Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2019 Battle Series, we are back with a brand new team this week, I hope you all well had a great weekend and we are kicking off with a Cure and White build that I put out a poll about two weeks ago on the YouTube channel and thank you so much for everyone for voting, getting involved, commenting and deciding what Pokemon we're going to bring this week and it did turn out unanimously to be Cure and White, just edging it in the poll there so it's going to be a lot of fun, it's going to be very exciting to play and I hope you enjoy it just before we get into anything, the pace of the team is down in the description if you want to check that out, there's also a poker pace as well just to make it a bit easier for you guys, if you try it out though let me know what you think of it and I think this team as we're going forward this week is going to be one that we're tweaking quite a lot because there is a lot of elements to it that I feel like we could maybe put this here, we could have this there, if you checked out the stream last week on our Twitch channel we did give a sneak peek of this team and we had Terracion, Whimsicott in there to begin with but then we found that the trick room redirection was a bit awkward to deal with so I've thrown the Gengar back in, we've got Skydrop on Tabakoko, we've got the Isinium on the Cure and White, we've got Oconine instead of Incinero which is a refreshing change, Oconine offers bulldo support, intimidated support, it's got Roar as well and then it's a fire type in to give us that fire type style against things like Cartana, Ferrothorn that otherwise would be a little bit more difficult to deal with and the bulldoze really complements that Sugaleo as well outside of just its general speed control because we've got the weakness policy on the Sugaleo so we can switch that in, proc our own weakness policy and get Sugaleo in a really nice position to stop ripping through teams. Got Gengar there that benefits from the Tapulele's terrain and we've got Scarf Tapulele, we've got Gravity on there, we've got Hyponosis on the Gengar to really help disrupt things and then the Blizzard as well benefits from that gravity and so this is the team in general, we'll get into more of the details of it as we go on in this week's episodes but like I say I'm open to change things and we probably will learn a few things about the team as we're going forward so we will change things as we go along but without further ado let's just get into it and in other news guys we have got big news because Flinch Clothing has finally finally been launched which is amazing so if you want to check out Flinch Clothing go over to flinchclothing.com and you can check that out have a look around some of the articles that we've got there the clothing and things like that and it's just yeah it's really exciting so if you do let me know what your thoughts are but the other thing is we're gonna have a huge big giveaway over this month so if you want to know how to enter the giveaway make sure you tune into the end of the episode where I'll give you all the details of how to get involved in what you could potentially get sent right to your doorstep for the flinch needs so right we've got our first opponent of the episode let's get into this let's be a bit more sensible right our first opponent is playing a team of Yveltal Incinero Groudon, Cherim, Tapulele and Stack Attacker so we've got the restricted combination of Yveltal and Groudon very common to ourselves because we played this last week on the channel but a few variations in here we've got the Incinero support for the fake out, help support everything, organize board position a little bit better, the Intimidate support there to shut down physical attackers not really too worrying for our side of the team we got the Cherim there that there is gonna give the Groudon an attack and a special defense boost as long as that sun is out in the field and we don't have any way to kind of overwrite that got the Tapulele for the terrain control and then you got Stack Attacker which is a trick room element for the whole team so very interesting probably a kind of a mixed Groudon that can benefit from just normal speed and then take advantage of a full trick room here so what are we gonna do we need to be able to do a lot of things in this game and I think Cure and White is not a bad lead especially with the Arcanine I am gonna bring Tapulele and I think probably so Galeo to this one and that is deep review done so let's get into the match and hope it's a good one the thing is I think with this team it's a bit more less serious but it's got a lot of potential to do well I think it's a real good best of one team and it's a lot of fun we had a bit of a hard time last week with Prestivus Blades get a bit crying things like that on the channel but this week is gonna be a lot of fun and hopefully it gives you a bit of inspiration to maybe try out these different Pokemon as well and it's just nice sometimes to have a bit of fun with Pokemon don't have to keep it serious all the time and it doesn't mean that having fun doesn't mean it's not competitive either so right we've got Incineroar coming out with the Groudon for my opponent this first turn and there's a nice play we could make here by switching in the Tapulele and just go for the Zee move into the Groudon for sure and I'm very tempted to do that we get the Intimidate onto the opponent in Incineroar as well so we won't be taking as much damage from potential flablets coming out from that slot and I tell you what let's go for all the style points here let's just go for that Sub-Zero Islam a straight way into the Groudon and get around that fake out and just switch in the Tapulele here for our Arcanine preserve Arcanine for later on and removing the Groudon now is such a nice thing for us because it gives Sugileo a lot more protection and then we've only got to really worry about the Veltor which we can we can potentially deal with quite well with Gravity Blizzard as well and we also have Helpenhand from Arcanine and with this is end up as well then our half labelette is gonna be doing a lot more damage so Arcanine gonna retreat for ourselves Tapulele coming in it's just about what that Groudon protects on up but you'd think with the fake out support probably wants to go for an attack here so fake out psychic terrain Z-Move here we go I love being able to do this and this is such a nice Z-Move as well and it's one that we don't have to put any overlays over so no Dragon Ball Z unfortunately but this Z-Move is well worth kicking off the episode with today so excellent here we are straight into the Groudon there's no way this Groudon takes this no way who's a ever no way no way no Groudon is surviving that so Groudon gone which is very nice and this next turn we have the potential if you want to go Gravity Blizzard and I'm kind of tempted to do that to be honest especially if the Veltor comes in because we should be able to get it in about two hits and we tend potentially depending on its build might be able to outspeed it as well if it is that Soldves variant which you've kind of got to think that it probably is let's go for the Grave Blitz I mean we're not gonna be able to kill anything here wow forfeit we might get three episodes in today okay so good game to my opponent that was a quick one did not expect that okay teams already working right we'll move on to our next one guys I can't believe the forfeit coming out there I mean what did they have in the back hmm well just one of them things I think sometimes where you think I don't want to play this anymore after that first turn so okay let's choose some music let's go and across my version two because it's one of my all-time favorites and I know how much you all love me spamming this track we've got our next opponent from Japan rating of 1680 they're playing the team of Palkia, Kayoga, Tapa Coco, Whimsicott, Incinero and Stack Attacker so we've got that combination of the Palkia the Kayoga it's gonna be a bit difficult for us to deal with we've got to be a bit careful with how we set up against this team you've got the Tapa Coco there for terrain control the Whimsicott there probably for tailwind support it probably has Encore and things like that so Tapa Layla gonna be quite handy for us in this matchup in particular the Incinero there again to help with that trick room set up with the fake out support intimidate support and then the Stack Attacker gonna be one of those other trick room users on the team surprising that we don't see any sort of redirection here you normally see a Moongus probably where that that Whimsicott slides but Whimsicott offers a lot of different things to what a Moongus does what are we going to do what are we gonna do he says okay so and typical could be quite nice here for this be control the sky drop as well as nice and their Whimsicott's and a bit awkward to get around but with Tapa Layla don't worry about that as much and we could go down a Gengar route but I think because there's potentially a scarfed Kayoga there most times here with the team I kind of want to lead Tapa Layla and Tapa Layla and what we're gonna lead next to it do we want we we definitely want Sogaleo Cure him and maybe we want to leave Oconine and bring Gengar because of the focus sash because of the very worst it gives us at least a switch in where we can take an attack and not lose a Pokemon so screen white there we go we're into it so mmm be always nice to have some weather on the team somewhere and that's why I keep thinking it's quite nice doing this as well because I guess we're gonna learn about the team in different matchups that we do struggle with and what we can do to overcome them so it's a good kind of stepping stone for for kind of building a team we're gonna see the Tapa Cocoa and the parking come out my opponent we're gonna see and reveal that we are scarfed because the electric terrain going over our psychic terrain here now we could just throw a moon blast into that park here the one thing I do worry about against Palkia quite a lot is the hydro vortex and then the Kayoga coming in and before we can actually do anything and it's maybe a good idea to preserve Lele for later on in the game if we can and I'm gonna go for a moon blast into the park here and do I keep so glaring because we could just knock off the Tapa Cocoa we could protect as well I think protect it is a bit passive but at the same time I if the Tapa Cocoa vault switch out on that slot which it's not likely to know that the Tapa Lele is scarfed Palkia just protecting here and we're gonna see Kayoga come in I think or an electro web maybe Sky Drop that's fine I don't mind that too much but we probably will see the water AMZ into our solar layout imagine now do they double into the Lele knowing how threatening it is for the rest of the game we're not gonna be able to do too much damage to them either way so I'll just lock into the moon blast but I mean we could just sack Gengor I guess that's not a bad thing we're not really sacking it we're just talking about before and to improve you having that option to bring something in just to sap up a big attack and we still have a sash to kind of fall back on if that is the case so we'll see this Sky Drop come in with the Tapa Lele critical hit and a trick room huh okay now we see the yeah now we see the Kayoga come in for sure scarf we cannot change I think we have to moon blast the Palkia again I want a kind of blind type hypnosis because if we can get a blind hypnosis onto this this Cocoa slot of the Palkia mixing so much easier going forward for us but then again we're probably better off getting some damage onto the field rather than anything else if I can sludge bomb the Palkia or the type of Cocoa I think is the better one because if the Kayoga comes in there we don't want to be dealing with with Kayoga and water spouts yeah so the Cocoa going out Kayoga coming in probably see a Hydra pump from the Palkia into the Lele could miss though if it's not the Z move Z move incoming Hydra vortex into the Lele it has to be feels a bit wasteful I mean if it's into the Gengar then happy days I'm wondering against because this rain matchup does feel a bit difficult for this team in particular and one of the things I do question is maybe Gastrodon could be a good option for us and here gives us that ground type and it also gives us such a good match up against really need the poison there we really need the poison because now I feel this matches really getting away from us hmm but I have to try and get around this trick room as best we can okay let's bring a Curem and try something because Curem is not bad apart from the spacial rent I do I protect the Curem Curem you have to I feel like you have to double into the Curem here with a spacial rent I'm gonna try and sludge bomb this Palkia because if you can get damage onto it and then put it in range for like a Z I see him Z later in the game it's just about trying to reduce our losses here trying to keep resources we've got to hope our opponent doubles into this slot not the Gengar slot there's a water spout because my thinking here is if you don't double it into that Curem then it will take your Palkia down seeing straight through us though so but I mean the hydro pump is gone but it doesn't really help us against spacial rent especially with the Curem and there's no way we get like three protects we should have just attacked there so passive so passive and we're getting punished for it as well but this matchup feels really really difficult for us we just haven't got I don't think we've got the tools and maybe we have maybe we have but it does feel very difficult and it's all about preserving the Laleigh I think in this matchup we're gonna see a spacial rent spacial rent can miss though for sure let's go for the Sub-Zerous Lama into the Palkia and go for a knockoff into that Kyoga because Palkia's moves are pretty they're not the most accurate we're gonna see a Skald so into the Solgaleo my gosh there's so much damage in the thunder this will probably be enough right oh doubling into that slot hmm which is strange because the I think the especially with the Curem I'm protecting the last turn like the most likes kind of sensible thing to do I think in that situation is to at least attack the Curem in case there's a dragon type attack on it but I mean my opponent's taking advantage there and and got themselves into a completely winnable position now and we do get some big damage onto that Palkia but I mean it's gonna be so difficult to close this matchup now because the Kyoga probably switches out we probably see Incineroar come in which my opponent is likely to have in the back I'm just gonna check trick room turns yeah we got one left and so I mean we can protect here and I think we have to although the Palkia might not have spatial rent yeah probably doesn't Incineroar coming in it's too much though for Curem to do by itself ah this is a shame this is a shame off to such a good start as well and then to have this but this is a learning process of the team and we need to learn how to approach these matches a lot better than we are at the moment and it's all about like I guess if I'm gonna give an example of like why not to to get downbeat about this is because these are the teething issues you will come across with a team you know when you're playing a new team you're gonna have teething issues where things don't always work out to plan it's kind of like these points in the game where you're really kind of dissecting what you're doing and learning about right well this doesn't work so we need to look at other options how we can approach this matchup and then look at your options in your team and look at right okay next time we come up against this is what we can do and if you can't kind of formulate those those options in your team that's when you have to look at the you you have to look and think right well I can't go forward this team anymore what can I change or put into the team to make this match up a lot easier for us to to deal with and give my opponent a much harder time so that's the thing don't get downbeat too much about early results for the team especially because they're really actually the gems that you're looking for to kind of make the team a lot better going forward than they are a hindrance on anything and it's only when you're getting to that tournament stage where it really does start to matter anyway hope that makes sense we'll get into our next one hopefully we can finish on a big w today and see what we are okay so if it takes ages to find upon I'll just come straight back like I do where our opponent appears like magic but there we go 1701 rated player so this should be a good one okay I'm playing a team of get into team preview crowbat zonius groudon tabulae katana and incinero so we've got the combination of groudon and zonius is restricted so we've got support and members like the crowbat that's gonna have access to taunt gonna have access to tailwind haze potentially and superfang which is gonna be a bit awkward for us to play around the zonius gives us a lot of issues especially with curama on the field the tabulae there with terrain control to prevent any fake out abuse from ourselves katana gonna potentially have tailwind of its own and probably got the sash as well and then there is the incinero tagged on as always so what can we do against this like all can and it's gonna be good here because of the intimidate support it's got raw as well and it resists fairy type damage that we are so weak against with our curam and but there is the groudon the groudon as well and I mean one thing we could do is go cure him tabulae as a lead have arcanine in the back ah we don't want cocoa come on tabulae arcanine and do we want so goleo in this matchup like so goleo does well against katana can hit incinero tabulae zonius and the crowbar I feel like does good against everything other than the cure there the groudon so if we can get rid of the groudon then this shouldn't be too difficult we've got to watch out for katana with knockoff obviously incinero is going to be a bit threatening especially if it's left unchecked but I mean other than that just those few things we should be alright it's just about approaching the game in a way where we can make sure when maneuvering ourselves around smartly to get rid of the threats and then kind of a eek out a win condition for ourselves so we'll see tabulae and crowbar come out for my opponent as we get tabulae and cure him out for ourselves so we are scoffed so we will be able to to get the jump on that opposing crowbar I'm so tempted I am so tempted to go for the z move into the lele and just sideshock that crowbar so tempted so tempted because we could just clear the field right now we could literally just clear the field we could lose our curem which wouldn't be great at all like that's a risk that's a risk because if it is scoffed tabulae and I don't want to lose curem because I don't want to lose the ability to have something that can just knock out groudon and I think if we do lose curem that groudon becomes a lot more difficult to deal with so being smart about it it's probably a lot safer keeping it for later not leaving it in to get sniped right now so sogale are going to come in for us for the curem we'll keep that in the back should be able to take a combination of attacks coming out here as we see an ally switch of course an ally switch they hate you ally switch so there it's gonna be the guessing game this next turn but I mean that does a lot of damage doesn't it as a tailwind comes out from the other crowbar you've got to think it probably wants to go taunt into the sogale are expecting a trick room like I would totally expect that I'm gonna Sunseal strike into the top of Lele and I'm gonna size shock as well into that crowbar expect that just please don't ally switch again okay no ally switch coming out and groudon coming in yeah paving the way for the groudon and we just got to get through these tailwind turns because you should be able to remove the crowbar now there's the taunt that we expected she's a bit all good for us going into the next turn particularly but because we can't protect the sogale like we probably want to as the crowbar is taken down with a crit I don't think I don't think I'm at it we'll get some damage into the groudon though not a great deal because it's so defensively bulky we could have kept curem in that first turn now that's what I'm thinking I'm like I could have just went for all gravity blizzard but you're not to expect the you just don't expect the ally switch not as much these days I don't think and hmm what do we want to do I probably prefer to get rid of groudon more than anything I want to get arcanine in for the intimidate for sure and it's just the the ground here but I like where's the Z move on this team if we look at it Z moves definitely on groudon I like a hundred percent on groudon it's whether or not it goes into Lele now because if we can get through these trick room turns it's just as ernius is going to geomancy which becomes a big big issue and we're not going to be taking anything down let's go side shock into Zernius so we'll get arcanine in because we couldn't protect the Togaleo the previous turn as a Geomancy it's just whether or not the Z moves into Tapulele but you've got to think because the Togaleo is taunted it makes a lot of sense to go into that slot and if we're left unchecked then we can potentially take down that Zernius with Sunsteel Strike we actually have to beat the groudon still which is interesting so is a slot groudon there's a Z move I don't imagine this into the arcanine I mean if it's not into the arcanine I don't mind this at all because it would then we still have access to Raw which you could totally utilize on our arcanine slot but like I said the logic there is into that slot and poor arcanine going down already but the Intimidate's quite nice for us there onto that opposing groudon hmm Zogaleo we need this trick room to end the tail end to end sorry it's gonna end the next turn okay I want to protect Zogaleo or do we just attack now because it's only Precious Blades it's minus one we could double hmm we probably do we probably don't take a move less than the Precious Blades I'm gonna size shock into the Zernius make the obvious play we're in a bit of a bad situation right now but Precious Blades could miss the Lele and they could double into the Zogaleo but nah you would like they're just making the right play the thing is here though the other reason for protecting the Zogaleo here is that even though the Precious Blades coming out it would always be if my opponent made that play single target attack which makes it a lot more difficult for us to to get around now becomes the 50-50 here because if I'm my opponent I probably protect Zernius in Precious Blades would you protect I don't think you do protect here well you do because we protect curum that's the thing it makes me want to just double into the Zernius and Z move as well like it is just a 50-50 though and Sunsteel Strike into the Zernius do we predict that the Zernius protects though and just attack I think we just attack into the Groudon the Z move hope the Zernius protects okay Groudon gonna be kept for later tap a Lele gonna come in Zernius protects okay because the Groudon is gonna reset its intimidate which is smart my opponent making all the right plays here and really we're gonna have to hit a blind blizzard against the Groudon now I mean we will take a Precious Blades with Zogaleo and we will be able to get rid of the Zernius it's next to it's gonna be close though okay okay two versus two who can win who can win does the Zernius go for a double protect here that's the thing hmm I just don't like the idea of having to hit a blind blizzard against this Groudon the play we have to make is Sunsteel Strike into the Zernius and just protect curing this turn we'll probably see it double up into the Zogaleo if I'm if I'm my my opponent I double into the Zogaleo here dazzling gleam okay that makes sense we'll outspeed the Groudon because it is quite slow we'll get rid of the Zernius and we could kind of do with a Precious Blades missing here all the bad rubbish look we had last week on the channel with Precious Blades we want it back in tenfold right now fire punch okay my opponent's not taking the risk this is what a smart player does we actually take it though and our weakness policy proc so that kind of seals the deal for us and we'll be able to double in now and sunlight does fade and with Curamart on the field he's a beast so we are able we're gonna be able to lock this one up now and like I say we'll just go Sunsteel Strike and do we go blind blizzard fusion flares not bad option it's effective against it I don't really want to risk the yeah we'll do it we'll be we'll be idiots and go blizzard it's never the player to do though it's never the player but my opponent forfeit saves us that so right good game to my opponent and guys we're gonna wrap it up there I hope you've enjoyed today's episode but like I say before we get into saying goodbye I did say at the start of this episode that because flinch clothing has just launched this past weekend I'm really

Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Box Bighorn Level 1 Night Edition is stock number 14306Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, you're new and used heavy-duty truck and Ram headquarters. This 2020 Ram 2500 has the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. It's paired up with the 6-speed, 6.8 RFE automatic transmission. This truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. Really a good-looking truck. And I'm going to go all the way around in this video, inside, underneath, started up. Take a look under the hood and show you all the options and give you the most accurate representation that I can of the vehicle. Flame red clear coat is the color. I show all my videos in 4K. If you like the video, subscribe to the YouTube channel, click the bell notifications and get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle and heavy-duty truck walk-arounds on YouTube. This one comes with the 20-inch painted fuel alloy wheels. And it has Open Country Toyo MT tires. These are 37x12.5-art 20LTs. And I would say they have right around half the tread left on them. Has a very nice suspension lift kit. I believe those are Bilstein shocks on there. Underbody is very clean. This is a clean title history, clean car facts out of Washington. That would make me think that this is a Rancho lift. But you get the Bilstein shocks there as well. Front fender is an excellent condition. So this one has some custom LED headlamps, running lights, and fog lights as well as the custom grill guard slash bumper. Really a good look to this truck. Absolutely perfect condition. Front bumper parking sensors. I'm going to turn all those lights on at the end of the video so you can see just how bright they are. You get the gloss black grille. The hood is in fantastic condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. And the passenger side front fender. No major dents or dings on there. Passenger side front wheel, no scuffs or scrapes. Looks really good. And as you go down this side of this 2020 Ram 2500, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective, and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you're far away or even if you're close by, you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle. You can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. Now if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back wheels in excellent shape. And the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Frame and underbody back here looks really good as well. The wheel wells are in really nice shape. They're not all chipped up or anything. Looks really good. Has all the remaining factory exhaust. Underbody looks really good. Definitely beneficial to get a truck out of Washington State. And what I really like that they did is they put these bushwhacker lower guards on the lower rockers, which keeps from getting all rock chipped, especially with these tires. That can be a big problem, but this one looks really good and they really did it nice. Passenger side box looks really good. LED tail lamps, rear bumpers in great shape. Has the back of parking sensors full towing package, which includes the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. And the tailgate is in really nice condition as well. I didn't see any denser dings on there. Has a fold up. This is a back flip fold up tonneau. This is an MX-4. That's in pretty nice condition. Comes with a very nice spray and bed liner. LED bed lights. These lights you can turn them on and off from back here with the button. And the bed's in really nice shape. Didn't see any denser dings and that bed liner goes on to the tailgate. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly coming around the driver side. Just as clean as a passenger side, no major denser dings on there. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is in fantastic condition as well. Cab and doors all look really good. This one has the heated fold up tow mirrors built in directional signals. They fold up like so and they fold in like that. Take a quick look at the back seats. They are in excellent condition. No rips or tears. Smells very clean inside this truck. You get the latch child safety system, fixed glass for your window. They said no rips, no tears. Seats fold up. There's a load floor back here, which is really nice. If you've got muddy boots or tools, put them on there. Or if you've got pets, put both sides down and they got a nice flat place to lay. And they won't wreck your seats, storage underneath there. You also get in-floor storage with removable bins for easy cleaning. You can put ice and drinks in there.  Or if you're not in Wisconsin, just extra storage space. You can get side curtain airbags on those front seats. Child safety locks on the back doors and the inside and bottoms of the doors. No corrosion or anything on them look really good. You can see those Bushwacker rocker panel or rocker rails come up onto the sill there, which is really nice. I'll show you the VIN sticker. No Canadian-owned trucks here. Then the tire and loading information sticker.  The 40-20-40 split bench seating in the front, no rips, no tears on those seats. Very nice condition. Driver's side lumbar, all-weather floor mats up here. Auto headlamps, power pedals, power windows, locks and mirrors, cloth bolster, wood grain trim. These mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so you know that both sides are working properly. Hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this one has to offer on the interior. Alright, you can see this one has 33,744 miles on it. You do get a digital speedometer on there as well as a time, and you can change that corner to read whatever you want. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. It does come with the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls and gear selector on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left, audio controls on the back of the steering wheel as well. There's your shifter for that 6-speed, 68-RFE automatic transmission, push-button start, push-button four-wheel drive, the Uconnect 8.4 4C radio. This one does have AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities on it. You also have your different apps. This one does have projection manager. We can project your cell phone to the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. We did a demo on an 844C radio with Android Auto. If you want to see how that works, that's in the upper right-hand part of the screen. But basically, if you've got Waze or Google Maps on your phone, project it right to the screen. It's like you have Nav right in the screen, so that's a really nice feature. And then you can do your heated seats and everything here. Which is really nice.  Two USBs, two USB-C's and an aux jack. Quick buttons for your heated seats and steering wheel. On the backup camera, they made these HD's so you can see your hitch and get hooked up to your hitched boat camper trailer the first time, every time. Yeah, so really a lot of nice stuff that you can do with this radio. Get the keyless entry here with remote start, so it does have remote start. Carpeting and floor mats, dual glove boxes, passenger side format and seat are an excellent condition. Again, I don't think it's ever been smoked in, smells very clean inside, headliners in great shape. They have replaced all the lights with LED lights, which are pretty cool. And you get homelink buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems and an auto dimmy mirror. Let's start it up and take a look under the hood and check out all those LED lights in the front. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. That's why those lights are on. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to verify the quality condition options. And of course, cleanliness of this truck all the way around inside. Now, see all those LED lights are very bright, working very nicely. They look really good. Under the hood, we have the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. Engine maze very clean, runs very smooth. And once again, this truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off for the state of Wisconsin inspection process. There is the emission sticker. And this truck is 100% ready to go. Really a good looking truck. I would highly recommend it from a quality and condition standpoint. A lot of times you get these lifted trucks and they're just beat up. And this thing is very nice. And to see more pictures of this truck and one of the 550 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, Wranglers, half tons, three quarter tons, one tons. You name it, we've got to go to the web server there. SummitAuto.com. Full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle. All at SummitAuto.com.

Okay, we're back with Tim Yochum who is the director of engineering at Influx Data. Tim, welcome, good to see you. Good to see you, thanks for having me. You're really welcome. Listen, we've been covering open source software on theCUBE for more than a decade and we've kind of watched the innovation from the big data ecosystem, the cloud is being built out on open source, mobile, social platforms, key databases and of course Influx DB and Influx data has been a big consumer and contributor of open source software. So my question to you is where have you seen the biggest bang for the buck from open source software? So yeah, Influx really, we thrive at the intersection of commercial services and open source software. So OSS keeps us on the cutting edge. We benefit from OSS in delivering our own service from our core storage engine technologies to web services, templating engines. Our team stays lean and focused because we build on proven tools. We really build on the shoulders of giants. And like you've mentioned, even better, we contribute a lot back to the projects that we use as well as our own product Influx DB. You know, but I got to ask you, Tim, because one of the challenges that we've seen in particular, you saw this in the heyday of Hadoop, the innovations come so fast and furious and as a software company, you got to place bets, you got to, you know, commit people and sometimes those bets can be risky and not pay off. So how have you managed this challenge? Oh, it moves fast. Yeah, that's a benefit though, because the community moves so quickly that today's hot technology can be tomorrow's dinosaur. And what we tend to do is we fail fast and fail often, we try a lot of things. You look at Kubernetes, for example, that ecosystem is driven by thousands of intelligent developers, engineers, builders. They're adding value every day. So we have to really keep up with that. And as the stack changes, we try different technologies, we try different methods, and at the end of the day, we come up with a better platform as a result of just the constant change in the environment. It is a challenge for us, but it's something that we just do every day. So we have a survey partner down in New York City called Enterprise Technology Research, ETR, and they do these quarterly surveys of about 1500 CIOs, IT practitioners, they really have a good pulse on what's happening with spending. And the data shows that containers generally, but specifically Kubernetes is one of the areas that has kind of been off the charts and seen the most significant adoption and velocity, particularly along with cloud, but really Kubernetes is just still up and to the right consistently, even with the macro headwinds and a lot of the stuff that we're sick of talking about. So what are you doing with Kubernetes in the platform? Yeah, it's really central to our ability to run the product. When we first started out, we were just on AWS and the way we were running was a little bit like containers junior. Now we're running Kubernetes everywhere at AWS Azure Google Cloud. It allows us to have a consistent experience across three different cloud providers and we can manage that in code. So our developers can focus on delivering services, not trying to learn the intricacies of Amazon, Azure and Google and figure out how to deliver services on those three clouds with all of their differences. Just to follow up on that, is it? No, so I presume it sounds like there's a pass layer there to allow you guys to have a consistent experience across clouds and up to the edge, you know, wherever. Is that correct? Yeah, so we've basically built more or less platform engineering as is the new hot phrase. You know, Kubernetes has made a lot of things easy for us because we've built a platform that our developers can lean on and they only have to learn one way of deploying their application, managing their application. And so that just gets all of the underlying infrastructure out of the way and lets them focus on delivering influx cloud. Yeah, and I know I'm taking a little bit of attention but is that, I'll call it a pass layer if I can use that term. Is that other specific attributes to influx DB or is it kind of just generally off the shelf paths? You know, is there any purpose built capability there that is value add or is it pretty much generic? So we really build, we look at things with a build versus buy, through a build versus buy lens. Some things we want to leverage cloud provider services for instance, Postgres databases for metadata perhaps. Get that off of our plate, let someone else run that. We're going to deploy a platform that our engineers can deliver on that has consistency that is all generated from code that we can as an SRE group, as an ops team that we can manage with very few people really and we can stamp out clusters across multiple regions in no time. So sometimes you build, sometimes you buy. How do you make those decisions and what does that mean for the platform and for customers? Yeah, so what we're doing is it's like everybody else will do. We're looking for trade offs that make sense. We really want to protect our customers data. So we look for services that support our own software with the most uptime, reliability and durability we can get. Some things are just going to be easier to have a cloud provider take care of on our behalf. We make that transparent for our own team and of course for customers, you don't even see that but we don't want to try to reinvent the wheel. Like I mentioned with SQL data stores for metadata perhaps let's build on top of what these three large cloud providers have already perfected and we can then focus on our platform engineering and we can have our developers then focus on the influx data software, the influx cloud software. So take it to the customer level. What does it mean for them? What's the value that they're going to get out of all these innovations that we've been talking about today and what can they expect in the future? So first of all, people who use the OSS product are really going to be at home on our cloud platform. You can run it on your desktop machine on a single server or what have you but then you want to scale up. We have some 270 terabytes of data across over four billion series keys that people have stored. So there's a proven ability to scale. Now in terms of the open source software and how we've developed the platform you're getting highly available high cardinality time series platform. We manage it and really as I mentioned earlier we can keep up with the state of the art. We keep reinventing. We keep deploying things in real time. We deploy to our platform every day repeatedly all the time and it's that continuous deployment that allows us to continue testing things in flight rolling things out that change new features better ways of doing deployments safer ways of doing deployments. All of that happens behind the scenes and we had mentioned earlier Kubernetes. I mean, that allows us to get that done. We couldn't do it without having that platform as a base layer for us to then put our software on. So we iterate quickly. When you're on the influx cloud platform you really are able to take advantage of new features immediately. We roll things out every day and as those things go into production you have the ability to use them. And so in the end we want you to focus on getting actual insights from your data instead of running infrastructure. You know, let us do that for you. So that makes sense. So is the innovations that we're talking about in the evolution of influx DB do you see that as sort of a natural evolution for existing customers? Is it, I'm sure the answer is both but is it opening up new territory for customers? Can you add some color to that? Yeah, it really is. It's a little bit of both. Any engineer will say, well, it depends. So cloud native technologies are really the hot thing. IoT, industrial IoT especially.  What we've started to see are people that use the cloud service as their data store backbone and then they use edge computing with RLSS product to ingest data from say multiple production lines and down sample that data, send the rest of that data off to influx cloud where the heavy processing takes place. So really us being in all of the different clouds and iterating on that and being in all sorts of different regions allows for people to really get out of the business trying to manage that big data, have us take care of that. And of course, as we change the platform and users benefit from that immediately. And so obviously you've taken away a lot of the heavy lifting for the infrastructure. Would you say the same thing about security, especially as you go out to IoT and the edge, how should we be thinking about the value that you bring from a security perspective? Yeah, we take security super seriously. It's built into our DNA. We do a lot of work to ensure that our platform is secure, that the data we store is kept private. It's of course always a concern. You see in the news all the time, companies being compromised. That's something that you can have an entire team working on, which we do to make sure that the data that you have whether it's in transit, whether it's at rest is always kept secure, is only viewable by you. You look at things like software bill of materials. If you're running this yourself, you have to go vet all sorts of different pieces of software. And we do that, as we use new tools, that's something that's just part of our jobs to make sure that the platform that we're running it has fully vetted software. And with open source especially, that's a lot of work. And so it's definitely new territory. Supply chain attacks are definitely happening at a higher clip than they used to. But that is really just part of the day in the life for folks like us that are building platforms. And that's key, I mean, especially when you start getting into the, you know, we talk about IoT and the operations technologies, the engineers running that infrastructure. You know, historically, as you know, Tim, they would air gap everything. That's how they kept it safe, but that's not feasible anymore. Everything's connected now, right? And so you've got to have a partner that is, again, take away that heavy lifting to R&D so you can focus on some of the other activities. All right, give us the last word and the key takeaways from your perspective. Well, you know, from my perspective, I see it as a two lane approach with influx, with any time series data. You know, you've got a lot of stuff that you're going to run on-prem, what you mentioned, air gapping. Sure, there's plenty of need for that. But at the end of the day, people that don't want to run big data centers, people that want to entrust their data to a company that's got a full platform set up for them, that they can build on, send that data over to the cloud. The cloud is not going away. I think more hybrid approaches is where the future lives and that's what we're prepared for. Tim, I really appreciate you coming to the program. Great stuff, good to see you. Thanks very much, appreciate it. Okay, in a moment, I'll be back to wrap up today's session. You're watching theCUBE.
