So, welcome everybody again. The second talk of this session is Battle Tea with Optimal Rate by Svika Brackerski, Pedro Branco, Niko Dötling and Sihang Pu, and Sihang Skonekivetok.  Try saying that. Sorry for that. Thanks for introduction again. I'm Sihang. I will talk about Battle Tea with Optimal Rate. It's a joint work with Svika Brackerski, Pedro Branco, and Niko Dötling. So, let me first recall the functionality of obvious transfer. There are two parties, a sender and a receiver. So, a sender inputs two bits, M0 and M1, where the receiver inputs a single choice bit, and the functionality will output the chosen bit MB to the receiver. So, for security, it requires that the sender doesn't want the receiver to learn the other unchosen message and 1-B. Similarly, the receiver doesn't want the sender to learn which message is chosen by him. So, there's an amortized variant of OT called batch OT. Basically, it's an independent bit OT where a sender inputs a pair of bits, and the receiver inputs a choice bit to retrieve a B1 to MBN. So, in this work, we focus on the two-round batch OT protocol, which means each party in the protocol only sends a single message, where the receiver sends a first message, encoding his choice bits, and the sender responds with a second message, encoding the chosen bits. As the two notions we are interested in this work are absolute rate and download rate. Upload rate means it's a ratio between the choice bits and the first message. Download rate is a ratio between the chosen bits and the second message. So, it's natural to ask, can we build a batch OT protocol with optimal rate? Here, optimal rate means both upload rate and download rate are close to 1. In other words, the total communication complexity tends to be 2 times N, where N is the number of bits you transfer. So, the straightforward solution is to use rate 1 FHE. Rate 1 FHE makes access for M-Bit Stopper test. It also contains or conveys roughly M-Bit message. But there are a few drawbacks. The first is it requires lattice assumption. Second, it's not computationally efficient due to the Bustrabi mechanism used. So, we tend to ask, can we build a rate 1 batch OT with assumptions not implying FHE or without lattice assumptions? So, the answer leads to our main result. We are able to build a batch OT protocol with over rate 1, which secure against semi-honest adverse rates. And we need a DTH assumption to argue similar security, and we need a DTH plus LP assumptions to argue receiver security. As an additional result, we show how to emulate a small subgroup in the P, which gives us the first statistically function-private linear homomorphic encryption under DTH with rate 1 server test. Here's a roadmap of this talk. I will first show you how to build a standard OT from Elkma encryption schemes. Then I show how to achieve download rate 1 via server test compression. Next, I will show how to achieve output rate 1 via encryption technique. As the end, I will briefly describe how to tackle two small issues appearing in the last step. As a warm-up, let's see how we can build a standard batch OT from Elkma scheme. The receiver generates a public key, namely a generator G and group element G to the Y, where Y is also the secret key. To generate the server test, the receiver encodes its choice bed B as G to the B. Note this encoding can be decoded efficiently due to the small message space. The receiver sends a public key and a server test to the sender. The sender homomorphically computes an OT function on this server test. This OT function is linear. You can see if X equals to 0, the output would be M0. X equals to 1, the output would be M1. So, after the evaluation, the server test will encrypt the G2's MB and, of course, with a refreshed readiness. Then the sender sends back the server test to the receiver. The receiver can decrypt it by his secret key to learn the choice bed. Considering the communication, the download rate is 1 over 2 times group size, as there are two group elements in the second message. And the upload rate is 1 over 4 times group size, as there are four group elements in the first message. So, this basic protocol is not satisfying as it has poor rates. So, how can we improve on that? We use a server test compression technique to achieve a download rate of 1. And that is to encrypt L bits of our public key. It's going to be L plus 1 group elements. And the uncompressed server test also contains L plus 1 group elements, and they share the same randomness. After compression, the server test is composed of a header and L payload bits. The header contains C0 and key. The header, the size of the header, only depends on the security parameter. So, in this way, we can compress the server test into L bits plus some constant. This is a symptotic rate of 1 server test. So, with this technique, we can amortize the sender's message as follows. The receiver encodes his choice bit for each choice bit encoded as a vector. So, he has L choice bits. So, there are going to be L server test of vectors. And the receiver sends the public key and L server test to the sender. The sender also homomorphically computes the OT function on each server test. Note, for each server test, he runs the same function on each coordinate of the vector. So, after evaluation, the server test will encrypt the choice bit at its specific position. After summing up, the sender can compress it to a small or short server test using the server test compression technique. After receiving it, the receiver can decrypt it to learn the chosen bits. So, in this way, the download rate becomes L over L plus some constant, as long as we transfer, as long as the number of bits to transfer is large enough, so this rate is close to 1. However, in the other side, the upload rate is even worse because we use L square group elements to encode just L bits. So, how to improve on the upload rate? Our approach is to use rate encryption technique. What we need actually is a rate one encryption scheme with linear decryption. So, LPN almost fulfills these requirements. We call LPN means for any uniform random matrix and random vector and error vector with small hamming weight. LPN holds FAS plus E is computationally indistinguishable from a uniform random vector. Symmetric encryption also simply works as follows. Given a secret KS, we can encrypt binary vector M as compute AS plus E and plus M. To decrypt it, just compute D minus AS. So, for the moment, we will ignore this decryption error. So, with LPN, the receiver can encrypt his choice bits under the LPN scheme. Additionally, he will encrypt the LPN secret under the LKMA scheme. So, then the receiver sends the LKMA public key and LKMA server test and also the LPN server test and the matrix A to the center. The center will first homomorphically decrypt this LPN server test under the hood of LKMA. So, he will get a server test encrypting the receiver's choice bits and then he can homomorphically evaluate the OT function and compress it to the small server test as before. The receiver then just decrypted to learn the choice bits. By doing this way, the upload rate is L over N times polylambda plus L. This is also close to one. As long as the dimension of the LPN secret is much smaller than the number samples L. Also, notice that we ignore the matrix A in calculation because we can reuse this matrix for multiple bunch of choice bits. But there are still two small issues. The first one is LPN has decryption errors. So, it will produce incorrect outputs. Second, LKMA is actually not a function-private scheme over Z2, but in this step, we need to homomorphically decrypt LPN server test. We actually need to operate in Z2. So, let's see how to deal with LPN errors. We need to run additional protocols in parallel. Let's first consider the positions with error, which means the choice bits at these positions will be flipped after LPN decryption. Since the receiver knows the error positions, so for each error position, it can compute the first message of an additional OT protocol with the choice bit BI as its input. It can compute the first message of PLL protocol and with position I as input. Then, it sends both of these messages for each error position to the center. After receiving them, the center also for each error position computes the OT response based on these messages for all of its inputs. So, in this way, the center will get a database of OT responses for each error position. Then, the center just computes the PRR response based on each database for each error position. Then, it sends the responses to the receiver. The receiver can locally recover the chosen bits at these error positions by finishing the PRR protocol followed by the OT protocol. Okay, but what about the bits at the positions without errors? We cannot just directly send them to the receiver because the center doesn't know which positions has error and which are not. So, the center needs to use an additional technique called distributed punctual PRF. So, the center holds the PRF key and mask all of its inputs at the PRF values and the center then obliviously generates and transfers the punctual key to the receiver. With this punctual key, the receiver can mask PRF values at all positions except for the error positions. This can be constructed by known techniques. So, the last issue is about the function privacy. So, center privacy actually doesn't hold in above protocols because ALGMA is not a function private over the two. The reason is the group ZP doesn't have non-trivial subgroups. So, if we encode the bit as a G to the B, it will leak information that we cannot do modular reduction. However, if we want to encode it in higher order bits, like in that setting, it will still accumulate errors, which leaks information again. So, our solution is to use random master running. With random master running, we still want to encode the bit in high order bits. But now, this time, we want to integer close to 0 or equal to 2 according to a discrete Gaussian distribution. In this way, we can solve the problem and it actually gives us statistical function private schemes. There are a few open questions to be solved in future works. For example, can we upgrade our same honest security to malicious security or can we remove or replace PN assumptions with others? Thanks for listening. Thank you. Anybody has questions? Hi. Thank you for the talk. Very nice tricks. I was wondering what kind of error rates do you use in the LPN assumption? Okay. Thanks for the question. The error rate is slightly sublinear to the number of samples. It's one inverse small polynomial error rate. Okay. Thank you. No problem. Are there any other questions? Can I ask you if you could go back to slide 12. To which slide? 12. 12. Oh, yeah. It's about here. Okay. So, this is LPN and at the same time L-Gamal, right? Yes. Where is L-Gamal? What are you applying L-Gamal to? Sorry. What is L-Gamal encrypted? Okay. The L-Gamal encryption encrypted the LPN secret. Yes. And the server, the sender applies L-Gamal to re-encrypt? Yeah. The sender applies a sender homomorphically decrypt the LPN under the L-Gamal schemes. Since L-Gamal is linear homomorphic. Ah. Also, server evaluates the decryption algorithm over the L-Gamal scheme, yes, or L-Gamal sub-test. Ah. And that's what it sends back? Yes. Yeah. Yes. And so, this packing, it's, you use the packing technique, right? Yes. So, it has no limit, like I can pack however many bits I want into the single L-Gamal object, group element, or it stops at some point. You're seeing how many bits we can pack in the L-Gamal sub-test, right? For the L-Gamal sub-test, I think it depends on your, since L-Gamal has a super polynomial modulus. So, in the packing, we need some, we need a PRF to detect, to generate a breakpoint in the group. As long as the group is large enough, we can pack as much information as we want. And so, this, do you think this can extend to OT in larger messages and bits? You mean the string OT, or? I mean, what we solve is, we focus on the bit OT, it means the message as a single bit, right? For, if you want to do for string OT, you can do with the easier techniques. I mean, bit OT implies string OT, right? But not the other way around. So, you just repeat over, right? Because you only have honest but serious security. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much. Thanks. If there's no further questions, and let's thank the speaker.


to you about how to pick a volleyball for you and the different types of volleyball stuff there are. And I have this video requested and I'm trying to get it to you right now. If you haven't already checked out my t-shirt line, the pancake 2017 edition, make sure you check out my subscription box below because these sharks are going fast and they are cute. But this is one of my old designs and it says the best is yet to come for my last season. So if you like this shirt, I might also put this out there for you guys too. So make sure you guys subscribe. So today we're going to talk about different types of volleyball and what kind of volleyball is best for you. So let's get right into it. We see this beautiful wall of volleyball that we have here and there's a lot of different choices. And the first thing people look at are the colors, but you should really look at what type of volleyball it is because they do feel different. For example, this right here is a multi volleyball. This is an indoor volleyball and you can tell by the stitching on this volleyball. I'm going to zoom into it. On this volleyball it has different types of stitching and also it also will tell you somewhere on the container if it is indoor or outdoor. It says that it can be either or official volleyball for sand and grass, which means that you can use this on three types of settings. This is a different type of volleyball and it has a different type of stitching. It's very much so much lighter. So this is an extreme pro and this is usually used for sand or grass, most likely sand. So this is a professional official game ball, which means it's the right size and weight, and it is for soft sand and recreational. So it is in softer material. So indoor volleyball, this would not fly. Then you have something called a volleyball light.  So people who are new like middle school girls who are trying to do volleyball for indoors, this would be a great thing for them because it is an indoor volleyball, but it's also a lighter weight and has less impact. There are a lot of different volleyball. So it's ballman, multi, well sand, tachikara. There are a lot of different volleyball to choose from. You can choose the best one for you. So the best thing you can do is look at if it's the official weight, if it's the right size, and if it's the color that you like. And there are also some professional volleyball that don't have feature here, that I will leave in the description box below so that way you can see the volleyball that I like to use for example. Okay? Also be sure to subscribe to my channel and I will see you guys next time.


This study found that many people experience long-term symptoms after being infected with COVID-19. These symptoms included difficulty breathing, fatigue, chest pain, headaches, abdominal discomfort, muscle aches, cognitive impairment and depression. Additionally, these symptoms often occur together and can vary depending on age, gender and severity of the virus. This article was authored by Maxine Taquette, Quintender Kahn, Sierra Luciano and others.


The best piece of advice I've been given at Hydrig is to not look at how things have been done but rather start with a bank piece of paper, challenge ways of working and reinvent. To be here now, back yourself. Just don't hold yourself back, just go guns blazing.  Don't underestimate the power of the right question. I would say just ask.  To take my time when a search engagement comes, so get to know the client, understand their background, understand their needs, their challenges. It might take a bit more time to build that strong foundation but once you have that foundation, whenever the search gets messy, which it does always and that's what makes it interesting, you can always go back to that foundation. I've had tough times and have made mistakes. However, my manager encouraged me that I can only learn from those experiences and gain from that. To gain trust from people and in order to do this, you have to keep the promise with the colleagues and clients. Always benchmark yourself against the job responsibility of the next level. Focusing on growing and expanding my network globally within the firm and it's been a great opportunity and an enriching experience to get to know a lot of people across the different offices that we operate in. Ensuring we regularly and consistently keep up to date with market trends, with what's going on in the industry and really understanding what's going on with our companies and our clients and being able to apply those insights to inform the bigger picture when we're actually working with clients to solve their problems. Different things are important to different people in any situation. Your success will come from how effectively you navigate all those relationships to a common finish line. Aiming high. I'm not just aiming to be a professional consultant. I am aiming to be the most trusted advisory and aiming to build a long-term partnership with my clients.


Welcome everyone to another episode of lunchtime with Luke or some of you guys have called it Smith Wars. I Like that one. So in this episode, we're gonna talk about the Bugman menace the bug man a lot of people see me using the term bug man Or people who subscribe to my channel using the term bug man, and they don't really know what this means Because the bug man.  So what is a bug man? Okay? A bug man is like a redditor a bug man is Well, let's put it this way. I think the way the term was originally used is really the idea is okay, so You you're born and you're born with a tradition. You're born with a family. They have they sort of have a Folklore attached to them. They have a religion. They have habits. They have you know Generations and generations of people have fallen in place to generate you and now what a bug man does is a bug Man doesn't think of himself as being a part of a tradition instead of bug man Thinks of everything that he was born with as being bad and he wants to get rid of it He wants to deconstruct it. He wants to remove it from his life. He thinks it's irrational and Basically what a bug man does is you know, it's it's not just a rebelling against your parents kind of thing It's deep was way deeper than that. It's a mindset where you deconstruct everything About any kind of either traditional society, but more than that your life and you abandon everything You abandon all of that stuff and become a totally rootless person and what is your culture become? Okay now Let that question.  What does someone become if they abandon their family traditions? Well, what happens nowadays a Bunch of people do the stuff. That's really lame.  That's really lame People identify with diets that they do people identify with Ideologies you read the Wikipedia article for anarcho syndicalism. You really like it. I'm an anarcho syndicalist That's now an aspect of my personality. That's my identity when I introduce myself to other bug men I will introduce myself as that or religion remember remember all those kids in high school who read the Wikipedia article for Buddhism and now they're Buddhists because the bug man How bug men think about things like this like religion bugmen think of that as they think of it Autisticly they're they're high why I would call them high functioning autists But they're really low functioning because they don't really get the whole point of life to them You know religion for example This is like religion is a collection of factual beliefs that you believe in or not believe in and I have autism And I can't understand anything else besides that like I don't understand why people go to church and do all the social stuff and That doesn't make sense to the bug men because they are in this mode of deconstructing all that so again Their identity in lieu of that comes from things like dieting music You know your own personally chosen religion that you really have no Fulcish connection to you can convert to a religion of some other country in some other place that you know nothing about You might not even know anyone whose practice is this religion or even further Sexual you know people identify with sexual fetishes. Okay, that's a new thing nowadays So people will wear that people, you know the the archetypical tumbler user is someone who in their bio They're they're bug people so they don't have you know, they don't have any traditions They don't have any family line. They're continuing instead. They're continuing this bug line of you know Totally deracinated identity. I have chosen to be a furry I have chosen to be an anarcho syndicalist. So that is a bug man thinking now, of course, it's not always this extreme I'm I'm sort of taking a little further The fact is all of us even me of course have bug man aspects about us and that's part of That's part of the curse of modernity. All right. We have to deal with that, you know We there are parts of our life that we have abandoned Because we think it's irrational and when I say we think it's irrational Rational is often what bug men think that they're there the kind of line of thought they think they're following in that When it comes to something traditional, they will find any kind of logical machinations. They possibly can to destroy it Now of course when it comes to something like anime or video games or whatever people are identifying with They're not gonna Put the same kind of logical deconstruction to that because well, it's just not gonna work out so anyway This kind of person so the bug man when it comes to their opinions or their worldview They don't think of themselves. They don't think of themselves as an aspect, you know one extra stone in a long line of people Now that's not to say that if you think of yourself this way you have no individuality But bug men have a pseudo individuality. They have they are They they're into their I guess identity comes from something things that don't matter rather than who they actually are In fact, they spend most of their time Destroying who they actually are which is really lame and their mindset is they don't understand I guess the limitations of their own autism Okay If you're going if you have this rational mindset where you're trying to deconstruct all the you know live a rational life like Well, I'll just eat 2,000 calories a day exactly what the FDA recommends or something like that And that's a rational life. That's what people think about this now the problem with a rational bug man life is that it's based on Well, really it's constrained by our The layers of our ignorance so to speak that is our knowledge is never complete when we Decide on something that's rational in fact if you want a more robust strategy You rely on your traditions because those have worked for the longest time So when you're out in the real life, you know, you know take something like you know What what I do in my my wage-cucking job or you know sort of part-time thing You know, I work do carpentry and stuff like that now you could rationally Look up how to be a carpenter. You could even watch YouTube videos, you know about people doing it But that's not the same thing is actually getting in there and understanding what's going on And that's that's sort of the difference even if you your your reason is constrained by what is read in front of your face Whereas long-term traditions which are honed by I guess You know by the survivability so to speak They're not the same thing there. There's a even if you don't understand why they make sense sometimes they do now Anyway, you can say oh you just blah blah blah you post your reddit comments in the you know comments section I'm not gonna read them anyway But when it comes down to it compare the bug men in your life where they are at 30 with the non bug men in your life Where they are at 30 because when you're 16 or something sure many of you kids are still 16 It seems it seems really cool to be a bug man atheist. It seems really cool to Throw everything away. It seems really cool to you know Be an arcosyndicalist and all this stuff But as you go on there's a huge difference between bug men and non bug men and Bug men cannot survive without a hive. That's the fact of the matter. They don't exist as individual people And yeah, they're really just lame. That's what I'm trying to say. So anyway, I'll see you on the next episode of Smith Wars


Hey Amelia we're slacking everybody has picked up except for us. I know we're gonna lose the race. Oh man. I'm gonna late start and lose the race today. Did you find some Iowa coffee? I found some Iowa coffee. How is it? It's like the best cup of coffee ever. That sun feels so good. We didn't have any sun yesterday which was very nice it kept it cool but I am a fan of the sun I am from Colorado we get a lot of sunny days. So the sun is what charges me up. It's time for another day. I'm excited it's been really fun to share this with Amelia. I think she thinks it's bonkers but in a great way. I think she's loving it.  Thank you ground. That was a good spot. It was great. You ready to ride bikes? Ready to ride bikes. Let's do it. The sun is shining. Goodbye Pocahontas baseball fields. Have a good day everybody. It may be early but it's not too early for interviews. Here's my first one my new friend here Marco what's up. Never too early man never too early. Hi I'm Marco from California and I want to say I'm basically here at Rag Bride because of this guy. Last year was our first year my wife and I and we found out about this event because of Ryan and his YouTube channel and now we're addicted. We're back this year we're going to be back next year for the 50th and this is just an absolute blast. They just threw a huge party in Pocahontas last night and I did not get enough sleep but I am so looking forward to today. So our first order of business today is to find the gravel route. Where are you gravel? Bye Rag Bride. Most bikes on Rag Bride are road bikes so they wouldn't be able to deal with this but we can because she's on the 600x. And this is a first for me. I've never done the gravel option on Rag Bride. I'm excited to try it out and have a new experience out here. I'm liking this Iowa gravel. It's definitely slower than pavement of course but it's fun and there's a lot fewer people so we can just kind of hang around and think about life right? Totally and just listen to the sound of tires on gravel which is one of my favorite noises. Hi Amelia Shadow. Hi. How you feeling? Fantastic. Love it out of it. I don't like this open road. More of an introvert than Ryan but everyone is more of an introvert than Ryan. So this is a nice break up of Rag Bride for me. Just like fewer people, nature, sound of gravel under the tires. All the good things. All the good things. Look at that view. It's so beautiful. So we don't miss out on all the fun. The gravel route looks like it does meet up in some of the towns with the regular route and here we are. Here's all of our friends. Your bike's awesome. Look at that cool thing. So I've talked about how there's not great vegetarian options on Rag Bride but they're almost always our pickles on a stick somewhere and pickles are good for preventing cramps. Right? Is that right? It's actually kind of a lie but we like to believe it. I was just a buzzkill there. Yeah why did it have to be a buzzkill? It's just like the magic vegetable. These are tattoos of all the streets that I've cycled. I've got New York City in my right arm here and then I have Chicago here and I just keep adding to them every time I visit and this Rag Bride route I get all my Rag Bride routes on my legs. What inspired this idea? I really got into these artists from Paris in the 60s and they would wander the streets of Paris and make these cool maps and I thought I could do a modern version of that. I've kind of just become my life. It's called Psycho Geography. That's cool. What do you have planned for here? Nothing yet. Maybe Paris. That's awesome. So I've seen a lot of interesting bikes on Rag Bride but I've never seen BMX bikes and there's three ombrés right here riding BMXs. What inspired this? This is what we normally ride anyway and I convinced two unfortunate folks to ride with me. So these wheels are 24 inches which is quite a bit smaller than you know a normal bike and they definitely only have one gear so that's why these guys are working real hard. Oh man this house is for sale. We could live in Iowa. It would be much cheaper than Boulder. Yeah a little cheaper than Boulder for sure. House for sale. We saw a sign back there for a historical marker. I'm a sucker for historical markers when I ride my bike and we're going to go check it out. So it looks like this is an old cemetery from 1858 or maybe 858 who knows. We died in a late 18 long ago but because they lived in a completely different world. I mean no technology like we know of today and it's fun to put yourself back at that time and think what life must have been like. There was definitely no Rag Bride back then. You enjoying gravel day? I love gravel day. I like the wide open roads and just quiet but it's a super fun option you know. If you really really like the crowds and that's your jam then you always have the road but for like one day of the week it's kind of nice just to be out here amongst all the corn.  All right we just met up with the route again and it's time to play Frogger. Yeah you know another thing I'm loving about this gravel route is that we're seeing real nature not just cultivated land look at those wild trees look how beautiful they are oh and look a swamp a real live swamp. Are alligators in there? They're coasters alligators. So we've been riding by hundreds of miles of corn fields I figured we should try some of this stuff although most of the corn that we're riding by is not for human consumption it's for animals. This is sweet corn. How's that Iowa sweet corn? Really good. Really good. Having that corn on the top forever. So these Iowa corn people are really cool they have a mobile truck every day and they have a little educational interactive museum in there and you come out here and the corn is free and they set up all week long it's pretty sweet. So somebody told us about this grotto and we're looking at it now on our left hand side and it looks fantastical. I don't really know what to say about this.  All right Amelia give me some Catholic history. Yeah well I'm I it's been a while since I've done this but I think this is what it is that these are super super ornate stations of the cross so you'll see Catholics who go around and then at each station like this they say a little prayer totally butchering this sorry mom and dad um but uh it's like the most ornate one that I've ever seen uh it's it's pretty fantastic I'm not gonna lie church stuff can be generally very ornate but I've never seen it ornate in terms of using geodes and rocks and whatnot you know you normally see a lot of gold and and things um so this is like the most unique thing that I've ever seen but uh yeah you know what this reminds me of in Casa Bonita the famous restaurant in Colorado there's all these fun caves black Bart's cave that is the final station of the cross and what do you do at the final station I don't remember sorry bad Catholic but yeah that's when Jesus is in the arms of his mother so what's the history how did it all start so the grotto of the redemption was started in 1912 by father Paul domerstein who immigrated here to the west from Germany and when he was 20 years old he entered the seminary in Iowa and two weeks before he was supposed to be ordained in 1898 he came down with double pneumonia and he prayed to Mary saying that if she were to heal him he would build a shrine in her honor and he eventually did get better and was placed here at St. Peter and Paul Parish and started building the grotto of the redemption in 1912 wow and so why all the rocks and gems and stones like what was his inspiration um so he immigrated here when he was 20 years old so he actually took courses on geology in college before he immigrated here so he knew how to like build rocks and like how to form them and where to find them here right on and how many people live in this town I have to like 900 900 so this is a pretty big deal for a small town yeah absolutely and how are we going to take them to build this whole thing 80 years he actually died before it was completed so he died in 1954 and then his successor another priest finished it in 1992 how many visitors do you get a year um I would say around 37 000 I love stuff like this it puts a smile on my face and even though I didn't grow up religious and I don't really know about any of this I just love when humans get creative and this is the pinnacle of creativity it's his life's work which just inspires me to keep on creating it's awesome whoa what'd you find a pond a pond or somebody's pond it looks tropical look at this blue water I know let's see oh yeah oh yeah whoa oh yeah this feels good oh that's nice and cool how's it going you're making friends Amelia I'm making friends I found a new boyfriend oh you did yes that's okay you're really

Dan and he has a very inspirational story Dan how you doing buddy I'm feeling great man loving rag bride 2022 this is awesome love it so tell me how you got here what's the road to rag bride so my road's pretty unique um back in 2013 a healthy guy training was a runner trained for a 10k had a stroke just out of nowhere dropped the ground end up in the hospital for a week still a lot of unanswered questions but I've really been pushing myself to run and do it so after the stroke I was like you know this could have really changed my life this could have ended my life so I'm going to continue to kind of go after these different athletic challenges so from there I went from a 10k to a half marathon to a full marathon to ultra marathons start jumping on a bike my buddy Doug who's on the air force team said hey you should do rag bride I'm like how many miles is it um so he told me and uh I'll give this a shot so now I'm here doing rag bride uh trying to live my best life how'd you have a stroke at a young age man you know 33 years old it was random uh I got up I got up for work one day and I was ready to go and then just dropped to the floor crazy dizzy just just dropped and uh I have no idea what happened wife take me took me to the hospital I spent a week there and it's like I'm really scared I don't know what happened is it is it a tumor what's going on and they wheeled in the MRI and said you know uh you had a stroke here's five infarcts you actually had a stroke and it was scary I feel very blessed to be alive very blessed to be able to do these things and so when something like rag bride comes up it's like if I'm going to live my best life and and go after this and really make it make a change and really push myself after the stroke this is how we're gonna do it so yeah yeah your life I imagine is better now post stroke post stroke you know I'm married have two wonderful kids my wife supports all my athletic ventures she's very proud of what's going on I

while ago about two guards down on on your left what's a maid right ground up hamburger loose meat oh okay we've been seeing signs for a long time about the national hobo museum I have no clue what this is all about but I bet it's going to be interesting so what is a hobo so the conventional definition of a hobo is a person who travels to work there is still debate though in the hobo community whether or not a hobo must ride freight trains or just be anyone who independently travels to work by independent I'm referring to someone who travels independently of any company or corporation and basically does their own thing although people think that hobo history began during the great depression hobo history actually began after the civil war the first hobos were civil war veterans who they came back from serving in the civil war struggled to reintegrate in society so they created their own social support network and decided to use freight trains to travel around and look for any work they could find and then in the great depression when a lot of people lost their jobs or unemployed a lot of them took to the rails to look for work they could find as well but what we're looking at here is artifacts from past hobo conventions in fact when this museum was first created it was a hobo convention museum and then it became later a museum with artifacts of things at hobos war some of the artifacts here to specific hobos so I came to the convention for the first time in 2004 and I just fell in love with it and then I decided that I wasn't going to become a hobo but I was also going to pursue a career as a traveling autism advocate I am autistic and I got hired ever since out of high school my lin high school to go to various parts of America including towns smaller than brits to to give presentations on autism awareness I get my hobo name the piper because I play the recorder and I'm actually going to play a song that is very well known in the hobo community the hobo

Congrats, Casey And guys we are down to just eight to go on Megadual case 2020 NT When you tweet something too many times it says you already said that under lights So I just had a bunch of exclamation points No, I said that already with 13 exclamation points after it. So gotcha Twitter that works 8 to go again gets you a 10 at national promo spots 10 Yellow Najee Harris to 150 Kurt Warner Austin Eckler to 149 under lights auto nice one for the Chargers That's cool Matthew s I can have dominance Jerry Rice is under lights Joe Burrow Mark Swear Levis Clayton tune glass on the past Michael Strayhan Cool one there That is a under lights Michael Meyer many for the Raiders Bryce young price prospects Panthers Marvin Mims Orange my homes in Montana to 249 for the cheats And if that we get one of the dual players like the Watt brothers, and there's one other one We will do a nice roll any RPAs Our dual autos will go bet Big Ben will we'll just do a random for them Do like a physical random for those Vernon Davis to a hundred on the holographs auto for the Niners that's sick grad San Fran love it dude Maryland legend Maryland tariff ins legend That'd be cool, that'd be really cool Derek Henry to 299 a Marvin Mims. Yes, actually yesterday and personals by the way, what's up randiam and say hi Um He uh, Kyle pulled a Michael can Fordo talker taco fractor last night in a personal For I believe for Jeffrey. There's Daniel Jones Yeah, Vernon Davis was awesome dude. He was just so consistent too. He was just like Just such a great weapon for so many years uh mini tanner McKee to 75 a hendon hooker prize prospects Woodson Krauss and Sean Hucker Tank Dell to 50 42 of 50 for the Texans Jalen Carter chrome rookie for the Eagles Yeah, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Frank Gore plus the defense was nasty. You had like Patrick Willis Justin Smith Alden Smith Navarro Bowman Dante Wittner Dishon Goldstein that was such a good team to 299 Cole Comet not good enough to beat the Ravens with Superbowl though Generations of the Marcus wear Michael Parsons. Yeah, that was that was a really good San Fran team Really good San Fran team Uh, Dick Buckess decade of dominance Yeah, that's a good Potential Randy for sure at 199 Barry Sanders CJ Stroud I'll root so hard for the Niners in the Super Bowl if they make it just so they the Steelers don't have the most Super Bowls In history, so like they're tied Zach Evans Otto, you know it Uh, he was a ram, I believe. Yeah, all right. We'll check that just to be safe Yep, going to the Rams Anthony Richardson Christian Gonzalez for the Patriots the 50 Sorry, Randy. I mean, sorry, Yogi Yeah, it's I think it's all going to come down to uh, how their quarterback plays Michael Michael Meyer I still think the the lack of experience at quarterback could come back to bite them potentially That is a givante mini Warren moon glass from the past That is redemption Jackson Smith and jigba rookie premium penmanship orange nice jsn going to the seahawks to 299 Jalen Carter cries prospects Hershel Walker and base And what when you're sorting yeah Price young onto the lights the 50 nice one there for the Panthers I think are good. I know I totally forgot about Tim Brown. There's Aaron Donald to 75 on the mini decade of dominance Joe thyson Tim Brown and Jim Brown mix though, that's funny um No, I think I think pick it should take a big step forward this year. I definitely do I just think it's so if you're like a fringe good team in the afc It's it you're in trouble. That's the only thing so teams like the tight ends the Colts Like the dolphins are all like fringe good teams Been in shock all night of the west ham shirt Yeah, one of our one of our customers in england is like pretty well connected with west ham.   Yeah That is a shon clippard 249 for the packers rookie jersey otto. That's green bay Nice one there again guys mega dual case down to eight to go eight to go Get that filled up eight to go Orange is will levis to 149 titans Yeah, the sake one today. I can't imagine when jones got all that money sake one was very happy about that Peyton to 299 like understandably. I know it's gonna happen with that I'm interested to see what's gonna happen with the running back market Some of the proposed changes make make a lot of sense though. Can there was talking about that? Devon witherspoon in youtube a few days ago, which was really um, basically, uh Your pay would be based on usage And running back contracts out of college would be two years instead of four So if you have two really good years, you can go out and sign a deal for like another four years or something It makes more sense. You don't have as much tread There's brace young Jeff saturday because my only thing with jonathan taylor It's like, I don't know how much longer he's gonna last because they used him so much at wisconsin Yeah, he they just drove him like they do that with all their running backs They just drive them in the ground True Like it happened with like monty ball is another big like example like he was just he was so like Like done by the time he got to the NFL christian Gonzalez Melvin gordon's kind of another example like he had a great first couple of years and then just was not good anymore He went to wisconsin as well That is going to be trevor lorenz to 75 Gotta do a dice roll on this one two three top four five six bottom for the rest of the break Unless it's like a 10 or lower Then we'll do it own random two going to go to the top. That's true. Did dalvin cook had like I did not see that actually I did not see that. Uh, yogi. What the kwan robinson sign with the uh steelers Um, I know that's a good point randy said like going top Yes, we'll go to the top If dalvin cook Kent is a free agent and he has four consecutive 1100 yards years like Then Like who's gonna Who's gonna pay that now darnel washington on the lights a flower silver Oh kwan alexander. I got you. Yeah, he's actually pretty good. He's a good linebacker There's a von miller to 2.99 Yeah, wisconsin did ruin melvin gordon in my opinion They I think I feel like wisconsin always like they always have great running masks come out of there But they use them too much. That's marvin mim's To 149. There's a little dent on the bottom there. I'm gonna send an empty box and wrap her with the broncos Like the issue with running max. It's like you have to have some like you have to be a good runner and you have to have something like You have to also have something else you do like macafery gets a thousand receiving yards a year like derrick henry is six foot four Like nobody can tackle derrick henry one on one, you know what I mean? So like those guys who get the big contracts. They have another aspect to the game in my opinion I feel like if you're not receiving back, you're not making right. Oh trendilfer for the ravens.  Holy cow, man. That's awesome alex smith There's chris carter for the dolphins to 199 Will levis. Yeah for net was like I mean he was projected to be like The heisman winner at lse when he came in he was like he was supposed to be the next like guy I mean once he got healthy kind of was yeah, true. I mean no one smith. He had a good in my opinion. He did well in Tampa Like he was pretty good in in jackson bill. He just had like attitude problems. I think in jackson bill I thought it was injury Nick chubb to 125. I think it was a bit of both. So be honest. I think he wasn't like Very keen on the coaching Not judon to 150 like from what I heard like before doug peterson got there like the organization Pretty trash. Yeah Outside of that one a fc championship here. Yeah, that gave dominant staffer But they just had like a stack like they had like five guys on defense who left and worked with starters elsewhere Right, that was a crazy part Right. No, I agree on that randy Zay flowers to 149 under the light for the ravens ravens picking up two autos here. Very nice. Congrats on that baltimore eric diggerson orange marcus allen to 249 josh downs They limit pitches. No, I agree on that. I agree on that There's under lights daniel jones See randy the only thing that is the counter argument to that is now like Hey, why am I going to give a running pack? 60 million dollars if I'm going to limit his carries, you know what I mean If you can only carry 20 times a game, why am I going to give you 60 million dollars? That's true. You know, it's also like so there's a little bit of a counterpoint. It's a hard It's such a difficult situation, dude Eight to go. Yeah, randy. I mean, uh yogi. I hate to admit it But the the Steelers look like they could be pretty decent this year Again, it's just the afc. It's tough. It's the toughest conference of the two Especially the afc north. I got reggie busch give it. We need to reggie busch needs his heisman back They need to give reggie busch's heisman back Because it was like recruiting allegation like violation James Harrison, I mean that whole entire like school got that is aiden o'Connell to 299 rookie jersey auto for the raiders Nice one there, right exactly. It's it's like Jordan Addison, uh nick bosa to 299 blast from the past montana It's like, you know with how much quarterbacks make now, then you got to pay your edge rusher Uh dare to tear jordan addison for the vikings to 65. Nice congrats on that one I forgot they got alan robinson. That's true who did um The uh, jordan addison again the steelers did Oh No, girl. He's a good example levion bell is another example like um Zeke aliot melvin gordon. They all got big deals and they weren't great after Venetieri I know I don't know what the real is that I agree on that randy. I have no idea Uh clayton tune 21 of 50 auto for the cardinals Nice one there arizona Uh tyree wilson for the raiders to 50 It is I think it really is That's joe thysman to 25 uh rishi rice Because the only real way you could theoretically Uh, yes, the only way you could in my opinion theoretically pay a running back a lot of money Is if your quarterbacks still in a rookie deal like that's the only way. Yeah, I like within san franc I guess I'm a little different with the titans and tana hills. They gave tana hill a decent amount of money Miles murphy Yeah, washington's gonna be good too There's jaylon hyatt michael urban Yeah, like I was saying earlier. I think before you came in rta Like if you if you're running back and you want to get a huge contract. I feel like you need to have Outside of being a great ball like a great runner. You have to have one additional aspect to your game that puts you ahead Uh, andre read to 249. There's rishi rice Like cmc obviously is like a uh thousand thousand guy every year thousand receiving thousand rushing Like the thing with derrick henry is like he's like I said this earlier.  Good luck guys Sauce blue of terrace marshal jr to 50 a for the ages russ michael urban And still a quick recap of our auto. Oh no, we gotta do a points random first Points random Um, all right guys, it's gonna do uh rolled the dice whatever teams on top after Seven dice rolls. We'll get the points one two three four five six and seven texans gonna get the points Good stuff there houston a clayton tune eight of no connell. Oh, that's stuff Zay flowers that is uh trent dillford shawn clifford jason smith and jigba zack evans vernon davis boston eckler rishi rice and darnell washington I'll do it for the break guys.
