Okay, it's on live on the air let me double check here with my if anyone notices a skull with two stores underneath it That's my other me and that's just a way. I'm checking to see The feeds working and that I can record stuff We've been hanged Hello me it's me again Mm-hmm good I got all my politics stuff uploaded we are ready to roll Is this the right Do you see that yes, I should also put in here somewhere because the headlines were so earning centric That we do have all the detailed earnings On on the headline show Yes Kind of stayed I kind of stayed weighed from the straight money stuff because I Wasn't sure how interesting that would be plus you covered in the headlines Yeah, I mean I think we should keep in mind that this is I mean that they are two separate shows, right? Yes But but I think it's like look Record news for Samsung good news for Facebook mixed to good news for Twitter and read all about it on The headline show The headline I read this morning was that Jeff Bezos has knocked gates off as the world's richest man I Believe that is true as well, you know that that stuff kind of always winds up fluctuating on on stuff That is always less interesting than than the headline right but That's certainly true. I mean look for somebody that got I think Fairly criticized initially for running a company that wasn't taking enough profit Jeff Bezos sure one in the long run, huh? He's doing just fine now And I think there's plenty more plenty more room room to go Those guns of his geez Louise Yeah, what's the when did he start that was that's not a recent thing is it? well, you know the the I Think I forget whether or not this came from somewhere. We just made it up on the weird things podcast, but He like Elon Musk are very space focused So let's say you were Jeff Bezos and you were very very gold driven And you wanted to go to space you would probably start around now Starting to get into the kind of shape that you would need to do to go to space You need guns like these guns like this. All right, and I'm recording everything, right? Yeah, you're gonna record where you're gonna record the show So right before you start the Patreon auto you hit record and then you end it after But brushwood goes Got you I'm I'm doing the whole pre and post show records sweet So let me hide you two have a great show. I will be throwing up screens. So don't be freaked out Any questions No, I think we got this one cool. All right Well, hello chat. How are y'all doing? Where's my news band blazer we're not got we didn't listen too busy today too busy for the blazer also kind of too hot So we are at the middle of the hour We will begin Actually here up Paul. Can you just give me a level real quick? Yeah. Yeah, here. I am. This is me Check check one two three perfect perfect perfect. Everything looks fine and dandy. So Here we go What's that? You want to get back some value for the value you get a daily tech news show? No problem. Just had the daily tech news show comm slash the port to find out how it's the daily tech news show for Thursday July 27 2017 I am Justin Robert young filling in for a vacationing Tom Merritt, but joining me All from around the world We had we had to scour the globe to find a guest that could that could that could pair with me In a tomless show and so we found the man for you. He is Paul Spain. How you doing Paul? Great. Thank you Justin Now we got a lot to talk about here a huge Earnings day if you want all the details on that I would suggest you go ahead and check out our daily tech headline show The the TLDR on it record quarter for Samsung really good news for Facebook Mixed two good news for Twitter, but aside from that, let's go ahead and get into some tech news You should know And it's second earning a second quarter earnings call Facebook announced that what's app has reached a billion users per day Those users send 55 billion messages in 4.5 billion photos each day what's app status its clone snapchat stories feature also reached 250 million daily users this is up from them a year ago saying that they had 50 billion per month So that's a huge jump year on year Digital news inner sorry go ahead Paul. Yeah, it's I guess Highlights what a good app acquisition. This is in ended ended up ended up being for For Facebook. Oh Certainly so and and you know not a small part of their bottom line Digital news and entertainment site Buzzfeed is releasing a hundred and forty nine dollar hot plate dubbed the tasty one There's right the tasty one top It's described as a precision smart cooktop letting users pan pot slow cook and more featuring Bluetooth control via the tasty app The tasty one top will ship this no Vember now I wanted to highlight this story a because it's ridiculous and sometimes I love the silly and absurd but also because of how much online retail has become a huge part of Sites like Buzzfeed and the Daily Dodd and and what's left of Gawker these kind of retail Agreements are huge. I'm curious Paul Do you think that Buzzfeed can transfer into a brand that you trust for cookware? Well I'm not I'm not sure whether they can but I you know I think just the the reach that they have means that they will they will be selling these I'm sure and you know in in the old days it used to be the the infomercials that would that would be selling products and Yeah, they've got they've got room to sort of create the the next generation of infomercials to Sell and promote these so I wouldn't wouldn't be surprised if it pans out Okay for them on this one. It's a pretty expensive product for what it is though hands out. I see what you did there Now here we have some more top stories CNBC has revealed Amazon is starting a secret team dedicated to health care dubbed 1492 in reference to when Columbus sailed the ocean blue and landed in the Americas the team will be headquartered in Seattle focusing and We'll cover both hardware and software Solutions to the project among the opportunities being looked at are pushing and pulling data away from legacy data systems a Platform for telemedicine and virtual consultations and health applications for existing Amazon hardware like the echo and dash wand We'll be going deeper into this in our discussion. So we'll kind of keep it quick here Paul Amazon getting into health care just a one sentence thought before we do a deep dive later in the show Smart lines up with what they're doing with the rest of their AI ambitions and You know tying in with echo and so on. Yeah, I think there's some exciting possibilities for this one Well, let's get into the rest of the stories the US house lawmakers and the house energy and commerce committee passed and sent a bill that would allow companies to more easily test and Deploy self-driving cars on US roads for a vote in the full chamber safely ensuring lives future deployment and research in vehicle evolution act Which roughly abbreviates to self-drive act She's Louise will allow overtime up to as many as a hundred thousand highly autonomous test vehicles on the road and exchange For the Department of Transportation to waive some federal safety requirements like steering wheels Companies will need to prove that their self-driving technology is as safe as traditional people driven cars No date has been scheduled for the vote Paul You're actually a later today on New Zealand time. I'm gonna go have a discussion About self-driving cars with somebody in your government, right? Yeah, I've got Simon Bridges who's the the Minister of Transportation here in New Zealand come coming in for a podcast. So This is an area I'm really interested in and you know, I think anything that governments can can do to facilitate moving Moving things for Ford in terms of autonomous vehicles is good I think there's there's still a lot of concern out there from the general public that don't Really believe that the technology is there yet But certainly my my confidence from what we've seen so far suggests that Governments should be supporting the stuff getting vehicles out onto the road and in this case with the the self-drive act It it looks as though there is certainly some onus on the automakers to be Proving that their vehicles are gonna be at least as safe as as human driven ones Which you know shouldn't be too hard to do when you're talking about a machine That's got eyes on the back of its head and lots of beating power Absolutely, you know when when I look at a story like this. It's obviously the Confluence of a couple different things the auto lobby in America is tremendously powerful There's a reason why the automotive industry has been bailed out several times before by the government and several auto companies have been bailed out so The fact that this is where the technology is going the question now becomes if you are a governmental representative Is whether or not you impede it and and how long you impede it for the sake that you don't want to have blood on your hands If something goes horrifyingly arrived the fact that this is happening now is very very important that it's a Federal act because it also just opens up the places where these kinds of cars can be tested on the state level where we've seen a Lot of different varying options from you know, listen, but let's all remember it was it was I think last summer when Uber had to load up all of their cars from San Francisco and truck them on down to Arizona to continue their testing so Obviously incremental steps here, but I think both here and in New Zealand It's just a matter of time before before these things continue to roll out. I Agree and and the changes that they're going to you know bring to us I think you know still we're gonna we're struggling to understand exactly What those things are what's going to be the impact when we get to a point where a hundred percent of the vehicles are Autonomous does that mean we can double the speed limit triple it? What are all those possibilities? I'm not sure but I think The the changes are certainly exciting We have a new update to the streaming wars at the new music seminar conference in New York YouTube's global head of music Lear Cohen stated that Google Play music will be merged with YouTube red to create a new streaming service Cohen added that he wants more direct collaboration with music labels and rights holders The move was made to help educate consumers and bring in new subscribers Google said it will only notify users here. Sorry will notify users before any changes happen now here in America and I don't know how much of this is is analogous to what's happening over there in New Zealand Paul The the big war to see who will own the future of music distribution has largely been fought between the industry leader Spotify Which has many many more users, but has a free tier which is very controversial Apple music which has become a very powerful player and now Google which Certainly has plenty of sway between their ability to make deals and have YouTube red in their pocket And yet has never been able to offer a very clear and concise proposition to their customers Does something like so this is this seems to be that they are following very much in the model of Apple music They have liar Cohen who was somebody that was much like His name is escaping me, but he used to be interscope records Jimmy Iveen at Apple is a former music Executive that now wants to seemingly follow the same playbook. Let's get exclusives Let's make sure that we make a big deal that you're only able to listen to this here But also have the largest catalog and a robust technological infrastructure Do you think that that this seems that following the Apple path and maybe not Doubling down on the Spotify path since you know YouTube is in Google is really really great at selling advertising is the right path I'm not sure I think it's time will tell on this, but I think there is some benefit from a simplicity You know perspective of of bringing bringing things together in this way You know a single subscription that gets you access to As much as possible seems to be smart. I'm an Amazon prime subscriber But that's good You know getting access to the music and videos and and so on that comes under under that subscription Although I maybe Don't leverage those as those things as much as I could within the subscription Just having it there and it being simple is is great and from a you know a user perspective. I you know, I like it So that that is actually fascinating I'm really glad you brought that up because that's kind of off the board here right now They're they're looking to do like I said something that is fairly similar to Apple music by all available evidence However, you're right Google does a million different things and Amazon does a million different things and Amazon doesn't care if you understand Exactly everything that your prime Does they are fine with you only knowing 10% off the top of your head of what kind of value you get out of that $99 a month Whereas as long as it's the 10% that you care about that keeps you paying for it Who cares just keep stapling things to it people that love today Shipping for prime probably don't know that you can also get a free twitch subscription And similarly the kid that gets the free twitch subscription doesn't care that the mom and dad can get mulch on 48 hours notice similarly here I wonder what Google could all put together that would make a Absolute no doubt about it. I just got to pay X amount of money into this sort of bundle Yeah, I think there's some there's some future there But there's probably a bit more work for them to do and in developing it But they seem to be picking up a lot of users on on YouTube read already I don't know the stats, but it does seem to be pretty popular Although now that I think about a little bit more Amazon does make you pay extra for their music streaming service. That is not just totally included with prime. So It was tied in there. I think you get limited. I'm members stream for free Well, well for whatever reason then my my my my echo doesn't play me full songs Maybe maybe I just got to figure that out.  That is your my echo. Yeah. All right. We'll figure it out How about this one sling TV will host its first pay-per-view event Saturday the feature will be the UFC 214 Cormier versus Jones to according to sling TV's Ankit Bishoy Bishnoy. Oh geez the company is planning on future pay-per-view events alluding to other fight matches Paul this is a bit of a middle area for a lot of these companies that the trend seems to have been and UFC certainly has their own independent fight pass feature But they have stuck with traditional pay-per-view as it still does bring in a consistent revenue Although declining Whereas companies like the WWE and certain other sports leagues have decided to totally unbundle and just sell a lot of their premium Sorry, their premium content directly to their fans Do you think that this is something that the Chord cutters pay-per-view is this a way stop along to a different future or is there something comforting to yeah I maybe I just want this fight I don't want to Subscribe and unsubscribe from a service every time I want to see something that that might interest me as a casual fan Well, it might Increase the the reach possibly although, you know, I'm not sure that that sling TV is as big enough to make a huge Difference there, but I still think that there is there's a fair bit to of Working out to do of of how sport should be Distributed on demand You know on a on a global basis here in New Zealand. We have we have one predominantly satellite TV based provider of Who really has a stranglehold on most of the sport and you know, it's fair to say that that that most people Looking forward to that situation Changing and for these things to develop a little bit more. Yeah, I think you're going forward We will see multiple choices for people in terms of how they get access to Content and seeing things bundled together or accessible through you know a channel like Sling TV makes some make some sense. I quite like The way Amazon Prime allow you to add, you know bits and pieces on to your base Subscription we seem to be seeing seeing a bit of a bit of that That makes quite a bit that approach makes quite a bit of sense to me Although Amazon haven't been playing in the in the area of sport yet And you know, it's I guess youtuber in a in a similar sort of base, you know approach Yeah, and that that you know, why they haven't gone near near any add-on services They're you know, they just a world unto themselves that at this stage now you said multiple and I think that that's an interesting idea But it might run a little bit against you know against across purposes because for Something like like I think the WWE's model what they want is like Netflix or HBO for you to come on during the busy season They want they want HBO wants you to to sub when Game of Thrones is on and then they want to spend that entire You know eight to twelve weeks that Game of Thrones is on Selling you on all the other cool stuff that you can get in the hopes that they can keep you around longer If you are just able to buy paper views Then you are not getting into their ecosystem and a substantial amount of that value IE you for getting to cancel is totally lost to them. So I think this is It's interesting because for me, this is a move by UFC that says I Desperately want to continue pay-per-view rates from totally collapsing So let's try a couple other things that get us pay-per-view revenue But at a certain point if it continues to fall We just got to jump whole hog into selling this stuff directly to our fans at whatever price we need One more clarification. What I was referring to is Prime music unlimited, which is an add-on That gives you unlimited plays and skips on Amazon Prime music That is at least in the United States $7.99 a month for Prime members and non Prime members get it for 999 a month, which is very very competitive and 799 is cheaper than most of the other services competitively AMD's budget Ryzen 3 processors ship today the 3.1 gig a four core four thread Ryzen 3 1200 will sell for a hundred nine dollars and the 3.5 gig Ryzen 3 1300x will go for a hundred and twenty nine AMD executives said they've been Downbending or turning off cores of Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 chips to create the line. However, the chips will Sell for multiplier unlocked for overclocking Aim squarely at the Intel cores i3 line and AMD's sorry Intel cores i3 line AMD's promises superior performance and both chips will likely Be VR ready This looks cool So but the price on VR Potentially coming down is this that the the beginning chills of the winds of winter that signify that VR is here I'm not sure about that, but you know, it certainly helps make it it makes it more accessible and What I what I hope we will see is we'll just start seeing a lot more AMD processors available in computers in the in the long term and you know I hope that starts moving pretty pretty quickly just looking at all that the stats and the numbers around these Ryzen 3 Processors, you know, they look really fast good value and You know, they they look to compete really well against Against, you know, the i3 Chips from from Intel. So, yeah, this this hopefully stirs things up a little bit And we see a little bit more from AMD who's you know processes We haven't really seen other than very budget systems Or you know custom build sort of you know gaming machines and so on for for so long now It's been it's been very quiet Intel. I've had far too much talking. I think I was gonna add one thing on what Paul just said Mm-hmm is that this essentially means that AMD is back as a Significant player in the desktop processor market now. You might not think it's a big deal but I mean this is lighting another fire under Intel's collective corporate butt and That could either mean lower prices on a set of family of chips that Intel is out But it also means that there will be That competition will be coming from two directions for Intel from the x86 from AMD, but also from the ARM Series of processors that's licensed out by you know, Samsung Qualcomm and everyone's grandmother So it is it is a significant pressure on Intel and it can't be understated that AMD Even three or four years ago people were saying like do they even have a place in the market anymore? I mean other than just creating low-cost chips and you know, Ryzen is proving to be a Much bigger deal than people gave them credit for three years ago Well said I'll tell you what if you want other stuff that is well said You can go ahead and check out the Daily Tech headlines every day in about five minutes Just subscribe to at Daily Tech headlines Com and again if you are here for the financial news, that's where you're gonna find it today Go ahead and check it out in today's edition of Daily Tech headlines However, let's get into our main event. That is that Amazon According to CNBC is working on a secret health Skunkworks called 1492 working on medical records virtual doctor visits and more again they CNBC also reported back in May that Amazon is looking into moving into pharmaceutical sales I wanted to talk about this Paul because Amazon is obviously a very buzzy company right now as we pointed out in the pre-show Jeff Bezos Now into the the dance with Bill Gates on who will be the richest man in you know Seattle in the Seattle metro area slash the world however Healthcare is also something that is very much on people's mind as it is debated in the United States government We won't get into the latter, but let's get into how the former can affect the latter is Their room for Amazon to move into this space and bring value to not only customers in America But customers all over the world of at least part of this is for virtual doctors visits for example I think the the potential of this is Absolutely incredible in terms of the impact on society the access to health care on a global basis You look at I guess, you know the the big challenges in the majority world of the developing world and that you know There are so many health related the health related challenges, you know, I think this could reach in there obviously Within the Western world There's still room for improvement. I think you know looking at All sorts of aspects of how healthy we are today sitting in front of screens and so on So, you know if we we can move forward with bringing AI into the space Being more I think what we what we will see is this sort of more continuous You know connection with health care at the moment, you know I think traditionally we'll go off to our our primary doctor on on often a pretty sporadic Basis, but you know when health care can be Connected with us on a continual basis, then you know, I think that's something that could really You know tip the balance and in terms of starting to improve our Our you know our situations around the world You know from a health perspective and the possibilities with with AI and varying senses and so on I think are really huge and obviously Amazon's very capable in that artificial intelligence space and they've got you know I have an increasing number of of gadgets that are That's the Let's also point out here that Health care is a three trillion dollar industry. This is not I mean Amazon is certainly might have the best intentions Obviously to make the world healthier and happier, but this is a gigantic place for them to move into they have made rumblings in the past Because they do sell medical equipment that a lot of these boutique companies are boutique quote-unquote. They make tons of money But smaller less connected companies than Amazon who sell Specialized medical technology they're waiting for the the next shoe to drop and Amazon to just eat them all whole Overnight if they move into pharmaceutical sales, that's yet another thing. However, what I find very very interesting about this is more of a social question We have often culturally felt very very Private about how we share our medical history it creeps us out when we find out that searching around via You know that women who are you know in long-term relationships all of a sudden start getting ads for diapers before they find out They're pregnant and stuff like that. There's these these weird areas that we have That we have kind of bugaboos about but what Amazon would want to do here is to Really plug you further into the ecosystem and if that's the case do we trust Amazon as a company? specifically to hold that data because the Reputation that certain companies have had I think that it would be a different story of Facebook wanted to do it for example Or if Google wanted to do it for example does Amazon have our trust I Wouldn't trust anybody entirely. I you know, I think As we start moving into this you have to weigh up the the pros and cons. What are the benefits if you? Start interacting with a system and you allow it to have your health care records You have to accept that there is some risk that you are going to lose control of this information That that's just a trade-off and certainly we would We would hope that wouldn't happen But I'm sure there will be you know data spillages and hacks and and other things going on at some point in terms of Amazon Sure, I mean they're obviously gonna be looking to see how they can Utilize this for further Monetization and if they're in the pharmaceuticals business then quite naturally they're going to going to want to Take take advantage of that whether they will hold out data secure Well, I guess maybe maybe don't think about it as secure, right? Let's assume it's secure but I Would never we are comfortable with them having or or let me put it this way Are we more comfortable or less comfortable with Amazon having that data secured in whatever impersonal AWS server? It might be floating around in Instead of maybe a doctor that you a new doctor that you get when you move into a new town How much more do you trust Amazon than you do just whoever I get assigned to when I go into? You know when I start searching on Yelp for a primary care physician Well, I wouldn't have a lot of a lot of confidence in your primary care provider because you know often they're very small They're there, you know capabilities in terms of how they look after their data can be can be fairly poor And in theory Amazon should be you know much more capable at actually keeping this information secure, but Yeah, I guess different individuals are gonna have a different perspective on this but we you know when when I Look at the technology that I that I often see Doctors utilizing and you know, sometimes they're quite small practices I don't have a lot of confidence in their cyber security. So, you know really anything that That they hold at some point could Yeah, could could be leaked or or or just lost Well, we will have to see where this goes again This is all just reported by CNBC and and there are probably ongoing right now at every major tech company a billion different fun little skunkworks that are in different stages of progression, but Certainly something to keep your eye on as Amazon continues to spread far and wide Thank you to everybody who participates in our subreddit by the way submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com and Facebook.com slash Daily tech news show you can of course send messages to feedback at dailytechnewshow.com And here's one of them Nick sent us this email about facial recognition in airports I was listening to a story about facial recognition being used in airports on DTNS today a few years ago I was flying flying from Wellington to Australia. Hey, look at that New Zealand And I was able to get their security by swiping my passport through a machine and standing a set distance away from the camera until it gave Me the all-clear from my understanding It was using some sort of facial recognition to match me to my passport and let me through security It worked perfectly and I was shocked at how easy it was to do you were you were nodding In in recognition here Paul. Have you used one of these machines before? Yeah, so I mean we have it's similar entering into the US as well for a New Zealand citizen where you've got the You know the biometrics that are used there. It takes, you know, it takes your photo. I think coming into the US New Zealand Australia have that have that interaction So we used to go through a manual passport check in New Zealand and in Australia those bits have been bypassed When I come into the US now, yes, I go through that my passport gets scanned I go through those steps, but then you do still You know go to the usual desk. It just speeds up the process a little bit But yeah, and some some areas with we've bypassed that Passport check where you've got somebody there who's actually You know slapping a stamp on your passport and so on and You know, I can understand why that why that Maybe is still still appropriate and some some places But I haven't seen anywhere who anywhere where they automatically stamp your stamp your passport yet with the machine And really I guess it's questionable whether you need a rubber stamp or not. It's a bit old school Yeah, I mean for the government's usage It doesn't really matter what the ink on your particular book is aside from, you know Just trying to be a a fun world traveler These are definitely devices that I have used if you have global entry here in America These are the devices it sounds like the exact same experience as you would have coming coming into America Where you can skip your customs lines and everything by just going through one of these kiosks It is scary fast facial recognition I can tell you that because I think the two or three times that I've used it I haven't even gotten my hat off by the time that they take the picture and they've already okayed me to to go through So there's enough information coming through that they can match it with with whatever they need to and you can go Forward so great email.

So I will find out I've Never spent much time with him before so it will be interesting Cool Cool. Cool. Either are you guys going to podcast movement that you're sort of event or not? um To be honest, that's the first time I've heard of it I have I have heard of it. It just was always kind of in places that I It was not a con that that I uh Have I've made a priority and it's it's it's always been fairly far away, but Say what uh, if it weren't for the fact that I've uh, I've been in a in a coma running this kickstarter for uh For for the past, you know forever Uh, I would probably uh, I'd really have thought about it more But if it's in anheim again, I would definitely think about going to it because it seems like something that I would really enjoy Hmm. Yeah, it's it's usually yeah, usually quite Uh, quite a good event if that's uh, you know if podcast sort of I guess it's the business side of podcasting is As a big part of it. I'm doing a little a little ignite talk about the future of podcasting and where I see ai Uh, you know messing with the future of podcasting and how things are going to change so It's that'll be my little piece All right, well, I'll leave you guys to um to to finish Yeah, thanks again. That was fun. See you later. Thank you. Bye. Go cheers Uh, I do want to point out for the post-show listeners uh that uh, uh, uh, I I do currently get my health care from amazon But it is because my wife works at twitch as was pointed out to me in the chat So so a full disclosure Amazon, I guess I don't get it from them. They pay for my health care. Yeah, they they they give your wife, uh benefits Yes, although I'm wondering I mean health care is extremely complicated market to be in. Yes, um Can you can you imagine if there was an amazon hmo? See I think what they want to do is dismantle that I think I think what what they want to do is basically Create a level of care That makes all but the most catastrophic coverage Unnecessary right well, I mean like I mean I mean hmo has a very negative connotation But if you if you strip away if you strip away the innuendo and what it is. It's really just uh, uh Managing cost which amazon I think Might be in the the market to do this or see if they benefit think about it Simply on the pharmaceutical side. They have enough clout to get a huge buy On most prescription medications if they choose to go that route um, they could demand A certain cost per unit and they could pass the savings on Uh to to customers, which would be great. Oh, certainly. I mean, I think yeah cost efficiency. Absolutely without a doubt Uh, especially if they're doing it globally Like say say like zanax or something. I don't know. I'm sure the thing of zanax costs But if if they're selling it see, I'm wondering if they would probably run a fall of various national laws at that point Well, okay quick titles. Um, primary physician get it primary physician Uh, uh, everyone does this every time Tom's out to show without merit cook bait 1492 shall commence The jury is out on amazon secret health project Um in the grim darkest of the music streaming future.

I just sure get that list up and let's talk about it next week so because I think if you get these 40 new men in there, I guess you'll lose 40 in the South and you can probably Charlie keep 100 heads but you can outvote them and we ought to, when you adopt those rules, we ought to stop all this foolishness about not getting to build a conference without Howard Smith's consent. And we just ought to have to go around begging like me and you did this last year. It's just not the president and the speaker above that and we just might as well put it on the line or get out. I know you're having the people vote for you and then turn it over to them without a fight. So I just think it, I know it's losing some of these boys all for cautious and so forth but I just feel like it. Mr. Abram you say to me about the Senate, he said that you, I like you to be deliberate and I know what you think it is. I ought to be allowed to talk but he said that body has got to be able to work its will and it may not work in an hour but it's got to be able to work in a day or a week now. We've got to work our will and you can't work your will when Howard Smith can keep a bill and go in the conference or Groce can stop it. You can't work your will when the free people of the United States give you 15 million mandate and you can't even get up a bill and speaker has to go around and beg and pass it back and the president has to call and talk to me at St. George and stuff like that. It's just not right and we ought to get a three weeks rule or two weeks calendar or something else and you've got to whoever you put on that rules committee I put old Claude Pepper because I got he's a fighter in I was in Florida with him and he helped us carry Florida. But I told you. Yeah I know we talked about it. Who I have in mind. Yeah I know we talked about it.  He's a McCormick man. He's a Johnson man. He's a Democrat.  These people in these forty five states now forty four states district Columbia they didn't vote for Howard Smith. No. And they they we've got my hand and he's a naval man but he's representing another century and go out and represent it here viewpoint and they got six states and the people of fifteen million up and say they want to move ahead and if we don't move with them they're going to move over.


A simple jig every new woodworker should have. A router guide rail. Hola, woodworkers. Paul Carlson here with my cup of vodka. I mean my hot tea. You very often need to use your router or your plunge router to do a nice straight dado. Or in this case, I'm doing essentially a rabbit because that's the first part of cutting a tenon and on this large work piece. This is not a work piece. I'm comfortable going to the table saw or using a hand circular saw or using even a cross cut sled because it's just too big, too cumbersome for my small workshop. So my decision is to use a router to get the depth that I want. So I need a simple jig. Not exactly rocket science. Just get yourself a half inch plywood and a smaller, probably three-quarter inch plywood. In this case I've got hardwood because that's what I had available. And make sure that the piece you're going to put on top of the half inch plywood is very straight. Then just simply either screw it or glue it or probably preferably both a couple inches from one edge. And then you want this to be wide enough, maybe eight or nine inches. So you've got plenty of length here more than the distance between the edge of your router and your edge of your router bit because what we're going to do is use the router to cut. So we're going to get that all secured ready to be set up for final process. Put it down with some clamps and then simply run your router across it and you'll be cutting off right at this edge. Then from then on when you need to use it to let's say I wanted to do a rabbet right here or something then I can just secure this down and then simply run my router. I wouldn't run it in this direction. I run it from that direction. But run my router along here and I know with confidence as long as I keep it up against that rail that I'm going to cut a nice straight line with my router. Very simple. Hope you find it useful. Paul Carlson, small workshop guy, signing off.


Welcome to Toffy TV, I'm joined in the studio by Tony Samson from Chicago, kind of, we're going to get a story. It is our next overseas blues. His voice is an American, you'll hear in a minute. But how it's good to finally have you're in the studio, we've done this remotely, when you've been over, we haven't quite been able to meet up with, we have actually seen you a couple of times this time, so it's been good, so how are you? Very well, very well indeed, it's great to be here, finally see where all the magic happens. Instead of staring at you down a computer screen, no, very well, I've been visiting my mum and dad who've had a bit of a rough patch, so it's been great, first time I've been back in 20 months now, so it's really nice to be back, obviously spend some time with them, but actually I've been able to see a lot of Evanton as well and get me Evanton fix, so yeah, it's brilliant to be back. You're still waiting to be glanted the chance to go back to America at the moment? Yeah, yeah, with some of the travel restrictions, just a little bit of paperwork that needs to be sorted, so I'm hoping that gets up soon. So when you come over, how long did you initially think you were going to be over for, or was it just an unknown? It is a little bit of an unknown, depending on what type of ease you have and all that sort of stuff, so there was a little bit of risk attached, but I think the process is normally about four weeks, so that's the maximum, so I'm a bit over that now, but as I say, I've been able to take advantage of Evanton, so in fact, you know, I've been to three ways, and I've been going against tonight. I was in Waterloo last night to see the Howard's Way screening with Trevor Stevens, so yeah, I'm taking full advantage, you get me Evanton fix. Get as much in as you can. Exactly, yeah.  I can imagine it's exactly the same as many other people, it was my dad, so yeah, I grew up in south Liverpool, lived in Liverpool for the first sort of 20 odd years of my life, but yeah, it was my dad. He was the first one that got me hooked into Evanton, and he used to go home and away when he was a lad and a young man and talked to me about all the experiences he had. I specifically remember him telling me about him travelling down to London for the 66 FA Cup final and that experience, so as you know, when he started taking me about the age about five or six, I don't have to tell anybody as soon as you get that experience of walking up to the ground and walking up and seeing the green of the grass and everything, it just... You were hooked. That's it, and here I am now, and I've got two of my own lads and I, before we moved out to the US, they had season tickets, so the four of us had season tickets together, so I've managed to sort of brainwash them and sort of make sure that they're blues as well. So better all the way. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Who was your first hero then? My first hero was Graham Sharpe. Was it you? So yeah, he was the one I wanted to be in the playground. Yeah, and I love Graham Sharpe. I can remember the goal against Spares.  And then, as I got older, I always used to love the fact that he seemed to hate the reds. He was a great goal scorer, a scorer of great goals as well. There's plenty to choose from, and I thought he was quite underrated actually, but he was the one all the time. I remember getting one of my first replica kits, actually, and they didn't have numbers on the back then. And I remember mum saying, you know, can we somehow get a number nine on the back? And she did it out of a vest. It's also got on, I was made up. I used to play out in the front of our house. There used to be a big gate that was always used to be the goal. That was the goal. So it used to practice, but it went pink in the wash, the number nine. So I had to retire it. Ah, so good. Na, you'd have had Stein Devil or something, you'd have been able to get that. Oh yeah, absolutely. You'd have been shot on that, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, completely. No, that wasn't around. So Graham Sharp, right? And Sharp was unbelievable. Evans, right? He was so good. So I was aged and he was so, you know, them two worked well together. So shamely they didn't have longer together. Longer, the injury. Yeah, he tailed it a bit. But now Graham Sharp, what an absolutely fantastic player. And you're right, obviously great goals scorer, but scorer are great goals. That's not an goal for me still. People try to live up to who I am feel, which was an incredible goal, but the spare's goal for me was the best goal I ever scored. Just the angle right on the edge of the box in the way. Folly in the air, the height of him. Unbelievable. Not yet, to be honest. He scored quite a few crackers that year. Sain us last weekend. He scored one against Leeds. We beat Leeds at home one. And he scored a volley from the edge of the box. Forrest, I think he got two. One of them was a volley. Just absolutely brilliant goals scorer. It was funny cos I never used to have that much confidence if he was on a one-on-one with the goal. I wasn't quite sure. There were a few occasions I can remember now where he, number one in the 44 against Liverpool as well, where he went through. That seemed to be what held him back a little bit. He could have scored so many more goals. For me, he was there. I loved the way we used to hang in the air. Sort of a little bit like DCL today. I was going to say this. I guess there's a lot of similarity. Not a lot, but the similarities between him and Dominic Aldrin. Cos people, you know, Dom's not brilliant one-on-one either. Fabulous in the air. Get more than his first year of goals and stuff. Yeah, sometimes you think they're up there too early, but I mean, Sharpie just used to hang in the air. He didn't know what he'd done after that. Always, always, you know, and his ability on the ground as well. He had a bit of edge as well. Yeah, he was me, man. Those memories. I know. Do you know what your first game was? Do you know what I can't? Can't he remember? I was in there. Yeah, I know, but it's funny because I think I'm the only one that can't remember the first game. We were in Orlando, obviously pre-season, and there was a little bit of a Q&A with David France and Dallan Griffiths, and I was on there talking about what we were doing out in North America. I got the same question. I went round with everybody on the panel, and I was the only one that couldn't do it. I just can't remember it. What's the first game you can remember then? The first game I can remember. I tell you what I can remember is I can remember a series of draws with Jillingham, and a cup to remember them. Was it 1-1-0-0? 0-0-0. The first game was 0-0-0. I started going before then, but I can remember that for me. It was horrible game. I'm thinking, is this it? Is this how it's going to be? Yeah, but we ended up winning. We did. We did. We got through it. But yeah, it was always for me, like many other people, I was the only one in our school that was in our school, in our year. Sorry, my class. It was a blue. And I can remember, I mean those Monday mornings were brutal. Going in. I'll never forget my first Derby. So that was the 5-0. We were in the Lower Bullens. I was in the Lower Bullens. Towards the Gladys Street end. And I can remember.  And then, of course, then obviously, you'd sit next to Reds much more than you do now. And they were absolutely everywhere. We had. My dad, anasthe, my uncle, the three of us were in the Bullens, and we must have had 25 of them sat down.  It scars you, doesn't it? Scandals. I remember crying all the way home, thinking, you know, I can't do this. You know, we can't do this again. It was terrible. And in fact, to this day, I'll never watch a Derby. You know, like me mate, come watch the poor boy. I'll never do that. Apart from the first time I broke me duck, it was actually last season in Chicago. But the pub split into sort of two bars, so all the blues were in the back, and the Reds were in the front. So I don't know whether or not I need to change it now, cos we've got to win. You've got to think like that. You've got to think like that. That's the way it is, the rules. The first Abbey, I can remember, and probably vividly, was... I think it was the season before or two seasons before. It was the beaters three, one of Goddison. And Shaft scored actually, I think Shaft equalised for everything, but I think Rush scored and Tuna scored. I remember we wouldn't have made my Dabba in the upper Gladys Street. And it was just, it was magical to Dabba, and it was like the 54,000 there, whatever. And I remember they, like, scrambled and equalised it before half-time, or just after half-time, and I remember they gramed Shawn's score on for them.  Oh, he's fair, wasn't he? And he rolled it back and Shawn's smashed it into the grief of death at the park end, and the beaters three won, and I remember, like, coming out, I think. You know what coming out, I think? We'll beat them next time, and they were amazing, and we went, they were like champions, weren't they? We'd had to go. Now I haven't been able to speak for about three weeks, but just as a kid, you're like, I will beat them next time going into school, but what's weird is, you say, you were the only one. It wasn't there, I went to Quarry Bank, it wasn't really like that in Quarry Bank. There was loads of blues, so there was a split. Don't get me wrong, but you'd write Monday mornings, could be, cos everything would obviously crack, and they were winning everything. So sometimes you would get a hammer, but obviously it changed.  So even then, that sort of, you know, defence mechanism was there. I can remember saying at the time, cos my dad used to say, you know, come on, go like, they've been on with me again. I was like, yeah, better not, I'm done with this, son. So just, you know. But you never have any choice. It's not that long, no, it's just till it changed.  That's how it is. We just went for what we do, we went leagues, we went cups. Life's great. Well, this is it for life. I can remember the morning of the 85 Cup Final. I can remember, and this is exactly sort of, is an example of what you just said. I remember being on my bike with a mate of mine, Christine, his name was at the time. He was a red, wasn't that much into football. And we were talking about the match that I was doing. Talking about the match that afternoon, and he was like, you know, what do you think it's going to be? And I was so confident. I was like, oh yeah, no problem. We'll win that. To think back, you know, how nice it would be to have that level of confidence now. And then obviously. I've told the younger lads in here, and I've said this before, and I told the Q&A team, me and Peter E, I've done the Q&A for Peter E, so we were at the side, cos the Sunderland game is on it, isn't it? I've said before to the lads. I and Wallace scored that day after 85 seconds. That's right, yeah, they did to the lead in here. And me and Dad were like, yes. Cos we're going to come out now and batter these. Now, come on, God. We go one behind and just like that. Oh my God. But them days it was just like, like, you've like, you know. Oh, it was a confidence, wasn't it? You poke the bay now. He's done that. He's the worst thing you could have done. That cup final. Cos obviously we just won. The cup and the cup, and we were all ready to lead champions. I remember being in Stammore in the pub, so we'd go, we'd driven to Stammore, and we'd gone through a pub, and we were getting the training to Wendley. That's right when we were your kid, you know, when we were in the pub in a pub's pack, and the build-up's on and all of that stuff. And there's United fans in there, and we were singing, and we'd come forth in the two horse race, cos they were blits, and they looked like they were on the challenge. Do you have miles ahead, Wendy? Do you, yeah. And all this, like, I'm going, I'm thinking, three-nil, three or four-nil.  No, no. Oh, my God. And then going into Wendley and standing on the tunnel end, and up steep, and coming up, was boiling off day as well. You know, it was overcast, but it was boiling. Just no time, thinking diesel beaters, no time. But we weren't our normals, radiated the post in the first half of the volume. That's right, yeah. And then the sending off wasn't it? But the sending off, it was like, it's all over. It's all over now, this. And then, oh, my God. Day score, and it's just like, I had that backhead, and I feel it graze the bar.  That's right, yeah, yeah. And then we're getting back on the, we got back on the tube. That was made up before, by the way. Oh, my God. In fact, I will get back on to you. This has become about me. No, it's fine. I'll join it. We're walking down. We got the train. Changing roles. I've got a couple of questions for you. Right now, please. We're coming down, Wembley. We come off the train, the tube, and it's split. So we went over to the right unawm ni. But basically what should have happened was, Evan went on, me and United went the other. So we kind of kind of got us, you'd over to the right. So we come out the tunnel to go on to the thing. At the same time. But we were in the United with the United fans. Someone grabbed my ear from the kids from the United fan, I'm thinking. I'm only a kid. Eleven, twelve, one was right. Thirteen of course. Just grabbed me yet. And I'm thinking. Oh my God. I'm getting filled in. And he like dragged me over there. Evan fans getting smack left right in the centre on this bit. He drags me over to the base. He's like, get him out of here. Oh really? He just went, yeah, yeah. I had a crossing because he had older me yet. You know. I'm like thrown over to the other side. But coming out, we got back on the tube and go on and we've lost. And he's like, oh my God. And there's some fell. And I don't know whether this is the same fell about this fella said to me. It's off like. And I was like, oh God. And he was like mate. He went two out of three on bad. I wonder what. There was that panel wasn't it the next day. Two out of three on bad and all that. You get greedy don't you? One out of, one out of bleeding. Ten. Be nice now. But you do think it's never going to end. You just thought it was that was it, didn't you? And that's how to watch football. But it's funny. I mean, loads of sort of kids that have been born in the last sort of twenty odd years. I mean, like my lads, you know, they've grown up in an era of, you know, we live down south before we moved out of the U.S. You know, Chelsea city coming on the scene. Liverpool, obviously. But you know, they've stuck with it. You know, they've done. And I haven't had to try hard. You know, it's been part of. It's like my dad, you know, it's just part of it. You know, sometimes when you're not in the city, you're going off there, you know, just do a little bit more. But you know, we had, we've still got our season ticket. So we used to come up every week. So, you know, we quickly got into the routine. And like they, they, they mad blues now trying to convert everybody out there. So. I mean, that's superb. Cos I'm like that. I'm like that. That's shitty. You're good. You know, he's a season ticket holder.  I'm like. Cos I'm looking at it. I'm thinking. Oh my God.  A life of pain. Yeah. He's old as the elder. So I've just been there. He's just like, no. What football completely? Or. So he hasn't chosen another team now. So that's good. No God, no. We went up for about twenty five, thirty games or whatever. And he was just like. Not for me. And I made up. Cos it's just less stress. If he was stressed as well as me.  Missed it doesn't like forty. He wouldn't have it any other way. Don't mean to be great. No. He wouldn't have it any other way. So you moved down to London. Yeah. With work after two. Yeah. I was doing that. And you've just said you were coming back up. So how did you then move over to, you moved over to Chicago? Over to the US, yeah. Well it was a work thing again. Yeah. So we, you know, we got asked to go over there for, you know, for a little spell and see what it was like. Again, it was all work related. So we said, yeah, come on. We'll be a bit of an adventure. How big are the decisions then? Well, I just suppose you've already moved out to Liverpool. Yeah, but it is massive. Cos obviously, you know, you're moving to a completely different country. Obviously, you know, they speak the same language and everything. And, you know, my missus is, you know, where dad was in the forces when she was young. So she was used to sort of, you know, she lived in different parts of Europe and stuff. So, you know, she was well up for it.  You know, it's not as though you're in Spain. You can hop on a plane for a couple of hours and come back. So, yeah, it was a big decision. We felt it was the right one and, you know, a chance to give the kids. Were the kids okay with it? They were actually, yeah. I remember we sat them down to say, look, you know... Were they born here in Liverpool? No, they were born in London. They were born in South Cross London. We'd already lived down there then. But I remember I was sitting and saying, look, you know, we've been given an opportunity and we want to talk to them. Their immediate response was, are we going to Spain? Cos we've got a lot of friends out in Spain and stuff. Yeah. So, they were like that. So, they were like, oh, no, no. It's not Spain. It's a bit further away. But they were fine, you know, and very excited about it. Got wrapped up in it quite quickly. And we were able to go out there and do a bit of a wreck here. So, we made that. I'm like a massive, you know, experience. So, we exposed them to a few U.S. sports and stuff. So, that was really good. But, you know, moving over, you know, I think I've told you this before, that one of the first things is like, where does the Everton fix come from? Yeah. You know, you hear and I've read over the years about sort of this North American following and what it's like. But, you know, it's like, where can I watch? Where can I watch them? How do I watch it? What channels do we need to get? Who else is there? You know, that's us. So, that was pretty high on the agenda. Yeah, it's got to be, isn't it? So, we did. So, yeah, we found this place about seven miles north of the city. So, we're a bit further north in, you know, in some of the suburbs, called A.J. Hudson's. Okay. So, it's owned by Blue. First time I walked in there, there was a 25, 30-foot flag that said, Chicago, Toffees, right on the side of the bar. So, I thought, look, I think we'll be all right. We'll be all right here. Run by a guy called Jamie Hale, who actually first started the supporters' group with somebody called Diana Machanali, who is a Chicagoan, but had visited the city, and I'll tell you a bit of that in a minute. And that's been going for 20 years now. This year is our 20th anniversary, as a Chicago brilliant. So, it's amazing how sort of sustained it can be. But yeah, Jamie, it's a football pub. So, you know, there's, you know, a little bit of memorabilia from all sorts of different clubs. There's a red corner.  There's a blue corner there. And it's great. So, yeah. So, that's now, I mean, when we were in Maidenhead, we used to drive up every other Saturday, you know, for our season tickets. That was like, you know, one or three hours. So now, our match routine is driving down. It's driving down to the ball. It takes us about 45 minutes. That's still a commitment, isn't it? So, it's still a commitment.  I was going straight, yeah, when it's the early ones. Yeah, yeah, it is. I mean, it's not as bad as the, you know, it's on the West Coast. I think you've shat here, haven't you? You've just shat it off on the mat. It's dark and it's pitch black. I'm like, oh my God. Yeah. I mean, it's not too bad. There's me mown on 20 minutes left. I know. In the winter, yeah, it can be pretty brutal. Yeah. And like the West Coast blues, I mean, they're up at like, four-eight kickoffs for them. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah.   I had my full kit on. My shinny's, yeah. My shinny's as well, yeah. My tie-ups. And this first, this voice. All right lads, how are you? And it was a guy called Stuart Greer who was the chair of the group at the time from Hayton. Straight over, made us feel at home, told us how it all worked, introduced us to everybody. And that was it. You know, it just has now become a permanent fixture of what we do. Make me elder someplace or sometimes we can't get down there all the time. And it's brilliant. It's a really, really great group of people, mixture of expats.  So, but yeah, it's been really growing. And we've, you know, we've tried to put events on and tried to grow the membership and get things going. But yeah, it's great. I mean, I've had some really great times there. Times when I wish I'd have been at Godderson, but actually experiencing things with that out there has also made it special. I mean, I remember, you know, Duncan's first game. You know, I loved Duncan growing up. I mean, he was like one of my, after Graeme Sharp, you know, he was one of my heroes. You know, and I can remember the tension in the bar.  But you know, I remember explaining to people how important this was going to be to him. Knowing how much he was invested in the club. The Chelsea game. The Chelsea game. Sorry, yeah. You know, his first one. And then obviously, you know, the way it went. I mean, I think there was people in tears and all sorts. I remember getting back in. It was a cab because I didn't drive that day. And I can remember speaking to my dad and like, well and open, you know, because you want to be the one. The emotion. But I'll never forget that. And it was even a brilliant experience. Obviously it was nothing like being at Godderson, of course. But you know, just to be part of that with the rest of the gang. You know, they would all sort of, you know. They get it. Yeah, they do. They do. You know, there's some that fall into it. You know, everyone's heard the Tim Howard story. Yeah.  You know, clearly.  He wants to know the history of the club. He wants to know about the difference in the city, the politics of the city.  That's it.  So, yeah, it's been great.  When you've got that, yeah.  Did you miss this just like? Well, you know, it's not as though it was a new thing. No, no. Everton isn't a new thing. So, you know, we were found out. And actually, you know, on the emotional side as well, you know, it's a way for me to stay connected back to the city. Obviously the team, but also me dad. Yeah, of course. You know, it allows me to keep talking to there. So, yeah, it's been great. Great. So, you're still trying to promote Everton over there, still trying to grab new people? All the time. There'll be loads there, loads of Chicago people. I don't know. Chicago, Tonyns, I don't know. I tell you, everybody, we've got everybody. Canvassing. Everybody canvassing. We've got stickers all over the city. You know, so we're trying to do that. So, yeah, I mean, look, and I think there's a real movement that's building out there now. I mean, it's been created over a long, long time and, you know, people like David Keart and Marshall and others that sort of got Evan USA going, you know, those foundations now have been really built on. And it's serious. It's nice to see the club invest in, it's got a strategy. It's invest in time. It's invest in resources in sort of building that fan base. And, you know, I think this year, you know, momentum has really started to build. There's a lot of excitement. There's some real, like, practical things that have happened. You know, what I've been trying to do is sort of bring together, sort of better connect the supporters groups. I think there's probably 50 plus, some affiliated, some are just not. But what I've been trying to do is sort of better connect those groups so we can sort of have a better idea of what we want to do, what is going to make us grow our membership, what is going to get the Evan word out there, what we can do. And I feel that sort of what we've really developed in the last, probably the last year or so. But it's getting serious. We're getting organised. We've got structure where, in constant dialogue with the club on things that they could do out there, sharing ideas. They've been very receptive to all of that. So they should be, by the way. So they should be because it's for them ultimately, isn't it? For you, but it's for them, you know. It's kind of grow a global brand, trying to take your club into a global brand. To all hands on deck, don't you? It's easier to do when you're successful. We are unsuccessful, so therefore you've got to use every resource possible. I mean, we saw that this summer, Evan going off to all hand to play in the Florida Cup, and you were there. Some still devastated that we couldn't be there. Gutted, my favourite place with my club would have been incredible. But it was great to see. It was great to see videos being shared the night before the first game. Everyone's in the pub, and you can see Evan's songs, and you can see people's faces, and people who did go on it, speaking to Jamie Ferguson on Twitter. It was amazing seeing people saying, what an unbelievable experience the first time I've ever seen my team and with these people and all that. So what was it like to experience?  As I say, and there was quite a lot of restrictions that we could do. I think normally you'd be there with open training sessions. There'd be lots of interaction with the squad and all that sort of stuff. The club obviously couldn't do that because of Covid, but it did, and again, we set up a group of the supporters' groups to put a little working club together and work with the club on what they could do. On the events, they haven't no Lando group and Laura and the work that they did to do that event in the pub at the tailgate was amazing, but what was great about it is that, and as you say, just having a team out in the US again was just amazing. But you know, when I think, you're right to think there's been a lot of criticism, I think some of it's deserved, but they didn't seem to really build on the momentum of Howard and McBride and Donovan and all the rest of them. Y prechi and Joe Maxmore and all that. So to have them back in there was absolutely amazing. And then of course, you've been speaking to people over the last two years, largely over Zoom and what have you, or on Twitter or phone calls and all the rest of it.  And the events themselves, I remember, so it was the Saturday night, it was like the welcome bit in this Irish pub in Orlando, which is where the Orlando blues meet and watch the game.   And it was just brilliant. It gives you a bit of dose of home. It was just great to just see everybody out there. And then the tailgate, that was my first experience of a tailgate.

And obviously like I say, hope to build on that for the future it will be incredible especially when I can get the thing that I've got in me add which they weren't able to do but take a couple of teams, off the women's team, and take one of the kids whether it's the 23s or whatever, and play games over a weeks period or whatever and put the train and so I think if you had like a surgery, they called Andy a surgery.

Which are the parts of the teams and why have you, which is great. And obviously they've kicked off the soccer schools thing. So they did do some of that. Some of that, I think they sort of trial that this year. So I think they did a number of states. I think they're looking to roll that out nationwide.

But we probably all levelled in. All of our fans live within five miles of the ground. You know, it's all for and I think the club liked it. Being in the center, we don't want this.

Fyddwn i'n credu ni'n ein cyfain i'n dddwn i'r bod yna, I know what we're trying to do but there's actually things that might better suit that market and better engage people so let us help you understand that and then hopefully you can come up with a solution. So yeah it's been great and obviously I've got a heavy focus on North America because I'm sort of lived there but we've formed through the forum now sort of like little regional subgroups so we've brought together some of the European groups together and again WhatsApp chats and Zoom meetings and all that sort of stuff. We're trying to do the same sort of like Asia Pacific region as well so and it's right I mean one of the big live issues at the moment is retail. I think we talk about this every time I talk to you but my first meeting at the forum I was like people can't buy a shirt, they can't get anything, it's taking ages for things to be delivered. It comes from the UK if it's not the right item or they've packed the wrong thing, you've then got to pay to send it back, people can't be asked to do that so they don't bother, they just engage and you've lost someone. So we've been working sort of with the club and through their partnerships team to try and improve that. I mean pleased to say there's now going to be sort of a bit of a trial basis but there's a select number of stores across the US now where there'll be in store merchandise. Wow, that's good. So I don't think it's all going to be available tomorrow but I think in the course of the next number of weeks. So again that's a bit of progress. Again sort of the distribution out there as well so people aren't waiting for stuff to be delivered from the UK. In the UK there's now a number of US based distributors that will carry stock so things will get there quicker and what have you, the clubs announced some more distribution parts with the likes of Walmart so it'll be easier to get stuff. So lots to do, lots to do but at least there's some signs of progress and of course the other big thing at the moment is the way we've been doing with the Irish Toffees so I don't think you've seen some of the online noise but there's just nowhere where they're able to buy anything at the moment and we've got an Irish captain and what have you so, we've been trying to wait with them in the club as well to advance that. Now is that moving forward? It is moving forward, it's not moved as forward as fast as anyone would like but we know that there's a couple of things now that are in the works that hopefully will sort of move that on. So that's what we're trying to do from an international perspective is just make those connections and the North American Toffees, we get together on a monthly basis now, the supporter group leads and we share what the club's up to and if there's anything they want to raise we then take that back. We're involved in the planning of various events, this membership thing, we've now put again another little group together to work out what's happening. Again credit to the club, they're the engagement team, they were on a call with us to like 2am UK time, do the weekly again listening to what people are saying. Good, good. Let's say you know. Only now and again, you have to do it, that's good. Going alright but it's, as I say, more to do. Any bit of progress is good isn't it as we move forward but let's finish with just how you think the season's going so far then obviously. We had a chat about Raffa beneath us, I don't think he was on everyone's number one on the list but he's come in and it seems to be going alright at the moment, doesn't it make a good start? Yeah I don't think anybody could complain with where we are at the moment, I think you're right. I was at the second screening of Howard's Wiles last night in Waterloo and Trevor Steven did a Q&A afterwards and he was asked the same question about Raffa and what the thing and he was quite interesting because he was like, look you know. I know he wasn't everybody's first choice but if you look at maybe some of the other candidates, he said he personally could understand why the club opted for him in the current circumstances and he sort of asked for his shower hands on. I don't know there's only 200 people in there but I think three-quarter of them sort of said they'd get behind Raffa but yeah. I mean look I think the start's been fine hasn't it? The manager that makes notes. You know he's very active on the sidelines, he's constantly talking to them and barking instructions and what have you. And I think we love that as fans don't we? That engage, you don't want to see someone not doing anything, you want to feel like it matters to them like it does to us so I think that's been good. But it's early days? Yeah of course. It's early days, what are we with? At the time I record them we've only actually played four games, they're about to play Burnley, this will go out after we've played Burnley. But it's looking alright. Yeah and I think he needed that start didn't he because I think it's right, if and when we do it's a sticky patch I think it might be a different atmosphere but you know what strikes me is he's got thick skin. He's been there apart from you know some of the clubs, he's managed some of the biggest clubs around the place. He seems to be very clear about what he wants to do, he seems very detailed, very deliberate about what he says and what he does. So I mean look he's here now and you know let's just hope that things stay good on the pitch. He wins us a trophy, we'll all be delighted. There we go, Florida Cup was the first one. Well that's it, he's alright, he wants something so we can follow up with another piece if you love me. I just think it is what it is and we get behind him, he's working hard, the players actually said that before I feel like he's better suited to this squad of players than my Carlo until he ever was. So I think you've got well-classed players that maybe Carlo's your man, with this squad I think that's his man. He's operated in some similar circumstances and he's with the tight pair of strings and we look at Newcastle and some of the other clubs. So maybe he can get a tune out of some of the players that actually the last number of managers haven't been able to. Make sure they make the investments not look as bad as what they were. That's what it comes down to doesn't it? Absolutely. People like I've already started the season really well, you can get him playing well and then all of a sudden people go you know what, he's decent. Where people will want to do on that season, he could start changing people's minds on certain players. Long make and sing you. Absolutely. Keep winning football. Is there anything else? We've had a good show. No, it's been great to be here. Anything else going on that you've now? I really enjoyed it. The only other thing I'd say at the forum is we've been quite active in this work about the fan-led review about trying to get in. So I'm not just sort of abroad but here about trying to follow up on some of the consultation that the forum did but also with a group of different sort of haven't the stakeholders. So you know some of the support groups that are affiliated to the FSA, the Supporters Club committee, the Disabled Support Association, Heritage Society shareholders.  And we're now carrying on that work now. One of the biggest issues that came back was how can we make sure that basically there's a proper voice at the board level for football fans. So there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes now to sort of get more input onto that and then take a proposal back to the club. What's been great is that different parts of the fan base and the stakeholders have been coming together to sort of unify around what that might look like. So still a bit more to do but I think it's really, really important that we keep pushing it at least. Absolutely. Ultimately it'll be for the club to decide what we want to do but what's been great is just how the different groups have come together. Cos we need to make sure that our interests are looked after. Most of it on me is sure that they'll be with the slice x or whatever you want to call them. I like your name better but yeah there you go. Hopefully that way can come to fruition and we can protect the game for us as fans cos it does feel like it's been going away from us, running away from us for far too long. What the pandemic shown is not really the same without us so hopefully we can wrestle a little bit of that power back. Completely. There is just a little bit but it's important and we show when the fans did make a bit of a fuss, things stopped quickly but I don't think that issue's gone away by the way I think. No, it's going to come back and that's why it's important that we've got a genuine voice there cos I think that's the way in which we're going to make sure that we don't get shafted in the future.

1. Healthy relationships help improve your mood, reduce stress and increase productivity. In the digital age, it is very easy to be disconnected from others. Many people spend a lot of time online and in front of their screens rather than talking to one another face to face. This routine can also harm your mental health as it can lead to things like loneliness, anxiety, and depression. 6 Tips for Healthy Relationships 1. Talk, talk, talk, and then talk some more. Communication is the primary tool for a healthy relationship. It can heal broken relationships, strengthen the bond, and build new relationships. Talking, asking questions, sharing your dreams together can provide freshness, excitement, and clarity to your relationship. There are many ways to communicate with your partner in a healthy way. One of them is to speak honestly and frankly about your emotions and feelings. Communication is essential for a healthy relationship because it allows us to share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with those we care about. Without communication, we might not pay attention to the needs of our partners and therefore end up with a strained or unhealthy relationship. 2. Compromise. It's not always easy for people to compromise because they may have different expectations and needs. So, it's necessary for people to find a way of meeting each other in the middle without compromising their own desires and goals. Compromise can take the form of altering plans or expressing appreciation towards each other in order to signal that they are willing to meet the others' needs. But, make sure you compromise on things that you are happy to compromise about. Don't compromise in things that are really important to you. If one of you compromises something important to them, it'll create resentment in your relationship. Find a way to negotiate something that will work for you. 3. Mutual respect and honor. A friendship is a relationship that involves two people who share a mutual respect for each other. What is it about the other person that you really cherish? Find ways to be open-minded and kind to each other. Healthy relationships require mutual respect and honor for them to work. When you are in a healthy relationship, you both can quickly answer the question, what do you like most about him or her? You also look for opportunities to enhance your partner's happiness. That's why it is so important for prospective partners to recognize their partner's good qualities before they enter into a romantic relationship with them. This will help avoid the awkwardness of finding out some of your partner's flaws later down the line instead of sooner before you get too invested in them. 4. Setting boundaries. It is important for a relationship to have clear boundaries. If no boundaries exist and get communicated clearly, then the person you are dating will not know what is important to you. And then they will act in such a way that may seem as if they are pushing and making you feel like their needs should always take priority. If they know where you stand on things, then they can make the decision of whether they like it or not. If, after you have communicated your boundaries, the other person continues to push, then you know they are not the right person for you to associate with. Boundaries are not a way to control the other person but, rather, it is a way of letting know the other person who you are, what you like, what's important to you in life. Then they can do the same. If both your boundaries match, then your relationship has a good chance of success. Setting, clarifying, and enforcing boundaries is one way people can ensure that they maintain proper amounts of autonomy and independence in their relationships. It is also helpful because it will help avoid conflicts in the future over feeling constantly wronged or taken for granted when expectations are not met. 5. Trust. Trust is an important part of any healthy relationship. It is an intangible value that is built on the perceived reliability and good intentions of another person. Trust can be difficult to build in a relationship because people are often not aware of each other's intentions, which makes humans vulnerable to manipulation. Trust in a relationship can only be achieved when you both are sure that. The other person doesn't have bad intentions. They know their partner will communicate their feelings and thoughts honestly. And, the belief that they are able to rely on their partner's support and help. 6. Support. Support is an important part of a healthy relationship because it helps partners understand each other better and work towards solving problems. Support comes in two main forms, physical and emotional. Physical support includes hugging, holding hands, walking with someone, or cooking for them. In a romantic relationship it would include being interested in having your loved ones' sexual needs met.  Having healthy relationships is not just limited to romantic relationships. It includes family members, friends, and coworkers. Relationships provide emotional support while also establishing social connections.  It is important to find people that we can trust and share our ideas with. Healthy relationships make us feel complete, feel happier, and healthier. They also help us better focus on our work and personal life. With a bit of work, the prognosis for relationships is good. Angel Loved Ones
