“I've had a couple of or-jeeze,” Jessica tells me to the delight of my orjee-friendly DrSuzy.Tv in-studio audience in this vintage S3X Calls clip filmed at Dr. Suzy's Speakeasy in the old Villa Piacere.  Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & S3xuality!    Jessica's problem is that every time she tells a new boyfriend about her bacchanalian soirées, he breaks up with her. So, she wants to know, should she keep her er0tic exploits a secret or find someone who will accept that part of her? To tell or not to tell? That IS the question, and the choice tends to break down to what some sexologists call the “American way” of sexual honesty with your partner or the “European way” of “leading a double life.” To help Jessica choose her path, I ask if she's the kind of woman who wants to share who she is - orjeeze and all - with the person she loves.

Host Bex Scott invites the husband of a Pyrex collector, or hoarder, onto the show to tell what it's like to be the partner of a collector. To protect his identity, since his wife doesn't know he's on the podcast, he is called Rex. This is his uncensored view of Pyrex collecting from the support side.Protected by anonymity, Bex gets Rex's unguarded opinions on all things Pyrex. He shares that they recently had to move house due to his wife's collecting “vintage knickknacky whatnots and doohickeys”. He answers every question you want to be answered: what his favorite pattern is, what Pyrex dish he exploded, how often he is dragged to thrift stores, why his wife is like the United Colors of Benetton, and what his most hated pattern is. This is an amazing look behind the veil of a Pyrex home from the perspective of the non-collecting partner. Resources discussed in this episode:Corning Museum of Glass Pyrex Pattern Library—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex With Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares.

Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Bex Scott: [00:00:31] Hey, everybody, this is Bex Scott, and you're listening to the Pyrex With Bex podcast. Today's episode is one that you don't want to miss because I am interviewing the husband of a Pyrex collector, so stay tuned to learn all about his side of the Pyrex addiction. Bex Scott: [00:00:49] Hey everybody, welcome back for another episode of the Pyrex With Bex podcast. I am super excited for you guys to listen to this one today, because I have a special guest that I know you'll all love. He is the husband of a Pyrex collector or hoarder, if you will, and he's here secretly so his wife doesn't know that he's doing this podcast. So to keep his anonymity, we are going to give him an alias. And today he's going to be known as Rex. So I'd like to welcome Rex to the show today. He's going to give you a little bit of insight into his world, having a wife that is a Pyrex hoarder, a vintage lover. And I know that behind every collector and Pyrex obsessed collector and vintage lover, there is a spouse, a partner, somebody who is in the background having to put up with everything that we put them through on a daily basis. So welcome, Rex. Rex: [00:01:52] Thanks for having me. I wish you had one of those voice synthesizers that make it even better. Bex Scott: [00:01:58] Turn you into T-Pain on the Pyrex podcast. Rex: [00:02:02] That'd be sweet. Bex Scott: [00:02:03] So thanks so much for being here today, and I hope your wife isn't too mad that we're doing this if she ever finds out. But I wanted to get your take on what your life is like living with a Pyrex collector. Rex: [00:02:17] Well, simply put, we have lots and lots of stuff in the house. We have a storage room that is dedicated to all of her stuff. We have boxes full of all sorts of different Pyrex and vintage knickknacksy whatnots and doohickeys and thingamajigs. So we are, we are surrounded from every direction. Bex Scott: [00:02:46] That sounds like a dream for me. Rex: [00:02:50] I thought you might say that. Bex Scott: [00:02:53] And how would you say her collecting and hoarding has impacted your life? Rex: [00:02:59] Well, recently we had to move, recently, and I will say here as Rex that it was because we ran out of space for Pyrex and our children. But, uh, it's very interesting to say the least. And being an older guy, it's funny how some of the things that she has found or digs up out of the archives of the 10 billion boxes that we have in the house, take me back to moments in my childhood, whether it be from my grandparents or my parents when I was a kid remembering different kinds of balls and knickknacks and whatnots that we used to have around the house. Bex Scott: [00:03:41] Nice. So from the standpoint of it bringing back great memories of family and things that you've had from your childhood, it sounds like a positive thing, but maybe not on the side of running out of space in your home, having to potentially relocate because of her addiction. Rex: [00:04:01] Yeah, that part's good. I mean, we got to the point where we had a spare bedroom in the basement of our old house that had to be converted into a Pyrex knickknack warehouse. We had to put up shelving and and all sorts of tables and shipping labels and bubble wrap and those foamy popcorn thingamajigs that get everywhere. So, yeah, it was, uh, anybody who wanted to sleep over is on the couch or on the floor. Bex Scott: [00:04:35] Displaced by old bowls. Rex: [00:04:38] Yeah. How odd does that sound? Bex Scott: [00:04:41] Well, you sound like a very caring and understanding husband for building all these shelves and dedicating a whole room in your house just for her. So I think she's a pretty lucky lady. Rex: [00:04:54] The things we do for love, you know. Bex Scott: [00:04:57] And how long has your wife been collecting for? Rex: [00:05:00] I think it's about four years now. Four long years. But yeah, but four years. Bex Scott: [00:05:09] Four of the longest years of your life, would you say? Rex: [00:05:11] Most definitely. Bex Scott: [00:05:14] And when she started collecting, did you know about Pyrex and what it was, or what were your kind of initial thoughts and your headspace around Pyrex? Rex: [00:05:27] Well, my initial thoughts or concerns was that my wife had been possessed by a very old geriatric woman in that she had this massive obsession with matching bowls and relic knickknacks and stuff. Sorry. What was the other part of your question? Bex Scott: [00:05:48] And did you know what Pyrex was when she started collecting? Rex: [00:05:54] I, yeah, I knew the name. I knew it was used for like cooking and stuff because we had some clear Pyrex that we used for casseroles or whatever. So I was familiar with the name, but I had no clue that there were so many patterns and colors and shapes and all that. Like, I was flabbergasted, honestly, at how much variety there was. I don't know if it's still like that, but, uh, definitely in the old days, it was certainly a thing. Bex Scott: [00:06:28] Yeah. Pyrex has gotten, I think, a lot more boring lately with the modern types that they're making. They definitely don't make it like they used to with the nice milk glass and the different patterns and colors. It's all very... There's Disney and they've remade some of the vintage pieces into the more modern take, the glass, clear glass bottoms with the plastic lids and it's to me not as exciting, but I guess it is a way for the company to carry on and keep making money. And it has a place in some people's homes, so that's a good thing. Rex: [00:07:07] Yeah, I'm not familiar with the modern stuff. I'm only familiar with the stuff that's as old as me. Bex Scott: [00:07:12] That's good. Rex: [00:07:13] Or older. Bex Scott: [00:07:14] That's how it should be. So in your household, who does most of the cooking? Rex: [00:07:23] Uh, that's all on my shoulders. Yeah, I do all the cooking and predominantly all the baking and stuff, too, in the house. Bex Scott: [00:07:31] Very nice. You have a very lucky wife then. Rex: [00:07:33] You got that right. Bex Scott: [00:07:37] And when you cook and you bake, do you use the Pyrex that she collects? Are you allowed to use it? Rex: [00:07:44] Well, that's a, that could be a bit of a delicate subject, but short answer, yes. And you know, I'll admit that despite my smarty pants remarks about everything, I have a signature chocolate cake that I make that's gluten free and can be lactose free and, um, I always use the standard kind of tin cake pans, and they always would stick, no matter how many gallons of Pam you dump in it, it would still stick. And parchment paper just made them look weird. And, uh, she suggested trying this one pink and one weird lime looking colored round Pyrex dishes from 1876 and gave it a little spurt of Pam. And the cakes just came out perfect, and they came right off the bottom. There was like, almost no residue left. I was thoroughly, thoroughly blown away with how how well they performed. So I was a convert there for sure. In terms of casseroles and stuff, I sometimes will use them like for shepherd's pie. It works really well, especially for keeping the heat in after. The delicate subject was, she had this one bowl that she was very proud that she acquired, which was, well you people will know what it is, this Big Bertha, I'm not sure what the print was. It was yellow with some white flowery things on it or something. Anyway, I was, uh, making a roast in it, and I'd like to say for the record that I had zero direction on Pyrex. Bex Scott: [00:09:25] Sure, sure. Blame it on the wife. Rex: [00:09:27] Well, it's true story. So, um, there are no, uh, 1950s directions with this thing. So, anyway, I, uh, mistakenly had put the Pyrex dish on the stove. Bex Scott: [00:09:41] Oh, no. Rex: [00:09:42] With the roast in it that I had, uh, seared and had turned it on. And then I had a jus that I'd made that I was pouring in. And for those of you who know what you're not supposed to do, it quite literally exploded. Bex Scott: [00:10:00] Oh, no. Rex: [00:10:02] Yeah, that was one of my prouder Pyrex moments in my life. Bex Scott: [00:10:07] How long were you in the doghouse for that one? Rex: [00:10:11] Oh, I didn't hear the end of it for a good three months. Yeah. And it still was brought up to this day. So it's going to be one of those things that's kind of like, uh, a cold sore. You just, you never get rid of it. Bex Scott: [00:10:22] And did you finally replace the Bertha for her? Rex: [00:10:26] Uh, well she did. I'm hopeless at finding this stuff, but she managed to find a replacement and then forbade me from touching it ever again. Bex Scott: [00:10:34] That's a pretty scary story. And hopefully you have proof of this to show people down the road. Rex: [00:10:41] Well, I did take a picture of the aftermath, but I was trying to be all, you know, uh, Gordon Ramsay style and show off my cooking abilities. So I'm sad to say, for my own sake, that I actually videotaped the, uh, the event as I was pouring in the jus you can see the whole thing just explode. Bex Scott: [00:11:03] That's amazing. I think you're gonna have to share that video with me. Rex: [00:11:08] For the right price. Sure. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:11:12] Oh, your poor wife. It's hard to find those Berthas. They're expensive, and they don't come around very often. Rex: [00:11:20] Yeah, there's one less Bertha in the world now. Bex Scott: [00:11:23] That's okay. You make up for it by doing all the cooking for her. So you're redeemed. Rex: [00:11:28] Perfect. Can you let her know? That'd be great. Bex Scott: [00:11:30] I'll try. I'll put a memo in. And does your wife collect one particular color or pattern, or does she tend to hoard them all, like some of us do? Rex: [00:11:43] We should really refer to her as the United Colors of Benetton. She doesn't discriminate. She loves all patterns and shapes and bowls equally, as can be witnessed by the copious boxes we have on the shelves in the basement. Bex Scott: [00:12:00] Very nice. That sounds like a great collector. A little bit of everything. Rex: [00:12:06] Uh, sure. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:12:08] You're not convinced, though? Rex: [00:12:11] I plead the fifth. Bex Scott: [00:12:13] And of all of the patterns that she has, do you have a favorite pattern? Rex: [00:12:19] Yeah. Once I started to warm up to the whole thing, I started to turn, I too became, you know, I was, what's the word? Bex Scott: [00:12:30] You saw the light? Rex: [00:12:32] Possessed. No, no, no, it's like the demon possessing me. Pyrex demon. And she has a lot of the Homestead it's called, pattern in the blue. I like the look of it. It was cool. And when I saw it all together, like, laid out, I was kind of impressed with all the different sizes and shapes. And I ended up gravitating to using them for serving because it, yeah, you know what? It makes the table look nice instead of the way I used to do it, which is just like, you know, dinner plates with different piles of food on it. Um, presentation wise, it was great. So that when we had, like, our parents over or whatever, then it just made for a nice spread. So that was a pattern that I originally liked. But then, and I will admit this, I am very fond of the black snowflake pattern. I really, really, really like that. Bex Scott: [00:13:28] So that is a great one. Rex: [00:13:29] That has given her all the green light that she wanted in her life to go out and go forth and seek out and find all the black snowflake. And we have a fairly good, we're only missing, I think, a couple of the entire collection and have some doubles, but they are, they look really nice and uh, of course function great. So that's my favorite. There's a few others that are cool, like the one-offs that have the gold foil. Those look pretty neat. But the black snowflake is kind of my favorite serving dish that I like to use. Bex Scott: [00:14:01] So I have to agree with you that the black snowflake is an awesome pattern. But have you seen the English Pyrex? The JAJ Pyrex version? That's the white with the black snowflake. Rex: [00:14:15] Yes. As part of my, uh, Pyrex indoctrination by my wife, I have learned about there being an alternate Pyrex universe across the pond, and, uh, she showed me how they have a snowflake one, but it's sort of like the inverse, I guess, of what is here. One of my grievances that I can't voice because they stopped making them back before I was born, was that they didn't seem to have a butter dish or a gravy boat that matched the black snowflake that we have now, to kind of compliment like a turkey dinner or whatever. And, um, yeah, she showed me that there's these butter dishes and gravy boats over in the UK that are the sort of inverted snowflake version of what we have, which I would really love to get. They look super nice, even though they are kind of the flip side color pattern. It's crazy though, like you can get the dish for 10 or 15 bucks, but then it's like $30 shipping or something ridiculous or, so I mean, as much as I'd like to have those, it seems a bit excessive to pay that much money, so hold out for when we have a friend going back to England or something. See if they can't fill a suitcase full of-- Bex Scott: [00:15:36] -- that would be great-- Rex: [00:15:37] -- Pyrex to bring back. Bex Scott: [00:15:38] Yeah, yeah. It's funny how there's the JAJ in the UK and then they have Aggie Pyrex as well, which I believe is from Australia, and they're beautiful dishes. And like you said, there's a whole other universe of these dishes out there, but it is quite expensive with shipping and you don't find them here as often as you would just because they're made over there. And we have the US and the Canadian Pyrex here. So it's always fun to look online and see what you could purchase from Etsy or Poshmark or eBay, but that shipping really kills you. So not as fun on that side of things. So you've talked about Homestead, the black snowflake, is there a pattern that you really dislike that your wife has either bought, brought home, and forced you to look at or you just know exists? And you, she may not have any of it, but you just really despise. Rex: [00:16:41] Well, we do have the, uh, Space Traveler's Guide to Pyrex book that she that bought shows all the different patterns and whatnot, which again blew my mind as to how many different things have been produced. But of all the ones I - and if anybody takes offense to this, I'm sorry, but you know, with therapy and counseling, you'll get past it - the Verdey or Verde, that green one with the weird sort of like round, smudgy fingerprint flower thingies on the lid, like... Bex Scott: [00:17:12] That's a beautiful description. Rex: [00:17:15] It's just so ugly. I just, it's a color I just can't get past. And she has a bunch of it, which, you know, it'd be a shame, but, you know, a box may fall on the concrete floor one day. Bex Scott: [00:17:28] Uh oh. The Pyrex graveyard with the Bertha that you destroyed. Rex: [00:17:33] Yeah. But, you know, in fairness, she's broken her fair share of dishes, too. So. And not from cooking, just from, you know, hacky sack, the bowl, or butterfingers or... Bex Scott: [00:17:46] I can understand that. I've broken a ton of them myself. So the graveyard is getting bigger and bigger every day. Rex: [00:17:54] Well, if you could, uh, you know, impart some skills and ideas on how she could improve our graveyard here, that'd be amazing, because then we'd have so much more space. Bex Scott: [00:18:04] Well, there are people who make jewelry out of the broken Pyrex so you could scoop up-- Rex: [00:18:09] So I'll grab my sledgehammer and just give her. Bex Scott: [00:18:13] Yeah and then send it away and have some jewelry made for her. There, I have solved all of the problems. Rex: [00:18:18] I'm sure she would just be so happy with that. Bex Scott: [00:18:21] I bet she would. So is it just Pyrex that your wife collects and hoards, or is it various other vintage items as well? Rex: [00:18:31] Well, in staying true to the theme of Benetton, she doesn't discriminate with just only collecting Pyrex. She collects anything and everything that's old and dusty and musty and is, in quotes, vintage. So we have, oh my gosh, we have glasses and mugs and shirts and magazine holders and ashtrays. What else? There's just Christmas lights, old Christmas lights, old Christmas ornaments, you name it. We're, yeah, we're like a vintage thrift store. Bex Scott: [00:19:10] That sounds amazing. Rex: [00:19:12] I figured you might say that. Bex Scott: [00:19:13] And is this all in your basement, or is it kind of decorating your house, or do you live in a very vintage-y, musty, dusty house as you describe these items? Rex: [00:19:29] Well, most of it is contained within the room, but it does seem to find ways to sneak out at night and place itself on various countertops, couches, floors. Yeah. Railings? Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:19:46] Like vintage booby traps? Rex: [00:19:49] Exactly. It's like, you know, like the movie Gremlins. Like, they just seem to multiply and they're everywhere. That's dating myself. But yes, if anybody's familiar with the movie Gremlins, that's what it's like. Somebody spilling water and there's little vintage gremlins everywhere. Bex Scott: [00:20:04] And does she keep all of the vintage items or is she a reseller? Rex: [00:20:10] She is a reseller. She needed a bit of a push to get going on the reselling because she was just more focused on the hoarding part. And then when the kids were having to sleep with Pyrex bowls and vintage shirts, we realized that, you know, she needs to start, uh, parting ways with some things. So. So she's gone into, um, listing the bowls and other vintage knickknacks that she doesn't like as much as her coveted - what the heck is it called? The pink and the turquoise Pyrex? Like, that's her, those are her babies as well as the, uh, primary color ones. But other ones she, like I can tell you one thing. Those Verde ones are not moving fast enough, but, she-- Rex: [00:21:05] They're haunting you. Bex Scott: [00:21:05] -- no she does sell it. They do. I have, I'm in therapy right now for it because I've had to talk about it. So now when she goes, finds things, it's not necessarily stuff that she wants, which is what she used to do. It's more kind of like things that she thinks other people might appreciate. Bex Scott: [00:21:24] That sounds like the right way to do it for reselling. It's tricky when you tend to buy things that only you like, and then you try to move them, and nobody wants to buy them because it's your taste instead of kind of predicting what the market out there wants. So that's a very savvy way of reselling. And how did she find all of her items? Rex: [00:21:49] For the most part she frequents the, you know, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Vallue Village up here in Canada for anybody's from the States, just another sort of, uh, thrift store. There are sometimes these one-off ones that she comes across in different towns and cities that she'll go in and see, but that's probably the main way. She's, uh, also got big into watching estate sales and, uh, online auctions because it seems that there's a lot of old stuff that gets sold in those things, just mostly because there's only a a small group of you crazy folk who want that stuff. So a lot of people, that's why I find it kind of surprising, honestly, like she found a snowflake dish, black snowflake dish the other day. Like, was it a couple of weeks ago, maybe, in one of the stores and I was blown away that she found it, because I just find it surprising that - maybe it's just because it's the pattern I like - but that people would just donate it and not even look to see if it's worth anything. But I guess if you're, you know, sadly, clearing out a loved one, like grandparent's, house or something you don't want to be belaboring your grief by going through all their stuff like that. But anyway, so it's nice that people will donate that stuff so that other people can enjoy it. Bex Scott: [00:23:15] Yeah. The estate sales are, they're definitely fun. It is sad to think that somebody may have passed and these are their belongings that are being sold. But the way I see it is I'm collecting them to kind of help keep that memory going. And all the Pyrex dishes that I keep, I love each of them, and... It really does sound like they're my children. Jeeze, maybe I am a crazy person. On that note... Rex: [00:23:48] I'll plead the fifth again. Bex Scott: [00:23:52] Has she ever taken you to the thrift stores when she's gone? Rex: [00:23:57] Oh, my God, all the time. Yeah. No, it's, uh, it's become a mainstay of our routine. Buy food for the family, go to the thrift store, get gas for the car, go to the thrift store. Go to the thrift store. Go to the thrift store. Take the kids to swimming, go to the thrift store. Yeah. So we, uh, go frequently, but it's, you know, I've been somewhat infected by it. It is pretty fun. Uh, sometimes, like I will, you know, with shame admit there is one time we were at, I'm really quite enamored with the carnival glass stuff that looks, I like the look of it, it's really quite cool. Bex Scott: [00:24:38] Yeah. It's pretty. Rex: [00:24:38] And we were at a Vallue Village one day, and I was looking down the aisles and I got all giddy like a school girl when I found this gigantic carnival glass punchbowl with 14 carnival glass, like it was all intact except for the spoon, I guess. The serving spoon or ladle. It was beautiful. And, uh, I was quite excited about that. So I showed it to her, and I think she was quite happy that I was all excited about it. Bex Scott: [00:25:12] That's a great score. Rex: [00:25:13] It was a smoking good deal. It was, I think it was like $14 or something or $12 for this entire thing. So. Bex Scott: [00:25:21] That's awesome. Rex: [00:25:22] I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but, uh, maybe this coming summer, next summer we'll bust it out. Bex Scott: [00:25:28] Very cool. And has there been anything weird or strange that you've come across? What's your best Value Village or thrift store experience? Rex: [00:25:42] Oh my gosh, there's so many. There is so much weird stuff there that I'm surprised that they can even sell it. More to do with clothing, but, uh, I don't know. Sometimes you see stuff in there that you're questioning why they're even trying to sell it, because the condition of it is just so bad. Like there's those cornflower metal, I don't know what those are called, those big metal cooking like, I guess, a crock pot in a way, maybe? Bex Scott: [00:26:14] Oh, yeah. Like the roasting pans? Rex: [00:26:16] There was one, yeah, exactly. And there was one that I saw and it was just chipped to death like it'd be horrible to cook with. And I was a bit surprised to see something in that poor condition on the shelf. Especially, it was quite expensive too, it wasn't all that cheap. It was like 25 or $30. And I was just kind of like, that seems like a lot of money for something that's so used and abused. One thing I've found in all the multitude of stores that we've been to, there are definitely some that just, you know, they put a price tag on it and they just sell it for whatever seems reasonable to them. And there's others that seem to be more savvy with the value of the Pyrex world or the cornflower world or all this vintage stuff. And I've learned through my wife, like some of these prices are, they're just kind of ridiculous, especially from a resale standpoint. But even from a non-resale standpoint, like they're just, some places are just kind of a little out to lunch or maybe, I don't want to, I feel bad calling a thrift store greedy, but for the sake that they're doing stuff for good, but it's like if you really want to move the items, you have to be, you know, somewhat reasonable with your pricing. So it's just been funny to kind of see the disparity between different locations because obviously some people that work there are dialed in and others aren't. And so yeah. Bex Scott: [00:27:44] Yeah, and I think a lot of them have gotten savvy to people coming in that are collectors and resellers, and they Google the items that people have donated to find out the prices and they jack them up. Even when I've gone, I've found certain shelves that you can tell the staff have been hiding items on behind things. So I've found PlayStation games and Pyrex dishes in totally the wrong aisle. But it's likely because somebody works there that knows somebody who would want it and they hide it for them. So I've gone back 3 or 4 nights in a row, and it's always in that one spot that they're hiding something, and the price is really low so that this person gets a good deal. So it works out well for me. But there's definitely some shady stuff that goes on. Rex: [00:28:35] Yeah, it's good when you've cracked the code, hey? Bex Scott: [00:28:38] Well, so in closing, Rex, what would you say? As words of encouragement for anyone living with a Pyrex hoarder that may have a partner that's one, a friend, a family member, that they have to endure on a daily basis. Rex: [00:28:56] Well. Be strong, for one. You have to be understanding and considerate. But, you know, let's be honest here, this is a golden key for you to do your own thing and have your own obsession or your own thing, and they can't say anything about it. So in my case, I have a big car hobby fetish and yeah, so it's like a get out of jail free card. I can do it all I want. And she doesn't have any recourse because of, well, look at our storage room. So my words of encouragement are if you are wanting to have some sort of a vice or hobby or addiction of your own, and you have a Pyrex hoarder in your life, now is the time. Bex Scott: [00:29:48] That is spoken like a true survivor of a Pyrex hoarder. Bex Scott: [00:29:57] Well, thank you so much, Rex, for being on my podcast. I'm sure it was very enlightening for my listeners and myself even, to hear about the other side of the Pyrex collector world. Rex: [00:30:10] Well, my darling wife, it was my absolute pleasure and pure joy to be on your show today, to share my side of my life with you. And it's amazing and interesting and definitely never dull. So. But I have to go, dinner's almost ready, so don't be late. Love you. Bex Scott: [00:30:29] Well, thank you for supporting me through my addiction. And I'll help you through your car addiction as well. And I will see you in the kitchen. Love you.

This one was less calls, less premises. It's because "do you love your customers" seems to make people want to talk to you for a very long time. And the hotel front desk lady who was freaking out just because I said I had drugs. Jeeze lady, it's a cheap hotel. There's drugs. Get over it. So; Customer Love, and a pair of long Making Friends calls are the main contributions to the show, with a great Employee/Employer call, hissing buns, gas size, and gas return with wasted. i know thats a terrible description, but it's mostly a bunch of really long "do you love your customer" calls and they're all great. Enjoy I hope.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 2:07  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the unstoppable convo I had with Camee Adams in our last episode. If you you haven't yet listened to that episode, go back. Watch it, then come back, join us here or put it in your like, play next to this like back to back sandwich of Be It Till You See It. Enjoy. I really enjoyed talking with her. I think first of all, if you watch the YouTube version of that, you probably saw my eyes change and like my face just like changed when I realized that I think she's younger than me but her during college. And I was like, well,Brad Crowell 2:43  She's younger than your other kids in college. Yeah. And she's a fighter.Lesley Logan 2:47  Yeah, she's a fighter. She's all these things. And it's like, Well, what did you What did you do Lesley with your life? Yeah.Brad Crowell 2:55  So in prep for this, I Googled her. I just looked her up. Yeah, she's a badass. I mean, there's some amazing pictures of her. Prepping for and then actually in the ring.Lesley Logan 3:08  Yeah, no, I mean, totally. And then somebody tagged me in something recently. And she commented because she saw so we like have mutual friends. Yeah, it's like, in Vegas, so we have to connect. (Brad: small world)I know. I love this world. So anyways, yeah, Googled her, check her out. But also, yes, did the math. Home girl was very efficient with her younger life. We'll just say that. So before I end this interview, I do want to say, reminder, if you're watching this in real time, first of all, thank you wait to be on it, like on the real time kind of person. And then also, if you just found us and you're binging out, Hi, you're late, but you can still get an information on what I'm about to say. So in a few days, the OPC, one day, event, special, workshop, roll up on the mat. I'm saying it like it's a fight. Doo doo doo doo is happening. So on Sunday, this Sunday.Brad Crowell 4:04  The virtual corner we welcome the OPC one day event workshop roll up on the mat. It's pilates y'all, it's pilates.Lesley Logan 4:18  So the roll up is an exercise that most people really struggle with. Brad hates it. He does way better now, but if you haven't chosen...Brad Crowell 4:25  When I was first getting started it was...Lesley Logan 4:28  You came up like a vampire, you came up like... (Brad: like a vampire?!). Like straight up out of the coffin. Your back did not bend. And then if you were a vampire, you were like a, like a mousetrap.Brad Crowell 4:43  I was a mousetrap? like, like catching those...Lesley Logan 4:48  Anyways, um, so it's on Sunday. It's two hours. There'll be a short replay and we're really excited about OPC teachers are joining me to help show you their tricks and steps and strategies for helping the roll up be more embodied in their bodies. And also, what's really cool is once you nail the roll up, you can actually have access to rollovers and teasers and open like rockers and all these and this might also... (Brad: and vampires) and vampires. If this is all gibberish to you, essentially, like if you'd like to have a full body workout that allows you to stretch and strengthen your body and you don't want to work out for an hour all the time. Be at this workshop, the role up is an essential exercise you need to have in your body. We won't take much of your time, just a little bit and you will learn things that will help you no matter where you do Pilates (...)Brad Crowell 5:36  Skip straight to it, go to opc.me/eventsLesley Logan 5:40  Yes, opc.me/events. Okay. And then, hello, OPC members, hello. Um, we have a little tease happening or teasing you right now, we're telling you that there is something exciting that we can't tell you. But if you were at the live class, we told you. So here's the deal. LBC members, something very exciting is happening. It's around the corner. And we will be telling you more about it next month. And we're just like over here like little Pilates elves, working on things, working on things. And then finally, finally, finally, if you are a teacher who is like, Gosh, I really don't want to burn out but I can't teach (...) teach anymore, or you're frustrated with like how to help your clients take pilates to the next level. Or maybe you have forgotten about your connection to the method. Hi, hello, I'm Lesley Logan, I am your elevate. Mentor. Elevate is my mentorship. It's nine, it's a nine month program. Our third round starts in May rounds one and two sold out. And there's only three spots left. Well, I don't know by the time this happens, there can be no spots left. But let's just say there's still the three from when we're recording, I want you in it, I want to work with you. It's my favorite thing that I get to do. It really truly is. I mean, the retreat is also a favorite thing. But like the mentorship is just really a lot of fun. We've spent a lot of time together really help you take to the next level. So go to lesleylogan.co/elevate lesleylogan.co/elevate. And yes, Brad added a fourth bullet. So But wait, there's more... (Brad: there's more) do not skip ahead, you're gonna want to hear about this, the chairs flashcard deck has a has like the printing is in the works. And you can pre order over at the OPC website. You can also check out our other flashcards there and all that we have. But if you are like itching to make sure you get this when the deck is like hot off the actual presses, like literally that's what happens and like can put into a box and then put into mail. You want to order now. Because otherwise, if we sell out, then you have to wait another eight to 10 weeks. That's just how (...)Brad Crowell 7:49  That's hot off the actual presses.Lesley Logan 7:52  Oh, if people have seen a press, that's what it looks like. Yes, it's really cool. There's also you can also go over to the OBC site and on a blog, there's actually a whole video on how these cards are made. It makes. It makes no sense to me how they keep them in order.Brad Crowell 8:06  It's pretty amazing.Lesley Logan 8:07  I'm like, how is that an order though? How is that there? How is it out of order? It's amazing. These are things I don't need to know. It's not my job. All I do is make cards over here. So now before we get into Camee Adams, can you please tell me if we have an audience question to get to?Brad Crowell 8:24  We sure do. So I'm just going to read it off here. I know you love your equipment. But do you recommend a less expensive mat or reformer? And this is from sincerely IG user who uses your your flashcards.Lesley Logan 8:40  I know, I really love this question. And trust me, since I don't actually like make money off of a lot of the referrals I send to equipment. I wish that I could like have like a list of like, here if if you want to spend the top dollar and here's middle dollar and here's like less dollars. But the truth is, is what I cannot do is tell you to buy equipment that you're going to want to replace later on. Like I'm just not good at that. So for this user hearing...Brad Crowell 9:09  I think it's okay that you're not good at that.Lesley Logan 9:10  I'm not good at that. And here's the thing...Brad Crowell 9:13  I literally heard your response to them this morning. And I was like okay, yeah, I agree.Lesley Logan 9:19  So here full disclosure, I am an authorized demo center for Contrology equipment which is made by a Balanced Body, which means I am of course going to want to send you to Contrology or at the very least to Balance Body. I love them so much. And let's just say let me just tell you why. My reformer needed a repair and the head of Balanced Body came to my hotel room and repaired my former reformer... (Brad: the owner?) the owner.Brad Crowell 9:44  Yeah... (Lesley: this is a massive company) who has had the company for 40 years. He was like yeah, you know what, I'll do a equipement callLesley Logan 9:50  And my my friend who is has Contrologi equipement in San Diego, one of the trade show guys from the company was like, Oh, you're in San Diego. I'm going to be down there next month to I'm gonna stop by and check on your equipement, shouldn't ask he was offered. So I really am biased to them for many reasons. And I so and yes, I can and am affiliate. So for all these reasons.Brad Crowell 10:09   But not only that the Contrology line was co designed with balanced body by your teacher.Lesley Logan 10:15  By my teacher. Yeah. So another a 14,003. The reason why I'm biased and will always send you there, there is for you can use like an eight to 10 millimeter mat to do Pilates on, it won't have handles, it won't... (Brad: like a travel or like a roll up mat). But it needs to be eight to 10 millimeters. And we used to sell them on our site, we don't anymore, you guys products are a beast, and I can't get to the post office on time. So. So we don't do that anymore and Bounce Body does have one of those roll up mats on their site. That being said, that kind of mat is not able to make the mat, like in a piece of equipment. So I'm going to send you to the Contrologi mat, because it's just the best, it's got the handles got the strap, as far as performance go, the reformers range in all prices. But my favorite reformers that really help people have the most access and to me, you won't be limited on exercises you can do because if you're too close to the floor, that's going to affect your practice. If you're too if if if it is bungees not springs, that's going to affect the the method in your body. So all the reformers that I happen to love and tell people to get are going to be about $4,000 Yes, that is a lot of money. It's true it is. But I would I highly recommend, get a little big account, call it your equipment account and start throwing money in there. You'd be surprised with my affiliate link, you could probably get the mat. If you're saving, you know, you'd probably get to that in under a year of savings and then reformer. Luckily, that's what payment plans are for. But their write offs if you're a teacher just saying. So anyways, I love my equipment, and I can't recommend stuff that I don't think you'll love.Brad Crowell 11:56  Yeah, and the link that we'll put in the show notes will actually save you some money on your order.Lesley Logan 12:01  And if you have any problems with that hit us up just like literally DM me say I'm having problems with your affiliate link and I will connect you to my lovely salesperson. She's a badass, but try the link first.Brad Crowell 12:26   Okay, now let's talk about Camee Adams... (Lesley: Camee Adams) boo boo boo as a professional mixed martial artist, Cami Adams knows a thing or two about fighting. She's learned to take a punch. And she works as a resilience coach and speaker to equip others with the tools that they need to pick themselves up and keep going. And she speaks from a whole lot of experience.Lesley Logan 12:53  Yeah, I mean, I feel like you... (Brad: in and outside the ring) to be a fighter, you have to like literally have more resilience, because I'm gonna tell you right now, if I got hit in the face, like I need to run for cover, like please.Brad Crowell 13:05  Why don't think fighting, she, you know, she said that fighting wasn't really like on her agenda of like, I want to go be a fighter. No, she just got into boxing and kickboxing, and then, you know, whatever tumbling like whatever was on the mat. And then all of a sudden, it was like she was just in a crew of people who were training to be fighters... (Lesley: Yeah). And they said, You're good at this. Do you want to fight? And she's like, Yeah, actually I do. And that's how she got into it.Lesley Logan 13:30  Yeah. It's also like the when we work out with our trainer, like, I'm super glad that one of the people is like, like getting ready and like she's ready or up to like, do actual challenges. And I'm like, Yes, you should be the person that gets pushed to that I have not. I said that. I'm like, I just, I don't know, there's some things that to get over my fear. And so clearly, Camee is a resilience coach for a reason and not me. So one of the things that I love that she said, so there's actually four forms of resilience. And this makes a lot of sense because you can I think we've had other guests who've talked about like the there's four like four areas where like you have competence in, right? so like, So resilience, you can have mental resilience, physical resilience, emotional resilience, and spiritual resilience. And I think I can attest that my mental resilience is pretty fucking great. My spiritual resilience is not bad. You know, my emotional state that's it depends on the fucking day. And physical as long as you're not asked me to fight I think I could slay there too. But what I love about thinking about their four areas, is that you can actually like about self about like I just did, and then if you want to increase your resilience in an area that it's not necessarily as strong or if you're going through something in your life, you're like, Oh, well, I probably go into this because my mental resilience isn't there. Then you can instead of just forcing yourself to get better the thing that you're not doing great you can actually do some actual you'll take your mental resilience to the gym, so to speak, and like work that muscle out.Brad Crowell 14:58  Yeah, and and I mean I was thinking like, how, what's it what's a good way to kind of look at this and I came up with something that's terrifying. But as a dramatic enough example, that I think... (Lesley: Thanks for the warning). You're welcome. You're welcome. I mean, I was thinking about POWs like prisoners of war. Oh my god, we're clearly not gonna have the physical. Probably not the emotional or spiritual, but mental is where they live. They have to, if they're going to survive that experience.Lesley Logan 15:29  You might have all of those but mental resilience is key.Brad Crowell 15:32  Well, I mean, if, you know the physical, they don't, if you're not able to move... (Lesley: yeah) or workout, like you're going to lose, you're going to atrophy. Right? So you can still, you can still maintain resilience, but in a different form of it. But let's maybe pick something a little less tragic... (Lesley: Yeah). What about like, you know, being a parent, you know.Lesley Logan 15:56  I yeah, I mean, Gosh, I think being a parent that is emotional and mental resilience muscle, you definitely need for sure. I was even thinking just like being a business owner. Like yeah, you know, you part of like, like, if you I feel like we're pretty fucking resilient. But sometimes I've had to like lean listen to the mental resilience I have and actually go into the spiritual resilience because I'm like, if I have to tap my mental resilience one more time, I'm just be pissed that I even have this like, it's, you know, I need a fight, look at this in a different way. So I don't know, I think it it's just a really fun way to like, look at yourself and just evaluate, like, where do you think you have natural resilience? And where do you think you need to like, ante up?Brad Crowell 16:37  Well, that goes straight into what I really loved that Camee said, she talks about resilience looks different for everyone. She said, It's a unique skill. And it's it is refined through your own process, your own journey. And for her, you know, she, her life was dramatically changed when she got pregnant at a young age. Right.? And so she had to work through that, she also had a lot of, you know, as a young, she's a young parent, right? Not able to do the careers that she wanted to do. And she's a single parent, also. So and then she moved a couple times, you know, and then she got to fighting a training. She also was in the competitive belt body building... (Lesley: Yeah) world, right? which is like, incredibly strict and regimented in your lifestyle, because you have to, in order to be competitive... (Lesley: Yeah) so pretty intense, for sure. But, you know, she talked about if you think you don't have any resiliency in your life, then that actually means you're in the middle of a resilience process. So if, if, if like, things are crumbling around you, and you're just like, What the hell? you know, you're actually in the middle of building your resilience muscle.Lesley Logan 18:07  I have an example of that. It's like when I left my ex, and I was homeless, and then I (...) my car and the studio that I rented space from, was shut down all in the same week. And I was like...Brad Crowell 18:19  Everything seems like incredibly like despair. Lesley Logan 18:21  Yeah! I literally was like, Okay, what else you want to take? Just take it. I don't want to move it with me. Like what? Take it all. So I can make sure that when I bought the apartment, I pick in the car I pick in a place I go is like, I don't have to do this again. Like I don't want to move twice. And so that was just I was building a muscle.Brad Crowell 18:36  Yeah, totally. And so how do you go through the process of resiliency? You know, and how do you practice resiliency is actually a better way to ask that question. Like, what does resiliency look like? So because it's a unique skill, and it also affects the four different areas of resilience, mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, it can manifest itself in your life in different ways. Some of the ones that she listed as her examples in her life, she said, look at your coping skills, evaluate past ones and adding new ones. Right. So for her she uses yoga as a place to be alone with herself and to have some like moments of peace in her mind and body. She said she's a journaler, so, writing and... but I also came up with a couple of other obvious ones what maybe you have someone you can speak to about a counselor or a therapist. Lesley Logan 19:45  I think you're right. I think that also having someone in your life who's like, not like someone's gonna activate, you know, anyway, so like, maybe... (Brad: could be your best friend) But yeah, but somebody who can go, can remind you like, Oh, hey, you actually are like you just did this. Like If you did this better than last time, or actually you, you know how long it's been since this happened to you, like, I think having just anyone to like, reflect on just how far you've come is really important, you know, to like, just, it's kind of like doing a year in business review, if you'd like, take at a high level, you're like, oh, wow, okay, we actually did all these things, but it's similar for yourself, like just reflecting back and having someone there to remind you that you've come a lot farther, you know, than than you think.Brad Crowell 20:28  Yeah, totally. And she also had another example that I thought was an interesting way to practice resiliency, and that are the "I am" statements, right? So these are the things that you like, write in lipstick on your mirror, you know, I am confident, I am strong, I am, you know, making a million dollars, I am what blank, you fill that in. And that becomes part of your routine, your mantra, right? And that begins to help you fight through the, you know, whatever the thing might be that that you're challenged, you're being challenged with. So I thought, you know, those are some pretty practical tips. And also, you know, just some examples of how she practices resiliency, and then maybe how we can as well, yeah, so how do you practice resiliency? Maybe it's a walk, you know, maybe you like for me, I know, when I was in the shit at my job, and like, I was so stressed out all the time, I would go find a really peaceful lunch spot. And I would be alone with the koi fish in the the what with the water fountain and in the Zen garden. I mean, I needed that. And for me, that was my that was me practicing. You know, maintaining sanity, basically. Yeah, sure.Lesley Logan 21:44  I love it, we want to know... (Brad:yeah). Tag us in your resiliency moment. So we don't (...)... (Brad: I love that).Brad Crowell 21:56  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your combo with Camee Adams?Lesley Logan 22:05  I'm gonna start... (Brad: do it!) Okay. Um, my biggest takeaway is: do what you can in your current season, space and grace to yourself. So I think like, I think a lot of times, we get really obsessed with what we can't do in the current moment that we're in, you know, I still like, some of our agency members, for example, like, I have been very selective because I've been busy doing these things. I'm like, Yes, it's called implementation mode, you have nothing to apologize for you actually taking the things that you learned and you're putting them into your business. And so you only should come in here to ask questions about that and not to be a sponge for more and more, more, more more, versus maybe you're in a place where somebody reached out to me like, I don't actually know what my goals are right now. Well, then maybe you're in a season where you're actually exploring opportunities, you are learning, you're being curious. And like, what ends up happening is you're you're in the learning and curious mode, but you're seeing that there's all these people over there who like know what their goals are, and you're not honoring that you're in a different season than them. So I really love that as a Be It action, and I'm like, be in your season, and then have space and grace for yourself. Jeeze, Louise, my loves be fucking kind to yourself. You're so hard on yourself. Do you want to if we're being it until we see it, and I asked you in your future life, Are you hard on yourself? The answer is probably no. So you can't actually be that right now.Brad Crowell 23:27  Yeah. Well, I mean, I think also too, you know, I think there's this fear of being, quote, unquote, behind whatever behind is right? And seeing, you know, the comparison to others, and all those kinds of things. So, you know, I think that (...) something that really was eye opening, for me was when I was in school, and there was like, it didn't matter how hard I worked at music, there was always there were always people who were better than me. Right? And, but I still wanted to be better. You know, but that giving myself space and grace to acknowledge what I was doing, which was practicing my ass off, and realizing that it will just simply take time, these other musicians have obviously logged more hours than me, right? They have been doing it longer than I, whatever, whatever, you know, and I can get there, you know, I can get there. But I need to give myself the the space to practice and to achieve those kinds of things. So you know, that goes with what what in different seasons of your life, you know? Yeah, amazing.Lesley Logan 24:36  Well, thanks for being here, everyone... (Brad: Yeah) how fucking resilient are you? Pretty darn resilient. I bet if you actually get yourself some credit.

Girls, is that right? 11:15:16 Or am I making this up 11:15:17 Now I know I have one. I have a daughter, and a son. 11:15:20 No, don't. Honestly okay. 11:15:21 My son is 24, and my daughter is 17 11:15:23 Okay. Excellent. And to do either then still, believe in something. 11:15:29 Okay. 11:15:32 Obviously, right? 11:15:27 No, and it was well, I mean, obviously sand, is totally real, but it was it was a very traumatic experience. 11:15:36 When when my daughter finally kind of found out, yeah, so 11:15:36 Did you get stuck in the chimney, dressed up, how tremendous traumatic was it 11:15:46 No, but I I side note. I love, the thought of yeah, like. 11:15:50 Corey said as as his son's an Adult sitting there waiting with it with his child thinking. I don't know Buddy. I don't know if you're gonna get presence, this year we got about 20 more minutes until we're gonna know for sure you know 11:16:05 Yeah 11:16:00 That involves me, and I gotta come rushing over to give yeah, to give President it's a good excuse not to buy presence feature. Kids. 11:16:12 Yeah, it's not my fault. 11:16:09 Because you can just say. Well, it's sorry, but son, doesn't care about that I mean, I don't know what to tell you. 11:16:17 Alright, so a couple of things in the chat here, from Dr. Somebody. 11:16:23 I apologize. I don't see your whole name here. 11:16:30 That's all you need. 11:16:26 Just Dr. D, is all I see, but from Dr. Dave, one gate, name, right there what do you call a pig with lavingitis? 11:16:34 Now, we don't have the answer here, either. So I don't know you call it I just makes you a calls the voice box. 11:16:51 Don't know. Please, Dr. And how it has a computer question already. 11:16:57 Hello, Howard! This disgruntled Very good. Thank you. 11:17:01 Yes, we're on top of 11:17:11 How it has a computer question. How do you export my chrome favorites to an HTML, file. 11:17:11 That is a very good question, and off the top of my head. 11:17:14 I have no clue. It is not easy. I think. They make exporting amount into it there's a whole big, long process Howard call me but here's the thing why do. 11:17:23 Well, Hmm okay, if you're just setting up a new computer, you don't need to cause you can just sign in your home profile. Yeah, and then you get all your favorites anyway, but yeah, but how it. 11:17:39 Hmm. 11:17:31 Says, I am I am making my stream Xp Fs Playlist accessible on the computer Vlc, media Player will only play them in the so whatever that means, thank you but anyway, with all that's being said let's, Talk, about some Assistive technology, from this year, oh, some also I Didn't. 11:17:50 Know maybe you wanted and maybe you don't. I don't know. 11:17:52 But I notice you have a new series on your channel, about working professionals, and I believe there's 3 episodes up at the Moment I don't know if you wanted to take a minute to talk about that sewers and what's going on with that 11:18:03 Sure. Yeah, so it's it Kind of was spawned out of the the fact that I over the years I've gotten that question. 11:18:11 So many times I'm sure you guys have as well, people asking what what kind of jobs can blind people do? 11:18:22 Hmm. 11:18:16 It kind of is oftentimes goes hand in hand with what kind of what classes should blind people take in college, and my my response, is always I don't know what do you want to do do that? 11:18:27 That's what you want to do, do, that you know it's like it's more. 11:18:30 It's easier for me to tell you how many jobs we can't do. 11:18:26 Yeah yeah 11:18:32 You know I can. I can list that list, but I can't list what we can do, 11:18:40 Hmm. 11:18:45 Yeah. No. 11:18:51 Wow! 11:18:37 And so in an effort to help inspire people and and teach people about What's available to them, possibly potentially, I decided to do this, series in December, where every other Day in the December I am putting out a new interview with some really cool Vip in the community and talk about what 11:18:57 They do and some general questions about accommodations. You know how long they've been doing it that sort of thing. 11:19:05 Just to once again, hopefully, get the information out there, or what is possible and yes, we've been we've got a couple of episodes. Up. 11:19:13 So far it based on the response. It's been very very popular. 11:19:16 Right. 11:19:17 I'm sure we will continue this. Maybe every descendants or something will do the series Cory. 11:19:23 I'm probably gonna be reaching out to you, sir, for an interview 11:19:25 Oh, cool! Love to yeah, that's a that's a really cool thing to do. Some. 11:19:29 So yeah, kudos for you know, coming up with that idea and also, it sounds like it. 11:19:33 Must have been a lot of work. Because if you're releasing one every other day I mean that's a hell of a lot of interviews. 11:19:37 That, so, yeah. 11:19:38 It it is, it is yeah, luckily, you know, interviews are easier to Edit. 11:19:43 So we can. I can I can knock those out pretty quick. 11:19:43 That's true. Sure. Yeah. 11:19:46 But I have to in case she sees this in the future, I do have to give full credit. 11:19:51 To my wife this was her idea. She keeps reminding me to tell people that because I haven't yet. 11:19:52 Oh! Nice! 11:19:55 But yes, thank you, Rachel. She's the one that came up with the idea 11:19:59 Yeah, or, credit, like, but it's true. And I if people want to hear from your wife, then they can listen to your monthly live stream, remind me what the name of that is against some thank you. 11:20:12 Yes, yes, yes. 11:20:15 Yeah 11:20:25 Yeah 11:20:09 Yeah it's talk, back with the blind. Life. It's our video, podcast, that, we, do every every month, where we we kind of answer, Comments, for frequently asked, com are frequently, asked, questions, and comments, from the previous months videos, and then just we end up, just you know, laughing having a great time 11:20:29 And and we've been doing that now for a year and a half. 11:20:32 Yeah 11:20:31 Oh! Wow! That's awesome, and I believe I believe your wife is off camera. 11:20:36 But people can hear her talking. Is that correct? Yeah, okay, okay, well, that's really great. 11:20:44 So, some cool stuff going on with your channel, and obviously you had. 11:20:47 Oh, also for people who don't know and I think everybody probably, will. 11:20:38 Yeah, she's shy, she correct. 11:20:51 But I did put your channel into the chat there, as well, so it should just be Youtube com forward, slash the blind life is that the correct URL, yeah, so everybody you know if you're not aware of you haven't been there definitely, go and check out sam's, channel and you have a whole new Year's, worth 11:21:07 Of Content, this year as do we also, and so, yeah, so we're gonna talk about some of the things that we have had a chance to look at this year, some, new things, or it doesn't. 11:21:18 Necessarily have to be things that release this year. But maybe just something that you, you know, checked out for the first time this year as well and we're gonna give our thoughts about those things and if anybody, in the chat saw any assistive, technology, this year or you know any consumer, technology really just anything that they 11:21:33 Checked out for the first time this year, and thought was cool, then feel free to also put that in the Chat as Well, but in the Meantime let's get started so I have a list on my phone here of things that we came up with and the first thing on the list is the 11:21:48 Arcs vision glasses. So that seems like a good place to start there, because I know some that that you saw the Arcs vision as well right? 11:21:56 Because you have a you have a video, on the arts vision is that correct? 11:22:00 No, I don't have a video. I I did an evaluation, though this year with them. 11:22:00 Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. 11:22:05 And so, i, I have seen it. It's it's actually sitting on a shelf over here somewhere. 11:22:10 But haven haven't officially made a video. You 11:22:08 Oh, cool, awesome. Okay. Fair. Enough. So we did. Do. A video that released. 11:22:14 Well, Couple of Months yeah, okay, so we did a, video that released a month ago, now, these guys, I actually did have the opportunity to meet with them a few years. 11:22:26 Ago, when I was still working at the Chicago lighthouse at the time their device was called the Horace and it was coming out of Italy. 11:22:33 They came, and showed it to me. There, and it wasn't particularly great at the time. 11:22:40 Things change, and everything. And now they have the arcs, vision and so Corey and I looked at it and yeah, if you want to see you know, just all of the different Features. 11:22:51 And stuff. Then you could go check out our video. And I think it's fair to say, that we felt like had some strengths and some yeah, I think for those you know, who hadn't had a chance, to check out, our video basically it is a Bone Conduction, Pair of headphones, with a camera built 11:23:04 In Wire connecting directly into your android, smartphone only android smartphone. And then it gives you very similar features that you might see like in seeing AI, or envision AI app where you get short, text full document, reading facial recognition seen Description, things like that 11:23:23 I think it's a good start. I I I personally wouldn't purchase one just yet I think you know the there was some definite some things that are holding it bad. 11:23:37 Things didn't work quite public well, that in a combination of there are there are there are alternative ways to do the same thing, for much less expensive. 11:23:48 If you already have the android phone, then you have access to envision AI for free. 11:23:52 Now where you can do short text, you can do full document, you can do facial recognition. 11:23:57 So we're gonna look out. As well, exactly so then, at this point, really, what the arts vision, is providing is doing at hands-free. 11:24:05 Now we did, say, like when the be my eyes and Ira integration roles in that will be a bit of a Pl in its category. 11:24:14 Because now you're getting hands free camera with those cited assistant, apps. 11:24:17 But at this point, I think there's Cheaper and Honestly better ways to do some of that stuff. 11:24:22 Yeah, but there's potential. I'm pricewise, I think we were looking at what? 11:24:25 1,599, so you're still talk I mean you're under 1,500, but still, a lot of for an 80 device. 11:24:33 It's cheap, but you know, just as a general purchase. 11:24:35 It's still, you know, fairly expensive, and it does have to connect to your own android phone. 11:24:39 How was your experience with it, Sam? I'm curious. What were your thoughts 11:24:43 So yeah, very similar to what you guys have said You know, I I like certain things about it. 11:24:49 I like the user, interface. I like all the little sound queues, very melodic. 11:24:54 Yeah yeah 11:24:55 Sam queues that they have. I liked. How you could just you know swipe back and forth to each feature, or using the buttons. 11:25:08 That's what I was gonna say 11:25:17 Call me, feels exactly the same 11:25:05 I like I liked certain aspects of the Hardware the very big tactile buttons, those were great the Bone Conducting Headphones, I've never been a big Fan of Bone Conducting Headphones, yeah, They Just the Vibration in my Head It's, It's Annoying 11:25:36 Yeah yeah 11:25:23 And then and you know, Corey could probably relate being visually impaired, we rely so much on hearing that you know at first first glance, you would think that being able to keep your ears open would be a benefit but it's really hard for me to focus on the headphones, when i'm hearing 11:25:42 Yeah 11:25:41 Everything else around me, but and then the other thing with the hardware, which may only be because I have a giant head is that it just wasn't Comfortable. 11:25:52 It wasn't big enough for me. 11:25:52 Oh, we have the same problem with yeah, that was our video. Same thing. 11:25:56 Yeah 11:25:58 I I have never had a in those specifically, I've used some of the aftershocks, ones, and they they were better, but these any any of those that have that that firm plastic around. The back of the yeah, exactly so 11:26:10 Right yeah, yeah, yeah, and then the the camera module unit was a little heavy, so kind of weighed down on that one side, and then the main issue. 11:26:21 I had with it was that my app was crashing left and right. 11:26:24 Oh, Jason! 11:26:25 Yeah, just all so many times during my testing and you know, they said, that that that's obviously fi fixable and updates, and all of that, but 11:26:36 You know. I told them. Well, That's that's 11:26:36 And they must have fixed that, Sam, because we don't I, don't think we got a single crash. 11:26:42 Oh! 11:26:43 Maybe we I don't ever recall thinking to myself, managing crashing a lot. 11:26:50 So so it sounds like maybe they did address that 11:26:50 Yeah, it was almost, maybe it was it was almost unusable. 11:26:53 Hmm, okay. Oh, wow! That's that's not good. 11:26:54 When I was testing it. Yeah, yeah. 11:26:56 Yeah, so yeah, we didn't have that problem. So I think they have fixed that aspect, at least, I think our main issue. 11:27:01 With it was that like, temperature Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I just get kind of warm to be more in the head 11:27:11 So that was definitely one issue for any length of time. Yeah, it's got a sunburn on the right side of my yeah. Yeah. 11:27:16 Yeah 11:27:17 But then, other, than that, like the Ocr I actually thought, was fairly decent and I liked the way. 11:27:22 It gave instructions for positioning the text. I thought all of that Stuff worked quite well, but the other features really in like, they weren't very very great like for example, we did Object Identification we are trying to locate chairs having a lot, of problem doing it it it's not it's you would never do it 11:27:39 Because it's just so much effort. You know, and it just doesn't work properly. 11:27:43 And that's the conversation we've had before, like first of all and I for the for the Arcs vision like these limations are less about the the device itself, and Just, where that Object and Scene description is you know it's, not the Capabilities, of AI is but 11:28:02 There's also the piece of and we see we did this in our video, where like you know you use the facial recognition, and it takes you know the arcs, vision especially took you know A. 11:28:11 Good, minute and a half for it. To say Luke where I could just pop my head and go look in. 11:28:15 Here yep. Okay, thank you overhill, and that's somewhat, too. 11:28:16 Yeah 11:28:19 Or a way. We talk is like what is what's the realistic use case of some of these things, where sure when you read it on paper, it sounds cool. 11:28:27 Yeah, and then, you try it, and it sounds cool. But then you're like, boy in real, life, yeah, so yeah, it's you know, it's not a bad device. 11:28:36 I. Think it has. Potential. But it's you know. It's not. 11:28:41 It's not amazing, the cool, thing about that device in any other device, even some of the apps, that are cell phone, based they're the Hardware itself, is just the camera, I mean all of the brains is in software, so that arcs vision I mean, with software software updates it's gonna continue to 11:29:00 Get better and Better and Better and Better and we had some 2 cameras, yes, and at some point you know we're gonna be talking about how great these devices are to walk into a room and know everything that's going on so we're just not there, yeah, yeah, there's a challenge with the 11:29:15 Speed, of recognition and the usefulness of recognition, and being able to tell you how far away old things are, and give you usable directions to get to them stuff like that yeah, also, false false parts of the description. 11:29:25 Yeah, so there's a lot of a lot of room fall improvement in general, with that side of things, but you know, if you want awareable Ocr Device, and you have an android, phone, and the all Cam is out of price range then you know it's it's out there and the 11:29:45 Ocr stuff is at least decent out. So Sam, I'm just curious. 11:29:48 This is a product, that's not well, maybe it is on our list of and maybe it's a good transition. 11:29:53 But how would you I have not had a yet a chance to test the envision, AI glasses, how would you compare envision AI's glasses to like the arcs? 11:30:03 Vision, when we look at like short text and full document, reading how how would you say they compare to to each other. 11:30:24 Sure Joe. 11:30:30 Okay. 11:30:10 Well, I. I preface by saying it's it's been quite a while since I tested the the glasses and then also once again, I can only go by what my experience with were was with the Arcs vision so I would say envision outperformed it all around just because it 11:30:33 Hey! 11:30:32 Wasn't crashing on me, you know I I did have some issues with with some of the the Features on Envision as well I think they've updated it quite a bit since I had a chance. 11:30:43 To test it, out. So I think they fixed a lot of those issues. 11:30:48 But just comparing the 2, my experiences with the 2 I would say, envision was better 11:30:51 Okay, nice, how much does the envision cost some? Do you know to top your 11:30:56 I think it's around the same as the other. 11:30:58 Where was like, 2,500, something around, there. Yeah. 11:31:01 Okay, and everything's built in with those ones. Right. We're not connecting to an external phone, or anything like that 11:31:06 Correct yeah, it's it's using Google's Glass, Google, glass Headset, goggle. 11:31:13 Yeah, yeah. 11:31:13 Whatever you want to call them. little bit of a drawback. It's since it's a fixed unit. 11:31:19 Hmm. 11:31:18 It's only on the right side. So if you're a left hander, you're gonna have to get used to using your right. Hand 11:31:25 It's 11:31:32 Oh! 11:31:37 Oh, yeah. 11:31:23 Cool. You know it. It's funny that you mentioned that I was actually just on the website, looking it up and some of the Photos that they show have it on the left side, but they must have reversed the images then because all they've changed the design at least one Google Glass, maybe are Reversible or I mean, I 11:31:43 Yeah 11:31:52 Oh, yeah. 11:31:42 don't know how many versions how many they put out it. Looks like this one's taken into a mirror, but it's not immediately clear that that's the case you may or may not. Be. Able. To use it if you elect, them I don't 11:31:57 Yeah yeah 11:31:57 think you could put it on your left. It looks like this is a mirror 11:32:03 It was fairly easy it was yeah, I didn't. 11:32:19 Yeah 11:32:06 I didn't have any problems I didn't have any any you know, negative experience with that it seemed pretty easy to operate, couple of the Features of the Modes were not Offline you had to be connected to Internet at the time. 11:32:21 That I re, I reviewed it even the envision ally, calling an ally you had to be on Internet, so I I actually I was like you know, I told my daughter, like okay, I'm gonna go walk about 3 blocks, out in our neighborhood, and then, I'm, gonna return. 11:32:37 Right. 11:32:38 Recording myself, i'm gonna call you and you're gonna be my envision ally and you're gonna help me like read a sign or something. 11:32:41 Sure, so, yeah. 11:32:43 And I walk all the way out there, carrying my camera on, my tripod and all this stuff. I get all set up. And then I go to caller and it says, you know you must be connected to Internet, what how useful, is that gonna be 11:32:52 Oh, Jeeze is. Yeah, right is there a way to like hotspot to your phone do you think, or is it just I'm just thinking, you know how so it just straight dustin. 11:33:01 No. No. Yeah. Yeah. And there was there was some, other, there's like a scene recognition. 11:33:09 I forget exactly which ones. There were few others that also needed to be connected to Wi-fi. 11:33:14 Yeah 11:33:15 And I even said that in the video I said, If I could use a hot spot on my phone. 11:33:28 Yeah, sure yeah, yeah. 11:33:18 That would maybe be good. I mean the the at the Glasses are connected, to the envision app anyways, I didn't see I couldn't understand why I couldn't use the mobile data on my phone to Make the call but I think that is one of the things they have fixed since then 11:33:35 Yeah 11:33:33 You would sure. Hope. So. Yeah, well, that's cool spat, Lana here does. 11:33:41 Confirm, that you can use a hotspot with them. 11:33:43 Okay. 11:33:44 Now and also, that they have Ira, on envision, already. 11:33:48 So that's really nice. I want to get a parent. 11:33:50 I think they'd be worth yeah, we can check them out and then also, there are voice commands available for operation. 11:33:55 As also thank you, spotlana for that. So yeah, with the Iris service. 11:34:00 I mean, that's definitely a nice, thing, considering Iva don't have their own glasses anymore. 11:34:05 So I would like to see these companies who are in that are integrating Iraq to make sure they're integrating b my eyes as well I think more options the better especially with Iran just recently changing it's, no longer 5 min, once a Day now, it's, 5 min, every 48 11:34:25 Yeah yeah 2 days. Yeah. 11:34:24 hours, It's 48 h. Yeah, I think it's 48, h they're. Now changing some of that which you know i'll be honest makes me a little nervous, about Longevity, although I will also. 11:34:37 Be honest, and say Ira has been long around longer than I thought they would. 11:34:40 Yeah, be just from the I love the service. And I think it's it's one of a kind and terrific. 11:34:46 But I just think the model is really tough. I mean, you can see why they're making it every 48 h. 11:34:51 Because obviously they need to make, money, right, exactly. I mean it makes sense. but yeah, it's it's tough. 11:34:58 Relying on that. You know once a day 5 min, call or whatever but I do, so I like to see be my eyes getting also getting included in most of these and I think they are by the way, as we talk about things, if anybody. Doesn't know what something. 11:35:09 Is and needs us to elaborate. Then just let us know in the chat, because sometimes we're going to throw out names, or whatever that's that you might not be aware of alright, just watch our video let's break it up a little bit here, I do have another. 11:35:29 We have a bunch of horrible devices. I think I mean it kind of makes sense, because wherevables are. 11:35:32 You know one of the more devastating areas in the low assistive technology. I think I think you would agree. 11:35:38 Sam. That there's still a lot of room for improvement with a lot of these wearable devices. 11:35:42 Oh, absolutely! Absolutely! 11:35:43 Yeah, yeah, so I think it's gonna continue to be one of the developing areas, but let's break it up. 11:35:48 A little bit from talking about whereverable devices and let's talk about the extremely exciting iphone, 14, and Ios 16, I will say that I think the one thing that made me the most excited this year. 11:36:04 Yes, was a single feature of the iphone. 14. Okay, any guess on what you think that might be what is the most exciting single feature of the iphone 14. 11:36:17 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not 11:36:16 For all of 2,023 by the phone itself. 11:36:22 You're saying, Yeah, yeah, this tells you how much I think 22 is sort of sleeper. 11:36:31 For I think that this one feature was like the best thing that happened to blind people. 11:36:34 I know. I think some's an ongoing user. 11:36:36 So, this. Oh, okay. Fair enough. 11:36:36 Well, no, no. I'm I'm both I so I'm kind of trying. To think of what like Hardware Wise it has on it that would be different 11:36:46 It is something that is only available on the on the 14. 11:36:50 But yeah, I believe I'm almost so. It is but it, seemed. And so it is. 11:36:55 Actually, yeah, because it is actually hardware, basically it seems weird, that it is hardware. 11:36:58 Based, yeah, it's it's the Startup and shutdown sound. 11:37:01 Oh! 11:37:02 That you can consider that I know. I tell I'm telling you. 11:37:06 It's so, it's such a dumb feature, but no, it makes such a huge difference. 11:37:11 Why, we made it to 2,022, before having a startup and shutdown sound on the iphone, , for those who aren't aware if you have had an iphone any any other Iphone, other than the Iphone 14. 11:37:24 When you turn it on or off, that, like you basically you know, do the turn on or turn off action. 11:37:32 But you don't know if it's actually working or not, because it doesn't make any noise to indicate until like let's say that you're using voice over if you turn it on eventually voice over, talk but it takes a while for that to actually happen but now when you turn on the phone so you hold down the 11:37:46 Power, Button, or whatever and you actually get a little chime to let you know that it's turned and it's specific to the iphone 14 because that chime is hardware, yeah, which is crazy because it's doing it before yeah, exactly so it makes sense. 11:38:01 So it, will 11:38:08 That's so silly to me, so if 11:38:00 Why it is yeah, but I, basically that they basically have a little bell inside the phone that that somebody rings when it's turning on it is I mean, it's, it's it is very silly and and and I think, turning off the phone, was never it was that was less yeah, but 11:38:17 I found for myself, I've many times had I have a just enough vision where I can tell if something's on the screen, I've many times had to look to see that it was booting up and you see really people got real nervous when they were up. 11:38:30 Updating, their phones, and got to be restarting. 11:38:34 You just never know for sure. Yeah, it was coming on or not. 11:38:37 And why it? Why it took apple that long and again, it's such a it it is such a dumb feature to say it's but it's one of the more so helpful I don't want to say exciting things. 11:38:48 What else? One of the better things in 2022, while you were one team, was garb who was boring 11:38:49 I will also point out that that I will point out that the Android users have had that for like a decade now 11:38:55 Yeah, I'm pretty sure. The first Android phone had that 11:39:01 Yeah, cause. It's the kernel. When the Kernel boots up, when the kernel boots up before the OS, starts it plays the sign up yeah. 11:39:04 Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense, that makes a little sense. Yeah, there's no fight. 11:39:09 And that was that was an absolute winfrey, I mean, I feel like screen me to uses now it's not so much of an issue on PC these days because with solid-state, drives, the OS, Loads, real quick anyway, but Yeah, if You're, a Jaws. 11:39:21 User and you turn on the computer before Jaw speaks. It's the same issue. 11:39:24 Yeah 11:39:24 Oh, here's here you can hear the fan at least. 11:39:27 I'm not a lot of the new hard, not on a lot of the New Laptops. 11:39:30 This the Ssds are they're obviously silent and most that's a bands aren't coming on I Work with clients that they can't tell. 11:39:38 If it's booting up yes, that's an issue, too. 11:39:41 So, yeah, so I mean, traditionally, when you turn on a computer, you would hear, the fan kicking. 11:39:45 So even if you hadn't heard your screen reader, at least you'd know that it was on. 11:39:49 But yeah, no, you're totally right. Now, you can't hear the Hard drive spinning up anymore. 11:39:53 And it's you know it's it's one of those things. 11:39:56 It's like that would be so easy to implement because you could just put it into the Bios of the computer, that Would Trigger as soon as you hit the power Button 11:40:05 Yeah 11:39:53 Yeah yeah yeah, it has no problem making those error, beeps. Whenever there's a problem, you know, memory issue, or whatever they could do something for us, all right, Bill, if you're listening let's get it saw it in windows. 11:40:14 Oh, you know he's he's watching 11:40:13 12. Your bill is doesn't care, and is not all if you're in the Chat, there's probably a bill watching watching is going to be really confused. 11:40:25 Yeah, but yeah, so, I mean, Sam, did you have you had a chance to use the iphone 14, and if so any thoughts about 11:40:36 No, I haven't had a chance. I'm I'm still way. Back on the the 12 pro Max, I am 11:40:40 Okay. Well, just so, you know, Sam, you have used the Iphone. 14. 11:40:44 That's what I was thinking like, I I didn't. I didn't. 11:40:44 Then, yeah, that. 11:40:49 Think there was anything, that much different the but I am on fully up to date on 16 and everything and and Everything's going well, so far anyway. 11:40:55 Let's talk about that in a second. But yeah, I just wanted to say to people just to make it clear, that basically, the way, that corey, and I and also apparently, some feel, about the iphones, is that it's, just so boring these days when they release a new phone, because the features, that they 11:41:13 are to feature, that you're very unlikely to even use or care about and so I mean, I'm using an iphone 8 and whatever I don't care is fine so well, apart, from the fact that actually I dropped it. 11:41:30 The minor problem, right 11:41:25 And now that microphone doesn't work so when people call they can't hear me and they still haven't got new, phone why are people even calling you as well, but yeah, I mean, I mean, there's nothing. 11:41:54 Yeah 11:41:39 I apart from the turning on and turning off, it's not iphone, specific i android phones, E the new Pixels, the Galaxies, they're, They're all most of the time, are always Faster Process, or better camera, yeah the only ones, that are somewhat interesting in the android State. 11:41:58 environment is like the flip or folding phones. 11:42:01 I mean that those are different. They're unique, something's different. 11:42:06 Yeah, you could. Argue it's just gimmicky, though you know. 11:42:10 Yeah 11:42:04 There, but other than that it's you know. Better screen better camera, yes, exactly well, and yeah, yeah, and the costs are just astronomical, but apparently, a lot of people are still willing to pay there's, always a lot, yeah, as long as they're, willing to pay then, apple, and anybody. Else. 11:42:22 To just keep on pumping out this stuff, are you putting up your hand, cuz, you're willing to pay no, no, no, we just have a note from Spencer Peterson on Youtube saying that could be turned down Sam's Audio just to touch because we've done on Sums and I 11:42:38 Believe well, then we can turn us up. It's just a voice. 11:42:39 I just turned it down. One click does that any better 11:42:40 Okay, so, i'm, just turn it on one. Click. So I guess we'll see how that goes. 11:42:45 Okay. Quick. Question in the Chat here from Diane, Diane asks, do we have a video with instructions on how to use the iphone for Amd, people, Diane, we do on our Youtube, channel, we have a playlist and in that playlist, there are a few videos regarding 11:43:01 Iphone accessibility.

Connect. Thank you. Yes, at Vision Dashboard, done thank you very much. 11:43:33 If I can spell that would be wonderful Alright, there we go, cool. 11:43:39 So yes, Diane if if you aren't able to find the playlist on our Youtube channel, then just get in touch 11:43:46 Okay, so Ios, 16, okay, it's the sixteenth, Ios and as you might as well, just some spectacular new features Corey, including the ability to Delete and Edit, I. 11:44:03 Messages. That's why we did a video on that didn't, we did. Yeah. 11:44:05 So now, we do have a video on our Youtube channel, about some of these features. 11:44:09 So. Yes, we can we have how long is it? 4 min, 6 min, 10 s. 11:44:17 Is that actually correct according to John man, who produced the video exactly. 11:44:24 He's wait. Is that the length of the video, or how long we have to get rid of a message. 11:44:28 Now no, no, that's the link. Oh, okay. Okay. 11:44:34 So with Ios, 16, we have 2 min in which we can erase a message that we sent to other iphone what those 2 min in which we can erase, a message, that we sent to other Iphone users, now they will see that we've erased the message but they won't know what the message 11:44:53 said so that could be handy. We all can also unseen. 11:44:57 An email. I think we only have like, a 20, s, one, yeah, it's short short amount of time to unseen an email. 11:45:04 So if we accidentally send an email and then regret it instantly whether we can undo that. 11:45:21 Yeah, you'd be surprised 11:45:08 We also have let's see, we also have the automatic punctuation, while we're dictating oh, that's a great yeah, actually does work. Although now, we've all been trained, well, you say that call me but i mean, people who who have been using dictation, well, you say, that call 11:45:27 Me there's a lot of people. I think I'm out there who just dictate still without thinking about punishment and the also punctuation, works surprisingly. 11:45:35 Well, I did do pretty good. Yeah, so that was a nice feature door to detection, and in the magnifier door purse Image is pretty good. Yeah. 11:45:46 So those are some of the other things that we Covid, in our video, some of you had a chance to try. Ios 16, I, think you said you're fully updated, didn't you so what do you think about that 11:46:02 Sean yep. 11:46:06 As right. Yeah, that's right yeah, yeah. Well, that's the thing. 11:45:54 Yeah, no, I have. I haven't really had a time to dive into it other than the things that everybody's kind of reporting on. You know how you can take backgrounds out of pictures and then drag it right into a message and all this kinda cool stuff that i'll never use 11:46:14 Yeah 11:46:11 Yeah that that demo is great, but then nobody actually uses them. 11:46:17 Well, yeah, I mean, that background thing though that you refer to some, is pretty amazing. 11:46:20 Well, I have to say I haven't tried it for myself, but I've seen other people try it on videos. 11:46:24 And you can literally like, if you have taken a photo of something, and Let's say there's an object in the photo, and you just want that object from the photo, you can hold your finger down on it I believe is how it works and you can literally extract just the object from the Photo and 11:46:39 then you like you say you can use it in other things. 11:46:40 You can message it to people or things like that and it works seems to work amazingly. 11:46:48 Yeah 11:46:44 Well, so, but not necessarily relevant to you know vision, impairment, or like that one thing you can do, though as well as you can customize the home screen, and that includes changing the clock so you can change the clocks, kind of font style and color or the lax screen yeah, yeah, so is that something 11:47:02 You experimented with some at all, or not really 11:47:03 I have. Yeah, I played around with the lock screen thing just trying to see. 11:47:06 What how big I can make the clock cause. I'm always trying to make it bigger. 11:47:08 Yeah, exactly, yeah, totally, yeah, did you did you my shoe? Get it to a good size, or. 11:47:13 It's not bad. They have a couple, but I wish they would have just a like a solid bul. 11:47:21 Yeah 11:47:22 Text, clock, without a date. I don't care about the data. 11:47:23 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. 11:47:25 I already know the date. I just want the clock and as big as I wanted 11:47:28 Yeah, I totally agree with you, I think on Android there's some better choices to that is that fair to say 11:47:37 Right. Of, course, yeah, yeah. 11:47:33 Yeah, but but there's also a tons of like lock screen replacement apps. You can get and things like that so you just have much more, customizable options on android 11:47:41 Yeah that's the whole thing with android is. You just have. 11:47:44 It's it's a lot less locked down. 11:47:47 Yeah 11:47:45 So you do end up with some more customizable options, including I mean the ability to download complete Kind of operating system, layers that will sit on top and just make the phone easy to Use big launcher, is one that's has been around for a while and you know if you are struggling, to use 11:48:01 Your phone. Because it's too complex, you can get something like big. Launcher, it Sits on top of what you would normally see, and it just has very large high contrast buttons. 11:48:11 And just for the basic features called in texting and things like that 11:48:12 Right. 11:48:14 So yeah, that that is definitely. Why I do, like, about Android okay, cool, do. We have anything else to say about Iowa, 16, if you have an iphone probably just upgrade because I think it's, okay, to upgrade, yeah, I don't see, any issue. 11:48:26 Upgrading at this, point, yeah, yeah, and it's it was pretty stable, pretty good with voice over at the gate. 11:48:33 I think actually, it was Yeah, I was surprised. It fixed a number of bugs that Didn't Introduce to too many which is surprising. 11:48:39 There's still a number of things there, there was I thought that you said. You wish you hadn't have updated, because there was some issue oh, that was just because I was using an Iphone. 8. 11:48:51 Well, it was okay. That was the lowest, the oldest phone. 11:48:53 That could update to Ios 16, and it was performance issues. 11:48:57 Yeah, but saying, that though since they updated, the update, so we're on version 16.2, yeah, actually the operation seems to be a lot. 11:49:07 Better. Now, so okay, yeah, you dropped your phone. Yeah, exactly, yeah, I slug, it's just throw your phone, or something. 11:49:16 You'll be final note on the Iphone just to clarify you have 2 min to totally delete, a message, 15 min to edit, excellent. 11:49:24 Okay. 2 min to delete and 15. To edit. 11:49:29 Yeah, we forgot to mention that we can also edit your messages. 11:49:31 So you don't have to just delete. So you can like if you text your boss, telling them that you're home for a party like I did in the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I I fired, you Yeah, and then, I Yeah, I just did. It I was like, I was very sick. 11:49:46 And that's, why, I was, yeah, okay, cool. so God, we're running out of time here already. 11:49:54 It's pretty unbelievable, time. Is it? 11:49:55 So we have 10 to and I know some has to. Shoot, so let's let's ask Sam before he has to to Boogie I'm curious what his fee I told you that the startup Sound on the Iphone, 14 was my favorite so the whole Gear, of everything, came out. 11:50:12 It's what he thinks of, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, look at that list tell me I'm wrong. 11:50:18 No, I mean I the like the Irish vision Inspire, the vision buddy, those are more low vision but I think for Linus, now there has been a lot of a lot, of other good Products, coming out yeah, I I think, the startup, sounds so I'm, just curious though Sam Lee, what what for you what's 11:50:41 a standout for 2022 11:50:45 Oh, well. We I saw at at Csun earlier, this year. 11:50:50 I saw the the dot, Pad I think, is what they're calling it 11:50:54 Okay, cool, how many lines are we talking about here. 11:50:58 Oh gosh, it was something like 16 by 16. 11:51:04 I think, yeah, and then they had a, they, had an even larger. 11:51:05 Wow. So, 16, so, okay, okay, yeah. 11:51:09 Something like that. Yeah, it was it was, around. Yeah. And then they had a larger one. 11:51:14 That was 32 by 32. 11:51:15 I think, is what it was. Yeah, it was it was insane. 11:51:15 Oh, wow. Oh, okay. Okay. That's cool. Oh, my God. 11:51:18 They could. Do, you know full pictures it? A ph was working on something called the graffiti. 11:51:24 Yeah 11:51:23 For a, while there, and it's similar to that, but 11:51:28 Yeah, that was kinda cool, they were demoing, that at Csun, I've got that in my csun coverage, video, 11:51:33 Let's just break that down. A second. For so for people who aren't aware this is a basically, a Braille Tablet device the issue with Braille devices, traditionally has been the number of cells, because the less cells you have then the less kind of reading you can do although that's 11:51:57 Yes. 11:51:46 not true my question on these 4, so that these full-page kind of multi-lying, yes, Braille Displays in the Skates 30, by 10, okay, explained it. Tell me if I'm not a every day Braille, User I Don't Use a Braille, Display Every Day, but 11:52:03 myas, my thought, a process on this is it's not so much that you would want one of the Multi-line Braille displays for reading because the Refreshable Moves pretty fast. 11:52:16 But it's real advantage is what you were just saying. 11:52:21 Yeah 11:52:18 I'm like Pictures map, that kind of stuff. Is that really where the biggest use case for multi-line displays are is that what we're thinking 11:52:28 I think so and I think it really for like education, for students, for 11:52:31 Yeah yeah yeah yeah 11:52:33 Well, this also has it's connected to it. They had to connect it to an ipad, and they had a a program. 11:52:46 Guys, super cool. Yeah, true. 11:52:40 Where you like it was like a drawing pad, and you could draw on the ipad with your finger, and it would translate over into the the cells. So that someone could follow along and then you know but yeah, put 11:52:52 You know how it do you remember like these those like these plastic boxes with mel Pins in and you could press things with your hand in it. 11:53:00 Yeah, yeah, that's what it kind of reminds, me of that. 11:52:58 Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly the same thing. Yeah, yeah, but they, I mean, they had. 11:53:03 Yeah yeah 11:53:04 Pictures, of of Logos. They were demoing like the Facebook Logo in on this tablet. 11:53:11 So so you know someone 11:53:13 I'm sorry I'm sorry. Don't don't come at me. 11:53:10 That's cool. I think you I think you might met some let's let's get right 11:53:17 Zuckerberg, yeah, yeah, so so if something is, has no idea what a you know you always hear Emoji smiling Emoji with heart eyes, and you have no. 11:53:28 Idea what that even means because you've never seen it. 11:53:26 Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I hadn't thought of that. 11:53:31 You could feel, yeah. 11:53:32 Yeah, yeah, that's really cool, yeah. And I know that dots, the their cell technology, is not The traditional. 11:53:38 Was it PA's? Are they normally use with the traditional it's, not they're not using the traditional cells, because the problem historically has been price, I mean you can make something. 11:53:47 With a lot, of cells. But price. Wise. It would be insane. 11:53:50 But whatever dot-sell technology is, then it's a lot cheaper to manufacture. 11:53:59 Yeah 11:53:55 I think so they can come out a better price, and they already have the they've had the watch out for a while, which is just like a four-sell watch and everything but they've been talking about this yeah, about their tablet, for quite a while but is, it is it commercially available do you know some or is 11:54:10 It, still in development. 11:54:11 It looks pretty commercially Available to me. I'm not, sure. 11:54:15 Yeah 11:54:13 Okay, cool. Awesome. Okay. Yeah, very. Cool carol. Says, music. 11:54:20 Oh, yeah. 11:54:20 As well could be yeah, the thing with I mean, the thing with that is that it depends, whether your instrument needs both hands, or not you know, like if you're playing trumpet you can't really we if you're not skillful, I guess if you're, not skillful. 11:54:49 I'm trying to think of an instrument that doesn't use. 11:54:51 Both hands. 11:54:43 The Braille, but I mean you can learn it. Though I guess you could learn it for for yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool, anything else well, yeah, yeah, I'm not sure there is one well, I mean deaf, leopard's drama. 11:54:58 Technically, that's one. Yeah. 11:54:56 Has one I don't know has one arm. Right? So then stop him. He also didn't need A Multi page Braille Display either. 11:55:04 You couldn't use it, anyway. 11:55:08 Well, no, but maybe it would help him. I don't know. I feel like even if he did. 11:55:12 Yeah 11:55:08 He still probably would have figured out cause he sounds like the kind of guy who just gets it done you know, I agree somewhat related note those needle-push. 11:55:16 Things are called threed clone pins, the sort of matrix things. 11:55:21 Okay, press a hand in it, scala a threed clone PIN. Okay. Great. 11:55:23 Look at Jonathan. He's on it, man 11:55:23 I never knew the name of those so there we go. Oh, call yeah, okay, cattle says, not necessarily for music, while, Playing, but for Composing, awesome. 11:55:31 Yeah, that's a. Very good. Point. Yeah, yeah, very, cool. 11:55:35 Yeah, so I wonder whether you could get a composition pro program on the computer, or the ipad, or something like, that. 11:55:40 And then output that out to the answer to the tablet. 11:55:44 Yeah 11:55:43 Well, something that someone was talking about that would be super helpful. 11:55:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hmm yeah, hopefully, circuits. Yeah, yes, okay, yeah. 11:55:47 Is like in science, class, demonstrating, like the the different parts of the cell or a a electronic schematic, those are things that are hard to kind of describe, to a blind person yeah, so if they could actually, feel, it that would be so much more. 11:56:03 Geometry. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Lots of awesome, potential applications. 11:56:08 Some. I don't know. It's a 5 to I don't know if you have to jump off here. 11:56:12 I do guys. I appreciate it. I'm sorry I have to run 11:56:13 If so, okay, no, it's all good, thanks. So much for keep them wanting. 11:56:17 Yeah 11:56:17 More, it's a good check. Exactly. Yeah, there you go. 11:56:20 Cool.

“Flacko and his buddy Nacho were two of several teenagers in the village. But unlike the others, these two had a reputation for rarely doing as they were told. They pondered during work-time and raided the dessert cave during the village ponder. And because they'd been born in the village as opposed to the wild, the elder members of the community were forever fed up with the both of them. “You don't know how it used to be!” the elders would lament. “We used to have to sleep on a different boulder every night! Sometimes walk five miles just for a single berry!”“Jeeze dad,” Flacko would roll his eyes. “It's not my fault you guys didn't know what you were doing.”— from The Forgotten History Of The Human Race—Part ThreeWhen a group of early humans discover a gift from The Great Wind, their lives are forever changed. In Part Three, the villagers begin to have more free time than ever before, which leads them to pondering for the very first time, but their pondering quickly leads to wondering why they are even alive on earth. With this uncertainty, the entire village soon begins to panic. Luckily, one teenager figures out the answer.(Suitable for tweens, teens and adults.)This episode was written by Jessica Laurel Kane; music by Jerome Rossen at Freshmade Music.New episodes every Wednesday!For illustrations, episode transcripts, merchandise and more, visit www.onceuponanupset.com.

The British Columbia Foot Problem

Today on the train we're switching up gears a bit. Tonight we are discussing British Columbia's foot problems. Did you know that the most common foot problem in British Columbia and actually the world is athlete's foot? Well it's true! The feet are made of up 26 bones each, making them one of the most intricate areas of the body. Nevertheless, according to the College of Podiatry, a person will walk an estimated 150,000 miles in their lifetime, roughly the equivalent of walking around the world six times. Improper footwear, diabetes, and aging are some of the chief contributors to foot problems. Bunions are another of the biggest four problems. Bunions are abnormalities of the feet that cause a bump to develop on the large toe joint. This can cause the big toe to turn slightly inward. Doctors call bunions “hallux valgus.”   Women are more likely to have bunions due to increased pressures from narrow footwear. Wait...I think I got the wrong notes… What are we talking about? Oh… Shit… Yes, the British Columbia foot problem… Sorry, it had nothing so with actual foot problems. If you know it's… It is much stranger and a bit more macabre than bunions… Maybe… Bunions are gross.    So the British Columbia foot problem… What exactly is it? Well when most people go to the beach they are on the lookout for cool shells, maybe some crabs or other animals, good looking ladies and gents, but on the shores of the Salish sea, in the Pacific northwest, people are on the lookout for something else… Human feet. Yep… Human feet.    On August 20, 2007, a 12-year-old girl spotted a lone blue-and-white running shoe—a men's size 12—on a beach of British Columbia's Jedediah Island. She looked inside, and found a sock. She looked inside the sock, and found a foot. That in and of itself, while kinda gross, isn't necessarily a really strange thing. But Six days later on nearby Gabriola Island, a Vancouver couple enjoying a seaside hike came across a black-and-white Reebok. Inside it was another decomposing foot. It, too, was a men's size 12. The two feet clearly didn't belong to the same person; not only were the shoes themselves different, but they both contained right feet.   Police were stunned. “Two being found in such a short period of time is quite suspicious,” Garry Cox of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told the Vancouver Sun. “Finding one foot is like a million to one odds, but to find two is crazy. I've heard of dancers with two left feet, but come on.”   So now we've got something weird going on right… Well maybe but let's not jump the gun….ok let's jump the gun. In the following year, 2008, five more feet were found on the shores of the islands of British Columbia in the Salish Sea.    Needless to say people started freaking out. Speculation came from everyone. Ranging from plane crashes and ship wrecks to serial killers, to aliens. Moody thinks it was all people who pissed off sasquatch.    All in all as of January 1st 2019, 21 feet have been found in total. So what is going on up there? Well let's take a look at the first and see if that helps.    The ass says before the first four was found in Augusta 2007. According to an article on the Vancouver Sun,  a girl visiting from Washington picked up a size 12 Adidas shoe and opened the sock to find a man's right foot. What a vacation! They ended up finding out that The remains were those of a missing man suffering from depression. There's not much known about the man other than that. The family never revealed much.    Within a week, on August 26, 2007, another foot was found. A man's right foot, discovered by a couple, also disarticulated due to decay. It was waterlogged and appeared to have been taken ashore by an animal. It probably floated ashore from the south. According to the Vancouver Sun again. This foot was found in a size 12 Reebok shoe. It was obviously a different person due to the site you're and the fact it was another right foot.    February 8, 2008, number 3 popped up. It was another right foot belonging to a man. This time on a size 11 Nike.  May 22, 2008 number 4. This time it was a woman's foot that was found. And yes we're 4 for 4 on the right feet. CBS news reported The fourth foot was discovered on an island in the Fraser Delta between Richmond and Delta, British Columbia. It was also wearing a sock and sneaker. the shoe was a new balance. It is thought to have washed down the Fraser River, having nothing to do with the ones found in the Gulf Islands. According to our friends at the Vancouver sun.   June 16th, 2008 two hikers came across number five. CBS news reported that it was a man's  left foot. It was found floating in the water in Delta. According to cbs, It has been confirmed that the left foot found on June 16 on Westham Island and the right foot found February 8 on Valdes Island belonged to the same man. We have a match!!!   So number 3 and number 5 are a match!   Number six showed up on August 1, 2008. This was the first one not found in British Columbia, it was found near Pysht, Washington. According to CTV news, it was confirmed that the foot was human. Police say the large black-top, size 11 athletic shoe for a right foot contains bones and flesh.The RCMP and Clallam County Sheriff's Department agreed on August 5 that the foot could have been carried south from Canadian waters.   November 11, 2008, number 7. a A shoe that was found floating in the Fraser River in Richmond.The shoe was described as a small New Balance running shoe, possibly a woman's shoe. New balance eh? Sound familiar? A woman's new balance. Well it should because the foot was linked via DNA testing to foot number 4. They belonged to the same woman. Eventually it would be known that this woman jumped from the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster in April 2004. This one was seemingly a suicide.    Number 8 come on down, your the next contestant on Who's Foot Is This! October 27, 2009A right foot in a size 8½ Nike running shoe on a beach in Richmond. The remains were identified as a Vancouver-area man who was reported missing in January 2008. The Vancouver Sun gave us this info… shocker we know.    Number 9. A woman's or child's right foot was found on Whidbey island on August 27 2010, without a shoe or sock. This foot was determined to have been in the water for two months. Detective Ed Wallace of the Island County Sheriff's Office released a statement saying the foot would be tested for DNA. However, there was no match found in the national DNA database. Guess where we got this info from...WRONG… CBS news.. Hahaha got ya bitches!   On December 5th 2010 we reach#10. Ten fucking feet found.. only two matching pairs.    This was another one found outside, but near British Columbia. It was found in the tidal flats in Tacoma Washington. Sadly this one likely belonged to a young boy. The boot was a boys size 6 hiking boot. Thanks Vancouver Sun.   Hey Vancouver Sun any info on number 11? Oh you do? Well let's hear it.  On August 30, 2011, in a man's size 9 running shoe. It was a blue and white shoe. It was found floating next to the Plaza of Nations marina, attached to the lower leg bones. Yuck. Investigators said that there wasn't any sign of foul play though and the leg was naturally disarticulated due to decomposition in the water. The sex of this victim was not determined.    Hey guys, guess what, there's more.. Shall we press on?    November 4, 2011 number 12 is found. A man's right foot inside a size 12 hiking boot was discovered by a group of campers in a pool of fresh water at Sasamat Lake near Port Moody. Fucking Moody. A year later this foot was identified by the B.C. Coroner's Service as that of Stefan Zahorujko, a local fisherman who went missing in 1987. Again foul play was not expected as chickens are generally not able to remove the feet of humans.    Lucky number 13, well not so lucky in this case. This one brings us back to the states. Lake Union in Seattle to be more specific. Human leg bone and foot in a black plastic bag under the Ship Canal Bridge. As of January 2, 2012, the medical examiner had not found a cause of death or identified the body. This one sounds nice and shady. Also where the fuck were you on this one Vancouver Sun, we had to get this info from the Seattle times.. Jeeze.   Anyway, back to Vancouver. January 26, 2012 number 14 is found. According to, of course, the Vancouver Sun, On January 26, 2012, the remains of "what appears to be human bones inside a boot" were found in the sand along the water line at the dog park near the Maritime Museum at the foot of Arbutus Street, in Vancouver. This one doesn't show up in some of the stories about this issue only because it seems that they never confirmed it was human. At least not that we could find, which is strange. But… Whatever.   According to fox news "Adding to one of the great mysteries of the Pacific Northwest, a human foot still in a tennis shoe was found near Seattle's Pier 86 Tuesday." Tuesday was may 6 2014, and this was number 15. "It could be debris from Japan. It could be debris from the airplane that had crashed into the water. I wouldn't be surprised,” resident Karen Klett said. Volunteers cleaning up trash made the discovery and immediately called police.A local expert on tides told Q13 Fox News the feet could be local or they could come into the Sound by way of the Strait of Georgia in Canada or the Strait of Juan de Fuca here at home. The New Balance model 622 athletic shoe was white with blue trim, size men's 10½. It was A left foot.    Ladies, do you remember your sweet sixteen? Was it memorable? Did you get a car?  Big party? Severed foot? Wait… What? Well number 16 was found February 7, 2016. Hikers on Botanical Beach, near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island, found a foot in a sock and running shoe. We could not find any information on if this one was ever identified.   She's only 17...SEVENTEEN! Only five days after number 26 was found… Number 17 popped up. On February 12, 2016 A foot washed up near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. This foot was found to match the one that washed up 5 days before.    Now to number 18. Almost there folks! The discovery was made by a man walking his dogs along the beach at around 8 a.m. along the Jordan river again on Vancouver Island. One of the dogs found the foot.    Number 19 was found May 6, 2018 on gabriola Island in British Columbia. Around noon, a man walking along the shore near South Road found a foot inside a hiking boot stuck in a logjam.   Number 20. September 20, 2018. The foot was found  within a light grey Nike Free RN shoe on the shore near the 30th Street beach access point in West Vancouver.   The size 9.5 shoe was manufactured between February 1 and April 17, 2017, and has a white base and a black Nike swoosh. The foot was in a blue sock. The test revealed that the foot belonged to a male.   The B.C. Coroners Service's identification specialist believes that the foot belonged to a man under the age of 50, based on its bone structure.   According to the West Vancouver Police Department, there is no evidence of a death from foul play at this point. DNA testing would eventually link this to a male who went missing in 2018.     Number 21 was another one that was found in the US. January 1, 2019 it was found on jetty Island in Everett Washington. The foot was found in a bit and DNA later linked it to Antonio Neill. At the time of the identification officials shockingly attenuated that Neill was presumed dead. His mother Jenny Neill believes someone harmed her son.   “We are no closer to finding what happened to him,” she said Tuesday. “We have had a lot of leads that are just rumors. We feel that someone is responsible for this, and we need help finding whoever did this.” He'd been staying in his car or on couches in 2016. Around the time he went missing, his car was stolen. Antonio was 22 when he went missing. His mother has seen no evidence confirming he was alive after December 2016.   Ok so those are the feet that have been found. We will post a picture that shows locations, and another with a little more info on the people they may have belonged to. Many of the get have been linked to missing people, and a couple to suicide. But aside from those suicides, what happened to those linked to missing people.    Theories range far and wide. From plane crashes, to human trafficking, aliens, and yes… Bigfoot.    One early suggestion was the quadra Island plane crash. The locations each of the first give feet were found in the first year seems to indicate they were from the similar sources (via body decomposition) and the time of discovery Oceanographists determined no known currents could have contributed to the spread. Detectives at the time had theorized the feet came from the 5 person fatality Quadra Island plane crash that occurred approximately 60–90 miles northwest in 2005 . The image below shows the locations of the five feet found in 2007–2008 with the location of the Quadra Island plane crash in Blue. It is likely that some of the feet originate from this plane crash, but there is no proof to date that this is the case; four bodies remain unrecovered. At first, the Quadra Island plane crash makes sense regarding the origin of said feet, but later DNA testing showed one of the feet was female, with the plane crash victims (5 total) were all men.    Other theorists believe the coastline is being used as a body dump for organized crime activity; a third scenario is a serial killer is at work.   In the past few years, more than 20 men in the Vancouver area have gone missing. Their disappearances have never been accounted for despite pleas from families for information.    There is a faction of the public who believe that many of these discoveries are due to alien abduction and that of course the fact is being covered up. There may be some evidence to back up this claim! Ufology Research, an organization  in Canada,  has collected and analyzed Canadian UFO report data since 1989. Their 2017 survey showed that a total of 1,101 sightings were reported across the country, at a rate of roughly three per day — the fifth highest number since the group began collecting data in 1989. The survey also showed that there was an average of two witnesses per UFO sighting and that the sightings lasted about 15 minutes each. Many witnesses were police officers, pilots and other people with keen observational skills. In 2017 British Columbia had the third most reported UFO sightings in Canada. Hmmm maybe… Just maybe there's something to this.   Then again maybe not. 10 out of the 15 feet have been identified as belonging to people who died either accidentally—by falling off a boat or being swept away by a large wave—or by suicide. but what about the rest?     The location of the feet washing up isn't that that strange actually. Given the tidal currents of the area it actually makes sense that the feet are collecting in the area. It's seems the bigger mystery is what happened to all of those other people but identified? ….. …… …...   Top ten Canadian horror movies according to imdb   https://screenrant.com/best-canadian-horror-films/ BECOME A P.O.O.P.R.!! http://www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast   Find The Midnight Train Podcast: www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com www.facebook.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.twitter.com/themidnighttrainpc www.instagram.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.discord.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.tiktok.com/themidnighttrainp   And wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.   Subscribe to our official YouTube channel: OUR YOUTUBE   Support our sponsors www.themidnighttraintrainpodcast.com/sponsors   The Charley Project www.charleyproject.org

When Covid First HitYou know, last year on this day is when it officially became a disaster of the world, right? In other words: everybody's shutting down.You didn't know what you were going to do with cars.Some people said they were smart enough to understand that they should keep them.I was stupid enough to know that we're definitely staying current to the market so we are selling.   And we did exactly that. We stayed current throughout the disaster…What materialized during the past 12 monthsand then came out the other side to be the brightest days in the history of the wholesale business, right?Where:if you were a seller you couldn't make a mistake, if somebody paid you to make a mistake, you couldn't do it. You could be Stevie Wonder and just randomly buy anything on four wheels, bring it through a block.And if you had no sale that it could only be because you need to get I would call it admitted to an insane asylum.And as long as you could get them, you could make money.What's Happening NowSo what we got going on now is, I would say, version two.  It's version two, where we're watching coast to coast, wherever we're pricing, buying and selling cars.  We're watching cars, a higher percentage of cars that are bringing way more money... Since our data shows us in Accu-trade where the car has been, the pecker tracks of that vehicle, since it was born.  We're seeing way more cars that are selling wholesale for more than they were asking retail last year. Last year, you know, retail price, $53 G ca brings $57,000 on the auction block today.What this is doing to the buy/sell guides - If you were going to do some sort of an intellectual study of things and you'd come up that there must be something wrong with the data, cause this is not possible. Somebody doesn't know what they're doing. That's a pontificators point of view. Cause a pontificator are not traders, they're not buyers and sellers. They're not active. They're not on the field. They're in the stands. And they learn throughout their classes of graduate level statistics, so forth. There's certain norms and there's anomalies and there's all kinds of other things. And when, when something doesn't make any sense, they throw the outliers out. We see that actually on MMR. In other words, the stars (*) next to the results are outliers.  Outliers mean they brought something that the computer in the AI and the pontificator can't understand.So in order to come to a number that makes sense, they've got to throw them out because you can't explain it.  Therefore it becomes outside the data set that the people pontificators use to tell everybody what's good and what's bad and why it went up one quarter of a 10th of a percent..  Which translates into what I would call noise. I guess initially you would say that they do that for the people that buy and sell cars would have some guidance in terms of desirability and where the market direction is going. But it turns out to be only good for other pontificators and has nothing to do with a trader.  A person who's their job and their livelihoods based on understanding how they're going to find cars, how they're getting rid of cars, why they get rid of cars and where they do it. All the rest of the things that have started since the beginning of time.Now what Accu-trade does as we look at this..., and, you know, obviously we are involved with buying/selling thousands of cars and we're up a couple hundred thousand appraisals a day here. We're actually in the middle of something that if you're going to talk to a trader or a person like a used car manager, a used car dealer, or somebody whose livelihood is directly related...  Or a dealer principal, whose investment is their portfolio of cars, right? They also have 401ks and stock accounts with professionals to tell them how to buy and sell stock.  It's the exact scenario.In other words I think what we extract and what we observe, and then hopefully what we'd be able to help people understand are the anomalies that don't make any sense, but they have to make sense because otherwise you become an in lane pontificator, even if you're not in lane.The Self-Defense Mechanism of In-lane PontificatorsSo what I mean by that is this Sean-ie. You've been in the auction business a long time. So I think you'll understand this pretty clearly. When a car gets up in the wind and a couple people lock up, three, four people are now locking up on it on the internet and it's banging away and a floor could be, you know, 27 G and a car brings 33 G. You can see where CarMax quit, you can see where Carvana quit. You can see who really is the best end user. And then everybody starts saying, “I don't like grapes”, because you can't reach them. You say you “don't like grapes”.No, the answer  would be, “Oh man, he stepped on his balls on that car. Boy, what's he going to do with that? He, he, he killed himself.” Okay. The pontificator, the in-lane pontificator at that point is basically justifying why they don't have the ability to understand why the car brought so much money.And that's like a self defense mechanism, right? “Oh my God, what's he going to do with that car?”First of all, what's the difference. Now there's a willing buyer or a group of willing buyers ran a car to a point where they all got sick of bidding and they don't see how they could actually find a better end user than the person that actually was still standing.The Buying Algorithms at WorkNow, you're starting to see this. I'm watching it very clearly, right? Where I could tell you exactly where certain algorithms from the bigger buyers are set to buy. They're bidding on just about every car. So therefore the pontificator in the lane, once again, say “oh Jeeze they're buying all the cars' ' They're not, I think we covered that in a previous session. No, they're not. What they're doing is putting it on cruise control and ending their bid at a point where they're happy to own it.And therefore, if they own it, when I look at the statistics, it's rare that the car brought anywhere close to too much money. They bought a car for what it was worth. It could be a little muddy because of equipment or dust or that, or whatever, but they bought a car worth of candy and they need fillers. So they're happy to do that, right?“Fillers” are cars that actually are in the middle of the bell curve that fill the holes up. That's not a point car, and that's not a trick car. Something with, you know, too many miles with a little story to it. But it's so cheap. Anybody in the world can sell it to a, let's call it a different demographic of buyer. You follow me?If you ain't got them, you can't sell them.When you think about it, Seanie and anybody else, that's been in our business for a period of time, the pontificator who loves to throw stones at the person that turned out to be the best end-user.  You know what they do?They go home with a car.   And you know something, it's really weird how this works. If you ain't got them, you can't sell them. You can't talk about how much cars are bringing to a customer when they walk in the door and they're looking to buy one. If you ain't got them, you definitely can't sell them. You got to have them. Transact with Confidence but it all comes down to this...Now, what that really means is it's all about, you know, when we talk about our tools to commoditize the VIN, and we give you all the statistics and reality and insurance policies around that. So you can transact with confidence. What it really means is the market really will dictate what the value of a VIN is. And, and by the way when you look back and forth to swing of the rhythm of the market in different categories of cars.It gets to a point like we are right now on the anniversary of disaster, we are on the anniversary of the second birth of the craziest, most unexplainable, incredibly dumb thing in the world, which is all based, obviously on what?... you guessed it supply and demand. You follow me. Nobody's Coming in to Buy your Cement Parking BlockersIn other words, when they're aint' none, and you got to have them, cause it's really hard as piss to sell cement parking blockers, you can't sell them, but you can't drive them. So nobody's coming in to buy your cement parking blocker. You see, you gotta have something instead of the cement parking blockers therefore it's called a car, right? And if you ain't gotta ‘em, you ain't gonna sell them.Any vehicle that falls into any category, that's one that you like, and there's a bunch of other people the same, and there aren't enough of them... like a big shock.They go and bring more money. You see what I'm saying to you?The Books Don't Catch UpAnd, and so then the, you know, the pontificators also say, “well, you know, the books don't catch up” . “ NADA won't let me finance it.” That's, that's an inevitable thing. It's kinda like when market reports don't catch up and you've got a two, three, four week period where they can't catch up with the real market. So cars are bringing it to three g, four g over five, eight, ten G over, right. It's not unusual to see one bringing 10 G over whatever they brought 30, 60, and 90 days ago. And the thinner traded units. When you look at one, put it in Acc-trade, look to see where it was last year or the year before, two years ago. It's not unusual to see a 2017 that retailed for $49,000 in 2017, bring in $52 500 today, and a retail for less than three years ago.It's not unusual at all. Now, is it a shock?Is it like, well, “that's impossible. That's crazy. What are they going to do with that car” Pontificator.You can Watch Somebody else do Business, or You can do Business Well, what you'll do is you can watch somebody else do business, or you can do business.  In other words right now. And it looks like, I mean, again, I'm not going to pontificate when new cars are showing up. When people started having inventory again. But I can tell you one thing, if you wanted to buy a new Rolls Royce, you couldn't find one. You want to know why? They're all gone. And you know, when they're getting more, never  They're all going to China. So in other words, if you want one, you are going to have to pay up. So that means they could have retailed two years ago for X, but now it's going to wholesale for the same price.We see it over and over and over again. Now that don't mean one that's all hamburgered up chopped up, you know, wrapped and nine different people have owned it and that no, no, no, not, not that one. Cause that turns into a pure and absolute trashcan. So trashcans, aren't cars, trashcans are trashcans. Right. And some of them are on wheels,and that has a home.  But it just ain't going to be the one where we're saying in the general marketplace that we're looking at right now.  Like a human owned it, and it took care of it a little tiny bit. And now it shows back up in the marketplace and they bring too much money...if you're a pontificator. What they're actually bringing is market value. Does that make sense to you, Sean?Did you Pay too Much?So at your auction yesterday, when dealers were like paying up a little bit here or there on a car and the other guys are looking around, making goofy faces, like they're eating sour grapes or something.Did you hear that yesterday at all? Sean, in your auction?“You hear the crowd murmur”“Oh my God, how did he step on his thing? Oh my God, what's he doing?” Okay, I'll take exactly what he's going to do. It happens to us on a weekly basis, the car, it looks like it was brought like Mars type moonshot type money dealer says, “Jeezus, I paid a lot for that car.”  Really? My answer always is, “could you please bring it back? I never would want you to pay...” “Oh no, I can't bring it back. I sold the b$t¢h.”So then the question becomes, did you pay too much? No, the answer is, of course you didn't pay too much.  You paid arbitrage market value. Not Selling it to the BottomAnd you had enough brains to not sell it to the bottom of the three other cars that are maybe similar, maybe not.That you have to push a little. “So I can't sell cars, if I can't be number one, number six of the ranking of 27, can't do it”  So that's where you get to pontification. In other words, data and processes that cause brain freeze.   And it also puts common sense on the back burner. And the minute you put common sense on the back burner you've actually committed intellectual suicide. So in other words, in our half knucklehead business that we're in right? “Only halfway educated people, you know. Could have been a drug dealer. If I wasn't a car dealer.” you know, the personality types, the “larceny” that's in everybody's heart and all the rest of it. Right? You can say all those pejorative things, right?But the fact is common sense really is central to anybody that you could point to and say, this is a guy that actually has what they're doing.Now, if you give the information that's necessary for those folks to make good decisions, you're actually filing their pencil down to be more effective. And the more effective they are, they don't spend time worrying about what somebody else is doing with the car because they're actually focused on not selling Macadam, not selling pavement. The Market OutlookWe're going to be in a tight market for the next, I'm going to say for sure, two months. It's probably going to be a four month period where we're back to the euphoria of last year's May, June, July, and August, where “there's no way this could ever keep going” because it was completely crazy. Right? But it kept going.  Well, you know, in December, we started going back almost to reality and you know, the average sellers back to “no-saling” half or three quarters of their cars.But at this point, if you're presenting your stuff correctly at whatever level you're going to get surprisingly good money for your vehicles. It basically comes all the way back to - “how's the market?”  The market is starving for inventory.  Cater to Your Buyers Today I'll tell you the other thing that's happening right now, with these acquisition things, where you're gonna go on social media and you're going to FaceTime with the seller and you're going to do all kinds of things, right? That over the next month, two months, three months is going to actually rebound to the point where everybody's going to try to understand how:They're going to have their own buying center.Who's dedicated to paying off?Making sure it's a great experience?And get a good Yelp from the consumer that you bought the car from, that had a lack of equity.And now you're going to do all kinds of things and tricks to make sure he gets the car and he's happy. And he gives you a good review, right? That's going to be over the next month, two months, three months. That's all going to pop back up because as people say, I can't go to the auction and pay these prices. I can't do that.  Digging into Service DriveThe only alternative would be to dig into your service drive.And we're not trying to over talk about what we have built for that to happen with the service drive tool and Accu-Trade, right?In other words, next level everything, when you're talking about how we're going to knowwho the customer is,what the car's worth,what's broken on the carand understand how you craft your conversation. If it's a car you're going to keep. If it's a car you're going to wholesale because you didn't have an opportunity because it needs $4,300 in the shop and they can't afford to do it. Now you're actually going to acquire it and push it to one of these knucklehead marketplaces and pick up your $2200 profit, right?   Or be able to acquire it. And with enough room in it, do your repair. So you're no longer moaning with your service manager, how he's trying to ruin you because you know, you're trying to make a profit. And all he wants to do is ruin you with his RO in the shop. You see? So, I think what we're going to see when we say “what's the market conditions like?”Flipping Rocks and Looking for SalamandersWe're back to, we got to start finding out if your neighbor wants to sell their car, go on facebook, to the things with Craigslist, all of the things that you would normally do.  Start flipping rocks, looking for salamanders, right? That's back on full swing.And again, not to be a Hawker here, but that's exactly what our tool is built for to sit on those platforms, to be able to not only recognize, but to act on.  Leveraging our tool in this particular use case to know:where it iswhen it's beenhow long ,who sold it?Look at the pedigree when it came backwhen the last time was listedHow long it sat there,understand what the accident wasthe equipment and all of the rest of itThe means to know if you're going to call Mr. and Mrs. McGillicutty and make them an offer they can't refuse.  Summing Up - It's Time to Clean OutYou see what I'm saying to you? You see what I'm saying to you? Sean-ie?I don't know if that's a I would say is a comprehensible understanding of where we are in a market.The market's nuts it's completely off the wall, goofy, nuts, wacko, crazy, unbelievable. Where, when you're buying trucks from Enterprise, which you could never buy, it's like who in God's name would buy a truck from Enterprise and you show up at an auction and it clips off 2,700.  You see, take another look at your Enterprise trucks that have never had an internet look and think about placing that little baby under a hammer, see how it works out for you. You see, because they've skyrocketed not because they're spectacular,or have a good look to them. Of course, they have a horrible look, tiny little wheels, got nothing inside, but you see at this time when you have a complete fever in the marketplace. Oh, no question about it. Now's the time to clean that out. It's time to clean it out and make yourself a wholetail profit. And in many cases, I'll reiterate it more than you're asking for the car retail. Absolutely. The broader arbitrage market will reveal it to the other best end or better end users.Thank you to anybody that takes the time to get bored with these conversations. Have Fun everyone.

Make a donation to Unity Center of Norwalk "How Did I Get Here? - My Journey" a talk by Theresa Crisci Below is a message from Rev. Shawn, senior minister at Unity Center of Norwalk "The Way Through Fear" Hey Everybody, Everything seems to be so different than I thought It Would Be. Success is different. Failure is different. Age is different. Money is different. People are different. Love is different. Relationships are different. Forgiveness is different. Peace is different and Wisdom is different. Most of all, God is different. Jeeze! Everything is different. I often wish that many things would stop changing… then there are others I can’t wait to see change. Really, it’s a life of whimsy I want. I want what I want when I want it and I don’t want the other stuff when I don’t want it. It can be a burden to be me with these thoughts. I went to my home town a few weeks ago. I was shocked at how different everything is than I remember it. My childhood home is much smaller than it was when I was a child. (The house didn’t get smaller; I just didn’t notice its size as a child.) Have you ever bitten into a piece of delicious looking carrot cake and discovered it was spice cake? For me, that is very different and not a pleasant different. Have you met people who are so different than you thought they’d be? When you came to Unity, was it different than you thought church would be? Were the people different? Was the music different? What about the message and the philosophy, were they different than you had anticipated? Everything I just listed was wildly different than I had expected. Even better, it was a “different” I liked. So it was easy to call it good. It’s that other “different” that makes life harder. It doesn’t make life bad, but it can be exhausting and disconcerting. A prayer I like to use when I’m confronted by my own discomfort when things are different is, “Spirit, show me all of the good in this so that I don’t confuse it with anything else.” I’m always shown when I ask. I’m not always shown in words but often in understanding and divine ideas. Different can be really disconcerting but it also shows us what we are thinking right now. Pay attention to those thoughts and see how you can use them for freedom. Wow! Rev. Shawn

Welcome to another episode of PaleOMG Uncensored. I am here on the couch with my little puppy dog, and I’m squeezing his ‘widdle wips.’ He’s so freaking cute. He’s been a pain in my ass lately. I don’t know how people do it with children. But I still love him. If you live in Colorado; I think this has been on national news because I keep having people sending it to me. Maybe they’re from Denver, I don’t know. I guess some woman; I don’t know if she had dementia, or she was a hoarder. Something. But she had like 25 or more French bulldogs at her house. Terrible. It was so sad. And they were incredibly malnourished. They had to euthanize a few of them. So sad. Obviously they have a ton of behavioral issues. I’m guessing this is an incestual situation, if there are 25 of them in this house. So f*cking sad. And this happens with all kinds of different dogs. But I keep getting people sending me this message; this email. Whatever I’m trying to say. This link. Because these French bulldog; I don’t know how old they are. But these French bulldogs are going up for adoption this Saturday, when this podcast comes out. And so people are like, “Go get Jackson a brother!” But here’s the thing. Jackson has become a real asshole. And you know, like mother like son. {grunting} Jeeze, mister. Like mother, like son. I think he can feel that I’m not a huge fan of kids, so he’s not a fan of kids. He can also sense; I don’t know. He’s just weird. He has just become weird in his older age. And he gets kind of mean around dogs; especially puppies who are all skittish and crazy. I’m like, dude you were like that like a year and a half ago. But they get so old so quickly. He’s like an old man. So a brother or a sister is just not going to happen. Because I don’t want to work for a few months at him not hating another dog. I just don’t want to work at it. Because I’ve been traveling a ton. I have a ton of travel coming up in the next just two months. So that just wouldn’t work. It just wouldn’t work. I know those dogs will get picked up so fast, it’s not just because I’m not getting on they’ll never be chosen. Before; my sister-in-law and I were thinking about going there and just looking at them. Which you know is always a terrible idea. Especially because she just moved into an apartment. I’m like, wouldn’t it feel nice to come home to a dog? Right? But yeah, we think it’s a bad idea. So I think we’re going to try to stay away from that, and know that they’ll get picked up in a second. It will happen, ok? But man. It’s so sad. Dogs being malnourished; why don’t those people go to jail. Right? It’s like, if you hurt a human, you go to jail. But hurting animals is way worse. Is that f*cked up to say? I don’t care. So, I’m very excited you guys. Because tonight I get to go to the live episode of My Favorite Murder. And if you're not into true crime, then you’ve probably never listened to this podcast. If you don’t like murder, I wouldn’t listen to that podcast.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking about portion control. And when I say portion control, I don't mean limiting your food or restricting your food options. I simply mean taking care of your body, feeding it the food it truly needs, and fueling it on a daily basis. Just a quick recap here of the things that helped me take control of my overeating behaviors: Facing what was making me unhappy. Once I owned up to what was making me unhappy and why, I was able to get control of my emotional eating since I was trying to fill a void any longer. Not telling myself I couldn't have something. Listening to what my body was craving and what it didn't like. Drinking a SH*T TON of water. I try to drink a gallon or more a day. Eating on time, meaning not letting myself get ravenous which tends to lead to poor decisions. Seeing food as fuel. I think that's about it but I can't remember since I recorded this 20 minutes ago.

You don't need to go to Texas to have a chainsaw massacre! Finally bowing to listener pressure Troy and I are covering our first Juan Piquer Simón movie. To say that PIECES (1982) is a unique film is to undersell it's many odd qualities and the strange pleasures that can be derived from this incredible horror effort. Simón is infamous for directing several terrible movies in the 1980's that are usually hidden behind his Anglicized pseudonym J. P. Simon. Besides this film he is responsible for the movie at the heart of the classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode 'Pod People' as well as SLUGS (1988). Simon's films often got distribution outside of Spain because of his insistence on filming in English knowing that America was the biggest market for genre pictures - don't ever sell the man short when it comes to business! Simon's original title for his script was 'Mil gritos tiene la noche' which translates to 'A Thousand Screams in the Night' and while that might be an interesting name for this tale, PIECES truly sums it up perfectly. Pulling inspiration (to be generous) from several different sources (The Shadow, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, anything that might occur on set, etc.) the movie might not be very original but it is also never boring. I have a personal affinity for PIECES that stems from having seen it on the big screen in its American theatrical run in 1983. We touch on this tale of teenaged movie going and how it might have been the beginnings of my adult fascination with Euro-Trash cinema as well as Troy's earliest impressions of this gore drenched classic. We have a great time discussing this crazed film and I get so excited I spend several minutes referring to Lynda Day George as Susan George! Jeeze! Luckily Troy notices and steers me back to the correct name and then we publically embarrass the poor actress by playing her most cringe inducing line from this film. We can be bastards! Bastards. Bastards. The mailbag is light this month but we do have some interesting comments from a listener who has gone and created his own podcast - Fandom Radio Podcast! Go check it out! I also relate the discovery that the novel on which ROTTWEILER (2004) was based was actually filmed once before in 1979 with EXORCIST star Jason Miller in the lead role. I now need to watch this version and report back to compare and contrast. You can reach us over on the Naschycast Facebook page or email us your thoughts at naschycast@gmail.com if you so desire. We'll be back next month with a very obscure Naschy film from the 1970's. Thanks for downloading and listening.

Is he any good? M: I actually really like him. His books are interesting, especially For Whom the Bell Tolls. It's about an American during the Spanish Civil War. And The Sun Also Rises is also really good. It's about a group of people who travel down from France into Spain to watch a bullfight. W: While that DOES sound interesting, how about a book set in America? And a book with a woman as the main character? M: Well, there's The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. W: OK, that sounds interesting. Dare I ask what its about? M: It's about a girl who falls into depression. W: Jeeze, sounds sad. I don't really like sad things. M: And let me just say… although the book ends NOT depressing, DON'T read about the author's life. W: Fine, just give me the book… Wait. Here's another one. Who's this Virginia Woolf? M: Oh, oh. If you don't like sad things, I would just put that one down… (Written by Matthew Bola)
