<>===================================<>
So I shot 2 pretty different videos in Maui during Papa's wedding 2 weeks ago.
(I actually shot a third which is LIVE at Papa's wedding that I'll put out next week...)
I've had a lot of fun visiting Maui over the years -- especially when I lived in Hawaii for 3 and 1/2 years and would take a short plane ride from Oahu to Maui for weekend trips -- so thought it would be fun to shoot something from the "nice hotel" as well as from the "wild side" of the island.
It used to drive me CRAZY how people would come all the way out to Hawaii but SIT IN THE DAMNED RESORT AND NEVER SEE THE REAL HAWAII!!!
So today you'll see one vid from the 4 Seasons hotel, and the next on the wild north side of the island.
Some day I'll go back and also shoot vblogs on the top of the volcano and in Hana -- 2 places I really enjoy as well.
But for now check these out.... :)
The first is on the topic of using money and prostitutes to get laid. I thought it would match up well with the environment because it's one of the nicest hotels I've ever seen, and so people who use a lot of money to get laid would relate well to it (and why they need to STOP!)
This is a super important topic for many reasons, which I'll explain below.
CLICK THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW TO SEE WHY USING MONEY AND PROSTITUTES TO GET LAID CAUSES YOUR BRAIN TO STOP GENERATING SWAGGER AND DIMINISHES YOUR SELF RESPECT!
So hope you enjoyed this one and I'll take time to expand on it here.
I shoot these video blogs "off the cuff" with zero script or pre-planning -- and also often with people staring at me in shock about the subject matter -- so I sometimes skim over or poorly explain a few things here and there (I think I do a good job overall).
In this case I wanted to add that...
1- It's totally fine to spend money on a girl who you are ALREADY WITH.
Either fucking her, or dating her.
I often don't spend a dime on girls I'm fucking, but if I'm intimate with a girl on a really high level I may take her to restaurants or trips.
This is typically a girl who I've fucked the first night we met, and without spending a dime (or any talk or money at all). She has already proven she's into "me for me" and is being taken out as a reward.
2- You can spend SMALL amounts of money to help with LOGISTICS, such as paying for taxi rides or a CHEAP bit of food.
Typically I'll let the girl take scraps off of my plate if I feel that it'll get her to come with me to the restaurant as well.
In a few cases I've paid for dinner on a pull with a girl I've already made out with and groped profusely and we still wound up having sex.
This should be done PURELY FOR LOGISTICS and for no other reason at all. And keep in mind that you want to DOWNPLAY what you're doing for her -- such as saying that you can expense it on your company card, etc.
In the past year I've had a case where a girl said "Unless you buy me this beer I'm not fucking you..." and I bought the 2 dollar beer and immediately fucked her (again -- we'd been making out for a few hours) and another girl I told her that I'd buy her eggs at Denny's and pay for her gas to drive around on a tour of the city if she slept over at my hotel -- and we wound up fucking as well.
So there's a few exceptions, but overall you want to MINIMIZE any TALK or USE or money 100%.
I've also taken the opposite tact where I get girls paying FOR ME even to the point that they're furious about it, and this just amps up their emotions and gets them bitching to their friends about me, which further amps attraction and makes the sex better after I yell at her for being a bitch about it.
3- The main focus I want you to look at with this video, which I glossed over, is that the brain STOPS exerting energy to create charisma if you show it that there's some other way.
Understand that to generate charisma EXERTS ENERGY and that your brain WILL NOT DO IT if it thinks it doesn't have to.
Another example of this -- the combination of marriage and a steady job.
How many guys do you meet who have mad charisma and swagger and are also married?
There's obviously a few bad asses out there, like Jay Z who is married to Beyonce -- but again, he doesn't have a steady job, rather he's paid to have swag.
But for most guys if you don't NEED to maintain swagger, you lose it.
The problem with using money and prostitutes to get laid is that you lose your swag.
Then you start RATIONALIZING all this stupid shit to "stay the course" of not having to pull girls using your personality.
It's just overall extremely dumb. I've never seen a single guy do this and not have some sort of negative effect from it -- and I have MANY close friends who do it, and I love all of them, but I know that they'd benefit from going back to cultivating swagger and pulling girls by their own personalities.
4- You should always earn as much money as is needed to make you happy, just do it FOR YOURSELF.
There's the benefit of being able to travel to more places to pick up girls. and doing bottle service if you aren't capable of getting into difficult exclusive clubs.
But overall you wanna think of money as something you do for yourself, not to bribe user-girls into sleeping with you.
You have NO IDEA how many chodes I see trying to use cash in Los Angeles and NOT getting laid. They buy bottles and are surrounded by "bottle rat" chicks all night, then go home alone.
You're in the club looking at the guys at tables THINKING that they're in a sweet position, but in reality bottle service is the biggest bullshit fantasy I've ever seen. Promoters get girls to go to their tables, but the guys wind up not getting laid, just sitting there thinking "I'm so glad I went to law school, FINALLY I have all the attention from the girls... Hey wait a sec, why is she pouring my drinks to that ginger with no table! I hate that guy! Wait, she's leaving with him?! WTF?!"
:)
<>=============================<>
Next up I go into a common rant that I give to my friends, which is "Why I've had so many novel experiences, and why so many people miss out".
Basically I think that while we want to believe in ABUNDANCE of opportunities, we have to TREAT each opportunity as if it is SCARCE.
I have a strong sense of urgency with any opportunity that I see, and treat it as if it will never come back. This is not only the attitude that I attribute all my life experience towards, but also to all of my success.
My general view is that you are LUCKY to have ANY OPPORTUNITY AT ALL and treat it as if it is SUPER IMPORTANT.
YES you want to view women as abundant, fuck tons of them, and hit up girls all the time.
But EVEN WITH GIRLS, while you want to make out with them and fuck them like it ain't no thang, you also want to follow up hard with numbers and pulling so that you get laid.
Play the whole club, but when you lock onto a girl you're going to fuck, MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Anyway this attitudes permeates my entire psychology, and you can probably sense it from my regular postings here on RSDN!
Have a look at the video and you'll learn a lot! I posted it last week on Youtube and the response has been tremendous! Thanks!
CLICK THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW TO LEARN THE SECRET TYLER USED TO HAVE A TON OF LIFE EXPERIENCES!
Lastly I wanted to mention that you should focus on what I say about being broke and FINDING A WAY.
Once I'd decided that I wanted to have a lot of experiences, I was WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE to do what I wanted to do.
I was willing to sleep on floors, dig up the cheapest flights, skimp on food and sleep, because I knew it may be my only chance.
You've gotta decide what you wanna do in life and FUCKING DO IT!
There's never an excuse. Honestly, if I'm gonna be real with you here, I'd say that if you can't find a way to get what you want out of life -- super pathetic.
I've never accepted that standard from myself -- all I accept is non stop work to make happen what I wanna see and do! I couldn't ever imagine not being competitive or aggressive enough to do whatever it takes otherwise. :)
Hope that makes sense!
<>==============================>
So hope you enjoyed this week's installment, and next week you can look forward to the last Maui video from Papa's wedding another another relationship based video that I shot with gasping parents around at the Orlando Disney Magic Kingdom LOL! :)
HIT ME BACK WITH COMMENTS ON THE TOPICS OF MONEY/HOOKERS AND HAVING NOVEL EXPERIENCES! I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, AND I'LL HIT YOU BACK!!
I've got some really fun stuff awaiting me this evening so I'll get out of here, and thanks very much for reading and watching the vids!
Have fun and talk soon!

The second video is awesome! I need to think of the scarcity of opportunities to do amazing things. I need that urgenecy to be more successful than I am today. girls are still pretty abdundant tho, have to internalize that idea no matter what happens.... :)

Anyway besides the intensity of your presence in that video, I guess it hit me especially hard since I am someone who has a lot of opportunity and views them as abundant, but constantly make excuses not to go for them a lot of the time, and on some level I know my life could get a little crazy if I start capitalizing on them -- but crazy in a good way, and that's what I need to focus on.
2013, time to get messy. What a perfect way to start the year. Thanks brother.

Here comes a buying drinks question:
What do you think of turning the not paying rule in to a gamey crutch? Personally I'm a drinker, I might make a focus to go out sober in the future but right now fuck it, I drink in the club.
I'm also focusing on moving girls around at the moment. I'm low level intermediate, fucking awesome at opening, chatting, getting flakey digits. Flake rate has gone down a bit in the past few months and I'm hitting it off with girls at a higher level than before but still no lays, very rare make outs. My leading sucks shit essentially.
As a drinker taking her to the bar is a great excuse to isolate from cock blockers/moving her and I'm just starting to play with it. As far as I'm concerned paying for a wine or beer or basic vodka mix etc. is no biggie. Do you think not paying for a single drink (before at least a makeout) as a dogmatic rule can make one look clueless sometimes?
...Or am I being a mark ass trick? ;)

I'm not sure if it completely correlates to my situation, but because of my "abundance mentality" (not really abundant as I'm not getting results with chicks)... I sometimes pass on girls/don't push hard enough... Although logically I know at this point it is better to get with any girl.
Rationalizing that "there is always tomorrow/next night".
Or like how I'll skip a night rationalizing "oh, I'll go out next time"...
Or if there is some financial opportunity... "oh, I guess this is not the right time... I'll just take it slowly..."
Hm... success barrier? Playing not to lose vs playing to win and grabbing the opportunity when you see it?

I'm out with my buddies I love to approach and game. If I'm alone and the girls I'm approaching are not really freaking hot or I'm super horny then it's just not fun.
Why can't I just enjoy what I'm doing?

I have a buddy who is all talk about what he's going to do in the future, and how his life is going to pan out. He is so arrogant in his assumptions that he will achieve what he is going for, that he leads an ego-based life, where he deludes himself and others into believing that he has already achieved his goals. For example, he is very intent on going to the gym and getting a better body. He is kind of bulky and has a barrell chest, so he gets a lot of comments on his chest from women.
He literally wants to approach guys on nights out just so he can give them advice on gym and pulling, even though since he decided he wants to go to the gym he has probably gotten in even worse shape, and he rarely pulls himself. He always has an excuse to be "off diet" and his off diet days consist of eating as much junk food as possible. It's like he's always waiting to start something, waiting for the right opportunity to come along when the conditions are perfect, instead of just diving head first into it and making some real progress.
I have a £50 bet with him that I will beat him in a 100m sprint in the summer, even though I go to the gym and squat 3 times a week (squat strength is highly correlated with sprint speed) and he intends on doing no training for it at all. I'm hoping that this will be a humbling lesson for him if I beat him.

The "looks" issue has always been a lot more dubious (I obviously have strong opinions on it based on my personal experiences) but with money there is NO QUESTION it not only is not a factor, but generally shifts the girls' headspace into "provider program" where she makes you wait longer for sex.
You're right that urgency is important! URGENCY!!!! LOL

The thing of people being pathetic is honestly pretty hard to watch, but I get that everyone's different so try to just surround myself with likeminded people as far as wanting to do new things, and let them be who they are!
Tyler
So true, rich dudes/high status dudes I know can get dates with hot girls all the time, but the girls string them out forever if they have no pimp skillz and they get pissed when I take these girls to chipotle and end up banging them at my parents' house! lol.
and yeah, it's totally pathetic how lame 99% of people are. They always say they're down for an adventure or doing something crazy, but then you call them the day before and they make up some bullshit excuse because they're SCARED of new experiences.
Life really is a hell of a ride. Grateful for every day

Oftentimes though the things you assume are basic are pretty novel to other people, and that's what makes you able to explain them so well is cause they're internalized.
What island are you going to? My best suggestion: ENJOY the resorts, but do FULL DRIVES around the circles of the island. That's the main key -- just take the rental car and drive loops around the island, it's the shit.

I REALLY DO think that most of the time we totally delude ourselves to think we'll have another chance. I view RSD as the biggest opportunity of my life and take it extremely seriously, so that if it ever fucked up on me I could fully say "Well I did everything I fucking could to make that work...."
I think we really gotta treat everything with a strong sense of urgency, or else inevitably fall back into autopilot routine.
We're brought up to think that we want to do all these adventures, but comfort zone is what we really want unless we FORCE ourselves to get outside the box and do cool shit. Then when we do, we're always psyched we did it!
All the shit you see me doing, I always "Don't feel like going / doing it..." when I first get started, then when I'm there I'm happy about it.

The drinks thing is some weird social convention but it never remotely comes up for it AT ALL!
You're not fucken COURTING these girls, you're just their friend and a fun guy who they may wind up having sex with. Don't turn it into some weird try-hard emo romantic shit like feeding her wine or some silly shit LOL!
If she wants to drink she can get it her damned self! You can be making out with some other girl OFF THE OPEN if you learn game properly, no need to ever court their attention AT ALL! It's just a 10 dollar conversation! :)

Flake rate has gone down a bit in the past few months and I'm hitting it off with girls at a higher level than before but still no lays, very rare make outs. My leading sucks shit essentially.
As a drinker taking her to the bar is a great excuse to isolate from cock blockers/moving her and I'm just starting to play with it. As far as I'm concerned paying for a wine or beer or basic vodka mix etc. is no biggie. Do you think not paying for a single drink (before at least a makeout) as a dogmatic rule can make one look clueless sometimes?
...Or am I being a mark ass trick? ;)

I'm not sure if it completely correlates to my situation, but because of my "abundance mentality" (not really abundant as I'm not getting results with chicks)... I sometimes pass on girls/don't push hard enough... Although logically I know at this point it is better to get with any girl.
Rationalizing that "there is always tomorrow/next night".
Or like how I'll skip a night rationalizing "oh, I'll go out next time"...
Or if there is some financial opportunity... "oh, I guess this is not the right time... I'll just take it slowly..."
Hm... success barrier? Playing not to lose vs playing to win and grabbing the opportunity when you see it?

There's always a temptation not to spend the 20 minutes to record a vid out of laziness, but if you tell yourself "I'm enjoying fucking all these girls FOR ME and I don't need to record it for Hot Seat" or "I go to all these places but I don't need to record a video while I'm here cause I can just enjoy it FOR ME" then you're not going to be able to fill your programs!
At that point, why instruct at all? Cause the programs ain't gonna fill THEMSELVES! :) Conversely by wanting to share your adventures people appreciate the good energy you're sending out and your programs are overbooked.
I have a video on the topic of hitting up non attractive girls...

I'm out with my buddies I love to approach and game. If I'm alone and the girls I'm approaching are not really freaking hot or I'm super horny then it's just not fun.
Why can't I just enjoy what I'm doing?

Good you're getting your own shit together!

I have a buddy who is all talk about what he's going to do in the future, and how his life is going to pan out. He is so arrogant in his assumptions that he will achieve what he is going for, that he leads an ego-based life, where he deludes himself and others into believing that he has already achieved his goals. For example, he is very intent on going to the gym and getting a better body. He is kind of bulky and has a barrell chest, so he gets a lot of comments on his chest from women.
He literally wants to approach guys on nights out just so he can give them advice on gym and pulling, even though since he decided he wants to go to the gym he has probably gotten in even worse shape, and he rarely pulls himself. He always has an excuse to be "off diet" and his off diet days consist of eating as much junk food as possible. It's like he's always waiting to start something, waiting for the right opportunity to come along when the conditions are perfect, instead of just diving head first into it and making some real progress.
I have a £50 bet with him that I will beat him in a 100m sprint in the summer, even though I go to the gym and squat 3 times a week (squat strength is highly correlated with sprint speed) and he intends on doing no training for it at all. I'm hoping that this will be a humbling lesson for him if I beat him.

i wuz out the other night, spoke to some buddies, i realized i was out of state, with flu.
But since i spent money and effort to get in the club, i thought about 'urgency' and opportunity - decided to speak to at least 1 girl.
1. i was drinking my beer standing next to 2 girls for about 5 minutes - hesitation: maybe coz i was out of state..
2. i eventually moved in, but i said 'can u watch over my beer for a while while go toilet? - maybe this was chode behaviour as opposed to being congruent and getting blown off - internally when u try to talk/shake hands and people just ignore/turn their backs - it spoils your state - thats why i tried to ask them to 'watch my beer' to appear more 'casual'
3. However the girl in a rude voice shouted 'why are u placing your beer here? u wanna pay for all my drinks? - the other girl was quiet. I stumbled to the toilet in drunken stupor. when i came back to take beer, the quiet girl said, 'take ur beer and go to ur place'...' i leaned over to say 'ur friend is very rude' and walk away, but i felt a sudden push, and before i knew what was happening i wuz out of the club - the bouncer shoved me out saying i wuz disturbing the girls there. i didn't even touch those gals, and how did the bouncer just swoop in and push me out without asking me what's going on? I think the rude girl must have complained to the club bouncer when i wuz in toilet.
As this is just my second sarging it was tough on me....How to deal with alpha males-bouncers etc who pounce on u when u barely start talking to a girl. They seem to be hovering everywhere around gals in clubs - this event made me think day game is way better as the gals more relaxed and there are no bouncers around!
ur thoughts tyler!

Ive always consciously tried to spot opportunities when the come up and pursue them hard. Actually when I get my mind set on doing something I go after it like no other mutherfucker.
Ive got an opportunity now to fund a year backpacking around the world, problem is it would mean leaving the job which has been my dream job since I was a kid, a job I love despite its downsides. I think it would be cool to travel and see the would but after the year I'd be fucked careerwise, because jobs like Ive got never come up anymore (seriously, not being negative). I could get something, but no way near as enjoyable as what Im doing now.
Ive heard that a lot of people that go long term travelling just get bored and jaded with it, and then they also get depressed when they have to finish there travels, so maybe it's not worth doing and I should just stick where I am.
Other problem is that I have a hardcase background, which I guess is what pushed me forward to achieve things, but it also means I'm not sure how well I cope with traveling, I guess I should be ok but its a worry, although in the long run it may actually help me and be good for me to go and travel.
Basicly, Im not sure if the good/rare opportunity is for me to be doing my dream job as I am now or to take the rare chance/opportunity to travel the world for a year?
Be great to know what you think?

What's cool though is because there's such a high expectation of "perfection" in my mind about this pickup shit, I end up trying to shoot for some "gangster extreme" which might not even exist for 90% of the guys.
I guess this is why I will only take advice from you or Julien. I only trust that you 2 are actually "on that level" that I want to strive for.

These two topics resonate with me on an extremely deep level. For the first 9 1/2 months of 2012, I fell into the trap of needing to have loads of cash. Thinking I needed to make thousands of dollars to travel, dress a certain way, stay in big hotels, eat fancy food, be fit, etc. Which lead me to stop everything I was doing (meeting girls, gym, nutrition, etc.) to focus on my online business and get their the fastest way possible. Stayed home all the time to work, no social life and basically living in autopliot as you said.
I thought of reasons why I couldn't go out to nightclubs, meet girls, travel, etc. I couldn't meet girls in American nightclubs because I'm 20, wasn't in college, etc. I wanted to travel but didn't have a stable income. Believed I needed to be in shape for girls to be attracted to me. I allowed these reasons to hold me back thinking once I made thousands of dollars then I could start living the life I want.
One day I realized 2012 just flew by and I did absolutely NOTHING with my year. Here's when scarcity played a huge part... I pictured myself 10 years later doing exactly what I have been doing and it scared the living shit out of me. Scarcity shifted my attention to find solutions instead of allowing the problems to hold me back.
Where I am right now?
I'm living in Borlange, Sweden with a friend I met during my one semester of college. No stable income but still working on my online business. Spend money on train tickets, eat cheap fast food, putting all my expenses on my credit card piling up the debt, travel to Stockholm every weekend to go out with the RSD guys, running around nightclubs with lack of food and sleep, stay on miniature beds/couches/floors and sometimes pull an all nighter at Stockholm Central to catch my train at 9:45 AM. Had only one friend coming into Sweden and now made a group of life long friends with RSDNation members and met hundreds of girls.
This lifestyle is pretty rough, but god damn I enjoy every second of it. I love the fact that every day and night is completely different from the next. Whenever my days continue to be the same day after day. I just want to get out there and have adventures.
On Christmas day, I was planning to stay with a RSD guy for a week to go out every night. The last train leaves within an hour. Didn't hear back from him so I asked another RSD guy if he was going out that night and he did. Was I coming to go stay home even though I didn't know where I'd sleep? Hell no. With only 10 minutes remaining I run to the train station with a heavy ass backpack. With 2 minutes left, the ticket machine wouldn't accept my card. I jumped onto the train anyway. When I got to Stockholm Central (btw didn't pay for my train ticket :] ) I've been told I cannot stay with him. Here I am stuck in Stockholm for a week with all my things and no place to stay. At the last minute, two RSDNation members come to the rescue let me stay with them and I had an awesome week full of adventures.
You are spot on right with the mentality of doing whatever it takes to make it happen. I did whatever I could to start living the lifestyle I want and HOLY SHIT the life experience I'm getting right now is RIDICULOUS. I take a lot of pride in my lifestyle since very few people at age 20 aren't doing what I am. Not only that, but I've learn to appreciate everything I get and have. One of the RSD guys offered me his bed, but I refused and slept on the floor because the fact he let me stay with him is already greatly appreciated.
Thanks for everything Tyler! Hopefully one day I'll get to shake your hand and thank you in person for all you've helped me through. Very scary to think about where I would be now if I didn't find RSD. I sure as hell would not be in the position I am in now.

I have a crazy idea-recommendation regarding what you have said a couple of times -and people have reacted to- of paying people the expenses to get outside of their reality.
Now, I KNOW that one has to work for things to really appreciate them and RSD´s message is all about that.
However, I think that you could give away a bootcamp.
The lucky student could agree to give something back, like some hardcore testimonial shit (like a before-after documentary or something along those lines) or to accomplish some things to ´pay back´ for the opportunity.
There are many people looking for easy handouts, but there are also people who will really change their lives and are now on the treshold of achieving it. I think there can be a way of doing this in a revolutionary way that would push the envelope of what self developing companies do right now.
I think it´s not a bad idea.

OTOH, if you make girls pay for a beer and split the cab ride home, because you think she needs to give you sex first for you to reward her, you are a fucking idiot and you have no common sense or social intelligence.
If you don't have money AT LEAST for a cab or a beer(or water if you don't drink), make money. Or kill yourself. I have way more respect for the rich guy with the hot prostitute.

It's also funny because you mention how your 'buddy' was trying to snack on your other buddys girl cos he stopped going out. I had a similar experience when I went on holiday in September, I was speaking to tons of girls and my buddy(who barely goes out, always has excuses) kept interupting and cock blocking, trying to get himself some action. He later denied this but it KEPT happening. We're no longer friends, I cba for that shit.
Anyway Owen.....
Peace, and nice job. Thanks a lot!

The hardest part is not getting sucked into the hypnosis when you're out of state, cause you want that easy solution that'll gel with your logical brain...loved that point. You look at a table of drug dealers and they don't have to be a charismatic best version of themselves to get laid, they can actually stand around and look MAD and still have girls around them.
Hey dude you made a video about alcohol as a state crutch, I'd be interested to hear what you have to say about money and status as a crutch. Alot of guys use a table with all their boys and the female attention it brings to pump their state, then get laid off that. Any thoughts?

at begining of dec 2012 I got invited to be the best man of my best friend marriage in another city, I gave up, coz travel around brazil at this time is MORE expensive than go to outside countries..
so, 14 days after already quiting the request to be the best man, and ONE day left, another blondie friend send a inbox msg in facebook, saying that I could stay at her home in sao paulo... that we should go.
The only fly ticket that i found was going at 3am to get there at 6am and go for the cerimony at 9am everything in the same day, without rest... I buy the ticket and went there anyway! and the funny thing was, my girl friend was **TERRIBLE** at giving me directions, I had to walk dangerous desert raining street, homeless people, (and one thing that i hate the most: walk by with LUGGAGE looking L O S T.. -which is terrible at dangerous places- i do my best to avoid that) WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE DA FUCK I WAS GOING, but I made it.
Went to the cerimony, the couple was happy had fun, but when it comes to come back to my city, the fly ticket was EXTREMELLY EXPENSIVE, travel to my city at the end of the year is massivelly expensive, it's ridiculous. so, I went from sao paulo to rio de janeiro by bus, 6h travel, wich is waaaay cheap, spend some days there, and then travel back at dec 30 to my city, salvador.
While I was going left and right, looking for directions, seeing the signs at the streets without NEVER being there before... was an self amusing experience... like 'shit,,, I did this ALL BY MYSELF!"
;D
my back up reference exp. was - fuck it, I already traveled the world as a crew member from cruise ship company, now I will do by myself (remembering the day that me and 2 friends got COMPLETELLY LOST in amsterdam at 4am and walking CLUELESS at streets... - damn only now I noticing HOW much storys i have to tell!)

Once a pattern is established people get into it. Difficult to get back..but worth it.
Thanks for the vids!
