This is fantastic. Um, you know...
it's such a great opportunity
to talk to a filmmaker that I've always admired so much.
I always said when I grew up I wanted to be you.
And now, even today I say, "When I grow up, I want to be you."
[Laughs]
'Cause I want to keep that energy and that passion
for movies,
and you just shoot back to back to back, you know?
And you've got such incredible taste
that just allows you to go from one film to another.
Yeah. The plan is that there is no plan.
Yeah, exactly.
And you mentioned when we were talking before we sat down here
about George Orwell and all that.
Sure.
And that reminded me of your...
really famous award-winning "1984"...
With Steve Jobs.
Yeah, the -- Yeah, the Apple commercial
with the girl with the hammer...
Yeah.
...and how that, first of all,
revolutionized what a TV advert could be.
Sure.
But it's just a beautiful little, you know, short film.
Well, you know, the courage of an agency.
The Chiat/Day were brand-new, hadn't got an account.
They had this account.
Mm-hmm.
They came to me. I was very big as a commercial maker.
And they gave me one sheet saying,
"Look, this is the thing."
I said, "Well, Apple? This is the Beatles."
He said, "No, no, no, no. Not the Beatles.
This is a guy called Steve Jobs."
"What does he make?" He says, "Computers."
I said, "For what? Household computers?
What, to write the shopping list?
What are you talking about?"
[Laughs]
How wrong I am.
And I said, "You know, how much does it cost?"
He said, "$2,500." I said, "Are you kidding?
It's too expensive."
[Laughs]
But I like it. It's fun because you never show the product,
and all you, at the end, say is "We're gonna show you,"
relying on the fact that people know what "1984" was.
Yeah.
Surprising how many people didn't know what it was.
It wouldn't work today because too many science fiction fans
only know their science fiction from movies and television
and their pop culture references,
video games and so on.
Um, they don't know it from the literary route.
Or they don't read.
We are today's novelists, if you like,
because the evolution of the film, in effect, is a book.
Yeah. Yeah.
And they vary in how good they are to how ordinary they are.
That's the way it goes in literature as well.
Mm-hmm.
So I'm hoping that we are replacing the book,
but it's a lazy way of getting information,
'cause you're sitting there.
You're not having to do this -- smell the page
and, you know, look at the cover.
Yeah.
You're just being fed information.
Is that good or bad? I don't know.
Well, you have literary roots to a number of your films.
Yes.
Like, "Blade Runner" comes from a Philip K. Dick novel,
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
Yeah.
Which most people don't remember.
The book is very -- 19 stories in the first 20 pages.
Yeah, exactly. He was all over the place.
And one of the problems is you've got to select that central story,
which Hampton did -- Fancher did.
Yeah.
And then off that -- I met Dick,
who said had read that I said off the side --
and you got to be careful what you say --
I said, "Geez, I couldn't get through the book."
He was furious, so to make amends,
I invited him to EEG one morning --
Doug Trumbull's place.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
"Listen, come and look at a couple of shots."
So I showed him the opening of the movie.
Yeah.
And he was absolutely blown away
and was quelled.
Good. Good.
I'm glad you made amends.
Became pretty friendly.
I'm glad you made amends.
And then, in my mind, what completed that package,
that experiential package for me as an audience member,
was just your pure cinema layered on top of that.
Mm-hmm.
You put us into that -- that world.
You felt the grit. You felt the rain in the streets.
You felt the crowding.
You know, all of that comes from just life and living,
'cause I'd done a lot of commercials
before any film -- a lot.
And in that time, it would take me to Hong Kong
prior to the first skyscraper ever being built in Hong Kong.
So I was working in the harbor on junks in the harbor.
There'd be 1,000 junks.
And the -- the Bank of Hong Kong was just about to be built,
so Hong Kong was a massive, medieval situation.
It was unbelievably stunning.
And they'd just discovered polystyrene.
So everything went out the window,
so the harbor was a floating collection of polystyrene.
Yeah.
And it was the future. That was dystopia.
Yeah.

BOSS ES-8 - Tour Rig Introduction by Alex Hutchings - Duration: 5:56.
Hey guys, Alex Hutchings here and we're live in Vega, Copenhagen on the Steven Wilson tour.
I'm just going to show you my rig if that's cool? Firstly, my brand new sexy guitar.
Let's look at the guitars, I've got a Fender Strat here, my other custom guitars here built by Tom Waghorn in UK
And...the control station here, this wonderful board. The guys at BOSS UK helped me build, Jay and Matt,
so thanks to those guys.
The main hub of this is the ES-8. I've got all my different sounds along the back here,
but this really controls everything.
The awesome thing is, it can also control the amp.
I've got amp controls on there, so I can change from the clean channel to the drive channel,
and the boost on different channels and the reverb on/off as well,
all from a TRS cable which is controlled from here.
The rest, as you can see, I've got the 500-series here, the Reverb, Delay, and Modulation.
They are all MIDI'ed up, which means when I patch change,
you will see the all of them can change at any given moment as well which is really cool.
I've got the volume pedal, expression pedal as well.
OK, on one of the tracks I'm playing, really simple and subtle,
I've got a bit of a Leslie sort of sound from the MD-500
And then, later on in the song I've got kind of like a shoegazer with lots of delays and reverbs, which is really cool
So let me just show you how you can switch between those. Here's like a basic tone...
As I kick in the pedals...
Okay, so I go from that to a rather extreme sound in one hit, change plectrum, get that kind of shoegazery sound.
So like a massive crescendo to the song, that's pretty cool. That's all the three pedals on at the same time.
There's another cool pedal in here which I love, is the JB-2.
This is really cool because you've got that Angry Charlie pedal in there, plus the Blues Driver.
I use both of them quite a lot actually, on this gig. I use the Blues Driver to boost certain things and to add
a bit of depth to the sound. On this track I play a solo with the JB-2 into the Clean of the amp.
So I just quickly show you that.
The JB-2 being here, you notice as I change patch, it changes colour
and that's because the ES-8 has a control cable going into the side,
so per song I can assign that to come on and off.
In the manual mode here, you'll see that pedal two is the JB-2,
so that's on in the blue mode, or the Blues Driver mode,
for the basic riff of the song which sounds just like this...
Then, when I go to the solo it kicks the JB-2 into the Angry Charlie mode, like this...
So nice smooth kinda solo patch on that one. Check this one out, I'm using the DM-2W and the expression pedal.
This gets a bit wacky, so if I just go like...
So I do some crazy stuff in there as well. The other thing is, I've got this wired up in four-cable methods,
so sometimes I like to put the delay through the amp effects loop. If I'm using the Crunch from the amp
to get that kind of big metal sound, I can do that and have the delays in the effects loop
but sometimes if I want to run the delay in the front I can also do that.
One of the solos Steve asked me play the delay in the front,
and that sounds like this, the sounds more gritty and messy in a way.
Alright guys, there's just a real short introduction to some of the stuff. I hope to see you on the road,
come out, say hi and hear this stuff in action properly. See you in a bit.

One Leg Squat T-R-X - Duration: 2:26.
This will be one of the five exercises for the TRX category.
But before beginning I'm going to give you three tips of the most common errors
people make when using this implement.
The first one is to elevate scapula (shoulder bone) or to elevate the shoulders when doing this exercises.
This create too much tension on the superior fibers of the trapezius.
So make sure to stabilize your shoulders down and your scapula back while you are training.
Number 2,
take the body weight to the muscle we want to work.
If we want to workout the hip or buttocks,
keep your arms extended,
if you flex your elbows, you are going to involve your arm muscles on the effort,
on the movement,
so your hip must be on the back,
arms extended.
Number 3,
look down when you are working on your legs.
You must make sure your knee doesn't overpass the tiptoe.
Now, remember always to warm up and stretch before starting.
Now we are going to make a one leg squad alternating.
Remember always to start with the arms extended,
feet are on the front,
I'm going to raise a leg,
I'm going to seat,
return up,
I seat,
return up,
I stand,
I seat.
I want to remind you that we have 3 other categories,
with the goal of working on the development of buttocks and legs.

Rocket with Chair - Duration: 1:48.

For this category in particular,
I want you to execute the exercises in a flat surface like grass or a rug,

and that you warm up and stretch before starting.
For the following exercise,
we are going to place a chair on the back,
but we won't be seating on it.
Why do we need the chair?
The best way to teach you an exercise like this one,
in order for you to do it correctly,
is to think that you need to move
your hip backwards as if you were about to seat.
The most common mistake is to do this,
all the body weight will be on the knees.
So always with the chair on the back,
we are going to think to take the buttocks towards the chair,
we will spread the legs at the same width as your hips,
along with my hands,
I do a squat,
move my hip backwards,
I jump and spread legs.
Take care and see you all soon, all be well.

Texas Politician "Guns Don't Kill People, Doors Do!" - Duration: 11:30.
LT.
GOV.
OF TEXAS HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS IN THE MEDIA
IN REGARD TO THE TRAGIC SHOOTING
THAT TOOK PLACE IN SANTA FE TEXAS.
10 PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT OF A STUDENT COMING ONTO THE CAMPUS
AND OPENING FIRE.
DAN PATRICK IS AN ADVOCATE OF GUNS, DOES NOT WANT GUN
CONTROL, SO HE HAS LOOKED FOR ALL SORTS OF EXCUSES AS TO WHY
MASS SHOOTINGS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST VIDEO WHERE HE EXPLAINS SOME OF
THE REASONS.
>> WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DESIGN OF OUR SCHOOLS LOOKING
FORWARD AND RETROFIT SCHOOLS THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THERE ARE TOO MANY ENTRANCES AND EXITS
TO OUR OVER 8000 CAMPUSES.
OVER 8000 CAMPUSES.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO PUT REGARD AT EVERY ENTRANCE
AND EXIT.
YOU'D BE TALKING 25, 30, 40,000 PEOPLE.
MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT LIMITING THE ENTRANCE AND EXITS
IN OUR SCHOOLS SO THAT WE CAN
HAVE A LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE WHO COME IN ONE OR
TWO ENTRANCES.
SCHOOLS MAY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR START DAY SO EVERYONE DOESN'T
SHOW UP AT ONCE.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE CREATIVE BECAUSE FROM WHAT WE
KNOW THIS STUDENT WALKED IN
TODAY WITH A LONG COAT AND A SHOTGUN UNDER HIS COAT.
IT IS 90∞.
HAD THERE BEEN ONE SINGLE ENTRANCE FOR EVERY STUDENT MAYBE
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
THAT WILL TAKE A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY BUT WE NEED TO DO THE WORK
AND DO THE MONEY TO PROTECT CHILDREN THE BEST WE CAN.
>> FINALLY A MAN WITH THE COURAGE TO SAY WHAT WE HAVE
ALL BEEN THINKING, THERE ARE TOO MANY DOORS IN AMERICA.
THAT IS WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS HERE.
>> IF WE JUST REGULATED ENTRANCES AND EXITS WE
WOULD'VE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO.
SURE IT IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE A DISASTROUS SITUATION IS
THOUSANDS ARE TRYING TO EXIT.
MAY BE WE DIVVY UPSCHOOL TIMES
AND WE WILL HAVE SOME STUDENTS SHOW UP AT THREE IN THE MORNING,
AND OTHERS SHOW UP MAYBE AT MIDNIGHT?
WE HAVE TO THINK
OUTSIDE THE BOX AND INCONVENIENCE EVERYONE TO MAKE
SURE WE DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT GUNS BECAUSE REMEMBER THE NRA
FUNDS PEOPLE LIKE ME AND I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD
UPSET THEM.
>>YOU MADE A GREAT POINT ON FRIDAY WHICH IS IF YOU HAVE JUST
ONE ENTRANCE OR EXIT AND SOMEHOW THEY TAKE UP THE SECURITY THERE
THAN ALL THE KIDS ARE SITTING
DUCKS.
AND YOU JUST MADE THE PROBLEM WAY WORSE.
>> THERE IS MORE.
>> THERE IS SO MANY THINGS DONE ON TOP OF THAT SCHOOLS ñ WE ARE
GOING TO CHANGE THE MAKE UP OF EVERY SCHOOL, THOUSANDS OF
SCHOOLS.
HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THAT COST TO CHANGE EVERY SCHOOL AND SHUT
DOWN CERTAIN DOORS UNBLOCK THIS OR THAT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE MONEY FROM?
I GUARANTEE YOU THE POOR SCHOOLS AREN'T GETTING ANY OF THIS
TREATMENT.
WERE GOING TO CHANGE THE SETUP OF THE DOORS INSTEAD OF GETTING
THEM NEW BOOKS OR SUPPLIES?
AND NUMBER TWO, SHOOTING TO HAPPEN
JUST AT SCHOOLS, WHAT ABOUT AT A CONCERT?
>>JUST ONE DOOR FOR 60,000 PEOPLE.
BUT YOU CAN COME THREE DAYS AHEAD AT 3 AM AND WE HAVE SOLVED
THE PROBLEM.
>> NO MORE OPEN-AIR CONCERTS.
THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM IN AMERICA, TOO MANY DOORS, OPENER
CONCERTS, WILL NEED TO BE AFRAID
AND LIVE UNDERNEATH THESE BIG BUILDINGS WITH BIG WALLS AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE NEVER ENJOY OUR LIVES BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO GUNS.
BUT THERE IS MORE, HE BLAMED THE DOORS WHICH GOT HIM A LOT OF
ATTENTION, BUT HE WENT EVEN FURTHER.
>> I WONDER IF YOU CAN REFLECT ON THAT STATISTIC.
>> GEORGE, SHOULD WE BE SURPRISED?
WE HAVE DEVALUED LIFE
WHETHER IT IS THROUGH ABORTION, THE BREAKUP OF FAMILIES THROUGH
VIOLENT MOVIES OR VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES WHICH NOW OUTSELL MOVIES
AND MUSIC.
PSYCHIATRIST WILL TELL YOU THAT STUDENTS ARE DESENSITIZED TO
VIOLENCE, MAY HAVE LESS EMPATHY FOR VICTIMS BY WATCHING HOURS OF
VIDEO VIOLENT GAMES.
>> HARSH CRITICISM FROM THOSE WHO THINK THE PROBLEM IS TOO
MANY GUNS, NOT TOO MANY DOORS.
>> GEORGE, I THINK I LAID OUT THE PROBLEM IS MULTIFACETED, NOT
ANYONE ISSUE, BUT AGAIN WE HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR CULTURE OF
VIOLENCE.
JUST A VIOLENT SOCIETY, OUR FACEBOOK, OR TWITTER, THE
BULLYING OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
WE TO LOOK AT OURSELVES, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE GUNS, IT IS
ABOUT US.
>>THAT HE JUST BLAME MASS SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA ON
ABORTION?
WE REALLY DEVALUED
LIFE?
BY THE WAY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE OF VIDEO GAMES AND
VIOLENT MOVIES, THE SCIENCE IS INCREDIBLY INCONCLUSIVE ON
THAT TOPIC.
SO FOR HIM TO STATE THAT THAT IS THE REASON WHY MASS SHOOTINGS
HAPPEN IN THE US IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
TO USE A CRAZY RIGHT-WING TALKING POINT ABOUT ABORTION
IS RIDICULOUS.
BUT I DO AGREE WITH HIM ON ONE THING, THE WAY WE TREAT ONE
ANOTHER AND THE WAY WE VIOLENTLY
REFER TO ONE ANOTHER OR COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER,
THAT CERTAINLY EXISTS.
WE SEE IT FROM THE VERY TOP WITH DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF, THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WHO RETWEETS IMAGES OF HIM DOING VIOLENT THINGS TO HIS POLITICAL
OPPONENTS.
BUT WE DON'T CRITICIZE THAT.
WE JUST USE THIS AS A TALKING POINT.
>>CULTURE OF VIOLENCE?
THERE ARE REPUBLICANS WITHOUT ALL OF THE
COUNTRY WITH MATCHES SHOOTING GUNS BUT FLAMETHROWERS.
THERE IS A BOMB IN AN AD IN GEORGIA.
THE LEFT-WING SAYS LET'S DO NON-VIOLENCE.
THE RIGHT-WING SAYS WARS ARE THE ANSWER.
CULTURAL VIOLENCE?
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CREATED THE CULTURE OF VIOLENCE.
AND VIDEO GAMES, TOTAL NONSENSE.
THE STUDIES ARE SPLIT BUT HERE IS AN IMPORTANT FACT, AUSTRALIA
ALSO HAS THE SAME VIDEO GAMES BUT THEY HAVE ALMOST NO MASS
SHOOTINGS.
YOU KNOW WHO HAS A LOT OF VIDEO GAMES AND A LOT OF THEM ARE
SUPER VIOLENT?
JAPAN.
ALMOST NO SHOOTINGS WHATSOEVER.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE GUNS.
OOPS.
THEY KEEP SAYING THAT POINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT IT IS
PROBABLY THE VIDEO GAMES.
HOW COME THERE ISN'T A SCHOOL SHOOTING IN JAPAN OR EUROPE?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE GUNS.
SO YOU ARE A LIAR.
AND ABORTION, WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY SQUIRREL.
THIS PICK SOMETHING OUT OF A HAT.
>>THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS HAS REALLY UPSET A LOT OF PEOPLE.
>> AND YOU SEE THE LEFT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN VIOLENCE.
PLUS OUR FACEBOOK.
>>OR AL TWITTER.
>> IF YOU TOOK ALL HIS LOGIC AND APPLIED IT TO THE OTHER
WEAPON, THINK ABOUT IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
LET'S DO IT IN THE CONTEXT OF BOMBS.
WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY BOMBS IN THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE TOO MANY
DOORS.
IN FACT THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP THE BAD GUY WITH A BOMB IS
A GOOD GUY WITH A BOMB.
WE SHOULD HAVE TEACHERS TRAINED IN BOMBING THEIR STUDENTS.
THERE SHOULD BE A BOMB IN EVERY CLASSROOM BECAUSE WHEN THE KID
COMES IN WITH A BOMB, THE TEACHER THROWS THE BALL MET
HIM AND IT IS ALL SOLVED.
OR YOU TAKE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS ñ
THE PROBLEM IS THE CULTURE OF VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES.
IT MAKES NO SENSE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OTHER WEAPONS.
IT ALSO MAKES NO SENSE IN THE CONTEXT OF GUNS.
IS NOT VIDEO GAMES OR RANDOM CULTURAL ISSUES.
IS THE GUNS BUT OF COURSE YOU ARE PAID OFF AND BRIBED LEGALLY
BY GUN MANUFACTURERS SO THAT IS THE SCUM OF A POLITICIAN THAT
DOES NOT CARE.
HE DOESN'T GET TO SAY HE CARES ABOUT THOSE KIDS WHEN HE SO
TAKES A BLOOD MONEY FROM THE NRA AND SAYS I WILL NEVER FIX THE
PROBLEM OF GUNS AND NEXT TIME AROUND YOUR KIDS WILL GET
MASSACRED AGAIN AND I WILL HELP GUN MANUFACTURERS BY PUTTING OUT
THE PROPAGANDA ABOUT HOW IT IS VIDEO GAMES INSTEAD.
>>
BY THE WAY IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR THE NRA TO BUY A POLITICIAN.
FOR INSTANCE, THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ONLY RECEIVED $2000
FROM THE NRA IN 2017.
BUT THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH.
>> HE SAID WE HAVE TO ARM OUR TEACHERS.
AGAIN TAKE UP THE WERE GONE AND PUT IN THE WORD BOMB.
IF ANOTHER PERSON HAS A GUN AT THE NEXT WAY TO STOP THAT IS
ANOTHER PERSON WITH A GUN.
BUT AN EVEN BETTER WAY IS TO IF FOUR PEOPLE HAD A BOMB TO STOP
THAT PERSON.
WHEN YOU MAKE IT ABOUT OTHER WEAPONS YOU SEE HOW RIDICULOUS
THEIR ARGUMENT IS.
IF THEIR ARGUMENT IS WELL IF WE JUST HAD FOUR PEOPLE WITH
BOMBS, WE THROW BOMBS EVERYWHERE, IT WILL BE GREAT.
FLYING BULLETS ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT.
IF FOUR PEOPLE WITH GUNS HAD A GUN IN HIS DREAM SCENARIO AND
THERE IS A SHOOTER SOMEWHERE, WHICH ONE IS THE REAL SHOOTER?
WE WON'T FIND OUT UNTIL EVERYONE
IS DEAD.

THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME BASED ON THE ELECTED OFFICIALS.
>>WHO ARE YOU FAULTING FOR NOT TAKING ACTION?
>> LET ME TELL YOU PEOPLE AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL, TOO
MANY PLACES IN OUR COUNTRY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN
OFFERING PRAYERS.
WE NEED TO START USING THE BALLOT BOX TO TAKE THE MATTERS
OUT OF THE HANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING NOTHING.
TO SEE THAT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY IS
ACTUALLY CARRIED OUT.
>> HE DID SAY SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE HAVE
HEARD FROM OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS IN TEXAS.
HE ACTUALLY DOES WANT GUN CONTROL AND HE MENTIONED THE
FACT THAT THE RECENT SHOOTER IN SANTA FE HAD A TAINT THE WEAPONS
FROM HIS FATHER WHO LEGALLY HAD THE GUNS AND HE BELIEVES THE
FATHER SHOULD FACE SOME POTENTIAL CHARGES FOR NOT
SECURELY PLACING HIS GUNS IN A PLACE WHERE HIS SON WOULD NOT
HAVE ACCESS.
I THINK THAT IS A LEGITIMATE POINT.
OFTENTIMES WE TALK ABOUT GUN OWNERS, WE NEVER DISCUSSED GUN
SAFETY OR MAKING SURE THE PEOPLE STORE THEIR GUNS IN A SAFE
PLACE.
I LOVE THAT HE BROUGHT THAT UP.
>>IF YOU ARE A COP, YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT GUN CONTROL
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.
PART OF THE REASON WHY SOMETIMES THEY ARE SO JITTERY IS BECAUSE
EVERYBODY HAS A GUN.
AND HE IS NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT VOTING OUT POLITICIANS BUT HE IS
ALSO SAYING TO BALLOT INITIATIVES WHICH IS A UNIQUE
IDEA SO THAT MAY BE WE CAN DO AN END RUN AROUND OUR CORRUPT
POLITICIANS.
I THINK IT HAS A GREAT CHANCE OF WINNING.
THAT MEANS COUNTDOWN TO FOX NEWS ATTACKING THIS GUY AND THE NRA
AND THE POLITICIANS THAT THEY FIND TRYING TO GET HIM FIRED.

Family Makes Tragic Announcement About Sen. John McCain
An announcement about Arizona Senator John McCain has just been made that indicates that
he may be nearing the end of his battle with cancer.
Fox News reported that McCain has announced that he does not want to be buried at Arlington
National Cemetery, where his father and grandfather are buried.
Instead, he would like to be buried next to his old Navy buddy Chuck Larson in Maryland.
In his memoir "The Restless Wave," McCain wrote that he wants to be laid to rest "in
the cemetery on the Severn (River) in Maryland, back where it began."
"I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders," McCain
wrote.
"I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for
a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn (River), back where
it began."
A spokesman for the Naval Academy confirmed that McCain has a dedicated plot at the cemetery
that is close to Larson.
The two were lifelong friends after meeting at the Naval Academy, and they remained close
until Larson passed away in 2014 at the age of 77.
In his memoir, McCain wrote that Larson was someone he "looked up to since we were boys,"
and called it a "privilege and an honor, as a young man and an old one, to serve in
Chuck's shadow," in a statement at the time of his Navy friend's death.
This comes as McCain continues to battle a glioblastoma, which is an aggressive form
of brain cancer.
"I don't know how much longer I'll be here," McCain said.
"Maybe I'll have another five years.
Maybe with the advances in oncology, they'll find new treatments for my cancer that will
extend my life.
Maybe I'll be gone before you hear this.
My predicament is, well, rather unpredictable.
But I'm prepared for either contingency, or at least I'm getting prepared.
I have some things I'd like to take care of first, some work that needs finishing,
and some people I need to see."

Why I Like Labels - Duration: 4:59.
Oh hi!
I've often mentioned how I want to be referred to as a Grande Bisexual Hot with Extra Foam.
And by often, I mean only ever in this video that you're currently watching.
So as ridiculous as that may sound, let me try to explain why I think that labels are
important and why I support using them.
First, I admit that I'm taking a broad view of labels.
When I encounter people who think we shouldn't use labels it's normally because there's
confusion about what somebody means when they say they're a gender-queer pansexual.
Or a gender-queer panda-sexual.
But I also am talking about labels when I say that I'm Canadian, I like tea, and I
wish I could live in Prince Harry's beard.
So let me be clear.
I think that by using labels we can actually be more clear, and dispel any improper assumptions
that we have.
Are there people who might be insufferable with labels?
Sure.
But we don't disown our Uncle Bill's because they're going to tell us for the 91st time
why the country should go back to the gold standard.
Let me tell you how I got to this topic in the first place.
It happened very innocently the other day while I was on Reddit.
Now that website is not normally looked at for the most nuanced of debates.
But I got onto this thread about the differences between generations of people.
And one commenter questioned why newer generations.
The millenniums and the ys and zs were all so fixated on labels.
These were the kids who were told by parents that everyone was special.
That it didn't matter the color of your skin, or the amount of freckles you had, or
whether you were a Nintendo or Sega kid, you could amount to anything.
Well… maybe not the Sega kid.
And at the same time they were told by much older generations that nobody is special.
That you can't expect a free ride through life.
That you need to pull yourself by the bootstraps.
However, I think it's exactly those conflicting messages that have led to this need for labels.
And why they're actually useful.
If you've been told that you're special, that everybody is special in their own way,
and we now live in a world that in so many ways values the way people perceive you online,
then it's no wonder we got here.
Pretend that I'm young, dumb, and full of … gumption.
I've been told I'm special.
I've been equally told I'm not special.
So how do I square that, especially when presenting myself online?
One way is to find a forum, or most probably nowadays, a subreddit or a particular Twitch
community and base my identity off of that.
Perhaps I love Doctor Who.
I don't.
But perhaps I do, so therefore I want to be bold and label myself a Whovian.
Or I'm a Nerdfighter, or a Christian, or maybe even an emotional pervert.
On top of that identity, how can I stand out inside that group?
Well I'm gay, or bisexual, or polyamorous.
But then perhaps I even want to dig deeper into that because even though I was born as
a man perhaps I've never felt comfortable with that label, or at the very least, what
that label has become.
So we improve and refine.
Then refine each improvement.
Until we reach this string of descriptors that we can use to truly get to the essence
of us.
And where we have trouble is in different worldviews without the ability to listen.
I dislike breaking everything down into a left vs right debate, because I don't think
everything does or should break down like that.
However, "the left" I would say gets into trouble because we focus on these labels a
bit too much, whereas "the right" focuses on them way too little.
I would love to live in a world where there was only good and evil, where there was only
right and wrong, and where there was only tacos or pizza.
But we don't live in that world.
It's much more varied and interesting.
And I can totally understand where this can come off as white, straight, male equals bad.
But that's incorrect math, and I don't want to be misinterpreted.
What my, and many others, argument is that when it is assumed you're a white, straight,
male when you're not.
There's just a hint of arrogance in that.
It's like when people assume American when you're Canadian or that you're Austrailian
when you're from New Zealand.
Is it the end of the world?
Yes.
But actually not really.
That isn't what we are, and by being specific and using the correct label we can elevate
conversation.
Now on the other hand if we demonize those who aren't familiar with certain terms,
or jump down somebody's throat for an honest mistake we come off as entitled and, dare
I say, snowflake-y.
What I do know is that by having labels that truly define who we are, we can have better
conversations.
Much the same way that by defining what a car and a bicycle are we can have a better
discussion around how to use the road together instead of squabbling over what the best vehicle
to drive is.
We have this opportunity to celebrate uniqueness rather than forcing everyone to conform.
We get to fully engage in the world instead of only associating with the same types of
people.
And I really love that.
Now, I have no idea if any of this is true.
I haven't read any research papers.
I'm not a sociologist.
This is just me thinking about stuff.
So … thanks for wasting your time with me?
I'd love to know what you think!
How do you define yourself?
What labels do you like to use?
Am I simply a whiny snowflake cuck?
Let me know down in the comments below.
Thank you so much for watching!
We will see each other on Monday.

Korean Enough - Duration: 10:28.
So this dish is called Sujebi which is essentially just dough that's
ripped apart and then placed in like a soup base
technically this is considered a peasant dish long time ago in Korea
but it like just smelled it wasn't really
like something my friends were familiar with so obviously when I brought to
school people would ask me questions make me super self-conscious
so I mean I think it was like I loved it but I was also
almost kind of embarrassed of that side of my culture
for the longest period of my life
I think it's like I actually teach at a school
and one of the philosophies they teach the students is
don't "Don't Yuck Other People's Yums"
and this is first graders so obviously the
language is very simplified but I think it kind of touches on the root of
like the importance of preserving culture within such a diverse society
and I wish that I grew up in a neighborhood that almost embraced
diversity in all sorts of aspects of the cultures
They typically treat the younger people
below them
In America, you can be chill with your manager, right?
You can be like, "oh yo what's up Bob, how you been doing?"
but in Korea you can't do that
So basically the Korean hierarchy is that if someones older than you
then you can't eat before they're eating
You tend to usually wait until they eat their food even like if
they're in a professional environments if they're just a lot
higher than you in the corporate ladder then you still have to
wait before you eat, like before the bosses eat
and also when you're drinking you always need to be
if you're the youngest in the group you always need to
be the one pouring them alcohol
and then you need permission from them so
they can pour you alcohol, you know, you can't really put your own alcohol
not just with alcohol with like cooking gogi, meat
the youngest needs to be cooking everything and they need to cook everything
cut all the meat and you know divide it to go older, give it to the
older people and it's like it's like a youngest last mentality
The Korean TV show called Reply Me 1988
and I just love that one because it embodies that whole
Korean culture of like this close-knit community
where it's just like
oh you made something yummy then you should go share
like half of it to your neighbor
or something like that
When I interned in Korea for a while, I could not
not even stay my due time because it was
just so emotionally hard because I felt
judged as someone studying in America
or like someone who's been Americanized
they just assume a lot of things about you
but it's weird because it's like
they're both jealous and they both
kind of like is mean to you kind of
like how Koreans think about Korean Americans
it's like the really kind of like envious part
oh you studied in America, wow that must be so nice
you're chasing your dreams and stuff like that and like
that's like kind of the goal in Korean society still a lot
and then there's like another group of
people who just don't like Korean Americans because they think they're
trying to like be another culture that they're not
or like "oh why are you only speaking English?"
they hate it when you have like an
American accent when you speak Korean
and I just remember like because I went back to Korea a lot of times
I'll be speaking English with my friend in a
restaurant and then this lady sitting next to us
would be like, "can you guys be quiet"
"or can you at least speak Korean, because you're annoying us"
like she basically told us to like shut up and stop speaking English
My mom would sometimes bring out Kimchi
and she's like "oh have you ever had this before?"
and they would be like "what is that"
and they just wouldn't touch it
and you know a Korean restaurants authentic when they
give you all this stuff and it's no extra charge either
it's just a part of the culture where
they want you to have like a variety of things to eat
and the thing is that I I didn't grow up speaking Korean
with my parents because they spoke English
I used English with all my friends at school
and all my other friends were like me
we didn't know any other foreign languages, basically English
so then, you know I feel like my upbringing
is much less Korean than other people
In Korea they bow a lot more than I thought
these kids like they're like 20 years old
and if someones a year older you gotta "in-sa"
like, formally acknowledge them
you know like that was like that was something I didn't
I thought was kind of weird because like
Why would I do that to my friend?
like it's just weird
Well, you know, formal was like
you do that people who are a lot older than you, like adults with your parent's generation
even though I grew up in America the whole time
because you grew up as a minority
there's always, no matter, if you're non-white
you're just gonna have a very different experience
than a white persons gonna have
embrace the fact that you're different
You know?
Embrace the fact that these people are not your race
and as soon as everyone does that it'll just make everyone a lot more tolerant
don't have to love every single race
there's so many cultural differences
you'd be, it's such an extreme that what happens is that
if someone doesn't understand the other culture
they're automatically label as a racist
So this dish is called Deon Jang Jjigae
and it's like a fermented soybean paste stew
this is like a staple, a classic in Korean dishes
every Korean growing up has fond memories of eating Deon Jang Jjigae
For Koreans this dish is actually very easy to make
So, we actually had this a lot growing up
and I loved it, I never really got sick of it
it was just something I could always eat
I always wanted to consider myself an American
but growing up
Since I was born in Korea and I moved to California
when I was like six
But thats hard because many Korean Americans who are born in America
they have the right to say that they are American
You know?
They're American of Korean descent
But me,
It was always hard to say that I was American because
then people would be like, "okay, where were you born?"
or like, "what kind of passport do you have?"
Then I'd be like, okay well, I have a Korean passport
Now its different because my family and I we got naturalized in 2016
and so
I guess since then, it's been
a process of me trying to look back on my past and
My third grade teacher, I still remember her name, was Miss Lawenda
and
I forgot what was exactly happening but the class was going crazy we were just nuts and
the teacher was like trying to get us to calm down
and she was like a very quiet like timid lady and she was just like
"oh hey guys, settle down settle down"
And at the time I was still like 7 or 8
so it was only like 2 or 3 years after I came to America
so I still taking ESL (English as Second Language)
I didn't understand the culture correctly
and these people were going crazy
I was like so offended like I was offended for the teacher
In Korea, that would never happen
because like at the time in Korea you could still get beat by the teacher
you know, they could still hit you
so that would never happen
and so she was trying to quiet the students down
and I yelled as loud as I could
"SHUT UP"
It wasn't like a traumatic experience
but was like mildly embarrassing but also like almost infuriating
and this was me I was like a third grader
just like the amount of respect that
the students gave the teacher was like little to none, you know?
they're just there because they have to be there
where as like
In Korea, it would be like
you have very much respect for the teachers
What is being Korean enough? or American enough?
being one or the other is just not who I am
It's just not who we are
The more we learn to embrace both parts of cultures
taking the good from each and then like in a sense like creating our own culture
the Korean-American culture
which is
something that many minorities have to go through
I guess it all comes down to how much can you embrace yourself
and what you are like I'm not fully Korean I'm not fully American
And I've totally embraced that
I'm Korean-American
