Hello, what's up? We are on Twitch. We are Not live, but you can leave a like comment subscribe turning your post notification bells Now let's continue to go to family in Chicago to the UK and all around the world apparently because this one's from Sydney, Australia We ain't even got to it yet, man But if we do go live if you happen to miss any of the highlights will be on this page Don't forget. We do got the Patreon as well get a double upload today and We do got the discord to where you could drop your request Yeah, but this is the taboo room Man, they've been dropping some heat. I ain't even alive salute to the taboo room man When we're in a world full of nothing you gave us something to react to I Appreciate it, man. I don't know what's going on, but this dude is from Sydney, Australia his name is Join his his first name is joined He was already destined to join a gang Gangs prison and murder inside the world of a life of a career criminal Okay, and I'm the practice. So I thought I'll tell you since primary school go back No, but Sydney city Hitch Yeah And I'm always had a nice fascination Spaniard is the infamous career criminal from Australia has a long history of illegal activities his elusive and cunning nature has earned him a Notorious reputation in the country's criminal underworld with multiple arrest and convictions to his name Spaniard's criminal career has left a trail of victims and Continues to be subject of interest and intrigue in Australia everywhere I want went in Australia. I was asked if I could capture experience Okay knives and I was well versed in the practice of knives since primary school um, I Was well versed in the practice of practice of knives is crazy statement So I thought I'll take this as an opportunity to go back to the school and do a siege So the very first time I got arrested was actually a fun one I went back to my high school and I took a kitchen knife and I held the school siege and I made national news was in the national newspaper I was raised here in Sydney city the inner city areas housing areas most all the flats housing commission houses My childhood was At a young age Was good at a good childhood Um your education My education Let's put it this way Most of the schoolwork I done was in boys homes juvenile detention to put in a perspective the level of my education Although I'm an exceptionally intelligent person considering my circumstances, but yeah Most of school I done was in boys homes in jail. Yeah It was fun Why did that happen? Why would you in boys homes in jails? Oh? Wow Depends on how Jordan Peterson you want me to get with this right now but um at the end of the day like I'm from the inner city area of Sydney and Crime and drug addiction is all part of the culture here or very much was members of my family were famous criminals and Good thiefs stuff like that drugs in my family. So it was inevitable for me to follow that path So as early as I could you know the age when you're out and about and you're allowed to hit the streets And everyone gets their character. You know some kids become skateboarders and 11 9 10 11 Okay, that's Chicago. Maybe like 11 12 13 It's probably nine realistic Some kids become footy players and some kids become career criminals and that's that's what I chose so I ended up in boys homes and Yeah Pretty much raised in boys homes. Yeah, but what was the first thing you've ever arrested for was the first crime you committed The first crime I committed the first thing I was arrested for two very different things But we'll talk about facts because the first time you got arrested was the first time you got caught for committing crime The first thing I was arrested for um, it was while I was still going Salvia says the first thing I was arrested for so I hadn't been a boys homes yet I'm still going to high school. I think I was in year eight 14 years old and I was um Stealing stealing mobile phones. You know mobile phones come we're talking the year 2000 here So when mobile phones just come out or the Nokia's you know playing snake so I used to go around stealing kids when all you had to do was just Sell a phone like now you can't even take a phone and do nothing with it. It's you take somebody home It's it's pointless. It's a paper way back then you could do something It's phones and whatever and apparently some Someone gave me up for stealing their mobile phone So I got suspended from school and I'm always had a nice fascination with knives And I was well versed in the practice of knives since primary school Um So I thought I'll take this as an opportunity to go back to the school and do a siege So the very first time I got arrested was actually a fun. Oh a siege Okay, I went back to my high school and I took a kitchen knife and I held the school siege and I made national news. I was in the national news paper Tell me about that story from the start you want to hear that story in depth Of course spent Spanion Why would we not want to hear that? so Like I said, the the first part's already been said someone gave me up I got suspended don't come back to school the next day. I went to the school, right got a kitchen knife and I thought I'll blend in what what my plan was was to find go door-to-door classroom to classroom with my kitchen knife and Sort of intimidate someone into admitting that they gave me up I wanted to know who gave me up. So, you know, I can do I don't know what I was gonna do to be honest Like I'll be straight out with you.  I'm not you know I'm not Charles Manson, but you know like I Want I just wanted to make a statement, you know, and I was at that age 14 years old, you know And then so I went there Class went man, I'm not even gonna lie what the way the world is now you could never do this You can never do this and walk out. I don't know like And I I went with my class like I wasn't suspended right and I presumed that I'd be able to blend in for a bit before they clicked on but anyway class went in and My very first class I walked in the door teacher turned straight to me and said my real name's Anthony, right? He's all know me as well. He's they know me. He's a learning me a Spaniard But yeah, my real name's Anthony.  I'm already busted. I think we one second So I pulled my knife out and I let it commence from there.  Oh, and it's some frets.  So I went I thought in my head I'll go door-to-door and do this, you know like along the classrooms along the hallway So I went to the next classroom burst. How big was the school like what did you have like a three a three-room class?  I made it to about the fourth class fifth class Mind you at the third this is I was improvising right? I was doing psycho improvising So when we got to the when I got to the third door the doors were unlocked like I could just open them But for dramatic effect. I was bootin. I was booting it open you know, so it's like a movie scene and I was booting that door would fly and everywhere and I'll kill you is all this and that But when I got to the fifth classroom there was a little bit of a struggle and Principle or whoever it was must have got word so they put a alarm over the system whatever like evacuation core And I just remember hearing on the on the radio like everyone to their so basically you was one of the first school Basically You was one of the first school threats Assembly area blah blah blah. I do this was like 23 years ago. So forgive me if I don't know every single word So everyone started running all the classrooms are clearing And I thought well this is getting a bit further than I thought so I thought I'll try to blend in You know, I was gonna leave it Okay, and I'm a pull my knife away and I had my school uniform on so I thought I'll try to blend in with everyone So I joined the evacuation and I'm evacuated And I remember kids saying like what's going on like is this a drill and I was answering them I was going Yeah, I don't know might be a fire or something. Yeah Anyway, so we got down the stairs and when we got to the assembly area in between all of the big buildings There was like 300 students there run and I come down the stairs trying to blend in and the print Advice principle whoever had the megaphone.  So it was it was the funniest scene But I was like brave.  I pulled out the knife again, and I'm like That's it.  All right This is where it started to get out of control. So I didn't plan for this The whole class know the whole school scatters and they're hitting the streets Like I'm talking kids are running in the streets like teachers are getting the kids like just leave the school premises So I'm chasing them and just like I don't want to stab anyone. Yeah, I mean it's it's not that serious So I'm just trying to scare people like it's not that serious.  It's up. It's serious for everybody else Swinging in their face, and if I'm catching them while they're running I'm kicking them in the back and stuff and I got to the main road and And all the students had ran this way the majority of them They'd run to the main road and I ran out and I was just gonna chase them down the streets and that and I noticed that the teachers Were at every residence doors like down the street and they were like bangin Like I'm like it's more serious than I thought you know and they were banging and they say let us in let us in There's like a murderer and so like there's residents opening their doors and like piling Packs of 30 kids in each house and then at that point. I thought look this is gone too far I better just like hook it. You know I was gonna step so I ran down the back of the oval on my way there.   Even though I got a knife. There's like that many grown men with shovel So I got smashed with a shovel held on the floor News came There was like these news channel 7 news channel 10 news and then all police and that was my first ever arrest brother. Yeah It was very dramatic. I mean a listen At that point, where do you go from there? You already have to That's the that's one of the okay, I'm a word. There's funny, okay That's one of the craziest first arrest story. I ever heard of my life. You know Yeah, I got arrested for shoplifting that first and then from there it was just an ascending. No, you started here You started at the top of the arrest chain It your rest don't get no.  So I can I can You probably are reformed. You're a better person, but I can clock it the way you telling this story is too much passion and You like reliving it you happy At that point they're giving me some order of counseling in the community So I got out after four weeks and that was my first ever experience brother And then what was next man? What was next huh? So after that, I think more I was just getting arrested So we're talking 14 from if you're talking my juvenile times 14 to 18 I spent most of that inside I think one time in my boredom inside a cell I'd calculated the amount of time I stayed out and this and that thing Do my juvenile period I was out for about eight months over that four-year period It was I can't tell you exactly each time what it was because there was multiple You know, I mean I was in and out three months in one week out six months in two days out stuff like that But um at that point in in time we were doing ram raids We're stealing shipboxes with screwdrivers smashing them through shops smashing them through offices loading it up with computers and Stuff like that during my juvenile period got done for a lot of arm. Yeah, rare raids breaking in is Yeah stuff like that what I feel like growing up in a in a city like Like the only normal thing that I heard was breaking and entering What was the juvenile centers like in this country because in London or the UK So that they considered be I guess even worse than the prisons just to everyone's point to prove at that age Hmm is it same hair or Yeah, I that's that's the first person that's ever really asked it that way after all of these podcasts that I've done That's a good question. I'll tell you what I find about juvenile compared to the adult system in Australia It's it's a lot more aggressive on a lower level So there's a lot more lower-end aggression in in juvenile Everyone's want everyone to fight over anything because the consequences in juvie are very small So you have a fight you go to yourself for the night, right?  I'm just curious. What do you record things that taboo because I can hear people in the back You need to tell them hey listen quiet on set He in Australia means like I also got these Super sensitive studio headphones they can hear anything. So maybe not to them. Maybe if I had these on I wouldn't be able to hear How would you like?  You got no food. You got no TV. So people hold back on the fights a lot So there's way less fights, but when there is fights, they're a lot more serious so you got a contemplate that like If I'm gonna go if I'm gonna I'm gonna smash I'm gonna go to say great for how long I'm gonna getting good So in juvie people aren't getting stabbed people are getting this and that everyone's just yes It's like yeah, box. It's like sparring him there. Yeah, I don't mean spider training And then what was next in Spain so after doing four years in the juvenile system? Yeah, I've done about three and a half of those four years in the juvenile system and then I'm graduated to prison So when I was about 1617 I become a heroin addict. I'm starting injecting her 1617 You went from that to that. I'm glad you changed. I can already know you changed your life around because Rowan, which was all part of our culture around here in Sydney City heroin addiction thieving stuff like that and And so my crimes had changed accordingly, so I was doing a lot more junky type crimes low level crimes Become a heroin addict Funny this is this is funny is this may sound When you're growing up around these inner-city flats around here heroin was You know how you hear People say oh when we went to school your smoke all the cool kids smoke cigarettes and you sneak down and you smoke your Cigarettes behind your canteen and blah blah blah all those yarns That was heroin to us in where I grew up in the in the decade that I was a kid around So you telling me when you grew up as a kid in high school All the cool kids was doing dog. They was doing H Hey, yeah, we bout to ditch school and go do some H I'm in it's crazy. He are early 2000s It's like if you weren't on the heroin you weren't one of the boys as funny as that I don't want to be one of the boys. That does not sound funny man, Anthony That's not crazy to me coming from Chicago because that is like total opposite Pounds, but that's that's the truth all the other all the older boys that we looked up to The bank robbers the ram raters the searchers. They were all heroin addicts our peas were heroin addicts It was like becoming one of the boys It was almost to the extent that when we were all heroin addicts We looked at people that weren't on the heroin as grunks. It's like you're not even one of the boys Like you're not even on the gear. You're not even us and then you're not even shooting up, you know I saw that sounds ridiculous, and I know that's not the case for a lot of the world But here it was so that sounds absolutely insane to me Well, so you're not even one of the guys you're not you're not putting that better built around your arm Wrapping it with your teeth putting tension on it slapping your vein like you don't one of the guys. That's that's how that just sounded to me And there is no tragic circumstances in which I become a heroin addict I'm not trying to hide any pain or anything like that.  I can't wait to be a heroin addict. Yeah, bro. Where's the heroin that's showing one of the boys now? Let's oh, Gianna, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's it was just all part of the culture here Hmm and Lucky for me and barely any of the boys that I grew up with in these circumstances. I This is like the second dude from Australia that is just like outrageously wild like mark chopper read and then this dude is like Yeah What's really going on here? I end up getting off on when I was 21 in prison Um But a lot of the most and most all of the boys haven't and their lives have suffered accordingly Their life is in jail 15 20% of them are dead Yeah, how did you get off the heroin was it? I know he said he was in jail Mm-hmm How did I get off off? the heroin one day by like in the midst of my Junkiness whatever you want to call it. I'm down at a prison out in the country doing an 18-month sentence whatever far from home jumped off my head and And to that extent I never had a perspective of me being a junkie in my head I was spanish from Sydney city the mad money maker The good-looking can't you know what I mean like I was fresh. I was violent I was the man in my head right because being a heroin addict was so normal that it didn't come into it didn't come into play One day, but I don't ask me what right one day. I walked in myself. It was locked in It was like 10 11 o'clock at night by myself in a cell little shaving mirror that we got in our cell Looked in at a million times brother.  I walked in it in that one split second This is why I say I don't know if it was a psychosis or divine intervention.  I seen I saw I looked and I was like I'm not gonna argue with you That's what you seen and that's what it was. I'm glad you've seen it early.  I was embarrassed of what I had become Even my perspective of the boys in the wing with me so in the wing when we get released I thought yeah, I'm in the prison wing. You know where all this and that I thought everyone was mad there. I thought prison was the collection of all the sick in Sydney You know what I mean? If you're in prison, you're a mad And I walked out even the next day skipping forward to the next day I walked out and every lad that I looked at my mates the randoms I just looked at as a pack of future junkies like I don't know what happened to me in that hour But it changed my whole perspective. I'm not saying it changed my perspective of crime If anything had led to me being a better criminal, but it changed my perspective on myself and that night Listen here carefully. I was addicted to buprenorphine, which is the substitute for heroin addiction So like methadone the tablet version heroin Injecting injecting since I was a teenager, right? And that's the hardest thing to beat needles People think the certain drug is the hardest thing to overcome But the feeling of putting that still in your arm and injecting it and whatever substance it may be hitting you instantly Is a very addictive thing. In fact, I might say it's more addictive than a substance themselves. I gave that up cigarettes The science of it all makes sense of what he said the instant gratification over the weight See what he's talking about.  I said to myself in that two hours are looking in the mirror I said to myself. I promised myself that I'm gonna be the better criminal. I'm gonna be fit I'm gonna be sexy.  Yeah, I'd steal your laptop. I'd break it doing ran raid and few And I give all the money away to drug dealers. I was a bum and I promise to never be a bum again.  We had syringes I had syringes hidden in the kettle drugs in my mattress whatever I had I gave I said to the boys I got take everything out of myself. They got excited. They thought it was Christmas that I flew in rip myself to shreds And they thought I was spinning out and I might have been spinning out And they looked at me like even a couple of them that actually had careful me said like bro Don't give all your stuff away, bro. Like are you spinning out?  I said mother take it.  You're hard-core enough to quit cold turkey then if that's what you're gonna do Day that was in September 2007 I was 21 years old and I have been off drugs cigarettes no alcohol. No nothing now for Since 2007. What's that 15? And I was 16 years 16 years bother. I Hung out like obviously I withdrew hanging out. We call it. I withdrew very strongly For a week and a half. No sleeping couldn't stand up and I loved every moment of it I loved every moment of it people people and people ask me nowadays because I had this goal I'm gonna be the jug dealer. I'm gonna be the one taking your money Ain't no cap.     I'm not letting that happen to me I'm gonna be the goat of the hood. Y'all know main I'm the hood superstar and that's been that was my intention for a long time and people say to me because Like I said to a lot of people it's a big dramatic thing. Wow you were injecting heroin since you were 1617 like wow, how did you get off it? And they asked me until today. Do you get cravings? Do you get cravings like do you ever do you see heroin and it's like oh and crumble and I'm like listen Let me tell you one perfect way of saying it.  What are you gonna do?  What are you gonna say?   It don't matter how long I've done it So that's what happened brother. And that's how I can be here 15 16 years later, and It ain't a thing you know what I mean If you could go back in time, would you were never took sharing? If I could go back in time would I've never touched heroin? I don't regret touching heroin I don't regret it because I tell you one thing, bro When you go back in time and not do things at the end of the day, I'm here right now and my life's sweet What if I didn't touch heroin if I didn't touch heroin this is an opportunity simple I get it. It's a part of your legacy.  I'm here and I love who I am and I love what I've done If I didn't touch heroin when I was 16, maybe I would have been playing footy and crossed the road and got killed How can you say you know what? I mean like the life choices that you make are your path I could have been anything in the world Including dead so I'm happy that I'm here and I have two healthy children and I have a good life And I'm alive So how can I take anything away anything of your past you take away or switch?  You know what I mean? And then what was next for you Spanion? after that After me getting off heroin So when I got off heroin That didn't change the criminality in me at that point in my life So I was 21 years old if anything I emphasized the criminality after that like I told you I wanted to be a better criminal So my goals had gone from being the lady in the hood that stabs everyone and Makes the money, but he's on on the drugs. I want it to be the smart I want to be the smart can't I want to come with the cars the jewelry this and that and that was my goal And I set out on a mission and I couldn't wait to get out of prison Thought about it every day every time I was in prison when I get out.  I'm gonna kill it and stop the violence because The violence is out of all the types of crime and this is what I say to people People would like to see me now because of what I do and I tell my prison stories and my story is like a story of redemption in a way They confuse me with like, you know, like I'm someone out to save the kids They confuse me a lot with that but I just tell it how it is and what I say to kids is I'm not gonna tell you Kids to not be a criminal. I'm not a policeman and I never will be and I'll never tell someone not to be a criminal But I will tell you one thing for my lessons. Don't do violence and rubbish crime Don't make money do something.   All that money out there you locked up for what? Didn't even make money. He didn't even have a mad life.  Pretty much. Let's put it like this. What are you in jail for? Oh because this lad thought he was tough And what happened? I was tougher than him. Oh So what happened? Oh, and I got 25 years for being tougher than him. Good on you, mate See you later, brother.  I'll get out to her. So that's my only the only thing that I say and the reason I say that at this point In this yarn is because that was my intention after that. So I only just turned really money focused with my crime and Still end up in and out of jail for it End up being a drug dealer fairly successful drug dealer selling heroin and cocaine Done exactly what I wanted to do switch the circumstances and done it to the best of my ability and was good at it Still got arrested. That wasn't that good.  You know what I mean? Yeah Can you tell me what was your worst memory of being in prison? Worst memory of being in prison If you're thinking of it in some dramatic sense, what is the most violent thing this and I if you're thinking of it in some spiritual sense, they're two very different things, but in the most dramatic sense um was probably the first time that I was within e-shot of an attempted murder like didn't die. I might pretend he did but um My very I was only so where was I I was in Parkley prison. I was 18 or 19 first or second time in and The cell right next to me and we share airway.  He just went in a full stab fest on him and it's not that the stab fest was Scary to me like when I was 16 17 whatever 18 19 I was known for stabbing people a lot of the times I was locked up was stabbing people attempted murder I feel like it's still shocking Even even though you a part of it and you do this type of stuff like it's still shocking to hear it being done and For so little of nothing It isn't stuff like that but um it was the reaction and the the rawness of the bloke who was getting stabbed and He was like this was a grown man the bloke that was getting stabbed may have been about 35 40 years old and he was like crying in a way I never heard someone cry before and Ask him for help crying for his life in a way that was like directed to the skies And it was a very like it made me very like sad and I'm Scared myself like I you know what I mean because I was in a cell next to it So it's almost like I was there the wings dead silent and it's just like a lad He's just repeatedly stabbing someone. I can hear the stabs. That's not the thing It was just the way the bloke reacted. He was like crying like it was his way out You know what I mean?     Like that's what that's what prison changed you in that sense. You heard what he said He said I went through that. I seen it. I got over it and it changed me And I got used to it I mean so it inevitably it changed you it changed how you look at life and death It changed it changed Your emotional mindset like you changed it and I was 18 years old, whatever There's well, what would you say is the most genius or the most then they had the most dangerous crime that you were sentenced for as an adult most dangerous Yeah, all right, so before I had come to terms with Lowering the violence a little spectrum out in my head money and violence, but they know they don't work hand in hand But they know go good together. They don't so when violence used to be here and money used to be there I used to be a bit of a psycho, right?  You can see the crazy on They reckon I don't really care got me 10% off my sentence.     Who are you?   It's probably on the phone just capping Capping acting tough a quick call on my girl Who is this Jody? Jody, that's my girl watch when I get out of My bad Y'all ain't never seen baby boy with Snoop Dogg was calling Yvette and Jody picked up the phone when he was in jail My bad like I didn't literally write in my diary about what I mean. It's like it's like I put in my diary All right, I told this bike. I'm gonna kill him.   Makes sense I hadn't even been home to drop off my personal letters of photos yet So I'm walking back down the hood my mom lived outside the hood. All right, I'll walk back down the hood No, I'll go home later Go to my mates house Stash the letters and stuff. I get a change of clothes put some shoes on because you get out in thongs and I'll talk to my mate half an hour small talk. Yeah, but I was going on this and I go Hey, but where's he's gonna go knock these I've been out for hour promise ya So I went down his house He wouldn't come out wouldn't come out. He didn't have a clue who I was mind you in his head eight months ago He's not gonna remember arguing on the phone with someone in my head.  I'm like brah.  I went to the petrol station. I filled petrol up.  Don't do it. I'm saying yeah, he's right. All right He's right.  Let's talk about it Now that is that is one of the moves where you like bro. That's some But at the same time you was not letting up You was not letting up. You were clinically declared insane The only thing he could appeal to Was your compassionate side of you? That's it. There's nothing else because you were clinically insane was gonna work Hey It worked That's all I say. Yeah, bruz.  I watched this went up the street.  Whatever brah. Anyway, it's not cool.  This is the funny part. I went up the straight So I went up the straight and waited in the bushes. So I know if he comes out There's only one way to the shops and to where the boys are selling yandee He has to come past these bushes.  What?  What does that mean and um, I End up on the run for it. Yeah, so Yeah End up on the run so the dickhead gave me up told the police and this and that You know what? I'll give him this credit. I'll give the bloke this credit He tried to lie to the police he tried to tell the police he fell off his push bike, right? Because he's one of the boys apparently so we're not that willing to give each other up to the police You know so at least he had an attempt of not being a dog, right? Said I fell off on on the push bike they left before he got his neck all stitched up They done an extra on his neck to clean it out and two two segments of the box cutter had broken off in his neck So I hit him with force and it snapped two segments and they was still in there Fucking and it's what got me done So they pulled box cutter out of his neck and so they rang the police back up and said mate this bloke See he's got box cutter in his neck so they come back and they were I don't know if any of y'all know that but You know box cutters They you can break them off once one one when one side gets dull if you press press them up against something It breaks off and another piece comes so that's what he's talking about I used to work in a factory is why I know that information So we're hitting him before these frets mate.  So I thought fuck, you know what I mean? Like I couldn't have that long left recklessly wounds not that bad of a charge. So you already on the man Listen to you in there And I got three and a half on the bottom so I had to do another two years Which is a good result because if I if I committed to the trial and then lucky got found guilty out of got eight nine ten eleven years So at that point I'm thinking about could get out in 18 months two years. Let's do it. So I put guilty and That was probably in that sense.  That was probably the most dramatic one. Yeah Spaniard. Hey dangerous. Would you say the streets of Sydney are in certain areas?   That wasn't a thing it was who you are and how you hold yourself and how much money you make and you know That was what it's about that has changed a lot. All right, Sydney culture Sydney gang culture and crime has changed a lot And nowadays it is a lot like that. It's it's a lot.  So now they're into now you get around Sydney. You don't see banks get unrobed You don't see WRX's and Nissan Skyline GDRs flying through the streets with 30 highway patrol behind them You don't see none of that good crime no more. You see fucked crime You see people in one suburb killing people in another suburb and people just fighting amongst ourselves now But unfortunately, I'm sure they all have their reasons why and I'm sure it's really heartfelt But it to me it's disappointing right like yeah, it's people are murdering each other Yeah, that type of crime is very disappointing man All the time now, you know like in a lot of parts of Sydney Drive-bys it's not such a knife thing. I know he's a from England and you love knives here. It's guns, right? Not gonna pretend. That's like Compton or something relaxed, but the guns aren't legal here But people still have guns, right? So but there's suburbs out in Western Sydney. There's drive-bys Every three days There's big wars out there lads are like knocking each blowing each other's heads off in the streets And the police aren't even reporting it anymore. Like when I lived in Chicago. I remember I just moved from Chicago Yeah, 11 months ago when I first when I the last neighborhood I lived in they were all pretty you know Crazy, but the last one I Moved in there and they were in the middle of a gang war didn't even know First day, I tell a story all time first day First day I move in it's a drive-by D Second day second night. I'm talking like the next week or two at night shootings every night.  It's like us versus police. How good do you drive? What bank can you rob? How many stackers can you make? You know what I mean? And so Spaniard, I guess when did the life when did you make that change to become who you are today? How did I become An Australian famous personality as well Went I was when I said who should I interview your name came up more of course more than anyone I'm the personification of Australian culture Australian Street culture. I was there since the beginning I like how you just said that I am the personification of this. I did this This me my foot. Let's say it again the person if I said who should I interview your name came up? Of course more than anyone I'm the personification of Australian culture Australian Street culture I was there since the beginning the boys who are one generation older than me I call the older boys with the originators of the way we talk the way we dress the way we hold ourselves So I was a kid witnessing that firsthand. That's been filtered out through the generations now So a lot of people admire me for what I'd witnessed and what I done in my life So During my last sentence I was over crime right for the reason that I'd been a junkie at the bottom that would steal your handbag And steal your laptop out of the car as small as you can get to Okay, I know you're getting real serious right now, but I got a question if you happen to see me reacting to this Can you please answer? The tattoo like I'm bald headed. I'm bald. Let's start with that. So It looked like your baldness is by choice at a glimpse at the first glimpse But I don't know how long you have that tattoo across your lining But my question to you is Is that the tattoo lining?  It looked clean It looked clean. I Couldn't do it because you know just for the simple fact because you know Like it don't look right on me. Obviously my hair don't even grow in that type of but it's like I'm just been wiped. I'm being curious this whole interview a good-looking muscley drug dealer with chains and cars coming out My ass, right? I've done it. So and the last drug the last sentence was like just under six years five years ten months Whatever for that.  This is five years ago. I'm 31 years old I've given away my teenage years. My entire 20s was in prison. I ended up doing 13 years in prison 13 years all up boys homes and prison over the course of 17 years. So I missed everything Anyone that I could have become Anything that I could have done up until that point was stoned in the bin and I said to myself like What do I what do I do from here? Do I get out? And I be a cool drug dealer again Like oh, yeah, Matt.  I'm gonna live my life now. You know what I mean I had a kid by then who my son was born while I was in prison I got out. He was already in primary school missed all of that. I thought that's it, bro You know, I'm moving on. There's more to Anthony.  We're in prison. So Did I know what I was going to do? No, I didn't but I knew what I was not going to do That's how I felt That's how I felt at the end of doing whatever I was doing in my path.  Yeah, you got this glamorous life for a little bit Yeah, you got money you got this you got that you know saying you got real I want to say you've got no worries, but to the average person looking from the outside in You got no worries But that's don't be worth it at the end of the day man, especially when you get to having kids Like the possibility of not being there far outweighs any type of instant gratification, you know I'm saying so I'll tell you this one thing Since 2002, I remember I was 16 in our back start juvenile detentions and I started rapping I started rapping brass started writing verses like do you know what I mean?   You know what you need medication like wrapping ain't cool. So wrapping was a secret thing that I done from 2002 to 2015-16 whatever I noticed Around 2016 17 coincidently when I got out my last time and didn't want to do crime I noticed that Aussie hip-hop was a thing amongst the younger generations and I was already Had stacks of raps like this above. I'm og at wrapping lad You know what I mean?  I think what they admired was who I was They admired who I was Who you are is gonna take you very very far That's how I be trying to tell people that be starting this stuff. They're like, oh, I want to do this I want to do that man. First of all, who are you?   So I got out and like I think they seem like Oh, look at this rapper. He's the real one or however you want to say it, you know So I played that part and the very first time I got up, you know I got a following 40 50k Instagram followers, whatever and One time someone interviewed me someone asked me to do an interview and I didn't know like interviews like interviews You know someone wanted to make a doco Pretty much similar to what we're doing right now except they were sitting on the side of a street in my hoodie Well, I'm alone.  Don't talk real G's movie in silence.  You know what I mean? Like I'm real I'm not saying anything, but I can't talk about nothing, but it's There's no honor amongst I do agree with the saying but like there's if you really get down to it There's there's never been honor among steves It's you know, so For Bronx, huh, but I did, you know, and I was a big thing to overcome and he's sitting there with the camera And he's saying so like what did you do when you were young like? Searching and prison much like you're asking me wrong on the street level people might keep it silent But when you get up in the in the higher The highest point of criminality People is flipping turn states witness. They're not good.  I don't have to I've done enough for myself You know what I mean? I could go on for days if you want me to by when he got two hours, brother, but um Tell him my story what I've been through and what I've overcome and the first time I've done that The gates opened and I noticed that all of these My followers Whatever demographic they're from they don't give a fuck about rap They want to hear about me and my life and my perspectives and you know They want to know their history of Sydney City and its streets and how we become who we are and what makes that What makes the lads in Sydney different from the rest of the world and how we prided ourselves. They loved it So the first time I spoke Boom gotta find Brody channel man, cuz I'm actually I'm not even gonna lie to you I've been kind of interested in Sydney Street culture, man Because a lot of people got this to say about it a lot of people got that to say about it But why not hear from the you know hear it from somebody that's in it? You know saying And me I'm not here to judge. I'm just here to listen. You know my whole basis is like comparing Whatever your body else is going on in the world to Chicago, so Oh Hasn't stopped since here. We are free three years later, but I'm three years later, but that's a huge Spaniard could you tell me what's the worst memory of your life, please? The worst memory, you know, it's one of these two things In 2008 I was in prison, of course on the other side of the state and my older brother he was a heroin addict and He overdosed and died and I'm pretty sure he overdosed in die. He overdosed and died in his bed at home and I'm pretty sure it was a suicide He was a well-versed heroin addict had been a heroin addict a long time Heroin addicts know how to not overdose when heroin addicts overdose is usually through reckless behavior Through moods that they're in you know what I mean It's it's actually not that easy to overdose on heroin despite what you may believe He overdosed on heroin and I was in prison and they didn't let me go to his funeral so I dealt with that Molder brother overdosing and though my the only man in my life my dad was long gone That's crazy because you was a little bro So I know you looked up to your brother brother the way my little brother look up to me And I know that killed you. I know it. I know it did All right, pretty brother the only man in my life Overdosed and died Brian. I wasn't there and every day I dealt with my mom She could barely talk she could barely breathe on the jail phone in six-minute intervals asked if I could go to The funeral and because I had an escape risk on my file over silly shit They didn't let me go so that was obviously a very hard point in my life and another Thing that always sticks with me is that so In 2011 my missus at the time was pregnant. I got locked up. I didn't get out until 2017 My son was born a few months after I went to jail or whatever. I got out.    I love you Sorry about one sec. He said dad. I love you. Can you keep me forever? You're like he was a pet He said that so So he's been waiting to say it the whole time, right? Can you keep me forever? And I said of course I can keep you forever my boy And the reason that's so sad to me is that it sounds deep without content like a year after that me and his mom broke up we don't get along and I've never really got a long sense and You know like she barely lets me see him So it's like I lied to him, you know Like I like he said can you keep me forever and I and I lied and here I am and I was like I'm barely allowed to I'm I can see him don't get me wrong, but like A couple hours here couple hours there, you know, so that's like you can tell from my reaction to that That's more sad than even my older brother dying. Um, yeah, but there. Yeah, anyway, ah They're the two saddest parts of my life, but I don't feel sad for myself Or any of my life or the prison that I've done 13 years in prison seen horrific things done horrific things. I don't feel sad for myself.  So I can't be too sad. Can I? No, but but you're entitled to be sad my boy You're entitled to that you can't be too sad, but you are entitled to be as sad as you want to be Period To see a son fat one wish fat one wish it's just to have my two sons forever more kids and Have a more happy and protect them teaching to be real men and women if I have daughters And they help us see it. There's nothing else. I don't care. They're nothing else other than that And if you know like to say, um, that's a hard one. Yeah I'm very good at talking when you the director, but when you leave it very open-ended like that. I'm like There's too many lights. There's too many cameras brown lost now No, no, no much but I I just it's just me Spaniard You want to know what Sydney city is about?  I am Australia. I'm Sydney city lad was still one bar.


What's good job your boros back again with another video so for those who are hoping Sasha Banks will return back to WWE You may not want to get your hopes up. It looks like she may not be returning y'all man I've gotten a couple messages on Instagram of people saying y'all I may want to check this out talk about this So that is what I'm here to do man. We're gonna get right into this article by ringsidenews.com Sasha Banks Exit was negotiated months ago, man Sasha Banks shocked the world when she walked out of the WWE During an episode of Monday Night Raw She along with Naomi handed over their tag team titles and walked away from the company ringsidenews Exclusively reported in June that Banks and Naomi contracts were in the hands of attorneys It seems that those contracts are up and fans are waiting on their next move Sasha Banks wasn't seen on WWE television and she wasn't even mentioned until recently there have Been reports that Sasha Banks would make an appearance at the new Japan pro wrestling Wrestle Kingdom which put to rest the speculation that she might return to WWE soon Fightful select is now reporting that Sasha Banks WWE exit was negotiated months ago Despite her still being listed on the company's website It was also noted that Sasha Banks was free to take bookings From January 1st. It was confirmed to Fightful that Mercedes WWE exit was negotiated months ago like when Raj Geary of Wrestling Inc reported as much However, WWE has yet to officially confirm this and she remains listed on the company's official website It was it was also Reiterated to us that Sasha Banks was able to take wrestling related bookings on January 1st Something that Fightful select reported this past fall when we asked if this was contractual We were told that it was and we were informed that Russell Cade Was far from the only wrestling related operation to make attempts to book her with the the big event being another Convention that those close to her claim was interested. We've also heard that some Conventions were tossed around tossed even tossed around the idea of rebranding themselves as entertainment conventions to get around the technically technicality of being a pro wrestling convention in hopes of booking her before January 1st Ultimately that did not happen per Fightful select This also this almost certainly confirms that Sasha Banks is gone from WWE given that she was released It will be interesting to see which promotion she signs for after January 1st Stay tuned to ringside news from her coverage of this story man, and there you guys have it man now granted I'm not sure you know how accurate this is, but I've been seeing a lot of people talk about this today And there's a good possibility. She probably is gone man I know a lot of you guys have been hoping. Oh, maybe she makes a return She's gonna return at this pay-per-view. She's gonna return at this pay-per-view look It's not even in the cards if Triple H is not able to even get her back. I don't know And then maybe she is kind of just over WWE and hey, that is her choice She has the choice to walk away. Who's to say she don't come back? I'm I'm willing to bet Maybe not now. Maybe she does need to take away take a step away from just WWE as a whole and come back later You know after she's done some things in New Japan Pro Wrestling or anywhere else. Hell she may even do a little a little stint in AEW who knows but I can see her Maybe at some point coming back to WWE. Well in my opinion I think she could possibly in her career in WWE if things continue to keep going the way they're going with Triple H Controlling the show, but ultimately a as long as she's happy. That's all that matters I know some people are gonna feel some type of way. You really shouldn't I wish some of us Fans could just be happy for the person, you know So and be happy for the person that they're enjoying their life They weren't having fun clearly Sasha and Naomi weren't enjoying what they were doing And now they they are enjoying what they are doing right now and that's all that matters You know life is very short and fleeting. So what's the point of? Stressing yourself out and being in a situation and you have control to change your surroundings. Go ahead So I'm I'm all in support for it. If he does she if it does Be true and she does not come back. I'm all in support but it does seem like she probably made her mind up a long time ago and She's moving forward with her life in her career. So I'm it's it's I'm indifferent to I'm not one of those people Oh, how could Sasha do that? It is what it is man. She she's our own person She has the right to not come back if that's what she chooses to do man So comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys believe this article? Do you guys believe that she's made her decision a long time ago? And she's probably not coming back for this for the foreseeable future or at least right now Maybe sometime in a few years from now. Maybe she come back or not, you know, you know, maybe she makes over time Let me know how y'all feel about it and would y'all Want her I guess she could say to join AEW if that's a possibility Would y'all want her to be an AEW? How do y'all feel about her being in New Japan pro-wrestling? Like let me know your thoughts and opinions on all this man It's been some crazy news this week for the wrestling world But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel road to 150k Appreciate y'all kicking with me see y'all next one.

It's a very nice little place to hang out with friends possibly study You'll see a lot of people hanging out here And it also gets all this natural lighting and it's so pretty. Yeah Nice place to hang out. So the stadium is right out there. Can't tell because the blinds are down right now We'll sit through here. Nice Do a lot of programs happen in this room We're just really really hanging out. It's more hanging out a study room kind of aspect That's the room that you saw earlier. That's where a lot of programming happens.

They're always Jam and read there's a bathroom Here down here as well And read is also connected to one of the UAPD offices. That is just through that door. Okay But yeah, also the only people that can use this gym are the people that live in reed. So it's also very secure. It's an exclusive All right Well, you all let us know if you have any questions about read and now I think you'll take us to the living room and kitchen So hope what are you studying? What's your major? I'm double majoring in chemistry and chemical engineering. Okay And I'm minoring in physics math and sociology. Gotcha. Are you excited for your classes or not really? Yeah First week after Silvis week, you'll know if you'll be excited or dreading it This is the main kitchen area As well as a little living room area, you'll see people cooking around here all the time and people be hanging out It's almost kind of rare to not see someone using the So well used yeah within the reed community There's also a lot of programs that are hosted over here like baking nights.

Well, sometimes you even programs here for movies What's your what's your summer guilty pleasure show? I don't know if I have one. I love criminal minds personally So this is the community the co-ed restroom So since this is an all-girls dorm if you have someone that is male that is coming over They would have to use this restroom on the first floor. Okay, gotcha You can see this way The first room on your right is going to be the trash room For trash and reed you do have to go outside this door and take it to the dumpster That's right outside the door. Okay, but this is where you come Gotcha And then if you keep going down this way We will hit the laundry room. This is the laundry room. It also has an ice machine if you ever need it As you can see, there's quite a few washes. Why don't be dryers? There's enough to go around. I promise You'll be surprised We are switching to a new system for washing and drying this year We are doing two washes and two drys for per week That it's not up and ready yet, but by the time you guys move in, it will be. Yeah, and that app is speed queen One quick note about Laundering Make sure you don't leave stuff here because we have had sometimes in the past student's clothes have taken out Just make sure that you're really on top of when your clothes are done Don't be one of those people who leaves it in there for an hour or multiple hours Because you may know the answer to this question. Did they get new washing machines? Do they look new? They look quite similar to the ones that I've seen in here before, so I don't think they're now So we've had a mixture. We did lifecycle our laundry machines at a pretty regular pace but the ones for speed queen they just need to be networked so that you can Bob your Washers and dryers. We're going to the 8th floor And we're going to check out the rooms and common area in the bathrooms that show we may lose a little bit of connection here You also just bear with us if we do what if we went on the 8th floor is living in the Yeah, when we've been doing construction Yes, there is see some construction stuff on the floors Upgrades to electricity upgrades to the vinting Looks like it needs new lights You hang out sometimes our is web programs in this area And we had a question Christopher. Do you know how much extra washers will cost $1.50 is what we think $1.50 So we're gonna head over to what each bathroom looks like on the floor again bathrooms and reed except for the one on the first floor are We have the stalls that are separated from the showers And then these are the showers. Yes So it looks like there's five gotcha. And then how many bathrooms are on each floor bathroom areas to On this side and then on the other side of the floor on the other side of the elevators. There's gonna be enough gotcha Right now, I think we'll go look at a room, right But every single room is going to look the same Okay Removal Shells We got Built-in closets and then if we look outside you have a great view of the stadium This is awesome view the other side does have a great view also of like those are found so yes Great views and read and all the links that are like this Will we be looking at an end room? Yes, yeah, that was an extra that was a question that we were asked Yeah, just give us a little give us a little bit to look at it in room But yeah, I'll do one last overview of the room and then I'll start taking some questions and hope do you have the measure on you? You go in Christopher we were asked to look at an end room Okay, gotcha And then okay, so we'll get to y'all's measurement questions, but we'll look at the end room first because most of y'all will be having a Having just the regular rooms the common rooms. There's only how many of these in rooms on each floor two on each floor So this is the exception. Yeah, and the furniture is the furniture the same Yeah All right I don't think they asked for dimensions in the end room I guess if we wanted to look we could see we could get the length and width of the room because everything else should be the same Yeah, we just got a question for what are the room measurements for an end room? 17 okay, so 17 17 8 inches long and then a it was 8 feet something wide Eight by eight eight feet ten inches Wide and then you want to go ahead and give us a height as well. Yeah Gotcha And then someone was asking about measuring the space above the vanity But should that be that that would be the same in the the other rooms, right? Just in case this is an outline let's go ahead and measure Okay, gotcha Do all the spaces above the vanity have doors so this one does so I see me The regular rooms don't have doors that close on their Mm-hmm storage spaces. Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, so this is the only room just for the end room Gotcha, okay Well, I think that's all the questions about the end room So I think we can go back to the the other room and get started in the measurements Yeah 11 feet one inch And the maid sorry we did just give one more question how many plugins are in the end room So let's see if you can see So to there There's another one right here So there are eight eight plugs All right, so now we can go to the Room let's do the way hope And I'll scroll up and see where the last question was So the first question we have is could you measure from the top of the desk to the ceiling so we can make shelves? 55 gotcha. All right Can we get closet measurements And we think we have we have them pretty done So the closet From the floor to this it is Not given I think it's just just like from here So the depth of this is 11 and then the height from this to this is 411 411 So from the bottom to the kind of that first that first shelf yes and then the height right here is nine inches nine inches and then the Width is one foot four one foot four and then the height up here is One and then to the ceiling one foot nine one foot nine and then the width is also Okay, gotcha so width for everything is one foot four gotcha Hmm Yeah, the full height Okay, so Seven feet seven inches for the height of the closet And then I know someone was asking about the vanity, but here is the space above but the vanity here How many inches off the floor is a semi lofted bed? So I guess semi lofted is how it would be here so Right here is about 35 inches. I believe and so every Like peg that you can adjust it to is three inches So I'd say I guess hope could you measure like where it is currently just to give people an idea of where it's at now So it's currently the beds will be most of them will be defaulted to one foot eight inches off the ground I'll go from 24 inches to 59 inches Every three feet You can do three inch intervals between 24 inches and 59. Oh, sorry. Yeah, 24 and 59 inches gotcha How high is the 36 and lofted bed? I'm not sure what that Yeah, you can usually sit start the laser beam and you can move it Exactly right here. Yeah, gotcha. So about that that that area Yeah, good job You don't even you don't even need that tape measuring Or not to measure the electrical measure. What do we do with the desk chairs and desk shelves that we won't use? You are not allowed to take any furniture out of the room, so like you can't bring it home or throw it out I know people have done that in the past and that is a no people have stored them under their beds before That's always an option. Mm-hmm. That's usually what I've seen people do anything you would add Mackenzie. I know in the past that people have Stored everything away just like hope said the only thing that you have to make sure to do before Moving out at the end of the year is you have to make sure everything is put back together How you found it? So just keep that in mind when you're trying to rearrange things. Okay, gotcha What is the measure of the heights of the cinder blocks trying to get a measurement for a shelf? We have seen in the picture The ledge. Yeah Okay, so the ledge is 11 foot 8 this way. Mm-hmm and then This way it is one foot two. Mm-hmm. And then what's the height? Does it stay on there? You may have to measure it Five by two height. And then the height from the floor is two by nine. Okay How far is the windowsill height? So we kind of uh, yeah, we just just talked about that Five foot two, yeah All right, so we're up to date on those questions, but uh, feel free to keep asking them Um, oh, we say that and so I just got us another question Can you confirm the highest level of the bed trying to buy a bed skirt to cover the highest loft?  You can check move in but you are 90 to you and you're ready to arrive And under the five foot loft area, it'll say it's about that. I'll give that exact measurement. I think I did earlier it is 59 inches Highest that it can be lofted. Okay, so about almost five feet All right, but in the meantime, uh, hope could you talk a little bit about a week? Yeah, so a week is a event that we have on campus It is right after you guys move in it's the first week before classes start Basically, campus just hosts all these events for you guys to make new friends and new people Try new things in Fayetteville, try new things for the University of Arkansas Now all these cool events they have events that free food like the taste of Fayetteville where they bring in um Like vendors from the area like local people to try new foods And you might find places that you want to go with friends afterwards They also have things like chocolate wasted, which is kind of like a dance party and A little bit of everything is also to raise advocacy Um around campus and then they also have things like traditional where you go down to raise your next stadium And you learn all these traditions that we do at games and just try to be like a true hot fan Yeah All right. Thank you And I would definitely definitely recommend uh going out to those because that's a good way to uh To meet new friends. Uh, we had another question was does room 321 face the stadium? Um 321 Yes, should face the stadium Because I believe it's 9 through 22 Gotcha All right, awesome. Well, um, that's also we're up to date on the most questions But for now I'll talk about pick one. Hope let me know if All right, it's camera good All right, perfect So we have this uh program that we have that's called pick one You can find more about it by going to pick one dot york dot edu And essentially, uh, what it is that we have so many different student organizations on campus that it can be a Little overwhelming So the goal of it is to just pick once that way you join it at the start of your At the start of the school year It's that way you're already involved uh with an organization on campus and that could be anything from lead hogs where you um Um Make improvements to the dorm you meet every week with the people living in your residence hall It could be something related to uh u rec, which is our fitness center Um, and so you'll do activities revolved around that and there's so many more that I can't even remember them all But definitely go to pick one dot york dot edu and be sure to to join before you come on campus All right, let me see You did get a question. There's not a kitchen on each floor. There's only one on the first floor There's there's two so we have the big kitchen and we have the little kitchen at right outside of the Yeah, it's uh because the the bigger kitchen has everything that you can think of and the small kitchenette has a oven and a stove Gotcha All right, um in the meantime before we wait for questions, uh hoping Mackenzie I was wondering what advice would you give we'll start with we'll start with hope for incoming freshmen All the advice you get words of wisdom I'm gonna say don't be afraid to go to office hours teachers are there for a reason the professors are very helpful during those hours Gotcha Do not sleep on those because we will do and they Do not end up at all. Yeah, it may help when you finally need to to boost that b to an a When your professor actually knows you All right, hope took mine. So I think it's something different. Um, since you kind of pay on an academic Um piece of advice I'll hit on maybe like a social piece of advice Um, so I know we residents typically are very involved on campus um, but for those of you who might Be a little uncomfortable kind of going to things by yourself. Don't be a lot of freshmen coming on campus I'll feel the same way. Um, but that's how you're going to just find your community on campus is try and do things So don't be afraid to put yourself out there. I know it's scary but a lot people are doing it Gotcha. Thank you. Great advice from both of y'all. All right. We have no more questions. So I'm gonna do a quick quick overview of the room again See if there's any last thing here. I'm gonna I'm gonna get in the corner. There we go Will the rooms be clean for move-in or should we bring cleaning supplies? Yeah, they'll definitely be clean we went through that. Um at the end of last semester So they'll definitely they'll definitely be cleaned um and for anything um when you move in there will be uh Be like dollies and mallets if you need to adjust your bed. So um, there's we'll have a some move-in supplies Hope would you describe your move-in process? Yeah My freshman year was a little bit weird because I can move into COVID. I don't which kind of altered the process But um I will say bring all the help you can get and um I think a big tip i'm moving in is to get everything in your room first and then start unpacking Because otherwise you're going to run out of time in the parking lot and that's not going to be fun Because then you have to leave and you have to try to get yourself in without being able to be close to Yeah, um, but yeah, definitely Bring everything up first move your car and then unpack that is something that Yeah, did you have lots of boxes like grabable boxes? um I do now now that I've moved A couple times. Um, I have more experience and I do think that like disposable boxes are pretty easier like cardboard um They're just easier because you can just kind of they're like a dollar out of store You just recycle them instead of having to like just store them somewhere um But then also sometimes if you bring um shelving Or like those like three tier cars Sometimes if you already have them like filled with stuff, it's actually easier when you're moving in So you don't have to like try to unpack anything and to put it back. It's like a container If that makes sense.  A, you know Very very helpful if you get all your stuff in your room first and then start unpacking shower shoes Oh, yes, shower shoes are a must in these showers. Um, so since you share a shower with basically everybody on your floor Don't want to accidentally contract anything from anyone. Yeah Yeah So, yeah, yeah, we have two questions about air conditioning. Uh, so will the a cv turned on for moving? Yes, absolutely. We would not do that to you That would be yeah, definitely that made me remember one thing definitely. I remember to bring water When you go to moving because it's going to be hot. We also will have water Here for you. Um, but yeah, we do have water fill up stations on every floor and on the ground floor So if you have like a water bottle, you can also use that There's ice makers, right?  But next question about the a c does each floor control the a c or how does that work? It's a great question. So Each room does have a thermostat so you can't turn down your room However, if you're wondering about like overall a c versus heat control, we don't have control over that for each room. So If you're cold, you can't turn it on to the heat when the a c's on if that makes sense But you do have like direct temperature control. Do you tell them about the seasonal change? Yes. Yeah, so, um Every year when we go from hot from cold to hot like in october It's typically for the fall and usually april and spring. Yeah Um, Reed sometimes does have some issues with the temperature. Um, and also sometimes mold will happen I don't want to worry anyone. The mold has always been non-toxic Um, there are a lot of ways you can prevent doing that. So that means, um, Putting in a work order just as soon as you see something so that our maintenance crew can come in and clean everything They always do Don't put things over your a c unit Like especially what towels that has caused a lot of issues in the past And three get dehumidifiers Get things that will collect moisture from the air that has helped mitigate the issues Just so you are aware Gotcha We have another question for you Mackenzie for move-in. Will we be directed to a specific lot after we unload? Um, so if that's a yes, right? Yeah, um, typically it's garland parking garage. Yeah, it'll be garland parking garage You can park there Not overnight, but during the day at the top floor Okay, gotcha and a follow-up to that is can our kids park in resident reserve on move-in days? Not on move-in days. So our lot will be completely closed down from Tuesday through Sunday or it's at least Saturday at least Saturday So for a majority of move-in week, it'll be closed. I won't park there. RAs won't park there. Um, typically People have resident reserve will park in a parking lot across from reed Um, that is still very close to the building a lot 56 is also a place where you can park Before you know during move-in Yeah It's on the south end of campus. It's a little distance from here. So yeah, gotcha And then once you're able to like park back and resident reserve are as well, you know, yes, gotcha Um, next question.  So could you turn that turn that on? This is how how bright it is Yeah um next question My daughter's room is on floor eight. Are elevators really slow on move-in? Will we have enough time to go to and from our car? You will definitely have enough time. I was an r.a in reed for three years So I've done move-in here for three years and we haven't ever really had that many issues of people not being able to Um Make it so our elevator policies that if you are rolling something or carrying things If you're above floor four, you are able to take the elevators up and down So we don't allow everyone to go to try and mitigate some of that issue And there will be someone like sitting in the elevator, right to control it. All right, we'll be controlling the elevators. Gotcha All right. Well, I think that's all the questions we have Um, I'm gonna do another another last preview of the room See if there's any last minute questions and then I'll have you'll sign us out What type of extension cords are we allowed to have?  They do have search protectors like six extension cords that I would recommend I have one and it works fine. I got my formal mart merged a couple of looks Definitely get a search protector one that you help get one that can I turn on and off with the switch? Um, and also when you do have them because every student will have an extension cord don't Fill up all the plugs because that's gonna help Not have Yeah, yeah, and we just recommend that you don't plug cords into cords. Yeah Try not to have an extension cord and then plug another extension cord. Yeah. Yeah bad things might happen But yeah circuit circuit protectors are good to have Mm-hmm. All right. Well, I think that's all the questions we have so, um We'll start with you Mackenzie to sign us off any last words. Um, I'm very excited for this upcoming year in breed It's great to be back in a place. I called home for three years I'm really excited to get to create, you know, welcoming and excited community for all the residents here So I'm really excited to meet everyone. Um, so yeah, good luck packing for the next three weeks And I'm excited to see you. Yeah, and we do have one last question for you If we mail to our so this person said they're coming from georgia If we mail to our student will the mail room be open during move-in? So can they pick up packages during move-in? I'd say I don't think we can accept packages prior to the move-in Okay, because we don't have a good place to hold on to it Yeah, and our call admin that usually does all of our packages. Um, it's going to be very busy with like keys and things But if you want to call our front desk of housing and get a better answer feel free to I'll be able to tell you more exactly like what's the exact date when you can start mailing things because I understand the need It's just we don't have the human resources to pull that one off Gotcha and to find that phone number you can go to housing.york.edu And all right, everyone. Thank hope for giving our tour around and yeah, you can go and sign us out All right. Thank you guys for coming. I hope you guys enjoyed our little tour recall And I hope you guys are excited to move in and we'll see then Awesome. Thank you


From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of Red Hat Summit 2020, brought to you by Red Hat. Welcome back. This is theCUBE's coverage of Red Hat Summit 2020. I'm Stu Miniman and it's our seventh year doing theCUBE. This year, of course, it is a digital event which means we are reaching all the community members where they are around the globe. Really excited to bring the program, first time guest and a first time to Red Hat Summit, Vishant Vora. He's the Chief Technology Officer of Vodafone Idea, joining me from Mumbai, India. Vishant, nice to see you. Thanks so much for joining us. It's a pleasure to be here, Stu. I'm looking forward to this interaction. All right, so as I said, I've been at Red Hat Show for many years. The telecommunication space, service providers are some of the more interesting in a technology space. You talk about scale, you talk about change, you talk about software eating the world, all of those discussions are ones I've had for many years. But I think many people know Vodafone, maybe Vodafone Idea, if you could just shape for us the organization and of course you've got the CTO at. So what that means inside your organization. Sure, so Vodafone Idea is a company that came to game as a result of a merger about 18 months ago. The number two and number three operators in India, which was Vodafone and Idea, came together to create a telco serving over 300 million subscribers. And we've been integrating the networks over the last 18 months and consolidating and doing one of the largest integration in the world of two networks, comprising over 200,000 sites and carrying more than 50 billion MB of traffic per day, serving more than 40 million voltage customers. And we have been duplicating the network, very, very busy with that. And we've taken down so far almost 100,000 base stations, which is equivalent to the size of a large operator in US. So that's about the kind of, that is about the scale of the operator that Vodafone Idea is and what we've been busy with for the last day. Yeah, well, Vashant, of course, the reason we're doing this event online is because right now with the global pandemic, the vast majority of the population, they're at home. So healthcare, of course, one of the major concerns I actually have done interviews with some of the power and energy companies, critically important at this time, but telecommunications, one of the top of the list in normal times for what people need, but today it's the only way that we can all keep connected. So tell us a little bit about what the current situation, the impact and importance this really highlights of your business. Yeah, so just as the rest of the world, India is also in a lockdown and India actually has one of the largest, the largest lockdown in the world, putting all 1.3 billion people in a lockdown across the entire country. So within that context, the telecom network is crucial to make sure that the life goes on, the essential services are delivered, the industry continues to still operate as the best it can, and all of that is made possible because of a stable and reliable network that we offer. So a huge, huge impact on the society always has been, but in this current context, it is even more and more critical and crucial. So what we do is we make sure that we are the invisible layer. You talked about healthcare workers and emergency services. Well, we are the invisible essential service that probably many people don't see, but we are the ones who are really helping this country survive this crisis. And so far, we have seen 25, 30% increase in traffic in a single day. In one week, we experienced the same amount of traffic growth we would have experienced in the entire year. So scalability is very, very critical in our networks and we've been able to keep up with that kind of a growth and continue to serve the communities and this crucial juncture. And all of this to large extent has been made possible because of a large scale deployment of cloud technologies that we have done over the last 18 months, which has really helped us scale up a lot of our capabilities in the back. Yeah, I'd love if you could explain a little bit more on that. Challenging times, I'm curious, the amount of people that are using your services probably haven't changed, but the demand and how much they're using it has changed a lot. So cloud obviously gives you scalability, but are there concerns about what this does to profitability, how you maintain things? How much of this is a temporary change and how much will this be? I know in the United States there's a lot of talk about how much work from home will become more of a standard than it had been before this pandemic. So short-term, what's the impact on your business and what are you and other telecommunication companies thinking about what long-term impact this will have? Stu, I think that's a very, very interesting question. I think even for me and my organization, what we have been able to do working from home is amazing. I never would have thought that it was possible to do as much as we've been able to do, just staying with most of the workforce staying at home. And that has really, I think, happened across the industries, across the entire country. I think many organizations have now realized that work from home or work from anywhere, which is the other term, is gonna become quite possible and prevalent going forward because people have realized that you can just get, you can get just as much productivity out, you can get so many things done working from home and it gives so much more personal flexibility to the individuals. So I see when I look back at our organizational experience, I see our productivity has been actually quite good, actually better than probably even in the office days. So I think that is definitely one thing that is gonna come out as a global change across all industries. I think the second thing that is gonna happen is data analytics. I think there's gonna be far more analysis of data to understand patterns and understand trends and how to take advantage of that. I think, of course, the immediate application is in the healthcare and the spread of the pandemic, but I think this will spur a lot of other analytics. I think the third thing it's gonna do is the adoption of digital as the primary mode. Digital was already something that most companies were working on as a top priority, but I think going forward is gonna become very evident to people that it is actually essential. Just talking about my business, I can tell you today, all the stores, all the shops, every place that we used to sell our recharge vouchers are closed. So the only place we are able to get any revenue from is our digital channel. And only place where customers have been able to recharge their prepaid subscriptions, et cetera, has all been through digital. So I think digital will also become a massive, massive requirement. So in that context, I think telecom will be seen as a critical backbone. I think to a large extent, it has been seen by many in the past as more of an essential commodity, but I think many organizations will realize that this is actually a value creator. So I think it's a great, exciting opportunity for us to take advantage of those new business opportunities that will come and at the same time, be a very, very important player in the digital economy that every nation around the world is going to pursue. Well, Vishan, really appreciate some really good commentary there. We've been talking for years about customers going through their digital transformation. It's really about the data and how they leverage that.  And you kind of described what we call the new innovation cocktail. You're leveraging cloud, there's data. You put those all together as to how you drive your company and you can drive innovation. Oftentimes when we think about what results we're going to get from playing cloud and using these types of new technologies, we think we know what we're going to get, but the reality of how your company is dealing with things today, of course, proves what you were hoping to build for here. Help us understand, we're talking here as part of Red Hat Summit this week. What's Red Hat's role in this piece and how did the reality of rolling this out and then how it has helped you in the current global situation impacted your business? Sure. So I would say actually the three words that I used, digital, cloud and analytics. To me, they're actually inseparable because I do not believe that you can have a digital business that is not based on cloud or that is not good at data analytics. I think if you want to really have a successful cloud offering, it implies that automatically that you are a digital business and you're going to do extensive amount of data and analytics and build those capabilities. I think those are three inseparable terms. Now speaking specifically about Red Hat, I would say that Red Hat has been a very, very critical partner for us right from the beginning. 18 months ago, when the two companies two came together to create this network, we knew that we had to do several things. Number one was actually to have a completely rationalized cost structure, which was around extracting the synergies from the merger. But beyond that, we needed to build a telco of the future, technology company of the future, which will let us transform the business and create capabilities that will give us a step ahead, a leapfrog ahead of our competition. And cloud was a very, very essential part of the journey. And we knew we needed to build a cloud based on open systems because we did not want to get into a proprietary lock-ins with anybody. And we are at very large business, we have sufficiently large scale to really be able to build a very large cloud. So we started working with Red Hat about two years ago and in the last two years, we have deployed 80 plus cloud locations, distributed cloud locations across the country. And all of these clouds, our vision is to orchestrate them as a single cloud. Our vision is to build a cloud, that is a universal cloud. Actually, that is a word we use when we talk about cloud. It's a universal cloud. What does that mean? That means that cloud will carry not only the traditional telco workloads, but it will also carry IT workloads. It will also carry a lot of the enterprise offerings we have. So for the end user, for our enterprise clients and all of those capabilities have to be accommodated with a platform that is versatile, that is scalable, and that is gonna give me enormous amount of flexibility and control as a organization. So Red Hat has been a very important part of the journey and on the Red Hat OpenStack Cloud today, I have NFVs working from any major supplier you can think of. I have NFVs working from Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE, even some smaller players like Mavineer. So we have demonstrated that this is possible. We've been able to break the lock-in that the traditional NEPs have had on their cloud offerings, which were really more of a virtualized offerings rather than a cloud. It is a truly universal cloud on the back of the technology provided by Red Hat. Well, that's fantastic, congratulations on that. I love the result of what you're calling universal cloud is the promise that we talked about for a number of years. Is that nitty gritty networking piece, it was like network functions, virtualization, NFV, sitting on OpenStack and everybody's like, well, OpenStack, am I trying to build a cloud to compete against the public cloud providers? It was like, no, what you said exactly, there's services that you want to be able to deliver. And it's not just about, oh, we're getting away from hardware appliances, it's just like most people today, they're used to whatever smart device they're doing, I want to be able to turn on channels and access new things. That's, you're now reducing that barrier to, for Vodafone idea to deliver that to your users. Have I captured that properly? That is correct. As a matter of fact, I'll just give you one proof point. My Vodafone app is the app that we have for our consumers. And that app is currently running on my telco cloud, what used to be called the telco cloud. So on that platform, we are running my packet core, actually there are about 40 NFVs or virtualized traditional telco applications running alongside with an IT application, a digital application. Okay, so one of the things that I'd like to understand there that what you've deployed there over the last couple of years sounds like a significant shift. So, you're talking about apps, you're talking more of a developer type of environment, bring us inside a little organizationally, what new skills of new people had to learn? Have there been new people added to the organization? Have there been any restructures? What is this whole initiative to get to Universal Cloud meant for your organization? Sure, so I look after both the network and IT pieces of the part of parts of the company. And we traditionally were in the past legacy, we have had a IT cloud and we have had in telco cloud. What we are now creating is a single Universal Cloud. But either of the two workloads are gonna be facilitated. So for that, actually the two parts of the organization need to come together and start to really work as one. Now, it is very important that the telco guys understand the scale and the 5.9s required in running a network. But at the same time, IT guys also understand very much what all of the, the flexibility that the business requires and the responsiveness required for the enterprise. So bringing those two talents together, I think in infusing that to create a single organization is one of the biggest challenges I think any telco has. We also face it, that is one aspect of it. The second aspect of it is that they're just earned to many cloud experts in the world. And we have been struggling with that. I think scale shortage is a clear challenge for us. Now we try to address it using variety of means. We of course try to upscale, rescale a lot of the traditional network core engineers that we have had. We also try to use talent available from consultants. And then we also try to use our vendors. So one of the concepts we've been working with our vendors is a concept of a resident engineer. So we try to actually get them to second some of their engineers to work with us. And at the same time, we've been now working with both IBM and Red Hat to create a program to really go out and create a community around us of developers who can really work with this cloud and therefore we will have enough of skills available to leverage all of the potential benefits that are there in the platform, but can only be unleashed if I have the right skills and the right people. You touched on a very important issue. It is a challenge, but we are working our way through it and so far we've made good progress. All right, well Vishan, I can't let a CTO go without looking a little bit into the future. So I want to help understand, we talked about some of the technologies, we talked about the transformation of what's happening in your business, what's happening in your organization. There's some big waves coming. Cloud is still in early days. 5G of course, is expected to have massive impact on everyone's environment for this. So what is the winning formula for the telecoms going forward? Well, I think 5G is an exciting world. We are a 4G network today. The 5G spectrum hasn't been auctioned in India, but what we are building today is what I call a 4G plus network, which means a lot of the architectural principles of 5G we have already applied in my core networks today and in my transport network. In that world, I think IoT is going to play a very, very big role. And if you want to do things like IoT, and if you want to do things like blockchain, then I think telco cloud has a huge role to play because we are the telcos are traditionally the only ones in a country anywhere in the world who have experiences in operating in very far-flung places. Dealing with a lot of the infrastructure challenges, especially if you're in a developing country, you know that you have to work with a poor power availability, poor transport, et cetera. I do not see any of the big guys, the big cloud players really having those capabilities today. I think telcos are going to play a very big role in enabling that 5G IoT world. And it is going to be an exciting journey for telcos. I think telcos will very soon be called tech companies. That is one thing that I strongly believe in. I think also many of the things that depend on blockchain will require the kind of cloud that telcos will create because a telco cloud is far more demanding than a traditional IT application in many ways. For example, latency, or for example, throughputs. Now all those things are very important in blockchain type of applications. So I think that's another exciting opportunity for telcos really is to get into that. And of course, there are discussions about smart cities, smart government. And because of COVID crisis, I think many governments are going to explore new ways of organizing societies, new ways of governing economic activities. And the backbone for a lot of those things is going to be telecom networks and the cloud distributed clouds to the edge that we create. So I think it will create many, many exciting business opportunities as a consequence of some of those technological innovations. Yeah, Vishant, I can't remember who said it. As they said, don't waste a crisis. But Vishant Vora, CTO of Vodafone Idea. Pleasure talking with you. Thank you so much for joining us. Hope you enjoy the Red Hat event as it is distributed this year. And definitely look to be able to meet you sometime at a future physical event back when we have those in the future. Thank you, Stu. It's been a pleasure meeting you virtually and look forward to the event. All right, lots more coverage from theCUBE's Red Hat Summit 2020 activity. I'm Stu Miniman and thanks as always for watching.
