There are so many competing interests here at the World Economic Forum, so many brilliant panels. So it's so lovely. You could all come up to Aspen 3 and come and join. Well, I think it's going to be a brilliant chat as well. I am stunningly passionate about the food I eat and where I get it from and what it means to the communities that create that food. And this magnificent panel, a large number of them are the people in between me and those producers. But we need to improve things, don't we? I mean, I've just backed from Dubai. It's a little bit hotter there as well. And I did not spend 30% of my time talking about food. I spent probably 50, 60% of my time talking about energy. It's great. We need to talk about that. But some of the stats which you may or may not have paid attention to, I'm not going to test you all. So I'll give you a little bit of a run-through of what we just saw on the video as well. The first mover coalition for food. This is a brilliant initiative as well. Just building on the first mover coalition work that the World Economic Forum has done in various sectors as well. On the 1st of December in Dubai, 20-plus corporates got together to work with partners such as research partners, corporations, UAE government backing this as well. I had to change one thing on my notes already because from 20-plus, Daniel, correct me here, I think it's 30-plus now. We're 30-plus on this one, so it's pretty impressive. And what is the aim? I think you know that. That's why you're here. To accelerate sustainable farming and production methods and technologies, leverage collective demand. Look at the power of these three companies. Plus we've got a philanthropist on board as well, but the power of just these three alone. We're talking about an industry that has literally trillions of dollars worth of revenues. Look what that industry can do by sending the right demand and procurement signals as well. So if we have the power of aggregate demand, we're looking for a low base. $10-20 billion worth of combined procurement from coalition members. That should be very attainable. PepsiCo could do it on their own. You can see where this one's going, can't you? Put them on. He worked with me last year, he's only just got over it. We're flipping, we're flipping. Don't get me on the other side, I mean, I can do this all day. Right, it shouldn't be too hard, should it, as well. A combined revenue globally of $2.1 trillion as well. Founding members, leading food companies who see the need for more sustainable practices and innovations in food production system. Now, since December, participants have been looking at identifying and shaping the new pathways to support and mobilise demand and get that transformation going as well. The initial results, I think, are going to be published later this year, middle of the year 2024, so we're hoping for something there. About the same time that Madam Lagarde told us that we might get a rate cut. So who knows if that's a coincidence. Right, so I'd go for the other numbers again, they're devastating. You should have seen them on the panel, on the board there. I think you know it, that's why you're here anyway. I'll just go through it one more time. Food systems, 30% of greenhouse gases does not get 30% of the attention. Megan knows about this, it doesn't get a 30% of the philanthropy, it doesn't get 30% of the money, but wow, think what we can do. 30% of greenhouse gases receive less than 4% of climate financing. How about that for an imbalance? 70% of global agricultural food systems, GHGs come from just six commodities. Gilberto, we'll move on to that. Beef, cattle, dairy, rice, row crops, soy, palm oil as well, count for over 70% of freshwater usage. Water, we need to talk more about water and we're running, you know, the glaciers are melting, I mean, there's so many that we need to be so conservative in our use of water, but we're not, are we? Over 80% of all deforestation as well. The parties are going to give off a clear signal here today as well about the sizeable demand signal for low carbon and nature-positive agri-food commodities as well. The accelerate adoption of sustainable technology as well. Technology is there. I keep hearing it, whether it's in the seed science. We talked about buy-out with buy-out last year, about the seed science, the technology is there. The practices are there. The ways of doing this, it's just a question of the adoption at a bigger scale as well. New additions to the coalition as well. Unfortunately, I've represented from China, and you couldn't make it as well, but they're joining as well. Agra, the world farmers' organisation, and hot off the press. In fact, I think he's on the press yet, he's so hot off the press. It's the World Food Programme, Cindy McCain giving a real endorsement to that as well. And I think it's somewhere in the region of a billion as well. So, again, it puts that $10 to $20 billion worth of revenue procurement in perspective. Right, now, I've spoken long enough. I'm hoping this amazing panel will spend a lot of time talking amongst themselves about the key issues as well. Ramon Lugwata, he's the chairman and CEO of PepsiCo. By the way, I'm not going to do big descriptions. You can look up these, ladies and gentlemen, you know who they are pretty much as well. Axton Salim is the director and member of the board of Indo Food as well. Gilberto Tomazzoni is the global CEO of JBS. Nice to see you, sir, as well. And Megan Scarcella, who's the executive director of 1111 Foundation, will just come out of this from a philanthropy angle as well. There's lots to say there as well. Ramon, I'm going to start off with you as well. The power of PepsiCo and the companies of your size is quite extraordinary as well. You're a founder member of the movement as well. Your team is actively working to shape the policies of the Institute. Talk about the ultimate big-picture goals for us. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. This is, I think, fundamental to us. It's fundamental to PepsiCo as well. The food system, as you mentioned, has a lot of opportunities and it has some big objectives. Now, we need to feed 8 billion people with nutritious food in a way that we don't deplete resources of the planet. And also, very important, you mentioned, that the farmer needs to earn very good living. And we need to keep farmers farming as a very critical delivery of this transition. So, you know, we see ourselves, obviously, you mentioned the scale, but it's not only the scale. It's also our values that drive this. If we want to have PepsiCo continuing to be a high-performing company, we are a $50 billion company plus our beverage business. We're over $90 billion. So, we see us as a critical actor in our decisions, but also as thought leaders of the broader ecosystem trying to make this transition happen. And to me, there are two big actors in this transition. One is the farmer and the other one is the consumer. And we have the opportunity to impact both. This coalition, obviously, is about giving the farmer certainty or a bit more certainty or reduced their risk in transforming the way they do agriculture and the way they've been doing agriculture for many years. And in this transition, there is a financial risk for them. So, I think there is a technical transfer of knowledge to them and there is some financial de-risking of this transformation that, hopefully, this coalition of, you know, large companies and medium-sized companies with their purchasing power, the risks that transition for the farmer, which, to me, is the critical agent that we need to put at the centre of this transition and understand is their psychology, their finances, their technical knowledge, and the social elements that surround the farmer. I'm going to ask you just to follow up on this as well, but it's not one of the questions I've already got, Q, it's just listening to you speak. It's like, we need to de-risk for the farmer as well. Why haven't we been doing that up till now? Why haven't the biggest procurers of food, the amazing companies we have here, plus the rest of the industry, what has the industry been getting wrong up to date? You kind of almost got to look in the mirror and say, what you haven't been doing and what you need to do more of. I think the last, I would say, four or five years, the industry has pivoted to not only focusing on the growth, but the how of this growth. And I think it's been a pivotal moment. You mentioned COP for the first time. We were able to put food at the centre of the COP discussions now. And we've been working on this for quite some time. The food, the transformation of the food system is something we've been working for quite some time. But finally, we're putting this at the centre of the governments, at the centre of broader societal transformations, because I think it has, as you said, big impact on emissions, big impact on water, big impact on the livelihoods of billions of people that if they don't produce food for us, and that's their main responsibility, but also their livelihoods, we're going to be in a very difficult position 10 years from now, five years from now. And I would say, I think we should aspire for more as a food industry, but also I think we should feel good about the progress that the food industry has made in the last four or five years to elevate the importance of the food industry for transformation of society. Thank you. I've got plenty more questions, but I really want to just get round for a round, first of all. And then again, what I'm also going to do is I'm going to get the panel to speak to each other as well, because I'm sure they're going to have some brilliant cross questioning as well for each other. Guedetto. The Brazilian government has taken over the December, in December, the rotating presidency of the G20. You've been nominated to lead the G20 Sustainable Food Systems Group. So we get you in two capacities here, so that's great as well. Really, really simple question. What are your key challenges? Not a simple answer. For sure it's not a simple answer, but I think these are the good things that food now is the center of the agenda. We see in this forum that we are discussing a lot in terms of food security, food system. This is really important, because as you mentioned in the beginning, just 4% of the investment for climate change go to food, and food represents 30% of the emissions. But there is another side of this. Population keeps growing. There will be more than 8 billion people in 2050. We need to feed this. And agriculture can be part of the solution, because we can tackle the two problems at the same time. We need to increase the productivity of the farms. Today, 67% of the farms live in poverty. It means that we need to invest in order to improve the life of the small-olders, and at the same time, increase productivity, because we need to feed the world. This is one of the main drivers. We need to support the farmers to make a transition for more sustainable food. And it is not the methodology and the technology are available. It's now a question of to speed up the process of bringing this knowledge to the small-olders and financials, the transitions, the insight, the first money they start to move in, because they don't have money to make the investment. We need to support them. And then it's a part, it's a private sector, it's a government, it's an NGO, it's a foundation. We need to join force, because it's too big for one or other company or one government to tackle this issue. But this is the critical issue for humanity. We need to feed more population, and we need to reduce the gas emissions. I think this is, for me, the most important thing is to put the farmers, to put the people at the centre of the agenda, because if we support them, we can tackle the two challenges at the same times. And the way is to increase productivity. OK, I'm going to go for it straight away. I was going to wait a little bit. Is this all about big industrial farmers creating the amount of food that the world needs? You talked about the extra billion people, are actually smaller farm-holders, stakeholders within this, are they welcome? Because I look at three enormous businesses here as well. It's easier for you to deal with the landowners and the farmers who are doing things on a bigger scale, on an industrial scale. You have one person to talk to where you might have 10, 20, 30 as well. What's the future for those smaller stakeholders if the pressure is going to carry on for those and the industry to have better productivity and to feed more mouths? But I'll give you an example from Brazil. We have, in terms of, we'll talk about one of the chains, carols. We have 95,000 suppliers of carols in Brazil. You can see the number, the size of this. We deal with the big ones and we deal with the small ones. And it's a weekend, we have an experience. We open 20 green offices, we call green offices, to support the small farmers to make the transitions, give the technology. And the way that they move to be some of, is not in a compliance with the legislation, help them to be in compliance with the legislation. And it works so well because we can, in the same area, to produce 40 double the production and storage the carbon at the same time. It's not some... I believe that is the... is revigorate the small farmers. Is the transition of our green, is the opportunity for revigorate the small farmers? Um, I think... You want to come in? We'll do this straight away then, we'll come in, and then we'll get through to you two in a minute. I think as a global company, obviously, we have to adapt how we do this transition to the realities of every, you know, market. So, in the U.S., yes, there's a lot of... about helping larger businesses move forward. So, it's more of a business discussion in that case. When you go to India, for example, in our... We have a very large potato business in India. We have in the large tens of thousands of farmers, it's a very different way of, you know, moving them to the next stage, and it's the technical knowledge. We have demonstration farms where we share the knowledge. It's a very different way of financing their transition. You probably need some sort of aggregation in form of cooperatives of other ways where they're organized above the single smallholder level, and that's where you deploy the knowledge, you deploy the financing, and then they organize. So, the how it varies, I think the ultimate vision is that the full, the global industry moves forward with a whole set of new practices. And why? Because it's financially better for the farmer to eventually, after they go through the transition, to farm with the new practices. I'll come back to this. I think it's a key part of what a lot of us really care about as well. Megan, philanthropy has a role to play, but as you were telling me in the green room as well, I don't know if that bit was Shadam House or not, but I'll say it anyway. I don't know if it was. It can't do it on its own. No, no, and thank you so much for that. I am so glad you brought up the notion that we need multi-stakeholder collaboration to address the climate issue. At 11-11, our engagement with the forum is mostly in the GAIA initiative, which is essentially following the model of public-private philanthropic philanthropic partnerships to address climate. But we've also heard this statistic that is really troublesome to us, and we all know it that 2% of philanthropy goes to address climate, but the reality is even if 100% of philanthropy went to address climate, it would not be enough. That's maybe 1 trillion of a $5 trillion problem. So I just want to give accolades to my co-palace here because you guys are stepping in as private sector needs to do, and we know public sector can create the enabling conditions. We know private sector can help the scalability. And in terms of philanthropy, we are here to kind of shape shift and fill in the gaps where you might need them, and we also like to consider our role as the canary in the coal mine, so to speak, in terms of finding and funding the innovative climate tech that can help you. I mean, one area where I think there is probably a great role for philanthropy is women in agriculture. I think when we, and that by itself could be difficult for the private sector, although we're trying to enable females to own land and farm, but I think there is a starting point where probably philanthropy can help. And because we see a huge improvement in productivity in every end-to-end value for once women are in charge of the agriculture. So that to me is just a, if you can focus your money, that's 5%, do it against that. I think we do make a huge difference. Appreciate that insight. Would you also say a gap to helping to support women in agriculture, obviously, financial gap, right? So financial resources as a solution to get them access to capital to allow them? The whole package. I think it's technology is breaking some of the social bottlenecks in some countries and then obviously giving them right to land and right to initial capital to make the... I think this is the initial capital. Yes. For me, initial capital is the key for that. Because when you talk about the small farmers, some of them they have a monoculture. For example, just carols. We need to go there to support them to have another culture. For example, to plant cacoa or something. They enhance the revenue of them, reduce the leverage, the risk, the activity because they have two crops. But they need initial capital. They need to know how to learn them. That we need to work in multi-collaboration. Today, we have JBS from Amazon and we are collaborating with Solidaridad. We are working together for 1.5,000 families. We are supporting them to make the transition. Really small farmers. Let me jump in here. I'm pleased that I lost control of this a little bit earlier than I expected. It's absolutely fantastic. You've got to be careful what you wish for in this world, haven't you? I did ask for free flowing and my goodness me, I got it. If you could be patient for one more second because I just want to come back at you. Philanthropy. This is what I got my phone out, very rudely, to desire to promote the welfare of others expressed, especially by the generous donation of money to good causes as well. I just looked up the definition because I wanted to get it right as well. This has to be about philanthropy leading to economic rationale. This ain't going to work long-time. You've already mentioned unless the business case is backed up after this initial seed capital. We're setting the wills in motion as well. So you're not looking, and your sector is not looking, at giving vast amounts of money at Infinitum as a good cause. It's looking at setting in motion. And we talked about de-risking. That is absolutely going to be one of the key messages from this panel as well. De-risking the investment as well.  No, absolutely. And I will say obviously we, as a family foundation, are not in the business of procuring commodities. But we are encouraging everyone in the corporate sector to consider business unusual because we are not living on a flat earth with infinite resources, as my friend Katherine Hayhoe likes to say. We have, you know, it's limited in scope, so we really need to start addressing our business practices to reflect that. And I need to readdress something as well because this wonderfully patient man here from Indochood, Axton Salim is doing it. Just give us your own example. You guys do everything along the whole value chain as well. That gives you, with your mothership company as well, real insight. Just tell us about what you're doing and what the challenges are. I think food security can be challenging in developing countries like Indonesia. So with that, I think access to quality or quality and sufficient food can be difficult to some of the population. So with that, I think affordability is going to be key. So in any kind of innovations that we would be doing, one thing is we cannot have excess additional costs towards the consumers. I think that is the number one thing for me. And for Indochood, I think we are a total food solutions company. We are all the way from agriculture all the way to manufacturing and distribution. So with that, I think in addressing the challenges of the food system, I think one thing is we would like to promote the low-carbon initiatives throughout the value chain. So upstream manufacturing processes and also the downstream. So for upstream, I think what we do is we support the government's projects for our agribusiness. We implement the agriculture practices which aligns with the government and to achieve the net sink for the forestry and land use by 2030. So that is zero deforestation, zero new planting for peatland and zero burning for land clearing for any kind of replanting. And also we also do preservation work for the high conservation value land areas around our sites, which is about right now, I think we have about 25,000 hectares that is already being preserved. And also 84% of our fertilizers are organic. So I think with that, that's for the big agribusiness. But for the smaller farmers, what we have to think of before anything is actually, as you said, it's the livelihood of the farmers need to come first. So with that, I think it's the same examples. I think we have potato farmers in Indonesia. What we do is we provide good seeds, teaching the farmers with good agriculture practices. And with that, I think it's better yield, lesser use of fertilizers, and of course, I think better income for the farmers. You said so much is interesting there. Let me come back to your one absolute pivotal point.  I think this is going to be the key. Price for the consumer. Yes. I get in a lot of trouble when I go to my local supermarket or my local farm shop. If I don't buy organic, I've got to be brutally honest. Mrs. Sedgwick just comes back and says, we've got to buy organic. We've got to... Yeah, I pay more for it. And I should. I live in the rich Western world. Why shouldn't I? But we're not just talking about everyone not being... Some people can't pay more. Some people can pay more. How do we work around this as well? Because in order to give a fair price to the farmer, we have to pay more, don't we? Or is that just a no-no? You were very unequivocal about that. You said no. They cannot have the consumer having to pay more. I think it's more about helping them to increase the yield and teaching them the good agriculture practices. I think with that, how we work is, with the help in those areas, we actually do buy from the farmers as well. So that gives kind of protection against the pricing in the market. But the path... I think there is enough data already that says that if you move a farmer from conventional farming practices to regenerative farming practices after a short period, depending on the knowledge and some other... two to three years, this farmer will have a better P&L both in terms of higher yield and lower cost, which then says, okay, it's not necessary if you think the aggregate price of agriculture will not have to go up because we'll have better yield. So I think the problem to solve, and that's what we're all spending a lot of time, is the transition. And this transition happens one farmer at a time and is very local. So what we need to do in Indonesia, with the realities of the Indonesia market structure, is very different from Brazil or from Spain or whatever. But I think the outcome is going to be the same. There is a way of farming that takes care of the soil that it's mindful of the water resources, the amount of nutrition that we add to the soil. And there's enough knowledge at this point and enough data point that I think this is investable now. So as part of this coalition, we need to bring banks, we need to bring insurance companies into helping finance this transition. We don't need philanthropy anymore, I think. So there is enough knowledge to get that as an investable asset. And I think we're there. We're in the final time, but we're very optimistic. In my opinion, consumers are not willing to pay more for a sustainable product. Could it be a niche? Sorry, a sustainable product? No, I say low carbon emissions. Because we don't forget that one-third of the population today, not to eat. If we believe that we can make this transition to increase the price of the product, the product will become less affordable. This is not the solution. But isn't a better quality product have better nutrition? Yes, but look, the consumers can make it a preference for this product, but not willing to pay more. The solution is to increase the productivity of the farm as it's possible with what I mentioned here, like I mentioned, we know that regenerative practice will increase the productivity. If you increase the productivity, we reduce the cost at the end. And then, in addition, we can attract capital from the market, for example, for the carbon market, that we can enhance the revenue and to reduce the cost of the production. I believe in that. We need to work to improve productivity. I think if you... Just real quick. If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying that the responsibility of the increased cost of the goods should be on the shoulders of the producer in terms of making sure that you get to increase productivity to reduce that cost. I'm saying that we need to bring new way to produce from the farmers that these... the output will be higher output that reduce the cost. What we need to be that, to bring knowledge and initial financials from the starting transitions? Yeah. I was going to say, I think what Leverto said is true. I think mainstream brands, I don't think they'll be able to convey premium for the sake of just having better farming practices. I don't think so. So we shouldn't assume that Lays or Quaker or some of our large brands will be able to carry the premium. We can create premium brands that might be able to carry some premium. So what your wife probably can afford. Well... Well, the shame can afford it not as a different equation, but we shouldn't make the business case based on we're going to premiumize. I think we can create some loyalty to the business case probably commercially and how we should approach it, but the consequence of that is I think we need to make sure that the farming is more productive and I think that we have enough data to support. Now, how do we bring money into the farming system to finance the transition? One of the things we're trying to do with this coalition is to bring certainty of demand which hopefully can... I'm hopeful that we can do that is to move the horizon of procurement to multi-year. Right now, one of the bottlenecks is that we're buying... the system is buying mostly one year at a time. So we don't give enough certainty to the farmer to execute a much more longer investment that he needs to transform itself. Now, I think we need to give the farmer that visibility and that certainty and that will provide to go through that valley and then get to the peak. I think that's one of the objectives of this group is not only to buy more but is to buy in a different way so that we can enable this transition. It's one of the elements. I think on this panel, I think we're focusing a lot on the agriculture and the farming side of the carbon reduction. But if we look at the whole food manufacturing, it goes all the way from the farming side all the way to the distribution side of it. How can we improve the other parts of the food manufacturing value chain on that? So I think from us, I think one of the examples is how we actually utilize the renewable energy for our manufacturing purposes. About 70% right now of our manufacturing in the food is using biomass or PV. So I think with that, we can definitely take a look from a different viewpoint, not only from farming, but how we can look at it from the total. Absolutely, and that ticks a lot of boxes on the initial figures we mentioned about greenhouse gases as well. But unashamedly, I'm going to concentrate on the food, the price, the quality of it as well. We're talking about the big brands can't increase the cost as well. I want to go back and say, I know this can increase the price, and this is very specific because it's a recent example, and everyone in this room is probably aware of the fact that you, your company has just had a major spout with a major French supermarket as well. It was about one part of the food chain having a row about price, I think, but ultimately, with another part of the food chain. It wasn't necessarily the consumer or the farmer who was getting involved in this one as well. It was about slicing and dicing along the chain with the farmer and the consumer just bystanders as well. That's a great shame, isn't it, to be involved in this kind of conversation when, actually, ultimately, it's the farmer that we need to improve the margins for? I don't think it's one or the other. I think it's a, you know, it's a full-value chain. We are genuinely committed to the transformation of the agriculture, and we're supporting the farmer with our own resources at this point because we need to create this positive momentum. And some farmers in the Midwest of the U.S. were paying $40 per acre more for having regenerative agriculture. So that's one thing. The other thing is how do we resolve commercial tensions with our customers, which is something that has been going on since the middle age. I get that. I appreciate that. Middle age now becomes public because you guys spread the word. Well, now how do we... Currently, that is the job of the media. I think it was a couple that spread the word, not us. I know you're just kidding, but, you know, the fact that it became public is a reality. There's commercial tensions with suppliers, with the customers, and that's the nature of doing business. And we do it in a very fair way and trying to win away. Now, again, to your point, which I think is critical, is are we trying to take advantage of the farmer? No. I think it's the opposite. What we're trying to do is to help the farmer is an unknown journey that he's starting because he needs to trust us, that at the end of that journey, at the end of the tunnel, you'll be more profitable, you'll have better livelihood for your family. That is the journey. Now, we're not going to do it the same in a large country, in a small country, medium-sized country. This is very local. It's micro. It's one farmer at a time. It's a community at a time putting the right solutions end-to-end. That's where we're here. Now, the way we're solving this so far is vertical. I was solving for the potato problem, for the corn problem, for the oat problem. As we join forces, we're going to solve it for the farmer. Why? Because he has multiple crops. He rotates. He creates value by rotating. If I combine the purchases with Salim or with my colleague here, that's what we're trying to do. So, long-term, full ecosystem genuinely helping the farmer to go from this current knowledge to the future knowledge in a better business. And that's an absolutely fair answer. I'm not, as I say, you all know I'm not a gotcha, but I kind of want to make sure that when one big corporation has, as you say, it's been going since the middle ages, when one big corporation in the food chain has a big argument with another big corporation in the food chain in the public. Again, it's our job to report on that as well. And perhaps one part of that food chain, maybe a French supermarket, is making a big point about it. The fact is I want to make sure the little guy that we're trying to actually improve the world for here isn't the one who suffers because at the end of the day, the big corporations don't tell him, I say, well, I'm not going to lose my margin. I'm not going to lose my margin. Let's take it out on the farmer, because the farmer hasn't got a choice. I just wanted to applaud the point you made in terms of recognizing the transition that these small-holder farmers will be having to endure when you go to regenerative agriculture. I mean, they're operating in a legacy of farming practices that they now have to change, and we need to give them support and obviously patience. In reality, the big corporations now, they are taking the initiatives to go to support the farms. And you need to now bring more stakeholders to help us because look for us. We have... We create a fund for Amazon just to support the small farms. It's not in our value chain. They are not in our value chain. It's not our supplier, but we support them because we need to improve the life of the population there. If you run the emissions, we need to go a large way that... And we need more stakeholders to join, like foundations, like the NGOs, the government. We need more actors to help to make this transformation. And I just want to add one thing about the price that you mentioned here. Look for... Because there is innovations in agriculture as well. Everybody knows that about the challenge that we have in the synthetic fermentation of carrots. We are working for three years in supplements to try to reduce the amount of the emissions. The main challenge in the beginning, we'll talk about three years, in the beginning was the cost of the supplement. They reduce the emissions, but they'll increase a lot the cost of the meat. Now, we are quite there and we are working in a big size of trial, 20,000 carols. And the results we get from the the field now show that it's possible to reduce 90% of the methane emissions and not increase the cost. This is the solution of the technology. I know that there's a gentleman not a million miles away from me. He used to work for a company that was very big on this one for a very long time. Nice to see you, Herman. Axon, do you want to come in on this one? No, I truly believe that it needs collaborative efforts. Starting from the government in a private sector and civil society needs to come together. Have a common understanding and not blame each other for whatever is happening. And just find common solutions as well. I think that's going to be key. Already we've got five minutes left, we've got one minute left. I think it's relevant. You mentioned something that could be it's not proven yet, but we're working on it, which is better soil delivers better nutrients. I think this could be a consumer outlook, which we haven't yet proven that this is true, but we have some... We know that better food has better outcomes. We have some signals that might say that if we're able to improve what we're trying to do with, you know, and much more nutrients, natural nutrients and better water, you know, how it stays on the land and so on, these will deliver better nutrients. I think then we have a consumer story that might create the resources to to give more a livelihood to a better livelihood for farmers. For sure. So that is a connection that still is scientifically... It's not a big leap. I've read so much food, nutrition, literature, far over the last few years. I don't know if you can get me in here without making me read 20 or books. But the truth of the matter is we know there is a link between better nutrition, better diet, better health outcomes, less cost for the planet, less cost for governments, less cost for your health service, less insurance costs. It's not about living 280. It's about living better 280. Better health outcomes on cancer, on heart disease, on diabetes, on cholesterol by eating better food. So the cost there is obvious for the governments who have to raise less taxes because we have better outcomes because we're eating better food. It's so wonderfully beautiful. We've got to move on. Hang on for three minutes. Ish. OK. Give me some achievables from this coalition as well. OK, we're going to be here in five, ten years time. I'll still be here. Give me some outcomes that this is really going to work and how we get there as well. We've mentioned financing, we've mentioned getting collaboration, we've mentioned working with the farmers as well, giving them investment, de-risking their decisions. Give me some more ideas and some outcomes. I think to me to be one critical KPI of this full transformation. It's got a corporate key performance indicator. No, it's make sure the farmers have better living than they have today. Because without the farmers sustainably they're going to walk away from farming. And that's the biggest risk. The biggest risk we have is that the next generation of farmers don't want to farm. Because they don't make a living or it's not fancy enough. All of us are getting older. But it's a fact. I think to me a key KPI of this transformation of course is about feeding the world and using less resources and everything else. We need to put the farmer at the center and the farmer needs to have sustainable living, a better PNL better asset and that will justify the future generations staying in farming. It's a huge enabler of having enough food for everybody. I totally agree because at the end we need to tackle the two problems that I mentioned before. The G&G emissions 30% of agriculture in the same time you need to produce more and to produce more you need to improve the life of the farmers. And for me this is the key point. We need to put the farmers at the center. People is the solution. And we know how to do. It's just you need to accelerate the technique we know today the model that we have today how we can speed up the process. Because we know there is existing good experience all of the world the government need to focus more. Just 4% of the investment go. If we change this for 4% to 40% you can mention how we can change the... I'm so tight. I've got 20 seconds for this answer. COP 30 is Brazil, yeah? Brazil. And he's the guy. You need to get this even more front and center. No pressure. You're going to get agriculture and food systems right to the center of COP 30. Exactly. He'll be the center. He'll be in Pará. He'll be in Pará and Pará will be one of the most important states in Brazil and by the way the government of Pará take a decision to make a law to have all of the cows producing Pará to be an electronic tech. Okay, Megan. Real quick we are at an all hands on deck moment with the climate crisis. So my vision would be that you all have created a demand signal to big corporates to get on board with this idea of sustainably minded business first and that would get us where we need to go. All hands on deck. Couldn't agree more. Accident. Starting point or before the KPI, I think understanding the whole supply chain, understanding what are the different KPIs that need to be for each. I think today we focus a lot on agriculture and the farming side but there's a lot more of the different sites in the food manufacturing value chain that needs to be understood. All three of these enormous corporations here as well as well. We'll hold you all to it. I can assure you as well. Love the conversation. Can't believe 45 minutes went so quickly as well. In no particular order. Thank you very much indeed for taking all my points and taking it in good spirit as well. I'm so looking forward to seeing your name in the press over the next couple of years and what you're pushing forward to. Absolutely loads of pressure. Loads of pressure. Megan, it's lovely to see you. Megan Scassella, thank you so much indeed as well. And Axton Salem, you're so right. The whole value chain. We need to look at that as well. Round of applause for our brilliant panel.


Come in, come in, here we go. Oh boy, here it goes! Oh! Hey guys, welcome to Rotorite, I'm Bobby FPV. Hi, I'm Les Flair C. I'm Peter FPV. And usually our drones are made of carbon fiber. That's right. But you have something special. I haven't seen it, Peter hasn't seen it. Can you like unveil it for us? A lot of people have tried to do this in the past and have failed. And it is- What do they look like to fail? Like, what do you mean they failed? Well, I'll tell you in a second. I've got a 3D printed drone. And you might be thinking, 3D printed drone, that could be very strong, right? Well, Bamboo Labs sent me this awesome new 3D printer, the X1 Carbon. And I wanted to try to use it to print a drone with carbon fiber infused filament. So let's see if carbon fiber 3D printed drone in 2023 can actually make a difference. Check this out. That would be really interesting. 3D printed drone! Bam! It looks like carbon fiber, doesn't it? Yeah, I can't even tell. I can't not tell. You can't really tell that it's made of plastic. So this is actually carbon fiber infused nylon. That is strong, dude. What the heck? Yeah, it's really strong. Like, I'm not gonna break it, but like, that's a little bit of flex, but that's expressive. Yeah, I figured what better frame than the tank to test the durability of this stuff and what better place to take it than Detroit to bash it, right? And let's see how long it lasts before it's broken. Yeah, I mean, your tank design has definitely proven its durability with carbon. So like, can people just 3D print their arms now? Well, let's check it out. I will tell you that I had some failures along the way. This frame right here, for example, was made with carbon fiber infused PLA. And unfortunately, the carbon fiber didn't solve the problem that PLA has in Florida where you leave it in your car and the heat of the car melts the crap out of this. This looks really funny. That's all I got. It's funny cause far it looks like carbon fiber and then it's just like all invented. So this whole frame was 3D printed with carbon fiber infused PLA. PLA is an organic material that's better for the environment. It's very inexpensive, but unfortunately it prints at a very low temperature so it melts easy if you leave it in your car in Florida. So you don't want to leave it, you don't want to leave it in a car before it or it looks like this. So I mean, I've seen 3D printed drones before and a lot of you guys are going to comment that, but like, so carbon fiber infuses, what's the difference? Is that the difference? Right, exactly. So this is carbon fiber infused nylon. Bamboo Labs sent me this awesome X1 carbon 3D printer which is able to print materials that my normal 3D printers can't print because it prints at really high temperatures. For example, this carbon fiber infused nylon prints at 290 degrees Celsius, which is really hot for a 3D printer. Cool. So like most 3D printers just don't have the specs to basically print this. Right, they don't have the capability to print something that hot. Bamboo Labs X1 carbon actually prints it like three times the speed of my Robo 3D which is what I had previous to that. So it's crazy. Not only does it print like way better but it prints way faster. I mean, I'm really excited just like to see if it's actually any dirt. Like if it's going to take one crash and not break, I'd be like, that's a win. I know, I believe, yeah, I agree. Because I think every other 3D printed drone frame that I've seen is like. First off extremely weak. Don't stop it. It flies terribly because there's so much flexing. This doesn't have much flexing. And also first crash or even a hard landing. Yeah, this is more of a proof of concept than anything. Well, let's get it up in the air. Check it out. If you want to fly first.  I built it. If you guys can fly it. You know how it works. I built it. You guys break it or just shoot. You wanna fly first? I'll fly first. I like to fly first. Cause I always fly stuff. Yeah. You guys, I haven't broken many of your projects. Okay, all right. Here you go, man. I'm gonna move it away. Don't break it now. This is my prized possession. These guys always break my drones. If you break my drone, I'll be really sad. Be really sad. I'll have to break the cycle. Okay. You'll have to break the cycle? Well, I never flown with this small radio or a better flight for us. Yeah, I know. Everybody complains about my radio. We just went ahead and put a GoPro Hero 11 on there. And I intentionally turned off hypersmooths so that you guys can really see like, what vibrations there are. If there's any weird flight characteristics. So just so you guys get a better idea of what's actually happening on the quad. It's so weird. All right. Let's do this. Oh, wow. Oh, that sounds good. What the heck? Okay, we're good. We got some jitters or something. The GoPro maybe? It's probably the tune. Or you think the GoPro changed something? Yeah, maybe, cause it's heavier now. Yeah. I mean, just give it a little full throttle blip. You've got your full power lines though, be careful.  I mean, it looks decent. It just has a weird sound. Yeah, don't fly over our heads. Yeah. Yeah, don't fly over our heads. It looks decent like, but it just has a weird sound. I don't, I can't. It's probably the tune. It's probably the tune. 100%. Yeah. Realistically, I think it's more of the carbon fiber arm. I gave it a quick tune, you know, just to make sure that it would fly for us. Yeah. But I didn't tune with the GoPro. We just added a GoPro. So that probably made a difference for sure. I'm against Peter. You're ripping it. What do you, what do you feel? It feels good. Just that, that shakiness, that tune. But other than that, like it's flying good. I'm turning good. Let me see if we can do a power loop here. Watch. Let's go do a power loop. Let's go in here. And there goes the episode. Woo. Oh, yeah. I'm not used to this. Are the shakes that we're hearing, do you actually feel them? Like, can you actually see the quash shaking? Yeah, I can actually see the quash shaking. Yeah. So it's giving me a little bit of issues. So it's pretty bad. Yeah. Sometimes you just hear something, but it flies fine. A little, but that's okay. Let's go back for this power loop. It's a big power loop. Yeah, because I don't want to, I'm not used to these rates. 700. I'm used to 1100. So these are like, yeah. Oh my gosh. 1100. Yeah. I started with really high rates like that, too. There we go. There we go. Got the power loop. All right. Woo, we got it. A little roll in there. I forgot these are 700 rates. You got to hold it longer. You got to hold it longer than that. Exactly. One of these Detroit power lines that you don't see, you'll just grab it and just take it off. You know, like most places have ghost branches. Detroit has ghost metal wires. Yeah. Sick. Did any catch? No, I'm not doing that gap. I'm not going to break your drone. Everybody else do a little reverse. He's so nice. I know. Everyone's really nice with my first like fire drone. I know. And then they're hanging out with a little venue roll. Woo, it made it back in one piece. Made it back in one piece. Hooray. Didn't die on the first flight. That's awesome. That's a success right there. So was it a terrible experience? The shakiness, yes. The shakiness. Oh really? Do you think you were able to like. It was just, I don't know. It was vibing, huh? Like a camera mount or something? No, you could hear it. I could probably fix the tune really quick. And I could probably solve the issue with that. Really quick. Lower the master slider. One more, one more two more. I don't think it hurts if it takes really fast. Yeah, the motors are hot as sh**. Yeah. Actually, they're not that hot, but they're warm. It's definitely the GoPro that changed it. Yeah. Because last minute I was like.  Yeah. Yeah, okay. It was much lighter without the GoPro. There we go. Oh yeah. That's why it's good now. Okay. That's fine. Yeah, it's fine. That's how it handles the Bobito. Your goggle foam is really nice. The Bobito. That's the DJI foam. Really? Yeah, the DJI foam and the Waxnau goggles. Oh yeah, look at that. Yeah, much better. Yeah. It doesn't sound all fluttery anymore. It was just a tune. We're good. It doesn't sound all fluttery, but it. It still feels bad? Yeah. I mean, it doesn't like. Well, it's detuned. Defined bad. Oh, jeez. Oh, that's about a prop wash. We didn't have Tyler tune this one. This was tuned by Sean, who's not very good at tuning. I mean, also, we have three printed a little floppy.  I wouldn't think that you have different arms on there. For me, I think you can tune it to fly good. We just didn't do it. We don't have the time. It doesn't matter.  I hand my drones to Tyler now. I love tuning. Yeah, I think this one would take a lot of work realistically. I could be out for like 30 minutes to an hour. Yeah, we don't have time for that. I think the biggest thing, the biggest test for this is when we crash it, it's just going to break instantly. Yeah. We're going to have to give it the durability test for sure. We're at a random point, but sometimes if you have a frame and it's like, oh crap, my arm broke and I can't buy an extra. You buy a new frame, like a different frame, which built that one up. Or is this a viable option to just three-print something if you really want to fly in a pinch? If you broke an arm and you don't have an arm and you just needed to three-d-print one out of four arms. Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, just to have a backup. Yeah. So, rarely until you're armorized from Rotorite.com. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like this just does like that. If you really need to fly, you really, oh geez, it's power lines. Like if you really want to fly, is this good enough? And we'll see when we crash it. I mean, there's this wall here that we should just throttle it into at the end of it. Or we could just try a trick until we crash. So, you were saying any printer can print those? Yes. If you're going to use nylon, you're going to have to build a print at 290 degrees Celsius. You have to have a certain type of nozzle on there. Bamboo has a special three-d-print nozzle on their actual streeter that allows it to print harder materials like carbon fiber. So, a regular nozzle is not going to be hard enough to print the carbon fiber infused materials. They sent me carbon fiber infused PLA, PETG, and nylon. And after PLA failed, I went straight to the MAX, which is nylon, just because I wanted to print with the hardest material they had. You know, that would take chances. Carbon infused nylon? I hit one gap with it. Oh, you got it? Nice. Nice. Oh, that's cool. Okay, that's cool. Cool roll. Did we hit the record button on the GoPro? I did. See, looped power lines. I can't really see them, but oh well.  It's okay. You're landscaping. Landscaping. Hit it again. It's so, like, I can't tell what of it is me complaining about how your radio feels versus the rates. Yeah, the rates, the radio, the tune, you got all kinds of weird stuff going on. Yeah. That you're not used to. Yeah, it's not happy when doing this.  It's handling it. Yeah. I haven't gotten any of those. I'm so scared to push it that hard because my mind is moving so much. I haven't gotten any of those crazy vibrations. That's good. That, like, that happened earlier in this battle. Oh, jeez. You keep almost hitting that power line over and over again. Hit it again. Oh, jeez. Oh my gosh, I see the stuff moving around inside the Fando. I want to see you matty flipping to one. Into a gap with this drone? Do it. Sure, do it. Let's go. Okay, get a new battery. Now we're just going to send in some tricks. If this thing somehow survives, like, these little minor crashes, or just, like, if I make it through my pack at the end of it, we're just going to throttle it into a wall and see what happens.  Honestly? I'm down. So we used all 3D printed arms on this, and I'm, like, trying to think in my brain, like, okay, if I had this printer or any printer that could print this and I didn't have an arm, would one arm still fly as good? I think it would give you some where you need to be for the day. It'll give you a day of fun, you know what I mean? Yeah, like, for sure. And if you printed, like, 6 of them, even if you broke it, you'd still be able to keep flying that day. Yeah, like, I don't... What's the case scenario, you know? I don't think this is unflyable. Right. It may not be the future of drones, but it might get you through in a pinch. All right, we're going to have a little fun, guys. GoPro is rolling. All right, here we go. We're going to get into the flow. You got started with the GoPro, right? Yes. Boom, flowing. Boom, all cinematic. Oh, yeah. So beautiful. Woo-hoo-hoo! From the moon! From the moon! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! He made it out! Yeah, I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I was just like, what's going on? I thought it was dead. I thought it was dead, too. Oh, my God. And then I somehow made it through. I mean, okay, let's just... My heart. My heart. My heart. My other one.  We don't have a left. True. True. You have another drone, though. Yeah. Oh, I want to try that one. That was from the moon, man. No. I went like... Oh, my gosh. Oh, no, no, no. Give me the heebie-dee jeebie. Oh, my God. It's alive, still. It's alive, still. Dude, this is really fun. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. How am I still in the... Oh, my gosh. Oh, Lord. I don't want to break your GoPro. Let's go, Bubby. Let's go. I want to freak out alive. That's weird. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness. Here it goes. No. Oh, my goodness. Oh, no, it's alive. Oh, my gosh. That's a success, man. That was so good. That was so good. That was so nice. For me, what a win is, like, it's clearly flyable. So, yeah, we don't need to put the GoPro back on for this, right? Yeah. Because we're probably just going to test it. I mean, I'm going to intentionally crash it. There's an awesome wall over there. Well, let Peter do it. Yeah, Peter. Just like... There's a wall over there. Just like...  So, the arm hits first. Yeah. If we hit like this, I think it'd still be fine, to be honest. We've shown that this has a use, which is amazing. I didn't think we'd get that far. I'm honestly impressed that I was able to, like, pull out of the dice because I was going from just... I'm just like, oh, I'm just going to go really high and just make it throw it up. And it was just like... Oh, my gosh. But it made it. It made it. Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought it would freak out and just, like, full throttle. Yeah. But I mean... I thought this episode was going to be over in 10 seconds. Me too. Me too. I thought we were going to be done and we weren't going to have anything to film. I'm so impressed that it actually is useful. Like, people can use these things to get them through in a pinch.  And you see a red dot in the top right corner, right? Yep. Cool. You know what I'm doing. Two red dots are all right. All right, here we go. Just aim for the target. You got this. All right. Oh, this fly is so much better than when I flew the first time. Oh, my goodness. All right, so we painted a target on the wall. Kill it. For Peter to hit. He's going to do a little bit of flying and then aim for the target. See what happens. Coming. Here we go. Oh, boy. Here it goes. Oh, yeah. It's broken. Oh, yeah. It's broken. Oh, yeah. It's broken. It's broken. All right. Check it out. Oh, my goodness. I have never intentionally cast a drone before. Oh, my gosh. Was it awesome? Was it the best feeling ever? Yes, it was. And it wasn't even yours, Rose. All right. All right. So let's assess the damage. Do we still got three good arms? Three good arms. This, this time clearly took all the hit. Yeah. We had a part where it usually wouldn't. Oh, that's true. And it also broke in the middle. Like these are two places arms usually don't break. On the tank. Right. The way you have it designed. Usually they break here. Right. This one broke in the middle and at the motor. Yeah. It's very strange. I mean, either way, the fact that like three of them survived. The fact that we still have three working arms, I mean. That was a hard hit. That was a hard hit. And then it hit multiple times too. When it reached it off and hit the ground. Hit boom, then bam, bam, bam. All right. Here's thank you to Bamboo Labs for sending us the 3D printer and the material to make this drone. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. Oh my gosh, me too, man. Wow. I feel throttled into that wall. Yeah. That's wild. You really feel throttled into it and only one arm broke. That's crazy. Three are so good. Dude, look at the back plate. Yeah. Literally the top plate in the back has a little crush. I mean, yeah, this was a really fun project. Let us know in the comments down below what other projects you guys want to see. Link in the description to a folder called Crazy Projects by Sean. Thank you guys so much for watching this one. Subscribe. We post every Monday. And you can get that. Don't forget the bell. Yeah. Don't forget the bell. We post every Monday. Thanks guys for watching. I'm Bubby FPV. I'm LesFlyer C. I'm Peter FPV. And we'll see you next time on Rotary. Woo! You know what else is great about solder free motors? What's that? When it broke, it just unplugged. So I can reuse this motor.


Hey, this is Brett with Summit Auto, and today I'm at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show. Just checking out some of the vehicles here. It's kind of busy right now, so I'm trying to get some videos of stuff that doesn't have as much people around it, and these turntable displays are nice because not a lot of people stand around them. We got a 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon on display here. It looks like it has a Rambox true cab. I believe that's Blue Streak Metallic over black. This is a Power Wagon level 2. It has the LED headlamps, the front bumper parking sensors, the worn winch. It's kind of nice when they got them up in the air. You can see everything underneath, up close. I'm just going to let it spin around here so you can check out the video as the Goodyear Wrangler Dura Track LT28570R17. I see the tow mirrors, the two-towel paint, you got the Power Wagon stickers on the back there. Usually deck these out pretty good for the Auto Show. Looks like it has the Bilstein shocks, fender flares, really good-looking truck. Kind of surprised there's not more people around it coming around to the back. Got that powder-coated rear bumper full towing package, this one has a tonneau cover on it. It has the cargo cam up there, LED tail lamps. I'm just going to show you the plaque that they got here. Feel free to pause this so you can read everything on here. Really good-looking truck. Thanks for checking out the video today and remember to like, subscribe and share on this video and all the videos that you see at our YouTube channel, which is youtube.com. In fact, the second you'll see a link to subscribe to our YouTube channel on your left, a link to more 2020 Chicago Auto Show videos like this one.

My reactions have continued to throw the ruling by the Supreme Court as chairman of the all-progressive Congress APC Omar Ghantej, the chief of staff to the president, Femi Bajab Yamele, the minister of the FCT, NASOM, WIKE and National Security Advisor all spoke after the ruling. They addressed all the issues about certain of them and those issues were and the judgments on each of the issues is clearly or were clearly unassailable as far as I'm concerned. So for me now is the time for us all, every Nigerian, particularly the president, to rule up his slaves and continue with the governance. This has been a distraction. The litigants exercise their rights to go to court but that has come to an end now. We now have to all come together as one country, one people and move ahead and take this country where it rightfully should be. We're happy, we're excited. Mr. President, in his magnanimity, I'm sure we'll now begin, reach out to all to join hands with him in his Renewed Hope agenda. APC was his platform but the Nigerian state is where he's president of. So this is not just a victory for our party, APC. Is it a victory for the country? I didn't come with APC crew and in the court here, in the court here, that the way they said APC and the PDP, I came here as somebody was interested, as somebody who wanted to come in to move forward. So I congratulate Mr. President and I think that this has come to the end. No more speculation as to whether Mr. President can focus and do what he's supposed to do for Nigeria. Thank you. I urge our colleagues, politicians, to accept it in good faith and also I have to use the opportunity to congratulate politicians, congratulate the leaders of the opposition, political parties, because it is better for them to resolve to judiciary, which as I have done so. to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.


You never confront an angry moose. These things are crazy. Turnin' into ya. Top of the mart. We're at home.  Look at Joss, why are you at home? Well, Joss, not question.  But I'll just quickly get you up to speed here a little bit. Ah. Dun dun dun. Can't really see it from here I know. I hit a moose. A moose, a real moose, a big moose. It was about the size of a dairy cow. I just nicked her hand and just nicked her. I pushed her off the road, I'm pretty sure. She's probably got a sore butt. So if you see a moose that's walkin' weird and limping, that's my moose. Tagged her. Shouldn't have been on the road. That's what she gets. But anyway, she took out my fender.  And then I don't know what happened to her because I didn't see her after that.  These things are crazy. Especially if she had a calf nearby. I hope she didn't. I hope she wasn't a mama calf. So, Diesel and I, it's over there, supervising, directing. You're a good director. We're gonna be at home for probably at least a week. So there's at least a week of hometown vlogs coming up here. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Maybe we'll go explore the bush around here a bit. One of these days, I wanna go, I've never gone like that way before. I've always, this is as far as I've gone to where my house is. I haven't been home that much. So we're gonna go explore the area maybe a little bit this week. Show you guys around the area. And other than that, we'll be at home just so you know. Fair warning, we're gonna be at home for at least a week here. And I can promise you that the weasel will be in every single vlog. Right Diesel? Well, that's a huge promise to make, man. You better not forget about me. Who could forget about the weasel? He's a good boy. He's a good boy. Come here. Come here. Where are we going, man? Right here. Good boy. Should we mow the lawn? Yeah. You wanna mow the lawn? Are you gonna do it for me? I don't think so, man. I can't drive that thing. You gonna watch and supervise outside? I suppose so. I could do that maybe. You're so weird on the camera. Yeah, so we're gonna test out our riding mower today. But first we're gonna have breakfast. And I'm not gonna eat it at the table because this is my house. How do you mow your lawn? I mow my lawn like my life depends on it. Wow. That puts a whole new spin on mowing the lawn. Were you watching, Diesel? Were you watching? I saw you, man. You were riding that thing like a boss. Yes, I was. Now I'm all full of grass. You like all those grass on me, Diesel? You smell kind of nice, I look. Yeah. I love the smell of freshly cut grass, too. That's all nice and cut out there.  And then we'll see what we're gonna do then. Hi, Diesel. What do you think of all these machines in here, man? What do you think of all these machines in here? So many engines and motors. Do you like them? He likes them until you start them up. And that's like it's the end of the world for him. So a whole man that goes so much faster with a riding mower, you have no idea. It took all day to mow the yard with that push mower. Like, what is that thing? With that thing, it took like less than an hour. Everything was done. And Diesel just loves the smell of grass. You must be my boy. I love the smell of grass, too. Real grass, like grass, grass that you mow. I know a couple of you and I know what that smells like, too. I like this smell better. Anyways, so this is the snowblower we bought. First, let's start with the riding mower. How about that? It did not come standard with a Pepsi. No, it didn't. I had to buy that separately. You win some, you lose some. So this is a 2003 Craftsman LT-1000. 42-inch lawn mower. It says heavy duty on their 12-gate deck. So heavy duty makes me feel a little more manly. It's a good thing. We only do one, we only do one way, heavy duty. So that's, I bought this off a guy used in the Steinback area. And it works perfect. It's in great shape, runs great. Has fresh oil in it. I checked, that's nice. He sold it to me full of fuel. How often does that happen? And it's got lights, headlights. So you can mow 24 hours a day for your convenience. And then that there quite obviously is my old push mower. I still use it for under the trees and stuff. That is, that's a weasel. He pretty much just lies around. Hey Diesel, he's three years old now. You're getting old buddy.  Almost time to start thinking about getting him a brother. I keep thinking about that. I don't know, I don't know. What do you think Diesel? Do you want another dog? You want a brother? I'm going to wait till we settle in first. So let's get to the snow blower here. I did buy the snow blower brand new. First off they didn't have any reliable used snow blowers in the area anywhere. Kind of a bummer. Well at the same time I'm kind of glad I went new. Because sure I got a used, a really big I used riding mower. If that breaks down it's not the end of the world. It's summertime. If it needs to push more. However in winter time when it's minus 50 I need a reliable piece of machinery. That won't break down. That'll start every time so that I can get the snow cleared and get out of here. And so that I'm not tinkering on the engine in minus 50. You know what I mean? It's kind of heated up. Anyway so we need to get this snow blower. It is a yard works extreme auger. Like I was saying everything is heavy duty and extreme in this house. Electric start. Heated grips. 30 inch cleaning width. Clearing width. Got it at Canadian Tire. And that's it. So we're going to start this thing up right now. Because I haven't started it yet. And I figured I should probably start it up before I forget where I put the warranty paperwork. And before it gets down to minus 50 and I actually need it. If it doesn't start then well then it's going to be a lot harder to get it back to Canadian Tire. Especially if I forget where the warranty paperwork is. Even though I do file all my paperwork away. But you know it's always that one paper that you need. Right when you need it. That's the one paper that you forgot to file away. You know where it got lost or you can't find it. Let's just start this thing up and see what it do. First I need to put some gasoline in it. Pretty sure this thing did not come full of gasoline. Like this yard works long more did. I'm pretty sure that they sold this to me empty. I can't see in there. My finger in there.  Yeah it's bone dry in there. Bone dry. Alright. Put some fuel in there once you can get this thing going. Alright. Diesel careful. Don't sniff it. It's gas man.  Over there. So boy don't sniff the gas. We've got this thing all full of gas. Now it's a pretty big tank on there. I kind of have to go refill my dairy can. Anyways. We checked the oil. The oil is good. Now we need a key. This thing came with a key. Diesel where did we put the key? I thought there was an extra one on here somewhere. The key is on there. It's just on here. It's like a plastic key thing. Okay let's get that untied. So that is the key. Okay. So this goes in there. I don't need to turn around anything. Okay let me prime this thing. Three pumps. And this thing. Choke. There. And we need to plug it in because it's electric start. But it needs to be plugged in. Alright. So first we've got to plug it in. Diesel coming inside. Running good. Everything's running good. I just started up the bike. I'll warm it up a bit. I'm going to go for a bit of a ride. I want to go a little further down the road. Into the bush. And see what my area is all about. And explore a little bit because I haven't had that chance yet. So why don't you guys come with me? We're going to go explore the area a bit. So I lived in the middle of nowhere out in the bush. This is paradise. Welcome to paradise. Where you can yell to no one will hear you. It's a dirt bike though. This bike doesn't really fit in out here. But oh well it works. It's having fun. It all matters. Oh no there's cars coming. This is a special moment. Yeah there is some cars coming. The pickup that passed me. I don't know if I cut that part out or not. The pickup passed me. Well I didn't see it coming. I was looking around at all the scenery. Oh boy. Yeah so. Works parked here on the side of the road. Don't worry we have our four ways on. Like anybody's going to care out here. You guys want to go explore in the bush? I really want to go explore in the bush. I love it here. Lots of ATV trails and what not. This is it guys. Like there's no cell service here. There's no internet out here. Like I've gone further into the bush than where my house is right. Hey there neighbors. Giver. All you want no one cares just give her. So. Oh look at this. That is a snake skin. Nope it's just a bottle. Just a bottle. False alarm false alarm.  So when I talk about paradise and I talk about my favorite place in the whole world in southeast Manitoba. This is what it is. You guys want to go deeper into the bush yet? Let's go further. Hello down there. We're going to try this angle and see how it works. If it doesn't. I'll just work my magic and cut it all out. Turn on the camera in the front. Alright that one's rolling. This one's rolling. Are you guys ready to roll?  I want to show you guys more of my area. Where I'm from. My favorite place in the whole world. Let's go. Let's turn the bike on first. That always helps. Alright. That's ready. Wow. Did I bounce you? That was supposed to be more dramatic. Let's try that again. Wait one second. Wait one second. There we go. Hi. Hi there. I don't know if I'm getting this angle right. I want to try it out anyway. Let's go. Where does this go? Yeah I definitely need a dirt bike. I definitely need a dirt bike. That would work a whole lot better here. It's like a sand pit. This would be awesome with a dirt bike. Look at this place.  This would be awesome with a dirt bike or a quad. Not on a street bike. Not on a street bike. No. Wait you got a bug on you. Sorry about that. My bad. Yeah so we're out here in the middle of nowhere. Who knows where. Whenever I get a dirt bike though I know where I'm going. I'm coming back here. You hear that guys? There's a train. I don't know how many of you like trains. We got a train coming through town. I want to figure out what kind of shot I can get with this thing passing. There you come. You guys ready? It's probably traveling at about 90 kilometers an hour. 55 mile an hour. Coming from the USA. Going into Winnipeg somewhere I guess. I like trains. They're sort of like truck drivers. But they have a lot of trailers. And they can't really go anywhere other than on the track.  Seriously this is a train that goes past here every half hour. Every half hour. I'm not complaining. I love the sound of a train. I don't know why. Maybe it's the same reason that I like the sound of trucks. I don't know. I just like the sound of heavy equipment moving. Maybe I just like the sound of transportation. I don't know. But this will be the end of the vlog guys. The sun is starting to go down. It goes down so early already.  I miss summer already. Thanks for joining me today guys. I will have another vlog up tomorrow. 4am central time. What am I going to do tomorrow? I don't know. I have no plans. Honestly I have no plans. So tune in tomorrow at 4am central time to find out what I end up doing. I always end up doing something interesting.


Proudly, we hail! New York City, where the American stage begins, here is another program of the cast of Outstanding Players. Public Service Time has been made available by this station for your Army to bring you this story. As Proudly, we hail the United States Army. Our story is entitled Collector's Item, and this is the story of a sergeant and a squad facing their first critical test. As Proudly, we hail the United States Army's Infantry. Our first act curtain will rise in just one moment, but first, young man, let's talk about your future, and America's future.  Today, your United States Army is charged with a vital responsibility, and to meet this responsibility, the Army is rapidly expanding its forces. They have a job for you, a job that must be done by men of courage. You can get full details of how you may best serve your future and your country's future by visiting your nearest United States Army Recruiting Station. Remember, team up with the Army, and you team up with success. And now, the first act curtain of the Proudly, we hail production, Collector's Item. One thing about the Army, it's a good way to see the world.  Mementos of places you've been, people you've known. Right here on my desk, for instance, a Japanese samurai sword, a witch doctor's mask for the Philippines. And this, a silver cup. Must be hundreds of years old. See, around the rim engraved Detour Dignori. And beneath it, four names. Cook, Carpanetti, Zabo, Barnes. How did names like these get on such an old cup? Well, to explain it properly, I'd have to go back about 12 years when these names meant as little to me as they do to you now. I was a buck sergeant then, and just reporting into the Sergeant of the 1st Platoon of Company D, 274th Regiment at Fort Wood, Missouri. So you just got in from Camp Blending, eh, Sergeant Hollis? Yeah, that's right. What'd you do there? Heavy weapons instructor, I was there about two years. Well, you ought to know the 30 caliber heavy machine gun backwards and forwards, right? Sure do, Sergeant. Fine, just what I need. See, the 70th Division is just in the process of being activated for overseas duty. Well, we've got a big job ahead of us. Yes? Now, you're going to be the leader of the second squad of my platoon. Well, I've been waiting a long time for this. Okay, here's a roster of your men. You've only got four men now, but we hope to fill it out to the authorized allowance of six. But I don't know when that'll be. Carpanetti, Zabo, Cook, Barnes. How are they, good men? I can't say. They've only come in during the past week. All I know is they've just finished their basic training. The rest you ought to find out for yourself. They're yours from here on in. I was naturally curious as to what kind of men were in my squad. But how do you get to know someone? I come from Connecticut, Hartford. Used to drive a laundry truck. Good or right. But it's done better, I guess. Carpanetti, PFC, my number one gunner. Could eat the heart out of a silhouette target a thousand yards away. Being in the Army has been a breeze for me so far. I guess that's from being raised on a farm. But if you think I'm husky, you ought to see my father. Yes, PFC Barnes.  Yeah, I always get asked about my name. Zabo. It's Czechoslovakian. My folks came from there. Maybe someday I'll be seeing their hometown. Who knows? Yes, Private Zabo. You weren't so far wrong then, but as you said, who knows what's ahead of them. So, when I'm dancing with this chick, she asks me how old I am. And I says 19. And then she asks my weight and my height. How many operations I had? I couldn't figure her out. Until she told me she worked for an insurance company. So I called her Miss Vidal Statistics of 1944. Vidal Statistics, as Private Cook called them. Those were the only things I found out about my squad during the next few weeks. It wasn't much time to learn anything else. We were so busy training, by the time our orders came for overseas duty, we were as ready as we'd ever be, as far as training went. But for the real thing, that's something time will tell, Hollis. Yeah. Say Sergeant Baxter, do you think you know all the men in the platoon? Not as well as you squad leaders do, or should. Well, doesn't that worry you? No. My squad leaders are the men I must know. And do you? I do, up to a point. A point, that's it. Just what is that point? When you get to really know somebody? That's a good question. Yeah, and that's what has me going. I think I have my men sized up to that point, but is that enough? Well, Hollis, here's the way I feel about it. If there's anything in this world that'll strip a man and let the light shine on him as he is, it's when somebody's shooting at him. Then you'll know. Yes, but I'd like to know before then. Maybe you will. As I said before, it takes time. For us then, time was a train to Boston, a ship to France in the month of December, a staging area on a barren hillside outside of Marseille. Wind swept, treeless, grassless. So this is Southern France. I always thought it was a resort section. Oh, there it is, Carpennedy, the last resort. Looks like it, doesn't it? Well, I don't think we'll be here more than two weeks just until we draw our combat equipment. Hey, Sarge, is it okay if I wash my socks and my helmet? Sure, Cook, go ahead. Any of you guys want your laundry done? Fifty francs a piece. Hey, Sarge, maybe I can start a little business, huh? Cook was one for a joke, but this was one time the joke was on him, but literally.  Well, our pup tents lined up in rows all along the hillside bivouac. Soldiers at rest, peaceful, quiet. I'd have fallen asleep in a few more minutes, but suddenly... Hey, hey, what's that? Hey, Sarge, what's going on?   We're being barred. Yeah, I covered my helmet here somewhere. Hey, is anybody... Oh, I got it. Here it is. I'll be right with you as soon as I put it in... What the heck? All right, look at Cook. Oh, no. It's okay. That's the ACAC and Marseille practicing. Oh, yeah. Okay, Sarge and Bexter. What's so funny? Well, look at Cook. Ho-ho-ho! What are you doing with those socks draped around your neck, Cook? I was soaking my laundry. Oh, well, I needed a shampoo anyway. Hey, come on, you guys, help me dry off. Well, at least he's got a sense of humor. Yes, that he has. That he has. In a short time, the camp was once more settled down, and as I sat before my tent again, I knew I'd learned something important about one man in my squad. Yes, Cook had a sense of humor, all right, but it was the best kind there is. When a man can laugh at himself, you know you won't have to worry about him when the going gets tough. Those two weeks in Marseille passes all things must, and we found ourselves one day in our squad jeep rolling along the Rhone River Valley Road. Well, we hadn't, Sarge. To the front, I guess, Cook. Yeah, yeah, that I know, but where is that? Well, we're in the 7th Army, and that's fighting us somewhere around Strasbourg. How long will it take us to get there? Maybe three days. Just relax. We've got a long way to go. We stopped near an abandoned French army barracks, and we were assigned a room in it for our squad. There's nothing in the room but a cold, empty fireplace. Is there any coal or wood around to make a fire with? Oh, look, there must have been 100,000 soldiers come up this way before us. Do you think they left any around? Sergeant Hollis, oh, yes, Sergeant Baxter. Our mess truck broke down about 30 miles back. We won't get any hot chow at all in the morning. You got enough sea rations? Oh, yeah. Okay, you better come along with me now. The commanding officer wants to see us. The meeting was a briefing on the next day's trip and took about half an hour. When I got back to the room, I found myself in for a surprise. Hey, Sarge, come on. She's just about ready. Chow? And there's fire. How come? You're number three man, PFC Zabel. Yeah, he disappeared for about 15 minutes, came back with a load of coal, some empty cans, a little bit of wire, and peristo. Homemade stove. He even found some old onions, and boy, just smell the sea rations, too. Nothing to it. Just have to scrounge around a little. That's all.  Going to sworn this whole area was bare of anything. Say, that stew sure does smell good. What are we waiting for? Stew is as good as it smelled. And an hour later, basking in the light and heat of our cheery fire, we sure felt a lot better than we had when we arrived. At least I did. For I'd learned something about another of my men, Zabel. He'd shown that if he was anything, he was resourceful. And I knew resourcefulness was something we could use where we were going. Cook, Zabel. Two down, two to go. The next morning, we continued our trek northward, and a few days later, found ourselves moving in a position on the front line north of Strasbourg. We left our jeep behind and were moving slowly on foot along a road, leading through a valley. Sure, beautiful country around here. You'd hardly think there was a war on it. Yeah, you're not kidding, Barnes. Hey, hit the dirt off the side of the road! Where'd he come from? Hey, Barnes, give me a hand here with a tripod. Sure. What do you want, Captain Eddie? High mount. That's more like it. Hey, here he comes again. Give me that gun, stew, Zabel. Let him come. That guy's going to be sorry he ever got out of bed. Baptism of fire. And Carpanetti, quick thinking, calm. I made a mental check mark beside his name, alongside Cook's and Zabel's. Three down and one to go. After that, we kept moving and finally ended up in the high bank of a creek which flowed in the flatlands along the Rhine River. Your squad will dig in here, Hollis. Your field of fire will be to the front, in this direction, To the Rhine, now, Sergeant Baxter? Yes. Now, we're about a thousand yards away from the river. Our troops control about ten miles of it. Right now, there are no troops from here to the Rhine but us. No rifle troops, even? None. They don't expect anything to happen along here, I suppose, and we're stretched pretty thin. I suppose they were needed in the bulge up north, huh? Yeah, still, we're going to have to be alert. You can never tell. Now, remember, Hollis, this whole area to your front has been mined by our engineers. Anti-tank, anti-personnel, anti-everything. Right, Sergeant. Okay, men, let's unpack our shovels and picks. We've got to make ourselves a hole in the ground. From our position, we could look across the meadow to our front, only about 700 yards. The mists from the river kept us from seeing farther. About a thousand yards to our left were the few houses of the village. To our right, snow-covered flatlands. If we get a phone wire strung up to the command post, Sergeant. Good. All right, men, take a break. We've got the emplacement dug. We can camouflage later. Oh, good Lord. Got a cigarette cook? Oh, yeah, here. Hey, Sards, look. What is it, cook? Somebody's coming. Hey, it's kids. A boy and a girl. I'm pulling a sled yet.  They must be from that village. Hey, you kids, come here. They don't understand English. Well, that's my language book. Yeah, here it is. Uh, bonjour, mon petit, sa va bien. There's no use. Pigeon French or no. The kids would have nothing to do with us. We tried chocolate bars, chewing gum, everything. But they just kept on sleigh-riding down the creek's bank, not paying any attention to us. Maybe it was because of the intensity of our situation. First time in action, the bulge at its height, I don't know. Somehow those kids ignoring us sort of got me. Well, how do you mean, Sards? Well, this barn's... Hasn't anybody ever told these kids why we're here in their country? From the way they acted, you'd think we were Nazis. Well, maybe they're shy. I don't know. I don't think so. I'll tell you what, Sards. Let me try once more. What can you do that we haven't done already? Look, you see how they're sleigh-riding? Sitting upright? I'm gonna show them how we did it at home. Belly-wopping. Hey, kid! Barns approached with a big smile while the kids stood looking. Then as he stretched out his hand for the sled, the boy who was holding it suddenly turned and ran. I bent over and started to fill out my range card when all of an instant I thought of it. Hey, kid, come back here! Come back! But he kept on running straight out to the front toward the run, with nothing between him and the river, but a couple of thousand booby traps. You are listening to the proudly-we-held production of collector's item. We will return in just one moment for the second act. I suppose all of us at one time or another have seen the principle of strength through unity demonstrated by a handful of sticks. Singly, they can be broken very easily, but when bound together, well, then it's practically impossible to break them. And so it is with our America. Working together as a team, we can be certain that our democratic way of life will never be broken. One of the most important members of democracy's team is our United States Army, a highly-spirited organization that offers unequal opportunities to modern young men and women. Today, the Army has a new career program and operation, one that permits you to choose your own course of training in the skill that best suits your aptitudes and interests. So we kind of suggest you find out about it real soon. And how do you do that? Go down to your local United States Army recruiting station and talk it over with the real friendly folks down there. There's complete information without obligation. So plan ahead. Face your tomorrow today. Team up with the Army, and you team up with success. And now the second act of the proudly-we-held production collector's item. Thought much recently about those days back there in Alsace-Lorraine. Being a First Sergeant now keeps me pretty much in the present, but looking at this cup and remembering out loud like this brings it all back clearly. I can feel it now. The cold shiver that ran down my spine as I saw that kid run toward the Rhine. But before I could take a step, Barnes had lunged out and thrown himself to the ground in front of the boy. And by the time I got there... Sergeant! Pull that kid back. Quick! Yeah, I've got him. Hey, what's going on? Cook, keep your eye on this kid. What you got there, Barnes? Booby track. I was just able to grab the string and hold the pin when he stepped on it. Lucky. Nice work, Barnes. Okay, kid, listen. No good here. Boom, boom. See? Now, alle, alle. Come pray. Go home. That was a close call, Barnes. Yeah, you must have reached that pin at the same time the kid did. If it had been one second later, whammy. That took a lot of nerve, Barnes. Oh, just happened to be there. Any of you would have done the same. Maybe any of us would have, but the fact remained that it was Barnes who had stuck his neck out a long way. And we all knew what it took to do something like that. As I went over my range card later, I realized that now I knew my whole squad. Each man in it had one quality at least that I was sure of. And those qualities were enough to set my mind at ease. Now, I completed my card.  As they boasted there, looking at me expectantly, it suddenly struck me I'd been forgetting one thing all along. Maybe the biggest thing of all. Myself. That's who I'd been forgetting. For the three stripes on my arm, my 24 years of life experience, my knowledge of my job enough to prepare me for leading four men into combat, would the orders I'd have to give them be the right ones? Now, before you settle down, we'll have to get an emplacement, Doug. An emplacement? You mean we've got to dig as a ditch? That's right. Come on, Sarge, give us a break. What? What do you say, Sarge? We're ready for anything that comes now. The gun's all set up. I don't know what word. It was the end of a long day. Their tired faces stubby with beards looked at me as if they couldn't believe I meant what I said. I was face to face with what I'd been thinking about but a few minutes before. What was the right order for me to give? What was more important, the comfort of my men or doing what my training told me was right? But, of course, there was only one thing I could do. What's the verdict, Sarge? This. See down along the creek, the little ridge leads from here to that knoll about 100 yards. Yeah? Give us cover all the way. We'll dig the emplacement there. Let's go. Position was dug, however reluctantly by the men. I set up guards. We had chow and finally crawled into our sacks. So fell asleep while I could think out with the hostile faces of those Alsatian kids and the disgruntled faces of my men.  Hey, look at that cardinal. They got the same kind of birds over here that we have wrong. Yeah, sure. Sarge, what's the latest? How long are we going to stay here? Who knows? Look. There come those kids again. Yeah, there's a boy that Barnes saved yesterday. He's carrying something. Looks like a pot. Bonjour, kiddo. Comment ça va? Bonjour. Well, he's got a smile on his face today. How come, kid? I bring café for you. You speak English, bone. Yeah, good. Oui. Mama, she told me. I tell her, soldier, he saved me yesterday. Oh. Hey, Barnes. Carpignetti, come on, get some coffee. OK. Hey, take a look at this cup the boy's got. Looks like it's brass or copper or something. Let me see. Good. Yeah, it's copper. And it's ancient. Hey, there's an inscription on it. What does it say? Detour d'Igniore. What's that? Is that French? I don't know. It could be Italian. Maybe Latin. It's a beautiful cup. You like it? I sure do. Hey, come on. Let's fill it up with some of that good Alsatian coffee. Here you are, Barnes. You first. Ah, thanks. How is it? Yeah. It's fine. Boom. Wonderful. They call this coffee. That's probably a substitute. Now, let me taste it. Mm. Yeah. Great. Boom, kiddo. Boom. It was bad, but it was hot. Still, most of all, it made us feel that we were accepted by the kids and their folks as friends. And somehow that made all the difference. In a few minutes, Barnes was showing them how to sleigh ride Wisconsin fashion. And some American and Alsatian-made snowballs were flying around. And as I watched, I couldn't help but think that all this looked more like a Christmas postcard than a front-line position. So there was nothing to our front, but the mist and shrouded river. There was no danger in moving around freely so far. Red dog, how I speaking? Red dog. Oh, Sergeant Baxter. How are things, Hollister? Quiet. Nothing doing. We have to pull out to reinforce them, so stand by. Okay, Sergeant. You'll get some hot chow in half an hour. Over and out. The hot chow came down and you can bet that the kids got some to take along with them. That night was again uneventful, but early the next morning... Listen, big guns up north. Like it won't be long until we'll be going there. We better start packing up. As such, that comes that little kiddo, Henri. Hey, bonjour. Bonjour. Well, Henri, what can we do for you? Sergeant, Mama, she wants to ask you something. Sure, go ahead. What is it? Mama is afraid the Germans will come back again. I see. Well, what makes you think we're going? Well, I do not know. Well, Henri, you tell your mama, I do not know if we go away. But if we do, tell her we'll be back, okay? Okay.  We have some things to do. It turned out we had things to do all right, but not what I thought for about an hour later. What's that? Artillery, it's not ours. Look, a bracketing barrage and coming right toward us. Man your positions. Red dog calling crocodile blue. Crocodile blue to red dog. Go ahead. Sergeant Baxter, this is Hollis. Listen, we just... Sergeant, you still hear me? Sergeant Baxter? Hello, hello? Hey, Zabo, our phone line must have been knocked up. Trace it back. See if we can find it. Okay, Sergeant. For the next half hour, the barrage continued, but then finally it started to diminish. By that time, my phone was in working order. Crocodile blue. Yeah, Hollis. We're having a barrage on our position. Bracketing. I know. We heard it up here. Let's keep in touch. Wilco, Roger, and out. Here comes Zabo. Hey, boy, how was it? Pretty rough. It was a big chunk of the wire was cut out. I didn't have enough spare wire to reach both ends. What do you do, Zabo? Well, you know that abandoned farmhouse down there? There was an old radio area wire running along the wall as I ripped it off. I spliced up the break. Good boy, Zabo. That's using your head. The resourceful Zabo, just as I had him figured he came through. And he also showed he had marxie to dodge all those shells and continue with his mission. But I didn't have much time to reflect on my men's abilities because another enemy barrage started, and as we stared through the smoke, what we saw pulled us up sharp. Look, soldiers. Yeah, enemy soldiers. Range 800. Right front. Adjust. Commence firing. Zabo, get on the phone and tell Sergeant Baxter what's up. Right, Sergeant. That thing's happened fast after that. The enemy came over the fields and wave after wave, even in the face of 500 rounds a minute, and the fire of our mortar and artillery support, which Sergeant Baxter had alerted. Then suddenly it stopped. They've stopped coming. Where'd they go? They ducked. I'm not sure they've stopped coming, but I'll give us a chance to cool off old Mini here. Hand me the old cans, Zabo. Come on, come on. Hurry it up. We haven't got all day. Well, hold your horses. I'm doing it as fast as I can. Lay off them. Alex, don't hand me any lip bonds. They've got enough to contend with. You think you're all alone just because you're pulling the trigger? All right, all right. Break it up, break it up. It's getting into you guys at a time like this. Now, come on. Settle down. They were as tight as knots. They had better get untied fast. But then somebody get me some water. Hey, Cook, you got any water back there? Water? Yeah, water. H2O. Oh, gosh, Captain. Eddie, I just remember I used it up. You what? I washed my socks in it. Again? Yeah. That's the second time in three months. The guys are fanatic. Can I help it if I'm clean? Clean socks. I'll give you a couple of socks in the head. Now, give me that water. Can you meet Bob? Oh, at your service, sir. At your service. Once more, the men were themselves thanks to Cook. We didn't have much time to relax for about half an hour later. Just as it was getting dark, they jumped us.  Barnes was on the gun at the time, kept it going, while the rest of us worked our M1s. Still, they came until they were almost on top of the gun. But Barnes didn't budge. I guess the only thing that saved him was Carpanetti's quick action. He threw two hand grenades at the man. When the smoke cleared, we saw that we were alone. It wasn't over yet. The next morning, they looked tags, tigers. And they're coming right at us. Carpanetti grabbed the gun and tripod. The rest of us will take the ammo. We'll move to the emplacement. We duck. Keep your heads down. Let's go. Good. This is fine. Now we'll just lay low and don't fire until I tell you. Form a position. Then when their infantry came to mop up, we hid into them with flanking fire, thoroughly disorganizing them. Oh, boy, Sergeant, am I glad you made us dig this emplacement. Hey! Hey, look! Look, tanks! Hours! And they're moving up! It didn't take long after that. The army was repulsed completely. Within a few hours, a new division moved into Relivis. We boarded our jeeps and started north toward the Bauge area. On our way, we passed through the little village. That's all right. Sergeant. Sergeant. Oh, bonjour, Henri. What is it? The cup. Mama said it is for you to keep. For me? Oui. It is to thank you for what you do. You do not go away. Okay, Henri. Okay. And thank you. Merci. It's been a long time since we rode through that village and on through Germany to the end of the war. A long time. Cook, Zabo, Carpanetti, and Barnes. The Joker and the Fixer, the Quick and the Brave.  Detour digniori, says the Latin inscription above their names. Detour digniori. Let it be given to the more worthy. This cup was given to me that day in Alsace-Lorraine. But it will always belong to those four names there. Today, you're rapidly expanding.
