AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 6-30-2025

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime Streaming Show where we watch old 16mimeter films. And uh hope everybody had a great weekend. Uh it was very hot and uh we moved a bunch of films. Uh, but we still have lots more films to move. So, hello everybody. Welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime. All right. Sorry, did not mute myself. Anyhow, uh speaking of of films, uh we used uh the Incline Plane family a lot this weekend and um let's learn more about it. Enjoy. Anyhow, uh speaking of of films, uh we used [Music] Many centuries ago, men were able to construct great buildings using only the simplest of tools. The engineers of the past were able to erect impressive temples and public buildings because they had learned to make use of many simple machines. One of these machines was the inclined plane. [Music] The ancient Egyptians built their colossal pyramids with the help of the inclined plane. They lifted the huge stones into place by dragging them up sloping piles of sand. For the Egyptians had discovered that it was a lot easier to push or drag an object up a slope than it was to lift it straight up. Let's find out just why it is easier. For our experiment, we'll need a half-finished pyramid and someone to take the place of the Egyptians. We'll use Mark, for he wants to know more about inclined planes, too. First of all, he's going to build up the pyramid by himself. He soon discovers that lifting a heavy concrete block is hard work. He'd find it a lot easier if he had a machine to help him. So, let's give him a plank. Yes, an ordinary plank can be a machine if it makes a job easier. If he puts the plank at a slant, Mark will have made an inclined plane. For an inclined plane can be any flat surface that has one end higher than the other. Mark will find the work a lot easier now that he can push the heavy block up a slope. It's easier because it takes less force. We'll prove that it takes less force in our next experiment. We'll need a board for our inclined plane and a brick to take the place of the concrete block, a spring balance to measure force, and of course, Mark. The brick weighs 6 lb. So, if Mark lifts the brick straight up, he has to use a force of six lb. Now we'll see what force it takes to pull the brick up the slope. With the brick being supported by the board, we only need to use 4 lb of force, 2 lb less than when the brick was lifted straight up. But how far do we have to move the brick each time? If we lift it straight up, we move the brick about 14 in, which is the height of the books. Using the inclined plane, however, we have to move the brick well over a yard. In each instance, the brick is raised 14 in above the table. And although we needed less force when we used the board, we had to move the brick a greater distance. What happens if we use a shorter board? This time the slope is naturally much steeper. Now the force needed to move the brick has increased to 5 lb. However, this time the brick has been moved a much shorter distance in order to raise it to the top of the books. Now watch what happens when Mark tilts the board even more. As the board goes up, it supports less and less of the weight of the brick until finally when it's straight up and down, the board doesn't take any weight at all. And the force needed to lift the brick is the full six pounds. In our simple experiments, we've talked about force and distance. Multiplied together, they make up work. It took six pounds of force to raise our brick straight up to the top of the pile. If we use a plank to make our work easier, we only have to use a force of say 5 lb. But we have to move that force through a longer distance. If we increase the length of the plank, we need even less force. But we have to move the force a still greater distance. As you have seen, we always have to do the same amount of work. For as the force that we use gets smaller, the distance that we have to move it gets bigger. However, although the amount of work is the same, it's still a lot easier for us to do this work if we use an inclined plane. These movers are using an inclined plane to move a heavy load. They found from experience that it's easier if they take it up a ramp. A wedge is another type of inclined plane. The thin end will go into the wood quite easily. And as the wedge is driven deeper, the sloping sides gradually force the log apart. Like the wedge, an axe is merely two inclined planes joined together. The point of a needle and the blade of a knife are also wedges that are made up of inclined planes. A common example in nature is a hill. Obviously, the shortest way to the top is straight up. But when the hill is too steep for us to climb, we build a road that goes up more gradually. Of course, you have to travel a longer distance to reach the top, but it takes a lot less force. This wood drill is very like our winding road. Here's the gradual slope of the inclined plane winding its way to the top. Our hands aren't strong enough to press the drill through a 1-in piece of wood. But if instead of trying to push it down an inch, we turn the drill round and round many times, then we will have the force that we need to cut through the wood. Like the winding road, we've had to pay for the force that we needed by moving that force through a long distance. All types of screws are inclined planes. Let's do a little experiment that will show this quite clearly. The pencil has a piece of paper wrapped around it just like the spirals of a screw. If we unwind it, we get a perfect example of an inclined plane. With a simple screw, we can hold two pieces of wood together very tightly. With a screw jack like this one, one man without much effort can lift up the end of a heavy truck. The inclined plane, the simplest of all machines, has been in use for centuries and has helped to make our work easier in countless different ways. As a ramp, it helped Mark build his pyramid. and it helped the movers load their truck. It can take the form of a wedge or it can be one of many different types of screws. There's hardly a moment of the day that we're not putting it to use, even if it's just for fun. Woo! [Music] Heat! [Music] So, it was Mark that built the pyramids. It wasn't Egyptians. It wasn't slaves. It wasn't aliens. It was Mark. He did it. Uh so we're on a little bit of a encyclopedia Bratannica kick. So let's watch uh this film about southeastern states. And what's interesting is that most uh encyclopedia bratannica films had like some sort of academic adviser and this one was at UNC and I've never heard of him before. Uh so enjoy. [Music] This is the familiar look of the southeast And climate and soil are its two distinctive features. The subtropic to temperate climate and the potentially productive soil. The southeast is also a place of large natural river systems, the highest mountains east of the Rockies, rolling hill country, blueg grass country, and even rock plateaus. But geographically, the region's chief distinction is its warm climate and abundant rainfall and its growing season, longer on the average than any comparable area in the United States. The southeastern region is one of the six major regions into which we may divide the United States. Politically, it is marked off into 11 separate states. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Arkansas. It was in the southeast that the first permanent English colony was established at Jamestown, Virginia in6007. It was to the southeast that the first negro slaves were brought a few years later. Many northern colonists moved into this region as land grew scarce at home. White settlement was accompanied by a steady flow of slave ships to the southeastern ports. Gradually a plantation system developed. New lands were cleared for tobacco. Cotton spread across the south. Cane prospered in the delta. And land northwards was planted in corn. This produce was shipped to market by flatboat and later by steamboat. Cotton had become king. But by 1860, the basically wasteful one crop system could not compete with the growing industry of the rest of the nation. The economic and political conflict could not be settled except by war. For the southeast, a whole way of life suddenly changed. Along with much that changed, much remains. The landmarks are still there. Washington's Mount Vernon, Jefferson's home at Montichello, the monuments to Lee, great general and educator. Today, an expanded and mechanized agriculture is still the greatest single occupation of the southeastern people. About onethird of the total population live by farming. An equal number outside the cities who do not farm are classified as rural non-farm. There are four major farming sub regions. The subtropical fruit belt, the truck farming belt, the mixed farming belt to the north, and the great central cotton belt. The subtropical fruit belt includes the huge citrus groves of Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and the cane and rice fields of the deep south. From the truck farming belt along the entire coast, vegetables are now shipped to local markets and to markets in colder regions. On the uplands of the mixed farming belt grow corn, small grains, peaches, apples, and other fruits that have long characterized the southern Appalachian area. Here, too, cattle are raised. The cotton belt, however, is still the most extensive sub region. Although the south no longer depends on this cash crop, it is important as a source of cotton cloth and cotton seed products. In addition to the plantings of cotton, winter wheat and corn are the tobacco crops. This leading southeastern cash crop has been a major product for more than three centuries. [Music] But the grip of cotton and tobacco economy has been loosened throughout much of the southeast as seen in the strong trend toward livestock, dairying, and poultry raising. Another major trend has been the decrease in the number of tenant farmers and a corresponding increase in the size of the average farm. In many parts of the region, the soil is impoverished. Erosion and excessive rainfall have taken a heavy toll. But crop rotation, soil building crops, and enormous quantities of fertilizer have helped restore the soil's fertility. Altogether, the Southeast's major agricultural activities provide the livelihood for 9 million people. Once periodic floods of the Tennessee River and its tributaries ravaged the countryside. Now they are controlled by a great system of dams, which also supply electric power, essential to the industrial and urban growth. Much of the southeast's industry is based on its own agricultural products and natural resources. Textile mills, the biggest industry, attract 1/4 of the region's industrial workers. Here, cotton from southern soil, is woven into cloth used throughout the nation. Although textile manufacturer was once a New England monopoly, today the Southeast's cotton spindles greatly outnumber those of the Northeast. Cotton seed has become a valuable industrial byproduct, yielding vegetable oils and one-third of the nation's protein meal feeds. The region's tobacco crops supply its factories, which turn out the world's largest number of tobacco products. More and more foods grown during the long season are processed locally before being shipped to northern markets. The forests are still a rich resource in the southeast. From these forests come logs to be converted into furniture, lumber, and paper products. Into the steel mills of Birmingham flow southern coal and iron from nearby sources to feed the furnaces. Here, deep in the south, is the source of roughly 10% of the nation's annual output of iron and steel. Aluminum wear is among the newest southeastern products and Arkansas's mines supply about 90% of the nation's boxite, our biggest domestic source of aluminum. The Southeast provides a growing market for the goods of other regions. As a producer, the Southeast sends out cotton both in unpressed bales and in the form of finished textiles, cigarettes, cigars, and pipe mixtures, vegetables raised on its truck farms, fruit from its upland orchards and subtropical citrus fruit farms, lumber, furniture, and aluminum. Into the southeast flow goods from the other regions. From the northeast, machine tools, small manufacturers, shoes, steel, locomotives, and investment capital. From the middle states, automobiles, farm machinery, and wheat products. From the Northwest, metals, wool, and wheat. From the far west, motion picture films, seafood, certain fruits, and vegetables. From the southwest, cattle and petroleum. So in what it sends out, cotton, tobacco, fresh and processed fruits and vegetables and forest products, and in what it receives in turn from other regions, the Southeast reflects an increased balance of its industry and agriculture. The pattern of rural and urban life has changed, and yet sections of the southeast retain much of an essentially rural style of life. The farmhouse in the fields, the cabin on the hillside, the small country school or the newer consolidated school, the local country store and gas station, the church down the road, the courthouse square on a Saturday afternoon. In contrast with this pattern, an urban way of life has developed in the southeast. In cities like Birmingham, Richmond, and Atlanta, this fairly recent urban way of life is seen in the homes, in the schools, the churches, in the size of shopping districts and tourist facilities, in the industrial activity. The trend to the city continues. Already there are five cities of over 300,000 and 15 other cities with over 100,000 people. But the southeast today is known for the region where new techniques and diversified farming have revitalized agriculture, where industry coming into its own has harnessed the power of rivers to create new sources of revenue for the region. There are continuing problems and yet there are new promises for all. The South has assured its future by providing education through public schools, colleges and state universities. These benefits have reached the entire population, raising every standard in the region. the Southeast. 31 million Americans living and working in a region of long tradition, of achievement, and of great promise. [Music] Yeah. So, there was some UNC footage in there. Uh, that um little blue domed thing is a well. um which uh many a frat person has peed on. Uh all right. Uh what else do we got coming up here? Oh, okay. So, this one is interesting. This is um the topic is a little weird. Uh it's it's about preeis. Uh so, babies that are born too soon. Uh and this is like a guidance film uh to help parents who have this as a potential. And um yeah, so it's uplifting. It's not sad. Uh enjoy. Oh, I remember when I was a teenager, early teens, I thought that eight kids would be nothing. it would be wonderful to have all these little children cuz I came from a small family and to have a lot of children and it would just be fun and games and the station wagon and the whole bit and I thought it was going to be easy. Until 6 and 1/2 months I really would have uh commented that pregnancy was effortless. Uh I couldn't believe that it had gone so easily and that why not sign up for 10 more. Uh my attitude has changed somewhat over the past six weeks. I was somewhat apprehensive when I was pregnant with Robbie, but I was assured by my physician that I was everything will be okay. And I was happy about being pregnant. [Music] They thought it was going to be easy, but the awful reality threatening these women and many others is premature birth. A baby born too soon, long before the full 9-month term. [Music] Prematurity is the major obstetrical challenge of the 1980s, but until recently, it has been a losing battle. For decades and despite all efforts, the nationwide rate of prematurity has remained a stubborn 7%. It causes the death of up to 90% of all otherwise normal babies. And many who survive face problems which plague them all their lives. [Music] But a breakthrough came at the University of California in San Francisco in an experimental program funded by the March of Dimes and headed by Dr. Robert Cesy is that if there's an underlying anomaly, the risk is increased. The success of the program depends on the constant involvement of doctors and nurses with the patient. It also requires the earliest identification of women who may be in danger of having a premature birth. But as so often happens, you don't find out about that until after she's pregnant. Uh we introduced the program uh in early 1978. In 1979, we had a most significant reduction uh down to about a third the number of pre-term births that we were having before. And in 1980, roughly about half the number of pre-term births that we were running before. Bed rest is an essential precaution for patient Gail Weaver at risk of having a premature baby because her mother was given the drug dees when she was carrying Gail. When we established uh that we were pregnant in late January and we went in shortly thereafter for our first visit. uh the history that's taken on each individual woman is then subjected to a scaling system uh to see whether according to certain factors in in one's life uh one might be termed high risk. I had enough of those factors to cause me to fall into that particular classification. Well, we look at a number of different risk factors. Some of them are socioeconomic such as um whether or not you may be from a very low or a low socioeconomic group. We look at the age. We look at your previous medical or obstetric history. Uh whether or not you are a dees daughter. We also look at what's going on in your lifestyle. Do you smoke? What type of a job do you have? Is it a stressful job or not? And we also look at what may be going on during this pregnancy itself. And what we do is each of these different factors are giving a given a score and we take each of the factors and add them up and if they do come to um up to 10 we do consider you to be at risk and being deescal it is considered a perhaps a higher risk factor than perhaps your socioeconomic status the way we look at the factors here and so it's not a 10 automatically or No, it's five for dees and five for the uh T-shaped uterus. So, that is actually Where's my 10? That's your 10. Okay. What I'd like to do is have you lie down. Can you lie down for me? Let me just put this out to support your legs. Okay. Because I'm hoping to create a contraction when you do lie down. Okay. If you find they're coming every 10 minutes or closer together, you give us a call. Many women have no idea what a contraction really is. Many women associate labor with pain. I think the biggest element is teaching them correctly to detect contractions. And this is one of the most important parts of the program is teaching them the signs and symptoms. Your feet, right? Okay. Okay. Let me help you up. All right. Dr. Cesy really wanted to know everything you felt. wanted you to call him all the time. One of one of the cardinal rules that you just didn't break was apologizing for bothering him or any of the doctors. Dr. Cesy ordered immediate hospitalization after he received an urgent call from Linda Brown, who was having early contractions. Hi, Linda. Hi, Dr. Creasy. How are you doing today? I'm feeling much better since the the contractions have have stopped. Have they really stopped completely? Well, they're a little better. Are you having any more of those little tightenings that you were having uh before you came into the hospital? Every once in a while, but not very often. Not very often. When can I go home? Ah, the famous question. When can I go home? Well, what we'll plan to do is if your uterus stays nice and quiet on the oral pills today, then out the door and home back to see me in a week in the office. Okay. Now, the only thing is you're going to have to take the pills every 2 hours or 3 hours or every four hours round the clock, day and night. Mhm. Well, how's the baby? Is the baby okay? As far as I'm concerned, your baby's just fine. As long as I'd like to keep him inside that uh tummy of yours for another what, another two months or so. Okay. And then if we can do that, then I think we've got a really healthy baby. Okay. Great. Okay. That's right. Going home means endless hours of constant bed rest, an annoying but necessary precaution that demands the husband's full cooperation. I think I'm in a stage now where it's uh it's reaching a peak of frustration. I'm normally a person who's terrifically active and that's demanded both in my job and in my personal life. And I've had to relinquish a great deal of the control over both my personal and professional life. It's hard to turn from being a very independent person to being a totally dependent person. Well, it's been very difficult uh just logistically. I've had no appreciation up until this point or very limited appreciation of what it's like to coordinate a whole household. Did you get to the bank today? Didn't get to the bank today either. Tomorrow maybe. And the tires have not been changed. Uh the post office. I haven't gotten to the post office either. In fact, I haven't gotten to any of the things that were on the list, which I seem to have lost. For the Weavers, all the bother, worrying, and waiting was worth it. Gail went full term and delivered a healthy baby girl, but it was touchandgo in the final stages. At the beginning of the seventh month of our pregnancy, uh when we were having difficulties with pre-term contractions, the doctors prescribed ritin, which inhibits uh contractions and helps to stabilize people who are experiencing preterm labor difficulties. I was put on the ritadrin and took the uh the dosage every four hours, morning, noon, and night uh for for 12 weeks uh two and a half days before Jessica was born. and I had ceased taking the uh the ritadrin and of course we attribute uh Jessica's birth at almost 38 weeks to the fact that I was on a steady program of bed rest which was complemented by the ritadrin. The fact that we've had such a positive outcome makes me a staunch and firm believer in everything that we learned as part of the preterm program. Luke Duke, huh? Thanks to the new Creasy program, Jerry Dto also had a healthy child, Anthony, the last time around. She was not so fortunate with her oldest son, Nicholas. Born prematurely before the program got underway. Nicholas suffered neurological damage. He is warm and affectionate, but slow for his age. His birth made his mother all the more concerned when she got pregnant again. And so, she joined Dr. Cesy's program. I'm one of these type of people that doesn't like to bother anybody. So, they really had to pound it into me at any time, day or night. You call us and you get in here, you know, you've got that baby's life at stake. By the time um I delivered Anthony, it was at 36 weeks. So, I had been held off for 10 weeks. Um 10 very important weeks. Um I was relieved when Anthony was born. He was a perfectly healthy baby. He got to come home with me, you know, in the set amount of time, 3 4 days. it that to me was like a story book, you know, it was it was a fairy tale. He was all mine. And it really brought to mind to me the contrast between the two deliveries and between the two births and how important it was to hang on as long as you possibly could to to have that healthy baby. Look at what's this. Laura Reky is another mother who knows firsthand the difference made by the Creasy Prematurity Prevention Program. She is one of its strongest supporters. Can you tell me what that is? Tuba. It's a tuba. That's when you look at a baby like Robbie who was born at 26 weeks is suffering from, you know, cerebral pausy will suffer for the rest of his life when I was so easily controlled on bed rest and oral medication. I took one little itty bitty pill every three hours and it made all the difference between a lifelong suffering and a healthy little girl. Allison wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Dr. Cesy. The fact that the March of Dimes is funding Dr. Cesy's program, I think Wonderful, wonderful. As a result of Dr. Creasy's success in reducing prematurity. The March of Dimes is testing the program in five other medical centers to see if it will work nationwide. One place is Nashville, Tennessee under the direction of Dr. Frank Bow. Well, Miss Mack, you do have a higher chance of having another baby prematurely because you've had one before. And therefore, I would put you in what is called a high-risisk group for having a pre-term pregnancy. Well, what should I do if I notice anything wrong? You might try to lie down for a little while, 30 minutes, no more than an hour. If it doesn't change, if your contractions don't go away or you still have symptoms, then you're to call and we will have you come in right away. We'll be examining you. We will be looking um mainly for signs of premature labor and hopefully if that's what it is, treat you early enough. Do you think the baby will be okay? And I will be. Oh, well, I certainly hope so. So, I'm excited about this project because finally we seem to be doing something about this problem that has been uh in existence ever since I started my training and before then. The delivery of of premature births is something that has not changed over the last 10 15 years that we've kept reasonable data on this. It was 8 to 10% 15 years ago and it's the same today. If it works, it'll be one of the most exciting preventive medical aspects that I've seen since I've come into the field of obstetrics some 15 years ago. The parents in Dr. Ces program have not forgotten that the March of Dimes made it possible. They come together with their children in San Francisco's Walk America for the March of Dimes. They are joined by nurse Marie Herren who saw them through the program. Hello. Do you remember Gordon? Gordon, you remember? How could you forget? The greatest satisfaction comes from seeing a couple take their baby home after they've given birth rather than to have the baby stay in the intensive care nursery for a month to two months so that the baby can grow. And I I know of a lady who turned and said, "Out of all my seven children, this is the first baby I've ever carried out." And I think that that was that's where the satisfaction comes from. You feel like you're a part of these women's pregnancies, the couple's pregnancy, and it's a very rewarding feeling. There's nothing more I could say. [Applause] Being born, given the chance to walk your own way and to leave your special set of footprints on the sands of time. Being born, given the chance to choose your mountain from all the other mountains you could climb, that's what life's all about. But if you still have doubt, just hold your baby, then let him go. Watch him sit up and watch him grow. He'll take a step and then he'll run up. You'll ask him a question and he'll answer it and you'll see him smile. It makes it all worthwhile being born. Now we're there at the beginning when you need us most of all. The March of Dime. The March of D. The March of Dime. [Music] So maybe if I got like a perm like right here and like had it kind of clumped out and then kept this just a little wavy, maybe I could have that doctor's hair. Like that was really something. Um, beautiful curly hair. His mom was so proud. Um, wow. Thanks everybody for sharing stories about your births. Um, you know, I'm sure we all know people uh in including ourselves who maybe had um some complicated birth stories and um I'm happy that you're all here to be with us. Uh all right, this is a Canadian film uh only because I saw I know this because I saw the credits and they were all thanking people in uh Ontario. So, here's companions. Enjoy. [Music] Animals are just part of life if you've been brought up with them. Uh they're just a natural sort of addition to the family. If you've had animals all your life, you don't you don't think of them as anything but just an extension of family living. The society started this program of visiting senior citizens nursing homes in November of 1980. It was brought about originally by the fact that I'd seen on TV from the United States similar projects run by organizations such as Humane Society down in the States. And uh I had talked to our managing director about it and we had thought about starting this program up and by sheer coincidence at that particular time we received a call from a young lady who was a director of activities in a local nursing home and uh she asked us if we were running any program like this and we said no we weren't but we were we were strongly thinking about it so we decided to um start uh such a program. [Music] I know before they had such stringent laws. I used to take an animal whenever I went to visit in the home and I didn't have to speak. I just entered and everybody converged on me and I, you know, I was practically knocked down in the rush for the dog. So that now they when I see no pets on the door of these homes, I really worry. Who wants the big puppy to hold? You want to hold the puppy? These people are now at the stage where they're in a home and I think they miss them. I think that plan of the animals coming to visit them, it's just terrific. I don't want to kiss. I don't want to kiss him. No, you don't want to kiss him. Oh my god. [Music] You lick my finger. Baby, don't you smile, baby. I have to hold you. Oh yes, you can. Hey, no. I was talking to you. All over the building. [Music] [Music] Just to hold an animal reminds you of so much. Older people miss them so much because they're part of home, especially as you get a lot of country people in homes. I loved horses and I loved all animals. Oh yeah. I had dogs. They were big. Scotch collie farmer. farm without a dog. Lady lady, she's just the same as my lady. I like animals. Was born in the farm. I was farmer all my life. No, we never had a cat that color, did we? We went in for black cats, did Edward. And then the other one we had was Lawrence Tibbitz. because he's saying so well. You're purring. I hear you. I hear you blonde. You're blonding. One home did it. And something happened in the home. It became much more alive. [Music] He's comfortable, Dary. I think he's going to be a big one though. If I was home, I would bring him with me. [Music] Well, it's a very lost feeling. I know between animals, and this often happens when one dies, you feel totally lost and you come home. part of the life has gone out of the house because they're always so pleased to see you even if you've just gone to the corner grocery store and uh there isn't that enthusiasm. The house is quiet and uh you really miss it. It's much more than TV or radio or anything else. It's a living thing that is happy to see you and it makes all the difference in the world. [Music] The more I hear about apartment living, it seems that you're more separated from your neighbor than even when you're living in a house because you protect your own privacy and therefore when you come home, you're not coming home to anything. The 4:00 and 5:00 returns are pretty dreary in the winter. Without an animal at the other end to say, "Hello, boy. I'm glad you're back. [Music] Yeah. One uh old lady was very keen about her dog and her nephew took him when she had to go into the home and she couldn't come out to see the dog. So, uh, he decided that he would get that dog in no matter what. So, he pretended he was blind and they never knew he could see all the time he visited his aunt and, um, he would come in with the dog following the dog. He wasn't seeing eye dog at all. He was just anxious to see his mistress. And so, in they went and they had a lovely time. And then out out they came again. And so, she was happy to know the dog was all right. The other day I met Leverne and Shirley and they were two of the plainest cats I've ever seen and they were wearing colors and they were walking down the hall of a home and they were having a pancake party and Shirley Leverne and Shirley were as much a part of that party as the people were and you know everybody was looked so pleased to see them and they looked pleased with themselves. It was really very nice to see that happen. It wouldn't have happened two years ago. Go and visit Going to You're going to be big lad, aren't you? Yeah. Going to be big lady, eh? Look at the paws on it. Look. You're going to be big big lad. Yeah. Yes. Are you lonesome? Oh, you better stay here with me. You better stay for a minute. You better stay for a minute. There you are. There you are. Where was your Boy, daughter. He's a real cute one, right? Yeah. Here you are. [Music] I back off it. I always back to what is in England. We got no track racing in England. We got over the sticks as we call it over the jumps and we got the ordinary flat racing. But I raced all my life. I used to race put my winners out when I was good at school. Um so I thought for a bit of fun I do them here on my life. I had two winners and a second yesterday. I seem to just have a um flare for picking the horses or something. I think the first off I had first money I had off of them was $68. Oh yeah, that was a bit of fun. To break him in your life, couldn't it? Oh, I brush her every morning. That we brush her coma. Yeah. Oh, she's a proper little powder paw. Just knock off and keep her clean. That's the main thing. Keep her clean. Yeah. [Music] I don't think there's anything nicer than having an animal to come home to because people say that uh you know the evening and the nighttime are the hardest when there's nobody there and an animal can help fill that void. The comfort of of being loved, whether you're good, bad, or indifferent, is really amazing. Animals never judge. They just accept. [Music] Hey there. Oh, they're so sweet. [Music] I know another woman who wanted to see her dog before she died and they wouldn't let it in the door to go to the bed. And I think that's a crime, but it shouldn't happen. It shouldn't have to happen. [Music] Such a sweet film. Um, I know people who have lost their husbands. Well, so I know women who've lost their husbands and they have dogs, sweet dogs and cats um that um are their friends and kind of help them out. I mean, they have social lives, but they have their dayto-day is with dogs and um they're not old. Um, so I could see it. I totally get it. Um, the unrequited or not unrequited, but the unconditional love of a dog is pretty sweet. Um, cats, you know, they show up kind of, but thank you, Kevin, for uh your d your donation and your kind words. Um, yes, old radios. Everyone in this film is dead. Yes, there's a lot. So, that's kind of a thing. It's weird. Um, I get that comment a lot when people watch the films on my YouTube channel. They're like, "All these people are dead. Wow, these people all must be dead by now." I was, "Yeah, this film's from the 30s." Yeah, all these people are dead. It happens. People die. Um, so it's like, yeah, people also like to talk about a film. They're like, this film was made the year after my dad was born. It's like, okay, great. I don't know your dad, but okay. You're engaging with it somehow. Um, putting it in context with when your father was born. But, uh, yeah, YouTube comments so weird. Like, some of them, you know, are obvious. There's there's very kind ones. There's also critical ones, but some of them are just like, "Why did you comment that? Why did you write that? Like, I don't understand." I mean, with this, you know, the the streaming thing, we're you're commenting because you're engaging with the community of all the other commenters and people watching and with me. So, you're getting a feedback, but someone just randomly seeing something and saying, "All those people are dead." I I don't I don't get it. But uh that's that's the mystery of YouTube. Uh I think uh but hey, I appreciate you guys watching today. I think we're going to cut a little short cuz I need to run some errands. I need to shle some shelves now, some shelving units to the film vault space cuz we cleared off two shelving units yesterday. Um, and uh, yeah, so we'll be back again tomorrow, Tuesday. I very much appreciate you watching and your comments and uh, yeah, I appreciate you guys. Uh, I really do. It's uh, it's one of these things that it has h we've done this for such a long period of time that uh, I take it for granted, but really I I stand back a little bit. and I go like, "No, I'm I'm engaging with these folks and they're really kind uh sometimes a little naughty in the comments, but uh in general very wonderful people." And so, thank you for that. Thank you for your gift of showing up. And I hope that you are doing great. And if not, you're talking to loved ones about how to help yourself and um check in with you. But um we'll see you tomorrow everybody. Take care. I'm scanning some films behind me that we'll watch over the next couple of days. So take care. Love you guys. Bye.
