The problem with this experiment is that there are no incentives to adjust behavior. If good behavior led to a higher level and bad to a lower level, then you would quickly see major positive adjustment. I work in a prison. There are many levels but suffice to say that there is General Poplulation and if you mess up, Restorative housing. It used to be more effective when RHU was worse but now it isn't much lower than GP so the inmates do not care enough to try and return to GP. So we have quite the issue with problem inmates. Much like this movie, critical policy decisions are made by people who have never set foot in a prison and have a warped thought of what a prisoner is.
That is a large issue with this experiment. If this is meant to be an allegory for society, then the issue is that there are no positive reinforcement systems, which is why people can cooperate on a societal level but not on a far smaller level. Your only reward here is survival and your survival would be lost if you were to follow *any* ruleset anyone came up with.
@@deathreign3 if there's no reward for good behavior and no punishment for bad behavior, then it is a pretty good allegory for society in real life lmao
Funny how the original was supposed to be a critique of "the system / capitalism" but the second they saw it made money, they just churned out a sequel
. Considering how the prison is designed for people to starve like he points out in the video it may be more like a critique of trying to do socialism in a overarching society that is still capitalistc.
Damn. I’m literally a doctor. I’ve worked with cadavers a lot. The idea of eating worms that feed on human cadavers, especially with the decomposition farm photo to go with it… You officially broke me with that one…
@@DrLeaders dude, eating worms that ate nothing but fecal matter was already pretty bad. It's not like they would be packed full of that same fecal matter they've been gorging themselves on or anything.
I have another theoretical (albeit hardly feasible) idea. Request for your food to be poisoned, and, prior to your imprisonment, build up an immunity to that poison. Thus, your meal is basically guaranteed to only be consumable for you.
I don't think the majority of the people in the story knew how how bad it'd without prior experience. Otherwise you wouldn't have dummies choosing plums and crap as a meal. If it were a well known punishment to anyone going in, that platter would be more stacked instead of looking so artsy. Food wouldn't matter as much if everyone requested 2000+ calories.
I feel like the Loyalist biggest flaw actually wasn't the food distribution system (flawed as it is), it was the totalitarian rules outside of food and extreme punishments that in-sighted rebellions
8:59 Writing down this recipe as it actually sounds very helpful. * raw whole milk * peanut butter * dark chocolate * bananas * berries * avocado * spinach * chia * flax seed
Pizza was actually a good pick, he gets carbs and fat that he’ll thrive off of. Your plate wood be picked apart and you can’t keep the bones or anything from the plate form 😂
My only issue with this movie was when they started throwing away extra meals. like nah let them go down the more food down the better for those below. even if someone eats a bit extra the bonus meals will help to guarantee more makes it down. And then we work down from there. The guy heading the rules doing this is why there was a rebellion.
They didn’t explain it properly so it sounded stupid but they were trying to explain that there was no fair way to pass out extra food. There’s always going to be people who will go hungry so they prefer everyone eat what they brought. I agree that throwing away the food was silly but I think that’s what the movie was trying to say
@@yourbabytee It sounded stupid because it's stupid. The movie also pointed out the foods people requested were not usually enough to survive on. The woman who chose plums clearly said she could not finish out her sentence with the plums. She will eventually snap and eat someone else's food, die for it and the person whose food she ate will suffer from less food, snap, eat someone else's and on and on. It's set up to fail even within the movie (as in the movie recognizes this fact, not just viewers pointing it out). And there's not even a fair way to ensure everyone gets their own food either yet it didn't stop them from trying and setting up the dumbest system ever to do it. Hundreds of people are starving to death every month in that pit to try and make this 'only take your own food' system work on top of the people who die from various other problems, on top of barbarians ensuring additional people starve if their food isn't available anymore even on the top floors. It's all a big setup to fail. Additional food with some on the spot attempt to distribute it, would have made it more likely to work, but that's likely why the overseer guy didn't allow it - because making it more likely to succeed isn't the point. It's meant to fail.
@@prettyevil6662000 yes, that is the whole point, that socialism doesn't work, causes violence and cannot have truly fair distribution due to ignoring human nature/greed. which is kinda funny cuz the first movie is about how capitalism sucks lmao. horseshoe theory but in movie form
@@yourbabytee Even if you explain it like that it still makes the decision to throw away food stupid even more so considering the situation they are in. It doesn't matter if they can properly distribute the food as long as more people get the extra food everything will sort itself out.
Right. I understand what they meant by throwing it out, but it makes no sense when they know full well people on the lower levels wont have anything at all. Its such a waste. Why not just make the rule that no one can touch the dead peoples food until everyone has eaten their selected meals, and those dead peoples meals are the only options left for those below.

You really want 12kg of cheese and tomato pasta, 14 pizzas, 26 cheeseburgers and 8kg of fries? Hey I'm a hungry guy, gimme a break Feeds like 100 people
In lieu of a katana, 100% it'd be better to choose something like a spear or halberd. You'd want as much range as possible, and you won't be fighting in that tight of spaces. I'd lean toward a halberd, both for defence, and if needed, to process down "animal" carcasses.
You're either fighting to get off the platform or what's coming down. The space around it seems relatively small, you're practically always fighting alone, and you wouldn't want something a person can grab because it could be 2v1 etc. Although a harpoon could be good. Use as a spear as needed, attack a few levels up and down, and really you can control the two levels below you by threatening to harpoon them when they go eat. Swords seem like the best weapon against lots of unarmored people in relatively close spaces.
A halberd wouldn't be ideal, it takes a ton of practice to use well, and needs a lot of space to be effective, remember you'd be having to dance around that giant hole, and if someone gets past the tip you're screwed. Polearms in general were used in large formations, not for duels or small brawls. Swords are great all-rounders especially against unarmoured opponents, a late European broadsword would be good, can slash or stab, good range but not too long and can't be grabbed unlike a polearm, has a handguard so good for defence up close. That said, a WW1 trench knife might be perfect. Huge blade to cut or stab with, compact enough to conceal and use in tight spaces and whilst grappling, combined with spiked knuckles if you get rushed or tackled and can't stab or slash the attacker. It was designed to use in the confines of a trench and defeat rifles with bayonets which are basically spears. So tl;dr you'd want a one handed blade like a short sword or trench knife.
I'm not sure you get to keep the bones. We never see prisoners use plates and such as weapons, which implies that it is prohibited to keep literally anything from the platform, not just food (which you could argue bones are).
Well, those aren't great weapons anyways. You're probably right though regardless. But both aren't really very durable in combat. They can be used in a necessary situation. But they do have metal bed frames and people who chose to bring in weapons. So no bones and plates needed.
I can't with the names😅. In my country Perempuan means girl, sahabat means friend. And i checked and saw characters named goreng (fried) and dagin babi (actual spelling of the word would be daging babi but anyways it means pork. Who came up with these names? Btw, great video as always!
@@annegrey6447 just as bad BUT bigger budget lead to waaaaay better production, effects, etc. Pooh, Owl & Tigger actually look pretty good in terms of design & the kills are better this time around as well. James did a Kill Count video on it over on Dead Meat
I find it hard to believe any fair system would work out for all 666 inmates. People on the brink of starvation will be unlikely to follow strictly to rules. That being said, here are some rules I disagree with: - Discarding the food of the dead. It's obviously wasteful, but it's bound to be hard to keep track of the body fat and remaining time of all inmates, not to mention lying about the time remaining, so it's better to simply decide that the food of the dead goes to the floors below the dead, preventing loopholes where you benefit from murdering. For the rest of the month, the people directly below the dead gets the food for a day, then passes it to the next floor the next day and so on. - No cannibalism. Allow it following a similar rule as above: give it to those who are below them. Since dead people can be kept unlike food, each floor gets to keep the body for 1 day (or 0 if you don't want it). Chances are, most people would pass it up except for the hungriest and boldest. - Rule of 4 (or 6). If comm chain is the issue, leave 1 person per even-numbered floor and get more people from higher floors, up to perhaps 8 or 10 (which is pretty hard to beat even for 2 strong guys with a sword).
I would requsest a shake with this in it 3,000-Calorie Mega Shake Ingredients: Peanut Butter - 1 cup Whole Milk - 2 cups Bananas - 3 large Oats - 1/2 cup Honey - 2 tablespoons Chocolate Protein Powder - 2 scoops Heavy Cream - 1/2 cup Avocado - 1 medium
I support the anointed ones !!! The only 2 rules I would change is that the fighters of the loyalists should get the food of the dead people to incentivise others joining. And a move shouldn't be made on another barbarian platform unless you have a 3v1 advantage (unless you think you can win with less)
let's be honest, only way to actually have your meal untouched is to make your order either so spicy or so gross that no one would even want to touch it. best to get a ghost pepper sauced order of chicken or some pineapple and anchovy pizza.
How to break the system: Everyone orders a three layered wedding cake. 666 wedding cakes won't fit on the platform so it needs to go up and down constantly. Nobody is gonna eat that much wedding cake and the facility will have to file for bankruptcy because shit's expensive.
The Nerd Law doesnt make the situation better though. Even if they follow it completly after a couple of months all of them would be skeletons and would need a lot more than what they have on the table, so at best it delays it by a month or 2
the nerd law just allows people to run out the clock on their sentence before they starve. Basically be dead from starvation or get out on the brink of starvation
@cantingpython You can't escape. Most of peoples sentence is over 9 mounths and the nerd law woudnt be effective after a mount or 2 because all of them would need a ton of calories that doesnt last for everyone cause they would be skeletons without any new players coming and just like in the movie the people above would only eat
Another issue with the worm soultion is assuming the workers will move, a rotting corpse, and a s**t and worm bucket to each floor with you every month, forever.
Well obviously I wouldn't volunteer to go in there. But I'm not dumb enough to think I'd be content with the same meal every day for a year, unless that meal contained more food and more variety than I could possibly touch up on over several days. In other words, I'm asking for like a 12 course meal (hell apparently there's been a 21 course meal let's go with that) that'd cancel out some of the people who made extremely poor food choices. And think about it, your katana could allow you to protect yourself, but you can't extend your will upon anyone you don't get up close and personal with. Being generous with excessive food could allow me to enforce order through other people. I guess that's why my aim is a society of abundance and excess where no one starves. I am gluttony not greed. Wouldn't bring a weapon. It's a risk to not have one, but there's also a risk in appearing threatening to other people, especially when you want to gain their trust and support. Need to bring something for entertainment, boredom can be very dangerous in places like that. Also something to keep track of data would be helpful toward keeping order. So what, a ton of chalk maybe? You can do some interesting things with chalk dust if you need to...
10 thousand mini tacos with smallpox. I can inoculate myself with cowpox (very mild) that would make anyone else sick but not effect me. Tacos have meat, carbs, veggies and lemon or lime juice. In the event someone else is immune to smallpox, they can still eat as many tacos as they can and still have hundreds left

I'm hearing impaired and the captions don't cover it. Can someone tell me what the guy asks for at 10:40 because I can't understand him. Please and thank you.
He says "that pen", referring to the one the interviewer was holding. He didnt understand the significance of the question, similar to how the people don't see the significance in their food choice. That's why he shrugs immediately after choosing "that pen" it's a "why not" gesture that displays the carelessness of his decision. It's likely meant to display the shortsightedness of people entering the pit. He could ask for ANYTHING but instead of thinking about it, he picks a random object in front of him without any further consideration.
Wait, I'm confused. If he's told to only eat his food... who ate his pizza? If he's told 'only eat what was yours' but what was his, was eaten... I see an issue with their theory XD
In the movie there's a "barbarian" on a higher level, the same one that comes down when nerd talks about the bed frame for clubs part. You cant ride the platform up so you just gotta see who it is and then wait till they are in reach next month.
I would pick a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chunky peanut butter followed by a glass of milk. Hopefully enough people have a peanut allergy and are lactose intolerant for me to get my meal everyday.
I would get a bad feeling just by being in a place that looks like an underground parking lot being utilized as an office space to meet applicants. Sketchy as hell from the jump.
The movie never showed people with just straight up horrendous luck. What if you start the experiment on level 200 and then wake up lower the next month youre practically just dead atp.
My takeaway from this is that there are two ways to “beat” the platform. Don’t enter it, or off yourself asap, likely by jumping into the pit. Either way the path to victory is by not needing to deal with it.
Ideal meal if i had 2 min. Casein protein shake (since it takes 7 hours to digest), loaded mashed potatoes, and Meatloaf. All soft and easily swollowed.
The problem with this experiment is that there are no incentives to adjust behavior. If good behavior led to a higher level and bad to a lower level, then you would quickly see major positive adjustment. I work in a prison. There are many levels but suffice to say that there is General Poplulation and if you mess up, Restorative housing. It used to be more effective when RHU was worse but now it isn't much lower than GP so the inmates do not care enough to try and return to GP. So we have quite the issue with problem inmates. Much like this movie, critical policy decisions are made by people who have never set foot in a prison and have a warped thought of what a prisoner is.
That is a large issue with this experiment.
If this is meant to be an allegory for society, then the issue is that there are no positive reinforcement systems, which is why people can cooperate on a societal level but not on a far smaller level.

It was designed to use in the confines of a trench and defeat rifles with bayonets which are basically spears.
So tl;dr you'd want a one handed blade like a short sword or trench knife.
I missed your videos my guy... Glad your back🎉
The worm farm DISMANTLEMENT was hillarious xD
lol yeah
They weren't told thats all they would eat. They just asked what their favorite food is
the humour on this channel is unrivalled
analysis is fkn great as always
Real
I'm not sure you get to keep the bones. We never see prisoners use plates and such as weapons, which implies that it is prohibited to keep literally anything from the platform, not just food (which you could argue bones are).
Well, those aren't great weapons anyways. You're probably right though regardless. But both aren't really very durable in combat. They can be used in a necessary situation. But they do have metal bed frames and people who chose to bring in weapons. So no bones and plates needed.
A milkshake and a machine gun The single most American thing ever
The attitude difference between your earliest videos to now is incredible 😂
My glorious king has returned.
I was so stoked for the sequel and it was just not anything what i expected, in a bad way.
Dear god, I love the background music of this channel so much
As a Malaysian, a huge chunk of the (major) character's names are hilarious.
Peremppuan = Girl
Sahabat = Friend
Fvck Malaysia
I was wondering what's up with the name choices.
Your channel is way better than How to beat.
I can't with the names😅. In my country Perempuan means girl, sahabat means friend. And i checked and saw characters named goreng (fried) and dagin babi (actual spelling of the word would be daging babi but anyways it means pork. Who came up with these names?
Btw, great video as always!
Just curious. Indonesia?
@@xaxad4529 Correct, also Trimagasi sound like terima kasih (thank you) and Kekasih literally mean Beloved/Darling
easy, just ask for a 2 million calorie block of nutrients by saying it's your favorite food
Kept clarifying "The ANIMAL" 😂😂😂
THE ANIMAL🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️💀💀💀😂😂
"They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals."
It's always nice when Nerd Explains uploads a new video for us to enjoy
3:40 Admitting themselves into Better Help's blacksite 😂😂😂
Please do Blood and Honey 2 🙏🏾
They made a sequel?! How bad is it?
@@annegrey6447can’t say, there’s no how to beat from nerd yet 😅
@@annegrey6447 just as bad BUT bigger budget lead to waaaaay better production, effects, etc. Pooh, Owl & Tigger actually look pretty good in terms of design & the kills are better this time around as well. James did a Kill Count video on it over on Dead Meat
@ Thx. I’ll go watch him now 👍😁
LOOOLL I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS ONE
I find it hard to believe any fair system would work out for all 666 inmates. People on the brink of starvation will be unlikely to follow strictly to rules. That being said, here are some rules I disagree with:
- Discarding the food of the dead. It's obviously wasteful, but it's bound to be hard to keep track of the body fat and remaining time of all inmates, not to mention lying about the time remaining, so it's better to simply decide that the food of the dead goes to the floors below the dead, preventing loopholes where you benefit from murdering. For the rest of the month, the people directly below the dead gets the food for a day, then passes it to the next floor the next day and so on.
- No cannibalism. Allow it following a similar rule as above: give it to those who are below them. Since dead people can be kept unlike food, each floor gets to keep the body for 1 day (or 0 if you don't want it). Chances are, most people would pass it up except for the hungriest and boldest.
- Rule of 4 (or 6). If comm chain is the issue, leave 1 person per even-numbered floor and get more people from higher floors, up to perhaps 8 or 10 (which is pretty hard to beat even for 2 strong guys with a sword).
That tower must smell rank, I mean none of the inmates are able to shower or anything
They do in the sink kinda
@ yeah but still
And the dead people. Have you ever smelled rotten meat? If someone died on day one of the month and was just left there...
@ I personally haven’t but I can imagine it’s not pretty. Especially in a mostly enclosed space
The cleanup crew sanitizes the place every month. Things would only smell bad towards the end of every month.
I love this new addition of the peoples opinion in the video, nice and new
Didn't know this movie had a sequel
It's new-ish
it just came out a few weeks ago
Its a prequel
I would requsest a shake with this in it 3,000-Calorie Mega Shake Ingredients:
Peanut Butter - 1 cup
Whole Milk - 2 cups
Bananas - 3 large
Oats - 1/2 cup
Honey - 2 tablespoons
Chocolate Protein Powder - 2 scoops
Heavy Cream - 1/2 cup
Avocado - 1 medium
That's a badass milkshake.
Chances of it getting spilled is high though
@@NerdExplains The 6 foot submarine sandwich of P&M sounds like an awesome pick for a single meal...
@@aparnarai3708But how much of that sandwich can you eat in 2 minutes?
I support the anointed ones !!!
The only 2 rules I would change is that the fighters of the loyalists should get the food of the dead people to incentivise others joining.
And a move shouldn't be made on another barbarian platform unless you have a 3v1 advantage (unless you think you can win with less)
I have been watching your content for a while and this clearly the funniest vid on your channel
The best part of the movie the how they just turn off gravity for the pit to move around. like that makes a whole lot of sense.
And the giant concrete block that just levitates down every day stopping flawlessly on each floor.
@ShiningDarknes that would make a wicked bed, not gonna lie.
This shit had me cracking up 😂 “we can’t keep food but we can keep people and people are food” wildest shit i’ve ever heard on youtube 🤣
let's be honest, only way to actually have your meal untouched is to make your order either so spicy or so gross that no one would even want to touch it. best to get a ghost pepper sauced order of chicken or some pineapple and anchovy pizza.
Some guy brought up pemmican
Well, that was a ... decent... explanation regarding ... animals. Guideline friendly. Was fun to watch. Doubt it would... realy work.
Love the transitions from point to point. Cracks me up everytime
“That’s 90 rounds of stay the fuck away from my food” 😂😂😂
31:45 we can’t keep food, but people are food. That was the best line lol
How to break the system: Everyone orders a three layered wedding cake. 666 wedding cakes won't fit on the platform so it needs to go up and down constantly. Nobody is gonna eat that much wedding cake and the facility will have to file for bankruptcy because shit's expensive.
The Nerd Law doesnt make the situation better though. Even if they follow it completly after a couple of months all of them would be skeletons and would need a lot more than what they have on the table, so at best it delays it by a month or 2
the nerd law just allows people to run out the clock on their sentence before they starve. Basically be dead from starvation or get out on the brink of starvation
@cantingpython You can't escape. Most of peoples sentence is over 9 mounths and the nerd law woudnt be effective after a mount or 2 because all of them would need a ton of calories that doesnt last for everyone cause they would be skeletons without any new players coming and just like in the movie the people above would only eat
You’re a funny and knowledgeable guy. Thumbs up 😄
8:15 You are seriously underestimating competitive eaters lmao
Nerd is back baby!! The goat of this content
Another issue with the worm soultion is assuming the workers will move, a rotting corpse, and a s**t and worm bucket to each floor with you every month, forever.
Cant wait for that Terrifier 3 video.😂😂
HES BACK😭❤
I would ask for a bed as my one item. Or at least a mattress. & I would choose a double cheeseburger with an egg on top as my meal.
Well obviously I wouldn't volunteer to go in there.
But I'm not dumb enough to think I'd be content with the same meal every day for a year, unless that meal contained more food and more variety than I could possibly touch up on over several days.
In other words, I'm asking for like a 12 course meal (hell apparently there's been a 21 course meal let's go with that) that'd cancel out some of the people who made extremely poor food choices.
And think about it, your katana could allow you to protect yourself, but you can't extend your will upon anyone you don't get up close and personal with.
Being generous with excessive food could allow me to enforce order through other people.
I guess that's why my aim is a society of abundance and excess where no one starves.
I am gluttony not greed.
Wouldn't bring a weapon.
It's a risk to not have one, but there's also a risk in appearing threatening to other people, especially when you want to gain their trust and support.
Need to bring something for entertainment, boredom can be very dangerous in places like that. Also something to keep track of data would be helpful toward keeping order.
So what, a ton of chalk maybe? You can do some interesting things with chalk dust if you need to...
I really love these videos you do! Very informal and entertaining
10 thousand mini tacos with smallpox. I can inoculate myself with cowpox (very mild) that would make anyone else sick but not effect me. Tacos have meat, carbs, veggies and lemon or lime juice.
In the event someone else is immune to smallpox, they can still eat as many tacos as they can and still have hundreds left
Dang where ya been homie. So many banger movies have come out
Imagine surviving by cannibalism just to finally get out of The Hole... and die within a month of prion brain disease lmfao not to mention how you'd be treated during treatment being the only mfer in the entirety of North America to contract it since the 1800's lmfao
Again, you only get that shit from eating brains. This was covered in the video. Pay attention.
0:46 I did NOT hear “mass starvation” the first time 😂
Mmmm he baited you. One might call him a Master
Omg!! I laughed so hard with the fatty boom batty 😂 25:42
I'm hearing impaired and the captions don't cover it. Can someone tell me what the guy asks for at 10:40 because I can't understand him. Please and thank you.
I'm not for hearing impaired even I couldn't understand
I'm not hearing impaired so I'll provide the subtitles for you. *Inaudible*
Based on later context in the video. He said "a pen"
@@Z_Anomaly That makes sense. I do remember him mentioning a "pen guy." Thanks.
He says "that pen", referring to the one the interviewer was holding. He didnt understand the significance of the question, similar to how the people don't see the significance in their food choice. That's why he shrugs immediately after choosing "that pen" it's a "why not" gesture that displays the carelessness of his decision. It's likely meant to display the shortsightedness of people entering the pit. He could ask for ANYTHING but instead of thinking about it, he picks a random object in front of him without any further consideration.
Nerd!!! I’ve missed you!
When he was talking about how many calories you need, I was thinking the exact same meal he described! 😂
One would assume there is a limit to what the meal is...otherwise you would order 1 ton of MREs.
Wait, I'm confused. If he's told to only eat his food... who ate his pizza? If he's told 'only eat what was yours' but what was his, was eaten... I see an issue with their theory XD
In the movie there's a "barbarian" on a higher level, the same one that comes down when nerd talks about the bed frame for clubs part. You cant ride the platform up so you just gotta see who it is and then wait till they are in reach next month.
Someone didn't hear or listen to the Loyalist rules above them. A barbarian. They're killed after a few days so then he starts getting his pizza.
"Follow The Nerd law. OR GO FLYING!"
Pretty straightforward if you ask me.
Im still confused on how the platform just moves down with no support
8:45 yeah it kinda ruins the experinemt if you only have 2 mins. Youd need min 5 mins to be fair with 2 meals
11:20 man I have no idea why I just laughed so hard at everything u said u would
Bring I’m in literal tears 😂
I would pick a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chunky peanut butter followed by a glass of milk. Hopefully enough people have a peanut allergy and are lactose intolerant for me to get my meal everyday.
I would get a bad feeling just by being in a place that looks like an underground parking lot being utilized as an office space to meet applicants.
Sketchy as hell from the jump.
I’ve missed you! Keep up the great vids!
Im glad you posted a normal video because im really not into the video game walk through stuff.
The movie never showed people with just straight up horrendous luck. What if you start the experiment on level 200 and then wake up lower the next month youre practically just dead atp.
Yesss, she's back!!
My takeaway from this is that there are two ways to “beat” the platform. Don’t enter it, or off yourself asap, likely by jumping into the pit. Either way the path to victory is by not needing to deal with it.
I personally would have chosen an MRE to eat because you would only need one to live off of a day and you can take it off the platform
HOLY SHIT YOUR BACK LETS GO!
Ideal meal if i had 2 min. Casein protein shake (since it takes 7 hours to digest), loaded mashed potatoes, and Meatloaf. All soft and easily swollowed.
Nerd not realizing this is a prequel by the end even though it seems he read an explanation makes this slightly confusing
I saw How To Beat's video on this and just knew you were also working on it
I'd steamroll this easy. I can go 3 days on one half plate meal comfortably before my stomach starts grumbling. I'm practically just bones and skin.
Love when he post I be ready to laugh
