Whereas for me they weren't a matter and it's hard for me to look at the light sometimes when it comes to you know MCS events and stuff like that But it really is important for you guys that are battling because though you guys are the ones that are going to make this thing Me and Kiv and ghost and joke all these guys we won't play it regardless You know, but for you guys that had an opportunity to make a club series grind the leaderboard and fill with that's like that's really was important and just the confusion with the leaderboards on the last day is Really something that isn't good look for you guys and for everybody else All we asked for is a little bit of communication But if you want not to leaderboards down for 10 hours or four hours or six hours You want to put everybody guessing what's going on? Just communicate. It's not that hard I mean we all asked for y'all to say sit and y'all Just need to go ahead and just communicate with the people that are playing your game and the people that have an Opportunity to make a live event make a online tournament that never had been there before and it's really important to continue to encourage these Guys to play in MCS and play competitive men So I think that's what they dropped the ball for not necessarily to pro players the big-name players that can make the leaderboard easy Easily because I think we can do that fairly easy and we should have done that in the first week like I did but That's neither here nor there But it just goes back to the lack of communication and the scheduling conflicts as we have had since the beginning of MCS And it's definitely something that I mean they seem to not Be able to correct, you know, I think we need one person that's consistently Communicating or one Twitter account obviously had the Twitter account And one of my biggest problems with the Twitter account is such a small they really They really I wish they promoted the MCS on their bigger Twitter accounts and They don't they have this new Madden League ops Which to me is like they could turn it into, you know 500,000 followers if they just promoted it more if they wanted it to be that big if they wanted to promote us that big It would be a bigger Twitter account That's something that we talk about a lot and that they I really wish they promote the MCS That you know on their main Twitter account or even on you know the mud Twitter account These are huge accounts with so many kids see and it could really help people grow like T Dave's just won the first club series man And and I looked at it and obviously he got a lot of love from the Cardinals this seventh third But I went back and looked at the Cardinals They didn't really tweet him out. They didn't really promote. They promoted We're ready for the man club series and they didn't really push that to the next level and Obviously they promoted the hell out of it on the Madden League ops But there's like set there's like I think ten Madden players with more followers than Madden League ops And honestly between me you guys I take a lot of responsibility in that because I feel like I I'm doing that personally. I feel like I'm the reason they have the Madden League ops Twitter. I feel like I'm the reason they can't promote MCS and Matt other man players on their main accounts because they're afraid of you know the stuff that happened with me years ago Happening to other people and them getting in more trouble by promoting other man players So they have this smaller Twitter account To go ahead and promote the man players So I feel like it's a lot of on my shoulders and I you know ruin that for a lot of people So Is what it is. I wish we obviously got better promotion. I think man players I think that T. Davis won a huge tournament, you know, I put a lot of work into that I feel like it should be celebrated more in The man community. So that's just something that how I feel Something that I wish was better in Madden and that's what I thought ultimately was gonna do I thought ultimately was gonna make us superstars but That's neither here nor there We had the rest of the year to figure it out and the rest of you know Our man careers to figure it out and keep moving and keep growing and it's not necessarily up the EA to keep us growing You know, they did this part. They did their part. They give us his platform I wish they could do more but you know, I'm tired of asking them for help. I mean we can do a lot on our own But like I said, we get back to T. Davis T. Davis and the Arizona club series was crazy A lot of things to talk about in this. I mean I watched a lot of games. I hope you guys watch a lot of games We're gonna go over all the games because this is what I like to do. I like to nitpick people's Madden game I like to tear them apart. I like to say what they did wrong say what they did good and Really talk about it because this is what I love. I love to see how people react in certain situations I love to see the decision-making behind what they do and and always think what would I do in that situation or What would the play I call how would I play conservative? Would I play aggressive? What I'm, you know, what would I do? You know, that's pretty much what I love to talk about and I actually watch these games like four times I have huge notes on on every game Actually, my notes are pretty much on the T. Davis versus Little Burke game That game was probably obviously the game of the weekend. The other two games were blowouts I'm gonna talk about the K-Mac game Because there's some things I didn't like out of that and we can talk about that too, but we're definitely gonna talk about Little Burke We're gonna talk about a lot of decisions that were made in that game neither bad or good or so on and so forth and really, I mean Obviously the the past the Chris Thompson office face or office shoulder pads they that Chris Milton just Dove and picked off was the story of the game I mean whether it was pretty bad as much as and you guys watch me play I Use um, what's been called talk earlier running back at tight end all the time and they had those problems like obviously they drop passes They do especially in traffic that one wasn't in traffic Although he had dropped a couple slants or a couple drags early in the game With the strip animation, but this one was definitely bad It definitely was a glitch it hit him off the back and Milton Dover and caught that but as much as we could talk a whole show about that if it could happen, you know if What they could do about plays like that is that you should that be allowed or in a real e-sports when glitches like that happen They cancel it is definitely something that can be talked about in you know in length About that play, but I was just want to talk about the game in general Typical game. I mean you guys have watched Madden like this the entire year three three five I don't from both players West Coast Bunch from T Davis very EMB ish and Also, I mean trips tight end from Lil Burke The same thing we've been seeing all year motion in insides only had Ricky Williams salute the Ricky Williams Ricky Williams won me a lot of money Amen, but I will always salute somebody that puts Ricky Williams in the backfield because he fights like none other And he fought a lot. He actually I mean my man Burke scored a touchdown first drive third and ten I know T Davis is sick about this because I would have been sick about this defensively Third and ten on like on like the 20 yard line He ran it in size on his court of touchdown with Ricky Williams now the touchdown He scores could have scored with anybody because three three five odd gets pounded from time to time But uh, you know, he definitely every fourth and one he had fourth and inches he gave a ball to Ricky boom Ricky Williams Ricky Williams definitely Really every fourth and one and I'm sitting here watching because I watched the game live I really did and I was definitely sitting here watching Thinking name is T Davis gonna run commit But he was never put in a position where I thought a run commit was smart on them third and once especially because it was all He was always down or the game was tied when uh My man Lil Burke had the ball man So but like I said every fourth down Burke definitely ran in size on and He beat him. He like I said Chris Thompson definitely caught a big bomb on second and 20 for Burke, too Chris Thompson lost him the game But he also put him in a huge position there to take the lead because he went up 14-7 off that bomb the Chris Thompson I was gonna go over a couple plays here Griffin. We could bring this up. Let me see where we at over here T Davis versus little Burke boom Let's go shot also another thing about EA shout out to my man Compton 187 man I really hope you're in chat I really hope you catch us on YouTube because this is something that is so easy to do my man Just rips the games. I don't know if he watches him live and then goes ahead and And then just records it and then post it But whatever he does he does a good job of it And I really wish it was something EA did and promoted on nerd YouTube because this is like It's golden and I don't understand why I Mean my twitch now popping up. I don't understand why they don't do this at a bigger scale. They don't do this, you know On their YouTube whatever YouTube they may have whatever you know, whatever they got going on YouTube wise I don't know why EA doesn't do this so you can have access to these games But Compton when a seven has the community He really does so if you ever want to watch any old MCS game any live event game My man Compton when a seven has it down for you guys But the main thing I want to look at here is I want to look at the main decision that I want to talk about it is T. Davis here Oh, just the K-Mac game never mind pause this The first decision I saw in this game that was Pretty wild and I understood it completely this is this is a sack and then the bomb the next play But I think it's coming up here Now T. Davis has the ball here He gets the ball a half Yes, it Compton really helps us out for real. He really is like I don't I don't understand why somebody EA can't do that and really promote men But neither here nor there now T. Davis has the ball here. Obviously for me first in 10 right now I'm running the ball. I'm getting to the two-minute warning. I'm doing I'm pretty sure that's what he does See, I mean, this is pretty simple man here. Let me just get to the two-minute where I get the ball a half I'm thinking of myself Even if I go ahead and score a field goal here. I'm cool because I'm getting an automatic turnover I'm getting a ball has second and three is big because I can get a first down Pretty he's in good position that even though K-Mac has all three timeouts or a little brick has all three timeouts He's in good position here to run the clock out Because it's second and three had he got the first down is way different situation What's he Davis does? I believe he goes ahead and pounds the ball here and he gets he gets a first-in-goal Early like a first-in goal real close to the goal line I don't know. He does his little curries little wheel route that he doesn't run it back a lot We'll talk about that later, too But now I would have called timeout if I'm a little brick right there I want to conserve as much time as possible because Now I know that you mean if I call timeout there T Davis cannot run the clock out But what he's gonna do right here. This is a for me personally.  I want I'm cool with 14 to 10 I don't want it, but I'm cool with his obvious run commit situation. So what T Davis does is he's gonna come out here. I Think this is the downy pass. Yeah, he passes and he gets lurked which is brutal Which is absolutely brutal that you get lurked there But for me, it's an obvious run commit situation because if you're little Burke You want to get the ball back before the half the worst case scenario of your little Burke is you don't get the ball back before half so somewhere where I definitely would rank commit because Even if you score bang, it's 14 14 But I have a whole minute and 22 seconds to go ahead and get the ball back So that's pretty much what I would have been thinking defensively. So T Davis thought about they say I'm a call pass play now. Obviously he had a plan. He gone through this high ball Didn't expect the guy to be on Dion and super lurkers. So that was a huge play and honestly Now I'm T Davis. I'm sick about that one because I didn't take any time off the clock To obviously I turn the ball over so I don't have any points now.  I'll pass it. Obviously fine. That's cool But you have to have a plan for okay if he doesn't run commit. This is what I want to throw Now it's pretty wild this place pretty wild because I mean see a lot of people run this as the double post here You got will tie running a post order. No, he doesn't want to throw will tie. He wants to throw the Herman more What happens is and obviously he gets lurks right there. Boom Great play by little Burke. I mean, that's why you have Dion Sanders Now this is where a little Burke if little Burke is going to win the Arizona club series He has to score right now. He caught T Davis. It made a mistake. So he has to go down and score Now don't remember exactly what happens, but I know he punched the ball But honestly turning the ball over there could have been killer It really took away that turnover.  This is a huge downright. This is huge Obviously, he made him use his timeouts right here So he can't stop the clock. So if I'm T Davis right now You got to be looking for some type of curl flat some type of deep corner route. There's no way it's pot It's extremely hard to go ahead and pause to go ahead and get something in the middle of field and go even if he if he Claws it a seam down to like the 35 he might have time to call the field or unit out But it looks like he just went for the bomb post out of Deep corner and throw underneath pretty much nothing because you play to play like that now You only have one play to throw to the end zone. He no huddles And he throws the ball away So obviously Obviously, that's not exactly when when you draw to pick inside the goal line You go to pick inside the goal line there or inside the five boom You just ruined your chances of being 14-10 or 14-14. You're still down 70 Don't you get ball back But because you bag a little Burke you can go ahead and try to score points and then I score points There's a little bit disappointing even though it was a super tough spot to score points It was definitely tough to get points there. It would have been almost impossible to get points there But so anyway, T Davis go ahead and get the ball out of half and what he does is he goes I believe he goes right down the field and he scores So Another thing I want to talk about another Amateur amateur amateur thing that Burke did that he got to learn from this. We got to a T Davis goes down the field This is how this ain't it right here. No, no, no, this is Burke with the ball fourth inches He gave the ball to Ricky Williams smart man.  Okay. He pinces the line. It might stop quarterback sneak But if I'm see I'm thinking T. They I'm second to one I you got to show me you can stop quarterback sneak because this doesn't look like it's not goal line I don't think it's gonna stop it and boom. It doesn't really stop and I fall for now right here This is exactly what I would have did no huddle boom Now Burke is in the shittiest quarterback sneak defense in the world now.   He is like, please. Please. Hey He's trying to snap the ball to get an easy touchdown. I don't know why a human being why would you call time? All you have to do right now after he no huddles this because this isn't the first one second one This isn't the best quarterback sneak defense. It's not I don't care what you labbed up It's just come out in any goal line play and quarterback sneak is not an option But he's in 3-4 he gets the first down with the quarterback sneak So then he no huddles, which is whatever he's every sane man player in the world would do You know because now I got first thing going to one.  I can go ahead and score now All you have to do Defensively is go offsides Run encroachment or anything because he's already at the half yard liner or the yard line All that's going to do is move him half the distance. So half half of the six inches is three inches Have you have a yard is a half a yard? It doesn't make a difference if you can come out if it gives you the opportunity to come out in the right defense Exactly that half a yard difference from going offsides doesn't matter if you come out there in the right goal line defense But allowing somebody to score an easy touchdown inside the yard inside the two is Devastating It's just little things you have to do and we're just sending chat. I wanted to call a timeout There's no need to call a timeout that half yard is not worth of time.  We're gonna come down to that in a minute And honestly it disappointed me.   He liked this sire leaf He wishes he had that three he do a pick on he really wishes that But the game is tied Now essentially Lil Burke does his job in the next drive He really does he just ships away and ships away and ships away and ships away Just he really does do a good job of going down the field every fourth down He got to he ran inside zone and that's and it and because there's so much time left that's why I was thinking is T. Davis ever gonna run commit his his Trips to his trips tight end. Which is hard to run commit, but you see him just bringing people He knows he's gonna go ahead and run Inside zone and it's hard to stop especially when he does this motion in here Third and one he doesn't run it there Not maybe see maybe a run commit option, but he gets a drop right there from Fuller And this is where I was thinking T. Davis might run commit right here Because he's it he's just shown every time is a fourth in that a fourth in the shirt It's gonna get a ball to Ricky and that's why you pay Ricky and like I said, but in pride when the pocket started I'm not mad at that. Ricky Williams is the man. He's where he's the mutt. Whatever he is. He's the man You see he gets to a fourth and one now time is becoming a big issue now Especially the way he's playing he's getting little yards little yards run run run He can take 30 seconds off the clock every time gets the block there almost looked like he was going to shoot that gap right there Almost like he was gonna shoot it. It was pretty wild So shoot.  Here we go Beautiful beautiful in there street internet right here Jesus Jesus But anyway, he was stopped. He was trying to stop his inside zone and it was really hard to stop Out of that look You guys say, uh, yeah, this is just amazing Guys got all the internet tools in the world Let's see that little Burke. Let's see if we go from here End of the scuba story Rock don't wanna show up no more man. He gave up Oh, this is the ah, here we're right back. Jeez next play he gets sacked Which is obviously great for t davis But it knocks him back. It's just more time off the clock. So t davis is thinking man This game is getting short. It really is the game is getting short really quick And I think this is the the infamous play right here. Honestly This is the play that changes. This is the play we're talking about for years It's a great setup though because he has a high low read on the right and t davis has to guard b Tumps it all boom boom boom and there it is milton now i'm T davis was clicked on here, but man It's crazy to think that someone would be holding y to pick that off at that time Because if I'm t davis right here I'm definitely clicking I'm definitely clicking strip.  That's what I'm clicking I'm jamming the hell out of rb button I'm rb and maybe there I hit y but ah man. I just I want to say man did it for him. I want to say it out there chat I want to put it out there and say man did it off him.  Obviously if you're lil burk, you're devastated because you had a dot I mean you you probably might have got you know six to eight yards on that got you to a third and long where Honestly, where's he at again? There's a second and 20, but he's on he's on midfield. So two baby dots even if you don't Two baby dots even if you don't get into uh, even if you don't get the first down you'll get back into field range You know, so you're thinking after you'll do it as baby dot i'm gonna go ahead and uh I'm halfway into field range because really like 35 is field range. He catches us here at the 45 he might you know It is milton mil might have missed the tackle. So he could have got halfway man I mean he could have won the game so of it so many other times.  This game is over. I had Leonard fornet for a reason And the one thing I love about watching t davis play all weekend was it he he when he milked he milked It wasn't skim milk. There wasn't almond milk. It wasn't soy milk.  He snapped at the half second every time He let it go to one and then snapped it. He didn't wait. He didn't snap at three or four You caught the real milk and that's that's Then you'll see here It doesn't matter here because he's not going to get it under 30 seconds But then two plays he can get to the two minute warning. So it's almost worth it worth the pass here scrambles with vick boom He knows the next play is going to take him. This is a huge play in the game and this play right here This play right here is Probably the play of the game Because little burton you got to know that boom if I stop him here, he's kicking his fill I'm going to get the ball back. I'm going to have to get into my timeouts if he gets this first down And this is why you have michael vick. He plays the great the best defense you could play double flash the right side He's been running stick or or he's running stick Or mesh post pretty much every play flipped and just different route comedies. I'm going to get into that Pretty much now I'm going to get into that So on this 35 he played great defense right here You know Because all tv davis the it was flip bunch around And like ghost and it's it's just annoying. You just want to smack so like just make up your mind And honestly, sometimes I think they don't even make up their mind. They don't even know what they want to do But like I said on third and five for the game third and five for the game Like I said, he goes double flats on the right He puts because t davis had hit him with this seam a couple times He puts the safety right here over here in the third up the middle. That's not an option. That's not an option That's not an option the crossing route is not an option But to me For the chaloups, you've got to spy michael vick and and the thing is people play with vick and they'll say oh I don't scramble right? I mean vicks left-handed, but it's for one play if you could have the scrambler Even if it matters for one play It matters, you know It's worth to have michael vick and obviously this was great defense I think the fending bunch is picking the right defense at the right time My man little berk picked picked the perfect defense at the right time Just didn't spy vick and he gets burnt by just a little bit more And and I mean that's that's one of the players of the game So now i'm going to go to one of t davis obviously Like I said, it was pretty much stick to the wild side or was messed post And pretty much this game if you're going to use If you're going to use west coast playbook, which obviously is still good bunch is still good I don't want to get into that. This is not a way as much so good and podcast.  That's pretty much if you run if you run west coast Your thought process on offense is how many different ways can I run mesh post? And there was a way that he ran mesh posts in this game that really Really killed little berk.  He did. I mean if I mean, obviously the game came down to that pick You know and little berk could have easily won his game if you didn't have to pick and gotten to feel Arranged a little a couple things went differently for him. He was never out of the game But defensively I really thought he I mean I really thought t davis played a great game I was really impressed the way he played offense this game And the main thing I it's just about mesh posts How many different ways can you run a mesh post and he really killed him with this one there's one setup And that's when I took down in my notes pretty much was just a little hitch on his inside receiver. We'll see here A little hitch on his inside receiver and then the post So pretty much he puts that you know, he puts that bind on your user Are you going to cover the hitch or you want to cover the post? Here it is He drops back to the post hits the hitch now. He doesn't get the best animation right here But you see that just the concept of the play and the next place is going to come back to the same thing Let's talk about calling plays out a bunch. How many different ways can you call play? How many different ways can you run mesh posts? And that's pretty much what it came down to Here he runs the same play the same exact setup, but just flipped That's time he guards the hitch and boom those the posts It's pretty much because you're already in through three five you're blitz out of many people Bunch puts as much stress on your flats as possible. So you have to have a flat on both sides It's pretty much making the user cover both the hitch and the post and that's definitely You know one that he used to perfection all game It's definitely a couple other times where he used it Hmm. Let me see my notes 2110 he used it Let's like the next player here. He's just moving the ball down the field You see a for 11 that pick inside the five really killed him He's gonna use mesh post again Now I remember in the last year. I was good at flipping bunch and make a high routes And I'm so good at now It's definitely something that and because he doesn't block anybody He still has the option to go ahead and dump it off here to will tie still keeps that flat route What that flat route will do too is take all them flat zones all them purple zones all the way out of the way So the hitch is even more wide open So all that being said what we're going to do here is we're going to fast forward to after that third and five play We're going to show the third and five play again Because this is definitely definitely A spot in the game where where you know champions are born You gotta know how to execute these plays obviously went over this play a thousand times Michael vick goes ahead and makes this play takes it to the two-minute warning now a little Burke has three timeouts left Me I'll probably use my timeouts for the red I got to stop him right and he can if he gets another first down I lose this game period He already got one first down, but because I have three timeouts I can get the ball back I got Lord Jesus Griff, what's up?  No, but like I said after that Jesus christ After that first down Now you got to use your timeouts where we at here come on youtube Boom So you get a first down here Boom Now I gotta get all you thank thanks for how about appreciate you By the way after we get this first down Now if I'm broke I got to get into my timeouts Because that's the only way I get the ball back is if I get into my timeouts So if I'm oh Jesus Griff this is amazing work Where is that? What's the best defensive formation? The best defensive formation is to me is still dollar This mozilla is great right here uh griff amazing Quality Yeah, I'm off of mozilla. I've given up chrome is gonna fight for us Boom. All right. We're back All right, perfect. So obviously today this runs right here. Boom again. I'm calling timeout right away And what happens is this is the craziest part is that berk tries to call timeout Because any I'm calling timeout He he goes to call timeout now the biggest problem He'll tell you this this is this is amateur hour and we tell a lot of people You know playing in a big lights being prepared is more than just you know knowing how to black 35 odd Knowing how to defend bunch knowing how to run the ball And all this you got to be prepared to play with a with a xbox controller You got to be prepared to play with a converter And low berk was not prepared to play with a converter. He did not know the timeout button That is what and they never mentioned this in the stream because they didn't know what was going on I didn't know what was going on at the time But what happens is he doesn't call timeout because he doesn't know the button now he would have called timeout at 157 You see he gets this pause at 144. So he gets his pause. I don't know the button. I don't know how to call timeout That that's pretty much what what it is, you know now chow comes over says, you know You got to hit this button that button now what's crazy after this he doesn't need to use his timeout And the little berks in the chat you can tell did they make you use the timeout Because if I already waste 15 seconds off the clock because of that, I'm not going to use my timeout I'm going to go ahead and let that 30 seconds run off the clock Let him run again then get into my timeouts Because I don't necessarily need to use a timeout in that situation I would like to but because I didn't know the button They already let 15 seconds run off the clock.  Did he still want to use the timeout? because if it's me And I let what pray pretty much because when T then when that play was stopped it was like 157 left period So Instead of it and we're talking about 16 17 seconds.  So for me personally, I wanted to use the timeout if I didn't know I would go ahead and let the clock run So now we get to here We get to the next play boom. He runs again. Obviously he has learning for net Boom. Okay. Now he uses timeout right away So he's stuck with one timeout has to get off the field here has to where he won't get the ball back game is over He pretty much has one dot and we talked about this play all day This is the play out and he's going to go to the same setup You know, he's being killed by mesh post with a hitch mesh post with a hitch So what is berk going to defend mesh? And this is the sneakiest dot where he sneaks out his running back over here and with the wheel route now route Falls down secures the bag So that's pretty much where he used mesh post with a with a hitch mesh post with a hitch He finally ran the same setup but went back to the quick out route with the running back wheel on mesh post Was able to hit that for the dot the first time he's doing that pass all day He kept a little berk over there with the hitch in the post boom. So now he's going to let the clock run Because he's thinking now. How can I use my timeout to ice this field? And that's what I would be thinking But if we add those 17 seconds on to this play now with his one timeout, it changes it drastically Now he either has those 17 seconds if he knows how to press the pause button Or or if he doesn't even call the timeout. He has another whole He know that he has another whole timeout to use So we're talking he either has 17 more seconds or a whole another timeout If he has a whole another timeout in this situation, it changes it drastically So t davis does I mean the whole thing blew up now, but it's cool. So what t davis does Honestly, what he does is he goes ahead and takes it in the boom When any any smart man player would do comes out and field goal on third down That's what does boom comes out on third or field down But comes out and field goal on third down So that's able to go ahead and he can't get ice or he makes little berk uses last timeout Then t davis comes out and field goal to win the game Now this is field goal to win the entire that I don't need to know. I'm good. You ain't got to worry about brady I'm good. I don't I don't need to know more. I can just talk the people just want to hear me talk anyway So then t davis comes out Third down berk calls his timeout boom At the berk calls his timeout t davis comes back out and field goal and this is t davis. I mean obviously, I mean t davis been around a long time now. I'm talking since he was a little kid And he's played a lot of math he's played a lot of man to prepare for this tournament and he does One of the biggest amateur things he can do He comes out he gets rid of the ice kicks the field goal But decides, you know what first of all, it's a short field goal He only kicks half power or third power, which is what I would probably do as well But he decides, you know, I'm t davis. I'm too cool. I don't have to hold this I don't have to hold this you're not gonna just kick it right away Like you like it and a lot of times even I get in the problem with this We kick so many extra points so many field goals that it just becomes a habit a a a boom That's pretty just habit to kick the ball kick the ball kick the ball But like I said, he just comes out there kicks the ball no power doesn't get it perfect Boom, I can just do whatever it doesn't hold it and little berk comes around the edge to block it Now god bless. I mean I The heart dropped that one t davis had right away little berk said, oh, I got a I got a chance Then he dives and misses it and then just the hearts flip the other way The t davis just a giant sigh of relief and and berk was probably devastated and Just little things t davis got to hold that because you got to hold if you don't go for full power on a kick You have to hold it at least 10 seconds or just some amount of time. You can't click it instantly That's what t davis did should have got blocked and it would have got and honestly as much as we all hate field goal Blocks, there's not a competitive player that thinks field goal blocks should be in the game It's definitely a sim thing is something rexing them to thought up to make the game more interesting or more fun for the kids and um We don't like it, but it's in the game So we got a depth to the game and if t davis field would have got blocked and returned for a touchdown He would have lost on that he could have only blamed himself because you got to hold that field goal You got to hold it once you get the get the accuracy, right and he didn't hold it That's why he got the block animation, but he didn't block it so Boom that's pretty much how I was but he was able to win that game It was the best game of the weekend a lot of controversy on that drop pick by Milton But I mean that's why you put Milton on the field man, if you don't have a Milton get yourself a Milton I remember my stream a couple months ago. I said let's all post Milton for like 2000 coins or 20,000 coins And you assholes are still posting them up there for 800 coins Milton has worth so much But by now every competitive player has three or four miltons. I know I have three or four miltons. So if you need a Milton Hit me up. I'll give them to you for a cool 20k or something like that But I mean that that was a great game It was great to watch great to see little little things people did differently towards the end And the way they handled themselves under pressure and the way they really uh performed that like I said t davis I really thought he was um He was impressive passing the ball When you're using west coast is pretty much how many different ways can you run mesh post and he ran it very well But and that's all my entire notes for that t davis was a little burk if i'm burk i'm sick about the drop Definitely sick about the drop um The drop drag into a pick turnover in the game But but if I look back at it the the biggest drive That I had it was 14 to 7 I picked him off in the end zone I stopped him from getting points When he was up 14 7 2 minutes left he had all his timeouts You've got to go down there and get some type of points if you can go up 17 7 a half time It's really the moralizing to your opponent and really a both boost for you So if you look back at anything he could have done differently would definitely be that That drive before half Was definitely the one where he needed to go up two scores You know for t davis to throw that pick turn around and get a stop and get the ball back He didn't score any points, but he definitely got a stop went to have 14 to 7 Was able to score out a half and tie the game up get that fortunate bounce that we all need You got to put yourself in position and get the fortune to bounces and he did so I said it was a great game. I also want the final game Kmak versus t davis t davis said on the announcement. He said listen, man Kmak blew me out to get here. He ran something. I didn't really expect he ran something new So I really prepared for it So to me, I mean I was interested in watching the game. Obviously I played kmak He's a little while a little different You always like somebody a little different man. It's cool. It's cool to watch And people say this is what's going to make man grow is people run in different schemes But I mean for me personally, I mean if everybody runs it, they all run it for a reason Don't try to reinvent the wheel You know, it's a different occurs. Obviously it might catch somebody slipping the first time The first time you're running you might catch a win or or you know, you might sneak up on somebody But bunch is good for a reason all the pro players run this for a reason 35 out is good for a reason Now kmak's defense was something else And you saw it earlier against t davis t davis actually got the ball first and he got bagged He ran twice draw got him to a third and eight he snapped and he just came back and got sacked by the two bummy ends obviously see kmak was going for a shed defense and that's something that that Boxed t davis right away, but t davis punted the ball And all he did all get he pretty much ran cover three four man rush hoping for the loop The loop never really even came in versus kmak and just Lawrence taylor fought and kmak really looked lost against just Covered three cloud flats Lurking the middle of the field and I talked to kmak afterwards and he said I was really more prepared for people sending five and six at me One and i'm assuming that's what t davis did on their own online game when he said kmak blew him out So I saw t davis was really more prepared for some for uh kmax offense He really came prepared for the the spread with everybody going over the middle He kept the three wreck in the middle of the field. He put hook curls. He lurked the middle of the field It was nowhere really to throw And we'll also talk about that game is kmak did throw a lot of corner routes To the bummy receivers that did not catch the ball He got unfortunate probably three or four times with deep corner routes that hit his receiver in the back His receiver didn't get his feed in You know, there's things that could have swayed the game You know if kmak catches a couple of those 20 30 yard passes. Boom. He gets a field wool now Now he puts a little more pressure on t davis See t davis did I don't even think he completed a pass in this game He just played defense and he just ran the ball He had lender for net and because kmak did not score T davis didn't have to pass the ball. It's not necessarily that t davis or kmak didn't have run defense It was more so that kmak couldn't score So if my opponent can't score, why would I risk passing the ball? Why I would just keep pounding and giving the ball a lender for net because you have shown you can't score And you have shown that you know, I'm going to go ahead and And just keep running the ball because you can't score and and eventually I want to pop a run and t davis did when I'm seven nothing Just kept playing defense. So the one thing about it I was Disappointed in how kmak put his routes on the field even though he did drop hella passes on the sideline But the main people he was going to pass to the sideline was john ross and will fuller And I said I told I talked to him. I said man, I wish you had you know better Why receivers they seemed like that was the main part you were trying to do the ball to Was these two slot receivers running corner routes? And he said he was confident with who we had but I mean john ross and will fuller really let him down that game Made it that much harder to keep passing the ball because obviously if fuller and ross are going to go ahead and drop these these touchdowns You're going to have a problem, you know or drop these big corner routes You're going to have a problem and then next time you drop back You're not going to be so sure to do it in the ball Even though that's probably the biggest play you have in your offense If they continue to drop it or step out of bounds or so on and so forth then you're going to have to Think twice when you drop back to do the ball will fuller. So that was pretty much the big thing Another big play t davis did not play good offense again. He got bagged and he actually had a punt I wish I could show you guys this but he actually had a punt That pin pin came back inside the five yard line It's about pro players all the time. It's it's a misconception that we want to we don't punt the ball You know sometimes when you notice you're playing a player that you feel like you got the bag They're not going to move the ball You know when you're not playing the best offense in the world Go ahead and punt the ball and t davis actually punt him inside the five This is when it was 7-0 and it was still a game Pun him inside the five And what happened was t davis actually made him go three and out and k mac being like three minutes left or under two minutes left k mac had all three time out So he went for a fourth down on his own seven yard line Which we agreed with because it was the only way k mac was probably want to get the ball back If you punt from your own seven, you're probably going to get the ball to the 50 maybe so that's pretty much in full range already But if you turn the ball over on the 10 yard line or the 7 yard line It's just as easy for it was just as hard to score touching out from the 10 as it is to score from the 50 So after he after he punt the ball, yeah after Well, t davis punted him inside the 10 k mac went for a fourth down didn't get it And what happened was that punt that great punt that t davis had Allowed him to stop him on fourth downs get right back inside the 10 yard line And t davis was able to run the clock out and kick his field will go up 10 nothing a half that was huge That was a big deal.  I'm gonna put my money in my wide receivers You know, whether it be moss whether I think he had tyrie kill. He had tyrie kill hillton John ross and will fuller First of all me and randy moss on the field at all times I would have put more money in my uh in my wide receivers as I was him the other thing that k mac had That was just mind-blowing. He had drew breeze a quarterback now I drew breeze obviously he's having another great year He's going to be the top five quarterback of all time, but he's not a top 55 quarterback in the history of madden I I would have a breath of fresh air if someone brings drew breeze on my field, you know, I feel like I mean and and we went back to what t davis did on defense. He just rushed four people Two cloud zones a three-wreck or a hook curl and his user the whole game. That was it Nothing special now me If I see that michael vick is getting 10 yards every play until you spy him. Okay, so now you spy him Okay, one you take away your rush two you take away your coverage one or the other by having a 55 speed quarterback T davis doesn't have to put a spy.  I mean he I'm You know how bad I am at mad Then for my first read a lot of plays is can I take off with vick? And if k mac had vick, he would have had 150 yards or like I said, he would have made t davis Which is defense spy laurence taylor spy a flat zone open up a drag open up a flat route to get 20 yards instead of getting four yards And that's something that I really came to watch and really see like, you know Everybody should have a mobile quarterback. It's just that extra weapon the defense has to account for So one he doesn't have a mobile quarterback two. He has shitters at y receiver Not going to be the best offense you could possibly have on the field and if i'm running spread I want the best offense possible especially If i'm running the offense with only one blocker, I want a mobile quarterback, but k mac was there for a reason jubrize obviously held him down for the most part So that was one of some of the observations I took them from the last game and Congratulations to t davis main play smart and that's when I went to the game with K mac was really when I realized t davis was really out there giving the milk. It was no half ass milk Like I said, it was no almond no soy The milk that t davis gave out there was straight from the cow straight from the udder just straight milk Took that bitch all the way down to one second That's something I really pray that all you guys take learn from man If you're going to milk somebody milk them the right way I mean really take it down to one second because every second matters We saw that coming to play with the birkin t davis game every second matters Now you guys are telling me the vikings club series got postponed I don't know that all I did was look at the old schedule they posted that was supposed to be the next club series so But since you guys told me got postponed I'm not going to get into that because obviously uh, it's for another podcast another time So let's get into the devastating news that is week seven and nfl So The eagles let down a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter I don't know what happened.   They can't stop the they can't cover earths or outshines are doing whatever they want Then I don't I couldn't even tell you guys what happened. I mean Obviously as a man player you want to go ahead and If you have a 17 point lead you want to sit on the ball You want to let them throw the ball underneath tackle them take 20 25 30 seconds off the clock every play And I was cool with that watching the game. I'm like, okay, I'm cool. You know, let them throw the ball underneath That's cool. You know every every play As I'm a man player every play in the real football game. I'm thinking it out That's 30 seconds off the clock. Boom. Okay. Let them catch that dragon 30 seconds off the clock There's two plays in the game that that killed me Well, three kind of killed me because that revered the first touchdown It was 17 nothing the first touchdown was a reverse and boom. He got an end zone Congratulations. Okay, it's 17 to six. They missed the extra point 17 to six. I feel fine Then they get the ball back and we allowed them to do a post down the middle of the field For like 40 yards. That's that's what you can't have that's how comebacks happen Obviously if a team is going to make this wild come back and throw four and five yard passes all the time, god bless them But the Eagles gave up a post down the middle of the field And I hate eagles twitter I I start following a lot of eagles fans and I swear these people are just clueless We can't win. We're running prevent prevent doesn't allow a post route down the middle for 40 yards Also prevent does not allow the next play forgot to get double moved on the outside boom touchdown So when two players were in the end zone, we do a post down the middle boom Then we do a double move on outside boom. So they allowed them to score a touchdown really fast Also, the offense didn't offense had chances to go ahead and uh end the game and they really didn't They really didn't get it done and in Carson wins Yes, the first person you point to because he's the best player on the team but That's neither here nor there the eagles definitely choked we're looking I still like us to win the division We're three and four now the reskins are four and two like us to beat them twice Even that out. We got to go six in on the division if we want to win the division, you got to beat everybody in the division Speaking of the division the cowboys another hysterical game Came all down to one field goal kicker I did think the cowboys got cheated on that call on the fault the snap infraction You see a lot of centers do that. We'll just play with the ball a little bit make them jump pause make make the Made the defensive line jump And it worked, you know, but they called they they called the center for the snap infraction Tough call But you're not a field goal kicker. You still got to kick the field. Well, he Clanks it off the off the upright Great ending for for somebody like me that loves to laugh at the cowboys So what are the cowboys do after losing that game? I believe the cowboys are three and four now or two and four one. I think they're three and four So the cow after losing that game that inside is cool to trade their first round pick for a marie cooper I feel like if it's something you feel like you need God bless. I mean i'm marie cooper Obviously is probably falling out a super favorite with the raiders if they're going to trade them But they give up a first round pick is a big a Big sacrifice to your future But they feel like marie cooper somebody that could really help them I think that is their biggest weakness is why i receive her on the outside I mean they thought alan herons was going to be good for them and uh They got this young kid gallop was fast, but ultimately first round pick for A marie cooper the raiders had to snap their hands and then go get that so the raiders now have tons of first round picks It certainly looks like gruning is just one of clean house and rebuild over there in oakland I'm not sure I don't pay that much attention to oakland raiders But they're looking really bad looking like they're really tanking and really trying to stockpile Some draft picks a trust the process type of situation there for the raiders I mean the other story we got talked about is justin tucker justin tucker missing the extra point to send the game into overtime That's crazy. I think he was 222 out of 222 extra points before that best kicker in the nfl bar none He he's the best but I mean everybody's due to miss something, you know, that was a great game The saints are really looking tough to go ahead and beat the ravens on the road Now we forget about the saints because they went and got blown out by the buccaneers and week one They got shocked surprised and if it's patrick really put it on them But since then the saints have been playing some lights off football and probably Probably the second best team in nfl or the nfc right now behind the rams and rams are just lights out as well But but it probably goes rams and saints if you want to talk about the nfc power rankings So those are two teams i'm looking forward to watch play and you know drew breeze is just It's no way you can watch drew breeze and not having me a top five all time I think obviously brady and joe joe montana paying manning But after those three, I feel like drew breeze gotta be right there I mean when it's all sudden done drew breeze is going to have every passing record and a super bowl I mean, how can you argue with that? You know, I don't know why we really overlook drew breeze Maybe it's because you know, obviously he's in the dome And he's always passing the balls always had bad defenses always always in shootouts trying to come from behind and But we really kind of overlook how great drew breeze is and maybe because he doesn't have the huge Playoff performances that erin rogers or tom brady have But drew breeze certainly obviously is one of the best quarterbacks of all time and we're lucky to have watched drew breeze And the saints look really strong right now. I mean Like I said, they're probably second best team in the nfc right now. Hope deals can get back into that and we We move up to nfc and another great game. Hope you guys watch was the bears And the patriots the patriots keep rolling just finding ways to win I mean, I don't think they were great to the day they had two special teams touchdowns Which obviously we know a madden or devastating in real life. They're even more devastating So but I mean the bears look good. They have a young quarterback and that's really what it's about Man, if you had ever been quarterback, they can make plays It's really something that can uh propel your team You have a young quarterback that you're not paying a lot of money So you can go ahead and pay the colomax you can pay the alan roversons You can pay all these new free agents to come to your team and go ahead and perform And that's something the bears are dealing with right now And I mean, it's great for them. See if they can keep rolling. See if they can sneak in the playoffs I think the wild card is going to be a mess between the panthers Obviously the falcons trying to fight back into it Obviously we have the packers vikings Boom and then the nce slot between the cowboys and the redskins and the eagles So the wild card is going to be crazy. I think either the packers or the vikings will take a wild card spot Then you got to kind of look to the nfc south. I mean, that's that's pretty much one of those two teams is going to take one Whether it be the the panthers or the falcons at the falcons can get rolling again But it's pretty much the rams and the saints and then the packers vikings And hopefully the eagles can get back in the nfc east afc Patriots and the chiefs Patriots and the chiefs are just on a collision course, but don't sleep On the san diego chargers Philip rivers i've said this on twitter before philip rivers is probably one of the most underrated players in nfl in the last 10 years last 10 to 20 years Philip rivers has just been over there in san diego or los angeles wherever the hell the chargers are at philip rivers has just been there balling on the low and this is another year They just continues to kill So i'm really really interested to see on what the chargers can do this year Melvin goran has been one of the top five backs in nfl very slept on running back to i don't know why The chargers are so slept on i mean i guess like i said, they're out there in a real city Or they're playing second fiddle now to the rams. I've heard rumors. They're not building fans out there in la But that's definitely probably if you want to power rank the afc I'm between the the ravens and the chargers as prior to the third team Obviously the patriots and the the chiefs are really destined to collide in the asc championship Because those are probably the two best teams in afc. So that's pretty much how week seven looked Boom so speaking of the chargers, we're gonna go to what would a man player do and we're we're going to go down here Start with the chargers game. I'm pretty much going to circle this whole segment around going for two Because going for two was a big a big part of the uh Other gameplay this weekend. We saw the game in london between the chargers and the titans I don't I don't know if y'all saw that. I know it was early the london games speaking of london games The eagles have the jaguars this week in the london game at 9 a.m. You got to wake up to watch it So the titans played the chargers And this comes up all the time when i'm playing in the stream playing at home playing around friends Wherever it may be The titans go down the field They're down by seven They go down the field. Boom scored a touch down. It's like 30 seconds left And mike rabble said after the game if it was under 40 seconds left, they would go ahead and try for the two-point conversion What happens is they go for the two-point conversion get a holding penalty. So now the two-point conversion actually hit the one yard line Now they go for a two-point conversion to win the game Tells me one. I don't think I can win this game in overtime Now you guys watch me play all the time On twitch and if you don't make sure you hit the follow on twitch or check out the youtube where i definitely Record a lot of gameplays and put them up The only time i'll go for two if i honestly feel like i don't have a chance of winning the game in overtime If i feel like i'm better than the team or i can outplay them i will always try to extend the game as long as possible So for me to go for two i have to have the thought in my mind I'm going to lose this game if it goes to overtime Now i don't know necessarily how that translates into the nfl But for me personally, that's what i think the only way i go for two one I have to have a play that's very highly successful because i don't want an entire 60 minute game Or a 70 minute game coming down to one play You know you work all week and you do all this work, you know all this preparation all this game plan You come out here and execute for 60 minutes and you're going to ask your team to put this whole entire week down to one play On me personally, i'm a great man player. I feel like i'm better than everybody i'm playing I don't know if the titans feel like they're better than everybody they're playing But if they're competitors and they've gotten this far in athletics, they always feel like they're better than who they're playing So to me it's like If i'm better than them let's extend the game and the game was only 20 to 20 It's not like it was a super shootout where it's all about the coin toss They could have got a stop but they decided to go for two Boom they didn't get the two they ran a little goofy play fake screen made mario to make a read and i honestly I really think the chargers played good defense They played a little zone and really boxed up that play So you got to tip your head to the chargers. They really stopped to play But like i said, Mike rabble brought it all down to one play and for me That's only if i feel like i'm gonna lose to this team over time if you feel like you can win extend the game longer The last example i'm gonna give you two point conversion. We all watched money night football We had to because they put they continue to put the giants on Monday night football god bless them I mean, I I guess people want to watch odell play Oh, I say seguan is worth the price of admission, but until they get a new quarterback New quarterback in there in new york then there's going to be a slop show every time But The biggest thing with two point conversions with the giants was the giants were down 14 points This is the fourth quarter games dwindling down I'm probably five minutes left. I'm not sure exactly how much time was left, but it's definitely the fourth quarter under 10 minutes And the giants are down 14 The giants scored a touchdown. I believe It wasn't it wasn't old though Barkley scored a touchdown they rushed the ball of the middle seguan barkley scored a touchdown boom So now they're down eight Yes, they're down eight points the actual point will put them down seven. So boom they're down another seven for a touchdown Oh, excuse me So what happens is pat schermer former eagle assistant offensive guy says, you know, we're going to go for two now the eagles did this I think two weeks ago as the minnesota vikings down 14 fourth quarter you scored touchdown. Let's go for two Now when you go for two down eight Or down 14 scored touchdown go for two you got a way to positively negative The negative is we don't get this boom.  I'm either going to be down eight or going to be down six Now if you don't get it, I always I've talked to you guys a million times about I always prepare for the worst I hope for the best, but I prepare for the worst. So the worst is I'm down eight The worst is my two point conversion play did not work. So for me to tie this game. I'm going to need another two point conversion play So if they're playing the odds, I think two point conversions like 60 good If they're playing the odds one of those two two point conversion plays will work If you didn't get the first time you're damn sure better get the second time to win the game or tie the game But if you get it the first time, which is what you're hoping if you're pat sharmer or your duck peterson Or your man player home if you get it the first time boom Now i'm only down six now I get my stop get the ball back Boom now I can go head down a field score a touchdown kick the extra point and win the game So it's definitely something that nfl coaches are really looking at this chart They're looking at analytics a lot more into saying If my two point conversion play is 60 good Then I will get one of these two two point conversions If it's the first one good then I can win the game when I get the ball back If it's not the first one, then I'm guaranteed to get the second one because I just got to play the percentages Then I'll tie the game up and go to overtime So it's just something you got to see Coaches really paying more attention to analytics and the numbers and playing the percentage I see a lot of old school people really upset about oh, it's stupid to go over two You saw uh booker mcfarland on the cast the other night was definitely really Upset with past shimmer for going ahead and going for two there I kind of like the call. It's not something that I would say is the right thing to do But I certainly understand the logic behind it As it pertains to madden I don't you would need to have a really good two point play I don't I don't think there's a two point play in the game that's going to work 60 percent of the time You know, it's tough to make a read down there. It's tough to run in and rely on at 60 percent of the time But it's definitely something that if I'm in that position I might think about doing from here on out from mad And you know if you're down 14 in the fourth quarter score touchdown go for two You know because you're going to get the ball back you want to play defense get the ball back Now you have an opportunity to win the game on an extra point or if you don't get that too Just have another opportunity to try to get that too So it's definitely a debate. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer for that And I don't think there's a right or wrong answer for going for two to win the game But that's just my thought behind it Let me know what you guys think in the comment section below When you guys will go for two if you like mike rabble going for two to win the game If your team went for two to win the game, would you like it? The last time the eagles did it They were out of the playoff race and it was like the last game of the season So obviously if you're out of the playoff race is definitely something I would love to do Especially in london. I mean the nfl shawm Brings the game and and open it up worldwide. You want to see exciting finish like that But that concludes what would a man player do going for two is is always something that You know should should have something in the back pocket. I know problem when a man challenged from having the best two-point play It really it really was something that propelled him I believe in man 12 or man 13 whenever he just snapped and do a rocket catch to the slot And it really was a big weapon for him to go ahead and win that man challenge But work on them two-point plays boys because they're gonna come down to they're gonna come down to be a big Part of your game. They were a big part of nfl this weekend and that's why how to break down What would a man player do so in conclusion Had a good time watching arizona club series man. It was some great man I love watching man. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I don't know which since you said they cancelled the vikings I don't know which one is the next one But we'll certainly talk about whatever club series happens this weekend or next weekend Also on the horizon the mud head league. I believe this is mud head season six Not sure it's either five or six. I'm pretty sure it's six Because I think kiv 1 1 skimbo in a moment won the last three So I think it's season six. That's coming up on your radar I will be competing in that because it's from home. I feel comfortable. I don't want to go any live events But i'm definitely going to compete in mud head season six. I believe So that's going to be something else we can talk about in the podcast So I really hope I really appreciate you guys checking it out Whether you're on twitch or youtube or audio servers, whatever you may be on I really appreciate you guys checking it out and i'm out of here


Parker Ewing spent a sleepless night due to dental pain. In the morning, he drove to a local urgent care clinic so that he could be examined and get a medication to stop the pain. He came away frustrated and dissatisfied with their treatment suggestion, which was an over-the-counter pain medicine, a setaminophen. The physician noted that there was a dental emergency clinic nearby and perhaps Mr. Ewing could get some relief there. He proceeded to the clinic. The dentist there immediately reviewed Mr. Ewing's dental history and performed a limited oral evaluation, followed by a panoramic radiograph to gain an understanding of the patient's oral condition and any sources of pain, including infection. Dr. Tappell addressed Mr. Ewing about his situation. Mr. Ewing, let's talk about the results of my examination and your radiographs. Great. Can you help me? I'm in a lot of pain. I'll do my best, Mr. Ewing. I've found that you have multiple decayed teeth, but especially three problem teeth on the upper left part of your mouth that may be causing the pain. There is also some likely chronic infection in that area. Now, I believe that those three teeth need to be extracted because they cannot be restored. I really don't think there's an alternative to removing them. There is simply not enough tooth structure remaining due to the condition of advanced decay. From an options perspective, I don't really see any other options available. Okay. I'm all for removing them. If it'll get rid of the pain, I'll do it. All right. If you agree, we can do the work today. No. I can't do it today. I have to be at work in about an hour. Could we schedule for tomorrow? Unfortunately, I'm afraid our appointment schedule is full tomorrow. But we have walk-in hours available from 8 to 10 a.m. Well, that doesn't work for me. I guess I'll have to figure out some other way to deal with this. You at least have to give me some pain meds. I can hardly stand this. What I'd recommend is that you take 600 milligrams of ibuprofen every six hours. And if there's any breakthrough pain, I'd recommend that you alternate with the acetaminophen as your physician prescribed. No, no, no. You have to give me some pain pills. That over-the-counter stuff just doesn't work for me. Mr. Ewing, we'd like to use ibuprofen because it has the anti-inflammatory properties that would help control the pain right now. And research has shown us that the pain control effects of combining ibuprofen with acetaminophen is highly effective and beneficial. Look, the only thing that worked for me at all was some pills my wife had left over when she had some back surgery. It was trichodin or bicodin, something like that. Was it perhaps bicodin with a V? That sounds right. Yeah, bicodin. Those worked. Those are what I need. I hear your concern. Bicodin just isn't indicated right now because it lacks the anti-inflammatory effects of the ibuprofen. And your pain will diminish greatly once you're able to have those teeth extracted. Okay, fine. I just wasted 99 bucks with you people. I am in pain. I need pain pills, and none of you will get me relief. This is malpractice.  Mr. Ewing, the V covered the examination and the X-ray so I could diagnose what your problem was. Fine. I guess I'll just have to go somewhere else to get this pain treated the right way. I came here for help and you give me nothing. What are the ethical and professional issues raised by this scenario? You may pause the video to consider this question. Let's look at a few possibilities that may have occurred to you. You may pause the video after each possible solution to consider the implications of each option. Should Dr. Tappell refuse to prescribe the narcotic and, as kindly as possible, dismiss the patient, refuse to prescribe the narcotic if she suspects the patient is a substance abuser and discuss these concerns with the patient, try to calm down the patient and convince him to take the over-the-counter anti-inflammatory and analgesic and have him return to the clinic early the next morning, prescribe the narcotic but only enough for one to two days asking the patient to return for treatment, check the prescription drug registry or monitoring program to access the patient's prescription drug history to investigate any concern of abuse. Now let's look at a few contributing factors as you weigh what is important in your considerations. Wanting to help a patient that is in genuine pain. The obligation to attend to dental emergencies. The possibility that the patient is drug-seeking. The patient's judgment and decision-making may be clouded by the intensity of legitimate pain. Not wanting to become the local narcotics dealer and have your reputation suffer. Many dental practitioners face ethical dilemmas such as this one on any given day. Anticipating how you might deliberate to find a suitable resolution to any such dilemma is good preparation and can aid each practitioner to find appropriate solutions to the challenges they sometimes must face.


Greetings to everyone tuning in around the world, I'm Rebecca Blumenstein with the New York Times and I'm very happy to be here with Mark Benioff, the CEO and Chairman of Salesforce for the past 22 years, which is quite an impressive run. Mark, Salesforce has played a key role in the pandemic. You've enabled remote work and business and you're also known as, in many ways, the original activist CEO, which has been a big topic around the World Economic Forum these days. I'd love to start with that, especially, you know, over the past week, given the controversy here in the United States about Georgia and the restrictive voting rules that were passed, it's kind of reignited what the role of companies should be. What is your stand on that legislation? Well, my stand, Rebecca, is, you know, that voting is the foundation of our democracy and everyone is entitled to their vote. And we should encourage and have everyone legally voting as often as possible in these elections so that our democracy can continue. I think that's extremely important. And so I'm in favor of the activism. I think it's important that these companies and these individuals realize that they have a voice and that companies do have a role in making a statement. And I'm all for what the Major League Baseball did. They made a clear statement that they don't support it. They gave it a thumbs down. And of course, Salesforce gave it the same thumbs down before the vote happened. Have you been involved in trying to convince other CEOs to take a more active stand, both in Georgia and in other, on other issues? Well, I think you know that I believe business is the greatest platform for change. I believe that CEOs really have an opportunity using their businesses to improve society. And that could be directly make it a commentary to politicians or building great products or making sure that their companies are net zero. I think in all of those cases, business are improving the state of the world. Do you think, I think at least in the US business community, there was a hope and a rich lesser who we both know the CEO of Boston Consulting Group was quoted in the Times this week saying that there have been some who thought that hope this would become easier after Trump. But in many ways, workforces, people are getting more activists, companies are being held to higher account and it's getting harder. How do you view this? I think a lot of people did think that post Trump that the role of business would become clearer. Well, I look at it more about the employees. And when I look at our own company and when we've had to take certain activist roles like we've done in Indiana, for example, many years ago now, it's really driven by the employees.  It's not me. It's really I'm just acting on behalf of my employees. They make a case and you know, I were one team where I'm not making a some unilateral decision. It's I'm trying to take their voice and their energy and channel it as as they want me to. And I think employees today are really the true activists. So you can see that in your newsroom. You can see it in your industry. You can see it in my industry where the employees have a voice and a role and say are able to say things and have action in ways that maybe previously they could not. And that's really where we are. And to that point, CEOs have a responsibility to listen to their employees and then act on their behalf. And I think in the case of Indiana, where there was laws being signed that constrained and started to discriminate against the LGBTQ community, you know, our employees said to me, Hey, Mark, you have a responsibility to go out there and use now the power of the company that collectively we have and have it changed. And of course, we negotiated with the governor and we have that law changed. We found a mutual resolution and you can see that in lots of places in the world in the United States, but also in other countries, that companies can have a role in shaping policy and expressing their pleasure or displeasure with certain policies. So are we getting closer to to what's known as stakeholder capitalism?  Do you do you see this leading to a meaningful change ultimately and in how capitalism works? Well, it came out of the World Economic Forum and the founder here, Klaus Schwab was currently the chairman of the World Economic Forum really conceptualized and evangelized this idea that companies must be about all stakeholders and also their shareholders.   And it's not the idea that I had when I went to business school back in the 80s. You know, this is a relatively new idea. And it's an idea that has a lot more traction today than it's ever had. And when I talked to CEOs, they're able to operate for all stakeholders. And in some cases, they become exactly as you said, theoretical activist CEOs, but really they're just saying, hey, on behalf of all of our stakeholders, we think that this company needs to take this action or this action or this action. In the case of MLB baseball, you saw this week, they basically said, we're moving the game, because we don't think this supports all stakeholders. So this is a powerful motion in business. And I encourage it. And I think that everyone has to be a part of improving the state of the world, including companies, CEOs and their employees. So you think in a sense, all of these moves are part, part and parcel of a growing stakeholder capitalism movement. Well, one of the most exciting things that happened this year, Rebecca is the World Economic Forum's IBC, which is their International Business Committee, which is 200 of the top CEOs in the world basically decided that they were going to begin to be fully transparent in what is, I would say, 22 well established metrics or KPI is kind of key performance indicators in their companies that they have never published before. And of course, companies publish their revenue and profits and they're audited by these big four accounting firms, you know that and you look at those reports, but those reports don't include things like emissions or pay equality or community investment and a couple dozen other key KPIs. And these CEOs for the first time in business history have standardized on these 22 well established metrics. And now the four accounting firms have agreed to publish them and audit them. This is a big moment. But if you connect it back to what you were just talking about, what it means is that we're moving more towards stakeholder capitalism, because these things are really stakeholder issues, they're not just pure financial metrics, they are about all stakeholders. And that is very exciting. And that's a new moment in business. So, so today, Jeff Bezos made headlines here in the United States when he called for an increase in the in the corporate income tax to support President Biden's infrastructure plan. That's almost a classic, you know, you know, squaring off of the two interests here, like traditional shareholder interests would would not would not allow for supportive such a move. Do you do you also support an increase in the corporate tax rate? Well, I think you saw several years ago, Salesforce, advocated aggressively and helped get passed and even through the Supreme Court, a tax rate in San Francisco of a very small percentage of our revenue designed to support the homeless. The homelessness became a major issue in San Francisco. And so we advocated for Proposition C. And that has passed. And now that generates about $30 million a month in additional services for the homeless in San Francisco, we felt it was starting to impede our ability to be successful. So we advocated for an additional tax. I think of the case where businesses believe like you just said with Amazon, and I think Salesforce also believes this as well, that it's appropriate to have increased taxes that they should advocate for those taxes, and they should make the case why that is. And I think in the case of the United States, we probably do need revisions and have conversations about what our tax rates should be, but we also have to balance that against the United States's ability and need to be competitive in the world. So whatever that final tax rate is, it needs to be set in a competitive framework. So are you are you agreeing with Bezos on this or saying that you think that you that you would support a general, you know, a general push to look at this with fresh eyes? I'm I'm in favor of looking at it with a beginner's mind and saying let's look at the tax rates and let's let's find the correct number. And let's have a conversation and do it together. And so mostly I would say I'm in favor of what Jeff is saying. But at the same time, I'm also saying let's also do it in the framework of competitiveness and global competitiveness. So the environment is obviously something that you're very committed to as a leader and as a company. Salesforce is is already net zero and you've called on all other businesses to get to net zero. How realistic is that? I mean, it's a little easier for a cloud computing company than say General Motors or some heavily emitting industries. I think it's very realistic. I think that companies today, all companies have the ability to become net zero companies, I think all countries have the ability to be net zero countries. We just saw Prime Minister Sue Gower doing this under the auspices of Japan calling and saying that he was going to accelerate Japan's push to become a net zero country. I'm very grateful to him for doing that. I think climate change and the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is the number one issue in the world. Today, we need to do four things in regards that we need to reduce emissions, we need to sequester and get the 200 gigatons of carbon that we've put out into the environment since the first industrial revolution out of the environment, we need to educate people on how their behavior and their diets impact the amount of CO2 in the environment. And we need new innovations to achieve all of that and to hit these major goals. Personally, I'd like to see a broad effort to sequester 100 or 200 gigatons of carbon out of the atmosphere. It's one of the reasons why I found it two years ago at the World Economic Forum, 1T.org, which is the one trillion tree initiative. The idea that we're going to plant one trillion trees to sequester a couple hundred gigatons. And another reason why I'm so grateful that Canada just joined that effort. And so they're going to plant two billion trees because we know that whether it's reforestation or other key things that we can do in the environment, we can make major impacts on the amount of CO2 that we are currently moderating against. You were successful in getting President Trump to sign on to support this initiative, which many people felt at the time would be impossible to do. How important do you see your role as a CEO in terms of trying to make climate, you know, less of a partisan issue than it's become? Well, I think that climate is our number one issue. And I think when we look out at the next 20 years, like we just heard from that fabulous video, we have all these amazing new technologies. How can we use it to improve the situation in the climate? And when we look at the climate, we see that, you know, there's a need to change how we're interacting with the environment that we have to reduce the amount of CO2 that we're putting out there. So we have to look at basically four types of carbons, if you will. There's green carbon trees, like I just mentioned, this idea of planting one trillion trees, we used to have six trillion trees on the planet. Now we have three trillion trees, each trillion trees sequesters 200 gigatons of carbon. So as we reduced from six trillion trees to three trillion trees, we, you know, basically released 600 gigatons of carbon. That carbon basically gets either absorbed into the soils, they absorb about 3000 gigatons of carbon, or the oceans and the oceans sequester about 20,000 gigatons of carbon. That's why the oceans are getting hotter, because they're pulling more of that carbon down. So we need to look at how are we going to add more trees? How are we going to nurture the soils or maybe move to regenerative soils or no till farming to sequester more carbon? How we're going to create more environments in the ocean, whether it's through mangroves or seagrasses to sequester more CO2 in the ocean successfully, or new kinds of great carbon where we even have technology like the technology being built, for example, in Switzerland by Climorx to create great carbon, be able to actually remove it from the atmosphere and turn it into blocks of to be used for construction or buried in the ground. But that idea that there's four types of carbon, green, blue, brown, gray, that we need to put together a portfolio of that carbon, that's, you know, what I'm thinking about. And I've been inspired by a lot of companies who are using fourth industrial technology, like we just heard about maybe things like artificial intelligence, where we can see that they are able to like, have clarity on where the biodiversity is on the planet, and either how to conserve it, or how to mitigate it, or how to get corporations or, or even countries to say, okay, we're going to protect this because this is going to be our carbon bank. This is really a moment where we have the ability to do all of those things. So ahead of the climate talks this fall, I had the honor of interviewing Secretary Kerry soon after he started his role as the US climates are, you know, there was a broad consensus that business needs to do more. Aside from the WEF goals, would you support businesses committing to new pledges to become net zero or to more aggressively tackle climate change and many of them are now? Well, absolutely. And I think that the United States having a key administration official dedicated to the environment is an incredible first step. And that idea that businesses have to be part of the solution. I, of course, I'm going to fully agree with that. And I think that technology and next generation companies also have to be part of that solution. I've been very impressed, for example, with the work of a company called Sylvia Terra, who's taken AI and biometricians to really be able to look at maps generated by companies like Planet Labs to say, here is where the carbon can be stored or here is where biodiversity is that needs to be protected. And then for companies to come in and say, we're going to pay for that conservation or for that growth or for that enhanced biodiversity or for companies like Heliogen, who are kind of building next generation solar systems that are, you know, architected and managed by graphical processing units to create green hydrogen that there's these next generation capabilities that we can really harness to be able to deliver this climate solution that we're all looking for. I'd like to talk about the pandemic and how it's changed the world and the very nature of work. You know, Salesforce actually benefited to a certain extent by this sudden rush to, you know, to do so much work remotely. How much do you think work has changed for good? And you've announced some pretty aggressive plans yourself that that, you know, really a small fraction of your workforce is going to be coming back to the office for five days a week. Well, last year, I've been working it out of my home and that's where I am right now. And I've been trying to mix start to mix back in going to the office, which I've done a number of times. And I've even started to in person customer events. I was just in Singapore, and I was able to meet with customers and also have an event and present to them like I would normally do in my business. And last week at Washington DC, I actually was able to go to Washington DC and present to customers who was outdoors. Unfortunately, it was raining. But we had to do it outdoors to be safe. And but I did I was presenting to customers in the United States in a live event. For me, that was a milestone that we were kind of back getting back gradually. And you mentioned Secretary Kerry, I went and saw him at the State Department and I walked through the State Department but I realized when I was there, most people are still working from home, you know, that it's still very much a work from home environment. So that's actually a bit of a metaphor for me that we're all still very much at home, we're slowly gradually coming back, some people who are vaccinated can come back to work, people who are using testing environments aggressively, can have events, and can come back to work like I did last week. And we're gonna have to find our way into a new normal. Now, does that mean that I'm gonna get rid of my fancy camera and computer here that I have in my home and then I'm gonna only work in the office? No, it doesn't. I'm going to continue to take the skills here that I've learned how to use in this environment and continue to use them in the future. And I will mix that with my physical environments, whether it's in person events or in person meetings in my offices around the world that I'll bring it all together as one integrated working strategy that I'll that I'll do both. And I didn't have these skills before I didn't even have this nice camera that I have plugged into my computer and, you know, there's nobody here in the studio helping me I'm all by myself doing this just like you are. And this is a skill that I have I'm planning to use this call you know work from home skill. And that's also why Salesforce has entered into an agreement to buy slack because we believe that all of our products have to become work from home first. And so that will be a major strategic motion we also build a product called Salesforce anywhere so that our customers can be successful from anywhere and sell from anywhere service from anywhere market from anywhere conduct commerce from anywhere collaborate from anywhere. And so we're in a new world and Salesforce is going to be a leader in that world I want to pioneer these new models myself and I'm very excited about getting back into the new into the new world and out of the out of the pandemic. So my colleague Kevin Ruse has written a book about the the push to automation which many feel has accelerated you know we're we've literally been an environment where companies are rethinking human contact. And and as we use AI more and and and really get this downstream into into business do you worry about the the impact on workers who could be displaced as a result of this some say that that basically years of work has been accelerated by the pandemic toward automation. Well I think that we know that you know we have new types of software new types of hardware new types of robotic and there's going to be you know growth in automation and growth in you know certain types of jobs that are going to be automated. At the same time there's growth in new jobs and new capabilities. It's one of the reasons that Salesforce created a service called trailhead.com to help reskill millions of workers into new types of digital high value jobs because we know that workers need to move from maybe what jobs were to what jobs need to be. And of course that's constantly happening through history technology is moving forward it's constantly getting lower cost it's constantly getting easier to use. But workers need to be reskilled and we can use technology to reskill workers and enter them into this new world. So as the US for example reopens and we see jobs come back and unemployment figures turn into employment figures. There's going to be some jobs that are not coming back. In those cases those workers need to be reskilled and and really guided and helped into new positions and that's a role that Salesforce wants to play and be very important part of. Also during the pandemic we've seen the tech companies your company and many of the other giants get even bigger and more powerful. You've come out pretty strongly in favor of more stringent regulation of tech especially the social media platforms. You famously compared Facebook to to smoking the news to being the new cigarette what is your view of of the best way to do this and do you think it's going to happen quickly. Well technology has moved so quickly I don't think everyone realizes the power of artificial intelligence of the power of this information. Technology maybe they saw for the first time this year in social media the impact of this technology or bought so even on an election but it's happening every day in every facet of our life whether we realize it's happening or not. And there are certain moments where the government needs to come in and revise and enhance regulations that no longer apply or you still apply and now no longer apply and that's something that I've been advocating now for several years exactly like you mentioned that the government needs to become more active and more aggressive in the regulation of these companies and what is happening and I think it's happened a little too slowly for my taste and I think that society as in some parts of society specifically have been damaged because governments have not moved quickly enough and there's been not enough regulation and new regulation written to kind of support the new world that we're in today. Do you think Facebook and Google are doing enough to combat disinformation they say they're trying but you know does it take you know them being subject to article 230 some real changes in the law to make them actually legally liable? Well I certainly called for that law to be looked at and enhanced or changed or for it for that whole section of law to evolve that's been important to me I also believe that while those companies have made some changes and enhance some of their policies which I think is more than appropriate I don't think that any of them have gone far enough and I think there's plenty of examples where they just have not been aggressive we're pulling those companies into the future they should be pulling us and they should be not protecting their old revenue models but instead they need to be aggressively going after how they're going to protect us as their users as society that should be their primary point of view that's true stakeholder capitalism not just focusing on your shareholder but focusing on all of your stakeholders and one of your key stakeholders is society and even your users and the structure you know that you're existing in so only focusing on your business model which is I think how a lot of those companies have been behaving was completely inappropriate and they need to pivot to supporting all of their stakeholders and protecting us and as an example some of them now have products like you mentioned Facebook's just for children and these technologies targeted and pointed towards children well that's where I think things have to cross the line you say that has to stop and that's why I'm such a supporter of the work and policies have been advocated by common sense media because they have really said hey when you're going after children you need to protect them and not turn them into your product but that is what is happening at Facebook so our time is quickly passing I have two last quick questions probably but your own future Jeff Bezos has given up the CEO title some have said that you have a worthy successor in Brett Taylor do you have any plans to make a change to your own status anytime soon well I mean Rebecca I every year that I've been the CEO of Salesforce I get that question you know that's what common interview question for a CEO and all I can tell you is I'm here and very excited I've never been more excited about the future of Salesforce it's been an amazing 22 years of Salesforce and I think the next 22 years for Salesforce will be even more amazing finally you brought time magazine I thought you were going to say that but you bought time magazine which is in the process of issuing NFTs and doing some business in Bitcoin you've become a you know a believer in those technologies I assume well I think you have to look at Bitcoin and NFTs and cryptocurrencies as an exciting part of the future it's really incredible technology at Salesforce we've been using them for years we've built those blockchain technologies deeply into our platform we've helped customers provide everything from transparent food networks so that consumers can see exactly how their food was delivered to helping sneaker companies automate their supply chains and making sure that they're not zero all using the blockchain you know now I think when you look at the next generation of blockchain killer apps of course Bitcoin is a killer app for the blockchain another killer app for the blockchain is NFT well for media companies it's an exciting monetization capability for their digital assets and for time magazine you can see how they have now been able to turn quite a few of their covers into NFTs and I'm confident that there'll be a number of other amazing cover opportunities coming for collectors of time magazine in the future and it's exciting to work with those collectors to offer them products like the NFT versions of Salesforce time covers so that they can add those to their collections maybe we should add to some Salesforce covers in there too Mark thank you so much for a fast New York Times covers too Rebecca so thank you we appreciate that thank you take care
