palette, you can create even really neutral looks as well using the gold and this mahogany shade and the shade right here. You can create some really neat taupe eyes. So even though this palette is quite cohesive in the color scheme, you can really do different wearable everyday looks. You can have a more gold look. You can have a more rose look. You can have a more taupe look. You can really do a lot with it. So I would say it's not my favorite of all of the Pat McGrath palettes. However, I think this is going to be a crowd favorite because it is really wearable, really approachable as an eyeshadow palette. And I think it's a really great one to put your money into because you're probably going to be able to use every shade in here. Obviously, if you can't tell, I really do enjoy this palette quite a lot. It's one of those palettes where it doesn't knock my socks off, but it's one that I'm probably going to use the most. So that I cannot complain about. So if you have not yet subscribed to my friend Alicia, I will link her channel down below. You definitely need to go check out her video on this palette. She will definitely be getting into the nitty-gritty of it all. So definitely check her channel out for things that I missed because I know she'll cover them. It was just really fun experiencing this palette with her. I'm also experiencing it with you guys as well. So thank you guys so much for watching this video. If you are not yet subscribed to my channel, you should do it. I don't know and hopefully this video helped you out guys. Thank you so much and that's all I have. So I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one.


Hello, welcome to SSUnitex, so see this side and this is continuation of SQL quiz 50 day challenges. So we are in day 5 and today we are going to see one more interesting SQL interview question and answer. So here we are having one of the input data and this table is having total 4 columns like customer ID, customer name, sale, date and amount. And in output we just want to have only 3 columns. The first column will be sale date and then the total amount and after that the average amount. So how we can get the sale date and total amount and average amount. So we are required to write a query to get the month week wise total salary and average. So let's assume for every month the week will be started from 1. So if any transaction has been happened between 1 to 7 it should be going to calculate on that week and we should be going to pick the max of that week. So as we can see the max is 7 between 1 to 7. So here in the output in the sale date we should be seeing 7. Similarly here we can see we have 9 and 10 only these 2 transactions happening in second week. So in the output we have 10. So how we can write the logic for getting this output. So here we have multiple ways by which we can achieve this output. But I am going to write a very simple logic. First we are required to write a case statement and on that case statement we are required to check the sale date. If the sale date value is less than or equals to 7 then that will be week 1. If your sale date value is less than or equals to 14 then it will be your second week. Similarly if your sale date value is less or equals to 21st it should be 3rd week. If 28 then that will be 4th week otherwise that will be 5th week. So this logic we can write for calculating one more additional column here for the week number. And once we will be getting the week number then we can simply take the max of this sale date and then we can take the sum of this amount and the third column will be your average amount. So let me quickly go inside the Secosoab management studio and we will try to write a query for getting this output. So here I have already written the script for creating the table. So let me try to execute and table has been created successfully. Let me try to insert the data on this table. So as we can see data has been inserted total 11 rows are available here. So the first thing that I told you we are required to one case statement here. So on that case statement first we are required to check this sale date. So first we should be going to extract the day part from this sale date. If this value is less or equals to 7 then we can simply pass that as 1 hard code value. In the second statement here we can simply write when your day value of this sale date is less or equals to 14 then this value should be 2. Similarly the third condition we can write for getting the sale date day part here if this value is 21 then that should be third week and then we can write again for getting this sale date value if this value is less or equals to 28 then that should be your fourth week. If all these conditions will not be satisfied at last we should be having 5. Here we can write and and we can pass this as week now. Now let me try to execute this for checking the additional columns that we have added. So here we can see if your date is less or equals to 7 then we are getting the same week number here if we can see the second week is started from 8 so between 8 to 10 it is coming as second week. So this is what you can write for getting this output. So once we are having this output let me put this into one of the CT and here and try to select. So what we want to select here we are required to select the sale date the first column as sale date. So we can simply get the sale date from this CT and this sale date we can take the max. So this max we are simply taking because here we are doing this group by on this week now. So here it is creating the partitions like it is having the first partition week now second is having the second partition. So if we are taking the max of this partition it should be going to get the 7. So in our output we are required to have the 7 so that's why we are doing the partition by or the group by on this week num column that we have originally created and then we are taking the max of this sale date. Here similarly we can also do the sum of this amount. So this could be your total amount and the third column we can simply take the average of this amount column and let me call this as average amount. Now let me try to execute this query and we will try to check the output of this. So here we are getting the slim output as we were expecting. So the catch part is first we are required to create this additional column that is the week num and then after this week num should be going to use in the group by and creating the different partitions on the basis of this week num and then we are taking the max of this sale date sum of this amount and average of this amount. So I hope guys you have understood how we can write this query for getting this output I will provide this script on the description of this video so you can copy from there for your practice purpose. And you can also comment your answers in the comment box. So thank you so much see you in the next video.


What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new $40 million facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. Over 15 churches will be joining together April 9th for an Easter sunrise service at Belfrey High School Football Stadium. The service will begin at 7 a.m. and is open to all regardless of denomination. Sunday we're going to have a celebration of multiple churches gathered together at Belfrey High School Football Stadium. We feel like when right now in the world has so much discouragement and difficulties and just issues that they're separated over that this is a great time for all of the different churches of different denominations to get together and show we can all come together under one message of hope where we are just showing people that it's through grace, through faith, and through Jesus alone that we're going to celebrate on Sunday. The service will feature the bottom barrel boys, a bluegrass band, and a price team. Stadium seats, buddy heaters, and blankets are all welcome. Everyone is welcome and we've invited all the churches in the community. In fact, when we send out we send out 6500 postcards to all the area around this area, you know, West Virginia and Kentucky and just everywhere near the football stadium. And so we've invited many different churches. We're going to have churches of Methodist faith, Presbyterian, Baptist, free will Baptist. There'll be some old regular Baptist there. There's going to be non-denominational there. We're going to have many different churches. When we started off, it was about eight churches and it's grown to about 15 that I know of right now. For more information, go to First Baptist Church of Forest Hills on Facebook. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


Okay, welcome to vlog Thursday. Hi. Hello. It's January 18th this time, you know, you need to know. And we're going to change that. Oh, okay, never mind, forget I said anything. No, no, we're not gonna change date. I do not have such powers. Maybe you would develop something. Yeah, well, I actually did invent a time machine, but then I thought it was a bad idea, so I went back and not invented it, and now it's all over. No? Okay, welcome to vlog Thursday. We're gonna quit using dates and start using episode numbers. Someone suggested that. That was a great idea. And it's an idea we should have had from the beginning. And the reason why is because my podcast has episode numbers, not dates. Yeah. And like everything has episode numbers. Then we can someone say, hey, an episode blah, blah, blah, you mentioned, and they have to mention in dates. And of course the people outside of America have different date formats. So yeah, I'm going to try to make an effort to maybe rename them and give them all because I got to go backwards and do it. Yeah, I'm really lazy. But at least going forward, I can because it's easy to count how many because there's tools, right? A playlist that has all of our blogs in it. I can count how many we did. What episode would be at? We're coming up on a year of doing this, right? Oh, over a year of doing it. This would be like, it's 50 something right now. Can't be over a year because I've been here a year. I know. And we've been doing it for... I thought we did the first one like at my month, right? Wasn't the first vlog. There's like Mars. Okay, so right around either way. So yeah, but either way, it's close. Yeah. Close and things like that. That is, that's all the changes that... Oh, lights. We're still learning and improving. How about these, huh? How about this? I actually recorded it before I recorded this and cleared the table. A video on the lights themselves, which I have to now edit and make happen. So there's that. I have... Well, let's just jump into the topic of the business of YouTube. The business of YouTube. The business of YouTube. Let's do it. So YouTube made changes. I did a video where I just kind of ramble out about the changes and talked about them. And me and Marvin were discussing them as well because of how we want to do this channel and how we do things. And the problem that some of the changes create that I didn't really address, but I thought about later, is fixing toilets.  This is not Tuesday. Nothing to say to that. So shout out to the guy who uses his cell phone and doesn't drop it in a toilet to make a video about how to fix a toilet. And there's a lot of YouTubers and I really thought about that where they... There's not a reason to subscribe to your channel. And I realized that was exactly how my early days were on YouTube. I just made videos on how to do and how to fix a few things. I never thought about creating audience and having, you know, this back and forth conversation that we have. And even some of our videos aren't as much subscriber-worthy because we're just doing things like talking about firewalls and stuff like that. And in general, there's a lot of people like that. They don't create a channel that creates a lot of content like we do. They just create a video to help you with a thing. They may monetize it with that thing and then they make a few dollars off it. Now, granted in the U.S., the money you make off of there compared to the cost of living here isn't wonderful. But it is a few dollars. You can make hundreds. You can figure for every million views. You may make $1,500 off that. And it's not bad, but not many things. The total of her videos don't usually get a million views. But you may see 20 or 30,000 views. It may make the guy, you know, 100 bucks on that video. And the way the monetization works, because you need a certain number of subscribers and consistent views to keep your monetization in there slapping people who already monetize as well. So it's not just new tubers. New tubers. It's the existing tubers that do it. So this is causing a lot of controversy and strife. And people who are in other countries where the cost of living is lower, the money is technically higher because of the exchange rate. So I guess it is disproportionately affecting them. And it's something that people talk about, you know, U.S. exceptionalism and things like that. It really is kind of funny when you think about it because there's two, over a billion people on YouTube. But there's only 329 million roughly Americans at the last census. And they're not all on YouTube. So we absolutely make up far less than one quarter of the YouTube audience, like people from the U.S. Sure. So what is it that YouTube changed in their, in their, like, are they, so are they changing that you do or don't need more subscribers? You need a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and then you need 4,000 watched hours. That's kind of a steep requirement. So one of my friends, before they'll start paying. Right. Okay. Yeah. And what was it before? It was just 10,000 minutes, I believe it was. So they substantially changed it. So 10,000 minutes. And I don't remember what, I think it's just 100 subscribers. Okay. And this is part of YouTube. And one thing that's come, even after the first change that they made last year, which was the so many minutes. And now that they've come into here, I know the problem's gone away. And I thank you for everyone who's done this. And I mentioned this in my video, plagiarism. And what people were doing on YouTube is just constantly plagiarizing someone else's popular content and re-uploading it. And a lot of people who are just viewing, they look for the thing that they want to see. They're like, hey, check this video out on XYZ. So because it has the same title, you may find it before you find the other video because someone plays in monkeys with the keyword searches a little bit. So all they did was take the content, duplicate the content, download, re-upload, and they start making money off of that exact same content with no originality. So they have fixed a lot of that. Now that will not do anything to address the Logan Paul issue, because that's just YouTube. Yeah. They basically said they're going to put humans back on how that crap gets to the top of the page. I hope so. I certainly hope so. Yeah. But as far as us for the channel, I look at it from a business standpoint, and this is what I talk about in my video. I mean, I'm thankful for the money I get from YouTube, but it's not a significant part and it would not pay for everything we have here. And I also find it interesting, you look at people like Rhett and Link and Philip DeFranco, you're talking about a couple of people there, or even the Green Brothers, John and Hank. They produce videos since 2006. Yeah. There was no monetization platform. You know why they produced them? Passion. Yeah. And a lot of that is where I come from. I mean, this is not the end all, I make money in IT. That pays really well. This is fun. We enjoy doing it. We enjoy sharing it with you. We love the audience interaction. That's really why I do it. I mean, granted, yes, it's great to make a few dollars on sites. I'm taking time away from my business where I make money. And what I was just saying, I ended up before we make unblock Thursdays. We are losing, we are, money is flying out our butt right now. Because it costs more. We pay more in wages to you than we made on all the videos. I'm sorry. It's just back. We don't, it just, I'm like, look, we made two dollars on Vlog Thursday. Thank you, YouTube. Well, but that's directly from YouTube, though. Right. I still think you have to roll in, though. I mean. The bigger picture in a popular area. Of course. It still gets business, right? People see a video that Tom did or, you know, whatever. And then that gets them to call us and say, oh, I see that you know all there is to know about PF Sense. I need you to help me set up my PF Sense. Yeah. And there is, there is a, that is another side of our business model. I'm not shy about where we will set up your networks and things like that. That's something absolutely we offer as services. I, you know, I try to be as detailed as possible. I'm not like, and this is, this is one of the things that I noticed that some people who try to use this marketing and I had a discussion with a, another tech company yesterday on the phone and they don't like giving it all away. They want to give you the teasers. I'm like, no, I literally, you can follow my videos. And I've gotten so many emails and thank you very much. I love the feedback where I'm, I try to be as detailed as possible. I don't say, here's almost how to set it up. And for $29.95, buy the full thing. And I see so many people using YouTube as that way. They use it just as a teaser and a lead to get you to buy, subscribe to their mailing list and buy their $29.95 book that gives you the full details and courses. I mean, maybe I'm not the best business person because I don't do that. And that's why some of them are, there's that one. I know a couple people and they have a high-end car collection. I mean, that is a good strategy where they, they do some of the videos, but they give you really in-depth training courses for a fee. And I get it. I guess if it's your only income, you kind of have to do it that way. I don't know, I'm always torn out. I like, I love sharing knowledge. I spoke at conferences and not asked for any compensation.  I'm not, I'm probably not going to pay you $29.95 to get the rest of it. I mean, if I don't find it anywhere, then maybe I got to come back. But I think too, if you do lay out all that detail, people who are going to try to fix it themselves are going to try to fix it themselves. Yeah. But you can also lay out all the detail and it's happened to me, it has happened to me a couple of times. I go, oh, that's complicated. I'm not going to do that. That too. I'm going to call them and say, how about you fix this for me? Yeah. So I always go back and forth because, you know, what should I monetize on? What shouldn't I, I like giving a lot of way. It's finding a happy balance. I would love to, but it requires more funding, so to speak. And, you know, we've got a Patreon set up. I haven't really done much promoting with it. We set it up because I'm trying to figure out where we're going to go with it. Because if I, as I get money for it, I'm willing to give even more things away, because I can only put so much time into YouTube, because if I don't run the business at some point, the business has to make money and move forward. So that still involves me a little bit. More is the pity.  Oh, you got your business and you have to run it. I'm so sad for you. Also related for other people who are on YouTube. If you think YouTube is your own, any, anytime, your only source of revenue is one single place you can have a problem. That's a life rule. That doesn't mean that's not just from a business perspective. That's a, think about that. If you completely rely and then the company you work for goes out of business, there's a problem, which is unfortunate, but it can happen. So it's why you should have savings and why you, as best possible, not live check to check and think about those financial decisions all the time. Those are just things that should be considered all the time. And you'll notice, you even take a big channel, and I'm going to talk like Linus or any of the other big tech channels, almost, I don't think they run a video at all that they don't have a sponsored post as in they're being sponsored by, there's like TunnelBear and a few other companies, or especially tech channels, they only get sponsored by the product company. So they'll have an intro and check out XYZ products and blah, blah, blah. I'll follow the link below and then they roll into their video and things like that. I'm trying to avoid some of that because I come to really understand the advertisement agreement and I know you have to watch ads on YouTube unless you sign up for YouTube red, which I think is really cool. But the other side of it is we have to find a way to monetize it. I just wish there was more variety because when you start watching three different YouTubers, but they're in a similar thing because I want to get reviews on things, sometimes they'll all have the same thing.  They're just like the podcasts I listen to. They're all sponsored by Blue Apron. Yeah, or Stamps.com. Stamps.com and Blue Apron. Just like, I'm familiar with the Blue Apron product and I'm familiar with Stamps.com. We don't really ship anything. So it doesn't apply to me. I get it. I know the offer code for everybody now. And there's like nine different podcasters all doing that. So we're trying to avoid some of those things. We just need to get somebody that is not tech related so it's not like a sellout kind of thing. You know, we need to be sponsored by Kraft macaroni and cheese or something. Kraft macaroni and cheese, if you're listening. I guess some kind of hot sauce. We are not sponsored, but I will give a shout out to Bigby over in Southgate on Dixieleta Road. Yes, Hyrule. Hyrule, he listens to us sometimes. He likes to see the Bigby cups and the things. He's sort of, I'm sorry, man. I say fueled by Bigby, not sponsored by Bigby. That's right. That's right. All right, back on to other business topics. So besides the shenanigans that we do post on theirs, someone did ask if we ever get any work done because and I think the reality is of working here, we try to keep it lighthearted and fun because I've said this before, no one calls because everything's so hunky-dory and happy. They call it because there's a problem and they want to address the problem. So we definitely have to keep it lighthearted. We're full of just any time we can make horrible puns, we do. We are very punny. Oh yeah, it gets bad. It's always some type of how to make fun. But a lot of the time too is spent communicating with customers, waiting for things to happen. And we end up with like little bits of free time because if nothing's broke and all of our management tools that we use that automate all of the deployment processes are working swimmingly like our backups. Chairman leaders never ever a problem. And then with some of the updates, there was a problem and it caused one of the backups not to work. Well, now we have something to do. You know, because for some reason it failed on one piece of it. So back with the files and because we monitor this stuff very actively, this is what happens. And then we jump into action where there's something to do. We've had a big project with the school even working on. So that's kept us really busy working and putting all the quotes together. And I haven't done as many videos on site because it's been really tough to wander around with a camera at some of the clients and put this together. And also I did a video that's coming on site, but I have to do... I screwed it up a little bit. Oh no. Yeah. I was playing with the card, flipping the camera on and off and I popped the card while it was on. Turns out I corrupted the video I shot. So I knew, I was seeing what would happen and now I completely know what would happen. This was a test. This was a test. This was... Can I do something done with this? I was just playing around with it and I don't know. Whenever what you're about to do starts with, I wonder what will happen if I do this. It's rarely going to go well. Yeah, that happens. Though I will say this quick aside though, that works well at Home Depot though. If you're not getting any help, if you just say I wonder if this will break if I do this. Five people will come out of the woodwork. Yeah, absolutely. Out of the woodworking department. See what I did there? Tom got it. I got it. Told you we're punny. Yeah, I was talking a little about the PC repair business. We've been... Now we talked about this before and other people, I know we have a few people who have MSPs, they asked about running a retail store. We don't plan on closing a retail store. So the benefit of the retail store is we have established hours, people can bring their computers in, and that has led to a lot of business leads for us. We actually just got a good social media lead and a website lead off of a guy who came in and we fixed a broken screen. He happens to own a business and he brought it in. We like doing the repair side. Don't have any problems with that. That's still a lesser than it was because we usually repair tons of screens. Screen repairs have really plummeted and the reason why is even our inexpensive price for screen repairs, people go, I guess I just want to buy a new laptop. And the other thing about... Now the hardware sales, that has been going down dramatically. And I like this guy that came in. He was obnoxious. He walks in. We want $7 for an HDMI cable. Best Buy wants $29. And he even said that. Best Buy wanted $29. You guys want $7 for the same cable. I said, yeah, that's reasonable. Well, I can get it on Amazon for $2.99. And I'm like, yeah, that's where we bought it from for $2.99. Why don't you sell it for that price? Because I wouldn't make any money. Right. So I did. I paid $3 or $2.50, I think it was, because we bought it in bulk and marked it up to $7. And he told me I was ridiculously overpriced. I'm like, I don't get it. Dude, it's the overpriced compared to $29.99 at Best Buy. Yeah. Because I guarantee you, they paid less than $2.50 for it. Yeah, because they bought it. Because they bought 100,000 of them. Yeah. So this is the part that always confused me. People want that Amazon price. They want the convenience. But they want it now. And it's funny, the guy left, and then he came back and gave us $7 for it. I'm like, really, it's... This is why we don't have a lot of retail is because the general public, not that I have a problem with, I'm not picking on them, but there's a lot of people hunting deals. Great, I hunt deals too. That's also why I generally buy online or do some other price comparisons. And I get that. That's where the market has moved to. I watch these people struggling because if you're not adding any value, then why would you sell the product? And then the products are all MSRP with no margin or low margin or small percentages. You know, we talked about this before. This is why Best Buy spends all their time singing and dancing about warranties. Now, the other side of that is Best Buy has... I think they sell the policy of 14 days to return to anything. And after that, they tell you to call the manufacturer.  I'll bring it back. And we've had people do this two years after they bought something and expect some type of warranty with it. And I'm like, look, we sold it in writing, 90-day warranty, you know? And people are like, well, I brought it in a shop and you're no more. And I'm like, this is one of the reasons that we've just seen products because the margin was so small on it to begin with trying to replace it for free two years later. And yeah. So we pretty much have focused only on service. If you think about running a retail place, the service side's good. The market for product, selling a couple of convenience items, that's all we really have in there. Most of the stuff in our front area is our stuff that we use. Like we got switches and a few other things there. And people rarely ever come in looking for that because other IT people... And at least I have... We have sold to some other IT people because they're understanding. They're like, I know I can get it on Amazon. It's probably where you bought it. But I have a problem. So we have relationship with our IT companies and they don't mind paying the market. But they have an understanding and those are our favorite customers has been other IT people. Yeah. We don't have any laptops up there right now. I don't think we're going to do any more, are we? No. It's been... We try to find used ones. When you can go buy, and I know they're crappy laptops, but you can go buy at Best Buy right now. We've seen some for $2.49. We've even seen some nice ones at Best of Decent ones between Amazon and Best Buy. Nice and Lovo's in the $5, $600 range. And I'm like, great. The used ones don't match the speed, don't have Windows 10, which a lot of people are now asking for. So we're paying a lot for them. Then the labor... You know how many times we bought laptops? And this includes from what seemed to be reputable sellers and had to send them back because they shipped them with bad hard drives to us. So I have all this labor sunk cost into them just to try and make a product sellable. So by the time I had up all the labor costs and the cost of the product, I'm like, the margin was this big. And then if the problems...  So we've just kind of gone to where it's just the margin's real small on it. Buy a new one. Matter of fact, we started publishing Amazon links with Amazon affiliate links right on our blog. And I did a video on it because people could have asked me deals for Christmas. So I did a deals for Christmas list. We read a list of some laptops. Matter of fact, the Acer Gaming laptop was really impressive. It was a really nice high-end laptop that you could buy for a very reasonable price. And I'm like, this is a good price. I can't beat the price. I can't even find any order that sells it for cheaper. And I got this guy. He kept calling me. I kind of laughed. Well, we sell with other MSPs like you and we help provide product and things like that. And I said, oh, great. And so when I've called him for pricing, he's been able to beat Amazon by $1 and $2 on 800 and $900 dollar products. That's worth it. Yeah. Because people just buy you order for Amazon. Remember the Lenovo reseller incident? Yeah. Well, Lenovo wants more money as a reseller. And we haven't figured out the methodology. We found a couple of vendors on Amazon again that are selling the Lenovo. The cheaper the Lenovo will sell them to me.  And this is what we buy for our clients. And we're not secretive about our pricing for this stuff. And if the client wants us to buy it, there's a certain amount of markup. It's just the management fee for us getting them and dealing with them. And mostly we roll it all into a bigger project because we're replacing, for example, we have a project where we're putting new computers in an office and we're going to be replacing them and they need wiring. So it's just one big project.  So we just order all the stuff. We get them here. They all come with warranty. Matter of fact, they come with a two-year warranty online because that was the other thing you got. Well, if you buy them in Amazon, they don't come with a warranty. I'm like, they do. Yeah. And matter of fact, even some of the Dell's have come with the Dell onsite warranty when we order Dell's online. We don't know why Amazon can sell Dell's cheaper than Dell can. I contact Dell directly. Now there's tricks to dealing with Dell directly where you put it in the cart but then you call a sales person and then really that generally gives you a three-year warranty or a five-year warranty. Just let you guys know. Yeah. So we play games with the system as much as we can for margin but it makes it hard to put product in here because a lot of people, other than the businesses who just want a turnkey solution for the retail market, they who are already looking at the deal, if they get time to haggle with someone online, they go do it. Yeah. So short of it, we're keeping a retail store. Long of it, we aren't doing much product sale because the value isn't truly there. Matter of fact, retail in general, they keep calling it the retail apocalypse. They said it last year, we're seeing it but we are seeing a big shrinking of stores. Oh yeah. There's really not a lot of places. I mean, there's a lot of areas, especially down river here, that just don't have stores anymore. There's so many vacant buildings used to sell things that are commoditized now that you can go buy and do it online and that's what people want to do. Yeah. So it's been... I'm guilty of it myself. Yeah, it's not even... That part's not always about price. You're paying for the convenience. I know something may be a little bit more expensive but the retail experience is less than stellar to me. So I don't like going to stores. I don't like standing in lines. I don't... There's nothing about that experience that I enjoy. Sure. Yeah. So when I can just go, send me three boxes of pop tarts. Quantity four because I'm feeling hungry right now. Wait, do we get new pop parts?  Right, yeah. We need the pop tart button. We need a pop tart button. As well as, you know, people who bought pop tarts also bought ho-hos and we're like, oh yeah, we totally should get ho-hos. Yeah, there's their algorithmic suggestion engines. And it's a good one. Yeah. And I don't mind it. I do see some innovation. We have our local Kroger's, as they have their click it thing, which is pretty cool. They're doing each job of that. What you can do is you shop online, put everything in the cart, and they will walk it to your car. I think that's pretty cool. Sure. You just pull up. You... I don't think it's an app. And on my wife uses it. I don't... I think it's an app too. I haven't used it, but... But it's kind of cool. They got a little area you pull up to it and they put the groceries. You just pop the trunk, they put the grocery and the trunk. Done. They do all the shopping for you. They pull it. That's actually really great because now we've avoided the part that drives me nuts with things like blue apron or plated or all those. It's the amount of waste involved. That is a problem I see and I'm very... I try to be very conscious of packaging and they pack in all these stupid... What are those things? The coolers, the stuff.  I don't know. I haven't used it, but I've talked to people who have and they've said the exact same thing. My wife did and it's just like... There's so many boxes and everything and I know there's the whole problem with plastic bags and things like that, but if you get paper bags, it's not that bad comparatively and you can recycle those easier. And there's much less waste overall compared to the amount of plastic and effort that went into it. You just drive to the store and you can get things now. So you can go on your computer. I need 10 boxes of optart please and they will walk them out to your car. You don't even have to do your car. Then hire a task rabbit to go actually pick up the food. You can get a task rabbit. And they'll bring it home and put it away for you too if that's what you've hired them to do. That's true. That's true. I mean I'm just... I was thinking about that, is I don't have one of those fancy... Because I don't put IoT things at my house but I do have a Marcus. I realize I use a Marcus a lot. If you haven't heard of this device, it's taken years of training, a loving to be precise. And I can be like, hey Marcus, turn the lights off. Hey Marcus, I need some water. That's the main reason to have children. I mean back... I mean we kind of grew up when they were kind of coming in but like at first you didn't have remote controls for the TV. I was the TV remote. We were the remote control. We were the remote control. We had the clicker thing. Yeah. Turn it and Dad's like, nope. Channel 4. Nope. Channel 7. And something you get from a Marcus that you don't get from some of these other assistants is snarkiness. Right? I can't remember if I mentioned this before but I was like, hey Marcus, grab me a beer out of the fridge. He says, Dad, that would make me a minor in possession. No. I was like, he's not wrong. You can't argue that logic. Kids gotten... He is now too advanced. The AI has gotten too advanced. Yeah, now we... Yeah, so... Do you yell like, okay Marcus? Like an okay Marcus. Okay Marcus. Yeah, no. It's fun getting your kids to do stuff. Sure. And my daughter now that she's 16... Oh, she can drive you places? She can drive me places? So this is like self-driving car. Yeah, exactly. Who needs a test live in Amica? That's right. Okay, Amica, take me to Kroger where they're going to load stuff in our car. Yep, drive me to Kroger. It is my best... It's my favorite way to text and drive. It keeps me distracted from whatever it is she's like. I'm like, I want to reach over to Sherman like, we need to go this...  Though she says I am better to drive with the mom. And apparently mom has panic attacks. Oh, yeah. Well, I remember when I had my permit, it was a perfect example of the difference between my mom and dad. I kind of... I totally should have stopped at the yellow light, but I didn't. I went on through it. Yeah. Mom in the back seat, freaking out.  And my dad was finally just like, okay, you should have stopped at that. Yep. That was the difference, right? Oh, okay. I get the point. Yeah, pretty simple. All right, we've rambled on for long enough. Thank you for watching. If you liked the content here, like and subscribe. If you've lasted this long, like and subscribe. We always get a little slap happy towards the end. Make sure you always watch to the end of the show. We're having fun with Off Topic Tuesday. That's been great. We actually, we're working more on... I think we did a good job with the content. We're working on it because we've been curing the content during the week. We start building it all up so we actually can talk more in depth about it and reading it. So, and sometimes people send us suggestions. We have a fun one. Kyle sent me. Oh, really? Yes, apparently you can threaten the Google Assistant. So that'll be... Yes. All right. We're going to cover Easter eggs and assistants because we're going to see how many we can find. At least the one, the or else one is fun with Google. We'll talk about that in prior to it. So once again, thank you for watching. Thank you for rambling on with us. I do have a Patreon if you want to throw money at us. Thank you very much. We really, really appreciate it. Sure. If you don't have any money, don't.  All right. Thanks. See you.
