There's too many J names are our guests for today was supposed to be our friend Jorge Martin but something came up so that was another J that was going to be on here though. I guess we'll call it four J's in one S. Guys are you ready for some fantasy fortune. Ready. Absolutely. I think I think we go ahead and go in. I'm going to go ahead and pull up this first puzzle for you guys. I predetermined the order before the show started. The order we're going to be playing in is JL Joey then J wall how this game works for those of you who have not played with us before or for the people on the show who may have forgotten. This is fantasy fortune. It is just like the popular show Wheel of Fortune except we're going to be answering 5050 NFL or fantasy trivia questions in order to guess a letter. If you get your question right you'll have the opportunity to guess a consonant to put on the board. Every consonant that appears will give you $500. You can buy a vowel during your turn at any time except after a question has been asked and vowels will cost 100 per each instance of it showing up on the board. If you get three questions if you get three in a row right and a letter right you'll have five seconds to solve the puzzle but all that money is going to be banked and we will move on to the next person. We'll keep going like this until we run out of time. The person with the most money at the end of our show is the fantasy fortune champion for today. Let's go. It's going to be me. I've already won a game today. I'm on a streak. A one game winning streak. I guess I'm obligated to say, Hey, Jay, while you're ready to lose. Yes, I am. Yeah, yeah. Josh, what about so Maria in here said if you had to pick a new name with a J Simon, not gymen, what would it be? Yeah, I would take after my father, I would take my father's name and my name would be Johannes J O A N N E S. That's, that's the name I would pick. That's a J name that counts, right? Sure. That's a weird J name, but yeah, we'll keep it in the family. And Mr. Scamper said I love gymen. Yeah, gymen is obviously my first choice. And then Johannes. Okay, guys, there is no toss up puzzle for today. We are just going to jump straight into this first puzzle. So let me go ahead and pull that up here. And as usual, we are starting with an NFL player. Explain the rules first. I already went through all the rules, Jay. I already went through them all. I went through every rule. I explained the rules. All right, all right, all right. I also mentioned, um, yeah, I did the call to action as well. Everything's good, Jail. I haven't forgotten anything yet except for your name. Good. I'm going to enjoy my super hard questions. Okay, Jail, are you ready for your first question? Or would you like to solve? I am. Nope. Jail, my question for you is who had more fantasy points, PPR fantasy points in 2021? Was it Derek Carr or was it Mark Andrews? Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews is correct with 30 more fantasy points than Derek Carr on the season just about. Which letter would you like, Jail? I'll take, uh, I'll take an S. There is one S, Jail. That's going to have $500 to your total. Would you like to buy a vowel or would you like another question? Sure. I'll buy an O. An O for Jail. There are two O's that's going to subtract 200 from your total right there. I forgot who this is. Oh, I remember. I'll need another question. Okay. And guys, one reminder, Jail, I'm so sorry. I did forget one rule. Make sure you guys are out of the chat and in the private chat out of the comments. I saw someone with a guess in there not saying it's right or wrong, but I just want to make sure you guys are over there in the private chat as well. Jail, your next question is who had more rushing yards in the 2021 regular season? Who had more rushing yards? Was it Melvin Gordon or was it Lamar Jackson? Melvin Gordon. Melvin Gordon is correct. With 918 to Lamar Jackson, 767. Which letter would you like? I'll take an N. I'll take an N. An N for Jail. There are two N's that's going to add another 1,000 to your total. Jail, just a reminder, this is going to be your last question. So this is your last opportunity to buy a vowel. Would you like to buy a vowel? Take another question or do you want to solve? Uh, I guess I'll take another question. Another question for Jail. Okay, my question for you, Jail, is who had more receiving touchdowns on the season? Who had more receiving touchdowns? Was it Amari Cooper or was it Justin Jefferson? This feels like a trap. Justin Jefferson. It was Justin Jefferson with 10 to Amari Cooper's 8. You didn't fall for the double trap on that one, Jail. Which letter would you like? A reminder, if you get this, you'll get to bank your points. I don't know. I'll go with a, I'll go with a, oh, okay, I know it now. I'll go with a B. Okay, that's going to add a thousand to your total Jail and you've got five seconds to solve. Robbie Anderson. Nice job, Jail, on that one. You went wall to wall. What's the phrase? Is it wall to wall? You ask me this every time. Table to table. You went table to wire, Jail, on that first. I went farm to table with that one. Farm to table on the first question, getting it completely right. So I'll come to you first on this one. So we know the quarterback situation in Carolina was a little bit of a mess this year and I'm not sure we see signs of it improving for next year. What kind of value does Robbie Anderson hold for you in this offense with DJ Moore kind of being the target hog there at least of late? Not much value. Not much value at all until we see what they're going to do. I mean the offensive line was atrocious. Who knows who their quarterback is going to be next season if they end up getting somebody else in the off season or if they keep trying to go with Sam Darnold. I don't know, but Robbie Anderson to me is one of those like lower value flex players going forward, very, very low. Jay, what about you? Do you agree with Jail there? Do you have a slightly different take on Robbie Anderson? Yeah, I mean he's only had one real solid season and outside of that he's just never had a season where he gets enough targets to be relevant. Yeah, I tend to agree with you guys. We've seen flashes of that talent and of that speed and how he can be used in an offense, but I'm not sure this Carolina Panthers offense is the one to do it. Mr. Scampers in the chat got it before anybody on the show. Nice job Mr. Scampers. And then said the destroyer of my soul this year. Yeah, Robbie Anderson destroyed a couple of souls this year I think out there on the field. Okay guys, are you ready for our next puzzle Joey? You're going to get to go first on this one. And this is NFL player movie mashup for this puzzle. So a reminder and an example of one of these is like Boston Scott Pilgrim versus the world. Or Jail, what was one that you did last week? The curious case of Eno Benjamin Button. There we go. That's another one. So it could be something along those lines. So guys make sure you are back in the private chat and Joey, would you like to solve or would you like a question? I'd like a question. Okay Joey, my question for you is who had more PPR fantasy points in the 2021 season? Who had more PPR fantasy points? Chris Godwin or was it Marquise Brown? Chris Godwin. Chris Godwin is correct by over 20 points Joey. Which letter would you like? I'd like a T please Alex. A T, Alex. That'll add $1,000 to your total Joey. Would you like to buy a vowel or would you like another question or can you solve? How much of the vowels? A hundred per each time it shows up. Give me another question. Okay, we'll take another question. Yeah, Joey. Be like your friend Jail and listen to the rules. Who had more receiving yards in the 2021 season? Who had more receiving yards? Was it Terry McLauren or was it Jacobi Myers? F1. I'll go Terry McLauren. Terry McLauren is correct by almost 200 yards. Joey, which letter would you like? R. R for Joey. There are four R's. Add $2,000 to your total. So Joey, just a reminder, this is your last opportunity to buy a vowel. After this question, if you get it right and get a letter, you'll get five seconds to try to solve. Would you like to buy a vowel or do you want to go straight to the next question? I want to buy an A. You want to buy an A. There are three A's in this puzzle. So that'll subtract 300 from your total Joey. What are you doing now? Buying another vowel? Solving it or another question? Yeah, I'm going to buy an E. There are three E's as well in this. So we'll subtract another 300 from your total. Oh, no. Would you like another question? Would you like to buy another vowel? Another question. Another question for Joey. Okay, Joey, my question for you is which team had more passing yards? Which team had more passing yards in the 2021 season? Was it the Bills or was it the Steelers? The Bills. The Bills are correct with 4,450 to the Steelers, 4,017. I was actually a little bit surprised to see how high they were. Joey, if you get this letter right, you will bank this money no matter what. Which letter would you like? Give me an H so I can bank the money. There is one H. So Joey, that'll add 500 to your total. You get five seconds to try to solve this puzzle and then I'll move it onto J-Wall. Go ahead and move onto J-Wall.  We're going to move onto J-Wall in a few seconds. You know what, J-Wall? I would put pressure on Joey, but you got the answer.  Do you want a question, J-Wall? Oh, yeah, I have no idea. I guarantee I don't even know this movie. Okay, J-Wall, my question for you is who had more fantasy points in the 2021 season? And this is PPR. All fantasy point questions are going to be, excuse me, in the PPR format. So who had more PPR fantasy points in the 2021 season? Was it Daryl Williams or was it Mike Davis?  Why don't you go with Mike Davis? I'm sorry. Daryl Williams had 196 to Mike Davis has 138.2 J-Wall. So we are going to be moving on to J-L on this one. J-L, you sounded like maybe you knew the answer to this one. I would like to solve, Alex. Rugrats in Paris Campbell the movie. You got it, J-L. It is Rugrats in Paris Campbell the movie. Nice job there. So that is going to add 1,000 to your bank J-L bringing you to 3,300. Joey close behind with 2,900 and J-Wall at zero. Jay got it in the chat. Jay got it before anybody here. So nice job, Jay. I wasn't sure how long it was going to take you guys to get that one. I was having a hard time gauging the difficulty there. J-Wall, have you in fact seen Rugrats in Paris the movie? No, my mom wouldn't let me watch Rugrats thrown up. Oh my gosh. Well, watch it now. Actually, I don't know if it holds up at all. Maybe don't watch Rugrats in Paris Campbell the movie. Did Doug ever get a movie? Doug like Doug in like the dog. Yeah, with Porkchop the dog. What was his superhero name? What was Porkchop superhero name? Quail Man. No, Quail Man was Doug. No, but Porkchop also wore like a little outfit whenever he became Quail Man. We are getting way off topic. Sorry. No, no, no. The Doug show is right after this, I think, where we talk exclusively about Doug for an hour. Which is called Doug. It's just called Doug. You're right. Get it right. Sorry about that. Guys, we are going to go ahead and load up our next puzzle on this one. You guys are working through these quickly. Your next category is things announcers say. So this is going to be something that you might hear an announcer say during a game. JL got that one right again. Penetration doesn't fit Simon. So I don't know what this could be. Yeah, that's the only thing they say. Maybe, um, maybe when they're not on the clock. It's the thing they say second most besides. Here's a guy doesn't fit either. Joey, do you want a question or would you like to solve? I thought J. J. Wall was first. No, because JL got that one correct. So you are going first. I would like a question. Okay. My question for you is true or false. The Los Angeles Rams are five and a half point favorites over the San Francisco 49ers this weekend. True. I'm sorry. That is false. They are three and a half point favorites this weekend. The Rams are only three and a half point favorites against the San Francisco 49ers. So J. Wall, we are moving on to you. Are you ready for your question? Born ready. Okay. True or false. The Kansas City Chiefs are seven and a half point favorites against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. False. I'm sorry, J. Wall. That is true. The Cincinnati Chiefs are seven and a half point favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. Okay. The Cincinnati Chiefs over the Cincinnati Bengals. Everybody's from Cincinnati now. J. L. Are you ready for your question? I'm ready. Okay, J. L. My question for you is according to the fan dual sportsbook who is more likely to be an anytime touchdown score in the Bengals Chiefs game this weekend. So who is more likely to be an anytime touchdown score? Is it Travis Kelsey or is it Joe Mixon? Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey is the correct answer.  Which letter would you like? I will take an R. An R. Bonk. Sorry, J. L. I jinxed you with that one. Joey, are you ready for your question? I have never been more ready for anything in my entire life. Let's go. You've never been more ready for anything in your entire life. Fatherhood. No one's ever ready for fatherhood. That's fair. I think I was. I read the books. The rest of the podcast. I didn't listen to any. That's probably why you weren't ready. It's the books and the podcast, I think, that get it done. But Joey, are you ready for your question? Let's go. Let's do it. My question for you, Joey, is who has more all-time passing yards? So this is an all-time passing yards question. Is it Drew Brees or is it Peyton Manning? Drew Brees. Drew Brees is correct with about 9000 more passing yards than Peyton Manning in his career. Which letter would you like, Joey? A T. T for Joey. There is one T that is going to add 500 to your total. Would you like another question? Would you like to buy a vowel? Let me buy an O. An O for Joey. There are three O's, Joey. That's going to subtract 300 from your game bank. What would you like to do now? Your options are solver. Get a question. It's less than 300. I won't allow anyone to buy vowels. OK, my question for you is, who was drafted first in 2021 according to fantasy data ADP? Who was drafted first? OK. Was it AJ Brown or was it CD Lam? AJ Brown. AJ Brown is correct. He was the eighth wide receiver off the board, where CD Lam was the 11th wide receiver off the board. Which letter would you like, Joey? Give me an R. JL already guessed the R, and it wasn't there. Try again. M is in mouse. M is in mouse. There are two M's in this puzzle, Joey. That's going to add 1,000 to your total. Joey, a reminder, this is your last chance to buy a vowel. I'll ask you to solve the puzzle. If you get it right, would you like to buy a vowel? Or do you want another question? I'll buy an A. An A for Joey. Three A's in this puzzle. That'll subtract 300 from your game bank. What would you like to do now, Joey? Do you want a question? I would like a question or the question. So I was looking at it. No, you're good. You're good. OK. My question for you, Joey, is who had more passing yards on the season? Who had more passing yards? Was it Kyler Murray or was it Kirk Cousins? Passing yards? Passing yards. I'm going to say Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins is correct with 4,221 to Kyler Murray's 3,787. Which letter would you like, Joey? N. There are two N's in this puzzle. That'll add 1,000 there. So Joey, you're going to bank this money, but you get five seconds to try to solve. I'll give you a hint, Joe. The first word's kimono. We're going to move on to J-Wall, but I'm going to make sure to bank that money for you, Joey. Joey, you're making money just off the trivia right here.  I just feel like someone needs to make a play, you know? Yeah. Are you solving that puzzle? Yeah. J-Wall, would you like to solve? Would you like a question? Or would you like someone needs to make a play? J-Wall solves the puzzle. Get the $1,000 on the board. Nice job, J-Wall. You threw me off there. J-Wall. J-Wall. J-Wall. And Mr. Scamper's in the chat came in right around the same time you did, J-Wall. So you guys were neck and neck on answering that. J-Wall. Oh, I didn't even see J-Wall's in there. Nice job, J-Wall. Absolutely killed it. And Maria's saying, why do I keep seeing tomato? I don't know. She might want to get that checked out. She might want to get that checked out. Oh, yeah. Beat you to it. Dang it. We hang out too much, J-Wall. And Mr. Scamper's saying, J-Wall. You did it, J-Wall. You're now on the board. J-Wall in the third place with 1,000. J-Wall in second. With 3,300. And Joey with 4,800. And Daddy Fandle in here saying, someone needs to make a guess. Somebody needs to. Oh, wait. I didn't know the puzzles so I didn't get the joke. Whenever J-Wall said it. I'm usually part of the chat. And now I look in the chat. It's absolutely destroying me. It's top when you're sitting here and the letters are coming up and the spotlight's on you. The spotlight's on you, and the fans are cheering behind you at stuff. Simon's throwing trivia at you. My jail's sexy voice is serenading you. Yeah, it just gets sexy. Oh, and Joey's the serenader. What's that mean to go on? I'll talk all through it. Guys, we are going to go ahead and pull up our next puzzle for the day. This one is fantasy football terms. So these are all fantasy football terms. Things that you might say when talking about fantasy football or some vocabulary that the fantasy football players need to know what it means, what it stands for.

Joey, just in the nick of time, you've got it. Nice job, Joey. That was impressive. The double A's were throwing me off. Oh my God. I didn't know that last, the waiver one. I was trying to get the waiver one, too. I thought about giving you guys like a clue that there may be abbreviations in there, but then that would have given the puzzle away right away. You guys can figure it out. When Joey said waiver and I was like, he's not going to get Fab, I was like, he literally just gave me the puzzle. I almost didn't say anything because I was like, well, everything's obvious. It's up there. Except for waiver. Everything's about waiver. So yeah. Also coming in now Beach 89 says I'm doing 200 pushups tonight. Wow. All at once. Pressive. That's impressive. In a row.  JR in here saying Super Flex, PPR, Fab. That was a couple minutes ago.

They will do you want to solve? Do you want to buy a vowel? Or would you like to make a question? The health player and actor mashup. It would be Matt Ryan Reynolds, but it's not. So let's just move on. Well, Well, I'm not going to count that against you, but I'm going to steal that puzzle for another time. Would you like a question? J wall or do you want to buy a vowel?

Is this all like one letter? I said M as in Nancy. Oh, sorry about that. Well, you'll have to guess it on your next turn. J-Wall, are you ready? I feel good about this one right here. I feel like there's going to be some letters on the board right now. Who had more PPR fantasy points in 2021 in the regular season? Was it DK Metcalfe or was it Amun Ra St. Brown? Amun Ra St. Brown. I'm sorry, it was DK Metcalfe had more fantasy points. Amun Ra came on at the end, but not enough to pass DK. Joey, are you ready for your question? I love this puzzle because I can just run out the clock. I'll take a question, please. Okay, we're going to stay with PPR fantasy points. Who had more PPR fantasy points in the 2021 regular season? Was it Dalvin Cook or was it James Robinson? Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook is correct with a little over 30 more fantasy points on the season, Joey. Which letter would you like to try to put on the board? M as in Nancy. M as in Nancy. There are two Ns in this puzzle, Joey. That's going to add a thousand to your total. Would you like to buy a vowel or would you like another question? I would like a question. Okay. And guys, just so you know, no one in the chat has gotten this either. There is no one in the chat who has gotten this. It's surprising. There are no letters on the board. I'm just letting you guys know. I know part of it. This is killing me. Okay. My question for you is who has more receiving yards in the postseason so far? So who has more receiving yards? Is it Jarek McKinnon or is it T Higgins? T Higgins. I'm sorry. It is Jarek McKinnon. Jarek McKinnon has 135 receiving yards in the postseason. J-Wall, you look excited down there. Do you want to solve? Okay. So I was like the only reason I'm ever going to know these is if it's a kids movie because that's like all I watch. Is this like Mike Williams? It is like Mike Williams, J-Wall. You got it. Nice job on that puzzle. That one took a minute, but J-Wall is going to get it. You're going to bank $1,000 for that puzzle. Bringing it up to $2,000. Coincidentally, the chat got it right before J-Wall. J-R got it. It was like Mike Williams. Very suspicious. And Albert came in with a guess for Magic Mike Williams. Nice. I actually had Magic Mike Williams first and then changed it to like Mike Williams because I've seen like Mike and I haven't seen Magic Mike. He should see Magic Mike. It's good. Is it a good movie? It actually is really good. Steven Soderberg directed it. Okay. We're going to do an FYI. I know what it's about. Listen, but it's good. Hey, it wouldn't be the first Chaining Tata movie I really enjoyed. Guys, we are going to move on to our next puzzle in a moment. Before we do. Yeah. Jay said looking like Dabble to the Giants. Did I say it? Dabble? Like Dabble? Dabble. Dabble. Isn't it? I don't know. Is it Dabble? I don't know. And then fantasy Giants hiring Brian Dabble. Fantasy outlook for Danny Dimes going up. Yeah. I think it's a good hire for them. It makes sense. I know Giants fans are probably fairly happy about that hire as well compared to some of the names that we'd seen floated out there. But we'll see if I know there's rumors about Daniel Jones not being on the team next year, right? But you have to think with that all coming over that little bit. And if Daniel Jones is part of this offense, that would be an up arrow for him. Dabble. Dabble. Maybe. I don't think they'll run as many QB sneaks next year. Maybe. QB sneaks for Daniel Jones on this one. Guys, before we move on from this puzzle, I did want to ask, so Joey, we'll start with you. Mike Williams started out the season super hot. He was like the wide receiver of two through the first five weeks of this season and then did not finish nearly as strong. What are your expectations for Mike Williams going into next season? Is it more of what we saw in the first quarter of the season or the back three quarters? So I actually do like him next year. I think anybody that's catching balls from Justin Herbert is going to put up stats next year. I really do. And if he stays with the Chargers, I believe he has one more year there before it will cost the Chargers a lot to get him out of the contract. So I would definitely be fine with drafting Mike Williams. It may be like six rounds. Jail, what about you on this one? Yeah, I like Mike Williams. I think we've talked about him in previous streams that he goes to another team. It's hard for me to imagine him being in that situation. I really hope that they're able to sign him to a long-term contract during the offseason. That's my hope. If they're able to do that, in my opinion, his fantasy value is going to skyrocket. Or not skyrocket, it's going to go up. I think people are still going to be concerned because just the consistency hasn't been there. And hopefully they start using him like they were using him in the beginning of the season. It was working for them. And then it seemed like he probably got injured and he was playing through injury and they just started targeting him less. So hopefully the offseason gives him time to recover and they go back to the strategy that was working. Yeah, I'm with you, Jail. If they used him like they did in the first time of the season, the Chargers team looked better as well whenever they were using him like that. It wasn't just he was better for fantasy. That Chargers offense looked like one of the best players in the season. But I hope they do that. But the other point you brought up, Mike Williams plays like a madman. So while some players I know we say don't predict injuries, Mike Williams is, I don't want to say reckless on the field, but I mean that as like a compliment. Like he will sacrifice his body for the ball. He will climb that ladder, get a pile in on his back. So that effort sometimes translates to injury like we've seen with players like George Kittle as well that plays similarly violent. Is that the word reckless? That's the word would be for how these guys play. But it's fun to watch, but it can definitely be detrimental to their physical health on the field. Coming here now, Beach 89 says it's a great hire for Josh Allen. Brian Dabel is insane not letting Josh throw in the first half. Yeah. I know you were you were mad about that right after the game happened saying let Josh Allen throw. But yeah, but that bill's offense is working pretty good. So we'll see what the bills are able to conjure together an offensive coordinator. You guys ready for our next puzzle? Let's go. And J. Wall got that one right, which means J. L. We are starting with you. This is same team first names. So these are three first names on the same NFL team. Okay. Is that a question or would you like to solve? Um, I need, I need a question. You need a question. Okay, J. I'll my question for you is who had more rushing touchdowns on the season? Who had more rushing touchdowns? Was it the Ravens or was it the Packers? Um, the Ravens. The Ravens are correct with 18 to the Packers 13. What letter would you like JL? Take a T. A T. There are two T's jail in this puzzle that's going to add $1,000 to your bank. What would you like to do here? Do you want to buy a vowel or would you like another question? Um, I'll buy a vowel. I'll buy an A. An A for JL. There are three A's in this puzzle that's going to subtract 300 from your total. Would you like to buy another vowel? Would you like a question or would you like to solve? Would you do this? Uh, I'll buy a vowel. Oh God. This could screw me. I'll buy an E. There is one E and that is the last vowel in this puzzle JL. I'll solve. Okay. That's a T. A. Kyle. Matt Tajekyle is correct. All Falcons players. What do you mean you are going to do? I wanted a Taj, come on. I wanted to ask you for one that would make it a nice little U. I wanted it to look pretty. Um, that was the entire philosophy behind creating this puzzle right there. And, uh, J said, Simon, that's his nice, that's nice of you to give them the letter U. Yeah. I try to be a little bit nice right there. Yep. happy with the, with the table hire over there. We had a bunch of people in the chat getting this one quickly. I thought this was going to give you guys trouble, but I think jail getting that tea early, really unlocked the puzzle. Albert, Matt, Kyle, Taj, Scott, Matt, Taj, Kyle, JR, Matt, Kyle, Taj, and Mr. Scampers, Taj, Matt, Kyle, all coming in around the same time from those guys all at 543. Sorry, 543 best time, 643 worst time. I'm not sure whether you guys live in best time or worst time over there. I'm not taking that bait. You're not taking that bait. You're not going to play that game with me. Nope. Okay, jail. That's going to add a thousand dollars to your total for the game, bringing you up to $4,300. Jay, well, I wanted to come with you, come to you with a question here about Kyle Pitts. So we saw Kyle Pitts get drafted very high for a rookie tight end this year. The hype was out of the world and a lot of people were left fairly disappointed with his season, even though you look at rookie tight ends, it's one of the best rookie tight end seasons ever. Still, this was a very successful rookie tight end season. How are you viewing Kyle Pitts going into next year? Is it still as one of those top four, top five guys for redrafters? Is he a little bit lower just for 2022? No, absolutely. The fact that he only had one touchdown catch, I know everyone always talks about it, but if he got even four or five touchdown catches, I'm pretty sure he would be up there, I think. I remember correctly. So it really just all was about the touchdowns and there's no chance that they can't feed him around the red zone next year. But Matt Ryan typically finds a way, but I like to not think so. Joey, what about you? Do you agree with Jay Wall and Kyle Pitts' outlook for 2022? Yeah, I love Kyle Pitts next year. I mean, Jay Wall hit the big fact is that he only had one touchdown.  Sorry. Yeah, I love Kyle Pitts next year. Yeah, I'm with you guys. Jail, do you agree with these two about Kyle Pitts? Absolutely. Absolutely. Full agreement on Kyle Pitts right there. OK, guys, are you ready for our next puzzle? Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's load this one up. Puzzle number seven. This is an NFL player band mashup. So this is a band and NFL player mashup in this puzzle. And who saw Jail did? So that means Joey's going first. Joey, are you ready for your question? Yeah, give me a question, please. OK, Joey, who had more PPR fantasy points in the twenty twenty one regular season? Who had more PPR fantasy points? Was it Van Jefferson or was it Terry McLaurin? Terry McLaurin. It was Terry McLaurin there. I couldn't trick you, Joey. Which letter would you like? I love Van Jefferson, too. I want a T. A T for Joey. There is one T in this puzzle, Joey. That's going to put 500. Would you like to buy a vowel? Would you like to solve or would you like another question? I want to buy a vowel. I want an O. An O. There are three O's in this puzzle, Joey. That's going to subtract 300 from your total. What would you like to do now? The question. A question. OK, Joey, my question for you is, who has more all time rushing yards? Who has more all time rushing yards? Is it Frank Gore or is it Lydanie and Tomlinson? Damian Tomlinson. I am sorry. The answer is Frank Gore with 16000 rushing yards. Lydanie and Tomlinson's thirteen thousand six hundred and eighty four. Colonel, he was just in the league for so long, they just kept on racking up. So we are moving on to J-Wall. J-Wall, are you ready for your question or would you like to solve? I'm ready for a question. OK, J-Wall, my question for you is, in a four point per passing touchdown league, who had more PPR fantasy points in the twenty twenty one regular season? Was it Russell Wilson or was it Ryan Tannehill? Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill is correct, J-Wall. What letter would you like? Give me an H. An H. Bonk, there are no H's in this puzzle, J-Wall. So J-Wall, that means we are moving on to you. I need a question. You need a question. OK, my question for you is, who is projected to have more rushing yards? In the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams game, who is projected to have more rushing yards? Is it Debo Samuel or is it Elijah Mitchell? Elijah Mitchell. Elijah Mitchell is correct. But I thought maybe I'd trip you up on that one, but you got it, J-Wall. Which letter would you like? I will take, I guess I will take an N. An N. There is one N in this puzzle, J-Wall. I'm going to add 500 to your total. Would you like to buy a vowel or would you like another question? I would like to buy a vowel. I'll buy an E. An E. There are three E's in this puzzle, J-Wall. I'm going to take you down to $200. Would you like to solve? Would you like to buy another vowel? Or would you like a question? I'll buy a, I got it. Oh, I got it. Fleetwood, Mac Jones. The answer is Fleetwood, Mac Jones, nice job, J-L. And J-R, a couple of minutes ago, about three minutes ago in here with Fleetwood, Mac Jones. There were not many letters on the board at all whenever you threw that one in there. Nice job, J-R. And I think they're the only person in the chat that got it. And Scott has a question. Is PBRQB points a thing? Ask Marcus Mariota. Remember when he caught his own pass for a touchdown? That's true. I bet he got a point there. I really thought I was going to win this by a landslide, but I guess that was just in my dreams. Okay, there we go. Two Fleetwood Mac songs, let's go. Oh, that was incredible. It took me a second to see what you were doing there, but then once you said landslide, I was sitting there waiting to see what you said next. Also, they're correcting me in the chat. I missed it. Scott said J-R got it with no letters. Damn. No letters for J-R. I undersold what Mr. J-R did over there. Nice job. J-R's a legend in the chats. He carries the chat. His back probably hurts really bad. Absolutely, it hurts really bad. Guys, we've got time for at least one more puzzle, unless we pull another like Mike Williams here, at which point we will not have time for another puzzle.  This is a coach quote. So this is a quote from a coach. And Joey, J-R got that one, right? Yep. That means we are going on to Joey for this one. Joey, would you like to solve or would you like a question? I would like a question. Okay, Joey, my question for you is who has more receiving yards in the 2021 regular season? Who had more receiving yards? Was it Michael Pittman, Jr., or was it Tyler Lockett? Oh, this is good. Tyler Lockett. Tyler Lockett is correct by about 100 receiving yards. Really? Nice job. Which letter would you like? I would like a T. A T. There are two T's in this puzzle, Joey. That is going to add $1,000 to your total. Like another question or would you like to buy a vowel? Urban Meyer was correct, though. I want to buy an I. An I for Joey. There are three I's in this puzzle. Going to subtract 300 from your total. Would you like to buy another vowel or would you like a question? Or do you want to solve? I know the second word. Give me another question. Another question for Joey. My question for you, Joey, is in a PPR league who had more fantasy points on the season? Who had more fantasy points on the season? Was it Derek Henry or was it DeAndre Swift? Derek Henry. I'm sorry. It was DeAndre Swift. How much? It was 208.9 to Derek Henry's 193.3. That one was pretty close. I know Henry missed time, but I was wondering. It was close. Henry is still almost. One more game and he probably would have been ahead of him there or at least would have been a lot closer. Jay, well, that means we're moving on to you. Would you like a question here or do you want to solve? Give me a question. Okay, Jay, well, my question for you is according to the FanDuel Sportsbook, who is projected to have more rushing yards during the Kansas City Chief Cincinnati Bengals game? Is it Patrick Mahomes or is it Clyde Edward de Lair? It's a dirty question. It's got to be CEH. It is, but it's close, only nine yards. Patrick Mahomes is projected at 28.5 rushing yards. Clyde Edward de Lair at 37.5. Nice job, Jay. Well, I thought I might get you with the trick. You saw straight through it. Which letter would you like? Can I get an H? An H. There are two H's, Jay. Well, I'm going to add $1,000 to your round bank. Would you like another question or would you like to buy a vowel? Let's do another question. Okay, Jay, well, my question for you is which team had more rushing yards on the season in 2021? Which team had more rushing yards? Was it the Seahawks or was it the Lions? The Lions. I'm sorry, it was the Seahawks. With 2,074 out of the Lions, 1,886 of JL, we are moving on to you. Would you like to solve or would you like a question? I need a question. You need a question. Okay, my question for you is in the Cincinnati Bengals Kansas City Chiefs game, according to the Fan Dual Sportsbook, who is projected to have more receiving yards? Is it Tyree Kill or is it Jamar Chase? Receiving yards, Tyree Kill. I'm sorry, it is Jamar Chase. With 85.5 is the projection. Tyree Kill said it's 76.5, according to the Fan Dual Sportsbook, almost 10 yards separating them right there. Joey, would you like a question or would you like to solve? Or you can buy a vowel. Give me an E. One, two, three, four, five. That's gonna bring you all the way down to $200, Joey. Would you like a question or would you like to solve? Question, question. Okay, according to the Fan Dual Sportsbook, who is projected to have more receiving yards in the Cincinnati Bengals Kansas City Chiefs game? We're gonna stay on this game for a second. Is it CJ Uzama or is it Joe Mixon? Joe Mixon. It is CJ Uzama. I'm so sorry. It's CJ Uzama. I'm so sorry, Joey. Uzama is projected to have more receiving yards. I think I agree with you, Joey. I like the Joe Mixon line there. J-Wall, are you ready for your question? Or would you like to solve or buy a vowel? Give me a question. Question for J-Wall. Okay, J-Wall, my question for you is during the 2021 regular season, who had more PPR fantasy points? Who had more PPR fantasy points? Was it Darnell Mooney or was it Tyler Boyd? Mooney. Mooney is correct, J-Wall. Which letter would you like? Give me a B. B as in brother. Brother, okay. Just making sure I have the right letter. There is one B in this puzzle, J-Wall. I'm gonna add 500 to your total. Would you like another question? Would you like to buy a vowel or would you like to solve? Let's do another question. Another question. Okay, my question for you, J-Wall, is who has more passing yards in the 2021 post-season? Who has more passing yards in the 2021 post-season? Is it Josh Allen or is it Matthew Stafford? Matthew Stafford. I'm sorry, it is Josh Allen. That big game against the Chiefs for the Red Stafford, that's some good games. I'm getting in your head, J-Wall. We're gonna move on to J-L now though. J-L, would you like a question? Yeah, you need a question. Okay, J-Wall, my question for you is who has more receiving yards so far in the post-season? Who has more receiving yards in the post-season? Is it Mike Evans or is it A.J. Brown? Mike Evans or A.J. Brown? A.J. Brown did have that big game. You would do it. Oh, are you tricking me or not, Simon? I'll go Mike Evans. Mike Evans is correct. He's got an extra game played that pushes him ahead, but A.J. Brown had 142 receiving yards in the one game that he played. And I thought maybe that big performance might have been enough to get you to pick him anyways. I almost did. If it wasn't you conducting the game, then I probably would have. I'll take an R. What letter would you like? An R? Yeah. There are four R's in this puzzle, J. I'm gonna add 2,000 to your total. Are you solving? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it's Grim, be the Grim Reaper. That's the song that plays in my ears whenever you get it right. Nice job, Dale. This is what Andy Reid said that his words to Patrick Mahomes were right after Josh Allen scored. They asked him, it was looking grim. What did you say to him? And Andy Reid was one of the most bad-ass quote, coach quotes of all time saying when it's Grim, be the Grim Reaper. And Patrick Mahomes did. Seven minutes ago. There was no letters on the board. This was a zero letters on the board. Scott came in with this poll right here. And guys, you know what that means? For the first time ever in fantasy fortune history, we have a tie game at the end of the show. I think JL won, because doesn't he get points for solving? Nope, he had, it's a minimum of 1,000, but then you get your bank above that. Can we do a speed round? We could do a speed round real quick. We could do a speed round, or do you guys just want to call it a tie? Doesn't matter to me. I have one more puzzle, and you know what, it is a quick one. I mean, is it a quick one? It is a quick one. It is a quick one. Give Joey the advantage because he gets to go first. It's an NFL player, Joey, you get to go first. I will let you go first, Jail. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want no special treatment. Joey, would you like a question? Question, yeah. Okay, my question for you is who had more PPR fantasy points during the 2021 NFL season? Was it branding cooks? Or was it T Higgins? T Higgins. Was branding cooks, I'm so sorry. J-Wall, oh wait, is J-Wall, would you like a question? You can just do it with me, J-Wall. Okay, J-Wall. Because if I win, then we have to keep going. Then we'll see, I have a name that fits. Okay, J-Wall, would you like a question or do you want to go for it? I'm just going to go for it, Cole Beasley. I'm sorry, it is not Cole Beasley, J-Wall, which means we are going to move on to Joey. Joey, would you like another question or would you like to do with J-Wall and say the wrong name? I would like to just play this game the way it is. You're playing, I'm not playing? No, you're playing, you're playing great, buddy. Joey, my question for you is who has more rushing yards in the NFL post season so far, who has more rushing yards? Is it Cam Akers or is it Patrick Mahomes? Yeah, Patrick Mahomes. Actually, I'm going to retract that question. They're separated by five yards. As soon as I said that I thought it was 50 but I was looking at the wrong number, I'm not going to do that to you, Joey. I read the numbers wrong on that one. So we're going to give you a new question. I tried to stop you before you said anything. You guys heard me. Okay, which player had more PPR fantasy points during the 2021 season, Joey? Which player had more PPR fantasy points? Was it Miles Gaskin or was it Sonya Michelle? Was every other week as much as Sonya Michelle? I'm going to go Miles Gaskin. Miles Gaskin is correct with 173 to Sonya Michelle's 146. What letter would you like, Joey? I would like a T. A T for Joey and Bonk. I'm sorry, Jail. Oh my God. You ready, Jail? Yeah, I need a question. Who had more PPR fantasy points in the 2021 regular season? Who had more PPR fantasy points? Was it Kyle Pitts or was it Hunter Henry? Hunter Henry. I'm sorry, it was Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts outscored Hunter Henry. Hunter Henry made all his money on touchdowns so far this season, but Kyle Pitts had that yardage, I think, on him. Joey, are you ready for your question? Yeah, question, please. Okay, Joey, my question for you is in the 2021 regular season, who had more receiving yards? Who had more receiving yards? Was it Hunter Renfrow or was it Devonta Smith? Hunter Renfrow. Hunter Renfrow is correct by a little more than 100 yards. Which letter would you like, Joey? S. There is one S in this puzzle that is gonna put 500 on your round bank. Jail, any predictions on who's gonna pull this one out? Oh, he's muted, so that's a secret prediction. Joey, would you like another question? I would like to buy an O. An O for Joey. There are two O's in this puzzle that's gonna bring you down to 300. Would you like to solve? Would you like to buy another vowel? Or would you like another question? I'd like another question. Okay, Joey, my question for you is who had more rushing yards during the 2021 regular season? Who had more rushing yards? Was it Jalen Hertz or was it Damien Harris? Damien Harris. Damien Harris is correct. Jalen Hertz led all quarterbacks with rushing yards but Damien Harris had him beat out. Which letter would you like? An R. Bonk, there are no R's in this name. Jail, can you solve or would you like a question? I cannot solve, I need a question. Okay, my question for you, Jail, is who had more PPR fantasy points during the 2021 regular season? Was it Josh Jacobs or was it David Montgomery? Jacobs. Jacobs is the correct answer, Jail. Which letter would you like? I'll take an N. There are two N's in this puzzle, Jail. Gonna add $1,000 to your round. I would like to solve. Okay, and what is it? Niko Collins. Niko Collins for the win from Jail. Sorry, Joey, you were a formidable opponent. We are both winners today. We are. You guys both did win. And J-Wall, you know what? You started out slow, but you solved a couple of puzzles in there, got on the board and did not end in a humiliating fashion. Nice job, J-Wall as well. You did not pull assignments. You did not pull assignment. That's 100%, right? Maria said, Gino Sosmiths. Yeah, that's actually the next puzzle. Yeah, there you go. We do hang out way too much. I know, we've made the same joke like three times on this show right here. And J-R, man, J-R, you absolutely murdered these puzzles in the chat. I know, for fantasy fortune specifically, because he gets in there and kills. Ample perception is good at it. Yeah, what's he knocking out in the chat? And GKP and you're saying W to J-R. And William saying, nice game. Thanks for tuning in, William. Glad you guys enjoyed it. Guys, that is gonna be about us for this evening. Thank you, everyone who tuned in.

e are fighting not just to restore our security now but we're fighting in order to secure our security for the generations to come and this war unfortunately fetches a very heavy toll and price last week we lost a commander in the nachal who volunteered to fight in gaza he survived the attack in jerusalem 16 years ago an attack where eight of his friends were killed he left his wife and his baby daughter ori the little daughter didn't even know her father his volunteerism his courage his zionism avivshan roi elisa roi's father said about him that god almighty might he takes the best ones to them but he doesn't they give themselves the sacrifice of roi and our combatants who fell in battle is the painful testimony to the high price that all of us as a state and as a nation pay in order to live in our country and bring back the hostages i embrace my brothers and sisters the family of bereaved our dear ones the heroes they paid the highest price of all they felt to defend the country i embrace the families of the hostages that my wife and i keep meeting all the time these are personal meetings heart wrenching we embrace them we listen to them we look at the pictures of their loved ones the pictures of our loved ones and i made a very definite promise to them and i repeated tonight i do not give up on any one of them we are committed to bring back all of them home i embrace the wounded who show incredible courage vis-a-vis the injuries and i say to all of you all our soldiers each and every one of their combatants the soldiers and the commanders they are real heroes heroes who sacrifice themselves in order to restore security to the country and bring back the inhabitants to their homes and that's what's going to be as it says in this week's portion and they sat on their land as i gave to my servant jacob and they sat on them with safety they built houses and planted orchards we're going to fight together and with the health of god together we shall prevail questions channel 12 mr prime minister first question what about the inhabitants of gaza are they going to get back to their homes before the israeli ones are you going to condition their return in returning their hostages and what about the declarations of the people in deli code and coalition who cause international damage why don't you call them to order there's an international law and that law says something simple you take out a population to get them out of harm's way and you don't bring them back as long as the risk is there and the risk is there there's a real fighting in the north of the strip and i said it to the secretary blink and we're not going to bring back inhabitants to a place of risk as to the declarations why did you just mention the liqud and the coalition very interesting you know these declarations are very harsh and of course such an event like in the 9 11 did you hear what the american said you have to read it in order to compare there's no comparison but that's along the and across the political issue not significant and the reason is that what determines is the policy of the government as it determined in the government and in the cabinet and this policy reflects our intentions we act according to the international law the idf is making efforts to avoid harming any a population or uninvolved people or innocence that's our policy anything else is really an attempt just to accuse israel and with baseless accusations good meaning is there a policy or decision of yours regarding the philadelphia axis are you planning to control it or to dominate it and then second question the team that the chief of staff appointed is this something that you knew about and is it according to your wish the philadelphia axis is one possibility of what i call a southern bloc of course we're not going to finish the war without shutting this area because the hamas well we will dem the militarized gaza and then more weapons are going to go through the philadelphia and all sorts of lethal weapons of course we have to shut this area and there are a few possibilities how to do it we're looking into it but we still haven't made a decision except for the one it has to be closed second regarding the appointed team i respect the chief of staff and i think that they were decision or they need to do an operational inquiry within the idea of course it has to happen but as for next


So, hello everyone. Yeah, how are you all doing? I know it's a pretty long day. I think we can get started just in time. So, I'm Dilesh Varanupoju. I'm a senior platform engineer here at Comcast. I have total 15 years of work experience, first five heavily into design patterns, Java, Spring Frameworks, and then later on moved to cloud-based technologies. And also, I'm proud to be part of an amazing platform architecture and engineering team.  Engineers managing multiple platforms based on cloud foundry, Kubernetes to support wide variety of workloads and also abstracting multiple clouds under the hood, ranging all the way from private to public. And we also have a thriving developer community of about 1,500 Slack users and also have about 40,000 AIs that are currently running in production across all our CF sites. So that's all about me and my team. Just to get a little bit about you folks, how many of you are using any kind of serverless platform or planning to use any kind of serverless platform? All right, that's handful, very little. I'm not surprised. Let me ask another question. How many of you are using any kind of past platforms such as cloud foundry? Yeah, pretty much everyone does. But the question looks different, but I ask the same question in a different way. Hold on to that thought. I'll get back to that in a minute. So the question is, it almost sounds like yesterday, we all started with PaaS just trying to wrap the head around and then CAS and then CFCR. There are a lot of things going on. While all this is going on, we hear a lot of buzz around functions, serverless, fast platforms. What's going on? Is this another new shiny thing? Unfortunately, serverless PaaS suffers from another new shiny thing curse, while it's not really true. If you look at the timeline, PaaS, our serverless platform, was introduced back in 2014 by the team who are behind OAuth0. They kind of started WebTask and also hook.io. They are the first serverless function as a service platform. They kind of support Node and JavaScript functions few years later. In 2016, there was sudden explosion of serverless, fast platforms, both in open source as well as hosted solutions by all the major players. Since then, it's growing silently and organically, just like how PaaS did in 2011. It became silent, soaked for a couple of years, and then thought leaders and early adopters like Comcast kind of took it from there. You know the rest is history. So, well, all that sounds good, but what exactly is this serverless or PaaS mean? There's a lot of confusion around it. Well, in general terms, serverless sounds very synonymous with PaaS, function as a service and vice versa, but to be precise, PaaS is a subset of serverless. Serverless covers the underlaw of many other things, but PaaS is just a subsystem of that. We also, PaaS simply means that the end users of the platform, that is the developers, no longer have to think or manage about servers. In other words, if you're a platform operator or a service provider of serverless PaaS, you would be thinking about servers and managing it all the time. Well, that sounds like PaaS, isn't it? How is it different from PaaS? So, you could consider PaaS as the first iteration of serverless and PaaS as first iteration of serverless and PaaS could be serverless 2.0. These are some of the quotes that are taken back in 2016 by Dr. Zules, who kind of says either serverless is different than PaaS than you or I have misunderstood the terms. So, we can safely say that PaaS is serverless 1.0, where developers have to still think about how many AIs they need or what kind of Docker image that they need to push onto the platform. In PaaS, where it's serverless 2.0, they don't have to even think about it in terms of how much capacity they need in advance. That's kind of going a little bit advanced, that's all. Just another iteration. Well, all that sounds good, but why would anyone go through the trouble of managing platform and building the software in a new way when there's an already existing way that works fine? Well, the primary reason, the driver and the motivation is all about cost, right? Cost optimization, utilization, efficiency, and agility. The same reason why we kind of started with PaaS. Let's take a look at the scenario that would make it things more clear. So, this is the snapshot taken from one of our production environment, and this is one of our largest site. The first one is the traffic volume that flows, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., cycles through every day, and the one below is the total number of application instances, AIs running on the platform. Just to put things in perspective, there are about 4,000 AIs. That is roughly about 400 microservices with 10 AIs each. This is just an approximation, though, just to keep math easier. Not all the apps have the same number of AIs, some has more, some has less, but what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this scenario like this? With the corresponding DIPN traffic, did you notice any corresponding drop in number of AIs? No, so that means that that's clearly an opportunity for resource optimization. So, we are talking about not 10 or 100 instances, we are talking about 4,000 AIs. So, that's roughly about 12 hours of time, right? 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. That sounds a lot, and what do we do with that? So, definitely, it's a no-brainer. We could use an autoscaler that kind of detects the change in traffic pattern and ramps down the number of AIs. So, it could go down anywhere, more than half of them, about 2,000 AIs can be recycled and that kind of releases a lot of resources. So, autoscaler sounds like the answer, but the devil is in the details. What happens next day? 9 a.m. in the morning, the traffic kicks in, the autoscaler detects the change in pattern and it tries to bring one A, one AI or application instance per service. So, you're looking about 400 AIs that are trying to start simultaneously on the platform. And this can cause an event storm. We have seen that several times. And this event storm affects the response times of some of the apps that are on the critical path, which are kind of called by the downstream apps and customer-facing apps. And there are also other apps that are on the platform that are dependent on these apps, right? Overall, this is kind of a havoc, Kyos, in terms of increasing the response time. I don't think this is a great situation to be in, especially during business hours. But, well, wait a minute. Adding an autoscaler would cause such issues. That sounds odd, isn't it? Well, let's pretend for now that the autoscaler has no known bugs at this point. And it works well when it comes to scale. Just pretend. So, what else is kind of left on the plate, right? Probably let's take a look at the apps, what's going on under the hood. So, some of the behavior challenges that we observe are with CF push, right? This is not, again, a generalization. Some of the apps, again, not intentional. That slip through the cracks and make it to production. And the pushes take longer than three minutes, which is the default limits set by the platform. And somehow the apps get pushed successfully by increasing the timeouts. And then the apps that are running on the platform takes longer than a second to pass the health check. So, they continuously crash and the platform is trying to bring them up. So, and then there are some apps which they think they don't want to go through this ramping down, ramping up cycle. So, they kind of set the threshold way high, like 30, 50 instances in order to take the production load. And some apps go the other extreme. They just go to one or two instances in production. So, we have seen all kinds of behavioral challenges with respect to the apps, though it's not intentional. So, the other part I just mentioned is Autoscaler has some bugs and we noticed it and we kind of reported it. It's kind of being worked upon with the respective teams. So, in a nutshell, Autoscaler is definitely a great place to start. I would definitely recommend we should use it, but it's not the end of all the problems. That's the point I'm trying to make. Well, so now that the thing that is in our control is the app, so let's start looking at apps, what we can do in order to address some of the challenges that we just discussed a minute ago. So, we are all already familiar, right? It almost sounds like it started yesterday. Hey, let's start breaking down the monoliths and into microservices. Now we are saying, hey, let's go break down these microservices into something even smaller. We call them functions, some refer to them as event-driven microservices. You can use them interchangeably. So, basically what we are trying to do is we are trying to break down these apps into much more smaller pieces so that we don't run into issues of, you know, CI pushes taking longer, health checks taking longer, and also the scaling on the Autoscaler becomes a lot easier, especially when the app starts within milliseconds, within few milliseconds. So, one of the requirements for FAS platform is that the function should start within 20 milliseconds in all the established FAS platforms that we see. So, this kind of helps mitigate the issue that we have seen before. And also, the beauty is these microservices and functions or event-driven microservices can coexist together, and also you can chain them together just like how we are used to doing the unix kind of piping or chaining. So, there are very important applications that we can leverage. So, let's look at some of the serverless FAS benefits, right? Obviously, less is more is what we are talking about. We are going through breaking down these microservices or manageable services into much more smaller pieces. The whole idea of breaking down is the idea so that we can develop and deploy and scale them independently and much faster way. That's the whole idea. And also, it's easy to focus on working on one function rather than working on a monolith or a service. The other example, this is not perfect. Let's take a Rustful API. Let's say accounts, right? Slash accounts. A Rustful API typically contains five functions or methods, get all with filters, get by ID, create an account, which is slash post, update an account, slash put, and delete an account. And if you observe, at least from my experience, for the most part, 50 to 60 percent of the time, our posts are called heaviest. And posts are kind of in the middle. The delete is at the rock bottom. It's called less than five percent time. But still, we are packaging all these functions together and then deploying it. When it comes to scale, we are scaling all of them together when only gets are used heavily, right? So what if we deploy more instances of gets and five instances of delete that would kind of optimize the resources? That's one example. But what I'm getting there is I know it's not a perfect example. There are some arguments against it. How do you manage the database connections and everything like that? But that's just an example to start with. The most important reason is the cost and efficiency, right? We just talked about 200 AIs that are running on the platform, whether there is a traffic or not, right? That reduce of waste would translate into a lot of cost savings, which is the new currency, and it could save CAPEX and OPEX for a big time for any enterprise. The other important thing is the way the pricing is done, right? In past world, the pricing is done based on the number of AIs that are running. But in the fast world, you're essentially paying for the actual execution time, right? Even with the autoscaler, so what do you say your AI count? Is it 4,000 or 2,000? Because during the day, you'll be running 4,000, and during offers, let's say you'll be running half of the capacity. So that's kind of the calculation becomes tricky, but when it comes to fast, the pricing model is pretty clear. You're just paying for the execution time. But does it really translate to... Does it make really a huge difference? So I just went ahead and tried one of the AWS calculator, right? I just tried an AWS Lambda function, and then I used to instance that is running on AWS API Gateway. For the same number of calls that were made or a period of month, can you see the cost difference? A dollar to 8,000, isn't it massive? It almost sounds like, hey, it might be... It's not a big deal at the beginning, but look at the cost differences, right? It is a massive cost difference. So I think this is the most important factor that's driving towards going towards serverless fast, which is not something new, which we are already kind of doing it. It's just that we are a step behind. Well, like any... Like every other approach has pros and cons. Serverless is not the perfect solution. You cannot... Just because you can do even a RESTful API into your function, you should do it, right? Just because you can do doesn't mean you should do it. So there are always certain type of applications, workloads that can go run on the serverless platform. Some of the existing challenges, at least for now, is the complexity. Again, this is not something new for the fast platform. This is also an existing challenge for the fast platform as well. When you break down a monolith into microservices or functions or even driven microservices, how do you orchestrate them together? How do they talk to each other? It's always a challenge. But luckily, there are few open-source projects that are currently in progress. This is an evolving space. Istio and Envoy, you might have seen those talks trying to solve some of these problems of service discovery and sidecars. And the second one is the cold start. This is an interesting problem, right? When the fast platform decides that there are no requests coming to your container, it's going to tear it down. And whenever the new request comes, it's going to spin up a new container. What if there's a lag of a couple of minutes, right? So that translates to the latency involved bringing up the container again to serve the request. So this is one of the problems when fast was just beginning to start. But now I don't think this is a huge problem. There are different ways to keep the functions warm. One is manually, you can send requests, but I don't think that's the best way to do it. But now all the newer platforms allowing you to configure the interval, how long you can keep the function warm before tearing it down. I think there are ways to work with even cold starts. The biggest challenge is the tooling. As I mentioned, this is still an evolving space. How do we debug these functions? Because these are short lived and how do we monitor them? Audits, logs, integration testing. These are all kind of elusive at the moment. These are definitely need some maturity and tooling around it. So these are some of the main challenges when it comes to serverless. So is serverless being used anywhere or is it just in theory? No. There are already some use cases that are already in place. A lot of companies are using it. At least for the line of business we are using it. Conquest is in cable, networking, media, entertainment, and also home security, home automation. So some of the use cases that are relevant in terms of Conquest line of business, in terms of IoT integration is we analyze a lot of media and image analysis so that we can provide recommendations. And also with respect to customer service we need a lot of virtual assistant chatbots and serverless mobile backends and also some sort of machine learning workloads. These are some of the use cases that are relevant. Because when we talk about FAS for the most part everybody says, oh, I can use this for batch processing, scheduling tasks and jobs. But that's not exactly true. You can do it in multiple ways like with the IoT integration. The other space that our potential use case is the homes automation and security. All this is smart devices, plugs and bulbs and smart sensors. So we collect all the device telemetry data and then analyze it real time and also building smart homes. And you might have seen the Conquest Technology Center. It's one of its kind. Definitely this technology enables smart buildings. So by now a quick summary is that we started with the existing platform, some of the challenges that we are facing, what is next, how we can address these challenges. And then FAS seems to be a good fit for some of the workloads that I just talked about. So by now you might be thinking, serverless, right? Why not? Let's give it a shot. So there is no shortage of options, as I mentioned. In fact, this is overwhelming to go through the vetting process to find out the one that best fits your ecosystem. There are so many options, both hosted, as well as open source platforms. For the scope of this talk, because it's an open source conference, I would like to limit this for all kinds of open source platforms. So the vetting process or the key selection criteria that I went through is nothing new. The first thing that I looked is the trending. How many GitHub commits are there? How active the commits were made? How many contributors were there? And how many GitHub stars were there? And also I looked at the number of posts in Stack Overflow to see how the community is helping each other and it's growing. The next thing I looked at is the tools, because right now things like Docker is synonymous with containers, Kubernetes is synonymous with container orchestrator, Kafka is synonymous with messaging, though they can help much more use cases. I just want to make sure the platform uses a set of standard tools so that it's easy to learn, as these are pretty standard. The other thing is, while building, managing the platform, is it easy to get started with the existing documentation? So I looked at the existing online documentation. Is it just clear enough to get started? And while managing the platform or while running the workloads, just in case if I have questions, is there at least a Slack or an email support? It's another thing I looked at. And the other thing is, what is this platform written in? Which language is it in Golang or Scala, or what are the other languages that they used? Last but not the least, for all this open source project, who are the companies that are kind of backing up or supporting them that have successful track records? So this is like the bare minimum criteria, but you can add more, but this is how I started. Here are the numbers. Pretty much all my studies around this. This sounds like a table, but this is a lot of work. As you can see, OpenWisk has the highest number of GitHub contributors, and most of the contributors are from IBM. In fact, OpenWisk is the core of the IBM Cloud Functions. At least OpenWisk is supported by Apache. It's open source. The other thing you would notice is pretty much all of this open source platform started somewhere in 2016. And pretty much all of them written in Go, except for the OpenWisk, which is written in Scala. Pretty much all of the platform uses hardware and Kubernetes for packaging and deploying functions. And pretty much you can use Helm Chats to install any of them, except for Fission and Ion Functions. Most of the serverless platforms support serverless, are supported by serverless framework. Serverless frameworks is really a fantastic thing because you wrote your Cloud Functions in AWS Lambda. Now you want to run it on Azure and IBM are even an open source platforms like OpenFast. So serverless framework, as the name indicates, is a framework. It's not a platform that allows you to write once, but you can deploy it to any other fast platform. And as you can see, even by the number of Git commits made by the individual contributors are kind of more for OpenWisk. And some of the things around the technology is pretty much all of them are using Prometheus for collecting the metrics. I mean, it looks like pretty standard tool stack, pretty much all of them. But the other thing that you notice is the Knative, which is started somewhere last year, which sounds like a newbie, but it has catch up really fast. And then now it's compatible with its contemporaries. The reason is if you look at who are backing this project or sponsored by is Apache, Google, Peutel, IBM, and Red Hat. Pretty much all the companies, organizations that have successful track records are kind of backing this project. And it's kind of freely in full swing. But again, it's still an evolving space though. So OpenFast is also pretty good and it's comparable. It's backed by VMware. The CLI is pretty easy to use and intuitive. And OpenFast has a concept of API gateway. You can use the CLI to connect synchronously or asynchronously. Pretty much all of them are using NAT's messaging bus for asynchronous communication. OpenWisk, I think they have put a lot of focus in terms of scalability and resiliency. But the only thing is it requires developers or operators to have working knowledge of ZooKeeper, CouchDB, and Prometheus and things like that. And for the most part, I see some duplicate overlap of functionality when using CouchBase or ZooKeeper when they're already using Kubernetes. I think the other interesting thing I found was Cubeless. Cubeless is purely built on Kubernetes. It does not require any custom CLI. You can just use CubeCTL to deploy your functions. And they use custom resource definitions, CRDs. That's one pretty cool thing I find out, which is also the approach taken by Knative. Knative uses CRDs, custom resource definitions, and uses Istio and OnWi for service mesh and discovery. So overall, this is the summary. Luckily, there's nothing red here. Pretty much all yellow greens. The most influential factor here is the ecosystem. Because if you're already a part of the ecosystem, such as if you're already working on open-source CloudFoundry, it will be a lot easier to leverage the tools on it. Similarly, if you're already working on AWS tools, it will be a lot easier to use AWS Lambda. So ecosystem definitely plays a critical role in kind of coming up with what exactly you wanted to go with. That also helps with the learning curve. And when it comes to the type of languages that these platforms support, pretty much all of them are using Docker. That means you can pretty much package any kind of function that you write in any language into your Docker container and push it. So I think in terms of the language support, I think it's okay. When it comes to reliability is what I just talked about. Who is the docs clear enough? Is there any support with respect to Slack? Are these backed by any organizations that have successful track records and things like that? And the GitHub activity that's happening is an active community. So I think that kind of helps me to determine on the reliability factor. So this is not kind of a recommendation, but these are kind of observations. You can start from here when you're trying to choose your past platform. So the other thing I tried was checking the Google Trends. I just tried Google Trends and trying to compare with each of the existing open-source platforms. And this is what I find it. And as I mentioned, Knative is kind of catching up really fast and it's kind of on the top of the charts pretty much consistently all through when compared to all other piece and contemporaries. That's pretty interesting. So with all this study, I would like to present a demo. I chose Knative for the demo, but the demo takes at least couple of hours. So I kind of recorded it and squeezed it into like 10 minutes. So let's walk through the demo. So on a local cube, so I chose MiniCube to try this Knative offering to see how simple it is from end-to-end installation, updates, and then deploying the workloads and testing them, what kind of use cases it supports. So let's run through this. So at the moment I'm installing a MiniCube and then just checking all the versions. CubeCuttle status, then MiniCube is up and running. All the nodes up and running. The cluster status. And I'm using KL for Kubernetes tail. You can use Kubernetes logs as well. So this is the most important process of going through the Knative install, right? Knative uses custom resource definitions to install Knative. You could use direct download those YAML files and install it, or there is something cool called RIF, the project RIF by Pivotal. You can use that to go through just RIF system install. We'll do the job for you. The other thing I tried was, because I'm doing it in my local, I use the node port as the load balancer. So this is one way to get the Knative ingress when you're using a node port type. So when you install Knative, the successful installation indicates that you have build serving and eventing module namespaces installed. So that kind of tells you the installation is successful. So Knative uses these concepts called serving, build, and eventing. These are kind of really cool. Serving is actually, you can even use your stateless microservices in addition to functions. And eventing is eventing. You can use functions to generate events. And build is another cool thing. They have started supporting build packs that are already kind of on the Cloud Foundry. And also, you can use your Docker files to build images. You don't have to do anything. Kubernetes detects it using build templates called Canico. And then builds the Docker image, and then pushes it to the Docker repo, that internal Docker repo or public Docker repo, whatever that you configured during the installation. So this is just me trying the blue-green deployment in comparison to Cloud Foundry, how I can do this. So the same thing. I'm going to create a namespace. So I'm watching the Kubernetes parts. At this point, I'm building a simple Docker image that kind of takes a HTTP request and sends a response back. And I'm pushing it to Docker repo. So here's the important thing. All this code is on GitHub. It's going to be open so shortly. And this will be available so you can try it later. So all I did was, if you see that, that's all the installation is all about. All I did was apply config.yaml. It's the bare minimum that is required to deploy any microservice. As you can see, all the parts are up and running, and the deployment is complete. The parts are coming up three by three. And if you notice, there is something called revisions and configuration and routes. If you can see, the route has a URL that you can use to curl. So that's what I'm trying to do. Right now, I deployed the version one. The code is on GitHub. And my Docker image is pushed to Docker. I didn't do anything, right? So it's all the magic. So as you can see, now I completely moved to the version two. If you notice, I'm running this in a loop. This is what I meant by cold start. So usually these functions, when you don't invoke it and if you keep it ideal for a minute, the platform will tear it down. So you cannot really make a request. When you make a fresh request, it's going to take a little while until the container comes up. So for the sake of demo, I just need to keep these functions warm. So I'm just running in the loop. So you look at that. You can still deploy your stateless microservice. You can still do your blue-green deployment. And not only that, we also tried the weighted routing where I'm splitting the traffic 100% between version one and version two. I really find that really cool without doing much work. It is pretty much like CF, the latest CF demo that we have seen yesterday. So the next thing I want to talk about, how all this magic is happening, right? So what are the build packs and the templates that Knative supports? Knative uses Keniko build templates for now to build the Docker images. And it uses any of the existing Cloud Foundry build packs to deploy any other. You just push the code. Knative determines based on the code, whether it's Java or Node, and it looks for the Cloud Foundry build packs and uses that build pack to build it. So that's another thing really cool. I find it. So I'm watching for the pods. As you notice, there's just a Docker file. That's all I provide. So that is the custom resource definition that I have to apply one time. That's called keniko.yaml. So the most important thing that you would notice here, I'm creating secrets and service accounts so that I can connect to the Docker repo. I'm leveraging the existing Kubernetes secrets and service accounts. And then I get the Knative ingress the same way because I'm using Node port. So the code is in GitHub. And as you can see, the image is pushed. And now I can curl it using host headers and you can see the build pack is created. Now I'm using CF build pack instead of using keniko. As you can see, there's no Docker file here. This is, I think, a Node app. Yeah. This is a Node.js. Now let's see if it builds it or not. The same thing. I'm going to create secrets and service accounts, create a different namespace, set the Knative ingress. There you go. You can see the parts coming up. Yeah. So now the entire application is built using Node.js build pack. So the latest build pack is pushed to Docker repo and the code is here. So basically, all it's trying to do is it's pulling the source code from GitHub repo and it's checking whether it's a Node.js or Java app and pulling the entire source code and building the Docker image and deploying it. So this is using RIF. This is the most powerful use case that I tried. What I tried was I created a process, a function that kind of takes some messages from a queue and then encodes it and then puts it in another queue called encoded messages and there's another process or a function that kind of decodes this message and then displays it. This is a powerful abstraction of the use case that we can leverage using Knative. As you can see, I pushed a Java code so I'm able to encode the message that I'm sending. See, as you can see, RIF is... It's detecting the Cloud Phone build pack and it's building it. You already see the parts for message encoder. Now the decoder is coming up. Also, the interesting thing that you notice is the message channels. As you can see, plain messages and encoded messages. Those are the queues or channels. All right, so I'm creating a channel. I'm creating a subscription. As you can see, all those parts are available. So you have a messaging channel. You have a subscriber. You have functions that you can attach to. So this is the thing that I was talking about, ColdStat, especially to keep them warm. All the code is on GitHub. This is Spring Boot app, a decoder and encoder. All the doc images were pushed automatically using the Secrets in Service account. Now, for the sake of time, all I did was I was connecting to one of the parts within that cluster and I'm posting the messages on the queue that is on plain messages. As you can see, the encoder and decoder, the encoder is reading it, encoding it, putting it back on the encoded messages and the decoder is reading it and putting it back into the plain message. That's it. So thanks for attending and thanks for watching the demo. Thank you.

As President and CEO of Horace Mann, a company founded by educators for educators, I'm proud to honor the five recipients of the Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence. With three sisters, three nieces and now potentially my daughter being teachers, I know some of the challenges they face in the classroom and I hear about the rewards that make it all worth it. Teaching is more than a job. It's a higher calling and a critical role in our society. Teachers mold our future and for these five finalists and many other teachers, the job isn't confined to the classroom. Teachers pick their students up when they're down, give gentle guidance in the right direction, help them find their strength and overcome their weaknesses. They build teaching teams and inspire some of their own students to hear the call to the profession. And it is a noble profession that is frequently underappreciated. At Horace Mann, our mission is protecting the short-term risks and securing the long-term financial future of educators. And we make recognizing teachers a part of what we do. For more than a decade, Horace Mann has sponsored the NEA Foundation Awards for Teaching Excellence because we know how important and deserving it is to shine a light on outstanding teachers who make a difference in their students' lives and who continue to elevate the role. So please join me in congratulating and honoring five individuals who have been singled out by their peers for going above and beyond and becoming this year's Horace Mann Award recipients. Mohsen was born in Iran. His parents, both of them, have a cumulative education experience of five years, yet they were able to raise six children who ended up becoming professionals. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I will tell you a story about a far-off land, a magical land near the Great Salt Lake with the hero named Mr. Gafari. Why did you want to be a teacher? Because my mom taught me to be the best teacher in the whole world. Mr. Gafari is the fifth-grade teacher at North Star Elementary School. His classroom is full of knowledge. Do you know Mr. Gafari? I do know Mr. Gafari. I've worked with Mr. Gafari for eight years. Do you know what kind of teacher he is? I do. He is probably my favorite kind of teacher because he does what he knows is good for students. He just uses what is brain-researched. He's my favorite kind of teacher. And he makes learning fun. So you never forget what you're learning. What are some things that you did in the classroom that were right? He gets you guys to think. He gets you guys to write about what you think and then he uses what you write to help him understand what else he needs to teach you. The answer is seven. What do you think is a quirk and handle working with all the kids in our class without any help? I think some of that has to do with his understanding and knowing about diversity. And a lot of that is that he pairs up with kids. So he has students in his classroom helping other students and that's one way that he gets some additional help for other kids in the class. He's continuously looking at his practice when he pursued national board certification. That was not at the beginning of his career actually, that was mid-stream. He continues to pursue different opportunities to become a better teacher and that's what good teachers do. And that's what Mosin does. Every opportunity possible he is finding ways to improve instruction to make a difference for his students both inside the classroom and outside the classroom as well. This has been Masterpiece Classroom.


The pandemic has shown us the importance of the digital transition. From health services to education and sales, all sectors have been transformed over the past months. While EU policies seek to enable the digital transition, various challenges still exist across villages, cities and regions. Access to affordable and high quality broadband networks and services, particularly in remote and rural areas, is still work in progress. At the same time, the almost 24.5 million European small and medium-sized enterprises, employing two out of every three workers in the EU, are still lagging behind in terms of digital transition. Cities and regions are committed to do their part to support the switch to modern, functional, digital and green infrastructure in their communities. Regional and local leaders are at work to facilitate partnerships between the public, private, educational and non-profit sectors to implement programmes focusing on advanced digital skills and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and high-performance computing. European policies and programmes need to reflect challenges on the ground by engaging local and regional authorities. The level of governance closest to the people and the level responsible for implementing 70% of EU legislation to address such challenges, facilitate the digital transition and open new horizons. Today's EPP Local Dialogue is an opportunity to discuss the status of the digital transition and the role digitalisation can play to ensure economic recovery through resilience, cities and regions.
