His YouTube channel, Sarah's Window, was a puppet show filled to the brim with the most twisted and vulgar kinds of humor imaginable. The series centered around the misadventures of Sarah, a deceptively adorable brown beaver puppet that wouldn't look out of place in a kid's show. In fact, the entire show was meant to be an adult-oriented parody of an obscure Nick Jr. show called, Allegra's Window. Although calling the channel adult-oriented would be pushing it due to the fact that the sheer amount of vulgarity ironically made it seem more immature than anything else. The Sarah puppet was performed and voiced by his girlfriend who was just as sadistic as him, if not possibly more so. I realize that the whole idea of a beaver protagonist sounds like a pretty unique creative choice, but I have no doubt that he only chose that particular species just so he could make an obnoxious amount of puns revolving around women's private parts. The original show that Darrell was making fun of featured a recurring character called, Riff the Cool Cat, who was exactly what his name suggests, a blue feline with a leather jacket. Because of the fact that Riff's leather jacket somewhat resembled a trench coat. Darrell made a very similarly designed character called, Ricky, who was supposed to be a drug dealer. There were plenty of other characters as well, but perhaps the most chilling addition to the lineup of recurring characters was the celebrity hitman. This character might possibly have been the only human in the main cast, although his species was never outright stated. He was a dark shadowy figure who donned a grim reaper-style cloak that left only a pair of eyes visible. The entire point of the celebrity hitman was that he would kill celebrities, oftentimes in very gruesome ways. There was never any sorts of satire in these scenes whatsoever, just pop-up versions of famous people getting graphically murdered. All of these celebrities were ones that Darrell personally didn't like. He even outright admitted to me one time that he would get his sadistic thrill every time he showed a celebrity he hates dying. That statement really put a shiver down my spine the first time I heard it, and admittedly just thinking about it today does the same thing.  Unsurprisingly, Darrell was one of those kinds of fortune users who you often hear regularly complaining about snowflakes and political correctness, and would do whatever he could to make those types of people angry.  This wasn't some Archie Bunker-style satire that mop-racist people either, it was nothing more than Darrell shouting the N-word over and over again for shock value. The protagonists would literally do the worst things on a regular basis and suffer no repercussions for them at all. The eerily laid-back depictions of every horror imaginable made Darrell seem like some sort of sadist who believed that is how normal people should behave. Whenever he would show me the videos he posted, I would always end up complaining about how completely immoral they were afterwards. He would often try to defend himself by reminding me of the fact that I watch Family Guy, to which I would always reply that Family Guy is a show that's meant to poke fun at bigotry, rather than simply being hateful for no reason at all. The amount of arguments we had about the show was staggering. He claimed that the reason he loved showing me them before they were uploaded was so I could have the honor of viewing them before anyone else does, but I know for a fact it was because he's fully aware of how much the show bothered me, and so he thought it was funny to see my reaction. Not only did the content bother me for obvious reasons, but I also hated the fact that this could have been a very interesting concept if utilized properly. Adult puppet shows are very rare, and if Darrell had made a puppet-based sitcom for adults that didn't rely on cheap shock tactics to get a quick laugh, he could have had a work of genius on his hands. The puppets themselves looked extremely adorable and were about as well-made as the actual ones from Allegra's window, the sets were beautifully crafted, and the special effects looked far more professional than the ones found on even some of the most popular YouTube channels. If only the writing was as good as everything else. He even used a 90's filter on the camera so it perfectly replicated the vibes of the era when Allegra's window existed, that was a pretty fun extra touch if you ask me. Speaking of the god-awful writing, the plots were about as disgusting as you would imagine them to be, but here are some of the more shocking examples as included. Sarah comes to the defense of a local serial killer. The puppet was actually modeled off of a real murderer who lived in Outer Town, which only added to the tastelessness. The celebrity hitman travels back in time to when Selena Gomez was a baby, and started shaking baby Selena as hard as he possibly could. A group of sock puppets came to town and started repeatedly chanting, Shoes Will Not Replace Us, as a way to mop the tragic events which occurred in Charlottesville. Last but not least, Sarah discovered that Ricky traps children in his basement and slaughters them. Those kinds of concepts would be highly tasteless if they were used on a horror channel, let alone a comedy one. There was one episode however that I will never forget, the utterly despicable video I saw that day would forever be ingrained in my mind. Even talking about it now is enough to make me cry, regardless of the fact this happened three whole years ago. The day Darrell exposed me to this twisted creation of his was already a very sad day for me. My dog Carl, whom I considered to be one of my best friends in the whole world, had just suddenly disappeared that very morning. That adorable little basset hound would always be lying at the foot of my bed whenever I first woke up, but that morning he was nowhere to be found. The following evening, Darrell came to our house and showed me the latest episode of Sarah's window. The first scene showed Sarah watching the movie Old Yeller. I instantly knew that this was meant to be mocking the fact that I just lost a dog, as soon as the mere title of that movie was mentioned.  I know that sounds strangely sinister, but trust me, that kind of behavior was completely in character for Sarah. In fact, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing other previous videos where she joyfully murdered Poppet Dogs before. But then I saw the thing that would traumatize me forever. Sarah slowly cracked up to a real dog who was chained up in her basement. That dog was none other than Carl. Darrell must have kidnapped him while I was sleeping, just so he could make this video. The poor little puppy looked down right miserable, clearly showing signs of abuse. He was sobbing in a way that I'd never heard him cry before. He looked hungry as though he hadn't eaten all day, and his left paw even appeared to be broken. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Sarah then picked up a real knife and started stabbing Carl with it. Hearing the best dog I've ever had cry out in defenseless pain was by far one of the most equally horrific and sad things I've witnessed so far in all my 22 years of life. As she stabbed him, Sarah laughed in a way that sounded downright demonic. Carl's blood was splattered all over the screen as this happened, and then finally after stabbing him multiple times, he died. I was literally sobbing thus after that video had ended. The first thing I did when I finally had the courage to stop crying was call 911 and inform them about Darrell's charge of animal abuse. I didn't even need to worry about him denying the allegations considering I had all the cold hard evidence I needed in the form of that video. After showing it to the police, Darrell and his girlfriend were both quickly arrested. I always knew that my cousin was a rebel, but I just assumed him to be some kind of Howard Stern wannabe who thought edgy equals funny. I never in my life believed he would be capable of committing actual criminal activity. I know that a lot of times, the people who produce seemingly dark and evil content are actually pretty nice in real life. Alice Cooper for example is believed it or not, a gentle Christian man who goes to church every Sunday, which is in great contrast to the satanic persona he uses on stage. Darrell unfortunately was not one of those people. That fateful day has majorly traumatized me to the point where I can't even enjoy anything that reminds me of the events that took place. One such example is the fact that I'm a huge fan of the adult swim animated sketch comedy series Robot Chicken, and one of the sketches last season was a parody of Old Yeller. I understand that it was merely intended to be a lighthearted spoof of an iconic film, but I can't help myself. The fact that it reminds me too much of that day always causes me to fast forward through that one sketch whenever I'm watching the episode on DVR.


So last week I took some time off so hopefully you enjoyed all of the pre-recorded videos But I'm back now, and I've been chomping at the bit to talk about this particular story I'm not gonna get into all of the details because I'm sure that you have learned about this already, but Rhonda Santis has Done a PR stunt that's just really disgusting and he did this as an attempt to hypocrisy burn Democrats And the reason why I wanted to talk about this is to explore a different element to just kind of put into perspective Historically how bad what he did really is so there were these organizations known as the white people's Councils they existed all throughout the South and the United States during the segregation era and they would often times align with members of the Ku Klux Klan to bus black American citizens to other cities and The same thing that they said was the same thing that Rhonda Santis is saying now So they'd say well, you know this particular governor He seems more open and accepting of black people therefore if we ship them to his city I'm sure that he won't view them as a nuisance as the way that we do and I'm sure that he'd be happy to house them So that's what they would say and we'll get into the specifics here But take a look at the way that Rhonda Santis described these migrants and what his intent was to do We are not a sanctuary state and it's better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction And yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you to be able to go to greener pastures Biden would fly people in the middle of the night Dump them all across this country There was no warning on any of this and all those people in DC and New York We're beating their chest when Trump was president saying they were so proud to be sanctuary Jurisdictions saying how bad it was to have a secure border the minute even a small fraction Of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door They all of a sudden go berserk and they're so upset that this is happening and it just shows you, you know Their virtue signaling is a fraud, okay? So notice the cruelty when he announced that he'd be trafficking these human beings across state lines People behind him laughed I mean particularly the two white ladies who were behind him They laughed as if it was a joke to transport human beings across state lines to prove a political point potentially doing so illegally while Getting them to agree to go with you under false pretenses I mean the whole situation is incredibly grotesque But as you saw he made a prediction at the end there and he said that you know Well, we'll see if they're as accepting as you know in these in these sanctuary cities as They say they are right because they huff and puff but I would argue that this is virtue signaling now again This is the same thing that white people's counsel said back in the 1960s and we'll get to that because the Parallels here between now and then are just stunningly striking now I'll just say that I've had my criticisms of the Democratic Party and their treatment of immigrants But on an individual level he predicted that the people at Martha's vineyard would be as cruel as he and Republicans are towards these immigrants But that wasn't actually the case as law boy tweeted Republicans shipped migrants to Martha's vineyard because they want to cast liberals as out-of-touch hypocrites whose politics are purely aesthetic But they got owned because even those country club assholes have a baseline of human decency well above the median Republican And that is exactly correct most people see these immigrants and They view them as other human beings, but Republicans here by doing this PR stunt They're essentially tacitly admitting that well, we don't view them as human beings And if we do they're certainly inferior to us as human beings Therefore other people will definitely be as cruel to them as we are but that didn't bear out now Let's get to the historical example of Alan Gilmore and what was done to him and his family So Alan Gilmore and his wife with eight children They were shipped across state lines under false pretenses much like these immigrants reportedly were as well And we're not gonna read this but this is an actual clip of the news article from the 60s of this So you can pause the video and read this if you want to but let's get into the actual details Presented in an op-ed for common dreams by Tom Hartman. He writes in the fall of 1962 Deputy US Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach supervised a group of us marshals providing protection to James Meredith as he became the first black person to ever enroll in the University of Mississippi five months after Meredith enrolled at UM in the last week of February of 1963 Charles Bennett president of the White Citizens Council of Shreveport, Louisiana Approached a black father of eight children Alan Gilmore telling him He knew of an employment opportunity in Trenton, New Jersey and would help him get there Gilmore had previously driven a cab and worked in a grocery store in Bakery But had lost his job during the slight economic downturn of 1963 Bennett provided Gilmore with bus tickets for himself his wife and their eight children as well as $75 and spending money and a dozen cans of sardines to snack upon during their two-day journey to Trenton He also gave Gilmore the address of what he thought was the home of Nicholas Katzenbach telling him that Katzenbach was the employer in Need of and awaiting Gilmore services as soon as the Gilmore family was on the bus the white citizens council called a press conference and President Bennett announced that the next day the Gilmore family would show up at Katzenbach's home It was essentially a PR stunt and that's just one example to be clear white people's councils They with their allies in the Ku Klux Klan They did this to multiple black families sending them to Katzenbach's residents saying well I mean, I'm sure that you'll be as accepting of them as you claim to be right So the same thing that happened to these black families in the 60s by the white people's council is the same exact thing that happened With Rhonda Santis and these immigrants and it's not just immoral and unethical But it might actually be illegal as well although that's yet to be seen But thankfully Dylan Fernandez a lawmaker in Massachusetts is calling for a criminal probe saying not only is it morally criminal there are illegal implications around fraud kidnapping deprivation of liberty and Human trafficking and there may actually be a case according to legal experts if the Santis did indeed traffic these immigrants across state lines under false pretenses and the assumption is that oh well They broke the law. So this is their own fault, right? Why are they here in this country? But many of them had already applied for refugee status. So they're trying to actually move here legally and They're just treating them like criminals and most importantly treating them as if they're not actually fully Developed human beings that you know feel the same ambitions pain Suffering happiness and have the same, you know goals for life as as we do and it's just genuinely Disgusting so as we talk about this story in particular I want people to remember the historical parallels to what happened in the 1960s and what Rhonda Santis is doing right now And I get that this story is old news But history oftentimes repeats itself and there's a lot more context to get to so I'll link you to the full story written by Tom Hartman down Below but just so you know overall this is not a new phenomenon It is a cruel tactic that has been used in the past by racists to dehumanize people who they view as inferior to them and This is where we're at still in 2022 you think that things like this are a relic of ancient history that we all collectively look back upon and cringe at but no in 2022 Republican governors are doing this and People are standing behind them laughing at the cruelty rather than wincing at it thinking maybe this isn't the best look maybe we look bad, but perhaps this is backfiring because When you just when you cross that line There are some people who even if they don't necessarily think that immigration Should be a thing that happens. Maybe they'll say oh well I support legal immigration even if in practice they don't but even for them to see the cruelty like this It might be too much for them So there's a potential that this backfires and I hope that it does and most importantly I hope that Ron DeSantis has held legally accountable because human trafficking to make a political point a racist political point It's pretty gross and even for 2022 America. We shouldn't tolerate things like this

everybody. Welcome to the Wallach Way. I'm Jessica. I'm Emily. I'm Kevin. And today's video is going to be a learning on location. We recently had the amazing opportunity to spend two weeks in the Florida Keys, at which time we visit all of the Florida National Parks. And they were pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Yeah, I have to agree. It was a pretty awesome trip. So today we're gonna share with you all about our National Park adventures and make sure you stick till the end because we're gonna tell you where we stayed and some tips for other things you might want to do if you're in the area. Alright Emily, let's start with you. What was your favorite National Park and your favorite thing that we did? My favorite National Park? Probably the Everglades. That was really cool. So what was your favorite thing we did at the Everglades? The airbow. Yeah, the airbow was pretty nice. It was like... Yeah, it went really fast. And it was really cool because it was nesting season. So we saw a lot of moms protecting mom alligators protecting their nest, right? Yeah, we saw like I think maybe three to four nests. Yeah, we saw quite a few. Three, I would say probably more than that, but definitely three to four for sure. And then after our airboat ride, what did we do after that? We took a tram at Shark Valley. Yeah, yeah. And we saw a few outages there and a lot of birds. We did. We saw a lot of really cool birds. And we got to go to the Observation Tower, which when you're at the top of the Observation Tower, you can see so far. So far. And miles and miles and miles of Everglades. Yeah. Which... Well, not miles and miles because there are a lot of miles in the Everglades. Yeah, there are a lot. But you can... As far as the eye can see, it's Everglades, right? Yes. Yeah. And it was it was pretty cool. I have to say, I was surprised. I thought we live in Florida, we've had gators in our front yard. Yeah. I really kind of thought that Everglades would be like the most... I mean, it wasn't my favorite that we've ever done, but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I thought it's gonna be boring. We're just gonna hurry up and check it off the list because we have to do it. But I actually was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Yeah. I mean, it was great. It was really cool. The airboat, the tram. I went all the dragonflies around the tram. Yeah. And you know, and speaking of dragonflies, I was surprised at how much we didn't. Like we took bug spray with us and we didn't even need it because we were moving on the tram and moving on the airboat. I thought it would be like nasty and buggy and it wasn't at all. It was comfortable, temperature wise, even in the middle of June. And I wanted to have to agree with you on that because I think I had apprehension going into the trip just because of the things that I pursued about the Everglades, the wildlife, the bugs, the heat, everything about it. And it turned out to be so much more on the enjoyable side and not near what I had feared that it would be. And like you said, we're from Florida. Yeah. So we expected that it would be kind of boring for us, but it wasn't at all. Like, I had a blast. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Learned a lot. Me too. Me too. All right. So what about you, babe? What was your favorite national park and your favorite thing we did? I might have to say dry tortugas. The favorite thing was twofold. One, we got to fly on a sea plane over to the dry tortugas and then got to snorkel at the dry tortugas. So I don't think you could beat that. I thought that was pretty amazing. It was really amazing. Especially. Oh, go ahead. Sorry. But that was my first plane ride and I was like, look at the clouds and the water. That is amazing. Yeah, it was. We also got to tour the fort, which is the largest break building in the Western Hemisphere, 16 million bricks, which I mean, you think like, I mean, we've seen a lot of forts. And so you think we've seen it, but it was no massive. Like it was massive. And the sea plane, I have to admit, I was ridiculously nervous and apprehensive because I don't do anything that my feet don't get to stay on the ground. I'm not a huge fan of it. But our pilot was amazing.  Like it was, it was amazing. Like he did an amazing job on the flight over. We saw sea turtles and sharks and dolphins and shipwrecks. Oh yeah. Were there like two? I think there were two or three different shipwrecks that we got to see. And you see very clearly when you're, I mean, flying. It was, it was amazing. Oh, he made sure he would bank really hard to the left and right. He would make sure that everybody on the left and the right, and the sea plane only holds 10 people. So it's not a lot of people. Who was the co-pilot over to the dry tortugas? Me. She got to sit co-pilot seat the whole way over to dry tortugas that's taken up, taking off from the international airport and then landing on the water at the dry tortugas and all that. Yeah. She had the best view and got some pretty good pictures. I thought it was amazing. It was, it was really amazing. And I did a ton of research because we, there was two options to get to dry tortugas. You can either take the ferry boat over, which is a two and a half hour ride on the boat over, or you can do the sea plane. And the difference in price was about, well at least when we did it, it was about $100 per person difference. And we really just decided that we would be able to see more in the sea plane because you can't really see from the ferry the same way you can from the sea plane as well as the fact that Emily had never been on a plane before.  And the winning one for me was the ferry takes two and a half hours and the sea plane takes less than 45 minutes. So you get a little bit more time on the island. That being said, we did a half day. I really agree. Wait, I wasn't saying we did a half day. I wish we had done the whole day. And because they drop you off on an island and then they come back and pick you up and there's, there's really no shade unless you're in the fort itself. And you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. So we thought for safety purposes, just in case, you know. Well, in the sensory issues and different things like that, because you got salt water and if you're hot and sticky and salty and there's no real shade. And not really. It can put you over the edge. So we were accounting for all that. It was our first go. We were snorkeling for the first time. There was just so many firsts involved. We opted for the half day. We did so well. I wish we had done the whole day. I would recommend doing the whole day. Yeah. I mean, pack a lunch. Although if you do the sea plane, they give you a cooler with drinks. They also provide you with snorkeling gear. So you don't have to take your own. However, I would say I probably regret that as well. I wish we had taken our own because while they provide you with snorkeling gear and it's good, it's not great. But we rectified that before we ordered snorkeling gear immediately. And then that's going to lead us into, you said, Biscayne Bay, which is my absolute favorite. I was blown away with how much I enjoyed that. I mean, I enjoyed all of them, but Biscayne Bay is 95% underwater. So the best way to enjoy it is to get out on the water. They do multiple different tours. One, they just kind of take you around. They call it their eco-heritage tour. You get to go see the lighthouse and see some of the heritage of Biscayne Bay. And then another is a snorkeling tour. And I was like, we've never snorkeled before. Well, you could do private snorkel or you could do it with a group. Which was up to 20 or 25. Yes. We took the snorkel. The private, because again, sensory, we had never done it. We had no clue what we were doing. And honestly, a drive tour too, because for the most part, when we were snorkeling, we could stand. Like we were snorkeling from the shore. And at Biscayne Bay, you got on a boat. Like we were on the boat for probably 30, 45 minutes. So we were in open ocean, 14 to 18 foot depths. I mean, we had no clue. We'd never done it before. I was nervous. I had no idea how any of us were going to handle it. I was kind of really excited. But when we got in, that was like a whole new world. It felt like we were in a new galaxy. It was definitely cool. It's not like swimming in the pool. No, it's not. And our captain was amazing. Emily asked the captain to swim with us. And she said, well, normally I don't, but if you want me to, I'd love to. So she jumped in with them two left us alone. And the captain and Emily went off and swam and she showed her, oh man, so many things. And what did you spot that she went dove down and got? It was the Christmas tree worms. Yeah.  So we could get pictures of them. It was awesome. Awesome. And then not only that, but I mean, she told us so many different facts while we were out there. I mean, she was very, very, actually all things being said, all of our guides, our airboat guide, our guides at Shark Valley Trams, our sea plane pilot, our captain at Biscay and Bay, they were all super knowledgeable, very helpful. I mean, any questions that you had, they can answer. It was all of the things we did were very educational. There's one thing I have to say about Biscay and Bay though. What? When they say the term hidden gem, that would more so apply to this one in all of my thinking than all the ones that I've researched. I have to tell you, when you're looking at your GPS and you're coming into Biscay and Bay towards Miami, you're in an agricultural and industrial. Almost kind of semi-industrial, yeah. But it's off the beaten path. There's no stores. There's no gas stations. There's nothing. But you can see Miami in the distance. And you can see Miami in the distance. You can see all the agriculture going on like a race. There was a racetrack and the other stuff. There was no one out there. And then suddenly you make a left and then you make a right.  And this is Biscay and Bay. Well, you turn into Biscay and Bay and you start falling it in as a short little ride up to the parking area. In the visitor center. In the visiting center. And it just it blossoms into something totally different because you wouldn't expect it. Yeah, there were the plants when you, as you walk, they had little stakes and signs and it told you what the plants were. It was really, really cool. And then another thing that was really cool is that Biscay and Bay, Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve, all have a joint Junior Ranger booklet. So you get the Junior Ranger booklet from any of those three, which Emily did the Junior Ranger program at all of the national parks that we went to as well as the National Preserve because we did also stop by. We did a scenic drive through the Big Cypress National Preserve because we were right there. So why not? And when you do all three of them, you get the badge for each and then you get a special patch for doing all three. So that's kind of cool. It's kind of an extra incentive to do all of them in that area. And how could you just drive off and not get all three? I mean, they are that close. They are really close. And that's actually one of the reasons that we stayed where we stayed was because of proximity. But we'll get into that in just a minute. First, I want, Emily, will you share with us one thing that you learned from the National Parks when we were there? I learned that like dolphins, frigate birds can put half of their brain asleep. And that's how they can fly or glide for at least up to two months with not without even landing. And I just thought that that was amazing for this giant bird that you think takes a lot of energy, which it does, but finds a way to do it so it can be out to sea for at least two months. And that is just amazing. It is amazing. It is amazing. Don't they have like a six feet wingspan? It's a six to seven foot wingspan. I mean, the captain on the boat compared it to like a modern day pterodactyl. And I would 100% agree like that is what it looks like when you see it in the sky. I mean, it is this huge, beautiful, but also mildly scary looking bird. It's very distinctive, though, between the males and the females too. You could even from the ground or the boat, you could spot way up in the air, like where you would expect a turkey vulture to be circling. There's this frigate bird and the males have a big red chest plume that they use during mating. So you can identify the male immediately. And the white of the female is very pronounced. So you can tell if it's a female. And yeah, they stay on the wing for up to two months out at sea. And yeah, I mean, we saw a ton of them. But actually all of the national parks, we saw them at dry tortugas. Even where we were staying, the same day, everybody. Yeah, we saw them everywhere. It was really, really cool. So what is something that you learned at the national parks? I kind of got my eyes open to the fact that I presumed and expected a whole lot different things than what happened when we got down there. I was expecting alligators, pythons, and I mean, like lots of them. And I was so surprised when I'm talking to the guys and we find out that, like with the Everglades, it was how much? It was like a 1.7 million acres, I believe. Yeah, 1.7. But there's alligator concentration of only 1.6 for their mouths. So you're less than an alligator per acre. And the acres kind of large. So what you see in your head, which is like alligators everywhere you look, is not the reality of what it actually is. And then the pythons, I was expecting to see them everywhere the way they're hyped up and everything. And I did not see one the whole time I was in the keys in any of the parks. I heard about them. They had a record catch on right after we left. Yeah, the day we left. An 18 foot female and she had 122 viable eggs in her. And that was on an actual roundup where they have like a rodeo to go catch them and get them out of the Everglades. So, but yeah, it was eye-opening. I was expecting, you know, one thing and I got there and it was so much more pleasant. It was a lot, it was a lot safer than I guess I was thinking it was going to be. Yeah, we thought it would be like, and all, and like we saw one crocodile. Yes, and the whole time down there, one crocodile. Yeah, we were just driving like, hey, that's a crocodile. Yeah, and that was it. Yeah, yeah, I agree. What about you, babe? So, I think the thing that I learned that kind of surprised me and or maybe I just never even thought to research it was when we were going down to the keys, obviously there was a lot of geographical terms that I brushed up on to be able to research and do with Emily, right? Peninsula, Archipelago, a toll, an island.  Yeah, it sounded better. But when we were at Biscayne Bay, the captain distinctly asked like, do you know what the difference is between an island and a key? And I was like, no, because I assumed they were the same things. And so it was kind of cool to learn that an island is geologically made. And then a key is biologically made. Yeah, so a key is biologically made. So that is literally the only difference between the two is how they're actually formed. And so I thought that was kind of cool to know the difference in what they were. So we did an Airbnb on Isla Morada because Isla Morada was the most central from Key West also to Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. It was kind of about the furthest we drove was about an hour and 45 minutes. So that is our suggestion. If you're going to do all of the national parks and you're looking for kind of a family friendly, you know, island to stay on that's, I would, I'm not going to say it's cheap, but more reasonably priced than the others. Well, nothing else is more family friendly. Yeah, it was definitely family friendly, and it was more affordable than some of the others. And it gave us the perfect location for everything. For fuel, for places to eat, and also grocery stores. Because the further south you go, the more expensive things get. Or the less available they are. Some of the keys are kind of small. And then some of the things that we did that weren't national parks that if you're in the area and you're looking for other things to add on were the theater of the sea, which was really cool. What was your favorite because I know you're already dying? Turtle hospital. The turtle hospital on Marathon Island, which really was pretty awesome. That was like this little baby turtle that was in its tank and it was like hello. Hey, they even had a Jessica turtle. They did have a Jessica turtle, which was really cool. And then what about you? What was one of your favorite things? Diving museum, the history of diving museum. Yeah, hands down. That was amazing. They had a this private owner, husband and wife, got enthused in diving and diving bells and the diving helmets and suits and weight belts and stuff. They had the world's largest collection. Like you go back in time and then they have the helmets from around the world section. I mean there were so many cool things and it went perfect with the ocean unit study that we were doing to have this huge history of diving. It was amazing. Yes. And then I think another thing that was pretty cool that you kind of have to do if you're going to go to the keys is just go down to Key West and play tourist for a day or two. We did the historic trolley ride, which was cool because you got to see kind of everything and learn more about the keys in general. So we also did one of the state parks, which I mean there's tons of state parks around there. There really are. And the two that we really wanted to do were John Pincamp, Coral Reef State Park and the Baja Honda. We did the last bottom boat tour at John Pincamp, which was really, really fun. We all enjoyed that. We happened to be there on World Ocean Day, so there was a lot of extra things going on too, which was really cool. Baja Honda has an absolutely gorgeous beach. So does Fort Zachary, which we had already done the Dry Tortuga. So we kind of like looked at it, but we didn't explore that as much as we would have liked. There's a fort, which is on Key West all the way down to Fort Zachary is another state park that would be worth checking out. And again, they have gorgeous beaches, both Baja Honda and Fort Zachary have gorgeous beaches because they're private beaches because it's technically a state park. So there's a charge to actually get in. But that would probably be my top list of things to do if you're- But there is one thing- Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. At the trolley place when we put into place tourists. If you love ocean animals, you should go check out the- There's an aquarium. Oh yes, the cute- We did. We did the Key West aquarium anyway. Yeah, you had to see it. What kind of turtle was it that they were feeding? It was a hawksbill. And that is my favorite type because they're called hawksbills because they have a bill like a hawk and that really sharp bill helps them crunch into coral which has a special micro- Organisms. Yeah, that it eats. Yeah, I totally forgot we did the aquarium. Thank you for reminding me. You're welcome. Of course you would remember that. So those are our recommendations if you're in the Keys. Definitely hit all the national parks. And then those are some extra places that you might also want to check out while you're there. Okay, so would you recommend it? Do you recommend that everybody goes to Everglades, Biscayne Bay, and Dry Tortue because they get the chance? 100 stars!


Hi there. Today on Typical Books I've got a little tiny haul and a couple of books that are coming out for December. So before I get to the new releases that are Horridors Association books, there's only three of them right now because it's so early in the month. I ended up picking up a couple books and I just thought that the price was the real news here. The Wastelands by Stephen King featuring Charlie the Choo Choo, quite famously, is that paperback that I had originally read as a kid. I'm missing part two now because I haven't read the Dark Tower series in a very long time. So I thought I'd pick up the Gunslinger and that's the drawing of the three is going to be coming up next. And I'll pick up as many of the books as I can find used. This was $1.99 and it's in a really, really good condition. It looks like it's only been read once, if ever at all. The other one, Dan Wells, I am not a serial killer. Excellent film, excellent price. It was 99 cents. It's in a really good condition and oddly, I'd found this in the craft section of a thrift store. So I'd looked through the books and I picked up some wonderful finds and then I found this. Incidentally, what I'd found is great expectations and Oliver Twist and these wonderful little hard covers. They were $2.99 a piece. Not horror, so I'm not going to dwell on them, but they are on my Instagram. So I'm not a serial killer. This I wanted to almost lump into my nonfiction November reading, but it's going to come in December somewhere among the Stephen Graham Jones book and some other books that I'm planning on reading that have a winterier theme. So there are only three new releases to be listed right now. There's a few more that are more closer to the end of the month that I don't want to talk about yet because they're only in pre-order or they're going to be in pre-order. They may be in pre-order for a while and I'm hoping that I'll do another video or two. So at least I'll do a late December wrap up as far as the new releases and maybe mid-December depending on how many come in. It is that quiet time. It's heading into that January slump that people are used to in film. It happens in books too. There are a lot of stocking stuffers on your shelves right now. We know this. We're doing Christmas shopping, I suppose already. So those are already on the shelves. Right now it is sort of a reset time for publishing as far as I've gathered. I'm no publishing professional but it seems to me that there is a break and it's a break while people are doing things like National Novel Writing Month that just wrapped up. So congratulations to a lot of people that finished and I've been following a lot of our fellow writers and readers here on YouTube that do post their NaNoWriMo progress. So wow, congratulations everyone who participated in that, whether you achieved it or not. You know, I think it's just noble to have taken up that race. So without further ado, here are a few books that are out. Some are out already. Collective Darkness, A Horror Anthology. And this is edited by Elizabeth Suggs, Brandon Prouse and Jonathan Reddick. And it features the stories by them and others. So this comes from Collective Tales Publishing and editing me. As a child, did you hide under your blankets when you were scared? After reading some of the scariest stories from new and up and coming authors, we won't blame you if you start hiding again. Take a journey with us into the twisted mind of horror. Collective Darkness isn't for the faint of heart. Read if you dare. I like the cover of this. I like the font of this. It looks a lot like a font that I always like, a Lil Lita scorned. I'm not sure what font they use and I don't know why I'm so hung up on fonts. But I think it's a cool looking cover and it's refreshing because so many of our horror covers do have black spines and red writing and things like that. This is kind of refreshing. The Devil's Do. Nothing is ever as it seems volume one. Edited by Adam Messer about how the books, this has various authors and a lot of horror writers, association authors in particular. Because I'm one thing you will notice that a lot of these collections feature authors that are not under the umbrella of the HWA. And that's perfectly fine. There's going to be an editor or something, a publicist that is a member that can promote these books where I get them from on the list that they send to the new releases page. So this is from Valhalla Books and it is out now. Nothing is ever as it seems. It'll be gotten wealth, fame, and glory come at a high price. Featuring award-winning authors and HWA members, The Devil's Do offers enthralling horror stories of underhanded deals gone awry. I like the cover of that one too. Devilish, don't you think? And this one will be of interest to the Stephen King fans in the crowd, Excavating Stephen King. A Darwinist Hermonastic Study of the Fiction by James Arthur Anderson. This comes from Lexington and Roman and Littlefield and it is out in a week. I'm sure that it can be under pre-order. A lot of things that are coming up are in pre-order right now. Now this combines approaches from science and literary theory to examine the canon of Stephen King's fiction work in a single critical study. He has devised a concept of Darwinist Hermonastics, and I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly, as a critical tool to combine evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, biology, and literary Darwinism with other more conventional critical theory, including structuralism, narratology, semiotics, and linguistic analysis. I'm very interested in the semiotics as far as Stephen King goes, because he does rely on so many archetypal tropes and imprints burned into our collective history, I believe. And that is where he gets his fears and scary remnants. Going beyond what scared you as a child, he can drill down to how the shape of eyes reflected in things that he's describing in the landscapes terrify you and you can't put your finger on why. And I'm very interested to know what the take is on a semiotician about how much he knew going into this or how much of this is organic, just him writing as a human on Earth. Using this theory, Anderson examines King's works in terms of archetypes and mythology, human universals, effective emotions, and the organization of story to create maximum suspense. You could make the argument that his books are so long there is no room for suspense anymore.  This method brings new insights into King's stories and broader implications for storytelling as a whole. Now, that was a very long summary. That length of summary isn't normally what ends up in the newsletter, but I thought it would serve well here because many of us are Stephen King fans. And it would do it to serve us to just summarize this men's work so briefly, right? Because it does warrant a little more explanation as to why somebody would take a Darwinist approach to Stephen King's fiction, but there you have it. Those are books coming up for the beginning of December. Most of them are already out, except one that's coming out in a week. Hopefully I'll have another video like this coming up soon as we traverse the slump of the beginning of winter or beaches, depending on where you're from. So thank you very much for watching. If you're going to pick up any of these reads, or if you already own some of the books that I mentioned, let me know in the comments. And have a nooky, spooky day.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering AWS re-invent 2018.  Well, welcome back here as we continue our coverage at AB2S re-invent, along with Justin Warren. I'm John Walls, we are live in Las Vegas in the sand. Stay one of our coverage here, three days with you all week. We're with John Masters now as the chief architect at Red Hat and John, good to see you this afternoon. Thank you, nice to be here. All right, first off, give me your impression of what you've seen so far on the show floor. What's the feeling you've got as you come in this week? Well, it's been absolutely fabulous for me. It's my first time at re-invent, so I've not had chance to witness firsthand the growth over the past few years, but I've heard stories that were up to 75,000 people, some very high number this year, and the growth is absolutely amazing. Very, very passionate people. It's very clear that the story of containerization and microservices is foremost this year, and yeah, it's just a fabulous experience to be here. Great, now yesterday there was that announcement from AWS about A1 instance. Tell me a little bit about how that comes to play in a Red Hat and is just your take on the release. Yeah, so Amazon did announce yesterday the new A1 instance type, and it's based on the ARM architecture. I think the interesting thing for me is that it's based on a processor that they themselves built called the Graviton, and this is really the culmination of what we've seen in the industry the past few years. As the cloud vendors get bigger and have greater resources and greater capabilities, what they can do is they can take that self-determination aspect and they can say, you know what, we're now big enough and we now understand and we're sophisticated enough that we can say we would like to deliver this to our customers and we don't have to wait for someone to build it for us, we can just go and do it. And so what they did is they licensed an ARM design from ARM Holdings, the actual core inside the processor, and then they built the chip themselves and contracted it out to a foundry, manufactured and deployed these and then they can snap their fingers and deploy these and surprise, now we have ARM-based instances, so it's been very interesting. So I'm curious, because we keep getting told that software is eating the world, and yet here we are building hardware and customized hardware. So what is it about the ARM architecture in particular, but also the fact that you can build custom silicon? What is it that Amazon, or indeed any other cloud vendor, what benefit do they get from manufacturing their own silicon here? That's a very good question. Well, I think there's multiple aspects to it. At the end of the day, people tell me that the future is serverless and I remind them that they're still servers somewhere, right? So we still need to have computers. Of course, we're going to have a smaller number of very big vendors on which we rely. I mean, we're seeing that with the adoption of public cloud. And as these vendors get bigger, they have that scale that they can invest. What for them is a modest amount of money. For anybody else, it'd be a fortune, but a modest amount and they can go and build a design. And now with the traditional microprocessor design, you take a team of four people and you would spend many hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe $300 million over four years to build a high-performance processor. What you can do with ARM is work with ARM Holdings, which is now part of SoftBank, to license kind of cookie cutter pre-made pieces. So you can license a processor core and you can stamp it out and say, well, I'll have 16 of those in my chip. And so you don't have to do the heavy lifting to design many of the building blocks, but you can integrate them together. So you get a lot of cost efficiency there. You don't have to go and do all that design, but you can integrate building blocks. And the key piece there, I think, is the ability to choose how you want to integrate that and what you want to build. And then what we're seeing in the industry is that computers becoming boring. I mean, everyone needs compute, but what are we talking about? We're talking about machine learning and GPUs and tensors and all kinds of other accelerators, right? So the interesting thing for me is once you've made the compute kind of so commodity that you can just license it from somebody and stamp out your own design, what opportunity does that bring later to maybe integrate various accelerators and other hardware goodies? I don't know what Amazon planned to do, but if I had a crystal ball, I would say, this is probably not the end. This is kind of the beginning of a journey. And now they will have the ability to integrate some very interesting and novel hardware advances of their own as well. Okay, because that does sort of lead into what my next question was going to be, which is for a customer of Amazon, as like, well, I don't know anything about the internals of chip design. Why would I want to choose the A1 instance type over one of the other existing instance types? What's in it for me? Yeah, a very good question. I think when Amazon announced it last night, the top line that the media picked up on first was the price benefit there, which was advertised as being 40% lower for certain workloads. Now, the design that they've chosen today is not about having that top shelf performance, that top line performance. If you want that level of performance, clearly you're going to use one of the existing instance types. But if you want to have something that is more cost effective for at scale deployments, maybe where you're not using all the compute resources that you need, you're more memory bound or you're doing web app serving, this kind of thing. In that case, you don't really need that level of compute. You still need the instances. And so this brings your cost down when you're doing that at scale kind of deployment. And that seems to be where they're targeting and in addition, they're targeting I think developers and those that want to invest in the ARM ecosystem because clearly this is the beginning of a journey. I don't know exactly where they'll go next, but one could imagine that it will continue from here.  I am. But you don't actually work for ARM, you work for Red Hat. That's right. So what's the Red Hat angle here? Well, so I'll tell you a story. Okay. I like stories. Me too. So back at the end of- I like stories too, John. Go ahead. Well, I'll spare you the long form. At the end of 2010, I was in one of my execs offices and I've been with Red Hat since 2006. And I had done a couple of things before that that kind of were very useful for the company, but kind of dull. So they said, all right, you choose something exciting to work on next, right?  And I told one of my execs, this will be a server one day. And I walked through Moore's Law and the pace of innovation and fast forwarded and say, if these things were to happen, this technology would be in a server. And now why is that relevant to Red Hat? Well, if you look at it from Red Hat's point of view, we don't pick winners and losers. What we do is we work with customers and what they want to adopt. But we also need to be able to respond to our customer's needs. So kind of the concern was, this arm thing looks like it could be interesting in a few years time. What if it is? And if it is interesting, and it's kind of a zoo, as I used to call it, a free-for-all, it's kind of an embedded mess, that works fine, well, fine in quotes, if you're building cell phone widgets and so on, because it's kind of a different ecosystem there. But if you want to have a mainstream server play, we had to have a few of us in the industry come in and say, all right, this looks interesting, but let's make sure that the level of standardization is there so that if this does take off, standard operating systems and standard software can run on it. That's why we cared was just in case it takes off. And then fans like me, of course, want to kind of promote it as well. But I think that's why Red Hat cared. Okay, and this is kind of off topic, but I'm just curious, because you talked about the acceleration of change. You've talked about innovation. You've talked about new wrinkles. Is it, and Moore's law, I mean, is it possible? Or do you see that the acceleration of change is so rapid that we're almost outpacing ourselves in a way in that change is happening so dramatically and so quickly that to make a decision on a particular solution or service is difficult because you're afraid of missing the next flavor in eight months or nine months instead of three or five years. That's right. And I think there's another piece there where the cloud makes even more sense, doesn't it? Because if you are a customer or an end user and you're deploying an app, you could say, well, you know, this arm thing could be interesting, I don't know. I don't want to go and build out physical infrastructure and go and pay that tax to go and figure this out. What I want to do is I just want to try it out right now. And the fabulous thing that Amazon did yesterday that no one had done, you know, there've been some efforts out there to provide arm to the mainstream, right? But Amazon put a giant rubber stamp on it and said, this is good enough for us and it works. Now, anyone who's used to a workflow in EC2, they can just use exactly the same flow to spin up one of these instances and try it out. It's a, you know, 30-second thing. Just try it out, see what you think. If you like it, great. If you don't, then don't use it. And because you are able to just consume it according to whatever you want, you don't have that commitment either, yeah. So a test drive? You can test drive it. If it works well, you can adopt it. There's no obligation. And that's, I think, key to exploring new technologies as well. Yeah, it does require you to have that software layer on top of it that runs. We were talking before that Red Hat has invested a lot to actually get the Red Hat software suite to run on ARM. That's right. So I'm sure that with this announcement, there's going to be a whole lot of other people suddenly discovering how to compile to the ARM architecture, which will be, that'll be fun. That's right. We've invested for the last eight years in this. And what we have now is a strategy we call our multi-architecture strategy. So again, we don't pick winners and losers. We have all these different architectures that we support. Obviously, X86, also Power and Mainframe and now ARM. And all of these architectures are treated equally going forward. So in REL8, which we just announced the beta of REL8, you'll see all these architectures treated just the same. And so the rule for our developers is, whenever they make a change, it has to run on all the architectures equally. Democratize it and then make it so that it is standard across the board. That's right. Makes sense. John, thanks for the time. Good to see you here at ReInvent and we wish you all the success down the road. Thank you very much. You bet. John Masters joining us from Red Hat. Back with more. We are here at AWS ReInvent. We're live in Las Vegas. And Justin and I'll be back in just a moment.


Can I draw King Kong? Can I draw King Kong? Can I draw King Kong? Now usually the answer is that I can't draw copyrighted characters because I release all my art for free use. And King Kong is something that theoretically should be copyrighted. Indeed, Universal Pictures claim they own the copyright. But behind it all is an almost century old court drama of movie rights and novelizations and Broadway musicals and even Nintendo's famous Donkey Kong. There's too many details for a one minute TikTok, but the conclusion seems pretty clear. I can draw King Kong and release him for free use thanks to badly written contracts from the 1930s.


Statistics and Excel. Coin flip statistics example. Got data? Let's get stuck into it with statistics and Excel or one note in this case, but we'll talk about Excel too. You're not required to, but if you have access to one note, we're in the icon left hand side, one note presentation, 1315 coin flip statistics example in Excel tab. We're also uploading transcripts to one note so you could use the immersive reader tool, possibly change the language if you so choose and then either read the transcript or listen to the transcript and multiple different languages tying it out to the video presentations using the timestamps. One note desktop version here, data on the left hand side, remembering the two major categories of statistical problems, one being where we have all the data all the information for the entire population and are applying our statistical tools to organize that information so we can get meaning from it and two a situation where we don't have all the data all the information for the entire population and are often reliant on samples of that data and then we apply similar statistical tools not so much so that we can fully understand the example the sample itself, but so that we can infer the results of that sample to the entire population. Now here we're thinking more of the second of those buckets where we don't know the entire population. However, oftentimes it's useful to think about situations where we do know the entire population and we can get basically the answers and then we can also take a sample from that population and use our sampling techniques to see if when we infer the results of the sample to the entire population they are applicable and so in a prior presentation we did that with heights. We had an entire population of heights. We took samples of those heights to see how representative these samples were to the entire population. Now we'll do a similar kind of thing with coin flips which is a little bit easier sometimes because you have like the 50-50 the two results on the coin flips as opposed to the heights data where you have the range of the heights but also it's a little bit more mathematical and theoretical because when we think about coin flips the entire population you can think of as a conceptual type of thing which would be an infinite amount of flips. So in other words when we're thinking about coin flips if we had a coin and we kind of assumed that if it was a fair coin that would be our general assumption the fair coin would mean that anytime I flip it you're going to get an even chance of it coming up heads or tails. So that's going to be like the null hypothesis and then how would we test whether or not that is indeed the case. Well we would have to flip it a bunch of times and then test whether or not what we think would be happening is indeed what is happening and if we come up with evidence that that is not the case something else is happening then the question is what kind of statistical evidence would we need to override the general null assumption that it would be 50-50. Now when we think about this from a statistical sampling concept you would think about well what's the entire population here that we're thinking about well it's a conceptual idea that if you flipped the coin an infinite amount of times then you would come out to 50-50 but obviously in the real world you will never be able to flip the coin an infinite amount of times. So any amount of times that you flip the coin in theory you can think of as a similar kind of concept as when we took a sample of the entire population of heights. So any amount of flips is going to be some finite example of the amount of flips of the conceptual concept of flipping it an infinite amount of times and if it was a completely fair coin we know the outcome of an infinite number of times just conceptually would be 50-50 if it was a fair coin. So that's kind of the idea. So then two things like like always we would like to do here we would like to say we want to know this conceptually for statistical and we also want to think about how we can we test this out in Excel so we'll give an idea of how we can use Excel tools to kind of test this out. Now obviously if you were to generate this in Excel you can use something like the random generator again last time we used a random generator to just give us a random decimal number of multiple decimals out. This time however we're going to use the random between so if I want to simulate a coin flip I can basically say look what I want to do is I'm just going to assign a one to heads two to tails and now that I have a numerical assignment to my outcomes I can use a random generator random between the bottom being one the top being two and then Excel will give us this random generation which basically simulates anything that's random between two numbers right so now we've got our random generator that we can play with and simulate something of this nature. So now as I look at my random generation I can use this formula and I can copy it down to as many cells that I want. Now however many cells I copy it down to if I copy it down to a hundred cells that would be like simulating a hundred flips of the coin and a hundred flips of the coin is kind of like from a sampling idea or concept a hundred flips out of an infinite amount of flips a sample of a hundred out of a sample out of the actual population which is a conceptual idea of infinity right so then so then if we if we take a look at our I can then basically organize my data so once I have my random coin flips I can then I can then say this random generator is going to keep on generating random results so I'm going to copy this random generated field and paste it static so now it's pasted without the actual formula but just as hard-coded ones and twos I can also use excel if I want to then give me the results in terms of words I can use a formula in excel to say if there's a one tell me it's a heads right so we'll do that in excel if you want to if you want to see those formulas to do that but but conceptually I can just say well one is a head and two is a tails I sorted it by heads and then tails here so we can sort them heads on top tails on the bottom I can get an idea from doing that just saying it looks kind of close to 50 50 maybe right but I can't really tell just
