Welcome to day two of sherry's birthday Weekend there's Wendy back there. We're off to a mysterious location Valerie yes indeed very serious Serious serious mysterious. Oh my god. No, I was trying to think you saw my my computer case back there Didn't you all right? I'm not keeping that in there. Wendy's coming with us And we're on the road. There's sherry the birthday girl Yeah Fucking I yeah, I'm totally keeping that in there. That's hilarious the birthday girl has no idea I think birthday girl is no idea gonna cause me demonetization Valerie what you're gonna cause me demonetization Okay, well then don't put it keep with the word yet. No, I'm just kidding. It won't it won't no It's really funny though, so I'm totally keeping it. Anyway, we're going to lunch once we get arrived and everything That's what Valerie said. Yep. Gotta have lunch because it'll be a good time to have lunch So birthday girl, where do you think we're going? Well, I don't think we're going to Disney World Oh But Valerie's already said that it's not Disney. Oh, okay, so we're not going to Disney darn Well, I drove all the way down here, and we're not going to Disney. I am like her. I really don't have any idea Where would you like to go? We'll end up like the Tampa situation It was like mama It was a wedding anniversary, and they all thought they were going to Hawaii. Yeah, all the clues we did But Sherry and granny were the surprise remember I think I was part of the surprise too. I had guessed previously. She has an idea Maybe previously I had guessed St. Augustine But since we did not get an early start this morning, I know what's panicking and nobody is panicking about Isn't that misleading you Sherry? We're going to Chili's for lunch. It could all be a lie. You just don't know. I just have no clue. I don't know. I mean butter Valerie told you where we're going, right, Wendy? Yes. Yes, but we're not going to give it any good. I have no clue either. I don't even know either. They know, but they don't have any concept of what this is. No, we don't How would Valerie know this that we would not? Very good. Have I ever been there? Can I start asking questions like I did last night? Yes, I can. Sure, I know. I don't know. We don't know if we'll answer it. We don't know if I've ever been there. I don't know. I don't think you have. But have you ever been there? Well, you must have been there. You wouldn't know about it, right? Well, but I've been many places because you forget that I talk all around places all along the East Coast. I know. No No, I have to figure out. Don't you remember that I taught in Tampa? No, we're not. We would have gone the other way. Actually, I knew we weren't going to give it any good. We need to blindfold you. If she guesses, we'll let you know. We came to Mount Dora once and we went through, like, antique shops and stuff. Yeah.  Oh, we've been here twice together? Yes, we've been here twice together. The second time now we came for some special festival. Yes. Remember we brought Oreo? We did. And then I can't remember if either dogs couldn't go. We had to turn around and go back.  Okay, yeah, we're going to Mount Dora. So you've guessed it, Sherry. We're going to Mount Dora. Oh, very cool. I love Mount Dora. I didn't know we brought Oreo here, Sherry. I didn't know we brought Oreo. We thought it would be kind of cool to go around to the festival. We're in Mount Dora, Florida. You know, I thought you had been here with me. This place is so cute. Very Instagram worthy. Love it. You don't remember being here though, right? Me, no. Because you would have come with us. I would have. We went to Mount Dora, yeah. Especially brought Oreo. So we are here in Mount Dora. Valerie actually did surprise Sherry and I'm going to vlog our adventures here. It's such a cute little town. It's basically like the small town vibes. Kind of like there's antique shops and everything. So pick wherever you want to go. Yeah. Play one with a bathroom pretty quickly. And Sherry is going to pick where we are going to eat. Look at how cute this is. The sisters are walking. We are downtown Mount Dora right now. We are eating at one flight up and we're going to eat outside. This is such a cute little cafe place. I'm probably going to get a salad and whatever side appeals to me. But if they do have mimosas, Wendy and I might give them a little mimosa. Okay, so Valerie has explained to Sherry when she invited Wendy. We got our mimosas. Valerie got a glass of wine and Sherry got a beer over there. Alright, so Valerie ordered this cheese plate and look at how huge it is. That's kind of insane. Alright, so I got a lobster bisque. Wendy over here got a soup and salad. I think that is lobster bisque. Yeah, and Valerie got the same thing. Sherry got a salad. I was a chicken salad. This is also my grilled chicken salad. I forgot to show it before I started eating. After lunch we are just going around and looking at the shops. Valerie already broke the bank with some purchases. We got this really cute pillow which I'll show you guys later and then we got this little cotton ball for a decoration for our house. So I'll catch you guys up a little later. I don't know if I'm going to film in the stores because sometimes people are a little bit sensitive about that. Anyway, I just wanted to catch you guys up and say that we have done a little shopping for Sherry's birthday. Oh, Wendy's got some too for her new boyfriend. Alright, Sherry's trying a wine cheers to the sisters. Valerie's also trying wine. I'm trying wine too. This is such a nice cute bar. This is where we're buying a bottle of wine for later tonight. We tried the key lime. So good guys. Ooh, Wendy. You were saying you can stay in here all day? I could. I know me too. It's so nice. We are at this little restaurant having some drinks. I am trying my first mule so it's really good but next time I know to order it with Greg. I know when to order great goose. Moscow mule. This is a Moscow mule. This is Wendy's. Now I know to order the right type of vodka. And Valerie over here. Having a wine. Sherry is having her classic beer. So we're just chilling. No, they're really good. Yeah. Oh my gosh, I think that was the same train. Okay, so we stopped for a drink as you guys saw and I had a mule and stuff but this is just water. We're in this antique shop and we're in the back of the store. That's why I'm actually filming. I didn't want to get yelled at. Oh my gosh, there's a camera right there. So we good. Yeah. So this is a really cute shop. We've been going into shops like this for a few hours now. So it's been pretty cool. I wanted to get a quick clip in here because look at the ceiling. It's all flowers and this is another little cute store. So we're just exploring. Just walking around and Sherry thought this was pretty cool. Cool front for the bookstore. And now I think we're going to look for another bar. We have stuffed down a couple mules, a couple. Okay, maybe several. Anyway, more than two.  Anyway, we're going to head to the restaurant now and it's going to be super fun. Guys, just so you know, Wendy's getting a lot of weird stares and it's so funny because she's carrying this chicken around she bought. I really want to do a haul of everything we purchased. I got a chicken. Her name is Dora. Fighting Game Cop. We are walking to the restaurant right now and Sherry has no idea where we're going. I do, but we're going to the goblin market first. She keeps guessing. Sherry, you can go first. I know this is going to be a big surprise. I'm going to say I know. She's going to say I know. And one of our people may already be here. Absolutely. Is he here? Yes, he's upstairs. Okay. Okay, is he in the bar? Alright, we'll go up. Thank you. Go up, Sherry. Look at how cute they are together. Did you fix the house? No, that's not it. Do we have hearts? Oh my goodness. Couple goals. Wendy got him another gift and this is so cute. We all thought that Charlie had to have it. She bought two things. Valerie? The heart needs to be over. You have someone in Missouri that can't open it. That's so sweet. I know what it is by the way. I can't wait. I can't wait for her to open it. Thank you so much. I love it. I'll never take it off. Here's the Wellstonian bracelet. Here's Wendy's Wellstonian bracelet. There we go. We are eating at the Goblin Market and I haven't even actually looked at the menu but I'm finishing my mule. The mule here is so much stronger than the other place so it's kind of crazy and this place is supposed to be the best place in Mount Dora. This is the little room we're eating in and as you can see there's a bunch of books over there. So basically we have Charlie, Wendy, Valerie and Sherry here and Spencer was supposed to be here but he's replaced with a rooster. It's chicken. Sorry, it's chicken. This is our appetizers. I got French onion soup. Sherry got some deviled eggs and Charlie and Wendy got some appetizers over there. I really don't know what they got so I'm just not going to ask. Valerie and Sherry both got duck. Oh that's excellent. Okay apparently the Flamingon has a big mushroom inside of it which is amazing. I love mushrooms. I got fries and green beans. Charlie got the same thing and Wendy got the salmon. The salmon but she's trying Charlie's beef over here. Okay so dinner is over and we're staying at the Mission Inn. It is so nice here so I'm going to give you guys a quick room tour to show you guys around. So this is a historic inn that Valerie wanted to stay at so we have this gorgeous bathroom area nice granite sink. We have some towels nice little bathroom over here. This is a very spacious bathroom and then coming on out we have a Valerie over here. Look at this big closet space. We have a mini fridge. We got a nice bottle of wine so I think Valerie's cooling it or something and then we have two queen size beds. I'm so happy. Sometimes I don't really like sleeping on a sleeper sofa because it's just not very comfortable so I'm really excited and really happy and thankful that I have a little bed. Here is the nightstand right in the middle and here's the dressers with little TV little mirror over there little lamp and little desk area with a sherry. Happy birthday sherry. Thank you.  So this is actually a really spacious room. Here's a little chair and we had a view. I don't really know what our view was but oh it's a parking lot. That's magical. This is basically what our room looks like. We are only staying here for one night for sherry's birthday but overall it is really really nice. The next day. Okay guys welcome to day three of sherry's birthday surprise celebration.  The brunch is actually here at the mission inn so we don't have to go too far and then today my goal is to get a really nice picture with sherry because I don't have any. And we're both wearing stripes. Our stripes. I'll take my coat off so we'll be looking better with our sherry. And then there's Valerie. Hi Valerie. Hello. Here is the mission inn building. This is the mission inn little sign here. I really want to get me and sherry's photo here. This is nice. Okay so we are going to brunch now. Oh my gosh. Instagram worthy. Look at this guys. This is so cute. We'll take pictures when we get back but anyway we're going to brunch now. We had a little Instagram photo shoot and we got some cute pics for my shaman sister Katie if you watch this. This place at mission inn also has the really cool private doors and they have female products so I don't know if she'll ever watch my videos. We all had a discussion about the bathrooms at the commander's palace. And this is our brunch today. I just wanted to get a little overview of it. We waited a long time for this table. Sherry this brunch is huge isn't it? So we have all over there over here and then there's a lot of stuff over here which I'm going to walk over because I really want to see what they have. Look at the desserts. Here's the meats, seafood and even more stuff like vegetables and all of this. Alright so I don't really know where I'm going to start but I will work my way around probably just follow Sherry around like normal. Okay so both Sherry and I are pretty much doing breakfast first and then we are probably going to do lunch. So basically this is what I got. I got sausage, eggs, pork oil obviously with a biscuit. Sherry over here got her breakfast food like an egg type thing sausage and bacon. The mashed potatoes are really really good. I'm also going to try the lobster bisque. Sherry said it's the best she's ever had so I'll have to give that a try. And I got a ranch dressing salad over here. Wendy what's the tip about the omelette person you said?  We'll explain later in the car for the vlog. I said I would explain kind of what happened after we left the brunch area girls do you want to take it over? Wendy actually saw it. She's a witness. This lovely lady fell on her birthday we found out that it was her birthday she was coming down the steps from the buffet line and unfortunately she passed out before she hit the second step and her head I believe the right hand side of her temple met with a corner of a table and glass broke and everything so she passed out and hit her head and she laid there for a good 25 minutes right by our table and we had a part of the show right in front of us so we had to move our chairs a little bit so Ian Teak could come in and evaluate the woman she did not go to the hospital bad decision but she was walking and breathing and we were on the line a few minutes after the Ian Teak gentleman left and now we're headed to the clubhouse yep that's the story it was kind of crazy and it kind of set us back a little bit with our meal and stuff but everything's okay that is going to be it for this video make sure to give it a big thumbs up do it for your share I'll see you guys in my next video


From San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Micron Insight 2018, brought to you by Micron.  We're here covering Micron Insight 2018. You're watching theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage. My name is Dave Vellante. I'm here with my co-host, David Floyer. Sanjay Marotra is here. He's the president and CEO of Micron. Sanjay, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. Great to be on the show. So quite an event here. First of all, beautiful venue. Lovely venue. Got the Golden Gate that way. We got Knob Hill over there. So tell us about this event. It's not just about hardcore tech and memory. You guys are talking about AI for good healthcare, changing the world. What's behind that? Yeah, our focus is on AI technologies and how AI is really changing the world in terms of life, in terms of business, in terms of health. This is a showcase of how these technologies are in very, very early innings. They have just barely begun. And what's happened is that AI algorithms have been around for a long time, but now the compute capability and the memory and storage capability have advanced to the levels that you can really mine through a lot of data, real time, derive a lot of insights, and translate those insights into intelligence. And Micron plays a pivotal role here because our memory, our storage, is where all this data resides. Where all this data is processed. So we are very excited to bring together many industry figures, industry luminaries, thought leaders, researchers, engineers, all here today to engage in a dialogue on where technology is going, where AI is going, how it's shaping the world, and for the realization that hardware is absolutely central to this trend. And memory and storage is key. And we are very excited about what it means for the future. So a lot of thought leaders here today. Well, first of all, you guys have some hard news, which is relevant to what we're talking about. Talk about the $100 million fund and how you've deployed it. Even just today, you've made some sub-announcements. So one of the things we announced today is we are launching a $100 million fund to support, to fund startups in AI. Because we really think AI is going to transform the world. We want to be in the front row with not only the large existing players that are driving this change, but also the startups that will drive innovation. Having the front row seat with those startups through our investment fund will really help us accelerate intelligence, accelerate time to market of various AI applications. So our $100 million fund is targeted toward supporting startups that are developing AI technologies. And what I'm really excited to talk about here is that 20% of that fund will go to startups that have leadership that is represented by women or underrepresented groups, those groups that are underrepresented in tech today. This demonstrates Micron's commitment to diversity and inclusion in the technology space. Well, first of all, congratulations on that. We're big supporters of women in tech and diversity. It's something that we cover on theCUBE extensively. And now you've announced two grants just today, half a million dollars each. One with Stanford, one with Berkeley that we heard. We heard Amazon up on stage talking about Alexa AI. Microsoft was on stage. We had Nvidia on theCUBE earlier. So bringing together an ecosystem that involves academia, your partners, your customers, talk about that a little bit. So the two grants that you talked about, those are from Micron Foundation that is again supporting advancement of AI and AI research as well as teaching of AI to kids so that we can build a pipeline of strong engineers and technologists of the future. So the two grants that we have announced today are one to Stanford Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics Center, 200,000 grant to Stanford, pioneers in AI applications to precision management of your health, very exciting field that will really truly enrich life and prolong life in the future as well as advanced detection of diseases. Second, $200,000 grant that we are giving us to Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Center, absolutely cutting edge that will be applicable to many industries and many walks of life. These are intended to support advancement of AI research. In addition to this advanced curiosity grant to these two institutions, later today you will hear that we'll be announcing a $100,000 grant to AI for all. And this is an institution that is encouraging women and underrepresented minorities at high school level, 9th grade to 11th grade to pursue STEM careers. So Micron is really promoting study of advanced research and supporting the pipeline. In addition to this, of course our focus today is on bringing together industry luminaries, just like you mentioned NVIDIA, Qualcomm, autonomous driving of the future, automotive partners, BMW, Vistion, really to engage in a dialogue of how AI is advancing in these various applications. We just heard a great talk from vice president at Amazon on Alexa devices, really, really exciting how those devices are truly making your life so easy and so intelligent. We heard from Microsoft corporate vice president of AI research. So you see we really are as leaders in our industry, we are really bringing together industry experts to engage in a thought-provoking and inspiring dialogue on AI so that when we leave here today, we leave with insights into what is coming next, but even more importantly, what do we all need to do to get there faster? And this is all about technology. So Sanjay and David too, Micron is one of the few companies that was here when I started in the business and it's still around. At the time, you were just a component manufacturer doing memories and wow, to watch the diversification of Micron over the years, but also recently, I mean it's incredibly well-run company, so congratulations on the recent success. At the analyst event in New York City this year, you talked about not only that diversification and your investments in innovation, but you talked about the cyclicality of this business, the historical cyclicality of this business. You've dampened that down a little bit for a variety of reasons, that the capital requirements in this business are enormous, there's been consolidation, so how is that going? Talk about the trends in your business both in terms of diversification and your ability to make this business more predictable. So Dave, you're very right to know that Micron is 40-year-old company. We actually just turned 40, very proud of it, and really a company founded on the principles of innovation and tenacity. In fact, the company has contributed to the industry, to the world, over the course of 40 years, 40,000 patents. Just imagine there's 1,000 patents a year, three patents a day, over the course of 40 years. We are really a prolific inventor and we absolutely, through our innovations, in memory and storage, have shaped the world here. As technology advances, it really unleashes more applications and this is what has brought about the change in our industry. Today, memory is not just in your PC. Of course it is in this PC, but it is also in your data center. It is going to be the autonomous vehicles of the future. You're going to have as much memory as what you had in the server just a few years ago. It's inside your mobile phone, artificial intelligence, facial recognition is only possible because of the DRAM memory that you have in there. You have NAND flash that is in these devices, and with technology advancing, that's bringing down the price points of NAND flash, really bringing more SSDs into these notebook computers, making these notebook computers lighter, longer battery life, more powerful. And of course flash, solid state drives are also replacing hard desk drives in data centers and cloud computing. So many applications, these diverse applications really have brought greater stability in our industry. And of course technology complexity has over time moderated the supply growth and that's what we mean. That the cyclicality of our industry, yes, one or two quarters here or there you can have demand and supply mismatches, but overall when you look at the demand trends and combine them with the moderating supply trends, the long term trajectory for our industry is very healthy. In fact, we just completed a record year. Our fiscal year 18 was a record $30 billion year for us with profitability that puts us at the very top of the most companies with 50% operating margin and with 30 billion in revenue, we are actually number two largest semiconductor company in the US. In lot of opportunity ahead, given the demand drivers that are there in our industry. You've said publicly the stock is undervalued, which is, I don't know any CEO says it's overvalued, but nonetheless, the performance that you've had suggests that you very well might be right. Go ahead, David, please. Yeah, I just wanted to ask your opinion on, you are leading in this area now very, very clearly. You're growing faster than the industry, you've had a magnificent year and the whole area is growing, both the NAND and the DRAM. How are you judging how much to invest in this for the future? What's the balance between giving money back to the stockholders by buying stock back or versus investing in this, what seems to me a very, very exciting area? Do you have an AI algorithm for that? We are in a great position where we are extremely disciplined about investing in CAPEX to reduce cost of production and to deploy new technologies into production. We are very ROI focused in terms of any CAPEX investments we make. We, of course, invest in R&D. I mentioned earlier 40,000 patents over the course of 40 years that only comes through investment in R&D. Investments in R&D are essential because we are today the most comprehensive technology solutions provider in memory and storage in the world. With our DRAM, our flash, our 3D cross-point technologies, as well as future emerging technologies, we're really positioned as the only company in the world that have all of these memory and storage technologies under one company roof. So we do invest very thoughtfully and we manage our expenses very carefully but we do invest in R&D. And of course, we are committed to driving shareholder value as well. And we had announced earlier in the year $10 billion share buyback program with at least 50% of our free cash flow every quarter on an annual basis, actually. 50% of our free cash flow on an annual basis going at least 50% going toward share buyback. So we are managing the business, all aspects of it, excitedly looking forward to the opportunities at the same time, prudently, in an ROI-driven fashion, building shareholder value through investments in R&D and manufacturing. Well, of course, the great Warren Buffett, David, says that when asked if stock buybacks are a good investment, says if your stock's undervalued, it's a good investment. So obviously you believe that, Sanjay. So thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. It was great to have you. I hope we can have you back again, because we can talk to you for a long, long time. All right, keep right there, everybody. We'll be back with our next guest. We're live from San Francisco Bay, Micron Insight 2018. You're watching theCUBE.


The fourth question, some news reports indicate that you are undergun, your opinion. Now different ships are built to handle different types of threats. Ageless cruisers, ageless destroyers are built to handle the, an anti-air threat. A lot of cruise missiles coming into the strike group and to be able to defend the strike group against those type of threats. Mine hunting ships are handled or are built to hunt for mines and find the mines. Assault ships are built to land, marines, ashore and to assault the shores. Latoral combat ships are built to fight in the Latorals, built to carry out those missions in the Latorals, in the shallow waters close to the land where destroyers and cruisers cannot operate. We can carry out those missions and we're built to be able to handle and defend ourselves in those areas with our 57 millimeter Bofors cannon which is part of the ship which is able to put out a high rate of fire with gunnery fire at 220 rounds a minute. We also have a rolling airframe missile which provides point defense against an air attack against the ship. So the ship is built to operate in the Latorals and is equipped to conduct that operation.


Hey, he here, I got a package. We all know what today is.  Happy Stephen King release day, everybody. All here it is, here the stick boy is. Yeah, the Institute. Hell yeah, this actually looks bigger than an outsider. Let's see here, how many pages we got? How many pages we got? Y'all hear about the folks on Instagram that printed out fake dust jackets? One of them got caught because it had the entertainment weekly stamps still on it. They've been deleted now, but people were like, dad's not to cover there. Yeah, 557 pages, it looks like it's about the same length as the outsider. So yeah, this is the cover. It's actually very basic. Yeah, let me back here. It's got that. I love the first editions of Stephen King's books because they're not littered with blurbs or anything. They don't have to have somebody else's name on them to try and sell the book. That's what I love about Stephen King's first editions. You don't have to worry about it. And then we have just the, it's got a, that's not cloth, but yeah, so. Let's look at the title page next. So are you planning on reading it? I know there'll be plenty of people out there who are reading it day one. That's cool. Day one, there are people who are gonna wait to hear reviews. There are people who are just going to, their sole purpose in life is to rage, review and hate, read the newest Stephen King. I see you out there, Vivica and Dan 2.0. I see you, your whole purpose is to do that. And I respect that. I respect that. At least you stick to your guns. Yeah, so I mean, it's pretty basic as far, it's just like any first edition trade paperback. I don't see anything, I don't see anything cool, like images or anything like that. It's just paper with words on it. Okay, so it's a very basic institute. So, but what is your opinion going into this? I know I got some friends, like my friend Cody's like, and he's lost my trust, but I'm gonna read it anyways. And then there's some people who are just ecstatic. Some people like me are super thrilled because I have the theory that this is the third Jack Sawyer book or in that realm of thing. I just got through reading, rereading Black House not too long ago. And from what I read as the synopsis for this, it seems very similar. I'm also hoping we see Charlie and Guy from Firestarter. I'm hoping we see a bunch of different stuff. Maybe even Abra makes an appearance from Doctor Sleep. Who knows? So until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been another happy Stephen King day. Talk to you guys later. I'm excited, bye bye.


Three times something will give us seven or give us close to seven, so... She said we need to represent it in the place value chart. We can represent it right here and in the place value chart. So it'll be seven, seven hundred, eight tens and three ones. And we got to go back and count it because it's very important. We will probably get the wrong closure, so let's count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three.


How do you enjoy authentic, tasty Asian cuisine while staying healthy, especially if you're pre-diabetic? David, is there a way to do it? Somebody's asking on the internet. Oh, this is trending right now. All things surrounding fitness, nutrition. They're just, like, very, very relevant in 2023 right now. There was a viral post on Asian-American Reddit saying, how do you guys keep your cultural food while dealing with pre-diabetes or diabetes? This person goes on to say they're 31 years old. They're Chinese. Lately, they've had to eat Western-style foods because they're now pre-diabetic. Avocados, apples, chicken breast, chicken thigh, salmon, almond butter, green beans, asparagus. But they really miss eating white rice on a daily basis. Andrew, they miss the bulldock, spicy chicken ramen. They miss noodles. They love noodle soups.  And basically, they're saying, how do you guys do it? I feel so limited and kept away from my, you know, Chinese foods that I love due to my situation. Right, right. I mean, a lot of people feel like eating healthy foods in America at least kind of can stray you away from the Asian restaurants and part of your culture. So we're going to try to talk about this as people who have gone out to eat at a ton of Asian restaurants in our life. 10,000. Yeah, especially, like, Chinese food had it all, okay, the unhealthy to the healthy food. We're going to try to talk about it and, like, see if this can help. You know, I don't have all the end all be all solutions. These are just suggestions, everybody. So please hit that like button and check out other episodes of the hot pot boys.  I feel like Chinese food in general gets a bad rap for being unhealthy. Not because the Chinese cuisine is unhealthy, but probably what is available on the street and what, you know, Chinese people who are trying to survive and just make money have decided that people want is generally sometimes not as healthy. Would you agree, like, in terms of the cuisine is not unhealthy, but what people serve in America to represent the cuisine is oftentimes more on the unhealthy side. I would generally say home-cooked Chinese food definitely is on the healthier side, but restaurant Chinese food, especially stir fries and all the tasty, quick stuff. You mean basically the stuff that is punching incredibly above its weight and a taste per dollar ratio distribution? No, the stuff that is very common, like everything from Chinese American food, which is general sauce, orange chicken, egg rolls. All right, now to your more, you know, even soup dumplings have a lot of fat. You have all your- Right, because the oils of whatever they're using, the amount of salt, sugar, sodium, et cetera, et cetera. Sichuan food, stir fried in the hot, red oils. Yes, not that healthy, but there is a lot of healthy Chinese food, but that's more home-cooked style and a lot of steamed dishes. Those are not the most popular dishes. Yeah, I would agree with that. Do you think it is ultimately true that, yeah, a healthy style, it does come with some sacrifices, as people who ate whatever they wanted, like six times a day for X amount of years, you can't eat 100% of your most dopamine receptor touching foods all the time, as much as you want in whatever volume you want. Yeah, I will say this. In America, living here and eating what's available here, it does feel like when you try to eat healthy, you are gonna end up eating more Western food, like a sweet greens type stuff.  Or you're gonna have to be, try to be hella selective at the Whole Foods open, raw bar, whatever. Yeah, it's not necessarily gonna be always soy sauce, braised, five spice marinated chicken, I mean, which actually isn't that bad for you, so maybe you should figure out how to do that.  But obviously there's kind of hacks now and there's so many, David, diabetic friendly Chinese recipe books. Right, keto foods, whether they're pre-prepared or you prepare yourself keto cookbooks, right? Yeah, there's still ways to get your Asian flavors in. But yes, it will be tough to go to the restaurant and get your favorite stir fry without oil. The truth is, man, I think this is a commentary on American culture and just sort of like abundant food sources in 2023, right? Like you can come to America, only eat Asian food and still become pre-diabetic or diabetic if you like wow out. Yeah, because the portions are huge and a lot of the food here is not homestown. Right. It's made with a lot of oil. It's high glycemic. Yes. It could make you insulin resistant, right? I mean, it's restaurant food. It's made to make you feel good. Right. But actually there are a ton of, like we said, keto cookbooks, diabetic Chinese diabetic cookbooks. And you know what it is? I just got a stress that in America, guys, it's a land of abundance, but you have your own free will to make your own choices. Andrew, if you look at these home-cooked meals from Italy or the meals that they serve in like Milan public schools and then you contrast that with Italian-American food, look at the difference. Oh no, very different. So Italian-American food is, yeah, it's not as good for you as actual Italian food is, yeah. Right, right, right. But you know the dishes that are not popular in Chinese-American cooking? Andrew, bok choy, watercress, Skylon, eggplants, mushrooms, tofus, konjac noodles, konjac rice, cauliflower rice, instead of obviously wheat noodles or rice-based noodles, stir-fries, but using different oils, using less oil, using, like you said, the poached braised steam technique, the takeouts, they don't serve that style. Maybe the takeouts do in Asia, but not over here, right? And it's tough because if you like Chinese food most of the time when you're thinking of Chinese food, you're not thinking of steamed chicken, even though I love the steamed chicken dishes, I would order that. But a lot of people are thinking, oh, I want those super juicy, fatty, soup dumplings. Oh, I gotta get the twice-cooked mala Sichuan pork with chives, yeah, or like, oh yeah, let me get, yeah, the red braised pork belly. No choy, cow yolk. Yeah, and it's like, that's what you're thinking about when you think of Chinese food, when you go out to eat, yeah. Right, right, and those are actually, like, imperial dishes that were meant to be, like, eaten very seldomly back in the day, too, but obviously protein sources have been ultra-stabilized and cheap and, you know, they're so, like, commercialized farming now. And you can even make guo-tia with vegetable wrappings if you really want to keep it more like keto or low carb. Joe, some of these recipes look really good, man, and they still look like really Chinese. Yeah, how much do you think it is? That is true, it's about the representation. It's not about the total cuisine with a thousand dishes, but it's about what gets represented. But I will say in a macro sense, I do think that Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine and then maybe Thai and then Korean, and as much as it pains me to say this, and I'm just saying this on a median level, I might put Chinese coming in five out of five on those five cuisines, though. Well, as far as health. Median health per dish, but it doesn't mean that there's not a ton of healthy dishes that this poster is, like, ignoring. Again, yes, the most popular Chinese dishes that people want to name, that the average person can name, probably are not the most healthiest, but really for what cuisine it is, minus sushi, sushi's healthy in a different way. Yeah, no, and listen, man, I feel like that there's a lot of hacks people can still do to get their rice fixed in, to get their Asian flavors in. You can still buy Chinese flavor marinades at the store and marinate your chicken yourself. Right, low sodium, low calorie. Yeah, put it in the air fryer yourself.  And you know the crazy thing is, this is a quick thought that I'll end with before we get into the comments section. It's like, it's kind of messed up, but it's almost like, and don't take this the wrong way, guys. But if everybody ate like a diabetic, probably, and I'm not saying different people don't have predispositions or they're born into it, but less people would become diabetic if they already ate like a diabetic before they were one. Right. Listen, guys, like I said, I'm not saying for sure. I'm just saying I'm just throwing it out there. And again, hey, it's a lot of portion control too, man. A lot of people in America, they would feel like, oh, like, dude, of course you can eat a soup dumpling.  Just you can't eat all of it all the time. Right, right, right. Basically, this person was saying that there are so many little tricks and tips and hacks here. Andrew, you can use different seasonings.  Right, right, I like that. I like that one. Andrew, what about lean proteins like fish and chicken, right? Obviously, lean beef, particularly, you can just cook those meats with Asian seasonings on them in an air fryer or like a Instant Pot or something like that. And even though it's not 10 out of 10 like a restaurant Chinese dish, it doesn't mean that's not a Chinese dish. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, it could still appeal within like sort of the taste palette. Andrew, a lot of people were saying, you know what, you gotta just lean into the egg dishes. Fan-che-chiao-dan. Ah, tomato egg, yeah. Right, right, right. But there's a way to do it, obviously, it matters the oils that you pick. It matters all the time. Right, there's a lot of steamed egg dishes. What about tofu dishes? Lots of great tofu dishes. A lot of people were talking about how can you make your parents understand?  Is it true that the older parents, it really depends on how educated they are or how tapped in they are to like, you know, westernized health medicine? Andrew, how often are they gonna get on board with it? I think it's different because listen, if they're generally healthy or feel like they're healthy, living a long time with maybe just like mildly high cholesterol, which is like fairly common. I guess like at the end of the day, they're gonna look at what they grew up eating and what they're eating at home as passable. But what happens a lot of the time is that the American kids like us, we grew up here, we're mixing it in with western-sized portions. We're eating out a lot at the restaurants. We're not cooking food as much. We're not walking enough. We're not walking enough. We're not running enough. We're not doing enough cardio. We're eating a lot of carbs.  And plus they- Maybe 300% larger. And plus they walk around more and it's maybe a hotter climate, especially in like southern China. So I'm just saying, there's a lot of things different guys. Yeah.  Yeah, obviously, like we said, you can only eat Asian American food nowadays, or I'm sorry, Asian food, but because of what's available out on the street, you could become insulin resistant or pre-diabetic, even just eating your own culture's food in 2023. Exactly. And I think that that's the key here.  Like we said, here are some substitutes, Andrew, instead of rice, use cauliflower rice or black fortune rice.  It's good. For bread, there's keto bread, oopsie egg bread, Ezekiel bread. Some keto bread is still really good. For pasta, Andrew, there's chickpea pasta, red lentil pastas, pastas that are made out of more vegetable-based things, right, protein-based things. Instead of starchy potatoes, Andrew, substituted for a, still a carb, but a complex carb, like sweet potatoes. Because, yeah, Andrew, also there is a ton of stuff. If you are willing to pay, Andrew, there's a lot of pre-made keto options in 2023 or you can make your own. They got keto mantou buns. Right, right.  Because it's part of your identity, right? And you don't want to hope, maybe this person doesn't speak Chinese very well, maybe they're not around a lot of Chinese people, so they feel very distant from the culture. So they're just like, man, me eating the food or going to the restaurant is what makes me feel culturally Asian. So it's kind of like part of me. First of all, one, you have to enjoy the feeling of being healthy, but two, like, just don't eat it as much, I guess. Right, and when you do eat it, eat a smaller portion, right? Yeah, and then save the other part of it, and then you can eat it again the next day. So now you're splitting up a meal into two. Right, go out with more people, split it about a lot more people. Yeah, hang out with friends, split the check, so it's cheaper, also intermittent fast, so you eat less food in general, so when you do eat food, you can kind of eat more of the tasty food. Right, go for a 30-minute walk after you eat, so it lowers your glucose levels, right? It prevents your blood sugar from spiking as much. Exactly. This last comment said, I just refrain from eating foods that negatively impact my health. Any culture that harms you is not worth preserving. Whoa. Somebody said, I just go to Whole Foods and eat that. You can always make up a new cultural food, a healthier version with different sauces and spices. Yeah, that is true, but I'm also saying, you know, again, every culture has its unhealthy food and its healthy food, but people, when they look at Chinese food, they focus on the unhealthy food because that tends to be the most commercially viable. Right, right, right. And if you actually go to Asia, you will see that there are different chains, like in Shanghai, Guangdong area, and there's a ton of chain restaurants that never made it over the US that only serve steamed foods. David, one of your favorite dishes of all time is a dish that is very hard to find out here, which is huangmenji, which it probably has a lot of sodium, but as far as fat, it's just braised chicken thigh in a pot with veggies. Right, right, right. And I guess the part where you got to be careful is the rice scoop of rice they often give you. Yeah, maybe the sodium, but essentially. But you could cut that out and you can get Conjak noodles actually at the huangmenji. You just like braised chicken, that's your favorite dish. Right, right, right. I mean, ultimately, I think guys, you can still eat what you want from your culture, but you just gotta eat it way less often, a smaller portion, and just be cognizant of where you're getting it, right? But a lot of times, we might be more watchful if you're an Eastern person when you're eating fast food because it's so clear what it is, it's Western, right? Right, right, right. But then you turn off that awareness radar when you eat Motherland origin food. Yeah, that's true. Trust me, Asian food and Chinese food, to me, is still overall healthier than whatever you consider American food. Yeah, what do you think about that argument that they were saying, oh my gosh, all the healthy foods nowadays are Western foods? Yeah, right now in the West, yeah, but there's also... Because we're living in the West, right? It's like a lot of that harvest time, like digging sweet greens food, it's more... There's actually a lot of braised vegetables too. It is true that the cold salads, you're only gonna get that from Southeast Asia, like Vietnam and Thailand. Right, right, right. Also, there are a lot of low-key Asian sauces if you look at the totality of Asian things, like yuzu, ponzu sauces that hire in sodium, but low in calories, low in sugar, possibly, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think ultimately, man, it really is... You just gotta walk too. You gotta get some walking in. You know what I mean? Just get some Ultra Boost, get the little iPhone hand grip, you know? I feel the pain of this OP, man, but you gotta figure it out, man.  You're talking about the fried Chinese donut, the yo-tiao, that's like... Would you say that this OP is not increasing their knowledge base to figure it out? Yeah, just look it up, look it up, and then yeah, you gotta start cooking at home, plus you'll probably save money too. Yeah, trust me, as people who, as somebody who ate out like six times or even eight times in a day, it is true that all the sodium, sugar, fat, oils, carbs, it will catch up with you eventually. Guys, as much as I love to eat food and I love my Smala Sauce too, which is our chili oil, you can buy it now, smalasauce.com, I would still recommend you guys intermittent fast. Cut one meal out so that you can maybe eat slightly more enjoyable meals later on in the day, but just you gotta eat less food. Yeah, I mean, also I think that if you really want to, even though it's not as healthy, you can coat your proteins that you cook in your air fryer in soy and sesame oil. Five spice. It's gonna make it taste Asian. Boom, five spice, garlic, whatever you want, what is it, gochujang, the little- Garlic, miso, Brussels sprouts, yes, the Brussels sprout is Western, but the flavoring is Asian.  All right, everybody, we're gonna wrap it up right there, but let us know in the comments down below what your suggestions are on eating healthy, authentic, still good-tasting Asian food. Yeah, because I know that watching, you know, becoming insulin resistant or watching for pre-diabetics traits or diabetic traits, it is a thing in the Asian community, especially amongst the older crowd. Do not blame your pre-diabetics just on the food, though.  Listen, guys, it's 2023. We got, like, the old days, we used to go eat the carbs and then go to the farm all day and, like, do work all this agriculture. Society's just different nowadays. That's why old Asians like to walk around so much. It's because they just ate. That's why they're always walking around. Anyways, guys, let me know in the comments down below. Hit that Like button. Check out Smaala Sauce. If you do like finishing oil and that fits in your diet, then it's really, really tasty. Let us know your other tips and tricks in the comments section below. Until next time, we're gonna hop off, boys, we out. Peace.


Welcome to Breeders Syndicate, the only cannabis show breaking down the myths and history in cannabis. I'm Matthew, seed maker for over a decade and a half, and this is my journey into finding my truth in this wild world of cannabis. I invite you to join me and the Canaluminati by strapping into the passenger seat. But be warned, it's not always pretty. With the invasion of corporate culture into cannabis, it's getting even more muddy. Which is why I've made it my mission to have a permanent record before all of the history is lost and buried under a pile of cookies. We're the traditional market. The syndicate is a collection of seed makers that want to push back against all of the smoking mirrors. In doing so, we will continue to ruffle the feathers of those who oppose. And my personal mission has become much bigger than myself. Welcome to the cannabis underground. This is the revolution. What the plan is today is to get a review down on the three different punchy selections. So I'm going to smell and smoke some of this fine punchy fringrew. And try to get a review down of the different expressions. And it's kind of cool because these ones have cured all a little differently. So what's cool about these punches is that they have like most berry stuff, like most blueberries stuff. It can be really strong on the plant. But once it's, once you get a chop, it can go earthy, right? But a lot of stuff can, especially the blueberry stuff can cure extremely berry. It can cure extremely chocolate. It can cure extremely what else is in here. There's like blueberry candy, blueberry cream, blueberry. This one's like raspberry chocolate right now, like in scent anyways. But I want to see how it passes to taste. One of the other things I noticed the other day was that one that smell completely berries tasted completely black licorice, which is something new to me. I've never had a black licorice tasting strong bonnet expression. And this is punchy. So maybe that's why, like it was modified so hard, but it's impressive. It's pretty cool. So I'm going to start with, let me see if this is hot enough first.  So I'm going to use the rip for this because obviously that makes for the most accurate of flavors. And I'll start with number two. I believe number two was the keeper that he ended up, my buddy who grew this ended up keeping. But yeah, I'll see if it's my favorite. He likes to hide the best from it. He likes to potency the best from it. And I think he liked the Terps the best from it, but he still wants to pop more because he wants to find one that he's specifically looking for. However, like, like with me, like the number three to me so far has been one of my favorites, my personal favorites. But a lot of stuff is down to preference, how we smell things, how we taste things differently. So it's always cool to get different perspectives on the same bud from people who have experience with it. All right. So this is the punchy bluster under here. For those that don't know, punchy bluster is a purple punch banana on it. See, this is the number two. Hopefully it's just hot enough we'll find out right now. It looks like I'm going down on something. Sorry guys, I might be. Oh, there is a soft berry in there. That's nice. There was a soft berry in there. Okay. Okay, buddy, I see why you kept this one. This one's nice. All right. Now I'm going to load up another bowl here with that. How good is the blue sour seed? I mean, you know, it's all perspective, but I know that people love it. And like, if you love sour, there's everything from pure blueberry jam to full-on burnt rubber sour and everywhere in between. Okay. Oh wait, I'm simple. That was blue three. No wonder. That's the one that I tended to like the most so far. So let's see what this one, this is the blue two. So this is just keeper. I was like, yeah, that's a keeper. No wonder why it's the one that I like the most. So yeah, that's just strong, strong deep blueberry scent, which I love. And like I said, even after a few weeks of curing, they're just killing it right now on the blue Terps. All right. See how this one differs in flavor since the scent is very similar, very, very similar to the three. Wait a second while it warms up. Oh, and the other thing with the rip I noticed is you got a second slowly like at your dad.  I don't know. It's how I felt it worked best though. Okay. So this is the one that has a full-on black licorice taste to me. So this is the keeper.  Interesting. Did we have the number eight? Just raspberry chocolate. Like when you get those chocolate raspberry filled chocolates in the store that smell and taste, it's what this smells like. Raspberry chocolate, which I've seen blueberry chocolate and stuff cure, but I've never had this hard raspberry tone with the chocolate in the cure. And I love it. Absolutely love it. There's a whole lot to love about DJ's blueberry line.  It's definitely an artistic take on breeding, not a scientific take by any stretch. But what it did a lot for was a lot of really beautiful expressions to come through. Things like raspberry chocolate and whatnot. So that's special, but I don't know what this would taste like under this. And we're going to find out. We will find out. See if it has any of the raspberry chocolate. All right, here. So totally berry on the front. It's got great flavor. I don't taste a lot of the chocolate. It just tastes like blueberry. The scent is all raspberry chocolate. That's a lovely taste, though. That may be one of my favorite tastes at Maltry. As far as the berry goes, the eight. There's a lot going on there. Huh? Very interesting. I like what I'm getting from all these a lot. My buddy did a killer job on the grow, which of course is to me is everything. Other people say, ah, without shitty genetics, blah, blah, blah. But without a good grower, what good are the genetics? You know, like, that's the way I look at it. Super berry. Super, super berry. It goes to show you not everything tastes like it smells, right? You should edit it and post on YouTube's review. I think people love to hear you review some of your own lines.   Like I want to hear about other stuff. So, you know, there is always that divide there. And I try to keep that in consideration, but at the same time, like, yeah, I'll probably, that's a good idea. I think I'm going to take that advice, Jab. I'm already doing it, right? Might as well put it up and edit it and put it out. So real quickly, I wanted to apologize for the audio and the review of the punchy stuff. I did it on Instagram live and it was done with the iPhone mic and is what it is. So apologies there. But I also wanted to end the review by thanking the person who sent this in. He likes to remain nameless in our crew, but he's one of our crew members.  And his grows are exceptional, exceptional.  So props to them, shout out to them. And yeah, I'm really, really proud of these lines. There's some cool stuff coming out of it. So definitely go check it out, right, seeds.com. All that stuff, you'll hear the advertisement like, yeah, it doesn't even matter. So yeah, go check it out. Just wanted to shout out to my boys, say thank you, killer job, doing great work, great grows. Yeah, not much more I can say about that. I'm really happy with how these turned out. And if you dig blue, it's a great place to look. There's also a lot of grapes in it. But a lot of this stuff is cured up more blue than anything to me. But it's also like impressions, like one of my other buddies got one and he thinks it smells more purple punchy. So I spent a lot of time in the blue zone. So I can get those fine nuances out and maybe maybe I tune out some of that stuff. But yeah, like that's the whole thing about multiple people doing news reviews, multiple perspectives on everything. And that's what's most important because we don't all smell or taste the same. With that, see you next Friday. On our show tomorrow. Together and solve old strain history together daily. It's an amazing community of learning away from IG and it's an amazing resource for old catalogs and knowledge. We hope you join our union of breeders and growers. Come check it out.


The makers of Wrigley Spearmint Chewing Gum invite you to enjoy Life with Luigi, a comedy show created by Sy Howard and starring that celebrated actor Mr. J. Carol Nash with Alan Reed and Pasquale. The makers of Wrigley Spearmint Chewing Gum are glad to bring you Life with Luigi because they feel it's a friendly, good-natured show that offers you relaxation and enjoyment.  Wrigley Spearmint Gum offers you relaxation and enjoyment too.  Wrigley Spearmint Gum tastes good, it's refreshing, and the good easy chewing gives you comfort and satisfaction. Now, Wrigley Spearmint Chewing Gum brings you Luigi as he writes another letter describing his adventures in America to his mama basco in Italy. Money.  Yep, I remember when I first came to America and Pasquale started me an antique business. I heard the great American saying, to be bigger, you gotta think about it. Well, that's the night I went to sleep thinking about elephants. But in the morning, I was still as poor as a mouse. Then, little by little, I must start to understand what this saying means. If you want to be big success, you gotta work hard and always think up new ways to make money. Like to take a Thomas Edison, this is a great demand, so a lot of empty sockets in the ceiling so he's to go out and invent the electric like this. But the reason I'm writing all this is because I'm realized if I'm gonna be big, I'm gonna do things instead of a weapon. So today, I'm gonna make a big move.  And tomorrow, I'm gonna move all of my antiques out of Pasquale's store into a new place. Oh, I can hardly wait to tell my friends in the night school about the new Luigi Bascò.  America, I love you. You like a papa to me. Bravo, son of two. Give me the Luigi, that sounds wonderful. A new store, your name up in electric lights, advertisements in the papers. Luigi, you're really spoiling, splurging, he's exploding. Which I never thought you got so much push in you. Well, if your time must figure out, if you think a little, you're gonna be little. But if you think a big, then you're gonna get the big. Try the new delicatessen, you should. When you're making his alarming sandwich and you think big, those 20 pound slices could lead to bankruptcy. Punch my Luigi. I'm glad we got one good businessman in our gang. What other improvements are you going to make, Luigi? Well, the main thing is to bring up the sales. This I'm gonna do with smart American advertisers. Good. Then when the money is coming, I invest in a new store. Then they open up another store. Then another store. Stop, Luigi. You are pushing Marshall Field into Lake Michigan. Thank you, many, Luigi. Where did you get all those ideas? Yeah. Did you? Good evening, Claes. Claes, what was all the excitement about when I came into the room? It's Luigi, he's expanding. Expanding? Yeah. In what way? From now on, Miss Balding, it's Luigi and Roebuck. Why? Miss Balding. Luigi has become a human dynamo, a captain of industry, a force to be reckoned with, who is seeking to broaden his horizons and reach new shores of endeavor. Oh, now you're talking about Luigi or launching the Green Mary? All this makes sense, but I'm afraid I don't understand. Did you come into an inheritance, Mr.Basco? No, Miss Balding. It's just that I'm a suddenly decided to be a biggest success, and I'm already left at a new start with a new location, and I'm not going to try out lots of new ideas on how to make money. Well, I certainly must give you credit, Mr.Basco. But the big idea's he's got, he's going to need that credit. Mr.Basco, what made you suddenly decide to expand your business?  We're living now in a boom of time, with inflation, lots of money is going around. And if you read the stock market, if you see how stocks are going up, real stakes are climbing up, and this isn't the time to use up your money in the business. Thank you, Bernard Basco Baruch. I'm only joking, Luigi. I only wish that I had the courage to do with my delicatessen, but you are doing this at the antique shop. Well, I should send to pick a shop with delicatessen, and I'll make any difference. Oh, excuse me, Miss Balding, I'm going to go back to my store and move in a manager coming to move me out. Well, I... Thank you. Where? Himmel. Suddenly, I feel like I was visited by a rich relative. Olsen, what do you think about Luigi changing store so suddenly? Sure, eh? I don't know. Eh, Schultz, what do you think? Ach, it's got me a little so shimmery, too. I'm worried about the crazy way that that little Wiener Schnitzel is talking. I think he's getting a little too sure of himself. Funny thing, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he's going to change. No, look, fellow Luigi is not the type to forget his old friends. I believe me, he's as loyal as a coca spaniel. You are? Eh, I don't know, Schultz. Ambition does strange things sometimes to people. I wonder what Pasquale will say about Luigi's moving out. How bet he hits the ceiling. Hits the ceiling. Pasquale will go right through the ceiling into the straddle sphere and become another planet. Luigi, if you leave the antique shop, it's going to be over your dead body.  Well, un-make it. Look, Mr. Big Business, I brought you over from Italy. I said you'll put an antique shop right next door to me, and why do you suppose? Well, because you've got a big heart. No, because I've got a bigger daughter. And you know the reason all the time. Yeah, but Pasquale, please, you've got to make things are so hard for me. I'm not going to make myself a big success. All right, Luigi, go, but I warn you, terrible things are going to happen. To me? Terrible things? Yes, to you. Soon as you change the locations, the FBI right away puts your name in the AMA journal. AMA. Where the climate is to stand for? Aliens moving around. Oh, Pasquale, stop it. You can't scare me. No more with those silly stories. Luigi, tell me the real reason why you suddenly decided to move away. Well, Pasquale, it's because I'm going to find out the big American secret, the heart of becoming rich. To be big, you've got to think big. That's what I say, and believe me, Luigi, once you marry Rosa, you're thinking the biggest that a man can think. But, Pasquale, that's not the big I'm thinking about. Oh, it's a heart to explain to you, but, but I tell you, spaghetti place, same location all the ways it was the same with customers, you never made a million dollars. And are you in no way? Sure I know why. Those are free breadsticks I give out. No, Pasquale, it's because you've got to think big. You ain't to what's it called the hept. Hept? Yeah, that's the slang I'm learning, Pasquale.  If I ain't a cookin', a lot of people in this neighborhood have been eating raw meatballs for 27 years.   That's not it. I'm pretty busy now. Time is the money, but I'm going to take one minute of it to explain to you. That's very nice of you, Luigi. I appreciate it. Have a cigarette, Pasquale? Sure. Since when you took up a smoke? Since this morning. And maybe next week I'm going to start on a cigar. It's like a real American and a bigger business man. Cigarettes and cigars. Only last week your biggest pleasure was a chocolate a popsicle. All right, Pasquale. Time is a passing. The movement of truckers are going to leave on my stuff pretty soon. I'm going to make this a quick. So listen. Go ahead. I'm listening. All right. America has got the boomer times now, right? Uh-huh. It's a boomer. So everything is an afflation. Follow me, my friend? I'm a writer behind. An afflation means lots of dollars have gone out. The money has been spent. The merchant days are moving a fast. And follow me. What am I? A motorcycle a cop? Go ahead, Mr. Big a business man. Teach me some more. Well, I said the Pasquale isn't no more. Time awaits us for nobody. American a business is a fast but if you want to be on the top, you got to think the big. All right. I'm thinking a big. I'm thinking when a big dope I wasn't to bring you from Italy. I'd have been better off with the important can of sardines. Well, that's a life of Pasquale. Now, if you'll excuse me, I see the moving truck is ready to leave my store now. No, no, Luigi. Please. Don't go. It doesn't talk like a big baby. But I I'm going to miss you, Luigi. And in a row soon. No, no. Well, Pasquale, I'm not going to come and see you sometime. Luigi, stay. Stay here. I call you rent and a half for full 25 percent. What do you say, little cabbage pussy? Pasquale, I'm in need of the location. All right. Look, I'll let you rent the free. Just stay. What do you say, Luigi? No, huh? I've got to do something. I've got to call in Rosa. Rosa. Rosa. Rosa. Rosa. Rosa. Rosa, say hello to Luigi. Rosa, I tried, but it's of no use. He's still going. Luigi, if you've got a half of heart in your stomach, you want to go and leave. You don't know Rosa. Once she feels bad, she eats it to forget. And in six weeks, she's allowed to forget herself for the four hundred of pounds. Well, Pasquale, it's of no use. My mind isn't met up. Rosa, stop it. She doesn't fall on him, Papa. Go. All right, Mr. Movement of Man. Well, good bye, Pasquale. Rosa. Bye, baby. Well, Luigi, if you've got a goal, then go quick. That's right. You always have got to act quick in America. Come on, Pasquale. We're seven hours. I'm a seven hour for you, Mr. Movement of Man. And now, you want to shake hands and wish me luck, Pasquale? All right. Well, we'll go by Pasquale. Rosa. We'll go by neighborhood. Don't worry, I'm coming to see you sometime, but I'm not going to come back when I'm a big Gisucase. Pasquale's are going to be big German, you know. It's not what you think I am. Besides, I've got my own height. Before we return to life with Luigi, here's a suggestion that'll make it easier and pleasanter. From time to time while you're working, chew a stick of refreshing, delicious, Wigley's Spearmint Gum.  The pleasant chewing goes right along with whatever you're doing, helps reduce tension and gives you a feeling of satisfaction.  As a result, you'll feel better and work better. So enjoy chewing Wigley's Spearmint Gum while you work. See how it makes your job seem easier and pleasanter just as it does for millions of people. Now, let's turn to page two of Luigi Vasco's letter to his mother in Italy. Well, my mother here, my biggest dream is to come true.

Welcome to the last set of news. My name is Rob, and I gotta tell you there is bullish news all around. And the story we're going to talk about as far as Google and Tezos just shows you just the amount of interest that we're seeing from these enormous tech giants. And also if you stick with the project you believe in, sometimes things just work out. So what I'm talking about is that there was an article that just came out a couple hours ago Which said that Google cloud to become the validator on Tezos network very simply Google Cloud's corporate customers will be able to deploy Tezos nodes in order to build Web3 apps on the network. That's great. The platform Google itself They've already done a lot of things with Ethereum projects as far as node hosting and they also became a validator on Solana and really all this says to me is that If we're going to have Google come in and they're going to place their bets on these different crypto blockchains They don't just go with one and go this is the one this is it They kind of spread things around and diversify and for me that's uh that makes sense And on top of that if we take a look at Tezos, I mean, how did that work out for The price action because usually in bear markets good news doesn't do anything and bad news You know sinks everything, you know massively But as we you know shift around I'm not saying we're in a bull market But I thought down those is interesting Is that in last 24 hours vic coins down 3 3 and a half percent actually everything's pretty much down across the board Until we get down to number 48, which is Tezos In the last 24 hours, they're up five percent. They're one of the few because of that good news And then also I will have you note than last week or so. It's been up 20 percent So if you don't think somebody knew something that was going to happen as far as this announcement Think again, I think there's people that uh are insiders that may have known something And that's just I believe just how it is also on top of that google They haven't just picked up aetherian projects and Tezos And uh salana don't don't forget They've also picked up theta and theta if you haven't been around for a while it's one of those products that was just heavily talked about in 2021 a little bit 2022 and It kind of fell off because they're doing a bunch of work a lot of different upgrades And again, remember uh google Came in and they are an enterprise Validator for theta now again. Uh, you have to understand I'm very biased. I own theta I've I've held on to it for a little bit of time. I sold some but still have a good amount But again when we take a look at these projects pay attention to the projects that are building in the bear Because they will crush it in the bull And the next question I would I I would get from people And when we're talking about crypto product is raw, but isn't it true that I mean google will just you know create Their own different blockchains and then kind of just push The existing project to the side will obviously know but remember That's not what google and big industries do what they do is they start to buy up things and build on things Because they don't have time. They just want to you know get to be number one first and google Uh, they're the company that's from statista. Don't forget. I mean, this is their last 10 biggest Acquisitions and one of those is motorola for 12 and a half billion nest Which is kind of like a competitor to ring 3.2 billion double click 3.1 youtube 1.6 billion and so on and so forth So again these types of companies Just start to buy up everything and you know bring it really home and look at what facebook did in 2005 All they started to do is just buy up everybody in site And of course they were spending billions upon billions of dollars To become the number one social network and I think that's what google is doing They see the writing on the wall They're like we want to be a part of this because web 2 is all about centralization and putting everything in one spot Moving forward for web 3. It's decentralized everything making payments as easy as possible And putting people in power of their data instead of these enormous conglomerates Just running amok with all of our data And doing whatever they do. So that's what we have for for that piece. Let me know what you think about that in the comments section And also some good news. I like this part Voyager So there was a little bit of trepidation coming about with uh, voyagers They started to sell off or started to be picked up by binance because they went into Uh, they were insolvent because they made a terrible business decision where they sold Uh, essentially 630 640 million dollars for an uncollateralized loan these people named three arrows capital And for some reason they thought that was a great idea Well, obviously wasn't and of course we've we've been languishing Uh in in the field just waiting for something to happen And now binance comes along and says, okay, we'll pick you pick it up Unfortunately, there's going to be a little bit of a haircut Depending on who you talk to the different data points correct me the comment section It's like a haircut between like 40 and 60 percent Which i'm like great as long as you get something back and this is what's happening. So Binance is coming along and said we're going to buy you And what we had to do is is actually voting this and 97 percent of creditors Have so far voted in favor of the plans with hours left to go in the vote This is what the attorney said. So just to bring this home The attorney came forth and said we're on track and don't anticipate any obstacles and expect to be before you're on Or again next thursday And she was referring to an intention to confirm the plan On march 2nd, which will be next week. So once we can confirm the plan Then we're going to see how long it is before we actually get some of our funds back and what that entails I will do a deep dive into that But all's you got to know this thing is moving in the right direction And i'm glad this is behind us because it was a huge Huge mistake on their part and that's what we have also Some more somewhat bullish news, but what's kind of interesting is that I kept hearing these stories about how Coinbase beat the earnings report and how great it was and i'm like is it that great? So this was the story stocks Making the biggest moves pre-market one of those is coinbase And the reason why they actually jumped up and it wasn't that much Shares the crypto exchange rose more than 1% after coinbase reported a Smaller than expected loss for the fourth quarter. So it actually rose because they didn't go down so badly Coinbase's losses Was 2.46 per share On 625 629 million of revenue expecting a loss of 2.55 per share on the 590 million. So they Didn't do great, but they did better than expected And of course subscription and service revenue helped offset a quarter over quarter decline In trading volumes and also that service revenue One of those about 20 is staking. That's why you're going to see a big Argument between them and the sec as kraken got shut down for staking Which unfortunately is now 20 of the business model for coinbase. So we'll see how it all plays out and then lastly Now there's an article that I thought was interesting And i'll link in the description to read the whole thing i'm just going to give you the the bullet points and it talks about this is from Boyd Cohen and he says i'm american, but my crypto startup won't be this is the thing i've been fearing which i think is is Justified is that the new crypto products that are starting up.  And he says it's a good point He says it's ironic that companies like kraken and coinbase which have been operating legally us for a year They're on compliance, but then you got somebody like ftx. They made massive gains Just by gaming the system and moving offshore. So it's just interesting that the sec is They're they're enforcing by regulation Unfortunately, they're not growing the industry as we just saw What's going on in web 3 and all the different developments for the big customers and these customers? They're not going to be in the u.s. They're going to move off And then this was the thing i will have to i'm going to verify in a second He says i can tell you from firsthand experience as a crypto founder myself Every single lawyer we have met with as advice us against considering the u.s Due to the regulatory uncertainty and that's true. We Purchase the rights for that game floppy bird and we're going to bring it to web 3 and Essentially, what's going to happen is that nobody? I mean, you're going to be able to play it on web 2 because we're going to launch it through android and ios, but you're not going to be able to do anything as far as crypto wise Here in the u.s. Because regulatory uncertainty. So again, america gets left behind because of some bad decisions And that's it that's it for today in the news just a couple things to note And that is that tomorrow we usually do not financial advice with me guy and ben From coin bureau and into the cryptiverse guy has previous engagement some kind of like shark tank Thing through binance and he's going to be hosting that one. So that has to be tomorrow So we're going to move it to friday, but the exact same time So i'll let you everybody know about that here on the channel and on twitter And then also today is wednesday tomorrow on thursday I'm going to do a meet-up again at the san juan smoke house Now i'll put the link in the description you can find it if you're here in port urico And that'll be from 4 p.m. To 7 p.m. Great place great food And better drinks and then lastly just so everybody knows i'll be doing i'll be firing up the dan de jane channel again As we review alaska gold rush Which is a play-to-win model type of game Which i find pretty interesting how they're going to do things but that's it for today So look if you like today's video give it a thumbs up consider subscribing everything we talk about is time sensitive But that is a news today. Thanks so much for stopping by appreciate it. I'll see you on the next one
