So, welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. You know, have you ever tried something new only to realize you weren't very good at it and then you gave up, actually pretty quickly? Or maybe you skipped something altogether because you were afraid of looking foolish. That sounds more like me. If you answered yes, then this podcast is for you.  Karen, who has published multiple best-selling books on health and wellness, including the Plant Paradox and the Longevity Paradox by yours truly, says we live in an era of aspirational psychosis. Boy, if you don't turn in to hear about aspirational psychosis, I don't know what's going to catch you. In other words, we prioritize success over play, in fact, success over almost everything and avoid trying things we're likely to struggle at and it's hurting us actually a lot more than we know.  Karen reveals the pitfalls of playing it safe and why perfection is overrated. Today she's going to share with us what she's learned by embracing and even celebrating her shortcomings. This is going to be fun. And how opening yourself up to failure can ultimately help you to live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. Karen, thanks for joining us. I always see you in New York City and I'm happy to have you out here in LA. I'm thrilled to be in your home, so thank you. So you talk about taking up surfing at age 40. Why did you get in the water at age 40? I'd always wanted to surf my whole life and I was terrified. I was terrified of getting out in the ocean, of losing purchase with the bottom and being out past the break, which you have to do when you surf. And when I had children, strangely, I became less afraid or really the old fears were replaced by new fears. So I was no longer afraid to try. So that was part of it, just to try. The other thing is that because I had wanted to surf, I didn't want to get to the other side of my life and say, I've never done it. So I took one lesson and I thought, okay, I'm going to take one lesson and that's it. I might just get it out of the way. But at least I will have pushed through that fear and tried. I think part of the fear factor, too, is that I had babies, I was filled with oxytocin, which is a fear inhibitor, and I think really I became sort of more fierce in a way. And I thought, I can do this, so I took one lesson and that one lesson changed my entire life. And then after that one lesson, and this is going to sound completely, it's a reveal, a little bit of insanity, but we're going to talk about that, it took me five years to actually catch a wave.  And it was the most fulfilling, one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done besides having children. Five years? Five years is too long for anybody to be reasonable about, keep trying. But what I realized is that the process of it, getting off of terra firma, getting out in the water, partly where no one could reach me, you're going to a place- Including your kids? Including my kids, yes. Absolutely. Well, just weird, no one could reach me and ask anything of me, and something I did just for myself. There was no reasonable reason to surf, right? We do it for pleasure. And that's true of a lot of hobbies that we do. You can see what the effects are, whether it's for your health or for a nimble or mind. But I think that distraction from what is calling to your obligations, your responsibility and the things that you embrace and want to do, but getting away from that, having a respite to me brought me so many gifts and the waves became the bonus. And I stopped pushing to say, I have to succeed at this because trying is really where I'm getting a lot of, a lot of the good stuff is hiding. And that started the whole process of the suck at something kind of really philosophy in my head. So you literally aren't very good. This is not humble bragging. I'm really not good. In fact, I posted, I had an essay in the New York Times a couple years ago, and I wrote about sucking at surfing.  She goes on these trips and she talks about it. She has a really good language around it. She knows a lot of surfers. And so people just assumed that I said I sucked at it and I was being humble. And what I did when I wrote that piece is I put up a video which I had never dared to do before. And I went, you know what? You're just going to have to go all the way. And I put up a video of me surfing. And I mean, I surf the wave, but I'm a kook. But a colleague came into my office and she said, wow.  And I said, yeah, I do. And I said, how does that make you feel? She goes, it kind of makes me happy. And I said, I understand that. She's like, yeah, I thought you were so cool and you did this thing. And I said, no, I'm not, and I don't do it to be cool. And it just, it was the best exchange. I didn't, I wasn't insulted by it. I went, yes.  Invite the world in. So because you weren't very good at it, was that an impetus for you to keep trying? Just, I mean, if you mastered it instantly, maybe go, yeah, that's fine. And maybe I'll try something else. I mean, the point of your book is, you know.  So my, my, yes, exactly. So if I had been really good at it, right? I think things that come easily to us, which I don't know, not that many things come easy to me. Maybe it's, I tend to do them, but I'm not as aware, right? I don't have the, the extreme awareness, the mindfulness that it takes to, to concentrate on something that's always new, right? So novelty, novelty is good for our brains. It's good for our nervous system. We need it. Without novelty, we would have never progressed. We wouldn't have become civilized, you know, more or less. And I think that novelty has a certain balance in our, in our minds, right? So when you're really good at something, you kind of have an expectation that, yeah, you, I mean, okay, one of the things I was really good at when I was a kid is I was good at languages. And French came really easily to me. And I loved it. I loved it. And I did it. And I studied it. You know what? I didn't study it hard enough. Because I thought, ah, I got this. It's easy. And I didn't have that discipline. Surfing has been, is the hardest physical thing I've ever done. And I think because of that, it's always new. I'm always present. You have to be so present. I'm always, I'm always grateful. Because I just to be in the ocean and be doing it.  Like, you're grateful for the, for the privilege of being able to do it. And you're always having to learn. And that sense of novelty never goes away. And it's a, it's a very, okay, so it sounds counterintuitive, but it's an empowering feeling.  Then that's, that's undergirding all. This is that, is a lot of self-acceptance and self-compassion about sucking at something. Which is part of, another part of the story. So, so, all right. So you, you get in the water at age 40 and you're horrible at it. But now, you know, fast forward 15 years later, you serve eight out of 12 months a year. I do. I try to get in the water. And you travel to exotic surf spots and spend a lot of money on boards. And yet you just aren't very good at this. A little irresponsible, yes. Why do you keep doing it? Well, so my dad asked me that once. He would come up and watch me. We lived by the ocean in New Jersey. And he would come up and watch me, you know, years ago. And he'd say, why do you, just like that? Why do you do it? Why do you keep doing it? And I said, because it taught, it teaches me so, I get so much more out of it than just the act of surfing. I mean, what, everything around it. So I'm in nature. I am in the ocean which I am both terrified of and also love and want to be in as much as possible. And so that tension to me makes me feel very alive all the time. You, okay, and this is all surfing, but I think you can apply this to everything, to any sport, to any hobby, to a musical instrument, to dance too. But I think the thing, I keep trying because in that trying, I learn a lot about myself. And I've had to come to grips with this idea of usually when we do things, we do it because we have a goal in mind, we have a reward in mind. We really think that I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna get something back. It's transactional. When you let go of that goals mindset, reward mindset, the transactional mindset, and then you just be, you learn a lot about yourself. You learn about how to forgive yourself when you screw it up. You learn how to have humility because when you're doing something and when you're doing something in a community, people around you are often better than you are. And so to keep putting yourself in a community where you're not the one who's good at it, is very humbling, which isn't a bad thing. One of the other things that would happen is because I was so bad at it, nobody ever asked me for anything about serving. Nobody wanted to know what I knew because I didn't know. And what it invited, and this is one of the most beautiful parts about, I think sucking at something, is that when you're not good at something, it invites kindness and assistance from others to help you. And you have to be open, humble enough and also acknowledge that you need that help. And I think so many of us are like, I got this, I don't need help, I'm an expert, I can tell you what to do, I know it has to get done. We think we're in control of things.  And a lot of beautiful stuff is hiding underneath this failure. And we don't, instead of pathologizing that failure, we celebrate it and we learn from it. I think that's a great point. And it actually reminds me of something that happened a few weeks ago to Penny, my wife, and I, when we were in Ethiopia with Charity Water. And on the last day, there is this mountain, for lack of a better word, that they invite you to climb because there's a church carved into the rock that you can only reach by literally climbing the mountain. And they told us it was a moderate difficulty hike. It was not a moderate difficulty hike. It was actually a dangerous climb. There were ledges that you could fall to your deaths and there were holds anyhow. They had Sherpas, Ethiopian Sherpas to guide us and both Penny and I, I can do this, I can do this.  And these guys would initially say, okay, put your foot here, here's the handhold. And as it got steeper and steeper and more and more treacherous, we're to the point now that, boy, do we really trust our push and am I gonna fall?  And I finally said, no, this is getting past my comfort and I started using his hand and she got up to the top. She said, you know, that was one of the most interesting things that's ever happened to me. She said, I had to trust another person who I did not know that could get me through this and I said, you know, you're right. And I said, I had to trust that you knew what you were doing to trust that person. Otherwise I would have just, probably would have turned around. It was that difficult and wow. So anyhow, so we got, yeah. But that's it. So the exchange is not only going up the mountain and then getting through it and seeing this amazing church happiness experience. It was the way you communed with these people who you probably will never even see again, right? No.   I actually, And you ski? I do ski. I learned to ski at 42. Oh, do you know what this is about? I had never been on, and my wife Penny is an excellent skier started at three. And so, you know, I'm horrible at it but I know exactly what you're saying and I keep going back. So why? Because once you kind of get underway, I guess. Yes.  But one of the really interesting things that we ski mostly Deer Valley in Utah Salt Lake City. And there's this hill that's, it's a blue, maybe a double blue that you kind of have to get down to get where you wanna end up but there's a safe path, a little green to go around it and Penny of course would always, you know, go down and I'd do the green path meter down there and she'd be waiting for me. And I kept saying year after year, I've gotta get to the point where I can go down that hill. And finally, I think I must have been eight years before I could get probably not the skill set, I probably always had the skill set but the ability to say, I can get down this hill and it makes such a difference. I didn't get down the hill well, I still don't but now I go down the hill.   I wanna see some video of that.  Totally, it's me on a surfboard. I just making the wave is enough and every once in a while I know what to do on it and that's great but I have to let go. See, I do a lot of the practice of this and I think that's a kind of a discipline but I say sucking at something takes practice is what I say a lot that we're one of the refrains in the book because I have to practice being okay with it because I can get hard on myself. Now I will paddle out sometimes and I get hammered. I mean, I have been, I try to surf bigger and bigger waves but I've gone in places where I just, I can't handle it and I have to forgive myself for not being able to handle it and then sometimes just getting hammered and then just getting spit back to shore and just say, okay, it's too big for me and not getting upset with myself for not being able to do it so there's that constant I am, it is again, it's new, it's novel, it's always, so that's the thing about sucking at something is that it's not, you're gonna get better, you're gonna be able to go down the double blue without going the way of the green, you're gonna be able to do it, you might not do it, it might not be beautiful and I'm gonna be able to surf bigger waves and more waves but even when I make that wave and I surf it well, I wanna get another one, I wanna get a bigger one, I wanna surf it better so that sucking at something is like, there's an idea that people say, why would you wanna be bad at something? It's like, well, it's basically it's like, who's not, who doesn't need to improve? I mean, pro surfers of which there are like, what, 30 or 40 on the world tour have coaches, right? So I think there's this idea that things should be easy and my point is nothing's easy, people make certain things look easy and those are the people who are the experts but things are so much harder and if you say, yes, it's hard and then forgive yourself for the struggle and then have fun with the struggle and then always know that you're gonna get better but then you're gonna suck compared to the next person and then you go, yeah, I'm okay with that, there's always gonna be somebody better and I can have this mindset that helps me keep doing it, finding the joy in it and all the benefits in it.  Is that what you're implying? I am saying absolutely because what it teaches you, if you say everything, I mean, let's just hypothetically say that there is someone for whom, I can't imagine what this would be, everything came easily and I know that there are certain people, we look at others, we go, oh yeah, that person's beautiful and talented and everything they do is so good and why am I not that person?  So my thing is that it's a great counterbalance. So I think a lot of our lives is about reaching balance, that's true physiologically, it's true emotionally and psychically and that if you say, okay, I am driven all the time towards this goal, towards being an expert, towards being really good at what you do, you have to be good as a doctor, you don't have to be good as a skier and you know what, there's freedom and relief and beauty in that balance.  I cook, I'm an awesome cook and I cook a lot. But you know what, sometimes I make crap food, like sometimes I just blow it and instead of getting kind of beating myself up for it or sometimes I'll make a decision in publishing and put your fingers in your ears, but that isn't maybe the best decision and I have to say, okay, I know what that looks like and instead of getting all freaked out and what people do, they blame somebody else and they make excuses and they try to hide behind it, you go, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna learn from that instead and it really has taught me to accept my failing and failings at the things that really do matter, like my work and being a parent is probably one of the most important things any of us do, right? And man, I don't always get it right. And sucking at things that don't matter give you the tools to learn how to accept the mistakes and the failures that you make and the things that do matter. So that's why I think it's, yeah, that's why I think it's great to suck at something. That's why I think it's important to put yourself in that position so that you're not always the master because we're not. So you talk a lot about your struggles with breast cancer, your battle with it. Yeah, it's a chapter. And so, you're not going to catch waves. How did that help you in that time or did it? Well, you know, it was interesting when I was diagnosed and before the prognosis came in and then the prognosis kind of did a beat and switch so it was okay and then it got worse and then whatever, you know, things happen when you get sick. What was interesting about it is that I had two questions. The first one was like, oh, am I going to die?   But besides that, and the second question was am I going to be able to surf again? And I thought, wow, that's interesting. I'm not asking myself, am I going to be able to, you know, lift weights, run, cook, you know, work? It was, was I going to be able to paddle out again? Like, what was that? And I thought, oh, that's interesting. So the thing I do the worst in my life is not, and it's too heavy to say that it's a reason to live because the reason to live is all the obvious reasons we know, you know, it would be first and foremost to be with my friends and family and loved ones. But besides that, the thing I did worse was one of the reasons why I wanted, not so much to live, of course, but to get better and stronger again.  And knowing that, this is interesting, I had, I did this weird calculus. So first year devastated because the diagnosis is devastating or going, oh, you know, and I thought, okay, I don't wanna have to go through this and be anxious and angry and all that. And I thought, well, I'm used to sucking at surfing. I know how to do that.  And I was going, that's taught me a lot. Well, maybe having cancer is like an adventure. Maybe it's gonna be an adventure the same way that surfing is an adventure. And I'm gonna change that because I'm gonna enter a new world that I know nothing about, right? So then you're with your oncologist and your radiologist and your surgeons and your internist and your cardiologist and you've got a host of people. And what you do is all of a sudden you're moving, you're paddling out into a different universe. And instead of being terrified by it, I thought, well, I don't know anything here but I've got a lot to learn. And I'm gonna have to trust going back to your climb to that hill or mountain in Ethiopia, I'm gonna have to trust people to help get me there.  And when you have cancer, you have to surrender a little bit to the care of experts. And then you have to fight to get strong again. And the surfing part really helped me to, and by the way, I had to start all over again. I had to start from the very beginning after that because I had so many surgeries and two rounds of chemo and it was a year of kicking my butt to the point where I felt like I was as close to dead as I've ever been, clearly. And then I said, four weeks, I'm gonna be in Costa Rica. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna surf. My family was like, I don't think you should do that. I was like, I'm getting in the water. I'm gonna surf. And you know what? Well, it's in the book, but yeah, I did it and it took me, and I had to start from the very beginning again because that was so weak. And you know what, two years later, I was not only back, but I got better at it. And I think I got better at it because it's like, yeah. You know what I mean? You're kind of going, I could. You're the female Lance Armstrong. Yeah, well, no, because he's actually, he's actually very good at what he does. This is me just getting back to sucking at it, but it didn't matter. My point was just doing it was enough pull for me to push through.  And if we aren't pros, we wanna abandon it and that means we avoid all these things that we aren't good at. So what does that say about us as a whole, our society? Well, I think we're told by the media and social media and you know, the kind of message is, you know, be the best or nothing at all. How many bests are there? How many of us are the best? I mean, maybe you, I'm not, I don't know. I'm not a good skier. You're not a good skier, well, exactly. So I think there's this, and also, you know, again, the aspirational psychosis stuff, and the fact of the matter is I publish these books and I do believe that in, you know, books that kind of inspire and push you to push through, you know, your fears and your limitations and the things that kind of the noise in your head, this is actually meant to do the same thing, but the idea is that we believe, we really believe that we're entitled to be good and succeed at everything. And I think that's the wrong message, experience, full stop. That's where value is, right? You can just put a period on that. And I think the message that we get, okay, so that's one thing, is that the message, the internal message, right? This myth of perfection, you know, perfectionism, there's, we've all heard this, it's like, well, you know, I'm such a perfectionist that, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, I can't complete that thing, I can't do that, or I haven't, or it's not as good as it should be. And that's like a weird, it's like a weird crutch, right? Like, the myth of perfectionism, right? So that's one of the things I wanna do in this book is just bust it. Because the fact of the matter of perfectionism and there are studies on this, it goes back to Adler, Alfred Adler is a psychologist, you know, but there are studies that are done on it now, but that our pursuit of perfection is actually, it's almost a pathology, right?  It's our drive, because we need to strive and drive. That's a natural instinct. But we almost take it too far, and we wanna be perfect, and wanting to be perfect, it stops us from doing anything. If, you know, and it's just starting things in the first place. If we accept our imperfections, right?  They, you know, it prevents, you know, anxiety and depression disorders by accepting our imperfections. If you are striving to be perfect, it's going to put pressure on you, and you're not gonna be able to succeed, and you just think about it, you just bop yourself in. Like, you would never have another ski trip, and love, and have all that joy that you share, right? With your wife, if you were saying, until I get, until I'm really good on the slopes, right? I'm not going. And then that would be sad. You would be sad because, you know, she'd be up on the mountain, and you'd be in the lodge. I'd be doing the apreski, yeah, wait a minute. The apreski would get pouring over, it's good, but it's only apre, that counts, right? It's not the apreski. That's right, that's right. All right, so, guidelines for people who wanna get outside their comfort zone, wheelhouse? Yeah, so one of the things I prompt that I've been asking people is like, okay, cause people don't know where to start, cause they have a lot of anxiety about this, and they think, oh God, so there are a couple of things. So first, one of the ways to get started is to ask yourself questions, right? It's like, most of us grow up and say, how, you know, seeing people do things is like, oh, I would love, I've heard this a million times, I would love to do that. Do it, right? So the thing is like, don't do it and expect to be good at it. Do it once, do it once, try it.  I took up a guitar, I liked it, and I sucked at it. But it didn't, it wasn't driving me to keep going when I took, when I surfed for that first time, I got that one, somebody pushed me in a way this big and I stumbled off, my bathing suit fell, I was a mess, I was a hot mess, and but I had that feeling of like, oh yeah, this is it. So my thing is like, try a lot of things and don't expect to love it, don't expect to, you might even be good at it, who knows, but and then don't be afraid to walk away and find something else, that's another thing. So you ask yourself, is there something that you've always wanted to do? And then start small, and don't start something where the barriers to entry are too high. I mean, I started surfing because I lived by the ocean. If I lived by a mountain, I might have started skiing, but I didn't, right?   Well, you know what? I always go back to this idea of let yourself fantasize about what you wanna do. And again, it could be singing, for example. I was just talking to somebody yesterday who took up guitar and singing after 40 or late in life. And it wasn't after 40, but it was later in life where it was like, you know, it's hard to learn a musical instrument or a language or something like that. And you just do it, you do it in stuff like that. You can just do it in your own home. You can do it quietly. You don't have to announce it. You don't have to commit to it. It's almost like all of the pressures that you usually feel to succeed, to commit to take a stand and say, I'm gonna do this. Instead, you just say, I'm gonna do it and I'm doing it for me. I don't have to succeed. And it's allow yourself to try it without pushing and making that full commitment. Because as soon as you say, I don't have to do this again, oh, but I want to, right? It's like letting yourself off the hook because we don't let ourselves off the hook for so many things. So that's a big cue. So can social media help with this? Okay, that's a really good question. So partly, I think social media, like everything else, there's a yin yang of it, right? So social media, that aspirational psychosis happens because in social media, we are framing and presenting the best, most awesome parts of ourselves, which is great because share the good stuff. I hope in my, I hope that I will start a little bit of a trend of saying, sharing what we're not good at. Not as a way, and here's the rule. The rule is you can't share, I can't share what you're not good at, you can't share what I'm not good at. You're just gonna, I'm gonna celebrate your skiing, you're gonna celebrate my surfing, we're gonna celebrate my friends, guitar playing and singing, but we can share our own fault lines and in doing that and learning to sort of be comfortable with that vulnerability and comfortable with that discomfort, I think, I mean, really what I think you invite is community and love and, you know. Yeah, I mean, and I won't mention any names, but there's a person who took up the lectin' free lifestyle and did it, bought an RV and started her Instagram feed about being, her being in an RV trying to do lectin' free and she became actually very popular, but she announced, I don't know anything about this. And you're gonna watch Ms. Dunlop. And you're gonna watch me do this. Yes. So that's why, and I, and it was, I think people liked it. I think it's great. I think it allows, I think by watching you struggle, by watching me struggle, it allows, you know, it allows for us to, again, to forgive ourselves for just not being, not being an expert. And I think that if we share more, we allow for that. And then, you know, all the, the other thing is like, you know, the haters online and because what goes, you know, there's the support groups that we find online and on social media, and then there are the trollers and the haters.  You take this thing out of it, right? That's true.   Well, there's pretty bad trollers. And I think that, honestly, I think that that is because they already feel, I mean, really the people who are doing that, the haters is really just externalizing something that they feel inside, which is sad, right? So I think in this practice, this practice is meant to sort of get on top of that and to try to give us some awareness at how we are so self-critical, right? And to try to be a little bit less self-critical. And then I think we actually judge others less when we do that. Okay, so what do you say to people who say, well, this is silly, you should, you know, you should really find things you're good at and concentrate on good at and don't waste your time on things you're bad at because it's a waste of time. It's just, it's the opposite of a waste of time because, again, what it does is what you're good at, you don't access the important stuff, which is tenacity, resilience, improvisation, grit.   So if you only do what you're good at because you want people to see you as only being good at it, there is something sad about that, I think. So the idea is that, pursuing the things you're talented in, by the way, by all means, do that.  I'm saying one thing, pick a thing and then pick a thing and that's where you get to fail and where you get to forgive yourself and you learn these skills that are going to help you where in the places where your proclivities are sort of towards talent and that is going to make you better because even in the way in which you're talented, you're going to screw up but they're not gonna mess you up so much when you do that because you're gonna have had some practice over here where it doesn't matter as much. I think the other thing, to add to that is it's really good to laugh at yourself. Oh, failing. You know what, that is one of the great gifts in the world and laughing at yourself, again, not at others. You know what I mean? There is just such a relief in going, oh man, I have a story in the book where I do, I laugh at myself all the time in the water because I am such a poop. Well Karen, it's been great to have you actually in person on the podcast. Yes, I know, I'm thrilled to have you. How does the audience find you in the book? So the book goes on sale on May 7th, officially, everywhere, and also you can go to suckatsomething.com and what I'm hoping happens is that the audience will share their stories and then I suck at social media so I'm just trying to figure this out but I have a Facebook group that I've just created and it's by invitation and I'm figuring out just please, we can figure out a way for you to join. I should have an answer to this but I'm getting help on the social media side but what I'm hoping is that people will share their stories. So via the website, karinaldi.com is my author website but suckatsomething.com is where this idea lives. All right, well thanks for being here today. As you know, we have an audience question before we send it off, okay. All right, and you don't have to answer this one. Jane Chester Weisbecker on Facebook asks, is there any difference in the various sweet potatoes? Are some better for us than others? Oh, that's a tough question. Actually, it's a pretty easy question. Karin won't remember but when I was writing The Plant Paradox, I actually had about four pages explaining the difference between a yam and a sweet potato and because initially we banned sweet potatoes, the orange guys because, and I won't go into it today but they're different than yams. One's a morning glory and one's a lily and we used to eat yams in Africa and morning glories are from the United States but anyhow, it got so confusing and so long that Julie, my editor, Julie, well, we both said, this is ridiculous, you can eat yams and sweet potatoes and we won't worry about it. My favorite sweet potato, answer your question, find the Japanese blue or purple sweet potatoes. They are becoming far more prevalent in stores. We actually have them in regular grocery stores here in California now. The anthocyanins, that pigment is one of the best polyphenols to get in your mouth so that's my tip. If you can't find that, the ugly skinny ones that kind of have the white color inside are actually usually yams and they're actually better for you than the sweet potatoes and they're usually mislabeled in the grocery store so that's why we quit trying to talk about it. All right, so that's it for this episode of the Dr. Gundry podcast. I hope we didn't suck at it, but if we did right, I wanna know because I'm actor Gundry and I'm always looking out for you.

hello everyone this is financial author Amit Dan of amitdan.com on this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now if you like what you see please give me the thumbs up and consider subscribing hello everyone this is amitdan of amitdan.com today i'll talk about how to apply for indian visa from canada but before i do that i'd like to mention that right now i'm in downtown toronto in a park which is the coronation and the temperature is 23 degrees Celsius with 12 months per hour wind and the humidity level is 65 percent and the sunset is about at nine o'clock so what it means that at 10 o'clock still is going to be light outside so in canada in summer the days are always longer and even if it's 10 o'clock it feels like it's still it's a daylight so i just went through the visa obtaining process to go to india for upcoming india visit and i'd like to share my experience and i'd like to mention how to apply for indian tourist visa from canada now the process applying for other types of visas such as e-visa or medical visa are different and i'm not talking about that i'm talking about only tourist visa which i applied for canada and if you are watching this from other parts of the world for example like usa or european countries then most likely the process would be very similar however for different country the process is different so you should check with your local indian consulate before you go through any process and applying for indian visa application and also i'd like to mention that the information is accurate as of right now by the time you're watching this video things might have changed and the information i'm going to provide you may no longer be valid so always check on the indian consulate website and at your local indian consulate before you apply and going for any tourist visa or any kind of visa so the first thing in order to visit india most of the citizens of the most countries would require visa only a handful of countries citizens do not require a visa to visit india and there will be issued visa upon arrival and the link i'm going to provide on the screen which is the bls link they do have a list of those countries for which you do not need visa so if you are a citizen of one of those countries then you do not need visa but you know check before you apply or just starting your trip to india now in order to apply for indian visa you need to submit your application online through the indian consulate website and i'll give you that link right on the screen and you have to apply online and then once you go through the online application process then it will give you an option to do a printout so you need to have that printout and then once you have the printout and all other required documents such as pictures passports and there might be other necessary documents so obtain those what these documents will be mentioned on the website so once you have everything then you need to go to the bls center in your local area bls is a third-party outsourcing company which looks after the indian visa processing application and they are the one who actually looks after the whole thing so you have to go to your local bls center to submit the application now you can actually submit the application via mail but i do not recommend that it's best that you submit directly going to their center the reason for that if you have a slight mistake then your application will be declined and it will be sent back however if you are at the local center then they'll tell you right away that where is the mistake you made and you'll have a chance to re submit the application you're going to have to just go to a nearest computer center where you can reprint the online application again and as long as you're before the cutoff time you can just submit at the center so once you submit a bls everything required including the application pictures passport and anything else then you'll be given an option to either have that passport back via courier or you can walk in to the bls center another time whenever it's ready to get your passport back now for my own application i chose to just have it sent via courier because i didn't want to go back there however you have an option there to go pick up or just get it via courier now at the bls center there might be a long line or there may not be long line depending on what day and what time you go the time when i went it i didn't have to wait too long i finished the whole process within two hours and then for myself i actually got the visa in two business days however i heard many bad complaints or numerous negative reviews about the whole process and the bls and indian consulate but for me i was surprised that everything went so smooth i do have another video on that where i mentioned that the treatment or the smooth application process i went through so i the results might be based on your own situation and you may be able to get visa right away or there may be delay if they require further information or there's any error or they need to investigate anything further now i'd like to mention that my trip is coming in november so i applied for visa early or about six month early because i didn't want to wait at the last moment and once you have everything ready then you can start your trip to go to india to visit various historic places and other stuff now by the end of this video i'll show you around this beautiful place in toronto and this is located in the heart of downtown toronto and across me uh there's the lake ontario and then there is an island airport right behind me so again i thank you for watching this video if you like what you see please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing and all the links i mentioned i'll be given those links will be given on the screen and again before you actually go through any application process just make sure that the information you are getting is accurate and up to the moment because any visa application process information can change anytime so by the time you are watching this video just make sure that you check the consulate website or you call bls to get up to date information that's all for today thanks for watching please hit the subscribe button if you like what you see and consider hitting the like button and there will be more videos coming up thank you goodbye


is all we need. Welcome to week 13 of the NFL season. You're watching Fandall TV's more ways to win. Thanks for hanging with us. You know how we roll we're betting the biggest games handing out best bets and dropping DFS best value plays as well. I'm Lisa Kearney with my guys here in Los Angeles. Listen I'm just the point guard here.  Our sports writing expert Dave Weaver. You know this guy here. Super Bowl champion James Jones in the house. And as always we've got you covered across the country. Sports Talk radio host Andrew Filiponi joining us from Pittsburgh and the face of Marquis Sports Network. Call right in Chicago. Guys somehow we're already at week 13. So let's do this thing. Let's kick it off. More ways to win starts now. Coming out of the game is hot. Two division leaders going head to head here. We got the seven and four Titans at the 10 and one Eagles. Both of these teams have dominant rushing attacks because Derek Henry ranking second in the league in rushing yards. Eagles as a team. Third in rushing yards per game. But listen the Titans D ranks third in stopping the run. The Eagles 18th. Now is that going to be a problem for Philly. Got to ask our escorts about that. We're betting this game with a litigious twist. We're in Judge James court room to debate. Yes get your gavel. Dave and Pony you each pick a side argue your case. Judge James will be listening to each your arguments and then we'll declare his order in the court. Dave you will be presenting your case first. Eagles giving four and a half. Which side do you like. Well I mean I don't know who pony's taking because we're into week 13 now. He has to pick the Titans once his whole point is they haven't played anybody. Pony pay attention. The Titans are the best covering team in football. They covered this year 73 percent of the time. They're eight and three against a spread. I think they're going to win this game outright. Lisa played it out. They have the rushing defense aside from the San Francisco 49ers. The Titans are the second best at allowing only 3.9 yards per attempt. So the Eagles are not going to be able to run all over them in the red zone when the Titans have the ball. Their fifth best in touchdown percentage. Look this is just a hard team to blow out. OK. Week number two pony. That's the week you always go back Buffalo blew them out. That's the one good team they played. Forget about that game. They didn't show up that day. This is a hard team to blow out. The if they lose they lose by one. They lose by three. They lose by four. Any of those scenarios. They cover the spread. I'm sorry. I don't have my glasses on. Is that line say 14 and a half or four and a half. It was a drop. OK. They don't need to blow them out to cover the spread here. And shame on you for making it sound like all the Eagles can do Dave is run the ball. Jalen Hertz is a MVP candidate because he's dual threat and the Titans are 31st against the past. And last I checked AJ Brown place for Philly now. Not the Titans say all you want about Derek Henry and what a great player he is. It's all true. But the fact of the matter is he has not been a great rusher the last three games. Let me give you his yards per carry average judge James 2.8 3.1 2.2. That's it. The last three games. No in Philly the Eagles will beat the Titans by more than four points. I rest my case. Both sides have rested their cases. Now we go to the judge for your verdict and all we hear is all right. What you got pony out here all that. But the verdict is in. Give me some no fingerprints. No fingerprints. No fingerprints. The verdict is in. And I watched.  Obviously it did not go that way. But one thing that did go right is they could not stop Aaron Jones or AJ Dylan on the ground. And they're still turning the football over. Right. The blessing was was Aaron Rodgers turned the football over. Tennessee is not going to turn the football over because if they get turned over they're handing it off to Derek Henry. The Eagles cannot stop there. I mean they look bad on defense trying to stop the run against Aaron Jones and AJ Dylan. I see King Henry having a big day and I'm with my man Dave over here. I think the Titans win this one. Yeah. Right. And the verdict is in Lisa. There it is. Pellet court. There are no appeals here. There are no appeals. I'm going to keep this thing over the other huge matchup a rematch of last year's AFC championship game. We have the seven and four Bengals hosting my nine and two chiefs. And this game features two of the best and hottest quarterbacks in the league. You guys know this. Patrick Mahomes rings first in both yards and touchdown passes. Joe Burrow third and second respectively. So pressure on these defenses to show up on Sunday and earn that money. Let's ask our experts about this one. Pony and Cole you're in Judge James courtroom. Chiefs are two and a half point road favorites. Pony you lay in those points. How you playing this one. I can't possibly lose this case because the Bengals are an underdog and Lisa they went to an O against the Chiefs last year. They were down at least two touchdowns in both games in one outright. I think that's happened to Patrick Mahomes three times in his entire career and it happened twice against since he last year. Burrow at six touchdowns in those games combined. And here's the big news. James you got to put stock in this one. This is exhibit A. Jamar Chase is going to come back and play his two games before his injury combined. Two hundred and sixty two yards and four touchdowns. There ain't a cover corner on the Chiefs. That's going to shut him down. Bengals outright a money lined moneymaker in this one. James strike strike all that from the record and allow me to get my Davey Klein fell down because since he they look good lately this we know but five of their last six they've been versus losing teams and now take a look at Kansas City four road wins in five tries and three of the four they've been by 10 points or more. Now Travis Kelsey when we look at this guy he's inching himself seriously into that greatest of all time conversation. One hundred plus targets in eight consecutive seasons. And well he's working on a seventh straight one thousand plus receiving yard campaign. And Isaiah Pacheco he's leading the team in rushing. And as you may remember before the season started I said he's going to be your offensive rookie of the year. And how could I forget old Patrick Mahomes. The last three games eight touchdowns two interceptions and he's been sacked just once keeping it clean. That's what he's all about. He hasn't kept it clean versus Joe Burrow. He's 0 and 2 versus him as Lisa pointed out. But Kansas City they're going to win this one with ease 34 24 pony. Sorry I had to do it to you. James what you got. Yeah James I object to what pony saying too by the way because come on. Don't talk to me about last year. Don't bring up old dirt. Old stuff. I feel you and I feel pony too right because number one there's nobody in the National Football League that could guard your marches on any team. No cornerbacks. I agree with you on that. But I told Lisa earlier a couple weeks ago that I will never go against the Chiefs and Patty Mahomes again. And it is not going to happen right. They are just finding ways to win and people don't understand how hard that is right. Whether you need to score with 30 seconds left. Whether you have five minutes to score. They are finding ways to win. It is contagious. They play a solid defense. Patty Mahomes is cleaning the pocket like Cole said Travis Kelsey can't be stopped by Derwin James. He can't be stopped by my man from the Rams Jalen Ramsey. He can't be stopped by nobody. Anybody they put on a man to man zone coverage. You cannot be stopped there in a zone. The Chiefs are in a zone. They just find ways to win. There is no way. Jojo Burrow is winning this game against Patty Mahomes for a third straight time like that James. I need to trial my jury. No. Judge James has spoken. Cole wins the case. But back in the Chiefs giving those points at line right now two and a half. All right. Let's get to another match up with two current playoff teams. We've got seven and four Jets taken on the nine and two Vikings this game in Minnesota which shout out Jets quarterback Mike White. Right. He went out last week and just his fourth career start and ignited this offense went 22 for 28 315 yards three touchdowns against the Bears. The fans love them. The players love them. The coaches love them. Now we get to see what he does against the league's worst passing defense. Hello week 13. But hey the Vikings offense is cruising. Justin Jefferson has been hot all season long. He's had at least 100 yards receiving in three of the last four games including 139 and a touchdown last week. All right. Colin Dave you guys are up here with this game. Cole the Jets are getting three on the road. So you pick a side. You state your case. All right. Lisa. Well believe it or not Minnesota. They're a four way dead heat for the best home record in all of the league. They're currently sporting a five and one mark but only one double digit victory in the bunch. And sorry James plug your ears. That was a week one versus Green Bay. Meanwhile the Jets Lisa you pointed it out a huge momentum swing right now with that change at the play caller position. Nick Frino substitute teacher Mike White a.k.a. White Mike watching Wayne's brothers you know exactly what I'm talking about. Well he was just one of two Jets quarterback since 2018 with three or more touchdowns at 300 plus passing yards and zero interceptions. You don't see that very often at a play caller in game green and Robert Salas paper trail of receipts. Well it's not so pet based Sylvia crazy after all because I was crazy last week picking against them. Not going to do that one again Jets. They're going to get the win here 24 17. Come on. I mean you're going to get all warm and fuzzy about beating a Simeon led Bears team. Come on. This is a whole different situation coming into Minnesota and defensively the leading sack guy on the Bears has three. I mean the Vikings are absolutely absolutely going to obliterate Mike White in this game. So Darius Smith has nine and a half sacks. Daniel Hunter has seven. These two guys are going to get to him. His only road game last year he was seven for 11 for 95 yards. So whatever he did against the Bears at home throw that out the window the Jets can't convert on third down 34 percent. They're even worse on the road 30 percent. So if you think Mike White is going to have the same game James that he had last week I think you're wrong. So make a good judgment here and realize that Minnesota is going to obliterate this guy. He's going to get sacked five times and throw two picks. You know the drill. I know the drill and the verdict is in right. The verdict is in and I am going with Mike White and the Jets right. You know have you seen the Washington commanders right. We're not saying Taylor Heinecke is just a superstar quarterback but the energy and the Mojo that he gives this football team and they think they're going to win every game when they take the field with him. That's the same Mojo the Jets got with Mike White. Did you see all the smiles on those receivers faces Elijah Moore. Finally he has a big time game. Mike White came in there slinging the ball all over the yard. And then if you look at the last two games of the Minnesota Vikings right. They get beat down by the Cowboys if it's not for a roughing the punter and getting the ball back they probably lose to the Patriots in that game too. They weren't looking good on the offensive side of the ball. Kirk Cousins just had a good drive. His coach was trying to pump him up saying that he finally showed up in the prime time game. That's a concern. I like the Jets playing really good defense. Mike White not turning the ball up and this Jets team playing with confidence and swag. I'm with you Cole. I got the Jets. It's true after the game they couldn't even do a post game interview with Mike White because the players kept carrying him away from the camera. I mean there is so much energy with this team and they're sitting there really nice in a nice position. All right you guys that is the case and it goes to Cole his pick taking the Jets getting those points. Court is adjourned for the day. There's plenty more coming up on the show. But first a quick reminder about Fandals special no sweat first bet promotion.  QR code is right there. Fandal giving new customers up to one thousand dollars back if you don't win your first bet.

And there is plenty more silicone here on more ways to win including Dave's big payday parlay Dave you Mr. Eight Lager by one game. Is this the week. I'm totally feeling it plus we're stacking your DFS lineup with the best value plays of the week. More ways to win just getting started. We're coming right back rolling on here on more ways to win in every match up there's an underdog and a favorite. But how do you know which one to bet while the answer is both. You just need to tap into really smart experts who will well you know are here to give you the best value on the board. That's what we're always looking for. So let's fire up our traveling circus as we roll out this week's dog and pony show. Hey guys pony playing of course the part of Pony and our special guest Chad Milman will be bringing the dogs always great having Chad with us. Chief content officer of the action network. All right guys let's do this pony you're up first. Give us your first of two favorite favorites here for week 13. Washington the commanders going to New York here. I'm a big fan of the spot they're in in this situation with Chase Young ready to come back off the IR with Chase Young added to that defense. They've already hit the quarterback more than any other team in the NFL this year. They will get pressure on Daniel Jones. And the sad reality is Saquon Barkley cannot win the game single handedly offensively. In fact if you look at the Giants last four games outside of their win over the Texans he's been under 60 rushing yards in those three other games. So he's been held in check by defenses. I just think Cinderella's ride in New York is over. Great first half of the season. They've made progress. But Washington is going to beat them in this game. Cover the spread and put themselves in position to make the playoffs. All right Chad give me an underdog that you like this week. All right so I'm going to go with the Tennessee Titans who are now plus four and a half point underdogs against the Eagles. The wise guys professional betters are with me on this play. This game opened on Sunday night at six and a half and throughout the week it's been getting bet down to five and a half now as of this morning at four and a half. A couple of reasons why the wise guys like the Titans in this game. Number one their rush defense number one in DVOA which is just a very fancy way of taking all the stats putting them into one bucket of a fancy analytically focused stat in DVOA and look the Eagles while Jalen Hertz is playing great this year. They are a rush dominant offense. In the last three games Jalen Hertz has struggled without Dallas Goddard playing since he got injured in that commander's game and on the flip side the Eagles have been struggling mightily against the rush without Jordan Davis playing in the middle of that defensive line and what do the Titans do. They run the ball and also by the way a smash Mike Vrabel spot over his career as an underdog of more than three points. He covers it a seventy five percent clip. That is a percentage I will take. Thank you Chad. All right Pony give me your second favorite favorite here for week 13. Packers don't find themselves as a big fact favorite much anymore but they should be in this game against the Bears because of the contrasting styles. The Bears have sold out to for 2023 defensively where they've gotten rid of guys they're thinking ahead the next year under the radar. They're probably now the worst defensive team in the NFL. The stats don't necessarily back that up but given the subtractions that's who they are right now. We've touched on what happened against Mike White the Jets last week and just leave the quarterback out of it for Green Bay. Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon they combined for almost 200 rushing yards last week against the Eagles. I think they're going to have a field day again. I think they cover five and a half. If it was a touchdown I might take the Bears but under seven I love Green Bay as a favorite in this spot. Sorry Chad. All right Chad give me another underdog that you like this week. All right Lisa this is the hardest part about this job.  I got to come out in front of Pony in front of the people watching right now and do stuff that's really really gross when you are betting underdogs and I got to say take the Los Angeles Rams. It's now plus seven and a half against Seattle. It was plus eight earlier in the week. Again an indication the professional bettors are betting on the Rams. There are no stats I can give you that say the Rams will cover because of X Y and Z. This is a situational spot. You've got the public perception of the Seahawks who even though they lost last week in an ugly way against the Raiders they are still so much more highly regarded by the public right now than the Rams who are really really struggling. They won't have Aaron Donald. They won't have Cooper Cup. They won't have Matthew Stafford but there's still a professional football team playing at home in a divisional game as a huge underdog. Historically you take that spot. You take the dog. There's a lot of ugly dogs on the board this week. This is probably the ugliest. That's why I got to go with it. I got nothing but I got a guy here. I got a guy. Pony I just want to come on here and I want to say hey we own the Bears. Aaron Raiders own the Bears. You ain't got to tell Chad to cover his ears and Chad.  Have you not watched the Rams? Have you not? I had to sneak in here. Have you not watched the Rams? Oh my goodness. I'm telling you right now look look what happened last week against the Chiefs. Right like the Chiefs were massive favorites in that game. At one point it got up to 16 and a half and the Rams still covered that game. They played really well in the red zone. We saw what the Seahawks did last week. Their defense is not very good. You got to do bad things when you're betting sometimes. This is a bad thing. This is very bad. Seattle also being a tough place to play by the way. Seattle is tough. All right you get out of here and do my job. Pony quick recap of your two favorites here. You like the commanders giving the points at the Giants and you like Green Bay giving points in Chicago. That line is steep for me. Five and a half is a lot. All right Chad here's a look at your dogs taking the Titans getting points in Philly and the Rams getting those points against Seattle and against all level-headed football minds in this studio. Okay awesome stuff you guys that you can bet those dogs in favorites right now on the Fandall Sportsbook app and of course you can get more of Chad's insight by listening to the favorites podcast wherever you get your podcast podcast and also make sure to download the Action at Network app for expert picks live scores and stats. Thank you Chad. That was fun. All right guys let's move on here on more ways to win and thanks for hanging with us in week 13. Now it is time to turn a little into a lot a little into a lot. It's America's new favorite segment. Here we go Dave's big payday parlay. You missed your massive hit last week just one leg one game one game you twenty bucks with almost what thirty two hundred thirty two hundred. I needed we do this midweek you know I needed Justin Fields to play because I picked the bears ended up not playing and they they couldn't win without me and Mike White yeah but we'll do it again this week. Here we go what you got and it's actually going to pay a little bit less because I don't have too many crazy underdogs. I think we had four underdogs last week I might have three this week but we're going to start with the Minnesota Vikings shutting down Mike White going with the Vikings should have beat the Jets this week even though I didn't do it last week okay as far as happy birthday Russell Wilson by the way now go out there and lose again Baltimore over Russell Wilson and the Broncos yeah so that's only we only basically doubled it up after two games my best bet of the week is the Titans you already agree with me on that Judge James said the Titans are going to beat the Eagles that boost up to 119 and how about the Cleveland Browns Houston might not score a point their offense is so bad so after four teams it's only 155 bucks but let's go we're going to take a couple baby dogs now starting with the Giants at home against the commanders I think that's a very huge game for both teams playoff wide I think G-man can get the job done and I know you aren't going to agree with this one but I think Joe Burrow will out dual patch my homes again my home Lisa nothing to say my home it's like he's not human until he plays the bangles and then all sudden he's human so I'm going against Lisa and you and Cole I'm going with with pony we both like the bangles now we're up to 711 dollars the free square in the bingo card this week is the Cowboys over the Colts I mean I minus 550 I don't see the Colts getting any offense against the Cowboys and then we're gonna close it out Monday night football you know since the Bucks beat the Saints in week two they've lost six out of nine this is a big game for the Saints I think when they pull off the wind put them right back in the hunt thanks for the division $20 Lisa get your money two thousand one hundred 34 bucks if we can get all those teams to win remember no spreads it's just all money that's apps and drinks on a Friday night take me out Dave let's go all right guys you look at those odd skyrocket I know he's going against my chiefs but it is something you got to do sometimes in week 13 and I I get Jim I respect hey tail Dave or create your own parlay you can win big right now on the Fandle sportsbook app you can also get in on the fun with daily fantasy one stop shop right there on your phone Fandle has a bunch of DFS contest live right now where you can win thousands of dollars on Fandle dot com and of course on the app how do you give yourself an edge you got to find the best value at each position so we're bringing in a ringer each week Jim Sonnis is the senior writer and analyst for a number fire he's done the research for you Jim who are your best value plays for week 13 thanks Lisa a couple potential shootouts in this week 13 main slate and one of them brings us one of our top values of this week that guy is DJ shark coming in at $5,300 he hasn't had the production so far this year but a lot of downfield work shark has played four fully healthy games and he's had multiple deep targets and all four of those games so no production yet but I think that a ceiling game is within his range of outcome so shark to me very much in play this week I also like that fryer with coming in at $5,900 a 25 percent target share for fryer move in three games without chase play pool fryer with hasn't scored yet since week number two but I think that could come here pretty soon so fryer with a good way to get yardage upside at tight end we'll finish things off here at Traylon Burks coming in at $6,100 Burke the touchdown last week was pretty flukey but he had good usage once again he had 70 yards on six targets this Philadelphia Eagles defense think about CJ Gardner Johnson could open up more work for the Titans passing game so Burke's coming off a pretty flukey touchdown but still a good play at $6,100 so good way to get exposure to a couple fun games this week and still save salary on Fandall for week 13 thank you Jim it's set your lineups at Fandall.com follow Jim on Twitter at Jim Saunas and check out his covering the spread podcast wherever you will get your podcast all right guys coming up next to the 49ers and Dolphins have combined to win nine straight some good football being played there those boys who has the advantage when these two face off this week more game previews including a couple of huge matchups featuring some big time rivalries plus our experts hand out their best bets of the week in the form of a spread money line in total see which teams they have to cash this week we're coming right back welcome back everybody now we're all about competition on this show not play nice around here next up we're firing up a debate where our experts go head to head with our ex-player this is where we break down some of the biggest matchups ahead of us here in week 13 each of our season debating experts will debate the game with James nine-year NFL vet Super Bowl champion we've got two wildly different perspectives going at it so let's have some fun guys all right got to get you in here and we're kicking off our expert versus ex-player battle two of the hottest teams in the league right now you heard me say coming into break eight and three dolphins at the seven and four Niners these two teams have combined to win nine straight Miami has the number three total offense in Francisco the number one total defense this is gonna be a good game and Dave the Niners are giving three and a half here this is a good game I'm surprised we got this deep into the show before we even started talking about this one because these are two hot teams to not Super Bowl favorites but certainly Super Bowl contenders but to me it's the pieces that are going to be on the field so Eliza Mitchell he's heard again he's probably going to go back on IR even Kristen McCaffrey is no sense to play this week so the backfield for the 49ers is a little bit banged up and then you look at their defensive front you know Eric Armstead has been out most of the year and his backup a minute who actually I think tweaked a knee in practice this week and he might not go so I think just because there are enough injuries for the 49ers dolphins come in and sneak out a win and if not win get the cover here losing by a field go so I'm gonna take Miami and the points James well I'm a big believer in Kyle Shanahan and he's going up against a little brother yeah right and little brother you can't take my offense and put up more points than me and come in here and beat me with what I have taught you and what I have shown you little brother so I like the 49ers in this one big time defense right but I am a little worried because last time the Niners played a really good offense was the Kansas City Chiefs right and Patty Mahomes had his way all game long so I'm looking to see how does Niners defense response going up against another big time offense kind of built like the Kansas City Chiefs to see if they could stop him but I like Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers in this one right it should be a great game it was gonna be a great game all right pony gotta get you in here you're our expert for the next game here the eight and three cowboys hosting the four seven and one Colts indies running back Jonathan Taylor's had at least 20 carries the last three games it's the first time that's happened in three straight games all year long hey new coach new game plan right well while Dallas has the number one pass defense they do rank 24th against the run pony Dallas is giving 10 and a half look at that line on Sunday night football floors all yours cowboys but Jeff Saturday game management gaff suicide and there were plenty of them at the end of the last game and he had to come out to apologize the thing we've seen about his team is that they play 60 minutes they're in the games even against Philly it was only a one point loss James his combined losses he's one and two but they're by eight points so I think Lisa she's so good at this a point guard three-point shooter she can do it all she called it he's gonna run the ball condense and shrink the game that's why that line is so big cowboys win but I don't think they win by more than 10 points I disagree coach Mike and the cowboys have it cooking on the offensive side of the football and I don't see the Indianapolis Colts being able to stop the Dallas cowboys offensively they barely stopped Kenny Pickett Kenny Pickett had his way with them all game long I do not see them stopping cd lamb Zeke Pollard Dak Prescott Gallup I see points being put up and they cannot score points in a bunch they have to play a certain type way and if the Dallas Cowboys jump out on them I think you see turnovers from Maddie ice I think you see mistakes by Jeff Saturday like we've been seeing these first three games of his coaching career and I think this is a blowout and the Dallas Cowboys make another statement that a we are a team that has a chance to win the whole dang thing there it is okay moving on Cole you're tapping in here the commanders are at the Giants in a huge NFC East battle here Taylor Heineke gave him some love earlier in the show five and one as a starter this year that's right this guy and on the other side we've got the Giants they've lost three of four after that really hot start Cole you're up first here Washington is a two and a half point road favorite I'm gonna let James put all those numbers down because in this what have you done for me lately league everyone is out there forgetting that big blue they kicked off the campaign six and one but at the last four newly noted they have been tough but if you take a look at last week versus Dallas had it not been for Dalton Schultz a third quarter explosion it could have been a much different outcome now when it comes to the commanders I know right now they're wired in that wave of momentum they won six of the last seven but uh in those six wins only one of them coming versus a winning team and that was the Eagles and that was their lone misstep of the season so blip on the radar let's put it in that category the G-man they've shown the ability to go out there and beat better talent at least better than Washington has so I think the Giants they get an extra crochet James 21-20 man so see Cole I can see that right you are still living in the past off of that six and one start because this Giants team the last couple weeks right they've been the Giants team we thought they were going to be right keep some games close right but not really have that elite talent to really finish these ball games and win games and the ball hasn't been bouncing their way early in the season in that six and one start the football was bouncing their way they won a lot of closed games right really strictly by what the other team did not do this Giants team is going like this Cole they're going like this fast I mean Saquon Barkley's not running the ball like he was running early in the season and Taylor Heineke we talked Mike White you like the Jetson Mike White you gotta take Taylor Heineke and the Washington commanders in this one right here they're playing with too much confidence with the young fellow at the quarterback spot I got the commanders in this one all right those commanders give any two and a half points right now you can place those bets on the Fandal Sports Book app great stuff by you guys and as I mentioned as these guys just talked about the Giants are at home this week which means the Meadowlands will be absolutely lit so if you're headed to MetLife Stadium we're just looking for a really fun spot to take

10 a.m. and James we are going to get you there one of these weeks Dave I know you enjoyed that last weekend all right let's get back to our best bets of the week now our experts are giving them out in the form of a spread moneyline and total bet we do it every single week is part of our our competition where each of the guys get 100 virtual dollars for those three bets and take a look at the results from last week Dave went three for three winning more than 100 dollars hitting on the Raiders right Raiders getting the points Browns on the moneyline the Raiders the over there for the Raiders Seahawks game Dave three for three I love it uh what you got for us this week Raiders almost got the total by themselves pony you need a broom to sweep under the table back there I'll loan you one I'm going to sweep again this week and we're going to start with the Tennessee Titans plus the four and a half points at the Eagles again this has been a great covering team all year long eight and three best in the league they keep games close when they lose they don't get blown out with the exception of that one week where the laden egg against Buffalo that's not happening here they'll be able to stop the run game of the Eagles so 55 dollars to make 50 there my moneyline moneymaker you do agree with this one pony the bangles to beat the chiefs 20 dollars on them at plus 112 and then my total I think we're going to see some fireworks in in Vegas with the chargers or in so far with the chargers and the Raiders wherever it is it doesn't matter pony they're going to put up about 60 in this game the total is 50 and a half so my remaining 25 dollars is going on that one at Elegion birthday present for Russell Wilson Dave is actually a date with the Ravens because Baltimore what they've done against the Panthers barely winning that game pulling away late losing in Jacksonville look at the size of that line don't expect the Broncos to score many points with Russ but I do with their top three defense believe they'll keep it within nine points I'm going to start with Denver I know the Broncos struggling to cover that spread next up I am on the Raiders bandwagon Josh Jacobs leads the NFL in rushing yards and the chargers are 28th against the run the Vegas Raiders are going to win that game plus 108 and I like the under into Sean Watson's return to Houston I expect a rust factor that is a very high total 47 and a half for two bad teams in a Cleveland team that wants to run the ball love the under in that matchup all right some interesting strategies there as we see each week and we will see which one is the best after this weekend we will air the results on next week's show hit up the Fandalsports book now to place your bets before kickoffs all right guys coming up it's moneyline money maker time you know that's my favorite thing James and Cole giving out their underdog upset special see who they think is going to get it done this week who you ride them with all right we're coming right back welcome back two more ways to in here on Fandals TV we're shouting out some of our betting markets with rapid fire predictions giddy up guys you know the drill I give you the line you give me your pick 15 seconds or less pony you're in Pittsburgh where hey Kenny Pickett has moved in as mayor your boy leading these Steelers on the road at the Falcons here Pittsburgh giving one and a half yeah Atlanta is one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL 31st going to be one-dimensional against the Steelers defense that does have TJ Watt back in the fold Cam Hayward up front I think the Steelers go to Atlanta in front of a lot of Steelers fans and win that game Dave this one's for you Denver getting eight and a half at Baltimore I mean the Denver running game it's just a complete shambles they haven't rushed for 150 yards in a game all year Baltimore meanwhile has ran for 150 yards or more nine out of the last 10 games Lamar will control this game on the ground 2710 Ravens all right Cole you're in Chicago the Bears hosting the fighting James Jones is those Packers to Chicago is a five and a half point underdog yeah Green Bay with seven straight versus Chicago and Aaron Rodgers said he welcomes any change at quarterback with an open mind but if uh Jordan Love does get in it's going to be a wrap for a run this is going to be the Undertaker sitting up in his casket Green Bay they're going to make it eight in a row versus Chicago 27 20 all right checked on from quick picks to upset alerts we're back on the money line we're dropping those money line money makers for you right now and we're giving them the bet moji treatment because why not it's so fun Cole and James all right you guys are going to get you'll make your picks we're going to make our reactions with the appropriate emoji and Cole you are why are they already laughing why are they already laughing go ahead give us your upset pick here for week 13 come on okay well when it comes to defending Super Bowl champions the Rams they're holding down the bottom of the barrel keep those laughs to yourselves right now but uh you take a look they dropped seven of the last eight and they failed to beat the team above 500 all season long but uh you look at last of each ball game well that may linger just a little bit especially when you take a look at Seattle because they struggle they couldn't contain the run the Rams they're going to stand up stand tall they're going to get some respect back that guy's not playing at the house 24 23 24 23 make a note of that James Dave Pony no cup no Robinson no Stafford they waived their Henderson go so early in the show man how are they only plus pony how are they only plus 285 shouldn't they be like plus a thousand I don't know I wish Cole was on a Judge James segment there because that was not convincing it would have been disbarred for that Judge James just ripped the back of his suit coat out there Cole you don't even believe that who was talking right now you have no energy you don't even believe that that's gonna get done no Matthew Stafford no Aaron Donald I mean it's just no nobody yeah I mean Sean McBabe checked it in it's just you were at gunpoint with that prediction Cole that sounded very forced all right James you gotta give us something better than that okay I'm gonna give us I'm gonna give us a little hope unlike Cole right and I'm going down to Philly and I'm taking King Henry and Ryan Tanneil and these Tennessee Titans too upset these Philadelphia Eagles and yes I could be a little salty I picked the Eagles on the upset last week my Packers was gonna go in there and win they did it right the Eagles beat them up but one thing the Packers did do is run the football extremely well and what does the Tennessee Titans do run the football extremely well with King Henry King Henry's gonna get started they are going to control this ball keep that offense Jalen Hurts on the sideline and lately that offense has been turning the football over Jalen Hurts and that offense I like Tennessee and this one to go up there and ruin AJ Brown's chance to beat up on his old team. Nice call. I'll take one. That's upside down on purpose. Confused and upside down on purpose. And backwards. Yeah James you gotta be better than that. All right you guys awesome stuff now if you agree with Cole or James or if you've got an upset pick ready for you I hey you do you just roll with what you got hop on the faddle sports we got now and get that plus money before kickoffs on Sunday.

Jim Sonnis is back with the goods here who's on your can't miss list here in week 13 Jim. Thanks Lisa even though this is the stud section of the show we're going to start things off with the guy who does not have a stud salary but could have stud production on Sunday that guy is Aaron Jones coming in at seventy four hundred dollars Jones facing off with a super banged up Chicago Bears defense and has shown a massive ceiling already so far this year Jones has had 150 or more yards and scrimmage three separate times that is the second highest mark in the league behind just Josh Jacobs so as long as Aaron Rogers plays in this game I want to go to Aaron Jones at seventy four hundred dollars in the mid-range give me T Higgins coming into eighty three hundred dollars in that big game between the cheese and the Bengals Higgins will have Jamar Chase alongside him this week most likely but even the games they play together Higgins workload has still been very good he has a 24 target share it is full gains with chase so far this year with 32 of the deep work as well so although chase is back I still want to Higgins and what could be a massive shoot out here we'll finish things off though with that guy Josh Jacobs coming in at ninety five hundred dollars he has averaged a hundred and fifty four point one yards from scrimmage per game since the snap spiked eight games ago he's facing off with the Chargers arguably the worst rush defense in football so far this year so elite production elite matchup elite player I'm kind of having a hard time saying no to that despite his salary increase to ninety five hundred dollars so hopefully some fun ways to get exposure to the fun shootouts on this week 13 main slate no doubt my man set your lineups at fandal.com follow Jim on twitter at Jim Sonnis and another reminder to check out his daily covering the spread podcast wherever you get your podcasts all right coming up here on the show some fun with futures we're going to get right to the Super Bowl fast forward on this season we're looking at the crystal ball that's coming up next welcome back into fandal TV thanks for hanging with us here in week 13 now let's fast forward all the way to Super Bowl Sunday which team is going to be holding up the Lombardi trophy after the clock hits zero in Arizona well we'll tell you let's take a look at the Super Bowl odds and the Chiefs have overtaken the bills as the favorites to win it all guys this is the first time we've seen this all season are you going chalk do you like a sleeper here Dave get in here you're going to start us off I'm going to team that's a sleeper I mean the record indicates that they're a great team but a lot of the consensus that the Minnesota Vikings aren't really that good but they have done what they needed to do to position themselves to get into the playoffs and look they could still get home field here if they finish up strong the Eagles don't necessarily have to win out the rest of the way I like to buy the Eagles and Cowboys they've gotten destroyed by those teams I like to buy when other people are selling I'm sticking with the Vikings plus 1700 all right sometimes you gotta pass that stuff up Dave you can't buy everything man you can't buy everything but I'm okay I'm going with one of these underdogs too right you're gonna look at me crazy but this team has not lost a game outright all season and what I mean by that is nobody has just dominated the Baltimore Ravens every game that they have lost they have beat themselves so when you turn on the tape that is a really good thing to see if we correct these things we are going to be that football team that can win the whole thing and I truly believe when it's time to go and they get into playoffs Lamar action Jackson these Baltimore Ravens is going to have that out there system and they're going to shock the world wish you had an extra receiver to throw to you that's my concern with the Ravens just nobody to pass to bangles are 20 to 1 bang I can promise you if they beat the Chiefs on Sunday those odds will look a whole heck of a lot different Monday morning so you want to buy something Dave you believe the bangles can beat the Chiefs like me if they do this is by low because they will not be 20 to 1 Monday morning when they pull off that stunning win well Dave it is mustache all about the impulse buys to do that anyway that's getting chips beef jerky Kinder eggs or whatever juice boxes anything that's left up there loose I'm going chalk I'm keeping things safe that's after Las Vegas Raiders let me down week after week after week after week yeah Kansas City I

Hey guys, welcome back to yet another GCSE revision lesson and in the run up to your final GCSE exams Of course, it's really really important to ensure that you are prepared for the language paper one exam Now what Stacy and I want to do is to go over the top three mistakes that GCSE students make in the language paper one exams especially in section a and How you can correct these mistakes? Okay, so that you try and avoid these common errors that drive examiners crazy So Stacy what is the first thing that students make the first thing guys that we encourage you not to do in question 2 Which is a language question is to start using the wrong technique So labeling something is simply if it's not or using the wrong and my adverb noun adjective We have to be accurate in this response So you're going to have to be sure that you know how and to label the things that are in the extract And if you don't know don't label it and I'm actually curious to know you'll take on Repetition as a structural technique So there's often a little bit of confusion as to whether repetition counts as language or Structure I want to sit on the fence here because I think it will answer both If I'm in a language credit if I'm on a question 2 and something is repeated a couple of times I will refer to it as the language devices repetition But it's a very very powerful in question 3 is a structural device and in terms of what we think the author and the Writer is trying to do okay, so aside from the question of repetition This is what you should do instead for question number 2 Make sure you mention language techniques when you're picking out quotations from the little text box that you're given Make sure you mentioned stuff like alliteration simile, sibilance, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, hyperbole All of these language devices are really really important Of course also remember the third bullet point which is to do with sentence forms, right? An easy way to address sentence forms is to either refer to a declarative sentence Which is just any sentence that states a fact feeling or mood or you can say this short sentence Okay, that addresses a sentence form bullet point for question number 2. So what's the second mistake that students make? Number 2 for dawn's is question 3. So this is your structural question What you will find guys is that actually students forget the user quotation because I think that's not actually language based But if you are telling me that there's a structural device being employed Or you want me to focus at the beginning of the extract give me the reference that I am focusing on as a reader That you are telling me to focus on as a reader So support what you're seeing structurally with the reference you are referring to It obviously it's kind of a better response in that way and you need evidence as to what you're seeing Oh, here we go. We hear it. I speak for all English teachers here It makes the reader want to read on because it doesn't let me tell you any person That's written a book wants you to read it. So you need a better Responses here about what the reader feels how the reader responds to that not about whether we do or don't want to read Okay, and this is what you should do instead for question number three of language paper one Make sure you mentioned you mentioned the structural technique right if it's beginning middle or end of its flashing back It will flash back flash forward zooming in zooming out if there's a sudden or gradual introduction of a character All of these are structural devices Mention that but you need to also tie it with a quotation Don't just mention it to the beginning or the middle of the end You need to use a quote to support that okay, and this is for question number three So what's the final mistake that students tend to make for this paper question for guys We need to spend a lot of time on it's 20 marks and what's happening is we as a collective on misreading the question We hear the word evaluate and we think oh my god, what do I do and remember? Don't misread it in terms of what the examiner is asking you to do because the exam is asking you to do what they've been asking You to do through the entire paper. So what should they do? Okay? So for question before this is a student statement What you should do is analyze the statement Okay, and a really easy way of analyzing and evaluating is literally using the skills that you have shown for question two and three Well, you mentioned mentioning for example of the student statement says, you know This shows how hot up is a really horrible corp father for example You then say okay actually this adjective or this simile illustrates how he is indeed a cruel horrible father or this You know this shift to Alice's character, right, which is structure this illustrates that maybe heart up might not be as cruel Right, obviously you can also balance the argument or simply just agree with the student statement Okay, but just make sure as part of your analysis when you're evaluating to what extent you agree with the student statement You're referring to language and structure, which is skills that you already know from questions two and three So guys, thank you so much for tuning in to watch this revision video Don't forget that on Stacy's channel We're gonna be doing the top three mistakes that students make when it comes to the language with a two exam and how you can avoid it So make sure you head over to her channel to watch that video. Thank you
