The Real Live Chat - WordPress with Imran Siddiq

Hey everyone, how you doing? Um, hopefully in a moment it's going to connect up. Screen's gone black, but I think you can see me. Well, I can't see me. I can see me. We're all okay. Um, I actually went live five minutes ago. I was talking and I thought, "No one's turned up. Something's not right here." Like, I haven't even got a single viewer.

And even if people join to view but they don't comment or chat, I understand not everybody wants to chat. There wasn't even a single viewer. And then I realized I'd gone live but I'd accidentally gone and set it to be unlisted, which means I've gone live but no one can see it. Like it's not visible anywhere that I've gone live. And I thought, well, that's a little bit strange. Anyway, I quickly uh closed that one down and we are now live. So, I hope some of you will pop up and be here.

Hey Dave, good to see you, my friend. I haven't been live for a couple of weeks, mainly because there were days when I was going to go live and then uh fellow content creators, you know, Reno or um Jeffrey or a few others, they went live. And I don't always like to go live when others are going live. Um, I may still go live now, even when other people are, cuz I feel like if I want to go live, just go live. But I didn't cuz other people were on and I felt that's a bit unfair. I don't want to feel like it's a competition or anything. But today there was an opening slot so I went live kind of thing. Hey Coffeebot. Hey Greg. How you doing? Nice to see you my friend.

Um, so yeah, haven't been live for a couple of weeks. It it's been a good it's been a good period, you know, uh some new client work. scoping out a project for one of our clients who has had four websites built with us and now we may go on to a fifth one because they've now listened to me where I've said, "one of your websites you need to split out if you want to hit the market better," and they need to expand on the original website with further pages to really drum home the keyword because they're losing um they're now ranked number three for this for some particular keywords in the UK. They used to be number one.

The reason they've dropped down is because they haven't listened to me with marketing and these other two companies where their websites are not as good. I've really hit home on marketing like putting out newsletters with links and stuff um and social media and and if you have a niche area as a business and you put and you have like five or six pages that contain that keyword but you know slightly different um they're not a dentist but I'll give you an example. You could have like a Leicester dentist or you could have like hygiene dentist or you could have root canal dentist or emergency dentist. you're drumming home the keywords. It means that you you're more you're more visible when it comes to Google search rankings and what people search for. And they've missed a trick. I keep telling them and now they've realized because we did an analytics report for them in December. No, beginning of January and then we did another one now six months later and I go, "Look, you're losing traction. You're still getting visits. Your conversion rate is still pretty okay, but you're losing traction because these other two websites are doing more backlinks and they are hitting the marketing. You don't need to spend money on advertising and sponsorship, but you need to market better with your pages and your SEO and all of that.

So, they're now listening to me, which is really, really good. That's probably going to lead onto another web design project. I've got a feeling this one is probably going to come in at 10 to 11,000 or that would be about $14,000 I think. They're not complicated websites but we may be able to push it up because they want to now look at a booking system as well. And it's not your typical booking system with the way they work.

Hey Steve, how you doing? I'm glad you can join 540 in Southern California. I do often forget that you know like sometimes when I'm thinking about what is the time in uh North America I often think of like you know New York and all of that side and Florida and sometimes I do forget to account for the fact that Southern California is like like way still waking up at the moment or still in bed. But I hope a lot of you have liked some of the uh couple of videos I put out uh in the last week or so. One of them was about how you could reorder. In fact, I've actually forgotten what videos I've put out. So, can I just remind myself because I put out some video. Yeah.

So, one of them was about the drag and drop of the ordering of your posts, your pages, and your products and all of that. By the way, I'm sorry it's a bit dark. This light over here needs charging up which um has slightly pissed me off because it should have been fully charged up. And maybe it's because I took the plug out without realizing. So, it's my fault. But drag and drop ordering. I did a video yesterday which was about is it still useful to use code snippets and stuff. And I'll explain why in a moment I did that video cuz some people are like, "why did you do that? Cuz you use code snippets but you called it waste of time." Let me explain in a moment. And then I put out a video today which was based on the Apple liquid glass effect. I don't like liquid glass. I don't like it. But someone asked me about it and I had a look online and there were already videos but I felt the videos were quite complicated. You got to do this. You got to do this. You got to do this. You got to do that. And I thought, damn, all of that work. So I created my own solution with the help of AI and a bit of my own brainstorm thinking which is way easier to implement for your containers or your buttons or your text editor or whatever you want. So I hope you find that useful. I'm just going to just check the comments and I'll come back on to why I did yesterday's video about code snippets.

Donald, any quick tips for getting a significant number of good backlinks? All right, Donald, here's a really cool one. Okay, so I was talking about these businesses that we build websites for and one of their competitors, they were around, they were like uh rank five about a year ago. By Christmas time, they were ranked number one for these particular keywords. How did they go from rank five to one? Now, you might go, well, five to one's not that difficult. They were quite a new website still. And the way they massively improved is they supplied some products to a uh like a uh a race course uh a driving race course circuit something and that racing circuit puts out newsletters twice a week. They have one on the weekend and they have one midweek as well. And what this newsletter did, it's just like a PDF that goes out to people that sign up for racing circuit stuff in the UK, right? This company at the bottom of their newsletter always always say thank you to three or four companies. They, you know, to say, you know, because of them, they helped to supply XY Z. And they always put this company, the the business we supply websites for, and they put their URL link in. So they say thank you to this company that supply this product uh and here's a link. So when you got these newsletters going out twice a week to I don't know quite a few people in the space of a year they'd built up 135 backlinks even though they're all coming from the newsletter right 135 backlinks have been generated up and when then these newsletters which are actually present on their website as well and they get sent out so people must be clicking them and visiting I don't know what the conversion rates for that website. I don't really care the competitor, but they're getting backlinks and that's that's such a a simple way. So, if you have supplied a website for a company and they were really happy with you and you know they put out newsletters or emailing mailing shots to their clients or customers, if they can possibly mention you, that's a super duper backlink which can massively boost up your SEO.

Hey, Chillster. Hey, Lance. How you doing? Uh, Pab, I just implemented your Pix Refiner in my first customer project and it works flawless. Pesh. I said Pishab. I meant Peshav. Sorry, I read it wrong. I said it. I read it too quick. Peshab. A lot of people, not a lot of people, sorry, let me reset, let me rephrase that. Some people that have used a Pix Refiner have had the odd problem, whether it's to do with their hosting, their server, or they got a legacy website with like a million images, right? And it's either too slow, it either skips, or it doesn't work properly. I've not had any problems. And I put it on one of my clients websites. Not really my client, it's someone I've mentored. And their website had something like uh seven, no 4,000 cuz I remember testing it twice. Just over 4,000 images and it worked fine. Took about half an hour, but it did. it. Um, when you put Pix Refiner on a legacy website, there's a chance it might not work properly and you and that's the same for any WEBP conversion tool because it's legacy images, legacy use within your website, things might not work properly. But if you stick Pix Refiner on a brand new website and from the get-go, you're now doing your conversions, you're laughing, mate. You are laughing. You are happy because that website now will basically work so much more better.

Coffeebot, I'm sure you've got a topic for today, but I'd love a little discussion about using AI to help us. Oh, go ahead, Coffeebot. Go for it. Go on. Start it off. Roll roll out what you want to talk about. Um, I mean, panic about AI. Look, AI is going to replace a lot of jobs. All right. Um, will it completely replace web designing? I'm not entirely sure. I don't think AI is that good yet. It could become better, but I always feel like whenever you Hey, Muzafur, I hope you're okay. Whenever we use AI, how many times have you been absolutely happy with what AI gives you? Even if you say to AI, give me a social media prompt. I want to I want to post on social media about Pepsi Max. and it will write your post. Do you literally take everything it gives you?

So, let's just pause for a moment. AI images are getting better. AI videos are getting better. AI agents are getting better. Vibe coding getting better. But creating social media posts, creating little snippets for you to just, you know, like um, you know, give me a prompt about how happy I am today and it writes it for you. That's been like that's like AI 101, right? The chat GPT. It's like the very first thing. And look how we've moved on massively, right? But even then, what you get out of the AI, it's not 100% perfect, is it? You still go, "Oh, actually, I don't like that emoji. Oh, I don't like how it's put hyphens. Oh, I don't like how it's made. It overdescribed it. it was um or it was too loose or it was too fluffy or it was too serious." So you go and tinker and that is where I feel like with web design AI will probably go, "here's the website," but will it deliver everything you want? So won't a web designer maybe still be needed to help you out?

Chillster, you built a website in 2022. Um, you could use Font Lab. Is that website m for which I charge how? Uh okay. Um I mean when it comes to charging right for font clamp and stuff like that um once it's done how often are you going to have to redo it? So I would always say that I would base it on how much time. So if it's going to take me one hour I charge £300. If it takes two hours, 600. So I would look at how much time is it going to take. I wouldn't say to someone, yeah, 50 quid. If it then takes me a whole day, because for a whole day, I'm charging way into the thousands. Now, I like to say that my day is the equivalent of um sometimes close to 2,000 if I'm really hands-on. If it's a leisurely day, then I'll go for a thousand. So I would say you charge how much how much do how how much do you value one hour of your time? What is one hour worth to you? And then you price it based on that. A bit like if I say a web design project is going to take 10 days or 5 days. I start to price upon that. I mentioned the client this morning, not the client this morning, the client whose meeting we had this morning where they're probably going to get another website built by us and it's probably going to be 10 to 11,000, 14 to $15,000 that's based on a roughly five to six day turnaround. So that's the value I'm putting on it. So, you know, like roughly two and a bit,000 a day kind of thing is how I'm basing the time we're going to pop in. Um, coffeebot, uh, oh, Pesha, have you used it with bricks and happy files and it works fine? That's that's the kind of good I want to hear.

Coffeebot, I used chat to write quite a bit of code, but I've also spent a lot of time refining some of that code. So, how useful do you think the tradeoff is in that record? Does it make sense? What you got to think about is um would you have been able So if you break it up Yeah. Uh into stages, you got the AI created the code, then you spent a lot of time refining and reprompting and getting it right. So would you have been able to refine or be anywhere close to doing what you eventually achieved without the AI? And that's what you got to look at. So, could I um design a logo without AI? Yeah, I could go to Canva. I could probably use Photoshop or whatever and draw it out, but I could probably just reuse bits of a um Canva, stitch something together, you know, tweak the wording or whatever and make it work. Could I do that without AI? I could. If I wanted something really clever, I could use AI. And then you have to think about do you have to keep going back to AI to refine it or can I go to Canva and you know edit the text or move it or cut bits out and stuff like that. So I think that um you know some people have said to me, oh I don't like using AI for coding I have to refine it. And I always say, but if it means that you were able to get a head start, that head start may have been the catalyst you needed because without the the the the without, you know, uh that code, would you even have known where to start? And I know I would struggle with a lot of the codes I've written off. AI's massively helped out. Absolutely what Lance says there about the six fingers.

Chelsea, how long would you take to implement bon clap on on an existing website? Okay, so number one, uh is there any existing font typography? So you got to sort that out. Number two, um you got to add in your web fonts maybe. Let's just say. Number three, are we agreed on the sizes? So how much time going back and forth with the client? Uh, number four, um, uh, have they already preset their typography? Was it done via a class system so you can mess around and tweak it? Did they manually go into every single head heading or a text editor? If you imagine they enter manually values into every heading, every text editor, the desktop, the tablet, the mobile, maybe other break points manually. So you go to style and you go yet we'll do uh let's just say fivem then we go to mobile 2mm 1m whatever you now have to go through every single heading and text editor. So you got to you got to then do that then you have to make sure you put the right class in. Then you're going to have to check it and test it out, you know. So I would say very similar to what I said earlier. How long do you think that's going to take? If if I if it was a fivepage website and I was going to manually check everything, I would say probably a day. So, I'm looking at just over £2,000 because then you're going to have to sense check everything as well. Um so I would say you have to determine it based on how is it how is the typography been implemented on the existing website and then how are you going to add in the font lamp.

Lance says, "I'm late to AI but just recently started using it but still limit limit limitedly BS coding general basic frameworks." Yeah. I mean, the thing about AI, okay, and then this is um this is the bit that kind of like gets people a little bit worked up is do we know what our tool of choice is and how we use it. So, I have an iPhone since 2007. I got the very first iPhone. Uh, compared to now it was crap, but back then it was like, "Oh my god, this is the best thing ever." Um, every couple of years I might upgrade. I don't always, but I usually upgrade. So, I I had the free well the iPhone, then the iPhone 3S. No, hold on. The iPhone, the iPhone 3G, then I think it was the iPhone. There was something else. The four. Did the iPhone 4 come after the 3G? I can't remember now. I might get this wrong. It was the iPhone 4. then five, six, seven. And then when I got to the iPhone 10, I didn't upgrade for ages until I got the 15. I literally didn't upgrade because I realized there's not there's not much benefit to upgrading. But what happens is my tool of choice is the iPhone. So even when there's an upgrade or a development, I know what I'm using. I'm not jumping from an iPhone to an Android to a Hawaii to a one to a nothing to a Blackberry to a whatever. Back to Nokia, whatever. I'm not going. Yeah, that was it. 3G. 3GS. I did all of them. I did all of them except the four. Did I do a 4S? I don't think I did the 4S. I did the original, then I did the 3G, then the 3GS, then the four, and then I did the five. I didn't do the 4S, but anyway, um I know what I've got. Okay, at the moment with AI chat GPT changes every so often and you get used to it, you know, and then we had Claude and Grock and all of these others, Perplexity, and there's loads of other tools coming out, blah blah blah blah blah, you know, loads and loads of stuff coming on. What happens is there's a new tool coming out nearly every day for images, videos, uh, social media, content creation, avatars, voice emulators, website design, wireframe. We could go on and on and on, right? We we're we're living in an age now where it is difficult to keep port right every year. So at some point this year we'll get the iPhone 17. Is it going to be that different from the 16 and 15? Is it worth upgrading? They're probably going to say, "Oh, it's got a better camera." But how many of us literally like go to a mountain and we're trying to photograph an an eagle in an eagle's nest 29 miles away and we're like that zooming in the telephoto. How like you know or they go oh really late at night you can get the perfect shot. How many of us are like really late at night walking around going oh I need to get that photo. like really you know so some of the stuff some of the features you get or they go your iPhone or your Android is now you know 0 0.5 seconds quicker really can I say something right okay um of all the features you ever get on the iPhone do you know which which one I I I I really hate is how we still have to do all of this whenever we want to slows down our apps, right? We have to go like that. We have to view them all and then do that. What we need is a single button where I just go click and it closes down all the apps. Save the battery. And I know people will say, "Yeah, but when you do that, it's not updating." I don't care. Just give me a button where I can go look and all of the apps close down. Like Like

They go, "Oh, we now have loads of new emojis." I don't care, right? But the point I'm making is that, you know, like even like even with Mac, right? They'll do an update, okay? And we know about it and then we can implement it straight away or we can wait, okay, and then you update or you update your your phone iOS, right? Or um if a brand new flavor of Pepsi Max comes out, there's a bit of hype, there's a bit of marketing, and you make a decision. Do you go now? Do you wait? You wait to see what other people say. You are always kind of aware, right? Even if there's a new TV coming out or a new movie, right? Fantastic 4. Okay, we know about it. You know who's been cast. We get some spoilers come out here and there. You have a teaser trailer, then another trailer, then a proper trailer, and then the movie comes out and people doing reviews. And we get to stay on board with it. And you make a decision. Do I go in now? Do I wait for it to go on demand or do I wait for it to be on Disney Plus and all of that with AI?

There are days where I'm like, I cannot take this, right? Um I I I've signed into a newsletter called Superhum. uh if anyone is a really good one actually and every day they update you with what's happening and it's really good because it does summarize it quite well and it tells you about new AI tools. The big big problem is even with a summary I'm like what huh? So, what about yesterday? And what about today tomorrow? And what about that tool? And what about this tool? And the scary thing is is like I'm super excited about AI robots, but what the hell are we going to get? Will we trust it enough? Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway. So AI um is great, but it's it just feels like it's getting more and more complex.

And I am sick to death of all of the AI adverts that I see on Facebook and um other social media. This is the best AI tool to do your images. This is the best I AI tool for your SEO. This is the best AI tool for your marketing, for your advertising. this is the best AI tool to do all of these little things for you and hey Phil and whenever you click and look at it you go no this is you know like there'll be you're on Facebook or whatever and there'll be a new advert pop up and he goes you know you know um aren't you fed up of um posting to social media this AI tool makes it massively easier and you look at it and you go no I don't think it does and so many People are jumping on the bandwagon, right? It's like the whole.com bubble, right? Um man, you're right. The AI bubble, you know, um it it's a bit like vibe coding as well, right? Too many people are creating subjective solutions that might only be good for them and then they're being shared out to the world and people are like jumping on and some of them are charging for you to use their service and I don't I don't think they make your life any better. In fact, I feel like they complexicate comp complicate your life even more. I'm not making sense. I don't know.

Well, the thing is, Steve, right, um, if the apps are still open in the background, it is eating into your battery life. I know people say, "Oh, it's not so bad." It still is eating into your battery life. Um, yeah, Lance, drink Mountain Dew now with AI, you know. Oh, it's it's um it's it's getting it's getting way way way crazy. So, Cholster, sorry about the font clamp. I built the website myself. It is elemental textbox design system. I only need to find out sizes formulas. Client is neither say nor idea. They are trusting me. Hey, look, just go just like um normally font clamp I would have priced up within um how I was going to build a website. If it's something you're going to implement afterwards, um, I would charge the client, but they may turn around and go, well, why didn't you do it in the first place? So, you got to, you know, depends on how you approach it.

Um, I'm H98 says, I don't know if it's weird, but I use Canva for prototyping. I do as well. I do. I use my remark remarkable pro notebook over there and I draw out what sketched up wireframes and it works. Um, and I don't use Figma. Now, I'm going to be really controversial here because I I have nothing against Figma. I have nothing against Adobe XD or anything you want to use or any wireframe tool uh rep any I don't have any issue with any of them. Okay. I just don't like to use them because if a if if a client wants me to do a wireframe design, they better pay for it and I I may be charging three, four, £5,000 and they don't often don't want to pay that much. So, I always say that it's it's far quicker if I just sketch out and draw out a design. So, I don't always even use Canva for it. I just sketch out, draw it out. Here we go. Boom, boom, boom. Send a screenshot or a photo of that. Do we want to change it? Do we want to tweak it? They might scribble, send something back. Okay. Yeah, let's do D. And we'll go for that color, that color. Duh. We'll put the image here. We'll have your team over here. And the movement in how quick we can get things done is so super quick. And I I I used to do a lot of pixel perfect designs long time ago. And then I kind of went like that on it. I thought, "Fuck it. I'm not doing this anymore."

Especially when a client comes to me with like a pixel perfect design that's been designed by a designer uh who knows nothing about web design as well or even what widgets you got or how you're going to build it or how the navigate how it would all link together. Oh, here's a design. Here's how we're going to do your team page. And you look at it and go, "What?" Like what? they want you to click this and then this happens and you hover here and then that happens and I sort of go forget that or you go back to the designer and you go okay you know the website's being built in WordPress you know like you knew before it was elemental but let's let's park that let's forget the elemental bit how are you expecting that to work in WordPress I don't know you're the web developer off right that's so stupid. You know, it's like um let's say someone's going to make a movie, right? And then um to be honest though, this does happen. So, what I'm about to say is not going to is not really true, but someone's going to come along and go, "Right, we now want um you know, we want this to happen." And then they they go to the stunt person or the CGI expert and they go, "Right, make it happen." They go, "What? We can't do that. We either haven't got the budget. We haven't got the material. We haven't got the skill set. We can't do that. Imagine someone is filming a movie and the budget is $10,000, right? $10,000. And they want to create like an entire Star Wars scene. And the guy goes, "We can't do that in that budget. No, no, make it happen." That's kind of what happens with pixel perfect design sometimes.

And I always find that, you know, when like you do a pixel perfect design, you're assuming that all of the words and images are going to be exactly as per the design. And when you actually get to the point where you're now building, the headline may have changed. It's no longer three words, it's now 10 words. uh the image is a slightly different orientation or slightly tweaked color or the branding. Um maybe the button that said let's go now changes into let's get your design built. Right? So things change which is why I don't like you know there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't I just don't like it. I like to keep designs fluid so that we can tweak as per what is needed. But that's just me and I often do talk absolute Lance, is there anyone keeping up with some of the chat GPT lawsuits? Well, do you know what? I'm fed I I it's a it's a weird one, right? This is a very weird one with AI using other people's content and images and stuff. And I get why people are going to be unhappy, but you could argue that I could look at an image that someone's created and without any AI, I could maybe try to recreate that with the same layout or the same color scheme or the same kind of messaging. So, it's a weird one. It's a weird It's a weird one.

Do I do freelance? Of course I don't. I don't freelance. I don't freelance on Upwork or Fiverr. I have clients. I have client relationships. But no, I don't I don't do that. Asan, do you do you do that? Um No, I don't. I don't. I don't. No. Uh not worth my time. I tell you what, I don't want to be in a marketplace where I'm bartering for work. All right. I don't want to be like, "Hey, I'll do it for you. Um, and I'll do it for X amount. I don't I I can't be asked with that. I I would rather know that people find me because when they come to me, I am 50% there with clinching a deal because they came to me. If I go to them, I'm now in a pool of people who are like, "Oh, I'll do it for you. Oh, I'll do it for half the price." You know, no, I can't be asked for that market. Um, and then clients get very demanding. Well, if you do it for half the price, I might give you the work and then you you take on so much more work. Now, in the very early early early early days, I did use um Bark and a few others. And I very quickly hated it. I was like like, you know, yeah, we'll build your website for £1,000. What? But I've got people who've said they'll build it for 60. I thought, "Fuck that." Like, fine, go ahead. You go get it built for 60.

Um, just checking some of the comments. Asan says, "Uh, can you share how you get them? YouTube is Sorry, what do you mean? Can you share how you get them? YouTube is filled with videos but not the actual thing how it works exactly. What do you mean asan? Can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean how you get clients to find you? Um, if you go over to our website learn.websquadron.co.uk, I have got a guide for $2 that says how you can help yourself to get clients. Or you could go and get the guide which is um how to um build your web design business that has loads of good tips in there. This can of Pepsi Max is so bloody cold right there. Every time I take a drink of it, I feel like I'm like I feel I'm getting this rush of gas in my up here. It's not a burp, but it's like the the influx of gas is just shooting up me at the moment. you see me do this. I'm not hiccoping or burping. It's like um they will build that. Yeah, they will they'll build that. I mean some of the tactics people use or backlink tactics as well. And like I I remember someone they paid someone to get their website like white hat backlinks done and the person had put their website on lots of sexual websites and I thought you you did you really want that? They're like no. I well it's out there. That's it. It took me like two minutes and I found your website with all these back links because it like Neil Patel's Uber Suggest Chrome extension will actually list out where all the back links are. Yeah, I'm I'm Yeah, I'm I'm born and raised in Britain. I'm I'm born and raised I'm British. Don't know why I say born and raised. I'm British. I'm not Asian. I'm British. That's the way I see my life, you know. I do everything the British way. Fish and chips. Even though the fish and chips came from Turkey, but that's another story. Anyway, um so with regards to AI, I I I love AI. I love it. I just feel like we're all getting suffocated by it at the moment and every day there's something new.

Um and and I do worry as well that um so look let's go back to mobile phones right uh Samsung a while ago did foldable phones right foldable phones not so good because you get the crease or whatever you know you get like they might you know you might get a bit of a dent or whatever anyway right Apple haven't rushed to that yet but I think they'll do it soon and you have other phones doing foldables as well when someone does something others then go we'll we'll we'll look into that like the iPhone when the iPhone first came out it was a revelation and then we had the other because before the iPhone Blackberry was king Nokia were king right they were ruling right you had the Nokia and you had the Blackberries they were really ruling things I know you had the Motoras and Samsungs and other stuff as well but Nokia and Blackberry for two different markets in a They were ruling, right? iPhone came along and the world changed in a way in like whoa we can now play games like proper games, right? It really changed things. Okay. And then the other companies started looking into it with AI. You had Chat GPT. Ben Claude came along and did stuff. Oh, Chat GPT then did their stuff. Then Grock came along and Grock was better than Chat GBT. So Jack Chat GBT did this and Claude did this and Perplexity did this and then Grock did that and they're all like that outdo trying to outdo one another in a way. Now we can do images cuz people were going to mid Journey before. Wix have just bought base 44. Um Apple may buy uh Perplexity. Did you know this? Apple may buy Perplexity because their AI hasn't been so good, which is not surprising because they do really things up sometimes. Um, everyone's like this, you know.

Um, and every time someone brings out a new model, oh, we we stress tested it and Claude is better than Chat GPT and then the next day ChatGpt is now better and the next day Grock is now better. And I'm like, hell. What are you testing against? I sometimes I don't even understand. What are they testing against? You get all these values and charts and you sit there going, "What? What? Just tell me which one is most current and possibly more accurate in coding." I don't care about the speed. It's now 0 0 0 one second quicker. Seriously, as long as it I don't care if it takes five minutes. as long as it gives me a the right answer or a good answer. Um, being a Lance, I don't do breakfast. I get up at 4:45 a.m. I feed the cats. I then step jump onto my stepper and do about two and a two and a half hours work. Then I do my weights and stuff or exercise or other weights and not exercise because the exercise is here in weights. Now shower, get ready and then at 10 a.m. I'll have a protein bar. So technically that's like my breakfast, but that's almost 7 hours. No, hold on. I got that wrong. 5 hours after I woke up. So I don't really do breakfast. Um, I'm like a keto diet person. Keto, so low carbs, um, high protein, high fat. Uh, and I like to work out a lot. And today I've hit 286 minutes worth of activity, uh, or exercises in total. See, I like I like to do like that. I'm not really beans and toast. I used to be when I was younger, when I was a lot bigger then. I was a lot bigger than I am now. Trust me, I was.

Asan says, "My stance is that we can't we can't replace us. Uh AI is here to Yeah, AI is here to help us, but you know, uh 35 years ago, the internet wasn't really anything in my head. Mobile phones, you know, 30 years ago were just coming on the scene for a lot of us. I know they were around before that with the big suitcase-sized phone, but for a lot of us, I didn't get my first mobile phone until 26 years ago in 1999. I was 21. No, I was Yeah, I was 21. 1999. And I got my first mobile phone, Nokia 3210. And the number I got then is the same number I still have now. That's quite shocking. I think it's the same number I still have now. Um is it the same number? Yeah, it is the same number. Yes, it is. Um so so the way things have moved on, right? you know, and then, you know, 3D movies, you know, I mean, it's kind of the 3D movie thing huge when Avatar came out in 2009 and then all of us were rushing out to get 3D TVs, right? Or I was when when you could watch movies with that. But you know what? That fad has died. The whole 3D I mean, I now when I go cinema, I do not want to watch a 3D. I don't care what movie it is. I don't care how much I want to watch the movie. I don't want to be watching a 3D movie in the cinema because I don't I just don't enjoy it, you know? Uh I just don't enjoy the the diffusion you get when you put the glasses on. And I just find that I I don't really care for it now. Do you know what I mean? Like, oh wow, look at the clouds. Water splash. you know, like uh I want to be uh what's the word? What's the word they use uh for 3D to say you're part of it? Oh, I can't remember the word. It's going to this is going to bug me now. Uh what's the word? You know, when you have a curved monitor, you are not engaged. Oh, can't get the word out now. I can't get the word out of my head. Ah, immersive. Immersive. That's it. Immersive. Thank you. Immersive. Right. Not impressive. Immersive. Right. I want I want the music to pull me in. I want the visuals to pull me in. I want the characters, the acting, the emotion, the action, the humor. I want to be pulled in. I don't want to have like um a car going across the screen and I'm like, "Oh, I need I Oh, I could touch that car. I could touch it. Oh, I touched her hair. I don't off. I don't care. All right. I don't care about any of that anymore. We have to admit when we all How many of you first saw Avatar when it was first released and I was like, "Wow." But really now when you look at back now, you sort go, "Nah." Right. How many of you are still into your whole 3D when you go to the movies? How many of you make sure you watch the 3D screening and how many of you don't? I don't. I don't want the 3D screen anymore now. I just can't be asked with it. Really can't, you know, can't be asked with it. Um 3D TV. Uh yeah, they exactly died off. I mean, I bought one, right? And I was not impressed. I really wasn't impressed because even when they said, "Oh, even when the when you had the Avatar Blu-ray in 3D, even that wasn't still proper 3D, even on the TV, if you weren't at the right angle, it was it just doesn't work." Yeah, I hate it. I do hate it. See, look, 3D is dead. 3D 3D 3D. I mean, Nolan movies in IMAX are really good. I don't really even go to IMAX. I find that I find that I'm not overly bothered. I mean, of course, if it's a small screen, you know, I like it to be a big screen. Um, I mean, my TV, okay, my TV is 80 in, right? I've got 80 inch TV. So, when I'm watching a movie on there, it feels extravagant. was wonderful. Um, so I like screens to be big, but I'm not um uh I did go to watch uh what did I watch on IMAX? Inception. I saw Inception on IMAX. I kept trying to think which one was it? I get my movies mixed up because there was one I saw I thought it was an IMAX but it wasn't. No, IMAX. Yeah. And I I like it. But but there is part of me where sometimes I feel a bit like you have to um do this a little bit. Something's happening. You got to go like that a little bit. I know, you know, some people don't bother, but I like to see everything. I want to get all If a director has filmed a scene, they've got something happening here or there's something happening

There, I want to see it, cuz if it's it's in the scene for a reason. Even if it's really minor, like a little explosion or a bit of shrapnel, or it could even just be someone running off or whatever. Um, a character you're never going to see again, but something happens. I like to feel it and understand the scene. And I find that if the screen's—if I have to just suddenly go like that to catch it, I don't like that. Because when you do that and you look at that, then something happens there and you go like that to catch that and then something happens there and you're like, I don't like that. I hate that. And I I can't move my left eye, you see, very well, right? If I move—If I look over to the left, right, watch this eye when I look over to the left. Right? It moves to a point and then it stops. I get double vision. So when I'm in a cinema, I have to sit on the left side. I don't want to be in the center or the right. I want to be on the left side so I can see everything. So I don't like to be in uh—I want to make sure I can catch it all. Anyway, uh, thank you very much. I'm glad you like the content.

Um, I like to make a difference and I like to share with people ways to do stuff differently than maybe how you're already doing it, or be more efficient or more methodical. And if I can reduce the need—or for you to use—I don't want to say burden, that's not fair—but if I could help you to reduce the need to use a third-party plugin, uh, which is actually the point of what today's live chat was going to be about. Why did I release that video about code snippets? Um, in fact, let me just check the comments before I get into that.

Yeah, I mean, to be honest, Lance, the because movies come out on like Sky or Disney or Paramount quite quick, I don't feel the need to rush out. Like um, my wife and my son went to watch Minecraft when they came out and my son was like, "Dad, dad, dad, you know, um, I want you to watch it." I don't play Minecraft. But because he wanted me to watch it, I was like, "Okay, okay." But they watched the movie when it first came out in I think it was April. Was it end of a beginning of April? I think it was beginning of April or middle April. Right. And then at the uh beginning of June or end of May, I think it was end of May. So about eight weeks, 7 to 8 weeks after the movie came out, it's available in the Sky store. So son was like, "Oh, it's available now." Got it. We sat and watched it in full 4K high def, right? I can pause it if I want to go toilet. I want to get a drink; we can go get that, you know, so we can do everything we want. Um, and because movies don't take long now to come out, sort of like two to three months, they're kind of available. I'm like, it's not like the old days, right? Movie comes out, you often had to—I mean, in the old old days, I'm talking like a long time ago, right?—movie comes out, it would take sometimes one year before it was available as a video VHS and then maybe three or four years before it was on TV. Now we're in um, you know—now you know—I mean, and and and up until about three, four years ago, or even five years ago or six or seven—movie came out and then uh within about six months it was on Blu-ray and then it might be another year before it might be on TV. Now though, it's so much more quicker. So, you know, you don't have to.

But, but then again, I am one of those people where I feel like if we don't go to the movies, they are going to lose money and then we can't complain if the if they um, you know um, that they don't make a sequel because you'll be like, "Oh, I hope they make part two." Well, they won't. They didn't make enough money at the the box office. So, it's like a catch 22, isn't it? Um, yeah, you're right, Lance. Why—Why do you need to go, you know, why do you need to be stood next door to someone shouting exploitives and chucking beer over you or something when you could just be at home, you know, but stay warm. Exactly. The weather, traveling, you know. Why do we use AI to save time? Why do we um use certain solutions to save time? So, I'm one of those people where I could use—Yeah, I like—I I I've always—I've supported Liverpool since uh 1984. Um, but I don't like to talk about football because I always feel like it's a subject that can, you know, like it creates arguments and stuff. But um, why would I want to travel even to the cinema—like uh, get ready, go there, queue, watch a film, get something to eat, come back, come home—that's four or five hours of my life gone when I could be here working, doing stuff, enjoying life in other ways, right? I want to just get back on to some of the questions that are coming on.

Um, Asan, I prefer custom code. Most developers prefer plugins. But yeah, now look, see, this is now going back onto um why I did yesterday's video about the code snippets. I released a code snippet for how to drag and drop your post, page, custom post, and product ordering. So, you could reorder things, right? Which is massively useful when you do a loop grid because you may want to have a particular order. And quite a few people—no, let me rephrase it. I put the video out and then some people, without me asking, shared my video in other Facebook forums, and that's okay. I want to make that clear. That's okay. And I like it when people do that. The trouble is though, some people then reply—not in a nasty way—and they they write what they say, but they're like, "Why—why would I use a code snippet? I can already use a plugin. Why would I use this? I can use this other tool. Why would I use this? Cuz I already—I've been for many many years. I've got that feature using XYZ." They completely missed the point. Some of you are using a premium plugin. Here's a free bit of code. Some of you are using a free plugin that has loads of other stuff on it. This code snippet gives you what you need. And I think people miss the point, that when you use a plugin, you're now expecting that plugin to be updated. You're expecting uh, if there's any vulnerabilities to be fixed, you're expecting it to basically work for you. And when it doesn't work, what do you do? You go and contact the plugin dev or the support forum. What if they don't get back to you with the answer you want? Or what if you're waiting? Do you get what I mean? And if it's premium, you're paying for something. But if a code snippet can do what you need, you have the code. It's not wrapped up in GitHub or somewhere else or locked away or you need a license key and the license key breaks and the plugin was okay or there was a WordPress. You know, you've got the code. You are in control. I feel like people missed the point. I have like about 26 snippets, my favorite ones. I don't use all of them, but brand new website, I can import all of them in one go. Boom. They're all in there. And then I activate what I want to activate. And many I don't want to activate, I can leave them deactivated or I can delete them. Job done. Performance. Ding ding ding ding ding. Some web font stuff. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Pix refiner, WEBP conversion. Ding, ding, ding. I'm happy. And the client's happy as well. And it's all in one place, right? Because for me, you could, if you want, have a website with 20 plugins, or you could have a website with eight and one of them is code snippets. I don't know about you. I know which way I would go.

Yeah, but I have nothing against plugins, but sometimes if you can do it in a snippet, I'd rather do it in a snippet. Like the elemental repeater fields. I have nothing against Dynamic O. They are a great team, great people. Dynamic is good, but so many people were purchasing Dynamic O. Was it 39, 49, 39? They're paying 39 whatever plus dollars, right? Just to get the elemental repeater fields to show on their elemental posts or pages, whatever, right? Dynamic OO has loads of stuff, but just for that one thing, you're paying—with a code snippet, you can now show your elemental repeaters in your posts, in your products, wherever you want, with a free bit of code. Somebody explain to me that I'm talking absolute because it's better off that you pay $30 plus dollars for a plugin. And again, nothing against a plugin. It's not their fault that you got to pay for it because they have loads of good juicy stuff. But if all you ever wanted was one thing, one thing—am I—am I talking garbage here? Am I really like, oh, you're just—No, I'm not. I have nothing against developers or plugins because, in a way, the code snippet is a developed bit of code.

Um, right back to the comments. Yeah, Lance, it was forever for Star Wars to come out. Missed the first 10 minutes because dad had to get popcorn. Oh my god. Oh no. When you say Star Wars, was it the original like uh episode 4, which at the time was just called Star Wars? Episode 4 wasn't introduced until it started going out on TV and we had episode 5 come out. Lance. Um, yeah, exactly, Lance. And that's the thing, right, with a lot of plugins, right? Or what they say like um um an Elemental add-on company contacted me and they said they wanted me to promote their plugin and I said, "Have you got a free version?" And said, "Yeah, we got a free version." Their free version was practically everything you already get in Elemental Pro. So, all the juicy stuff was in the premium version. And I went, "Well, I'm not promoting it because you want me to promote a free version, which kind of is the same as what you get with Elemental Pro anyway." But the juicy stuff, you now want people to pay $59. I'm not doing that, right? I'm not doing that. I am not going to mislead my followers and people and fans and audience and clients and because I'm not doing that. That's not how I roll. All right. That's not how I roll. Which is why you'll never see me do a Hostinger video. They used—they—they every now and again they contact me and I'm like, I don't care. I I don't really—I don't—I'm not a fan of Hostinger. I'm not into it. So, no. Don't care. Don't care what you want to pay. I don't care. I'm not—I'm not going down that road.

Um [Music] Yeah. Sha U Verdie then got involved into it. Artif um Ice Nate Nathan um so many good people involved in that. I've been involved in it as well. Not on the development side, but video support and stuff. So yeah, I I have a lot of love for the code snippets team. Um um yeah, Lance has no idea how the droids got on the planet. I hope you know now. I mean, you sort of say you no idea how they got on the planet. I'd like to think that you do know. Like, if you don't, I'll spoil it for you. Oh, poor—I mean, yeah. I mean, there's none. I mean, I um I'm trying to think of which movie it was. Uh, it was when Jurassic World came out and me and my wife went to watch it cuz we like the original Jurassic Park movies and we're watching it and I—I needed—I need—I had to go for a wee. I was like, "Oh god, I can't hold this. I've got to go for a wee." So, I went for a wee. I came back and the the Indominus Rex had now escaped the enclosure and I was like, "Huh? What? What? It got out. What?" And I really hate it when that happens. I really hate it. You know, um, when you're dying for a wee, you're dying and you can't just wee into a bottle because there's loads of people around you. But you're dying.

[Music] You got to go and then you come back and you miss an important bit and you go, "What? How? Where are we now? What the—They're having sex. Who? Who? What? You don't know what's going on." So, coffeebot, I have moved away from using bricks. Up until Christmas, I was still flexing between them. But I have found that with a lot of my clients—because I don't want to take them on a maintenance plan because I don't want to be responsible for their website forever and a day. Um, sometimes it gets on my nerves when—oh, can we do this and can we do that?—Elemental works better for me. I've also found in the last year and a half, Elemental have massively improved their back-end coding and performance. So, good stuff there. It's almost comparable to bricks. And even though bricks have the really good global class system, elemental will eventually get there, too. So, I'm a little bit like—it's easier to transition a non-techy person onto an elemental website than a bricks website. That could change though with version 4 when it starts to get a bit more complex with classes, but still quite simple and easy. Um, and and also I found that the amount of support and love I get with the elemental people—I don't mean the elemental team, I mean I get on with them as well, but I mean like generally people that use elemental—was really really rewarding. The bricks audience—if I released a video and they didn't like the way I approached it. Even though no one else has done a video on how to do something or it works, so who cares how I did it, it works. I didn't like that. So, they would sometimes say to me, "Oh, you can tell he's an elemental guy. Look at the way he built that. Does it really matter? Like there is no perfect way of how to build certain things and it works and and and even to this day. Hey Mr. Mark Harro. Even to this day I still get people watching my bricks tutorial which was about four hours long. I think uh I released it in May 2023. People still watch that now and they leave a comment to say this is exactly what I wanted, which for me means that I I filled the gap and I'm still filling a gap even though I've not done many bricks videos and I just found that like if people don't like you, they don't like you and I and and I and and the hatred I used to get from sometimes whenever I did a Bricks video. It got to a point where it made me really go, why am I bothering to create videos for bricks because, you know, um, once they make their mind up that they don't like you, that's it. They don't like you. So, I just thought I'd rather just stick to doing uh elemental stuff. Um, will that change? Who knows?

Um, but a lot of my clients are very very happy and also um, you know uh from about uh let me get this right—November 2020, November 2022 going into 2023, especially in 2024—Elementor started doing more updates. Now, not every update was brilliant, but I would say every second update there was something new, something fresh, something different, something better. And if you're one of those people who tries to keep up with core WordPress, bricks, uh, Elementor, Woo Commerce, because they version 9 and did stuff, um, and you're developing code snippets and stuff and you have client websites and you're doing videos and you're collaborating to do videos for other people. It literally got to a point where it was like, I can't keep up. It's like with AI now, right? With every new AI tool and this is how we create a moving image with all of this—it starts to get very like, you know—and then you have like brand new phones and then new iOSs and new Mac stuff coming out and then there's new microphones and new videos and new cameras um and um productivity and how to get clients and when you start to add up everything—all of these things—you know I mean—in the old days our parents only had to worry about work and what you do in work. Come home. Who's—Who's on Wogan? Terry Wogan. Who's the guest on Wogan? What is happening with JR and Bobby Ewing in Dallas? You know what's happening in there? You know, they're all going to watch Dallas. And what does the newspaper say, right? And that was it. Now, social media, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, notifications. Oh crap, someone's got my WhatsApp number and they've messaged me and they know I've read it. Oh, I've got to reply now cuz they know I've read it and I don't want to reply. You know—there—you know—you know—or um air fryers and you're like, "Oh, air fryer. Brilliant." And then you get your packet of um food and you go, but it doesn't actually tell you about the air fryer. It tells you about the oven, tells you about the microwave, tells you how to fry it. And it says for the air fryer, make your own mind up. What the—Make your own mind up. Do I follow the oven time or the frying time? What the—You know, Eddie, how you doing? Eddie. Dallas. We all love Dallas, didn't we? To this day, I still think of every event we've ever had, you know, even with Avengers, Infinity, all of this stuff, with every show we've ever had, nothing will beat the drama of who shot JR. Hey, Artif. Artif, you look really small in your profile pick. Are you like, you literally look like you've just shrunken in your profile pick.

Right. Anyway, back to some of the comments that are coming in. Um, now IMH says, "Will you ever shift to web flow?" No. No, Robert. That is exactly what I do, Robert. In fact, I sometimes go one minute less than the oven. I have found that if I match the time with the oven on the air fryer, it sometimes goes either too crisp or overcooked. So, I always drop by a minute pretty much. But IMH says, "Will I ever shift to web flow?" No, I have no interest in shifting to Web Flow. The WordPress community is so rich. Look at all of the ugly faces on this live chat right now. Look at everybody. Some of them aren't even real people, right? But look at everyone here. We have a rich, diverse community. Religion, color of skin, where you're from, what language you speak, what drink you drink, what food you eat, what ass you lick. Every—was so diverse. And I always feel like we're so huge, right? And and the and the wonderful thing about WordPress is if I drop dead today and all of my clients or legacy clients need to find someone to work on a website. It ain't going to take long to find an elemental expert, a WordPress expert. It might take a bit longer to find a breakdowns expert, bricks expert, more niche down. Etch, you know, Kevin's doing his stuff with there. Very niched down at the moment, but that could explode and grow—WordPress. You will find experts. Tell me how many people, and don't lie to me. Don't me now, right? Tell me how many real people. I don't want to know about someone you met on a forum. I don't want to know about someone you know in this chat or another group. I want to know about real people that you have spoken to face to face, video call. I will accept that that are slam dunk. I was going to swear then I was going to say but I'm not going to say but slam dunk web flow experts. And you can't include Ran Seagull because he's obviously YouTube and all of that, right? You can't include him. Tell me how many you know. I'm waiting. I am waiting—web flow. How many flows of the web do you know? Mark says none. IMH says zero—to—we're suddenly all of a sudden this live chat has become binary. Zero zero. Lance says zero. Tony zero as well. Robert—they don't exist. Change my mind. And I think that's the thing, right? That's the thing. Okay. Um, it's a bit like um a lot of people get custom-built PCs. Dangerous. Unless you know how it's built and you know it's going to be easy to swap out the memory card or the graphics card or the uh you want to add in like Bluetooth uh networking, whatever. If you go and get something that has been like custom-built, but it's been done in like a hard frame and

You can't even get to the SSD within, you're when you want to come and update cuz no one else is going to touch it, right? So I find that if there are web tools or or something that is so look at AI, look at AI, right? People are advertising AI tools on Facebook and places where some people are going to even AppSumo. Some people are going to buy a plug-in or a tool and when they want to get extra help, where are they going to get the extra help from? Do you get what I mean?

People say to me, "Why do you keep promoting the My Listing Directory theme?" I'll tell you why. Go on to Facebook. There's over I think there's 6,000 people or more now that are users of it and it's in a very active group. You know where to go get help. You could go and use another directory plugin. How active is it? Oh, but it's brilliant. Where you going to get help? Where you going to get help?

Hey Owen, you're not missed anything. You not missed anything. Coffee bot 100. No, no, no. We we will not accept the one there. We'll we'll knock that off. So, it's a double O. Sergio, every Web Flow web I see has the same vibe. Do you know something, Sergio? That's the other thing. It's a bit like um do you remember when Wix first came out and I had a I play I signed up to Wix in uh 2011? Was it 2011? It might have been 2009. No, it was 2009. No, it wasn't even 2009. I think it was 2008. Anyway, I signed up for Wix. Okay. And I very quickly noticed that other people that were using Wix, it was very similar with the animations and the way things came in. It was very it all everything kind of felt the same.

Um, Squarespace websites also had this very similar kind of like layout in the way they were as well when Squarespace and Keanu Reeves came out with you got to use Squarespace. Well, I'll kill you John Wick and all of that. Um, but with web flow, I actually feel the same about GAP. So I find a lot of websites that use GAP, right? They tend to have the same kind of animations and the website might look different but they feel the same like Lotties, right? Um you know the images there's a there's a name for the images and I can't remember now. Um you know the images people have on websites it's got like drawn people. There's a name for the I really can't get my brain into gear today. There's a name for you know the images they're drawn images and you know they tend to be duo tone or three tone colors and all of that um like lotty images but they're not lotties. Anyway, so many people use them on their websites and I look at them and all I feel like is h is that the best you could do or um do you know what was really funny artif do you remember artif you shared your health website and it had that lady she had like a green dotted top I have seen that lady now so much. Um because I think she's on Unsplash and on Unsplash the photographer has got loads of photos of her uh slightly different um outfit outside inside. I think there's one of her in a taxi, right? And I see her a lot, you know, and um I don't even know what the point I'm making is. I don't but there seems to be like this like you know web flow gap certain ways of doing things where I feel like it's overkill. Really is overkill.

Um it's like videos and hero banners. I hate videos and hero banners. I really do hate it. If it's for a movie or a concert or an artist or a singer, I don't mind cuz I get it. I don't need to see a video of someone walking into a furniture shop. Oh, look. Chairs, beds, a kitchen, dining table. I don't care. Just show me the product. John C. I use maybe two or three Appsumo products. Out of 20 I purchase, they're always start. Yeah, exactly. Um, I am very careful on the only AppSumo product I still use now because I know it's being updated all the time because lots of people have it is Tidy Kell. Their calendar tool by AppSumo is brilliant. Really, really good. You pay once, $29 one off fee. You don't have to pay annually. Oneoff fee. It's really, really good. and you can accept payments and it's what I use for my oneto ones. If anyone wants to hire me, when you go to like my uh the website, it says book me. When you click it, it goes to a page and you can either book me for 30, no, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour and then when you want to book, you pick your date, you pay your whatever. Boom. It's really solid. Sends it to my calendar notifications. Really solid. Proper solid, right? Don't use Calendarly. Calendarly is not as good as what you think because I used to use that and I didn't there was some aspects I didn't like. Tidy cal really really good. And I can see John says yeah he uses it too.

Uh Mark says he feels that way about animation. Turns me off especially when you use your mouse wheel to scroll down. The thing is though Mark okay and this a lot of you are not going to understand this. So this is just between me, Mark, and Artif, and anyone else when I read what you've written there, right? It sounds quite perverted, you know, when you're using your mouse wheel to scroll down and you're suddenly scrolling a horizontal section. I hope you're referring to websites, Mark.

Um, oh my god, Sergio, you're so right. Can I also say this? Okay. What is why are if any of you have any kids around or grandparents or you don't like exploitives, can you mute right now? I'm giving you a 5-second warning. I need you. You need to mute because I'm going to start to explode in a moment. So, five, four, three, two, one. What is the problem with everyone thinking it's cool to have circular cursors and lovely hand lines that flow out everywhere or confetti when you're moving your mouse or when you hover it goes super big or liquid effects everywhere and everything going crazy? What is the craze? Do you know how many people are doing that and they're like look at my cursor or on Tik Tok if you hire me for $5,000 I'm going to design an amazing website for you and you go to their website and the cursor is like off. you. All right, stop now. Right, stop. What is it with people doing that? User experience is It makes clicking sometimes difficult. Like they give you this big circle, right? Like this big There's this big right? And you're trying to click something and you go click. No. Oh no. Maybe it's there. Maybe it's in the center. Oh no, it's not the center. What the is it on the event horizon of the edge now? Like, where is this black hole going? Man, man, off, right? Sorry.

Hey, Kai. Hope you're all right. Hope you're all right. When I go live, this is the real me, right? When I do the courses and I do videos, I have to hold back a little bit. I have to be nice to everyone. But deep yet, Spinter says, "I no spinter says no." No. Spincter says yes. What was the Wayne's world thing? Spincta says yes. No. Spinter says what? Sphincta says what? Wayne's world. If anyone doesn't understand that, Spinter says what?

Um, when I go live, I like this is the real me. So, if you met me in real life, right, and we're out of the office and we're not at work, we're out and about or whatever, we're watching a TV program or we're talking about life, politics, anything, Star Wars, Avengers, X-Men, whatever, you know, whatever we're talking about. Um, this is the real me. I do not hold the back if I want to let it out, you know? If I wanna No, I won't. Cursor like what John says, right? Cursor effects remind me of think back to 1997 uh the running dinosaur animated GIF. Do you remember you you have it like repeated thumbnail the animated GIF the dancing Ali Mciel baby. Do you remember the dancing Ali Mciel baby? You know, it's like that. Um, Bugs Bunny animated GIF. Oh my god, all of these gifts everywhere. It was like a massive craze, wasn't there, with animated gifts tiled. You know what I mean? Like, and you know what was worse? when you went onto a web page, right? You know, Netscape Navigator, and you had like a logo with a white background, like a sixbit pixelated logo. You had some text in white on a black background, but then you had all these animated gifts and you were like that trying to read it. You're like, "What the does this say? All I want to do is order a Big Mac." You could, you know, you couldn't read it. Running dinosaur. Oh man.
