Everything Comes to an End

and everybody how are you guys doing it's been a while since we've done a live stream so in fact it's been since uh tail hook uh about three weeks ago so I just thought I'd catch up with you guys um got the guitar here so before we get going as always if you're not already a subscriber click the button and ring the bell and become one so you don't miss anything so before we get to the topic at hand this is for the guitars out there so Keith Richards guitars for the Rolling Stones is great because he uses alternate tunings a lot so alternate tunings will set you free so this guitar this Les Paul Standard is currently tuned to open E so what you might know is a normal guitar in 440 what we call is top to bottom e a d g b e that's how you would tune a guitar now this one is tuned to open e which is e d oh let me try it e d e g flat and b e right so that's right so it sounds like an E chord basically when you strum it open so see if you recognize this song and let me tell the guitar uh the camera down a little bit here Okay so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] so we know what song that is right got it yeah Ben you got it Rick's got it all right so now that's that's open E right so that's what makes that song so powerful if you try to play it with standard tuning it it sounds bad all right so let's try this other guitar now this one is tuned to open G so this is the Rick Rickenbacker so open G so again instead of e a d g b e this one is tuned d a d well let me make sure it goes no it's it's D G d b d okay so that's what it sounds like when you just bar it okay so here's a song you know [Music] [Music] right so that is open G so alternate tunings will set you free that's the bottom line here all right so I titled this episode and uh I know a lot of guys are wondering what the heck's going on and uh so it's about all things come to an end but things also begin so basically my adult life is five chapters and I want to talk about each one of those very briefly I'm going to try to keep your questions in my scan here thank you my good friend Rick beato for the Super Chat and Rick is factors into this story as some of you know there's our good friend Tom butwin is here he's the creator of the outro theme you guys know it's a brilliant melding of The Who and Top Gun I thank Tom quite a bit for that it's become the signature end of every episode um so five chapters the first one is basically the root note of this channel which is which is Naval Aviation so I was lucky enough to be able to fly Tomcats as my job for you know the majority of my 20 years of service you know certainly six 16 of those 20 years here's a picture of my original rag class um some notable folks on there some of them are no longer with us um the front row third from the left kneeling is Matt Colombo Punk's Wing has dedicated to Matt he was killed in the back seat of an F-14 doing an air show practice his wedding invitation was on my kitchen table when I got the news that he had been killed his Pilot was also a good friend of mine a guy named Bill Davidson who was a year ahead of me at the Naval Academy in my company um top row fifth from the left TJ Ruffo is also no longer with us uh TJ uh died during routine surgery hernia surgery he died in post-op and uh he was an amazing guy um and uh kind of a the informal leader of us all I had known TJ since the first day of plebe summer he was the guy that looked over and said hey we got to know everybody's hometowns what's your hometown he was that guy he always knew the gouge but the thing that was unique about this rag class is all of the Rios in the class were Naval Academy classmates um and uh the guy front row third from the right kneeling Bill Sizemore he was top stick I was top scope we got to shoot our first missile together and then we came back in the break at 500 knots which is something that you don't do at Oceania anymore those those are the the good old days if you guys remember the secret program behind the secret Program episode I talk about the guy I flew the constant Peg missions with front row all the way to the right is Fred Knox call sign truck he was the guy who said when we got back from that hop he was the guy who said I think there's something else going on besides just the migs so here's another rare photo this is me on cat or we're behind cat 3 on the John F Kennedy doing uh isn't quite an alert five it's more like an alert seven I'm flying with the skipper at the time uh Commander vodka Gamel he made Admiral later um and he and I flew a lot together so this is in vf32 so chapter one was you know a great chapter I got to fly airplanes I got as I've shown you guys before my logbook right here and did all kinds of cool jobs the Navy was very good to me as we say in that they let me fly a lot and uh you know you can see the plaques over here of all the various fighter squadrons and and KAG Ops so at the time I had my final cat shot in the late winter of 1998 I was KAG Ops and I got to fly back into the fly-in with vf-102 and I was actually in kag's back seat and so um I didn't know at the time that that would be my last cat shot the the last carrier Ops I was ever going to do I knew I had orders to the Naval Academy as my follow-on short tour but I I did not know that my carrier based life was was over so you know as I think about it now I I don't know what I would have done differently taking more pictures had the cat officer take a video of it something else to commemorate the moment but at that time I was thinking about getting home to see my wife and and and Sons you know at the end of um a long deployment uh I I didn't think about well maybe some years later I I would have the occasion to document this event so I finished up as I've said before at the Naval Academy teaching and during the course of that I finished uh a a book which you guys are aware of so this is the hard cover version of Punk's War published by the naval Institute press back in 2001. little did I know how much this book would change my my post Navy life so more on that in a second so chapter one Naval Aviation documented it on this channel uh a number of times but my point is that when that came to an end it wasn't like an exclamation point I didn't realize that that was I'd never go back to an aircraft carrier um so now chapter two is I'm a government spokesperson for the v22 program now this was a job that I took what I viewed as sort of a day job because now because of the success of Punk's War I was under a multi-book contract a multi-book deal with penguin Putnam to write Punk swing punks fight and then the two um other books in my in my fiction uh roster which is the aid and militia kill so I viewed this job with the v22 as just a day job because writing was lucrative but not quit your day job kind of lucrative and uh you know I thought at some point I'd be able to be a full-time writer but in any case I worked on the v22 and these were what we call the War years of the v22 program meaning I got there fall of 2002 and I was there for three years until the Milestone three decision in 2005. Milestone three is when the airplane is approved for freeway production so it went through Apple Valley and the other things so when the airplane was returned to flight it had a terrible reputation which it had quite frankly earned through a number of high visibility crashes that killed 30 Marines so there was one in the desert of Marana during a training exercise where they got into the high rate of descent thing basically the airplane was in deep stall lead airplane hit everyone was killed Trail airplane the pilot recognized the situation and managed to roll in the sales Fort in time to just hit enough to save everybody's life the airplane was was damaged uh Beyond repair then some months later at New River North Carolina pilot mismanages a warning light and basically keeps putting the prop rotor pitch to Zero by trying to punch out a light and flies into the swamp Four Guys killed at that point the program was shut down add into that there was some maintenance malpractice and other command malpractice at the Apple Valley Squadron vmmt 203 or was it 204 um and so the airplane shut down and the idea is that it's going to be canceled but the Marine Corps being a very powerful organization with a lot of powerful folks who are interested in ways forward kept it alive so long story short it was shut down for two years I come back right as the airplane is returned to flight as the spokesman for this airplane that has a terrible reputation so during the three years that I was on this program it was basically a master's if not PhD in defense acquisition and procurement which I knew nothing about I'd just been a fleet guy I'd never been at the systems command there I wasn't a test pilot guy I never really dealt with industry except the tech reps from Grumman before there was Northrop Grumman there was Grumman and Hughes who made the ognine so that's all I knew were those guys those subject matter experts who would come and tell us okay you need to do this or tweak this um I had never dealt with industry at the corporate level and so v22 has two prime contractors Bell and Boeing Bell sleepy little company that built the Huey that was kind of their thing in Boeing a company that was pretty much state of the art and so they came together and did a little cross-pollination and and figured out how to make the v22 into a fleet asset so got to see a lot of that when the Amarillo Factory came online I was right there got to fly the airplane uh got to deal with the both the developmental test team and the operational test team vmx 22 with Pluto Walters then a colonel later the assistant commandant for Aviation as a three star so my point is is that job was a lot more than I thought it was going to be like I said I entered into it thinking oh yeah just a day job so I can keep writing but it was really an amazing amazing thing to see how that airplane was was proved out life got to fly it later which is my next chapter uh which is because of this book came to the interest of a guy who founded a little website called military.com which Remains the biggest military Affinity site on the web I met Chris Michael through we were both on a hiring committee at the naval Institute to pick the new CEO back in 2003. and Chris was amazing so it was Chris and me were the Young Guns put on that panel with three Admirals two retired including Stan Arthur legendary Vietnam era world war or Vietnam era A4 pilot who was later Vice chief of Naval operations so as Emerald Arthur Admiral beers and Admiral Nadder who is still on active duty as sinclan Fleet so I was amazed by the questions that Chris would ask the candidates who wanted to be the CEO of the naval Institute and like you know who is this guy who was a standard Naval aviator who is now worth quite a bit of money and has founded this this fledgling website so in 2003 the internet was still kind of new right this is pre-social Media so fast forward a year and I see Chris again at Admiral Mullins change of command when he was taking over as the CNO and I worked for everyone when I was CAG house back on George Washington remained close to him remained close to him to these to this day so we're at the change of command at the Naval Academy and I run into Chris and he goes hey you got to come out to San Francisco uh because I want to talk to you I had never been to San Francisco so I took him up on the offer in 2005 because the v22 program once you had the flow rate production decision it was instantly not a controversial program so as the spokesman my phone stopped ringing the job was getting a little boring and I was not interested in just having a day job so I wound up going to San Francisco and Chris made an offer and so we were not interested in moving to San Francisco turns out that Chris only needed me out in San Francisco for one week a month and sometimes two like during Fleet week or whatever and I was put up in the Palomar Hotel which was right across the street from militarydops.com's headquarters on 4th and Market 799 Market at that time military.com had the entire seventh floor of 7.99 Market Palomar was right across the street so that was my home for the time I was out there and considering some of the boqs that I lived in over the years in the Navy this was really top shelf stuff Chris was a Patron and a citizen of San Francisco he knew how to do that City and so I was introduced to San Francisco we were major sponsors in Fleet Week San Francisco which was a really fun time and he also taught me through kind of tough love how to make the internet grow and work and it had little to do with my the fact I had you know so many hours in the F-14 that didn't matter and so that was my MBA so once I got my legs under me we were growing that site and then social media came online and we embraced it podcasts I was an early adopter of podcasts I had a gen 1 podcast called from the editor's desk and I got to talk to all kinds of people um you know John Petraeus Stephen Colbert authors rock stars like Rick Nielsen and so forth and so on and uh had a fantastic time at in that job and and really did start to learn how to be a DOT Comer a very unorthodox thing for a guy with my pedigree again this is a function of this book pivoted my post-navy life in a way that that is unorthodox um I was able to go to Afghanistan for a month in 2010 and embedded with the 101st Airborne and then I went down south flew the v22 with the Marines at Bastion and hung out at camp leatherneck and we came back and our last evolution was to do an interview with gentleman Crystal I went there with my managing editor Christian Lowe um and uh our last evolution was an interview with General McChrystal ironically just a few weeks before he was fired for that Rolling Stone article um and it was interesting because his paos were bragging that they were talking to us you know this little old military.com they're like we'll talk to anybody in fact a couple of weeks ago we talked to Rolling Stone magazine so um little do they know how that would play out at that time so like all good things that came to an end Chris and his partner and leftmilitator.com the parent company hired a retired one star to to take over and uh you know it just it it to be candid wasn't as fun as is when Chris was there and so I soldiered on and eventually I got the opportunity to continue in the.com and leave San Francisco and go to Hollywood literally Hollywood where um I worked at a startup called we are the mighty so some of you may be familiar with we are the mighty we are the mighty was founded by two MTV alums and they were interested in starting a military Affinity property and they hired a marketing guy who had been the VP of marketing at military.com West pointer who said you've got to get Ward and the timing was great because I was ready for a change after nine years at military.com it was time for something new and so this was my first no life startup experience and so we were literally first office was in a Hollywood Boulevard it was like that Welcome To The Jungle Guns and Roses video where where Axel gets off the bus am I back sorry guys sorry about that I lost you I didn't eject I just the internet has been wonky here at the house uh as it were um super groups are are tough um and so um wound up leaving after two years at where the mighty fantastic experience startup experience and I took over a website here in Annapolis a military spouse website um and then prop that one up for acquisition and ironically that site was acquired by task and purpose um so I I didn't want to work for another parent company so I wound up entering the fourth chapter of my working life which is accepting an opportunity at the naval Institute now I've spoken about the naval Institute a number of times here on the channel it's a not-for-profit that has been around since 1873 and uh they published the Punk's War of the original Edition the the first time back in 01 um I've contributed to proceedings magazine which is their Flagship magazine eight times on active duty uh had been a member of the naval Institute since 1989 but I'd never been on the staff so you know kind of been an adjunct member of the staff but never been on the core staff so now I'm on the core staff doing a whole bunch of jobs marketing and Outreach which allowed me to go out and talk to the fleet which was a blast and also um uh got to uh to talk to mids a bunch and started the internship program and a one of the extracurricular activities that we work on for the name for the Naval Academy so it's just a really rewarding job and that I love it when the organization you work for has a mission that's bigger than you if you look at the issues of proceedings from 1874 until now um you've got all the bylines of the names on the buildings loose nimmins Mahan rickover they've all written for proceedings for the year so that was an amazing and amazing sort of opportunity but now during the course of this um I was I met a a guy who maybe some of you know um named named Rick biato and so Rick is a varsity Major League YouTuber and his channel has more than I'm trying to put up the uh the asset here there we go um his channel as you can see has 3.1 million subscribers um and we became friends because I followed his channel um we started chatting via text and then he he actually was in Annapolis and we realized we're brothers from different mothers and so while we're sitting there at mcgarvey's here in uh Indianapolis he he asked me why do you do so much Twitter why don't you have a YouTube channel um and I said well I have a YouTube channel but it's kind of a repository for family b-roll you know my nephew's eating a chocolate egg at Christmas time or dog show videos of uh you know my wife handling one of our dogs over the years or whatever and he he says well you need to see if you can't have a YouTube channel I'm like well what do I do I don't I don't know what to do he goes well just talking to your phone I mean literally talk into your phone for 10 or 15 minutes so I started that and and some of my early episodes um I was doing all kinds of stuff like you know have you been gerrymandered right I I realized that my district which is this one in the center this this thumbnail um was ridiculous shape it's the Maryland Third District they call it a smash spider right and then I I did this thing about um you know America hacked by Russia and I was doing some other odds and ends like here's how I play guitar as a sort of a chord banger here's how high I had my first novel published um and and etc those kinds of things then nothing was really catching on it was actually uh you know moaning to Rick that it doesn't look like I'm gonna be a YouTuber because uh you know 40 people per episode is not really setting the world on fire um and and then um I I did the episode in the middle of all these and I've showed this thumbnail before called the truth about goose and the F-14 or no it's called the truth about the F-14 and Goose's death so it's just me you know um you know as you guys have seen in a couple episodes it's just me holding this model and talking about the Tomcat flat spin characteristics and how Goose didn't do step seven of the Bold Pace bold face procedures which is canopy jettison then real command eject right so you guys remember that one so it sat there for literally I mean I posted that one originally about Christmas time um in 2000 and 20 right 2020. it sat there and so I'm doing some other episodes about you know the transition between administrations and and different stuff and again I did a thing about the West Point cheating scandal which was my big biggest one it had 1400 views and at that time that seemed like a lot and then um I uh was was just soldiering on I was pretty prolific you know doing about three or four episodes a week no post-production just before I was using any post-production software iMovie or Final Cut Pro or whatever um and so you know it's just me one take Jake uh Thinking Out Loud for upwards of 20 minutes and then finally in mid-april of 2021 without me doing anything I start getting these notifications that the Goose's death episode is starting to be viewed a lot in fact on April 18th of 2021 that episode was viewed 90 000 plus times and so I call Rick and I'm like what is going on and he said um well this is what I told you would happen at some point um the algorithm not human beings but the algorithm will figure out what's your subject matter expertise is what's your lane and so it's this is what has happened so I said what do I do now he goes well the audience gets a vote and and now I know you're trying to do a lot of things at once but I think you're now going to have an aviation channel so that was great that was actually great news um thanks JT for the super thanks your Super Chat appreciate it all right I guess this is super thanks right um or super yeah Super Chat thank you JT appreciate it um and then to answer the question I I would love to I'm a big fan of growling segment I know uh his name came up a lot uh with the final dogfight analysis episode uh so yeah I'm not I'm not opposed to that uh and we'll we'll do something for sure you know I'm still in the process of getting my act together um fully in in DCS uh but yeah we'll we'll definitely do some uh so as you guys have seen I started doing you know a rapid fire uh creation of Aviation content starting with Tomcat stories right and so the first major big deal Tomcat story that that I had is actually my first million view episode was this one right the real truth about Carol Hall Green's F-14 Tomcat miss out now in in doing this one first thing I do when I think about doing an episode is I type in the title or the key keywords care whole green mishap into YouTube to see what other people have done and make sure I'm not doing something that's wildly sort of redundant and in the case of this mishap there was one episode that was it sounded like a computer voice you know it sounded like a a a an Asian voice and it was animated and the animation was wildly inaccurate uh it showed the airplane doing a straight in it did not show any of the actual things that happened so based on that I was like okay let me just try my hand at explaining from a fleet aviator's perspective uh what what happened here and so that was the first episode that as soon as I hit public it was a rocket ship because a YouTube content creator has what we call the back end where you can watch in real time the views and it's amazing and nerve-wracking so basically and this is a gross generalization but in about 15 minutes you know if you have something that's going to be above your normalized curve what Rick calls the hurricane it's like a projected path of a hurricane so that's like our Max and R min envelope that shows you know it's this axis is fused this axis is time so it shows how your trajectory is and you can tell early on and sometimes uh you have an episode that is a slow starter here's a good episode this one was a dog out of the gate and literally a month later it became a rocket ship and now it's one of my highest uh you know it's 1.3 million I think is how many views it's had right and this is another example of how I've opened the aperture of subject matter uh and and sort of tested the the Waters of viewership to see what you guys will tolerate me talking about quite frankly right so um as you as folks have been with me from the beginning and basically when I posted that Goose's death episode I had eight subscribers and uh in short order um you know I had a hundred thousand and I have my my what we call the play button for a hundred thousand it's I'm very proud of that plaque right here he's on my I love me wallets I'm as proud of that as I am of of my Squadron plaques um and uh so and you don't get another one until a million right so um I got a ways to go for that if I ever get there but this growth was just amazing and and so as you get that sort of affirmation and you guys have been fantastic with the comments the comments are 50 of the equation in YouTube and I've had commenters comment on the how erudite my community is and I concur 100 you guys keep me honest um you know it's generally productive I also have tools to jettison people who are unproductive I want to keep politics out of it um I I want to uh keep it productive are there some things if you type in it just won't show up um so if you're wondering why for instance let's go Brandon doesn't show up it's because I've put it in the back end if you type it in it just won't show up um so and other things again I'm not taking one side or the other uh I'm just saying that this channel is about a celebration of military Aviation starting with the F-14 Tomcat carrier Aviation all Aviation military Aviation and then the other thing that you've allowed me to do is is Venture into things like history and so I can talk about Air Force greats like Robin olds which uh that was a lot of fun to research him I wish I'd had an opportunity to meet him if not work for him and then some folks that I've known for a long time like Sandy Winfield to be able to you know do kind of a de facto oral history of of his his life his career is just kind of a gift that's why this forum is very important to me um and I'm not going to Hazard it uh and you know Rick and I sometimes we're brainstorming on what else could we do and it was his idea to do something about area 51. but as you guys know from my episode about Area 51 this isn't a sensational there's aliens at Area 51 if you do the research on what actually is the the Genesis of Area 51 it's an amazing story about two airplanes and black programs the U2 and the a12 which later became the SR 50 or 71. right so um and that episode did well and I'm again I'm proud to not be Sensational but just be sort of matter of fact and historical about why Area 51 existed just like I was able to do with the Tonopah and the secret program behind the secret program I've done some listicles that we call you know here's the all-time uh greatest fighter airplanes or here's the 10 aces of aces I'll be doing some more of these coming up and then the current events like uh you know the war in Ukraine has allowed me to do some episodes uh where I can give my two cents about what's going on there um this episode surprised me by how many views it had and as you guys who are regular viewers know we've been able to have some subject matter experts like David ax and our good friend Justin broncon and it's been amazing to uh you know make him part of the channel we're going to have him on uh you know uh Coming Attractions he's going to be on on this coming Monday um we'll do an update about the war and Ukraine we'll certainly talk about this uh 300 000 of you know draft and what is this doing to the occupied regions uh the separatist regions and where is Putin now as a function of these and what is happening domestically in Russia as a function of this draft um really uh interesting stuff and as you guys know Justin always has a an amazing and a very Sage Outlook he's he's smart Beyond his his youth as we know um and it it turns out I'm probably going to get to meet him in person here he's going to be coming to DC uh before too long and that'll be amazing and we'll do an episode when we're uh face to face so as a function of of all of these things the growth of this channel I've and and this has been more protracted than maybe my other chapters in terms of the dismount you know so as I said chapter four was working at a not-for-profit the naval Institute um as a as a director of a few departments there a labor of love I owe the Netherlands to lot and during the course of that I actually started this YouTube channel both because Rick said hey you should try it but also it was a proof of concept to grow the naval institute's YouTube channel quite frankly and employing Rick's best practices things like thumbnails things like titles not click bait you know because you guys won't let us get away get away with clickbait but titles and then killer content that keeps folks watching because the algorithm will punish you punish the Creator if you're doing clickbait so let's say I do a title like this one where you guys thought I was going to quit the channel right that's that's kind of why you would you know click on something that says all things come to an end um and so what I'm what I'm really talking about is chapter four has come to an end chapter five which is mooch as full-time YouTuber is just starting so basically my last evolution as an employee at the naval Institute was tail hook a couple of weeks ago um and uh quite frankly my presence at the booth net it out as a negative because all of the folks there wanted to talk about the channel um and they didn't want to talk about the naval Institute so um next year I'll have my own booth at the naval insta at tail hook so uh you know keep your eyes open for that if you're in Reno I'd love to see you uh it's not just for Taylor members the tail convention is open to all all comers it's an amazing Gathering of folks but um that was it so now I had a very cool going away event at the naval Institute they showed top gun Maverick in their brand new theater complex there um with Dolby sound it was an amazing uh viewing and a lot of the folks on the team had not ever seen it before and then we had a nice reception so that was my Dismount completely so now I'm fully focused on creating YouTube content and the other things around it I'm going to do more editions of the mooch report for my patrons so if you're not a patron consider becoming one you can become a patron for as little as one dollar five dollars patrons get all kinds of cool benefits like Zoom happy hours every Friday afternoon eastern time we have folks beaming in from New Zealand and Germany and we Endeavor to solve all the world's problems every week it's a great Gathering and then we do muchapaloozas or in-person events where I get to meet these folks that I've only known virtually and that is an amazing phenomenon as well these people have turned out to be some of my best friends uh these days so it's really really rewarding but the bottom line is I just want to thank all of you for giving me this opportunity to have a YouTube channel and to make it my full-time focus and I will not take that for granted we've just started and so what we want to do from this point forward is deeper Dives we want to get it even more right I will not do clickbait I will not be Sensational I'm not Mr Beast you won't see a frenetic massive amount of edits and bright colors and I won't scream at the top of my lungs so I know some people like this guy's boring well I'm just going to kind of keep it straight down the middle it'll be mooch talking about something that generally is of consequence and me giving my interpretation or me explaining why or teeing up the history and we've had a great run to date if you had told me a year and a half ago that this would have the opportunity to do this that I would close that chapter and open this one chapter five I would have asked you how that is at all possible but now that I have the opportunity I'm not going to take it for granted so let me look at a few comments here um so again thanks to you guys thanks to American War Horse for the Super Chat thanks to addicted do I know Ned Smith I don't know Ned Smith um I apologize for that so you know these live chats are amazing because of of you guys um I want to do more of them more often again I apologize for the wonky internet um they worked on our internet out on the telephone pole uh you know in front of the studio and it hasn't been uh right since so you know thank you Xfinity thank you Bernie keep up the great work great video appreciate that consideration thanks to bad weather biker how about you guys try to play some Robert Fripp guitar well Rick is good enough to do that I am not as you can see I'm just a glorified cord Banger now not to get ahead of the process but Rick and I uh intend to do an episode on his channel um of uh doing as he does what makes this song great um we're gonna do a deep dive on the two Top Gun soundtracks um so that'll be on his channel coming up not sure when it's a matter of us getting our calendars lashed up as you guys may know I was on his Rick piano 2 channel uh last year about a year ago um and we were talking about 10 perfect albums so if you haven't seen that episode on his channel check it out that one's a real fun one um so um I guess that's it for now I I appreciate this has been a huge turnout um I really appreciate you guys uh showing up and adding your thoughts uh again more to to follow as I said we'll have Justin broncon on Monday I just did an interview with Hill Goodspeed the editor of hook magazine as I said at the outset he does 100 Years of aircraft carriers that's a cool episode um in about 45 minutes he goes through the first hundred years of uh of of uh the aircraft carrier U.S aircraft carriers so it's very cool um Chris says you have access we don't how about take the channel on some hops with hurricane Hunters Arrow reviews right on Osprey interview the crews love that idea rock on bro we will do that no doubt um so gonna that's gonna happen more and more right it'll be mooch on the road um I got my road rig just like you saw uh interviewing nasty and bio at at Taylor if you if you talk about if you look at the production value from tail hook last year to this year um you know it's orders of magnitude better and we'll just keep getting better and better until I'm doing seven camera shoots uh with a crew like we used to do at we're the mighty uh that seems a long way off and I'm kind of liking the Lo-Fi one man you know one video kind of thing so far but we'll we'll keep it growing
