Waching daily Jun 28 2017

>> Crazy Nate: Hey Gents and Gentlets, welcome back, I'm your host Crazy Nate, and today

I'm with Jonason and Jesse, and we are going to be checking out the most awesome pick up

truck in the world.

Let's get started.

[intro music plays]

>> Crazy Nate: So I was actually at the Regal theater with my sister.

Regal theater had Guardians of the Galaxy, Pirates, and then also Cars 3.

And if you watch all of them with Regal and you're a Disney Movie Reward collector you

get like massive points, so we're there.

For those of you that don't know, in my state there's only one of those theaters in the

entire state, so I had to drive like an hour to get there.

>> Jonason: Who Knew?

>> Jesse: Worth it!

>> Crazy Nate: Worth it, right!

So when we got there we're like wait a second, is like authentic Disney here?

Because here's the pizza planet truck.

And then so my sister and I went over and checked it out, and here it is.

If you follow me on Snapchat you already saw a sneak peak to this, I gave a little shout

out there.

Check it out, we just got done filming a video, stay tuned!

How did this all start?

>> Jonason: Well you were going there to the theater, I was not going to that theater,

I was leaving church so we came at the right time.

>> Crazy Nate: Right right.

>> Jonason: And crossed paths and I just thought.

>> Crazy Nate: A magical formulation.

>> Jonason: Yeah yeah, I thought, I thought you were just another fan.

>> Crazy Nate: Yeah.

>> Jonason: Because people take pictures with this all the time.

>> Crazy Nate: Right.

We were just at lunch over at a certain place we wont mention because they don't give us

money for it.

In-n-out, yum!

>> Jonason: Not sponsored, if you want to be.

>> Crazy Nate: #Notsponsored call us if you wanna be.

Any who, while we were there eating there was several people we saw walking around with

their phones taking pictures, just like we did.

That's gotta be like a daily occurrence with this thing.

>> Jonason: Well I don't take it out daily.

It's too hot.

>> Jesse:Yeah this truck does not fair well in the Arizona heat.

>> Johnason: No, no, no.

I did take it out every day when I was living in flagstaff, but not down here.

It's too hot.

But yeah, it's a lot of fun.

That's most of the reason that we keep it around.

>> Crazy Nate: So what inspired you guys to make this truck?

>> Jonason: Well that's kinda a long story.

If I guess to tell it shortly, we made the Live Action Toy Story Movie, that truck is

not in it.

>> Crazy Nate: No.

>> Jonason: We were searching for one for a long long time.

That was even the last scene that we did.

Like we didn't film that scene until the very end because we wanted to get the truck right,

and we got as close as we could but it's not that close.

But my dad kept looking because he likes looking at craigslist stuff.

>> Crazy Nate: Right.

>> Jonason: And he found the yellow pick up.

There's no camper shell, there's nothing else but he traded cars because he wanted to get

it for me.

Hi dad!

And it was like a year and a half process, so like you know one day it's like ah, I think

it's time to take the letters off and get YO.

And then you know maybe it's a year later before I found a camper shell that fit right,

and the rocket went through a few variations.

I made a whole video about making that one with my friend.

You know, the old ones were kind of garbage, but you know, we keep working on it to get

better all the time.

And we're not the first Pizza Planet Truck in the world.

But we're of I think maybe 10 or 12.

>> Crazy Nate: Nice, nice.

Well it was the first one I saw outside of the Pixar Studios, and that one I only saw

like with google search.

So it's definitely a cool experience, it's like the first time you see one in real life,

it's like I just walked into Toy Story.

Like, let's follow this truck, where is it going?

We're eating dinner there.

>> Jonason: Well I'm glad, I'm glad because that was kinda the idea.

>> Crazy Nate: Anyone that's out there that maybe wants to build a truck.

I've actually wanted to do one for a while, but my other spare car's not a truck, and

I can't have 3 vehicles, that's expensive.

But for someone out there, I notice you even have stickers on the back for the truck.

You obviously have the magnetic sign here and everything.

Where do you go to make all of this?

Is it just every single peice is hand done?

What's going on?

>> Jonason: Pretty much, you know stickers were really easy online.

Just...

>> Crazy Nate: Just website?

>> Jonason: Yeah, just custom stickers website .com or whatever.

>> Crazy Nate: So it's not some magic website, go here, pay a certain fee, you have the entire

package set up?

>> Jonason: No but I should make that and charge people.

We, you know we found screen caps of some of the stickers on you know on the Toy Story

DVD, and made them for the movie, so I just kept those around.

>> Jesse: The license plate was like from Amazon, I think you just got that.

>> Jonason: That's the front license plate, yeah, I bought that.

But that's not real.

You can do that in arizona, you can put a fake one in the front, as long as there's

a real one in the back.

>> Crazy Nate: Some states require both.

>> Jonason: Right, so don't buy fake license plates.

>> Jesse: We don't condone that.

>> Jonason: But yeah, we just made, I made where ever I could whenever I could.

I mean, it's never really done.

The truck itself has died a few times, so like not movie accurate engine or anything.

>> Crazy Nate: And then you even have the little aliens hanging from your mirror, super

cool.

>> Jonason: Those actually are in Live Action Toy Story.

>> Jesse: That's true.

>> Jonason: That's probably the only thing that is.

>> Crazy Nate: So one thing, in the back of the truck I noticed that I've gotta ask about.

You've got a tool box in there, and then you even have a woody doll.

So in the movie the toy chest is smashing around, they even have a longer version of

it originally, they shortened it down for the movie.

Is your tool chest bolted down, or are you actually crushing woody every time you go

up and down hills?

>> Jonason: Well might as well be bolted down , there's a bunch of tools in there so.

>> Crazy Nate: So it's functional too?

>> Jonason: Well, yes it's very functional.

I used it plenty of times but it's heavy enough to where it doesn't slide, but it could, and

Woody's gotten crushed before but he's fine.

>> Crazy Nate: So with this rocket, I used to work security at a mall, and one of the

problems is people forget they have the cargo things on and they rip them off, have you

ever had one of those oh bummer moments?

>> Jesse: Oh gee, let's see that was only two weeks ago when we went to Phoenix Comicon,

you know we found the garage and as we were going in, looking at the clearance, that should

be good right?

And we're getting closer, right right?

And there are people walking by and they're like I don't think so, and then so we're going

slow, and they're like no you're good, you're good.

>> Jonason: So we got in no problem, getting out was lower.

Why are'nt they the same.

There's one section

>> Jesse: there's one section that was like too low and boom we had to take it down.

>> Jonason: I actually finally bolted it in so that I could go on the highway, because

otherwise I'm scared to, I don't want to.

Dangerous.

>> Crazy Nate: That was my next question.

So it is safe for the highway now?

>> Jonason: It is now, it wasn't for years, or a couple of years I guess.

But now it is.

The only problem is we had to take it down, so I had to redo the whole thing over again.

And undo it in the middle of the parking garage when people are trying to leave.

So that was embarising, but whatever.

>> Crazy Nate: So random thought I just had, have you ever been pulled over driving this

thing?

>> Jonason: Yes, I have.

>> Crazy Nate: And did it get you out of the ticket?

>> Jonason: Yeah, but I don't think he got the connection.

Well, so that was in flagstaff, it was like 5 in the morning, it was icy in snow, and

I didn't want to slow down, because if I stopped then the engine might die, so I you know,

ran a neighborhood stop sign.

Because it's five in the morning, there's no one there.

>> Crazy Nate: A little Cali-stop.

>> Jonason: Yeah, a California stop, and he pulled me over, and he asked if I was going

to work, which Isaid yes, because it's true.

I think he thought I worked at Pizza Planet, but I did not.

>> Crazy Nate: He's googling it for lunch.

>> Jonason: But no, it was just the warning because I think he realized it was five in

the morning, and there was no one there.

>> Crazy Nate: One of the things noticed with the commentary in Toy Story, they were talking

about Pizza Planet, the actual restaurant, and one of the guys said someone needs to

make this in real life.

>> Jonason: I know I say that every day!

>> Crazy Nate: Yeah, that would be fun.

>> Jonason: Yeah that would be a back up back up plan, if the youtube career doesn't work

out then

>> Crazy Nate: That's the backup plan.

>> Jonason: Right, well I mean it should really just be the first plan.

>> Crazy Nate: Yeah, I would totaly eat there.

Even if it was garbage pizza, they could be cooking like frozen pizzas I would still go.

>> Jesse: Oh, of course.

>> Jonason: Well as long as it's like the movie.

Like there's Pizza Planet in Disney World florida, it's nothing like the movie, it's

just a Toy Story themed pizza place.

>> Crazy Nate: Is that the one that's like in a strip mall?

>> Jonason: Kinda.

>> Crazy Nate: Yeah, I saw one like that, and it's just the outside looks like it, but

the inside is kinda....

>> Jonason: Not even.

>> Jesse: It's got a Buzz and Woody sitting somewhere.

>> Crazy Nate: No, you have to recreate the arcade.

>> Jonason: Yeah!

That's, I mean that's what we stuck with for the truck itself, and for the movies, like

get it like the movie.

>> Crazy Nate: Yeah, you can't just put a generic wak a mole game in there, you gotta

have the actual Alien guy with the little aliens coming out.

>> Jonason: I don't even think the one in Disney World had a claw machine, I was 10,

but I remember being disappointed.

>> Crazy Nate: Well, I have ten claw machines in my house so, if you want one, I'll give

you one, but it's not a rocket ship claw machine, it's the boring box claw machine.

>> Jonason: I don't know, we searched for a few, when we were making the movie, and

ended up just using some wire.

>> Crazy Nate: Well it's been great checking out this truck, I wish I had it.

>> Jonason: It's been my dream car since I was a kid.

>> Crazy Nate: One thing that's super cool though, is we both live in basically the same

neck of the woods, it's a little bit of a drive, but for the size of our world, we might

as well be next door neighbors.

So we're going to be doing some sort of a collab in some way and you're going to see

more of us, but like I said go subscribe to them, they are awesome, hilarious, and family

friendly.

Very cool.

So if you guys don't know already, which you probably already saw their video, if you didn't,

they made the entire Toy Story movie in real life form with the actual toys and everything.

So if you haven't seen it, go check it out, make sure you subscribe to them, because they

are extremely awesome, and they're family friendly.

And I don't shout out anyone that's not family friendly so.

>> Jonason: Us either, us either.

>> Crazy Nate: But we all have the same thing in common, we a lot of Disney, and they also

have a podcast you guys are working on as well.

>> Jesse: Yeah, we do, it's called quest for the best, where we talk about just TV shows

movies, and you know we look for the best examples of you know any kind of example that

we're looking for to see like you know what works in making a good movie or good TV show

and what doesn't work.

>> Jonason: And it's just barely started a podcast brand new so, you know it has a lot

of room to grow.

>> Crazy Nate: And then you guys are also doing skits as well too, I just saw your awesome

fathers day or horrible fathers day.

You know what I mean.

>> Jesse: Yes we do, we enjoy doing sketches and talk shows that's what we're gonna be

pumping out a lot recently.

>> Crazy Nate: Thanks for watching today, I hope this video made you smile, and remember

most importantly of all gents and gentlets,

>> Group: Share a smile, they are contagious.

>> Crazy Nate: Bye.

[song sings]

Hey! share a smile...they're contagious

Can you imagine a day without smiling...(huh) that would be outrageous

Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with Crazy Nate

>> Crazy Nate: And remember most importantly of all,

>> Group: share a smile, they are contagious.

>> Jesse: What did you say?

>> Jonason: I said They're again, and then I had to add a syllable to match it.

>> Jesse: They're are, they're are contagious, they're everywhere.

Drain The Swamp New Trump Appointee Is A Saudi Lobbyist - Duration: 5:02.

Drain The Swamp New Trump Appointee Is A Saudi Lobbyist

by Lauren von Bernuth

The Center For Public Integrity reported late last week that new Trump appointee, Richard

Hohlt, is a current registered agent of the government of Saudi Arabia.

According to Department of Justice documents uncovered in the Center�s report, the Saudi

Arabian Embassy paid Holt over $430,000 between January and April of 2017.

(Further payments to Hohlt will be documented in his next quarterly DOJ filing).

Thanks to the Trump appointment Hohlt now serves on the prestigious and influential

President�s Commission on White House Fellowships.

As a member of the Commission, Hohlt�s role is to ultimately provide final candidate recommendations

for the Fellowship program to the President.

The Center For Public Integrity reported recipients of the Fellowship often go on to important

positions within the White House and various federal agencies.

Past recipients include Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, former Secretary of State Colin

Powell, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.

Fellowship responsibilities, according to the White House website, �range from chairing

interagency meetings and designing and implementing federal policies, to drafting speeches for

cabinet secretaries to representing their agencies on Capitol Hill and in international

treaty negotiations.� A Fellowship, thus, is often a doorway into prominent political

influence.

The Trump campaign of 2016 achieved much of its success by promoting an anti-establishment,

anti-lobbying message.

�Drain the swamp� was as much Trump�s rallying cry as �M.A.G.A.�. Trump himself

tweeted in October of 2016: �I will issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch

officials lobbying on behalf of a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!

#DrainTheSwamp�.

As the Center reports, one of Trump�s first executive orders included a lifetime ban on

executive branch appointees engaging in work that would require registration under the

Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

That same act is what requires Richard Hohlt to disclose his work for Saudi Arabia.

However, because Hohlt�s work for the President�s Commission on Fellowships is considered part-time

Hohlt evades the Trump executive order.

In the Center�s report, Hohlt downplays his role with Saudi Arabia and his lobbying

efforts on their behalf.

Hohlt claims, �That is not my role� in regards to any efforts by him to lobby the

Trump administration on behalf of Saudi Arabia.

His role, according to Hohlt�s FARA records, is to �provide them (Saudi Arabia) with

advice on legislative and public affairs strategies.� However, in the Center�s report, Hohlt does

say that he directly contacted some congressional offices in late May and June regarding an

arms sale.

Last May, is of course, when Trump traveled to Saudi Arabia and negotiated an arms deal

with them.

Officially Hohlt first began his work on behalf of Saudi Arabia in last October.

Just two months later, the Washington Post reported Hohlt hosted his annual Christmas

party which was attended by numerous influential Republicans, soon to be Trump cabinet members,

and the Saudi Foreign Minister and his family.

Other guests, reported by the Post, included incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince

Priebus; Katie Walsh and Josh Pitock, advisers and aides to Trump and Pence; Senators Orrin

G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.); Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.); Thailand�s ambassador

to the United States; Airbus U.S. chief executive Allan McArtor; and Bret Baier and James Rosen

of Fox News.

The Hohlt Christmas party was a typical old boys network of Republican and conservative

influencers plus Saudi influencers, military influencers, and conservative media.

So Hohlt was on Saudi Arabia�s payroll as recently as two months ago, may still be,

and hosts parties which mix Trump administration influencers with Saudi officials and military

influencers.

Yet, Hohlt wants the public to believe it�s not his role to influence the Trump administration

on behalf of Saudi Arabia?

Hohlt�s appointment is just another example of the dozens of lobbyists appointed to the

Trump administration and the affinity Trump has for the lobbying industry.

LemonNation: "The balance team of League is basically the best of any game I've ever played." - Duration: 7:21.

I remember specifically because the first logo we had, or the first logo that Jack and

I suggested, kind of looked sexual.

If you looked at it in a weird way, and I noticed that so I'm like we shouldn't do that.

People aren't gonna give a shit.

So you picked this one?

The current one?

Well I mean, I guess I declined the first one.

And then we got the second one, I'm like yeah, that's cool.

You hard vetoed... the genitalia logo?

Yeah.

I mean League has always had an awful community.

So does every online competitive game.

Some worse than others.

I think Overwatch has an even worse community than League does, at least in the US.

I don't know about elsewhere.

I've been to Europe and I've noticed their community in League is even worse than the

US and I don't understand Korean but I've been told that that community is quite toxic

as well, in League of Legends that is.

But the balance team of League is basically the best of any game I've ever played.

They do make mistakes and there's always, you know, a lot of criticism about certain things

they do or like people hate how they remove old Sion and make him a new champion, stuff

like that.

But overall, with the changes they do I feel like they constantly keep the game fresh.

They constantly keep it balanced.

And I feel like they honestly just do an amazing job, if I was expecting them...

They exceed my expectations, basically.

Like even things that I've thought were bad at times, in retrospect I realized were good.

I don't have any specific examples for that kind of thing, but

The most important thing a balance team has to do is keep it interesting, keep it fun

to play week to week.

And they definitely do that without causing power creep and without causing any insane

issues usually.

Like sometimes there'll be some insane champion that shouldn't exist, like Zac at the moment

but, they're pretty good at fixing that.

China definitely has not grown as much as I expected.

I really expected them to become dominant just because of the humongous -- first off

humongous player base and humongous influx of money there.

They basically at the time had the largest player salaries of anywhere; they were able

to get basically any talent they wanted.

Any infrastructure they wanted.

They had these huge, amazing, bougie looking places for their teams.

But for whatever reason they haven't developed.

And I don't really understand why that is.

I thought by now they would be -- I thought by now they would be on par with Korea, like

they would be the top two regions.

And to me it still feels like Korea is Tier 1 and then Tier 2 is everyone else.

Like China isn't -- China's, you know they're good, but they're not like a tier

above everyone else or anything like that.

And I can't really give a good reason why.

I don't -- I have actually never been to China, I've never seen how the teams operate

or anything like that so I can't give the reason.

I guess.

I've always kind of enjoyed kind of -- I've always enjoyed puzzles, and picks and

bans is kind of like a puzzle.

It's always just thinking about the game, thinking about what you can do to get an advantage

with just a bunch of different puzzle pieces, basically.

You know, removing things that they can do and putting things together that make your

comp good.

And there's just all of these different things you have to take into account, and just analyzing

that is always something I've really enjoyed doing.

So it's something I spend a lot of time thinking about and a lot of time just, I don't know,

focusing on.

Do you really need the notebook to do it?

No.

Of course not.

Have you ever sold those?

No no no no.

I actually have all my old.

I believe I have every notebook I've used on LCS sitting in a box.

I don't think I've lost any.

Honestly I don't really care about my legacy or my fame, personally.

I don't think it's, I think it's something that is good to have in this kind of

scene for this kind of job and everything like that, but personally it's not something

that I get any joy from, I guess.

I don't think that being famous is a better thing for a person than being not famous,

if that makes sense.

And I don't think I really care about having a legacy, like a lot of people care about you

know like, how they're perceived to a lot of other people.

And I don't think that's very important, personally.

I think the older most players get, the less focused they get on playing League, and the

less obsessive they get about it.

Like they either you know get girlfriends, they get wives, they get other hobbies.

They just get other things to focus on.

And League doesn't become a priority, whereas for most teenagers, or not most teenagers

but the kind of teenagers who play League and go pro, they just obsessively play League

every day of every hour.

They get addicted to it, they will just think about it all day, completely commit.

And it's hard to keep doing that as you get older just because other things come up.

Other things come up in your life and you just -- also, after playing a game for like

five, ten years, some people would just get burned out.

They'll want to move on to something else.

You know they want to get a different hobby or a different game to play.

I don't think that age is much of an impact on your actual ability to play, like your

ability to mechanically play or things like that.

I don't think that's much of an issue until much later in life, like I see in other sports

there are people playing into their 40s quite often.

There are people, even like StarCraft, who play in their 30s.

So I think as long as players are... as long as pro players stay committed, I don't think

their skills will degrade.

It's just harder for players to actually stay committed.

Chuck Todd: GOP Health Care Bill Is 'Still On Life Support' | TODAY - Duration: 2:30.

CAPITOL HILL AT A PREPLANNED HEARING.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> LET'S BRING IN CHUCK TODD.

CHUCK, GOOD MORNING TO YOU. >> GOOD MORNING, MATT.

>> THE HOUSE HAD A HICCUP WHEN IT CAME TO THEIR HEALTH CARE

BILL. THEY WENT BACK TO WORK.

THEN, THEY PASSED THAT BILL. NOW, THE SENATE HAS PULLED THE

VOTE. ARE WE SEEING DEJA VU OR

SOMETHING DIFFERENT? >> IT'S DIFFERENT IN THIS CASE.

ONE ADVANTAGE THE WHITE HOUSE HAD IN THE HOUSE IS THAT THE

PRESIDENT HAS SOME ABILITY TO LEAN ON HOUSE MEMBERS.

HE'S POPULAR IN A LOT OF THE HOUSE DISTRICTS.

HE HAD AN ABILITY, MANY OF THEM SHARE THE SAME POLITICAL BASE.

MANY FELT THEY HAD TO LISTEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE DIFFERENCE HERE IN THE SENATE, IS THE SENATORS ARE MUCH

MORE INDEPENDENT ACTORS. THE IDEA OF THE WHITE HOUSE

LEANING ON THEM ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, ALMOST EMBOLDENS THEM TO

PUSH BACK. I WOULD NEVER WRITE OFF MITCH

McCONNELL'S ABILITY TO GET ANYTHING THROUGH THE SENATE.

HE DEFIED THE ODDS AND PULLED OFF THE SUPREME COURT ISSUE HE

DID LAST YEAR AND ENDED UP GETTING A CONSERATIVE SUPREME

COURT JUSTICE. THE GUY KNOWS HOW TO MANEUVER

LEGISLATIVELY. IF IT WAS ANYBODY ELSE, THIS

MORNING WE WOULD BE SAYING THIS BILL IS DEAD.

ONLY BECAUSE MITCH McCONNELL IS SO GOOD AT BEHIND THE SCENES

ASPECTS OF THIS, IS THIS THING ON LIFE SUPPORT.

>> A LOT OF THE SENATORS WILL BE GOING HOME FOR THE JULY BREAK.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE SEEING THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

DOES THIS EXTRA TIME HELP THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.

>> THIS IS NOT WINE. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER OVER

TIME. THIS IS A BILL THAT GETS HARDER

TO SUPPORT OVER TIME. THIS IS WHY MITCH McCONNELL SO

BADLY WANTED IN TO BE DONE IN A WEEK.

YOU KNOW? A SHOCK AND AWE SORT OF

LEGISLATIVE STRATEGY. INTRODUCE IT ON A THURSDAY AND

VOTE ON IT AND GET OUT OF TOWN. NOW, YOU HAVE THE MOBILIZATION

OF OPPOSITION GROUPS. ANY OF THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS

THAT DECIDES TO HAVE A PUBLIC EVENT OVER THE FOURTH OF JULY,

THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE HOUNDED BY PROTESTERS.

PROBABLY GOING TO BE HOUNDED BY CONSTITUENTS.

I DON'T THINK TIME IS ON THE SIDE OF MITCH McCONNELL.

THEY HAVE A WEEK TO GET THIS DONE.

OR THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

This Book Tag is Full of Pride! - Duration: 19:21.

Hey everybody!

Welcome back to Tanner's Books and Beyond, today we're gonna be doing ym final video

for Pride Month and it is the This Book Tag is a Book Tag Full of Pride Book Tag!..

that can't be right.

This Book Tag is Full of Pride! There it is!

Here in Regina we actually had our pride parade about a week ago, it was awesome, I mean it

was raining, but it was still pretty awesome.

it did manage to clear up for the second half of it.

Everything else from that day was great too, I got to dance with Pikachu.

Ah, that was fun, he was getting real turnt.

Also, as you can see, I'm wearing a special shirt because my mom actually paints her and

myself and my dad, she paints us all new shirts every year for the pride parade.

This one I specifically designed myself with her help, and so I'm gonna try and get the

whole thing in frame - it says "we are all awesome" and it's got hearts with all the

flags, so we've got bisexual, asexual, gay, intersex, agender?

I believe?

No this is nonbinary, this is agender, and this is pansexual...and this is trans!

I wanted to include as many people as I could, and I'm actually thinking next year I might

do something similar and try and get even more on there because I'm sure there are groups that I've missed.

Anywho, the purpose of this tag is to basically just do book recommendations of as many queer

books as you can find off your bookshelf and I...have a significant amount!

Unfortunately I haven't gotten through all of them, some of these are things I haven't

read yet but I bought them on the word of other people so I'm still gonna sorta recommend them.

I'll specify what I have and haven't read.

Some of these I'll just be breezing through because I've already talked about them in

my previous Rainbow Flag Book Tag videos, which I'll link below as well so you can see

my thoughts on those.

I tried to categorize into groups and I was having difficulty because I do have a lot

of overlap and intersectionality between different sexuality and gender stuff, but I was able

to narrow them down to four piles.

We've got guys with guys, girls with girls, gender stuff, and what I just call "a bunch"

because...there's a bunch in them.

And of course some of them don't fit that neatly into the categories so I will expand

on what kind of representation is specifically in the book when I get to it.

So with that said, let's begin!

So first I've got the guys with guys pile, first book I have on top here is...oh god

I'm gonna drop all these.

First book I've got on here is Whatever, Or how Junior Year got Totally F*cked.

It's basicaly a bisexual stoner comedy.

It's in the guys with guys pile because the main love interest for the guy is another

guy, but they do make it pretty clear that he is bisexual.

I do kind of wish that they delved into that a bit more in this, but all in all it's a

very fun book so I recommend it purely on the fun factor.

Then we've got luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling.

I haven't read this, I actually just picked this up two days ago, but it looks fun, it's

one of those medieval fantasy-typse fares, it was recommended to me by RC from NekutheBOOKlocke.

If I remember it's got a bisexual guy in here, so he and another guy get together at some

point over the course of the book.

It looks fun, so I've got it on here.

Next I've got Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire

Saenz, I really liked this book, I talked about it in my Rainbow Flag Book Tag.

Next we've got Hero by Perry Moore.

This is about a kid who his two biggest secrets that he keeps from his dad is that he's gay

and he has super powers, and his dad isn't really keen on either of these things because

he used to be a superhero, and then he got blacklisted from the superhero team when he

was blamed for an attack on the city that he wasn't actually responsible for.

So it's the trials and tribulations of this kid going through a coming of age story and

he has to figure out how to deal with his sexuality and how to deal with being a superhero.

It's really good, it's the first queer book I ever read.

Before reading this I didn't even think about the fact that I hadn't read any other queer

books or really that many diverse books in general, and then I read this and I really

started to think about how this was the first time I'd really seen myself in a book, and

so it was kind of an experience reading this.

Next we've got Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

It's really good, explores a lot of stuff about coming out of the closet and being in

the closet, I talked about it more on my Rainbow Flag Book Tag so you should go check it out there.

Um, Young Avengers, the first run of Young Avengers from 2006 I think.

This one I've got in here because two of the characters, Wiccan and Hulkling, are in a relationship.

They don't really talk about the relationship they're in until a few issues on in the line,

but once they get it out in the open it becomes one of the major emotional cores of the whole series.

In fact, it wasn't supposed to be revealed until way later in the series apparently but

the readers caught on to the love between the two dudes, so quickly the writer's like

"well! Might as well stop pretending, let's get into it, let's just go full throttle towards the gay!"

Alright, next on this pile is More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera.

This is one I haven't read yet but it was heavily recommended by...basically everyone

I've watched on YouTube.

Far as I can tell its basically Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but with gay guys, so

that should be interesting.

Then there's We Are the Ants, which is the trauma conga line that I also talked about

in my Rainbow Flag Book tTag.

It's got really good gay representation and I guess...pansexual representation as well?

I mean they don't drop the word that's what I've come to understand pansexuality as?

And the last two books in the guys with guys pile are two that I got pretty recently.

I've got Fan Art by Sarah Tregay, which was heavily recommended by one of my offline friends,

she said "Tanner Oh My God you have to effing read this so we can talk about it forever

and ever" I'm like "okay calm down Yvette!"

This one is about a guy who starting to fall for his best friend but he doesn't even

know if his best friend is gay or not.

There's also a Greek Chorus of girls in the background who are shipping them really hard.

Sounds like it'll be interesting.

Then I have Rainbow Boys by Alex Sanchez.

This is a book that I just recently found out about but it looked pretty good.

It's from the early 2000s.

It was recommended by Caz from Catsandcamera.

Also apparently one of the characters is Matt Bomer?

Like...that was a surprise when I actually saw the cover!

Alright, that was the guys with guys pile, now we're gonna get into the girls with girls.

Oh god, so many of these are hardcovers.

*groaning* Oh, heavy!

Oh I don't have to work out today because I'm lifting so many books!

I'll start off with Gena/Finn.

The girl/girl relationship is really ambiguous as to whether it's romantic or not, like it's

hard to describe, it's one of those you really have to read.

I will say I did a review on this and said it's more about mental health than it is about

any kind of queerness, but you know the queer rep in it is still pretty good and pretty interesting.

There's a lot of layers to it, but it was really good, I really enjoyed it, I would recommend it.

Then I've got Run by Kody Keplinger, which is one of my favourite books of all time,

I talked about it in way more detail in the Rainbow Flag Book Tag.

Next up we've got Labyrinth Lost, which is about a girl who's a witch, but she doesn't

wanna be a witch, but when she tries to get rid of her powers she accidentally banishes

her entire extended family to Hell!

So that's an issue.

She ends up having to team up with the neighbourhood bad boy and her best friend from school in

order to try and save them.

It's not a huge spoiler but in the end the main girl Alex realizes that she's bi and

she gets together with her best friend Rishi.

They never really say if Rishi is a lesbian or bi, but in my mind's eye I'm saying she's

a lesbian because I can't see her ending up with any kind of guy at any point.

Then we have If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizen, whish is another book I talked about

in my Rainbow Flag Book Tag.

This was really good, and I totally recommend this as well.

I think my mom's going to be borrowing this soon because she really wants to read it.

Then we've got - oh my god this is huge - Runaways!

Um, by...uh by several people.

I only have the first volume here, but there are many other - so many more issues coming in after this.

It's a comic by Marvel comics, similar to Young Avengers in tone but different in storyline.

It's about a group of kids who find out that their parents are all supervillains and so,

well, they run away.

At some point - I probably shouldn't be holding this one, I should grab the second volume actually.

Ugh...huh. Here we go.

In the second volume after they've dealt with the first storyline it comes out that one

of the girls on the team, Karolina, she is a lesbian, and eventually she gets involved

with another...person named Xavin, and I say it like that because this is something that

could go in the gender pile.

Xavin is a Skrull, they're shapeshifting lizard aliens.

There's a whole thing where they're both aliens and Karolina was betrothed to Xavin before

either of them were even born in the hopes that their marriage could save their warring planets.

Xavin, when they ind out that Karolina only likes girls they're like "oh that's fine,

we're Skrulls, we can change gender as easy as hair colour!" *swish* "I'm a chick now!"

As the relationship develops Karolina, she loves Xavin, but there's a lot of talk about

gender and how humans see it versus how aliens see it and how Xavin is starting to internalize

some of the human culture elements of gender and how they're trying not necessarily to

do that, and it gets really interesting but it's something that's spread throughout the

whole run, so you're kinda gonna have to read the entire series to get the full effect,

but you totally should because a lot of the classic Runaways?

F*cking awesome.

Next we have Fun Home, which is another book I talked about in my Rainbow Flag Book Tag.

Next we have Huntress, which I keep on talking about because I keep on saying how I have

to reread it, and that is actually coming up soon! *snap* Stay tuned!

Then we've got Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley.

This one is about two girls that fall in love, and there's two problems.

First off it's in the fifties, and second off one's black and one's white, so it's just...all

the issues you could possibly have in a relationship stuffed into one thing.

Oh boy.

And the last book in the women with women pile is another one I haven't read yet, it's

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera.

This one is about a girl, Juliet, she's just moved to a new town and just came out to her

family and she's trying to figure out her life, and as she does so she also starts interning

for one of her favourite feminist authors, and she's hoping that in doing that she'll

be able to discover herself and figure herself out completely, and as YA goes we know that's

not entirely gonna happen!

So this is another one I'm also excited to read once I get to it.

Okay, so lets move on to the gender pile!

Now unfortunately this pile is not as big as my other piles just because, like, stuff

about people being transgender or nonbinary or genderfluid or agender, it's something

that's not as big a thing in the YA world or the literary world in general.

Recent stuff that I've read about books does show we are trending towards including that

stuff more and more, but it's still gonna be a while before the caliber and the quantity

can match all the other stuff we have right now for cis people.

Anyways the first book I have in this stack is Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.

This book is about a girl who her parents die, and so she goes to live with her best

friend and his mom.

His mom is a trans woman.

The three of them just kinda heal and bond over their love of cooking and being in the kitchen.

I haven't read it yet but it has gotten rave reviews from basically everyone I've seen

talking about it, so obviously it's gotta be doing something right.

Then we have Symptoms of Being Human, which is another one I haven't read but it is on

my queue shelf, it's gonna be read soon, within the next few months.

This one is about a person who is genderfluid, and on their therapists advice they start

a blog about their fluidity, like "I'm not a guy, I'm not a girl, I'm just trying to

be myself," and the trials and tribulations of being a genderfluid teen in today's world.

Then we've got Dreadnought by April Daniels, which I just picked up the other day.

It's about a transgirl who hasn't come out yet, she hasn't started transitioning, but

all of a sudden the greatest superhero falls in front of her and dies and passes all of

his powers on to her, and part of those powers involve turning her physically into a girl.

So it's something of a win/win/lose situation where it's like "yay I'm superpowerful, yay

I'm finally the kind of person I want to be, but uh-oh now everyone knows my darkest, scariest secret."

This has been getting a lot of attention and a lot of great reviews since it even appeared

on anyone's radar, so obviously this one is also gonna be really good.

Then finally for the gender pile we have If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo.

This is the only one in that pile that I actually have read, and I adored it.

It was so good I was saying it should be taught in schools.

I talk about it way more in my Rainbow Flag Book Tag, so you can head over there to find

out what it's about.

Alright, so now the final pile, which is the "a bunch" pile, so that's just the stuff that

has a whole bunch of representation and intersectionality and things I didn't want to categorize into

the other thing.

Oh my god, heavy pile.

So first in this stack is Young Avengers, and you're probably thinking "Tanner, you've

already talked about Young Avengers!" Listen.

This is the second full run, like there was the first run that was twelve issues, then

a few mini series, and then this was the second ongoing series.

Written by Kieren Gillen and Jamie McKelvie.

This just takes the beginning gayness of the first issues and just completely expands on it.

So in addition to Wiccan and Hulkling we have Prodigy, who's a former X-Man who's bisexual;

we have Miss America Chavez who's a lesbian; we have Kid Loki who never cuts any corners

on the fact that he is basically genderfluid and sexually fluid in every manner and basically

all Asgardians are.

And the whole run is really good, it's got a lot of stuff on being a teenager and dealing

with your parents and relationship stuff, it's also got an extradimensional parasite

that once ate the narrator, and the whole thing is very stylistic and it's kind of what

made me want togo back and read all the other Young Avengers stuff too.

Then there's Meg & Linus by Hanna Nowinski and this I've got in the "bunch of stuff" pile

because the main characters, Meg is a lesbian and Linus is a gay guy.

They're bonding over the fact that they both love Star Trek, and they both love coffee,

and they're both the only two queer people in town as far as they know.

So yeah, the drama and hilarity can ensue from that situation.

Then we've got The Eye in the Door by Pat Barker.

Pat Barker writes a lot of books on PTSD following WWI and WWII.

This one is just after WWI and it deals with paranoia about sexuality in Britain, so I

put it in the bunch of stuff pile because I don't know if it specifically focuses on

any one group or any one couple, I feel like it's more broad in its scope, so it's probably

gonna be hard to read once I get to it but it's also a really interesting topic that

I've love to delve into.

Let's see, Night Vale we talked about in the Rainbow Flag Book Tag where it doesn't have

a lot of overt queer representation but a lot of the background characters are queer

and it's a major element in the book that queerness is not a big issue in the town of

Night Vale; no one cares what you like or who you like or what you identify as, so it's

all - it's all good!

Then I have Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah Moskowitz, and the reason this is in the other

stuff pile is because the main character Etta, she's bisexual but her relationships with

guys and with girls are both given equal value.

Like, one of them isn't declared to be better for her over the other, and so that's kind

of a rarity in a lot of bisexual literature, but obviously Hannah Moskowitz is gonna be

able to do that fine because she is bisexual, she knows the deal.

Next up is Every Heart a Doorway and unless this is your very first video on BookTube

you probably already know the entire plot of this because everyone has been talking about it.

But just in case you haven't, I talked about it more in my Rainbow Flag Tag.

It's fantasy, it has an asexual main character and a trans main character, I think everyone

under the sun has recommended it and I do too!

Pile of Bones is another book that I recommended in the Rainbow Flag Book Tag.

It's got really good representation.

They don't really label a lot of stuff.

One main character is gay and another one is bi or pan; one of the girls is either a

lesbian that dated guys in the past or a fully-fledged bisexual, they never make it clear which;

then there's another girl who is obviously interested in women but she has a kid so clearly

she was with a guy in the past and they never say if she's a lesbian or bisexual or what.

But the point is!

The entire main cast is queer and that's just beautiful.

Finally we've got The Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie.

This is possibly my favourite comic book series of all time...and this is possibly my favourite

collected edition of any comic series because it's so shiny!

IT'S SO PREEEETTYYYY!

And I'm not gonna hold it for the whole video because it's also really heavy.

Anyways the plot of Wicked + Divine is that every 90 years the gods are reincarnated as

young adults, and then they basically just live as rockstars and they're worshipped as

celebrities and all that stuff, and after two years they go out in a blaze of glory,

which usually means they're just dead...and on fire...and missing their heads.

And it's also really great for representation because pretty much the entire cast is gay,

I mean - see now I do need to pick it up so I can go through everybody and not leave anyone out.

We've got Amaterasu, who experiments with girls.

We've got Lucy who is gender...weird because it's Lucifer but invarnated in a female body,

and she plays it fast and loose with the androgyny and she's also attracted to girls, so we're

not sure quite exactly what extent anything is there.

Got Sakhmet who has plenty of orgies so gender is whatever, Baphomet and Morrigan are like

the only mainstay couple and honestly I think they just have single target sexuality towards each other.

Minerva is twelve years old and not getting with anybody, Woden is an asshole,

Dionysus - I don't think Dionysus specified his sexuality *voiceover* "That was a mistake on my part,

I was actually rereading some other issues of WicDiv afte recording this and he does

actually mention his sexuality, he's ace!

So, yay! Ace representation!"

Inanna is like Luci in that they are a female goddess but incarnated in a male body, so

the reverse I guess.

They go by he/him pronouns but that's just because the haven't really found anything

that encapsulates all of what they are and they're also in a gay relationship with Baal,

who his first time with a guy was with Inanna.

Inanna was like his closet key so they're the other OTP of the series.

Then we've got Tara who at no point is really specified what she's into, and then we got

Urdr, and Urdr is a trans woman and is also involved in a...far as we can tell a poly

relationship with two other girls.

Okay, so that covers all of my queer books, I mean, I probably missed something, there's

probably something else back here, but after lifting all of those, so many of them are

hardcovers, my arms are so tired! *sigh* Anyways this would be the part where I tag people,

but I've kind of been fast and loose with the tagging or not tagging of people in the

past few videos just because I've seen a lot of pride videos going up on my feed and I

wasn't necessarily sure whether to tag people or not, whether people are gonna do this or

not, plus the fact that ChrisVigilante who tagged me for this basically tagged

everyone who I would've tagged as well.

So I wasn't really sure what to do, but I decided instead of explicitly tagging people,

I'm just gonna recommend my favourite queer booktubers.

So first up, like I said, we've got Chris Vigilante who tagged me for this video, he

also did this tag beforehand.

It's this awesome 20 minute long thing of book recommendations and I probably would've

gotten more recommendations off of that video if I hadn't already gotten so many from him

already peppered throughout his other videos.

(And of course everything I'm gonna link to in the bottom).

There's also Cas from CatsandCamera, who I also mentioned earlier in this video I think.

She did a two-part video on all of her gay and queer recommendations.

There's one video that was just books and another one that was also like, comics and

tv shows and I think she also did movies too?

She really just covered the whole gamut of stuff you can look for for representation,

so that was awesome.

Then we've got Dylan the Reader, he did a video on his top 5 LGBTQIA recommendations

and I thought that was a pretty good video, so I'm gonna recommend this as well.

And then, oh! Obviously we have RC from NekuTheBOOKlocke, he's like, my guy

when it comes to this kind of stuff.

He did the Rainbow Flag Book Tag last year, and so that's why I did mine just recently.

He also recently did this whole video on sexuality in literature and just sexuality in general,

and it was really good and it was really heartfelt.

So if you're not gonna watch his whole channel - well, what's wrong with you?

*chuckles* But if you're not gonna watch his whole channel then at least watch that video

because that's just such a good video.

And then we'e got RJ from RJReads; I don't think he's specifically done a video on queer

book recommendations or anything similar to that topic, but he is gay and he does do some

pretty good videos, so you should definitely throw some support his way as well.

And that's everyone I can think of!

If I missed you...sorry.

I've been recording this for an hour, I've been trying to get as much information as

I can, so I'm sure I accidentally skipped somebody.

Anyways, this is the part of the video where I ask for recommendations!

So you can recommend me other books or y'know, movies or tv shows or comics or YoutTubers

or strange-looking clouds that have really good queer representation, and I'll definitely

follow up on that at some point.

I have such a long list of things to get through.

It might be a while, but I'll definitely look at them before I die!

So in conclusion, queer books are great, happy pride everybody, and I'll see you all *snap* later!
