Okay are we ready? May I start? Alright cool. Alright guys so uh hello. So today I'll be talking about Ruby Emotion. Ruby Emotion is a pretty cool tool. You can use, you basically write, you basically write Ruby and it compiles into native code on objectives as Objective-C or Java for Android. So you basically write your mobile app or desktop OSX app in Ruby and basically compiles into the Objective-C and code and you basically write an app with it. This is kind of cool. Right so basically I didn't program any slides I just have some notes here. So basically getting it is pretty easy. You probably got an email from Mike Zio some time ago. So basically you just download the binary zip file, unzip it and just run install it and basically run in basically everything is in the console right so just open your iTunes or whatever and just type sudo motion activate with the license key and of course you have installed Xcode. If you're ever doing iOS apps or Mac or Mac apps you need to download Objective-C or Xcode. If you're doing Android development you probably need to download the NDK and all the SDKs that you need for Android. Creating a project is pretty simple as well. Just type motion create followed by the folder name or the project name. You can add at the back just dash dash template iOS OSX or Android which will basically create the base file that you need for one application. So I can just do a quick one right now. Let's see go into scratch pad so I can do motion create hello right so basically what it does is you generate a whole bunch of files and we go to hello yeah so everything you need is here so it's very much like writing an iOS app so it starts with an app delegate which is the starting point of any iOS application right so it has the same kind of stuff that you need rather that you find in A's in a iOS app and even the method names are pretty much the same or rather it's close to being a one-to-one mapping of what you find in in Objective-C into Ruby right so in this case it's basically creating a root controller view controller and it's adding a navigation controller and then makes it visible right basically same stuff you'll find and to run it you basically all you do is just type motion no sorry it's all rig basically everything you need is in rig so just type rig it basically compiles the app and you can start and basically loads it up into a simulator so you can see it over here it's a very basic app right and you can also you can put a command key and you can actually inspect different parts of this thing you can go and say self.title or something yeah so we can set self.title equals hello again I hope this works okay fine theoretically you can go in and make the changes that you know yeah you know what the property name is and all that stuff so you can actually do use it to do some debugging yeah let's see what they have holy crap okay yeah it's pretty cool it actually does so you keep it's like I was trying to change the title but I guess I was pointing to the wrong place so I'm done just like exit I'm done if you can also run there is a testing framework that comes with the comes with it so okay so once let's go through the notes so basically command command line interface everything is in command line and basically all the things you do is in rig so you just type rig you can see all the tasks that they have so you can basically create a create a archive do the build build it for device or simulator or the default is actually just to run it in a simulator yes yeah yeah if you want you can also generate a static file if you want to include it in an existing iOS project you know just kind of nice so yeah and getting you can also do there's a test you can also run tests as well you know you can break spec so what they have is they don't use our spec but they use a clone of our spec called bacon yeah it's called bacon yeah it's a clone so in that case why I think it doesn't need the full aspect library and because it needs to statically compile it so there's probably some external dependency that is not required so basically as stripped down version the DSL is pretty much is quite quite intuitive in this case the test is failing so I will change this to two because there was like there's actually two windows so I can run that again I should pass hopefully yes pass great yeah so that's for the so you can basically I did this in your favorite to your can use a frame can use emacs there's even if you use really mind we might already has like support for this out of the box like I have a private running right now with here so basically the best part about using remind is that you get all the auto complete that that would come with with this with that stuff so basically if you actually finds all the methods and you can do all the complete this is kind of cool the intelligence rather the sense of that right so it's close to one-to-one mapping of iOS to iOS SDK so basically you have things I have delegate even the methods all look the same that's so you can you have full access to the full you have access to the full view control life cycle the names are pretty much mapped one-to-one one thing that I really that is one thing that they have is I hope you can see this so what some of this you can create like a view controller extends from the UI view controller loads view in this case I'm actually creating a button adding a target to it basically action but action to it basically is everything is here so it's like what we have in an iOS app like a messaging messages that you send in a object you see things are in square bracket and stuff it just translated into into a into a something like this so basically in it with title the second parameter is past past in as a hash so basically it's like whatever comes in subsequently is in a hash right it's kind of nice so it's pretty much for the same syntax that you find in Objective-C and which is kind of cool right so you can even do things yeah so you can a lot and it or you can just do new which is the Ruby way of doing it works as well if I'm running it on on I'm running this in Ruby mind so I can actually run the test I can run it in simulator right so pretty much everything you need and because I bound this to a method we should basically do like put index equals something and basically was echoing out as I press this first one one and two and stuff so basically you can you can see the output in the console as well below and I believe if you if I jump in here right now I can change the label I hope let's see I can change the label self what's this what's the self what label self dot title all right so in Objective-C there's a concept of delegate so basically you delegate a callback that comes with so a little bit has a bunch of callback delegates then basically this is the method that kind of triggers it so this there's a certain API that is correct this is the song you perform on the interface you should be pretty straightforward so in this one you don't actually have set it but if you want to do some action from based on web on the what the user types you have to delegate it to an object so it did not be this usually the best user the usual practice actually to delegate it to the set to the same class you can actually delegate it to an external class or you can pass in another object which is also kind of cool so basically this is the yeah so the similar thing in you were doing is Objective-C this is kind of like how you would do it so you have UI, UI allows you a lot and then you init with title and stuff like that so so this is the yeah what you have here and so button so this is how you how you would be if you're writing a I'll write this in iOS so all the square brackets would mean a method or message that you're trying to send to this yeah so I can run this of course you've seen it right I've seen you run this yeah why this the guys from we might we will be motion also added a whole bunch of sample quotes you can they can download yes there's a sample code project which has a whole bunch of sample quotes they can get all iOS Android and so on so forth it's all very cool like even say it supports all the native stuff that you get on on iOS so like maps you can access to the camera you can provide a sprite kit game this is kind of cool yeah so even Android games and even OS X apps you can get it from here so basically is one one giant people just check it out go into the folder type Rick basically you should run properly you want to load this into your for example I have here right now of a happy bird sprite kit game so basically like stuff you want to do if I want to load this into phone all you do just go to the red file and add this this this item here so basically it's a provision profile you familiar with writing apps in basically together okay right so in order to load an app into the phone for testing you get a developer account once you get a developer account you just log on and on Xcode basically detect all your devices that you want to use for testing and you generate a profile which will allow you to to usually is a one-to-one basically it's like one app as a group of devices that supported and that profile will contain all the devices that are known to work for development you can also create a generic profile which which is not bound to any application so usually they identify application based on a application name so in this case the application name is called Flappy so you can decide the namespace as well calm dot Flappy or calm not matching dot Flappy so that's usually that the app identify so if you what I have here is just a basic generic profile that could work on any app right yeah so it's a team profile so basically it is a profile you can share with your entire team Xcode basically phones home to Apple and downloads and generates the key for you I think other preferences accounts you can yeah yeah the old way is actually to go to the developer side generate the profiles on by one download the file and yeah you can actually create one if you need one I can just download new stuff usually you have to go to the website developer side to check to create a new app and once you create a new app you want that you wish to publish you will basically create a new profile here for you they can you can then download and registering devices is now done to Xcode so Xcode registers your device with something signed by Apple the phone is looking for yes yeah so yeah so so basically once you add this provisioning profile you can then deploy this into the device so I'll try and run this on a device now run on device which basically just basically is running Rick Rick device and it should it will come compile the app and just try to load it into the application is running but it's not showing up yeah it was for a lock okay so about that run device and I'll try to bring up so I create a new movie recording why why not there you go so this is this is actually you see what on my phone now we crashed my what essentially you have something it is yeah so it's something new that was added in in your use a mini so you can use the quick time to basically they're using this basically to like capture screen flows that you can then publish onto onto the app store yeah so the screen for you see the app store usually comes using this this very straightforward kind of recording so basically takes whatever is on the screen and help yeah no not really so which is which kind of sucks anyway yeah yeah so that you can basically interact with it can pass you the phone later if you need to play around yeah so when you're done it just close it yeah yeah so let's see what else is there okay so one more mapping right so the what's on advantages is like you there's no separate file that in Objective-C they actually have they require to both the header file and implement file which is kind of irritating so she's kind of like yeah so the header file which tells us what it has what what methods to expose and implement files yeah it's just a seat but the movie is just one file that handles all the memory management and all that stuff for you which is kind of kind of great yeah so there's no need to worry about memory management because we'll be motion that's all that for you so basically it will be a compile to OSX or iOS or Android the syntax rather than the files that it creates are a little bit different for for a OSX app for example OSX app it's the files like you still have delicate because it's an Objective-C but uses other things like menu which helps you generate the menu and all that stuff yeah so it's a little bit different for each of the platforms that you're building for for Android you create that the main activity but you saw the main activity file and you'll be in Ruby and stuff like that so yeah so you still need to know a little bit about the platform specific things that you need to work to work for testing tools as I said there's a there's a raw aspect called bacon for QQ you can also write acceptance tests using a cucumber like app called color bash I don't have a working sample but there's a there's some documents they can this is a website color bash which is yeah basically you can do you can automate clickings or swiping and all that's all the actions on the screen do I have to use color bash or sorry yeah I think I think there might be there might be I haven't really gone in depth right so in basically you can add to a party libraries using Ruby gems you can you basically have a there's a gem file which you can go in and then add additional stuff that you need so like the gem follow something like this so in this case they actually generates a yeah and you but the gems are very specific to Ruby motion so the guys at Ruby motion has has helped fully created a site for this trying to find it the route the motion to box has a whole bunch of gems that are Ruby motion compatible because mainly you need to have the library to be statically compiled so they can be included into the application so it says how you add to a party and stuff that you need let's see what else is there yeah so start a study compile you've seen a demo so there's three there's some projects so for example you can see that the coding coding an app in Ruby you're still following the same way of writing stuff in Objective C so it's like one to one mapping but it can be a little bit cumbersome and in this like a lot of things need to deal with so some guys has actually put together a Ruby DSL so you can just use that those DSLs right like simple things like bring up alert view of showing the camera and saving the images and stuff like that so bubble wrap is one of these projects which is kind of cool as well so yeah so basically it has so it has a whole bunch of different stuff you can do it has HTTP wrapper RSS parser you want to have access to the camera you can actually use that location is off here so let's have a look at the camera so it has a Ruby like for example this you want to do this in Objective C they'll be like you need to create a UI image picker and some other stuff a lot of boilerplate code so this guy this library basically wraps all that up into very simple DSL another one I've seen is promotion promotion yeah so promotion is another one which has it's like instead of writing app delegate you also it has a simpler DSL for doing this that's on load you can tell which screen you want and some of that so it's a very much Ruby like simpler DSL they work with it's all right all right cool there's even a I found this just recently it's called Nitron so basically lets you access the date I think it's a call data call date so on iOS there is a SQLite database they can load that you can use and this is a simple wrapper that lets you talk to the call data or rather the SQLite layer which is should be yeah so called it call data active record support so it's got active record kind of DSL it's kind of cool so in running an iOS or objective seek project there is usually a thing called interface builder so they have a storyboard which has which you can then drag and drop elements and even manage a flow between one screen the next screen and stuff like that you lose the use of this somehow because you're not you're not good doing this in the next code but there are libraries that lets you that lets you kind of still work with them or generate them in the command line one of them is called IV so it creates IV outlets for motion there's also a sample project that I found which shows you how we can use Ruby motion with a storyboard storyboard is like a drag and drag drag and drop we which kind of shows you can drag and drop elements and arrange them in on the screen yeah so it's kind of nice also for you for learning we motion there is a video podcast called motion in motion which is kind of kind of nice as well so it has a whole bunch of videos you can just watch and to learn so there's a series that you have now we're motion for Rails developers so for Rails developers can watch this and pretty much get a good sense of how everything is put together yeah especially we have no experience writing Objective-C or there was that so it gives you the it helps you mind it helps you map the concepts of all introduces introduces you to the concepts of in motion yeah and maps it to how it's like in in Objective-C it's kind of nice there's a you pay for subscription sorry yeah this is quite a lot they've been doing this for I think couple of years yeah I just got a subscription recently so it's kind of cool it's about 990 for per month so it's I think we good to get it and so you guys can learn yeah so his examples are mostly iOS I don't think he has any Android examples yet yeah yeah so anyway the guides on the Ruby motion website is actually quite quite quite good it also shows you how to write stuff in iOS and Android and even has a nice document on testing how do you write tests in in real motion right so it's kind of cool yeah I'm not yeah I'm not right I've not tried putting the any of Android apps yet so yeah yeah because I think we need to set up quite a fair bit of stuff like SDKs and DKs you got downloads on it yeah yeah only I only have like the yeah so I'm not actually tried like because if you use a library like oh right you would basically include all the stuff that you need like say call call location and all this extra stuff like when I was writing iOS apps I have to worry about adding the proper libraries and and I'm not sure how we will be motion I can handle saw that for you so it's something I get to explore yeah sure I last I checked there's only probably two or three yeah so there's only a few gems which are some other right now yeah so we won't this motion to box organizes things into the categories and stuff and even to the platforms so it's kind of kind of nice so on audio library it shows you which one to use because to the yeah I like what I really like is is a one-to-one mapping to to objective see so basically what you write in movie maps directly to it so it's like then you just not much so any doc any objective see or iOS specific documentation you find online would definitely work or rather we should be relevant to writing stuff like last night I was trying to create that UI alert view this UI I love you I forgot the syntax so this guy went online and Google the syntax you know objective see I got mapped it in so yeah yeah so it's like UI alert view yes you can actually under the guy on testing I believe there was something about duration device events finding views hmm okay yeah oh debugging sorry there is a there was a debugging there you go yeah I'm doing command for safe yeah nice okay yep so yeah so that's that's all I have actually so any any questions yeah if you're doing like a say a complex interface yeah I'll probably use storyboard and use auto layout to come drag and drop stuff and then try to consume that sorry what in so does Ruby motion allow you to like design interfaces or that's just purely like code so thanks we have code right now have you done any non-trivial apps no yeah do you know that yeah so interestingly one of the companies in Australia the frontier is doing a lot of motion for but I know like they said I mean that they actually have a really blog post on the other one of these I'm really interested in finding copies like if we you know in terms of Mary but our resources for it we made sense to just like focus on certainly or or yeah yep I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I don't actually try it but you can try and port a, you can probably try and create a gem, if it's a library that is shared between the different projects, you would create a gem, wrap it in a gem and it should be straightforward. It would be interesting to see how easy it is to mix and match. I think the other thing for me though is that that's why you can make decisions in individual development, but what I'm saying is that in terms of where we place our resources, in terms of how we do it, I think that's how it ends up. The other thing is, what it seems from what Michael's saying is that it's a guy who is basically working in the same framework to do the promotion and then as that's a hard part of learning something that's already framework used. So I don't, it doesn't look like it's wasted effort by the side. No, it looks, now we have to expect it from a perspective that it was the only other way to do it. So, yeah. But I think you can rewrite everything in Ruby. From past experience managing an app using Xcode is a whole lot of stuff you need to deal with inside the IDE, like dependencies and all that stuff. And even making sure it's got the right configuration for which target it's deploying to and all that stuff. So I think if I can manage all that in code as simply as just updating a rig file, that is actually pretty nice. I mean there's actually documentation on the runtime. There's even a section on memory management. So you can actually do a bit more granular control, like weak references and stuff like that. So this page actually gives you a fair bit of overview of the more fine grain controls you want over how things work. Yeah, we do. There's an email from Mike Mazzur some time last year. If you're not familiar with the UI elements, this is all that. Terminology and some sample code here as well. So basically what you see here pretty much can map directly into remotion. It's kind of nice. Like a UI overview, like what I've shown you just now. So basically the behavior, the callback, that's why I use it. Yeah, dismiss, click the button. How long does it take remotion to get the latest iOS updates? I'm not sure, but updating remotion is fairly simple. I think you just type pseudo-motion updates. So you need to wait for your motion to support whatever's new in the framework. So you can utilize it. Like sweet things, bags, and other things. People I know would really accept it and please with a sneak at a remotion. Do you know what's in the background about the people behind remotion? No, I'm not familiar. I don't remember the details. I probably wasn't wrong, but my instinct is because I've read about this once. It was some people who were really heavily involved at Apple and really understand this stuff. Decided to make this. This wasn't just some pretty fanboys who were like, we'll figure this out. It was like, I know how this stuff works in Apple. So the name? The greatest name. Yeah, I used to go up and eat. I think we found a bridge of some other thing that wasn't wrong. We did Mac Ruby. One of them is coming for Red Dot Ruby Conference. Mac Ruby wasn't related to anything like that. One of them is coming. Yeah, he's coming. All right, there's relevance. Yeah, he's coming. All sort of cats. I'll share this document later and you guys can check it out.


Hello everyone welcome back to another adobe photoshop 2020 tutorial guys this one i'm going to show you how to get a depth of field or that sort of nice soft blurry look into this photograph and i'll show you how to do it in like 90 seconds or less we're going to use the lens blur which has been adjusted a little bit inside photoshop 2020 so let's just get in and dig in and get going uh i've got a layer here selected i've got a guy doing taking a photograph of him taking a photograph which is weird but whatever um bottom line is guys the first thing you want to do is we want to well basically we want to make the trees in the background a little bit soft and blurry and we want him to be in focus so the first step here is i want to go up to select and then i'm going to go up to select uh pardon me i'm going to make sure i'm clicked on the layer yes i am so i'm going to go up to select and then i'm going to select subject in this case you'll see here it has drawn a pretty good looking um pretty good looking uh marching ants here a little selection here around him there are some changes i would recommend making so let's go ahead and do that and i'll try and do this nice and quickly i'm going to go over here to the lasso tool and i'm going to select l and boom i've got my lasso now if you just start doing lasso work it's going to make a new selection so what you have to do is you have to hold down the shift key and now i'm going to lasso around this camera and i didn't get it perfectly as you can see so i'm going to do it again okay and maybe there okay that's a little better and the tip of this guy's hat i'm going to add to it again i am holding down the shift key wow i'm sorry guys normally i would do this with a with my ipad pro but um i don't have it with me so yeah okay so this is again you would probably want to then hold down the alt key and then sub or part of me the command or the option key and start minusing out portions of this as well but i'm not going to show you how to do a mask like i mean or how to draw a selection that's another video that i've already done part of me so there we go we've got a decent selection here of this guy now let's get into the meat and the potatoes all right so the next step here is you want to go up make sure you're clicked on your layer you want to go to filter drop down to blur and now we're going to go to lens blur when you click on this you're going to see a bunch of stuff you're going to see that the um the guy is well in my case i've got it set up so i'm going to do it you'll see here that he is blurred out but the background is not blurred out now you would probably be not be seeing this because i've been messing around with the specular highlights so i'm going to do this a basic reset as to what you would see if this is your first time so this is what you would see without any of my adjustments um he has been blurred out the background eh not so much um the way you want to do this you want to fix this part of me is you want to click on the invert button here and then presto bang he is now in focus and he is nicely focused on and everything else is a little blurry now as you look over here you're going to see a whole bunch of things the ones that really matter i think are the radius so depending on how much blur you want to put in there so if we want to go like ultra blurry like he's had 46 beers okay that's one or if you just want a very subtle like maybe i don't know what you thinking 15 let's go with something like that that's yeah that's about right you can mess let's go with 13 right so it's a soft so he's in focus the the background's a little softly blurred um you can make changes to other things down here like brightness and thresholds so if you want to under specular highlight so if you want to like um put some some nice little finishing touches in that can also do that but again i don't want to go way down that rabbit hole this this technique alone you probably do in about 90 seconds if you start front to back on it and that's it guys this guy's out of focus he's in focus the background's nice and soft you've got to depth of blur uh depth of field that's how you do it guys thanks for watching tutorial i got a lot more stuff coming up stay tuned


And that's what I realized, like, most artists are exactly like that.  What is it? And I hop and I hop on. That's the only situation I'll take.  And no, I'm glad you said it. The hard thing about sales is sometimes you've got a cold picture of yourself to the mother that don't care about you. Glad you said it. King Locke says he stopped asking for features after he offered an artist $1 million and got no response. That's crazy. That's a while. A million dollar dub. A million dollar dub. We all, we're going to speculate on who that might be. But let's listen to the clip of talking about it. The man, he gave me about, he gave me two people. I was like, all right, there's one other person I know for sure. He's going to go through the roof just because of who he is. And he's fan base and the machine he got behind him. So I'm like, don't you ask why I was like, uh, by the way, this is him saying the song that I blew up with.  This isn't just randomly asking for a future. This is a song that already became relevant in his niche. Yeah. You know, so it's not just like all the music trash and I'm offering you a lot of money. This is a bona fide opportunity even for the artist itself kind of, you know what I mean, right? This could go for both of us. This could go and be a good love for both of us, especially when you got a million in your pocket. But he said, all right, don't just ask him. I was like, let's offer him some. So I offered him a million dollars, literally, a million dollars, a million dollars. Before I even physically had it all, I was going, hey, I'm taking this whole million, just going to give it to him. Because you knew what it was worth exactly. But after so long, like I said, I don't know the reason why it never said no or never said they didn't want to do my first. All right, offer the artist a one million dollars. The artist never even gave energy back. Never even responded. Who do you think that could have been? My first guess was going to be Lil Baby, but I think Key Glock and Lil Baby might have been starting to buzz around the same time. Maybe, I don't have some. My next guess is future. Your next guess is future? The only reason I think future is because I remember this clip of Meg the Stallion, talking about how she had to pay a quarter million for a future or something like that. So I know future is already within the realm of prices where an artist that doesn't know his price might think he would want that much, you know what I'm saying, or it cost that much. So then my next guess would be Drake. See, I don't think it's Drake. Because it made it seem like the niche was right, and it was perfect, and I think at some point he even said like it'd be good if his fan base, my fan base or something like that. Drake isn't really, like he's a steroid, right? He'll add some acceleration onto the track, but that's not, his fan base isn't necessarily Key Glock. You know what I mean? So I wouldn't say that, all right? Drake a little baby, you see some people saying that. Folks gotta learn, oh, let me take a moment to say this. Someone in the comment section said, folks gotta learn how to not take rejection personally. Now you stop asking other people just cause what person didn't work out.  That's what I'm saying, that's bad. They spin? I don't like that comment, you don't hit it with the heart. I got you, I'ma give them a like, put your core in. But at the same time, I feel like a lot of times people just feel like someone's being emotional and are more worried about something than they are. And he might not even be that deep for him. He might just be like, I'ma just keep going out. It might not be so tried and emotional. I don't know. That's so deep cause he ain't putting no features on his album. Man, he brags about it, man, it's a part of his own. That's what I'm saying, you take it and you flip it. And now I'm flipping it, I'ma use it this, why do I need to even worry about that? I like that. I feel that, man, cause artists would do that, bro. Artists would be like, man, like, I don't know, man, that one dude scammed me for like $50. I'll never work with another market again. Okay. Like what? Like what? Man, I held this one artist one time for a feature. He said he was going to bed. It was nine o'clock. I ain't working with these niggas no more ever again. He's like, bro, what are you talking about? He's like, he got songs with Dove. They could look like family in all count. So he might just be like, I don't want to play the industry game. I want to build the way I want to build. There's no difference than artists. I don't want to have a label. You're right, but. I don't want to play the industry game. And I'll only do stuff with people that I probably have a deeper relationship. I'm not about to just go shopping, throw money at people. I'ma focus on mine. Yeah. And that's what I've realized. Like most artists are exactly like that. Hey, if it organically, if I happen to be at the studio one day and future happens to walk past my session, I'm like, this just sound far. What is it? And I hop and I hop on. That's the only situation I'll take. And it's like, no, bro.  And no. Yeah, I'm glad you said it. There's no hard thing about sales.  Glad you said that because I was about to say a lot of artists are like, I'm not a salesman. I'ma go back to this being creative thing because that's a different mode. I don't want to be a salesman. That's exactly what that is when you don't have a relationship. So what you can do best is more so have an A and R, put some stuff together or a certain person or your team advantage who works on bringing all that. But you as the artist putting your energy into doing that a lot. I don't even think that works anyway. Quick second. Have you ever seen an artist catch some traction and then they start to move? The numbers start to grow. They might even go viral, but then fast forward a year from now, somehow their numbers haven't really grown that much. They dropped back close to the same monthly listeners they had before the traction and viral moment. Well, that's because you have to know how to convert those moments into careers. And we've done this again and again with not only songs, but artists. And so has J.R. McKee who's been a part of helping artists like Lil Durk, Rod Wave, Justin Scott and Money Long. And we just did a collab where J.R. McKee does a step-by-step breakdown of how he took Money Long from zero to millions of monthly listeners and winning a Grammy over Beyonce, Mary J. Bly's and Jasmine Sullivan. Check out this breakdown while we still have it up. You can check it out at www.brandmannetwork.com slash Grammy. Don't forget the www or it won't work. Again, that's www.brandmannetwork.com slash Grammy. Back to the video. Long term. He's like, how I do it? All right. Are you trying to do a setup out here? You using DJ Khaled? Are you trying to put him in a lot of fire? I'm just saying, man. He do it. If you don't look at him, they don't respect DJ Khaled's artist. I feel like Lil Wayne do it. Lil Wayne do what? I feel like Lil Wayne tells the artist he wants to work with it. He's the one that likes them. I feel like he's doing that. I don't think it's a team of people. Because the way the other artists talk about being blessed from the other side, they be sounding like he resolved them. Yeah. And so I feel like he do it. That's not selling. That's giving. That's blessing. I'm a little way. And I'm going to bless you at this moment. You can turn it down, but it's probably not gonna be turned out. Yeah. It's like, I think it was a night. I don't think it was young blue. It was somebody turned out. I think Rye Wave turned down a Drake. Oh yeah. He did talk about it, yeah. Cause it really didn't work. But generally speaking, if it works and it goes, most people are gonna say, yes, it could have made that work. See, it's hobby film, man. You got, you are, it's me and that work, bro. You got like 50 songs made. Probably more than that. You don't fit on that ease. I don't believe that. Drake was inspired by that.  You know what I'm saying? Sometime. No problem with that. I'm against many of the obstacles. I feel like you can have somebody on your team to do that though. Yeah. You still want to have somebody in place. I don't want to say don't stop. Don't ever look for features again, but cause you gotta think his background, he's more from the hustle background, where they are the ones with them on that. You can hear the rapper mentality. Right. So instead of me being the hustle to actually, cause a lot of artists never want to make that I'll reach anyway. Yeah. Straight.  I'm going to go back to me and mine, pay attention to my block. And then if something goes, it's going to go. Cause I could win however I want it. And he had off. So that's different. Wayne, again, out here, blessing people. He's not asking people. That could be some arguments made for that. Cause he's shining. He's shining. He's shining. You cross pie, Kaz. I'm a little Wayne. Nah, Wayne. Exactly. But you thank you above or no? If you got a manual, I might think about it. Why you thank you above rejection? Wayne? I mean, look, the humility says yes, but the reality says. Come on. We know this up. But that's the thing. Like I said, to your point, if his mind says, I would never reach out for a feature ever again. Yeah, I'm cool with that. If the mindset is I would never do features, try to do features ever again.  Like I would love to hear like, like a, like a Key Glock and Steve Lacey song. You probably reached out to Steve Lacey.  You know what I'm saying? So that's off the table right there. I love to hear a Key Glock do something with like Kanye. I love to hear Kanye drop some spiritual soulful song and then know that surprise feature you never see coming on the song. They just be like, damn, is that nigga? I love for that to be Key Glock.  But it sounds to me like that's not gonna happen cause he don't want to do features no more. And as a fan, as a fan, I feel hurt. I feel personally attacked. They don't think about that, man. They don't think about the collaborations that we as fans wish would happen. And that means that we are not even a step closer to any of those happenings. Call it selfish, call it what you want. But that's how I'm looking at it. Hey, when I was an artist, I'd be like, yep. I'm not thinking about y'all. Not in this case. I think it's hard for me to imagine to be in the future unless a couple circumstances, right? Cause for one, the future is giving the impression to me that he's about his money. Like from a hustle perspective, not like, oh man, I'm super worried about this stuff being corny or like, oh, you got the bag? All right, cool. I'll pull it as long as the bag is right. All right? Like Boosie's like that. All right? As long as the bag is right. As long as the bag is right. I know what to do with a meal. I know how hard it is to make a meal. Let me go ahead and get that, all right? Now, so maybe nobody got to him and he never actually heard or again, assuming it was future, I'm just trying to figure out how it cannot work out. I would have to imagine that futures plugged in with some folk that gotty, not gotty. Dolph, my bad. That Dolph and Glock, as I meant to say Glock were beefing against. And maybe he didn't want to play no kind of size or get into something. That's the only type of thing that I could think would keep him from doing it. If it were future. So now I feel like it was Chief Keith. I don't know why. That's what I'm saying. It made me lean. I don't know, not because I ain't beefing him, but just, I don't know why. It made Chief Keith come up. Who was the other person we had a future and we had, I said a little baby, but I think, I made him a little baby was kind of coming up rising. Yeah, it seemed like it would make sense. I'm trying to think of where Rapper is and his demographic would have been like, it would have been like, yeah, it would have been a little bit of a future, maybe 21 Savage, but I think he has a song with 21 Savage, so I don't think of him. Who was maybe the baby? Who else been going crazy at that time in that demographic? I saw it go, man. I don't know. Well, y'all, if y'all feel like y'all might know who it is, let us know.


It's not a brand new house. It's actually an older home, but I moved I had surgery things were like crazy and I Yes, I will be showing you all of that But today I just wanted to sit down have a very easy video of me just sharing with you a couple of the things That I've been enjoying since I've been away. I did some therapy shopping So that was all kinds of fun. And so that means that I have a lot to show you before we get started I always like to show you what I have on so today. I'm just wearing a really pretty blouse. That is a knit blouse I love the neckline on this. I think it's so pretty It has a geometric design on it little puff sleeve with an armband very true to size I think I bought this in a medium And it works just perfect for me and it does come down just barely and glides right at the trash And also down in the description box I will have all the makeup that I have on my earrings my necklace all of that good stuff So that you can look at that and decide whether or not that's something you would like We're gonna get into this because I have a lot to share with you I had a Korean skin care company reach out to me and they sent me this big huge package of Korean skin care But these are the two products that stood out the most to me and the first one is land bill Ultra lifting EGF ampule high concentrations of EGF and FGF now EGF stands for Epidermal growth factor and FGF stands for fiber blast growth Factor fiber blasts are the cells that do create collagen. So this is helping that and it's also helping our epidermis Which is also part of that plumping that keeps us looking more youthful. This is a very thin serum I love this doesn't have a lot of water in it as a matter of fact I don't think it has any water in it It is just chocked full of really good ingredients and there is a 20% off sale on Amazon going on for this right now. Now. This is my first bottle I'm almost done with it getting ready to buy another one And I am somebody that really likes to use something for a long time before I bring it to you But I have been noticing softening and fine lines and wrinkles Especially around my eyes. I'm really excited about that So this was a yes for me and then also from that same company land bill This is the supernatural cream 70 to our moisturizing cream that Simultaneously supplies moisture and moisture to dry and weaken skin and protect skin Barriers now I use this at night because this is a heavier cream Also, this is a fabulous cream for my hands as well. I really love this for my hands But it's a pretty thick cream. So if you're somebody that's very oily You're probably not gonna like that But if you're somebody that goes to bed at night and then you wake up in the morning and your skin is super dry like mine Then you're going to love this because that does not happen I'll put this on and in the morning when I wake up my skin is still moisturized And I love that because that's what creates the plumped up looking skin That's what helps soften those lines and those wrinkles and all of those things that we're trying to combat as We're doing this pro-aging. I'm trying to say pro-aging instead of anti-aging as we're doing this pro-aging Another product that I actually got at Walmart. Now. I have been a die-hard good molecules niacinamide toner fan Still love that stuff. I think it's fantastic But I did find this at Walmart and I wanted to try it This is the disappearing act niacinamide PC and poor vanished micro purifying toner It's alcohol-free and it's fragrance-free what niacinamide is really good at is helping our pores look diminished and Refining that overall appearance of the texture on our skin And it's very soothing niacinamide can be used with anything if you want to use it before You use vitamin C if you want to use it with your acids with your retina any active ingredient You can use this my thing would be to let this dry down and then use your active ingredient afterwards But niacinamide is so good for your skin. It's a vitamin and so it's feeding our skin and this one is a really good one I've really been enjoying this one as well I have only been using this about three weeks and that's how much is used up So this is a big one and I think it's gonna last me a long time and I'm really really enjoying it All right, these pretty things right here are nail polishes from I LNP I love nail polish and they're a holographic nail polish. Now. These are so beautiful I don't have my nails painted today because Yeah, it was one of those days this morning thought I was gonna do it this morning, but I did it But look how beautiful these colors are they are just gorgeous and all of them either have a super high Metallic shine to them or they have a holographic look to them now Let me just show you this one right here really close Hopefully you'll be able to see that this is a purple pink with a light blue periwinkle shift in there So pretty this one is a darker one that has pinks Deep pinks burgundies and a little bit of a green in there I just think these are so gorgeous it only takes two coats to give you exactly what the bottle shows which I love and They last like crazy. I mean I could put these on no chips for like ten days It that's unheard of with me because I have always got chip nails if I'm using a regular cream polish I just haven't been able to find one yet that doesn't chip But these are really good and they come in a million different colors and as you can see I went crazy I bought six so I'm excited about these and I think that you will really love them if you love painting your natural nails Or if you love painting your acrylics as well, they stay on forever. All right during the Amazon Prime sale I went nuts as usual, but I bought some really cool things And one of the things that I thought is this makeup bag I usually carry around a huge makeup bag and I mean a big one But with this I don't have to and this is no organization hardly at all on your makeup bag Which is unheard of for me because I am the person that just likes to have things organized But this is not what is so cool about this is that this opens up It sits on your counter or on your vanity and it completely opens up so you can see every single thing in there I think this is awesome It does have a zipper pocket right here in the middle where you could put lip liners eyeliners Mascaras whatever you want to in there and then it does have a couple of little cubbies on the side right there Where you could stick other things But I don't ever have to worry about where's this where's that and that's what I when I had my big huge one Not only did I carry around way more than I needed I also was having a hard time seeing everything this you can see absolutely everything in I am in love with this thing when it pulls up it pulls up pretty compact and then it has the handle right there This is so sturdy. It's vinyl. You can wipe it with a talif against dirty and gets makeup on it I am so glad I got this I cannot tell you how Excited I am to have this particular product because I did a lot of shopping like I said But I think this is my favorite product that I got during the prime day sale The other thing that I picked up that I was really excited about is this mirror that is a compact mirror now You have all probably seen me show another mirror right here that I have shown many times on my channel But this mirror sold out and it's gone and so nobody can get this anymore now This was a regular mirror on one side and then the five-time magnifying on the other side But this mirror right here. It's the regular. I'm not gonna turn it and blind you guys It's the regular on one side, but it's the ten times magnifying on the other side Which is really good for me when I'm trying to pluck my eyebrows because I'm blind as a bat up close It's it's pathetic, but what's fun about this is it has all of its controls on the back It does have a charger. So yes, it is rechargeable This thing is awesome in how bright it is as you can see right there can have just one side on without the other If you want it that way. I just really like this I really ain't been enjoying it and it's big enough that I can use it to do all of my makeup a lot of those Compact mirrors that you find when they're travel mirror They're very small, but this one is really great to have and just put into a makeup bag That's about that size fits perfectly. And so I really have been enjoying this one as well Guess I'm a pink person, right?  They're gonna get Turn they're gonna get caught in the zipper. Something's gonna happen to them But this is my favorite brush my favorite dual-sided brush from Hourglass. I love this brush It's my favorite dual-sided brush of all time and I use this brush every single day So I love taking it with me But I would shy away from taking it with me because I didn't want it to get ruined in the bottom of my makeup bag In walks this silicone brush holder. I love this thing It does fit more than one brush, but I don't have one brush in it The other thing is it does have a magnetic closure right there But it's super flexible and super easy to get your brushes out of this is great for saving your brushes And if you're somebody that has a lot of product on your brushes, this won't get your makeup bag dirty either It will get the inside of this little silicone pouch dirty, but you're gonna keep your makeup bag really really clean So this was a yay also and then this girls we have to talk about this kind of stuff I'm sorry, but this kind of stuff happens.  I could not find Silicone pasties that would work for me that wouldn't make me look like my areola was just bigger and That was the problem. I would put him on I'd stand up and I would look at my husband And I would say you could see these can't you and he go yeah, it looks just looks like your areola is bigger So when I found these I was so excited about it. I don't even remember how many came in here I think there's five pairs in here looks like five, but I am on my first pair still This is not them. I do have some on and you can't tell at all but what's great is that you have that Coverage and you're not you know beaming it everybody and when it's cold or you know Whatever, but I just love these. I really love them They're very easy to wear and they're very easy to remove But what's great about them is they have lasts such a long time I'm on my first pair and I think that I have been wearing them for two months and nothing They're nothing wrong with them and you can clean these very easy if you want to clean the sticky side You just take an alcohol wipe and you can clean that and it cleans them really well And they're back to being like new so I love these the first ones that I have found that don't make me look weird And so yeah gotta talk about that kind of stuff. We're girlfriends. Here's another cool gadget that girlfriends talk about so this right here is one of those guns that looks like they use in retail where they I just look like I was gonna shoot myself in the head, but where they put on the tags That's what it looks like it is well It's not that so the only way I can show you is to use like a tissue because I don't have anything right here that I Can use this with but what it is is you take this part right here This actually does have a guard that comes on it So you're not gonna poke yourself when it's in the drawer or wherever you decide to store it So you take this you put it through your fabric. It doesn't make holes in the fabric I really have enjoyed that about it and you just shoot it and what happens is it takes the little piece of plastic That's right here and it creates the closure for it So if you have a top I always have these blouses that they gape right there and you can see straight down into my top So using this I usually use it twice on the top like that in between the buttons and it keeps it Very very secure so you can't open it or it doesn't open when you go like this now if you stretch too much It's gonna pop it because they're not that strong And I do like that for one reason when you open it you can pull it apart and it's not going to damage the fabric So this has been a lifesaver for me Cool little gadget, but a tiny uses for me Alright, I wanted to show you that I went a little bit berserk with the graphic tease during the prime days These teas are so pretty. I had no idea that Amazon had such pretty graphic teas and they're right up my alley They're ones that I really love this one is a sunflower print and then it has puzzles puzzle pieces right here that burst out I thought that was so pretty This is in a dark gray heather and then this one right here is a sunflower black and white print Sunflower right here with a butterfly right here I wore this out and somebody stopped me and asked me where I got it and they said it looks like a tattoo That is one of the coolest shirts So this is a blue heather and then this one also is a sunflower on it It's the yellow color and what bursts out of the petals of the sunflower are butterflies I just thought that was so pretty and then this one is probably my favorite because you guys know I adore my dogs black and white sunflower and then what bursts out of it is the puppy paws So I just thought that all of those were so cute and I wanted to share them with you There's a ton an absolute ton of different kinds of graphic teas on Amazon and yeah, just go looking in there a little bit But these were some of my favorites and I make sure that they're all linked for you below Then I wanted to show you a color block purse. It would not be a favorites video without me showing you a purse However, this is a color block purse. That is the blue and white. I think they had they have a lot of solid colors But I think they had a Pink and white one and maybe a few other colors. I can't remember exactly you'll see when you get on there But this comes with another Medium-sized purse and then it comes with the wallet as well, which I've already given away to my sister So, you know that but I love the color blocking on it. I love the buckles I love the gold trim on it It does also come with the strap that you can use as a cross body if you need to use that and It has just one big pocket inside Although it does have the zipper and then the sunglasses or whatever you decide cell phone Whatever you decide on that side. I do like having a one pocket, but yeah Things get kind of lost way down in there But that's okay because I think this purse is gorgeous Besides the two-tone earrings that I have on I had to show you these hoops Because these little hoops are so pretty These are a rhinestone hoop and they're you know, they're a little bit bigger than the ones I have on Let me just try them on for you So they're a little bit bigger than these but they have this cute little Rhinestone all the way around but right there. Can you see that the rhinestone has a little butterfly in it? I will try to get really close so that you can see that we have a little butterfly rhinestone right there So cute. I would say that these are probably about a two-inch hoop I love hoops anyway, but when I saw these and my love of butterflies It was like, okay, that's really cool And I'm really gonna have to pick those up and I think that they also come and not just silver I think they come in gold as well. So these were a great purchase for me These are two clips that come as a set and they are some of the prettiest claw clips I have seen in a very long time. I love these if you have thick hair You're gonna be able to put all of your hair in there. Ah, it holds my hair really tightly It isn't loose at all sometimes when I get these claw clips They're not tight enough because my hair is very fine. These are tight enough So it does come in the silver and it comes in the gold as a two-pack But I love that it also has the pearl on accent on there And it kind of just elevates it a little bit where I'm with jeans where I'm with dresses where I'm with anything but I love these I thought these were so pretty and Definitely wanted to share them with you because I'm always on the lookout for something during the summer That's gonna hold my hair up off my neck because of how bloody hot it is right now It is still so hot where we're at. I don't know about you guys Let me know what your temperature is when you leave a comment down below because I think we're still in the right around the hundreds So it's hot to round this favorites video out I'm gonna share with you something that I completely spaced off, but I absolutely love and that is this Koki foundation Koki cosmetics gets overlooked I think because I don't think you can buy these in any stores You might be able to still buy it in Kroger or righty, but I don't have those around me at all So I get mine off of Amazon or I order right from their website now. This is their full coverage foundation this is a Gorgeous foundation. I am wearing it today. It acts and looks so much like the Estee Lauder double wear It is like a demi matte Not a satin not a radiant nothing like that. It still acts like a matte foundation and I love this stuff It has complete coverage But if you want to you can go ahead and you know put it into your primer Or put a little bit of moisturizer in it or a drop of oil and you can get it to be a lot thinner But one coat and you've got full coverage I forgot how much I loved this And uh, the reason that I bought it is because Jen Phelps was talking about their new concealer Which I also got she was talking about this new concealer and I got on there And I was like I forgot about how much I loved that and when I got it. I was like what is wrong with my head I love this so much. It's so pretty now as far as the concealer goes Again, this is their full coverage concealer and this is really nice If you're somebody that has dark circles from hell like I do. I mean I have bad dark circles I like this also because even though it's really really hot right now This is almost like a self setting concealer So you get the full coverage But you're getting one that you don't have to put powder on top of so you're not going to see all the wrinkles and the crinkles Underneath your eyes. So when I was putting it on I was just shocked what I did was I put it on Kind of put it on a little bit thicker without blending it out And then I just let it set down and then went back in with my dampen beauty sponge And it was almost set down to the point to where I wasn't lifting any product up and I was like wow That was really cool. So this is a good one. It's a really good one Now I will tell you that I contacted koki because when I got on their website and when I got on amazon It seemed like a lot of these shades were out of stock And so when I emailed them I asked them if they were getting rid of this particular foundation They wrote back and told me no, we're not getting rid of it But what we are doing is trying to expand our shade range because they don't really have a great shade range They're trying to expand their shade range But they're finding that they're running into a few problems with supplies right now Which just about every company post covet is having supply problems But they are keeping this and they are going to expand their shade range Same with the full coverage concealer. They're going to expand their shade range. So super Yay, I love both of these so much now I wanted to also show you this product from koki and by the way I bought all of this myself koki is not sponsoring this and they didn't send anything to me The transform mix foundation mixer and this is the dewy now They have one that is matched So if you're somebody that has a lot of radiant foundations and you just found that you don't like radiant foundation that much They have a mixer that you can get but what I got was the radiant one because I have Matte foundations, but I like a more natural finish like what we were just talking about with their foundation but what is so cool about this is I was rubbing it in and I was really surprised because it feels so hydrating. It just feels super duper hydrating not greasy just hydrating But it does feel like a heavier hydration Got to tell you that too So you need a very small amount of it and what you're going to see I'm trying to I got too much on here. You just need to drop her too What you're going to see is the difference in how radiant this is this isn't completely dried down and like I said I got too much on here But the difference in this is going to give you a radiant finish Whereas this doesn't have anything on it and you're just going to have that matte finish when you have the foundation on I do have it mixed in with the foundation today And I feel like it really did give me a much more radiant Look to my skin then just having the matte foundation, which again, I love I love the full coverage But I really do like having a little bit more dewy a little bit more radiant. That's all the rage right now anyway, so loved that I also did pick up their pressed powder foundation I got mine in cool beige and I think this might be a little bit light But I really like the feel of this powder I haven't tried this much yet. I will tell you that I haven't had a chance to work too much with it But I did want to tell you that I got it and it feels super light It doesn't feel super drying when I look at a powder foundation I'm always looking for one that is not that drying So this one feels really light really airy and I actually can't wait to use this and play around with it But I did want to tell you that they do have this one as well All right, that is it for today's video I hope that you did enjoy seeing all of my goodies that I rounded up very recently And I have missed you guys so much and I can't wait to make that other video and tell you everything that's been going on I'm doing so much better and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all of your well wishes and your warm thoughts and Everything that you sent to me while I was down you would damn me It was a process to get to where I was feeling good enough to be able to film again But I am feeling so much better and I'm so thankful for all of you because you all Just were so kind and sweet and now you're here back again And I love it.

This, wait, captioning. This is an official live stream of the CNCF and as such is subject to the CNCF Code of Conduct. Please do not add anything to the chat or questions that would be in violation of that Code of Conduct. Basically, be respectful of all your fellow participants and presenters. And with that out of the way, welcome to CNC Faceoff, the game where our waffles are the shape of Chicago and we serve St. Louis style cut bagels in the green room. It is great. It is with great privilege and honor. I wanna introduce our host live from Chicago but from Dev of States, Houston, the ever luscious Maddie Stratton. Welcome to the semifinal round of CNC Faceoff. The winner of this round will move on to face the SRE Street Band in our very final episode, which will be taking place the week before Kubecon date to be announced exactly because it depends on who wins. And they will be the recipients of the coveted CNC Faceoff Cup. And we'll be making a big deal about that at Kubecon, both virtually and in person, whichever way you are choosing to participate in your Kubecon this year. So let's get started before we get into the game. We're gonna meet our players and then we'll talk a little bit about how the game works. So first is the champion of episode one of CNC Faceoff, the Rhodes Galleries and our first player, there is a cat. Cat, welcome back to this prestigious honor of being here at the semis. Prestigious, yes. Hello everybody. My name is Cat Cosgrove. I am a staff developer advocate at Pulumi. And last time we kind of cleaned house, even though Rich doesn't know what animals are, I guess, and we're all never gonna forgive him for that, but we'll try to move on as a team. Thanks for having me. The next player on the Rhodes Gallery was Mr. Tim Banks. So Tim, you know, kind of going into semis, you got probably a lot going on in the mental game here. What's your plan for victory today? My main goal for victory is to talk so much smack about Chicago that Matt slips up and gives us the answers.  You know, that might work possibly. I mean, that's probably a good plan too, but we wanna at least have a chance to soundly beat the Tinkerbell team because, you know, because as I understand, you have to paddle Tinkerbell to make it work, right? Oh my God. So I've heard, so I've heard. And then speaking of the bottom, the anchor of the Rhodes Gallery is Rich, so Rich.   So is that gonna mess with your head today, do you think? Not at all. I've been watching a lot of 90s professional wrestling lately and, you know, getting inspired to break some people in half. Fantastic, we're gonna break it off. All right, so facing off against the Rhodes Gallery, we have our other contestants in the semis and the Tinkerbells. So kicking things off with us there is David. So David, I understand that a CNC face-off is done a little bit differently in Europe than it is in America. Is that gonna throw you here in the semis? Well, you mean the semis, right? I don't know, are you gonna get relegated? Is that a thing? Nice. Well, it's not a semis, it's the semis, but I know we'll leave that little full past side for now. Maybe that's a Chicago thing, I'm not entirely sure. But it's a pleasure to be here and I'm excited. To win this one as easily as we won the last one. Right, team? I don't know, next player here, coming in from team Tinkerbell is Jeremy. So Jeremy, you know, I think you gave quite a performance in the earlier appearance and can your fans expect more of the same? Absolutely. Today, we choose violence also and a tiny amount of love to our friend Marty who's not able to be with us today. And said, yes, so Marty or, you know, Maddie or however, Martin, whatever we're both confusing ourselves, Marty Markey. So yeah, unfortunately, so Markey was the third member of team Tinkerbell and is unable to participate today, but filling in is, sorry, is Mark. So Mark as opposed to Markey. So that's good, that's a good swap. Do you think filling those shoes is gonna be just as easy as just dropping a Y off the name? That's the first time I've ever played this game but I'm feeling incredibly confident. I think listening to some of the green room talk just before we went live, we got this one in the bag. Fantastic. So if you are joining us, thank you for doing.  So Paul, if we're getting ready to, are we ready for our first face-off, Mr. Sarkowski? We are absolutely ready to go. Okay, so facing off first will be a cat facing off against David. So if you can get your hands on your virtual buzzers, either the top or the bottom of the buzzer, that's your call. I'm not here to judge. We'll go ahead and see what our first question is. So we have asked hundreds of software engineers, if you didn't work in tech, what would your profession be? What do you think is the top answer? Buzzing in first was cat. So cat, what's your guess? Lama Farmer. Show me Lama Farmer. Survey says. Damn. No. So David has the ability to steal. So David, if you can guess an answer, actually, no, this isn't a steal, right? They just get to play. All right, David, we'll start with you then. I'm kind of torn between exotic dancer or lawyer. I think I'll go for lawyer. All right, survey says show me lawyer. Oh, first strike for team Tinkerbell. All right, Jeremy. That's surprising because I know a lot of people who do open source license wearing for free on Twitter. Well, yeah, so it's not really that lucrative because people are willing to do it for free, whether you want them to or not. Yeah, you're not a chance to give it away for free. That's true, that's true, you're just a hobbyist. Jeremy, what are you thinking here? We asked hundreds of software, cloud native software engineers if they didn't work in tech, what would their profession be? Obviously, it's on the board. Woodworker, Dejapetro life. Show me a woodworker or carpenter. Survey says. Damn, really? No, carpenter. Okay, so we've got one good move there. All right, Mark, again, we've asked hundreds of cloud native engineers if they didn't work in tech, what would their profession be? You still got two strikes left and five more possible answers on the board. Wait, it was or it wasn't? Yak Shaver. Yak Shaver? Did I hear that right? Yeah. Show me Yak Shaver. Survey says.  There's four points at stake right now. If you get this wrong, then the Rogues Gallery has a chance to steal. You've got five answers in one strike. If you didn't work in tech, what might your profession be? What do you think were the top five answers? Just any of them, for that matter, to be fair. Architect. Show me architect. No, all right, so Rogues Gallery, you have the chance to steal. You confer among yourselves, you come up with one answer. If that answer is on the board, you will steal those points, plus the four big points that are on the board. All right, Matt, what are you thinking? I think Tinker Bell still actually has one more shot because the first one was actually for the first question because I hit the wrong button. Oh, they got three wrong answers. They actually got three wrong answers. No, they got three wrong answers. They did. The first strike that's on the left was for Kat. Oh, yes, okay. There's four, yeah, no, we're good, we're good. We had a break, I forgot how this works. It's been a while. See how they do, right? Can we start again? Okay, so I think that the answer should be that I would not work. Like I would prefer to just not do labor. So I was gonna say musician, but that's about the same thing. I know a lot of engineers who are musicians. That was actually what I was gonna suggest to you. Yeah, but it's basically not like working. So I mean, it was the last thing your time you heard of an employed musician. As a musician? Yeah.  Yeah, but they're all gig workers. They're like Uber drivers of music. A countdown timer? So are we going musician or are we going? Yeah, I was gonna say, we're gonna need an answer here, Robes. I like musician, but I'll leave it up to you. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I could take musician, like technically not working as in a profession, although I think that the majority of my friends would answer this question that I would not labor, but I think we can go musician. Rich is chill? Sure. All right, show me musician. Oh, we already did, here we go. It was number two answer on the board. So that means it'll be 16 points to the rogues, but let's see what the remaining answers on the board were. I'll show me, I'd be an idol rich or a person of leisure was one of the choices. Person of leisure? That's some incredibly powerful, like rich white person. Wait, wait, wait. Person of leisure, not unemployed, not deadbeat, not welfare recipient, but person of leisure. There's a difference. It's because it's like the idol rich, right? The idea is huge. That's how I know you ain't interviewed no black people. Oh my God, Tim. Also, idol rich is a very specific answer for rich. Yeah. What else do we have? What's the next answer on the board? A bartender or server of some kind? Yeah. Okay, so. You know what? Teacher, is number one teacher? And number one is teacher, yes. Of course it is. Now, as a reminder, if people are not sure, just remember, some of these are concatenated answers like put together and when we look for patterns. So if that's someone gonna be picky about bartender slash server, it was. Does concatenated mean made up? Probably. Pulled out of your backside. This is done very scientifically. Let's move on to the next round. So this is gonna be. No question, just accept it. Let's move on. We pulled tens of software developers to get these answers. We did, we really did. So we've got for our next face off is Jeremy versus Tim. Hands on your buzzers. Jeremy versus Tim. Okay, hold on. Let me get it. We're good. Okay, are you all ready? Okay, let's see our first question. What CNCF should it? It should say locked. It won't, I won't unlock it until I'm done reading the question out loud. So which CNCF project, not Kubernetes, has your favorite logo? Okay, Tim is our first buzzer. Tim, what do you think is the most popular answer? Wait, do I want the logo or do I want the project? It's the project. Which project? The most popular CNCF project would be? With the most popular logo. The question was, which project has your favorite logo? What do you think was the most popular answer?  Let's go with Argo. Show me Argo. Hell yeah. Argo was the number one answer on the board. So that means the robes will play.  Now you had, it was a similar question to this that got you into so much hot water with Cat last time. So I want you to think carefully. You do have three strikes. Where'd it go? Rich, Rich. This is a hard one. You have three strikes to get four answers. You're in really good shape right now. It would take a lot of work to sort this up. I'm not sure I know any CNCF project. Oh my God. That's fair. Besides Kubernetes. Last. Flux. Are you just making sounds? No, that's a project. What was it? Flux. Oh, Flux. I thought you said Flux. Show me Flux. Oh, we already saw that was a, okay. All right, so there's one strike. We go to Cat. Cat, you got two strikes, you got four answers on the board for the favorite non-Kubernetes logo in the CNCF project. Favorite non-Kubernetes logo. I'm going to go Yeager. Show me Yeager. Survey says, number three answer, excellent. Okay, we're moving on along. Tim, you got three more answers on the board, two strikes to go. Just know that if you get a strike here, it's gonna come all right down to Rich again and that's just not gonna go well for anybody, I don't think, especially Rich. Not to put too much pressure on you. I don't think. Let's go with crossplane. Show me crossplane. Survey says, no. Come on, man. It's a goddamn trans-pride ice cream bar.  I'm gonna say Envoy. Show me Envoy. Survey says, no. Oh, my God. So this gives Tinkerbell the chance to steal. So Tinkerbell, if you're able to collectively come together, so Jeremy, talk to your team. If you can grab one of those three remaining answers, those 13 points will be yours. So I think the correct answer is daily presence, but I think it's such a niche project that we should play it safe and go with either Opa or Falco. What do you think? My three were Prometheus, Fluent D, and Opa. So I was also on Prometheus. I liked the fire. There's also Dragonfly. I don't actually know what it does, but it looks like a sort of umbrella. I seem to remember. Perhaps upside down umbrella. All right. You both said Prometheus. Will we go with Prometheus? Jeremy, give us an answer. Prometheus, please. All right. Show me Prometheus. Survey says, no. The points will go to the Rogues Gallery, but let's see what the three answers are remaining on the board. I'll go ahead and flip them. Okay. We got Opa. Opa Policy Agent was number two. Next we have... Oh, I think he's gotta be on there, right? I don't know. I don't know. That actually should be number one. I can't move in. You know what? I respect that. No thoughts, head empty. The final answer was... Harbour. Harbour? Really, Fluent D's not on there. Fluent D's logo is incredible.  We have a problem. Do we? You didn't get... Oh, did you give the points to them already? Yeah, we got the points already. You gave the points before you revealed more answers. Okay, sorry. I misunderstood. Paul, you are, as always, completely on top of things. All right. I think we're gonna be able to get four rounds in here. So let's go into our third round. This will be Rich facing off versus Mark. I'm gonna go ahead and reset our buzzers already. Contestants, hands on your buzzers. Paul, let's see our next question. Next survey question was named something appealing about working from home. Rich buzzes in first. Rich, name and answer. Not having to wear pants. Show me I don't have to wear pants. Survey says... That is the number three answer on the board, which means I believe Mark gets a chance to guess for the number one answer. If Mark gets the number one answer, then they'll play. Mark, what's your guess? If no pants is number three, then maybe people will be a bit more serious about these questions. So I'm gonna go for no commute. Show me there is no commute. All right, Tinkerbell will play. Okay, so this goes to you now, David. There's three answers left. No strikes, name something appealing about working from home. All right, let's go for cuddles with the pets. Show me I can cuddle with my pets. There we go, dogs, cats, or other pets. All right, Jeremy, two answers and no strikes.  Name something appealing about working from home. I am sitting pretty. I enjoy using my own restroom. Show me my own restroom.  All right, Mark, two more answers and two strikes. Can you name something appealing? We asked hundreds of CNCF cloud native engineers. Name something appealing about working from home. Okay, let me think this through. I was thinking proximity to fridge, but I'm gonna go with proximity to bed. Show me it's close to my bed. Survey says, ease of naps. Okay, David, you can bring it all home here if you're able to guess the number four answer on the board of something appealing about working from home. All right, let's go for breakfast beer. Show me I can have a beer with my breakfast. No. Damn. All right, Jeremy, see if you can get this last one and all these points can be yours. Okay, well, if dogs, cats, pets is on there. Our competitors and friends who saw them in the green room earlier. Proximity of your kids, family. Show me kids or family are around. Survey says, no. All right, ROVES, you have the chance to steal. So this is a, you gotta get that one. I'm thinking maybe better food or like, you know, food. Or, yeah, or you can like, you can take a shower whenever you want. You can shower at your leisure, but that. These are software developers. I don't think showers can be really high on the list, man. I shower. I mean, yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not having to be around people. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. My own hardware. Like my own keyboard and stuff like that. Hmm. Like keyboard desk setup kind of thing. I think that was a downside early on in the panopticon though, you know, cause people had like issues with their home office setups cause they weren't used to having to work from home. Some people, but all the, all the mechanical keyboard nerds were like loving it. Oh, you mean like me? Yeah, yeah. Let me tell you about my mechanical keyboard. Exactly. Let me tell you about my mechanical keyboard.  It sounds like there's a team of horses in my living room. Some mechanical keyboard people are the Chicagoans of accessory lovers. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably true. They're square. The keys are square, right? Maybe for a lot of people, maybe it is for relative quiet is the upside. Like you're not in an open office plan, right? Like being in an open office drove me absolutely apeshit. I hate it. That's why I don't work in offices. So how do, how do we put the button like like quiet office, office setup, office environment? Yeah, maybe like just, just not in an open office, the quiet. Yeah. I like that, Rich. What do you say? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right. So what's, what's that final answer, Rich? Quiet. Not in the room. Show me it's quiet. No. All right. Which means there's the ones, by the way. We'll go over to... Wait, what's for? We're going to show you after he moved after Paul sends the points on over. So give those 42 points to the ropes. And what was the remaining answer? Flexibility in your schedule. I would have accepted can shower anytime you want. Oh man. No, but this is exciting. So this final round will really matter. So we're going into our final round. We're going to have Kat facing off again versus David. Contestants, got your hands on your buzzers? Let's see our last question that will decide who is going to the final round to compete for the coveted CNCF Cup. What is the main way that you communicate with your friends? Kat buzzes in first. Kat, what's the number one answer? Kat is on mute. I'm mute. Oh, signal. Show me signal. Everybody says, that's the number four answer. David, you can steal if you can name the number one answer on the board or the main way to communicate, Pete, that these surveyed engineers communicate with their friends. And I'm going to get some text message or iMessage. Show me text message. Survey says, number one answer on the board, which means Tinkerbell will play. But don't worry. There's a lot of answers still out here. Opportunity to steal. We go to Jeremy. Jeremy, what's the main way you communicate with friends? Let's see our top answers. What's left? The phone. Show me the telephone. That's good. No, not at all. All right. Mark, still two strikes to go, but five answers to reveal. What is the main way you communicate with friends? By the way, there was, we tried to do the thing where they like, they tapped the cards on their hands. Yeah, it got me in the zone. The answer's here, which is more than some of the others. So I'm imagining some people will be in a facetious. I'm going to say one of the answers in here is what friends? Show me, I don't even have friends to talk to. No, okay. Lots of pressure here, David. Nice try. And as I see the math working out, if we are in a position of a steal, would turn everything around. All right, David. David, do you have friends? Can you relate to this question?  I mean, he's going to say Yodel. No, we use smoke signals in Scotland, but I'm going to go with Twitter. Show me Twitter. That's the number six answer. All right, so still alive, still alive. Four answers to go. Jeremy, what do you got for us? In person or let's go with Discord. That's a tool. Show me Discord for developers. Discord is the number three answer, which means we surveyed cat mostly. All right. Sounds like it. All right, Mark, got three more answers, but only one strike left to go for the main way to communicate with friends. All right, Slack's got to be in here somewhere. Slack. Show me Slack. That is so embarrassing, actually. Like honestly, genuinely, that is so embarrassing. Slack is a work tool, y'all. It is a work tool. Please, I'm begging you to interact with humans outside of work. I mean, Salesforce chat or work buddies. I've got to be honest. Of all the Slack channels I'm in, like maybe one is work. Really? All of mine are work and none of my Discord's are work. I do not use Discord for work. It stresses me out. Do not ever DM me about work on Discord, y'all. Ever. All right, David. It is David next, right? Yep, that was... Yeah, it's me next. And I'm tempted to say email, but I'm gonna forget and I'm gonna say in real life, a bar with beer, so... Show me in real life, in person, possibly with beer. Survey says no. Oh, fuck. Okay. Oh, that's two. All right, Kat. What do you mean that? That was two, David. Oop. Oh. I had the first one.  I didn't realize we had our course so early. We just lost our TV 13. We have now moved into TVMA. All right, that being said, we just got a couple of minutes. This is it, right here. This is it, okay. If the Rogues Galleries, if you can steal, you will be going on to the finals. If you are not able to steal, it will go to Team Tinkerbell. You got two possibilities. I'm thinking like Zoom, Zoom video chat. I was gonna guess WhatsApp. WhatsApp is outrageously popular as a messaging platform. It is. I have lots of friends who only use WhatsApp, especially when they're talking to people who live in other countries, but... But yeah, I think Zoom, Zoom slash video chat of some kind. Like a lot of people do that now, especially in the pandemic. We all do video chat, stuff like that. So I think that's what I think. I think video chat. Rich, do you have input? Yeah, Zoom. You're also on Zoom? Okay, well, I'm outvoted. So we'll go video chat. Look at it this way. Even if we're wrong, then you can gloat. That's true. Yeah, yeah. So I win either way. Either I'm going to the finals or I get to Lord over Tim and Rich for an indeterminate period of time. So there's not a downside for me here. Yeah, video chat. Show me Zoom slash video chat. And the survey says... X is already... Or is that the answer? No! The survey says I get to gloat. Yeah. 43 points are awarded to Team Tinkerbell. And after we move those two points on over, let's see what the two remaining answers on the board were. If you don't mind if they're dramatically at the... So Yodeling could have actually worked through there, but the number two answer just to really drive it home is... Oh, wow. That's even better. Not only was Cat... Not only was not... Not only were we wrong, but Cat was right. And we would have won. I'm going to be insufferable about this for... I figure like two weeks is fair, like at minimum. Well, Leading? I'm just going to block you on Twitter right now. You think I don't have all this, Rich? Let's see. But, Cat... Rich, I have like five Twitter accounts. What are you going to do? Cat, if you only do it for a couple of weeks, you won't be able to gloat at Cubepan. So I think you do need to extend to a little longer. That's true. Yeah, I should drag it out. I need some. Yeah, yeah. So that's... I think the only problem is that this is like 17 people actually watching this. So I don't know. I have 25,000 Twitter followers. You do. No one's going to know the fact you're talking about. Oh, but it will be recorded. Do we have a lot of replay value on this show? Yeah, why don't we have 25,000 viewers, Cat? What are you doing? Yeah, yeah. That brings us to... I could just mostly... That's true. Yeah, yeah. PeterPG13. This brings us to the end of our episode, the end of the finals. So Team Tinkerbell will be moving on to face the SRE Street Band. Take... Make sure that you are subscribed to CNCF TV to know when this is coming up and follow me on Twitter at Matt Stratton and then you'll also know. And that's going to bring us out.  Wait, is that it? That was your sign-off line? That was your sign-off line, Matt. That's the best you've come up with. Sorry, should I hit Stop Stramming now or what's going on? Oh, yeah. I mean, sorry. I burped into the microphone. That was great. I'll go ahead and hit Stop Stramming.


The oil of big play man was little number 84, Billy Johnson, a slippery escape artist who can turn a simple punt return into a geometry lesson. Opposing bomb squatters soon learned about Johnson's style, it's improvised, made up on the spot, because to number 84, the shortest distance between two points is any way he's headed. The 15th round draft that freelanced himself to fourth place among the AFC punt returners, and doubled as a wide receiver, where his quick score potential kept defenses wobbling from his rubber legs routine.
