First time? This is PART 4 of 8. Watch the full playlist here: th-cam.com/video/THeoKjVlFSw/w-d-xo.html Before you get triggered and say iT'S JuSt a MoViE or wHy dO yOu hAtE it.... relax, we know. This is Mover RUINS Movies. It's a fun breakdown/commentary/analysis with sarcasm, humor, and real world stories. We both loved the movie.
I always love your solo reviews and find them greatly entertaining. That being said, the way you and Gonky feed off each other when you two team up is pure gold!
You popped up on my feed yesterday, and you’ve been pretty entertaining. It’s been pretty cool to hear an actual fighter pilot comment on things.
As for this, given your reactions in the previous video, as soon as he said ‘best fighter pilots on the planet’, I _knew_ that a ‘no’ was coming lol.
Gotta ask, can you actually suspend disbelief and enjoy movies and games, or does your skill in your profession make that impossible?
Just found your videos from TH-cam algorithm.. I'm addicted you guys videos make my day!!
Not sure why people are getting butthurt. I love the movie but it's nice to be informed of "this is what should've actually happened."
@@Ananamitron exactly. I love to be educated on things, even if it means to "ruin" a movie. I always find Mover's videos entertaining
Phoenix's situation was because of her callsign. She was obligated to catch fire, blow up and then rise up again. I'm pretty sure that was the logic behind it. If her callsign had been Pancake she would have died.
Supposedly real pilots gave them the call signs after heavy drinking sessions
Lol
*callsign PANCAKE* 💀💀💀
callsign "deadmeat" like Hot Shots :D
One expensive bird
Hey guys we just wanted to let you know since you played football and didn't take this mission seriously. We decided to go with 2 B2 bombers with 4 F18 growlers in support.
Heck the F-35 probably has enough EWAR capability to not need Growlers at all.
fuck it, just take 4 F-35s and call it a day
@@FirstDagger timing is great. Reading this reply listening to the F35s flying over my house from the air base 20 miles away. Lol
@@candle_eatist no fat amy's allowed!!!
@@candle_eatist what about the Curise Missles that hit the airbase. Just send 30 of them and game over
“This is what happens when you throw the NATOPS in the trash can” 😂 classic Mover
I am..... _JUST_ gonna leave this right at 69 likes😁
EDIT: Oh, _DARN_ it!😑Otherwise yeah....Mover never fails to impress us!🤣
it was so funny. good stuff!
Also, why is the enemy studying our NATOPS. Are they gonna radio in and help our pilots troubleshoot problems in the jet?
Killed me.
10:19 Maverick: "Don't tell me. Tell it to his family".
Phoenix: (wait for it) "The Navy requests to tell you that your sons are dead because they were stupid. "
Goose was an underrated gold mine of epic lines in the first movie, and many of them lines that still applied to the sequel.
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!
Gonky is most of us in the audience, just enjoying the movie for what it is. Mover is straight up Gordon Ramseying the movie in pieces, which is hilariously entertaining. Thankfully i've watched and enjoyed the movie to the point of saturation that now i'm enjoying reaction videos tearing the movie apart without it affecting my love for the movie xD
I’m concerned about Gonky’s complete lack of empathy for all the birds he murdered in his Super Hornet
bigger fish prey on smaller fish. a damn hornet is a freaking goliath for a bird. conaider it a quick painless death
😂😂😂
LMFAO
What if those birds were assholes. Did you ever think of that?
Now I want to see Topgun: Mover. It would just be two hours of Mover and Gonky being annoyed at the characters in the movie while getting it done better. 👍
*MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000* 🍿
Better in what?
Mover and Gonky Theather 3000!
are there footage of stuff that these guys done in the past? i´m pretty sure in a heat moment everyone dont act the perfect way
@@WorthlessDeadEnd yeeeeeeeees
I understand laughing about Maverick explaining basic physics to his pilots. But he's really explaining it to us, the audience.
Basil Exposition
True, but there probably should have been a way to do that without making it look like the "best" aviators were going through flight school.
@@prinzalbatross9526 Yes. Probably having Maverick argue with his superiors the reasons of why he chose that option would be a good way to do it naturally. He is continuously getting his attention caught by his superiors due to he way he teaches and general behaviour so it would fit much better than explaining those best aviators the basics of flight.
The mission is basically the trench run from Star Wars. The only difference is that the trench run and impossible bullseye shot happens before the dogfight in this movie whereas the dogfight happens first in Star Wars.
Thought the same thing
100%
which itself was based on "The Damn Busters"
@@MrChickennugget360 I remember that movie with the spinning bombs
It's also exactly the same mission than in hot Shots! ;) ^^
Have to admit this was top notch good fun at its best - i loved hearing Gonky's recounting of birdstrike and seeing you go through NATOPS to refresh the restart was beyond cool 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you would like to read it too, the F/A-18 NATOPS is online. You can download the PDF. It reads like they wrote it for the dumbest guy in engineering class. Like it's super technical, but in that slow pace, small words way you talk a 4 year old into wearing a jacket 😂
Yes, Mav was explaining things the pilots and wizzos already knew, but the point of that dialogue was for the viewer. Not everyone that watches this movie is a fighter pilot.
“Why are there civilians in our briefing room, Mav?”
@@Amar7605 Look at all the people complaining about not knowing terminology in this video alone. Now expand that to the millions of people watching who don't know a third of what Gonky and Mover are saying. This movie would've bombed because no one would have any idea what the hell Maverick was talking about.
Well, there an axiom in screenwriting called show don’t tell. VO with things the characters are purported to already know is simply lazy screenwriting.
@@travisneill704 On the other hand, was there really any other way to put it to accomodate even the completely uninitiated ?
@@Ad-ho7hc are you asking how to convey that in a screenplay through actions, fewer words, theme, and artistry? Yes, there is. But like most of the time when you see expositional dialogue, it's simply laziness that carries that day. Most times it's viewed as too subtle for the audience. If that's the case, then fine, you just have dumbed down dialogue. Got it. Speilberg used to get around this by adding a layer of tension to the exposition. a good example of this is Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana and Sala are talking about the markings on the medalion and how high the staff is supposed to be. It's completely expositional but Indy is tossing a poisoned date around and we are more worried about him eating that than what they are saying. That's more sophisticated than what they did in Maverick. Please don't get me wrong, I've seen Maverick 6 times now and love it. But it's not flawless and it's a good study to identify the weak parts.
Gonky is like an upright golden retriever. He's so excited about the movie.
LOL!
Let’s be honest. That Aegis cruiser could have done the same mission alone from its VLS complement.
But then we wouldn’t have Ace Combat: The Movie.
huahuahuahuahuauhahu ace combat the movie...so f-ing true;spot on 🤣🤣
Garuda 1 inbound.
These days, a high-alt drone with a grenade on a dropper could do it. Hell, give em two, and you're golden. Seriously, don't even need the boat, just need a guy in the back seat of a civic with a phone. XD
@@selderane May the golden king smile upon us
Nothing you fire from a Mk. 41 VLS can do much earth penetration, unless you've got a TLAM-N with a W80
This is comedy gold. I love it
Phoenix: "Sir, is this even achieveble?"
Mover: "No. It's stupid."
Roll the credits!
"You can do it if you HAVE to, but you don't PLAN TO."
A statement that applies to so much of life.
Was an F-15 crew chief. I know that our base we lost a 15 on takeoff from a bird going in intake. I’ve seen a video of a 16 going down from a bird strike. They do happen all the time and when they go in the intake, a big inspection on the engine has to be done. Usually a bunch of blades get damaged and need to be filed or replaced.
I figured they had a canyon that was wider than the real one, so they're turning based on the simulated canyon. The real canyon is there... just for the movie really, but you can justify it by saying it gives the pilots a bit more realism than a completely flat terrain
Exactly.
The death canyon who kill real experimented pilots
I think what he means though, is if your following the simulated canyon you could hit the terrain around you, it would have to sync up perfectly so no one crashed into a wall following the sim
@@Maverick25ish I understand. What I meant was that they could have a canyon wider than the real one so they never hit terrain and only go by the simulation.
They don't REALLY need a canyon at all in this case, since they're going by the sim, but it makes the movie more visually interesting, and you can justify it by saying it gives the pilot real mountains in the background (even if they don't match the real ones) to give them a feel, or that they simply didn't have enough flat land.
And they could have easily figured it out but for some reason the whole video they were stressing their brains trying so hard to find problems they forgot to think if reasoning
Love hearing real fighter pilots take on this movie. Totally reminding me of Mystery Science Theater 3000
I see Gonky as Crow and Mover as more of a Tom Servo
25:25 😂
That’s true….everyone ignored the fact that he went right back into a hard pull and realistically would have G-locked again.
You guys are awesome! Honestly, I only understood about half of what you were saying (if that, LOL), but I had a lot of fun watching and listening. Thank you for your service.
Mover: AAAAAND right back to GLOC. Love it. You guys do a great job keeping it funny and teaching us along the way.
Mover was totally waiting to say that too haha
I'm glad you guys noticed what I did about their training. They simulated a route that they have to take for the actual mission, but they're also flying in a canyon during practice. So did they just happen to find a canyon that is exactly the same as the one for the mission and required the exact same maneuvers? And if that's the case, how did they hit a wall in the simulated one and not die for real?
Edit: Okay, another thing! When Maverick says they're going to pull a 9 G climb out of the crater and it will likely bend their airframe, how are they practicing it without, you know, bending the fucking airframe? Are they just sacrificing dozens of F-18's to attempt this?
I think the practice canyon is not an exact copy of the real one. Just close enough for simulation. That's why they weren't close to the mountains for real. Just like practicing hitting the target was in an open desert area.
The practice canyon was pretty open compared to the real one. Its like setting up cones in a parking lot to practice racing down San Francisco streets
@@doudymac But you would still need to find a canyon with pretty much the exact same shape in order for that to work. The chances of that being the case are absolutely astronomical.
@@vsGoliath96 True. Very unlikely. Maybe if they find one that's wide enough so they easily maneuver inside.
Yeah, we just have to accept that they were able to fit their simulated route into the real terrain with _some_ tight clearances so that we have something to watch.
"Coyote g-locs again" 🤣 i lost it
My father was a tail gunner, i believe it was an RB-66, and watching any military movie with him was just him ripping apart all the inaccuracies in the movie, you guys remind me of him . Thank you for bringing back happy memories
As a Pitch Perfect fan I kept wondering what you guys meant by Fat Amy.
Now I’m dying laughing. It took me a minute to realize you guys were talking about F-35.
Too funny.
I wish I could f*ck fat amy. I love big white girls
Nickname for the F-35
I watched the entire video and I'm still laughing. You and Gonky knocked it out of the park with this part of the critique.
As for Hangman's attitude, I just chalk it to him being a Texan, and the actor who played him, Glen Powell is from Texas.
The director probably told him something along these lines.
"Ok, Mr. Powell. Since you're a Texan, we're going to take the charm and hubris you Texans are known for and crank them up to level ten."
Calm down its a move. Meant to be overly dramatic Beats the shit out of all the "woke" crap Hollywood has been producing lately!!
@@goobermcgilicuty3754 Y’all really can’t walk 2 inches without complaining about woke culture can you? 😂
@@artloverivy woke culture is cancer and must be eradicated from America. We're gonna destroy woke culture with pure Christian nationalism
@@artloverivy I mean based on its cancerous nature what good does it serve to society as a whole? Just asking.
This sucks when youtube says there are 4 replies and only shows two. TH-cam maths really bad
Mover, i planned the mission with growlers to eliminate sams. Raptors and rhinos to deal with air to air threats and a B-2 to put two GBU-57 30,000lbs busters into that facility! Mission Complete, RTB and knock it off!....LOL!
Just carry a couple of AGM158-er and launch them fire them from 570 miles away. If you are very scared, use the XR version and shoot them from 1200 miles from the target. Chances are there are stealth versions or they could make them for this mission.
Loved the movie, love jets and love you guys. Ever since I was a kid, every time F111s and now F18s or F35s fly by my place (in Australia) I run outside hoping to see them, so just being able to jump on TH-cam now and hear thoughts from actual fighter pilots is so cool. The best side of the internet right here. Wanted to say thanks for making all these videos, there are so many little things that we just wouldn't know without actual pilots explaining them, it's great.
I'm considering joining the AF and I'd try to become a pilot for the F-35. I've grown to really love that aircraft.
is that why you still use inverted mouse settings? pretend you're flying a jet?
@@shotz_o No? I never use those settings. I just have grown to be interested in joining the Air Force recently because of playing VTOL VR a lot, this movie, and learning about the job, both the drawbacks and the benefits.
@@justalpha9138 oh my bad, I wasnt actually addressing you haha, sorry about that, I meant RJN. I agree obviously, jets are cool, fair to be interested :D
@@shotz_o As much as I've grown to adore the F-35 specifically, I have other reasons as to why I might actually join the Air Force in the near future.
I like the fact that "the best god damn pilots in the world" who've been flying for 10 years almost get heart attacks after a bird strike induced superpanic mode.
From a non military person all the exposition and conversing helps the general audience understand what's going on. But I love hearing what actual should be happening. Best of both worlds
Watching these series of Top Gun Maverick videos are a lot of fun! Thank you for doing them, Mover and Gonky! I love learning about reality vs fiction.
I appreciate everyone of your videos Mover, for someone that will never experience flying a fighter jet your video's are probably the best understanding of what it's really like without actually doing it, top work and much respect for your service.
I love how you ended it with the NATOPS comment lmao
29:24 funny enough, in pilot training around 2018 the sequencers in the T6As were fucked up so procedure at the time was to leave the ISS in Solo and in the event of a bailout the student was supposed to wait one second after the instructor ejected before pulling their handle.
Just wanted to say, you guys lived the dream. I loved Top Gun as a kid, I was in the Air Cadets in the UK, flew gliders and Chipmonks, and applied for RAF officer school but even after passing all the tests I failed in the interview because 17 year old me didn't read newspapers and had a common accent (RAF in the early 90s was still discriminating in favour of posh men for flight officers). It broke my heart but I totally respect that you guys made it and got to fly jets. I love this movie and anything with air combat in it. Best I get these days is flying my drone lol 😂
Honestly, Hangman turned out to be one of my favorite characters.
Love these reactions. Thank you for your perspective, gentlemen.
Funny part about the timeline that is pushed to speed up the strike.
1: The Navy cares about the enemy's remote, inhospitable doom valley enough to worry about irradiating it in the first place.
2: Treating a nuclear enrichment facility as if it doesn't take MONTHS to process even a few kilograms of material.
"Oh, we have to hit the place before they get their first shipment!"
"Why?"
"Because then it'll have material in it!"
"How is that a problem?"
"They'll be able to process weapons grade uranium!"
"...In what universe does a centrifuge get you weapons grade uranium in five minutes?"
I'd be going: 'Hey, why don't we wait for the first shipment to arrive, then bomb it at our leisure? Then they're not just down an enrichment facility, but they've also lost the raw resources of their entire first shipment!'
Because blowing up Uranium isn't exactly environmentally friendly, especially if they have enough to justify an enrichment plant. Plus it's better to destroy the facility that takes ages to build then shipments that can take weeks to arrive
@@triplemoyagames4195
Like I said, as if the NAVY is going to care about the environmental status of hostile country's extremely hostile mountain valley.
And, I think you missed the part where we're STILL blowing up the facility, but with a shipment IN it.
@@atigerclaw but they explain that in the film. They don't want to contaminate the area in radiation
@@triplemoyagames4195
Like I _said:_ As if the navy ACTUALLY cares about said valley.
Also, you're not going to contaminate the area in radiation. You're going to implode an underground cavern and bury it in a hundred thousand tons of rock.
I love the banter! Make sure you explain your acronyms more. These videos have been so fun to watch!!
Loving this series on TGM. You and Gonky are always entertaining to listen to. 👍
Its me or this entire mission could be acomplished by a B2 spirit? ok, anyways it's just a movie, and I love it.
Could have been accomplished with zero planes...
@@cup_and_cone yelp. A Tomahawk from a ship off shore. Problem solved.
Or ground-penetrating Tomahawks.
Same Air Boss that failed to have Hawkeye AWACS launched in the first movie. Otherwise the Northrup MiG F5s would've gotten close.
Spot on. This series has been enjoyable. Thanks!
These are so enjoyable to watch, love your work mate.
Like the technical details and getting down to the specifics guys. Good work.
I love it... "You're not GLOC'd, stop that".. . You're right sir, it was all in my head!!
Also, i love the "So to speak..." that you add to "questionalble" phrases lol.
Great vids with you and Gonky. Keep them coming..."so to speak"
I've never been a pilot, so maybe someone can help me.... did "so to speak" start with Air Force Blues? Or does Barbie say it to point out sexual innuendoes in the comic because actual Air Force pilots do it?
Mind you, I was just a Forward Observer in the Army who MAY or may not have given an F-22 pilot a run for his money in a simulator, one time....
Mover, I get your sense of humor. I love it, please don’t change.
I love Gonky in these videos, he has great chemistry with you. Also the NATOPS comment at the end was hilarious
I’m still waiting for one of the characters to say “it’s like beggars canyon back home”.
I have watched all 8 of the Fighter Pilots React to TOP GUN Maverick videos you made with Gonky on Maverick and have enjoyed them all. This one is by far my favourite. :)
My favourite moment:
Mover: Actually...
Me: *roars with laughter*
Thanks to both of you for providing all the information you did. I have seen Maverick 3 times - and thought it was the best movie I have seen in a long time - before finding your channel and am looking forward to seeing it again after watching your videos.
I just watched your FINI flight, loved hearing you talk through it. Thank You For Your Service!
I love watching you and Gonky talk shop talk shop and the stories and moments that your reminded of.
Interesting comment about the bird strike! Canadian Snowbird went down from a bird strike a few years ago after takeoff, but obviously an older single engine plane.
I like the amount of pause before Mover said no. 😂🤣
I love how Maverick's much ballyhooed pilot skills consist mostly of 1) slamming the throttles into the NW quadrant, even in situations where he should already be in full AB, and 2) snatching (sts) the stick to the seatpan, even at airspeeds where he'd rip the wings off.
"this is what happens when you throw the NATOPS in the trashcan" 😂 had me laughing out loud there 😂
Definitely found it a bit ridiculous when Phoenix was "shocked" at losing hydraulic pressure after extinguishing both engines. Also the whole sustained g's after going vertical was skeptical at best.
You as pilots would know but the audience who is watching does not know. This is why I believe Mavric is making these statements.
"Well she's dead too." That one gave me a chuckle. Love these videos guys 👍
"Coyote's still pulling 12 g's" - one of the best Gonky quotes of all time. It kills me every time!
"This is what happens when you throw the NATOPS in the trashcan." Hahahaha. I enjoy these reviews so much. Love this channel.
Conclusion: never watch a movie about something you're an expert in.
This is fantastic guys. great info and some really funny moments. literally called it 25:25 right as you reported "and.... G-Loc'd again" haha. great work!
Great Video can't wait for the rest!
The scene in which Hangman mouths off to Mav and Rooster in the ready room definitely made me furrow my brow. Like, how the hell does a lieutenant get away with speaking to a superior officer like that? I mean, for someone like me who knows dick about aviation, that was one of the few moments in the film I knew for sure was unrealistic lol
It could be because hangman thought rooster was there only because of mav even though mav didn't want rooster on the mission
Hangman is Iceman son in the movie
@@charliesanders6930 yes i have watched the movie, also an interview with the cast as the actor said that Tom approached him to play Hangman the son of Iceman.
"that was not a cobra, that was not a cobra" Lmao
Im not in military myself but studying, watching learning about military stuff is something i have enjoyed since i was a kid including many years on various ww1, ww2, and modern flight sims. Even i was confused about the high g climbout and said it at the cinema where are the g's coming from, your already pointed at the sky lol 🤣
I think I crack up more in these videos than anything. Mover, your humor is top notch my friend. Well done on this series lol
absolutely, you speak my mind :)
His humor goes over so many people's heads lol
on the one hand i'm like, man, it's just a movie. on the other, i love seeing you guys rip it apart lol
As Hannibal from the A-Team would say, " I love it when a plan comes together." As Mad Murdock would say, "what plan, there was a plan?" 😆 This was the best one yet. I am so loving these.👍🥰
really enjoyed alot ur productive criticism and professionalism...stay blessed
Great job guys! Best reaction video ever
You two guys are a riot.
I love the commentary.
Keep it up like all Jet jockeys do.
Riverside ZL1 is truly missed 😢
The bird strike scene also gave me anxiety, I knew the scene was all wrong and they shouldn´t have crashed, her reaction looked very messy. I was waiting for this reaction to see what was actually the checklist for the F18 in this situation.
Also why she was red caution lights instead of getting warning.
You and Gonky are hilarious. The team leader competition was exciting.
You Guys are Awesome!!! Thank you for your Work on TH-cam and in the Air
Listening to the commentary, understanding the inaccuracies by the actual pilots, is pretty fn cool to say the least. Nothing screams American pride as much as witnessing a Fighter Jet in person. This movie franchise reminds us of the patriots who are often unreported by our culture. For that alone, it is commendable. It's inaccuracies are tolerable. It reminds us to recognize the courage, dedication, and selflessness of these few, brave, FUKIN PATRIOTS!!!...thank you, and the 🍻 are on us!!
As a regular dude who loves watching movies and no experience of fighter jet plane stuffs I don't have issues of this particular movie, wether realistic or not, it still is a great movie in my opinion. I respect and understand your side about the movie. Great reaction and analysis guys.
Another great one loving these releases!
11:32, that was Jim when he changed his appearance to melt Dwight’s brain 😂😂😂
This feels similar to when you hand in a paper and the professor is taking a red pen to everything.😂
I still love hearing what the filmmakers got right and what they got wrong.
I think all though maverick is speaking to the pilots about the G forces it is intended for us audience because a majority of who went for the movie were not aviators. I think it’s a more creative choice than sticking to the reality. Again I presume this is why it was done.
Love it, keep up these great videos!
I think you fellas may have missed the premise here. The simulated practice isn't in a somehow similar piece of terrain...They are practicing for the actual route in a much wider valley nearby to (I am guessing) Miramar... That's why they are working so hard, and that's why Payback hits the 'simulated' wall, and not a real one. Love these videos BTW. You guys are awesome
I have to correct you on one thing mover Phoenix and Bob are totally good to go on this mission they took advice from Topper Harley and got the coverage. "But I'm paying it off at ten bucks a week. And I wouldn't be doing that if I'd gotten that extra collision coverage."
I am dying over here. This is some of the best reaction vids I've seen. 😂😂😂
So good guys. So good. Laughing so freaking hard.. Still loved the film. We had no clue of course, though we sail and your comments reminded us of when we watched All is Lost. Keep it up.
Lol... Jim from the office.
I'm dead because "Didn't go so well did it"
You guys are simply great (sometime it feels like you are like Statler and Waldorf :-) )
Guys I really enjoy your takes on this movie! Still at the same time it remains one of my favorite movies of all time 👍 It’s so good to the point that it requires that level of reality checks from real fighter pilots! Fun to watch 😁😎
Man, It'd be sad to see this reaction series of yours of Top Gun come to an end
Back when the F-14 was new (1st sea tour with VF-1 and 2) they would assign a corridor, x deg from carrier, any aircraft in this corridor was sending out a challenge to take on all comers. So on the way back to the carrier, the F-14's A-7's and A-6 would all fly that corridor and dogfight anyone who showed up.
Does that still happen?
I wonder with the bird strike if the species makes any difference to the likelihood of damage, or even blind luck.
I work with a guy who's serviced more aircraft than I know about. He had a Bucaneer take birds through both engines. One engine was (more or less) fine. The other lit up like a bonfire and they couldn't find a single turbine blade in it when it came back.
Rhino is half a century newer though so it's not exactly like for like.
You two are having way too much fun doing this😀
Really enjoy these videos guys thank you for sharing your knowledge, You guys seem like you’d be fun to have some beers with.
8:20 I believe Maverick explains that for the viewers.
I think it was realistic of them to lost the hydraulics after losing their right engine as it is what powers it . They still had control after losing the left engine .
In DCS and even MSFS 2020, if I’m low on fuel , I sometimes tend to cut power to my left engine . Yes the aircraft drifts a bit towards left but that’s manageable. Turn them back on right before landing . Seems unreasonable but works and saves fuel.
( DCS knowledge 😅)
Thank you for this I am enjoying these videos so much more than the film.
You both are AMAZING, please-please-please NEVER CHANGE✌🏼❣️❣️
"Are we the only one's on this boat?"
That was the biggest problem I had with the plot. At no point was it explained why, if this is so important, the entire thing is dependent on four Hornets with little to no support.
For that matter why did Iceman, Hollywood and Slider have to fly half way around the world to dogfight the MIGs in the first movie…. Did the two or three fighter squadrons on board the carrier all take leave at the same time?
