Waching daily Jul 20 2018

Ohhh Say can you see. By the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hailed..... hahah

We are an American family of 7 living, working and loving Brazil.

Welcome to the adventures of Our Brazilian Life.

Hi Molly, Hi Chani, Happy Independence day. Thank you!

Wonderful to see you and your family. (Chani) Thank you!

These are awesome!

haha I love those!

Today we are celebrating the American

Independence Day or the 4th of July in Brazil. The American Society

International group organizes this event every year. It's a great time for

Americans living in Salvador to get together, celebrate and have a taste of

home. We watched the sunset over the beautiful Porto de Barra beach

and had a great time.

Check this out! This is straight up American food. We got baked beans,

Hamburgers and potato salad.

How it is? (Amy) Yum It tastes like baked beans from Kansas City.

How's that Corndog and Hamburger T? Good.

Alright let's try this potato salad and see if it's really American.

Ooh there are pickles in here. This is real American potato salad. This is legit mmm that's good. You wanna a bite?

How's it going? We're enjoying life. Who are these white people right here? Yo my

name is Amy and I come from Kansas City haha. And who's that red boy down there? Not me?

Brazil! Sunset!

Hello! I am here with Molly from the American Society International. She's the

president. Molly tell us a little bit about what the American Society

International is. The American Society International was founded in 1954 by

Americans who came here as a social and service group. Our principal

activities are to celebrate our two American holidays fourth of July and

Thanksgiving as well as provide service. We support two charities and serve as a

bridge of friendship between American foreigners and our Brazilian hosts.

Molly has lived here for how long? it's now been 31 years. 31 years

in Salvador? In Salvador the whole time. What is your favorite thing about Brazil?

There is no other answer than the people who are hospitable and cordial.

What I like about Brazil is really the Brazilian people

I think that Brazil is a marvelous place to raise children because there is a

tradition of warmth, the importance of family which is large.

The children who are born in Brazil have an affection for their parents, which is wonderful.

The 4th of July is the day in which the United States declared independence. During that time, the

United States constituted 13 colonies and therefore began a time

when the United States was fighting to achieve independence from England.

OpenAI's Gaming AI Contest: Results | Two Minute Papers #265 - Duration: 3:25.

Dear Fellow Scholars, this is Two Minute Papers with Károly Zsolnai-Fehér.

This is a contest by OpenAI where a bunch of AIs compete to decide who has the best

transfer learning capabilities.

Transfer learning means that the training and the testing environments differ significantly,

therefore only the AIs that learn general concepts prevail, and the ones that try to

get by with memorizing things will quickly fall.

In this experiment, these programs start playing Sonic the Hedgehog, and are given a bunch

of levels to train on.

However, like in a good test at school, the levels for the final evaluation are kept secret!

So, the goal is that only high-quality general algorithms prevail and we can't cheat through

the program as we don't know what the final exam will entail.

We only know that we have to make the most of the training materials to pass.

Sonic is a legendary platform game where we have to blaze through levels by avoiding obstacles

and traps often while traveling with the speed of sound.

Here you can see the winning submission taking the exam on a previously unseen level.

After one minute of training, as expected, the AI started to explore the controls, but

is still quite inept and does not make any meaningful progress on the level.

After 30 minutes, things look significantly better as the AI now understands the basics

of the game.

And look here, almost got up there, and, got it.

It is clearly making progress as it collects some coins, defeats enemies, goes through

the loop, and gets stuck seemingly because it doesn't yet know how being under water

changes how high it can jump.

This is quite a bit of a special case, so, we are getting there.

After only 60-120 minutes, it became a competent player and was able to finish this challenging

map with only a few mistakes.

Really impressive transfer learning in just about an hour.

And note that the algorithm has never seen this level before.

Here you see a really cool visualization of three different AI's progress on the map,

where the red dots indicate the movement of the character for earlier episodes, and the

bluer colors show the progress at later stages of the training.

I could spend all day staring at these.

Videos are available for many many submissions, some of which even opened up their source

code and there are a few high-quality write-ups as well, so make sure to have a look!

There's gonna be lots of fun to be had there.

This competition gives us something that is scientifically interesting, practical, and

super fun at the same time.

What more could you possibly want?

Huge thumbs up for the OpenAI team for organizing this, and of course, congratulations to the

participants.

And now you see that we have a job where we train computers to play video games, and we

are even paid for it.

What a time to be alive.

By the way, if you wish to unleash the inner scholar in you, Two Minute Papers shirts are

available in many sizes and colors.

We have mugs too!

The links are available in the video description.

Thanks for watching and for your generous support, and I'll see you next time!

Drake's 'In My Feelings' Challenge Has Gotten Completely Out of Hand - Duration: 2:04.

America's youth used to love snacking on Tide Pods.

Now, they've moved onto a hot, equally lethal trend:

jumping out of cars to please Drake.

The #InMyFeelings trend, otherwise known as, "DoTheShiggy" or "KekeChallenge,"

started when comedian Shiggy filmed himself dancing to the infamous Drake track.

Then Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants player, filmed himself performing the exact same

dance right outside his car.

And thus, on that night a meme was born.

Now, teens all across the country are imitating the dance --

and some have even taken to jumping out of cars themselves.

Obviously, teens have been injured and clearly, this was a terrible idea.

Here are the best -- and dumbest -- memes.

Starting off, we have a meme classic. This is Shiggy's original dance.

Now we've got Odell Beckham Jr., who carefully stepped out of his car to do the dance.

This is what a meme looks like when it's done right

When it's done very wrong

This is what a meme looks like when -- come on, kids you gotta stop.

This breaks my heart

I can't possibly explain what this is, please, use your own words

There is a lesson to us all: No amount of viral fame is worth getting run over by a car.

Thanks for watching!

Let us know in the comments which memes you like best.

We'll be back next week with All the Memes!

Robo Advisors: Investor Friend or Foe? - Duration: 9:12.

If I'm going to talk about robo advisors, I need to start by clearing something up.

These firms do not employ robots.

They do not use artificial intelligence or machine learning to build your portfolio

or to give you advice.

Robo advisors are simply pared down wealth management firms that allow you to easily

open an investment account and choose an appropriate portfolio online without speaking to a human.

While they may not be employing super-intelligent robots, these firms are using technology extremely

well to reduce the amount of human contact that their customers need.

Leveraging technology to reduce the need for humans allows robo advisors to keep their

fees low, compared to traditional mutual funds and fee-based financial advice firms.

So far this sounds pretty good: Ease of use and low fees due to great technology.

And it is pretty good, but, as always, it is important to look past the flashy marketing

and consider some important factors.

I'm Ben Felix, Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital.

In this episode of Common Sense Investing, I'm going to tell you about robo-advisors.

Canadian investors are starting to understand that high fees and commissioned mutual fund

salespeople are not good for their financial health.

Investors seeking low-cost index fund portfolios have an increasing amount of choice in Canada.

Through The Canadian Couch Potato blog, my PWL Capital colleague Dan Bortolotti, popularized

the idea that you could manage your own investments using ETFs or index mutual funds.

For investors with more complicated situations, there are full-service wealth management firms

using low-cost index funds, like PWL Capital.

Robo advisors fall somewhere in between these two options.

Many people do value a relationship with a professional wealth manager.

This may be due to the complexity of their situation, the magnitude of their assets,

or their general level of comfort with financial markets.

In any case, those people tend to be comfortable paying the fee associated with a full service

wealth management firm.

Despite their lower fees, I do not believe that robo advisors are an attractive alternative

for these people.

For anyone with a simple situation, the choice between the DIY route and using a robo advisor

takes some consideration.

We are really weighing the cost against the value of the fee that robo advisors charge, so let's

think about exactly what value they are providing.

There are a lot of different robo advisors in Canada with slightly different fees and

service offerings, so to keep things simple in this video, I am going to use Wealthsimple as my example.

They are the largest and probably best-known robo advisor in Canada.

They charge zero point five percent of invested assets on the first $99,999, and zero point four

percent of assets on everything over $100,000.

Before I continue, I do want to clarify that I am in no way affiliated with Wealthsimple.

Wealthsimple implements and rebalances your portfolio for you.

This is one of the biggest hurdles for many investors.

As simple as buying ETFs or Index Mutal Funds can be, Wealthsimple makes it even easier.

Keep in mind that waiting for a year or more to start your DIY portfolio because you got busy is

likely to cost you, on average, far more than Wealthsimple's fee.

If you can't take action yourself, then there is definitely value in the ease of use that Wealthsimple

has created.

I believe that a good amount of this value was eroded when Vanguard recently came out

with their one-fund solution ETFs in Canada.

Buying a single self-rebalancing ETF is potentially less intimidating than needing

to buy three or more ETFs to build a well-diversified portfolio.

To make is even easier, my PWL Capital colleague Justin Bender has made YouTube videos that walk you through

the steps of purchasing an ETF.

Wealthsimple tracks your adjusted cost base in your taxable accounts.

This is a somewhat tedious task that DIY investors have to deal with.

My PWL colleague Justin Bender has written a guide on how DIY investors can track

their adjusted cost base.

It is not rocket science, but it is a thing that DIY ETF investors have to do.

If you only have RRSP and TFSA accounts then there is no value here.

If you have taxable accounts then yea, there's some value there.

Wealthsimple harvests your tax losses.

This is only available to Wealthsimple Black customers who are required to have over $100,000

invested.

Tax loss harvesting is maybe a good thing for people in certain situations.

It only matters if you have a taxable investment account.

Maybe there is some value here, depending on your situation, but a DIY investor could

easily harvest their own tax losses.

Wealthsimple Black customers do also get a complimentary Priority Pass membership which

lets you into airport lounges.

That's kind of neat I guess, but it's also kind of a gimmick.

I don't see any real value there.

Wealthsimple invests your monthly contributions for you.

This is very convenient.

ETFs have to be purchased like a stock, making it a bit of a hassle for a DIY ETF investor to

set up a regular monthly contributions.

They would have to log into their brokerage account monthly to buy more ETF units.

There is definitely a bit of value here, but if this was the main reason to choose Wealthsimple

then something like the TD e-Series mutual funds are a slightly less expensive alternative

that offers the same convenience.

Finally, the one thing that Wealthsimple provides that I believe could be truly valuable

is access to financial advice.

Basic advice is available to all customers.

You can speak to a Wealthsimple advisor by phone or by email.

As far as I can tell they are fairly accessible and responsive.

You do not get a relationship with one dedicated advisor.

Wealthsimple Black customers get access to financial planning sessions.

Great, advice is accessible by phone and email.

Of course the question that follows, of course, is what is the quality of the advice.

I am in no position to comment on the quality of advice that Wealthsimple provides.

I have no direct experience with them as a customer.

What I do know is that they announced in March 2018 that they had reached sixty-five thousand

customers. And as of June 25, 2018

the Canadian Securities Administrators National Registration search shows that there are ten

people employed by Wealthsimple who are licensed to give investment advice.

That is over sixty five hundred clients per licensed advisor.

If their advisors worked forty hours per week and took no vacations, they could spend about

19 minutes thinking about each customer, if they spent all of their time thinking about

their customers.

This is not necessarily a bad thing - it's a byproduct of their low-cost business model,

but it should be considered when comparing Wealthsimple to a DIY approach.

As valuable as investment advice is, I would not choose Wealthsimple for the advice

alone.

Speaking of financial advice, one thing that I have noticed in talking to Wealthsimple

customers is that Wealthsimple's automated portfolio recommendations tend to be on the

conservative side.

Wealthsimple customers who know little about investing are answering a handful of questions

and being placed into a portfolio by a computer program.

It makes sense that the program would tend to be more conservative than aggressive to

protect both the customer and Wealthsimple.

I'm not saying that everyone should invest in a 100 percent equity portfolio,

but in my experience, a simple conversation about risk often

leads to a higher risk tolerance.

Asset allocation is one of the most important drivers of returns.

If robo advisors' algorithms tend to place investors in more conservative portfolios,

there could be a substantial implicit cost to their customers.

I don't want to come across as being negative toward robo advisors in general, or Wealthsimple

specifically.

I think that robo advisors are an excellent alternative to expensive actively managed mutual funds,

but it is important to weigh the costs against the DIY approach.

Regarding Wealthsimple, I would not say that they are providing so much value for their

fee that it is obvious that everyone should invest with them, but I think that they are

a great option for people with simple situations who do not need in-depth advice, want to be

completely hands-off, and don't mind paying a fee.

On the other hand, with great resources online like The Canadian Couch Potato blog and Justin

Bender's DIY Investing YouTube videos, I do not think that DIY investing is out of

reach for anyone.

This especially true since Vanguard's new all-in-one ETF portfolios came on the market.

What do you think?

Wealthsimple or DIY?

Tell me why in the comments.

Shark Week: 8 Strangest Shark Species in the World 2018 -Animal Facts - Duration: 8:02.

You're Watching Animal Facts

Sharks and Humans are so far separated by evolution that all sharks appear a bit strange

and scary to us.

But, some sharks just take weirdness to an almost alien level.

Let's check out some of these Strange denizens of the deep.

Let's get started, but before we start, make sure to hit that subscribe button and

click the bell icon to become part of our notification squad.

8.

Goblin Shark

You can't have a list of strange animals without the Goblin Shark.

This ancient shark (even by shark standards) is often called a living fossil and the last

living representative of a family of sharks some 125 million years old.

This pink-skinned shark has a distinctive profile with an elongated, flattened snout,

resembling a sword blade, and highly protrusible jaws containing prominent nail-like teeth.

Seeing this shark extend its jaws is a thing of nightmares, but never fear, this is a deep

water shark and is rarely seen by humans.

7.

Cookie Cutter Shark

The cookie cutter shark got that name from its habit of biting chunks of flesh from its

prey by wrenching its body around in a circular motion after sinking its teeth into a fish

too big to eat whole.

Yeah, Ouch!

The cookie cutter shark reaches only around twenty inches in length but has been known

to bite into whales, submarines, and even people.

It also has a small bio-luminescent patch that fools other creatures into thinking it

is a much smaller fish than it really is while the rest of the cookie cutter shark waits

in the dark.

6.

Frilled Shark

The frilled shark comes very close to our image of a sea serpent from ancient mythology.

These sharks are not particularly large at about six feet long with a slender body, but

they are very flexible and can move in a rather umm "un-sharklike" and creepy manner.

When the shark flares its neck frill, it can look quite menacing.

But, Frilled Sharks are rarely seen by humans as they prefer to hunt in deep ocean depths.

5.

Thresher Shark

The Thresher Shark is like most any other shark, except for one notable difference;

the shark's long upper tail fin may account for half the shark's total length, kinda

like your pet betta fish on steroids.

The thresher shark eats small fish, and will sometimes tap the water with its tail to herd

schools of fish into tight spots, making them easier to eat.

The Thresher shark can also use its tail to stun its prey with a good smack.

Threshers are usually 10-15 feet long, and can grow up to 20 feet long - but remember,

about half of that length is tail fin.

4.

Megamouth Shark

Going from a big tail to the other end, we have the Megamouth Shark and we can think

of any shark with a more precisely descriptive name.

The Megamouth was first discovered in 1976.

It is a filter feeder with very small teeth but swims with its huge mouth open to scoop

up jellyfish and plankton.

The megamouth shark is a rare creature and is rarely seen.

There have been only 41 confirmed sightings.

So, even with its big mouth, there is very little chance that you'll end up

in it.

3.

Hammerhead Sharks

There are eight or nine different species of hammerhead sharks, named for their unusual

shape.

The reason behind the peculiar shape of the shark's head has been debated for many years.

Some scientists speculate that the distance between the shark's eye gave it some kind

of advantage.

And, recent research confirms this.

Hammerhead sharks can see a range of 360 degrees vertically.

They can also easily see behind them with a slight turn of the head, and most importantly,

their two eyes have a huge overlap of field compared to other sharks, indicating they

have excellent binocular vision.

This means Hammerhead sharks are able to judge distances well by sight alone.

Hammerheads also differ from other sharks in that they tend to swim in schools and they

can even develop a tan when exposed to sunlight.

Get your tan on Mr. Shark.

2.

Basking Shark

The basking shark is the second-largest of all living shark species, with only the whale

shark growing larger.

Yes, it's bigger than the Great White.

Basking Sharks normally grow to 20-26 feet long, with the biggest confirmed specimen

measuring over 40 feet long!

They have mouths up to three feet wide, which they hold open while swimming.

That's because they are filter feeders that scoop up plankton, crustaceans, and small

fish as they swim.

Before we get to number one, there are two sharks that didn't make this list, simply

because they are extinct, and have been for quite some time.

The first is the Megalodon, which as far as we know is the largest shark to ever swim

the oceans at up to 60 feet in length.

This shark's name translates to "big tooth" which is quite appropriate for a shark who's

bite force exceeded that of the T.Rex and ate whales.

The Megalodon went extinct approximately one million years ago.

The second is Whorl shark, which would have certainly made the list of weirdest sharks

if it hadn't gone extinct around 225 million years ago.

It was a truly strange fish and we know little about it.

But, yeah, just look at it.

On to number 1.

1.

Sawshark

There are seven known species of Sawsharks that have long snouts with teeth.

They swim along the floor of the ocean and use their snouts exactly as you would imagine:

they give their prey a good smack to disable them.

Sawsharks eat squid, crustaceans, and small fish.

And, they look much more dangerous than they actually are.

[TALKS] 5 Things a Pro Korean Fighting Game player needs - Duration: 38:42.

Ok

5 things, I'm going to talk about 5 things

I'm going to talk about 5 things a pro fighting game player needs

Just to be clear, this is my perspective as a Pro Street Fighter player

There are many non-Street Fighter pro players like Knee and JDCR for Tekken

But you can watch this video as more of a Street Fighter pro player tips

First thing a pro fighting game player needs

is making results

What do I mean by making results?

There are many results you can make as a player like champion, 2nd place, Top 8 and etc.

While there are many different standards for different players, viewers and sponsors.

For me, the bare minimum is making Top 8

When you considered Capcom Pro Tour, where players from all over the world participate to be the top

including all the events like Premier, Ranking, EVO and even Capcom Cup

I think it is necessary for a Korean top player to consistently make Top 8 in these events.

Of course the higher you place, the better

This is the most essential thing for a pro player

to be frank, I think it is a given and I don't even really need to make a specific bullet point to talk about it

For example

No matter what players name you mention

It's only their result that shine and later on their personality give them bonus point

Even if a player is so kind and peaceful like "Gandhi"

He is so kind to everyone but he always drown in pool

then it doesn't matter, he will not get any attentions from the crowd

No matter if I'm a saint

or if I get praised by the world as "the kindest person in the world"

If I always drown in pool, I will be forgotten, that's just how it is

result is a given

Therefore

Even if you have a bad mouth and you are acting grumpy

If you get enough results and attentions

it's good in the eyes of the sponsors

since he will be able bring attentions to both him and the sponsors attached to him

Don't you think so?

Even Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong

even if they have created so many moments for the game

if they weren't able to make any good results

What do you think will happen?

Let's say Daigo and Justin went to EVO

and made the monumental "Moment 37"

let's just say after moment 37

they weren't able to make any more results and are always drowned in pool

If they are consistently out at Top 200 or Top 300 or even Top 64, everyone will forget about them

It's the same for everyone. Result is a given

It's only when you have the power

you have the rights to talk

and that power, as a pro fighting game player, is the results

For example

I've won the first EVO Japan recently

After I won, I said I'm the only who won both EVO and EVO Japan

It's because I'm the 1st place that has its meaning

imagine....

Imagine a random dude just come out and say "I'm Top 64 for both EVO and EVO Japan"

Who in the world will care?

That's just how this place works

It is necessary for a player to make results

and even if you can't you need to fit with the standards of the sponsors

that's the standard

that was my first point - result

second thing you need to have as a Korean pro fighting game player is...

Knowing foreign language

English especially

if you can speak both English and Japanese that's better

as a gamer that is

To tell you the reason why

if you look at Street Fighter V right now

It's American and European...

Not saying English is a main language there in Europe, but it certainly is for America

The common language here is English

Even if you go to France, if you know a little bit of English it helps a lot

same for Spain and even Brazil

Excluding those countries that despise English as a language

Most of the times English works as a communication tool

I, Infiltration, can speak perfect Korean since it's my mother language

But I can also speak English and Japanese to a certain extent

From simple things like picking a menu

to some situations like telling my purpose of flight in the airport

or something like asking how do I go to certain places

While it is not perfect, I can communicate with my English skill

if you can say these things in English then there will be no problem for you

Furthermore, for me...

I felt it's necessary to learn foreign language

so I've searched many language learning videos, mostly on Youtube

Because I am always communicate with players around the world I was able to communicatate using English

I've never put my time reading English textbook

since my English is developed through my experience around the world, my grammar is not perfect

there are still many parts that I'm lacking

Let's just say a foreign friend of yours came to Korea but doesn't speak Korean

Do you see him/her as an idiot?

No, right? Of course the answer is no.

a foreigner not knowing a foreign language is very ordinary, but...

of course it's ordinary

It's same for them, even if I go to American not knowing English, they will understand me because I'm a foreigner

Let's say you have a friend named "Ben"

He visits Korea and says in Korean...

"Me. Like. Very Much. That Thing. Kimchi"

You can understand what he's trying to say

"Ahh~ Ben likes Kimchi very much"

you can understand what he's trying to say fairly easily

It's the same for me

Even if I talk in broken English

They will understand because they know English

That's about it

That's why there's no big problem for me to communicate in English and Japanese

My Japanese might be lacking since I've only learned it when I was in Elementary

While I'm using English almost all the time

The reason why I'm saying foreign language is important....

Specially English and Japanese

It's because 1. there are a lot of English and Japanese speaking players in the scene

Especially Japan cause they have all the talented players, useful information

Furthermore, Japan is relatively close to Korea so it's easier to communicate with them

It is easier to learn Japanese, that's why Japanese is also very important

Whether you go there for a trip or a training session

to meet your friend or participate in a tournament, Japanese is very important

Same goes for English

It'll be easier to communicate with them/train with them

It's good in a lot of ways

I will talk about it later, but I use Social Media quite often

Things like facebook, twitter or Instagram I use them all

and when you are using it...

It is very different when you either only use English, only use Korean or use both English and Korean

That's why for me, I NEED to use English

Even if it's other Korean players like Poong-ko, NL and Verloren

They also felt the same way: They felt the necessity of knowing English

I mean it's pretty sad

When Verloren went to Capcom Cup as the only Korean player in the bracket

Capcom asked him for the interview, only to be canceled because of him not able to speak English

What is this Situations?!

I honestly think it's Capcom's fault for not preparing a Korean translator

I think that is the right thing to do

I mean back then they could have found someone around that corner who can speak Korean

If you look at Japanese players, the orginizer usually prepare some translators for them. But why for Korean it is like this...

It is sure a sad truth, but my point is not that

Let's say Verloren tries his best to interview using English

If he did that

It is the first time where it is not Infiltration or Poong-ko in Capcom Cup

it will be such a great chance for him to introduce him his personality and backgrounds

he could be more popular

but that chance was gone

just because he wasn't able to speak English back then

That's why while I feel sorry for him, it further proves that even if we don't like it we need to learn these foreign language

If he actually won the tourney, Capcom will probably find one

That's why we, as a Korean pro fighting game player, must learn foreign langauge

This necessity will grow as time goes on

because in whatever case you are: whether you are invited, need to communicate, or finding a sponsor...

The Korean e-sports scene is not fully developed yet, therefore you can't expect too much from this country

Even my sponsor, Panda Global and Monster Gaming, are foreign companies.

That is why, a Korean pro fighting game player needs to learn a foreign language

to gain attentions, appeal himself and be more comfortable in a foreign country

For me, I'm the lucky one for learning English in my tourney experiences

It will be a necessity

If you look at players from other countries, they get Sponsors pretty easily

One reason is because the e-sports scene there is quite developed compare to our country

It's also because for sponsors, those players are great promotional tools

Because with a big scene, it's really good to have a player who can speak native language

Therefore, it is necessary to learn English, if you can speak Japanese then even better.

That's my second point

Third thing that a Korean pro fighting game player needs

and that is the usage of Social Media

As a Korean, you might not be able to understand this point.

Social Network Service, or Social Media

if you mention Social Media to a Korean, there are three things coming out of their heads

facebook,

facebook, twitter

facebook, twitter and instagram

There are other Social Media out there, but these are the most commonly used one here in Korea

but

the thing is...

I have quite amount of followers in all the Social Media account I mentioned above

Right now I have almost 50k followers on twitter

and I have about 10k likes (or is it follow?) in Facebook

same for Instagram, around 10~11k followers

I have some followers among all the platform, with twitter being the biggest one

For Korean, this might be something not understandable

But, the reason for that is because....

Specifically Twitter is not well received here in Korea

and it's ALL because of coach Ferguson

As the coach leading Manchester United back in the day

He specifically said "Twitter is a waste of time"

that had quite an impact in the Korean internet community

Furthermore

Those people who use those social media

They don't usually show their good deeds

but a lot of bad news related to them were covered in the media outlet and internet community here in Korea

That's why a lot of Korean people think it is indeed "a waste of time" to use Social Media

But I absolutely don't agree with that

I actually think it is nonsense

Some of you here in the chat have already mentioned

There are some of you who play Street Fighter V and use Twitter together

because you will be able to see some fresh news from either players, commentators, organizer, etc.

If I go to EVO and tweet "Hi, I'm Infil and I arrived here at EVO"

"I just finished my pool" "Top 8 coming up next!" "I just won the tourney!"

If you want to hear these news as fast as possible then Twitter is the choice here

It also grabs more attentions

since you can simply tweet or read the tweet using your phone

that's why it grabs a lot of attentions

But there are some cases where because it is so easy to make a tweet

They went off-guard

and makes some mistakes

or trash talking because they got salty

or trash talking other players saying they play cheap

you can make some mistakes like that

But, if you can control it properly

Social Media is a great tool for you

Someone in the chat talks about sponsor promotion stuffs

Right now I'm affiliated with Panda Global, and if you see it here there's other sponsors like

Geico,

Geico, Hyper X,

Geico, Hyper X, Toshiba

Geico, Hyper X, Toshiba, Twitch

and of course Monster Energy

Most of the sponsor companies have their own Social Media accounts

and you can promote it by tagging them in your tweets

When I tweet about my win at EVO Japan, there were so many people replied

liked

and retweet.

Even when I won EVO 2016

there are many people who congratulate with via Twitter Replies

leave a like and retweet my tweet

and that retweets spread out all over the worl

and when it spreads out, all the sponsors name attached to my apparel will be happy

Since the player they choose to sponsor create good results and his sponsor tags are seen by the crowds

It will be a natural Promotion

at that point, I just became a walking billboard

the more social media I use, the stronger the promotion will be, right?

am I right?

It's the same for Twitch and Youtube

though they are more like a video platform rather than a Social Media

Let's look at this way

Remember during EVO 2015, Poong-ko take his shirt off against a Abel player who taunts him?

Do you know that that video alone has more than 10 millions views?!

You can get promoted like that

it's the same thing

More than 10 millions people saw Poong-ko taking his shirt off, that made his name

While it is a very interesting happening back then, but that's how these things work

It's because of these reasons that it is important to use Social Media

and you need to understand different countries like different platform

Like in Korea, Twitter is not very useful

actually the reception of Twitter in Korea is pretty bad here

But because Instagram is more picture based, it is more well received in Korea

A lot of people who are good looking or hard working goes there to promote themselves

There are some countries that prefer Facebook as well

though I'm not using Facebook that actively

That's why Social Media is important

and if you see my twitter channel you can see that I've followed other players like HumanBomb, Phenom and NL

That connections allow our players to communicate with each others

since we can't always have each others phone number

We get some inquires for the events , interview, and even money match thru Twitter's Direct Message.

Twitter, in this sense, can be used as a contact tool

I can't just go to Justin Wong's place and ask Justin "Hey, Install Kakao if you want to talk with me"

Same for Daigo, I can't just go to him and say "Hi, Umehara-san~ Please Kakao Down-rodo"

Twitter can be a good contact tool

That's why Social Media is pretty important

it can be more important than you think

Actually...

Even Daigo, who haven't really use any Social Media before

now have Twitch, Twitter and various Social Media account to stay active in the scene

Now you can see the latest news around Daigo if you just follow those channels

That's why if you are a Korean pro fighting game player, you must use Social Media

Now, the 4th thing a Korean pro fighting game player needs is...

You need to have some Livestream activities.

Something like Twtich, AfreecaTV, DaumPot, Popcorn TV or Youtube, you name it.

It's kinda similar to Social Media

For me, right now I have 2 things that I am running right now

First I'm using Twitch to record my livestream

While I've tried other platforms like AfreecaTV, Twitch is the definite place I livestream now

and then I decided to you Youtube as an Archive for my past ccontents

Right now, for me

Even if I have something to tell you guys

If it's too long or I need to show my emotion or I wanna teach you guys some new techs

Social Media has a very clear limitation on that

That's why a video is a necessity

and now the live interaction is very important

fans are actively curious about how a player play, train and live

That's why as a pro player, for you to be able to be closer with fans or make a kinder impression,

you need it

Furthermore, this can be the competitive grounds for the players if you stretch it

On that note...

I can make a comparison with NL

If you compare me to NL, I might seem to be stronger than him in terms of the tournament results

But if you asked me "who are you more familiar with?", even I raise my hand for NL

Because NL is a full-time streamer and he communicate with his audiences in his stream

that's why he's more familiar to the audience and thus it is more desirable to cheer for him

That's why I think livestreaming is pretty important

That's why outside of Social Media, all those pro Players should do the live streams

That's a must

In my case,

Since I'm very busy

While NL is a pro-gamer, he is still a full-time streamer

but for me, I'm a full-time pro gamer

That's why I have less time for streaming compare to other people cause of my busy schedule

I can't put live streaming into my top priority

That's why I can't livestream as much as I want to

and that's why I'm doing some other contents like walking stream, Youtube, etc.

I also don't like to force myself to play Rank Match just for the sake of the contents

I felt like the audience will rather watch those walking stream than me complains about Online Matches

Recently, I wrote some idea on what to talk about during the stream and write them in the memo

For me, I'm thinking of putting Youtube as my primary platform

Because I recently found a new editor

and since I have more foreign fans than Korean

I needed a person who can speak both languages, have some free times, and can do some basic editings

I was lucky enough to find one and that's why recently on my channels there were videos like rants on Cammy, Splatoon 2, etc.

Today's video will be up too, maybe shorter than the last one

That's why for me, Twitch and Youtube become a must do for me

Some pro gamer like Faker and Daigo, do you expect them to earn much by doing live streaming?

They can earn enough money by just doing the schedule they have.

But the fact that they are still doing it means that we come to an age where this kind of live streaming is a norm to our society.

It probably is not for the money

It's also for growing the community, because these live stream does help the community to keep on growing

For example,

For Twitch, it's usually my fan and those who knows the game joins the chat

But for Youtube, it's for everyone

My parents know how to use Youtube, and kids nowadays are no exceptions.

Kids find some songs like "Baby Shark~ Doo Doo Doo"

Parents find some news

Different age groups use Youtube for various uses

That's why, there might be a chance where they see my content by coincidence but liked the contents anyway

They might be interested in the game, the people and the things related to the community thus helping the growth of the community

Therefore, it is a necessity for Korean Pro fighting game players to do live streaming and Youtube

Alright, No. 5!

This is the last thing that I think a Korean pro fighting game player needs

Someone in the chat predicted it very accurately, which gives me goose bumps

But yeah, the thing that I think a pro player needs is mental and physical well-being

You need to makes both body and minds fit and healthy.

The point is you need to do both

and now I'm going to tell you why both of them are important

I was born in March 23rd 1985 (remember my birthday)

and right now I'm 33 (34 if it's Korean age)

the age 34 in FGC is on the very old side

and for PC games, the common reception here is you are too late if you finish your military duty

but if they consider my age, I'm basically equivalent to an ammonite compare to other younger players

I know 33 as an age is not really an old age since the average life expectancy is over 100

But as a pro gamer I'm pretty old

furthermore

I'm still pretty active as a pro player

but there's something you need to understand

making a fighting game, a genre where it causes so much stress, as your choice of being a pro?

it will break you mentally

If you guys think that I'm just a weirdo who shake his body all the time

I mean you are right

But still, there are sometimes that even I feel a little bit stressed out

it also happens to me sometimes

There are many instances where you guys didn't see but I was feeling sad for the loss of a match

Like last time in Fighters' Spirit, a ranking event in Korea

I really wanted to go to Top 8 and win the tournament as a Korean player

But I was not able to do it and during that time I felt pathetic and completely stressed out.

It felt even worse than losing an EVO during that time

I regrets to see the outcome

Looking at NL doing his best while I'm here just looking at Top 8, I felt embarrassed and was very sad that day

So that evening, I tried my best to relax myself while eating garlic chicken

Damn, Tokido! He was so strong back then.

I was very sad back then

You guys get furious when you fail your promotion match or placement matches right?

But think about all those sponsors and a pro-gamer tag attached to you and you lose.

That feeling of hopelessness increase drastically

because there's many things on the line

There's so many things on the line with my play and my results

"I need to show my worth"

"There are fans who hopes I win"

"I need to grow my communities" so many things pop out in your head

that's why it is very stressful to be a fighting game pro player

I can just do crazy stuffs everytime like do 7 consecutive command grabs

and whenever I lose I can go "huh, I lose. Whatever~"

But as a pro, it is very difficult to have that kind of mindset

It is stressful, and thus you really need to be mentally healthy

I always try my best to show the positive sides to my audience (even though I do complain sometimes)

I tried my best to show to my audience that "I lose sometimes and it's okay"

and I sometimes pretend to be confident at the match

Because, look how lacking I am

I know I am still lacking, but I tried my best to cover it and do the best I got

Since it's better to be positive than negative

Even in Social Media

When I lose I wants to complain about my lost

"Gouki is too OP" "Guile is too OP" "Capcom Plz Nerf" I want to write those

But still..

I try my best to relax myself and tweet "thanks everyone for cheering me up till now, I will try better next time"

I try my best to hide my sad feelings and relax

and by doing that, you can withstand the test of time

You can withstand the test of time, feeling better for yourself

and your mental strength become stronger and stronger every time there's happening like these

Stood up against the pain and sadness

you become stronger

and you will become more considerate

that's why you need to take care of your mental well-being

Since fighting game is less of a physical game, though physical health is also really important,

but it doesn't matter if you are fat or thin, it's more a long series of mind games.

That's why mental management is very important

Right now, I'm still playing pretty decently

but god knows when will it die down

specially last year was a hurdle for me, cause that was the year I made no result

It's because of everyone that I was able to rise up again

I think I'm doing pretty well in SFV right now

I was able to go to Capcom Cup 2016 as the top contender though I was eliminated early on

and my current ranking is 2nd, so I think I'm doing pretty decent this season

Ok, next. After we talk about Mental Management

after mental well-being, it's the actual physical well-being that's important

Let me elaborate on that

The reason why you need to be physically fit is because

if you look at Street Fighter V, there's no tournament that's held in Korea

Even Tekken doesn't have a tourney here, and those pro players needs to fly to different countries to compete

Same for any other games like DBFZ, Guilty Gear, etc.

Let's say you are going to California from Korea

If you take the fastest plane, it takes around 10~ 11 hours to go there

and when you go back, it takes about 2~3 hours more because it's on the upwind side

Actually, don't even need to mention exact places, taking a plane ride is pretty exhausting

No matter what you do in the plane, there's always gonna be a difference in time

and some burdens like making results in a foreign country keep on piling up, and it's pretty stressful

it is very exhausting

and even for me, the very first thing I do after I arrive at the country is going to hotel and sleep.

to adjust myself to the time difference and save up the energy, I sleep for over 20 hours in the hotel

after I adjust the time difference, that's when I'm going to the matches

I think you can already see why it's quite exhausting to do this job

Now I'm getting older

I don't think I will be able to digest all these schedules without building up my body

I've told you the schedule before, but let me tell you again up until the end of September

Tomorrow I'm going to UK for VSFighting

and since I can announce it now....

I'm going to be at England from 19th to 24th

and come back to Korea at 24th

on the very next day, I'm going to Japan for RAGE 3V3 Event

When I'm back it's gonna be around 27th or 28th

and after 2 days, I'm going to EVO

After EVO, there will be some local events there in America, so I'll stay there until August 8th and then I will come back to Korea

After a week, I'm going to Taiwan

and HongKong after that

and China after HongKong's tourney

After event in China, I'm going to Canada for Dreamhack Montreal

and after DreamHack, it's SCR

last but not the least, after I come back from SCR, I will be going to Japan for TGS

That's my schedule for now and I can't miss any of those events

furthermore, if there's going to be anything beyond these I need to fit them into my already busy schedule

I don't even know how many weeks I'm busy for the tournament anymore

Let me see there are 1...2... 3... there are 10 events for me to attends every week in the span of 10 weeks

If there's any inivitational, interview or just anything that's booked between this period, I might do it since it earns me more money

thus more schedules for me

That's how it is

It's a very hard schedule, and to be able to digest it, some personal body care is necessary

I need to know how to build my body and lose weight

That's why if you look at Infiltration from 2017 to Infiltration now, there's a big difference in fat

There's a big difference in weight

Let me just show you the picture to make it clear

Now you guys can see my face now

Let's compare

This is how I look right now, 2018 Infiltration

Oh my god, Me in this picture looks so old here (Laugh)

Let me show you a picture of me when I was really fat back then

Oh my god, I'm so fat back then (Laugh)

It's so embarrassing to show you guys because it was the time where I don't even have much hairs

But I'm still going to show it for the Youtube sake.

Alright, let me show you

where did it go?

THIS IS ME TWO YEARS AGO

LOOK AT HIS HAIR AND BODY

It's Infiltration 2016!

Delete, delete. Need to get rid of it(laugh)

(laugh)

That's me two years ago

that's the picture of me winning Final Round XIX

it looks like a different person right?

(laugh)

Oh my god, I look like 40 years old back then

(laugh)

After I had a rough time last year

I thought to myself

I think I've tried all the things I can do

So this time I made a goal of making a healthy and sexy body so that everyone will be captivated by me even as a pro-gamer

I start to go on a diet

I made a meal plan consists mainly Chicken breasts and vegetables

and I started to walk a lot

I downloaded a walking app to record myself walking at least 10k steps everyday.

and set a goal of walking 200k steps every month since I need to consider I'm going to different countries

After that, I spent like a million won for the PT class, I'm going there today as well

When I first start, I was 84 kilograms (186 pounds) and my height is about 182cm (5 ft 97)

and now, I'm around 77 kilograms (169 pounds), with 76 being my lowest

I lose around 7 kilos of weight

My body become more fit and I become more healthy

Since then, I was able to gain confidence from both inside and outside of my body

I am proud of what I accomplished

and I was able to do more harder work-outs and give tips to the newer people

I'm on the level of having 6 packs or anything and I still need to work harder

but it sure did help me a lot

Even when I'm in the plane, my back is okay

I don't feel tired easily, and people say I looks younger and healthier which I think is a very good sign

That's why I think you need to excercise

as a Korean pro fighting game player, you must exercise in order to make your body and mind both healthy

I think it's a must for every pro fighting game players

and to finish it off

As a pro gamer

not only Korean but all of them

this is my final thing that I think all the pro fighting game player should do

exercise

exercise, and mental management

you need to keep your body and mind healthy

that's all

Holiday TBR | Books I'm Taking On My First Time Abroad - Duration: 9:26.

It is day 137 of the UK heatwave.

The grass is no longer green.

The trees are dying.

The bumblebees are living purely off sugar water.

And I still haven't found a way to bloomin' survive.

Hello everyone!

I'm Ashleigh, and today I'm going to be talking about the books that I am taking on holiday.

So basically a holiday TBR.

As I'm sure you know by now, I don't usually do TBRs because I don't tend to stick to them.

But because I'm going on holiday - actually the day that this video is going up - even

though I don't usually do TBRs, there are a set of books that I am taking on holiday

with me so it is a pretty definite selection that I'm hoping to read.

And it also does mean that if you leave a comment then there will be a bit of a delay

in my reply.

But I really want to come home and just catch up with everything, reply to lots of people,

so I would love for you to leave a comment for me to come back to!

Now, I actually have a blog post about how I chose these books, because I actually chose

out ten books, and then read the first chapter and decided which books I wanted to take on

holiday with me based on the first chapters.

So if you would like to know what my first impressions of these books were and how I

ended up deciding to take these few with me, then I will leave a link to that down in the

description box.

But with further ado, here is my holiday TBR.

So the first book that I'm going to talk about is actually a really recent purchase.

I got it this month because I wanted to take it on holiday.

And you might be thinking something along the lines of contemporary but nope.

I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak.

As far as I can gather, this is about someone who accidentally stops a bank robbery, and

then he starts getting messages.

That's literally all I know.

But I've been wanting to read this one for ages because The Book Thief is one of my favourite

books, and a lot of people rave about this one as well, even though it's completely different,

but I kind of want to see HOW it's completely different.

And I already started to see how it was different from the first chapter that I read, so...I

do think this is going to be a quick read.

And I'm - I'm really intrigued because it does seem completely different from The Book

Thief so I'm wondering how my standards will uphold this book...was that a senten-did that

make sense?

So yes, this one has been on my TBR for a long time.

But I also want to read this one so that I can kind of restart a series that I started

a very long time ago on this channel and just never really continued.

I did one video and then never really - I couldn't continue it.

Because I did start a series in which I review authors rather than individual books, because

I don't like doing video reviews of individual books, I just like doing my wrap ups.

But sometime last year I think it was, maybe the year before, I actually read all of Jane

Austen's books, and decided to review her as an author and sort of rank her books.

And I thought that could be an interesting series for me to continue, however I say this

a lot, but I'm not very good at keeping up with book releases so...I haven't read enough

of any author to have filmed any other videos.

So I'm hoping that Markus Zusak might become one of those authors, because at the moment

he's only got this and The Book Thief out, and he does have another book upcoming.

So once I've read that one, I can review him.

But I am thinking of other authors such as Victoria Schwab, but she constantly releases

books so I'm waiting to get to a point where I've read all of her current ones and she

doesn;t have one coming out for awhile for me to be able to do it.

I'm also thinking of doing Carlos Ruiz Zafon at some point, and maybe the Bronte sisters?

But that is a long way off because I've barely read any of them.

But anyway, yes.

That's part of the reason why I am taking this one with me, and I am very excited.

This is the one that will be in my hand luggage so that I can read on the flight.

Next up we have American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I actually don't know what this is about.

I just know that it is one huge book and it's by Neil Gaiman.

But I have been wanting to read some sort of Neil Gaiman for a long time, and I feel

like this is a good one to take on holiday with me because if I left it at home, it would

probably take me another year or so to get to it.

Whereas on holiday, 1. it's going to last me a bit longer than the standard book, and

also I feel like Neil Gaiman might be a good one to read on holiday, because I feel like

I'm going to fly through his writing style.

So we shall see.

But yes, as far as plot goes, all I know is that it starts off in a prison, and my dad

says it's weird because he's watched the TV show.

I like weird.

I'll do weird.

Next up, I will be taking The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry.

I believe this is a historical fiction...yes it's in London 1893, and there are rumours

that the folklore of this giant serpent is real, and the main character of this wants

to discover if it is real or not.

And I think she comes across a man who she doesn't get along with at first, but then

she probably ends up falling in love with him which is like my favourite trope ever

and is the main reason why I picked this up.

But this is one that I've been so intrigued about for so long, and I'm really hoping I

get the chance to read this one now because it's been a long time coming.

Next up we have The Magicians by Lev Grossman, which was a recommendation for me from Matthew

over at MCS-Books quite a while ago now...ohhh I need to read it purely for that reason.

Because I bought it on a recommendation and haven't read it yet.

But this is a fantasy that is following a boy who is going to an interview to get into

Princeton, but when he turns up, his interviewer is dead, so that's not a good start.

But then he finds an envelope with his name on, and when he looks into it, it just leads

to a whole lot of different things.

And I am just very intrigued about it.

Apparently this is like a huge cult book, but I've never heard of it.

So I'm intrigued.

We also have The House of the Spirits by...who's this by?

It doesn't have a name on it.

Isabel Allende.

I'm pretty sure it follows a girl who predicts people's futures, and when her sister dies

she goes mute, and the only time she breaks her silence is to announce that she's marrying

a man that no one's really heard of before.

That's about as much as I know about this.

It sounds like it will be quite a mysterious read.

And I don't know what to expect from this one because when I did read the first chapter

or so, I'm - I was unsure.

It took me by surprise.

But it's quite a big one.

And it did start picking up so I'm quite intrigued to see what this one has in store.

I'm pretty sure I've said "I'm intrigued" about every single book in this video.

This is part of the reasons why I don't do TBRs.

Because what can you say about a book you haven't read yet?

An the final book that I'm going to talk about is And I Darken by Keirsten White.

Now this one I don't know if I'm definitely going to take with me, but if I feel like

the five books in ten days might not be enough, then this one will be thrown in the suitcase

as well for good measure.

However, I am a slow reader so I feel like I'm going to end up taking six books and reading

like one or two of them.

But you know, better to be prepared than run out of reading material.

But this one is actually a sort of historical retelling of Vlad the Impaler but genderbent.

And I've been told by many people that I need to read this.

And it's been sat on my shelves for ages.

So it might be coming with me.

It might not.

But it might be.

But yes!

Those are all the books that I will be taking with me on holiday.

I'm really hoping I get to the majority of these, if not all of them, because I just

NEED a really good reading binge.

And I just need the time to catch up with all the reading that I've not been able to

do since starting my summer internship.

And because it's one of those holidays where it's just going to be lying in the sun on

a beach somewhere or by the pool for a long time, I'm hoping that I do get quite a lot

of reading done.

I'd love to know if you've read any of these, or just what your thoughts are in general.

I know that it's not the typical holiday TBR because I don't tend to read contemporaries

that often or like, light and summery books.

So while you might expect that for a summer/holiday to be read list, it's not for me.

I'm taking all the dark stuff.

As I said before, I won;t be replying to comments until I'm back.

I will be away for 10 days but I am really looking forward to getting home and having

a catch up on everything that's happened since I've been gone.

So I would love for you to leave a comment for me to come back to.

Oh and I should also mention that there won't be a video next week because of the holiday.

So, yeah.

Other than that, I hope you're having a lovely day, and I shall see you next time with a new video, Bye!

Will I ever be able to make shirts look casual? Probably not. I feel like this is way too close.

OH. No. That was the wrong way.

ever a time when music wasn't my passion.

I study at the junior RNCM in Manchester

on Saturdays and I'm also a member of the National Youth Orchestra.

ABRSM has been massively important in my growth as a musician, both as a performer

and just a person in general because I've been taking ABRSM exams

since I was very young, possibly about six years old and it's always just

been a way of gauging my progress and like making sure that I'm aware of how I'm

doing at the moment. It's also been really useful when applying for things

like orchestras where they ask for a certain standard and I can say

Oh, I'm Grade 5 ABRSM and that can go a long way in

helping determine whether you get a place.

I definitely hope to go on to pursue music as a career when I'm older

maybe as a performer, maybe as a composer,

maybe as a teacher but definitely it's the way to go for me is music.

The 'Diff'rent Strokes' With The Bicycle Man Child Molester - Duration: 6:56.

(mellow music)

- [Narrator] Mr. Drummond warns it's about to get

very real in this bitch.

Buckle up.

The fam's returning bikes after a ride.

Mr. Horton comes out juggling.

He used to juggle knives in the circus.

Not a troubling backstory at all.

He says instead of renting, Mr. Drummond should buy a bike.

Sounds good to Arnold.

Mr. Drummond doesn't like the idea

of Arnold riding around town.

There are a lot of creepy weirdos.

Arnold says a bike now is a great investment,

he's going to be this size forever.

Mr. Horton shows Arnold a fresh red bike.

He loves it.

He can a wear a red helmet with red pants

and pronounce Cs like Bs so people know where he bomes from.

Mr. Drummond says it'll make a fine birthday gift.

Mr. Horton tells Arnold if passes out these flyers

he'll give him a nifty radio.

- [Mr. Horton] You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours?

- [Arnold] You keep comin' up with these presents,

you can scratch me all over!

(laughing)

- [Narrator] He might just take you up on that, Arnold.

Arnold is unsuccessfully distributing

these opposite of treasure maps.

Dudley shows him how a real salesman does it

then wants in on the offer to hand out

a pedophile's leaflets for a free radio.

Arnold announces he gave out all the flyers.

- [Mr. Horton] That is great Arnold.

You're sure some terrific passer-outer.

- [Arnold] I have a way with words

when I put my mouth to it.

- [Narrator] Uh, maybe don't advertise what that mouth do.

Mr. Horton says this calls for a celebration.

How about a banana split in his attached apartment

that features one of those arcade cabinets

older men are known to have loved in the 1980's.

- [Mr. Horton] Arnold this is the tallest,

the sweetest, the gooeyst, the stickiest,

and the most disgusting banana split I think I've ever made.

- [Narrator] That checks out,

most of his disgusting sticky messes

aren't very tall at all.

- [Arnold] The way I eat it, it won't have a chance to melt.

My tongue's faster than a hummingbird's wing.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Arnold, please say less right now.

Mr. Horton says it sucks

Arnold's dad won't give him the bike until his birthday.

But if he wants to swing by after school,

he can ride that red thang.

Maybe take the bike for a spin, too.

But do not tell da da about the bike.

Matter of fact, don't tell da da sheeit.

Arnold tells Dudley the awesome news

that Mr. Horton has toys and trains and video games.

It's like Michael Jackson's house.

Just like Michael Jackson's house.

And he might be able to get Dudley in

on the banana shaped stuff in your mouth action.

Mr. Horton sees his young guests

and plants some porn between comic books.

(laughing)

Very weird laugh track.

He invites them in to his sad apartment for pizza.

He says the za is cookin', but he needs to go to the front,

so peruse his well-stocked literature in the meantime.

Arnold's mind is blown.

That's a titty.

That's a titty.

Whole book full of titty.

Mr. Horton catches them and says it's all good.

A little titty never hurt no one.

The human body is a work of art.

Now here's some pizza

with a not so subtle sales pitch on the side.

- [Mr Horton] You know guys, you can just have

and awful lot of fun with your clothes off.

Unless of course you live at the North Pole,

You're gonna freeze your touche off.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Very very weird laugh track.

He says skinny dipping is fun.

Here are pictures of him swimming naked

with kids to prove it.

Dudley says it looks like a party.

Arnold is not about that life.

Mr. Horton asks if these young adults

want a little wine with their pizza.

Like in France, or Michael Jackson's house.

Arnold says no way, but when Dudley says yup,

Arnold refuses to let him drink alone.

True friendship.

Mr. Horton says let's play Instagram.

Dudley can be Tarzan.

But Tarzan never wore a shirt.

Better pop that thing off, Dudster.

Now let's take some pictures, drink some wine,

have a good time, to be continued, right now.

Horton says Tarzan needs a lion.

He volunteers, he loves lion to kids.

But first more jungle juice.

Arnold says no thanks, that stuff nasty.

But when Dudley calls him a punk, Arnold says pour up drank.

- L'chaim. (laughing)

- [Narrator] Close enough.

Horton invites them to jump on his twin sized mattress.

An underdog contender for top five

saddest things about this episode.

He says they can use his nickname: Curly.

A nickname for his hair,

just not the ones on his head.

A customer arrives, it's Mr. Drummond.

He tries to pay for the bike but can't take the hint

to scram from Horton's horny ass.

Arnold sees his daddy talking to the guy he lives with

and books it out the back with Dudley

and a fist full of gum.

Arnold gets busted by Kimberly and Willis

with a mouth full of minty chew.

They ask why he smells like Kiefer Sutherland's poolhouse.

He says it's just wine.

Dudley's dad gave it to him.

And what's the big deal?

Everyone drinks wine in France.

But he's not in France,

or Michael Jackson's house.

And if Dad finds out he's going to whoop his ass.

Arnold feels bad about all the sneaking.

Mr. Horton has some cartoons that might change his mind.

Arnold's not convinced.

- [Mr Horton] Oh, that's alright Dudley.

That just means that there's more

Boston cream pie for you and me.

(laughing)

- [Arnold] Boston cream pie?

- [Narrator] Let's pray to God

he's talking about dessert and not a road trip.

Mr. Horton puts on the toons.

- [Arnold] That mouse just lost his pants.

(laughing)

He's not wearing any undershorts!

(laughing)

- [Dudley] Look at that girl mouse.

She's wearing a bikini.

- [Arnold] Not anymore!

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Very very very weird laugh track.

This vintage hentai finally exceeds

Arnold's capacity for bullshit.

He's taking his cream pie to go.

Mr. Horton says now they can play Neptune.

It's a water game in the shower, Dudley's gonna love it.

Dudley's dad swings by the Drummond residence.

He politely requests they stop sending Dudley home sauced.

Yesterday he came home smelling like

Nick Nolte's Golden Globes tuxedo.

Mr. Drummond denies the allegations.

Willis and Kimberly spill beans.

They say Arnold came home shmambamed

but claimed he got loose at Dudley's house.

Dadley is going to talk with his son.

Mr. Drummond is going to go whoop Arnold's ass.

Time to tackle the serious topic of pre-teen alcoholics.

- [ Mr. Drummond] He came to discuss something

that I found quite informative.

- [Arnold] Oh?

What's that?

- [Mr. Drummond] You and Dudley hitting the bottle.

- [Arnold] Whatchoo talkin' about, dad?

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Nailed it.

Mr. Drummond wants a name.

Arnold fingers Horton, which is not the way

Horton hoped things would go.

- [Arnold] He gave us some pizza and wine.

- [Mr. Drummond] What else went on there?

- [Arnold] He showed us some pictures.

Everybody was naked.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Ha ha.

- [Mr. Drummond] Naked?

- [Arnold] And he showed us some kinky cartoons.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Ha ha.

- [Mr. Drummond] What do you mean by kinky?

- [Arnold] Well, you told me about the birds and the bees,

but that's nothing compared to what those mice were doing.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Ha ha ha.

Mr. Drummond calls five-oh

and brings them to Horton's den of Schwinn.

Busted you sweatered sicko.

Dudley says Mr. Horton gave him a pill to feel good.

But he does not feel good.

At first it was fun, then Mr. Horton tried to touch 'em.

His dad says it's not his fault and he loves him.

Then makes a face that says goddamn you white people.

Arnold doesn't know who to trust anymore.

Mr. Drummond says you can still trust most people.

Even, like, three of the white ones.

But watch out for adults who tell you to keep secrets

from your parents, or lavish you with gifts and wine,

even if they made Thriller.

So what did we learn today?

Stay the hell away from bike shops.

Because the nice old man running them

might try to feed your kid ice cream and wine

then show him pictures of his saggy old balls

and photograph his best friend without a shirt on.

And if someone offers you a free radio,

you're better off just buying the damn thing

and saving yourself a lot stress and therapy.

And it doesn't matter what people do in France.

Because we are not in France,

or Michael Jackson's house.

See you next time on A Very Special Episode.
