Welcome to the web show, 18 seconds, make sure you stay past 18 seconds, if you do you will be better than 40% of people who watch the show. We are going to get straight into the interview. We don't want to hold things up, we've only got 18 seconds. Best of week. Melody Anderson, how could we not have Melody on the show, she's the one of the most beautiful, wonderful lady. Lovely, lovely lady, she was nothing but helpful to us through the whole flash process.  Yes, I absolutely adore her. We wanted to break up the flash interviews a little bit, so if you saw Sam's interview, this is a nice complimentary to do that. Card above for Sam's, but why not let's get straight into the... We only got 18 seconds to grab you people's attention, so let's do it. Melody Anderson everybody. So the lovely Melody Anderson, one of the most wonderful, beautiful people we met on the life after flash journey. Thank you for joining me on the web show. How are you? Well, I'm terrific in these crazy times of COVID and it's so great to see you again and continue the wonderful thoughts and memories of Flash Gordon. Yes, so Flash Gordon, of course, we have to talk about. How are you feeling with, you know, 40th anniversary this year? We've got the re-releases coming out. You had all these world tours planned with Sam. Where are they at at the moment? Unfortunately, with COVID, everything's on hold because it has to all be on hold. Just because of travel restrictions and safety, and I am over the age of 23, so I... You're done looking. I'm vulnerable. So we've had to put them on hold. Sam has talked to some of the promoters about coming out next year to Europe. And by God willing, by then we have a vaccine. So it's everything's on hold like it is for everybody. I mean, this is the one thing that's unifying the world. You know, we are all in danger with this thing, till they have a vaccine. So nothing happening this year and we'll see how next year goes and if it is going, we'll make it a makeup year. You have probably done hundreds, if not thousands of interviews and talked about Flash Gordon. Is there anything that you've never been asked before about the film or a story that you have never told? Sort of with the story of the movie, the wildness and how I got the job. It was out of the blue. They already had somebody else. I was called the last minute and I had to leave that Friday afternoon to go to London. Totally unprepared. That's a common thing that people do know that it was quite last minute, but I'm not sure that many people would know that there was actually someone cast for the role. And so you really were stepping into someone else's shoes. I had auditioned for the role and I didn't get it. I was just beginning my career, so I was always on to what's the next thing. And a wonderful friend of mine, beautiful model named Dale Hadden, I initially had been cast and due to whatever factors, you know, it's always those secrets and any kind of set. It didn't work and they needed to shoot, start shooting in a couple of days. And it was that fast that they needed to get someone over there. I guess I was number two, kind of like the cavalry coming up from behind. And I immediately got there. They called me in New York. I flew out that night and it was, I think it was like August, September, so I didn't have any winter clothes with me. Everything was back in LA and I flew in there. They there was no rest for the wicked. They took me right to Shepperton Studios, dyed my hair brown, shaved the front of my head, put on costumes at a screen test. And I started working the next day. So it was, you know, I hadn't really studied the scripts since I'd auditioned months and months before. Brian Gilles had told a brilliant story about Dino when we interviewed him for Life After Flash that he really was like arriving on set with suitcases of money and he had a tension with him. Was he really that intimidating when he was on set with you?  And I was, you know, all this was happening at the same time. And I was there by myself and very overwhelming. I think it was only like 22, 23 when it happened, you know, he said, man, you shouldn't cry. You shouldn't cry. I just think you're not. So I felt comfortable expressing my feelings around him. But, you know, he was a man who had a vision and he stuck to it. And even his vision for Flash Gordon was not that it was supposed to be the wonderful comic book piece. It was supposed to be much, much more dark like Star Wars because it's Star Wars have been such a success. And I think that's one of the things that makes us so long lasting. I've always said that Flash Gordon is like the, the Wizard of Oz of our generation because it just keeps being passed on to generation to generation. And the colors and the sets and the magic and the goofiness and the double entendres, it's much more complex in a way than Star Wars was. And of course, we had such wonderful performances from everybody. It bit over the top, but played straight because that's the only way comedy ever works, you know. Sadly, we lost Max von Sydow earlier this year. And I was very, you know, I really would have loved to have met him and interviewed him. And he was such an incredible actor. And how will you remember him? Just remember his graciousness and his steadiness. You know, he was so unbelievably talented that I didn't have to work too hard to act with him.  So it was just to be able to act with Max von Sydow. He was one of my my heroes. I love Bergman and he was one of my acting heroes. And to be in the same space as this this honored actor and extremely talented actor. And he was gracious. And Sam talks about this, too, that, you know, the camera is on you when you're talking. And then it turns around to the other actor so they can make edits. Usually when you're finished, a lot of people will put on their street clothes or something. Max would be standing there right across from me in these heavy, intense costumes. So this is real for me to help me give a real authentic performance as well. I mean, that that kind of graciousness is hard to find these days.  What were some of the films that you grew up with that's your Flash Gordon? Well, ironically, one of them certainly was The Wizard of Oz. I loved I love the magic. I love the technicolors.  Like, I wasn't a Snow White fan, but I love the happy ones. Like, they had wonderful outcomes for everybody and everybody was good at the end. And there was not a lot of suffering. As long as Toto didn't get hurt, I was into that movie. Did you ever have a teenage crush? Even in adulthood, I am attracted to men who may not be exactly the George Clooney's of this world. But there's something about their energy, there's an intelligence.  I don't know if you ever remember, there was a TV series called Mission Impossible.   But I would have to say as a young girl. And to this day, God rest his soul, I have always been in love and wanted to date Robert Mitchum. He was the love of my life. More than any, more than Bogart, more than any of Robert Mitchum. And there weren't really many in those Teen Beach movies. All the guys in kind of puny and I had no interest in that. But Robert Mitchum. Was there anyone that you always wanted to work with but never had the chance? Well, first of all, I wanted to work with Fellini.  And ironically, the set designer and the costume designer, Danilo Donati, had worked for Fellini. And I think that's one of the things that also added to the magic of Flash Gordon was that he was just he had this wild vision and he'd be floating around in these amazing costumes, which in fact, if anybody is interested, you look at the sets on Dune, another one that Dino produced. And they're exactly the same interior as was Ming's palace when he walked in all those red walls and things and some of the costumes repeated themselves. Just a touch when you were talking about Danilo Donati, did you know that they that Danilo was working on Flash when you audition for the role or you hadn't you didn't know anything about the film? I have no idea. And and one of there were so many exciting things doing the movie. And in the back room, the costume room, there were like, I don't know, thirty five little Italian women's sewing beads on one at a time. It was a magical room. And he just would flip it and he'd say he'd look and he'd speak to the people of Italian and because he didn't speak English. And it was just it was like you're with a wonderful magician. That's what I'm going to call him. He was a wonderful magician. He would just take a piece of fabric and create something so brilliant out of it. Did you spend a lot of your downtime still being on set, watching them film, exploring the costume department or the props department? Or did you tend to keep to yourself and maybe rehearse and and prepare? Yeah, because I sort of came in without a lot of prep time. I did a lot of rehearsing and I did a lot of sleeping because we were working six day weeks, about 12 hours a day. Sam, of course, was in almost every scene. So he was really exhausted. But I was to they were long, long, long days. So I would just rest and rehearse, try to get some exercise. And it was a pretty relentless schedule. Yeah, I can imagine. What was the total shoot time? We started shooting, I think, in middle end of August. And then we took a week off for Christmas and then started again from January until the end of February. And of course, you know, you know, being in England in an airplane hangar, it was cold and damp and we had these very skimpy little costumes. And maybe my scenes of total would be sort of hanging up there on these things for the for the cycle and they'd all break for tea while these fans were going. It was it was cold. It was really cold. So it was physically and time wise, a very long, pretty hard, steady shoot. Yeah. Would you say of all the the projects that you worked on, was that the most challenging then? I think that one of the most challenging things about it was just coming in at the last minute with no prep time, because fortunately, almost everything else, I had time to prep and maybe work with a coach and do my own work and and and be more aware of, you know, a character that I was creating. Fortunately, you know, had given me some of the comic books in the comic book. Steele Arden was always just going, Oh, no.  So again, God bless my colleges. He was pretty open to me coming up with things that would have me participate in fights where I might not have before. And responding like a woman who was a travel agent, I could just take care of herself wherever she went. I love that because you do so many movies. You know, it's the woman needs saving.  I like it even with me. You know, when he says he would marry me and I say, I do not. And that wasn't in the original line. So yeah, I wanted to keep some of her some of her feistiness and her individuality alive throughout the show. So aside from Flash Gordon, what would you say you're most proud of with with your work? I'm most proud of the movie I did with Jeff Goldblum about a wonderful American in comic called Ernie Kovacs. And it was called Between the Laughter and I played his second wife, Edie Adams. Fortunately, I got to meet Edie. In fact, I wore one of her dresses in the movie of the week. It was a time in Ernie Kovacs life when his wife, who was very mentally ill, had taken away his two children and he couldn't find them. So it's Edie and and Ernie's courtship coming together, but also going through this very, very difficult time with the abduction of his two children. And of course, Justin is a superb actor and we had a wonderful director, Lamont Johnson, and the story itself was pretty powerful. So I would say that would be the second one. Absolutely. You also played quite an iconic Marilyn, I was going to say Marilyn Manson, not Marilyn Manson. No, I don't have the same skin color. How do you prepare for such an iconic role?  And so I watched a lot of films on her. I listened a lot to her recordings and then I would use my own tape recorder to get the voice as similar as I could get it to Maryland's and again, wonderful costume, wonderful director and actors. She was such a tragic woman.  And she was sort of knew the way to get herself around with sexually.  I think she used guys. I think they used her. And so there really wasn't anyone looking out for Marilyn throughout her life. And I liked it because it left questionable. Is this woman who has all these things going on quite right? Someone who actually and she certainly had attempted to the side, but die the way she did because there's a lot of things that don't make sense. I like that mystery because we really don't will never know the truth about her. Did you feel a pressure when you knew that you were going to portray such an iconic figure? Yes, a piece of cake. I was worried. Are you kidding me? Oh, my God, because I knew the critics would be ruthless, absolutely ruthless. And on top of it, the American critics would be absolutely ruthless because it was kind of a darker side of the Kennedy family. And they certainly are one of the great families of America, but a lot of darkness in there. I knew it would be a hard time. I knew it would be a really, really hard time just because of that. Fortunately, my reviews of the work I did in playing Marilyn were pretty complimentary. But then they got into this thing about why are we talking about Robert Kennedy having this honorable man, having sex with Marilyn Roll as a movie? And I will never forget I was at Universal. These huge press conferences in a big auditorium and they'd have all the press come and they have them come and ask the talent and the directors. About whatever project they were trying to promote. And so I'm sitting there and I'm listening to some guys say, how could you do a movie like this? And I said, and I just started to see the tenor of the of the press turning against us because they were all defending, you know, why would we do this to the Kennedys, right? And I said, doesn't anybody want to know like how I got like my boobs so big and what it was like to dye my hair? Can we can we go back to really what this is about? Which is Marilyn Monroe and the portrayal of that and her her tragic, really, really tragic life. And she was operating with some pretty high level people across the board, including the mafia, you know, as they say, who knows what happened? It was tough. I was supposed to actually be on a very famous American morning talk show about it. And one of the female co-hosts was through marriage related to the family. And she she nixed me. Yeah. And after that, it was interesting because when that came to an end, I mean, I worked so hard and I think I did a pretty good job. I worked so hard and I thought, you know, what is this business? You work so hard. You have to keep starting over and over again all the time after your project, no matter how good it is, the critics can make or break your movie or the studio as in the flash born, it wasn't that promoted in America. Like, what am I doing this for? And I was getting older and I decided that I wanted to make a change in my life because it wasn't it wasn't rewarding anymore. It really wasn't. And and so I made a few few minor changes. But changes that you still work as in your life today, though. Yeah, I went back and got my master's at NYU and got my master's in social work and continue to do family studies and trauma studies, had a practice in New York and worked at Hazeldon. My specialty is trauma and families affected by addiction and people who are troubled by addiction and I I love it to this day. I continue doing it. I have a private practice and also work at a fabulous place called Friendly House, which is not for profit for women only. And it is so rewarding.  You know, it's not the Danila Donati magic, but it's the magic of watching the human soul find peace. And that's a pretty amazing way, you know, if this covid thing got me tomorrow, I do feel like I've had a good life. Amazingly rewarding career and life you've had knowing that you help people on a daily basis. Absolutely. And really, you know, we don't we're therapists, you know, we don't know what knows the human soul, not even the person who's caring it. And finding these fascinating stories of how people survive such horrendous circumstances and become productive and helping them on that journey. It's kind of like, at least I feel as a therapist. I'm here to remove the obstacles so you can find your path of ease and peace as much as you can for your own own success in life. In a way, it's like being a priest because it's a real sacred honor to watch somebody get to that aha and find belief to some of their earlier stories they've had to live throughout their life. And you know that you can help people realize that there's always a way to make a change. Even when there is a minor change, it still recognizes something positive they weren't doing before. And the other thing about this career because you know, show business is sort of youth based is I can get really gray and old and be in a wheelchair and put on 20 pounds. And people think the older I get, the smarter I am. So it actually rewards aging where show business doesn't do that. If you could go back to your former self and give yourself one piece of advice, what would you say? Well, I say this to many actors and people want to know in the business. Thank God you got your bachelor's degree because once I had that, if and when the work would come to an end, I could go on and do more graduate degrees and create a new life for myself. And, you know, also because it's in our form of artistic expression, especially for actors, they're not acting all the time. Sometimes you go, you know, six, eight months a year without working.   How about dinner? Then you come back to your home and you vacuuming and making your own meals. The glamour is gone and it doesn't stick around. So at the end, I started to paint, which has been one of my great pleasures. And that really filled up those lulls in the career and things got quiet. And you're an incredible painter. I was just blown away by your work. Thank you very much. Yes, I love it. I love it a lot. I hope as I get older, I have more time to do it. Well, it's been such a delight to talk to you, as always. And thank you so much for giving me your time. And I can't wait to come back to the state so we can have that dinner that I've been promising you. Well, thank you so much, Lisa. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Now, we did feature a longer form piece on this, but it seems a real shame to not show it here. Bob's B Cave a few weeks ago, he showed this incredible bit where he actually bought the original headdress that Melody wore in Plash Gorge. So we crashed this down to the shortest possible thing and go. This Melody Anderson, AKA Dale Arden's Slave Girl headdress. When I got it, it was really distorted from age. It's made out of some sort of leather composite material. And over the years, this headdress, like slowly started to shrink and turn into kind of like a claw. I slowly over a couple of days decided that I was going to try to get it back into shape. Essentially, I carefully hit it with a heat gun a couple of times, just on low to see if it would flatten out and slowly massaging it because it's super fragile over days and days. I was able to get it to lay flat just like in the film. Even during filming, the studio lights were so hot that like all her TRs would start to melt and warp. This is a very interesting scene because this headpiece, they were all made of leather and some plaster that glued things on. At the beginning of this movie, you'll see how upright it is. And you can watch as we get further along because the leather starts to slowly bend forward and you can actually see. Now, that's not me. I mean, you think it's me, but I didn't have those roles. Then I have them now. I don't have them then.  I told you, you can see the timing of the movie. Oh, look at that. That is me. That is not a stunt double. Look at how brave I am. But my headpiece keeps melting over my head. Obviously, the first thing that shows up here is just the insane amount of beadwork, I don't know how many hours this would have taken. So I'm guessing anything with this amount of labor involved was just the hero single prop. Another really cool piece of this detail that you would never see in the film is this little bracket that actually attached to Melody Anderson's head that has fake daylardon hair wrapped all around it. I think it just goes on like this. Wow, it's big. It's like and it's a little heavy. Yeah, so there you go. So that's it. That is the episode. Pretty good. It's speeded through that one, didn't we? Record time. So last week, if you missed Mark Miller's interview card, but if you did catch it, you would have seen that we had a competition for you to win a side life after Flash DVD. And to win, you had to answer the following. That question was what would your superhero name be and what would that superhero power be? We had some really funny ones here, but the one that won was an absolute belter. Yeah. You just we just knew straight away as we started reading, we thought this is the winner. So I thought I'd give it. It's quite, you know, it's not too long, but I thought I'd give it a bit of dramatic reading. So competition winner, Paul Trundle, DVD man, that's the superhero, a once desirable and in demand superhero who's fallen on hard times due to the emergence of another hero on the scene, the Blu-ray. DVD man forgotten, literally left on the shelf and with his life in a permanent pause mode until one fateful day, Blu-ray goes missing. The world is thrown into disarray by a new order called the 18 second arseholes coaxed out of his case like shell by his close friend Captain VHS. DVD man is told it's time to play again. After an epic battle where DVD man uses its powers to control time going backwards and forwards, we will skip to the final chapter when the 18 are defeated. They learn to like and even subscribe to the finer things in life. Life after returns to normal. Blu-ray is back in 4k glory and an upgrade break. DVD man is once again a thing of the past, spotted occasionally in charity shops and walking amongst the public unrecognised. And also in my garden where I hang them up to stop birds coming. However, there remains a memento of the glorious past in the form of the signatures of another hero who once saved the universe and a director who is helping to keep the dream alive. The ball. It's a great answer, brilliantly written. You really do deserve this prize, Paul. So well done. Yes. And if you heard that and don't understand a single thing about it, watch last week's episode and it all makes sense. Yeah. So congratulations, Paul. Don't have a copy to show you, but if you were to last week's, you'll see a signed copy of life after flash. It is a DVD. Hope you have a DVD player. If you need to scare birds from your garden, I found that hanging them on a bit of string on a stick as they turn, the glint stops them landing so or you could put in and enjoy the film in glorious, I think 1024 by 576. I think it's 725 by 576. No, no, no, it's no. It's pretty 890. 640. 640. It is 640. Anyway, thanks again for watching. Hope you're part of that 2 percent and watch to the very end. And we will be the 2 percent heroes we call them. And we will be back, I guess, next week. Have a good week.


This study demonstrated that using tensor deep features, DFs, combined with appropriate machine learning methods improved survival prediction accuracy over conventional DFs, conventional and tensor radio mic features, and end-to-end convolutional neural network, CNN, frameworks. The tensor DF approach was found to be superior to conventional DFs, tensor radioomics, and CNN frameworks for predicting patient outcomes.

I volunteer not only to change my life but to inspire change in the lives of the veterans and the individuals in my community. I strive to be an example for my generation by demonstrating that giving back, you receive so much more in return and who more important to give back to than the veterans. I would encourage the youth to come and volunteer at the hospital so that they can have the opportunity to learn from the veterans and the medical professionals here at the hospital. I would also have the opportunity to go to different departments of the hospital and learn different things, different medical terminology and also being able to help the veterans and enrich their lives and their time here at the VA so that they can have a warm feeling from the volunteers, letting them know that we are here for them to benefit their lives. My future plans are to graduate from Winthrop University with an exercise science degree with aspirations of becoming a physician assistant, hopefully to be able to work in a local VA hospital to continue to give back to the veterans in my community as well.


In this presentation, we will take a look at multiple choice questions related to payroll. First question. Which has 24 pay periods in a year? A, weekly, B, bi-weekly, C, semi-monthly, and D, semi-weekly. So, which has 24 pay periods in a year? We'll go through the process of elimination. We're talking about the types of pay periods. Remember, if we are paying employees, we could pay them typically, weekly, monthly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly. And so, we're going to go through, which of those then would be 24 pay periods in a year? So, we get 24 paychecks in essence, or we're paying, or the employer, we're paying 24 paychecks. So, if we think go through these, one, weekly, are there 24 pay periods if we pay every week? It should be more than that. We should, and you should just know, weekly means 52, because there's 52 weeks. So, we got to just, that's one of those payroll type numbers that we need to know that may be not known by most folks. But for payroll people, she'd probably know 52 weeks about in a year. B says bi-weekly, and C says semi-monthly. That's really where the problem is, because those both sound similar, very similar. And then D, rather than saying monthly, which is the other payroll period, says semi-weekly, which isn't really a thing normally. That's not like normal. So, we're going to say that D is probably not it. It's probably going to be between B and C. So, question one more time, or once again, will be, which has 24 pay periods in a year? Is it bi-weekly or semi-monthly? And the way to think about this, typically, for the way I would think about it, which is clearly the best way, would be that, I mean, if we're saying semi-monthly, there's 12 months in a year. And if we pay 15 and the 30 is on the 15th and the 30th every month, that's two times a month. So, 12 times two would be 24. And so, that would be the 24. As opposed to, if we pay every other week, then it's not necessarily two pay periods in a month. It's paid every other week, which would be better thought of as 52 weeks in a year. That's why it's important to know that number, divided by two, because we get paid every two weeks, which is 26. So, this is different between 26 and 24. Semi-monthly, then, the correct answer is 24, as opposed to bi-weekly, the wrong answer, which is 26 pay periods. Next question, which has 12 pay periods in a year? A, weekly, B, bi-weekly, C, semi-monthly, D, monthly. So, we'll go through this again, which has 12 pay periods in a year? Now, this one is pretty straightforward, unless we didn't understand the question. Like, if we don't know what a pay period is, or something like that, I mean, what we're saying is which of these would result in us paying payroll, giving paychecks out to the employees, or doing it electronically, or however we do it, 12 times a year. Would it be weekly? There's 52 weeks in a year, so that would be, that doesn't sound right, bi-weekly. Even if we don't really understand bi-weekly or semi-monthly, you know, there's more than 12 of them if we get, if we pay every other week, or if we pay twice a month. So, that seems, 12 seems awfully low. So, monthly clearly is, is the answer here, because there's 12 months in a year, and if we pay monthly, then there would be 12 pay periods. Therefore, the correct answer, which has 12 pay periods in a year? D, monthly. End simulation, end the simulation!


So welcome to vlogtober day four. I feel like this is like groundhog day or something.   Just like it was like the flu. Like everything was leaving my body. I don't know what's going on, but I'm feeling a whole lot better now. I just took a shower. It's around dinner time because I've just been like slothing around all day. Well, I thought the dog was coming downstairs. Anyways, but I figured I would... Oh, there he comes. There he comes. Just hanging out. But I figured I would talk to you guys while I am making some dinner because I'm starving because there's like nothing in the body. I've got my water. So I'm gonna drink some of that and I'm gonna make a potato because that sounds good. Going to make a sweet potato and I have one of these like microwave potato bags I picked up at the grocery store a while back. So we'll make this thing. Apparently you're supposed to wet it and then put it in the little bag and then microwave it. So I don't know. I mean, it works pretty slick though. Anyway, I'm supposed to do like four minutes at a time or something. So I just do four minutes, check it and see. That one's pretty thick, like pretty dense. So I might have to do it twice. I don't really know. So hopefully the audio isn't that bad with the noise from the microwave that's like legit right there. But let's catch up for today. So fun fact, at 2 56 a.m. Central Standard Time, my Instagram got hacked, which was interesting. So obviously I was sick. So I didn't actually check any social media until about six or so. And then I was like, why can't I log in? Like this is so weird. And someone in Russia, apparently, because it was a Russian email. For some reason, Instagram let them change all of the information, like the username. So like favorite daughter Emily wasn't favorite daughter Emily anymore. It was a totally different name. And let them change over the email account, which isn't my public email. It's like my private email account. I don't know. It's just very, very, it was very strange. So anyway, got that handle. But it took me till well, I was kind of in and out of being sick. So it took me till about what noon one, something like that to actually get it all handled, which it's fine now. Thankfully, it'll stay fine. But yeah, and then I went in there and then like, they didn't do anything. Like they didn't, I don't know. I think who did it, but it's like, there's like legit nothing scandalous in my DMs or anything. Like I am just not that person that writes nasty things or talks about people or like, I just, I don't do that because it's not worth my time to do that. If I, I don't know, it just is strange. So a lot of times these hackers want to go in there and like expose you for something. And I'm like, expose me for what? Like planner stickers and random halls and just like pictures of my dog? Like whoo. I don't know. So anyway, but it all got handled. So that's good. Any other updates of what's going on? Probably not too much. There's not a lot happening in my life right now, but in the same regard, I feel like I'm so busy and it's like completely overwhelming.  It just, it's kind of crazy because I've got the new job, which now I've missed two days of work, but I mean, what do you do if you've got, if you've got the flu or flu-like symptoms, like you don't go in. Like I'm sorry, you just don't get anybody else sick. And before I worked for a really, really small company where I probably could have mustered through it, but now I'm sharing office space with several people, one of which is very, very pregnant. And I ain't going to do that. Like I have to work very closely in teams with people. So that's just like not going to fly. And then I've got all the work for my old job that I'm still currently working at. So I'm like still doing all the social media, managing the inbox and helping out the new gal, which I talked to quite a bit today, like via text message. So that's fine, but it's just a lot. And then the YouTube stuff, which is fitting because I'm wearing my YouTube shirt or pajamas tonight. But yeah, it's just, oh, sorry. All right, just check the potato. It needs about another four minutes. Leighette, what was I trying to say? Yeah, it's just like overwhelming. It's overwhelming, even though you guys watch my plan with me's, which I know are super boring right now because I don't have much going on besides I'm just like literally working all the time. I don't have, I feel like I don't have space for me anymore. And that's like my own fault because I really like to work. But then when I put myself in this position, I can't do it all. So anyway, I'm going to take a long, hard look at some things and keep you guys informed. But um, but yeah, like it's just, it's just a lot. It's just a lot. But I think with my potato, I'm going to have a tomato because tomato potato kind of rhymes, right? Plate.  And I'm like, good to go. And my favorite tomatoes are the vine on tomatoes because I feel like they ripen up really nicely at home and they just stay fresher longer, I feel like. So I don't know. And I just slice them and eat them. That's, that's the name of the game over here. I actually had a friend named Kim. Well, she's still my friend, I guess. We just don't see each other every day like we used to because we used to work together.  And I was always so confused.  So every once in a while, she'll send me a comment or whatever on Facebook and like, Hey, by the way, I ate a tomato today. Kim style. I'm like, Oh, thanks. So then I have that visual in my head. And I think she actually liked hers with sugar, if I remember right, maybe not. Can't remember. It's been so long since like Kim and I work together. We actually used to work at a tuxedo company together, random fact, back in all my retail days. All right. So I have all my tomatoes. I take a little bit of my sea salt right here with loot and a grinder all up. Just kind of get a little bit on every slice. And then I just eat it with a fork because I'm that weirdo. I'm going to give the potato a few minutes because it's hot. But I have my little concoction here. And this is what I like to put on my sweet potato is it's like a little concoction, as you can kind of see. I don't want to waste any. This is a mixture. I don't know what the ratio is. It's just kind of like whatever makes it look this color. I don't know. It's stevia and then cinnamon. And I put that on my sweet potato with just a little bit of margarine. If I'm feeling it, sometimes I just do this, but I don't know. It's so good that I just can't not, you know what I'm saying? And separate plate because food can't touch. And tomatoes are really, really juicy. So no, thank you. So today I am going to use a little bit of margarine because there's only a little bit left in here. Why not? A little dollop? Well, got a puppy like right here because he loves sweet potatoes. But I never give him any of the sweet potato that actually has any of the like seasoning on it. So like the stevia or cinnamon because I don't know if that's good for dogs. It probably isn't. So I try to give him little bites that don't have that on there anymore. But he loves that stuff. So anyway, here is my sweet potato deliciousness yum yum yum. So I'm going to wait for that to cool off. But today, okay, so it's only like 6 30 right now. But I think this is going to be it for the vlog. I just wanted to kind of catch up with you guys tell you what's going on or not going on in the case and give you an update today. I got a lot of private messages from you guys asking if I had changed my profile name with Instagram and all that debacle. So I think I responded back to most everybody. But I didn't want to like publicize it on Instagram because satisfaction and all that. But anyway, I guess if they watch these videos, which I'm sure they don't, they'll know because I think I'm going to title this hacked because that's actually what happened is I got hacked today. And by the way, I've never been hacked before. So that's just kind of very strange. So but let's look at Doyle really quickly because you know Doyle challenge and all. Hi buddy. What are you doing? What are you doing? He knows the potato is like right over there, like up there. So he's into it. Smell the smells.  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's into the smells.  So anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the little chitchity chat vlog and um, let's see, this is going to go up on Thursday, right? Yeah, because today's Wednesday, Thursday. If you guys want a laundry day Q and A, let me know in the comments below and if you do have questions, just put them down below. Um, super informal. I might do a post on Facebook too or something like that. Um, if you guys seem to be into it, but it would be something when I would actually get home from work, which would be like late, like 530 or something like that. So anyways, uh, if you guys want a laundry Q and A, let me know and if you have questions, put them in the comments and I will get to them on Friday if I've got enough response. So anyway, hope you guys are having a great day and I will talk to you all in the next video. Bye guys.

Hit up the description for any extra goodies that you want, anything that you were thinking about, it's all down there. I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. Let's get into these questions. Now this first question, you already knew it was coming. You already knew it was on the way. As soon as you saw that the Shawn Jackson got cut from the Eagles. Anyway, it came from Kants. I know I said that name wrong, but hey, it's still all love on this end, baby. Please don't be mad. He said, do you think the Ravens will sign the, and look at the wording, listen to the wording for this question. Do you think the Ravens will sign the Shawn Jackson?  See, that's that Ravens criteria, man. When it comes to them signing a veteran, that's the criteria. The Shawn Jackson fits that criteria. That's what the Ravens look for. But I actually do think they may take a look, but I don't know. I don't, with the Shawn Jackson, like one of my guys, Chris, he just messaged me earlier talking about, oh yeah, well, the Shawn Jackson, he said he hoped EDC makes that move. Because the Shawn Jackson and Hollywood Brown, you could have all this speed on the field and defenses wouldn't know what to do. Lamar could take the top off a defense all the time. All the time. And again, they both bring that element that you just can't teach, that they both certainly got this speed, speed. But I don't think the Ravens should sign them. Because what I wanted the Ravens to do last year was to build a track team. Build a track team to build an indefensible offense. Remember that? Yeah, Pepperidge Farm remembers. Anyway, this indefensible offense that we were supposed to build last year, I don't know what happened to it, but speed to me, I think it will make such a big difference. But what makes the biggest difference in an offense is how you use your weapons. And Ravens do not have a great track record, even recently up until last year of really using their weapons. And it's not only just not using their weapons, it's not using their weapons properly. So with the Shawn Jackson, while I wouldn't mind the Ravens signing him, I just know I don't even think that they should. I don't think that they should. Again, what I think the Ravens need to do is get that guy that Lamar can have some trust in, big trust in, to throw the 55th. I know my guy, Nitro, made a good point yesterday in the video. He said, well, with Miles Boykin, that's not a fair assessment of Miles Boykin that he's not a 50-50 guy because Lamar Jackson doesn't throw the 50-50 ball to him. And I understand where my guy was coming from, but at the same time, you could tell that that trust is not there. It's not there. As a court, if you don't trust your receiver, it's not there. You're not going to give him those opportunities because if you give him opportunities in other situations and he lets you down and you lose that trust in other situations, then in a tighter situation like that, you ain't going to trust him. So I'm still hoping that that trust can be built up in this offseason. But I don't I keep hoping and I keep waiting. I'm going to keep hoping and keep waiting now. But in the meantime, Ravens need to get a guy that's already established. That's already been there, done that. And that's the scary thing, though.  That's what I want them to do. But history goes against that. It goes against that. And I just I will I would love for these all these guys to take another step forward. But again, I'm just I would just be working no matter who we bring in. I'm going to have that worry about how are they going to be used? What's going to be the lack of their use? Because I think about all these guys that are already there. Justice Hill think my guy Harry brought up a good point about how the Ravens don't even know how to use Justice Hill. He just been there. His special teams guy. But even though you got your running back to that. So I don't expect Justice Hill to get a bunch of carries because I do not. I did not like when they were trying to give carries to this, that and third. Like literally Ingram Dobbins and Gus Edwards. But with with Justice Hill, you could have him come in. You could do some little screen passes to him, a swing passes to him. You could even line him up like I said yesterday and you line him up and receive a little bit like an inner slot, not an outside receiver, obviously. But just give him some opportunities here and there. They did try and make it return. But I know you can't have everybody on the field at the same time. And you can't necessarily use everybody. But even guys who are high up on the depth chart in Justice Hill. Again, Devin Duvenay, I hate saying that. But again, Jetsweep King, Jetsweep King, you brought what you would you bring in there's Brian for to watch to watch the game? Did you owe somebody a favor? And again, that there was some opportunities where Lamar missed him now, too. What's the opportunities with that? Well, the brand will be open and Lamar will be over here. There's Brian will be over there and Lamar wouldn't even see him. So some of that was on Lamar, too. But there's Brian, he really overall, he wasn't on the field too much. He wasn't.  When he got in shape, that he's been the guy already. He's been that guy before and he's he was that dog at receiver. And he just it was barely on the field. Now, I know a lot of that had to do with money, too, because with with the dads, Brian, he you're not paying him much money. You weren't paying him much money. He came in in the middle of the season. None of his contract was guaranteed. So it ain't like he was making big bucks for your team. So so that that with that, that's a scary situation. Or I mean, it ended up the results. You could tell what the results were based off of the situation because Ravens didn't have any pressure to use him. They have any obligation of theirs, Brian, because it had he been a high draft pick, there would be that pressure or had they been paying him the big bucks, there would be that pressure, but there were neither of the two. So with the dads, Brian, with him not being used, it's like, OK, no big deal, no big deal. That ain't hurting us. So he's an extra. He came on in the middle of the season. He even he even started a show. He's an extra. So with with the Sean Jackson, I like to say me, I wouldn't mind. And it would be such a Ravens move. It would be such a Ravens move to bring on the Sean Jackson. Such a Ravens move. But I would just be worried. And I just that's not the type of receiver that I think we need. We need that guy, man. That jump ball guy, again, the 50 50 guy. That's going to really go and get it. That's really going to go. And like, that's really going to be aggressive for that ball. That's going to snatch it out of the air. That's what we need. Now, the Sean Jackson. He's a different type of receiver from that. He's not a bad receiver, but he's a different type of receiver from that. And but we got not that we couldn't have more deep that receivers besides Hollywood, but you get the Devon Duvenay, too. Hello, hello. Duvenay got some speed. He's fast and he got good hands. But Ravens have failed to use that.  You know, they would turn Deshaun Jackson into the Prince or they make they make the Prince take the king's crown for jet sweeps. So it's it's like if they brought him in, I think it'll be doomsday for Duvenay. I think it'll be a wrap because what Deshaun, I mean, now Duvenay is built. Different than the Sean Jackson. Duvenay is like a running back playing wide receiver. But I just I don't think that would be what we need. And I do not think it would be the best fit for the Ravens at the wide receiver position. But yeah, we just need that aggressive guy, man. Even we need a guy that's so aggressive and really got that dog and that's going to fight for Lamar. That's going to fight for Lamar when Lamar is on point. And that's going to fight for Lamar, even when Lamar is not on point. We need that guy that's going to fight, not a guy that's going to give up. If a ball's out of place, we don't need a guy that's just going to be like, man, oh, well, OK. Cornerbacker get it. No, we need a dude that's going to put it all out there. Every play, not take plays off, not slack. And what I mean when I say put it out there, every play and fight for like again, when the when the ball's put on point, the guy, he doesn't wait for it. Like a punt return or something. Oh, let me wait till the ball get unless he's wide open. I could see that. But if it's a if it's a corner in the area, he's not waiting for the ball. Let me wait till the ball gets here. Let me wait till it drops down. OK, here it comes. OK, come on, ball. Come on, get it. No, we need a guy that when that ball is coming, move out the way. I'm taking this. I'm getting it. That's mine. This is not. Talk to the cornerback. Excuse me, Mr. Cornerback. This ball is not for you. This is mine. Give me that. Thank you. You know what? Not even give me that. I'll take that. That's what we need. We need that because far too many times we've seen it over the years, over the past three years. There's been quite a bit of receivers ever since the Mars rookie season. There's been some receivers that we've had and not a rookie season.  But there have been some receivers who, if the ball wasn't put in the perfect spot, they weren't going to put their body out there for it. They weren't going to stretch out for it. They weren't going to reach out for it. We've seen that. We've seen it from John Brown. We've seen it early on this season. We saw it from Hollywood, but he changed all that toward the end of the season. But the thing, again, with Hollywood, I think the biggest problem with him is his concentration on the catches. Because I think with Hollywood primetime jet, I think he tries to use that primetime jet and he tries to make that jet take off and make a primetime play before he focuses on catching the ball. That's why I think he has so many drops. And a lot of times I will see him catch like with his chest instead of catching with his hands. He has hands, but he would just try to catch with his chest too much. With Boykin, I've seen times when it's just like it seemed like Boykin would just be like, ah, no, I ain't really feeling this. Even if a ball, if a ball is like if it's not on point, like, what was it? I think the Titans get we just see that lack of aggression.  You you are six foot four.  This is why I'm still hoping that Boykin really turns that corner, man. And I know a lot of it is about opportunity, too. But when you do get the opportunities, I'm waiting for him to turn that corner. If if a ball is not on point, taking offensive pass interference call. That's what I wish I would see. You six foot four ain't no cornerback going to be as tall as you. Ain't no Brandon Brown is still out there. You ain't going up against Richard Sherman. No, ain't no cornerbacks going to be as tall as you. So are you being six for if you see that a ball? And I really think this goes for any receiver, in my opinion. If there's a ball that's just out of place, just out of place. This happened with Devin Duvenay on that in the Titans regular season game. But if it's a ball that's just out of place, push the corner back out. Don't let the cornerback catch it. And I know there's a lot of bang, bang plays. It's like football moves fast. It moves super fast, but push the corner back out the way. Don't let him catch it. Push him, pull him, move him from out out of the ball's trajectory. So he doesn't pick it off. We just need more aggression at the wide receiver position. So while the Sean Jackson, I'd be cool. No, he doesn't need to be the guy that the Raven sign. And I know this this is a it goes to all of our minds. Not just in this, not just Ravens fans. I know some of y'all think, oh, man, Ravens fans, they want to sign everybody. It happens in every fan base. When a player gets cut, then every fan base of every team, they always think, how would that guy fit in with our team? It happens to everybody. But of course, a lot of y'all on here think it's just Ravens fans because we talk about Ravens so frequently, but that's fine. But yeah, the Sean Jackson, she's cool. I like him again. And like my guy said, he's past his prime. He's 34. Is he really 34? Well, if he is, wow, that makes me feel even older. Oh, that's crazy. But I would say, yeah, no. Next question came from my guy, Tristan, and this is something that's been heavily debated amongst the Ravens community for a while now with a lot of people having a lot of different answers on this. But anyway, he said, you're engraving the last three years. I've been wondering this. How come the Ravens don't have Lamar Jackson called Artables? I see all these quarterbacks coming up to the line before the play and calling out the defense and changing the play. For example, Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady Brees. Well, those are some powerful examples right there. He said they all do it. But when Lamar comes up to the line, he says his regular cadence and doesn't make any Artables, especially when Lamar has said that teams are calling out the plays at the line of scrimmage. So my question to you is, do you think the Ravens should incorporate Artables in the offense? Of course. Of course. Um, one thing with the Ravens offense that makes it hard for them to change the play. And now there are there are some plays where because I'm not I'm not a thousand percent clear on this, whether Lamar calls Artables or not. Um, but I know there are plays where Lamar has options, but a lot of those options are either to run or to pass the ball on the RPOs, obviously. But anyway, I am one thing that makes it very hard for the Ravens to change the play at the line of scrimmage is something that's been a problem all year long last year. And what that was was that they would be getting to the line of scrimmage. They send this guy in motion. They send that guy in motion. They send this guy in motion. And then they snap the ball when there's like two seconds left on the clock. And that does nobody any favors. Why? Because you don't if you're reading the defense, you don't really have time to change anything. You got time to change anything because you're doing all this pre snap, all this motion and stuff. And you and then by the time you snap the ball, you only got two seconds left. So if you're changing anything from what you were originally doing, that took long enough. So by the time if you see something that you don't like, you only got two seconds left. And you ain't about to change the play in two seconds. So it's just I don't know, man. It's like there's some simple things. Ha, there's some simple things with this offense. And we've been talking about that. Literally, we talked about that all year long last year, this past season. We talked about it all year. Like, man, what they taking so and they would do it all the time. Except when they had the more uptempo offense. Remember that? Remember that uptempo offense that worked so well in those couple of games that they use it? Then they would just be like, oh, we don't want that. Oh, throw that uptempo offense in the trash. And I'm not saying you have to go uptempo all the time 24 seven. Because if you do that, it can backfire on you. Because if you go in three and out, then those some quick three announced and your defense could get tired. But it's just this offense, man.  Anyway, he also said also whose fault do you think it is that we haven't already been having Lamar Jackson called Articles? Appreciate your time and keep up the good work from Tristan. Appreciate it, Tristan. I think it's Lamar Jackson's fault. Um, the reason I say it's Lamar Jackson's fault because, hey, sometimes if if there's a needed change and you see a needed change, you can voice your displeasure behind closed doors only for so long until you just got to let the world know. And I think that's exactly what happened with Lamar Jackson and Greg Roman, where Lamar Jackson told Rich Eisen, hey. They calling out our stuff, bro. They know everything we're doing, man. So I think this was something that may have been said privately before publicly. We see what Hollywood, hey, about the soldiers was the point of having the soldiers if you ain't going to use them. I'm sure that that that wasn't just a random tweet that's out of nowhere. I'm sure that was built up frustration. There's Brian, there's Brian. I'm sure it's his brand being there's Brian that we know. I'm sure he's had several words with Greg Roman. I'm not saying I know this for sure, but just based off his personality, I'm sure he's had several words with Greg Roman and hey, I can do this. I can do that. Hey, you see what I'm doing here? I can do. Hey, how about me? And again, I know receivers, they receive as a selfish because they all about me. That's why I always tell my son, Carter, I said, man, if you was in the NFL, if you played football, you should be a receiver because when we be playing Mario, when we play Mario, so when we play Super Smash Brothers, when we play Super Mario 3D world and we play any games together. And we on the same team, Carter made me do all the work and he'd be chilling. He'd be keeping his lives.  I said, man, you need to go be a receiver somewhere. But anyway, shout out to Carter with there's Bryant and with with those guys. I'm sure they it was a private matter first before it became public. So with Lamar Jackson, not that you need to go voice it to the public, but you need to do it in the game, take charge of it in the game. Greg Roman called something and that you and you don't like it. You don't like what you're seeing from the defense. Speak up, speak up to your offense right then and right there. Say, hey, this is what we're doing. This is what we're going to do. So that's on Lamar and also on the coaching staff. So on the coaching staff, too, that that needs to be something that's incorporated into his game if it isn't already for sure. So real good question, Tris. The last question, I know it was only three questions on this episode, but the last question on this episode of questions from subscribers came from my guy, Chris, and he said, love the content of your show. And it is refreshing here in the Ravens fan that is willing to think and hear people out. I appreciate that, man. See, that's that's what timing is everything. We were just saying that at the beginning of this video, that that is what this is all about. But I appreciate that, man. I was wondering your thoughts on this with recent news about Von Miller. I think a perfect and he put perfect in all caps. I think a perfect offseason for the Ravens would be number one, signed Von Miller or Ryan Kerrigan and Hassan Riddick. That's been a name that's been floating around a lot recently. Hassan Riddick has been a name that's been floating around a lot. Whole lot, fast, fast, well, outside linebacker. Anyway, and he said, then on cheaper, team-friendly deals. Uh-oh, you know, these cheaper, cheaper, team-friendly deals. Anyway, he said Tyus, re-signed Tyus Bowser, G-Hod Ward and maybe Pernil McPhee for Vet Minimum. I wouldn't be mad at that at all. All three of those I wouldn't be mad at. Now, G-Hod Ward and Pernil McPhee, I think those are the ones you can definitely get for a great value. Shout out to Walmart, by the way. This video is not sponsored by Walmart at all. We definitely made it that big. Anyway, those are definitely great value deals.   They are low-key names. Now, of course, it's still people watching them, and they're going to have a little bit of something, but Ravens would be a great bet for them. And I think those guys could provide some very good value to provide that, speaking of G-Hod Ward and Pernil McPhee, to provide that interior and exterior pass rush. And I do think Ravens are going to be changing that style of rushing the pass of this season. So I think Yankees is going, I think Judon is going as well. But anyway, with Bowser, because you just can't have all your outside linebackers just leave like that, Bowser is one that's very tricky because, you know, he's going to win. And he said he wants to come back, but, you know, they all say that. They all say that, but, you know, he's going to want to see what that money is. So I am the closer we get to it, the less and less I think Bowser comes back. I would like him to. Hey, we were just talking about Mario, and we over here talking about Bowser now. Again, shout out to Carter. But anyway, I would like for him to come back, but I just the closer we get to free agency, the less and less I see it happening. The less and less I see it happening because he's an up-and-coming guy. And while he's not this household name, anything like that, somebody's going to be able to offer him more than the Ravens will, for sure. No doubts about that. So we'll see what happens with Bowser. He said that would give, oh, but as far as the other one, Von Miller and Ryan Kepp. Von Miller, I would like. I don't think it happens, but I would like Proving Past Russia, a guy that drops back too. But Proving, like definitely Proving Past Russia. And whoever is opposite of him, now he is coming off of injury. But no, I mean, we got a good history with former Broncos Past Russia. Anyway, do with Von Miller. I would like that. I don't think it's going to happen, but I would like it with the money. That's the tricky part. How much is he going to get paid? Kerrigan is a name that's been floating around since last year. Defensive and outside linebacker type of guy. Helps at the edge. Will Washington football team, will they let him go? Is he even a free agent? I don't think he is, but I'm not 100% sure. Cause I haven't heard anything whatsoever about Ryan Kerrigan. That's been a name that, been in a lot of Ravens fans' minds ever since, before the trade block last year. A lot of people was thinking Ryan Kerrigan. He said that would give the Ravens a young finisher in Riddick. And then a balanced veteran who was great at finishing on the other side. Oh yeah, you did say, Ryan Kerrigan and Hassan Riddick. So signed either Miller in Riddick or Kerrigan in Riddick.   Shout out to you. Don't forget about the offense though. He did say, so that would give the Ravens a young finisher in Riddick and then a balanced veteran who was great at finishing on the other side. Biggest issue with the Ravens recent pass rush is their inability to finish. Yes. Yes. One of my guys, he called Yanik and Gokwe the best almost guy in the NFL. The best almost getting the sad guy in the NFL. That's what he was. He'll be so close so many times, but they just wouldn't finish. And he said, after locking up the pass rush Ravens can then use the draft to be ultra aggressive. They really only have one gap on the line and it is at the center position. Not at right tackle? Well, not yet. I think they have plenty of viable options at Guard and Orlando Brown Jr. will be replaced by Tyree Phillips who will revert back to his natural position at right tackle. That is an option that I haven't been thinking about. Tyree Phillips at right tackle if Orlando Brown Jr. is shipped off. I haven't thought about that at all. We know he struggled there this year, but he also didn't have an off season. So, hopefully with a, I can't say a more normal off season, but it's definitely gonna be a lot more normal than it was last year because they've already been through a year with this pandemic. So, they know the expectations are a lot different now. They know what to expect. They know how to handle it a lot better now. So, they should have an off season this year. So, that should help a lot. So, hopefully that'll have Tyree Phillips doing a lot better. I believe he was drafted as an insurance policy for Brown all along and the cost has just made proactive moves. I never thought about that either. That's interesting. Hey, why? Because in the 2018 draft with Lamar and Mark Andrews and with Orlando Brown Jr. Yeah, because you already had Ronnie Stanley. And I remember Orlando Brown's rookie year. I had been saying, oh, I've said it in so many videos from jump. I said, he needs to be starting that right tackle. What are you doing? They kept having, I think, James Hurst there. I forgot who they had there, but starter got hurt. Orlando Brown Jr. came in. Never looked back. Anyway, he said, yeah, I believe he was drafted as an insurance policy all along for Orlando Brown Jr. Let me know how you envision this season going down. Stay safe. Stay healthy. In 2021, the black and purple will finally hit their stride. Thanks. They appreciate that, man. That was a fun one. So, yeah, we'll see. Oh, he brought us some interesting points. I like it. I like it a lot, especially that one about Orlando Brown Jr., Tyree Phillips. Oh, you just never know. You never know. Tyree Phillips, that could be it. They could do that. That is a big possibility. They also drafted the guy. I just think they have questions at center, at right guard, and at right tackle. I just think from the middle to the right side of the offensive line, it's just, that's all question walks right now. Especially once Orlando Brown Jr. gets traded, which I do believe he will. So these were some really, really good questions. Team Keep It Clean. I love y'all. I know there's only three questions on this episode, but if we would have kept going, this thing could have ended up being like three hours long, in which I know some of y'all wouldn't mind. Some of y'all actually want like a three hour question from subscribers. And we would do a lot of questions, but anyway, I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much again for supporting. Like I said, man, I love y'all so much. Make sure you tell somebody you love them today. Make sure you tell somebody you appreciate them. Check up on your people, check up on your friends, your family, because it makes such a big difference. It makes a real big difference, because people need to know that they're loved. People need to know that you care about them. People need to know that you're thinking about them, because everybody's going through hard times. Everybody got different stuff on their mind. Everybody's facing different struggles and whatnot. So please check up on people, seriously. I love y'all team, keep it clean. Thank you for doing everything that you do. Thank you for not only supporting me, but supporting each other, being respectful to each other, and really just, I just see so much love in the comments. Even when y'all disagree with each other, I still see so much love in the comments, and that's exactly what it's about. So I thank y'all for that. I really do love y'all and appreciate you so much. All right, people, I'll see y'all next time. I love y'all. We out. We out. We out.

So you want to adjust normals for VTubin, not a problem. Now originally this tutorial was so short that I wasn't gonna cover it, but the members and patrons really voted in favor of making it in any way, so that's what we're gonna do. Now when Yuli was showing me how to do all this stuff, I thought that there was just one way to shade the face. But what I found out is that the type of shading depends on the purpose of the character. When you are making an anime character for a game or a cutscene, then the character is always moving around and the direction of light is always different. So it's important to have smooth normals from all directions. However for VTubin the character often stays put, is always facing the same direction and the light source never changes, which generally means that the face only has two possible states of shadows. It's either lit or it's not. I believe this is also how they shade the faces in Ruby. Now it looks like they use a funny flat proxy approach, but as usual Yuli has a much easier way. So here we go. Go to edit mode and turn on your normals and highlight a face near the top of the forehead that is angled forward and up. In the normal menu, go to copy vector, then highlight all the areas where the front of the head and paste vectors. You're done. Congratulations! You can now be a VTuber and your face normals will always be lit for the maximum brightness. Hope that helps and as always hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


Do we wait for D-Wed, or?  Look, pay respects here. We won't do anything. We weren't going to start. Hey, they wanted to start. I said, no way. I said, see? I created a headline right there, right? We lost against our rivals. St. Ed's beating Ignatius. Yeah, sure. Oh, that's right. I was a grader at the GCL back then. That's right. Great players come out of there, man. Yeah, Gary Jeter, that's our guy. Well, yeah, and then Villeangelo St. Joe's had all those guys come out of there. Gerbach and Howard and Clark Kellogg. Oh, yeah. Lee Kellogg played with us. I was there for him. Sorry, where's Remediesa? D-Wed and I should just get coffee some other time. I'll be right here more about this. It's more interesting than me. I can promise you that. You know when I was slimmer, yeah. Just now, you were stuck with me. Oh, that's right. Yeah, me too. I'm not tough. You were at Louisville, and they were a little good. People talk about that all the time. Yeah. Maybe not smart, but tough. I don't talk at all. How do you work on a guy with these strong passes? Like, how do you ramp that and drill that to mentally? Can that be that middle thing that just needs to get passed, or is that a physical thing that can be worked on? Yeah, I mean, again, I think in any course of any game, things happen, right, for whatever reason. I go back specifically to pass-catching, when I had the chance and opportunity, thankfully, to coach receivers in this league, and it's one where, again, it's more about the process than the result, so you go through and say, hey, fundamentally for anybody, right? We're in the right place. Eyes, hands, everything else.  You go through, and again, it's no intention for anybody to throw an incompletion, miss a block, or any of those things that happen. Again, they occur. You'd like them not to occur for every position, but you just go back and you stress the fundamentals of the position. I think that's for anything, and anything you do when there's an error. A completely different question, but when you were playing quarterback and you were getting sacked, how powerful was it when you were the ball? And how powerful was the energy for you of where maybe the defender was hitting you trying not to ball out? That's a good question. I do think, though, it goes back to the fact of it's how you train in the pocket. So during the course of the week, training camp, everything else, it's how your ball location, when someone's near you, you constantly practice bringing that ball in tighter. You're obviously aware the defense is trying to get after the football, specifically when they're around you, and maybe they can't make the sack and they're being blocked, but they try to go with the arm swipe. But the reality is you hope that your fundamentals and mechanics take over, because like at anything, when you're in position and you start thinking about things like that, you're probably losing focus on anything else down the field. So, again, it goes back to training. When you're watching film on God, as a court, again, this is more during the plaintiff, when you're watching film on God, you can say, oh, about this guy, this defender, I know if he's coming at me, I need to be even more confident that he's good at swiping the ball. Yeah, I mean, again, I'm not sure I'm the greatest playing career guy to go back to. I was really good with the clipboard there, D-Led. But to your point, when you are watching film, obviously, it's human nature to watch all the positions when you're playing quarterback.  Sometimes when you're thinking about the wrong things, it could lead to the result you don't want. But yeah, at the end of the day, I think you're aware of what's around you, but you don't want to consume you. I know. Last time I checked, you were pretty good at college. Yeah. I think you and my siblings and my kids think that. Everybody else is like, who is that guy? So I'm well aware and OK with it. Yeah. We're rehashing stuff. Look. What do you see when you and Coach are getting ready for the jazz defense over there? Yeah. So again, I'm not trying to be a broken record, but when you put that film on, you get 11 guys who are playing extremely hard. And it's not just one section of the defense. It's all levels of the defense. They do a great job of playing fast. So it's one thing to play hard and physical. No doubt about it. That's obviously, I'm sure most defensive coordinators would like their defense to play that way. But when you see the speed off the ball, how they react to things at all levels have a ton of respect for what they're putting together, what they're doing. You know, I've known I've known their head coach for when I was a player back in Houston.  I have nothing but respect for what he and their defensive staff is trying to build there and what they're putting on film is, is obviously they're doing a great job and situation of football first and second down. And they've got those guys playing at a pretty high level right now. You took a close up on the coordinator, Rush, and then Rankin's talking about he's Batman when he gets on the field. Sure. That's a global pride right there. Again, I think you can go down the list of guys through the defensive line, the linebackers and the safety and corners position, especially the nickel when they go in the sub-defense. And again, I just think it's a mindset they have over there and how they're playing. They're playing confident. You can tell that in the last week's ball game against a very good Titans team and they played them all the way through that game and they played them tough.  Is there something to have in common? You know, I've been around, you know, all different types of receivers and Titans and running backs. And I think the really good ones I've been around to the ones who don't make it for other reasons, is down to the work ethic and fundamentals. And it's a mindset. And so regardless of what position they play when they become a pass catcher, it just becomes, and that ball's in the air. It's their ball and they've worked through the week off season. It's a mindset. It doesn't mean that the ball doesn't occasionally fall on the ground. All intentions are great. But I think those guys are able to take every snap as a new one and when the ball comes and when the ball's in the air, they approach it like it's theirs. Is that a skill that you have to evaluate or can you coach it up a wide degree? I think it's part of it. If you're looking at it like an equation, part of it's an eight, sure. I think part of it's enabled by the coaches is the mindset. And then there's a third part of willing it to want to be that. And again, it's different for everyone. All guys get to different spots and all guys have different successes and they get their different ways. But usually it goes back to the fundamentals and mindset. It never entered your mind that the ball was going to fall on the ground. Yeah, sure. At the top of my head, I mean, I go back to when I was in college, it would be Deion Branch, my first couple of years in NFL, it would be Andre Johnson, teammate. And so it just, again, I'm sure I'm leaving guys out just at the top of my head. But it's just a mindset in which, you know, that ball's in the air or how they attacked it and everything else. But again, they're different sizes. Right, Andre was 6-3. Deion was 5-9. He'll probably kill me for saying that. But the reality is, you know, there's just different ways to get the job done. Yeah, I think that's fantastic. Is there any positive level of what you recognize that as you pay attention to that or do you look at it as, like, something like that? Yeah, I think, you know, each week you go into it and this is the national football league, right? So every opponent you go against has the ability to, to obviously take away the football and get to the quarterback. Each game is different. The way that teams approach different teams is different. And again, no, it's one of those where we go through the mindset of do your job. If you're throwing the football, be where you're supposed to be.  Understand what you're seeing. And again, right, once that ball leaves the quarterback's hands, again, allow that stuff is out of your control. If it gets tipped, they're not going to tip. If it gets, you know, all things that can happen when the ball's in the air. So again, no, it's more about making sure that we focus on us. Understand what the defense is trying to do, but execute the play at a high level. Just the other offense took some strides with the, I know you needed some more, but three, seven, four, and four touchdowns. So the general, yeah, sure. I mean, again, I think it was a, you look how the fourth quarter of the Giants game played out. I talked to you guys last week about it.  But again, I think it just comes back to the fact of us growing together as a staff, growing together with players, getting the best idea of how to use guys exactly the right way for they feel comfortable when they're out there. And then guys, obviously, ultimately having confidence that comes from success of doing it. And you've got a group of guys on the offensive side that really love playing with each other. You've got a bunch of coaches on the offensive side that love working with their players. And again, when you have that kind of mindset with the players and the coaches, you know, you hopefully continue to trend upward. And hopefully that's where we're going.  He comes back. What he's done since he's been back is done a great job of bringing energy and competing and practice and the individual part of it. And I know the guys in the offense line group and other guys in the offense specifically love having them back. He brings great energy. He's a veteran guy. So again, I think it's just another piece back in the puzzle and we'll see how it all shakes out. So which way you're going, whether it's Andrews or Mayfield, but just maybe take a step back to last week and kind of where do you see Jaylin and, you know, that four people. Sure. Yeah. And again, all the, all the depth, I think I'm sure Coach myth will address. But for me, what Jaylin is, you go into the fact of what he's gone up against and what he'll go against this week if he has a chance to go out there and everything else. And to me, you know, you see strides in his game. He's going against different rushers, different guys when he's in rumblocking that are using different techniques. They're not all just the same guy he's going against. And so he's learning. And again, I think when you're a rookie in this league, it's different for everyone for sure in terms of the learning curve, but there's really, it's really hard to replace experience.  And he's got the right mindset. Hopefully he continues to grow from there. That's a great question. Look, our week is basically outside of us now flying internationally here in a couple hours. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, right, has been as if it would be a normal week.  But for me personally, the way I've looked at this week, I try to keep the same routine of how I've watched the film and game plan and all those things. So to me, until we get over there, it hasn't been different. Was over there a couple of years ago in the exact same stadium, understand the environment. It's a great environment, great atmosphere, understand the logistics when you go over there too. It's a little different than here in the U.S. But it's a great opportunity for us to go over there and adapt and look at it as a great opportunity.  To me, it's more the environment and the atmosphere. It's a great stadium. The crowd was great when we played there a few years ago. They're into it and they're into it for both sides. So again, I think it's, if you haven't been over there as a player, as a coach, I think you're in for a great treat. If you've been over there, you kind of know what to expect, but it's an awesome opportunity for us to go over there and play internationally and represent the NFL. Well, you know, it's interesting for me personally because I had, you know, four months of NFL Europe experience, right? So I didn't play in London, but used to how the international crowds were at that time back in the early 2000s, and the obviously football has just grown from that standpoint. You love the passion tree. You love the fans that come out. They're energetic and from pregame all the way through, and it's just a cool environment. It's a cool experience. A lot of cowbells. I mean, again, you be at the home, you're a home team, and all of a sudden it's third down and they're screaming and you can't hear anything and you're almost using silent count here in international. But yeah, they, I will say this, the passion's real. I'm a huge international soccer fan. Parents grew up in Italy, so I was kind of forced to watch a lot of Italian soccer as a kid. But I've grown appreciation for their passion and how they approached sports over there. Oh, for Italy? Yeah, it depends who's winning. So my dad would go from Roma to Juventus to AC Milan. He grew up, my parents grew up Southern Italy, and they spent about 30 years of their life before they moved here, so there's definitely, there was an allegiance to anything south of Rome at times. So you didn't have a team that you were? No, it was Harris winning. Front running, basically. That's how I learned how to do it as a kid. Thanks guys. Appreciate it.
