- Hey, thank you.
Welcome.
As Mort told you, my name is Rick Podell.
Many of you may know my parents, Dave and Loretta Podell.
(audience laughs)
We were on the TV show together, Bowling for Food Stamps.
(audience laughs)
I'm happy to be here, a little bit depressed actually.
I must admit it.
Well, I just broke up with my girlfriend two years ago.
(audience laughs)
You know why we broke up?
We broke up because she used to always
throw out quotes in that magazine, Family Circle.
You know that one?
Where some housewife explains how
she makes a can of tuna last for the summer.
(audience laughs)
Or, seven ways to convert your bathroom
into a breakfast nook.
Cosmopolitan always has those articles.
How to have an affair with your doctor
without him knowing it.
(audience giggles)
So, we broke up.
Music was real important to our relationship.
Our favorite group was The Four Seasons.
Remember that group?
Who always sound like their undershorts
are being pulled very tightly from behind.
(audience giggles)
Great lyrics you could really identify with too.
Walk like a man, talk like a man.
(audience laughs)
Great, I'd love to see The Four Seasons
at home with their families.
Honey, what's for dinner?
Where are the kids?
(audience laughs)
Remember the first date you went on?
That was probably the most excruciating
experience of your life.
Do you remember the first date you went on?
No, Rick, we don't remember anything as an audience.
Okay, just don't bother us.
Don't involve us, okay. (audience laughs)
We're under tremendous pressure.
Don't talk to us.
We've had a rough day.
We gotta get on the freeway.
Please don't involve us in your act.
(audience applauds)
First date I went on, I was so nervous.
Sixteen years old, I'd just gotten my driver's license.
So my car insurance was, I think, $3,800 every 15 minutes.
(audience laughs)
Had a two-toned car, green on one side, red on the other
for conflicting eyewitness reports.
(audience laughs)
I was so scared I drank about
four bottles of English Leather.
(audience laughs)
Guys remember this on a date.
If you ever had a pimple on your face,
you put a BAND-AID over it.
Remember that?
Tell the girl you cut yourself shaving.
That worked till you got one on your forehead.
(audience laughs)
Going to the pick up the girl,
her father comes to the door,
looks like a side of beef with teeth.
(audience laughs)
Hi, come on in, sex fiend.
(audience laughs)
And the mother's standing behind him
in a pink Chiffon negligee with a parakeet on a leash.
Hello. (audience laughs)
Have you and my daughter done anything
you should be ashamed of?
No, how about you and the bird?
(audience laughs)
Just as you're getting ready to the leave the house,
the father would always do this.
(clears throat) Where are you two kids going tonight?
Sir, we'll be at the Holiday Inn, room 328.
Give us a call. (audience laughs)
My parents used to take us to dinner a lot,
and my dad was a big influence on me.
He's a tough guy, tough.
He smokes in bed face down.
(audience laughs)
Dad, your face is on fire.
No wonder I can't get to sleep.
(audience laughs)
I went away to college.
Every Sunday my parents would call,
and they talked to me for 20 minutes,
and then my mother would say, "Wait, don't hang up.
"Your father has to talk to you."
Hi, dad, how you doing?
Fine, here's your mother.
(audience laughs)
My dad was a traveling salesman.
Used to have to go to the airport
all the time to pick him up.
You know something?
Nobody listens in airports.
You can say anything.
Flight 18 to Miami has no engine and the crew is drunk.
Now ready for boarding,
and people walk on to the plane.
Here we go. (audience laughs)
There's so much hijacking and terrorism too.
They're sending in the wrong negotiators.
They should send in Monty Hall.
Look, you got 50 hostages.
You wanna keep what you have or go for
what Jay Stewart's holding in the little box?
(audience laughs)
Yasser Arafat, come on down.
(audience laughs)
It's important too for my parents and us
to have dinner together.
The family always had a meal together
every evening at six o'clock, and we all had chores.
I made a salad.
My dad burped and read the paper.
(audience laughs)
Mom was a great cook.
Used to put Lemon Pledge on the meat to give it a shine.
(audience laughs)
Hey, we had a dog who sat up and begged not to eat.
(audience laughs)
Every Saturday night we got dragged to
a Chinese Jewish takeout restaurant called Sum Dum Goi.
(audience laughs)
Run by a guy named Wing Tipshoes.
(audience laughs)
My mother was always on a diet too,
one of the realistic dieters.
I gotta lose 100 pounds an hour.
Can you help me?
(audience laughs)
Then we go to an Italian restaurant.
She orders lasagna and a Tab to drink.
(audience laughs)
My mother also (laughs), she gave me a book,
an interesting book, "How to Pick Up Girls."
You read this book?
Written by Harry Reasoner.
(audience laughs)
Inside the book it's great.
It says most guys think you have to be
rich and attractive to get a woman,
and then it says not true.
Sure, we all know girls are secretly
looking for poor unattractive men, right?
Look, Sylvia, there's a guy with a pimple and no cash.
Let's talk to him. (audience laughs)
Hey, listen, you've been great.
Thank you very much.
I've enjoyed it. (audience applauds)
Thank you.
(audience whistles)
Thank you.

⚡HOW TO CREATE AN AWESOME GAMES BUSINESS | GAME JAMS & COLLABORATION | ENTREPRENEUR ADVICE ⚡ - Duration: 5:20.
My name is Roberta Lucca, I'm an unconventional entrepreneur. My passion is bolder in everything I do
Do you dare to be different?
If you were a band and
bands usually create music out of jams, right, especially if it's jazz music, but, you know even traditional
musicians and rock stars and etc
they actually have some ideas of some things and some sounds they want to experiment and
and very often they go into jams to
to align themselves into a specific rhythm and a specific lyrics and you know to create music together and
And it's all about improvisation as well
So they go there with themselves totally present play the guitar sing a little bit play the bass
Whatever, drums and then they create great music
hopefully great music out of that and
For Bossa
we found out at some point that we were in a position
all the decisions and everything that we were creating game-wise was kind of top-down and
We had the opportunity to join a massive global Game Jam
where we sent four people of our team there and
Ended up creating Surgeon Simulator
At the time, we were already experimenting having this kind of time off
Inside the company on an ongoing basis
And we said for games
Is there something else that we could craft that make sense for us?
And that's how game jams came about
So in practice, what happened is that every other month
Since we were I don't know 10 people
We stopped the whole team to allow themselves to get together in teams
However, they want to compose the team. Usually the teams have
One or two developers. They have designers, a game designer.
They have artists. And sometimes some someone from marketing also joins
What they do is -
They get together they have ideas, they brainstorm a lot of ideas
And they create a game and there are only two rules
One rule is you cannot work on your own
Persuade someone else or if you can not persuade someone else that your idea is amazing
Chances are you should be joining someone else with a better idea than yours
The second rule is the game needs to be playable at the end of 48 hours
the one that we're doing this month is
amazing because
We actually created a mini exhibition inside the office so that people created
each team created a whole experience around the game
Then all of us were kind of going around and playing the game and kind of having a feel of that
Which is much nicer than than doing a presentation, right? Because sometimes with presentations
You're like, okay, this game is amazing. You ask a lot of questions, but you actually have not played it
What happens for Bossa is that all the projects that we create from Game Jams they either get
killed because they're not good enough or they get
Picked up by someone else or someone in the teams. I don't know
I want to do that in my spare time
and
we usually
Have a conversation with the team and say well maybe we can allow
and in the future we can consider if we publish the game
Because it's not of interest of Bossa or something
But most importantly, the best ones go into our roadmap
Meaning it goes into production
It goes into the next available slot for us to build the game full-on
Game Jams became part of our culture and it's so funny because it's
I have to give credit to my co-founder Imre
He's the one who started crafting game jams
And he's so on it, adamant on improving that on an ongoing basis. So
That's how we roll here. We love doing things differently. We love being bold
And we love to take those risks
because
imagine
from a business perspective
It's actually costly for us to stop a whole team nowadays 80 people for two days to do that
but
It's so important for the way that we create games. It's so important for
For the team to feel comfortable to create great things together
but also to have the the purpose and the autonomy and feel like you know, they
They are doing something that has meaning
Because they created that
It was not me as a founder or my co-founders saying
Hey, you should do that because that's what I believe right and as a company
I think it's so important that we give the teams, and we give our best people the
The space to shine and the space to create awesomeness

Real Bigfoot from an old car with budget $3000 - Duration: 8:22.
This old car was good enough only for one thing – to be remelted.
But then it was incredibly lucky to become a base of a new project.
The project that tells us how to turn an old rubbish car into a real Bigfoot!
Are you interested?
Then stay with us, we are to start right now!
Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
Probably you see the cheapest big foot ever been built.
Its owner deliberately tried to make a real Bigfoot for very little money.
The base here is an old ussr car that was bought for the project just for 300 baks.
And just look at it…how cool it is now.
By the way…
yes it is old and cheap car, but it used to be a very comfortable model.
So our Bigfoot not only the cheapest but probably the most comfortable.
Big, luxurious seats, a good heater…Well I think today we will test this car being
in a real comfort unlike numerous other atvs we tested on this channel.
Bust firstly lets dive a little bit deeper in the construction and technical details.
The base here is a modified frame from an old 4wd car.
It was slightly lengthened.
The axles are also from the same 4wd car.
There are two transfer cases that provide a very powerful torque, that is essential
for the huge wheels.
The engine is stock 2.4 liters capacity and this unit proved to be rather reliable.
Many things were done with the steering system.
To handle with the huge wheels the real hydraulic steering was implemented here.
There is a hydraulic pump and cylinder from a truck.
The wheels are also from a truck but they were seriously modified.
Most part of the rubber was simply cut off.
The rear part also was modified and now it is like a real truck.
The interior remained the same and as I said it is quite comfortable even in stock.
Well lets have a ride!
By the way the owner says that the whole budget of the project is only 3000 dollars.
Surprisingly the result is quite reliable.
The car went through many tests and proved to be rather durable and capable for offroading.
The main drawback to my mind is that you can't drive this thing on public roads anymore.
And the maximum speed now is only 50 km/hour.
In this way this car is used not like a showcar but like a tractor to help with numerous things
in a household.
Besides it turned out to be a good atv for hunting and fishing, it is able to go wherever
you want.
Theoretically it is even able to float, but frankly speaking we didn't enough courage
to test it.
But we tested how it went on offroad.
And it was quite good.
But I can't say it was a surprise.
Huge low pressure wheels and full wheel drive always do a lot of good.
The only thing that this car is lacking it's a central system of tire inflation.
Well now its my favorite part – let me try it myself.
Wow there is an engine start with a button…not bad!
To start moving choose the second gear, the first one is too slow even for offroad.
… As I've said the two transfer cases provide a very good torque, as if I drove
a diesel.
Besides I liked how the suspension worked.
It moves very smoothly even on a rough terrain due to the low pressure wheels and long travel
leaf suspension.
But on the other hand it swings quite seriously, like a boat on waves, it seems that the shocks
are out of order.
I was the most impressed by the steering.
The homemade hydraulic steering works perfectly!
You can turn the huge wheels literally with only a finger!
Well I should say this car produced a good impression on me, especially taking into account
a low price.
The comfortable interior, perfect steering, soft suspension – it is definitely worth
its money.
Well guys I think you agree with me, that such a car should be tested on a real offroad.
So we tried to do our best to find a decent obstacle.
Unfortunately there was only a huge field in the location, and it was quite a job to
find there something interesting.
I should mention, that frankly speaking it is quite easy to get this machine stuck.
It is rather heavy and it is hard for it to go in a swamp.
The only way to move there it is to do a very low pressure in wheels.
Finally we found something interesting.
A small river with a tiny bridge across it.
Firstly lets try how durable the bridge is.
…Boring… why do we need some bridges at all when we are driving such a car.
Lets go straight into the river!
Well at least we tried.
As you see it was no sweat for the car…so the same thing …boring.
Ok, the last try to put more action into this video.
We are going to cut our way straight through the woods.
Do not feel pity for the woods.
Either way they are going to be removed because this field is to be cultivated.
So lets do it!
This time it was rather funny, the car was cutting its way very impressive, but as you
can see the woods revenged and we got the broken mirror and lights.
Well what should I say after I tested this car.
Firstly I want to remind that the whole budget of the project is only about 3000 dollars.
And to my mind for these money it is quite a decent car, simple construction, impressive
offroading abilities, a comfortable interior and soft suspension, and to top it all – the
perfect hydraulic steering.
The flip side is – it cant be driven on public roads, dead shocks, the original car
and the used parts are very old so it is very hard to say, how long this car is going to
be alive.
And it is very interesting to read your opinions about this project, so please post a comment
if you liked it or not and why.
And now lets call it a day.
Thanks for watching guys, please consider subscribing the channel if you liked this
video.
It will be many more interesting materials here, good bye!

Dent Repair PAINTLESS - Dent Removal on a SUV Gate - Duration: 5:28.
hey today you're gonna see how I use
paintless dent repair to take out these
couple of small dents in the gate of this Chevy Equinox
[static sound effect]
[music]
typically with paintless dent repair
we try to go behind the
panel and push it out
so with this Chevy Equinox that we have
in here today you're gonna see the
process of not only from the outside of
what it looks like as the dent is coming
out but I'm also gonna show you the
inside under the panel with the tool
from the inside that we use the paint
special paintless dent repair tools to
go on the inside and slowly push the
dent out you're gonna see as I'm doing
that that I'm just slightly gently
moving the tool around making small
little gentle pushes until I get it
completely flat perfect
now typically with paintless dent repair
and the way it's been done for over
thirty 40 years now is when it first
started was going behind the panel we
actually pushed the dents out from the
inside massage them gently push them
until we get the panel flat and this
always worked really well it worked
perfectly worked excellent with small
dings and door dents and it is advanced
over the years into much bigger damage
now you may have seen a lot of stuff
that's been marketed online now to
consumers to stick a tab onto the car
and just pop your dent out it's
magically gone now doesn't always work
that easily and if you click this icon
up at the top I've got two lists a
playlist of more videos that I've done
that just use the grouping method and
you can see the process of how it's done
and it's not just a quick quick fix
hey thanks for checking out this
paintless dent repair video here today

"A Day in the Life of…" an Avalanche Management Team Member - Duration: 1:43.
In the days leading up to my experience I was extremely excited,
but I have to admit I was a little scared too.
I was pretty sure it would be physically demanding,
and I wasn't sure I'd be up to the challenge.
Hi, my name is Maureen Musclow and I participated
in a Day in the Life of an avalanche management team member.
The work that this team does makes a big difference in people's lives.
Here in BC's Rogers Pass, Parks Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces
work together as part of the largest mobile avalanche control program in the world.
The work that they do helps minimize the impact of avalanches
by protecting roads and railroads lines.
From my perspective, it takes a special kind of person
to be an avalanche management team member.
They do a lot of climbing, digging, measuring and collecting and analyzing data.
All this work helps with gathering the information
necessary to forecast avalanches before they occur.
This is just part of the job.
Avalanche staff also need to have the skills and training
to take on rescue and recovery efforts.
Teams members must be able to handle the intense emotions
that can be experienced when they have a successful rescue,
as well as when they have to deal with serious injuries or fatalities.
This work combines nature and science.
It touches on safety and conservation.
The people who do this job have to be physically fit and very technically oriented.
They help keep Canadians safe from avalanches and, in my opinion,
they also get to carry out their job in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
It's way too late in my career to take the necessary
training to be successful in this field.
However, I can picture my daughter doing this job
and being the happiest worker ever.
