Everybody better get out of the way.  Let's dive in. One thing, and I hate, I'm categorized as a motivational speaker.  Now is it necessary? Is it needed? Yes. Is it built up too much? Absolutely. 100%. Let me tell you why. So often I get messages from people like, sir, I'm not motivated. Help me become more motivated. What do I need to do to be more motivated? How can I be more motivated to create the life that I want to? I get that message probably on Instagram and Facebook 20 times a day between the two of them. And my answer is always the same.  You're not searching for motivation. What you're searching for is drive. So let me explain. Now, Jim Rohn, who's basically the godfather of personal development and motivation says that motivation is like a shower. We recommend that you do both every single day.  What do I mean by become motivated? Well, read a book that inspires you. Listen to a podcast that inspires you and motivates you. Listen to somebody on YouTube and watch some YouTube tops that are going to give you motivation. What I'm saying to you is you have to get motivation. Motivation is like a spark. So if I'm trying to start a fire, motivation can start that fire, but it doesn't keep the fire going. The spark will start it, but it won't keep the fire going. How do you keep the fire going? Drive. So if we're saying that motivation is a spark, then drive, drive, that's like the big dry log that you put on and it burns the entire night. You've done it before. You've gone camping, right?  That's what you're trying to create in your life. You're not trying to create motivation. You need motivation, but motivation is nothing compared to drive. Nothing compared to drive. Drive keeps you going. Motivation just kind of gets you off the couch a little bit. So what's the difference between the two of them? Well, if somebody's motivated, you can be motivated for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, but a driven person, you know a driven person when you see a driven person. You know what I'm talking about. You can see it in their eyes. They're almost a little bit crazy in their eyes, right? You can hear it in their voice. There's just a little bit extra. There's that passion. There's that drive where it's like you get the sense by looking in their eyes, by hearing them talk, by seeing their body language that nothing will stop them from what they're trying to get to. That is what you're searching for in this world. You're not searching for the spark. You're searching for the log, the drive, the thing that keeps you going no matter what.  And you can tell that she's either going to find her children or she's going to die trying to find her children. That is drive. She is driven to this one thing. And it's almost like she doesn't even have to work towards it. With drive, you don't have to work towards it. You're almost being, you're not forcing yourself to do it. You're being pulled towards that thing.  I got to force myself and it's force, force, force, force. Drive is like I'm being pulled to this thing that I want and nothing is going to stop me. I'm either going to get it or I'm going to try, I'm going to die trying to get that thing. That is the difference between drive and motivation. So what you're searching for is drive, something to be driven by. So now the immediate question that comes up is how do you find that why? How do you become so driven? You have to figure out exactly what your why is behind it. So it's beautiful to have goals. Everybody should have goals. But very few people hit their goals. Why? Because their goals are just things they're shooting for. What they don't have behind the goal is why they're trying to get to that goal. That is the most important part. My very first mentor when I was 19 years old used to say, if the why is strong enough, the how will reveal itself. Let me say that again. If the why, behind what it is you're trying to do is strong enough, the how, how you're going to do it will reveal itself. When someone's driven, they don't care about the why. They don't care about the process. If you're a process driven person, it's really hard for you to start because you're thinking about all of the things that you need to do before you start. You're not driven towards it.  You'll figure it out along the way.  That's the difference between the two. And that's why it's so important to have the strong why. So let's talk about how to find your why. Because if you're trying to become driven, how do you become driven? You get your why behind what it is that you're doing. So how do you find your why? You have to look at your goals and you have to say, why do I want this? Why do I want this? Why do I want this? There's a process called the seven levels of why where you go through and ask yourself why, why, why, why, why? And you get deeper and deeper and deeper into why it is that you're searching for what you're searching for and why you're trying to get to whatever it is that you're trying to get to. And you figure it out. I'll give you a couple of examples of people who I can tell you their goal right now and then I can tell you their why. And you can see how somebody can go from I'm motivated to do this to I'm driven to do this. So years and years ago, one of my very first coaching clients that I had, his goal, he was he wanted to make $100,000 for the year. I was like, cool, that's great. Why do you want to make that $100,000? He's like, oh, well, I want to make $100,000 because I've never made $100,000 before. I was like, cool, why? Why do you want to get it though? Oh, I want to get it because I think it helped you know help me with my financial stability. It'd be nice to be out of debt. Okay, why? Tell me why you want to make that money? And I kept going, why, why, why, why, why? He's like, well, I want to be able to provide my family. Okay, why? Well, because I've never been able to provide for my family. Why?  And it went from I want to make $100,000 this year to I want to make $100,000 this year. We started uncovering all of the things of the real reasons why he's going towards what he's going for. And what we were able to uncover is amazing. And this is what it is. He want to make $100,000 when we first started because he had never done it before. Then it turned into he want to make $100,000 because he did not have custody of his children. He was divorced and he wanted custody of his children, but he didn't make enough money to have custody of his children. So his children lived with his ex-wife and lived in a bad part of town. In living in a bad part of town, he actually was able to uncover this subconscious fear under everything realizing that his biggest fear was that his daughter would be pregnant by 13 and his son would be killed in a drive-by if he was, if he kept them in the place that he was in living with his ex-wife because she didn't live in a good part of town. So now we went from I want to make $100,000 to a year to I have to make $100,000 this year because I want to basically save my daughter and my son's lives. I need to get them out of where they are. I need to be able to afford a house, a down payment on a house in a better part of town and regain custody of my children because I want to make sure that I change their lives because if they stay where they are, even if she doesn't get pregnant, even if he doesn't die, he knew that where part of town they were in, their lives would be completely different if he were able to take them out of that part of town and put them in a better part of town, get them a better education. Get them to get into college, send them to college. His making $100,000, he realized could completely change the trajectory of his children's life. Do you think he became motivated and driven at that point? Hell yeah. It wasn't like, oh, I got to motivate myself to get up at five o'clock in the morning anymore. It was he was up at five o'clock in the morning because his children's lives depended on it. That is what drive looks like. That is what finding your why behind the goal looks like. Let me give you another example. If you go way back probably about five years, I interviewed Jeff Hoffman on this podcast and Jeff Hoffman is the founder. He's a billionaire. He founded priceline.com and we were talking about how he motivated his, in his first company where he became a millionaire, how he motivated his salespeople. We were talking about the psychology of motivating people, how to get people driven, all of this stuff and he had somebody who came into his office as one of his sales reps and he would do this every single year. He'd say, hey, what's your goal for the year? And they start talking about it. This guy sat down and he wanted to make $100,000 for the year because that's usually most people's goal if they've never done it. He wanted to make $100,000 for the year. He said, okay, why do you want to make $100,000? And went deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. And what he ended up coming down to was that he wanted, he lived in New York at the time, but he was from Florida and his mom had lived in an apartment her entire life. So his mom immigrated from Puerto Rico.  And so she lived in apartments his entire life. And now this guy that's sitting down, Jeff Hoffman, he lives in New York. And he goes, I want to make $100,000. And he goes, why, why, why, why, why, why do they get really deep into it? And he ends up finding out the reason why he wants to make the $100,000 is because he wants to get his mom a house in Florida. And so Jeff said, perfect, what I want you to do.  You should know this. That's where the true leaders should do at all times if you're a leader.   So he comes back at the end of the day and he says, Jeff, this is the picture of the house and he shows him that house and he said, okay, perfect. Let's go back to your desk.  And so he said, every time that he walked by, he didn't have to say, Hey, John, let's say the guy's name is John. Hey, John, how are you doing today? How much money you made today? How much closer you to $100,000? You go up to him and he'll say, John, how much closer you to getting that house for your mom? Because that is what would truly drive him. It wasn't just $100,000. Of course, that will drive people. You can be driven to make money, but the drive is to find out the why behind the reason. What is that money going to do for you, for your family, for the people around you? You have to realize that one of the important things to do is if you're searching for your why, is maybe see that your why might not even be attached to you in any sort of way. Maybe your why as to why you want to hit your goal. Your why is why you want to succeed or whatever it is that you want. Maybe your why has nothing to do with you. Maybe it has something to do with someone outside of you. And a lot of times where you really get your drive from is for other people. Right? So if I were, if you were to say, Hey, these are my goals right now, let's say, okay, tell me how these goals are going to affect your children. Tell me how you hitting this goal is going to affect your child's life. Tell me how you not hitting this goal is going to affect your child's life. And I'm going to fast forward the next year or two years with you and see what it would look like if you hit that goal or see what it'll look like if you didn't hit that goal and see what your children's life would look like if you hit that goal. See what your children's life will look like if you didn't hit that goal. Right? Now you might be either saying, yeah, that's great and all, but I don't have any kids. Okay. Well, is there some way that you can figure out what your purpose is and attach it to someone outside of you? If you were to make the money that you want to, how would that affect the world? How would that affect your parents lives? Would you be able to buy them a house that you want to? Would you be able to buy them the car that you want to? Would you be able to retire your parents? Would you be able to, you know, be financially secure so that no one in your family ever has to worry about money again? Would you be happier, which would make everybody else happier? How can you take the goals that you have on a piece of paper and figure out how those goals will drive you? What behind that goal, the why will drive you to go and hit it. Because of course you can always set a goal by just saying, Hey, this is my goal and you can try to motivate yourself and you can wake up early and listen to this podcast and other people's podcasts. You can watch videos, you can read books, you can get mentorship, but ultimately what you're really searching for is not the motivation to do something. What you're searching for is the pure drive in obsession of I will not fail. I'm going to get this no matter what. There is no other option. I'm burning the boats. There is no plan B because it distracts from plan A. This is what I'm going to do and absolutely nothing is going to hold me back from it. That's what you're searching for. So you're going to be finding out your goals, then you're going to find out your why behind the goal. And what you're going to try to do is if you aren't motivated by the why that you find, ask yourself, is there something outside of you that you could attach it to? Is there somebody outside of you that you could attach it to? If you don't have any kids, you don't have any close family members, how would you hitting your goal impact the world, impact your community, impact the people around you? What would you be able to do? Maybe if you had enough money, be able to donate more money, donate more time, help the people around you, put more time into the food banks or maybe be able to donate more food to the food banks, something. There's always something back there, but the difference is you have to find the purpose of what you're working towards. I always say, people hear me say it all the time and I teach coaches how to grow businesses and I always say, you got to find your purpose as to why you're a coach because you're either on self or on purpose. On self means that you're thinking about yourself. On purpose means that you're thinking about the purpose as to why you're going for what you're going for. So you might say, I don't but Rob, I don't know what my purpose is. That's the problem. If you've been listening to my podcast long enough, I always say this, it's okay not to know what your purpose is. That's okay, but it's not okay to not be in constant search for your purpose if you don't know what it is at this point. It's okay not to know what your purpose is, but it's not okay to not be in constant search for that purpose. Your job is to find your purpose. If you don't know what your purpose on earth is, your job is to find out what your purpose is and it's usually right under your nose. Usually it's so obvious that you miss it, but if you don't know what it is, here's what you do. Wake up every single day. Ask God, the universe, source, whatever it is that you do or don't believe in, just say, I want to know my purpose and say it every single day. Today, I want to find my purpose. Today, I want to find my purpose. Today, I want to find my purpose. Can you please tell me what my purpose is? Say it over and over and over and over and over again. You might not find your purpose tomorrow. You might not find your purpose in a week, two weeks, three weeks, six months, a year, two years. You might find it two years down the road. You might have to ask yourself five, six, seven hundred times, I want to know what my purpose is. Can you please show me my purpose? But if you ask yourself over and over and over and over and over again, I guarantee at some point in time, your purpose will come through. You will find what it is. But if you're not looking for it, you're not going to find it. So, motivation is good.  If you want to be pulled towards your goals, if you want to be pulled towards the best version of yourself, if you want to be pulled towards doing something amazing in this world, you're searching for drive. You're searching for something that you can put all of your eggs in one basket for. You're searching for that thing that you go, yep, this is the reason why I'm breathing and I am willing to die for that thing. And when you find that, everybody better get out of the way because there's absolutely no stopping you when you find what that thing is. So, motivation sucks compared to drive. Drive is what you're searching for. Find your purpose and you'll find what to be driven towards. Or death. There is no other option. There isn't. Just don't stop.


Hello, my name is Debbie Fierst and I'll be your instructor for this course. I've been in the technology industry for more than 20 years and through that time I've built thousands of documents in Microsoft Word. I've also taught many students and I look forward to teaching you. In this lesson, collaborating on documents, we'll learn how to modify user information, how to share a document, how to compare document changes, review a document, merge document changes, review track changes, and we'll also learn how to co-author documents. In this topic, we're going to modify user information. We'll look at the document panel. Associated with every document you create in Microsoft Word can be a variety of pieces of data that we call metadata. This is essentially ancillary or extra data that you provide about the document to help with searching and with documentation purposes. To show this document panel at the top of your Microsoft Word screen, you go under File, Info, and to the right you'll see an area called Properties. In that area you can select to show this document panel. The panel displays at the top of your document and allows you to enter in this metadata. You can create a title, a subject, some keywords, a category, who the author of the document is, and when you're done you can just hit the X to close the document panel.


Daughter wakes up with bruises, dad sets up camera. A couple in Ohia could never have prepared themselves for what would happen inside their house. In the middle of the night, when they were sleeping, disturbing noises could be heard. They have never thought too much of them, but something happened to change their minds. Darren's suspicions first fell on his girlfriend, accusing her as pulling a prank on him. She denied it and for them to finally figure things out, they set up a camera. But the disturbing footage would shake their world. Darren decided enough was enough and put a camera in their daughter's bedroom. Marks had been appearing up and down his daughter, Natalie's legs and he didn't know what was causing them. His wife, Pam, said that she didn't have any idea either. He let the camera record to gather the evidence. Now, he was ready to take a look at what was really going on. But what he saw had him lost for words. For a year, the family of three had been living in Darren's mother's guesthouse. But what they would find would make them want to leave immediately. The symptoms started appearing when young Natalie would come down for breakfast and Darren would see bruises on her legs. He didn't think too much of it at first. Kids bump and bruise themselves all the time. But when new sets of bruises would appear where the last ones healed, he knew something was very wrong. It's only natural to worry about your children, any parent will tell you that. Darren cared a lot for his daughter and only wanted what was best for her well-being. Natalie had always struggled with her parents' separation. Darren always felt guilty about what effects it had on her development. When Darren first started getting serious with Pam, he knew he wouldn't forget about his daughter. Darren looked after the needs of his daughter very closely, and because of it, the two had a very close bond. But Natalie began changing when Darren met Pam and she moved in with them. Darren was always open with Natalie and told her she could tell him anything. But throughout the year, she had become quieter, a lot quieter. Darren assumed it was because of her growing up and getting into her teenage years. But things only kept escalating. As time went on with Pam living with them, Darren noticed that the life was being sucked out of his daughter. He didn't understand why, he was worried that she spent too much time locked up in her room by herself. Darren was worried about her being sucked into social media. He had heard stories about that kind of stuff. But little did he know her social media pages were the least of his worries. Darren decided to ask Natalie about her change in behavior. She told him that she didn't like the way other rooms in the house felt. Darren didn't want to interfere with her life too much and felt confident that she would tell him if there were any problems. But he'd learned to regret that decision. Then he noticed something that had sirens blaring in his mind. Natalie was now on summer break and with temperatures climbing well above 90 degrees she started wearing clothes that revealed her legs. Darren immediately noticed the marks on her legs and asked her about it. She just looked down at her feet and said that she had woken up with him. Darren felt a bad feeling that just wouldn't go away. Anyone looking at the family from the outside would probably say that things were perfect. Darren and Pam were happy and he had a great daughter, Natalie. But everything changed abruptly one day. Darren was woken up in the middle of the night by disturbing sounds. Natalie herself would eventually be the proof that would solve this mystery once and for all. Darren looked at his girlfriend and asked her if she was the one in Natalie's room at night and if she had anything to do with the marks that had appeared on her legs. Pam was surprised to hear that Darren was asking her something this serious. She denied everything and Darren knew what he had to do. His decision would lead to a discovery that would shake his world. This was not the life Darren signed up for when he chose to be with Pamphlet. He knew that she and her stepdaughter had never really seen eye to eye, but why wasn't she as concerned as he was? Or was he just being paranoid? Natalie was a model student and never went out to party like the other kids her age. She wasn't interested in sports and preferred to curl up with a book and read her summer vacations away. And she wasn't dating. So where did the bruises keep coming from? As the weeks went by, every morning Darren would see more bruises appear on Natalie's legs. What was she doing in the night to receive these marks? And Natalie kept denying that she knew how she'd gotten them. What exactly was happening to his little girl? The worried dad had hundreds of questions running through his mind. But one thing was for sure, Darren knew something just wasn't right. And the marks weren't the only odd thing about Natalie, now, she never seemed to get enough sleep. She'd go to bed at 8 PM, exhausted, and only re-emerge from her bedroom at lunchtime the following day. She would pick at her food and hardly eat anything at dinner time, and snap at Darren's most innocent questions when he showed concern. It was like Natalie was a different person. Darren was beginning to worry about Natalie's health. Perhaps she had some sort of medical condition? Now Pam, who just shrugged everything off, also began to appear concerned. Armed with determination and driven by worry, Darren took Natalie to the doctor in hopes of finding out the truth. But what the doctor told him only left him with more questions. You see, Natalie didn't appear to have anything wrong with her. There was nothing strange or worrying about her results. The doctor checked her blood levels, but couldn't find any deficiencies. Although Darren was relieved to hear that his daughter was healthy, this news meant that the cause of his daughter's bruises could be something far more sinister. And just when he was reaching his wit's end, there was a knock on the door.  She tersely introduced herself and informed him that she was from social services. When Darren managed to wrap his head around what the woman was there for, he was in complete shock. This couldn't have something to do with Pam, could it? The woman who introduced herself as Mrs Wood said that she was there to investigate a possible situation involving young Natalie and her parents she had been made aware of Natalie's inexplicable marks by their family doctor. Darren's mind began to race, he hadn't done anything. He'd never, ever lay a hand on his child. But unfortunately for him, there was no way he could prove otherwise. Mrs Wood would simply have to speak to Natalie herself. Mrs Wood introduced herself to Pam and Natalie and then entered the girl's bedroom, making sure to lock the door behind her. Pam shot Darren a look. What's the meaning of this, she asked furiously. But before Darren could explain, she'd already stormed off. Darren paced nervously in the hallway, while the social worker spoke with Natalie in private, wondering what would happen next. Surely she wouldn't get much more out of his daughter than he had? Would Natalie finally tell the truth? After what seemed like hours, Mrs Wood finally emerged from the bedroom with Natalie by her side, and she was in tears. With a mixture of anger, sadness, and frustration, Darren gritted his teeth and politely asked the social worker if there was anything else he could do for her. He was furious by the insinuations this woman was throwing around, and now she'd made his daughter cry. But the burning question on his mind was, what exactly had Natalie told her? Mrs Wood told Darren that she'd be in touch and showed herself out while Darren tried to comfort Natalie. I told her what I told you dad, she sobbed. Every morning I wake up with marks, and I don't know how they got there. He'd taken her to the doctor, and they'd run blood tests. He'd asked her what was going on directly. He had even accused his girlfriend. Darren was at a loss and becoming more desperate by the minute. Something just wasn't adding up here. He vowed that he'd find out what it was. But did he really want to know the answer? Things had become tense between Darren and Pam since the accusations were hurled, and he was determined to get to the bottom of everything, for Natalie and his relationship with Pam's sake. So they all decided to set up a camera in Natalie's room to find out what had been happening, once and for all. The CCTV revealed the truth, but neither of them was ready for the discovery. Darren set up the CCTV with a mission, to find out who was responsible for the bruises on his daughter. Darren had been so convinced that it was Pam because nobody else lived there. He made sure that whoever had been doing this would be exposed, even going as far as purchasing a night vision camera. He was hellbent on putting a stop to everything. When he finally saw the perpetrator on the video, he never thought that their life would soon become a nightmare. Darren could feel his heartbeat in his throat. At first, it was just Natalie lying peacefully in her bed, her hands still cradling the book she'd been reading when she had fallen asleep. 30 minutes passed and nothing looked out of the ordinary. Then suddenly, Darren saw something on the footage and his jaw came unhinged. This had to be some kind of joke. Suddenly, Natalie seemed to wake up, but she didn't look like herself at all. He continued watching the rest of the footage to find out more. But what he saw next challenged his theories and shook his beliefs. You see, in the footage, it showed a peaceful Natalie sleeping in her bed. But 30 minutes in, and Natalie appeared to be crawling on her back.  He blinked, thinking he was seeing things on the footage, but he wasn't. This was real. Natalie thrashed in her bed the movements she made looked weird and unnatural. What was going on? As soon as Darren saw this, he knew something was very wrong. Darren frantically yelled for Pam and showed her the footage, and she was equally astonished and horrified. They had no idea that this had been going on. What had happened to their little girl? They finally had the answers as to where her daughter's marks were coming from, but after watching the footage they were left with even more questions. Darren ran to Natalie's room, but everything was normal again. She didn't remember what had happened last night at all. The worried parents rushed bewildered Natalie back to the doctor. They showed him the footage and he was dumbfounded he'd never seen anything like it before. Darren's mind immediately flew to horror movies about demonic possession that he'd seen. It was crazy, but what else was he supposed to think? What was wrong with his daughter? Their GP referred Natalie to a specialist who ran a battery of tests on her. He conducted a thorough neurological exam and ordered a full polysomnogram with an EEG to measure the electrical activity in her brain. He ruled out a tumor and had trauma. So, what was causing Natalie's strange nighttime behavior? The specialist found some abnormal brain activity on the EEG that seemed to be coming from Natalie's temporal lobe, which indicated that Natalie could be suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy. It was reasonable to assume that this was causing her to have nocturnal episodes or seizures. According to the research, there are many different types of seizures. But most nocturnal seizures are tonic-clonic. Doctors used to call tonic-clonic seizures grand mal seizures. They typically last less than five minutes. During this type of seizure, muscles stiffen in twitch which explains what Darren had seen on the footage. Natalie was prescribed anti-seizure medication and has made a full recovery. But Darren still had the house cleansed by a priest, just in case.


I'd like to introduce now the participants for the first match, young lady we met earlier, Tam Shriver, right number six in the world, and her partner will be Secretary of State George Schultz, and they'll be taking on the star of stage three in the film, Dean Merrill, and tennis great Stan Smith, and all the sneakers now, and we assume they'll be ready to play. You hit the on-deck batter. I slipped on the mound, it was a muddy field, I slipped and hit the on-deck batter. That's a true story. They would like you to start practicing serves now, take a few serves, and we'll get ready to go. The people, we have a bar mitzvah in here at 5.15, so we have to clear the court. The team of Shriver and Schultz will be serving. This is where we jump in with the witty contract. Yeah, you really got it going too. It's really flowing. Mr. T took all my material. 15-0. 15-0, Glenn. That was out, Tom. Good call. Call, oh. The fourth of it. I thought you were supposed to feed me all those lines that we talked about. Nice shot. Yes! Yes! Good shot! Good shot! A lot of English on that ball. 40-15. That's game. Shriver and Schultz lead one game to none. That's game, Stan. Four points. No add. Guess I told him, didn't I? Looks fine to me. Nice shot, Dino. 15-0. 15-0. Let's see if he cranks it up here, ladies and gentlemen. That's the fake serve that we've been looking for. Another fake serve. Still in play. She's there. Good effort. 30-0. That's game. Now tied up at one game apiece. Love 15. Oh. Love 30. 15-30. 30. Way to come back. I think Mr. Schultz has been working on his serve since last year. You notice how I distracted you in the middle of the point? I got big money on the secretary. Yeah, I talked to some people before the match. That's game. Shriver and Schultz lead two games to one. 15. Nice shot. Love 30. See, notice how she pretended she really didn't mean it. That's game. Shriver and Schultz win another. Me and the game. Pam is distracted by the Washington Monument. The other monument, she said. Let's lose that monument. Someone, please. Yeah. 15-love. Good point. One of the few places you can yell at the secretary of state and get away. Nice shot. Nice shot. 30-love. 30-love. 40-love. Got no hitter working, Pam. Long. That's game. Shriver and Schultz. They're turning it into a route stand. Four games to one. It's okay. I've seen Dina with her back against the wall before. That didn't sound right. I'm sorry. How am I doing, T? Oh, okay. T. What a point. Point of the day. 15-30. 30-all. Yeah. Oh, new balls. Are you supposed to announce that? Tis a poor craftsman who blames his tools. Remember that? No, that's 30-40. 15-love. With a chance to tie. Nice shot. Nice shot. Well placed. 15-all. Don't push it, Pam. If it gets to that, can we play a tie? No. No. Quit begging, Stan. Okay? You interrupted play. That's why I was interrupted. Six-five. Point. Right, Pam? No. Either way, it's kind of coming down to the wire. A. Glenn. Yes. Game set. Match. Shriver and Schultz. They're the winners. Good match. Well, Tom, we made it through another tournament. Stephanie, thank you very much for being up here. Tom, we made it through another one. Yes, we did. This is two. Congratulations. Thank you. No fines. Excellent play. Excellent sports. Well, Tom. They're probably going to bring a mic out on the middle of the court, aren't they? I think there's a mic on its way out here any moment. Oh, I know. I get it now. Let's see. Try it again. You missed that meeting, Tom. But anyway, why don't you go out there and talk to that mic? Oh, good. Good. Be careful getting down. No more tendon injuries. I missed it. I just like to thank all the participants, all you real supportive spectators. And in particular, I like to thank our corporate sponsors because their contributions are a real successful endeavor. And now having done all my duties, I'm going to go find my favorite dancing partner. Thank you. How about having that for a favorite dancing partner? Not bad, huh? Well, I'd like to thank you too for coming to the second annual White House Tennis Tournament. I'm sure you all know how much it means to me, not only to me, but to thousands and thousands of parents and children all over for your participation in what you're doing. So I do thank you from the bottom of my heart. I, as Tom said, I especially want to thank the sponsors and the players without whom none of this would have been possible. And now, and also I'd like to thank Tom and Glenn and Stephanie. Stephanie, you'll come back again, won't you? Okay. But I'd like to ask some of my friends to come forward to accept the gifts for their programs. First, I'd like to call up Tom Adams of the Just Say No Clubs. And the members of the Washington Chapter that are with us today. I'm sure you all know what a wonderful job they're doing. We had a great big successful walk against drugs just two days ago. The White House and all over was just fabulous. So I have a check for you for $50,000. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mrs. Reagan. Mrs. Reagan inspired the Just Say No to drugs movement. Now we have clubs in every state in the union. This week, kids in more than 500 communities walked against drugs and held rallies in places such as the White House, the Rose Bowl, Yankee Stadium, and many others. Mrs. Reagan is leaving a legacy for our young people, a legacy of hope and love and strength. And I think her Christmas wish and this legacy, I pledge to you through this foundation that we will reach every child in America. Thank you. And next, I'd like to ask Steve Harlan and his wife, Joanne, to come forward. Steve represents the board of a very new program called The Washington Fund for the Prevention of Substance Abuse. This project is a combined effort of the public and private sectors to combat drug abuse in the Washington metropolitan area. So I'm pleased to present this check to you for $50,000. And I wish you the best of luck. Thank you very, very, very much. I, too, would like to pledge to you, Mrs. Reagan, that this money is going to be very, very well spent in this area. We've got a lot to do and we're going to have a lot of effort to put a strong public-private partnership together to make it work. So thank you very, very much. So now my really heartfelt thanks to all of you again. And I hope you'll be back next year when we'll have another one. Okay? And now after we have our class picture here, I'd like to ask you to come inside for some refreshments. Thank you again very much. Will all the participants in today's match please come down on court side for, as Mrs. Reagan said, a class picture. And everyone else please remain seated while this photo is being taken.

Enzo, how are you doing? Enzo smiles. When do you think America's addiction to war will Will ever end? If ever. It will end Unfortunately, we have to make sure it doesn't end When it's the Empire is completely collapsed Because do we really want to go there? Do we you know the Empire should Give up trying to become an Empire right and we can see the Empire here. This is one thing actually I Thought it would be a good idea to do. This is one thing. I thought it would be a good idea to do Let's go through for the last 40 years To find out how many countries in the world The United States has been involved in militarily Specifically not we're not talking about CIA crews Financial terrorism sanctions anything we're talking about for the last 40 years. Let's say since 1980 since we're talking about Since 1980 so 42 years 43 years Let's see how many countries the United States has specifically Bombed versus how many countries that Russia has bombed And if you guys want we could do a collective how many countries Europe and the United States have bombed versus how many countries Russia and China have bombed Right, we could do this If you guys want to do it, we can do it with big colors that way it stands out So not only are we getting a micro field country-specific What's going on and we still have work to do We have a macro field where region-wise and specifically historical wise, so we're going to look at it as a Timeline right in the last 40 years cumulative, I guess not this is this is a snapshot of Today present. It's a point Right. This is a point on a graph, right? This is why Mathematics is ridiculously important, right? So if this is whatever the function is right if this is time Usually you put time here on the x-axis if this is time. This would be conflict Right war let's say because as far as I'm concerned if any Any government is bombing another in the country country is bombing another country. I don't care if it's a missile or what not That country has waged war on the other country, right? so timeline war and we're going to switch it up different colors of USA versus Russia right If you want and we're going to put we'll put What colors I got I got too big which colors do we want do we want to do this? Let me read this Let me read this


Coming up on DTNS discord pivots away from gaming an algorithm to make you more polite and 3d print your fake meat This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday, June 30th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio Redwood I'm Sarah Lane and from the rainy forests of Finland. I'm Patrick Beja I am not in the forest and I'm the shows producer Roger Chang We were just talking about messaging and how Difficult it is sometimes because everybody wants to be messaged in a different way If you want to get that conversation get our expanded show good day internet become a member at patreon.com DTNS let's start with a few tech things you should know Users of Airtel, Vodafone and other Indian service providers report that they are unable to access tiktok ISPs said that they had not blocked tiktok But that the app itself had shut down access in the country India's Department of Telecommunications has ordered ISPs to block tiktok With immediate effect the company has also gone from app stores Although other Chinese apps ordered removed by the Indian government remain available Suggesting that tiktok itself pulled the app the governments of India and China are in a dispute over border conflicts in the Himalayas Amazon announced it will bring the game crucible back into closed beta at 12 Eastern on July 1st Those who joined before they can I'm sorry those who joined before then can play in in steam But there will be scheduled sessions with developers joining for feedback Qualcomm announced two new wear OS processors today the snapdragon wear 4100 and the always-on 4100 Plus Qualcomm promises 85 percent faster speed than the previous generation two and a half times faster GPU performance and faster memory First watches with the chips will arrive in the coming months Google confirmed it has acquired Canadian smart glasses company North the North staff will work on Google's ambient computing future North's focals 2.0 has been canceled and support for focals 1.0 will end on July 31st All North customers will be refunded the full amount of focals purchases You may see benchmarks for the new ARM based Apple Silicon floating around Mac rumors reports they seem to be coming from benchmarking software run on developer transition kits containing a variant of the A12z chip found in iPads This is not expected to be the chips the chip used in Macs other things to note If you look at these benchmarks the benchmarking software seems to be running in emulation And while the A12z in the iPad has eight cores the benchmark shows only four cores The black innovation alliance launched Tuesday The BIA will work with organizations like black and brown founders founders of color black female founders HBC you dot VC and more to create a system to support black entrepreneurs startup founders and creative technologists BIA plans to build a streamlined infrastructure for black entrepreneurs to go from ideas to revenue to exit BIA co-creator Ania Williams welcomes VC interests telling TechCrunch We've just built this table and you can have a seat at it if you step correct The New York Times sources say uber is in talks to buy post mates Ubers food delivery arm uber eats has the second largest market share in the US after Dora-dash That's according to research firm Edison Trends uber previously was in talks to buy grubhub Which you might recall ended up being bought by just eat takeaway instead TechCrunch's sources say that regulatory concerns kept uber from getting grubhub Although publicly executives have said that just eat was just the better deal However, it's worth noting that post mates is smaller than grubhub and combined uber eats and post mates would still be smaller than door dash Android's nearby sharing feature to let users share files between Android devices quickly easily and wirelessly much like apples and airdrop feature is now rolling out as a Play services beta Android police tested nearby share and notes It works for photos and videos and other shareable content like tweets and URLs and fitness apparel company Lululemon announced plans to acquire home exercise startup mirror mirrors the one that offers live and on-demand exercise classes through a wall-mounted Mirror Lululemon hopes to close the sale by the end of September Mirror will continue to run as a standalone company within Lululemon. All right. Let's talk about Amazon's new little video feature Amazon Prime video is launching watch party which will let up to a hundred Prime subscribers view film and TV together once over the internet together at once over the internet The feature is rolling out to US users in the browser though. It is not supported by Apple's safari Amazon says thousands of titles will be eligible to watch party and all subscribers will be able to host and participate I Continue to be skeptical that this is the sort of thing that will catch on but certainly While a lot of people are staying home Whether mandated or not people are just staying home more This is a chance for for folks to get together and watch things over the internet It is a feature that came to twitch already prime. You could watch prime video stuff on twitch With your audience, but this allows you to not have to use twitch this and there's no streaming video of you involved You just host it and then everybody shows up in a chat room and it shows up on the right I mean you guys into this sort of watch party thing I keep waiting for it to catch on. I you know, I have a lot of friends who don't live anywhere near me We're never gonna get into the same living room together. So this is perfect and you know We talk about watching stuff all the time That said the whole you know that watch party stuff and and a lot of platforms offer this now It it doesn't really work because yeah, you know, everybody's busy and time zones and the whole thing Like I want this to be a thing more than it is a thing Although I feel like company after company keeps adding it as like hey, you can do this now with your friends It's gonna be really fun because you're all stuck at home It is definitely something that should work in theory but ends up never Actually working out and there's no real reason for it other than people just don't do it You could totally say That time that day we all get together and we watch it as if we would if we were Going to each other's places and it's just you know It's just not the same and even if people do it once it seems they don't do it again So maybe this will finally be the thing that starts it But I also I'm a little bit wary of the Thousands of titles that sounds like a lot But I'm betting that the one title you do want to watch with everyone is not available in that list Yeah, when you're talking about a service that has hundreds of thousands of titles It's not that big of a percentage and just for completeness. There is an extension called Netflix watch party out there It's not part of Netflix, but it does work with Netflix and HBO is has contracted a company to develop this for them So we're we're gonna see more of this Well speaking of having lots of users Facebook told Axios that it will rank Original English language reporting higher in the news feed and rank lower stories that aren't transparent about who wrote those stories That would mean that either there's no byline or in some cases No listing of editorial staff at all an algorithm will analyze stories to identify which one was cited most often as the original source Well, the news feed still only shows stories from outlets followed by you or your friends Within that pool the original story is intended to show up higher Facebook hopes to apply the feature to non-English stories in the future Patrick what do you think? Thank you for that one It's no I think it it makes sense obviously you're always gonna have examples of Articles or cases where you might not want to apply the algorithm in that way, but I think in general one of the signals to have reliable information would be knowing who wrote it who's behind it and not having that kind of information is kind of a hint that Maybe don't trust it as much as you would something else. It doesn't mean, you know, don't use it at all maybe but Not trusting it as much ranking it a little bit lower seems like a reasonable approach to this issue You know when I first Came across the story this morning. My my initial reaction was like oh, it's tech meme for Facebook Because it's you know your the idea is to pinpoint. Okay, where the story originate is it from a reliable source? You know other outlets, you know took hold, but it kind of comes back to this one But that's not actually the way anybody who's familiar with tech meme That's not totally the way that tech meme works because it does rely on human curators To figure out not only who was first but who has sort of the best story the best version of this that is you know You know it has the best information, you know, but the then that other outlets have have taken hold of so I mean I'm all for this that you know the more that people kind of understand how news is disseminated and you know how it might show up in their news feed all the better But but focusing on AI Completely at this point and I know it's sort of a limited rollout. It sort of remains to be seen how good it is Oh, what are you talking about? Facebook relying entirely on algorithms have never stood them wrong in the past Yeah, I was trying to be kind No, I think this is a good thing. It's not gonna fix everything obviously It's probably not even gonna fix most things that people criticize Facebook about but it will help improve The ability to find out well who broke the story? Where did the story originate when that's a thing like you say sometimes it's just a press release and everybody wrote it up And there isn't a source other than I guess the press release. Maybe that'll bubble up I don't know how they're gonna choose these sources. I will point out that the economist doesn't use by lines That is a long tradition going back into the 19th century for them They used to even try to hide the columnists identities They don't really try to do that any day these days the columnists actually host podcasts now So it's clear who they are but they still don't put by lines on their stories So that's why you see them say or editorial staff because the economist is perfectly trustworthy And they'll they'll tell you who their staff is on their editorial staff page So it's interesting the little quirks to this that an algorithm may or not may or not be able to handle without some human touch Who wants an 8 terabyte drive me I do yes me too Because Samsung wants to sell us one in its announcement of the new 870 QVO solid-state drives coming June 30th Samsung announced an 8 terabyte model will arrive in August They didn't give us a price, but an Amazon page spotted by Tom's hardware earlier this month marked it at $900 coming August 24th. So that may have been placeholder data. Maybe the real data the 870 series is Two and a half inch say to drives Samsung says they're 13% faster than the last generation 560 megabytes per second read speed 530 megabytes per second write speed and You can get one that stores eight terabytes that they have smaller ones, too But why would you care about those Samsung says it can handle two thousand eight hundred eighty terabytes of transfer through its lifetime Which is I think the highest consumer Rating of any drive they have it's not the first eight terabyte SSD but it's the first consumer marketed one the first one that you'll have an easy time getting just through your normal sources Well, I mean as as you know somebody who does a lot of post-production work and the files are big I have lots of external drives Usually they're one or two terabytes and they kind of run somewhere from 80 to a hundred bucks each So to have eight terabytes at a time for just under a thousand dollars would come in handy You know, I don't have like a pressing need for it right the second But you know if you're doing a lot of stuff where you got to back up a lot of data Um, I mean it's so convenient to have one drive rather than eight. Yeah, I mean Yeah, yeah, I think Price-wise it's not that crazy. I would have expected it to be maybe a little bit higher than that. So All right, let's talk about printing meat Israeli startup red fine meat announced it will launch 3d printers to produce plant Alt-stakes that taste similar to beef the startup claims 3d printing helps mimic the structure of real muscle redefine meat will I said red fine. It's actually redefine Meat will market the 3d printed stakes to high-end restaurants this year next year It will roll out into industrial printers to meet distributors capable of printing 20 kilograms an hour at a lower cost than real meat I love this story. I don't know what it is about it that just captured my imagination but the fact that it's it's 3d printers that it's gonna bring This kind of plant-based meat down to a lower cost Than real meat which would increase adoption That it's it's going to maybe improve the texture and that's what their claim is We'll wait and see but maybe improve the texture because they'll be able to mimic that structure Of actual muscle that goes into meat. I feel like this is a real tech story There's been a lot of like trying to get the the plant-based meat into technology and they showed up at CES But it's like oh now we have 3d printers printing it. I just wish these things were healthier I mean, they are arguably healthier than real meat But they have a lot of oil in them and arguably how are they healthier than real meat because you don't have the cholesterol content You know, you know, you know There's a there's a few advantages to them But there's not as many advantages as actually just switching to a plant-based diet, right? Yeah, I mean the whole idea, you know, if you eat a lot of red meat. Yeah, I mean That's an issue if you can 3d print some all meat that you know gives you the taste without the cholesterol That's awesome.  It's I was talking specifically about nutritional, but you're right There is also an ecological benefit as well. Yeah But you know the big thing maybe I missed a couple of episodes and the alt meat saga, but isn't Ground beef is, you know burgers are relatively common nowadays. This is actual steak, right? Yeah So this is something that is I don't think I've seen stories about Marketed coming to market steaks before maybe I missed some of them That's a good question because what I see usually is Is the Beyond Meat burgers I do believe they have some steaks. I just don't think they're very good Again because they don't have again. That's the thing. Yeah, it's like is it is it technically, you know comparable Yes, is it good that That's the only way that people are going to adopt this kind of thing is if it's good Which to be fair this one might also not be good I guess we don't know but but burgers have come to to a point where they're a Decent alternative even to people who just like, you know, maybe they're not Adores of burgers, but I like a good burger and I've eaten more than one That was that was absolutely fine that I'm happy to eat So if that happens with the 3d printing technology that manages to create the texture of the muscle That would be pretty good Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University developed a politeness transfer engine to automatically make north american english written communication more polite By workplace standards the engine is similar to those used on images to convert from one style to another like Making a photo of you would look like a 16th century painting for example The politeness engine was trained on a data set of half a million emails from nron employees made public as part of legal proceedings applications could Include customer service chat bots or autosuggesting text in email Support for the research was provided by apple and vidya the nsf the air force research laboratory and the office of naval research I Yes, we do Because first of all politeness is uh, uh, uh great Characteristic of everything, but it's not just you know for having fun on a a a test project it can be used as Potentially of course chat bots are a great use for that, but I can absolutely imagine the same way Program helps you with your grammar. Maybe it could help you with your politeness. Uh, that would improve The nuance and tone is so difficult to uh to to to Transmit through written text I think that would be very helpful if it actually works and could improve communication online communication as a whole Yeah, we in a uh an upcoming episode of work in sanity hosted by myself and patrick masia We had a question from a listener about how to keep the tone in your email Right and this would be the kind of tool you could use for that if this was out there to say like Hey, look this over algorithm And let me know where I could improve the politeness of of what i'm writing It sounds silly, but we so often in written communication think one thing and people receiving the communication Read another and just having a third party check that Is a is a great way to reduce misunderstanding I wonder if this could be used on social media. That's Why not? Here's hoping Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com Discord posted tuesday that it will shift its focus from video game communication to broader community creation In practice, this means they've got a streamlined setup experience Some updated templates to make it easier to set up a discord server stuff like that just just a little less geeky For broader appeal discord also said it will have fewer jokes within the app that reference games Then i get rid of all of them, but you know not everybody gets all the jokes So they're gonna broaden out the jokes to it. That's one of the things I like about discord is their sense of humor And discord says it will quote continue to take decisive action against white supremacists racist and others who seek to use Discord for evil So there's a whole safety center they've set up that they're going to keep working on to to help people feel like They can keep themselves safe in discord discord's new tagline is now your place to talk Discord usage since the beginning of the year has risen 50 in the us doubled in france and spain and tripled in italy This is a really interesting one, you know discord has started To be being used in as they're saying many different fields and areas way beyond gaming i've personally had Reports from people who are telling me in france They're using it for classroom work or they were during the the lockdown and of course when you think of collaboration tools for Communities or companies discord and slack i think are the two that have been in the past few years taking the entire space Of course, there are upcoming others But discord and slack are very similar and in the case of slack their insistence of on On making revenue which they achieve by inciting people to pay for the service and for additional features has kind of let i think Given discord a little bit more more space to attract people with additional features getting back to the thing about schools One teacher was explaining to me that they were very simply labeling voice channels in discord, which you don't have for In slack if you unless you pay for stuff Voice channels in discord as classrooms, you know, they would give classroom numbers and students would go from one classroom to another Through the classroom number as their classes, you know, their schedule would move through the day And these it's just one example, but I really think that discord has had this User growth mentality that is a little bit Early 2000 social network or early 2010s social networks and user growth before revenue And that has given them it's been a success for them when it doesn't always work out that way Yeah, I mean the whole kind of gamer aspect of Of of discord It kind of reminds me of the first days of twitch where there were people who I wanted to work with and twitch was A good platform for certain things and they were sort of like we was about video games Like i'm not really sure how this works for me Discord kind of had that issue at first didn't have an issue with people who are you know gamers That used it as a platform, you know to talk to each other about all of that stuff But it was a little bit of like a barrier to entry I think for people who weren't sure that this was something that they could use for other things And you know as platforms get big You have to open it up to a lot of folks. So this makes a lot of sense to me Yeah Well and twitch used to specifically forbid anything that didn't involve video game talk discord never even did that Which I think was smarter because it allowed it to grow I mean, I maybe it's not smarter because twitch was doing a different thing and transitioning away from justin tv Etc But but what I think discord did well was realize. Hey, this is where our community is taking us Let's let's make that better for them Slack doesn't want to be A tool for community slack wants to be a tool for business So what they're doing makes sense, which is like, hey, you know, you could try it out for free But really if you want to make it useful you need to pay us because we're for the enterprise And they're competing with microsoft teams rather than competing with discord discord is better for just an open community And that's why I am in way more discord than I am slacks because slack is productivity oriented Discord is enjoyment oriented. And so every patreon that I'm a member of I'm in like 20 discord servers Just, you know, most of them from patreon alone And and it is more friendlier to being able to just chat with people Slack you can do it, but you kind of have to to work around their purpose And it's really not what they wanted you to do. They want you to use it for for enterprise Yeah, and I hope I was I didn't sound too dismissive of slack because it was actually paying them a compliment on their business approach because they actually have a lot of paying users and That's probably a good way to go if you want to be a successful business But it certainly does afford opportunities to other players in that field and I feel like over time Slack has solidified their where for business stance and discord is kind of raking in Everyone else and of course, there's you know teams and others. I think Zoom and even google meets are interesting Things that are kind of in the same space, but of course they're just for conference goals and that call alone Discord provides a much fuller type of experience and service Including very robust video calls now. So I think it might be a An alternative for many different people that don't realize it could be and it's very smart of them to go chasing them It seems like the nitro that you pay for which gets you some little perks Is making them enough money right now. I wonder if it can scale. I hope that it can scale Because I don't want them to put major features behind the paywall like slack does And and it seems like that's working before we wind up this topic though We do need to honor our ancestors and say thank you irc for taking the way Because really all these are just kind of like takes on irc in in prettier packages with with bells and whistles So, you know irc still kicking out there. Don't forget about it Hey, thanks everybody who participates in our sub reddit. Sometimes irc stories show up there Sometimes it's something completely different. You can submit stories and vote on others at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com Oh, let's check out the mailbag. Oh Let's uh, we got a good one from Gregory Who's a developer because we've been talking recently about, you know Where developers are coming from when they make the rules that they make for their apps Gregory says i'm a developer by profession I can tell you that data sets are typically collected and collated by people independent of developers Developers seldom collect data used in this modeling. A good example is weather related data used in forecasting models Another is tesla's driver data collection used in improving their self-driving algorithms An independent uh firm group set of sensors or a different branch of a company Will typically do this data collection and provide the data to the developers to test to use in testing and proving their algorithms I'm not providing a pass for these companies lack of diversity But I would like to make it clear that if there are gaps in the data being used to develop a technology Such as facial recognition that is not usually the fault of the developer or development group But a fault in the project oversight management. Yeah, that's a really good point Gregory It's it's there needs to be pressure put on the people who make the data sets available To make a wider range of data sets available with with with better data in them and the developers can put that pressure on them Which is why Gregory is like i'm not giving people a pass But it's if the developers are trying to develop something and they only have a certain number of data sets to choose from You could say well, can't you make your own data set? That's a whole other job And it's a difficult one to to put together these data sets Not saying they couldn't do that, but that would increase quite a bit the time and cost Of development.

Hi guys, welcome to the cruise vlog. I don't know if I'm gonna make this multiple vlogs or I'm just going to put everything in one vlog but I do plan on making a bunch of TikToks. We are gonna get like an internet package so hopefully I will get a lot of like TikTok content and like, you know, short form content out there but obviously too, like I really want to make sure that I put out YouTube videos as well. So I'm still deciding on like, whether this video is gonna be just be like one long video or broken up. Anyway, Valor's super excited. I am. Sherry's super excited back there. Excited too. And yeah, so I will see you when we get to Port Canaveral. The point where we can see the ship, oh sure. And I got some good stuff for TikTok and you kind of like saw some overlay B roll as well but we just got some lunch. I did have a little something before we left cause I didn't want to be like tremendously hungry. We also have the early dinner at like 6.30 so I just got some chicken, broccoli and the shrimp. Valor says the shrimp's really good. I can't wait to try it. And oh, Sherry got a little Shakutori over here. I did. We're heading to our room and we were commenting about how light and bright and more modern it is. We're getting closer. Here we are. Oh, welcome Disney Vacation Club members. All right, we just made it in. Mother's little reaction. Here's our room. Look at how cute. It's adorable. Season's greetings, valued guests. This is a little pull out sofa. Me. And then here's the bathroom. Oh, look, we don't have a shower curtain sticking to our butt. It's glass. Oh, good. Look at that. So it's tub and shower. It's tub and shower. And then we have a toilet. Then here is the little mirror. Everything is so good. So good. We're exploring the room and basically that's a little advent calendar. Yeah. Wait, is this a beach bag? I think it's a beach bag. Sherry Black and Chew. It's water cool. We do get land years. This thing's kind of weird. I'm not even going to lie, but it looks like an upgraded version. And then Sherry just added these on. But this is so nice. We can put this outside the door too, right? Look at the little loofy. I love the goofy. Aww. So is this like a whole package? Yeah, it's a package. You bought the holiday package.  They're actual little things that you could put like something. How cute. That's very cute. Good job, Sherry. Aww. And I got smile water. Yeah.   What happened? I was gonna get my key card just way under the bed. Oh, I'm kind of living for this little shelf thing. I'm using it as a tripod, but we got this cute little wet dry bag. I guess you could put like your swimsuit in that. And then we got this thing. Let's see what this is. Oh, I think it's a tote. Oh, it is. Sherry's gonna love this. She does love her totes. Look how cute it is. It's time to cruise. They must have thought this one was sus because this was inspected by the canines. Bella's gonna show you something really cool. Look at this refrigerator. We were looking for one. And ba-bam. Look at that. There it is. There it is. And you must bring your keys to the room. This room is really fun. For our little sail away party, we decided to go for a little drink. It's like five o'clock. It's before dinner. We got the earlier dinner, which is great because we don't really like doing the late night dinner because we like to explore the ship and walk around after dinner. Also too, everyone shouts out to Valerie over here because she got the internet package because she actually has to do work and stuff. And so basically she was like, oh, we'll just do the two devices so you can have phone access. And I'm like, oh my God. Because guys, it's kind of expensive. It's kind of like a rip-off. But it was really nice that she was like, oh, we'll just add one more device for your phone. So I'm really happy and grateful for that. So even though she has to work, it's still like good for me. We're in the Arendelle restaurant. And oh my gosh, it's so pretty. And there's a show on the internet. Arendelle ate her up tonight. And there's a man, Chris Thomas. Oh, oh, no, where are you going, Arendelle? I can see you staring at me. I am here in your eyes. So this is the scallop, I guess. It's crazy. Oh my God. Crystal. Pretty much got the same thing. Yeah, they got the ribeye. And then you know me, I got the salmon, the classic with the fries here. So this is classic Alex. Got the Mickey bar for dessert. Perfect, Sherry. Oh yeah, oh yeah. You got the butter cake. Sherry got the butter cake. Six, you're back. Six, it's incredible. You know what you're like? I just feel all of it. I'm just exploring the ship now. There's like a cool bar here. This is like the main pool where they like to show movies and have a pool. Look at that. What do we think this is? Do you think it's a swan? I don't know, they turned down our little beds, but maybe this is a swan. I have no idea what this is, but I wanna show you guys. The next day. Okay, so I am walking to try to find the elevators. It's the next day and I am going to, oh hey, I found where I was going. I'm gonna take pictures using this tripod because... I think we're over here. Oh, wait, wait. I love how I have this thing. Okay, here we go. Okay, so I'm so happy I have this little tripod because I wanna take some pictures up at the top with like the big Mickey Disney cruise line thing. So I'm gonna do that. My parents are still like finishing up getting ready and I was like, I should just do this now so I can get like fun pictures to post maybe, like after the cruise or whatnot. Oh, this way. Forever lost, forever lost. Mother's got locks and bagels for breakfast. If you all didn't know, this is Sherry's very favorite part of the cruise. Sitting out here, eating breakfast. Here's my breakfast. I don't necessarily love breakfast as you guys know, but I'm actually kind of hungry right now. Valerie, did you enjoy your cinnamon rolls? So much, I love my hat. Oh yeah, did we show the vlog that? I don't even know. Hopefully it's focused, but it's a dog hat. It says Valerie love dogs and then Piper. And it matches her shirt and everything. So, and she's gonna get her hair braided today. That's fun.  Still haven't decided if it's gonna be a full, just like long vlog. I might do two days. So like day one, day two, day three, day four. Break it up, yeah. That sounds like a good plan. That sounds like a good plan. A good plan. A good plan. We're exploring the adult side. Here's the cocafe and bar. Got a cute bar over here. And that was not the co-bar. This is the cocafe and bar. Must be this way, yeah, around here. Inside the cocafe, ooh. It's really pretty in here. Look at the menu. It's on an iPad. Before I forget to vlog this, Sherry and I got some rosé. Showed Sherry. Oh yes. It's very light. They didn't have this. I was gonna just get like a nice coffee, but they had it, so. And then we've just been just exploring in the ship kind of and just walking around. And I think later that's when Valerie's gonna get off the ship or like we're gonna go see if they do hair braiding on the ship. We'll see. I don't know. Oh, look at, we're witnessing a wedding or getting ready for a wedding. That is so cool. We're checking out Sense's fitness. It looks like they have a really big fitness area. Well, I'm not back far enough, Alex, really. Well, it's okay, just get the feet. Okay. Wait, like. In the black part a little bit. Oh, okay. Good. My pressure points. All right, so we got our little pressure points. Wow. Very interesting. All right, so I got some mac and cheese. I really wanted just like a little chicken Caesar salad or something, but there's no salad around here. So I just decided with the mac and cheese because it's gonna be almost dinner time anyway.  So I didn't have anything for lunch. And like now I'm like a bit hungry. I don't know. The meals on the cruise is just really hard because like my parents freaking love breakfast. So I had like some sausage for breakfast, which I normally don't have. So I'm wonky right now, but I'm happy is that I'm gonna get a nice steak about that. Okay, so we made it back to the room and basically Valerie is going to get her hair wrap or hair braid or whatever tomorrow, probably at Castaway Quay. So she's getting her massage right now. And Sherry and I are just chilling out.  I have no idea, but I thought this was cool because it's like plastic. Dinner fit checks. Valerie's wearing the same thing as she was wearing this morning. Sherry is wearing her all black, just like me. I'm wearing all black this evening. I just wore this. This is my 26th birthday dress. And then with like my casual heels.  Valerie's my main photographer. But we're heading to dinner now. Change again. So I'm wearing this sweatshirt and we just decided to come into the little shop to see like the merchandise. We didn't really get to do this. We really didn't get to look in here yesterday. So I wanna like shop for my secret Santa and everything. I also did get to meet Mickey Mouse, but I didn't get like a vlog clip. I might put something in that I did for TikTok or whatever, but anyway, I wanna show you guys this really cute. I wanna show you guys this. If I was like still in my spirit jersey era, I definitely would want this. Look how cute. I love the design, the colors, everything. And then coming over here, there's a lot of like clothing items that I see. I could always get my secret Santa like a luggage tag or a key chain, but I don't know if she'd like that. I'm still thinking my best bet is this cup. I'm feeling like this cup would be a really good gift for Secret Santa. And then I can put like a little foam in it and then make a little tree, not tree, but like bouquet of like gift cards. Also too, I might get one of these for Kyra. I don't know. I still need to like see what she would like. I'm still exploring. We came into Nightingale's. Look at how pretty this place is. This is where she wanted to go tonight. It's so pretty in here. The bar, the piano, the little bubbles. It's very, it's very light. It's like airy. Like that's the best way I could describe it. Got the drinks. Sherry got this like bubble one, which is really cool. I brought us little chocolates and I got a champagne. There's a bubble in there. Look at how cute this bar is. We're kind of just exploring again. It's just so cute. I love the ceiling.
