Yeah, well, Dick's, I mean, very well-known company, but they had a computational error that overstated their EBITDA by $23 million. It's interesting. Hain, today, finally looks like the light at the end of the tunnel. They're talking about the SEC, that potential wrap-up. I don't think they should have said that. You never know when things are going to wrap up and the SEC doesn't like that. But I wonder if the SEC is not going to come in and say, okay, listen, we need to know, Dick, how this happened, and that this presents a cloud over the stock of Dick's for some time. By the way, Dick sells Under Armour. One of the call-outs in the Kohl's call that I like was that Under Armour's selling quite well there, as is Nike. Kohl's needs more brands. I do believe that their divan is the safest of the ones we're talking about.


The International Atomic Energy Agency's General Conference has been running in Vienna this week. The annual meeting is a chance for all member states to discuss key nuclear issues and learn more about the impact of the agency's work. We contribute to international peace and security by verifying the nuclear material remains in peaceful uses. And we help to improve the well-being and prosperity of the people of the world through the peaceful use of nuclear technology. Thousands of participants from over 150 countries spent the week sharing knowledge and passing resolutions to set the direction for the agency's work. In nuclear science, safety and security, energy, safeguards and technical cooperation. We were able to see the different good practices of other countries that can also be an open door to our country. I would say that other member states should not miss the great opportunity to acquire these experiences of seeing. It's been a great success. We've had over 2,500 participants, 90 side events, 45 exhibitors and it's a green meeting for the third time, eco-labelled. So we're very happy. The main side event was the two-day scientific forum on improving access to radiotherapy and nuclear medicine for cancer care. Participants at the other side events learned about the technology used by safeguards inspectors, options for managing spent fuel, ways to increase the ranks of women in the industry and much more. Attendees also took advantage of the many networking opportunities such as an event to bring together young people working in nuclear science in Africa. If we don't engage young people into the field of nuclear we won't be able to replenish the professional ranks and the academic ranks within nuclear and so these types of events are very important. The next major IAEA conference will be in October on climate change and the role of nuclear power.


This is Alex Gertz, K-A-R-R News. We have a reliable report. This is Situation Room Control. We have a secure transmission from Room 2. Is the Attorney General there? Somebody! The Situation Room experience is incredible. Wonderful. Extraordinary. Phenomenal. Intense. Amazing. Transformative. Powerful. The Situation Room experience is the ultimate team building exercise. Here you can experience something that looks, feels and acts like a real crisis without the consequences. We haven't shared it yet. No, we haven't. It is a modern fictional foreign policy crisis. We'll take some additional questions after this.  And it allows you to play a role. I was the Secretary of State. And I was the Deputy Press Secretary. My role was a digital correspondence. It really hones into all the different types of skill sets that make a leader. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You have to make decisions in real time. We have one minute to make a decision. This isn't just about you, but it really is relying on your teammates and you get into that role right away. And you can learn so much in terms of how well you do communicate. You take one question at a time. There's so many decisions to be made. It forces you to think critically. So there's a couple of options. We need to respond. The experience is more than a team building exercise.  It's a kind of experience you're never going to get from some kind of lecture. You get to make the decisions, fail, succeed, all in the space of this historical situation room. This is the real situation room. You can touch it, you can feel it. I feel privileged and honored to be able to sit around the same space as nine other former presidents. It gives me chills. Once you're in this room and the door is shut, you're in the White House and you're making decisions as if you are a government official in the middle of a very dangerous crisis. As a leader, if you're looking at developing your staff in a high level of skill sets across the board, the situation will be delivered for you. It's the most interactive experience that you can have for leadership or communication or group decision-making. Taking a team to the situation room allows you to invest in your company and in your future.


And for my first impression of the Peg 36, how did it actually perform? Specs are great, but how did it actually feel on my feet? Here we go, the moment we've all been waiting for, the Nike Pegasus 36. First impression, I have not run indie shoes ever before, so this is my initial gut reaction right now as to how they feel on feet. Let's rock and roll. Here we go. All right. Oh, man. All right. I'm feeling the drop, feeling the drop in the shoe. It's a very comfortable upper. And the fit, I went true to size. It's feeling a little narrow in the heel, but I like that kind of nice, tight fit through the heel and the toe box, no scrunching up there in the toe box. But yeah, just a little, little tight in the heel, which is fine with me. I'll have to examine that heel counter a little bit as we proceed on. All right, let's go get this running. On these first impression vlogs, I always carry my phone with me just to take notes to make sure I don't forget some of the details that are popping out for how this shoe is feeling because it's the first time and I don't want to miss anything. So anyway, I'm going to take a few notes right now, and this will be very helpful for back in the shoe to you. All right, here we go. Let's see. Upper is feeling lighter. All right, got the notes. Let's go. And it's good to be back. Oh, my goodness. So everyone that's new, welcome. Just so you know, I'm coming off of a six week injury where I wasn't able to run for six weeks and I haven't been able to do a first impression or a full review of any running shoe for six weeks. It was breaking my heart. But finally, today was the day to get back into it and, yes, give you my first impressions of the Pegasus 36 keyword for this vlog is Pegasus.  And what happens is people hit up the keyword down in the comments basically to help get the conversation going about the topic for today. And yes, today we're talking about this shoe. Just so you know, this is not my full review of the Pegasus 36. I always put 50 miles, at least 50 miles into a running shoe. Before I give you my full review, I feel like I get a good grasp on how the shoe is performing after 50 miles. So just want to make that clear. And yes, if you like the style and the energy and the goodness and beauty of this vlog, make sure you hit that subscribe button by the end of this video. And my first impressions of the Nike Pegasus 36. So you should first know it's neutral. All right, so everyone out there that needs a stability running shoe. This is not for you. It is pretty loosey-goosey. All right, through that midsole, it's medium cushion. So it's not maximalist and it's not minimalist. Remember, we broke down the differences in that vlog upper right hand corner and it's a road shoe. However, you saw me today running on grass, running on really hard, packed down dirt. It does just fine on the transition between pavement concrete. And I know this because of the Pegasus 35 from last year. But this outsole pattern is actually, I would say, a little on the aggressive side with respect to road running shoes. You could easily take this out on a buffed out trail or a buffed out bike path like I was on today. So no worries there. All right, moving on to this midsole. It's a 10 millimeter drop. So a little higher on the scale as far as daily trainers is concerned. I prefer the six to eight range, but we'll take it. 10 is OK. So it's a 28 millimeter stack height in the heel, 18 millimeter in the forefoot. I would love to see that four foot at 20, which would make the shoe an eight millimeter drop as opposed to 10. But again, we will take it. My size is coming in at eight point three or eight point four ounces. So I think size nine is coming in at about nine point nine ounces in men's. And you should know in grams here it is in grams in my size. There it is on your screen and by far. Now, listen, this is not my comparison video. We're going to do some running shoe battle videos very soon. Now that I am back to running, I'm not going to compare the 36 to the 35 too much tonight, but I do just have to say that the upper has had a pretty big transformation from the Pegasus 35 specifically with the tongue. Oh, my goodness. So the tongue rest is right here. It sits right on the top of your foot. It is much, much, much thinner than the Pegasus 35. You see it there on your screen, which does, I believe, create a little more breathability. However, through right through the top of your foot. However, remember the issues I had with the Nike Vemaro 14? I had pain on the top of my foot. I think the tongue on the Vemaro 14 could be a little longer or taller and also just a little bit more cushion. I'm OK with a little more cushion through that through the tongue of a running shoe. So this tongue on the Pegasus 36 is reminding me a lot of the Vemaro 14. So I'm hoping that after 50 miles, I don't feel any pain through the top of my foot because of a more thin tongue compared to the Pegasus 35. And through the rest of the upper, you're going to see a lot more perforations. In fact, am I pronouncing that correctly? I don't know. But basically a lot more holes through the upper to create again more breathability. And today in Denver, it was the warmest day of the year, 85 degrees so far in 2019. And I felt great with respect, like my feet didn't feel overheated or too warm at all today with this nice, nice update, a much more nimble and lighter upper overall through the toolbox and also just through the midfoot as well. And then I don't know if they change the flywire cables too too much from the Pegasus 35, they look a little longer. Actually, I'm liking them. I think they seem like they're just a little longer and probably a little better material used for those flywire cables for that nice lockdown feel over your midfoot. So good work there, Nike. I think so far so good with those flywire cables. And just so you know, there's recent updates to the Pegasus line up with this full zoom air unit through the midsole. And it felt it felt great today, nice and smooth. But it almost feels a little too bouncy or it needs to break in a little bit. Like my feet almost like there was a bubble underneath my foot, like ever ever so slightly. So that's just a first impression. I'm sure that will go away with more miles in the shoe. But just want to put that out there if it feels a little like bounce is good. But you don't want to feel like you're on a like a bouncy castle. You know what I mean? So anyway, but there is a full zoom air unit from heel to toe in this Nike Pegasus 36. As I already mentioned today, I went true to size and I'm liking it. I'm liking it a lot. So plenty of room for me through the forefoot. But again, I just think that the heel seems a little more narrow than the 35. If I felt it today again, need more time and maybe it's this heel counter. So what is that? That's the area right here in the back of your heel. There's this flare for your Achilles tendon. So your Achilles isn't rubbing on the so the back of the shoe, the heel counter isn't rubbing on your Achilles tendon. It's definitely a little taller than the 35, just so you know. But keep that in mind as you're trying on the Pegasus 36 at running shoe stores. If it feels a little narrow through your heel, you're not imagining it because I felt it today. Keep me posted though down in the comments if you're feeling that a little bit as well and for my first impression of the Peg 36, how did it actually perform? Specs are great, but how did it actually feel on my feet? So a couple of times I had to look down at my feet on the run and remind myself I was in the 36 because it felt very, very familiar, very similar, I should say, to the Pegasus 35, just so you know. So as far as major differences with respect to ride, I didn't feel much at all. Like I had to look down and be like, oh, yeah, OK, I'm in the Pegasus 36. And another first impression real quick is that I think it's going to take 15, 20, 25 miles to really break the shoe in, which kind of surprises me because Nike, I haven't had that experience in too many. Like the turbo definitely not like right out of the box, it was ready to go. But anyway, this guy I can sense it's just going to need a little time out on the roads, out on the the pack down dirt before it's really ready to rock and roll. And how will I use the Pegasus 36 in my running shoe rotation? Just like the Pegasus 35. Yes, I'm going to put it in the easy day or recovery day category. You could use it for a tempo day. You could use it for a long run shoe. But I just think there's there's better options out there for you. It's just going to be perfect for those four to eight mile runs where you're just kind of bopping along, you're just getting miles in, helping those legs recover to get ready for the next day. So that's how I'm going to use it. All right. Again, keyword is Pegasus and question of the day on the scale.  What is your interest in buying this shoe in 2019? All right. So one being not at all and ten being absolutely. I'm going to pick it up. Let us know down in the comments. And if you have time, let us know why as well. All right. Thank you so much for your patience. Once again, over the last 42 days or whatever long it was waiting for another running shoe, first impression and review is just I'm just I'm just floating. I'm so excited that we're back to this and then we can begin to test out many shoes for all of you moving forward. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. And again, if you like today's vlog, make sure you hit that subscribe button. We have a good time here on the YouTube. Seek beauty, work hard and love each other. Here we go.


They're almost to the point of literal determinism. They think that what you are, who you are, is shaped entirely from the outside. And whether they attribute credit to that, as our president does, that you didn't build that society, helped you build that, other people were there, etc., etc., that kind of collectivist mentality, when it turns into the self, the individual, the person, it becomes even more damaging. This is the idea, which another aspiring president, it takes a village concept. But you aren't really who you are. You aren't the sum of your choices. You aren't who you are because of yourself.  So people try to attack this idea. They say it's a myth. They try to look at statistics and say, how many people actually rise up from the bottom levels of poverty into the upper echelons of wealth? I say that's not the issue. There are some people, it's not statistically likely, but there is a lot of mobility in American society from one level of income to another, but that's not the issue. The issue is, what does it mean for the individual, and what are the conditions under which the individual can actually exercise this self-making? What is it about? What does it actually mean? So to give you some of the examples, I wanted to start today with what I think is probably the best example in American history of self-making, Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin's autobiography is a great example of the literature of self-making. His autobiography or what he used to call in his life, his memoirs, were a document that was very carefully constructed. In the version of an autobiography, of course, one of the great things that you have as an author is the ability to edit out the things that you don't like about your life and to promote the things that you do like about your life. And Franklin was very conscious of this. And his original conception of his memoirs was actually in a letter to his son to try to explain to his son where it was their family had come from, where Franklin had come from. So for those of you who may not know as much about Benjamin Franklin, the story is pretty inspiring. He was born in 1706 in Boston. He was the 10th of 10 children, imagine his poor mother, right? He was the 10th of 10 children. And his father originally had wanted him to go into the ministry. But the schooling to do so was too expensive. He had been in a Latin school and he had been in a basic grammar school, but he was pulled out by the time he was about nine or 10 because it was too expensive for the family after all with 10 children. This is quite an undertaking. And his father decided that the best path for young Benjamin in his life was to be apprenticed to his older brother. Basically to be sold into an indenture contract, to basically become an quasi-property of his brother who was running a print shop at the time. And then Benjamin Franklin would learn a trade, he would learn how to be a printer, and also subsequently because most of the print houses had a lot of the literature, the pamphlets that were being imported from Britain and things that were being written. He would learn how to be a writer as well. And Franklin took to this task, despite the friction that he had with his older brother who basically considered him something less than one of his hired laborers, because after all, young Benjamin couldn't get out of his labor contract. It was something his father had promised to his brother, that he would serve you for an X number of years and then you would release him into the world. Well, young Franklin and his older brother, who was quite a political radical at the time, started to come into conflict. The idea of how he was going to run his life was different from his older brothers, and eventually at the young age of 16, I believe, 15, 16, he decided, in secret, that he would run away and he went to Philadelphia. And he started his own business. He quickly rose through the ranks. He started publishing Poor Richard's Almanac, from which we get so many of the common phrases, early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, et cetera. Penny saved as a penny earned. All of these common stock phrases about self-improvement or about diligence and hard work probably come from Franklin, probably come from Poor Richard. He also published a number of newspaper articles. He had traveled to London. He had started to become more prominent. He had met with the governor of Pennsylvania. He was rising in the world. And then at the ripe old age of 42, because of his success as a publisher, he retired. And it was something to aspire to, to be so successful that you can sell your business to a partner and get residuals, basically, to get payments for your investment such that you can now support what becomes Franklin's next pursuit, scientific career. Many people remember Franklin either as the author of the Poor Richard's Almanac and the autobiography, or they remember Franklin as the politician and the diplomat. But sandwiched in between those parts of his career, he was a groundbreaking scientist. He did the fundamental work and experimentation on electricity. The kite, people remember, the sentry box, the study of electricity. He fundamentally characterized the basic field idea. Positive and negative charge was something that Franklin came up with. Clark Maxwell, many, many years later in the late 19th century, said that Franklin had done, if you know Maxwell's equations, this is basic electromagnetism. I don't actually know this, but I pretend to because I know the names. So I don't actually understand the theories. But Maxwell is very, very important to the field of electromagnetism. And he said Franklin had basically laid out more than any other thinker in the field. He was like the Newton of the field of electromagnetism. So Franklin had this enormously significant scientific career. He had come up with a thing that literally would save people's lives, the lightning rod, right? Where at the time other scientists believed that trying to attract charge out of the atmosphere and ground it was going to attract too much lightning to buildings, and then it would set them a fire. Franklin, of course, knew the scientific background of this. And he said, no, this will actually dissipate charge. It will save lives. Actually ended up ultimately having arguments with other English scientists. He was made a member of the Royal Society, which was absolutely unprecedented for a colonial to become a member of the prestigious Royal Society in London. After this, into the 1750s, because of his international acclaim, even the Queen of France had China made with Franklin's face on it, because he was so well known in Europe to which Louis was quite disappointed and had himself a chamber pot made with Franklin's face on the bottom. He did not so much like his wife being enamored of Benjamin Franklin. But because of his prominence, and because of his savvy, he was appointed as a colonial agent, which meant that he was to represent Pennsylvania, and ultimately he also represented Georgia and other colonies in parliament. And so he got involved in politics. And he became involved at the very heart of the American Revolution. Like the other patriots, he had this idea that America should have a kind of self-determination as a nation, that England was becoming oppressive, that the level of taxation, the level of interference was becoming oppressive, and that they had fundamentally different ideas about how to protect individual rights. The English believed that these were relational, that government created rights and that you should just accept them and be happy with them. Franklin and the other founders believed, no, individual rights are what individuals have as a claim against government. It's how we tell the government, no. And so he became involved not only as a colonial agent, later at the Constitutional Convention, and then ultimately as a diplomat, as an attaché basically to France after the revolution. He came back to the colonies in 1785, and shortly thereafter retired for the real retirement, which was only lasted a couple of years before his death in 1790. And in the interim, he crafted this biography, this autobiography. And the really interesting thing to me about this autobiography is Franklin is aware, as an Enlightenment thinker, as someone who had read Locke and Newton and studied the great Enlightenment thinkers, he was aware of the fact that the way that he portrayed his own personal development could become a model for others.


Welcome to the show. It is time for JP's product pick of the week and it's me JP and I'm right here and you're right there so let's get on with it. Thanks everyone for stopping by. First of all, if you're wondering where the chat is happening, if you're somewhere on Twitch or Facebook or a place like that and there's no real signs of life in the chat, head over to our Discord. It's adafruit.it slash discord. Head to the live broadcast chat channel and right there you'll see we've got people checking in. So hello everyone and thanks for stopping by. Hey there, Scott and C Grover, Paul, Jepler, DJ Devon, Yenisku, Mike P, Susan, hello, hello. Also I am keeping an eye over on our YouTube chat and they all say hi to John Oh and Tackle the World and Evil Dave of Canada. Welcome, thanks for stopping by. So the next thing I'll do is point you at this URL because for the product pick of the week this week, if you go to that QR code or use this URL, you can watch this show from inside that little product page and you can get a 50% discount on this week's product pick just by putting it in your cart. You don't need a coupon code or anything like that. You don't have to solve a puzzle, pick a part of puzzle box and accidentally open a hell gate. Nothing like that. You don't have to do that. I am still in the Halloween mood, you may notice. All you got to do is put it in your cart and buy it before the show is over or a little grace period after the show because we just have knocked the price down. It is half off. Let's see. The next thing I'll do is give you a little glimpse of this product pick when, or this product pick rather, a pick at the pick when Lady Aida first announced it. So take it away, Lady Aida. The new updated Feather ESP32 S3. Now you might be thinking, hey, wait, this sounds so familiar, didn't you put this in the store like a month ago? Yes, we did have a Feather ESP32 S3 in the store. The one that we put in a few weeks ago was the one with 8 megabytes of flash and 0 megabytes of PS RAM. And this one, if you stop and look at the back here, ooh, this one has 4 megabytes of flash and 2 megabytes of PS RAM. So basically, half as much flash, but a ton more SRAM or PS RAM that you can access. So this Feather, basically this version of the memory configuration wasn't available until now. We recently just got this shipment in of modules so we could make this version of the Feather. This Feather is going to be a lot better for use with Circuit Python, which uses a RAM to store code in, or any Arduino project or ESPIDF project where you want a really big buffer of memory. You know, let's say you're downloading an MP3 from the internet or an image or you're doing camera stuff and you want to buffer an entire frame in memory. It does have 512K of SRAM, but that SRAM goes very fast when you're using SSL and Wi-Fi. So that PS RAM can be really good. You want to do emulation. You want to do I2S audio buffering. You want to have, you know, again, camera stuff. You want to do, you know, double buffered graphics using the S3TFT driver. The PS RAM version is where it's at. If you don't care too much about whether you have PS RAM or not, then, you know, the 8 megabyte flash could give you more storage space, more flash space. So we have both available for the Feather. Otherwise, it's basically the same board as the Feather ESP32S3. You've got the module. You've got a boot button and a reset button. You've got a STEMIQT port for connecting up our sensors, USB-C for data and power programming, native USB. The ESP32S3 is a dual-core, 240 megahertz 10 silica processor. It's got Wi-Fi. It's got BLE. It's very fast. Battery charging built-in, battery monitoring built-in, Feather layout, you know, just compatible with all the Feathers you know and love. It's a great little Feather and now it just has PS RAM.  Yes, indeed. That is it. That's it. In fact, right there. I've got one. And this is it. Let's talk about this. So my product pick of the week this week is the Feather ESP32S3 with 4 megabytes of flash and 2 megabytes of PS RAM. This is a familiar Feather format. So you can use all of the different Feather accessories, Feather wings and such that you want to. It also has a STEMA QT connector mounted right there, right on top. Let me switch cameras out, in fact. And so right there, you see, I've got a little STEMA QT connector. I'll do a little demo for you in a second. That means you can hook up lots and lots of different types of inputs and sensors to this. Which is really convenient because this has Wi-Fi, the ESP32S3 has Wi-Fi capabilities, which means it's a really great IOT board. You can use it with Adafruit IO, you can use it with Whipper Snapper, a whole bunch of other services. But it's a really convenient board for plugging a sensor in and getting info out to the internet at large. It's got USB-C on it, which I love, used for both programming and power, as well as for charging LiPo batteries over a little LiPo charging circuit it has on there. It has BLE, so Bluetooth Low Energy on it. And it is great, as Lady Aida said, for the ESP IDF for Arduino and for Circuit Python. And I wanted to show you a couple of little demos with it. Before I do that, actually, let's take a look at the site. So if you jump over here, you will see that we have got this for an incredible price. Whoops, what happened? Come back here. There it is. We have this for half off just now, just during the show. So it is $8.75 US to get one of these boards. You can get, I believe, up to 10 of them is the limit. Let me find my web page. It disappeared. Come back here. There it is. Limit of 10. Yeah, max, 10 per customer. You can see there is another option on this one. That one's actually out of stock right now, so you probably won't have any trouble getting the right one here. This one is the one with four megabytes of flash and two megabytes of PS RAM. And if you take a look at, let me jump to, oh, hey, come back there.  Let's take a look at this demo, in fact. So what I'm going to do is bring up both my overhead here, there we go, so you can see my board. And what I'm going to do is plug a couple things into it. So one, you can see I have a temperature and humidity sensor. This is the SHT40, and that runs over I squared C on this STEM acute connector. So I'm going to plug that right there like that. And remember, plug these in before you power them up with I squared C, otherwise you can confuse the board. And now I will power it up. In this case, I'll just use this battery. And you'll see it's going to do some little blinkies for me. It's going to tell me that it's booting up. It's going to turn blue as it tries to access my Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi connection. It might, my Wi-Fi, you see it's blinking there. It might have a trouble with this because my Wi-Fi that it's set for is actually the one back in my studio inside, so it might not connect to the one out here. We'll see. If it goes green, if we get a few little quick green blinks, hey, that's good. Okay, so it's connected. Now the code that this is running, you can see here I have up this whippersnapper page. So whippersnapper is a really easy way to get IoT programs going or IoT projects going. It allows you to essentially do no coding. You can pick a board. You can pick the types of sensors that you want. It'll even scan your I squared C for you. Add those and then create a connection to your Adafruit IO page. In this case, you can see I have a little graph here of, I was checking the temperature starting yesterday through to this morning. So this was actually every 30 seconds, which was kind of a little faster than it probably should have been, but I forgot to change that back after testing. And it's also doing the same with humidity. I think I'm graphing that every five minutes. And oh wait, I think I showed the wrong one, let's go back. Here's temperature. Come back to temperature. Yeah, there's the temperature. You can see that getting a little cooler through the night. And you can also put these on dashboards. So here's a typical Adafruit IO dashboard with my little sensor and ESP32 S3 sending info. Now, this is, since it's the ESP32 S3 with the dual cores on it, has the 250 megahertz 10 silica processors on it. And we just happened to have our own Jepler, Jeff Epler, who was willing to refactor some code that was a project getting ESP32 to run DOOM. He updated this for Phil B's Don't Eat the Candy Bar running DOOM project. And then he updated it again for me to be able to run it on this gorgeous display. In fact, let me go full screen with this, I'll turn that off there. So here you can see I've got my ESP32 S3 plugged into a tripler. And then I've got that hand wired right now to a little breakout for iSpy. And then that means I can use this nice iSpy ribbon cable and plug that into the back of this board here, which is a nice way to do it, keeps your project a lot neater. I'm really a fan of iSpy. I can't wait to see it on our boards proper. But this is not a video. This is not a gift. This is actually DOOM running in real time on the board. I can't play it, but it's playing itself. It's running through a demo loop. But that's kind of amazing. That just gives you an idea of the type of power that you have on this board.  Jeff is there. If you have any questions about coding this or other questions in the deeper details of this, he's got a lot of experience with it now. So thank you, Jeff, for allowing us to have a nice little DOOM attract loop running on this great little rounded rectangle TFT. Let's see. What else is there to say? If you want to, head over to our learn guide. That'll also answer some questions about the board. Let me bring up that page myself. So Catney wrote this guide. This is on the iSpy 32S3, both the 8 megabyte, no PS RAM version, and the one we're looking at here today, which is the 4 megabyte of Flash, 2 megabyte of PS RAM. And this will take you through all of the details on it, the pinouts, which is very helpful. So you know what pins do what. It also has the power management section that'll let you know how to different ways to power it. And then we have examples here of setting it up to use with Circuit Python and some essential examples that you can grab. And then there's also a section on the Arduino IDE, using that for that with some Wi-Fi tests. It's a really nice way to get your feet wet doing Wi-Fi on the microcontroller. This will take you through that. And we have this whippersnapper setup here, which tells you how to get set up thanks to Brent and the team there for putting that together to make it really easy to get going with IoT projects. Yeah, someone in the chat mentioned that the board, this board may be overkill for some sensor projects, but yeah, you definitely have a lot of power left over, depending on what you want to do with that. Also, you can use the Adafruit I-O and Whippersnapper bi-directionally, so you can have code that you launch from your dashboard, run over Wi-Fi to the device over to your ESP32S3, and it will enable things like flipping relays and doing other things on the other end. So let's see, anything else? Let me see if we've got any other questions. If you take a look at our chat here, you can see, Jeff, thank you. Jeff's answering some questions. The, let's see, let me see if he answers anything about this. Questions about Flash and PSRAM? Yeah, one question was how do you access the PSRAM? It's actually accessed automatically in CircuitPython. You don't have to do anything special to use it. And let's see, in C, there's some ways of accessing them for reading and then writing Flash, which is different. Any other questions? Let's see. Yeah, if you want to load Doom, you can check in the chat there. Jeff posted a bin file and you'll use the web-based ESP flashing tool. And that's, you can find out about that on either the learn guide for it or head over to circuitpython.org and look at the downloads. It'll tell you how to use the web flasher. And let's see, what else? Yeah, lots of other info about the Doom there, which is incredible. People will like that. The display I'm using here for this right now, this is a TFT, it's a 1.69 inch. I'm not showing it, I'm talking about it and I'm acting like you can see it. Hold on, let me show this because this thing is cool. So this one is our 1.69 inch TFT with the rounded rectangle. It's a 240 by 280 pixels, I believe. Yeah, 230, sorry, 240 by 230, almost a square. It has that nice sort of reminiscent of a four by three display, so it looks like an old CRT is why I wanted to use it for this. And this is with the ST7789 chip on it. So it also has a micro SD card. And by the way, the ribbon cable going to this iSpy standard, that also allows the SD card info to flow back and forth. So this can be used both for display and SD card over that one ribbon. But yeah, more than enough power on the Feather ESP32S3 to drive a real time Doom experience. And look at that screen, I love that. Looks really good. So I think, unless there's any other questions we can handle, I think that's going to do it. So head back on over here if you want to get them. I think we probably still have them in stock. Just double check that. Web page likes to hide. Let's have a look. Still in stock, yeah. OK, so head, whoops, sorry, flipped my camera too quick there. My broadcast software is lagging behind a little bit. Let's see, someone asked, oh, OK, before we go, someone asked, do you know about powering it from triple A batteries? Yeah, you should be able to power it. Yes, you don't want to try to charge them. So don't plug it into USB and alkaline batteries is what I tend to use for this. Nickel metal hydride also works well for some projects. You can use, I believe, three or four. So as long as you're somewhere between our lipo specification, which is about four volts, 3.7 on the lower end, up through to about six volts, you can use double A and triple A batteries for that as well. Do I have a set? I don't think I have an easy setup to plug into it right now to try that, do I? Oh, you know what, let's do it. Let's see, oh no, none of these battery packs have a JST connector on them that I have sitting right in front of me. Sorry about that, I would love to have done that live. But yes, I've done it. We sell battery packs that have the... Wait, what about this one? Yeah, here's one. Okay, let's do it. Why not? Okay, live demo gets live-er. So right here, this is a three triple A. Now let's see if I can find three triple A's. I wish I had found a double A pack because that's what I have a lot of. Hold on one second. Oh wait, I may have found a double A pack. Here we go. Are you? You are, okay, good. Here's a double A, three double A. Same with triple A, they do the same thing. It's just double A's last longer. It's just the amount of amp hours embedded in there. All right, so let's take three batteries here. Hope I'm right, but this is the way to find out. I don't know if this one has an on-off it does, okay. Okay, it's in the on position. Let's turn that to off. So I'm gonna unplug USB power. I'm gonna plug the JST connector and flip this on. Oh, okay, does it not? Was this something, is this a known thing? I don't know why that wouldn't work. I have those all improperly. It looks like it's trying. I see, oh, there it goes. I don't know what that was about. Yeah, maybe that was just a ghost. But yeah, here we are running off of, you can run off of Lipos, you can run off of double A or triple A. Alkaline two, sorry, three or four would be a good amount. But yeah, you don't want your USB plugged in during that. All right, anything else? I think that should cover it. Really cool board. This one, by the way, you'll see here. If I unplug it, I just have it, I just have that set into one of our triplers so that can be unplugged and placed back in there. So it's a nice way to experiment with these without committing it to a sort of permanent home. All right, well, I'm gonna unplug this here and let's wrap this up. So don't forget, you can head over here to that URL right there. That's gonna get you the 50% discount right now. Just throw in your cart, don't need a coupon code. Buy it, it's yours at this great, great price. And I'll wrap this up. So thanks everyone for stopping by. This is my product pick of the week this week. It is the ESP32S3 Feather with four megabytes of flash and two megabytes of PS RAM. And yes, I'm using a STEMAQT object here as a hanger because that's convenient. All right, thanks everyone for stopping by for Adafruit Industries. I'm John Park. This has been JP's product pick of the week and I love candy corn.


This program is brought to you by cable franchise V's and generous donations from viewers like you Good evening. Happy Friday and welcome to our first Amherst weekly report I'm Claire Healy and I'll be going through the news out of Amherst, Massachusetts from this past week First off Amherst Cinema has announced its intention to reopen in late September The cinema closed its theaters in March following the onset of the pandemic and moved its facilities to a virtual cinema with ticket sales supporting the cinema directly Amherst Cinema set in a statement released July 8th that they expect to set the opening date towards the end of the summer and will continue monitoring public health guidelines So that their opening complies with the safety regulations Ahead of the reopening the cinema will undergo a lobby renovation as well as seat replacements for three of its theaters The cinema is also campaigning to raise funds for their renovations Allowing people to name seats with custom plaques as part of the fundraising effort in-person reopening is is Is a challenging one and we're taking it, you know, very seriously And it's not something that we're just gonna do because we can We're gonna do it because we it's the right thing to do a number of population would be considered high risk So we we took we took that threat seriously You know, we do always try to position ourselves and as a responsible, you know, public citizen And we do feel strongly about our mission and what we do and the importance of Independent cinema and filmmakers You know potential to effect change and to change people's lives and to entertain people Especially in a difficult time like this COVID-19 emergency rental assistance is available to residents in Amherst experiencing a loss or reduction of income due to complications from the pandemic The town of Amherst in the Amherst Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Fund will be providing these funds in a three-month period to eligible residents chosen through a lottery The allocated funds amount to around $250,000 in emergency rental assistance Preference will be given to families with children under age 18 and will only be available to residents who meet a select set of requirements These requirements include Amherst residency Loss or reduction of income as a result of COVID-19 and a demonstrated inability to cover rent during a three-month period Furthermore, the household annual gross income cannot exceed the 80% area median income The town website lists exactly what this means in numbers for income limit as varied by numbers of people in the house For example, if you are one person living in your household, your income limit is $47,850 Households living in state or federal subsidized public housing or residents already participating in a local state or federal rental assistance program are not eligible Neither households made up of entirely college students with some exceptions Residents must apply by August 6th and can do so on Community Action Pioneer Valley's website at communityaction.us slash Amherst rental assistance Last September residents of North Village and Lincoln Apartments were officially notified by the University of Massachusetts Amherst That their housing complex was going to be demolished to make way for new graduate housing North Village is a housing complex created in 1971 for graduate students and their families The Lincoln Apartments are also a graduate housing complex, but they are located on campus In the initial notice the University said that graduate students had to move out by June 2020 And that they would be given priority in the new housing complex, which they project projected to finish by fall 2022 The notice said that rent would stay the same for families who agree to move to alternative housing provided by the University The University has said that in in the place of these two housing complexes. They will build another two student complexes In a recent article by the Gazette Residents describe this foreclosure as a blow to their unique tight-knit community and a loss of this diverse international space in Amherst On July 10th Amherstown manager Paul Backelman expressed his concern about the University of Massachusetts Amherst's reopening plan in a letter to UMass Amherst Chancellor Subhaswamy Backelman said that the Chancellor's reopening plan caused for some concerns for the safety of Amherst residents Monday, July 21st the Town Council discussed this letter and what the fall may look like as students come back to the valley admits the COVID-19 pandemic Backelman said that he was worried about the possible strain on local hospital capacity increased tension over student gatherings and Potential friction if police are responding to complaints of student gatherings. We worry about If there is an outbreak our our biggest concern is in the public health of our of our community We we are concerned is that there will be spread of the disease that if the disease spreads at a Very large rate we worry about the capacity of our local medical facilities to handle that kind of surge We worry about any kind of spread community widespread on our K to 12 school system And And then I think well, we will notice most likely and we're already starting to see it that many of our year-round residents are seeing Smallish parties and by Amherst standards But people are starting to call and say there's a party on this at this private house and they're not social distancing They're not wearing masks. That's going to create additional Drain on resources for the town and responses because we respond to every call One request by council members was that the university tree on campus and off-campus students the same in terms of their expectations and their health care The council asked the quarantine spaces be provided to all students as well as a mandatory a quarantine period upon arrival U.S. Is expecting to have around 7,000 students living on campus approximately 50% of their normal population Meanwhile Amherst College is expecting around 1,200 students Around 60% of their normal occupancy The chancellor responded to the council's concerns in a press conference Town manager Backelman said that while they have more to discuss. He felt like the university heard their concerns The Amherst town council passed a resolution on June 29th condemning any anti-asian sentiment or xenophobia in and around the town of Amherst This action follows similar ones around the country that have been put in place as a reaction to the rise of anti-asian sentiment and rhetoric during the pandemic The resolution acknowledges this explicitly saying that the use of terms such as the quote Chinese virus or the quote Wuhan virus have contributed to an environment of xenophobia In addition to condemning anti-asian xenophobia in actions The resolution calls on town public officials to combat misinformation and discrimination That puts Asians and Asian Americans at risk Amherst town council has approved the budget for the 2021 fiscal year for a total sum of 68.27 million This budget reflects town manager Paul Backelman's recommendation for cuts to the budget following financial strain as a result of the pandemic The finance committee's proposal passed with a 12 to 0 vote and one member absent Before passing the budget the council passed a motion to not fill two vacant positions in the police department's budget Without fully considering the alternatives in consultation with the town council and the residents of Amherst They have to do so no later than January 31st 2021 The budget that passed on Monday, July 20th keeps the existing police force intact Turning down a push from the racial equity task force and defund 413 Amherst to cut the police budget by 52 percent The budget also added an additional $80,000 to quote engage the community as we explore identify and implement strategies to confront systematic racism a New playground has opened in Amherst at Groff Park following a socially distant ribbon-cutting ceremony To remain the standard six feet apart each official and committee member received their own ribbon to cut Instead of the traditional one ribbon This is a beautiful park It's been made even more beautiful by what has been done with the contributions of so many people Both their time and the money I'm here on behalf of a lot of other people who put a lot of work into this It's been a five to seven year effort to make this a reality Let's hear the other day and a lot of seniors who are here sitting on this little swing because it's really pleasant And so it's not just for kids. It's for anybody of any age The playground features climbing structures slides and swings as well as decorative sculptural elements When electrical components delayed by the pandemic are accessible Likely in August the town's first spray park will open next to the playground where there used to be a waiting pool There are also plans for a path to be built on East Hadley Road that will run from nearby apartment complexes straight to the playground and Finally at the beginning of July for eight days International students around the country didn't know if they would be able to remain in the US if their classes are online this fall The US Immigration Customs and Enforcement Agency does not allow international students to take more than one online course However in the spring following the start of the pandemic they allowed students to do so and still keep their visas However, July 6th, they rescinded that exception which meant that international students whose colleges were moving online this fall Would lose their student visas and have to leave the country or face deportation This did to impact international students in the five college system with F1 and M1 visas The exception being Hampshire college students who are returning to an in-person class schedule However following national outrage and a number of lawsuits including one led by Massachusetts Attorney General Mara Healy The Trump administration allowed a stay on this rule meaning the March exception is back in place That's all for this evening. This has been the Amherst weekly report. I'm Claire Healy have a wonderful weekend And we hope you will join us at the same time next week


The Boran Fellowship is a grant for national security and strategic language learning that the Department of Defense funds. They define national security broadly, so it includes things like diplomacy, development, which is how my project fits into that, and also strategic language learning is for languages that are not traditionally taught in school. Also, things like Urdu, Swahili, Mandarin, Turkish are all included in that because they're all languages that are also spoken in areas of critical importance to American foreign affairs. If you look at it in the grand scheme of national security, it's a little bit confusing. Why would a country's food security be critical to the U.S.? Well, the reality is that most riots and wars and all these things throughout time happen because people are poor and people are hungry and they want food and food security contributes to stability in nations and allows governments to maintain trust with their populations and healthier populations that can contribute to the workforce because in Kenya we see supply chains that are weakened by lack of financial access to climate controlled storage or other good agronomic practices and if we can find more affordable ways to do this then we can make food safer and not waste food and then feed populations more easily. So I'm a master's student in biological engineering and my research specifically focuses on extrusion processing to rid of aflatoxin and also to improve nutritional quality. So I'll be doing some sort of a work of farmers in Kenya and looking at their storage practices and how that relates to aflatoxin contamination and critical grains and other crops like peanuts and then using that data to run tests and then ultimately all this data will contribute to my master's thesis. They're really looking for engineers and scientists to contribute to government affairs and to international affairs in the U.S. because so often people feel like those positions are reserved for students that are in political science or economic backgrounds but actually they want people that have technical knowledge and critical thinking skills. So I think that definitely was very helpful for me in the application. I would also say I've had some more unconventional experiences compared to the average engineering student. Working with Land O'Lakes was a huge thing for me in their global food security internship program. The research that I've done thus far on projects like the Purdue Utility Project, working with farmers abroad and also on USAID grants. Those two things combined, the unconventional experiences and then the STEM really helped me. For pursuing opportunities, Purdue is fantastic. There's everything and anything that you could want to do and tailoring, you know, you have your degree as like a baseline and then using that degree to kind of fashion your interests, particularly for students that are interested in using their engineering degree to help people. We've got the grand engineering challenges and professors across campus working on these things, energy, sustainability, you name it. So there's that and you can pursue that through epics, through research, through classwork, through internships but then also I would say I've had a lot of mentorship and guidance support too, not only from faculty members but also from staff. In the NISO, the National and International Scholarships Office, I spent two months working with them and my advisors and my recommendation writers to work on my application which I would not have been able to know like certain language pieces that were critical in the application without their help. So that was really great for a student that hadn't applied for a fellowship like this before. I think my first recommendation would be start early, don't put off the application, you know, don't give yourself a week to do it but also I would say that I felt like applying for a fellowship like this or the Fulbright was kind of like getting into Harvard, right? Like it just was like okay I'm smart but I'm not, that just seems unattainable but it's really not and there are so many people that are supporting you and people that want to see you succeed and that includes here at Purdue and also in these fellowship committees that are looking for people like you, like STEM engineers and that you should know that when you're applying because otherwise it can feel discouraging, you're like oh I won't get it it's only a X number percentage acceptance rate, forget about that, like you have a great case like even just going to Purdue gives you like an advantage so to not discredit that would be my next piece of advice. I actually had a conversation with my friend about this the other day because my Swahili is pretty much zero and she and I agreed that my goal should be when I'm taking my taxi back to the airport at the end of the trip that I can talk to my cab driver in Swahili that like have a basic conversation. So that's like my language goals I think to go from zero to that. And then I would also say that culturally I've been to Kenya before but living there long term and working with people long term is going to be different, might be challenging but also I think it's going to give me a lot of insight into my own like culture and how I work with other people and how to be productive in this kind of global setting and research that is with multi-national teams. And then also just the fun things about living in Kenya too, I mean, Kenyan weddings, I've already been invited to one. And you know spending Christmas there and New Year's it will be different and really cool to experience. I do believe that today we're global citizens and we can't discount the choices that we make even in our small town in Indiana have sometimes international consequences. I mean if you look at what's happening in the rainforest or even the Nutella that you eat, palm oil production, things like that we have to think more on a global scale and also because of that people that live across the globe are now our neighbors. And I think I believe in the good of common humanity to help one another and I think I can do that with my engineering degree. So that's why it's important to me.


Here are seven signs someone is truly mature number one their choices are based off their character Instead of their feelings. Do you let your emotions get the best of you? Does this often result in poor decisions? Those who are emotionally mature base most of their choices on their character as opposed to their feelings They take time to assess the situation and evaluate they have a set of values They live by and it's these values that take the lead rather than a sudden negative emotion It's their character that ends up controlling their emotions They simply need to remember who they are and what they stand for to calm down any biased feelings that can contribute to poor decision-making Number two they are patient Patience is a virtue. Well, it certainly is for the wise if you're mature You realize that large goals often take a good amount of time and effort to achieve Those who are mature will work hard to get what they want But they also understand that they can't get it done at the drop of a hat good things often take time and because of their patience They often realize that everyone else has their own troubles and conflicts to deal with as well This leads to them being patient with others as well Number three they keep long-term commitments and promises a promise is a promise And it'd be wise to see through with the promises you make when a mature person makes a commitment They keep it when feelings of motivation are no longer present. They don't let that stop them They push through any feelings of frustration or boredom because they know the reward awaits at the finish line Gratification comes later, but it's well worth it to them number four they actively listen more and talk less People value those who actively listen in a conversation Those who engage back with them and respond with thoughtful ideas and add value to the conversation They don't just focus on what their response will be and when they'll get a chance to share it Instead they take into account the other individual's points and use them to give a thoughtful response This makes for much more interesting discussions that lead to understanding each other's opinions Mature individuals also realize that there's a lot to learn from others Choosing to observe others and listen to what they have to say gives them a greater opportunity to learn from them Determine their view and then give a thoughtful response Number five they don't need attention and possess a sense of humility Mature people are humble and don't often seek attention to themselves They realize that they've learned from others and can learn more from them as well They don't put themselves above others simply because they have succeeded They instead treat everyone with kindness and openness a mature person can still be confident and proud of their achievements But they don't need praise from others to be happy with themselves being proud of themselves is enough Number six, they're open-minded Time to open your mind. If you're mature, you're often open-minded and respectful of contrasting opinions Those who are mature realize they shouldn't judge others and that each individual has different circumstances There are different struggles each of us go through different experience that lead us to our views Mature individuals realize this. They also realize there's a lot to learn in life So it's best to keep an open mind as wise as they may be they don't have all the answers and number seven They're self-aware and know when to hold themselves accountable Self-awareness is key in emotional maturity


about the education to children. I always feel he more than right to education, there has to be a right kind of education. India is intellectually poor at the moment, what is your take on it? India is not definitely not poor on intellect. I would say I speak to all kinds of people around the world, business leaders, academics, scientists, but still I would say. Pick up hundred people from the street, just like that. Either in Mumbai or Chennai or Bangalore, I would say they are way smarter than most people that you can pick up anywhere in the world. It is just that we do not have an organization for this intellect to find expression. For this enormous intellect that country has, there is no structures for people to find expression to that. You just see, take Indian people and put them anywhere, they are just on the tops because once they find proper structures and they understand the structure, you can't stop them because there is a necessary intellect. This is a consequence of a very huge history, a cultural history that we have. It is time that this generation gets the right stuff. But that's not happened yet because our education systems and every system that we had has been disrupted barely in a systematic way because we have been an occupied nation for nearly a thousand years. In 1947, when we got our independence, we should have seriously thought about what kind of education does India need? We must understand this. Without an infrastructure, literally without infrastructure, without any kind of education, our farmers are producing food for 1.25 billion people. Yes. This is knowledge. Why is this not knowledge, I'm asking? Why is this not knowledge? Why is this not competence?  But we have tried to push everything aside and reinvent the wheel. Once again, we want to learn ABC and do it like this. So there is a disruption in the intrinsic learning that we have and the school learning that is coming to us. We are thinking only what is written in the book A plus B equals C is only knowledge. Why is not making a wonderful sambar knowledge? Why is not growing a crop knowledge? Why is not making a pot knowledge? We have very constipated sense of what is knowledge.


Hi everybody, we did it. We knocked out the jazzy's eight box slam dunk Basketball mixer a random team break 30-spot break no vet commons ship. These are the boxes involved here and At the end of the break, we're gonna re-randomize your names And we're gonna give away a wax party spot first and then we'll create a whole new list Big second list and we'll give away the Jordan Fleer PSA six a 1986 it'll also show to you 1986 Fleer basketball Michael Jordan PSA six Which uh, which Even for a six still goes for like what four four and a half thousand dollars at least as of as of April 10th 2020 In case you're watching from the future and you're like no way man. That's a lot more but back in 2022 that that's kind of the Approximate price give or take all right One other note. We do have a collegiate jersey in this break So that'll go by our no checklist rule So it'll go to the team they play for currently if they're active and the team they play for the longest if they're retired All right, well big thanks to this group for getting into the action. I appreciate it Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up and we only ended up doing just two fillers I think we had planned for more but the straight-up spots were flying off the shelves So thanks to the people took the risk on the fillers congrats against again to the winners Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up all teams are in I think I put this in the title of my spreadsheet There's a little eager here to get into this break There you go Sunday at 10th 2022. Let's go. Let's roll it randomized names and teams six into six twelve times one two three Four and a 12th and final time so Steve Birch down to Canard six and a six 12 times for the teams one two and 12th and final time So there's 12 right there. There's 12 right here. We've got the Bulls Down to the ATL Atlanta Hawks All right, Steve with the Bulls Mac with the Wizards Austin with the Blazers Jimmy with the net Steve with the Spurs John with the Rocks and Nicks Austin with the Pacers Jimmy with the Sixers Steve with the Magic Justin with the Cavs Jimmy with the Celtics Brian with the Raptors John with the Jazz Dusty with the Bucks Jesse with my Lager Steve with the Pistons Jesse with the Clippers Steve with the Kings and Mavs Jared with the Grizz Matthew with the Nuggets Dwing with the Sun's Nick Stover with the Charlotte Hornets There's some 2020 2021 box in here. Maybe one or two Brian with the Heat Nick with the Warriors Jason with the Thunder Josh with the Pelicans John with the T Wolves and Canard with the Hawks. So a lot of different years too. So I see 17 18 Is that 18? No, that's 20 21 There's a few different years in here. So trade at your own risk. So let's sort by Team name. We're gonna pause the video just for a moment when we come back We're gonna see if there's any trades then we'll have the break stick around BRB All right. Welcome back folks. No deals were done. So onwards again Thank you everybody for For getting into it. Remember one dice one list will be for the wax party and a second list We'll do a randomizer of all your names again for the MJ Let's just start with these loose boxes here and then we'll do the jersey and finish off with the basketball There's some people still around by then. We'll do a little bit of who am I maybe a little guessing game for bragging rights America's favorite game No one else does a who am I came only only jasmine. Alright, thanks everybody for getting in Might see Ben Simmons in the playoffs There's buddy healed autograph established autographs Buddy healed on card auto for the Kings. That's gonna go to Steve Virch Sacramento. Nice. There's a rookie Lamello ball and an Anthony Edwards and a Moses Brown rookie silver I think if I remember correctly the Chronicle the prism almost acts as like an update set or something like that. So That's part of it That Moses Brown will go to okay. See that'll be for Jason There's the Anthony Edwards in that Phoenix design For the T Wolves and Lamello in that marquee design. So T Wolves John Hornets next over Last spot mojo We've got Anthony Edwards numbered to 149 and Sadiq Bay to 99 So nice and nice numbered Anthony Edwards in that luminance design, which I really like That'll be for John and the T Wolves That is 46 out of 149. We've got a Jada McDaniels to 23 that is out of 49 another one from Minnesota and We've got a Gabe Vincent autograph 155 out of 199 hometown heroes Rookie auto for Miami Brian Frank with the heat. All right. Nice start next box. Maybe some hoops some hoops hybrid Also, this is our last break of the night, but I think Teddy is still alive on Instagram So if you go to at Jasper's breaks on Instagram, he might be might have some time to do a quick Box or two with you a personal box before he signs off Go say hi to Teddy Or you can hang out with me here Looks like Frank Vogel of the Lakers is gonna be is gonna be fired on Monday But the reports are already out there. We're trying to sucks for Frank Vogel Please kind of keep try to keep that in house before I guess the writing was on the wall Don't you'd suffers a calf strain in the regular season finale interesting Tybalt not entrance not a eligible for games in 76ers in Toronto Simmons could return in that round one Joellen bead scoring title for him There's rookie Zion right here I bolted LeBron James. Yeah, and then there's LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Let's see How the Lakers retool next year? If they can Zion rookie card going to Josh Melton with Nolence, I guess I guess he won't be playing. I don't know if he's playing this year So we'll see Terry Giles read Gorgie Dieng to 99 green having Kendrick Nunn this year was He was supposed to contribute some meaningful minutes maybe next year for him He's on a two-year deal Was Josh Henson to 35 and a Kobe white rookie card For the bulls it'll be for Steve Burch. All right. How about another hybrid box this time 2020 2021 Donners basketball now, how does the I don't think I know how I Not familiar with how this plane all these playing games work. Yes. Can is that apparently it has everything I need to know Okay, so I guess I can just tell by the schedule Plane format held we've held for the first time The play the plane turned mad so exciting room at the end of the season teams are in instead of icing blah, so In the east the number eight Kaz will play the number seven nets and Game two is the Hornets and Hawks and Then there's a game three the winner of game two Hornets or Hawks plays a loser of game one The winner of game two Hornets Hawks plays a loser of Game one Kaz net and Then the winner of game one will face the e7 seed face the boss and for faces boss in the first round Winner of game three will then be the eighth seed and face the heat in the first round Spencer Dinwitty Paul George Pulsar James Weissman. Oh, I thought this is gonna be Lamello for a second But Grant Riller still going going to you Nick. It's Lori Markin and and Donovan Mitchell All right, so nothing too crazy in that box. Let's Should we go back in time a little bit to 1718? this is I think this is Donovan Mitchell rookie class right Donovan Mitchell and Jason Tatum 1718 Donors optic mega box Right, so the loser of game one Kaz and Nets actually has a second chance because they'll play in So seed seven and eight have a second chance and Seed nine and ten will have to win two right there game two and then game three. Okay, I think I get that Okay, play internment Western Conference number eight Clippers facing the T Wolves That's the eight seven matchup the nine the ten nine matchup is San Antonio at New Orleans and Then Santa is the winner of spurs New Orleans will have to beat the loser of Clippers T Wolves winner of the first game Clippers T Wolves will face will be the West seven seed and face Memphis and the winner of game three so that that could be any of those four teams will be Will be the A seed and face the Suns Hey, there's Donovan Mitchell nice and Jason Tatum nice I'll take it. All right, not bad not bad not bad So these are these are the parallels exclusive to this mega box set so Boston Jimmy Kay with the C's Nice. Hopefully he does well in the playoffs Same with the same with Donovan Mitchell Utah Jazz John. Yeah, John with the Utah Jazz There you go same with Donovan Mitchell That'd be hashtag good for the hobby So I know the East was pretty pretty Pretty packed. Let's see how how did it shake out? So Miami ends up with the top seed. It looks like right? 53 and 29 and I guess some due to some sort of tiebreaker Celtics are ahead of the Bucks and The Sixers they've all they all have 60 51 games must be some head-to-head matchup or something like that Just little security tag stickers these retail boxes So it's the heat Celtics Bucks Sixers Raptors and Bulls one through six and in the West It's Suns Grizzlies Warriors Mavs jazz and nuggets One through six exciting NBA playoffs are always always fun. All right. Good luck There's an Anthony Edwards rookie that the Marcus Alders not numbered but a cool parallel Miles Turner and an Anthony Edwards look at that. That's the Green and purple. I don't know what they're they're called Anyway, cool stuff John Timberwolves nice gets that two-color parallel and another rookie card Anthony Edwards I think both of these are concourse level Select that Tyrese Halliburton and all the Devo back there. Not bad. Not bad. All right, 2020-2021 prison basketball blaster Good luck the mock draft Now there Anthony Edwards and it's an impact insert There's ish Smith Who's and the Edwards since he's in the playoffs Yeah, some good playoff games Timberwolves win a series stop will surely surely rise And Kyle Kuzma piece of his jersey like the Lakers could have kept their entire squad The same done just as well There's a silver Uduca as a week a the jazz are in the playoffs So you never know this guy might get some minutes and all of a sudden His value goes up All right We'll see your values go up Okay Jersey college basketball edition We're almost there.
