Hey Alexander, so do you want to introduce yourself for the guests? Yeah, great. So I'm Alexander Schwartz. I'm working as a principal software engineer at Red Hat on the Key Clock team. I've been working with Key Clock for I think eight or nine years now. Okay, but not with Red Hat, right? Yeah, like I did the first pull request in 2015 as a community member and since January 2022 I've been employed by Red Hat and yeah it's cool. I'm working fully remote from my home office near Frankfurt. Oh nice. In Germany. Yeah, there is a Red Hat office though in Frankfurt, right? Yeah, there's one, but I in these one and a half years I never visited it. Yeah, I can see how that might be. But yeah that's cool. It's funny, I talked to my students about how one of the interesting ways to get a job these days is actually to go and contribute to like an open-source project and then you know eventually you might just get noticed by the organization that sponsors it so that you can you know potentially get a job doing whatever it is you really like. Is that how you kind of got to Red Hat or was there other considerations? Yeah, well there have been also other considerations so it's like I've been working as an IT consultant, I've been doing a lot of traveling before COVID, then working with customers, setting up for job applications, doing then key clock for authentication and authorization and then this project was looking for a new members at Red Hat to join that was cool and so I applied but then there's not only Red Hat contributing to that project so right even if you pick a project like key clock there are lots of companies working in this area and there might be other companies outside Red Hat looking for it as well so it's not just on a single company that's a good thing with open-source projects, you might change the employer but not the project. Right, right, yeah so okay so you were working on key clock it kind of pulled you in, what got you into open-source in the kind of the first place? Well I think I've been in an open-source since I was maybe 14-15. Oh yeah, yeah. So there were actually networks before the internet you know, Fido, I was a Fido point if that's something that rings the bell with you. Well it's like your mailbox is connecting together and transfer emails like two or three times a day so it was in the old days. Oh yeah, yeah. I'm kind of old. My college was actually on BitNet so I do have some experience with the precursors to the general internet but yeah. Well as the internet then came up Fido was kind of dead over time and yeah I think it was online with Comp yourself. Oh right. When they distributed all these CDs. Yep, yep I remember them. And when I had done, at least before I had Comp yourself, like open-source was hosted on FTP service at that time and you had Bit FTP so you can send an email to a service that then grabs a file. I remember this well, yeah exactly. And you would, the hardest part that I think people don't realize right is you would have to send an email to the FTP server to get a listing of what was there so that then you could send an email asking for whatever was there.  Yeah yeah it was back in the time but then still once there was an internet with Comp yourself and others I had the static website and from static websites I went into PHP doing like personal projects and doing programming. Gotcha. That was really cool and then I think around 2000 I then gradually went into Java when I was working in the bank. Gotcha. Yeah I, my first website was actually in Perl, that's being in PHP, but yeah it was pretty cool because it would actually, it was like a search engine but it would generate more Perl code to do the searches and then execute the Perl kind of on the fly which was pretty crazy. So yeah so this is exciting driving. All right so you've kind of gotten into key code for a long time and and so what you know what do you think is coming with Key Cloak or what's what's kind of hot on the horizon in your opinion. Yeah so with Key Cloak we've been targeting both cloud and non-cloud environment at the same time for for many many years so we're running an OpenShift you can but he's still down on the zip file and extracted and running with OpenShift DK and that's really cool and I think sometimes you want to develop on a local machine you don't spin up too many containers anyway you just want to have it up and running without it and that's cool on the other hand integrating with the cloud native space there are still a lot of things to do thinking of maybe cloud native events that we really natively integrate with that so we can get notifications in a cloud native way of when somebody logs in and does stuff so that's going to be interesting right we might have more showcases where you secure your cluster with Key Cloak and all your community API server. Yeah I mean it's it's one of those things it's I still feel like it's kind of in your kind of average website is not kind of a solved problem of the you know how do I get you know kind of authentication just kind of out of the box right and you know I think Key Cloak is you know doing a pretty good job of of trying to solve for that problem. Yeah it's it's kind of a daunting problem like managing your users it's not like authentication authorizations but everything a user wants to do like they want to register they want to have some terms and conditions confirmed they forget the passwords right it's it's all that stuff that you don't want to reinvent because it's hard to do it right and on the other hand we have communities in the Key Cloak space like the financial great API where they kind of define the subset or the way you want to do OpenID connect right as right with the perspective of a bank like it really secure right and this helps a lot because people don't need to worry so much like so that's good on the other hand we are handing out Key Cloak as something that you can customize quite a lot so you can write your own extensions and well hope that it's still as secure as it was before. That's why the approved list of extensions is often a good idea right yeah and I talked to a customer today they say there are lots of SPIs as we call them service provider interfaces and they say well we implemented extensions for 30 of your SPIs I say oh wow that you are doing quite a good job there. Yeah that's nice yeah I think it's it really helps like you know it's like everything else in open source world right it's like you know adoption really helps you know like you know once you kind of have that you know whatever that snowball it really does kind of help your product as much as it helps you know the world right or whatever you know thing that you think is cool so I know we had a couple other things we want to talk about but now after the flustering of taking that first corner I can't remember what it was we were going to talk about next. We can talk about Key Cloak was on the horizon still yeah so I'm also very much into monitoring and observability so at the moment we're I think well it's it's not official package but you can do if you're interested in metrics and tracing and all that stuff you can hook up Key Cloak quite easily with open telemetry with the agent so you edit as a Java agent to Key Cloak was also written in Java and you get lots of nice metrics even down to a single URLs that will give you an idea like what re-arms what are usually users actually doing with my Key Cloak oh okay are they logging in what part of the logging flow are they using yeah are they kind of using the password to set pass flow so that that's all then recorded like how many times has this URL been hit and that's really cool what re-arms are most active right and yeah we want to get or I want Key Cloak to get better in this area so and we should expose more of the metrics what's happening I mean it's pretty huge for like knowing where to kind of put you know like your technical resources right behind your application you know if you can if you have a good idea of what people are actually you know doing you know we can kind of save you money and stuff without having to go and support you know 50 odd different you know kind of authentication methods you know because some of them you have to pay for and you know stuff like that so yeah I think it's telemetry is really nice you know yeah but I think we serve two kinds of users one kind of users is they just want to have an IAM running identity and access management running they don't want to customize it they just want to have it solved right and the other ones they want to tinker with it and make this stuff that they really bring their business forward and we care for both of these right kind of users yeah that's uh I'm definitely in the bucket of I wanted to just like give me authentication right and then and then you know an easy way to say okay this user can do this and user can do that but once you start you might have ideas right right well the other part I mean I think and I think that's a big part of it too is that you get you know as you as your kind of application grows right you really start to find okay this you know oh we we messed up what this role can do right it either has too much or too little privilege and you know and so when you can kind of dynamically modify that and have a good idea of what it's supposed to be doing I think that makes a big difference too yeah so what's the next what would you say is the next big feature that you think is going to land with key cloak yeah well so we've we've been uh talking about uh zero downtime upgrades oh okay um for quite some time I hopefully that will become a reality really really soon uh so the idea is that um when you upgrade from one key cloak version to another key cloak version that you can do it seamlessly in a way that you run it side by side right right yeah I was gonna say because you can't you know it's one of those things where you know if you're changing that user database right you can't you know have a secondary server or whatever yeah well and you can't even just run another one right yeah I mean you you know it's kind of like a hard switch no matter what you do um but you can people are doing lots of things already today sometimes doing like a read-only stuff there or switching clusters and so and and redhead is running uh um key cloak for their own customers as well so we are um eating our own dog food as a as a service no but well no yeah eventually maybe eventually but no like every customer of redhead who's logging in is logging over the instant of key cloak oh right yeah so that's we eating that way for a long time it is it is and we've seen there are lots of lots of requests and requests are growing and key cloak has to um I don't know how to say um keep takes with that right well I mean it's like it's a huge like uh actual use case I bet that would be really nice for that telemetry as well because then you know you know like okay we've got you know all the developer logins on developers dot redhead dot com right or you know are suffering some sort of challenge right but all the ones into the customer portal is not right um yeah but we are not at dev ops yet so I'm um but we're working very closely the two groups working upstream and to work the ones who are actually running this service uh for redhead for our customers right and um and we we brought the downtime uh quite uh down a lot and we are now very very very satisfied with the downtime that's nice yeah um and is the rest of that infrastructure Java or is it using because as I recall like a lot of that stuff is actually Drupal right uh I well I'm I'm not so much in that infrastructure I'm all I can know a bit more how the key cloak setup is done yeah and um yeah and then we lose using lots of features every using um Federation there like having a user data stored another store so all the features that you see in the community edition we are very very heavy users of that functionality in lots of places right and um yeah it makes us a power user it's hilarious but still we need a community to the same community still finds new ways of deploying it and we're open for that both in contributions and ideas um and while the community and the customers while of course there's the open source community um and then there's the the customers who use uh the product that has a subscription with it right right um I didn't know they could drive where the trams go yeah interesting uh what was funny is that the trams in Boston that they are all like on the roads so some of them have dedicated pathway but a lot of them are just like right in the street um and so not only is it nerve-wracking to drive around with um the like the track the trams right next to you in a lane or something but the tracks themselves like you can feel them in the car and so you're kind of like oh you know am I in the wrong place and then you know and like I can judge the distance from another car but judging it from a train is a little bit you know uh a little weird so I generally avoid those roads when driving around Boston uh not that driving around Boston is uh all that simple to begin with but when I was in the U.S. about us like 10s years 10 of years ago 15 years maybe um they had like carpool lanes is that those things oh yeah yeah um yeah there's a few of them usually you see them on the highways rather than you then kind of like you know kind of regular surface roads um but uh yeah no carpool lanes are definitely a thing and usually the best choice um so like if you have a carpool lane option and you have you know somebody else in the car yeah uh they're usually the fastest route so what does count as a carpool two people in the car yeah so yeah more than one basically um but uh yeah and it's also but it's time of day base too it's like you can use the carpool lane when um you are you know if it's not basically rush hour uh without other people usually but you know local local rules apply um yeah well it's always local rules apply yeah yeah exactly I don't know if this is our turn or next one I think I want the next one you want the next one yeah he's giving us a fierce look here oh yeah yeah well I'm not exactly driving the best I've ever driven I'll tell you um okay now he's looking at us at his back mirror yeah exactly well he's nice like a car so um yeah it drives me like I like how it drives it's just you know I got to get used to it which is taking a little while you know yeah okay it's yeah it's the first one I'm here for kubecon so some more drives yeah during the week so uh yeah so what what was the uh we were going to talk about something else too yeah we're talking about ASCII doc oh that's what yeah yeah um I've actually used ASCII doc kind of like off and on uh for a while um the uh it's like we actually did a documentation sprint uh for fedora uh I guess a few years ago now um it was really nice because it was in like northern it was in Spain and then actually we moved to um northern Italy which neither one okay so if you ever do a documentation sprint again just let me know yeah that was always in Spain or northern Italy um yeah it was really nice um it was actually funny we had to change our schedule when we were in Spain um because you know like typically with like conferences or stuff like that um you know you feel kind of feel guilty because you're spending a lot of money to travel right but it made a lot of sense because something like three quarters of the people involved were actually European and so it made sense to do it here somewhere um and so we were planning on starting at like 8 a.m every day and then kind of working whatever and then we got to Spain and we were like this is a non-starter because we couldn't dinner until nine o'clock at night and so we basically ended up shifting the schedule to start at like 10 a.m but then work until 7 8 you know p.m uh which was just it was really funny that you know local culture dictated a change in an entire schedule um yeah it was it was really great uh I highly recommend where were we um uh Sevilla uh cool and uh yeah it was great but so I wrote a big ASCII doc uh builder engine during that sprint cool yeah an ASCII doc um Moldais ASCII doc where you write your documentation as code and you can have your CI CD pipeline really deliver that documentation on a steady website on maybe other things maybe you can generate main pages from that you have your choice and um and Fedora is also using Intora and Torra is then the static site generator that's built I would say on top of ASCII doc yeah yeah and this gives you a navigation on the left uh a navigation bar on the top um you can have a search engine uh feed all that content to a search and then that's an onsite right so that makes it really really nice I think that Fedora documentation sprint is where we migrated to that oh okay cool yeah and I think it was then and yeah Dan Allen did a great job on this one yeah and um I have to say that um I'm working for the uh I'm maintaining the ASCII doc plugin for IntelliJ oh okay and if you were looking for I'd say the best support of Intora and ASCII doc in an IDE um then give it a try with IntelliJ and the ASCII doc plugin so um you will have then not only syntax highlighting in the preview but also auto completion like you would expect it from an IDE right so auto completion for the for the references for the includes and it also picked up the the file structure of Intora so it will know if you worked with Intora you have these things to called modules and components and the special kind of cross references that work really really nicely and um the IDE or the ASCII doc plugin teaches that to the IntelliJ IDE uh but does it is it build it directly in IntelliJ uh it's a plugin you can it's a IntelliJ as an IDE and you can install plugins right the ASCII doc plugin and once you install it it has all the features oh that's cool um yeah the uh I mean I I think you know it's like like I understand the concepts behind like ASCII doc and kind of other mechanisms as well but it's a little bit hard unless you kind of have something doing real time um you know for lack of a better term compilation um because you know it's like I want I want to know what I'm writing kind of as it happens you know yeah um and you know sometimes I use the documentation god forbid um so you know it's kind of a yeah it's nice to have it kind of built in like that so you can get you know and then the is the IDE also aware of the docs kind of as they come sorry um well you have a live preview in your IDE of what you're writing of your writing yeah you have like a split uh vertically usually vertically split editor on the left your type on the right you have a live preview gotcha like um in a sub-second one to type in a sub-second later it will be refreshed right uh in place and you can even um sell tell it well it comes with a standard layout um or style sheet uh csa style sheet and if you go then one step further and tell it well this is the live the the style sheet of my live website you will it will make your preview look like the real side so if you have like maybe special roles for the different parts of the text and how should admonitions look like how does source highlighting look like it will always shown in the preview like it's on the real side oh cool yeah so um yeah we went to some length and there was also very good interaction with the community there um and so with ASCII doc do you have um I don't never think I ran into this too much but is there anything like a kind of a latex type plug-in uh yeah well they're latex I think it's it crossed my road in two or three places so you can convert it to latex eventually if you want to uh you can also if you are into math formulas if you want to pick up only the math formula part of it um then you can at least when you do html output you can use latex formulas and make put them in the output and they will run it in a nice way yeah because I run into uh that a lot more now that I'm teaching than I ever used to when I was programming um you know but uh like one of my classes um I have to you know like teach or hopefully reteach things like slope of a line all right you know and how to calculate it and stuff so that yeah I think it's not of yeah so it's very good integrated in html previews but if you want to prepare pdf um the tooling is a bit I would say hard to handle yeah in a polite way um so there you might be better off um doing a latex in a in a real latex pull out an image and drop that in yeah or yeah I mean that's how I do it sometimes because uh the uh yeah the basically the tech live uh instead of libraries is complicated and somewhat difficult to install and um you know and I somewhat make success with it in my experience yeah but there's a project called ASCII doc web ASCII doctor web pdf okay and Joom uh he's doing very good good job he's also um there they are using ASCII doc you render html from that spin it up in the chromium and create a multi-page pdf from that oh and this makes you really really flexible I know that you can start it anywhere you want as long as you can fit the rules into css another css pro yeah so sometimes uh kind of fail on that part yeah yeah css has its own you know entertainment value um yeah yeah I don't know every every time I've tried to like get good at css I you know it's just one of those things where I just don't you know I just can't get it you know it's just hard yeah well I think it's an every day thing too is the other problem right it's like yeah you know programming is difficult when you don't use the tech every day um like for my personal homepage I pulled up boomers css being a css framework okay yeah it's a bit well it's not so fresh anymore but still stable and maintained and does a good job so it's a very very light theme of the web page and I managed to handle that that was cool yeah yeah that's cool um and um and then there's another thing on the block called tailwind css oh yeah I've used that before and it's it's like cool like like I want to make a shadow there and that's what kind of class one of shoes and autocomplete that in your id right that's really really cool and that's my css yes exactly uh yeah it was funny I was actually I was working on a site for something I don't remember what but the um and I was gonna use tailwind for it um but then I ended up uh using MUI um because uh tail like and they weren't really like compatible or whatever and I was like this is yeah one of the other complexity perspective so but I wanted MUI for oh I know what it was for is because I wanted um these really like really complicated uh rendered tables um and uh and the MUI kind of built-ins and some of the add-ons were closer to what I needed tailwind was you know meant to be a lightweight kind of efficient you know css framework and didn't have these wonky tables I needed yeah yeah yeah but then if you want to have a design I'll eat an idea I'm not on design anyway but when I went when I wrote like a small well I now then give ask a dog trainings and workshops and for that I came up with a small collaborative editor so like people come up in a group of three or five they all open the same year on their browser and they start typing and they have multiple cursors like in Google Google yeah um and this is then like the real IDE or like the intelligent IDE but on the left you have the text on the right you have the preview and you're typing at the same time oh it's really low latency like uh sub 10 milliseconds or so is it does it do it locally or is it going across the internet no it will use uh web RTC locally and if web RTC doesn't work for whatever reason to discover the other kinds it like fails to public internet yeah it fails to web sockets on the public internet yeah and um so it's I think it's uh it's a hack but in a good way yeah right all right and um so I use it in trainings a lot and I have another upcoming training next uh the other week I think yeah the other week and uh that's going to be an outside training and I did lots of um online trainings on this as well so that's um yeah I'm enthusiastic about ASCII talk and um that's one of the ways I showed yeah well I wouldn't you mentioned uh Alan uh what's his first name Dan Dan yeah I was like had Ted in my head for some reason um but uh yeah exactly uh so um but I actually met he was one of the first people I met uh at Red Hat and uh you know we you know whatever talked a lot for whatever reason um I can't remember what we were working on together um that made us cross paths but yeah so so I do pretty well but yeah so he introduced me to ASCII talk all that you know he's been a great advocate on on a community there yeah um yeah so one of the things I really like about um you know and I know you have your favorite editor but mine is uh is vs code right um and uh it has a really nice uh you know uh whatever collaborative coding plugin which I think is proprietary but it's still yeah it's really awesome it is yeah um and so you know I like that a lot yeah there's if you're on telly jay's code with me uh but it came out a lot later after like maybe a year or maybe a year and a half after visual studio code was um then uh on every yeah every laptop yeah yeah uh when it comes to live coding at least everybody who wants to do live coding is then kind of move to visual studio code and not so many people came back yeah yeah but yeah let's see but it's it's doing a good job on this part right um yeah I mean I just like I also love that it is mostly open source um you know and and really quite enjoy it um but uh yeah well we are just about back yeah we are thank you so much for the time yeah uh you know it wasn't that harrowing I didn't think uh so you know uh in Detroit we did a lot of there was a lot of fast stops for things like geese um so you know it's uh geese in Boston all right no this is in Detroit uh and Detroit okay yeah uh so then I know there's no parking so all right well thank you thank you that's cool


Two team, whoa, this looks like it's like some, the heavenly light in the movies or something like that. It's not even in, it's not even a filter on YouTube. But anyway, YouTube team keep it clean. Let me step back. What's going on? This ain't great even here with another video. And in this video, we're here to talk about the week one game against the, why was I gonna say Indianapolis Colts? Against the Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know what's wrong with me. And we are already down one corner back. Already, and already. But anyway, before we get into that, I'm gonna do this from the beginning now. I'm gonna introduce myself. Me, I'm Engraven Vids. This is my YouTube channel Engraven Vids. And I'm a Ravens fan and we talk about everybody on here. All 32 NFL teams, but in this video and like most other videos, we talk about Baltimore.  Or if you're just a fan of the game, period. Make sure you subscribe. But anyway, and leave a like on the video too. Make sure you leave a like on the video. Turn notifications on so you don't miss any of these live videos or when they go up as regular videos too. But anyway, Ravens are down a corner back right now already. And it is Jalen Hill, as most of you know already. Jalen Hill, the undrafted rookie who has been, who made play after play after play after play after play after play after play. He's out. They said it's his hamstring. So would hamstrings are tricky though because remember Bashar Perryman? Remember Bashar Perryman, he had his hamstring. He got, they officially called it a hamstring on August 1st. He didn't come back until right before the last game of the preseason. And I think right after the last game of the preseason or the day it was Saturday, the Saturday, last week Saturday, that's when he first started practicing. So he was going for like a month. He was going for like a month. I'm good touchdown speedy, how you doing? But yeah, so I know a lot of y'all saying he'll be fine, which I hope that's the case. But who knows? Because with Bashar Perryman, they said it was just a hamstring injury. He was going a month. We don't want Jalen Hill going a month. We really don't want him gone at all. But is this gonna be a concern for us? Yes, but no, I think they'll still be fine. I think we'll still be fine because as long as nobody gets hurt, if somebody gets hurt, then we'll have a problem. But we got Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carl, Marlon Humphrey. We got Ladarius Webb. We got Anthony Levine. So we have some corners. And then of course, the safeties, Eric Guetto, Tony Jefferson, they're gonna be doing that thing as well. But Ladarius Webb and Ladarius Webb and, oh that echo went away. Ladarius Webb and Anthony Levine, they can play both corner and safety. So they are, I can't say two way players, they are their depth guys. So they can help us with depth. So you know, Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carl, Marlon Humphrey, strictly corners. Eric Guetto, Tony Jefferson, strictly safeties. Boykin is on injured reserve. Hybrid players, thank you, Seedy. Thank you, appreciate you, man. See, that's why I love doing these live streams because when I say something wrong or forget about something, y'all can correct me right away. Appreciate that, them cowboys. Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. I lost my training thought. But anyway, yeah, as long as nobody gets hurt, because like I said, Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carl, Marlon Humphrey, cornerbacks. And then, Ladarius Webb, Anthony Levine. And they're not just guys that can play corner, but they're guys that do play corner and they play corner well. Ladarius Webb played very, he played great in the pre-season at Slot. I was scared for him being there in the Slot, but seeing what he did in the pre-season gave me a lot more confidence because he actually looked young again. I know he's not young again, but he actually looked young again. He didn't look like last year when he was taking a lot of bad angles. And it just scared me based on what he did last year because last year, really more so at the beginning of last year. And I understand it was him switching to safety. So it took some time to adjust, which was fine, understandable. Yes, Boykin is out for the year. And you're right, CD it is, his Achilles. He toys Achilles, not his ACL. So with him doing that transition last year, it took him some time. Took him some time. He didn't get it right away. But throughout the year, he started to play better and better and better and better and better. He kept on improving his craft as safety. And then at the end of the year, he was a solid safety, man. He was a solid safety. So, but it's more so just, just feeling like Lidarius Webb was older now. I just, and from what I really, mainly what I saw at the beginning of the year, I just felt like he needed to stay at safety and he didn't need to play corn. What's up, Chris? I'm getting it this time, man. What's going on, Chris? I ain't messing up this time, man. But I was scared about Lidarius Webb playing in a slot because first of course, it was gonna be Tavon Young. Man, that guy, that sucks, man. Tavon Young, man, we would have been. Oh, our cornerbacks would have been so nice. Man, then Maurice Kennedy, they said he was looking good. I can't speak on that because I didn't see him in any game action, so I don't know.  Then he gets hurt. He got hurt his rookie year, he got hurt this year. He just been, he keeps getting hurt. I don't know when we're gonna see this guy play. So that was that with him and we just kept losing corner after corner. Then they put Boykin on Injured Reserve. And it's just been crazy. Now Jalen Hill dealing with a hamstring injury. Hopefully it's not that serious. Hopefully, yeah, Webb was very good before he towards ACL twice, yes. Yeah, Webb was nice, man. When they cut Webb and then they brought him back and then I, when they cut him, I was like, oh, well it ain't no surprise, but then they brought him back and I was like, okay, not really surprised, but that's a good thing too, man. That's a good thing. Is he kind of slow now? No, from what I saw, no. I mean, he obviously ain't gonna be the same exact guy that he was when he was younger, but he is still a quality cornerback safety, whatever. He, like I said, in that preseason, he looked good, man. He looked good. And cornerbacks, they don't, how do I explain it? Cornerback is not a position where you can really shine in the preseason without it being for real. You get what I'm saying? Cause like a quarterback, a quarterback can, he can be completing all these passes in the preseason, but the defense, the defense is, they may not be scheming as much. They may not be blitzing as much. He might not even be playing against starters, but when I saw the Darius Webb play against starters, he was playing in coverage. He was blitzing and just seeing him blitz, he showed that spark, he showed that flash, he showed that stuff, man. And I was like, wow, this is great, man. This is great. Ravens will be fine. He wasn't gonna play much anyway, but just having that depth, having that depth, whenever you lose a guy, you lose another depth player. We had so much depth at corner at the beginning of the year cause you know, cornerback is where all of our pieces fall every single year. We had Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carr, Tavon Young, Maurice Kennedy, Darius Webb, Anthony Levine. Who knows if Jaylen Hill would've made the team had not one of those guys went down. Marlon Humphrey. So we had all these guys, but then, uh-oh, Tavon Young, ACL, done. Maurice Kennedy, I forgot what his injury was, done. So we just kept losing guy after guy. And he say, Ravens is still out there. If worse came to worse, man, you never know, man. You never know. If worse came to worse. But the, oh, who was Ravens starting running back? It's Terrence West. It's Terrence West. I appreciate you, Sean, for answering that question for him. He said they have more depth right now than they did the past decade. Well, it's, we have scary depth though. We have scary depth. Oh, y'all make sure y'all leave a like on the video too, man. It's 14 people in here, but only five likes. But with our depth, we have, who are starters? Our starters are Jimmy Smith and, our starters are Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr. Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr. Now think about that. Jimmy Smith, when the last time this dude played a hole 16, man. When the last time this dude played a hole 16. This guy, he just, he's always getting hurt, man. I love Jimmy Smith. He is a beast of a corner, but he's always getting hurt. He's always getting hurt. And he, we rely on him so much that when he gets hurt, it's like all, it just everything falls apart. Everything falls apart. I know Brandon Carr is the most durable safe.  But Daddy Chris, there ain't no cursing on here, buddy. Please don't get blocked. This team keep it clean. All the comments gotta be kept clean. No cursing at all. No, Jimmy's not out. It's Jalen Hill, his hamstring. So it's like we rely so much on Jimmy Smith. So then when he goes down, it's like a lot of stuff just falls apart completely. And we can only get so far without Jimmy Smith, without Jimmy Smith, and we've seen that before. We've seen it in the playoffs. Remember when we played the Patriots a couple of years ago in the playoffs and we were up 14 and then they caught up.  And it was cause of poor cornerback play. We just did not have depth in a secondary. Remember last year, we played the Patriots on Monday Night Football. The game that should have been a blowout, but it ended up being close thanks to NFL. Appreciate you. It's all good, man. But we played the Patriots last year and in that game, Jimmy Smith got hurt. What happened? We went out, we beat the Eagles barely and barely, barely, barely, barely. If not for CJ Mosley tipping the ball at the end of the game, we lose. We probably deserved to lose that game, honestly, I think so. But then in the Steelers game, it showed. We missed Jimmy Smith, man. We missed him. We missed him. We missed him. We didn't have the guy to cover Antonio Brown and shut him down and it was just bad. It was just bad. And of course, hardball did what hardball always does. Oh, is Jimmy Smith gonna be gone for the year? Oh, well, he's weak to weak. Whenever hardball says somebody is weak to weak, they're gonna be gone for a long time. But anyway, point being is that we need Jimmy Smith. If he doesn't stay healthy, the stuff falls apart. This is gonna be Brandon Carl, Marlon Humphrey. We just need our team to stay healthy. That's it. We need them to stay healthy. And of course, we know stuff happens. Stuff happens all the time. That's obvious. That's a given, especially being a Ravens fan. We all know that stuff happens. But hopefully no more stuff happens. So big shout out to Jaylen Hill. I look forward to seeing him when he does come back. I look forward to seeing what he's gonna do. It's like with him, it's a bittersweet thing because I would like to see him get a chance, but I don't wanna see him get a chance because if he gets a chance, that means that we got a lot of people hurt in the front of the depth chart, on the top of the depth chart. Y'all get what I'm saying? Because if we see Jaylen Hill in the game, that means that somebody's gonna be out. Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carl, Humphrey. Somebody's gonna be out if Jaylen Smith is in the game. I mean Jaylen Hill, excuse me. So hopefully we don't have to see him too much. Anyway, appreciate y'all. No, I'm talking about corner. I'm talking about corner, corner, corner. Not safeties. I'm talking about corners. He says so true about the week to week. It is true. Anytime hardball says that you know somebody, they're gonna be out for a long time. Yeah, Seahawks always do good, man. Seahawks will be just fine. We need four, we need four corners for AJ Green. That's something, man. He said, Tony Jefferson and Eric go to the best safety tandem. Let's see it happen first. I'm not calling him anything until I actually see it. I wanna see it work. Yeah, Joe Flacco is getting old. It's time to start playing him after him. Yeah, safety's definitely helped the cornerbacks, but I was talking, I'm speaking of depth at the cornerback position, not safety. I'm talking about cornerbacks. Yeah, like I said earlier, I think we'll still be fine for this game. I think we'll still be fine, but nobody can go down. Nobody can go down. And AJ, yes, AJ Green gives Jimmy Smith. He gives Ravens just a lot of trouble, but maybe Brandon cards the answer. Never know. Brandon card might just show out this Sunday. You never know. But yes, pass rush, you're right. Pass rush does definitely will help the corners with and save them. I don't know, but it will definitely help the whole secondary to help everybody if we get a good pass rush. And I know we can get a good pass rush because we got quality pass rushers. So AJ Green is, he has been a thorn in our side for the longest. He has been one of those pimples that you get right here, right in the middle of your forehead, right in this little T zone.  So you can't even pop it yet, but you just gotta wait for it and it just sits there and it annoys you like crazy and you can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about it. So hopefully AJ Green though, hopefully he won't be that pimple. Hopefully he won't be that pimple on Sunday and we can pop it and that'll be that. But anyway, they said John Ross is now upgraded to questionable, so he may still play. They said he practiced, so he may still play, so we'll see how that goes. But either way, either way, appreciate y'all man. Thank you, I just had to let y'all know about that since I just found out about it. Oh really, about like an hour ago maybe. Either way, it's all good man. Appreciate y'all, yeah like that. Not at the picnic that you can't get rid of, that's true. He said green can't be stopped but you can only try to contain him, that's true. If he plays, I think we lose AJ Green or John Ross. I don't think so, really for either one. Really for either one. Because John Ross, I mean we'll see what he does. I don't know how he plays, I don't know how he is, so we'll see. Humphrey on Ross will be nice to see. We'll see man, we'll see. But all right y'all, real quick. If Ravens can score more than 17 points, I think the Ravens have a good chance of beating the bingles. I'll be shocked if they score more than that. Man, if they can score, if the offense can just play great. If the offense can beat, they don't even have to play great. They just gotta be decent. If they can be decent, we'll be in great shape man. We'll be in great shape. Oh they still have Lafayle, they doing? I didn't realize. Whoever covering Ross have a safety over. We'll see man. Anyway, appreciate y'all man, thank you. I don't know if Ross is on special teams. I don't know. Oh he say Ravens 20 bingles 17. That dope boy, okay we'll see man. Don't sleep on Ty Lifer too. Yeah, I don't sleep on any of these bingles. Cause I know what they do to us, especially in Cincinnati. They've been killing us there for the longest. Even though the game a couple years ago should've been a win for us.  With Georgia Loco completely flopped on Steve Smith Sr. And they called offensive pass interference, it's just bad. Look up that game, look up Steve Smith Sr. offensive pass interference on Georgia Loco bingles. Ravens bingles, look up that game. We don't have Peter, Peter's gone. He's been released. Yeah, Macklin, hopefully they do ball out. Him, Perry man, just Michael, hopefully they do man. We got a lot of speed at wide receiver. But hopefully they show it and they make plays. Anyway, appreciate y'all man, thank you. And I'm out man, I'll see y'all in the next video.


The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Roddy McDowell, George Brent, and Rita Johnson in My Friend Flickr. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Among the grown-ups of this world, there's usually something less than perfect understanding. But between boys and horses, there's a deep and abiding sympathy that leaves no room for bickering. Not a word is spoken, but there's a miracle of communication and a lump of sugar, a pat on the head or a nuzzle cheek. I had a horse when I was a boy, so when I heard what my friend Flickr was about, I knew I'd like it. But I was not prepared for the deep emotional experience which the 20th Century Fox picture gives to all who see it. Billy McDowell's fine performance as the boy, and Mary O'Hara's great story fit perfectly together. And tonight, we've brought back an old favorite of yours, George Brent, as Roddy's father, with Rita Johnson from the picture cast as his mother. This drama has the power of simplicity, as the story of a boy on a ranch and the outlaw horse who is his friend. Together they meet the joys and the pathos of their simple life, a life perhaps we all may envy. I believe it plays like this, which have given the Lux Radio Theatre its reputation through the years and earned the loyalty which you have given to this theater and to Lux Toilet though. You know, it takes about 40 people to bring one of these plays to the microphone in addition to the actors. There are the engineers, writers, musicians, sound technicians, stage hands, script girls, play readers, research experts, and just plain handymen, like me. All these people work all week so that you can have this hour of entertainment on Monday night, and you've certainly done your part magnificently. You've given us many excellent suggestions, and we've given you a double feature, a fine play and a fine product, Lux Toilet, so. And here's the fine play right now, as the curtain goes up on the first act of my friend Flickr, starring Roddy McDowell as Ken, George Brent as Rob, and Rita Johnson as Nell. Around the lower meadow they flash, the brood mayors of the goose bar ranch, and their new foals, around and around again, there's the great stallion, Banner, his proud mane flung out in the wind, and there's his lady, Rocket, her eyes rimmed with white as her graceful body sweeps through the high grass. And there are the foals running close beside their mothers, running because they're so new to the world and so happy to be in it, and because the morning sky is clear, and the spring wind is fresh with the smell of pines from the mountains. Yes, this is the family of the stallion, Banner. This is the lifeblood of the ranch. Now toward the ranch house comes another horse. This one wears a saddle, but no rider. He runs free, his bridle whipping about his head. Look. What now, Eldy? Look, Papa, here comes the cigarette, but there's nobody on him. See this, Ken? Oh, boy! Here, boy! Oh, there! Oh, oh! That's the boy. Easy, boy. Easy. Good. Yeah, boss. What's the matter? Is that cigarette? Yeah, boss. She come back alone. Ken riding her? He was, but he ain't now. Eldy, keep quiet. Yes, Papa. Dog gone that kid. Look at this bridle. Snapped in half. Hope Ken's all right. Boss. He's used to it. Well, there's always a chance of getting hurt. Saddle short. I'll better go see. Yeah, boss. Oh, wait a minute. Never mind, Gus. Here he comes now. He's lipping. I bet he hurt his leg. Ken? Yes, sir? Come here. Yes, dad? You all right? Sure, I'm all right. Just get my knee a little. The cigarette taught you again? Yes, sir. That you did your heels in her belly again? I didn't. Did you, son? Yes, sir. Good heavens, Ken. Aren't you ever going to grow up? How many times have I told you not to tap your heels into her? And look at that bridal. The second one you've broken this week. I'm sorry, dad. Oh, Ken, did you find the saddle blanket? What saddle blanket? This one. I lost it out in the rain just the afternoon. I was looking for it this morning. Road with a saddle, I suppose, and forgot to cinch it properly. Yes, sir. Gee whiz. Look, it's all cored. Will you keep quiet, Hilda? It got cored on some five-way baddens.  Dad! Never mind the excuses.  I'll call that horse out and come up to the house. Yes, dad. Any mail this morning? Right over there. Where's Ken? Oh, he's coming. Cigarette tossed him again.  Doesn't seem to pay any attention to what I tell him. Always losing equipment or breaking it or spoiling it somehow. Oh, he's still at charge. Well, he's old enough to have his wits about him.  Andry doesn't trip over his feet. Morning, Mom. Come on, darling. He drove me a while to talk. Now, look at that. Rob, what is this? Ken's report card. Well, Ken, I suppose it won't surprise you to know that you haven't been promoted. No, sir. And here. Maybe you'd like to see your mark. Oh, let him eat his breakfast first. Just as a matter of curiosity, Ken, how do you go about getting a zero in English? 40 in history, 17 in arithmetic, but a zero. Just as one man to another. What goes on in your head? Well, haven't you got anything to say for yourself? Nothing, sir. Well, what were you doing in that English exam? What were the questions you missed? You were supposed to write a composition. Couldn't you think of anything? Yes, I had it all planned. I was going to write the story of how you lost your polo mare. How that wild albino came down from the meadow one year and stole it from Banner. And then how she came back. And her foal that year was white. Yeah, albino blood. And how it was passed on every year. Then how Rocket was born. And she was so beautiful in everything that she could never be broken, because that wild blood was in her. I was going to write all that. Well, why didn't you? I got to thinking. I thought we had time. I thought we had just begun when the school bell rang. So you never even got started? No, sir. Not a single word, Kim? No, ma'am. Just daydreaming, huh? No, Dad. I was thinking about... About what? About my colt. Your colt? You haven't even got a colt. Oh, Dad, give me a colt. Will you please? You'll get a colt when you learn how to treat one. You're going to buck up, young man. Trouble is, you don't try. I do try, Dad. Well, I don't see any proof of it. Well, meantime, you'll spend an hour a day studying all the rest of the summer to make up your work. Come in. Good morning, Mrs. Oh, good morning, Dad. Well, boys, what's for the day? Good day to move the horses, Gus. Yeah, yeah, it's the time they were off the middle. There's a storm cooking up in the south west. Can I help, Dad? I've got to get four of the older horses in shape for the rodeo. That means foolproof. Those three-year-olds have to be broken. Can't let them go any longer. Can I help move them this year, Dad? Great guns, no. Tough enough to move 100 horses, precious blazes after a winter out without a kid tagging along to make them nervous. Right on, Gus. Yeah, boys. Don't you want another cup of coffee, dear? No, I've had enough. Gotta get started. Pancakes, Kim? No, thank you. Oh, Kenny, you can ride any horse we've got on the ranch. Why, you're so set on having a coat. Oh, Mother, it isn't just riding. I want a coat to be friends with me. If I had one, I'd make it the most wonderful horse in the world. I'd feed it so to be greater than any other horse on the ranch and the fastest. I'd school it so it would follow me around wherever I went, like a dog. You see, Mother, I want a coat of my own. All my own. Well, you'd better go up and start your studying, Kim. Get it over with, hmm? You're not going. I'm going to watch Dad bring in the horses. All right. We can take the short cut and eat them halfway coming back. Oh, no, no. You'd better stay here. It's going to be tough enough to bring in 100 horses, all of them as precious blazes after a winter out without having a girl tagging along to make them nervous. I'm coming. Those horses ain't scared of me. Well, go on, Hilda. You'd better go back. I can come if I want. My father's the foreman. Well, my father's the owner of that ranch and that's self. Well, my father's the foreman and I can come if I want. Oh, all right. Oh, Rocket. Keep rockin' in the middle of the bunch, Tim. Don't let her cut out. Kill, kill, Rocket. You better get back to the edge of that rock. You'll slip off and slide down in the meadow. I won't slip. Look, Hilda, see that big, black stallion? That's a bannock. That one's Rocket. Right in the middle. Gee, she's beautiful. Isn't she beautiful? You better get back. That's all. Look, do you see how Banner handles them? They have to do what he wants, all right? Or he nips them. See, even there's one of them to come out and run, but he may to get that. He's trying to look out. Come here. What were you doing down here anyway? I... So you have to fall down the hill and start him into a stampede. I... I didn't mean to do it, Dad. I didn't mean to scare him. You didn't mean... You never mean anything, do you?  Now you're post-mattitude. You'll catch it when you get home or that. Oh, go away, Hilly. Ain't you comin'? I'll... I'll be up later. But you shouldn't be here. She must have come down from home's pasture. Jesus, look at her. Isn't she beautiful? Almost a white mane. That's the albino blood. But she's like Banner, too. She's got Banner's head in. Can't she run like Banner? Like the wind. Oh, Jesus. If I could ever have a coat like that. Dance for the night. I'm out on my feet. How's the man steering, Earl? Oh, so-so, I guess. Are we on the downgrade? Well, I never had so many bills and less money to pay them with. I don't seem to be able to sell the horses at a profit. But they're good horses with good blood. Mm-hmm. All but that albino strain. And they've got a crazy streak in them. No use trying to sell them. I wouldn't even get back the cost of raising them at the price anybody'd offer. I'd rather shoot them. I would, too, if they weren't the dog gone fast. You know, I always hoped to just get one decent coat out of that bunch. Well, let's go to bed. Rob. Mm-hmm? Give Santa a coat. That's the stunt he pulled this morning? And you know he didn't mean to. Well, he doesn't deserve a coat. Aren't you ever going to give him one? Sure, I've been expecting to. Maybe if he pays attention to his studies this summer. By the way, did he study today? Well, he exposed himself to his work. Yeah, I know. Nothing I say makes any impression. Well, don't you see, he set his heart on having a coat of his own. And he can't think of another thing. But that's all backwards. You don't bribe children to do their duty. It's not a bribe, Rob. Oh, no. What would you call it? Well, I just have a feeling that Kenny isn't going to pull anything off. And it's time he did. Maybe a little thing like this would turn the trick. That isn't a little thing. That isn't easy to break in a school of hope. I'm not going to have one of my good horses spoil, but that boy's careless. Rob, it's important. You've got to succeed at something. What he needs... What he needs is to snap out of it. Well, if you want to put it that way. What I was going to say is, he needs to grow up a little bit. When Howell having his own colt make him grow up, how would you know? Something of his own. Responsibility. He'd have something real and flesh and blood that he cared about more than all those things he goes knowing about. Well... Wait. Don't go. Now, I... I'd like to give him a colt. I'd like to get closer to the boy somehow. But every time I get all set for a get-together session with him, he... Well, he hands me a facer like I think he pulled the day. Rob, didn't you ever want anything more than anything else in the world? Yes. Just one thing. And I have it. You now. Oh. You do understand. You do. Don't. Ed. Morning. Morning, Kenny. Sit down. Oh, Gus was in, Rob. Hmm? He tells me Rocky broke away from the home pasture last night. He did. He told somebody. Well, there wasn't one with her yesterday. Now, I'll have to chase all over the range looking for her. I'll find you, Dad. All right. I'll go with you. By the way, son, I'm going to take back an order I gave you yesterday. You can forget that hour of study. Huh? Oh, thanks, Dad. You can. I'm going to give you a colt. A colt? A colt of my own? Mm-hmm. I'll give it to you, oh, a week from today. I'll give you time to look them all over and make your own choice. You mean I can have any colt on the range? Yes. A year? That's right. You're ready to leave in ten minutes. A colt of my own? Jesus. Maybe I can have the one I saw yesterday. Any sign of a Gus? Oh, Gus. You want me to ride over here and look for her, Dad? No. Stay with me. Ken, you may think it's funny my giving you a colt and what you deserve is a good hiding. Plunking all your exams and then pulling that stunt yesterday.  I haven't gone soft.  I expect just as much of you now as I ever did. This isn't any reward because you haven't won any reward. It's, uh, well, it's a partnership. One of these days I'm going to need your help. You have to be trained so you'll know how to give it. Every man needs training, Ken. This is it. I got mine at West Point. You're going to train a colt. I'll give you a little help just for first breaking. But you'll have to train it and it'll train you. Yes, sir.  Why, Dad, where will you be? Well, I may go back into the army any day now, son. You understand, don't you? Yes, sir. So I'm counting on you to make a good pony out of that colt and let it make a man out of you. Yes, sir. Rockets not here, boss. No colt here either. Well, I'm not surprised. I rode all over this grove yesterday and I'm sure I didn't leave any colts behind. Besides, if Rocket had a colt, she wouldn't have left it. Dad, I saw a colt in the meadow yesterday. It got separated from that bunch in the stampede. It was a beautiful, sorrow filly with a green mane and tail. Green mane? Sounds like that yearling of rockets. Rockets? Yeah. The filly sighed by banner last spring. That's what was the matter with Rocket last night. She missed the little filly and went back after her. Yes, if she did lose a colt, she'd very likely console herself with the yearling. She's the local of that rocket. Well, we should pick up a track around here. Hey, boss. Well? There is a track, all right. Well, it ain't a horse, see? Right there. That's a cat, boss. Yeah, that's a mountain lion, all right. Yeah, big one. Gee. We haven't had one of them around here for a long time. It's a good thing we got the brood mares out of here yesterday. Yeah, that's what happened. The cat got Rocket's colt. When, guys? Tracks not very fresh. Maybe two days old. Two days. Then it couldn't be. It couldn't be the one I saw yesterday, could it? No, of course not. You saw a yearling yesterday. Gus, we'd better keep an eye out for that cat. Yeah, boss. I go up around Casarok with a gun one day. There she is, Dad. There's Rocket. Yeah, that's the yearling with her, too. There they go. Look at that filly run, Dad. She's almost as fast as Rocket. She sure is.  Flicker? What does that mean, Gus?  Flicker. That's what I'll call her. My colt. Your colt? Yes, sir. That's the one I want. Rocket's filly? Yes, sir. Well, I certainly hope you'd make a wiser decision than that. You know how I feel about Rocket? That whole line of horses. But she's fast, Dad. They're the worst horses I've got. There's not one among them with any real sense. The mares are hedgins and the stadions are outlawed. They're untameable. Oh, Tamer. Nobody's ever been able to tame them.  Yes, sir. Well, you'll never make a friend of that filly. No, friends in the world will ever hold her. No. Better change your mind. No. I want her, Dad. Well, okay, Ken. I promise you could make your own choice. But remember, Rocket's local and 10-to-1, the colt is too. Dad, she may not be better than her father. All right, all right. It's up to you. We'll bring her in the next day. When I stopped by for her, I thought you might have something fast I could use. Well, I told you last fall about Rocket.  That she developed and outrun any animal you've ever seen. Oh, you're crazy. Wouldn't like to make a little bet on that, would you? Hello, Charlie. Well, hello there, now. No, no. Don't get out. Well, what are you two talking about? Rocket. You know, if I could get a mare that could really run without training. That's Rocket. She'd make a fortune for you if you could break her. I got a Bronco Buster who can break any horse that was ever fooled. Can he do it if she's worth breaking? She worked. How much do you want for her? Five hundred. You got a stopwatch? No, but I've got a speedometer. She's down the lower pasture. We could get her out on the road there and chase along after her in the car. We could flock her that way. All right. Come on. Well, what do you say, Charlie? Great. Guns. She's like a locomotive. Does she always run like that with her nose in the air? Yeah, she's a stargazer. Look at that speedometer. Thirty miles. Passed her, boss. Yeah. Right. Thirty-two. Thirty-three. She does 35-mile-bire. Thirty-four. Thirty-five. Jumping. Cheaper. Well, what do you say? It's a deal. If you deliver her to my reins, sounding wind and mim, but just how you're going to do that, Milady, is anybody's guess. You leave that to me. I'll have her in my truck this afternoon. Boss, get in there. Get in there. Be careful, Rob. Open the trailer door, Tim. She's coming through. All set. Get up, Rocket.  Watch it, boss. There she is. Close the gate. That's Rocket. All right, Tim. Don't move that trailer on the curves. Remember, Charlie expects her delivered in good shape, and don't skin her up. Okay, boss. All right. Get her out of here. Well, that's that, Mil. You mean that's $500? It'll come in mighty handy, won't it? I guess we can use it. $500 and Rocket off the ranch. Oh! Oh! Rob, she's hurt. Oh, look. Don't move that truck. Oh. Mom, what happened? What's that? Don't look, Kenny. It's Rocket. She was in the trailer, and then she reared up. Rocket. Go inside, dear. Take the trailer off there. I'll be right back to help you with it. Yeah, boss. Well, Rob? Ah, she's finished. She reared up. She hit her head on the gate down there. She's dead. Oh, poor Rocket. Well, there's one thing I can still do. I can get rid of every albino horse on the ranch, and I'm going to. You're going to sell them? To Williams. Williams? They're too good for Williams. Only buys horses, doesn't he? But he buys any kinder's horses, and he doesn't pay anything. Whatever he pays is good enough. Hello. Hello, Williams? This is Rob McLaughlin. Look, Williams, I've got a load of horses for you. Yeah, those albinos. Rockets hold tribe. All right. All right at your own price. Good. Yeah, there are nine of them. Uh, wait a minute. There may be 10. Ken? Come here. Yes, sir. I'm going to give you a chance to do a sensible thing. I want you to choose another colt and let me sell Flickr to Mr. Williams with the rest of those jedheads. For your sake, I'm asking you to do this as well as mine. Sell Flickr? What's the use of having another rocket on your hands to just see what happened to her? But I'm going to tame Flickr. If you can't, it's impossible. Sometimes bad horses get tamed. You don't want a local horse, do you? I want Flickr. Look at me. Dad, please. She's mine. You gave her to me. And she... I want her, Dad. I want Flickr. All right. Sorry to keep you waiting, Williams. I thought there was one more, but there are only nine. In a few minutes, Mr. DeMille and our stars George Brent, Roddy McDowell and Rita Johnson will return in act two of my friend Flickr. And now, let's try to catch up with a busy lady who has quite an unusual job. There it goes. The whistle, it means the end of the daytime shift at Central Aircraft. Miss Emery?  Mmm, two at the most. I've got a line of girls waiting for me. Miss Emery, did you ever think when you got your nurses' cap that someday you'd also be beauty advisor at a great airplane factory? Hardly, Mr. Kennedy, because no one ever thought a few years ago that beauty council and factory work would go together. But practical, hard-headed management has found that it pays. Well, tell us why, won't you? Well, to put it briefly, executives have been discovering that when spirits are high, work is good. Of course, every woman knows that when she looks for best, she's likely to be feeling her best, and so doing her best. That's why we urge the girls to take good care of their hands, their hair, and their skin. Even suggest bright male polish. It helps morale, you know. Yes, I can see that it would. What do you tell the girls about complexion care, Miss Emery? Well, we tell them there's no one thing that contributes more to a girl's good looks than a smooth, lovely skin. Do you make a practical suggestion? Yes, we stress regular care. No skipping beauty care at bedtime just because you're tired. A complexion care must be gentle, too. One you can depend on. Well, that sounds as though you were going to mention Lux's toilet soap any minute now. Well, it just happens that my own beauty care is Lux's toilet soap, Mr. Kennedy. I've used it for years. Well, I'm sure of one thing, Miss Emery. That gorgeous Lux complexion of yours must have quite an influence with the girls in backing up what you tell them. Well, thank you, Mr. Kennedy. As a matter of fact, Lux's toilet soap is a great favorite at the plant. So many of the girls find that regular, active, latter facials give them real beauty help. Thank you very much, Miss Emery. It's true that not only nine out of ten screen stars, but women everywhere, find that this famous white soap does give skin the gentle protecting care it ought to have. Now, here's a shopping suggestion. Lux's toilet soap, Hollywood's beauty soap, tomorrow. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Act two of my friend Flickr, starring George Brent as Rob, Roddy McDowell as Ken, and Rita Johnson as Nell. Flickr has lost the freedom of the pasture. She's learning now that to be a friend of man, she must admit to the flash of her rope around her neck and the high bars of the corral. Flickr's blood is out of the wild albino. A breeding of the open prairie land. Head her into the stable, Sam. Just stand by the door. She gets in voted after. Now, boss. The stable, Dad. Watch it, guys. Now, get that door closed. She's in, boss. Sure is so vile, one, boss. Come local, that's Billy. We'll leave her in there to think it over. Hey, she's pretty mad. She's around the side there. She's coming through the side window, boss. Get around there quick. There she goes, right through the glass. Flickr, Flickr, come back. Watch her on the barbed wire. Head her away if you can. Yeah, get back. She's going right for defense, boss. Now, if she doesn't seem like her mother, she'll go right through that wire. Yeah, hook up to her. She ran right into it. Come on, Gus. Oh, easy there. Easy. Whoa, whoa. Got your pliers, Tim? Yeah. Hold her leg there. Oh, girl, oh, girl. Hold it. Yes, she's all cut. She's bleeding. Snip that wire, Tim. Sure got her silver wrapped up in this. Oh, hurry, Tim. Please, hurry. She's doing the best she can. She's cut pretty bad, boss. I don't think she'll pull out of it. Well, maybe it's just as well. If I hadn't been this way, it would have been another. A local horse isn't worth a bullet to take to shoot it. Oh, Flickr. You heard what your mother said. But I thought maybe I could go down and see how she is. Your mother said to eat. Let him go to her, Rob. He can't do her any good. Just and Tim pulled her into the fence and put mentin on blue and her cut. She snaps out of it. She's got water and oats. Rob, let him go. All right, all right.  Go on.  I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted you to be mine. And that means you'd have to get to know me. That's why we brought you here, Flickr. So you could be friends. I'll stay here with you as much as I can. I'll come here every morning and every night. And every day after I finish my work and you will get well again. Oh, get well, Flickr. Please be all right. Please, Flickr. Half past ten. Guess I better head for Hague. Rob. Hmm? Rob, I wish it'd be a little nicer to him. Why? He's done against everything I've told him to do. Picking that wild albino. Insisting on keeping it. Crazy nag. Well, it's been hard on him, too. He's all broken up worrying about... Well, so am I. I'm burned up. And what's it all for? He's going to have a horse to train why didn't he pick a decent one? And I would have thought of something. Made a man of him. What can he do with this poor little Philly? Give him a little time, Rob. You'll just see all that he's changing. Can he learn? Learning what? He's set under a tree all day and moon over? No. He's learning to face facts. I haven't noticed him facing any facts. He will. He can just watch for it. Well, what's he such a chipper about this morning? Flickr. He'd better. Oh, coming along. Mm-hmm. He's almost well. He cuts through all the old evidence. He's reading like a horse. Mm-hmm. That's what... Oh. Flickr's going to have a pleasant summer after all. But she doesn't turn out to be another rocket. Oh, I hope not. We'll find that out when we put a holder on her. And what kind of matters is that? I'm sorry. Good morning, Mom. Morning, Dad. Morning, Ken. Coffee, Rob. Thanks. Ken, now that Flickr's better, I want you to remember that you have some other duties. Oh, yes, sir. You can give some of your time to your cold, but not all of your time. Oh, I won't, Dad. Oh, Dad. Mm-hmm. Could you come down and look at Flickr this morning and see how she is? Well, well, her Highness let you get near her. Well, not too close. She's still a little scared. But you'll let you look at her from the other side of the fence. That's big of her. Okay. We'll get down after breakfast and give her the ones over. Oh. Morning, Flickr. Now listen, Flickr. Dad's coming down to look at you, so be a good girl and don't run away, will you? Well, she does look good. Fine, Ken. Yes, sir. Cubs are all healed up, except for the one on the right front leg. And it's almost well. I think she's healed. Dad. Do you think she's local? I'd have sworn it, by the way, she's behaved ever since she was born. But we've never seen her except when she was scared out of her wits. Oh, every horse looks wild in the eye when it's terrified. She tried to go through that fence and she knew she shouldn't. Yes. Well, we'll forgive her that one. The point is, will she learn? Can she learn? And we... we've got to find that out, don't we? I mean, if she is local, maybe I'll never get her trained. Of course not. And there's no maybe about it.  Didn't you understand? What did you think local meant? Sort of goofy or wild or hard to handle. Oh, no. It's much more serious than that. There can be insanity among animals. And bad blood can carry it on. And that old boy no blood isn't safe for any filly to have. But you said maybe it's just because she's been scared. Well, that's right. We won't really know until we see how she responds to training. Dad, how can I train her? All you can do is try to win her confidence. You know, son, if you take everything away from a living creature, freedom, friends, it's home, habits and happiness, it'll turn in sheer need and desperation of the one thing that's left. In this case, that's you. Me? Yes. You're her whole life now. To make her like me. Oh, I will, Dad. I will. Give her love and companionship. And talk to her. Will she understand me? Of course. And a horse can tell you a lot of things, too. If you watch, and expect it to be sensible and smart, pay attention to all the little signs. The way it moves its body, the ears, the eyes and the winnies. That's its way of talking, too. That's right. There's the may of terror, the scream of rage, the winny of nervous impatience and the nicker of longing or hunger or friendliness. You learn its language and it'll learn yours. And never forget, horses understand everything you say to them. Everything, Dad? Everything. You mean... you mean if they're not local? Yes, Kim. I know you're hungry for your roads, but I'm hurrying as fast as I can. There. There you are. Come and get it. Good, isn't it, Flickr? Oh, Flickr, you do understand me, don't you?  You know, you've got a very smart father, Flickr, and you've got to forget all your wild ways and be just like him. What are you talking to? Flickr? Oh, part of Kim. Can people talk? Huh? Well, that's all you know. Flickr understands everything I say. And what's more, she talks back to me. Ah, prove. Well, maybe you don't know, but of course she's got a language all her own. There's the name of terror, the scream of rage, the whinny of nervous impatience, the nicker of longing. See, there's nicker of hunger. Hmm. Can. What? Can. Can you wiggle your ears? Oh, go away, Hildy. What's in your mind, Kim? You want to speak to me about something? Yes, Mom. Well? Did you ever want anything terribly? Well, if everyone wants something, dear.  You're married. You've got Dad and me. Why, you're finished. Then I shouldn't still be wanting, should I? But people do can. Everyone? Always, Mom? Don't you ever get really finished? I wonder. Maybe sometime. A minute or two.  Oh, Mom, I want Frigida to be all right. Not local. Oh, crap, she isn't local, dear. We don't know yet for sure. But if she is, Kim, wanting won't change. If she is, it'll look bad for her, won't it? Well, let's see what happens when we try to hold a breaker. Does she have to be a hold of her, Mom? We've got to find out, don't we? I suppose so. But look, what if she won't let us? She loves you, doesn't she? Oh, yes, I'm sure she does. Well, that shows she's intelligent. How does it, Mom? Well, it's just a way of putting away fear. Don't you understand, Kim? But if you find love, if a person or an animal finds love, it's the same as finding safety. It's comfort and friendliness and help. Everyone longs for it. And if Flick has found it, yet doesn't have sense enough to know she's found it and goes on being crazy and silly with fear, then she'd be local. Yes. Start getting the hay in the morrow, Gus. Sure, boss. Now I'm hiring some hands for the next week or so. They'll eat a lot. I'll be ready. Good. Hello, son. Dad, I've been thinking. Don't you think it's about time that... that we hold a broke flicker? What's that? I... I think we ought to find out now. You know what it means, Kim. Yes, I know. It... it'll prove whether or not she... whether I can have a trainer. I'll leave it to you, son. When do you want to try? Well, I thought... I thought today. All right. Call her over here, Kim. Yes, sir. Have your rope ready, Tim. Just in case. All set. Flicker! She's turning. Here she comes, Dad. See? Yeah. All right. Now put your bandana around her neck and tie it in a loose knot. Go ahead. Like this? That's it. Easy, Flicker. Easy. Now take your belt off and slip it through the bandana. That's it. Now take a hold of the belt and lead her around. Go on. Yes, Dad. Leave it. Come on, Flicker. Come on, girl. That's right, Flicker. Don't be nervous. You'll be all right. All right. Now bring her back. Yes, sir. This way, Flicker. That's the girl. Yes, Dad? Well, son, I'd call that hole to broken. But it isn't a hole to dead. Followed you, son. She walked along with you without fear. That's not. But how did you get hold of her, Dad? That's the way we break horses on the goose bar. You'll figure it out for yourself. Come on, Gus. Let's get out of those machines. Mom, did you see? She's not local. She's not local. Hello, Gus. Penny, I think maybe you'd better come to the pasture right away. What's the matter? Is it Flicker? Yeah. Her leg from the barbed wire. I think maybe she's got infection. Infection? Is it bad? She's lying down. I think maybe it is. Very bad. Wake up, Tim. We've got to get that hay in before tonight. OK, Mom. Rain in the air, boss. Yeah, going to storm. Dad. What, son? Dad, I'd like to talk to you. What about? Rep it, Tim. It's about Flicker. Flicker for the love of Mike. And can't you see I'm busy? This is no time to be worrying about that Philly. I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't know your... Just a moment. What is it, son? Is Flicker worse? Oh, Dad, she's so sick. Will you come down and see her? Maybe you can do something to help her. All right. I'll come and have a look at her. Keep it going here, Tim. Come on, Dad. There she is, Dad. She's lying down again. Oh, how lovely. What's happened to her? She's been getting awfully thin. Thin? Oh, I can count every rib. I'm afraid she ain't going to pull out of it, boss. Pull out of it? She's dead already. How long has she been like this? She's been going down fast the last few days. It's the fever. It's burning her up. She's going to die, Dad.  I'm afraid it's too late, Ken. We... We'll have to put her out of her misery. Dad, do you mean... Oh, no, Dad, we can't. We can't do that. I'm sorry, Ken. But it isn't fair to an animal to let it suffer like this. Look at it. She's burning up. Why? She can hardly breathe. Oh, listen. Gus, you know what to do. There's a gun in the shed. And pick a time when Ken is not around. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille presents Roddy McDowell, George Brent and Rita Johnson in Act 3 of My Friend Flicka. Now, here's Sally. And, uh, look at her little puzzle, too. Mr. Kennedy, I've got a letter here for my young cousin Joe in the Army, and... Well, I can't understand a word of this sentence. Read it, Sally. Maybe I can help you. He says, Within the lip line this week, Sally, I'm okay now, though. The doc slipped me some shutters and sent me packing for my snoresack. That's elementary, my dear Sally. It means Joe was at sick call. The doctor gave him some sleeping pills and sent him to bed. Anymore? Yes, he goes on to say, the eagle flew yesterday, which gives me enough pocket letters to go to town Sunday. I'll have to get flicked up with a chili bowl first and... Goodness, Mr. Kennedy, you'd better translate that. He means yesterday was payday, and so he has enough paper money to go to town. But first he has to get a haircut. Well, now at last I'm coming to something I can understand. He says, and say, when it comes to flicking up, that package of luck soap you sent me is okay. Boy, the latter is wonderful. A kind of man like. He might even have said, luck soap slicks a man up by the numbers. That's Army Talk 2, Sally, and it means with precision and efficiency. Sally, it looks as though that present of yours made a hit in any language. Well, Mr. Kennedy, I've always noticed that the men in our family enjoy using luck soap just as much as I do. Sure, Sally, why not? Men like a little luxury, too. A bath with that rich, creamy luck soap latter makes them ahead and feel like a million. Did you know, Mr. Kennedy, luck's toilet soap is the best seller in all branches of the service? Yes, Sally, and there are lots of good reasons for it. For one thing, luck's toilet soap costs so little, and being hard milled, it lasts such a long time. You can use it right down to the last thin sliver. But most important of all, men go for that rich, active latter that gets off the day's dust and grime with neatness and dispatch. Does it gently, too? Yep, Sally, as a soap for face and hands, and as a bath soap, too. Luck's has everything. Yes, and it's nice to know it's one of those little everyday luxuries we can all afford. Right, Sally. So here's our tip to women everywhere. Let all the family enjoy using this fine white soap. And remember, luck's toilet soap is hard milled. It lasts. And it's easy on your budget. Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille. After the play, we'll have a chat with our stars. And a surprise guest star. Now the third act of my friend Flickr, starring Roddy McDowell, George Brent, and Rita Johnson. In the morning, before Ken is awake, a rifle shot will bring an end to Flickr's suffering. Now in the quiet of the night, the boy steals silently from the house down to the pasture to whisper a last goodbye to his friend. But Flickr is not there. Then at last he finds her.  There's a spark of life still burning in her. All night the boy crouches beside her in the icy current.  In the morning, the boy is close to death in self. Well, doctor? Give him one of these pills every hour. I'll call to see him again tonight.  He's very sick, Rob. What happened to him? He went down to see his coat last night and she was lying in the scene. Got sound in there this morning. We don't know how long. Perhaps all night. I see. Well, you'd better have this prescription filled right away. I'll take you into town and bring it right back. Come on. Don't worry, darling. You'll be all right. Hurry, Rob. Please. Oh, I think so, too. Oh, little fella. Garth, is Flicka dead? No, Mrs. Him and me, he fixed her up in a blanket sling. She can't stand alone. But she'd thank a buck of the water like a good one. Good. Did Rob say you didn't have to shoot it? No, Mrs. But I just couldn't do it. When I found him like that this morning, I felt him a little boy I knew about. I know. I know what you mean. She's got plenty strength yet. She could live, maybe. She could? Sometimes I think dark miracles can still happen. It was the cold water washing the fever out of her. But it was more than that. It was Ken, given her courage. All night, that little fella sitting by her and saying, hold on, Flicka. I'm here, Richard. The two of us together. Storm coming up, Mrs. Big one. I'll stay here, I guess. Maybe you need me. Thank you, sir. You never get here. I made it as fast as I could. Road washed out. I had to go the long way. How is he? He seems a little better. He's domestic. Oh, good. Here's the medicine. I'll give it to him out of the way. Well, Gus, did you do as I told you? Boss, I just couldn't. Oh, I gave the order. You had plenty of time. I couldn't do it. Where's the rifle? I left it in the bunker. Go and get it. I'll do it myself. Oh, Rob, please don't. Ken knows she's alive. He thinks she'll get well. Even something to hope for. It would have been a lot better if that poor little fella was shot weeks ago. Nothing but trouble and misery for all of us. Look what it's done to Ken. I wish you wouldn't, Rob. He didn't know. He'll hear the shot. And the storm will think it's thunder. No! No, he'll know it's the rifle. Sorry, Mel.  It's all right, darling. It's all right. Well, you're just seeming dear. Mom? I'm here, Gary. I'm old-hooded, darling. Slick has been out in thunderstorms all of her life. Wasn't he on? Yes, he's home. And then, when he went out again, down to the pasture. Oh, Ken. I know she's so sick. Be kinder now, Adam. He mustn't let the suffer. Maybe she'll get better. It could happen, Ken. What you said? It was something you wanted. What was it? I've wanted it ever since a few years after you were born. What was it, Mom? It was a little girl, Ken. Oh, we wanted the same thing. Didn't we? How do you mean, darling? You know what? Little girl would be the sweetest. Slicker. Little slicker. Oh, Ken. Ken, dear. No, darling. It was a shot. No, it was thunder. It was thunder, Ken. Sleep and gush is rhythm. I got worried about you. Was that flicker? It was a shot. It was the mountain lion. I took a crack at him. Did you get him? No, but I will before morning. But quite about flicker. You said you were going to... I know, I know. But I couldn't do it.  She'll have to do it by herself. Ken heard the shot. Yeah. How'd he take it? Well, he took it. Oh, but Rob, that... She may have been dead by morning. Wouldn't surprise me. He's accepted her death now.  I won't tell him. You better get along up at the house. If that cat's still around, I don't want you wandering around in the dark. Are you going to stay here? Let's fill it tight up like that. The cat will probably come back. Can't leave it. I can see his eyes, Rob. Quiet. If we move, he'll spring. All right. I've got a sight on him now. Easy flicker, easy girl. That cat won't bother you now. Well, young fella, how's it feel to be out again? Fine, dad. He's still a little techy in the legs, Rob. We have to stop and sit down a minute. Here you go, young fella. I'll carry you for a while. Thanks, dad. We'll walk. Where are we going? Oh, I thought we'd take a look down the home pasture. I've got the yearlings in there again. Oh, the yearlings. Sure. Still want a coat, don't you? Well, you can pick one out. Anyone on the ranch. Dad, I don't want to pick one out now. Why, kid? Please, not now. There they are. Some beauties in that pack, Ken. Oh, please, dad, look, Ken. Look at that pretty little girl. She's white. Mommy's like Flickr. It is Flickr. But, my Lord... I didn't shoot her. I couldn't. That shot was for the mountain lion. I killed it. Oh, Flickr. Flickr's your friend. Easy, Ken. Flickr, here she comes. Oh, dad, look. She knows me. Hello, Flickr. Oh, Flickr. She did get gentle, didn't she, dad? She's given us a lot of trouble, son. She's taught us a few things, too. Important things. You responsibility. And me, that there is such a thing as hope, beyond hope. And sometimes, when things are at their lowest end, all we need to do is have a little more love, a little more patience, and a little more faith. Dad, does she know what we're saying now? I think so. And now she's asking if she can run again. Go on, Flickr. Run, Flickr! The curtain falls on my friend Flickr. And our very good friends George Brent, Roddy McDowell, and Rita Johnson answer your applause with a well-earned curtain call. Thank you, CB. And I'd just like to say that Roddy is the biggest trooper for his size I've ever seen. What's your ambition, Roddy? Well, Miss Johnson, it looks some day to be the checkered champion of Hollywood. That's a pretty big ambition. Thank you, Megan. Oh, I'd practice any time I can find a pigeon. Oh, I mean a partner. I'd play with my dad before he went to see with the merchants. Keep it up. Competition is good for the solo, Roddy. Yes, sir. Sometimes it's good for the longs, too. Before him, his father went in the Navy. He and I used to see who could hold his breath for the longs. You can find the score on the wall of his old dressing room. What the winner did? It's Sunday, Miss Johnson. I'd like to buy you one of my special sundae sometimes. I'd love it, Roddy. What's in it? Well, you know those pumps they have in a soda fountain? With a chocolate and raspberry and other stuff in it. Oh. Well, you take out a dish of ice cream and you put a squirt out of each pump on it. Then you hold your breath for a good long time. It sounds a little complicated, Roddy.  I think that's why I'm so fond of lots of soap. You see, it's very easy complexion here. It doesn't take much time, and that's important when you're busy. Well, next soap is made for girls who are both beautiful and busy readers. And believe me, things are going to be beautifully busy around this microphone next week. What's the place, A.B.? It's Philip Barry's sensational hit, The Philadelphia Story. A two-time hit, first on Broadway during a long run and later, as a Metro-Golden mayor picture. And our stars will be...  It's one of next week's stars, Robert Taylor. Hello, everyone. You've held back the most important part of the news, C.B. I guess Bob means the rest of our cast. We'll have three stars in The Philadelphia Story next week. Robert Taylor, Loretta Young, and Robert Young. Yes. Bob Young and I are both delighted at the opportunity of working with Loretta. I think we're going to have a swell time here next week. As lucky for us, we caught you all during a week off from pictures. What's your latest over Metro-Golden Mayor, Bob? It's called Batan, C.B., and there are a lot of great fellows in it. George Murphy, Tommy Mitchell, Lloyd Nolan, Lee Bowman, Desi Arnaz, and the very promising newcomer named Bob Walker. The story's about an incident in the Philippine campaign that involves 13 men and not a single woman. No women? That's a novelty for pictures. The word Batan will always stand for something very noble in American history. So I'm anxious to see what the picture's like. Incidentally, Bob, how much longer will you be in Hollywood? Just a short time, C.B., I have one picture to finish which won't take long. And then, ladies and gentlemen, Bob enters the Navy Air Corps. We wanted to have him here just once more before he left. That will be next Monday night when we present Robert Taylor, Loretta Young, and Robert Young in the Philadelphia story. Glad to be aboard, C.B., and I'm expecting a great show, Bob. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good night, Bob. Good night, Bob. Good night, Bob. We hope you're fine. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux-Taylor Soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night. From the Lux Radio Theatre presents Robert Taylor, Loretta Young, and Robert Young in the Philadelphia story. And that will be the man who's saying good night to you from Hollywood. Heard in tonight's play where Leo Cleary is Gus, Mary Lou Harrington is Hildy, Fred Mackay is Tim, Norman Field is Mr. Sargent, and Charles Seal is the Doctor. Our music was directed by Louis Silver. And this is your announcer, John M. Kennedy, reminding you to tune in next Monday night to hear Robert Taylor, Loretta Young, and Robert Young in the Philadelphia story. Food rationing and shortages don't worry me. I make sure my family gets enough vitamins and minerals. I just buy VIMS and add them to my family's meals. You see, VIMS are scientifically designed to help make meals complete. Right. For VIMS give you all the essential vitamins and all minerals commonly lacking. They're pleasant to take, too. Children love them. Ask for VIMS at your drocket. You can buy for vitamins, double MS for minerals. VIMS. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
