Live from Midtown Manhattan. The Cube's live coverage of Big Data NYC. A silicon-angled Wikibon production. Made possible by Hortonworks. We do Hadoop. And when does this go? Hadoop made invincible. And now your co-hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, we're back here live in New York City. This is the Cube, our flagship program. We go out to the events, extract the signal from the noise. We're actually creating an event called Big Data NYC, which is sitting right outside of Hadoop World and Stratoconference, Big Data Week here in New York City. I'm John Furrier with my co-host Dave Vellante. We're joined with Quinton Clark, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft. Welcome to the Cube. Thank you. Yesterday, you guys were really leading the news on the trending alerts on our CrowdSpots program. We monitor all the chatter, and the conversation, and the thought, and the relationship with HD Insight got a lot of buzz. Yesterday really led the news cycle, even in today's keynote. That's great to hear. So congratulations on that. Good call by getting that out early. You get the pre-show buzz. And then I'll see today, the big conversation is the data platforms, right? So talk about what you guys are doing here real quick, and then we'll jump into some of the specific questions we have. Yeah, certainly. I mean, so just to start, and set some higher level context, we're here because we're super committed to Hadoop, of course, and we're working on product offerings in the cloud and our partnership with Hortonworks to ensure that Hadoop is really available for all of our customers, right? We almost have, I would call it a responsibility to help the Windows ecosystem benefit from everything that Hadoop has to offer. And so we've been working tremendously hard on that. And then as you noted, we announced just today the general availability of our HD Insight product offering as part of Azure, which is at Hadoop in the cloud. So honestly, you guys have a huge install base. In fact, we were joking the other day, Microsoft's earnings came out, and it's always the negative press under the whole Balmer thing, and people are like, oh boy, Microsoft's really hurting billions and billions of dollars in cash flow. So you guys are obviously not hurting from a business standpoint, huge install base, certainly the enterprise, right? Which really is looking at Retool, and we're just talking about self-defined data center and with Azure, you guys are positioned perfectly to extend out your leadership from an existing enterprise into the cloud, which then enables a lot of the big data applications. So the question on everyone's mind is, okay, on the enterprise grade Hadoop, what does that data platform look like? What's your vision around that? And what do customers do with you guys to get started? How are they road mapping out to the cloud and big data? Yeah, well, it's a great question. And Hadoop is a cornerstone of big data, but it's not the entire structure of big data, right? If you think of a cornerstone as one part of a greater structure, the work we're doing to make sure Hadoop is enterprise grade, it's around security, and Windows integration, and tools integration, and we're contributing a lot. I mean, we've put in thousands of hours of development and tens of thousands of lines of code into Hadoop, not just to make it work great on Windows, but just to make Hadoop great, right? And there is a foundational piece where customers will get started and then grow from there. And as you noted, we have Microsoft SQL service most widely deployed database in the world. And helping those professionals also start to embrace the big data phenomenon and embrace Hadoop is also a big part of the journey for us. So Quinn, you got Microsoft customer, they're enterprise ready. He has been in the business for decades. So they have an expectation for availability, reliability, performance, they have an experience in their mind as to what they're going to get when they adopt a Microsoft product. Compare that traditional Microsoft product with where you're at with the Microsoft products for Hadoop. Are we, is it parity? Are we still got a little ways to go? Still got a long ways to go? Can you describe that? Well, I mean, a big part of our effort to get the HG insight to GA was to get it to that enterprise expectation, security integration, tools integration, the work we've done to make Hadoop work great on Windows is a lot about making sure that it has that enterprise sort of ability. There's another piece of it which is integration with the rest of the platform, right? There, one of the things I was talking about this morning at the keynote was about reaching a billion people with a value of big data, right? And it's kind of a provoking thought in a way because what you really want at the end of the day is for anyone who can benefit from having the information available to them and being able to understand what it may mean and have that conversation and dialogue with the data to be able to do that. And so, whether the data is in Hadoop or it's in our relational database or it's coming from sources like OData, we're trying to make sure we funnel all that data in a way that allows people to start to build the kinds of BI and analytics models that'll let them understand what it means. So I think I told you I was listening to the keynote but I wasn't watching, I was doing some other stuff and I heard the billion and I got my, usually when you hear numbers like that you think okay, it's a phone, right? It's the data on my phone. That's how I'm going to get to a billion but then, you know, I listened and said, okay, no, they're not talking about that. Talking about Excel, essentially an office. So there's a billion office users, right? Like most of them, I would presume, use Excel in some way shape form, right? Maybe half, I don't know, maybe more than half, maybe a little bit less than half but a lot, you know? So is the idea that you'll put the power of big data into Excel and then people like I can just use it, I'm gonna, the reason would be a provision. In the office, and there's, you make a great observation, like we're gonna, there's more than a billion people that are gonna participate in big data in a passive way.  What I'm talking about is the more active participation where you're curious as a human about something and something's able to help make you smarter in that space. One of the things that we're looking at, even for example, is in the sports arena, right? We're actually talking to a couple of the large US-based sports leagues and saying, would you like a power Q and A model, which is the thing we can do, natural language interrogation of big data sources? Would you like a power Q and A model over your dataset for the fantasy league fans and district fans and general and like, and there's a sort of pause and then you walk them through what that could mean and of course they do, right? So they'll be consumers, if you will, of big data in that arena, but are they using Excel? No, not really, they're just participating, right? So okay, so what's that experience gonna be like? I'm gonna be able to ask a question. Can I do that today? We actually have some models with some of these datasets and I won't go into the details, which are not sort of that far along yet with these customers, but let's just say I have fantasy teams that I'm doing pretty well with in part because my ability to really have the data, have a conversation with the depth of data, to really understand what these players capabilities are and what conditions and who's on the bench at any given time, given weather conditions and which day in the run over history and all that, and it's been good. So I can play Moneyball and fantasy sports is really what's going on. Yeah, and you know, but instead of having an analyst have to sit and understand which columns mean what, you just walk up and you just ask questions, right?  In the business side, it's transformational, right? We have, of course, as you might imagine, models that we use for our own business. I have it for my own engineering work, I have it for the business that I run and our ability to gain insight in real time and really interact with the information to understand what may be done with it is very different having using these tools. So why did you guys decide not to do your own Hadoop distro? Take us back to that decision. Yeah, it's a good question. And primarily our focus has been in improving the Apache core, right? And by doing that, all of the great work that we've been doing to make Hadoop work great on Windows and to make Hadoop great is finding its way into all of the distributions as a result. And our partnership with Hortonworks was just such that it just made sense to let them lead HDP into Windows and our customers were happy with that and so we're kind of in a win-win-win situation where they're able to continue to push and have that cross-platform distribution capability. We're able to give our customers a solution and keep up with the cadence of the industry. How about the data portion of big data?  At Microsoft? Yes, at Microsoft. How are you making that data accessible to your community? Are, how are you monetizing that? Are you monetizing that? Do you have plans to monetize that? There's a lot of valuable information that's public or quasi-public or you own that doesn't violate privacy. I'm sure there's lots that does and you can't put that out in the public domain but there's plenty that doesn't, whether it's traffic information or this is an endless list of things. What are you doing? What's the data strategy? Yeah, that's a great question. I'll just give a couple of examples of the kinds of things that we've done and some direction that we're taking. A couple examples are we have a synonym service that's out of Bing. So you call an API and it hands you back a bunch of synonyms, which doesn't sound like a big deal until you realize that synonyms in terms of understanding language for search and query and all that stuff is like super, super, super important. So as an example, we have that database which is actually derived out of our Bing crawls, right? And so we're able to drive that data set with machine learning, open that up as a database basically and offer that out to people. There are other examples that are like that in terms of things that are emerging but whether it's data that's being pulled together by Bing or data that we have because of our phone assets or Windows or Xbox Live or Office 365, as you know there is a lot of data and we are working at an industry level to figure out what data is relevant for verticals across various industries, I'll give you an example. There is tremendous value in package shipping company data to banks. It's like, well, that's a little odd, why is that? Well, because if you're doing small loans in retail it turns out how many packages are coming in and off the front door is a really interesting data signal as to whether one of those loans are going to be valuable in the future, et cetera. One of these connections that wasn't obvious at first but once you dig into the details it turns out it makes a ton of sense. So we're doing a bunch of work like that and trying to understand the patterns that are emerging on an industry basis. Another example is we have a catalog of public data sources and so you can go into Power Query which is one of the Power BI tools that's integrated into Excel. You can type in things, one of my favorites is King County which is the county for where Seattle is in Washington state and King County health inspection data and because of the work we do in conjunction with being defined interesting data sources we have a public data source catalog that includes an entry for where to find King County health records and then you find all this interesting information on restaurants in terms of how they were inspected which is really interesting when you put it up on a map. It just teaches you a lot as a consumer but you can get from being curious about that to seeing a globe with stacked views on how many inspections and how many of them were of the interesting kind as a consumer versus not. Inspections of interest. Yeah, inspections of interest. You can get to that result in under a minute with the tools and before that, how would you even begin to figure this out? Yeah, Quinn, talk about the, you mentioned Bing so let's talk about as you guys have the huge back end big cloud, I'll see a lot of things going on with that which will be subject to our cloud show when we go to AWS re-invent and open stack and other cloud events will be up but this is the data show but you mentioned Bing. As your service is Bing so there's a ton of infrastructure that's servicing Bing I assume and I've heard, I'm not sure what the official statement is but that's well known in the industry that's a lot of stuff you're doing with Bing. Internally, what have you guys learned and what are you guys taking out of your experience and dealing with that massive engine and Bing because there's a lot of different, it's all these are there on the search engine side. State data sources, diversity, size of data, you mentioned metadata management with the crawling and taking those cinemas and macros these kinds of concepts. And you take that into an environment where it's much more smaller scale, you got to kind of package some big concepts that Bing has done and bring it down to the big data world. Is it easy to do? Are you guys doing that? Can you share some insight into what you've learned and some of the best practices being a supplier to Bing which could be a proxy for essentially large enterprises? Yeah, well I mean the first thing we're really doing with that learning is applying it to Azure and having that whole cycle really work. Managing large scale systems at cloud scale as you can imagine it's a big engineering challenge, big operational challenge. And so that cycle of learning between the work that we're doing across all of Azure and our online properties is a virtuous cycle. And as you may imagine they also have in the data space they have needs for analytics and visualization tools and reaching everyone in every business whether it's the Xbox business or the Office business or the Bing business with insights that ultimately help them shape what they do. And so we're sort of very fortunate to have this very strong first-party muscle that lets us shape the platform and get use of the platform to help inform how to really scale. What do you think are blind spots for the industry out there? Looking back I'm not saying anything bad about Microsoft but like if you could share advice to folks out there saying knowing what you guys have known and experience of Bing out to the rest of the market around social data because that's a big topic here which is essentially consumer data what they're touching on their mobile phones how that's coming back into a data center. What would you share with folks out there that's potential blind spots that they need to be aware of? Yeah, Mel, I'll give you just one quick story about this. I literally met with two very large hotel conglomerates in the course of a business week. I think there was an intervening weekend but across several days I met with two in our customer briefing centers back in Redmond. It was a very, I walked out of those two meetings realizing just what was really at stake. One customer had plumbed their hotels with telemetry, with RFIDs, and said they're giving the hotel key you get it's not the magnetic stripe instead it's the proximity thing which as a consumer feels really cool or in high tech right. But what they don't tell you is that there's actually a lot of proximity sensors in the hotel so they kinda know who's going to the gym, who's not. There's a lot of information that they can collect as a result of having these things plumbed this way. They've also embraced social in a very deep way and so they understand what the sentiment is, what people are saying, what people's hobbies are and so they're able to really customize and tailor the experience for everybody at scale programmatically and I'm like wow these people are really headed somewhere. A few days later I met with another one of these conglomerates and they were nowhere with us and I'm sitting there and I'm watching them and I'm like you're kind of in trouble. I mean competitively you're not gonna be able to differentiate you're not gonna be able to compete because you're not already embracing all of this telemetry and they don't think of it. I mean like the swiping data from a hotel key like they think it was operational data they didn't think of it as an advance for them and personalization of experience for their guests and these are two worlds apart and so the thing I would just tell people is look at what the big companies are doing and embracing and look at what's behind that and eventually what seems high scale to the few will end up being pedestrian to the many over time. So talk about the data center we were talking with Wayne Disco earlier about their position which resonates well with some of the enterprise customers we've talked about the data center whether it's software defined data center whether it's a future cloud around up time. We've heard the stories about Netflix going down and people that's an obvious consumer example but there are issues around big data being up and running, having high availability having discontinuous operations. Where is the state of the market in that area? In general cloud availability.  That's unique I mean not a lot of people talking about that what's your take on that? Well look property of cloud property a commercial cloud property like Azure has these capabilities built into it. I mean you have to. You don't get to run a business like Bing where if you had a data center fail you're out of business that day right? You don't get to do that. It's a zero fail, it's zero tolerance. You need to talk about a rambunctious group of users you can't take Xbox live down, like ever. Ever nice. In fact that would cause a riot in my own house. Bing you go down for a little bit but not Xbox live. Little slow query but Xbox no lagging, no lagging. You don't earn the reputation that we have and you don't get the results that we have in those businesses without having solved that problem. So yes we've had to of course embrace the global scale and availability and data center management and it's a lot of engineering work but it's a tremendous power once you get to that scale when things actually work turnkey and creating a new business. So like when we did Power Q and A we weren't worried about data centers where are we gonna find those and it's all just turnkey for us, right? And you get a lot of engineering power and agility out of that. Quentin on that note we're gonna take a break here but I want to get you to get to the final word. Maybe we'll do some crowd chats with you guys in the future because this is really hot topic, this enterprise grade. This is really important. I want to get your final thoughts on kind of what you're gonna see come out of the show and beyond. What's gonna happen next? But how do you see this evolve? Now obviously people are starting to settle into these, starting to see some tech get some solid ground, still some areas to work on, a lot of white spaces, still opportunities but how do you see it kind of settling out and going forward? Yeah and even just listening to the talk this morning I would say that there's a sort of consistent meme of how is this really being embraced by business for results, right? Sometimes early in the evolution of technology everyone's exploring what the tech is capable of and I think there's now a focus shifting to what it's gonna impact and how it's gonna change businesses operationally on a day to day basis going forward and so there's a lot of interest in real time and finishing the last mile of analytics and intelligence and all that stuff to the users because I think there is a shift now on to what greater purpose? Okay this is theCUBE, we're live in New York City, this is theCUBE, I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante, we're live from Big Data, NYC, Hadoop World, Stratocommerce, all the detailed coverage here, we'll be right back with our next guest after this break.


Must have been doing on the offensive end. Jamarco pick at the corner, three knocks it down, handoff. All the way to the hoop, goes Simon, goes Simon. They get it. To Govan, and the jumper is good for James Akinja. Nowhere to go, but he finds a cutting block to the hoop for the nice dunk. His teammates have to be prepared. Jake and Moseley, the floater on the baseline gives George down its first lead of the game at 16-15. The most in the big 10. McClung showing off his athletic ability getting to the hoop for his first two points. Akinja doesn't want the three. Blair will take the three, and Javon Blair knocks it down. Corner, Griffin for three. No good, the rebound and tip is off. Griffin gets it back, he comes up short. Another lead for a shot attempt, rattles in for three. As he's got six, and it's a six-point lead for the Hoyas. We'll see who's out of his hand. Williams for three for the shot clock, rounding down off the assist. Spin move, hanging, has it blocked this time. That abounds, will stay Illinois basketball. Morning, good job to get that pass, finds. There he is, Govan underneath for his first easy basket off the game. Akinja keeps it a triple alive, shot clock down to 10. Morning on the base line, able to find Caleb Johnson. He gets the miss, puts it back in. Akinja's first to the Hoyas. Io, to the reverse. He says second to the back. I can do it too. He took a heck of a lot more contact that time. The three for Io, the second of the consumer. Another pull-up for three. Two big men. Govan, the turnaround November. Kipra got an open look. Malinowski, the open look for found is up five. This is settled into a boxing match. Counterpunch for counterpunch. Shot clock, McClung steals it. Watch out, here we go. Gets it to Feliz, has it blocked back for the Georgetown Hoyas. On the road, against the Align Eye and the Gavett, tip off games. Tell you what, partner, we just saw a good one.


Welcome to the weather forecast for the week beginning Wednesday, June 2nd. Yes, it's June. We're there. I'm chief mural just John Innsworth for Longmont Public Media We start out with a new moon next week. We these are all hidden on Wednesdays now So I'm leaving them the end of the forecast period. So nothing to see but Moon in the early morning hours getting smaller and smaller So let's take a look at our drought our drought conditions are getting better and better So just good news at least for this side of the continental divide So last week we had drought-free conditions up the northeast down here near Pueblo south of the Springs And then going to this week a large portion of the southern central area of the state has become drought-free Not a lot of change over here But a little bit of the colors got nipped back more rainfall has fallen this week on the western slopes and as we'll see There's some hope that the rain will focus more there over the next seven to ten days than it has so far We're doing fine here. We are Somewhere about if I remember from channel seven five to six inches above normal now So we have lots of water going for us Nationally if you take a look at last week you can and going into this week much the great plains the drought margins have Nipped back a little bit a little more worsening drought out in the west and in the inner Mountain West going forward So small changes again. It's not extremely hot in most places except the desert Southwest yet Taking a look at some of this beneficial rain up to 70 on Monday We had really close to an inch over most of the city over an inch here down around Balder We had inch and a third few inch and a half location and so tons of water has really great No, we didn't get at the beginning was the batch of thunderstorms on Saturday that we were expecting They hit north they hit south of us with a severe weather down around the Palmer Divide out in the plains Colorado Springs area like that a little cold air again came back in right in advance of the system and Stabilized the northern high 25 corridor, but the rainfall has been Monstrously significant so the yellows here are two inches four inches and just a huge part of much of the Eastern two-thirds of the state has received an inch to two or more. So fantastic water Don't have any severe weather forecasted In Colorado over the next three days and that's as far out as the storm prediction center goes reliably But you can take a look at the normals. So last week you had Highest chances here, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas normal It's what you expect looking right around Longmont area in our 25. We're sort of the two to three out of the scale of eight and Go into the first week of June. You see that the severe region expected severe weather Chances much higher broader area on the plains and they do inch back a little bit further west in Colorado So chances of especially big significant Layers of hail on the ground type thunderstorms are gonna go up in June. That's our big hail month. So we'll keep an eye on it Let's take a look at the setup though. What do we have do we have these hail producing storms? No, we don't right away Because on Wednesday, we have this giant ridge finally coming into dominating the West. We have a low way down here We have the trough that was our stormy weather over the last few days inching out under the plains and looking at this surface We have high pressure here just your typical mountain triggered afternoon thunderstorms Then going to Friday the ridge is really expanding. It's just monstrous from West Coast all the way out here to the Ohio, Mississippi Valley. So We'll be very dry and warming quite quickly coming out of this trough So our normal high temperatures climb from 77 to 82 now It's normally going to be in the 80s That's where you can expect with 40s now climbing into the 50s at night and the actual temperatures see this time Just bouncing right around in the middle of this normal envelope. So no extreme heat. No extreme cold This is normal for this time of year. We have a chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday night into Wednesday, and then our dry spell is the big ridge passes And then we get into the afternoon thunderstorm chances We have moisture coming back into the stays. We'll see in just a moment and every day all the way through That's Friday Is just take a look at the sky to the west and see if it starts to darken and be ready to get inside if You're doing things outside So I'm putting this into motion going from Thursday Into Friday you can see this big ridge start moving to the east and expanding across the nation Into the weekend. Do you have this interesting little cutoff load off the California coast here? it starts to kind of interact with a trough pulling down in the west and By Tuesday Wednesday it crosses the state or right now it doesn't look like much in the ensemble But we do need to see if that turns into something more significant this week And that could be something that would give us some severe weather Trough continues to slowly approach as we get to the end of the forecast period. So we'll have something Stormy to talk about next week. This is precipitable water Greens are above normal amounts of atmospheric moisture and where it's been out here on the plains and on the eastern side of The Rockies it's now pretty Heavy over on the western slopes in Utah Northern Arizona for much of this forecast period So that's why I'm saying we're could see a lot more rain and thunderstorm activity out on the western side, which is fantastic It's exactly what we need Is that trough passes pulls in some dry air briefly, but then the moisture comes back into the state very quickly after that This is not as impressive to look at as it is in the winter when you get a good winter storm with the snow going around below But you can see that the storms popping up on the western slopes and up in Utah kind of day after day here before We get into the next week when we start to see the storms Make it out under the plains a little bit more. So yeah, that's good. Just good We can take a little break here let things dry out a little bit let the western side Stay get some moisture and we'll get back to our thunderstorms after that so over the next five days It's just a little trick of the model But we have a completely rain-free tiny spot right over a long amount So I it's random, but it is very little rainfall expected on this side of the mountains We got one inch amounts down here down into the southwestern part of the state and over the next ten days again The focus is more on the higher mountains western slopes than it is on the plains, but that's okay We can we can deal with that so looking out in the next seven days We leave the 60s and 70s of the beginning of the week We get right into the 80s and just stay in the 80s with nighttime temperatures bouncing around in the 50s It's not until Saturday that we start to see the thunderstorm chances pick up in the afternoon again. I Do have one more thing to cover before we go. We did look at our June outlook put up by the National Ocean and atmospheric administration and they've updated it and that might be because Last week we talked about the El Nino La Nina state going into neutral. It's neither Going forward for the next few months. And so they had Hired the normal chances of above normal temperatures for much of the west Normal down in the south central part of the nation. They're updated map which different scale Sorry, but it kind of cuts that heat back out further west and further up into the northeast and brings equal chances of normal temperatures over Colorado and Some below normal temperatures for the Gulf. It's a pretty big change and looking at precipitation They had us with a good chance of dry weather here moist down out here on the east and eastern side of the plains And the updated model now has more moisture For the eastern and southern part of the nation and cuts back that dry chances kind of moving it out of Colorado giving Southern and Southwestern Colorado equal chances of normal precipitation. So that's a it's optimistic another good trend so for frequent weather updates and Local news check out longmont leader comm. That's where my weather column is over there I've been chief meteorologist John ends worth keep looking up


Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to a brand new review. Today, I'm discussing Black Panther, the brand new MCU film. Yes, this is the 18th one in the MCU right before we're about to hit Marvel's Avengers Infinity War. And I mean, what a better way to get me more hyped for Infinity War. Black Panther, I will say this right now, is one of the best MCU films to date. I know we say this a lot. I know a lot of people say this after each Marvel film, but I really mean this. This is one of the best MCU films to date. And this is Ryan Coogler's best film to date. I'm going to say this just because the film feels so different than any other Marvel film that we've ever seen before. Now, get me wrong, it has some of its moments that a Marvel film would have, of course. But overall, the film feels so different tonally throughout the whole entire film, even from the second that we started. It just feels like a different type of film than we've ever seen in the MCU. And I think that comes out of the play because of Ryan Coogler's style. You feel Ryan Coogler touches his mastery all over this film. And this film starts, it gets right into the worldbuilding and mythology of Wakanda.  And when they're building up this world of Wakanda, just talking about it, striping it, it gets you so into the feel of this film that you're just right in the go, already on board with what this world is and what it has to offer. As the film plays out, the African culture that they portray in here is so represented so rightly that it makes me smile throughout the whole film, knowing what this film is going to do for the culture of geeks and the culture of just our society in general within Hollywood. Just overall that this film is such a success on every single level, makes me even more happy. I have to say, dear god, the cinematography for here is fantastic. And seriously, the cinematography, if it is not nominated for Best Cinematography this year, I know the year just started, but I'll be surprised if this isn't one of the best looking films of this year. I mean, the film is magnificent. It is beautiful. I mean, there's some moments in here where I was just sitting there, sitting in awe of the amount of moments in here that are going to show up on the One Perfect Moment page on Twitter. Even the story goes in here. It feels very Shakespearean at times. It feels very unique to its touches, which again, go to the main tone of this film and the main style that you feel from this. And that's something that I think a lot of Marvel films have been lacking on, is that even though some of them carry a different genre and a different tone to it, say, Alla Spider-Man is a John Hughes film of some sorts, Thor Ragnarok is more of a buddy cop crime kind of action type movie. But you look at this film and the tone is completely different than those. But the style is felt throughout the whole film. Given we do get some touches from other directors in their style and some other MCU films. But this is the first time that I've actually looked at this and said, this feels like a completely different film than we've ever seen before. This gets me into my performances in here. Chadwick Boseman as Takala is fantastic to say the least. I mean, he is so good and already engrossed into the role of Black Panther. He's a badass. He's menacing. And his relationship with every character in here is fantastic. His sister in here, Shuri, their relationship is so magnificent. It's so relatable, but it's also so like you can just believe it. It flows so well. And that goes for every relationship in here that the Takala and every character has with one another. You believe it. It flows perfectly. And I know that's a lot of what Ryan Cooler is really good at is relationships and characters. And he brings that to Black Panther. I already mentioned Shuri. She's one of the best parts about here. I love seeing his little sister in here. And apparently she's the smartest mind in the MCU now, even smarter than Tony Stark. So that's pretty cool to say the least. Moving in there, Michonne from Walking Dead is in here. She's a complete badass. And she owns the screen when she's on there. Lupita Nwango, one of the most beautiful ladies in Hollywood is in here as well. And again, this is something I come down to in Marvel films where the relationships usually never work. Lupita's character works hands down completely. She's not just a love interest for Takala. She is a full throughout character that works in every single aspect of the right that I loved seeing her character pop up. And she has such a good relationship with Takala that I believe in it and not just her love, but in the way that they're played out throughout the whole film. We get to one of my favorite parts about this film. And that is Eric Kilmonger portrayed brilliantly by Michael B Jordan. Of course, Michael B Jordan has shown up for all of Ryan Cooler's film so far. And I mean, it's a match made in heaven. Michael B Jordan, I will say this right now. And maybe some people won't agree with me, but I think that's fine. Kilmonger is the best villain in the MCU. Absolutely the best villain in the MCU. And Michael B Jordan has portrayed a fantastic villain in every sense of the way where at times you can even kind of side with him. And that's saying a lot. That's something very unique that we've seen in a Marvel film that I mean, the MCU has not had a lot of good villains. But I'll even say this and add on one more further. Kilmonger is the best comic book villain we've had in a comic book movie since The Dark Knight's Joker. I mean that wholeheartedly. I know, I know he's still not as good as the Joker's Heath Ledger's Joker. But Kilmonger seriously is up on that level of how well written and how well performed he was as this character. Yes, it goes down to the writing that I think a lot of Marvel films are gonna have to take this style and say, hey, they actually gave some concept and gave some backstory to the film. Maybe we should start doing this for other films. And I think that's something that's gonna be really, after seeing this film, any other Marvel film that comes after this, it's gonna be really hard for me to not pick apart the villain even more. Seeing that Marvel did it very well in here. And I know Ryan Kuga directed this film and wrote it as well. But that's gonna come down to a big fair point to any other Marvel film I see after this. Again, the rest of the cast that I didn't even get to mention is also fantastic. Everyone has a moment to shine in here that works brilliantly for the place of the movie. Then small touches to the film are brilliant that I have to say even more and adds on to how much this film is grand. Add on to the costume design and the culture that is represented in this film. I mean, the costumes in here are so good. Another thing that if it's not nominated at the end of the year, I don't know what the hell the Oscars are looking at. I'm already looking forward to the rest of the year. But I know that the costume design in here is like for sure gone conclusion that it'll get nominated. It is some of the best costume design I've ever seen in the film. The score is magnificent. I picked it apart so easily and how it's running through each scene, it fits in each scene. And then the way it intertwines in the Kendrick Lamar soundtrack that he made for this film adds on to more layers. Kendrick Lamar made a fantastic soundtrack that if you've just been listening to and you've liked it so far elevates each and every scene, every time the score or every time the soundtrack adds into this world. Let me get to one of my last favorite parts about this film. It is the action. The action is superb. I will say some of the action was a little choppy at times and kind of hurt my eyes at times where it's kind of like the bolts are flashing and stuff. But at the same time it didn't. Some of the action here is so well choreographed. I was really hoping for a scene like an action scene kind of like from Creed. But I understand like barely none. It's kind of hard to film that with kind of all the CGI you have to add in here. But the car chases, the action scenes in here kind of felt like they were straight off a James Bond film and sometimes gave that like spy espionage thriller to it that was just had me on the edge of my seat jaw dropping at some points that I was just so engrossed to know like how strong the Black Panthers, how strong where he gets his powers from this whole world Wakanda it all adds into it and the action in here is it has to some of the best moments I think we've seen in the MCU yet. The world building, the action, the acting in here is all top bar some of the best in the MCU as of yet. I think it comes down to say this is that Black Panther is a near masterpiece for the MCU and I'm really portraying this because I usually say this is that when I go into a film with a lot of hype behind me I usually leave a little bit disappointed or a little bit just like okay I need to think about it a little more. There's a couple of films in my life that I've seen where it has actually exceeded that and hit those expectations. Three of them are actually in the MCU. One being Guardians of the Galaxy. Two being Spider-Man Homecoming. And three being Black Panther. Adds on to the list of those films.  On the end of the day there is only one problem that I can actually find within Black Panther for me and that is at times the film can feel kind of slow and it's a slow burn pace throughout a little bit of the film but it's a good pace for me. I like these slow burns but I have to address that because I think some people are going to go in here and want more action or want more faster paced and also maybe want some more humor. There weren't a lot of jokes thrown out throughout the whole film kind of how some MCU films do.  For some reason Black Panther didn't carry a ton of jokes like that which I give them props for that's a risk that Marvel took and I think in the end it worked for them. With all that said I'm very happy to be giving Black Panther an A. I can't wait to hear what your eyes thoughts are of Black Panther I think this is going to be a really exciting movie for tons of people and I really can't wait to hear what your eyes thoughts are so make sure to comment down below tell me you guys thoughts on it tell me what you guys are thinking of it make sure to look out for my spoiler talk review of Black Panther over on Rhino Tools channel later this weekend I'm also going to be re-ranking all the Marvel films with Black Panther intro twined in there it's a really hard list to make and of course guys you always always know to make sure to hit that like button and subscribe especially if you're new make sure to go check out Sam or Sean films down below where you guys can find tons of advanced screen coming up for movies coming soon and also some movie news as well so if you're into movie news and reading some articles you guys might as well check us out down below so as always guys make sure to go hit out all my social media down below so we can converse and talk movies because that's what's important here is talking some movies as always know this remember to stay classy and of course Wakanda forever


Happy holidays everyone! Right now you are part of a four-year-long tradition on this channel. At the start of December, I do my Nintendo Switch holiday buying guide, where I take 150 Switch games, and I let you know no matter who you're buying for this holiday season, if it's yourself or a loved one, these are the games that you should be getting or you should be staying away from. Because I want to help you be a hero this Christmas day, that game that you stuff into little Jimmy's stocking, I want it to be the best game possible. These are games that, right now, if you're to walk into a GameStop, Walmart, or any store that sells games, or if you're being safe this holiday season and shopping online, these are the popular games that you will most likely come across this holiday season. And I've broken them down into categories. First, we have the full price 50 to 60 dollar games, then we have the mid-range 30 to 40 dollar games, and finally the 10 to 20 dollar games. From there, I've broken them down again into three more categories. The must buy games, the maybe games, and then finally we have the avoid games. These are the games you stay away from because nobody wants them this holiday season. Something I'm doing different this year to other years. I'm going to start with the games that came out this year. Chances are whoever you're buying games for has had a switch for a while now, and you might want to know which games came out recently. Almost every single game I mention, I've more than likely reviewed on the channel. So if you want to find out more about the individual games, go to the description down below, because I will list all of my reviews for all of these games. And I'll leave a link to Amazon where you can go and buy the game. I'm hoping it makes it easier for you to find something cool this Christmas. Or whatever you're celebrating and giving gifts for. Now we're going to hear a quick word from today's sponsor, and then we'll get started. Oh, hi. I can't believe it's almost Christmas already. In fact, Kim and I went to a Christmas tree farm today, and I cut down my first Christmas tree. Kind of hope there's no spiders in it. Oh, and what's this? It looks like old Saint Nick has stopped by my house already and left just a ton of Vessys. As you guys know, I've had my Vessys for several months now. They are tough and flexible, but still really comfortable. They look stylish and best of all, they are 100% waterproof, which is perfect for the wet weather season. It rained today while we were out there at the Christmas tree farm thing that we were at.   My wallet. And sure, I got them a little dirty today, but all I had to do when I got home was rinse them off under some water. And right now, Vessys is having an incredible early holiday sale. So don't procrastinate and wait to do your Christmas shopping and then wind up on Christmas with nothing to give. Just check the link below.  Okay, now I really am scared about spiders. So I'm getting out of here. Let's start with the full price $50 to $60 must buy games.   So every single year I start with the main three Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild and Super Smash Brothers. Then last year I added a fourth Pokemon sword or shield. This year I'm adding a fifth game into that animal crossing. These five games are the games the best that Nintendo Switch has to offer. And out of those animal crossing released this year, it's the newest one. And I'm telling you, kids, children, adults, elderly, it's a perfect Christmas gift if they don't have it already. From there, we have two other new games this year. Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity and Mario 3D All-Stars. Hyrule Warriors is the newest Zelda game. It's a prequel game to Zelda Breath of the Wild. However, it's a very different style of game than Breath of the Wild. But any big Zelda fan is going to need this in their collection. And Mario 3D All-Stars is three of the best 3D platformer Mario games put into one package. This game might actually be pretty hard to find later on. So if you have a retro gamer in your house or someone that loves Mario games, this game could be perfect for them. Also Paper Mario, which I actually missed when I was making this video somehow. But it's a Mario game, so it's always a safe bet. So from there we have some older Switch games that are still staples for the console. Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade 2 and Splatoon 2. With Splatoon 2, I always like to mention there is a paid online subscription service if you want to play the game. It's a few dollars a month, but it's still something to look out for. That is all the expensive must-buy games. Now let's look at the 30 to 40 dollar must-buy games. So a couple of new games that came out this year starting with Clubhouse Games 51. This game is a pack of 51 other games ranging from board games to card games, but it's great family fun. Minecraft Dungeons is another new one. It's a dungeon crawler kind of like Diablo, but more child friendly. I actually really liked it a lot. And then this year they brought out a Sonic Mania Plus Team Sonic Racing double pack, and it's only 30 dollars. Both of these games are really fun, and it's the same price as buying both of them separately. From there you have Crash Team Racing, New Super Lucky's Tale, Hollow Knight, Moonlighter. Dead Cells has a Game of the Year edition now, so look for that one. It has all the DLC added in. Overcooked 1 and 2, you can get a double pack with both overcooked games. People love these games. They're another great family game. Undertale, Shovel Knight, Minecraft, Spyro Trilogy and Crash Trilogy. Then we have the 10 to 20 dollar games that are must buys. These games make for perfect stocking stuffers. You almost can't go wrong. Xenoblade 2 Tournament Golden Country has actually dipped down to 25 dollars, so I'm throwing it in here. It's a prequel game to the original Xenoblade 2, but it's a really big fully fleshed out story of its own. Then I always recommend Starling. This game is just super fun, and it's been 10 to 20 dollars pretty much since it released. It didn't sell very well, so it dropped down from that $60 price pretty quick. Mario and Rabbids is also great and always really cheap. Forager has dropped in price. Kadamari, it'll do two, and any Telltale game you can find, it's always worth the money. Okay. All right. So there was a lot of games there in that must buy section. I would say if you're looking to buy games this Christmas, start with all of those. And you can pick and mix, you know, buy a couple of the expensive games or buy one expensive game and then a couple of cheap ones, but you can't go wrong with any. That said, if you didn't like the look of any of those or maybe the person you're buying for or you yourself have all of those, let's go into the maybes. Okay. Starting with the $50 to $60 games, well, actually there is one even more expensive than that. And that's Mario Kart Home Circuit. It's like $99, I think. It's really expensive, but it's awesome. It's expensive because it actually comes with a RC Mario Kart Kart. You can make tracks out of your own house and then race in augmented reality around your room. All you need is the game and your switch. It is really cool and a great Christmas gift, but obviously that's expensive. So I put it in maybe. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. I put this in maybe because it is a remaster of a game that came out many years ago. So there's always the off chance that maybe someone's already played it back on the Wii and they don't want to play it again. Immortals Phoenix Rising. I initially put this one in maybe, but I've been playing it the last few days early on my switch and I'm now realizing it should probably be in must buy because it's great. And I don't know why I put it in maybe. If you like games like Breath of the Wild, you're going to really love this one because it's Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team. It is good, but you have the main Pokemon Sword and Shield and I like to always make sure that maybe mums and dads buying for their kids are buying the right Pokemon game that their kids want. And that's more than likely Pokemon Sword and Shield, which are the big main Pokemon games that are out right now. Same goes for Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu. Those are remakes of older Pokemon games. They're not the newest ones, but they are really good. We have Captain I Can't Pronounce Rise of New Champion. I haven't played this one, but I've heard really great things. It looks like a soccer game, but it's an RPG. I don't know, but apparently it's really good. A new Kingdom Hearts game, Melody of Memory. It's not like the traditional Kingdom Hearts game. It's a rhythm-based game, but it's getting really good reviews and I'm looking forward to playing it. Tokyo Mirage Sessions Encore. Another fantastic RPG, but I always put these Wii U ports into this Maybe section because chances are someone's already played it. And then Just Dance 2021, just because I don't like them doesn't mean that other people don't. Also, while making this video, they announced Doom Eternal is releasing on Switch December 8th. Look, this game released everywhere else like a year ago. But if you know someone who really wants to slay demons on the go this holiday season, this could be perfect. Okay, those are all the new games. And then we also have Fire Emblem Three Houses, which I really debated putting that in a must-buy this year, honestly. Link's Awakening, again, I think that's a must-buy, especially if you're buying like a Switch Lite for a kid or something. Link's Awakening is a great idea. But just like with Pokemon, this Zelda game is not the main Zelda game that everyone's loving and talking about right now. That is Breath of the Wild, or I guess Age of Calamity. Super Mario Maker 2 is always good, Astral Chain, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest 11s, Octopath Traveler, Yeez, a Ring Fit Adventure. Super Mario Party is a great family game.  Don't do it. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. I debated this one because I don't think it's still worth $60, but it's not a bad game, especially if there's a Marvel fan in the house. Labo Kits. For kids with a creative mind that love building things, this could be a perfect holiday gift. It really depends on who you're buying it for, but there's a few different kinds, and I would go the VR one, honestly. Yoshi's Crafted World is a really cute fun game for younger audiences, but bear in mind, it's like six hours long. Mario Tennis Aces. It's, it's tennis, but it's good. Mario and Sonic get the Olympic Games. It's Olympic Games, but I mean it's good. Pikmin 3, actually, that's new. Came out like a month ago, but it's also not new. It's also a port from the last Nintendo console, the Wii U, and this game is also kind of a hit and miss. I love it, but there's a lot of people that might not like it, so it's a gamble game. Also speaking of Wii U ports, there's Donkey Kong Country and Bayonetta on Switch. Hyrule Warriors was also on the last console, but I want to mention, don't get this one confused with the new Zelda game. I only have so much time to explain everything here, but Hyrule Warriors is a spin-off Zelda game made by a different team. It was such a cool little game that Nintendo got the same people to make Age of Calamity and they actually tied the new one into the story. Don't get it confused with Age of Calamity is what I'm saying. Age of Calamity is the new one. Get that one. And then Diablo 3, Skyrim, Witcher 3, and Doom. Pretty much everyone loves these games and their safe bets, but I do want to mention that the price for these games have stayed at about this 50 to 60 dollar range while they are like almost 10, 20 bucks on other consoles. So if your kid has like an Xbox, get him Skyrim on Xbox. Okay, what did I say? Big section. Now we go down to the 30 to 40 dollar mid-range games and there's just as many. There's a lot. Sakuna Rice and Ruin is the newest one. It's a 2D side-scroller beat-em-up style game with some farming elements. It's really fun. Digimon Story, Cyber Sleuth, Oddworld New and Tasty. That is a full remake of the original Oddworld game you might have played on PlayStation 1 and a fun trip down memory lane. Wonderful 101 came out this year and not many people talked about it. Catherine Full Body. This is for mature audiences, not for kids, but it's a really fun puzzle game with a really cool story. Then we have a publisher called 2K Games release a ton of their best games on the Switch this year. There was Bioshock Collection, including all three Bioshock games. Borderlands Collection, including both Borderlands games and DLC. And then the XCOM games and I highly recommend them especially Bioshock and Borderlands. My Hero Academia fans, there is a new fighting game My Hero Wants Justice 2. It's actually a really solid fighter. There were two old-school racing games that got remasters this year. Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed Remaster and they're both really good. Oddworld Muncher's Odyssey, No Straight Roads is very good. I really like it. A big RPG, Trials of Mana, The Survivalist, A Hat in Time. A Hat in Time could be a really good stocking stuff for a gift for a kid or really anyone. It's kind of similar to Mario 64 or those older Nintendo platformer games. Trials of Cold Steel 3, Sniper Elite 4 if you want to explode some skulls and then Metro Redux was a big first person shooter game that came to the Switch this year. That's all the new games. There's a lot to pick from. Then for some staple $30 to $40 games that you'll find in the stores, Dragon Quest Builders, Nino Cooney, Dragon Ball Fighters, The South Park Games, Dark Souls, The Resident Evil Triple Pack, Overwatch, any Final Fantasy games you can find, Captain Toad, Monster Hunter Generations and putting this in maybe this year and not must buy only because there is a new Monster Hunter Rise coming out pretty soon next year. So you might want to hold off for the new one. However, if you're looking to play this one before the new one, Wolfenstein 2, Kim and I actually really like playing the Trine games. Make sure when you buy this, there's a Trine 4 pack that comes with all four games and it's the same price as buying the other games separately. And then any Lego game you find. If it says Lego on it, Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars, you know, whatever, it's always going to be worth it. Some cool stocking stuff for games this year for $10 to $20 in the maybe section. Darksider Genesis? I always thought about putting this in must buy for the price. It's a top down game kind of like the Diablo games. It's in the Darksiders universe and it's really fun. I don't think it did very well so it's really cheap but you can play it with friends, you can play it alone. It's great. And then you also have Saints Row 4 that came out this year but then there's Saints Row 3 as well on the console. Both of these games are a lot like GTA 5 but crazier versions of them. Speaking of Darksiders, Darksiders 1 and 2, especially the second game, it plays kind of like Zelda games. Travis Strikes Again? Last year I put this in a void actually when it was around $40. I said nah, maybe not. But for 10 to 20 bucks, yeah. The world ends with you is crazy cheap right now. This is a really fun game and a sequel just got announced. So it's a perfect time to buy it super cheap and get caught up. Portal Knights is always great for kids. Ghostbusters remastered on the Switch is great. Resident Evil Origins collections, Terraria, Sushi Striker is like $10 now. It's actually a forgotten about Nintendo game. The Assassin's Creed games are cheap on the Switch now. Super Monkey Ball would be great for kids and Oddworld Stranger's Wrath is cheap. If you just want to be a hero this holiday season just pick any of those 10, 20 games and throw them in a stocking. You can throw three games in there for 30 bucks. It's a good deal. We're at the avoid section. Don't buy these games and I'll tell you why. $50 to $60 expensive games. Bakugan Champions of Vestorilla. It's a new Bakugan game and I could see this getting parents because it comes in a big box and there's toys that go along with it and it looks fun. It's not. The game's actually kind of meh. It looks like a mobile game.  One, two Switch and Arms are two Nintendo Switch games that I feel like parents think they should be games that you should get. Like one, two Switch. It's too expensive and it's not fun. And Arms, it's not a bad game but why is it still full price? It needs to be like $30. I usually get in a hot water for some of these and just like with Mario Brothers, you deluxe. I usually say don't buy that for full price. Don't get Kirby because it's like three or four hours long. That's the only reason. Poken Tournament and Daemon X Markiner. Daemon X Markiner, it's a hit on this game. A lot of people aren't going to like it. I don't think it's worth the price even for the audience that does like it and just nobody's playing Poken Tournament anymore. $30 to $40. Yeah, I got some new games in here. Cobra Kai. I'm throwing this on here because Cobra Kai is kind of big right now. It's on Netflix. Ah, but the game sucks. Cooking Mama, Cookstar. This game just looks like a game that would be fun to have on Switch but it's not. It was rushed. There was a whole controversy behind it but it's not a good game. Farming Simulator 20. Jumanji. It's a good-ish movie. The game's not good. Jump Force Deluxe. I'm only saying don't buy this because I feel like it's going to be one of those $10, $20 games on clearance pretty soon. The Outer Worlds. It's cheaper on a lot of other consoles and at the end of the day it looks like poopy and runs like poopy on the Switch. Then Team Sonic Racing only because I already told you about that double pack earlier. Rocket League is free to play on Switch now. Just play it free. Same goes for Fortnite. There's a new Fortnite Joker Last Laugh Bundle Pack. Something on the shelves this Christmas season. Just a way to get parents to buy Fortnite. It's free. Don't buy it. Tetris 99. Yeah, I know when you buy it you get a couple extra modes. Two player something. Just play it for free. No one cares. Then you got that Narko's game based on the TV show. Waffenstein Young Blood. Overcooked one or two individually. Buy them in a double pack. Two games for the price of one. Better deal. And then the games I always say stay away from WWE 2K18. Don't buy Ark. A lot of kids seem to want Ark on their Switch. It's just it's not good. It doesn't run well at all. Zombieland Double Tap isn't a good game. And then yeah, that brings us to the 10 to 20 dollar get even for 10 bucks. Don't buy it. I know I said buy anything with Lego on it, but I do have to say Lego worlds isn't very fun. There's better Lego games. Sonic Forces, Shack Fu, Troll and I, Carnival Games. This is another one of those games that I always see on the store shelves. It seems like the kind of game a parent would buy just on blind faith that that would be fun for their kid. I'm pretty confident that is everything you will run into this holiday season buying gifts for people or yourself. If you happen to see something else or I did miss something off the list, you can always come back to my channel because I more than likely have a review of it, but I do really hope this video helped you or it just got you in the holiday spirit. All right. I love you all. Have a great whatever. Ho, ho, uh, bye.


Hello everybody and happy Sunday morning or whatever time of day you are watching this. This is just a quick little channel update video to keep all of you guys in the loop. I have mentioned on Twitter and I think on a couple of videos that I'm going to be traveling this week, this Wednesday, I am going to be gone for about a week. Now with that being said, I have been pre-filming a bunch of stuff to have scheduled to drop for you guys while I'm away. However, a lot of the live shows that I do like David Zublik and Aquarius Rising Africa, those will not happen while I'm traveling. With that being said, I will be on with Aquarius Rising Africa this Monday morning because I'll still be here in Atlanta, but for the Wednesday wellness, I will be on the road as well as the next Monday, the 18th and the next Wednesday, I will be traveling during that time so those episodes won't happen then. But once I'm back from my travels, I'll get back to my regularly scheduled live shows with my friends. Now, I wanted to catch you guys up with our love challenge video. I got everyone signs in. I got a bunch of videos from other creators. I'm going to be putting that video together in order to release it for Easter. So be looking out for that video to drop next Sunday. In the meantime, I wanted to give a very, very special shout out to one of the subscribers of this community, Lisa. Lisa sent me the most beautiful journal I think I've ever seen in my life. And it has the actual sign that says, I love you. You're probably thinking you don't even know me. But if people can hate for no reason, I can love Lisa. This is absolutely gorgeous. I am going to be sending you a thank you note. I'll be looking out for that in the mail the next couple of weeks. And actually what I'm thinking about doing, I got your sweet note inside as well. I'm going to save the note. And what I'm thinking about doing, guys, I'm actually thinking about not putting anything into this notebook right away. I'm actually thinking that, you know, hear me out when all of this flips and we're all able to celebrate and actually see each other. I'm thinking about putting pictures of you guys in this book and little notes and stuff from you guys because you guys have meant the world to me on this journey. And so I'm thinking about using this beautiful, beautiful journal that Lisa made. That's kind of like a scrapbook as like a memento for selfishly for myself so that when the day comes that I do actually meet you guys in person that we can take pictures and I can have you guys write things in this. And it will be an awesome way to remember everything that happened during this incredible timeline that we're all living in right now. So I just wanted to once again give a very special shout out to Lisa because Lisa, this is gorgeous. And I got so emotional when I opened the package. Thank you so, so, so much for making this for me. It's, I love these gifts. This is just so, so, so sweet. And I appreciate it so much. Now, once again, I also want to remind everybody to please make sure that you are subscribed to my Rumble page just in case. I think I'm okay right now. But just in case, please, please, please make sure that you are subscribed to the backup channel. I will put a link to that down in the description box below. This will also help whenever I have any very potent guests come on my channel or very potent topics that I need to talk about. Instead of censoring these topics and talking around them, I'm just linking them over to Rumble so that we can have a thorough conversation. And I know there's been some confusion as of late as how to find the full episodes. So if you go ahead and just subscribe to the Rumble page, you'll get notified when those drop as well. Now, if you guys watched the episode that dropped yesterday with Mornay and Shanti from Aquarius Rising Africa, we talked about kind of jokingly, talked about having our moms come on the show for like a Mother's Day episode in May and maybe you guys can ask our moms some questions. If that's something that you guys would be interested in doing, please let me know down in the description box below. I don't check the Rumble comments like I check the YouTube comments. Rumble is a little bit harder to navigate as a creator than YouTube is. So that's typically why I don't really check the comments there. It's just complicated. So please let me know down in these comments if a mom's episode is something that you would be interested in. And if so, if you guys want to ask questions of our moms, let us know too in the comment section below and we can maybe set up a little email for that as well so you can send in the questions to ask the moms regarding the Mother's Day episode. All right, you guys. So once again, this week at 10 o'clock Eastern time on Monday morning, I will be on with Aquarius Rising Africa to talk about the Voynich Manuscript, which is something we have covered on this channel before, but we're going to revisit it with Mornay and Shanti. So please go ahead and make sure you are subscribed to their new channel. I'll put a link down in the description box so you can catch that live episode. At least I think it's going to be live. They might not have the number count yet to do a live. So if it's not live, I apologize. But once it's up, I'll share it on my community tab as well. Tuesday, I will be back again with David Zuplich on the Dark Outpost to once again go through the Yoga Sutras as well as talking about Debbie Pearl's horrific book about how to be his helpmate, how to be the perfect submissive wife, whatever. I will also be filming a round table that early that morning with David Cohen, Medina, and Catherine Edwards early, early that morning. And that is something we messed up last week because of the time change. But now we've got it all sorted. And I'm going to be up at six o'clock doing that round table with them. So hopefully I'll have that out for you guys on Tuesday. We also have the first installment of the Magdalen Manuscript dropping this Tuesday as well. And then for the rest of the week, as I said, it will be pre-filmed videos that are going to drop. And then when I get back from my travels, I will return back to filming my regular programs. Oh, I also wanted to give you guys a head up. One of the pre-filmed videos that I'm going to be actually filming today to be released next week, I'm filming with Stephanie. It's going to be a follow up to the DOSHA video that I released with Catherine last week. If you missed the DOSHA episode that I filmed with Catherine during Copy Chat, I will link that down in the description box as well. And I had so many people have follow up questions and follow up comments. So I thought I would do a part two with Stephanie because Stephanie has actually been embarking on the DOSHA diet and working with her DOSHAs as of recently. It's been new for her. And so I thought that would be interesting to have her come on and talk about her experience. I do want to, again, say, with the DOSHAs. I had some people comment that they were tried DOSHA. So therefore they were balanced. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't ever think you're balanced because no human being is balanced. That's the whole point of being human is that we ebb and we flow. If you're tried DOSHA that typically means you're probably going to have a little bit more work to do because you're going to have to balance all three DOSHAs, where for me as a Vata Pitta, I just have to really hone in on the Kappa energy to balance my Vata. So it's actually less work for me than maybe someone who has tried DOSHA. Because now we have to figure out the balance between the three of them. And so if that is something that's confusing you, just let me know again down in the description box below. Hopefully I can answer some of those questions again for you guys. Once more, as far as the Ayurvedic diet and the DOSHA diet, I would 100% suggest that you guys find a clinic in your area. I had someone comment that they didn't think there were any Ayurvedic clinics in Canada. Yes, there are a ton of Ayurvedic clinics in Canada. You just Google it. Even you don't even have to go to DuckDuckGo. Just put it in Google. Ayurvedic clinic, my area. And you're going to probably see a handful of clinics pop up. If you're in a small, small, small town might be less likely, but just search for the nearest city to see where you have the Ayurvedic clinic. And as I said with Catherine, I think I said it with Catherine, is as far as the Ayurvedic doctors are concerned, you can go and interview all of them and see which one you feel like you're going to work the best with. It's not just a cookie cutter type of practice, this Ayurvedic eating. So go and try them all out and see which one works the best for you. But I would 100% suggest that if you are really interested in embarking on eating for your dosha, please find a practitioner to help you with this because it gets complicated. It's easy, but it's also complicated at the same time. And the Ayurvedic practitioner is going to ask you a lot of questions about your lifestyle and about you as a person, not just your eating habits. They're going to look into your eyes. They're going to look at your tongue. They're going to take your pulse. They're going to do a bunch of other things to really figure out and hone in on what your specific disposition is energetically. And what you might find is foods that you thought were healthy for you because someone told you they were actually not healthy for you at all. And that Ayurvedic practitioner is going to be the one that's going to be able to have the education and the information to help you really, really embark on your new way of eating and your new health. All right, guys, with that being said, I hope you all have a wonderful, wonderful Easter weekend coming up. If that is something you celebrate. I think there are a lot of schools that are on break right now. So I hope that you are enjoying your time with your family. Please be safe. Love each other. Keep your head held high and know that the best is truly yet to come.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have to talk about day two of Summer Heat. EA dropped a madness. We wanted to know, is EA going to continue the hype that we saw from day one of Summer Heat? They absolutely did with the content that came out on day two. I'm going to have to just go look at this loading screen again, just to even remember all the content that we got today. Crazy amounts of hype today on FIFA Ultimate Team with pack supply SBCs, with upgrade packs, with the prime icon upgrade, which is changing this market. And of course, the Summer Heat fan vote, including Mr. Ryan Kent, the rat himself, is definitely going to be winning this vote. And we're going to be seeing a Ryan Kent SBC on Saturday. So they said earlier today when they put the vote out that they were going to be releasing that SBC on Saturday. So there's a two day wait time, just like in the years past with the footies vote. So basically, again, this just confirms to me, I think this promo Summer Heat is taking over for the footies promo. That is what I'm feeling. That is what I'm sensing right now in FIFA Ultimate Team. So just to go over the content that we got today, because seriously, we're going to talk about the market. We're going to talk about everything that happened today. There's tons to talk about because EA dropped a madness, again, a masterclass, madness, whatever you want to call it. Today, we got the 81 plus upgrade double, which has been giving out really good cards, 82 to 88, which has been giving out good cards. And then the prime icon upgrade as well, which the biggest W for this is that this is actually decently affordable 88 rated squad with one tots team in the week or moments player 55 chemistry is not that much either people went hard on these SBCs today, just like all the other times throughout the year this year, when they put out an icon upgrade pack, people go hard and that was no different today. So what happens when an SBC like this comes out, right? I tweeted today at 6pm UK, when I saw this SBC, I said RIP market because you're not going to see the direct effects of all of this today. Yes, you did see some prices go down. You know, some cards that I had first hand experience today, that people sold because what happens is when you have an SBC like this, especially at this stage of the game, people are, wow, this card, this card actually rebounded back up a decent amount 370. This card earlier today was 330,000 coins. He went from 390 to 330,340 and is now back up to 370. That's what happened with a lot of cards like right now, some cards are rising back up from a lot of the panic that happened around 6pm UK today, because people see an SBC like that, they have no coins, they have to go sell cards to go do the SBC and then they also go panic sell their icons and then you see stuff start to rebound and you see stuff start to come back up later in the nighttime. But again, the major thing that I'm going to get across to you guys today and the major point that I want to have is a lot of coins were lost on the FIFA Ultimate Team transfer market today. Millions and millions of coins were lost because I see so many people on Twitter tweeting out that they're doing not just one, not just two prime icon upgrades, but they're doing three, they're doing four, five, six. Some people have done like 10 plus of these SBCs because of all the fodder that they have in their club and this is perfectly timed by EA Sports with all the other summer heat SBCs that are coming to drain all the fodder out of people's clubs now, but they have to go out and spend more coins for the SBCs coming later. So, you know, GGs to EA on the perfect timing of this SBC to try to clear out people's clubs. So, this is up for five weeks. There's no real hurry in doing this prime icon upgrade SBC, right? Of course, it's fun to hit a few right out the bat and to try a few out and to hit one. I did one tonight. Who did I get? I got somebody that wasn't good. I don't even, I got prime Maca Lele, who I already have the moments version on tradable, but people are hammering this SBC and it showed today. If you were a person that invested in SBC fodder, especially on the higher tier, right? A lot of these Tots cards that were like 80 through like 90s and up rated, these guys boomed today. Like Redecky is 72,000 coins. I don't know how cheap this guy was before, but I don't think he was as cheap. Yeah, he was 40,000 coins while he was in packs, started rising up this past week and was even like 61K today. And now he's 80,000 coins. So if you bought any of these high rated Tots cards, they really, really, really started to boom and they really, really exploded today because of the Tots requirement for one and then just the high rated requirement for that SBC that you needed as well. So that's why you saw a lot of the fodder market push up today. Even 84s and 85s are up just because people have so many high rated cards that they're turning in 84s and 85s into that 88 rated squad because they have 94 rated team of the season cards and stuff like that. So the major takeaway though from this today, from this SBC is that the market is going to, the market lost a lot of coins today and the market is going to continue to be losing coins with this SBC out and that is going to make the crash and the sell off for this weekend. It's going to make it pretty severe. I think we're going to see a very severe, weak and weak sell off crash on all these cards, whether it's a mid tier card or whether it's a high tier card like this headliner name or a lot of people are asking, when do I want to buy this card? Honestly, if you're, if you want to buy any of the special cards that are impacts right now, the longer that you wait, seriously is going to be the better because there's going to be a massive drop off this weekend and there's still impacts for another basically two weeks that they're going to continue to drop in this market. They're just going to continue to go down. That's how I envision basically everything this weekend. So if you've got cards that are still up in price that you want to take the coins for, you want to take the coins and get liquid or you just want to have some coins to work with, I would take the coins on some stuff this weekend, even team of the season cards, right? Even some team of the season cards because people lost a lot of coins today and they're going to want to have coins to be doing the other SBCs that are going to be coming this week. I mean, think about it, we got the Ryan Kent SBC basically confirmed today because of the, the vote that was put out, like the Ryan Kent SBC is going to be coming on Saturday, right? How much is that SBC going to cost? EA can make that SBC cost whatever they want to and people are going to go out and do it, right? People are going to go out, do that SBC, it's going to be probably a little bit expensive and everybody's going to do it, right? But we're going to still continue to get cards and SBCs and, you know, continually get like the, what else did they say was going to happen during this promo? Like, let me find the, let me find the official promo page and look at this really quick, the other SBCs that they were going to put out, right? Summer Heat fan favorites, a selection of popular foot favorites are coming back, will be released at the new previous SBC and objective special versions, now with boosted stats. So the selected Summer Heat favorites can be SBCs and special items. So let's say they would re-release some sort of SBC, I don't know, I'm trying to think of an example. Let's say they re-release SBC like Bastion's Feinsteiger from way earlier in the year, that's just maybe not the most hype example, but that's an example and they boost them from an 88 rated card to like a 94. Like that's the type of SBC we could see. That would hype a lot of people up. Again, so much of this promo is based around SBCs and the need for you in your club to have SBC fodder. So EA is trying to supply the market with some tradeable packs and trying to, you know, supply some of this fodder on the market so that it's just not going extinct. They did release a tradeable SBC today and of course Marquis matchups and Marquis moments they put out tradeable packs for. So I would continue to expect to see both our SBCs like this come out that are tradeable pack rewards. And I would honestly, if I were you guys, if they're not too expensive to do, I would take the chance on all of these daily SBCs because a Prime Electrum players pack with the ability that you have to pack multiple special cards in one pack and make profit from an SBC even a 25k pack. I would definitely go out and do it because even right now, like we might have to, we might have to make this a thing during summer heat. Like we just go and open a 7.5k pack during every video because I did two of them last video and I got two special cards, right? Because this method of like sitting here and opening packs is honestly profitable sometimes. Not this time it looks like, but there's so many special cards that have been re-released back in the packs. You can honestly grind like a 5k and 7.5k pack method. And a lot of times you can actually make coins, which is crazy what that is, what it is. So again, what do I expect to happen today? It's Friday, right? This is normally the hype day where we see a lot of stuff happening on the market like a promo team coming out. Some people have mentioned to me, do I think we're going to see a promo team today in packs? I don't think we're going to see a promo team today in packs. That would be crazy if they did. EA has said nothing of the sorts in their, like this page here about summer heat. They've said nothing about a team coming into packs. So I don't expect it. I don't think it's going to happen. But you know, I do expect EA to drop some sort of content today, whether that is another SBC. Maybe they're going to do a summer showdown this weekend because it doesn't really give us a time for when this is going to start. But they said that each week will highlight one real world football match. So that would make me think that at some point in the next few days, we would see a summer showdown item this weekend, which again is SBC related. So again, if EA wants to run lighting rounds, that'd be they've never run lighting rounds for best of re releases. But I think that people in the game would open packs right now with, with FIFA points. Honestly, I think they would just because of all the special cards that are in packs and because of the just the ability that you have to, you know, make coins from opening packs. If you guys are on the game right now, when you want to grind the menus, either grind the upgrade SBCs or league SBCs for the tradable packs, because I opened, I opened like 60 packs tonight from a guy that had opened that had saved up a bunch of the SBC packs. And I mean, we packed Tevez who is actually not even selling at 90 K. I figured out we packed Valencia and just the opportunity for you to pack a lot of special cards is just, is just through the roof. Like it's just crazy through the roof and the potential is there for a lot of that stuff. So if you want to grind tradable packs, like this is your perfect time to do it. Like league SBCs, all that sort of stuff, the Libertadores, the sued, the sued, what is it, the conmeable sued lit sued method or whatever it's called. That method right now is probably really, really solid. Because a lot of those cards are getting packed a bunch in these packs that people are opening. So they're getting supplied at the same time as they have demand. As we have a nice little capture challenge here to solve or EA sports, let's see if we can get this solved pretty quick. That's a two button pusher point nine seconds. Hey, your boys pretty fast at the capture challenges, boys are just saying, just saying, but yeah, today is the start of week and leave. Like we really don't know what else is going to happen today. I would expect again, maybe it's a showdown SBC. The first one would come today. But I want to talk about this market a little more and maybe you guys have players or maybe you're trying to make some coins, right? I actually made a really solid amount of coins today. I sold this block as a Thursday flip before the icon SBC came out today. 527 K for this, I bought them for 440. I bought this for 230. I actually sold them kind of in the panic today around the content drop. Both of these guys sold for weak and the rewards. I bought these guys in the low 300s. Could have held out for more profit. But this is the move this I bought all these Bruno Fernandez is today. And I want to talk to you guys about this, because this is a point that we had earlier on a FIFA this year. And I really, really learned from it in like the October, November stages of FIFA 20 that I think we can learn from at this time of the year with this promo, especially on the weekend, all right, on the weekend. So what I did today was I went out and I bought 15 Bruno Fernandez because I saw that his graph, and I'll look this one up specifically for you guys, because this Bruno Fernandez card is in packs right now as a special card in packs. And I saw his graph take a big time dive today with all the the tradable pack supply that we got. So you can see Bruno was a 250,000 coin card on both consoles before he was rereleased. He went back down to 120, 114 rebounded back up before awards got hit with rewards went down to 110 went back up to 120. And then he got hit again today, he got hit again, around the 6pm timeframe, 6, 7pm, because of the tradable pack supply and just all the focus was on icons people were selling cards and stuff like that. So basically what I saw here was an opportunity to buy in and this happened with a lot of special cards today. A lot of special cards got low because people panic sold their teams and stuff they had to go do the prime icon SBCs. And now they have to go buy the teams back for Weekend League, which starts today. So that's why you saw a bounce back. So I went out and bought 15 of these Bruno Fernandez right around 100,000 coins and I could have bought even more. And now he's back up to 125, almost 100 and pushing 130,000 coins because this is a pretty, pretty rare card and I'm getting a lot of sales here right around the 120,000 coin range. So I still got a couple left, but that was a move that I made today. And why I why I'm making that reference to earlier in this year, because I don't know if you guys remember this or not, but so many times this is why FIFA 20 is the year of supply on the market. So many times earlier this year, FIFA was releasing these pack supply SBCs, which was flooding the market with supply from like six to eight PM UK time after the content drop. And then the market was rebounding four or five, six hours later into the nighttime. And it was almost like a thing you could do once or twice a week where EA would release this SBC meta popular cards that people wanted for their teams would just kind of like they'd start here, they take a dip and they'd come right back up. It was just crazy to see that kind of movement on the market. And that is what I'm learning and seeing here with these cards. It's only going to work after a rewards Thursday, Friday, or possibly Saturday, probably just a Thursday or Friday. But going ahead in the next couple weeks of this summer heat promo, if it's a Thursday or Friday, and there's a lot of panic around the six PM content drop, watch for panic selling on meta popular cards, especially if they're out of packs, right? You saw me look at Hakimi, you saw me look at Lala. This Lala card, the right back, was getting undercut today at like 330, 340,000 coins. And he's actually, I think now he's back up to like 370 or 380, I think is where this card is at. So we rebounded from 340 to 370, which is a nice rebound. You had tons of cards that had market movements like this today. Again, the up Makano that I was looking at, I like this guy from day one, because of all the fraud, the French links that were to be had with the new men coming out and with the endombole SBC, which a lot of people did. This guy was 315K on Wednesday. He was 390 this morning, where I had my cards listed, they didn't sell, he was 390. He went back down to 330, 340 during all the panic today. And now he's back up to 370. So there are people that are buying buying these cards back for Weekend League because of the new Weekend League rewards that are out. There's still hype and still people grinding this game, especially this weekend for sure. Or today, if there's panic around 6pm today, watch cards like that again, go through even some of these cards that are impacts had crazy fluctuations today. Like Ribbery went down a bunch and now he's kind of popped back up. Headliner Neymar did some of that same thing. There was just a lot of panic and when there is panic caused on the market, that is basically caused by people selling cards and teams that they need to get for coins. And then they have to go buy back some sort of team, right? So that's why you did see a rebound on a lot of cards today as well. But again, I still have to give EA a major thumbs up for the content from today. Big time thumbs up for sure. This 81 plus double is out for 10 days in total and so is the 82 to 88. So we've got stuff to do on the menus for the next couple weeks. I'm still going to be trading and making some coins as I can on the side because we have to fund the icon pack, the upgrade pack and the SBC addiction that this promo is going to continue to feed into. I got to finish David Silva here really soon. I got to finish a double A because I'm going to play in this weekend in the squad. So I got to do all of that stuff ASAP as soon as I can so we can get this stuff sorted as we can keep the club moving. And we're going to have a lot of fun in this next couple of weeks on the live streams and on the YouTube channel. Lots of fun with these packs. Lots of fun with these cards and all the summer heat content that EA does continue to roll out. So again, watch for some market movements today. If you see some panic, the opportunity to flip cards and make some coins on the market will be there. But I would probably expect another SBC related thing today and some tradable packs by EA in some way, shape or form. That's what I feel would come today as content on even 20 ultimate team. Thursday was a crazy hype day. Let's see if they can back it up three days in a row of crazy hype content would be pretty insane. I feel like today is kind of has to be a little bit of a step back like for Friday, a little bit of a step back from how hype Wednesday and Thursday were. But we'll see what EA has up their sleeve for today. If you enjoy this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel. If you're new, it's been Nate, the foot accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.
