What's up everybody on sports and like conduct gab brie another week more sports more basketball finally some more NFL and I'm a little bit of horse racing to cap off. Yeah, a little bit of horse racing. Let's uh, let's just start with how is your weekend? How's the derby? You know, it was great. It was a great time. It was a great experience. It was a little hot Mm-hmm. I'm pretty cool here in Cleveland, Ohio It's nice to get some warm weather. No, it was an overall pretty good time Definitely something out of my comfort zone out of my sports space with balls. This one didn't Mm-hmm. Just had a couple horses out there, but no, it was cool. It was fun. Saw a lot of cool people Had a minjool up. I will say wasn't good was it not really a fan? Yeah It's like missing a flavor. Does that make sense? Have you had one? I've had one before at like derby parties like in college When that was like the big thing to do a strange time It's like I saw a K post this and this is a thousand percent accurate. It's like a mojito, but with like bourbon It's a mojito that doesn't taste good. It's and I love mojitos. Mojitos are one of my favorite drinks You can't put like the brown liquor in there it messes everything. I need some like lemon or some kind of fruity flavor to balance it out Yeah, we fit. Thanks guys. Yeah. Okay.  That's what it told me to do It worked out, but yeah, I Mean I didn't expect you to drop like right So what you got was definitely Within reason, but it works and I saw myself which I was proud of the whole the the blazer skirt fit was perfect it wasn't like Like Old cuz I look at some of these Kentucky Derby outfits and I'm like, okay, you're 20 whatever years old Yes, yeah, right exactly That looks great. That looks great on a lot of people. That's just not for me. Yeah, not my style I don't know. I feel like living where I do so Cleveland is the Midwest, but it's not really like Like you think of like Chicago and you think of like all the other places like people don't really dress like that there, you know we're just like chill jeans cute shirt cute going out fits not Lily Plants are not my nothing wrong with that. Just not for me. Yeah, everybody's got their own You know their own taste of clothing and stuff like that. It's not that's what I'm with so but it worked It worked. So Shout out to you fit looked great. The whole event looked fun Jack Harlow was oh my god personal space. So that's exciting. Yeah, so he basically elbowed me in the face, but that's fine. It's like He's that rocky hidden that girl at the neck. Yeah, I like that not as extreme He didn't break my glasses like that girls, but that was cool cool to see him Yeah, there's a lot of people Patrick my homes. I've like I've seen Patrick my homes before that's not like a crazy one You know, but then it was weird. They shut down the whole like red carpet for him. Really? Oh, he was doing that though like the writers up thing. So I feel like he got like super special special treatment Shout to them though because as soon as the derby was over I was looking at their Instagram stories. They got on a plane. We're right to Miami. They're at F1 the next day Hey, when you got it when you got that money. I'm doing it too. So you got it, you know, I don't know where to be found Don't worry guys.  Because like each year they they someone who did we who did we say it was last year burrow? Yeah, Joe Burrow. Yeah and Jack Harlow Jack Harlow, I mean with the white man can't jump remake coming out this year Like I personally don't think they needed to remake it, but like I understand right I mean if he gets asked to do it, he's gonna do it. Yeah, and It's I don't know. He's got it like that. What Davidson always in the running. Yeah, Pete Davidson is always in the running Pete Davidson, man No, man, Tyler here. He could be having a moment right now, but he broke his freaking hand. So He looked like a middle school kid is sitting like on the bench at recess yesterday during the game You know, you know who it could be Not yet. I need some more like cool things from them, but they get a finals Austin Reeves He doesn't have it though, he doesn't have it he doesn't have the kids. What are the kids saying the Riz is that what? Yeah, no Riz doesn't have it.  I mean listen When a championship with who knows who knows what happened? It's possible It's certainly possible, but that I guess brings us into our MBA talk of the week Where should we start? Do you want to just start with the Lakers because I have let's let's start with Lakers I have some thoughts about the series and the Warriors in particular that kind of Back up my argument against the Celtics. It's like a whole mishmash of stuff.  Yeah, they are. Yes, they are I'm sorry. I'm like a little bit of a fan. I'm a fan boy. I mean, I mean, I'm genuinely enjoying watching it because again Grizzlies not my favorite Warriors for obvious reasons don't really like them. It's okay. So I Just I This is this is an important point Jordan pool. I wouldn't say is a fraud. I wouldn't say he's a fraud He had really good times. He's had really bad times But I also do love that they overpaid him.  So mad But my point about the Warriors In this series that I want to make is I saw this stat floating around today about clutch shots in the playoffs and And This is the perfect timing for this to come on my timeline in my space because everybody is talking about Jason Tatum Not taking that last shot at the end of overtime in game four Okay, I mean, there's a lot of a lot of different ways that I can look at that situation and Place blame and whatever but like ultimately Tatum's a superstar He should be taking that last shot even though I do think the best shot was kicking it out to smart They just didn't do it in time. They took too long No, I want what I want to say about that is how come people are shitting on Tatum But Curry's out here over 12 on curry shots in the play He has the rings. He has the rings. I don't care if he's supposed to be the best shooter the best this Maybe he doesn't need the clutch shots. They're already up. I don't know. I don't want to hear I don't want to hear about it then. I don't want to hear that. He's so great He's the best shooter we've ever seen and these over 12 in situations like that like I mean, I'm not arguing that he's not the best shooter in the NBA and things like that, but like That seems like something Okay, but what is the stats like 30 seconds? Yeah, how many how many shots have they needed it under 30 seconds to win a game like I want to know apparently like I mean, how many like I Guess but They I just my I do love love LeBron number one Yeah, well, I mean at the top my I just my thing with that is just like I just don't If we're gonna talk about this guy the way we talk about this guy we kind of need to you know rag on him a little bit for the offer 12 because that's ridiculous in The playoffs when you do have all of these rings and granted like yeah, maybe you haven't needed that out of him a lot but Ofer is just wild It affects his all-time legacy in any way Probably I don't think so either, but it's fun to talk about right now.  Why don't you shoot it instead of hey, you made the right decision to win the game?  No, absolutely 20 points They're largely 18. I think they had no business almost taking that game to overtime. It should have been done So I don't shout out listen shout out to Al Horford because he is a major Major reason why that game ended up in overtime just absolutely shutting down the MVP in the fourth quarter Absolute torture chamber put clamps on his ass like every single shot He looked like a spring chicken out there guarding and bead and then Tatum Yeah, Tatum maybe didn't have the best first half scoring wise, but he still was facilitating He saw a couple steals like he didn't have a pretty decent first half granted. He only had two points um, but that second half he he really you know took over stepped up and everything so The Celtics can do it. It's just a matter of Are they going to be able to stay out of their own way? Because They lulligagged up the court on that final possession shouldn't have happened Maybe Missoula should have taken the time out. I get that advance the ball You get the better play design I mean I I see that side of it But also I agree with what he said about He didn't want to give the chance for the sixers to get their better defenders on the court. I see both sides But i'm not going to sit here and just like place all the blame on Missoula like these guys are professional basketball players They still need to have or they should have the sense of urgency to know. Hey final possession. We're only down by one Speed this up. Let's make a shot here.   I'm sorry And I love dogs dogs right and if that corgi wasn't bopping basketballs saying the lakers were gonna lose up three one I would love him That corgi's been wrong plenty of times before though. So the Warriors are literally putting the fate of their fandom in a corgi shooting balls into baskets to win a series And I'm gonna tell you right now if LeBron James loses when he's up three one. I'm not gonna be able to make it I saw you guys won't hear from me for weeks. Like I'm gonna I'm gonna have to believe the country shutting off all my social medias.  I can't I can't do it. I I've already been through that Don't want to ever go through that again and especially lebron Oh my god, yeah, I saw a tweet today from like one of the The little nba twitter boys. It said if lebron blows a three one lead to the warriors. I'm literally gonna kill myself So things are not the corgi's coming with me. The corgi's coming. I'm not even kidding. I can't deal with the corgi Here we go. It's everywhere. The corgi picked the leaf. So take it with a grain of salt like the corgi also picked tcu to beat Georgia how'd that go really bad? How'd that work out? I have a feeling like they picked the Bruins to beat the panthers too, so You know, I do I do like watching the corgi videos though. Oh, they're cute. He's that one got to go I hate when it's it's My teams though like he did one of the bill's pat's playoff game And it was just he did like out of three.  It's probably gonna be a lot. I'm gonna go the other way and if the lakers win i'm tweeting f that corgi With my winnings listen He's got to be able to take it if he's gonna sit out here and make You have to be able to take the heat exactly Yeah, so You get exactly so I don't know. I think I think the lakers can finish this off though. I hope so. I'm not If not in five and six for sure My see, let me show you guys. This is what I want this to happen. Are you ready? This is what I need LeBron With this I got this in the mail this week. Can't wait to hang it up. But this is what we're gonna see lebron with his Larry o bryan It's just it's It's coming closer and closer like the chances that we get asltics lakers finals Not only would it just be good for basketball itself like it would be good for us for you and me We need it. We need it. We need something for the content On I don't think I could handle it on here. It it would be an absolute nightmare But we need it Yeah, we do. We do need it. We'll just put that out in the universe. Just Basketball gods like let's just let's just make it happen for the pod just put the script in someone Someone put the script in it like Oh, man, I have a I have some more thoughts about the asltics, but I'm a little nervous We have what we're 15 minutes. So we're probably like 25 minutes away from yeah The game itself probably won't start until like 445 um But I do want to talk about the flopping aspect of this series and the offensive foul aspect of this series and I would just like to Try my best to be as Objective as possible in this situation While also being correct because I know I'm right So oh my god I like I just know I am um I as someone who loves the Boston Celtics who loves this team heart and soul Whose favorite player is marcus mark? I know right there with you. I know he flops Like crazy. I know that I know he gets away with it a lot, but I also know it benefits him sometimes and that's just the way the NBA is right now So both things can be true I also know that joel and bead being seven feet tall 280 pounds should not fall the way that he falls Hey, he's going through a lot right now. He's having back issues Like I know I know the knee is probably a little weak right now It's gonna give a little bit like been there. I get that buddy a thousand percent You don't fall that easily when you are that large of a human being so If we're gonna sit here and This is more so directed at sixers fans just because I've seen this throughout this series and I just want Them to understand if you're gonna be weird. Oh, yeah See because I don't I don't really feel like fans. So I don't really see that much I saw some stuff when they were like debating about yo kitchen and bead But like I was like it was just a dumb topic to have right now, but That's about it. That's all I saw. He's I mean there there was some lady who Said that somebody needs to punch mark is smart in the throat.  That's just how the game is now like Yeah, I But like that's how The game has evolved.  I want to talk about jason tatum's push off Yes, it should have been called an offensive foul But it wasn't and the reason why it wasn't is because you let these superstars get away with it and in The heat of the moment when the game is coming down to the wire in situations like that You're not going to get calls like that because if they let it go all game long and then all of a sudden they call it now That's the shit storm That the refs are already under it's even more drama than it started with exactly They're already under a lot of fire this season as it is because they're so sensitive And like did you see I feel like filly fans are at their breaking point almost No, I think that they are I mean, I don't think it's good or bad. I just think that they are I mean you lost in the Super Bowl You lost in the series. Um Hey, you're who's to say what happens next? I don't blame them So they're going through it, but at least they get there.  So on the way out um I just I just need them to understand like james harden does that every single possession And it doesn't get called. So like yeah, I completely agree that it it should have been called because he totally pushed off Maxi probably could have sold it a little bit better, but he did like it it happened clear his day Hardin does it all the time and it doesn't get called.   He wants to be an eagle so bad He wants to play for the eagles so bad. Did you see him on draft night? Did you see that video of him on draft night? There was a video of him I think it was like bleacher report They were doing a live segment and after they got jailing carter and they kept getting the rest of their picks He was freaking out. He was like, no, this is so awful. I can't believe they're getting all these players Like how are they doing this? How are they getting away with this? And he's always tweeting stuff about them He wants to be an eagle so bad. He's jealous of them. I'd be jealous too Well, what is that? What the cowboys Sure, you're america's team, but like what's that doing for you? Please? What's that doing? Like what's that doing for you though? Like you're not winning. You're not winning games. You Wow, you beat Congrats, sorry that was that was a bit. No, it's okay. You're right. It's fine The man If I was a cowboy span, I would look at that and be like Oh, okay If I was Like watching Tom Brady do stuff for like the Tampa Bay Lightning when he was with the bucks like made me Actually sick to my stomach and he wasn't even on the path anymore. Yeah, but I couldn't imagine his team in city Well, no, that's what I'm saying. So I couldn't imagine watching a guy who's on my team who I love Currently on my team Supporting my rival city's basketball team. Well, I mean he has some picks with luka courtside. Sure Yeah, but like they just moved on to the next because they're not there either I don't I don't know but uh, they showed divante smith too and I would just like to remind everybody that he is a Celtics fan um Which is a fun little a little thing about this series We have there's a player on the browns that is a heat fan Anthony Schwartz, you know, Anthony Schwartz.  It was like a picture of kevin love and He shouldn't have done that one. Well, that probably went over well Right out of all people to say that he's probably last like very bottom Well, like I Sorry, but I can't defend that. I can't and I said didn't really think about this one. Did you know He probably did out of spite. I don't blame him because people are kind of really mean to him I mean, but just don't say it you don't need to say it It's like just to make things easier for yourself. Yeah, it's already bad Already bad. So like let's not Mm-hmm Oh poor poor guy. Anyhow What else what else do we have going on in the association? We have owners getting shoved. Let's talk about that We have owners getting shoved. I think they're both dummies in that situation Absolutely Owner dummy.  Should he have touched him? No Should he even touch the wall? What no, but you don't need to Really hard in his chest. I respect the flop 1000% that's a flop that I respect. You guys set a good example for your players. You know, yeah, I'm gonna do it every time If I got shoved by an NBA player during game, I'm falling to the ground. My leg might be broken I'm causing a scene My question is maybe this is just like me being annoying But I Uh, if I was an owner, I wouldn't want to sit court side See, this is a question I was going to bring up in our pick talk segment If you were an owner, would you rather sit court side or would you rather sit in the owner suite? And I think I'm going Owner suite Yeah, give me a suite 10 times out of 10. You got your own personal bathroom You got like coloring up there. It's nice. You got comfy seats. You got the perfect view of everything You don't run the risk of getting shoved by a large European man. No, you don't run that one. So Unless like you have A wrestler in your suite and you guys like come to blows But like what are really the odds of that happening and like another issue with it? I don't know I feel like this. I don't think other people do you're spending the money for the team cool.  You're running a business Right.  Yeah 100% but like I don't know just like let fans Do the fanning and you can also cheer but just like there's just a level of like professionalism. I feel like you need to Like the Celtics owner sits court side, but it's I've never seen him like get involved In and I mean like maybe he's like sit up and yelled or something But like that is as far as I think I've ever seen him Go certainly not getting in a scrum Yeah, like inserting himself in a scrum right in front of him. It couldn't have been anybody else, you know Couldn't have been okay. Honestly and truly though when I saw people saying that it was the son's owner I thought everybody was just messing around because I guess I've never seen what the new owner looks like So I was like, oh like ha very funny you guys and then I Realized like oh my god, he actually was that's like one time. This is different because it was Dan Gilbert's son he was court side and um Steph Curry hit him in the face with a mouth guard because he tossed it Whoops, but he he was just chilling there. Steph Curry is one that did it. So yeah And it was I don't think it was like intentional.  I'd say But just it just happened to be him. So yeah Oh man The national basketball association. What a time um Devin Booker. I'm confused about the treatment that he's getting Okay Because I think Devin Booker is a really good basketball player. I think everybody should feel that way Why are we acting like this is a big surprise that he's got a basketball?  Yeah, so like that It's not just him specific like anybody across sports who comes off like that. Like I just not really He's playing with chris paul. He's picking up on some He's learning from the best.  Like I hope booker wins this fight. Like I Not like when he said the other night this I think is like the perfect culmination of everything I'm trying to say when he said the other night like yokich can go for 53 as many times as he wants like as long as we win Hey, I like that I just the way he said it was just made my skin crawl.  Yeah, I just him Him and anthony davis when they have a good game everyone's like, oh my god I can't believe it anthony davis should be scoring points like that every single night So should devin booker. So why are we rewarding them for the bare minimum? I I don't know I have nothing to say to that because you were 100 right Like why are we sitting here instead of acting shocked that james harden went off for 40 whatever points again Like he this is what he should be doing It's so how we treat jimmy butler is different everyone's like, oh it's jimmy butler like he does this stuff Those guys should be doing it too. They're supposed to be superstars Yes, exactly. I don't I'm right there with you. I don't get it The ad thing like I guess I can see it because of like his injury non-stop injury issues Okay, the man's supposed to be the superstar. He's supposed to be taken over the team. Lebron's 38 You can't have a 38 year old Being the best one out there every single night Man needs an ice bath every five minutes to make it man. Did you see what he wore? In his postgame presser last night. He literally looked like he was in pajamas Lebron Lebron No, I didn't see they looked like actual silk pajamas. I'm probably really comfy. I can't blame him It was like 10 10 30 here Man's was probably ready to go to bed Yeah, he was He's he's having a time though. That's all I gotta say And again, I've said this before where are all these Lebron fans coming from It's certainly not here Tell you that much while I do I am having a Fun time watching the Lakers do what they do. I still just I just I don't like them. I really don't I mean, I don't like the Lakers, but I like Lebron So I put that part to the side and root for him I can like I can respect Lebron, of course Just as much as I expect people who don't like Tom Brady to at least respect him like it's the same thing And I'm trying I'm trying really hard to corny. He's he's a corny guy put the hater aside and just watch It's hard It's a lot harder than I thought it would be because I never actively like sought out to watch A game that Lebron is playing and that doesn't involve the Celtics or doesn't it's not a game that I am excited for or care about So doing this I'm like Okay, Lebron. Let's see what you can do And now you're getting like very very end of it. Yeah It's a weird feeling weird feeling for me, but It's I mean it's been fun Kind of you know who hasn't been fun also for I keep I keep bringing back this series, but clay Thompson, man It's annoying speaking of somebody who just gives off absolute douche vibes that I don't like He just it's just I Don't know what it is about him either And I said this a couple weeks ago because I saw the tweet and I thought it was perfect like has he always been Like an ass like that because I yeah, he has Feel like he's like been like a little quiet mouse For as long as I've been paying attention, but apparently I haven't been paying attention well enough And like he's again this had a great career, but uh, he's just I don't know a little dramatic sometimes My favorite clay Thompson moment of all time is when Richard Jefferson dunked on him on Christmas day.  He looks like the one pita Thing from sausage party movie. Everybody always does that one. I feel bad for him because he gets trolled for them It's a lot Oh my god, hold on. I found it Oh, that's a good favorite clay Thompson moment. I guess he got his feelings hurt Like somebody actually made that to look like him, but it's too was like what is up with like Have you ever seen the one of larry nance larry nance jr.  I don't know if any of you guys have saw this, but for some reason I don't know why they made this.  It's the most outrageous video if you search larry nance jr. Patrick star. It'll come up Oh, I got it right here. Let's see what this is Oh, I think I have seen this before actually and he was like, why why did you guys do this? It's so funny But I don't know why they did that.   We got basketball so It's just not their day. Hmm. The boston red socks, man Hey, they're good, right? They're It's so annoying It's so annoying that they're in the division that they're in because if they were literally in any other division They'd be in like first or second place, but they're in fourth still above the Yankees though Oh, we got we celebrated. They're still in the basement. So that's fun Can't wait for that Um Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's it's It's may I'm not really going to go crazy about worrying about baseball until probably I'll start break and then we'll see Yeah, hopefully we hopefully we have more wins the white socks by this point, but the cleveland guardians guys I've never seen a more pitiful team in my life Ever not even the a's No, because I don't I don't look at them. I don't watch them We lost to them. So yeah, so Oh, no This is what we'll do. We'll so okay explain explain to me what's going on because I see all of your tweets and stuff Ignore them, please. It's just like my oh Guys, I have a baseball account where I am just openly I just want those ideas out somewhere to talk about them So I made it because if I put them on my regular twitter people would be like, are you okay? No, I'm not okay guys um They're just not good right now They're not very good. They're not hitting pitching pitching's okay. Like starting pitching is pretty decent That's probably one of our best things Because we will lose a game and it'll be two nothing Or it'll be like two one or like Three nothing. We don't they don't square a lot of runs Okay, unless Our bullpen comes in and james karen check goes out there and gives up a bond So let's we don't like him. I know that much put him in Let's not put him in the games in high leverage situations. Let's wait till we're up like five nothing Sure, try that one So they're just not good. They can't hit the ball.  They're not trying anything new They just keep playing the same people over and over again that aren't doing anything Just kind of annoying. We're calling up guys, but we're not playing them So why are you calling them up? You know, you're just like wasting them. They're not getting it bats if you want them to be consistent Just leave them in triple a Because they're wasting away On the bench Man, that's all I got for them. I yeah, I have nothing right now. It's just so it's just so bad This is a fun question to get our minds off of bad baseball. Are we going anywhere for Memorial Day weekend? Are you doing anything? No, I'm gonna probably Sip by the lake for a little bit drinking app or I'll spritz and take an app and that sounds like a day You want to come out here for the weekend? We're house sitting at friend's house and they have a pool. So Oh, yeah, I'll pack my bags Just come to the weekend pack my bags. It's gonna be nice and warm like 80 80 something it's been 80 Yeah, I'll get the bags packed and I'm ready to go Maybe we can catch a Dodger game or something that'd be fun I am going to a guardians game this weekend and not because I want to watch them. It's because I want to watch shohei otani. So Yeah, she'll be good. She'll be fun. He's uh, he's very fun. The red sox are playing out here. Um Neck not next week the following I believe They're playing San Diego too. I'm gonna try to get down there for that But that's not looking as likely but I want to go to every game of the anheim series Yeah, it's possible because it's just so fun. It's shohei's just must-see tv And if you can get there in person, I want to say something about the red sox that I didn't really realize So Devers I have I have something to say about him now when I say this I don't mean this as like I'm attracted to this man. This is not the way I'm saying he's just like a cute guy He's just a little cute. He is He reminds me of franklin the turtle Like he's just a little like cute little chubby cheeks and just his facial expressions are hysterical He just looks happy to be there Just the happiest boy says same over there He is yeah, I love him to death. I love him so much. I'm I'm glad that if anybody signed an extension on this team and they Finally paid somebody it was him because I would have been devastated if him and bogarts both left That would have been um Let me answer this question though brie is the nhl a lottery rigged.  It's crazy um I think it might be just a little overblown, but I'm he's very very very good I just don't like putting all that pressure on like the young guys like that But whatever question is they rigged it against my fake and it's an agent So I didn't watch it because the Bruins weren't involved. So I don't care um But apparently they announced the third pick before the ball was drawn and I don't like I don't know how that happens Like I don't know how you do that and then I expect people to not say here and say yes, like this obviously Is rigged and then The team that ended up with the first pick is the chicago black hawks And if you've been following hockey over the last couple of seasons, uh, the chicago black hawks suck bad in more ways than one right like bad on the ice and uh, just bad In general covering up sexual abuse and things like that for years and years and years Like 10 years worth of abuse covered up horrible The fact that they are able to have Not only a first round pick but the number one overall pick Despite all of that Is so bad And it sucks for the people like me who try to say Oh that culture of the nhl is changing It's for the better things are finally starting to get better and then this happens And you're like, oh, okay I'm trying to defend you here when you really aren't giving me much to work with as it is and then this Because and there was a tweet. I should have clipped it for This to pull it up. But there was a tweet that brought up other incidents um in the nhl one was like, uh A contract that was legal at the time technically legal now. They got picks taken away Uh, pre-draft visits that weren't sanctioned.  So So it's just it's just really annoying uh Like I said, you try and you try to take the little scraps that they give you about how the culture of hockey is changing and it's it's becoming more modern and and accepted and right and then this happens so But I mean the blackhawks, you know sold Over like three million dollars worth of season tickets. So That's cool Wait, congrats guys. So annoying. But yeah, uh pretty weird that all of that happened last night like I I don't think it's rigged.  Come on. Yeah, it's like don't make it look like that Yeah, um, I just don't get it one more mba thing I have and then we can completely stop talking about mba. Okay. What is up with yannis? That's the question everybody wants to know he unfollowed everybody on twitter super diva He's acting a bit dramatic. Yeah a little bit now again. I'm a big yannis fan on the court. I think he's phenomenal Yeah, probably the best player in the nba right now, but he needs to He needs to be better. He had to be better and he didn't it was his Fall and again back to the reporter Your season was a failure. You guys didn't win. You were the number one seed you lost to the heat Who are I want to know well on their way to the next round? What does he feel disrespected about?  You didn't win MVP. Okay Try a little harder next year. I feel like I'm the only one in the world The only one in the world that like has ever disrespected him everybody else just like sings his praises 24 7 I don't understand what he could be complaining about like that tweet today. What are you talking about? I am tired of the disrespect. No one's disrespecting you No one is doing that Are you mad that your coach got fired your season doesn't serve another six months anyway So what are you talking about? Where's he gonna go? Where are you coming to you're gonna come to Boston to watch a game. That's cool be my guest I'm sure they could hook you up with like a nice little seating arrangement But like he's got bold and state written all over it. Oh my god, that would I would I can't believe I'm gonna be honest villain era I think I might actually say I would hate him more than I hated kd for making that move Yeah, I would too Because I feel like right now everybody's kind of even Does that make sense? I think just everybody like the teams that are good all have really really good players. It's not like everybody stacked onto one That would be the definition of Ring chasing like kd did it. Yeah, but like What was really gonna happen in okc After, you know, the band of brothers kind of fell apart This like you still The buck seems still isn't bad like Yeah, they under underachieved in the playoffs But like they're still a good team and maybe all they needed was a culture change with the head coach like Mike budinholzer Whatever like I feel like Last year they should have made this move Yep, it's all it's always a coach, you know Like I just don't understand what his what he could possibly be Disrespect feel disrespected about like Was he not named on like an all All nba all defense team like I don't understand what his his problem is Like the only disrespect that there was was how uh you and your team played so It was disrespectful to me for having to watch it So pretty bad. Yeah Like if we want to talk disrespect like we can have a conversation But other than that like I I can't sympathize I I truly can't I don't know what his issue is But That's it for basketball. We need to have a hockey discussion real quick and This hurts me to say But it needs to be said we need to have a serious conversation about the florida panthers and I've I've come like I said last week. It's I feel better about it this week. I'm better, but I'm less upset I've come to terms with the series loss to them Um because watching them absolutely dismantle the turn out some Maple Leafs has been truly so so good for my soul Yeah, the video is now 20 so good and now that they have them on the brink of being swept I I feel Not okay about the fact that they beat the Bruins, but like I'm finding peace in it Yeah, it's giving me like nicks fan vibes. No offense to nicks fans But like the celebrating Yeah, now what it's turned into I just I I don't like the Toronto Maple Leafs So this is about as perfect of a scenario as I could have asked for Given the fact that my favorite hockey team just got absolutely embarrassed in the first round. Um But this is what happens when You have a team who last season just like the Bruins won the president's trophy bounced in the first round Like they got embarrassed come into it this year with the lowest odds To win the Stanley Cup at the start of the postseason the lowest out of all whatever 16 teams well, however many it is and That is what a A nice underdog mentality plus a side of momentum can do for you Like they completely embraced the underdog role against the Bruins They knew that nobody was going to pick them to win And they I mean they weren't wrong for thinking that because Most of the money was on the Bruins and as it should have been nobody anticipated them to collapse best uh record ever like make sense right, but they They really held on to the fact that Nobody thinks that we can do this Fuck them. We're gonna show them and they have Just absolutely embody that and rode that into now being up 3-0 against the team that after the Bruins got bounced Had the best odds to win the Stanley Cup And I know it's the Toronto Maple Leafs and that may sound comical to you because they haven't won A Stanley Cup since 1967 or something like that and it should be comical because Yeah, funny stuff, but it was true after the Bruins got kicked out Everybody looked at Toronto and said okay best chance to win the cup most talented team blah, blah, blah, whatever They're about to get swept like Wednesday night could be their last game Of the 2022 2023 hockey season, so Like I'm not okay with my state of hockey right now But I feel a little bit better knowing that The team that kicked the shit out of my team is doing that to the team that I absolutely cannot stand Relish every ounce of failure that they ever have And they're just Yeah, at least you went seven Yeah I mean embarrassing nonetheless But yeah, at least they put up some semblance of a fight maybe if it didn't even seem like that at the end but like It a leaf sweep would be chicken soup for the salt exactly like it just would be like It would just make me feel a little bit better would light a little bit of a fire in my heart warm it up a little bit So let's see like I'm with that one. I'm dangerously close to saying let's go Panthers Just because I I can't that team does not deserve an ounce A northern fans an ounce of happiness and if I can Provide that for them if I can contribute in some way by just rooting for the team they're playing against I'm gonna do it I hate them I hate them. It's like it's like how you feel about like The bangles or the stillness or how I feel right now because Remember I just said five minutes ago Why are we still putting james karin check in high leverage situations? Oh We're up one one To zero He's out there. I don't have any other words. I'm sorry He's gonna walk this first I'm done. I can't say anything else. I'll get so pissed off guys. I can't do you Do you remember how last week I said that the Toronto Maple Leafs fans are the equivalent to yankee fans? Yes Look at this comment It won't change the fact that the Maple Leafs had two times the Stanley Cup trophy says the boston ruins You haven't done anything since my dad was born Since he was born.  Yeah 2011 was a long time ago At least it has happened in my lifetime And they've been farther than any Leafs team in my lifetime has been multiple times So that's great.  I hate it. That's one of my least of arguments I think that I think that you should celebrate all the championships that you have But if you're gonna talk shit to another team About a championship that you have it needs to be within the last five years My thing is if you were not alive from them, you don't get to claim them I was alive for all of the pats ones. I can claim them I have not been alive for all of the Celtics ones So while it is fun to have that little back and forth with the Lakers about oh who gets to 18 first I can't sit here and say oh Celtics have 17 rings Blah blah blah because I was only alive for one of them Like I can take that one. I can take away and talk my shit about that one But the rest if I wasn't here for it. I am not allowed to claim it I watched the highlights of them on youtube. Congratulations I'd cool But you know what you know what at least you can do that because you know who can't The Yankees the Yankees like Okay 2009 A long time ago Oh, yeah We need to start a real dialogue about them though The Yankees. Yeah Well, I mean I'm open to any dialogue. That's about them in any kind of way So if we want to talk about them, we'll keep it short and sweet chat about the Yankees real quick Well my team is also shitty But that's fine because of my team's not paying millions and billions of dollars to make them be really good Precisely And I understand uh, they're dealing with a lot of injury Right now next man. That always doesn't work, but I also I have a Thought about who is injured and this nature of their injuries And I'm not saying I know anything. This is not I'm just posing a question, um All of these guys are dealing with like muscle strains and stuff like frequent muscle strains and uh, that is historically notably a side effect of um Roids Now I for it I'm all for bringing Roids back to baseball. I have no problem with your choice I have no problem with that. I think actually steroids are better for baseball, but until they are legalized Whatever I can't you can't But like John Carlos Dayton Always has a little muscle issue here and there.  So Like I mean, I don't know I'm just And he's a Yankee like the Yankees have have notably had Uh people, you know roided up in and whatnot I'm just posing a question here. Like who's to say we're not we're not doing it again. We're not getting Well, if they are maybe People on my team should reach out to them because we can't hit a ball the infield So maybe we should call Aaron judge and see what's available. Let's just bring let's just bring him back What's the worst? What's the worst that can happen realistically if you want to do that to yourself and you know what it will cause Sure People drink alcohol People smoke cigarettes, you know the side effects you do it anyways I mean I You watch like the summer of like the bash brothers and stuff and see me sosa and mark maguire Chasing the homerun title and whatever like that's I would love to watch a homerun. We would love 19. We have a 19.   Okay before we go. I have um three little fun questions for us in the group Yes, let's do these. It'll be free. I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to make you do this That's okay, but Okay, I have two things for you that are ranking. I'm gonna give you five random quarterbacks. Okay Okay, and you are gonna have to put them in order one through five, but you're not gonna know who's next got it Okay, are you ready for the first one?  I'm really glad I Went with that and we're gonna wrap it on up with josh Alan the same man of the night easy number one. Yep Okay, now I have five random teams Okay, same thing All nfc Oh god, okay, so I just put that in perspective Five random teams all nfc start off with the bucks Yeah, I'm starting real low. Um I'm gonna put them at five. They're not going to be very good Bucks at five next I have the cardinals four Okay, now we have The packers three lions Do I want to do it? I don't know do you? Oh, I kind of want to put them at one. I mean you're it's your choice your list your choice Yeah, I kind of want to put them at one And that's a great choice because I'm gonna give you the new island saints. Oh perfect. Wow.  Yeah, I I'm actually I'm very happy with how both of those lists Played out Yeah, that was great. Um good stuff Next I have the last thing this is all I have left Okay for all of us Would you rather be the best running back in the nfl Or the best six man in the nba and I think this is an easy answer.  Yeah running back you have five good years and you have no knees left And then you get you have that one contract Good luck getting the second one. Good luck saying healthy for a second one Like running back is the most expendable position In sports, I think six man seems like a fun job. You get paid a lot of money A lot of money. Yeah That's yeah, long career More money a thousand percent easy easiest easiest one there is Yep, I I wouldn't want to be a running back On ever any day of the week ever I'm also not that Give me. Yeah, give me like Give me six man money and I'd be I'd be happy Oh, yeah, me too Yeah, and then exactly you get the starting roll when a key guy goes down So you don't have to waste your legs all the time Vital bench guy you still get the notoriety Exactly like Malcolm Brogdon perfect example six man of the year winner this year He is the definition of what my dream scenario as an nba six man would be My dream scenario nba six man would be uh, jordan clarkson Do you look do you look great? Sure you get a hot girlfriend And do whatever you want the expectations aren't as high Like you're expected to be help off the bench.  We got nba to watch we got mlb to watch we got nfl schedules coming out this week Who knew that you needed a three-hour special Yeah, since why are we making this a big thing like we already know the teams that are I think like plays against I think that the teams feel like it's a chance to be creative Which it is because I like the videos that they put out. They're very good Yeah, but we don't need to do like a whole like tv special for it production for it. Yeah, like we already know Also really quick before we go, you know that You can play Thursday night football twice, which I think is kind of messed up.  So it's gonna be interesting to see who gets So we're gonna see erin rogers Like eight games Yeah, it's gonna be real annoying I'm gonna go into like my villain arc this nfl season with the whole yeah, and I think the first game I think the first game is gonna be chief spangled is the chief spangles.

Someone came up to me in the street and said are you Jimmy Carr? Or would you just look like Jimmy Carr? I said both. You on your phone? You know it's not the TV. I can see you. What are you doing? I was just checking my lottery numbers.  What's the national lottery ever done for us? They've given over ten billion pounds to charities. Yeah, but apart from charities... Wembley Stadium. OK. Charities on Wembley Stadium are two things the national lottery has done for us. But apart from that... Funding for youth workers in communities like the East End. Of Glasgow. Olympic and Paralympic medals. Yeah, obviously, medals goes without saying. Angel of the North. You know, that sort of thing. And heritage insights. Yes, what Henry said. Films with performances that show a ring. But apart from that... Typicals for new writers and performers. Kick some balls. It's a project to encourage homeless women. Green spaces. Did you cut those? Archaeological digs. Right. Over a billion pounds for protecting wildlife. Right, right. But apart from charities, Wembley Stadium, community projects, medals, the Angel of the North heritage sites, films, support for homeless people, green spaces, archaeology and wildlife. What's the national lottery ever done for us? Should have mentioned the Aqueduct. Wrong sketch, mate. No, I mean the Lune Aqueduct. National Lottery Funding. It was completed in 1797 after...  The National Lottery has given over 40 billion pounds to good causes over 25 years. So I'm told. Happy birthday.


Alcohol is a harmful substance that has an adverse effect on one's general health. The misuse and abuse of substances, including alcohol, will negatively impact the individual, family, and by extension the community in the face of this pandemic. As such, the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism is discouraged. Misuse and abuse of alcohol can impact one's mental health, leading to violent, antisocial behavior and suicidal thoughts. In the face of this current pandemic, alcohol will weaken one's immunity, thus reducing one's ability to respond adequately and cope with infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Here are some myths and facts about alcohol use. 1. Myth. Alcohol is a fruit sanitizer. Fact. Alcohol-based sanitizers are effective for the sanitization of hands and surfaces. 2. Myth. Alcohol gives immunity against COVID-19. Fact. Alcohol will increase the risk of other infectious and respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis, and pneumonia. 3. Myth. Alcohol stimulates the immune system. Fact. Alcohol weakens the immune system and worsens underlying physical and mental health problems. 4. Myth. Alcohol on one's breath kills the virus in the air. Fact. It is impossible for alcohol on one's breath to kill the COVID-19 virus. Here are some coping tips during this pandemic. 1. Follow all protocols set by the state within the workplace, home, and community at large. 2. If you have a family member offering dependent alcohol and you notice withdrawal symptoms, please seek medical assistance. Call a family doctor or visit your nearest wellness center. 3. Develop or be a support to those who are unable to cope with alcohol and other substance. 4. If you are struggling to stay away without alcohol, call the National Hotline 203 for support. 5. Do not use alcohol as a means of coping with domestic challenges and other stresses. 6. Do not use alcohol while taking prescribed medication. 7. Children should not be exposed to alcohol nor consume it. During this unprecedented time, it is essential to know that alcohol will not serve as immunity against COVID-19, nor should it be used as a coping mechanism. Moreover, it will only deepen the feelings of despair, anxiety, and confusion. The Ministry of Health and Wellness encourages the public to be cautious and vigilant during this time and to work towards minimizing contracting COVID-19 by observing the necessary protocols and being mindful of the impact of alcohol use and misuse. Please, everyone, be safe.


A lot of people are quick to call others Pharisees, but what really is a Pharisee? In the Bible during Jesus' day, we see one particular group that kind of shows itself to be an enemy or an opposition to Jesus, to the work of the Lord. So we want to look at one who they are, and then two, when people call others today Pharisees, what do they mean and then even more importantly, if when they call someone Pharisees, one who's the one that are calling people Pharisees, but then also what does it mean to be a Pharisee today and if what they're calling someone is that accurate? In the Bible, these Pharisees, these are group of Jews who want to obviously adhere to the law, but what we see happening and developing was not just an adherence to the written word, but there was there was becoming more and more increasingly a reliance on oral traditions. These were in many cases of traditions of them, of the Jews, as they went along different rules to kind of keep them in line, to kind of keep them adhering even to the written word, and what ends up happening is those oral traditions, those traditions of the Pharisees of men ended up taking authority or priority over God's written word. Anytime, whether it be then or now, when you see someone that wants to replace their understanding, their traditions, their thoughts, their philosophies over God's word, well, then we have a problem. This is in keeping with what a Pharisee is. As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us that we should not take away from the word or add to the word. Now, it doesn't necessarily mean by actually writing in over the scriptures or erasing what's in the scriptures, that could be a part of it as well, but his point is adding to his word is to add to what God has stated. If he says, do A, B, and C, and then you say, do A, B, C, plus D, E, F, well, then that's what he means, or take away.  That's really what he meant. And so let's go and look at one of the scriptures that brings about this out in Deuteronomy. In chapter four, verse two, he says, you shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it that you may keep the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I command you. And clearly these words are important. We hear that your word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sit against you. Well, his word, not our word. And so let's be careful that we don't do the same thing. Pharisees, on the other hand, that was something that was pretty much indicative of what a Pharisee would do. They would take the traditions, their own traditions that were added to them, even though they've got the written word, tell them not to do that. They would do so and they would adhere to it more and judge you, not according to the written word, but judge you according to their own traditions. We see Jesus rebuking them for this in Matthew chapter 15. In verse one, he says, then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread? Now notice they talked about the tradition, but look what Jesus says. He says, in response, he says, why do you yourselves, in verse three, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? One of the things you're going to notice, because people will call someone a Pharisee because they want to adhere to the word more and more. The issue is, though, that's really not what Pharisees did. Pharisees did not align themselves strictly with the word.  They were not good at that. As a matter of fact, one of Jesus' bigger gripes against them was the fact that you people who are Pharisees, you're supposed to know these things and you don't.  In Luke 11, 30, 90, he says, but the Lord said, now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but inside you are full of robbery and witness.  You foolish ones did not he who made the outside make the inside. And the point isn't so much real the context, although the context is important, but his point is he's constantly calling them foolish that they don't know. Now, even in the context of this passage that we just looked at, they're talking about, Jesus is talking about looking good on the outside versus on the inside. And that is something that you'll notice about Pharisees that they do. As a matter of fact, think about it as it relates today. There are people who will call others Pharisees because they want to adhere to the word, but in many cases, many of these same people want to be seen. They want folks to see what they're doing. They want people to hear them. It might be their loud, boisterous tone. It might be the fact they're pointing to things happening in their church or their so-called signs or wonders and so forth. Why? Because they want to be seen. Well, Jesus also addressed this regarding Pharisees. In Matthew 23.5 he says, but they do all their deeds to be noticed by men for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels of their garments. They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogue and respectful greetings in the marketplace and being called rabbi by men. They love to be called something special. They don't defer to it. They're not like, like we see the apostles in Acts when they thought that Paul and Barnabas were some sort of gods and they said, no, we're just like mere, we're mere men just like you do not worship us, but you don't see these men really turning down. They'll tell you that that's not what they're after. But in secret, at least by the way that they take it on, they seem to relish and glory in these things. They love to appear righteous before men in terms of what they do. They love to be seen as someone that's holy, someone that's full of the spirit. We're going to talk about this issue about being full of the spirit and if modern day people who call other Pharisees, if those who are called modern day Pharisees, if they actually are versus those who are calling them, who is the one that seems to be more in line with the spirit? But Jesus says this in Matthew 6.1. He says, beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them. Otherwise, you have no reward with your father who is in heaven. So there are these guys, these people who want to be noticed before people. They want to be seen as a matter of fact. They want you to see them and they want you to see what they're doing. They tend to placate. They tend to arouse or bring upon the interest of people who are looking for signs. They themselves want to look for signs. They want to do signs. They want to be seen as somebody. They give a sign on the sorcerer who sees what's happening in Acts 8 in Samaria. He wants the exact same gift for who? For his benefit to be seen because he himself, the Bible says, thought that he was somebody special and wants others to think they're special. But Jesus addresses this issue of people who want to seek a sign. In Matthew 16.4, he says, an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. And a sign will not be given except the sign of Jonah. In other words, if you want a sign, I'm going to give you one. The one that you should relish, the one that you should point to is that of Jesus, that burial and resurrection. When you see someone who does not focus primarily on Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, why he came to bring us life, then that might be an indication that that person might be at least Pharisee or co in their sense. Now, we tend to say that the person is Pharisee or a Pharisee because we want them to adhere to the word of God. That's not being a Pharisee. As a matter of fact, that's being God. But remember, the Holy Spirit is the one that gave us the word. And so, if a person is not going to adhere to the very word that the Holy Spirit gave us, the ones that Paul says are say on no spots, which is God breathe, well then that person might be indicating that they're not interested in God's word, but their own, whatever their own is, maybe their own growth, their own brand, their own marketing, who it is, what they do, those sort of things. But a Pharisee does not rely on the word. So, when someone calls the person a Pharisee who is looking at the word and comparing what they're doing, that's an indication that person themselves might be the Pharisee, not the person who wants to look at the word. Because remember, as we said and we saw before, Pharisees developed this oral tradition and this this tradition of elders that ended up surpassing you know, relevance as far as their concern, the actual written word. They knew of the written word, they didn't study the written word, they were never accommodated or spoke up highly by God for knowing the word.  Think about when the question came about about divorce. Well, Jesus says that was never so, but because the hardness of you all's hearts and so this tradition develops. You'll see this over and over and over again when someone wants to challenge what someone is doing and they're using the word, the response is not to call that person a Pharisee. The person really is to call that person more Berean than Pharisee equal because they are going, they're searching the scriptures and they don't see what you're doing that lines up with the scriptures. And so the put down, which is what a person would do who might not know the word themselves, which is what Pharisees did. Pharisees did not like to be challenged. Pharisees were irate when people challenged them and so if a person wants to challenge you and your response is something on the line of that you cannot be challenged or to put them down or to call them Pharisee, you yourself might be a Pharisee. Now, remember there are, there were some Pharisees who did believe. All the Pharisees in that time were not all bad. There were some that believed, well talk about a couple of good ones, but there are also those that believe sort of. Remember there were some that believed that sort of believed. I say sort of, not the Bible's word in mind, but you'll see why I have sort of because we'll see what type of belief they have. In John 1242 he says, nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him for they fear they would be put out of the synagogue, for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God. And so we had rulers, we had Pharisees, we had other people who were in religious leadership who intelligently had a mental ascension to know that, yeah, what Jesus is saying is true, what he's doing is true, but they, that's as far as he would with them. Why? Because they loved as he says, the praise, the love, the adoration of men, and they were afraid of what the other Pharisees would do or think. Pharisees tend to be bothered or concerned about what other Pharisees think. As a matter of fact, more to the point, Pharisees tend to be bothered by what you think, what others think. A true person of God tends to move away from what others believe. I know it can be difficult sometimes, but the person that's actually a Pharisee gives more regard. They're worried about someone who might call them out. That's a problem to them. They're worried about someone who might rebut them, give a response. We see this on YouTube, we see response videos and so forth.  I don't see what you're saying in the scriptures and so they would rather, they would rather not have that brought to light. They don't want anyone thinking ill of them and so what they tend to do is, oftentimes, just like we saw in the Bible, the Pharisees, even though we've had, we have this split with the Pharisees, you've got Pharisees who are more hardcore, who wanted to abstain from anything having to do with Rome or any non-Jew. You have some that are a little bit more liberal, a little bit more open and they didn't get along. Now, there were times where they did get along as a matter of fact with other factions of religious groups and oftentimes what you would see is you would have this alliance that would come together for the benefit one for their own self-preservation because they don't want even those who are might be in leads with the other group, they don't want to be thought of negatively and so one other hallmark of a Pharisee especially today is that they want to be admired, they will come together, that you would see these alliances with this person and that person and that person in many cases for the sake of unity so they can all one grow in their in today's case branding, which is why you don't see many Pharisees calling out other Pharisees, same today, you don't see a lot of false teachers calling out other false teachers. Now, they will say things that look like that they are actually believers, that they are actually promoting God. Jesus addresses as well, he says in Mark 7.7, but in vain do they worship me teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. Neglecting the commandments of God, you hold to the tradition of men. So in vain they'll say things, they'll say things on the outside but they hold on to their own teachings, their own understanding, those are the more important things. Now, I said before that not all Pharisees were bad Pharisees, there are some Pharisees who did end up placing their faith in Christ and were in leads with Christ. Obviously, we know of Nicodemus, but now even Nicodemus, Jesus rebukes him for his not knowing the word. Remember in John 3, he says to Nicodemus in verse 10 of chapter 3, he says, Jesus said to him, are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? Jesus is responding to him or speaking about being born again, being born from above and Nicodemus has no idea what he's speaking of, even though this is literally written in the text. The problem is Nicodemus had been taught or been schooled and he's more familiar with the actual traditions of men. Nicodemus, obviously, we know more about him going forward than he's there at the crucifixion and so forth, and so he's helping with the burial. Nicodemus, also another person on the Sanhedrin, Joseph of Arimathea, some of these men do actually believe. Paul himself was a Pharisee. So being a Pharisee in and of itself, that isn't the bad thing, but what was indicative of Pharisees as a whole we see that today. And so I want to caution anyone who would call others Pharisee if they are pointing to the scriptures. Pharisees do not point to the scriptures. True Pharisees avoid the scriptures and will condemn you for doing so and what now today they would say things like you don't have the spirit. You're not as godly. They would point to their righteousness, they would point to their growth, their numbers and so forth, but that's not what a true person of God would do. You may have growth, you may have some numbers, you may have substantial following, but that doesn't mean anything. What's truly a sign of someone who is of God is that person's adherence to the word. Pharisees do not enjoy sticking to the word. And so I hope that's been helpful. This issue of someone being called a Pharisee negatively has become kind of a sport today, but I want folks to be aware of what an actual Pharisee was and what a modern day Pharisee would look like. It's not the person that wants to go to the scripture and delve deeper, the Berean. That's not the Pharisee. No, the other one, the person who's opposite of the Berean, that's the Pharisee. Amen.


I got a whole death meds lobby to not shoot each other. Then we went knife only. Then we all got together for the teetop one last time.


Hello, when how are you all doing today? The question says, if fx is equal to mod of x plus 1 when the value of x is less than 0, when the value of x is equal to 0 then the value is 0 and mod of x minus 1 when the value of x is greater than 0. For what value or values of a does, of a does, limit x approaches to a, fx exists. Proceeding on with the solution, here we need to consider three cases. First of all, when x is less than 0, when x is equal to 0 and when x is greater than 0. When x is less than 0 then the function given to us is mod of x plus 1. When x is equal to 0 then the function is given to us as equal to 0 and when x is greater than 0 then the function which is given to us is mod of x minus 1. Now here, let us consider the limit x is equal to 0 from the left hand side. So x approaches to 0 from the left hand side we have the function as mod of x plus 1. Now we know that when the value of x is less than 0 then the value of mod x is minus x. So here we have the answer as minus x plus 1 or it can be written as 1 minus x. Now here the function is given to us as equal to 0 so we cannot proceed further. Here we have the limit as when x approaches to 0 from the right hand side we have mod of x minus 1. Now we know that when the value of x is greater than 0 then the value of mod of x is a positive x. So here the answer will be x minus 1. Now let this be the first, second and third equation. So clearly we can see that limit x approaches to 0 from the left hand side the function is not equal to the limit x approaches to 0 from the right hand side. Here we have 1 minus x and here we have x minus 1. So we can see that therefore limit x approaches to 0 the function does not exist at x is equal to 0. So that implies that the limit x approaches to a of the function will exist for all values of a when the value of a is not equal to 0 because here when x is not equal to 0 let us assume that x is equal to a. So the limit will exist for all a when it is not equal to 0 because at 0 limit of x approaches to 0 fx does not exist. So this is the required answer to the question that was given to us hope you understood have a nice day.


Hey everyone, this is Ahmed Dan of AhmedDan.com If this is your first time or repeat visiting this channel, thank you for your support. On this channel I have about nearly 700 videos and I noticed that I do not have any cooking video so I wanted to try something different and as a result I'm doing my first cooking video so today I'm going to talk about how to cook rice easy and simple way if you have never cooked rice before in your life so you'll find lots of rice videos online but most of them are complicated and therefore professional cooks are not for simple ways to cook and very difficult to follow but today I'm going to show you my cooking method which I learned from my life experience it was not given by any professional cook or anyone and I'm going to show you these cooking methods today which is going to be very easy and simple to follow and anyone can cook rice if you have never cooked in your life now the expectations should be real don't expect to cook perfect rice the first time you try you're going to have to just like you know trying to get the perfect measurement and the rice cooking but once you follow the steps you're going to be cooking a perfect rice very shortly you have to just like you know get the right measurement and the right amount of rice you are taking so whenever you're cooking rice basically you are dealing with two different methods one I call is rice water absorption method and the second one I call is water drain method so basically the first one which is the rice water absorption method the rice is absorbing the water and you don't have to drain the rice and this is very easy to do if you have a rice cooker but you can do easily with a pot but you know I'm going to be showing you in a rice cooker which is much easier to do and the rice or sorry water drain method is that you know you're cooking rice in enough water but you're not letting the rice absorb the whole water you're just going to drain the water once the rice is fully cooked so I'm going to touch base on that method as well but my choice of method is the rice or sorry water absorption method in a rice cooker and that's what I'll show you today so let's start so the first thing you take some rice in a pot which is self-explanatory then you wash the rice and usually I wash it about three four times so once the water you know runs clear so let's say you wash the rice and then drain all the water and now you're going to put water in the rice which is going to be your measurement and this is the most important part of cooking rice because if you miss the water level or the amount of water then your rice is going to come out either good or bad so this is what I learned from my lifetime of cooking rice that you take a measurement by your finger joint or finger mark so for me here is the perfect measurement of cooking rice so this is about two inches and if you have a like you know smaller or longer finger then you can adjust your finger measurement so for me in order to cook perfect rice I would just take water up to this point so which is going to be about above 1.5 inch but below 2.5 inch now depending on what kind of rice you're cooking let's say if you're cooking like soft type of rice for example basmati or jasmine or that type of rice then you're going to try to stay just slightly above 1.5 inch which is going to be about right here but if you're cooking hard rice or like you know strong rice for example which could be brown rice or parboiled rice then you have to take water level up to very close to this which is going to be close to two inches so again for softer rice you're going to stay above 1.5 inch and for like you know strong rice or hard rice you're going to stay close to two inch and that's how you're going to do so let me just show you how it works so I'm going to just put some water in here and I'm going to take a spoon just to you know make the rice even and now I'm going to measure how much is the water so as you can see it's not anywhere near like you know 1.5 inch so I'm going to just keep adding more water so if you take a look at my measurement right now you're going to see that you know I'm close to 1.5 inch level I can just add little bit more water and that should be good enough because you know I kind of passed 1.5 inch now let's say this is right now I have basmati rice if you want the rice to make little bit like you know softer you can make your water level close to two inch but if you want little bit like you know perfect type of rice or very not like you know they're not attaching to each other that kind of like you know very good rice then you can just stick to 1.5 inch so I'm very close to 1.5 little bit maybe above so this rice should come out you know not too watery and not to dry either so let's see what happens so right now I'm going to just you know put the rice in a rice cooker and you can use any pot for this for example you can use anything like this as well but you know rice cooker makes everything so much easier so that's why I'm going to you know try it in a rice cooker so right now I have the rice cooker on as you can see right here and then this should cook a perfect rice within about I would say like you know 20 minutes half an hour that range now if you're cooking rice in a pot like that one I showed you then you have to just like you know keep an eye on it and then you have to turn it off once like you know your rice is cooked enough so that's why I don't like to cook in a regular pot rather I choose a you know rice cooker because I don't have to keep checking it because once the cooking is done rice cooker is stopped and it's just going to be a perfect rice now while this rice is being cooked let me tell you about the second method which is the water drain method so this is the water absorption method the rice is going to absorb all water and is going to give you a rice but if you want to drain the water then all you have to do here our measurement was close to this mark on my finger which is about 2 inch but if you're draining the water then actually you don't have to follow this you can just like you know put it about 4 marks which is going to be like you know 4 inches or even it can be 3 inches but you have to just make sure that there's enough water inside the rice so the rice doesn't you know get dry or absorb all the water so once you have enough water which I would suggest about 3 and a half inch or close to 4 inch then you boil it if you're draining the rice then it's much easier to cook in a pot like that instead of a rice cooker because you know rice cooker is going to try to like you know absorb the rice and it can be there may not be enough space in a rice cooker to give you extra water but if you use a pot like that then you can put in enough rice so don't put close to 2 inch which we would use for the rice absorption method so put like you know 3 inch or 4 inches and then start boiling then the thing is that you have to just like you know once you boil for let's say about like 20 minutes 25 minutes you have to just keep checking the rice how soft it is or if it's well cooked so you have to just like you know you can what you can do when you are using the rice drain method you can just like you know take a rice like you know one piece of rice from the rice and then you just like you know press it and then you're going to know that you know if it's done if you are pressing the rice and it's all melted inside your fingers then that means the rice is done but if you're pressing it and it's not melting that means the rice is not done yet I'm going to show when to know the rice fully cooked from here once we cook finish cooking the rice but basically that's how you going to cook so let's wait and finish this rice then I'm going to like you know end the video by giving you my last you know comment how do I view on the rice just has been fully cooked so I'm going to unplug the rice cooker first thing and then you can see that it's still you know the hot vapor is coming out and it's very you know fluffy and it's not sticking to each other and you can see that you know it's a perfectly nice cooked rice and what I was telling you before that the way you can check if the rice is fully cooked or not so you just take one rice and then when you press it between your fingers then it has to be melted between your fingers so I don't feel anything hard in between my fingers I'm taking a rice and pressing it it's just you know totally I can press it all the way and I don't feel anything hard so that means the rice has been cooked fully in perfect way and that's how you cook the perfect cup of rice now if you're cooking it for the first time you know you may not get the perfect at the first time but you have to just like you know you need a little bit of practice and again this is the water absorption method works best if you have a rice cooker but if you don't have a rice cooker then you can still you know use the process I showed you and still it's going to cook a perfect rice but the only thing is you have to just you know keep on keep in mind that you have to just keep checking when rice is fully cooked so you just like you know open the lid and then take out one rice and just like you know cooking each time which can be a hassle that's why I prefer rice cooker and again if you were using the water drain method then it's easier to cook in a pot like the one I showed you before and you have to just put enough water in the rice so it can like you know boil or it can cook the rice fully and then after I would say like in half an hour or 35 minutes then you know you take out a piece of rice and check it and if you think it's okay then you have to just drain the water but definitely this is my method of choice I like this way water absorption with a rice cooker thank you for watching this video if you like this video then definitely I'll make some more easy cooking videos in the future and thanks for your support and I'll see you shortly thank you
