What I'll be discussing here today is part of my ongoing master's degree dissertation and I will be discussing Sao Paulo under an archaeological, under a perspective of archaeological urbanism. And I'm going to look into the Pius II site that's currently my main focus in my master's degree to observe evidences of urban complexity among the archaeological record. The Pius II site is located in Sao Paulo, in the universal area of Palso, and it's in an event today, it's in a very highly dense urban area as you can see here, here, and it's close to the main river, one of the main rivers that cross through the city, the river Pinhus, that it takes after the name of the, of the site. And this is Sao Paulo today, I mean, when people think of Sao Paulo, it's one of the largest cities in the world and people think of buildings, concrete, glass, and there's no doubt that today this is a city and however, this wasn't always the case. It was, Sao Paulo took a lot of time in developing its urbanity. As you can see here, this is the first map that Sao Paulo appears and it appears right over there. I got a small footnote and this was 80 years after it was founded because the Portuguese arrived in the 1500s and Sao Paulo was founded, its first settlement was founded in 1554, but only in 1631 this map appeared and it's still, you can't tell very little about it because this map is basically of the captaincy of Sao Vicente, that was kind of the state of the time. And during a lot of time, map-wise, Sao Paulo was represented in this form, small footnote very sidelined in the colony. So, as I told you, through historical and archaeological sources, I would contribute to the discussion regarding Sao Paulo and their archaeological perspective. It could be considered a city before its official elevation to the status in 1711 because that's when the Portuguese decided they would finally call Sao Paulo a city. But maybe Sao Paulo was behaving as one before this period. So we made a use of an attribute table elaborated by Michael Smith in 2016 and took under consideration also by Monica Smith, Colin Renfrew, and all these people that you can see here. And I would also verify if some of these aspects that were brought to light could also be seen in the archaeological record in Pinyatis, too. And we took into consideration all these, like population, area, palaces, architecture, craftsmanship, fortifications, you could see if they could be quantified, if they were present or absent, if they could have a scale of intensity. And after an extensive research through articles by archaeologists, architects, geologists, and very interdisciplinary research, we could verify 16 of these attributes, and according to Smith, 12 would be sufficient to be considered a city. However, how many of those we can see in the archaeological record in Pinyatis? Because, as Tino also mentioned, they have this problem usually check. Sao Paulo also has this problem. The modern city completely surpassed over the colonial city. So we don't have so many evidence of this of the first colony. The Pinyatis site was excavated in the context of preventive archaeology, as you can see one of the images of the excavation. And inside, in the site, we also managed to find nine hit kilns, the put kiln number two represented here, and the 3D scan of the same hit kiln, of a total of nine. A total of over 57,000 artifacts were unearthed during these three years of excavation, among which 40,000, about 40,000 were ceramic fragments. And the remainder of those of the other technologies were faeans, glass, porcelain as you can see here. But the ceramic production was our main focus, since there were nine pit kilns and it was apparently a pottery works. We also took 17 samples to be dated through Terminal of Innocence in Pinyatis. Most of them at the average dates ranged from 1546 to 1687. We also highlighted in blue the samples that were taken from within the pit kilns. Therefore, they have a better chance of indicating the period in which the pottery works were in operation. Here is another representation of the same dates, just to better point out the concentration of dates within the 16th and 17th centuries. They were most of them. To understand the pottery works, you also get to understand the production. We got to see several vessels being done using several techniques, not only one. Most of them had presented a molded section in the bottom half and a top section being finished by modeling. This kind of production using several techniques also relates to what Sinopoli calls a workshop industry, which defines as an increasing scale of production, changes in ceramic technology, production using wheel or molding, introduction of kilns, standardized production, specialized craftsmen or craftswomen. We could observe a mercantile intent in what we found in Piedus II. We also got to find some fragments that were rushed and had presented rudimentary and repetitive patterns, showing that people kind of show lack of care in what they had in the final product. As you can see here, in the first image you can see some finger marks on the inside of the pot that were printed just poorly finished, and this happened quite commonly. Poorly finished appliques are also found. For example, this one, they even finished fully attaching it. Large temper was also found in several fragments. I'm not going to bore you with the statistics, but if anyone wants to know statistics, please feel free to ask later. But who was making these pots? We managed to see several European shapes, for example, this cake pan, this frying pan, and these jars, because the indigenous people did not produce these kinds of shapes. However, the indigenous and African patterns could be observed in decoration, since there were several incised patterns that relate to these ethnicities. Some might say it's a Mameluca production, that's the Brazilian term for the social mix between indigenous peoples and Europeans. As you can see here, Simansque, one of the researchers in Brazil that leads with, that's a leading expert in African influences, the note showed that the diamond patterns that can be seen in piñedos over here, they could be related to body's characterizations and ceramic decoration in Central Africa, that can be seen here and here. One of the other interesting aspects that also related to African influence was this only shirt, this was a single child, that did this point out to have a congo cosmogram. This one is especially quite interesting in the story, because the cross within the applied circle represents the daily journey of the sun around the world of the living and the world of the dead, and the water represented by the horizontal line divides both worlds. The circle represents the idea that life is endless, a professional cycle. But this was the only one that was directly related to it. But it's also important to note that almost 5 million enslaved individuals were brought to Brazil from Africa between 1539 and 1856, therefore it's expected to find a lot of African influence in Brazilian material culture. However, it's not that common to be found in Sao Paulo, because Sao Paulo took some more time to receive the enslaved individuals from Africa. We had the predominance of indigenous labor in Sao Paulo, even though there are records of African individuals by 1612 and 1620. So it's more common to associate these diamond patterns to what can be produced by the Guarani and the Tupi also in the region. They also produce similar inside patterns. The presence of a red angle in the ceramics also relates to this indigenous influence, because it was extremely common among the Guarani to use this red paint inside the vessels. And this appeared in several shirts in the years too, as well. This is just a small demonstration of how many ethnicities and languages could be found in Brazil during the year of the colony. There are over 900 references to various ethnicities and languages. This map is actually only from 1981, so there's probably more. And it also shows several of the migration patterns that occurred. So this is just to show how much of indigenous culture the Portuguese encountered when they arrived and how much of their culture can be intertwined with the colonial experience in Brazil. So in conclusion, what we've got so far from this project is that the years too represents an array of influences. And this variety of influences represents much of what Sao Paulo's identity was, especially with the identity related to the Mameloucu. The production was standardized relating to American-style production and economic goals. And the dates we pointed out earlier during our attribute table, they coincide with the dates obtained with the term Lominescent Statings. Therefore, the Pinheiros too is part of this process of urbanization in Sao Paulo. We also were able to conclude through what we saw in the ceramic production that five of the attributes established earlier to identify urbanism could be finding pews, such as craftsmanship, markets and stores, social diversity, identity, and imports with pheas, glass, and porcelain, and much more. References, references, just a few acknowledgments to my scientific advisor who helped me in the project to follow the needs that also happen in the conception.  Thank you very much.


Have you ever wondered how your favorite beverage gets to the store for you to purchase? At a price you can afford? We're taking you on a virtual field trip to see how big data and machine learning can be used to solve real supply chain problems or real companies. This means we'll talk with expert research scientists here at MIT CTL to see how they're using the techniques that you learn in class. And we'll also travel to New York City to work with our industry partners, the ABMF. Welcome to Anhyzer Prasimbev, come on in. I'm Michael Kress, I'm what we call Tier 2 Logistics. I'm the director of Tier 2 Logistics Transportation, which means I'm overseeing projects and processes related to taking our beer from the warehouse out to our customer network. So how can we make our drivers more efficient, provide better service, be safer? So my name is Matthias Winkenbach, I'm a research scientist here at MIT CTL, leading the Mega City Logistics Lab. My name is Esteban Mascarino, I'm a graduate research assistant at the Mega City Logistics Lab. If I use Brazil, we have 110 warehouses or so in Brazil, so I want to look at yearly efficiency at the DC level, 110 data points.  If I want to look at routes, I've got a million, and I want to look at customers, I have 16 million. I remind our executives that Excel breaks at a million dollars. Yeah, this project was interesting because we actually were sitting on a large pile of data that ABI provided us with, first only for Mexico City, later on then also for other cities around the world. We have all of this data from Mexico City, you know, if we did this and looked at it this way, we maybe we can come over some insight. So essentially the company had a huge amount of data, they wanted to do something useful with the data, and that specifically useful thing was coming up with a systematic approach in order to measure and benchmark productivity across the globe. So ABI has customers all over the world, and logistical teams all over the world who serve the stores that you and I buy their products from. But the company wants to know, why are some of these logistical teams performing differently? So we have 500 warehouses or so around the world. We operate in 30 countries, and we try to compare and say, how do I push one warehouse to be as efficient as another warehouse? So it's a little challenging to try to think about how you cluster or compare different realities against each other. And so what we worked a lot with on this project that we'll talk about with MIT is how do you put a little bit more math and methodology behind that comparison set? In a classroom environment, be it in person or online, your teacher will show you some new technique or concept. You'll get to practice with it by solving problems that the teacher creates. But as many of you might know, in practice, you don't always start with knowing the exact question or even knowing the appropriate method. ABI doesn't need to predict anything, not yet anyway. What they need is to organize their data, to probe it to see what it can tell them. So clustering was one of the main methods that we used because we first of all wanted to basically describe what's going on. We wanted to provide Anwar Zabush in-bath with a metric that they could apply to similar data in any other city that would basically classify their routes. But I don't know if we had thought through how to use a clustering methodology to apply to this project. I'm not sure any of us really knew, oh, clustering would be the solution, right? And I think that's when some of your students can say, oh, I know a technique.  I wish, I wish so, but no. First you get tons of data, hopefully. I mean, if you get data, that's great, because then you can clean it up, which takes four, five months. Cleaning the data, making sure it's consistent, making sure it's correct, making sure it's complete is a huge effort.  And it's not your model's fault. It's your fault because you didn't do a proper or a dot of the data cleaning process. It came out naturally from the development of the project that we should, at some point, segment the routes into their different operational characteristics. So for instance, urban routes with low drop size or urban routes with high drop size. So we opted for a categorical classification of the operational environment and that added an additional complexity to the whole model because we had to deviate from k-means and start mixing both k-means and k-modes. And that's k-prototypes, which is a well-validated clustering methodology. So the team cleaned the data, which was a major effort, and then they decided which machine learning algorithm was appropriate to their goals. Did anything surprise you when you looked at the result? We get the same insights from the same clusters that the methodology we came up with was pretty robust. There were still a lot of unexplained differences in route performance that we had some hypothesis on but that we actually struggled to find the right data to actually describe. So a big learning that we've had, probably the biggest learning actually is the need to be more focused on data and be more of a data-driven logistics operation. I think that's a fundamental shift that we've begun with MIT, we're the beginning of that journey. But I do think that will be one of the changes that we use as data as an asset going forward. Our course is about supply chain technology and systems. Can those things help a business? Yes. We've also covered data analysis. Can that provide new insights? Of course. But let's talk to our experts about how they use those things in practice. My challenge to all colleagues would be let a data scientist or people who are thinking about your business in a new way take you along that journey. And it's not that you don't know what you're doing or you don't know your business, it's that there's just somebody looking at it a different way who might find something. But you might find a couple of nuggets here or there, you say, oh wow. And those couple of things can transform your business. They actually went and integrated our analysis into their ERP systems so that you could roll it out easily all over the globe. And that's what makes me a little bit happy because it started as a small analysis here at MIT and is now globally used within API. Maybe you want to do a project like this yourself, either with your own company or in the company that you might work for in the future. So first of all, they should all take courses in statistics and probability. That's something that's a must. And then they can step up and go for more advanced things. But they should start from scratch with simple things, linear regression, clustering methods, classification methods, I don't know, K&N, hierarchical clustering, analyze a little bit about neural networks, random forests, and that kind of stuff. And they should know which are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methodologies in order to pre-select them or to have them in their toolbox and to know when to apply each of them or when to mix them. And very closely related to that, you need a decent understanding on how to code and how to actually implement these analysis at a large scale. Go one level deeper and try to be able to at least formulate a first version of a code, for instance, in a language like Python. So I think for any of your students, you know, focusing on storytelling or consulting type of skill sets or understanding that journey that you need to take people on, that the answer is the beginning. And so you can do a lot of work to get to a number. And you might be very proud because I got you the A in the class, but that doesn't get you an action or a business accomplishment. So my greatest advice would probably be focus on that journey and rounding out your skill sets because it doesn't end with the answer, and it starts with the answer. Matias, thank you so much for taking the time. Thank you so much, man. Thank you so much, guys. It was a pleasure. Michael, thank you so much for your time. Of course. It's so valuable. Sometimes the best way to learn a new concept or technique is to see how it's applied in practice. Thank you so much for joining us on this virtual field trip.


About once every few years we get one of these books where the contents are supposed to be life-changing but when you start reading a book, you hear the same old cliches you have to face when scrolling through social media. But when Jordan Peterson takes control of these cliches, the work combination, the tone, the velocity of speech, they simply work. And Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychology professor at the University of Toronto, a cited scholar and one of the most influential public intellectuals of the English-speaking world. And three years passed since the release of his first mainstream book, Twelve Rules for Life, which was centered around Jordan's idea of order versus chaos. And now he is back, and his new book, Beyond Order, Twelve More Rules for Life, is the yang to the yang, adding some chaos and disruption to your existence purposefully, thus completing the first piece of the puzzle, Twelve Rules for Life. This is part two of my summary and quick review and contains the last six rules in the book. If you want to watch the first part where I run through the first six rules, please make sure you check the link in the description down below. Havily influenced by yang, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Giotte and many more, Jordan Peterson uses their philosophy as spiritual windshields as one of the purposes of the humanities is to teach one how to live well. Now this kind of comes hand in hand with rule seven, which states that you should not do things that you hate. And Jordan Peterson makes a point that doing things you hate is kind of like the equivalent of lying. And there's this idea that you can construct an ethical framework not to do the things that you hate, the same way you might have an ethical framework not to lie. And yes, life is random and difficult and you might find yourself in situations where you are extremely constrained and can't do much about it and have to do stuff that you hate. And if you're true to yourself and choose to face and attack the things that you have to get done so that you can get to a point where you don't have to deal with them anymore, that can be a great start, indeed. Because if you keep doing things that you hate doing, having no plan to arrive at the escape door or at least reduce the number of entirely, these lies will come to haunt you. So every time you interact and do something that is not closer to what you know you want to become and be, you remove one more brick from the wall of your future self. Your character is your strength that you have to bring to bear in the world. And aiming not to compromise it and stop encouraging its state of decay is an important framework you should have in your back pocket. Now rule eight comes in as a sort of enhanced version of Jordan Peterson clean your room advice that has also become an internet meme for the past few years. And this was featured in numerous lectures and public speaking events and written on the walls.  And it is not productive for an individual to think and say that all of his or her problems are society's fault. And building on your clean your room advice, research has shown that being surrounded by physical clutter competes for your attention and this can result in decaying levels of attention and focus. Now Jordan Peterson comes in and constructs an improved version where after creating a space that's in order, one can start meditating on the idea of subjective beauty, which is a mysterious oftentimes intangible thing. Because sometimes it can be even intimidating to talk about beauty as human beings are flawed by default. And encountering something beautiful is also about unconsciously realizing all the ways you are not that. And this shames you and gives you a pushback but it also gives you something to work on. And beauty is not an usual thing one can contemplate. Beauty is the mind of the person beholding the object and what is beautiful to one observer might not be so to another. And elevating your room to the next level can be a crucial tool in one's arsenal especially in this day of age. You can start with one small corner in your room or balcony and arrange that with your representations of your subjective idea of beauty. And you can explore a particular trivial item in such a way that it can become a thing of beauty. You need to pay attention. And I believe that one should not start just randomly buying unnecessary objects just to populate your house and fulfill this idea. Because yes indeed there is beauty in maximalism but there is beauty in minimalism as well. And beauty is a true window that allows you to jump into another realm and we are often trying to capture it and hold it as much as we can. And this is why we put frames around beautiful paintings or wrap or gifts in nicely arranged wraps. Simply to hold the beauty in and keep it from getting damaged by the outside world. Now with Rule 9 things get really interesting because Jordan Peterson formulates this idea that if your old memories still make you cry you should write them down carefully and completely. He argues that if something from the past keeps bothering your present self you are kind of stuck in the past. This means that your experience has not yet been processed and processing such an experience can be done by articulating it as detailed as you can. There is some part of you that stuck in the past and you need to rescue yourself by articulating the past as clearly as you can because life is demanding and it takes all of you to be present here and now. And remember that writing is crystallized thinking. If you start writing your good and bad memories down so that you can filter and analyze them so that you don't repeat them is a cathartic process. And this canon probably will give you a new perspective that can cultivate in times of need so that you don't replicate your past mistakes. And this sort of goes hand in hand with Rule 10 which states that you should plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship. Even though one might say that romantic endeavors must be organic and not forced out, statistically speaking these can fade away if you fail to maintain the flow. Asking questions such as what makes you think that you are natural at being in a relationship? Why do you think that this type of stuff can simply work out organically? Sure if you are 16 and have stormy hormones devastating your inner being the chemical fluctuations of love will show at your doorstep but this will be mostly the product of nature and this will be something that happened to you and you had no control over because you at that particular point in time were not really you. It was a very strange mix of being young and naive, ignorant as well with an overwhelming hormonal influence. And while it might be easy to maintain a relationship in the first few months, things can get trickier with time and maintaining a strong long-term relationship is an art. It requires nurturing and investment. And GP often reflects on this point as he was very much involved in psychotherapy. He discussed how as a clinical psychologist he encourages his patients to date their wives and husband asking questions such as when was the last time you did something romantic together. Oftentimes the response is one year ago, two years ago. And there's also this example we've all been through replicating what modern nature does in a way which is that the first time when you are trying to impress someone so that you can have a relationship or have sex and in that particular moment you are more willing to put additional effort and time than ever before. So if you're following this line of thought, why are you not willing to do that for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? Why are you neglecting the flower in your garden? Now communication is one key aspect when talking about maintaining a relationship and there's also creative endeavor where constant inspiration and novelty need to be elements you need to learn to use and play with. And Jordan Peterson outlines a tactic you can use to at least attempt to achieve this type of scenario and that is to talk to each other at least 90 minutes a week. Asking questions about, you know, individual worries and trivialities as well because these are things that need to be discussed and you need the same amount of time to do something which is at least an approximation of romance and intimacy. And this again requires effort and sweat and this is why GP calls it an art. It needs repetition and if you can become good at it, you can start playing around with being spontaneous. Gradually sliding toward rule 11, this one states that you should not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful or arrogant. The reason why this is an important rule to pin down is due to the random and terrible forces that life will bring on you. Times when you will be constantly outmatched by the realities of human existence, there's this constant state of flux that's going to be filled with a lot of dreadful things such as fairness, moral injustice, betrayal, things that will make you suffer and decay, fall into the rage and sin and start hating life and everyone around you. And you can combat the fall into darkness by getting to know yourself better by asking questions. The first one Jordan Peterson suggests is what is the world made of and your subjective interpretation of the world is going to be your first clue. When you wake up in the morning, you might say that the world begins in your bedroom. You can see your sheets, your furniture, your significant other. You do not need to consciously apprehend what you already understand. You are there. But also when you wake up and see a world full of possibilities, things you can choose to do and things you can choose not to. So you might ask yourself, what should I make of the possibilities that I see and play in front of me? The offerings the world can serve, the potential you get on a silver plate does not follow logic. You have tragedy, you have comedy, you have good and evil and everything in between at the same time. We constantly ingest the advice that you should be here and now and I do resonate with that, but this device should not minimize our willingness to investigate the future and ask ourselves, what could be? Because this is the rise of a new being that you can unleash into a realm of paradoxical possibility. We must remind ourselves that there's unlimited potential out there and that we are alive and breathing and there's abundance to be seen. And Jordan Peterson argues that we, the modern people, often have a hard time understanding what the sacrifice is. The sacrifice implies having a sacrificial attitude will put us on a path to discovering a greater future that is going to be fueled by chaos. And also remind ourselves about our constant ability to negotiate and abandon instant gratification while keeping an active, long-term mindset in mind. But again, life is chaotic and unpredictable. And what happens to you might simply be the manifestation of that chaos, but you can get better in at least one way by attempting to construct small plans that will gradually push you forward. Deceit and arrogance are also brought to the table. And these are tools that we somehow unconsciously think that will give us an advantage and we avoid doing what we need to do and hide it in the shadows.  But what if we could constrain our malevolence and serve and transform our institutions more responsibly and be less resentful? What if we replace anger with gratitude and truth and work diligently to keep away the darkness that's constantly attempting to get us?  The final rule of the book expands on gratefulness and starts with the idea that being down only can define being up. Jordan Peterson believes that people do have the ability to confront and transcend their suffering psychologically and practically because without pain and sacrifice we will have nothing and only when we lose everything we are free to do everything. But we also need to have some sense on how bad things could be and keep ourselves humble and grateful. And we are indeed fascinated by darkness and evil we see it in media and TV shows and we read about it in books. Even the psychoanalysts believe that we are occupied by spirits that are beyond our control and conscious knowledge and the human race has been dealing with loss and death forever. And we do have the capacity to fight such evil. If you can be the one that chooses to fight a catastrophe the others will see real evidence that fighting is indeed possible. And as always if you think your life is hard and unfair there will be someone else facing hardships you could not even imagine. And there's going to be a chain with these unfortunate people also knowing others that might be more miserable than them. So countering that with your grateful attitude toward life itself being courageous, attentive, alert, observant can set you in a position that's on an upward spiral fighting life's suffering including those who are on a lower level of the chain with you as well. And you must remember that life is good just for life itself and not necessarily for you.  A weird paradox you'll have to embrace. Your existence is the most important thing in the world and the least important thing in the world. You can choose to have a view where the world is dreadful and unpleasant or you can have a view where you say, you know what, the world is both nasty and amazing and I just want to leave my part where I can contribute. I can just make something out of it and just do the best that I can whether it happens or not. I will simply control what's in my control.


You on my mind a lot don't need no time watch. I don't know how I got you in my pocket spot Yeah, this baby you every day you like my oxygen make it seem like the budget down got my heart No budget in front of the flow to the couch might wait the neighbors up Break you out in the end. We're gonna make a challenge. I want to thank the fan duel for letting me come out Come back to Philly be around the fans have a little bit of a basketball competition. I mean the environment I haven't experienced this in quite a while Just thank you for letting me be here to be with everyone and the activities the atmosphere is outstanding


g you yeah oh yeah they're not actually i don't i don't know whether or not uh now your logo's not lined up oh god you're just determined to upset me now you're perfect i was delighted i was the one upsetting you before we came on air now it sounds like if you were playing mic sock because we know you're not capable i was perfect to start off with um but no i i they they had some big names in it now and they even had a couple of guys from that have left fox recently and that kind of thing they were going to be on it but i don't know if they were offering anything that's really new and people have become so i think this is the news i know yeah but i'm finding myself more um you know more be more thoughtful on how much news i watch with everything that's going on i mean i mean i used to be voracious with what news i used to read three or four newspapers you'd be checking stories online then to see other takes and it and that kind of thing and to me i don't know if it's just the last two years maybe we'll get it back again you know they were just got a little bit o t t with everything i i've just kind of like put it aside it's sometimes even if i'm at home and the tv's on and the jingle comes on for news your tendency to go oh god no i can't i'm just not in the headspace first i didn't mind use and information sort of in an entertainment format you know but i like to just take a trunk of it and then yeah you know i like to step away as well you know i mean in the last few years i've learned to step away but but i thought cnn plus i actually thought it was a good idea i remember thinking it wouldn't be necessarily for me because you know how i feel about documentaries but i would have thought there would have been a large enough market uh to sustain a subscription model you see yeah i know yeah so if it were free to air maybe maybe yeah but it's a netflix model which netflix is in the news this week because they're having problems with their numbers massive drop off massive drop off but i have to say the the recent increase has made me even go yeah yeah a lot of people i'm kind of like going oh well what i'll do now is i i grace and frankie's coming next week and they'll watch crazy and then i'll drop out of it and then i'll pick it back up again in december when there's very little difference between say for instance uh the 4k option and four screens versus the hd option and two screens you know most people have tvs and they've got um screen stabilization and enhancement and stuff so they're not getting the benefit of true 4k anyway so you can save yourself five or six euro just switch down to the down to the other package but they're also planning to introduce a 499 advert supported model but true i mean you get the content but is that not what we kind of we went to netflix because we didn't want that like that's what's wrong with i mean even yesterday i was watching something on um the all four which is fantastic platform and it's free and i fully appreciate they need to throw a few pounds at it and there's only ever like in a half hour program like 24 minutes is what a half hour show would come up in it and there may only be like one advert it's not like that they pack them in and yet you still kind of find yourself at this point now going oh god is that stopping for an ad because we're just getting so used to not having ads in our lives like yeah big 10 so i yeah i i couldn't imagine netflix with ads i'd say they didn't let them do it but then again there's people who pay for the like society box office or disown streaming sports channels you know or or a street or a pay-per-view event they started introducing adverts during the breaks for boxing say for instance what have you so you know maybe the the general population don't mind don't mind you so much yeah all right uh but netflix is is the consolidating they're going to make up any losses through uh cracking down and this is going to be a problem for nula particularly uh cracking down on password sharing i know i bet you're how are they going to do that though because it's like Spotify you have to be at your home address for a period of time they check it every now and again and they know if if you're in don't a goal it's matched that location and it's in go away yeah say for example i just put it i could be i could be in go away i could be in the amount of time you watch it for you see so if you don't routinely watching it in go in go also in don a goal or vice versa yeah then it flags right this is not the same household this is not someone i'm holding they know what device you're watching i'm not even sure if anybody's using my netflix one at the moment so i'm using using an example no no no no press release mentions it does so that who if uh if disney get catch on i'm in trouble that's my thing because my sister barred us all off disney and i had to get it myself and now i don't know over that is she invited to the wedding uh she is barely just about i had to set up my own disney account and now somebody this is better than yellowstone oh my god family somebody in my family is using it and i don't know who it is but everything keeps coming up halfway watched all these kids movies and i'm like oh halfway watched it drives me mental i said set up your own profile now so especially if you're watching the same series oh yes where you finish off series one episode three and next thing it's episode eight yeah yeah yeah no i know i don't know i don't know i'm gonna have to set them all up on their futures bright they're facing more competition as i say they're gonna make up any losses competition is like and there's so many streaming like and what's interesting is so many of the new ones are like i i am db tv which is where the boss show has gone they're already rebranding themselves as free v which is the term name but the fact that they're really terrible yeah it's term name it's it's they're rebranding really soon and that's not good and cbs who do the shows like the good fight which used to be the good wife before and they do the star shows they've rebranded i think now three times and that's a sign that like they're just not long for this world is my opinion but there's something going on in america though because i was watching um there's an awful lot of sales going on of the big communications companies because i like to watch john oliver you know his show is on brilliant and he is uh gives out about everybody but he in particular has always given out about uh the people that own hbo and like over the last year and a half they're on their third conglomerate ownership really like 80 and tio eliminated that when they came in they're gone the same thing happened with paramount paramount they all everybody in in at work in paramounts arrived in and suddenly found out they're working for a different place so there seems to be a lot of stuff going on there with people changing a consolidation maybe or something because whoever's always i don't know if there's the programming or the customer base for all of these services and it's what happened really with with with the football when you used to watch football you subscribe to sky and you got all the games or as many games as they've televised and then that you could justify that expense maybe right because you would not go out or something like that there but then bt got some games and then amazon got some games so even if you subscribe to one of them you didn't get everything your team's game might be on the other platform and i just wonder you didn't know what was going on that might be more acceptable for sport but i just i just feel that and then watching netflix it's like a lot of bbc channel for stuff which you can get on the i player and more for anyway i don't know uh i but you know there's a struggle of stuff they they sent me an email the other day telling me oh new you know they go oh new program for you to watch it was about a guy who finds out that he's pregnant and the struggle that he goes through and it was in japanese i'm like i'm not 100% sure who netflix things i am anymore i feel we don't know each other like we used to is that all you have to email yeah was that all they had and well have we broke up did we break up me a netflix it's no longer know me i'll be honest to you it sounds to me like your relationships is on the rocks it definitely has this pregnant guy partnered with a police dog because if he has it is your kind of show didn't they do you know did you check there wasn't a talking dog no he's some kind of an advertising thing from what i read in the thing i obviously have not watched the show it's about a pregnant man in japanese but i was just like oh netflix i feel also right and this feeds into our first item here the whole idea of the streaming thing for me is that you binge it right that it's not scheduled it's not weekly episodes uh better call salt is back it's back for its final series on netflix it's it's a hugely popular show i think for some people they even prefer it to breaking back yes uh but it is back but it's do you know why it's weekly and not because it's not a netflix produced show it's produced by amc and they're also showing it on their platform yeah and it's it's a broadcast so that's the same they also do walking dead and so it's broadcast tv so it's on netflix over here but it's not a netflix show so for instance uh unlike we say russian doll which came back this week they can't put all the episodes out so that's why but it's a very valid point yeah some people one of the lads in the house is exactly the same like our netflix which is one of the housemates brother so we're in the same situation as you vanilla but it's his netflix officially but i love this honesty but we're cleansing isn't it yeah it's great i feel good that i finally got that but one of the other lad was saying to me he was like oh well the same thing he was like one a week oh no i'm gonna wait because i don't want to i'm like diving right in but he's like no he's gonna wait for seven weeks i watch the seven i need to have a few to start off because even the mcmoon night is on disney now and disney has a tendency to drop the m but usually what they do is they drop to it they would drop in two or three so at least you got into it but this time with this moon night now they haven't so i'm kind of waiting till the end now and i'm going to well disney is doing that they've set up themselves is to maximize pr and buzz because a new episode creates buzz and that way they get six weeks of buzz but they've spent uh 10 years conditioning in us yeah to watch everything all at the one time yeah for for right or wrong okay so uh as the first episode aired yet i'll solve yeah but two episodes came back this week brand two new episodes on what they're doing for the final seasons they're given seven one a week except for obviously it's first two and then we're taking a break from it and they're going to bring it back then for the final six in the summer i don't like that either because they did the same with breaking bad not breaking bad but ozak ozak yeah yeah seven and seven or the week after seven seven now the timeline's getting close is it to the beginning of breaking bad yes it is too far away no it's not very far away and in fact i mean this isn't a spoiler although it's a spoilery but the producers have said this it's out there the people of the two leads from breaking bad have confirmed that they will be back as the hook that's the hook yeah they will be back for this season in some form or other but you're absolutely right the timeline has basically almost caught up with the events of where sol came into the show as far as we know in breaking bad because for some people who aren't initiated better called sol is a prequel to better call sol to break bad so we're seeing the events that led up to the events of breaking bad um and again not just in terms of the timeline but in terms of the structure of the episodes i mean it's so much like breaking bad now it's really just badass and action packed and it's it's changed so much one of the reasons i think i prefer it to breaking bad and i do love breaking bad is that sol has changed so much as a show and it was terrible at the beginning i thought i thought i thought i hit it stride in the maybe the third or fourth i don't know i'm not good at time lining this up well that says it got more started becoming more breaking bad more breaking bad yeah that's that's a real term you can say that one another thing about the final season that's really i'm very happy to read is that anyone who who remembers the first season remembers there was a lady who was dressed all in red and she was terrible that had been money stolen and sol jimmy as he was then was still a decent guy and he'd come up against this woman well they're bringing her back and i always thought there was great potential in that character because she was completely listening to you final aim on all those emails paid off but she was such an immoral character it's like she just lied to his face about things he was able to prove do you remember he was like they had and she was like no no no we didn't do that and it's like brilliant so bringing her back now that jimmy has morphed into sol is going to be fun have you watched the first two episodes i watched the first one episode what did you think of him i loved it hits the ground running hits the ground running picks up brilliantly i had to go and read online what the heck happened two years ago in the last four episodes of course but it hits the ground running and a great thing about this show is that it's so meticulously constructed not the visuals are constructed beautifully but also gestures like kim i read this online i wasn't smart enough to spot it but kim pointing her finger a certain way mirrors a way that jimmy pointed his finger in an earlier episode indicating a character morph in the character of kim the beautiful things that they do on the show i know but it's just my mother would say it's not really you know tv but i love it but i love it so it's i'm and i deliberately i loved the first episode so much i was like i'm gonna take a break one character pointed the finger in the same way as another character and that means a character's morphing yeah it means that she's she's breaking bad as it were kim i don't know kim has concocted a plan at the end of the previous season to do a bad thing yeah to a pretty good character by i'm gonna also have to recap yeah so she's gonna do this thing but in that scene the way she pointed her finger goes back and it's deliberate it's the way that vince gilligan i know what you had to read about it like i know it's not an obvious thing admitted to it no no i don't mean that i'm just saying it's not like it's an obvious thing for regular people well excuse me excuse me rather than our irregular guests but you know what i mean sometimes i just wonder when you read is this because we didn't get to the show this week is that why is this what's going on here is this what's going on are people just imagining those kind of things no you know what i mean sometimes people imagine stuff in these things i want to do yeah but vince gilligan you're onto something there if you watch vince gilligan on youtube there's a couple of uh and i've watched them in their entirety there are a couple of you might claim that he might go i did that on purpose yeah why not so it is real it is real i'm gonna put my fingers in my ear i'm not listening to you it's real it's real it's real it's funny before finula joined us uh you used to put your fingers on the ears so now you've morphed back into the person you once were or or something very good i don't know maybe see it happens in real life right i've never seen it so i'm so yes it was good so the episode was good there the short answer okay michael leddie finula rabbit we're gonna be hearing from finula to see what she's interested in after

always sounds so cheerful okay that's nice uh greg netflix is cheaper through sky but you have to pay sky to get netflix so i wouldn't be going down that route but saying that i ditched in december for another i had to laugh as i heard a loud intake of breath from your man in sky he must have kids uh it's safe to record on channel four when you download a show from all four it disappears no more buffy uh by the way fenula says say third again third third third third okay you didn't say that wrong no you said it perfectly right do you want to pick one out here fenula you're sorry um well it's just that it kind of ties into what we were talking about last week which i'm assumed that you all went home and no the whole of denigal was i wasn't here last friday uh yeah you are was i thursday thursday we were here uh we're here thursday um i'm assuming everybody there goes my out thanks i'm assuming everybody went home and is absolutely addicted to is it cake and this this actually slipped my mind oh you fool you fools you fools you you're you just don't know it would totally be addicted to it did you watch uh well you watched the trailer and it was awesome uh well oh well i watched the trailer as well and it was yeah the trailer is amazing like listen these people are supremely talented i believe that is a simple and interesting uh concept for a program yeah it's very simple in history and it's just one of those things that it's like a half hour and you kind of just get a little bit addicted to it but anyways the reason why i mentioned this because you were supposed to watch it but you did not i was so much trouble it started bad it is getting worse oh my god our our relationship is coming to an end i see that um but the reason why i'm bringing it up is because i'm watching this program on sky atlantic and i'm not sure if it's getting the kind of kudos that it should be is that sand is it about people that make items out of sand on a beach no and then you have to kick it and if your foot hurts no no okay it's not is it sand no no i don't have a lot of idea right now because that's a good right here you know the exact no what this is is it's called julia it's on sky atlantic it stars uh sarah Lancaster who is from her uh is she a wee bit more might sarah no oh i actually like her and stuff okay i because she was on um which now of course you're gonna make me half remember happy valley yeah happy and she was also on last tango in halifax she's starting the soaps though was she she did she started in carnation street she was married to curly wats there for a while see how quickly now as soon as in something yeah straight out anyway i so i like her and stuff i think she's done a lot of like when she left the soaps where i was kind of like she'd sort of like the one that used to be that plays dr foster in that you know the way when they're in the soaps and then they leave it and you can't go i don't know and then they just take off and she's actually managed to take off but this has quite an american cast which is unusual for her because she from what i've seen of her stuff it's mostly been um english you know bmc tv you know a lot of the dramas that they've put together and she's very good in them but in this the sarah Lancaster and also then she's with david high pierce who is niles from frazier just for most people who don't know there's a load of other people from uh that you would know in it but basically the reason that i connected to the is this cake is because it is um a period of time for julia child and if anybody doesn't know who julia child julia child is one of the first if not the first tv chef okay she's the first successful tv chef so julia child was um a lady who was in her definitely mid 40s heading into her 50s she was married to a diplomat that's who her husband is who david hide pierce plays and she uh they lived all over europe and when she was living in france she went on a cookery course on a cordon blue cookery course in france and she just got addicted she's the type of a person who seems to have really enjoyed life you know what i mean she's a sort of a really tall uh in real life julia child was very kind of a tall sort of spoke with sort of a very funny very funny voice uh very kind of tall broad large lady and where's she from um she's american originally yeah so they spent all this time living in in europe she did cordon blue she came back to uh the u.s the husband was retired and herself and a woman that she met in france sit down and they write uh french chef the art of french cooking it became a best selling one of the first in america best-selling cookery books everybody was on it and then what she did was she ended up on uh pbs the public broadcasting she uh kind of finagled her way onto this show and she and it ended up being syndicated and it was all over america this part of this program is a sir lancaster plays julia child it's about them having just returned to america the book is already written and they are going forward then with uh it talks about how she got the tv program but what's interesting about that is not just that but it talks about it kind of deals with the relationship between herself and her husband like this is back in the uh you know 60 70s kind of time there is so it deals with the relationship with the husband that suddenly she's the bread earner she's the one she you know he's been a high flying diplomat now all of a sudden she's the one that's been recognized everywhere on the street their lives have changed and it also deals with a lot of inter the a lot of interesting stuff about how public television is being developed how syndication is is being developed in america because she's one of the first shows that this happened to as well there is a little bit of racial tension and different things like that through it so it's just i'm really really enjoying it i have to say it dropped on sky atlantic with four episodes there's eight episodes in total so the first four went down and then there now they're weekly for the last four and it's on tuesdays at nine she is amazing in it i have to say i think you would barely recognize sarah lancaster in it people may remember a little bit about the julia tide story there was a meryl street played her years ago in a movie called julia and julia i remember that yep it was it was familiar to me and that's why it was about that was about a woman who lost her job and did a blog and did had the cookbook and did one story this is really more about julie child and it's just so interesting to think what started off and you know the way people are reacting to it and what's coming up against it and compare that to now where in fairness i don't think there's any channel anywhere that doesn't have at least one show that's related to cooking or baking or something this is such a thing and this is really one of the first successful ones so absolutely love it facebook agrees she says i love watching julia great program really enjoyed enjoyed it or enjoying it yeah it's really there's just something really nice about it as in you know the relationships uh that between the different people the type of woman that she is because she is not somebody who found it very easy in life to be accepted she married late in life she did you know uh she as i said you know she's very tall she's very brash she's very loud people you know uh through it she kind of talks about difficult times that she'd had you know in in in making friends and meeting people because she's not kind of what the typical woman of the time would have uh you know supposedly been so it's very i'm really enjoying it and the the the two actors in it are amazing and there's a huge did you stumble on this and it was like oh wow this is yeah it just kind of came along and i i saw i didn't even know that it was coming or whatever and then i realized that seara lancaster was in it and i do like her stuff so i said oh i'll check this out and see what it is but now um i it i've just really enjoyed it there's just something really nice about it good there's nothing heavy nothing too much but it's just there's a lovely kind of interaction between the characters excellent i suspect it's not going on your list it sounds very good actually the background to syndication and the tv thing of it would take my body stuff in there that might attract you right we're going to be hearing another both of you are ncsi fans aren't you ncis fans yeah i have them up not up to date on ncis but okay well fine the thing is we'll take a break and come back all right thanks all right thank you very much okay we will be back just to remind you by the way if you missed

welcome back to the nine till noon show the last hour of the week in studio with michael leddie and finula rabbit okay so ncis disney final seasons is what's written in front of me is there not like a million of them ncis everywhere no no one though they they they did branch out and there was a new orleans and there was a las angeles i'm a puritan i only like the original okay and but no i the only reason why i put it down and the thing was that it was on fx and it was tipping away nicely on it and then of course uh sky pulled fx and all of a sudden then you could no longer watch it so there was nowhere it's not like it's if it moved to such yeah it never moved to another place um on the on the sky so i'm assuming if it's not on the sky it's not on the free view as well you know what i mean i think they just don't have it in this uh in this part of the world but now what they've done is i mean people have been watching it a long time like they're seventeen series yes and it pulled midway through season 15 it wasn't even like was that a series end or whatever it just happened the way that it fell but what they've done now is disney have i don't understand it but the whole lot is up on it so you can watch it i don't know who owns what or what where it comes from but all of a sudden now um the 17 series is up on it and the eight what i really like about it is is why i would kind of watched it and went back to it is because in the last couple of years it's been in the news quite a bit because there was a lot of behind the scenes kind of controversy going on mark harman has not come out of it very well um and i always used to like mark harman you know i loved him yeah back in the day always yeah who will love my children oh very oh they remember those have heartfelt movie i remember those movies right true life movie yes or or i remember that one yeah but i have that one actually i have that movie yeah he what does ncis stand for anyway naval criminal investigative service service so it's in the sea uh it's not but it's all navy based crimes and the thing about it is too much you're going to yes you're on ravel it very quickly yes so which one of my there's another one man this is CSI okay it's a different one yeah but that's the same thing as well they just said you're for it but CSI is coming back now the original yeah it's back it's back yeah well it's absolutely yeah it's nowhere that i've found but it the end of the program like this well they didn't end it to see what happened was it was just the channel ended because it says final season yeah that confused me too because no no now it is before you start greg's not letting this one go the last couple of it is called i i fully appreciate i mean i could i could have chosen maybe a more clear word for you but basically it's terrible isn't it i don't look so bad now in fairness i don't look so bad to ring hr and report you to myself oh it's always good i wonder how that'll go i know hr is actually far i know i'm a feeling i'm gonna win have you seen the new episodes because the thing is i haven't seen it i'm not up to date but i know gary kohl who i love even more than mark harman he's the new oh no that's not happened yet now uh this is only up as far because i'm very curiously that's the whole thing mark harman uh was involved in it uh the girl that played abbey had been in it all the way from the beginning all of a sudden herself and mark harman fell out then and what's i'm on season 15 now and it is hilariously funny once you know that they have fell out because they are never in the same room together right yeah once you know behind the scenes never they they completely refuse to work together and considering that he's the lead investigator and she's the lead forensic it is and their characters were were written as being very close oh my god he's like a father she's like the daughter that he'd lost it the whole thing it's just when you're watching do you think they considered writing that in no they really didn't but you know just writing in the distance the tension i i said the tension had reached such a level now i'd say that they couldn't have written it apparently it was unbelievable but that happened that's in season 15 and then by season uh end of season 16 into um 17 mark harman leaves now mark harman was mark harman was so big in this program that the guy that wrote it wrote the show and originally produced the show was sacked he was because he didn't get on with mark harman that's right so like this is how much mark harman is part of the ncis franchise program the whole thing yeah yeah i recognizing people or you definitely would see back in the day he was in else where reasonable doubts he was on a show called 240 robert rescue helicopter rescue thing be actor but in quite a lot of films where he was just yeah maybe playing you know secretary states yes he had a couple of tv shows in which he kind of was it wasn't the end one that where he flew some hidden helicopter thing i don't know airwolf uh no it's not him no i don't know the helicopter one even was 240 robert that was like chips but with a helicopter oh that must have been that was the one back in the late he used to be really big and to load us up like i was in that kind of a 80s sort of a and chicago hope was another big hit he was a part of the ensemble for chicago hope so he's been consistently working since the late 70s like his first tv show was show called sam and it was about a cop with a police dog no joke this stuff writes itself no but anyways he's in this and it's very it's just interesting seed and it just i know and i'm sure i'm not the only person out there that's kind of used to drop in and drop out of it and wondered what had happened and where it was going and if you have disney it is now available in the least in the last couple of weeks that's a bit of news uh inundated with literally one birthday request here happy birthday greg hope you for fabulous birthday thank you from that caller one person appreciate it hi all i haven't this is actually a really good question uh michael i haven't watched either uh better call soul or breaking bad if i was to should i watch soul first i would say no i would also say because you need sort of the knowledge of breaking bad to sort of then enjoy elements of better call soul but if they start watching breaking bad they may be prepared to dedicate you know much of the year to this because it's very hard to stop watching you could start with soul you could but you only did you'd miss elements like when somebody points their finger a certain way no it's significant no you could start with soul but now you're better off starting with breaking bad because that's how the story unfolded yeah and i think it's better call soul is written to follow breaking bad even though the events happen part of the fun of soul is seeing the foreshadowing of events that we've seen the one thing i would say about breaking bad is stick it for me anyway and i've said this before you have to i think the certain elements of sticking it out through the first season and then it really for me anyway then it really sort of uh it really caught on i find you know but that's just me anyway no i think i watched it and i never got to the fit into the first season and i never went back yeah well i did that two or three times and people kept saying you have to watch it you have to watch it to the point i was in the other camp i have to say i loved the first episode like the first

same today so it's going to be generally generally dry with a mix of cloud and hazy sunny spells becoming breezy too in moderate to fresh east to northeast winds with uh temperatures 13 to 15 degrees and it's going to stay dry seems well into next week which is good news for those of you going to see ed sheeran uh in croke park saturday and sunday it's going to be dry but strangely and maybe almost typically for anyone from the northwest going to uh dublin it's going to be warmer uh in the northwest than it is in dublin the east coast is getting the the colder temperatures right russian doll on the netflix russian doll on netflix uh the first series of this was in 2019 and there was eight episodes on that it was one of the best things netflix ever had it was critically acclaimed 97 percent on on rat tomatoes universal acclaim and i loved it natasha leon who i knew from orange is the new black she was one of the standouts in that show and that was a hell of a cast and yet she still managed to stand out in that cast and i love that show this was her baby and the first season was one of those shows where you didn't really think it could possibly have a second season because it worked so well as a season on its own and in the first season it was the story of nadia who on her 37th birthday became trapped in a time loop and she began reliving that night over and over again running different permutations of it and although we've seen that done before i russian doll really did it in a brilliant clever just a wonderful way and it had a great season and it was just fantastic it as well as natasha leon starring in it she's also one of the writers and directors for the show and amy polar is the other executive producer and she's one of the people behind it the show was back for a second season i didn't necessarily think it could do a second season but again it's got universal acclaim 98 percent on rat tomatoes i didn't watch the trailer so i didn't know what i was sitting down to watch last night and i was absolutely blown away because what she has done and natasha leon she wrote this episode and she directed this episode and she stars in this episode and what she has done which is not something you see very often on tv she's completely reinvented the show with for the second season so it's not a time loop anymore okay it's a different type of time thing and i don't want to spoil it because i i wasn't spoiled for me and i was halfway through the episode and i was like oh i see what's happening here so what i will say is it's not the same thing as season one it's a complete reinvention of the idea using the same character and once again as she says that the universe is playing games with her i'll be i'll be polite that's not the way she describes it but the universe is playing games with her yeah she the universe is playing games with her and once again the universe has taken her and done something crazy with her and i think it's brilliant and i love what leon does she's an amazing performer she's got a an energy and a way of and the dialogue she gives her character is just it's amazing it's a really really good show so we get seven episodes this time the episodes are only half hours so it's an easy watch i didn't binge it because i want to save her as much as possible um i won't give away the twist but i will say if anyone who's a big fan of 1990s science fiction tv they'll instantly recognize what's going on in the show and they'll see what she's doing and it's really good for those so excited if it is what i think it is or you can say off everything because i don't want to spoil it for people i don't want to spoil it but it's a time travel it's a great it's a great idea and it's it's something different it's a great idea and it means that if the show goes on for a third season she can do something else like it's like she's really taking and i'm giving her all the credit i'm giving her all the credit because what she's done here is she's taken the idea and said let's reinvent our show and do something different with it why did you keep speaking when i said that so i reckon because we're nearly out of time Greg i'm only looking at the clock i didn't even hear you sorry your microphone was off but you're the one gave clues and what do you do with clues you do guesses so it's a great show right devil returns to skytelantic next week we've only got about a minute and a half uh i i didn't know it was there to begin with no do you remember what we watched it before we mean you this is just season two is coming but actually if i'm going to mention anything is keep an eye out for the redemption it just started on virgin it started on monday you can watch it now it's a gritty police drama i'm told a gritty police drama in it is uh the it's about this liver puttley and uh police officer who finds out that her daughter uh who has been missing from her life anyways has been found dead in dublin so it's set in dublin she then gets herself reallocated back over to dublin and in it and in it then is i'm assuming it's going to unfold in that way yeah it's only just started i really enjoyed the first one it definitely has enough of a hook it's shot in dublin it's going to be a lot about kind of drugs opiates that kind of thing in the is it an Irish production it is an Irish production original like the lady that plays the lead in it i don't know her but she's people other people will recognize her she's been in hunger games she's been in a few other big things that have been on her boss in it is sister michael from dairy girls which is really what drew me to it in the first place uh because i don't i wanted to see her do something completely different dramatic and see could i see her outside it but uh just i've only seen the first one but it's definitely worth checking it out positive listen uh finula have a fantastic weekend all right and uh we'll see you next week right okay okay uh yeah well listen if you get that out of the way we'll be happy uh michael we'll we'll see you next week thank you very much for joining us have a fantastic weekend have a fantastic
