They just don't know where to look. A few months ago, we had a reception on the White House lawn for some of America's latest heroes, the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and the rest of them, taking pictures of them and introducing them to their parents as heroes. All of us can be very ashamed of the people they'll sell to. Yesterday, those bad young people braved guerrilla violence and sabotage to do what we take for granted, cashed their votes for president. And some who, in their legislative activities, have not looked at too much favor from what we've been doing. But the calls we're getting back are always just complete enthusiasm of the hero. There are people who knew the risks and the overwhelming effort that could be retired, required, but were undeterred from their goals, even in the women everywhere, and we're grateful. Now let me read the citations and present the medals to each recipient. The first, and an individual whose character shined brightly, as an example to us, Howard Baker has been a force for responsibility and civility on a generation of Americans. It has almost been said he has left his mark not only on the film industry, but on the hearts of all his fellow Americans.   As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whitaker Chambers will it all open and inspire. Take for human kindness a great million dear to this fellow country. America is a nation richer in spirit because of Tennessee's economy. In descent, over the years he has faithfully represented our government to numerous occasions overseas and domestically. Dr. Hector Garcia was a credit to his family and community and to all Americans. As an author and entrepreneur who dedicated after the Jackie Robinson's good talk among his peers, his courage over the door of professional sports took a mighty blow for equality, freedom, and the American way of life. Jackie Robinson was a good citizen, a great man, and a true American chef. He's been one of the technical examples of democracy in action. And all we've had back here are the news accounts which did indicate to us that there were some efforts made to interrupt what was going on down there and if they didn't succeed, you won't mind if I burn up the matter if I hope that we didn't have an emergency. I'm sorry. If they have a runoff election now, I'm not sure now that we'll be able to maybe have better protection of the polls than that, but I didn't mean to go back in here. You won't talk in the way you were saying. You weren't hearing about you when you were down there. Jim, I understand you had something that the hair wouldn't have after the runoff. That is a really, I'm glad you had it. If you had any problems. I don't know anything of it. I hadn't really heard anything you did. Mr. President, I think all of us will agree on some basic things. We went and found out in different parts of the country and among us I suppose covered a greater part of that country than any news team conceivably fit it. I estimate that I may have talked to 400 to 500 citizens in five different towns and when you multiply that kind of thing among all the rest of us, Sol Marquise took a transcription of interviews, man in the street interviews in Spanish with people down there and he said it's just a really amazing thing. Those people want democracy. And when you see people standing in the streets hot sun, you ask them how long they've been standing there. They say, well, I got here at eight o'clock and then you see it's almost 10 30. And they aren't grumbling, they're not complaining. They're happy, they're joyous. They're really grateful to be participating in this kind of a process. They believe in it. All of the negative things, the fact that terrorists did prevent some from voting by stealing and destroying their voter registration cards, the fact that the bureaucracy made some errors in an overzealous desire to protect the ballot with a sort of complicated system guarantees against any taint of corruption. And that made it hard for some people to vote. But when you've said all those things, you come down to the bottom line about 70% of the people did vote and their votes got counted. And that's better than we've ever done recently in this kind of presidential election. I really don't believe that in the average American city, we would see citizens standing in a hot sun, first-person rolling down their faces for three hours, waiting the privilege to vote, uncomplaining, happy, and not grumbling about anything. So I just, I came away with a renewed conviction that with all the mortal faults of an electoral system, we have them in our state as a, last time they had them, there's no more in our state and in certain other states. With all the uncertainties that surround that, I think these people have demonstrated their earnest desire for a free democratic society. And I believe they're entitled to that. And Senator Roth and I have both said about that same thing. He's arranging with Howard Baker and others to have the Ambassador if you would agree is coming here Wednesday to talk to. Hello, thanks for coming. Hello, how are you? Go ahead and split the floor to first collect. How are you? How are you? How are you? So you were going to get some stuff. Yes. It's done by the Maryland House of Illinois. We see you, John Layton from Colorado, Senator Sperdell with the Washington Office. Thank you. Should I get in? Yes, thank you very much. We appreciate this time. I have a place to see you all of you here. I have to tell you a lot of my happy experiences in the California business myself. Rancho comes from raising horses. The Reds and the Central run a greater cattle. One day in the state of California I got noticed that I was in a blue cellosis. Oh no. Oh no. That's right. That's right. I was in a state of Illinois running a speech. I mean, I should have left it around. Then they sent the vet to give a shot. Now I know I'm your president and that's the efficiency of government you've cracked. Well, I never forget the experience that I was asking him. You know the thing about that? And I was asking the vet while he was doing a little work in there in the hot sun all day. And I said, well, what happens if you find that they have blue cellosis? Well, he said, anyway, I was seven. And I said, well, what do you mean seven? Well, he said, blue cellosis only affects the milk. He said, not for me. And I said, well, now wait a minute. And then he says, he said, then you get from federal government of the state $75 a head to the fact that you'd have to make the force save. And I said, no, wait a minute. I mean, I just have one more question. I said, wait a minute, I would have to serve these steers. I'm the marketer and I get the money from them. And then I got $75 a head from them. And I said, yes. I said, my last question is, where can I find some more cattle for blue cellosis? I had to decide to fight them all the time I was doing it. And either way, yeah, we're trying to take the ground. I haven't forgotten that experience. Was there anything you'd like John to take back to 200 national directors and state countless directors from youth, sir? We're meeting here in town this week. They'll be fanning back out to 50 states. Just my warmest regard and sympathetic understanding.  I've kind of whittled that down a lot of my absence to wear this thing. Just a few for beef. You can't run out of any steers anymore. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Brett. See you. And congratulations. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thanks a lot. See you. One more word for you. I'm President. I'm here, sir. I'm glad to see you. This is Mayhem Abel. It's a pleasure. Mayhem. My pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I have this as a first-start house. I'd like this to be given to the first lady. I'm going to ask if Confederate meeting was held. And ironically, this is Abel Wilkins' first organized meeting was held. So I'd like you all to have this, and also this as an account of his chunky cat on the bone, Abel Wilkins. This is from a grateful little town in South Carolina. And you don't know how much this means to us, Mr. Brett. Well, thank you very much. We're very grateful to you for letting us have this time. I think I'd cut out this part here. Let's wait till he signs it. Thank you very much. Be here to swing down through South Carolina in a few months. Please stop by. Are we going to show you a good time, Mr. Brett? Now, these pens really do write more than just this one word, but they're built sometimes. The Norse of Electricity. I'll give you a may of mine. I'll keep them all kind of. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Brett. Thank you, Mr. Brett. Let's move right out. Now, if you folks don't miss it, very proud of this country. I can't. We don't do that. Thank you very much. Thank you. You'll be back for a moment. Yes, sir. Like me. Just three of us. Okay. Thank you. God bless. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Oh, man. How are you? Nice to see you, Mr. President. That is the picture here. I kind of miss the old place myself. Mr. Brett. This is Mr. Robert Gander. Mr. Robert Gander, Grace Gander, Mr. Span Tarrison, Mr. Barbara Warner-Grant, Mr. Brigid Murphy, Dr. Irving Runner. Well, this is, first of all, I think the American Cancer Society is one of the great examples of popular tourism and I think that I understand about 2,300,000 out there at the grassroots level. And Amanda, it's my pleasure to present to you the American Cancer Society with some courage in it winning over cancer, but also to help others by talking about it. Thank you very much for this wonderful honor. I just want to say that this is really better than the Academy Awards. I've got the President of the United States as the presenter. I really do appreciate it. It's a great honor for me and it's something that I treasure for all of my life. I also want to thank the staff and all the volunteers at the American Cancer Society for choosing me to receive this award. And even though my name is on the certificate, I want to share it with all of the wonderful volunteers who are so dedicated in helping people that have been inflicted with this insidious disease. And we want to reaffirm our dedication to making sure that in the future that cancer will be just something that we read about in history books. I don't know if there are too many progress that this society is helping, but they've made it in that field. And we're simply the three million that have fought the same battle with one. Thank you very much. We're good to meet you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, thanks so much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Hers was cancer of the mouth. Her whole mouth had to be restructured and rebuilt. And then she had to learn and take therapy to learn to speak again. Boy, you could never tell. Hungarian Americans. Oh, yeah. They have a very small painting you'll bring in for it here. This is the one. This is it. Come on, let's just sit here. Nice things about it. Who's it portrait of? It's one you can put in your back pocket. It's a poster to stay inside. Yeah. The Vice President showed it to us before. You'll see. We have another artist. This is Andy. Mr. Mann, nice meeting you. Nice to meet you. Mr. Adrian Mann. Pleasure and nice meeting you. You might meet after Max, the artists that make the presentation. First from Africa, then the boys. This came from the space, from the satellite, through the K-Bow team, you said. So we use as much video as we could and as much as we could do, and here's one of the portraits we have created of you. Thank you very much. In honor of all the Zengarians and all the freedom fighters and for all the freedom that is stand for us, we present this to you. Well, I thank you and I accept it, not just for you who are here now on fighting this, but I think for all the Zengarians who are fighting for freedom. And we shall never forget that. They must have that. Yes. And as many as still photographs as we could get. Hundreds of all thousands of photographs. Finally, I achieved the man. I got the same suit on. They told us the best when you were. Mr. President, as I said to Mr. Lingus before, at least America saw all your news presentations and social TV coverages. He knows all your policies in and out. No, I think we can do better for it than that. What? We'll do better by it than that one. Well, that wasn't bad. Still a lot of proportion. The head was off a little bit. You couldn't stare at the way we were from back there, but it still was out of proportion a little bit. I have to say of all of it, it's one of the nicer ones that you've gotten. Expression. We go from portraits now to 44 magnums. You ready for Bobby? What was the difference, the head too big? The head was too big for the rest of the body again. His little body was my character. Because that's my problem. My head is too small. Mr. President, we've got the gentleman from Smith & Wesson here. Hi, Mr. President. How are you doing, Dean? Nice meeting you. Nice to see you, Mr. President. Good to see you. It's good to see you, sir. I'd like to present that to you, Mr. President. And we don't want to keep the snakes away. I better show them the case. Okay. That's a 44 camera. That's a 44? Right. And it's functional on every respect, sir. We've done a number of things that I'm sure that you're going to recognize. I haven't shown you that. You have a 44. Is it Dean? That's a long answer. This one is a bit more white than this one. The first time you shoot this, you're going to get... It's interesting. It's very interesting. You will rest it. Well, maybe. That's true. That's very interesting.


My faith in Hob has been rewarded. It's corny, but I love it anyway. Yay for Hob. He gives Joe Abercrombie a run for his money. That sounds dumb. Great. No shade is a masterpiece. It has become something of a tradition on this channel that I review Robin Hob books in January while wearing a made well-plated shirt. So here we are again. It is January. I am wearing the traditional garb and I am here to review the Mad Ship by Robin Hob. Like all the other Hob I read, I buddy read this with Mar from books like Low. We are traversing the realm of the Elderlings together and plan to get through a much bigger chunk of the realm of the Elderlings in 2022. I have the plan right now as to read a book every other month. But in any event, Mad Ship is the second book of the Life Ship Trader series. And this is quite different from the Farsie or Trilogy. The Farsie or Trilogy I was very impressed by. I loved it so much. Royal Assassin the second book was my favorite, but the whole trilogy as a whole is a masterpiece. And then the Life Ship Traders, but I heard a lot of people say is miles away better than Farsie or they definitely prefer it to Farsie or. And I love Farsie or so much that I was like, either that means it's so different from it that like I'll feel the opposite or like, wow, it must be really impressive if it's so much better than something that I think is truly excellent. And luckily it has been more or less the latter. I still cannot say that I think that it is overall better or that I love it more than Farsie or, but I am very impressed with it. And not least because it is so different from Farsie or this isn't a situation where the author has like found a formula that works for them and they're sticking with it. And I mean, you know, if there is an author that has found a formula that works for them and they're good at it, like if that works for you, great, no shade. But Hobb is definitely doing new and exciting things, or at least a new in terms of this is not what she was doing with Farsie or. So it is just a delight to watch her stretch other muscles and show up other talents while still very much keeping the core of that exceptional character work and that deep sort of emotional storytelling that is very much present in Farsie or here. You just have a lot more characters, a totally different type of setting, a totally different type of plot, different stakes, different situational together. But that core of like you really get to know these characters on a soul deep level is touching at times, but it is also aggravating at times because she writes very flawed characters. Similarly to Farsie or, in Farsie or there is a magic to do with sort of communing with animals, which if hearing about that, and I said this before about Farsie, I was like, if I heard, if I had known or someone was talking about a book or book series where they basically talk to animals, I'd be like, that sounds dumb, but she pulls it off in a way that feels so good and not dumb even in the least. It's not like, well, it's corny, but I love it anyway. It's not corny. It is so good. It's like, I wouldn't have thought, but you did it. And here we have sentient talking ships, like ships on an ocean. And again, if I hadn't been for having read Farsie and even actually having read Farsie or hearing that, I was like, I mean, I trust that Hobb is good at this, but I'm having a lot of trouble picturing that and not being stupid. But once again, my faith in Hobb has been rewarded. Having live ships, which is what the series is named after, is it's been incredible. They are fully fleshed out characters that are flawed and yet they aren't just people. Like they are different from people. They are ships. And so like their experience of life, their priorities, their emotional situation is determined by and defined by the fact that they are ships.  And so in the mad ship, there is a ship that you get to know or know of in the first book that is kind of regarded as a mad ship. And I was talking to Mara about this and given that this ship, given that the assumption or presumption would be when you pick this up, that the mad ship would be that ship that we learned about in the first book and that this would kind of be like that ship's book. He's certainly in it and he's more in it than he was in the first one. But I wouldn't really say this is his book. And I kind of feel like, and I mean, this might, I don't know that this is the case, but I kind of feel like she's making the point that all of the ships are mad. There is a mad ship that people actively refer to as the crazy one, but there is a degree of madness to all of the ships as far as I can tell. But anyway, the character work in these books gives Joe Abercrombie a run for his money in terms of being like the best at characters. There was a character that throughout the first book and for a good chunk of the second book, I kind of really hate it. And by the end of this second book, I kind of really loved that character. And it wasn't like a 180 turn where she suddenly becomes a completely different person. It's still very much that same character, but there's so much believable growth and development with that character. And it even miss sort of, not that, I mean, the things I hated about that character, I would still find aggravating, that there's just a lot of growth to that character. So like well done. And just over, I mean, it's kind of tough to talk about because it's the second book in this really epic sort of series and there's a lot crammed into these books.  And I mean, the way that the first book ended, I knew that sort of had some idea, sort of what directions we could be going in the second book. And yet she managed to still surprise me. I mean, we sort of went in some of those directions because you'd sort of have to. That's what's set up. But I managed very much to be surprised by both character choices and about sort of the results of their actions. But again, not in a way where I'm like, well, that came out of left field. It's all very earned and it all makes sense while still unfolding in a way that is surprising and engaging and interesting. I feel even more for these characters. I love them more. They are growing closer to my heart. I mean, it's hard to spend that much time with Farsier and compare that to the relatively short amount of time that you spend with each of these characters because they're all competing for attention in the space in the book as opposed to being the central figure. But they still, I don't feel like anyone's really sort of shafted. I mean, everyone is really getting fleshed out and attention is being paid to each of their situations in emotional states. And Robin Hobb just continues to impress me. I mean, these are chunky books, but they are so compelling that you cannot stop reading it. And they're sort of very grim things, very epic things. So that in that sense, too, gives, I would probably run for his money because there's some pretty dark stuff in these books. It's more just certain in terms of, it is not as cynical or nihilistic or in that sense, dark as Abercrombie. There is a more sort of like hopeful note to the way that this is approached, or at least the eyes to which UV was going up. And I am just fascinated. And I have so many questions that I look forward to getting the answers to, which I very much have confidence that we'll get satisfying answers. And yeah, it's just a fascinating world with even more fascinating lore because we're delving into other sort of magics that do now more so in this book. I'm starting to see sort of how this kind of ties into the world and magic that you did learn about in Farsier. This is still a sort of very different part of the map, different things going on, different types of characters, a different situation, but you see how this all sort of like fits in the realm of the elderlings and how that it is a sort of unified world and how these magics do tie in to the magics that you learned about in the first book. So I'm like, I'm loving to see, at first, you know, the first Life Should Creators book, I was like, wow, this is like a whole different other thing.  And now it's starting to see kind of how this is part of the whole is kind of very exciting and satisfying. So yeah, I'm just absolutely, I'm gobsmacked. I'm loving Hobb. So excited that she's such a prolific author because having, finding a good author and finding an author that writes a lot, those individually are pretty, I wouldn't say easy to do, but yeah, it's doable. Finding a good author that writes a lot, now that's just the dream. So yay for Hobb. And yeah, I cannot wait to reach up a destiny. I'm so excited to see where all of this goes, what more I learned, what questions are answered, what new mysteries are unlocked and where they take us. And then yeah, I'm fully, I'm super excited to then go on from there to the rest of the realm of the elderlings because yeah, just, and I've heard that Tawny Man is even better than Farsier or alive ship, which is hard to imagine, but I believe you because I mean, she has been everything and more that people have led me to believe. So all right, I can't wait for Tawny Man. But yeah, loving, loving, loving the live ship traders. Highly recommend if you haven't read it. And I think you should start with Farsier, but you could start with live ship. I've heard people say that, and yeah, you could. I don't think there's anything in it that's like, don't be impossible to understand. I believe there are spoilers for Farsier in this. I think I don't really feel like I've seen anything like that yet, but I believe that there will be. So I'm guessing that in Ship of Destiny is where we're gonna see more concrete, direct spoilers for something that happens in Farsier. So, but otherwise, you know, if this appeals to you more than Farsier, then go for it because it's so good.

Let's now take you to other parts of Africa where plumes of smoke rose over Katerman's Sunday U.S. envoys from Sudan's warring parties were in Saudi Arabia for talks that international mediators hope will bring an end to a three-week-old conflict that has killed hundreds and triggered an hazardous. The U.S. Saudi initiative is the first serious attempt to end fighting between the Army and the paramilitary rapid support forces RSF that has done parts of the Sudanese capital Kateran into war zones and the road an internationally backed plan to usher in civilian rule following years of unrest and uprisings. Butters since mid-April have killed hundreds of people and wounded thousands of others, disrupted eight supplies and sent 100,000 refugees fleeing abroad. While mediators are seeking a path to peace, both sides have made it clear they would only discuss our humanitarian truths not negotiate an end to the war.


We have a pretty good sidewalk network, which needs more expansion. We've gotten away from the 80s, like we don't need them, because you can't do it in Vermont in the winter. We've gotten away from that. Now we need to understand that we've got the sidewalks, and they do need to be plowed. And they need to be plowed on a regular basis. I think I heard every two inches of snowfall. And we need to budget to do that. Our citizens shouldn't have to come and ask for their own little neighborhood piece to get plowed. And hat in hand in front of the select board to get this done. This should be a town priority. And Eric has, I think, indicated that he's working on. And Rick has as well, and so has the select board, a plan to acquire the necessary equipment, acquire the necessary workers to operate that equipment, and to get the job done. And the job should be all the sidewalks that we have in town, not just the chosen few. So I have a friend who walks to school every day. He lives like a little bit west of the border. But anyway, I've seen him walk in where the one sector he had like snowstorm or whatever storm he had. Soaping wet, because he's fallen down a trip, like accidentally fallen or something. Because of the snow, and I had a little bit of a pair of snow pairs, more than one. So he's not making every single seat in the classroom soaping wet. Thank you.


Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sossman joined today by Ricky Sanders of dailyrotor.com. We'll see you to break down tonight's NBA Slate. What's happening Ricky? Nothing. I'm already considering these rocket puns for tonight because we're not expected to have James Harden and Russell Westbrook and on dailyrotor.com we've already used Skyrockets in flight. We've already used Rocketman. So we're kind of all out of the music puns. I'm really lost here with what I'm going to do with these puns tonight. It's still a rocket roll to me, baby. There you go. There you go. There you go. I'm just going to ask, right? So it's all about the rockets tonight. We'll get to them in a moment. Let's start out with some of the stars that we're able to get in there because of the rockets. We begin at point guard. We begin. Luka Dončić. We have a six game slate tonight. So Luka Dončić isn't in the greatest of matchups, but he does have a really easy to fit 10, 900 price tag. Like we would probably be paying 12,000 for him tonight with all these rockets. Let's just be honest with ourselves. And now you've got him in the game with the highest total of the night, 226.5. So not an incredibly projected high-scoring night just in general. The Mavericks are listed as one-point road favorites, so we expect the game to remain competitive, and his rates have remained strong, even without Kristaps Borzingis. Over a 37.5% usage rate. Over a 48% assist rate. Over a 14.5% rebound rate. So he's just a guy in competitive games who's a threat for a triple double at any point. I mean, again, this matchup on paper does not jump off the page, but any risk associated with it is basically baked into this price tag. So I think he's the easy spend. I think he'll be very popular, but I think rightfully so. Luka's always super popular and rightfully so. Even though the matchup isn't what we ideally want, the one with Luka is never the wrong call. Dončić, a fine start tonight. With just a six game slate, you're able to get Luka in there and Jonathan Mitchell, who's been playing really well as of late, and although the price has increased, it's still too low. Exactly.  This is crazy because look, he's up to 7,600 and we're still playing him, which shows just how good of a value he was last week. Basically with Mike Connelly back, his rates haven't moved too drastically. I mean, we're still talking about a guy who we have at over a 31% usage rate baseline on daily roto. And look, this team's being implied to score six points above their season average. So Vegas expects some serious scoring from this team. And if they're going to score, we expect Donovan Mitchell to be involved in that. Even if the game blows out and we have a 12 point spread tonight, it's very likely that Donovan Mitchell is involved in the blowout. So three quarters of this jazz team smashing often means we get over 100 points in three quarters, so almost a game's worth of scoring. So I think almost in any scenario, Donovan Mitchell should be part of a fun game environment. And if this game stays close, he's just a legitimate run back from all the Houston guys we're going to be playing anyways. So Donovan Mitchell just a clear target at the shooting guard position. Absolutely no brainer to get Donovan Mitchell in your lineups. You want to stack that Houston Utah game. And even if it does become a blowout, Donovan Mitchell is going to be the reason it does. Mitchell, the no brainer option for the jazz. Sticking in this game. We get to Clint Capella with no Russell Westbrook expected to play. No James Harden expected to play a whole lot of Clint Capella. Makes sense on this slate. Yeah, we do not have a giant sample. In fact, we don't even really have a small sample without Russell Westbrook and James Harden playing alongside Clint Capella this year. We have 20 minutes of sample. But in this 20 minute sample, we've got Capella over an 18 percent assist rate and over a 33 percent rebound rate. And look, that just makes sense that we would see Capella's rebound rate skyrocket because Russell Westbrook is such a good rebound and guard that when you take him off the floor and you basically put four little guys alongside a big man and Clint Capella, it's obvious he's going to grab most of the rebounds. Now, obviously the individual match against Rudy Gaubert isn't great. And obviously we can't take those percentages in a 20 minute sample to be fact. So we've taken a more conservative route on Daily Roto and we project him for just about a 14 percent assist rate and just about a 26 percent rebound rate. And he's still basically projecting for the same number of fantasy points as Rudy Gaubert, who's 2000 more expensive. So I think Clint Capella going to fall into double digit rebounds by accident. It probably should be more than that. And he still have Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers active who can throw him lobs, maybe not as effectively as Harden and Westbrook, but they should be able to get him involved. I think this is just too cheap of a price point given the contacts. And I think this is just a guy we need to be playing tonight. I think it has to be in your lineup, no matter what that price is, and it's not too high. Even if it's a little sample size, we know the damage that he can do. Capella, another no-brainer option from this game. And let's stay in this game for a couple more players, Ricky. That brings us to Austin Rivers. He's going to get the opportunity to start with no Russell Westbrook and no James Harden. He's part of that backcourt that's going to take a lot of shots. I have no idea if I go in, but minutes will be there. Exactly. And minutes will be there for a player priced 100 above the bare minimum for Austin Rivers, which is just a crazy price tag here. You look at without Westbrook and Harden on the floor, we have a lot more of a sample for him, at least comparatively to Clint Capella. 140 minutes. He's averaging over one fan dual fantasy point per minute in that sample. And Houston plays a tight rotation. They like to play eight or nine man rotations, kind of regardless of who's healthy unless there's a blood at the end, then you get like those sporadic, you know, bench guy minutes. But we think that this is still going to be a condensed rotation. And Austin Rivers is just going to be the point guard for most of the time. And we're projecting him at about point eight five fan dual fantasy points per minute. And with 34 minutes of court time, that is still enough for him to project as a top two per dollar value on the entire slate, along with Clint Capella, showing just how good of a value he is that he's so good per dollar and he's more expensive. But anyways, back to Austin Rivers. I mean, at 100 above the bare minimum, even if this game gets out of hand, we expect him to remain on the court. So I just don't see a scenario in which you fade him tonight, other than maybe for projecting, you know, fall trouble. And in that case, you might get Chris Clemens. But I think Austin Rivers is clearly the way higher percentage play of the two. Yeah, absolutely. The higher percentage chance of succeeding is Austin Rivers. Even if you are nervous about foul trouble or some other factors, the floor is just much higher, in my opinion, on Austin Rivers as well. Maybe Rivers at the point guard spot here in Houston for, you know, nothing. That's one. That's one more guy with the Houston Rockets. And that's Eric Gordon. He's come on as of late. He's coming back from injury. And the shot really hasn't been falling all that much. But Gordon, another one of these Rockets that if both these superstars don't play, you have to play him tonight. Exactly. He's the number one option on offense when you get one of these guys out with the second unit, right? Because this team likes to split up basically option one A on offense and option one B and scatter them. And now you don't have Russell Westbrook and you don't have James Harden. So Eric Gordon is basically the main playmaker. He is option one on offense. And you look at it, I mean, the sample just proves it. It's only a 61 minute sample, but without either James Harden or Russell Westbrook on the floor this year, a 39.8% usage rate for Eric Gordon. Now look, he's shot poorly all year long, not having Russell Westbrook or James Harden on the floor to set him up for open threes that probably won't help his field goal percentage. But we're projecting him for over a 30% usage rate and 35 minutes. Remember, Russell Westbrook and Harden are guys who will play 37 plus minutes a night. So I think if we're assuming the rotation stays anywhere near as condensed, 35 plus minutes should be a no brainer for Eric Gordon. And even if he shoots poorly to begin, there should be enough shots and enough playmaking that he should get you there at 4400. Honestly, in this scenario, I think we would still be paying for him at probably 6500 or 7K just because of how much of the offense has to run through him.  You just don't need to do all that much to reach five times his value. And I think you get there tonight as long as the opportunities exist. And they will. Eric Gordon should be in your lineups tonight. What a final player to get to in a test center. I know we've gone back to him a lot lately and it wasn't a great weekend for him.  I know the minutes are there.  OK, so Deadman has been frustrating. But let's think of the context these last few games. Dwayne Dedman matched up against Andre Drummond played 31 minutes in that game. Now we've got Dwayne Dedman around the bare minimum and he's coming off the game where he disappointed. He played 19 minutes against the Small Bulls team. But I mean, they basically have Thaddeus Young as their center right now. So a power forward and really an undersized power forward playing center for them. Tonight, this team is facing Carl Anthony Towns. Now, which center is Carl Anthony Towns more likely to, you know, look like in terms of scheme, Andre Drummond or Thaddeus Young. And clearly the answer is Andre Drummond. You want your top center in against him. Dwayne Dedman's a good defender. And so we're projecting him for 26 minutes, which is splitting the difference. And look, Harry Giles played 22 minutes last game and some consider him to be a true center. So it's certainly possible that he could eat into Dedman's minutes if he's playing well, but there's just enough minutes available here. If you think that Dedman can get to the mid 20s and potentially the 30s, which he's, by the way, done twice in his last, I think it's five games, got over 30 minutes. He's just a volatile guy who I think you play based on matchups. And I think this is one of those matchups where we have to think that Dwayne Dedman sees more minutes than he did last game. If you at all believe in that, I think he's a fine pivot off Clint Capella. I think the field is going to be as worried as you probably are, which will keep his ownership down. And yet this is a starter who, again, has 30 minute upside for almost the bare minimum. The upside is there. The matchup is so much better than it has been as Ricky described. Dwayne Dedman, you have to like the minutes and hopefully the production will come tonight. That's it for us here on the Fandal Hurry up, Ricky. I appreciate the time. Good luck tonight. Of course. And thanks for having me as always. Absolutely. Tomorrow we'll take a look at the Super Bowl. Some picks and props. Well, we can't stop thinking about enjoying that show. Enjoy the games tonight. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow on the Fandal Hurry up.

You know what? Let's take a little bit of a break from all this ridiculous beauty guru drama and let's talk about something that really matters. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, not only do I do a lot of YouTube commentary and try to see what lessons we can learn from them, but what I try to do here is speak up and speak out about things that actually matter, things that matter to me. And I think all of us should be using our platform to talk about these things. So anyways, if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So unless you've been living under a rock, like there is something major going on in the United States right now. And that is Alabama passing a bill to pretty much ban abortions. So Alabama has some dudes who passed a law basically saying that abortion is illegal.  And this is a major issue. So a lot of people are talking about Roe v Wade and this being a Supreme Court issue now and everything like that. But anyways, something that's happening on Twitter is many women are speaking out, sharing their stories, and it's in an effort to discuss like why it's important to be pro-choice and giving women the right to choose. And somebody who's done this is Anna Akana. So Anna Akana just tweeted this out. I had an abortion nine years ago. I was young, naive, and with a guy who cheated on me all the time. It is to this day one of the best decisions I made. I was in no way ready for motherhood. No one should be forced into a situation as serious as pregnancy. And you guys, like before I jump into more of this topic, like here's a thing.  I think Tati Westbrook is a great woman, but like here's the thing. Like don't just, don't just support creators because they like put somebody on blast or outed somebody or exposed somebody or you know, whatever. Like ask yourself who you're following and why you're following them. Like who are you supporting? Because Anna Akana, like she does not get nearly enough credit in my opinion. Anna Akana is this woman who is using her platform for good. Not only did she just open up about one of the most vulnerable parts of her life, right? And put this out there on Twitter, but her whole channel, like she talks about serious things and they're short, amazing, you know, like little short films and she talks a lot about mental health and like loving yourself and just like important things. Like in my opinion, Anna Akana should have 10 million subscribers, all right? But anyways, so, so yeah, like Anna Akana is talking about her experience with this and this is one of the million reasons why this is so important. So like in Alabama, like they discussed like in cases of, you know, rape or incest, then like maybe there's some gray area to get an abortion. And like there's so many other things that are going on. So one of them that that absolutely blows my mind is how people keep trying to defund Planned Parenthood, okay? Like Planned Parenthood provides so many services to women. Like abortion is only like a fraction of what they're doing. They're providing so, so many services. And one of them is contraception, okay? Like what we have to realize, what we have to realize with this whole thing that's going on is that some of the people who are making these laws are against safe sex, right? They're against like, like using like condoms and everything like that is crazy. They're against birth control, okay? Like there was a story a while back where what was a hobby lobby where because the owners, they're, you know, super religious and everything like that, like they didn't want their insurance plans to cover birth control for women. Like this is just such a screwed up scenario where it's like, okay, we don't want you to have an abortion, but we also don't want you to have birth control. So the idea is in this like magic land that they're living in is that people should just practice abstinence, right? Like, hey, don't get me wrong. In a perfect world, like abstinence is the best way to practice safe sex, but that's not what's happening because human biology exists, okay? People get together and they get the groove on. That is something that happens, all right?  And then all of a sudden they kind of realize they're like, wait a second, we're telling teenagers to just not even have sex, which is not gonna happen. So they're like, okay, well, let's at least teach them about safe sex. And like, yes, like that's what you got to do. Now, one of the other issues that I take with the abortion ban is the people who make these types of laws, the people who make these types of laws, they're like no abortions, but they're on the other side, on the other side of this thing, they are constantly trying to defund like social programs that help people take care of their kids, right? So basically they're like, have the freaking kid, but then you got to figure it out, right? But like Anna Akana just shared, like she was in no position to have a child. That's where this thing just gets absolutely baffling to me is that they want you to have a kid, but then like they want you to figure it out on your own.  And one of the issues is that a lot of people don't talk about enough, like sure, there's a lot of biology that goes into mental health and mental illness, right? There are so many, you know, genetic predispositions and everything like that, but multiple studies over countless years have proven that there is a major part of mental illness that comes along with the way a person was parented. That's why when they talk about mental health issues, they talk about biological, social, and psychological issues, okay? All of these things can cause mental health issues. So some of these women, like Anna Akana, who realize that they are in no way, shape, or form fit to be a parent when they got pregnant, they are potentially saving a child from a life that is going to be not so great, right? And like in my opinion, like that is one of the most responsible things a person can do. It is for a person to sit back and realize, like, I cannot give this child the best situation in their life, right?  Those of you who don't know me, I'm coming up on seven years sober, many people with addictions, right?  And that's when kids turn to drugs and alcohol. So there are so many different layers of this thing.  This topic is very difficult. It's rough to discuss. And I do, I do think that there should be some guidelines, right? Like, because when you when you really start to have this conversation about abortion, it's like, okay, well, how far along is too far along, right? Like that's something like whether you're pro choice or not, like that's a conversation that needs to be had. But just straight up banning abortion is not the way to do it. But at the end of the day, this again, this has multiple layers to it, like, even for women who go through with the pregnancy, we need to take a look at the different social programs going on, and everything like that, because those are an issue as well. Because whether or not this this law gets repealed or not, there are still going to be many children who are born into bad situations. That's why I find it important that we talk about all the social issues, we talk about schooling, we talk about mental health care, we talk about substance abuse prevention programs, we talk about all of those things. So the last thing I want to end this video with is it is 2019. Next year is 2020, okay? Like I never thought in a million years I'd be that old guy, right? Hey, I'm only 33, but go out there and vote for the love of God.  I hope for the next year and a half until the next election, you are paying attention to the politicians, what they're saying, what their policies are, what their plans of action are, because this is how we make change happen, okay?  Your vote means something, okay? So find people who align with what you believe in, and your values, and next November, go out there and vote, all right? But anyways, again, go check out Anna Akona's channel, go subscribe to her. We need to support people in the YouTube community who are standing up for what they believe in and being public about it, all right? But anyways, that's all I got for this video.
