Thotianas and gentlemen, welcome... to the meat show.
And by meat show of course I mean worst rappers in the game, and by thotianas I mean wonderful
respectful women.
And today we will be looking at the one and only Blueface baby, yeah aight.
Should I do this entire video with my audio being out of sync with the video, or is that
a bit too much?
So Blueface is.. a rapper, I think he's also like a crip or something, I don't know
he doesn't really talk about it that much, and to get an idea of his music I listened
to his Famous Cryp mixtape, his Two Coccy mixtape, the We Over Famous project he did
with a rapper called Trendd and numerous SoundCloud singles.
So, is Blueface one of the worst rappers in the game?
Well, this is CDTV, would appreciate you following me on twitter because we are so, so close
to 10k on there, and let's answer that question.
Part 1: Voice
Well for a couple of these segments, I'm gonna have to give Blueface points for standing
out and originality to some degree.
You may have heard Blueface's voice being compared to Courage the Cowardly Dog and yeah,
that's not an innacurate comparison at all, it's pretty spot on.
Now try not to focus on his flow in these clips, don't worry we'll get to that,
but right now we're talking purely about his voice.
His courage the cowardly dog having voice.
And yeah, that absolutely is as ridiculous as it sounds.
And this ridiculousness works in his favour.
His voice is so unpredictable and erratic that it's kind of captivating.
Sometimes he kinda sounds like his parents walked in on him viewing questionable content
on his laptop, and he's just scrambling to close his laptop as fast as he can, desperately
trying to explain what he was doing causing the pitch of his voice to rapidly shift and
crack.
That's what he sounds like.
Honestly, I'd much rather listen to a rapper with vocals like this than someone who's
just monotone rambling, even if it is very hard to take him seriously.
It's not that big of an issue, because if you try and take Blueface super seriously,
you're kinda missing out on the entire appeal of his music.
That's not to say he doesn't have some vocally boring songs though, because he definitely
does have some.
You see, Blueface is pretty lucky in that, at least to me, he has a voice that's naturally
got some character to it, but even that can't save him on a few tracks where he just sounds
so uninterested in rapping.
On these songs, he loses a decent chunk of what makes his voice stand out in the first
place, and it makes for his weakest tracks.
Luckily there aren't too many songs like this, and his delivery is improving pretty
quickly.
On his most recent songs like "Dm" and especially on "Bleed It", he's added
more raspiness and aggression to the way he raps, and that further adds to how attention
grabbing his vocals can be.
We also get to see him trying out a melodic style on Studio, and it unsurprisingly results
in one of the most commercial and catchiest hooks he's made, I'd be open to hearing
more stuff like that.
Overall, it's kind of hard to hate on Blueface's voice, with the only real issues being that
if you're tryna take him seriously, you're not gonna have a good time, and that he's
made his voice appear so interesting that if he releases a track that's a bit more
monotone, it instantly comes off as much more boring.
Other than that, his voice has a recognisable sound to it, he uses it in a pretty unique
way, and if he keeps being aggressive like on "Bleed It", he's only gonna keep
improving.
I'm gonna give Blueface a 6/10 here, there's still some decent room for improvement but
he knows exactly what he's doing with his over the top delivery and taking that into
consideration, it's hard for me not to love it.
Part 2: Flow
Where do I even start with this one?
I guess you could say Blueface and the beat have a.. pretty weird relationship.
If by some chance you couldn't pick it up in the other clips I played, lemme show you
another one.
You may have noticed something there.
The beat?
Well the beat is like, over here... and Blueface is about this far away from it.
Or maybe the beats far away from him, who knows how this man works his magic with this
weird, offbeat flow.
One of the strangest things to me is how Blueface can still make his songs catchy and memorable
whilst his flow is offbeat.
And I say that because if I think about the most memorable parts of the majority of songs,
it's always those parts that fit on to the beat and work with it incredibly well, for
example when certain rhymes line up perfectly with the kicks or the snare drums on a track.
These parts stand out because of the synchronization, and hence are easier to remember.
But Blueface?
Blueface is fighting against the beat, and yet he still has some hooks that will play
through your head all day.
He does hit a few of the right beats, then intentionally misses a lot of the right beats,
and maybe that unnatural style is what makes his songs stick with you, despite the fact
that there's a very loose structure to them.
Its almost like an even more free form version of E-40's flow.
There's still some kind of rhythm there that makes this flow work to a degree, and
he's so confident in being offbeat that it does work somewhat.
The thing is though, how long can this really last for?
The reason I'm saying that is because it comes off as such a novelty act, something
you listen to, laugh at, kind of start to vibe with a little bit, and then realise that
no matter what, rapping to the pattern of the beat will always sound infinitely better.
And it gets even more annoying when I think about how much more I enjoy his songs which
stick more to the confines of the instrumental.
Bleed It, Slidin and Bonco aren't fully matched to the beat, but they're pretty
close and it makes those songs way easier to listen to repeatedly.
I hope we see more stuff like that from Blueface going forward, because the offbeat stuff was
great for helping him blow up, but for me it's something that doesn't have real
staying power.
I'm gonna give Blueface a 5/10 for his flow.
I've got to give him points for being different to every other rapper I've covered in this
series so far with his flow, the way he somehow makes it work a bit and his self awareness
shows that he's deliberately rapping off beat and it's not just a case of incompetent
rapping, but the appeal of this flow is wearing off quickly and his on beat songs are actually
pretty solid.
Hopefully there's more of that moving forward.
Part 3: Lyrics
Can I even speak on the lyrics of such a godly rapper?
It's a tough task, and sometimes we have to look at these lyrical masterminds critically,
so let's do just that.
One of my favourite things about Blueface's lyrics is his funny one liners, a lot of them
are actually put together pretty nicely, such as the legendary "mop the floor, hide the
wet sign just to catch him slipping".
But that's not all.
We also have "I'm like a stripper with this pole, it don't take much to get it
poppin", "eat the ***** like some frosted flakes, I love a tiger body the ***** be great",
"her *** look like 2 midgets in a sleeping bag", "dozing off in this Benz cause I
can afford not to focus", "wok got me poured, but this TEC got him leaning", "but
I ain't trippin, these balenciagas ain't got no laces".
He also has some wordplay that lasts over a couple lines that's pretty cool such as
"Treat my b**** like a pistol, no such thing as keepers, These b****** throwaways, bust
once, then I throw away".
It's pretty refreshing to see a rapper incorporate wordplay in such a playful way in this series
to the point where it doesn't even have to be that amazing, because it's just so
entertaining when combined with his delivery and flow.
However, i know it's hard to believe, but sometimes Blueface actually has flaws in his
immaculate lyrics.
He hid the wet sign so far back, that occasionally he catches himself slipping.
You see, it starts to get a little less entertaining when these lines get recycled entirely or
reformatted into a very slightly different bar.
He does that with almost all of the ones I mentioned previously, and more, and this shows
that there is a limitation to Blueface's wordplay at the moment.
Like I said, the lines did have me smiling, but the second time I heard them in a different
song it made the recycled bar and the original bar lose a decent bit of their impact.
And if I'm being honest, there's not really all that much to his subject matter and every
song is essentially about the same thing.
Girls and guns, that sums it up nicely.
Overall I think I'll have to give Blueface's lyrics a 5/10.
Like I said, it's refreshing to cover someone in this series who has a good sense of wordplay
and puts a lot of it in his songs AND on top of that is pretty funny, but the fact that
he's recycled so many bars already is a bit worrying.
There's also the fact that, while his lyrics are entertaining for the most part, they're
not really about anything, and for me that does pull down his score a fair bit.
Still though, not that bad at all.
Part 4: Beats
Now surprise surprise, the beats are actually the worst part of Blueface's music for me...
hold up that's not even sarcastic, that actually is a surprise for once.
His voice is weird but captivating, same thing with his flow, and his lyrics are always fun,
but his beat selections are actually kinda hard to distinguish from each other for the
most part.
There's nothing wrong with having consistent production choices, but it becomes an issue
when you almost pick the exact same beat over and over and over again.
The formula is simple; usually high note pianos with a little bit of a horrorcore vibe, and
that's the main melody of 80% of his songs, maybe with a eerie synth line thrown over
a few of them.
I'm not even joking, that one sound is so prominent in his music.
Famous Cryp, Next Big Thing, Choose A Player, Dead Locs, F***** Em, Bonco, these beats might
as well be the same one.
I have a feeling these are just the beats he feels most comfortable over because even
his first songs sound like this, you just need to hear No Hook for proof of that, but
he really needs to step outside his comfort zone otherwise every track is gonna sound
like a slightly altered re-run.
I'm not saying these beats are bad necessarily, it's purely that I'm tired of hearing
him over these beats despite him not even having much music out right now.
That was my biggest issue with his Famous Cryp album, the production couldn't be more
one note throughout it and that does take away from the amusing feeling that every other
aspect of Blueface's material gives off.
It makes songs like Bleed It and Studio stand out much more, because they don't have that
formula.
And I really like the beats on both of those songs, with Studio having a more smooth tone
and the bass synth hits on Bleed It giving that track a nice bounce to it.
And honestly even then, he's used at least a couple beats that sound like Bleed It before,
but not to the point of it being too much yet.
Overall, there's not really any production that I think sounds overwhelmingly bad, at
its worst he just has a few beats that sound quite cheap, but other than that there's
no glaring issues with the actual sounds.
My main problem is that repetitiveness and his seeming reluctance to change his sound
all that much.
For that reason, I'm gonna give Blueface's beat selection a 4/10.
That score could definitely be increased if he didn't have full album that basically
sounded like one beat the whole way through, but hopefully we'll see him experiment more
in the future.
Part 5: Enjoyment
If there is one thing i can really say for Blueface, it's that I have never really
covered anyone like this in this series before.
Again, points for a different style have to be given.
Everything about his style is just ridiculous, and that's exactly what has made him so
popular.
You can't not notice him, whether you're laughing at him or with him.
I definitely think that if you try to take him seriously, you're gonna have a
very hard time enjoying his music, he even talks at the end of Dead Locs about how people
are eating up his offbeat rapping.
The main problems for me so far in terms of enjoyment are a) this style does lose its
impact quickly the more you get subjected to it, and then it just comes off as a guy
deliberately rapping poorly which kind of kills his replay value and b) somehow even
with this uniqueness he's managed to become a bit repetitive due to his beat choices and
subject matter.
Overall though, this experience was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be after seeing
all the memes surrounding Blueface's strange rapping.
He's got good foundations, his voice is pretty nice and there's something really
likeable about him, but I honestly just want a full, on beat project from him.
Maybe that would kill his buzz, maybe other people don't wanna hear that, but I personally
would love it, I think he could really kill something like that.
So overall, I'll give Blueface a 5/10 for enjoyment.
Something that is fun in the moment, but nothing that I'm gonna be scrambling to re-listen
to anytime soon.
Part 6: Verdict
So, as a whole, Mr Face scores a 25/50 here, which places him at the number 11 spot on
our list, perhaps a lot higher than you figured he'd get.
This places him above Smokepurpp, and below the best brown boy to ever do it, NAV.
I really hope that Blueface keeps improving, because his recent singles have been really
enjoyable and now that he's blown up after getting an initial push from memes, I think
he could really put something impressive out.
Not that bad at all.

The 3 Best And 3 Worst Hosts In Saturday Night Live History - Duration: 5:31.
Sometimes the best comedic actors falter on SNL, while an athlete or musician can prove
surprisingly funny, and people you're certain will bomb find a way to hold their own.
In celebration of one of television's great institutions, here are the best and worst
hosts to ever step on the SNL stage.
Many people mistakenly believe that Steve Martin was a cast member on SNL.
That's both a testament to the impact he's had on the show and an indication of just
how popular he is with viewers.
Martin is the current runner-up to Alec Baldwin as most frequent host, with 15 episodes to
his name plus countless cameo appearances over the past four decades.
What's perhaps most telling is how frequently Martin appeared in the show's early years.
He hosted for the first time on October 23, 1976, and in less than two years he'd already
joined the illustrious "Five Timers Club."
"Thanks, Mr. Martin."
"Oh please, call me 'Mr. Steve Martin.'"
In those early days he originated the characters that made him an SNL favorite, from "King
Tut" and Theodoric of York, to one of the "Wild and Crazy" Festrunk Brothers.
And of course we can't forget his very famous Christmas wish in one of the show's great
solo sketches.
Sometimes SNL books hosts who aren't professional performers but are just people having a pop
culture moment.
That can be a recipe for disaster, like when Donald Trump hosted in 2004 when The Apprentice
was riding high, and then again in 2015, when he was in the midst of campaigning for president.
The result was predictably high ratings, but not very good comedy, and the show's cast
wasn't particularly happy to have Trump in the building.
Former cast member Taran Killam later described feeling intense shame over the episode, while
Pete Davidson commented that Trump was "weird all week" during rehearsals.
Regardless of how you feel about him as president, we can generally agree that Donald Trump was
not a great SNL host.
Tom Hanks has hosted SNL nine times since 1985, meaning he's starred in classic sketches
in four separate decades.
He's long distinguished himself as a versatile performer, equally adept at dark dramas and
screwball comedies.
In the particular crucible of SNL, he somehow manages to show a different side of himself
again and again, proving just how good and how funny he really is time after time.
There's something very reassuring about seeing Hanks on the SNL stage, as "America's Dad"
gets ready to goof off with the kids for the night.
He's had unforgettable chemistry with numerous cast members in a wide variety of sketches.
He's gotten huge laughs while checking the levels on the mics as a roadie for Aerosmith,
forgetting everything as Mr. Short Term Memory, and donning a black and orange suit as David
S. Pumpkins.
"Any questions?"
Everyone wants to know the dirt on what happens behind the scenes at SNL.
But the show has a reputation as an inviting space for celebrities to come in and try their
hand at live comedy.
So cast members can't necessarily say anything bad about certain celebrities while they're
working on the show.
That means that rude or unpleasant behavior often evaporates into the ether after a host
leaves.
But in some cases, cast members can't stop talking about a disaster, and that was the
case with Justin Bieber, who served as both host and musical guest in 2013.
Former SNL star Bill Hader, who's never been the type to gossip about former hosts unless
they really deserved it, called the Bieber experience his worst in eight years on the
show.
"Yeah, he just was in a bad place."
"Yeah."
"Maybe he's in a better place, but then he was in a very…
It was rough."
Hader also noted that Bieber showed up with a large entourage and was rude to cast members.
But he was also sympathetic with the then-teenage superstar's place in the world at the time.
"He just seemed, like exhausted, or just at the end of a rope, or whatever.
He was just so huge."
Christopher Walken hasn't hosted SNL in a decade, but in his seven appearances on the
show, he's made a mark that few other hosts could ever hope to.
Not every host with a distinct personality can fit into SNL's style.
But others manage to find a way to work their weirdness right into the show's framework.
In Walken's case, that's exactly what happened.
His unique voice, expressive face, and ability to be extremely weird and extremely funny
at the same time suit SNL's writers perfectly, and the result is a series of classic episodes.
"The Continental," his creepy lothario recurring character, always produces plenty of laughs.
And one particular sketch starring Walken as a record producer introduced an iconic
phrase into the world's pop culture lexicon.
"Guess what?
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell."
Paris Hilton hosted SNL in 2005 when her reality show The Simple Life and her sex tape scandal
made her particularly infamous.
It made sense for SNL to seek her out to pull in big ratings, but the resulting episode
was far from the show's best.
Hilton's comedy chops left plenty to be desired, and it turns out that behind the scenes she
was an even bigger headache.
Then-head writer Tina Fey was definitely not a fan.
In an interview with Howard Stern, she called Hilton,
"unbelievably dumb and so proud of how dumb she is."
She also noted that the heiress once refused to leave her dressing room after hearing a
sketch idea revolving around her sex tape, and she would continually offer pitches that
mocked various celebrities she didn't like.

Stan Lee Wanted Us To Forget About These Comics Forever - Duration: 5:15.
Stan Lee may be a comic book legend, but even he had his share of epic misfires over the
decades.
As fans around the world commemorate his life's work, there are a few comics getting attention
that he'd probably wish had stayed forgotten.
"Aren't you…?
"Oh!
Stan Lee.
Hi."
Fearful that another company could swoop in and snatch the name out from under them, Stan
Lee hastily threw together a one-off issue, featuring the superbly titled superhero as
a woman who'd evolved from a spider.
It was slapped-together, and it felt like it.
The character was allegedly never meant to continue past this story, much less find an
audience.
But when Spider Woman's debut issue of Marvel Spotlight #32 sold remarkably well, Lee and
company had a bit of a problem on their hands.
They'd made the character for legal reasons, now they had to make her good.
Writer Marv Wolfman was given the task of making her more than a piece of intellectual
property.
He gave her a new backstory, insisting that her memories of being born an arachnid were
actually implanted by HYDRA, an easy enough fix, so why not?
She was also given a new name, combining the name of his daughter with fictional detective
Nancy Drew.
Jessica Drew soon developed a fan base and an ever-evolving set of powers that never
really made a lot of sense.
Regardless, she went on to become a popular player in the Marvel Universe.
We're a long way away from that terrible debut.
Few people go on runs like Stan Lee did in the '60s, when he was setting creative milestones
and churning out classic characters as a matter of habit.
Considering all the different projects Lee was involved in, it isn't surprising that
a few ideas would turn out to be clunkers.
That's really the only explanation for Paste-Pot Pete, a villain who took advantage of the
evil powers of glue.
Or super glue, if you're feeling clever.
Pete was a lowly chemist when he accidentally created a fireproof superglue.
The discovery abruptly made him act like an insane person, immediately donning a giant,
purple hat and taking up a life of crime.
His debut in Strange Tales #104 made it clear that Pete's glue was not that intimidating
and more just inconvenient.
Who could lose to this guy?
Shortly after he was released into the wild, Lee and his team realized that Pete needed
a serious revamp.
They ditched the paste for high tech gadgets, and gave the villain a new name, Trapster.
Even with those small improvements, the character is still arguably one of the worst enemies
Lee ever had a hand in creating.
Look back fifty years or so, and you can find some astoundingly weird racism casually nesting
in the occasional Marvel Comics story.
Take, for instance, the brief period of time when "being Asian" was somehow considered
a superpower.
The year was 1961, and the comic was Amazing Adventures #1.
One story in the issue, written by Stan Lee, penciled by Jack Kirby, and inked by Steve
Ditko, included an American character named Dr. Anthony Droom being physically transformed
into an Asian person by a Himalayan lama.
As the changes take effect, he shouts cringe-worthy lines such as "My eyes!
They're becoming slanted!"
Droom's racial transformation wasn't just an aesthetic one.
He also received mystical powers.
The character only stuck around for a couple of more issues before the Fantastic Four's
popularity took over.
When he did come back in 1976, he had a whole new name, Dr. Druid.
He also had a different backstory, which thankfully left out any elements of race-swapping.
Regardless, we wouldn't expect this guy to show up in the movies anytime soon.
Comics have been getting dinged for decades for the less-than-great ways they represent
women.
But when readers have called for strong female characters, we're guessing Stan Lee's Stripperella
isn't what they had in mind.
This shameful comic tells the story of Exotica Jones, a stripper-turned-superhero who spent
her downtime in the club, making money moves.
While you can kind of see where Lee was coming from, this was a comic with severely misplaced
ambitions, so much so that it never even saw official release.
Stan Lee explained that he thought the stripper by day, superhero by night character would
be an intelligent figure and someone audiences would emphasize with.
While the proposed tie-in comic was cancelled, the Stripperella idea lived on as an adult-oriented
animated series, making its debut on Spike TV in 2003.
The show lasted for one 13-episode season.
Years later, Lee tried to bring the property back as an app-based webcomic, apparently
not listening as the world begged him to just stop.
Considering Lee got sued by a real stripper who claimed she pitched the idea while giving
him a lap dance, we're betting that this is one comic creation he probably wished had
never made it out of the Champagne Room.
DC Comics thought they'd hit the jackpot when they talked Stan Lee into swapping sides to
write a miniseries featuring his reimagined versions of classic DC characters like Superman,
the Flash, Wonder Woman, and all the rest.
Sadly, the Stan Lee they got wasn't the 1960s visionary, but the turn of the century creator
whose name showed up on questionable stuff like Striperella.
That's how Stan Lee's Batman turned into a misfire for the ages.
The final product isn't awful, it's just really unoriginal.
The comic book tells the story of Wayne Williams, an ex-convict who takes up wrestling while
looking for vengeance against the gang members who killed his father.
You may recall a character from Lee's glory days who also honed his skills in the wrestling
ring.
That's right: while putting his own spin on The Dark Knight, Lee just couldn't help but
rip off Spider-Man.
Lee had a tendency to go back to the same creative well every once in a while.
He's responsible for so many comic book legends that it's hard to blame him, but if this comic
had anyone else's name on the cover, it would get dragged as the retread that it is.
While Lee of course deserves high honors, we're betting comics like this aren't what
he wanted to be remembered for.

1 Good Reason to Avoid Biotechs, Many Great Ones to Buy Roku Stock - Duration: 14:46.
Chris Hill: It's Monday, January 7th. Welcome MarketFoolery! I'm Chris Hill.
Joining me in studio today, Seth Jayson in the house. Seth Jayson: Terms and conditions apply to that, too.
Hill: [laughs] I think that's fair to say
of any analyst who shows up. Definitely with you. We're going to get to the Golden Globes.
There's some relevant investing stuff coming out of that.
Jayson: Red carpet! I'm so psyched! Hill: Should we have a red carpet here for this show?
No, we absolutely should not. Quick thing. Last Thursday on the show, I mentioned
in the wake of the Bristol Myers Squibb deal with Celgene.
Jayson: The oncology buy. What'd they pay? Hill: Just a cozy $74 billion.
Jayson: Ah, I was counting in my head, is it 35 sticks? Only 74.
Hill: Only $74 billion. But, I was talking to Shannon Jones, who hosts the
Healthcare episode of Industry Focus on Wednesdays. I can't remember if I mentioned this on the
show last Thursday or not. I remember in the conversation with her, one of the things she
said was, more deals are coming, in particular with oncology. Cut to this morning: Eli Lilly.
Jayson: 68% premium or something for... Hill: Loxo Oncology. An $8 billion deal.
If you're a shareholder of Loxo Oncology, you're having a good day.
Jayson: I wouldn't have been. Hill: [laughs] Before I get to my question
for you, just a reminder, that's one more reason you want to listen to Industry Focus,
for insights like that from Shannon Jones. The JPMorgan Healthcare Conference
is going on this week. Jayson: That's where this was announced, right?
Hill: It was announced there. Presumably more details on the deal coming later this week.
Healthcare, such a huge industry. Is it one that you invest in? If so, how granular do
you get? For me, it stops with Johnson & Johnson. Jayson: It's tough. I've given up trying to invest
in the Loxo Oncologys of the world. I don't know enough to have any sort of edge there.
Remember, your edge in investing is pretty thin anyway, in terms of knowledge.
You're almost never going to have a knowledge edge. You may be able to have a temperament edge.
I think that's a very important edge. But in terms of trying to pick companies who
have drugs that are going to do well, or have technology to make those drugs and then the
whole company will be acquired -- in other words, some of these aren't about so much
getting just a drug, they're about getting the team of people that created the drug,
and so forth. I don't do it. I'm no good at it. There are people out there who are
good at it. I'm not one of them. I do invest in healthcare companies. I tend
to go for something more like an AMN Staffing, or somebody selling picks and shovels to the hospitals,
healthcare services, someone doing laundry and food service at healthcare centers,
hospitals, and so on. A little easier for me to figure out what's going on. I just feel
like there, I can have some kind of an edge. At least I can know what's going on.
Hill: The Golden Globe Awards were last night. I don't know if they timed it this way,
but it certainly is working out well for Roku. Roku this morning released preliminary data
for its fourth quarter results, and the viewership numbers are better than expected. Shares of Roku
up 20% this morning. Jayson: 20%? That's good for me!
Hill: You're a shareholder? Jayson: Oh, yeah! I've been for a while.
I've been a big fan of Roku for a few months now. Hill: Certainly, I understand why you're a fan today.
Jayson: I might actually be in the positive
on that one now. Roku is probably still almost down by half from its all-time high just a
few months ago, I'm guessing, if it's in the $35 range. I think we were up in the $60s
at one point. I didn't buy it there. It's interesting. Netflix was a big winner
at the awards. I saw articles saying, "Does this mean that things are great for their
development strategy?" I don't know that it does. I tend to look at the winner in this
entire cord cutting movement as Roku. I don't mean that Roku is going to put Netflix out
of business or something like that. I mean, if you're looking for a company that stands
to benefit from all the competition, Netflix isn't it. The competition is coming for Netflix.
Netflix may continue to do fine, but it's going to have a big battle on its hands.
Roku is sort of the Switzerland of online streaming. They're agnostic. They have apps
for just about every service out there. They're becoming kind of the default operating system
for smart TVs and devices. My smart TV in my basement, actually, I've got one.
What happens on smart TVs is, after a while, if it's a proprietary smart TV -- and this was
a Samsung, so a pretty big brand -- Netflix and others just quit making and updating the
apps for the smart TV. They only want to update their Roku app or maybe their Android app.
With Roku, you get all of that. Roku also sells advertising on its own channel.
They also have a payments platform, so you can pay for stuff that you're watching on these
other services through Roku. They can take cuts of that. Roku is growing very quickly.
I think it's a really interesting investment because of that. They may be the ultimate
winner in the cord cutting battle because they're one of the leading, probably the leading
platform in that space, I would say. Hill: It's interesting, when you look at Netflix
shares this morning, up about 5%. Amazon up a couple of percentage points. They were both
winners at the Golden Globes. Jayson: That just makes me laugh so much.
Do people really care about quality? If we call Golden Globes award winners quality.
This is what's crazy. I had not heard of any of these Netflix winners, and I watch Netflix
a fair amount. How do they not bubble this up to me?
Hill: It's interesting. We've seen this trend for the last decade, where the Golden Globes,
you've got television awards and movie awards, as well. Particularly with the television awards,
we've seen this very steady trend of broadcast television dropping when it comes
to the awards. Whether it's Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Hulu has even gotten some old award
nominations and wins here and there, it's pretty surprising.
Jayson: It is and it isn't. Hill: Yeah, maybe it's not all that surprising.
Jayson: They've been going for, this is a loaded term, but a lowest common denominator sort.
Network television, I feel like, when I see the shows, still have the mindset of
pie-in-the-face. Stuff that my 70-year-old uncle would have laughed at when he was 50.
You know what I mean? That's just what I see from a lot of network TV. Netflix, good for them, decided,
"We're going to do some stuff," and originally, it was stuff that had been
rejected by the main studios. A lot of interesting stuff out there.
The problem for Netflix is, in order to be as big as they are, they have to pretty much
say yes to almost everything right now. As a result, they send me e-mails to try to get
me to watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Swear to God! I don't get e-mails from anything,
and they sent me, "New season of Sabrina!" Hill: I don't know that you're the demo for that.
Jayson: No! Also, I thought it was creepy.
It was a Lolita kind of picture, she was sprawled out, this young girl, she was in Mad Men when
she was little. Like, I felt grossed out by it. So I don't understand. What I do get from
Netflix these days is, there's so much original material. Some of it is amazing like the Lemony Snicket
series on there. Just incredible. Neil Patrick Harris, doing a great job.
And then there's a lot of stuff that's really not very good, I don't think. They've done so much.
And then you've got others coming in.
Apparently Walmart Vudu might be doing original programming.
You've Amazon doing some original programming,
some of it pretty good. But I mean, you've got some real problems if you're Netflix if
you've got Disney coming out with their service, you've got DC Comics doing their own service,
you've got -- if I can read my tiny writing -- Time Warner doing one, you've got Facebook Watch
coming out with some original programming. I'm not sure what that will be. Apple is doing something,
which primarily is Reese Witherspoon and Oprah at this point, which seems like
a narrow demographic to me. I suppose they know what they're doing.
So, there's a lot of competition. That's why, to circle back to Roku, I think that by going
with a platform that is agnostic and stands to carry all of these services to every TV,
I think you probably have a very interesting opportunity there.
Hill: If you just think about the basic business model of broadcast television -- we'll put
basic cable aside for the moment -- the reason a company like Netflix is so attractive to
showrunners is because if you're doing a deal with CBS, ABC, NBC Fox, they're saying, "Look,
we're probably going to give you more money than Netflix. In return for that, we're going to need
22 episodes. You're going to have to go on this schedule." With Netflix,
Amazon Prime, Hulu, and others, they're not laying out as much cash per show necessarily,
but the amount of freedom and the fact that it's like, "You want to do 10 episodes?
You want to do eight episodes? That's fine." Jayson: Yeah. "We can find a price that works."
Broadcast television is never going to find a good price for an eight-episode series.
Hill: Three quick things from the Golden Globes. One, at one point, I think it was when the
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won an award, Amazon had won an award. Whoever was doing the thanking
on stage was name-checking a lot of people. And one of the people was Jeff. And they cut
to Jeff Bezos, who's sitting there watching. Jayson: Does he really warrant a one-name name?
Hill: I don't know why I find it amusing
that the wealthiest person on the planet is just name-checked by first name only, but I do.
Two, Carol Burnett getting an award. You didn't watch the awards. I did.
Jayson: If I had known Carol Burnett would be on, I might have watched. One of the funniest people in history.
Hill: Yes. An award was created in her name,
so she was the first winner of said award for television achievement. I'm sure,
for a lot of people who either watched the awards or are just reading the news coverage and
scratching their heads and wondering like, "Who... I think I know who she was... "
An absolute groundbreaking performer. First woman to ever host a variety show.
Jayson: Not only her own stuff was funny, but did an amazing job with that show,
bringing in that cast with all those other people. Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, they were hilarious!
Hill: Yeah. In the same way that we talk about
businesses that have great CEOs, and one of the things we like to see is they've surrounded
themselves with great executive talent, that's basically what Carol Burnett did with her show.
She was not one of these people who's like, "I need to get all the laughs."
She knew that if people were laughing at anyone on her show, they were laughing at her show.
The Walmart commercial. I sent you the YouTube clip for this. Walmart had an ad. I'll put this
out on the MarketFoolery Twitter feed. Jayson: I'll have to watch it because somehow
I didn't do it before the show. I didn't do my homework. But I know the gist.
Hill: It was great! The purpose of the ad was to get across that Walmart is doing
more and more to help customers get their stuff. Some of that involves delivery.
But some of that involves pickup. Jayson: Which people really seem to like to do,
order on the app and pick it up. I guess that's because you know when you're getting it.
Hill: Right, and just drive by and pick it up.
And what they did for this commercial to demonstrate how easy it is to pick up stuff
at Walmart is, they had all of these iconic vehicles from television and movies.
They had the Batmobile, they had Doc Brown's DeLorean from Back to the Future,
Kitt the Talking Car,
which only geezers like you and me remember from Knight Rider, Bumblebee from Transformers.
It was fantastic! Although, when I was telling you about the ad, what was your reaction?
Jayson: We know there are some important cars that don't seem to be there. Christine.
Where was Christine? Hill: Had the same reaction. One of the news
e-mails I get from The Wall Street Journal, same sort of thing. They were like,
"Where was Christine?" For those unfamiliar, Christine, the 1958 Plymouth Fury --
Jayson: Murderer. Hill: -- possessed by hell, basically.
Not surprising that it was a Stephen King novel turned into a movie. Where was Christine?
Jayson: Did they have Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
Hill: They did not.
Jayson: Did they have Burt's car from Cannonball Run?
Hill: No. They had the pumpkin that turns into the carriage from Cinderella.
Jayson: They're going mass market.
Hill: Well, yeah!
Jayson: More 70s, those convoy things, along with a murdering Plymouth.
Hill: Look, they had Kitt the Talking Car. And, yeah, probably just as well that
you and I were not in on the decision making process there.
Jayson: Walmart, give us a call! We've got notes!
Hill: Do you think that's how that meeting goes down? They show us the commercial
before greenlighting it, we're like, "Look, I love the direction, but if you could just
add a vehicle that actually murders people, we think it'll be better."
Jayson: "Right in front of the store, right at the end. We think that would be great for
walk-in traffic." Nobody wants our notes. Hill: [laughs] Not on that. Seth Jayson,

Are Salesforce and Oracle Buys Today? - Duration: 2:21.
Chris Hill: Question from Maddie Peering in New York City.
She writes, "As a fairly recent grad, I've started to take a stronger interest in my
investment portfolio. Currently, it mostly consists of ETFs.
I wanted to get your thoughts on stocks such as Salesforce and Oracle.
I found these two systems to be lifelines in my current company as well as many of my friends.
Also, at first glance, they seem to be reasonably priced and growing.
Would love to get your thoughts on investing in them or what you see in their futures."
A great question. And kudos to Maddie for taking hold of her financial future.
Aaron Bush, Salesforce, Oracle, what do you think?
Aaron Bush: First of all, I just want to say congrats on having that level of awareness.
There's totally value in looking around at your daily life and finding companies that are relevant.
In particular in this case, you're starting to see the investment merits of enterprise
software companies in general.
They're increasingly relevant, they're mission-critical, they're very sticky.
Software at scale is very profitable.
The next step I'd challenge you to think about is, which of these software companies is defining the future?
Typically, it's smaller companies still ramping up, but sometimes it's the larger companies
that fit the mold, too.
I'd say Salesforce in particular is one of those companies that fits the mold.
It's the world's leading provider of customer relationship management software.
It has a massive backlog of companies that want to work with it.
It continues to improve its platform. Oracle is more legacy.
It probably isn't defining the future as much as Salesforce.
A lot of that is because it started back in the 80s.
It's had a tougher time taking advantage of the cloud, and new database technologies like
what's coming from Mongo DB, for example, are potentially threatening.
That said, it's still a respectable company and a lot of businesses rely on.
It has resources to reinvest.
But if I had to pick one of those two, I'd probably lean towards Salesforce.
Andy Cross: Agreed. Salesforce is a $112 billion company.
Oracle's a $170 billion. They're catching up to it.
From a valuation perspective, it's more expensive, but it's also growing far faster at 25%, 30% a year.

New York Stories: Qiang Tu - Duration: 2:31.
Hi, I'm Qiang Tu, or in Chinese we say Tu Qiang.
I'm a cellist with the New York Philharmonic.
My Dad thought it might be the best thing for us to learn something which he knows the
best.
Therefore we started to learn the cello from my father.
When my father decided to make our instrument — the first, my half-sized cello —
we used one part of the wood from our mattress to build my very first cello.
In 1987 I decided to come to the US to continue to study.
Still had a tough time.
When I came, we were only allowed to carry $35 in US currency.
In 1995 I joined the New York Philharmonic as the first Chinese-born musician.
I still remember the very first time to play with the Orchestra. I was so nervous and excited.
Suddenly I see all these like film stars sitting next to me!
Later, when I started to play, the Orchestra's sound really knocked out me.
It's amazing!
I'm so proud I can be a part of this group.

frank & karen — new york. (+S2) - Duration: 2:37.
I had this friend...
Said that, uh... we're all lonely.
I sometimes think that that is all that life is, we're just...
we're just fighting not to be alone.
All life is, is just... trying not to be.
You have everything.
So hold onto it,
use two hands,
and never let go.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you did.
You do this and I am done!
That's it! You're dead to me, do you hear me!?
It doesn't change how I feel about you.
Why?
It should.
It doesn't.
You never lie to me.
Does he?
Does he know you're here?
Come on, Karen. He's good.
You love him, right?
When am I gonna see you?
You want to?
It was really good to see you.
It's good to see you.
Believe it or not, I actually care what happens to you.
Good luck, Frank.
I can't go after these men and keep you safe.
You gotta walk away now, Karen.
Get away from this thing.
You think you can scare me off that easy?
Look, I know you, alright?
You're brave. You're strong.
Still all heart, huh?
You know better than that.
I cannot let that happen.
This piece of shits going after Karen.
But you are so goddamn stubborn, and you will throw everything away for me and I cannot let that happen, alright?
Please.
What's the deal with you two?
Why do you care so much about Frank Castle?
They all think that you're a monster.
And now I'm the monster.
But I know that you're not. You're not!
You could just love someone- someone else instead of another war.
I don't want to.
I can't tell you how much it means to me that you came here.
Sarah's my wife,
Sarah's my family.
I'm only going to say this once, okay. So is Karen.
So make it mean something.
I will come for you.
I gotta walk out of here,
and you can't do it with me.
You stay.
Karen, you go! Go now!
Hell no! Come on!
You're not the monster, you never were.

2 Reckless Predictions for 2019 - Duration: 2:07.
Chris Hill: Reckless predictions for 2019.
What do you have, Jason?
Jason Moser: I was thinking about going with the Red Sox repeating as World Series champions.
Then I thought about it, that's not that far-fetched, really.
I'm calling it, they're going to repeat. That's not my reckless prediction.
I'll go with a more business-related story here.
I was talking earlier about the potential acquisitions that Apple could be looking at here.
What would stop them from wanting to acquire Square.
You want to look at expanding your business and becoming a little bit more of an integral
part of the commerce scene here, not only domestically, but globally.
I think Square and Apple have a lot in common.
They're both in the business of developing sleek hardware that people like to use,
generating some pretty strong brand loyalty there.
Then, we know, of course, the payments space is one that's growing very quickly.
I'm not saying it'll happen, but it's certainly an acquisition that Apple would be capable of executing.
Maybe it will happen.
Hill: Ron? Ron Gross: I went a little off the rails here.
There's going to be more definitive signs of previous life discovered on Mars in 2019.
That's going to build off of the work done by the Mars Curiosity Rover that,
earlier in 2018, found some organic molecules.
We'll figure out where those actually came from and build on that.
There aren't going to be any signs of actual Martians running around --
Hill: Or will there? Gross: -- but I think
we're going to see signs of some previous life.
Moser: Alright, reckless prediction No. 2: Ron Gross and Jason Moser will be heading up
the new Motley Fool Space Investing service to launch either late 2019 or 2020.
Gross: [laughs] Sell that short.
Hill: I'm just going to say that regardless of where free agent Bryce Harper ends up,
the Washington Nationals are going to the World Series.
Moser: Wow! That is reckless! Gross: I'll take that bet.

Puppies With Two Mothers?! | Kritter Klub - Duration: 3:32.
I'm Gangja, mother of 9 pups
And I'm Hooja
I think she's jealous that Gangja has babies
Hooja would try to approach the puppies every day
But the mother isn't having any of this!
Even after several attempts...
They fight over puppy territory
When Hooja grooms one of them..
The mother, Gangja just sighs in defeat
The owner even has to drag Hooja out when it gets out of hand;;
And then Gangja checks up on her pups
Hooja is mad and creates a plan...
"Let's just get digging..."
Many misadventures later...
What's happening now?
Where's one puppy
The chubbiest one is missing
Where is the puppy??
The owner searches the surroundings
Hooja do you possibly...
Speak the truth!!
I have nothing to declare ma'am...
Lies!
The pup was underneath Hooja
"It's okay I'm alive"
...So this was Hooja's plan
The 9 pups have reunited now
But...Why did you do that Hooja?
The vet does a simple check up
W-what?
It's called false pregnancy
It causes lactation without being pregnant
Hooja gave birth to puppies but they all died within 3 days
Hooja had given birth to puppies...
But all of them died too soon
Looking at Gangja's puppies made her miss them more
So she'd look after them like her own
She would even feed them milk..!
Now, when Gangja's on an outing
and busy meeting others
Hooja would be the pup's babysitter
"Best babysitter ever~"
We hope you take good care of care of the puppies together!

Arsenal chasing club legend for role with Sven Mislintat looking for escape route - Duration: 2:38.
The Gunners' transfer strategy has been deemed not fit for purpose by the club, with manager Unai Emery and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat unable to form a working relationship.
Now the London club are looking towards Overmars to solve a problem that also hamstrung his former boss Arsene Wenger in his final years in charge at The Emirates.
Overmars, 45, has worked as Ajax's director of football for almost seven years.
He has been responsible for developing brilliant young Dutch talents like Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt and Justin Kluivert as well as the recruitment of current Premier League stars Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez.
But Ajax are now viewed as a selling club and although they will meet Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, they have not won a trophy for four years.
And Arsenal believe the Dutchman can solve their recruitment problems.
Emery continues to insist that his relationship with Mislintat is "normal".
But the German, 46, is looking for an escape route home after arriving from Borussia Dortmund 15 months ago.
Overmars, who played 86 times for Holland, spent three seasons at Highbury and helped the Gunners win a Premier League and FA Cup double in 1998.
He also starred for Ajax and Barcelona, winning three Dutch titles and the Champions League with the Amsterdam club.
Overmars still has close friends at Arsenal and his links with Ajax are very strong.
He works closely alongside chief executive Edwin van der Sar.
While Ajax are on a strong financial footing the prospect of working for Arsenal will be a huge lure.

Revealed: Meghan Markle Is 'Miserable' In Her Knew Life As A Royal | Prince Harry - Duration: 2:25.
Revealed Meghan Markle Is 'Miserable' In Her Knew Life As A Royal.
Meghan Markle may be welcoming her first child with Prince Harry this spring,
but inside sources claim she is miserable being part of the royal family.
Between all the rumors in the tabloids and her escalating family drama,
Markle has quickly discovered that life as a royal is incredibly stressful.
"Meghan has so much on her plate, between being pregnant and dealing with the public backlash
and she's finding the whole situation incredibly stressful," an insider dished.
Markle's family has been making headlines ever since she got engaged to Harry — and not in a good way.
The former actress' father, half-brother, and half-sister have all been critical of her in the press,
which has not been good for her public image.
Apart from all the family drama, the former actress is reportedly in a major feud with Kate Middleton.
Their relationship has gotten so bad that Prince Harry is allegedly worried about Markle's well being.
Inside sources told The Hollywood Gossip that Harry feels partially responsible for what has happened and is frustrated with the situation.
He is also unhappy with how people have been treating Markle and the fact that his hands are tied.
Despite the drama, the royal family reportedly hopes that Markle's new baby will mend her relationship with Middleton and get everything back on track.
The Duchess of Cambridge just had her third child last year, so it is entirely possible that they will bond over their shared experience.
Another positive takeaway is that Queen Elizabeth adores Markle and has tried to get the women to put aside their differences.
With a baby on the way, Her Majesty is hopeful that their feud is nearing an end. For Markle's sake, we hope the Queen is right.
Markle is due to have her first child this spring, roughly a year after she tied the knot with Harry.
Along with having a baby, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are due to move out of Kensington Palace to a new estate near Windsor Castle.

WORST Rappers in the Game? - Blueface - Duration: 16:40.
Thotianas and gentlemen, welcome... to the meat show.
And by meat show of course I mean worst rappers in the game, and by thotianas I mean wonderful
respectful women.
And today we will be looking at the one and only Blueface baby, yeah aight.
Should I do this entire video with my audio being out of sync with the video, or is that
a bit too much?
So Blueface is.. a rapper, I think he's also like a crip or something, I don't know
he doesn't really talk about it that much, and to get an idea of his music I listened
to his Famous Cryp mixtape, his Two Coccy mixtape, the We Over Famous project he did
with a rapper called Trendd and numerous SoundCloud singles.
So, is Blueface one of the worst rappers in the game?
Well, this is CDTV, would appreciate you following me on twitter because we are so, so close
to 10k on there, and let's answer that question.
Part 1: Voice
Well for a couple of these segments, I'm gonna have to give Blueface points for standing
out and originality to some degree.
You may have heard Blueface's voice being compared to Courage the Cowardly Dog and yeah,
that's not an innacurate comparison at all, it's pretty spot on.
Now try not to focus on his flow in these clips, don't worry we'll get to that,
but right now we're talking purely about his voice.
His courage the cowardly dog having voice.
And yeah, that absolutely is as ridiculous as it sounds.
And this ridiculousness works in his favour.
His voice is so unpredictable and erratic that it's kind of captivating.
Sometimes he kinda sounds like his parents walked in on him viewing questionable content
on his laptop, and he's just scrambling to close his laptop as fast as he can, desperately
trying to explain what he was doing causing the pitch of his voice to rapidly shift and
crack.
That's what he sounds like.
Honestly, I'd much rather listen to a rapper with vocals like this than someone who's
just monotone rambling, even if it is very hard to take him seriously.
It's not that big of an issue, because if you try and take Blueface super seriously,
you're kinda missing out on the entire appeal of his music.
That's not to say he doesn't have some vocally boring songs though, because he definitely
does have some.
You see, Blueface is pretty lucky in that, at least to me, he has a voice that's naturally
got some character to it, but even that can't save him on a few tracks where he just sounds
so uninterested in rapping.
On these songs, he loses a decent chunk of what makes his voice stand out in the first
place, and it makes for his weakest tracks.
Luckily there aren't too many songs like this, and his delivery is improving pretty
quickly.
On his most recent songs like "Dm" and especially on "Bleed It", he's added
more raspiness and aggression to the way he raps, and that further adds to how attention
grabbing his vocals can be.
We also get to see him trying out a melodic style on Studio, and it unsurprisingly results
in one of the most commercial and catchiest hooks he's made, I'd be open to hearing
more stuff like that.
Overall, it's kind of hard to hate on Blueface's voice, with the only real issues being that
if you're tryna take him seriously, you're not gonna have a good time, and that he's
made his voice appear so interesting that if he releases a track that's a bit more
monotone, it instantly comes off as much more boring.
Other than that, his voice has a recognisable sound to it, he uses it in a pretty unique
way, and if he keeps being aggressive like on "Bleed It", he's only gonna keep
improving.
I'm gonna give Blueface a 6/10 here, there's still some decent room for improvement but
he knows exactly what he's doing with his over the top delivery and taking that into
consideration, it's hard for me not to love it.
Part 2: Flow
Where do I even start with this one?
I guess you could say Blueface and the beat have a.. pretty weird relationship.
If by some chance you couldn't pick it up in the other clips I played, lemme show you
another one.
You may have noticed something there.
The beat?
Well the beat is like, over here... and Blueface is about this far away from it.
Or maybe the beats far away from him, who knows how this man works his magic with this
weird, offbeat flow.
One of the strangest things to me is how Blueface can still make his songs catchy and memorable
whilst his flow is offbeat.
And I say that because if I think about the most memorable parts of the majority of songs,
it's always those parts that fit on to the beat and work with it incredibly well, for
example when certain rhymes line up perfectly with the kicks or the snare drums on a track.
These parts stand out because of the synchronization, and hence are easier to remember.
But Blueface?
Blueface is fighting against the beat, and yet he still has some hooks that will play
through your head all day.
He does hit a few of the right beats, then intentionally misses a lot of the right beats,
and maybe that unnatural style is what makes his songs stick with you, despite the fact
that there's a very loose structure to them.
Its almost like an even more free form version of E-40's flow.
There's still some kind of rhythm there that makes this flow work to a degree, and
he's so confident in being offbeat that it does work somewhat.
The thing is though, how long can this really last for?
The reason I'm saying that is because it comes off as such a novelty act, something
you listen to, laugh at, kind of start to vibe with a little bit, and then realise that
no matter what, rapping to the pattern of the beat will always sound infinitely better.
And it gets even more annoying when I think about how much more I enjoy his songs which
stick more to the confines of the instrumental.
Bleed It, Slidin and Bonco aren't fully matched to the beat, but they're pretty
close and it makes those songs way easier to listen to repeatedly.
I hope we see more stuff like that from Blueface going forward, because the offbeat stuff was
great for helping him blow up, but for me it's something that doesn't have real
staying power.
I'm gonna give Blueface a 5/10 for his flow.
I've got to give him points for being different to every other rapper I've covered in this
series so far with his flow, the way he somehow makes it work a bit and his self awareness
shows that he's deliberately rapping off beat and it's not just a case of incompetent
rapping, but the appeal of this flow is wearing off quickly and his on beat songs are actually
pretty solid.
Hopefully there's more of that moving forward.
Part 3: Lyrics
Can I even speak on the lyrics of such a godly rapper?
It's a tough task, and sometimes we have to look at these lyrical masterminds critically,
so let's do just that.
One of my favourite things about Blueface's lyrics is his funny one liners, a lot of them
are actually put together pretty nicely, such as the legendary "mop the floor, hide the
wet sign just to catch him slipping".
But that's not all.
We also have "I'm like a stripper with this pole, it don't take much to get it
poppin", "eat the ***** like some frosted flakes, I love a tiger body the ***** be great",
"her *** look like 2 midgets in a sleeping bag", "dozing off in this Benz cause I
can afford not to focus", "wok got me poured, but this TEC got him leaning", "but
I ain't trippin, these balenciagas ain't got no laces".
He also has some wordplay that lasts over a couple lines that's pretty cool such as
"Treat my b**** like a pistol, no such thing as keepers, These b****** throwaways, bust
once, then I throw away".
It's pretty refreshing to see a rapper incorporate wordplay in such a playful way in this series
to the point where it doesn't even have to be that amazing, because it's just so
entertaining when combined with his delivery and flow.
However, i know it's hard to believe, but sometimes Blueface actually has flaws in his
immaculate lyrics.
He hid the wet sign so far back, that occasionally he catches himself slipping.
You see, it starts to get a little less entertaining when these lines get recycled entirely or
reformatted into a very slightly different bar.
He does that with almost all of the ones I mentioned previously, and more, and this shows
that there is a limitation to Blueface's wordplay at the moment.
Like I said, the lines did have me smiling, but the second time I heard them in a different
song it made the recycled bar and the original bar lose a decent bit of their impact.
And if I'm being honest, there's not really all that much to his subject matter and every
song is essentially about the same thing.
Girls and guns, that sums it up nicely.
Overall I think I'll have to give Blueface's lyrics a 5/10.
Like I said, it's refreshing to cover someone in this series who has a good sense of wordplay
and puts a lot of it in his songs AND on top of that is pretty funny, but the fact that
he's recycled so many bars already is a bit worrying.
There's also the fact that, while his lyrics are entertaining for the most part, they're
not really about anything, and for me that does pull down his score a fair bit.
Still though, not that bad at all.
Part 4: Beats
Now surprise surprise, the beats are actually the worst part of Blueface's music for me...
hold up that's not even sarcastic, that actually is a surprise for once.
His voice is weird but captivating, same thing with his flow, and his lyrics are always fun,
but his beat selections are actually kinda hard to distinguish from each other for the
most part.
There's nothing wrong with having consistent production choices, but it becomes an issue
when you almost pick the exact same beat over and over and over again.
The formula is simple; usually high note pianos with a little bit of a horrorcore vibe, and
that's the main melody of 80% of his songs, maybe with a eerie synth line thrown over
a few of them.
I'm not even joking, that one sound is so prominent in his music.
Famous Cryp, Next Big Thing, Choose A Player, Dead Locs, F***** Em, Bonco, these beats might
as well be the same one.
I have a feeling these are just the beats he feels most comfortable over because even
his first songs sound like this, you just need to hear No Hook for proof of that, but
he really needs to step outside his comfort zone otherwise every track is gonna sound
like a slightly altered re-run.
I'm not saying these beats are bad necessarily, it's purely that I'm tired of hearing
him over these beats despite him not even having much music out right now.
That was my biggest issue with his Famous Cryp album, the production couldn't be more
one note throughout it and that does take away from the amusing feeling that every other
aspect of Blueface's material gives off.
It makes songs like Bleed It and Studio stand out much more, because they don't have that
formula.
And I really like the beats on both of those songs, with Studio having a more smooth tone
and the bass synth hits on Bleed It giving that track a nice bounce to it.
And honestly even then, he's used at least a couple beats that sound like Bleed It before,
but not to the point of it being too much yet.
Overall, there's not really any production that I think sounds overwhelmingly bad, at
its worst he just has a few beats that sound quite cheap, but other than that there's
no glaring issues with the actual sounds.
My main problem is that repetitiveness and his seeming reluctance to change his sound
all that much.
For that reason, I'm gonna give Blueface's beat selection a 4/10.
That score could definitely be increased if he didn't have full album that basically
sounded like one beat the whole way through, but hopefully we'll see him experiment more
in the future.
Part 5: Enjoyment
If there is one thing i can really say for Blueface, it's that I have never really
covered anyone like this in this series before.
Again, points for a different style have to be given.
Everything about his style is just ridiculous, and that's exactly what has made him so
popular.
You can't not notice him, whether you're laughing at him or with him.
I definitely think that if you try to take him seriously, you're gonna have a
very hard time enjoying his music, he even talks at the end of Dead Locs about how people
are eating up his offbeat rapping.
The main problems for me so far in terms of enjoyment are a) this style does lose its
impact quickly the more you get subjected to it, and then it just comes off as a guy
deliberately rapping poorly which kind of kills his replay value and b) somehow even
with this uniqueness he's managed to become a bit repetitive due to his beat choices and
subject matter.
Overall though, this experience was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be after seeing
all the memes surrounding Blueface's strange rapping.
He's got good foundations, his voice is pretty nice and there's something really
likeable about him, but I honestly just want a full, on beat project from him.
Maybe that would kill his buzz, maybe other people don't wanna hear that, but I personally
would love it, I think he could really kill something like that.
So overall, I'll give Blueface a 5/10 for enjoyment.
Something that is fun in the moment, but nothing that I'm gonna be scrambling to re-listen
to anytime soon.
Part 6: Verdict
So, as a whole, Mr Face scores a 25/50 here, which places him at the number 11 spot on
our list, perhaps a lot higher than you figured he'd get.
This places him above Smokepurpp, and below the best brown boy to ever do it, NAV.
I really hope that Blueface keeps improving, because his recent singles have been really
enjoyable and now that he's blown up after getting an initial push from memes, I think
he could really put something impressive out.
Not that bad at all.

The End of Tesla Cars - Duration: 5:11.
rev up your engines, Mark Twain says scotty what do you think about Elon Musk
firing 7% of Tesla's workforce, I said something about electric cars before and
I'll say it again, you know it may be the future, but I just read an article in a
Mechanics magazine that talks about all kinds of mechanical and also social
issues with cars, and they claim that their source said 7% of the cars the
United States will be electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles by the year 2030, okay
so we're talking a long time from now and it's still only gonna be 7% as
people found out with his model 3, it had a
lot of problems making them and starting to mass produce stuff, poor quality and he
claimed it was going to be a $35,000 car well they were really 45,000 up, and now
he wants to make them for $35k, well I think that firing 7% of your workforce,
what's that gonna do to quality and making more of them, just because he wants to
get the price down, it doesn't look like a good thing to me you know, because he's
got to think of one main thing and that's these electric vehicles, the
Chinese are starting to make them, hey they're gonna undercut his price, there's
no if, ands, or buts about that, and the thing about the Chinese factories are
their modern just like his, so a lot of other cars are all made by robots and
they can have good quality electric cars coming from China, and he's gonna be
competing with those guys so you know he's trying to cut his workforce in
order to make them cheaper, I don't think that's such a smart idea myself, wish and
he says Scotty what do you think about consumer report.com putting
audi, Mercedes and BMW above Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability and
quality, somebody must be getting paid off, it wouldn't surprised me, I mean I don't
know what goes on behind the scenes but to give you an idea, I go all over the
place meeting all kinds of people, and I've met
people that work for these magazines and Internet stuff that supposedly rate
things, well you know they don't get paid very much money for what they're doing, I
met a guy who worked for one of those consumer
magazines, and I said what did you get paid and he said I get $1,000 an article, I said
so if you do one a month that's $12,000 a year, that's not very much money,
he said no there's not much money in this so I really wouldn't believe half of the
stuff that those people do, they spent so much money marketing things, who's to say
what money goes where, I have no idea where it actually goes, or what
technicalities, like if they say reliability, what do they do a test of
the first five seconds of ownership or something, I mean who knows you could
slant anything you want, I wouldn't believe any that nonsense, listen to
people like me you know to talk about on cars, or your neighbors who owned a
Toyota or Honda, versus ones that have a Mercedes and it's always gone in the
shop, so be real about that stuff don't believe a lot of stuff you
see on the internet or read these days I'll tell you, it's getting to be kind of
ridiculous, fresh 55 and he says is a 2001 Jaguar x-type a good reliable car
148 thousand miles no, those things are endless money pits,
they're cool-looking cars yeah, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the way
they look they're beautiful cars, and when their
running they ride great, but they're also endless money pits, before
it was Jaguar, then Ford bought them, Ford was
losing so much money they sold them and now Tata that Indian company that makes
those you know whatever they are, they own them now, they're not good cars I
mean they look nice and everything they're not reliable and their money pits,
they'll just eat up your wallet as you drive down the road, that's why take a
look at the price of a new jag, then look at one when it's six or eight years old,
oh I mean if somebody pays 65 grand for a new one, when their five to six years old
they generally go for less than 20, when their
10 years old you pick them up all day long
for you know three, four, five thousand dollars, nobody wants them because they cost
too much money to maintain, Wynn says Scotty I'm in the market for a used
Toyota Tacoma pickup, but they're very expensive, the frontiers seem a lot
cheaper, are they good alternatives if so what years, pre 2000 when Renault took
over from Nissan those frontiers are decent pickup trucks,
their okay pickup trucks now, especially if
they have a standard transmission, but if they have an automatic
transmission and their post 2000 I wouldn't buy a frontier, their little bitty
pickup trucks, Toyota's hold the value too long, really
if you can't find a good Tacoma, look at the Ford Rangers, they're a four-cylinder
ones are pretty decent vehicles, nothing wrong with them, you could get a Ford
Ranger especially if it was a standard transmission used pickup, they're decent
use pickup truck I got a lot of customers with them and they're totally
happy with them, I'd take that instead, I'd do
that before I get a Nissan, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!

Jose Mourinho reveals he has already turned down THREE job offers - News Live - Duration: 2:33.
Jose Mourinho has revealed he has already turned down three job offers since his sacking as Manchester United manager.
The Portuguese coach was relieved of his duties at Old Trafford in December, following a limp 3-1 defeat to Liverpool .
Despite his time at United ultimately being deemed as a failure, the two-time Champions League winner is not short of offers.
When asked about his current situation on Bein Sports , Mourinho said: "First of all I'm happy with these three weeks [working as a pundit].
"I'm happy with this experience. I'm going to have other experiences that normally I cannot have.
"But I know me and I know that by the end of March I am struggling a little bit with my happiness.
"I know my nature."
Mourinho was sacked following a string of poor results which left United 19 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool.
It was the 55-year-olds third job in England, following two previous spells as manager at Chelsea .
When quizzed whether his next move would be in England or abroad, Mourinho said: "I don't know. It depends.
"I will analyse things. I don't like to speak about it, but I refuse already three options.
"Because I didn't feel it was what I want. So I'm going to be calm in this aspect.
"The more time I have the better I can prepare."
Mourinho even hinted at a return to the game soon, suggesting that a job in the coming months could be ideal.
He said: "I always say that my arrival at Inter was perfect.
"I left Chelsea by November/December, something like that.
"On the end of February I signed my contract with Inter.
"From February until June I was preparing myself for that job."
He went on to win a prestigious treble at the Italian club, and given the time frame, that could see him return to management as early as next month.
But Mourinho was keen to state it would not be a decision he will take lightly.
"The time that I have without a job in football I'm going to prepare myself for the next.
"But the next must be something that makes me really happy with the challenge."

How God Redeems Your Story w/ Guest Vanessa Harnas | Created for the Impossible | Season 1 | Ep. 25 - Duration: 28:31.
- Welcome to Created for the Impossible.
I'm your host Krissy Nelson
and I'm excited to be right here with you again
in my living room where I can remind you
that God sees you, he cares for you
and he has an amazing plan for your life
even if it seems impossible God says you can do it.
We have a wonderful show today.
I have a friend here with me, Vanessa Harnas,
she's pastor and she has a testimony
that's gonna just shake you to your core.
She gave up a child by having an abortion years ago
and she's gonna share how God redeemed her story
and renewed her life and made her brand new.
You don't want to miss it.
(light upbeat music)
Welcome back, I want to read this scripture.
Second Corinthians 5:17 says therefore
if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come,
the old has gone and the new is here.
How many of us find that hard to believe,
how can I become a new creation?
I know often times I'll think back to my past
or I'll reflect on things that I've done or said
or seen or even things that have been done to me
and it often begs the question,
how does God really redeem our past?
How can I truly live this life
on the other side of redemption,
on the other side of what I've done,
what I've said, what I've heard, what I've seen
and truly live as a brand new creation.
You know I think about people who maybe have wondered
if God can truly redeem your past
I want to say to you this show is for you.
If you can't seem to shed the worry or regret
over choices that you've made in your past
this show is for you today
and I'm excited to get going here.
All right you know something that really hits my heart
is the subject of stories.
Each one of us is carrying a story.
We're walking out our story, we're journeying it,
it's this life just keeps us on this forward motion
and yet often our past, what we've done,
like I said what we've heard, what we've experienced,
what we've encountered can cause us to get caught up
and sort of live in this life of regret
wondering you know how to move forward.
The Bible says that in him, in Ephesians 1:7,
in him we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins in accordance with riches
of God's grace that he lavished on us
with all wisdom and understanding.
God lavishes his love and his grace
and his redemption on us through the blood of Jesus
and that's where our story really begins
when we're born again we're born into this new family.
The Bible says not of human origin but of God.
Friend when you are born again
the old is truly gone
and the new has truly come,
but how does this happen?
I know so many who it's almost hard for them
to keep moving forward in their journey
because they've had hard lives.
They've had painful things that have happened,
I've had painful things that have happened to me
and I think about how can I truly live a life of freedom
and it's by embracing this truth that
Isaiah says this, Isaiah 43:25,
God is saying this I, even I am he who blots out
your transgressions for my own sake
and I remember your sins no more.
It's for his own sake that he blots out our sins
and so if we can't grab hold of why he would do it for us
friend let's think about why he does it for himself.
God created us, he created you and he created me
for fellowship and for family with him
and when we are away from God we're away from him, right,
and we can't draw near to him.
But when we are born again we become this new creation
where Ephesians says but now in Christ Jesus
you who were once far away have been brought near
by the blood of Christ.
This is for God's good pleasure
that he brings us near.
It is his great desire to wrap us in his arms
like Psalms 91 says that he hides us
under the shadow of his wing.
God is looking at you and he is saying
to you daughter, son,
accept, embrace the truth, the reality
that the blood of Jesus is enough for you,
the blood of Jesus is powerful,
the blood of Jesus truly washes us white as snow.
I think of that song what can wash away my sins,
nothing but the blood of Jesus
and it's as simple as coming to him
and being willing and not afraid
to actually look at the thing that scares us the most
and that is scary.
And that's what I want to address right now is this,
for those of you who you've gone through something painful
in your past, some kind of trauma,
some kind of decision or choice that you made
that you feel is unforgivable, unredeemable,
that totally has caused your story to shift
on a path that you never thought you'd be on
I want to encourage you right now
that the blood of Jesus is powerful enough for you,
even you, I hear it in my spirit right now.
You're saying even me, but you don't know.
God says to you even you,
the blood of Jesus is enough.
That blood shed on the cross of Calvary,
that great eternal covenant that was made
by father God for you his beloved
that your story can be washed
and your life can be made brand new
and now like Hebrews 4:16 says
we all can run and come boldly
before the throne of grace.
And I want to encourage you right now
to take whatever it is, that life, that pain, that trauma
and look at that right now,
God is with you and the Holy Spirit is with you.
He's stirring up a courage, a bravery
right now for you to do that hard thing
and to look at that thing
and take this now before the feet of Jesus
and lay it down.
Lay it down at his feet once and for all,
that choice you made, that trauma that came to you
that happened to you that you didn't ask for,
lay it down at his feet and say here you go Jesus,
here you go, I don't know how my life can ever be enough,
I don't understand how my life can be made brand new
and washed clean, I don't get all of this right now
but I want to, I want to
and lay it down at his feet.
And I just speak over you right now
as you do this brave thing.
Holy Spirit go into the homes, go into the hearts
and release the sons and the daughters
from the pain and the shame and the guilt
right now in the name of Jesus
by the power of the blood of Jesus
shed for them that they are indeed made brand new.
And just repeat this prayer, Jesus
I love you,
I acknowledge your sacrifice on the cross
and once and for all I give you
this hurt, this pain, this shame, this guilt
and I receive your love and your mercy
and your redemption in Jesus' name.
(sighing)
Friend I just feel the peace of God over you right now.
It's still a journey.
Yes this is a journey.
We have more that we're gonna share.
I have a friend that's here with me today, Vanessa Harnas,
and she is gonna share her story
of how God delivered her from her shame
and her guilt of having an abortion
when she was 18 years old,
just the legal age to do that
and how she is now walking out a life of freedom
and victory and actually able to share her testimony
without feeling pain or shame or guilt any longer.
She's got that for you and we've got an exciting
rest of the show so stick around we'll be right back.
Has God been stirring in your heart?
Is there something that's he saying to you
that you'd love to just share?
What is he doing in your life?
What is he saying to you?
We want to hear from you.
The vision for this show is to come alongside you,
journey with you and make sure you know
that you are not alone.
Do you have a prayer need?
That's one of those big things
and we would love to pray with you.
Email us at prayer@createdfortheimpossible..
- [Announcer] Maybe you've heard it a million times,
God has an amazing plan for you.
Jesus himself said that nothing would be impossible
if you believe, but for so many of us
this has not been our experience.
Why, because there is a major hindrance
that keeps us from believing God's promises
and actually walking in the miraculous power
that God has made available.
That hindrance is the thoughts we agree with.
Through this book you will learn how to
identify thoughts of fear, unbelief and shame
and shut down the attacks of the enemy,
exchange wrong thoughts for what God says about you
and you will also learn how to let his promises
supernaturally adjust your thinking.
Watch as your beliefs about God, your identity
and your calling begin to agree
with what God says about you.
Remember you are created for the impossible too.
- Welcome back, we're here talking today
about how God redeems our story,
how he takes even the ugliest things of our past,
the most horrific, the traumatic events of our life
and he takes those from us, upon himself
and then washes us white as snow
making us a brand new creation in Christ Jesus.
It's a beautiful thing and I know
before we went on the break
you were laying what hurts you most before Jesus
and I want you to know that this is a safe place,
that God has healing for you today.
And I'm excited to introduce my friend Vanessa Harnas,
so Vanessa we're gonna high five.
- Okay.
- This is what we do now, 25 episodes in we're high fiving.
(laughing)
- That's awesome.
- I'm glad you're here today
and I'm glad that you're gonna share your story with us.
- Yes.
- [Krissy] But tell us a little bit about yourself first.
- Well me and my past, me and my husband are pastors
at Freedom Church, we're over the youth
and we just love the youth.
We're really used to high fives.
(laughing)
But we just have a passion to see
young people understand who they are in Christ
and really have that as a firm foundation
so that they can go out into the world
and do the things that they were created to do,
the impossible things.
So knowing who they are in Christ
and walking in that freedom
in that power of the Holy Spirit.
Just a passion of ours and we are just surrounded
by amazing people at Freedom Church
and just surrounded by amazing, godly, uplifting
life giving friends so we are just,
we love where we're at.
- Yeah, I love it and you're surrounded in your home
with how many kids do you guys have?
- We have four.
- Four amazing, beautiful little children.
- Yes.
- Yep, and so you know I know your story
of how you and Sean met.
I mean I'll have to have both of you on sometimes as well.
It's so rich and there's such a well within you,
but tell us a little bit about
your story, your journey, your testimony
of having an abortion when you were 18 years old.
- Yeah you know when I look back
I just don't ever remember a time in my life
where I didn't know God.
I grew up in a Christian home.
My dad was a pastor in upstate New York
and we were just one of the very few
Spirit filled churches there
so when I started going to school
in the third grade going to public school
I automatically felt just different you know
just the enemy planted a seed of
wanting to know what people thought of me,
really caring what people thought of me.
And so over the next few years of my life
going in to middle school and high school
that just really consumed my thoughts,
what people thought of me and caring so much.
And so I really got in with the wrong crowd
so to say and got into the partying scene
with drugs and alcohol and
just not knowing really who I was you know
and on into college
I met a guy
and he was an atheist.
You know I was not living for the Lord,
but trying to pretend I was and
a month after dating we found out that I was pregnant.
I had disconnected from all my believing friends,
from the church, really from my family
just caring so much about what these people
in the world thought of me,
being called church girl
I wanted to prove I wasn't you know in a way.
And when this happened I was surrounded by people
that just told me to think about me.
Think about my future, think about
you know I was in college at the time,
think about your education, what's right
and so we were really searching for answers.
Deep down within myself I knew what I should do,
but being surrounded just by people that told me
to think about me and think about my life
we decided to have the abortion.
You know I had what's called a medical abortion
and it makes up a third of all the abortions in the US
and I feel like you don't hear about that much.
And you know going to the doctor's office
and you take a pill and then they tell you to go home
and rest and everything will be fine,
it'll be quick and it might have some discomfort to it,
but no one prepares you for the emotional trauma
that it has in your heart
and how it affects your whole life.
It is not a simple quick fix.
And so I took the pill in the doctor's office
and then went home by myself
in bed alone and take the other pill.
And so for two days it was the deepest,
darkest place I'd ever been in my life,
just darkness consumed me and
it was like I was hiding from God you know.
Like if I could just cover up what was happening,
if I could pretend like it wasn't a big deal
like everyone was telling me, it's not a big deal.
- Right.
- It's nothing, it's not a baby you know.
And if I could just hide and I just found myself
hiding and going inward and just
feeling that shame and that guilt
like just sweep over me and going numb really,
just going numb and trying not to feel
the weight of what I was doing,
the weight of my actions.
- What was some of the thoughts going through your mind
and racing through your spirit in those days?
- I know in those two days I did come to a point
where you know all my friends they were partying
and they had left and so I was left alone
and just in a moment thinking what have I done,
but the fear of what I had done
caused me to not think about it
and to deny it and to just keep going numb
and feel like no one understood.
No one will ever understand
and I don't know if I ever want to tell anyone
you know, just feeling that shame and that guilt.
- And the very people that encouraged you to do that.
- Right.
- Where were they?
- Right.
- In those moments.
I know that you know this is a topic
that is real, you know.
- [Vanessa] Yeah.
- I think you've said one in four women
will have an abortion, right?
- [Vanessa] Yeah.
- So there's bound to be somebody that's watching
right now who's had an abortion.
- [Vanessa] Right.
- Would you look there and just talk to them
and just even pray over them.
What would you say to someone who's had an abortion?
- That has had one, you know you're not alone.
I know how that feels.
I know the shame that tries to grip you,
but you do not have to live with that.
Like Krissy said Jesus died so you could be free from that
so that you can live a life,
it is truly possible for God to heal those wounds,
to heal the pain that you're feeling
even right now as we talk about that.
The shame, the denial, whatever it is
God is enough and he's big enough to take it.
And he wants to.
His love for you has never changed any moment of your life,
when you were in your deepest, darkest moment
he loved you all the same.
So know there is hope
and that God can redeem you,
that you have a redeeming story
that can also help others.
- Yeah, amen.
Vanessa's gonna talk more to you
about how God will redeem your story
and give you keys to freedom today my friends
so stick around, we'll be right back.
Sometimes we just need that reminder
who God says we are and what he thinks we can do.
And I love putting that on a shirt and wearing that
and telling myself and the world
that I'm created for the impossible,
that nothing's impossible for those who believe.
And I love to start my day out drinking coffee,
hot coffee right out of my mug,
getting that Jesus perspective for my day
that God thinks I can do anything
and I'm created for the impossible.

- Welcome back we are, this is a powerful episode
of Created for the Impossible.
Today I'm with my friend Vanessa Harnas
who's a pastor and she's telling us her story
about how God has redeemed her story
of having an abortion and being able to walk through that.
And she's just shared with us what occurred
and now we're gonna talk a little bit more
about how God brought her and lead her into healing.
So Vanessa I'm so thankful really even for your bravery.
It's so brave to get up and share,
but I know you have a whole testimony
behind how you're able to share your testimony
which is powerful.
During the break we were talking about people who
might be thinking about having an abortion
and I know you had something on your heart for them.
- Yeah, yeah, if you're in that place
where you are pregnant and you are contemplating
or maybe someone's telling you to get an abortion
or you just don't know I want to tell you
what no one told me is choose life.
You can live a life for yourself
and it can be great and for this baby.
Just choose life.
There is hope in that.
Where you are weak God is strong
and he can give you the strength to do it
so be encouraged.
- Yeah, amen, yep I know that was for somebody today.
- [Vanessa] Yeah.
- And maybe for a lot of somebodys so you know
God was very specific in how he lead you into healing.
What are some of the things that you did
with the Lord that led you to healing?
- Yeah you know for me the first thing
that I had to do was really admit it.
For so many years I wanted, you know I was in that pit,
I was in the darkness and I wanted to hide,
but the Lord he's so good and he exposes things
and he does it to heal us
and so I came to a place where actually my husband
he had been the one that had told our pastor
and I was mortified like no,
our friends, our pastor can't know the truth,
but he welcomed us with open arms
and encouraged us to healing
and wanted to see just life brought into that,
God turning it around for good.
And so for me I really just had to get to a place
where I admitted it, I you know accepted it
and yeah it actually happened.
- Then you allow the Lord to heal you in that.
- [Vanessa] Yeah.
- And then all of a sudden when we admit the thing
we're scared of the most to admit
it takes us out of hiding and into the light, right,
and so you know it's beautiful even just that you
you know you got married you know.
You went through that and then you got out of that,
journeyed through and it was a series of events
of friends right and there was a book that you read.
Tell us a few of the things
that sort of were benchmark moments in your story
that helped bring about your healing.
- Yeah, and you know the guy that I got pregnant with,
the atheist is my husband now
and God totally met him where he was
and he has an amazing testimony
and to see that God took both of us,
redeemed both of our stories and gave us a marriage
and a fruitful marriage and a beautiful one
so that alone is a testimony, but
yeah you know it was realizing that I'm not alone.
I was reading books and I was also,
I listened to a speaker that I just thought
no one understood and she had given her testimony that day
at a conference that she had had an abortion
and that instantly made me feel like I was not alone.
And I just had a group of people that
I was surrounded with that loved the Lord,
that wanted to see me healed and whole,
that wanted, they didn't just want
to see me healed and whole,
they helped me walk through it.
I had two friends that are still some of my best friends
and they pastor with us
and they walked me through this restoring relationships
program, me and my husband,
and you know met with us weekly
and like cried with us and prayed with us
and interceded for our healing
and really were invested in it.
And my other friend who,
she had had an abortion and someone had given her
a book, a workbook that you read,
and she said I want to sit down with you
every week until we're done and just walk through this
and as hard as that was I wanted it so bad,
I wanted the healing and so I sat down with her
and we both got to receive healing together.
Like she had gone through it but it's a process
and I just had people invested in my healing
and that really just was a game changer for me.
- Yeah, yeah and I just feel it right now too
if this is for you find someone.
I hear that blaring in my spirit,
find someone, there is someone, you are not alone.
- [Vanessa] Yes.
- A pastor, somebody that you can talk to.
And you can email us, we've got our contact info as well
and we'll pray with you too,
but do not let yourself go into hiding, you're not alone.
You know the message of redemption is something
that's so powerful in your spirit.
What are some of the key things
in redemption that you like to tell people?
- Oh, God he is just,
he's so much bigger than our issues.
You know like just for me and
being in that dark place, even walking through healing
the lies want to come that you know
because of my past I can never be this
or because of my past I could never be a pastor,
because of my past I could never be an author.
You know like whatever the lie is
like just know that God speaks truth to you,
he speaks truth over your life, over your story
that he can take, you know when I was meeting
with my friends it got said in this way
of a mosaic like he takes all of our shattered pieces
that we look at as broken and ugly
and he picks them up and he puts them all together
and he makes this beautiful mosaic
where light can shine through it and it's beautiful
and he really does turn it all around for good
and not just our good, it's like it's so good
because he allows us to receive healing
and freedom and help us walk in that
so that we can give away the freedom.
- [Krissy] Yes.
- [Vanessa] So that we can let our lives be transformed
so that others' lives can be transformed
and changed and full of life and purpose
so that God can just speak through us,
to us, with us.
- [Krissy] Yeah.
- [Vanessa] He's so good.
- And I just hear this phrase letting go
and I feel that's what people are needing to do.
Let go of the pain, let go of the shame.
We don't have to carry it anymore.
- Yes.
- Will you declare that and decree that
over those watching?
- Yes, I thank you right now that all shame
has to go in Jesus' name.
You were not created to live in shame.
You were not created to live in disappointment
over yourself, over your life or your past
and I declare freedom and life over you
in Jesus' name.
- [Krissy] Yes, amen.
- Yes.
- Vanessa I am so thankful for you.
I know there's such a well inside you
and we'll definitely have to have you back again
to share more about even how to get to a place
of being able to share your testimony.
- [Vanessa] Yes.
- How do we do that with joy and peace.
So that's like a teaser for the next time you're on.

High Apple Cake / Torta di Mele - Duration: 7:57.
Hy everyone and welcome back to my channel!
No need to wait for fall to bake an apple cake!
In today's video I'm gonna share with you my Cinnamon Apple Cake.
A delicious apple filling, made with fresh apples, almond flour and spiced with cinnamon
between two layers of buttery shortcrust pastry.The perfect recipe for an easy apple cake that
looks great and tastes even better.
so, lets see the ingredients we need: For the shortcrust pastry:
butter, room temperature; powdered sugar,
eggs, all-purpose flour, sifted;
vanilla powder, a pinch of salt
For the apple filling: medium sized apples
Choose apples that are firm so they hold their shape after baking.
we also need: powdered sugar; if using tart apples, add slightly
more sugar.
then we need, lemon juice,
almond flour, cinnamon powder
Wrap the bottom of a cake ring with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent leakage.
Set aside.
To make the filling combine powdered sugar, almond flour and cinnamon, in a small bowl.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
Place sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture and gently toss with your hands to coat the slices evenly.
Set aside.
Now let's prepare the shortcrust pastry.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream butter, powdered sugar,
and vanilla, starting on low speed then increasing to high, until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
When necessary, stop the mixer to scrape down sides of the bowl.
Reduce mixer speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time, and the salt, mixing after
each addition to combine.
Once the eggs are incorporated, remove the bowl from the mixer, then, in a few additions,
gently fold in sifted flour, until just incorporated.
Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
Starting from the centre pipe a spiral over the base of the pastry
ring to cover the bottom completely.
Arrange apple slices on top and continue layering until all apple slices are used.
To finish, pipe the last spiral of shortcrust on top of the cake.
Feel free to sprinkle some granulated sugar on top, will give a sweet crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until golden brown, then let the cake cool
to room temperature before removing the cake ring.
This Apple cake is a true delight, so moist and flavorful and perfect to enjoy with a
steamy cup of tea or coffee, at any time of day, especially if you're an apple lover!
Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video, please leave a '' like '', and

Queen Royal - Prince Philip spoken to by police after Duke pictured behind wheel 48 hours after cra - Duration: 2:32.
Images published on Saturday showed the Duke of Edinburgh wearing dark glasses and no seatbelt while back behind the wheel of a few car delivered in the aftermath of the crash two days ago
He was photographed near the Queen's Sandringham estate. A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said the force was aware of the photographs and that "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver
""This is in line with our standard response when being made aware of such images showing this type of offence
" Buckingham Palace did not immediately comment on the images. The 97-year-old reportedly said "I'm such a fool" after being pulled from his wrecked Land Rover on Thursday after it flipped on its side following the collision with a Kia close to Sandringham
The two women inside the Kia were hurt in the collision but the nine-month-old baby boy was unharmed
The duke passed a police eyesight test on Saturday, a source confirmed. Prince Philip was not injured in the crash, but went to a nearby hospital for a precautionary check-up on Friday
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "On Doctor's advice, The Duke of Edinburgh visited the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn (eastern England) this morning for a precautionary check-up
"This confirmed His Royal Highness had no injuries of concern." Horrified witnesses told how the Duke of Edinburgh was "very, very shocked and shaken" after the collision
Witness Roy Warn told how he rushed to the crash scene to help the drivers. He said: "I rushed to the other car first - there was smoke coming out as if it may explode
"There was a baby in the back seat screaming. "Once myself and another chap had managed to pull the baby out, I went to the overturned car
