Well class happy Wednesday the second to last class of the semester Like almost a half party of defeated Before the next before the fight Question Whatever it says on the page Yeah How to even begin implementing the structure for parsing a switch statement, what should you do other than read the document again? Draw that you should draw that so you should this is what I do What I suggest to the people who came in to talk to me about it on office hours is you should start with the switch statement code And then the very first thing you realize is oh the back end intermediate representation does not have switch Just like see on see you have wild statements. You have switch statements, right? But that compiles to x86 code and that does not have any switch statements or wild statements Right you have move instructions, and you have go-to instructions So part of your job on this task is Understanding not only the input, but also the back-end language. So what does it have that I confuse? Right and so there are some tricks in there, so they're not tricks But it doesn't map one to one right you are doing a translation and you are compiling from one thing to another and so The way I do this is I would start with The switch statement code then I write the corresponding code in using only the privilege we have in the other language Right so in the intermediate representation Right do it just like that and then draw the diagrams okay How should my when I see a switch statement to the node what types of nodes do I want like what is my whole thing look like? With I mean obviously you only have if statements in our intermediate representation So your switch statement is going to translate those series of this statements How do they all look compared to the code that you wrote there? I think for me doing it all by hand Makes a lot more sense and then walking through so do it by hand and then go look at me that execute method And step through it see does it as it actually going to do what you think it's going to do The question was could you even trouble with posting sharing a diagram? No, you get a problem posting code Like this is how you implement switch statements. That was the You have a diagram that's absolutely fine to share At the war everyone should be warned. You may be wrong That's just his what he says right just a diagram It's like I heard in some law schools. They'll rent the books from the library and get out pages from the book so that that way because there it's all Very much curve. So only like two a's are gonna be given out of class or Three a's and so it's in your best interest to torpedo and one else is great But we don't have that you we have but you should still be skeptical of anything you read or hear online Even if it's from me the ta's or your fellow classmates So we then finally we've been studying land of calculus we finally come to the craziest part of land of calculus So we've built up Boolean operations so we can do and or knots We have true and false values. We have branching so we can do it branches Now as we saw at the end class on Monday, so we have Boolean logic We have arithmetic so we can do mathematical operations on things that represent numbers Right, we don't have actual numbers to work with when you think about it. That's fine right the computer the CPU does not have actual numbers to work with either all the CPU has is 32 ones and zeros that we interpreted a certain number to mean a certain number Right, so very this is very similar to how we've done arithmetic, right? We create a land expression a certain way and we're saying this represents the number one of the number two So we have arithmetic so we've talked about what we need, but we're missing loops We have no way to loop Right, and we've seen this in the factorial function So we have those who don't remember the factorial function is the factorial zero is one the vectorial n is n times the vectorial Then minus one right. This is pretty much this and to the nachi or kind of the standard things we use to teach recursive functions, which is kind of silly. We don't really There's very few times you have to write a factorial function in your career But you often have to iterate over a tree data structure like you're doing in your parsing So that's more of the type of recursion So we can code this up and see and we can see that we have a factorial function that takes in an integer value n Checks if n is zero return one. This is the base case of our recursion Otherwise return n times the factorial of n minus one standard factorial. We've all know so if we assume so we define actually everything in Like a calculus that we need for this except for is zero So we have a function that takes in a number if it's zero returns true if it's not zero returns false We could write that if you wanted to We also assume we have a predecessor function so an n minus one function So it gives you n and it returns n minus one so assuming we have that we can just easily translate that factorial function into a lambda expression So we have factorial is equal to lambda n if Is zero n return one Otherwise return multiply n times factorial at the predecessor of that right with predecessors n minus one So this is a direct translation of times return n times n minus one Questions on this? Yes, it is illegal. So this is not actually a lambda expression Right we have definitions so we have a lambda we have a lambda so here we have an abstraction We have lambda n and we have if we've already defined it so we can replace this fully with the body of if We are saying we have an is zero function so we can expand that we know one here is not represent the number one it is a placeholder for the church numeral lambda expression that represents one The multiply we know we have a multiply function But now we get to this factorial function How do we expand that out right and the problem is fundamentally we can't because we're trying to use factorial in defining itself So this is a place where we'd like to use recursion and this is how we do recursion when we have function calls in When we have recursive calls in our C code right inside that and this relates to scoping rules right when a function is declared It's name is available to be used in the body of its own function So you can call factorial from factorial and that's how we get awesome recursion There's some early languages that didn't have that where you only had procedures So you could only call them call a procedure and then that procedure could not call any other procedures It could just do stuff and then return So you didn't have any recursion in there. Okay Cool So this function even though this seems so easy to write and this is really a straightforward translation of what we had in the C code to here to the lambda code right and so this to me brings up a lot of interesting questions of Do we need names of functions in order to be able to write recursive lambda functions? Right. That was kind of the point of where we're starting with lambda calculus all anonymous functions completely 100% anonymous and so I Kind of tease this. I've been teasing this really throughout the whole time. We're talking about lambda calculus So commentator. What's a commentator? Yeah, so a land expression with no three variables Cool. So there are Well, maybe you can tell because this is called the Y Combinator There are a lot of different commentators. They all have different names. Usually they're just one letter Combinators, they each do different things to be honest. I don't know all of them One of them is that ID Combinator we've seen of lambda x dot x which just returns its parameter Has anybody ever heard this term in other usage that is not lambda calculus related in this class? Yeah, so what would be here for me? Yeah, so it's a startup incubator who co-founded He is a partner of that so it was Paul Graham and Trevor Blackwell, I want to say is one of the other ones and I think Robert Tadamoros was the third person there Along with Jessica. I cannot remember her last name. Anyways, they all started originally started this company in the 90s called Violet where they were making It easy for people to have online stores and so their startup eventually got bought by Yahoo and Became Yahoo stores. It's really big platform.  We want to make it easier for other people to make startups, right? And so when they were Looking around for names they actually looked to lambda calculus and thought back on their base and actually it ties in very well Because Violet was written in Lisp. So Lisp derives a lot of its notations from lambda calculus So they named their startup incubator Y Combinator So I'm gonna leave that there for now We're gonna look at it and then we'll look back and just think why they named it that and how that kind of ties in So if any of you are thinking about doing a startup and you end up applying for Y Combinator's Program, you can tell them, you know exactly why they named this Y Combinator And then you actually understand the Y Combinator, that would be reasonable. And then when you make a lot of money You can come back to ASU and donate it to ASU So we need more Okay, so we're gonna look at the Y Combinator and then we're gonna kind of take it apart to try to see what it does I'm just gonna kind of present it here at first because it's something that is very much non-obvious It is again one of these things where You know you have to take that kind of intuition leap to come up with this and then you can see that it has the properties that you want Okay, so the Y Combinator Lambda x dot lambda y y x x y space Lambda x dot lambda y dot y x x y So what is it composed of at a high level? Yeah, so a high level is actually an application right, so each of these expressions here How many branders are they taking it? Two, so they first taking an x and then taking a y So let's step through to see what happens when we just say Why food? So we'll just try to see what this does We'll try to stay a step by step. We have this whole huge thing Right So what's the first thing that happens? So what's the first thing what what's the first thing that we do baby? Yes, what do you produce? you What was that? So how do you parse this at the very highest level we have an expression We have an expression what type is it the very top Application how many do we have well? We're parsing it. There's only to when we look at in here. How many do we have? Three so this thing different than x y food So how do we do those? The left most things happen first Right, so implicitly These things are grouped together and you may notice when you look at the y-combinator definition Right, but it's not It's not in it's not fully beta reduced Right, even just looking at it. You can see that there's a Beta reduction that you could do Right the way it is now you can replace in here the x in this body with the thing on the right But we'll see that it actually kind of makes a lot of sense for you show it in this form Even though we use it here when we say why food Right the very first thing we're gonna do is on the left that has nothing to do with food Every on board with that. So inside this body here, so we're going to replace x with this expression Do we have to worry about changing Meta variable names on the left expression No, because it's a combinator, right? There are no free variables in this expression So we are going to inside this body replace both of these free x's With this expression cool. So we have lambda y dot y Landa x the lambda y y x x y Landa x dot lambda y dot y x x y y But look When we just replace these two x's in here with this, what do we put here? Another why is that a guess? He looks surprised So we can actually even So what we have in here is another why but we'll look at that in a second Now let's substitute in food for why Right, so we have the outermost we have the application on the left we have this giant thing and on the right we have food So inside this body here, we're going to replace every free Why with food? So if we look just in this body is this why free? By removing this part Yes, this why will be free. What about this why? No, it's gonna be down here this why Down here this why Down here this why Down here this why yes, so we were placing food in two different places So we will have food This thing this thing food But we just saw what is this part? So we have white food. So we have food applied To why food? So then what would happen if we expanded this one again? We get the same thing We get food food why food and then we expand that why food again We get food food food why food and we keep doing this forever. So we've essentially created a loop here Where we can execute food an arbitrary number of times because we can just keep doing this loop If statements just like a normal recursion. We're gonna have an if statement So if it's true, we'll see we'll return something. Otherwise, we'll do Exactly, we'll do the why food again So why does this work? What is it about the structure of this y-combinator that allows this to work? Yeah, so the key thing here I think is this xx y Right. So this xx is replicating itself. It's replicating the y-combinator into this other call here and then Also passing into that whatever you originally passed into it this y and then it's also applying that result to whatever y was And then if you have to call us again, this will keep going and it will keep expanding out And it's each of these beta reductions. So it's cool here. We have basically a bit of Landocadulous a landocadulous expression that not only propagates itself Right because we've seen if we have like ID, but we have x dot xx And we apply that to itself. It's just going to keep going forever. I Think that one actually keeps expanding forever And this one will keep replicating itself and calling food Essentially applying to how many times you want Yes, the y represents this whole statement, so that's the key here is that this y can always be replaced with this Right because we're not and we don't have we will not have any circular definitions. This sounds weird This is how we're going to use it or use it like why food well We'll see exactly how we use it we'll write a function that doesn't just take it a number It takes in a number and a y-combinator and we'll see how that propagates This is just to show you what happens when we see a y-combinator with any expression on the right This is what it's going to do right this could be An abstraction and so it's going to keep applying that result So let's step through and kind of see What our factorial function now would look like so this is the function we'd want to write But we can't write this ever an agree We cannot write this we're defining factorial in terms of itself so Now in this function, we're taking in n we're taking in And is the number right which makes sense We're copying the factorial number taking one number We're even going to return and we will return you know a number in our land to calculus in our church new rules So but this new version is going to be slightly different. So what we will return is why? So we have the y-combinator that we've already seen applied to Now a function that takes in two parameters the first parameter is F Which as we'll see is going to be the y-combinator and The end is the number. So let's step through this a little bit to see kind of what happens So we define factorial like this And we have factorial of one What's going to happen? So our factorial so we have Lambda f dot lambda n dot if size zero and return one always multiply n by f predecessor of n one. Can you guys see that in the back? So And what we're going to use we're going to use basically The what the y-combinator is going to do right the y-combinator is Going to I have to make sure I actually did this right Okay, I see it is right. Thank you Okay, so we're first going to Reduce the thing on the left right and we know that it's left most here and we're going to skip what the white We're going to skip all of the y-combinator steps Right, so we're going to take this as just like before we had why foo So we're going to say this returns foo Why foo? So here we have foo. Let's see. That's right Lambda f dot lambda n dot if size zero n one multiply n f predicate of n So this is foo in this case. So here we have foo applied to why foo all that applied to one So just doing that y-combinator operation once on the right here. What do we have? So if we think sorry, there's not really right and left In this lambda expression here We have y lambda f dot lambda n dot if size zero n one multiply n f predicate of n. What is that? Factorial that is our definition of factorial right and so When we are going to substitute that in for f here We're essentially going to put f where we wanted factorial to be we're essentially putting the definition of factorial back in there So we're letting the y-combinator generate us basically a copy of our own code And we're going to kind of insert it where we wanted that call to be so let's do that So let's reduce this substitute that in for f and I'm lambda n dot if is zero n one multiply n and this part in here Is factorial factorial predecessor of n But specifically we're not using the main factorial But it is the factorial right? I mean it's exactly as we've defined it right here y lambda f dot lambda n dot lambda n if size zero n one multiply n f predicate of n. Now it's starting to get a little hairy right? We have lots of predicates and n's and f's But we can still walk through this very carefully right and see exactly what's going to happen So now it's finally start to do some calculation and let's substitute one for n right we have that as our body So now we say okay all the so let's remove this lambda n here all of the three n's in here We're going to replace them with one So that should be just this end and this end Correct because inside here this lambda n blocks all those n's All right, let's see if that's correct. Oh except for this n here. This is one stuff gets tricky, right? so now we have if is zero one one multiply one times all this Time multiply this which is food which is factorial multiply factorial of predecessor of one So we have a couple things so it's if stated so what is zero one going to return? False and now I have if and we have false so which of the two arguments is it going to return? The second one So it's going to go away, and it's going to turn multiply one by this whole thing Times the predecessor of one so we'll save you calculate. Let's see. We can get a predecessor I will do that later so multiply one times the factorial the predecessor of one So then what happens when we do this? Well, we should yeah, I don't know that's going to be more or less confusing But let's go Are we If we do the recursive first I think so well, we're still getting to the same place Yes, but without the name exactly once we get to where that statement will evaluate to true It will return one and it will get rid of the y factorial Right you'll get rid of that and that will return one and we'll finally kind of essentially you think of it as coming back up the Call chain because we've reached our base case So let's see it step through this one more time So we have why foo here again, so just like before we'll end up having foo why foo So I multiply one foo here y of foo Oh I remember why we have to do this Okay, and once again we replace this thing which y f of this is factorial So we're gonna replace f in here with factorial Which gives us the ability to call it again if we need to and now we can reduce the predecessor of one is zero Now inside here, we're gonna replace n with zero So we're saying if is zero zero return one otherwise multiply this by this and So is zero zero will return true and So of these two branches Right of these two choices. We're gonna return one Because that's the way you define true. It will always return to true branch And so we multiply one by one and we get One yes, so be n minus one is what it returns it's tricky is zero we can probably do as a class maybe but Predecessor would require a lot more Kind of death, but really you saw we did addition you saw your multiplication I don't think it's that they were stretched to believe that we can go backwards and do subtraction So I think this is the more important part is really Seeing that this crazy way that we wrote we've written this y-combinator actually allows us to have recursion So the fact that it replicates itself and the function that it wants to go to is really cool Because then we can use that ability Where we would want to make a recursive call We would have that as a parameter being passed to us and what will be passed to us is the y-combinator with ourselves So we'll end up calling ourselves questions on this Got any questions Wait, no Let's put it this way. I want you to know the behavior you should understand the behavior of the y-combinator and how it's used If I ever want you to know specifically this thing, I would give you the definition Questions on the exam pertaining to this could be multiple choice I'm a big fan of multiple questions Basic instructions is just wherever it sees that factorial replace it with So in a language so in a language like this It really it uses the syntax of land expressions. So when you look at it, it's all parentheses like this So maybe I don't think it's sensitive in there. I can maybe pull up my My e-max configuration really quickly It's in a really weird version of Yeah, that's fine. So like here. So this is an elist file So it's an elist file so you can see all the parentheses. So the syntax is very similar. So this is says like When the computer is Matt is a Mac set the Mac command key modifier to meta so it's very similar in that inside every expression so inside all the parentheses the thing on the left is Most times a function Macro Is a function and the other ones are parameters. So the differences are a so the driving desks So these are so this was the that command that I just ran so D fun is to define a function So here you're defining a function name set frame for hacking group The thing in the next list is the parameters to the function and then the body here So in most lists, you have the ability to call functions again. So there you don't usually need You don't usually need the Y Combinator. It's more like It it shows you that you don't actually need when you think about what is at the base of computations, right? What actually is necessary? It turns out in a language with only functions You don't need name functions to do recursion, right? So that in itself is a very powerful idea You would still just like you never want to program a Turing machine like write code for a Turing machine It's very important because it has that idea that you can reduce any Computation any crazy language that you write to something that can work on a Turing machine The ideas here are the really important really cool things here So now we've seen this why do you think a startup incubator of all things besides being huge nerds? Why they used what the name why they made their startup incubator Y Combinator? Yeah, because they take in startups and they can like make more startups right there a startup themselves They're trying to take any startups and make more startups, right? So it's kind of very similar vibes So I think it was a pretty cool decision on them to do that questions Okay So now we've seen we actually are we've had Boolean logic. We have arithmetic. We have loops Now we have recursion Now I will make the claim that we're turning complete So how would you show that? Or prove it? I mean, how would you prove that? Yeah, so one way to do that would be to show that you can simulate a Turing machine using lambda calculus That would show that you can go one way, right? What about the other way if you're trying to say that they're the same Yeah, you want to go backwards, right? You want to write a Turing machine that can simulate lambda calculus, and then you're showing that they're both at the same expressivity level Right, so there's no program fundamentally, there's nothing you can do on a Turing machine you can't do in lambda calculus and Because we know that the language that we program in our turn complete That means there's nothing that you can do in C or Java that you can't do on the turn on a Turing machine or using lambda calculus So that's the church I think it's the church Turing hypothesis. I should have looked at that thesis. There you go. Yeah I think that was wrong Okay, well then you guys know all these So do you guys talk about lambda calculus in 3.55? Use words like function loops Cool Yeah, so any questions on this? Okay, so what we'll do so this is actually the end of lambda calculus I'm just as surprised as you all are Actually got here very quickly. I think last semester I was like rushing over this last part on the Persian but I think that we actually went through it at enough level that Give you some of the intuition because I think those are the really important things So class wise what we'll do is on Friday. I'll use class like office hours random So come very questions. I will go over things. I would do things but it will be entirely driven by the people in the room So come with your questions. You can have major questions homework questions project by questions, whatever Happy to answer. I'll also since I mean we still have 10 minutes if you want to leave leave I will hold I can hold like a post-class office hour session for 10 minutes if you guys have questions Well, let me start Let's see tension the final it'll definitely be cumulative That's something I'm not My perspective right the point of an exam is not there's not to test you on specific things but to Improve your knowledge of the course right so if I tell you it's only going to be this that's all you study I want you to say everything and I'm gonna pick certain things if You were looking at the class closely think huh midterm three included some content from midterm two Specifically because people didn't do so good on that part So that would be something interesting to think about is I may look at the things and say people didn't do really well in this You have to look inside for that Nothing outrageous that you haven't seen the other thing I'm thinking about is I haven't There's stuff that we covered after midterm three


Hey guys, it's Julia and welcome back to my channel, and for today's video I'm going to be doing a little Q&A. And Giant's High So I announced this a long time ago. I actually planned on doing Vlogmas, but I just didn't feel like I had enough time. Like, I put a ton of prep in and I was so set on doing it, but I didn't end up doing Vlogmas in December. Besides the point, I feel like I planned so many videos for that that I asked you guys for Q&A questions a while ago, so I'm going to be answering them now. I asked on Instagram as well as Twitter, I got the most responses on Instagram. So if you guys don't follow me on Instagram or Twitter, links are down below as always if you want to be in like a future Q&A. The first question is, what book taught you the most growing up? I had so many books that I read at different points in my life. Obviously that like made me into the reader end today. What taught me the most? Probably like is that book that's called like, are you there God? It's me Margaret, because like I've read that in like sixth grade and that's when like girls are going through all the puberty kind of stuff. And that was recommended to me by my teacher and I remember like learning a lot from that and realizing a lot of things from that and connecting with it because I was at that age. So if like you're around that age, that's great. Or if you have a kid that's around that age, that's great. Another book that kind of introduced me to the YA genre was Gasped by Lisa McMahon. This book dealt with the girl who had visions and like I remember admiring her persistence and things like that. So that kind of taught me a lot in a way as well. What's your favorite candy? Um, if you guys don't know this, I am. Basically I don't eat, I don't eat that much candy because like a lot of gummies and things like that have gelatin in them. But I do have, I do really enjoy the squish gummies and there's these vegan red roses. I'll put the package up but they're delicious. I've been watching Booktube lately. I have. Right now I'm really getting back into it. If you guys have noticed I'm uploading a lot more and I'm really happy about that. But yeah, I've been uploading more and that's great. Yeah, I have been watching more Booktube. I only watch like certain people but did you start college? Um, no I haven't. I'm still in my last year of high school. I am in grade 12. I'm in grade 12. So basically I have one year left. I have actually less than one year left. I have applied to universities and things like that but I don't know if I'll get in but we'll see. So I'm not, I haven't started college yet. But yeah, I'm trying to get into a criminology program and also like a psych program as well. So that's what I'm doing. Did you ever do personal tarot readings? I have. I do them all the time for people actually. Online like I have set up this thing where like if you want me to do one and like a lot of people want me to do them online like I do have to like charge. It's not that expensive because I'm still like learning and stuff like that. But yeah, if you'd like a tarot reading just contact me on Twitter or something like that or tweet me and I can do one for you. Have you finished Harry Potter? Last time I saw you it was for a read of that or something. I have not. That's been on my TBR for like three years to finish Harry Potter. Hasn't happened yet. I don't think any of you are surprised. I have a write up to the Goblet of Fire so I need to read the next one. The question I like is do people at school know you practice Wiccan and are you treated differently and for also for YouTube? My witchcraft stuff. I don't talk about that much. Like I do talk about it online and like I do post a lot of tarot readings and stuff on my Instagram but like people don't really ask about it and I don't really bring it up. So it's like one of those things. I'm the same way with veganism which I think is another question that was asked if I'm still vegan I am. Is that does it do people treat you differently? Not really. I don't bring it up and people don't ask and last time asked about it I will answer but like I don't deliberately just bring it up. It's just like part of who I am kind of like no one really treats me differently because of it like maybe other people think of me differently that I don't like people that I don't know maybe think of me differently because of that but like I care not really. So are you doing vlogmas videos? I was going to but sorry.  Thank you. I know for a fact this question was from my boyfriend. So thanks sweetie. Your routine for long periods of reading? Um long periods of reading. I obviously have to get comfy blankets stuff like that. I can't be too comfy.  Yeah usually water is great. My tabs have to be with me stuff like that. I might do like a reading routine. I think that would be really fun. Were you born in Canada or did you move there? I am asking because I do want to go to Canada when I'm 18. I was born in Canada. So I've been to the US and I want to go back to New York City but that's besides the point. The Shining or Mr. Mercedes? How dare? I can't believe I'm asked this question. I don't have an answer. I can't. Your book besides work off or suicide? A book you're really hyped for that lay down and girl which I talked about recently. Um remember talking Jack the Ripper let me down. Just wasn't what I thought it was going to be but like the other two books are great. But yeah, that one let me know. What's your favorite sci-fi novel? Um, I don't read a lot of sci-fi. I want to get more to sci-fi but I'm reading more like young adult science science fiction as opposed to adult science fiction but right now it's like Warcross probably is like a really fun sci-fi read if you are into young adults. What are your newest booktubers that you subscribed to? I will check this. I watch a lot of people. Not really actually. Do I? I'm subscribed to like a hundred channels maybe. Is that that's not bad. I've heard people subscribe to a lot more. But my friend Jessica just started a channel. So I'm subscribed to that. I'll link her down below. All the other people I've been subscribed to for a while. Find more other like maybe other booktubers as well. But then again like yeah, I don't know. I love who I watch but you know maybe I should like you know start watching other people as well. I don't know. Anyways. What's your favorite movie? Um Drive with Ryan Gosling. The Place Beyond the Pines with Ryan Gosling. Those are like two ultimate faves. Love.  By the way, unfortunately I can't relate. What do you go on with your days? Um coffee. Not the best thing. Like sleep is so important. I can't even tell you guys. I used to have really bad insomnia. I still kind of do but it's not falling to falling asleep. That's the problem for me. It's like staying asleep for the night. I wake up a lot. I'm up during the night. I'm up at random times. I'll be up for hours stuff like that. But if you guys do struggle with insomnia again, talk to doctors about it. Melatonin is a natural supplement. Not a supplement. It's a natural product that you can buy. They're capsules and you can take them to help you fall asleep. That's definitely not the ideal. But if you're trying to like reset a sleep schedule, get over jet lag or something like that and you need help falling asleep. That's helpful. But just don't stay on it forever kind of thing. And it's not addictive. But anyways, a lot of people don't like to rely on things like that. So I just thought I'd mention it. But that's what I used to use to help me fall asleep.

Within a place called Laos, a landlocked country in the heart of the Indo-Chinese peninsula is probably one of the most confusing archaeological sites on Earth. We have often covered possible evidence left within countless newspaper archives, logged witness testimonies, and indeed many stolen bodies of a type of ancient human far larger than we are today. Additionally, there have been many intriguing ancient giant artifacts, which have been found at many sites around the world – tools, utensils, and structures. Created in such scales, they would be virtually useless in the hands of modern-sized people. And our archaeological site within Laos could perhaps be seen as one of the more compelling remnants, possibly left by this gigantic race of humans. However, what is seemingly the most perplexing mystery regarding this site is the aptly named Frogman, discovered at the center of this entire historical puzzle. Known as the Plain of Jars, it is an enormous ancient site, littered with countless giant stone jars, manufactured to such a scale, they are clearly too large for any practical use by humans of today. Numbering over 400 at just one site, the original purpose for these stone jars high up in these locations, if indeed they were manufactured by our ancient ancestors, is a question which has evaded modern explanation and may remain impossible to answer. Out of the many hundreds of jars, it would seem none were ever decorated, all remained completely blank except one single jar. A single giant jar adorned with the image of a frogman. According to academia, the jars date from the Iron Age around 500 BC, although any compelling reasoning for this remains elusive. It is undoubtedly one of the most important prehistoric sites in Southeast Asia, and it undoubtedly deserves more attention. Who carved these enormous jars? Why make them to such enormous and thus impractical sizes? Where did the stone come from? Or indeed, how were they carried to their final resting places high up on these plateaus? Were they possibly made by a race of giants? Who is our frogman character? Was this single image a signature, left by the original makers of these giant jars? Unfortunately, we may never know. Our last video covered the astonishing ancient city found in Sri Lanka, which was somehow built atop an enormous rock formation. Known as Lion's Rock, it is a testament to the ancient's capabilities and determination, and our next location is just as incredible. Known as Nan-Medal, it is an ancient site located within the middle of an ocean near to the Mariana Trench. What makes Nan-Medal so incredible is the fact that the entire city was once built upon the water, an entire series of artificial islands, canals, and fortified city limits. What's more, the entire location is built entirely from enormous blocks of basalt and coral, built using a unique set of sophisticated techniques not found anywhere else on Earth. The site's supposed original name was Saun Nan-Lang, or Reef of Heaven, and according to Gene Ashby, in his book Pongpei, An Island Argosy. The ruined city is one of today's greatest archaeological enigmas, and is sometimes actually called Atlantis, or the Eighth Wonder of the World, or even the Venice of the Pacific. According to academia, Nan-Medal was the ceremonial and political seat of the Saudalur Dynasty, which unites the islands of Pongpei's estimated 25,000 people until as recently as 1628. Set apart between the main island of Pongpei and Tenwin Island, it was a scene of human activity as early as the 1st or 2nd century AD, with the perplexing megalithic architecture apparent only beginning in 1200 AD. However, comprising of almost 100 stone and coral-built platforms, a top artificial islands separated by narrow channels, enclosed by an outer seawall, Nan-Medal is an engineering marvel. A truly mammoth undertaking that yet despite the enormity of the undertaking at such a distant time within history, there exists no records as to when, or most importantly how, Nan-Medal was ever built. Additionally, there is no evidence of any quarries on any of the nearby islands or indeed the reefs surrounding the site. Where did these enormous rocks come from? How were they transported there? And how, or indeed why, was the site constructed on top of the reef? For a technologically primitive people, apparently placed a mere 1500 years in the past to somehow have created this entire artificial floating city, made from enormous pieces of coral and basalt foundation, using techniques apparently not known prior to construction, yet somehow successfully constructing buildings that have lasted well over millennia seems a rather ridiculous and extremely unlikely premise. Additionally, to have no evidence of a quarry anywhere to be found makes the whole complex that much more confusing. The total area of the enclosure is around 75 hectares. Walls were as high as 15 meters and up to 5 meters thick. The average weight of each stone is 5 tons, with some weighing as much as 50 tons. With an estimated total weight of columnar basalt making up the city's construction at around 750,000 metric tons, Nan-Medal is undoubtedly an astonishing place. We recently covered the astonishing rock-cut structures known as Meden-Sala. The precision involved in the cutting of such a remarkable collection of buildings will not have escaped the astute-minded among us. Just how did these civilizations, two or even 3,000 years ago, manage to create such awe-inspiring structures, with the tools available at that time within known history? Just as the pyramids in Giza are attributed to the Egyptians, it is highly possible these claims of ownership were but mere inhabitations of sites far older. Many people who have investigated these rock-cut tombs have come away with a conclusion that some of the architecture is so precisely cut to recreate such straight angles would require the use of laser technology, a presumption also shared by us. It is therefore delightful when one stumbles upon something such as Al-Nazla. Located within Tamiya Oasis, also within Saudi Arabia, was this utterly perplexing stone left as a lasting signature of the tool used to create Meden-Sala? Discovered by Charles Hoover in 1883, was this amazing megalith cut in twine with a laser or indeed some form of highly advanced, highly ancient precision equipment of some form? If not, what could have created such a miraculous split so finely made and so straight within such an enormous rock? A perfect line straight through the center left perfectly balanced upon two separate bases for untold millennia. Interestingly, in 2010, the SCTH, or Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, announced the discovery of a rock near Tama with a hieroglyphic inscription of Pharaoh Ramses III upon it. Researchers have therefore hypothesized that Tama was a part of an important land route between the Red Sea coast of the Arabian Peninsula and the Nile Valley. Was Al-Nazla, along with Meden-Sala constructed by the same individuals as the Great Pyramids of Giza? Furthermore, archaeologists have discovered cuneiform inscriptions possibly dating from the 6th century BC, pertaining to a legendary ancient civilization known as Oasis City. Mentioned within the Old Testament, it was said to have been a highly developed civilization with complex buildings and an advanced knowledge of waterworks. The oldest mention of Oasis City appears as Tiamat in Assyrian inscriptions, dating as far back as the 8th century BC. Were these mysterious people the culprits? With such precisely made rock-cut structures found within the same landscape, structures that many have reluctantly concluded display evidence of advanced stone-cutting technology, we find the existence of Al-Nazla highly compelling.


Hello everybody and welcome to today's vlog a lot of things going on as of late So it's time to give you fishing breaks and update a couple of things that'll really stand out to you right now The tackle cave here at the LFD household has gotten a lot more expansive and that is because My tackle gave has combined with dad's tackle cave a lot of other stuff going on in here as well And that is because me and OSG are moving in with the parents. Oh, yeah, I don't know if any y'all have been there Tensions can get high, but we figured while we're looking for a home we'll save some money and It's always fun hanging out with that lefty and mom OSG is in there doing a Recipe situation right now. We'll check in with her in just a minute. However, we still have the blue black No, I can't even talk right now We still have the blue back and I went through the comments and since there were so many comments Hey, you go fish it or pass that down I think what I'm going to do is I am gonna do a video on this But we'll still give it away. I think now that the springtime is coming up I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and Plastic bite is gonna be kicking off. We'll do a video with this the throwback plastic We'll do a throwback plastic video to see if those things still work Maybe even go around since I'm here back in my hometown moving back to my hometown Go back to some of the same places. I used to fish this stuff. See if it still works I don't know. We'll do something creative with that and then we'll give it away Well, please everybody me and LFD are getting ready to go To common Darrow now if y'all don't remember the videos with me and the rest of the Gugitswa down at common Darrow It was it's a bass factory. It is a Mondo factory the best place I've ever fished for big bass Just consistent Mondos Mondos Mondos just everywhere you cast big fish are around you got to be ready at all times I thought it was so amazing I told my dad about it and I went ahead and I booked him a trip again with with Ron speeds fishing adventure So it's gonna be my second time going down. It is going to be my dad's first time going down And of course you guys are gonna come along with me with the camera lens I think my dad is going to freak out when he gets down there his PB bass is eight eight You guys have seen it. That's Billy is in my normally in my office He caught his PB with me a couple of springs ago. It was also an 8-8. It tied his PB So hopefully we'll be able to break that. I'm not exactly setting big goals for this trip at this moment I am hoping to break my PB bass on top water. I've heard the top water by it is pretty outstanding right now So super jazzed up should be a totally different bite than what you guys saw before With me and the rest of the guys so we're gearing up right now for doing a whole plethora of other things Hey there, where's the lefty? Oh, he might be trying out his rods. I never mind. He's playing with sticks Yeah, he's not actually testing out his fly rods is what I was gonna say he was testing out his fly rods He wants to catch a bass over five pounds on fly that should be interesting So literally I'm going through like Just tons and tons of tackle. This is always I say this every time This is the hardest thing about going on fishing trip is how do I pack? How do I condense with all this stuff? You know, I've hearing all these different reports and especially right now There's the bass fishing is hot down there and starting to buy plastics and everything So here, let's take a look at see what we got going on here. Currently. I've got just big old hooks big old swimbait Hooks. I've got some big chatterbaits. Everything's beefed up. I've got a bunch of different top waters I've got some missa mid-sized top waters some bigger top waters a lot of things that pause I've got big swim baits hard swim baits. I've got big soft swim baits as well I've got a whole bag full of those of various different colors. I'm going big worms big paddle tail worms My dad has got the big ribbon tail worms basically after that We're just going with big jigs crawls things like that so Biggo Steve Parks hooked me up with a sack of the good stuff today chartreuse pepper Rage crawls and beavers and things like that and then you know the spinnerbaits and stuff like that I still got some of those left that was the deal last time But I don't anticipate that being the big big pattern this time The fish are moving up and they're starting to spawn you can't really see them But they're spawning in treetops and things like that. So it'll be a lot of shallow flipping a lot of jigs Oh, yeah, I already I left a lot of my big jigs down there. My rods are down there Not my new rods whole different subject there we get on that later, but it's gonna be an amazing time So we're getting prepared for that today Now you guys saw the last vlog where we moved all of our stuff up here We actually had to make another trip and go get another storage unit and we were just spaced out right now a little stressful one thing I did have to get with all of our meat Because killed the hogs and deer and everything like that is a deep freezer. I've got a lot of fish in there right now A lot of the fish is actually from one of the fishing freaks that sent in some stuff And we're going to have that tonight Appreciate that feeding the wrackley family here. Oh fish on the floor.  I ran into a couple of them today When I was getting some tackle at a tackle shop and they were excited for you. They're like tell OSG hi Everybody out there. I think I speak for most of everybody that's that's pretty pumped Let's check in with LFD and see how excited he is All right, dad first of all, let me apologize for all the additional clutter. We we've brought upon you However, you are benefiting somewhat in the form of tackle and whatnot additional tackle I see you've got quite the assortment here. We're going to the biggest bass lake in the world That's what I think and I've got the biggest Soft plastic I could find I've got the biggest spinner baits I've got my fly rod selection. I already told them your goals try to catch one over five pounds How are you feeling about that goal?  I'm a little concerned because I've never caught a bass five pounds or two or three pounds with a fly rod Normally two pounds three is pretty tough for me So I've beefed up my rods and I've got some bigger flies and and I'm gonna give it a go It's pretty good. It looks like some tasty selections in there. What do you think your biggest bass is gonna be? Let's make some predictions right now. Let's go ahead. You can do fly in just regular rod and reel What do you got? Well, I'm going for a 10, but I think it's gonna be a little over a 10 10 to maybe 10 to okay Fly rod Five pounds. I'll be happy. I'm not gonna give him too much more details I kind of want some of the excitement to come out. I haven't told them everything about Blake the scenarios That might occur, but the reports have been phenomenal. So dad hang on to you, but it's gonna be a good time This is my official duty The house I check fish Fish checker Check on this lovely halibut. I think as soon as as soon as it starts to sweat like the one that's in front is doing Then it's done. So I think the front one's done Now at this stage pretty much done packing the tackle. We did one last run of the P. O. Box Before we left we still got a still got one more trip to go down there And that's to actually close on the house, but just wanted to let you guys know right now The P. O. Box we're got we got to shut it down for a little bit. I know a lot of you are probably anxious to send us Baby fishing for stuff and all that. So we're gonna do one last round check here when I get back for Mexico Anything that you send after that like weeks from now like a couple weeks from now It's probably gonna be hopefully redirected or it may be sent back to you So just FYI, I hope you're watching this video right now if you're planning on sending something just so you know that But we still got to do an unboxing on all this stuff as well Still got to organize my office and everything up here, but OSG is gonna be working up here as well I got two projects right now one is completed. I need to show you that's a whole nother video One is in there being worked on. This is gonna be the office for the next couple of Months, I don't know. Hopefully we get a house kind of soon. We're looking and then my dad likes to collect old lures So we've got these things hanging around what you think it's pretty cool I never kind of do any close-ups of this but this is like antique lures kind of a mix But these these two that's what I got my PB shark on or top water shark I should say and that's my PB peacock bass. He's got a whole bunch of them. Some are actually worth some money Basically the plan is on this setup on the new house for the office stuff It's just have an ultra cool background setup bring all of you guys's stuff in have an artwork wall It's gonna be really neat. Just kind of find that special spot special place in the meantime We're gonna be hanging out here. So get used to it OSG come on up Yes And this guy lives on from the hospital. Yes, he's the power fish Break him out when we need power moments there people were also asking about PO boxes So I already told him about PO box. Well, then you just haven't been around for this vlog I guess not we've been doing other things. Have I been sleeping? You have been sleeping sleeping like 12 hours a day minimum Getting great sleep that baby's growing while she's sleeping. So that's good. I know babe. It's been a great interview Love you very much You want to send off who says this is the end of the video I don't know. I thought you did. I'm still gonna go back to my tackle cave. I Got a little prep Back where we started now while you're watching this I will currently be down there I'm not sure if they're hot if they'll have internet or not So probably gonna be out of the loop here for a little while However, I got a couple of more videos ready for you this week I'm actually thinking I'm gonna get a little pregame in tomorrow and I might go out with Lunkers TV Maybe get a little jig game on and the weather has just been doing this Here in Texas like we've had a couple days warm and just go boom back down And it's like rainy and this whole next week is supposed to be rainy and that's what I'm gonna be in Mexico It's gonna be sweet.

A lot of you guys commented love the shirt too So those are still available gonna be promoting those all month.  I can't wait to take you guys down there Go make some babies from the commandero


And I understand now where it's coming from. And maybe I understand the culture you grew up in and I understand what hurts you. And so maybe I can meet these conditions. In the moment, when you're really asking what is it like to be you, then you will find access to tremendous creativity. And the other person will pick up on that, will pick up on that you're not trying to just dominate and defeat them, but that you care about them, that you're asking that question and then your guard relaxes and a connection can form.


Future Hollywood Brown Jersey in the building. Ain't no chance what I mean. So you two team keep it clean. What's going on? This ain't Graven here with another video. And today, I don't know when you're watching this, but today, the Ravens held a presser that featured Lamar Jackson, that featured John Hobball, that featured Chuck Clark. And they each had very interesting things to say, but it also featured one Hollywood Brown. And before we get into some of the different things he said and the very interesting things that he said, I gotta give a shout out to y'all and I hope that y'all are doing very well. I love y'all team keep it clean. Thank you for checking out the team keep it clean podcast. Thank you for supporting this channel the way that you do. Shout out to all the team keep it clean patrons. Appreciate y'all. Shout out to anybody that's ever donated, whether it be through Super Chat or through Cash App or PayPal, whatever. Thank you for everything that y'all do. Anybody that's ever watched a video, commented on a video, told your friends, family about the channel. Thank you. I appreciate y'all a lot. Special shout out to my guy Garth West. Shout out to my guy Garth West. I appreciate you. Shout out to you. Shout out to your wife. Shout out to your entire family, man. Love y'all. Appreciate it. Big time. My guy Garth West, a couple of months ago, he sent this what is gonna soon be a Hollywood Jersey because this is going to be added to it soon enough. But he sent me this autograph Joe Flacco Jersey. It's the autographs on the back. He didn't have to do that. He didn't need to do that. And it's not only an autograph check, but an autograph Super Bowl Jersey. So I appreciate that they stitched the Super Bowl patch on the Jersey and Flacco autographed it. I don't even remember how he said he got all that worked out, but he did and it doesn't even matter. I still appreciate it big time, man. Thank you for that. Thank you for being willing to do that, man. Straight up. Now, somebody who, this Jersey number will be representing very, well it actually represents him now because he already made a switch. It's Hollywood Brown. And in the presser today, that was the first question that he was asked. Hollywood, why did you do it now? You could have waited until next year and you wouldn't have had to spend a dime. You would not have had to spend a dime because you know, if anybody wants to change their Jersey numbers this year, anybody that was in the NFL last year, then they have to pay for all the jerseys that are in stock that have their number on them. They gotta pay for all of that. So Hollywood said, okay, cool. I'm gonna pay for all of that. And he changed his number. So they asked, why did he, why did he do it? He said, because they don't know what's gonna happen next year. He doesn't know what's gonna happen next year. He didn't feel like waiting until next year and he wanted to just do it. So he did it and he did it and he got it. So shout out to Hollywood getting number five. And again, that is the number that he wore back in his college days. Now, he spoke about T. Martin and Keith Williams and he said that those guys are really pushing the wide receivers. They're really pushing them so they can get the most out of them. And that's what we expect. We know that both T. Martin and Keith Williams, they have a nice, beautiful resume. But now it's time to up that resume. And it's time to take a team that's not known for wide receivers at all whatsoever. It's time to take that team and really push them to the next level when it comes to their past catchers. So we'll see how that goes. Now they asked about his goals. What are your goals, Hollywood? We're trying to get a thousand yards, trying to get 10 touchdowns. What are you trying to do, Hollywood? Said the goal is a Super Bowl. That's it. The goal is the Super Bowl. He said he doesn't have any other goals that he could think of. Just a Super Bowl and that's it. That's all he wanted to talk about. That's all that he thought about. That's it, Super Bowl. And he said all the work that comes with it, that's what he wants. If it ain't about the Super Bowl, then he don't want it. I said, hey, I'm with him, my friend. Another thing that he talked about, he was asked about all the time that he has with Lamar Jackson and how that impacts their on-field chemistry and on-field relationship. And he said with all the extra time that he spends with Lamar Jackson, that helps them get a better feel for each other when it comes to rapport and on-the-field chemistry and whatnot. Like Lamar will know where Hollywood needs to be and he'll throw the ball there. Hollywood knows where he needs to be and he'll go get the ball when it's thrown there. It just allows them to really get a better feel for each other for in-games. Because when you have that feel for each other, you can see it. Because you obviously know like Hollywood is the receiver that gets the most targets. Him and Mark Andrews. Those are the guys who Lamar trusts. Like these guys could be double covered. And Lamar will see that and he'll throw it to him. He could have other guys that, but anyway, we don't even need to get into that. So it's helped build that trust and grow their trust that much more, which is a beautiful thing. He said that the wide receivers are all excited to work with each other. And one part I really liked, he said they're excited to compliment each other. I see what you did there, Hollywood. And I love it. Because that's exactly what we want this Ravens receiver room to do. We want them to compliment each other. And we don't, we're not talking about the compliment. Like, hey, wow, man, that's a really nice looking jersey you got there. Well, man, hey, I really like your game day socks. Oh man, that helmet you got? Wow, that thing fits like a charm. No, not that compliment. The compliment he's talking about is to where this receiver helps this receiver look better doing this. That receiver helps this receiver get open because he's causing the distraction. They benefit off of each other's play. And that's what we're really hoping this offense does this season. And they sort of make that shift. They hit that stride. They get that momentum and they keep it going throughout the entirety of the season. And then in the post-season as well. He said that he was asked about from Aditi Kinkabawa. Now Aditi, she's, shout out to my god, Josh. But Aditi, the reporter, she's sneaky because she used to be a reporter for the Steelers for a long time, years ago. And over the past couple of years though, she's been reporting for the Ravens or on the Ravens. She's been there. I don't know if she moved there or something, but she has been there reporting on the Ravens and just, whoa, hold up. Are you secretly still working for the Steelers, Aditi? We wanna know. But anyway, she asked a question, and look, they're trying to start a pilot, but she asked a question about EDC's comments about being insulted by other people saying that they felt like the Ravens needed to make more moves at the wider steel position. And Hollywood said that he lets the outside noise stay right there, outside. Said he doesn't let all the outside stuff get in, but he said it's up to the players to get it right from within. He said it's up to them to fix it. And then Jameson Hensley asked if Hollywood and Lamar ever talk about Lamar Jackson's contract. He said, no, they talk about winning the Super Bowl. They don't talk about no contract. And I mean, like, nah, yeah, you get it. But my favorite part of this interview, favorite part about Hollywood's part of the presser was when he was asked about his expectations for the passing offense this year. Now, of course, we know last year, when he was in Hollywood, he got frustrated. And he let those frustrations be known via Twitter. We all know the famous tweet. But he let it be known. And then even after that, he struggled a little bit here and there. And he even acknowledged it too. He said he got to clean up the drops. He said he knows that. He acknowledged it on one of his Twitch live streams a few weeks ago. But with Hollywood, he asked what are your expectations for the passing offense this year? Mr. Marquis, what do you expect? What do we think you guys are gonna do? And he said that his expectations are to score a lot of points. He is looking forward to scoring a lot of points. That's what he expects this passing offense to do. And then the best part, he said, whether that's with the most amount of passing attempts or the least. And we know that as a wide receiver, there's no way that you wanna win with the least amount of passing attempts, right? Because that means you can't shine. But for him to publicly put it out there, hey, this is whether we got the most attempts or the least attempts in my eyes. This shows me that, excuse me, he was letting it be known. I'm just ready to win. I'm ready to win and I'm ready to contribute whatever it takes. And this let it be known too that I ain't got no problem with Greg Roman. I ain't got no problem with him. So I'm ready to just get this thing going, to get this thing moving. However we do it, let's do it, let's get it rocking and let's push forward. And I love that. I love that. I saw somebody in the comment section say that it seems like Lamar Jackson and Hollywood Brown, they're both really maturing in front of all of our eyes. And yeah, they are. And because you got to think about these guys when they come into the league, they're young, very, very young. They could be 20, 21 years old, 22, super young. And you got to remember too, cause some people might be like, well, 2021, 22, that's a grown man right there. Well, by age it is, but experience differs, especially when you just been playing college ball your entire life.  Because you don't go through the same experiences that somebody in the regular world would go through. And not that that's a bad thing, but it just changes how your life transpires. It changes how your life goes. It changes all of that. So you don't live a normal life and you may not mature like a quote unquote, normal person would, even though like, what is it such thing as a normal person and even know what that is. But you get what I'm saying. So you're going to have a different path to your maturity level in your experience than somebody who's not around football 24 seven does. So with that being said, you really got to give it to these guys just based off of their interview skills alone, just based off of their press conference skills alone, because it takes a lot. So shout out to all those fellas. Shout out to the Ravens for getting them right. Shout out just to everybody, man. Special shout out to Hollywood. We looking forward to him this year, big time. We all already know we are seeing him out there in that number five, making plays, doing this thing. And we just hoping that he has in just the entire team, they have a lot of success. They have the most success, more success than any of the other 31 teams out there. But we'll see how this thing goes. So shout out to Hollywood. Shout out to all the receivers, the whole receiver room, because there's going to be some competition in there. Light it up. We out.


I jinxed us last episode. I'm 100% sure of it. We were 4 and 0 with the Bengals, Jamar, Chase, Jersey on. And then I switched it up and we got our first loss of the season. We're now 4 and 1.  I don't know why I did that. I'm matching Tito clear why it would have worked. So let's recoup. Let's have an amazing episode of Wheel of Mutt today. If you need to get caught up to speed, we've finally made some offensive line improvements. We've got Trey Pipkins. We've got Creed Home Free Country Strong. But last episode, I did have an amazing left guard and an amazing right guard, but we lost. So I didn't get to keep them. Wide receivers are looking great. My backfields looking great. I could certainly use a full back and a backup tight end on offense, but we've got some budget linebackers and then the amazing Anthony Walker Jr. We got Derwin James Prestige. We got Jesse Bates. We got Jalen Johnson. We got Joey Porter. We got Cramarty and Nick Bosa still. I cannot believe it. Nick Bosa still doesn't have a guard. As you're watching this video, we're probably really close to the harvest promo coming out. It hasn't come out quite yet, but the hope is a Nick Bosa harvest card. And if he gets a harvest card, it's going to be a 92 overall. Historically, they always have been. So if Nick Bosa wants to get a little 92, I won't be too mad about it. But for now we're stuck with the 86 overall. Keep in mind, Nick Bosa is a prestige player, meaning I'm always entitled to the best version possible. That's why I'm hoping that they drop a 92. One more win and we secure a spot in the playoffs. Two more losses and we get booted. So let's not go on a three game lost streak. Let's just recover right here and go straight to the playoffs. All right, y'all, let's waste no time. The very first wheel spin of today's episode, I kind of want to get my guards back. Let's see if it's possible. 40K per tier on a tackling mini game. So if I get bronze, I get 40,000 silvers, 80,000 gold is 120,000. We're taking on the Raiders, which means we're taking on Josh Jacobs. All right, I'm going to be the Niners. So I get Fred Warner. All right, we're going chasing tackle. I need 30,000 for gold. I have the world record on this mini game. Fun fact, like actually I did a YouTube short on it. So if you guys have, I don't know if you would have already seen that YouTube short, but I'm pretty good at this one. I finally figured it out.  I'm going to have gold at like 38 seconds. This is going to be a cake. Oh, this is too easy, bro. I was in the lab playing this for like literally six. Oh, that resets my multiplier too. Wait a minute, man.   If you're wondering, the cut stick is the safe option. Oh my God. Like what is that? That was Trent Richardson levels of... The cut stick is always the safest to kill. Dude, am I going to, am I not going to gold this? I was just talking myself up this entire time. Wait a minute. I need 30,000 for gold. Oh my God.   Okay, I have to, I have to be perfect the rest of these tackles. I'm just going to get this. Oh, I'm going to get it. I'm going to clutch up. I'm going to clutch up. We need a fumble though. You get so many bonus points for a fumble. I like low... Oh, stop! Stop. Oh my God. Oh, can you imagine like a new viewer? Like someone's never seen Wheel of Mup before and they just click on and they think I'm the madden guy and then they just watch that, bro. That was... Oh my God. That was pitiful. Guys, my high score on that is 288,000. I just got 20,000. Luckily, it's not the end of the world. So for silver tier, I get 80,000 coins. Landon Dickerson is 73,000. It's an 87 overall left guard. I will survive. All right, boys. First wheel spin. I got one of my guards backs. We got a left guard locked in. We still got two wheel spins left. Let's see what we can get on this one. Ooh, I'm getting... Oh, I'm giving EA money on this one. I get 6,000 madden cash to spend and I can keep not one, but two players out of that 6,000 madden cash. It's actually insanely good time to get this wheel spin, AKA Power Fantasy Pack. Crazy good for a wheel of mud. I'm just gonna open it. There's a whole bunch of nonsense words over there. This is definitely more than half of our budget, but we get a guaranteed 88 overall player.  I already have him. So just not Creed Humphrey. No. I had to think about that, but no. I think all my corners are better. Jalen Johnson's better. Joey Porter's better. Antonio Cremardi's better. He's washed. He's got 86 speed. He's washed. Please don't be Creed Humphrey, bro. Yes. Oh my, that's just diabolical. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. It's not over, because I only get to keep two players from the 6,000 madden cash anyway. We get two 84 plus, and we get another 88 plus. Okay, we're fine. We're gonna clutch up here. You're not clutching up. You're not clutching up.  Well, actually, Jerome Bettis is a new fullback. So technically, we have an option right now. The unfair, oh, that's a big one. That's a big one. I use you either. Oh, do I sub out?  Dude, this is insane. I feel like, why would I take Josh and Alan out? Because Josh and Alan's playing so well, but like, dude, Johnny football, Josh and Alan is better.   There's a new limited Russell Wilson. That would have been a quarterback upgrade. There's a 91 strong safety, CJ Gardner Johnson. There's a 91 Kenneth Walker. There's a 90 Justin Jefferson. There's a 90, I'm doing this 2X pro-playmaker packs. I have 2,100 Madden Cash left over. So this is 800 of that. This will leave me with 1,300 Madden Cash. Technically, I could get everything that I need to keep in these packs right here. 85 Ronnie Law. You low, like a low-key, I could take something like this just to prestige him down the line, but I probably won't. Matekavit, okay, Moffay, no thank you. Kind of want to back up tight end, bro. Great offer, you guys, it's just insult to injury.  Andrew Norwell could low-key go at right guard. I have enough for a triumph elite pack. Felix Anadike uses snow. He doesn't help me in chubbering. Linderbaum has a plus 11 at right guard. He's a 79 overall right guard. That is a big upgrade. And then obviously Jerome Bettis is gonna be a lot better than a 68 here, I'd imagine. Yeah, he's 76, so that's a plus eight at fullback. Like it is, he's obviously pretty big upgrades, but just not. That's, bro, third wheel spin. You have to save me. Trash packs, horrendous tackling. You gotta save me. Yes, yes, I'm saved. Legends jackpot so I could get any legend in the game. Tell me why I want this 90 overall Luke Keekley song. If we took this Luke Keekley, do we move Anthony Walker to an outside linebacker? They technically could both be middle linebackers on certain formations, but not all of them. I don't wanna run like a nickel and then pull them both. It's honestly a really tough decision, so Aikman's out of the question. I'm not taking him. Me and Joe Green, technically I could do that because I'm missing a d-tackle too right now. I think me and Joe Green's a really good option too, but I'm gonna go with the 90 overall. He also gets lurk artist. I know for a fact, and you know why I really wanna do this Luke Keekley? When I lost last game, that guy had both Luke Keekley and Patrick Willis lurk artist. It was scary. It's also gonna be fun to try out a new user, so I'm actually gonna make Luke Keekley the primary. He's virtually the same thing as Anthony Walker. He's two inches taller, one speed faster, less excel, better block shedding, hit power, and zone coverage. For now, I'll put Anthony Walker at MLB two, but I'll make sure I sub him in so that if it's nickel, and there's only three linebackers out there, that Anthony Walker is also definitely. Dude, look at this linebacker duo. Everything looks good. Linder bombs at right guard. We've got a new fullback in right guard, technically, even though they're out of position. We got Landon Dickerson at left guard and a 90 overall, Luke Keekley. The challenge wheel. Don't ever sleep on the challenge wheel. The challenge wheel is the sole reason that we kept Creed Humphrey last episode. Our challenge. This one looks a little confusing. Let me explain. 10 plus yards per reception with a minimum of four reception. So one of my receivers has to average more than 10 yards per catch. It's really not that hard, but it stops you from throwing short passes to the same receiver. God, 92 knight trade, 92 canine, 91 belong. NFL young boy. Let's see if he lives up to his name. I got my two best middle linebackers in. Canine's got an ability. I don't know what it is, but I am scared of it. It definitely like makes it so he breaks the first attack. I don't know what the ability is now, but if I ever, oh, what's that canine ability?  Oh, an end around, but I'm over here and Luke Keekley. And I may not have made that tackle in the tackling drill, but I'll make it in the game. Oh, why are you throwing that?   So Jamar Chase might catch that. I don't know. Oh, and that's a first two. Night train lane. I was scared he was going to get me there. Hey, he's shading inside.  I just need a little bit of time in this pocket. Oh, maybe not. Oh, but I had McCaffrey. Yoshivus, big post routes. I was almost caught by McCaffrey. That's exactly what we need. I can't kick this. I never bought a really good kicker. So yeah, I can't hit that. Fourth and five. There it is, the Whip Rout. Who's on McCaffrey? Nobody's on McCaffrey. Insane catch. Big Ju, too easy. That was an insane catch from McCaffrey. Most running backs would never have caught that and continued to run. But McCaffrey's one of the few running backs that has really good receiving stats. That catch, and then look, he put his left hand on the ground to keep himself up. That was a very cool animation. He's going to pass, play action. Got this bottled up. And it says timeout on the screen. Is that supposed to be a penalty? It is. Penal grounding. And he wants a slant right here, but I got this box up. How is there no pressure? Dude, Durwin's slapping that thing like, like he's beating his wife. Just intercept it. I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like, if I was beating my wife. Ah, okay.  There's no way what I just said ever comes out well. Get home. No way we get a rage quit against this team, bro. First in time. Let's see what he wants here. Ooh, who is that guarding McCaffrey? That's zone. He just switched to zone. Wow, he was in man and he just switched to zone. All right, this is good. Jamar is looking on pace right now. I could throw a short one to Jamar. I can afford it. Whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip. Ah, okay. Don't clip that out of context though. Don't clip that out of context. I know what that looked like. It was just a good whip. We're putting a good whipping on this guy. Okay. I'm done. I'm sorry. I'm done. You know what's crazy, bro? He got like seven, eight yards on his first run with Kenneth Walker. Hasn't gone back to him since.  End around. He believes in this play. Ooh, way to read your blocks. Nice play. He wants to dig. He wants to dig. He's not getting anything. He can hit 80. Ooh, nice play. Person 10. I'm guessing pass though. I really hope he doesn't run it. He doesn't.  That's end around. He really wants that to work. Hell yeah. Luke Keekley, Anthony Walker duo. Checks down to K9. Anthony Walker is all over it. I'm serious. That is a deep QB sneak. Oh, it's not a QB sneak. We got it in play. Antonio Cremart Henry. Oh my God. That was a mutt. Dude, his Zach Martin got in the way. Let's secure our challenge. Play action. Hang out in the pocket. Deliver. That's his fourth reception. Let's go look. Let's go look. I don't know if he has it. I didn't get a lot of yards on that. Oh, he already had it. He got an option, 62 yards. That means he's averaging 12 yards per reception. I'm saying all these words, man. That was a mean thing. Right now it's a two-position lead. If we can hammer home a field goal of a four half, this game is over, over. There's Gronk again.  QB spy? No? Go, go, go, go, go. Yes, hippie. What a ball. Out of bounds, Yoshi. I think he got hit stuck out of bounds. He may have CTE, but we'll get a field goal out of it and that's all that matters in the league. Luke Keekley is in at tight end. I don't know how that happened, but... I don't ask those questions. I just throw lasers to the open. That could have been a touchdown if I had waited another half a second. Okay, this is such a horrible position to be in. You're telling me McPherson can't hit this. Like seriously, he can't hit a 55? Let's go, we gotta do this so fast.  You're not out of bounds. I can't McPherson hit from 55. Did we throw to Keekley?  He catches that. He's pissed. Oh, you know he's pissed about that. That's a blitz. Oh, look at you, buddy. So open that I could throw a 360 pass off my back foot. Can we talk about Josh Allen's stat line, right?  Double safety blitz. Come on! Oh my God, I'm reading you like a book. Wait for it, double safety blitz. Bingo. That's what he read last time when I should have touched down. No way, is this gonna work? No, it's not worth it. Definitely could have thrown that to X. I'm gonna take a field goal one that Evan McPherson can hit. I believe in you, buddy. He drills it. Can't get to it. Nice catch. But hit too though. I'm happy about the hit. Chris is in 10. He's in no huddle. He wants it. Little boot roll out.  What are we doing, man? This ain't bad in 20, bro. There's no dashing dead eye. That might be the rage quit. It's ironically been all defense. This game is so offensive, so it's crazy to have. It's crazy to have a shutout. I'm quite proud of myself. Oh, that's what I say, bro. Throwing the ball can only harm my stats. Ooh, didn't get home. Can I take the angle? Don't pull him in. Jalen Johnson gets cooked there by digs. Go ball, Lamar. Is he go for two? Yeah, he should go for two here. Yep. Oh, I own you. Ooh, I sniffed that out. See what this looks like. Onside kicks are really good, bro.  You can really return these. See what he's got? He's even got limited butchers. Somebody actually refund this guy. Yoshi. Not only does Yoshi catch it, but he takes it into enemy territory. And now if I get a field goal, it's a 15 point game. Yeah, he's pressing up and he's moving his user, which is amazing, because I'm gonna be home. Ooh, right back to cross drag. Oh, is that out of bounds? Oh, wow. What a run. Third and nine stretch cut up the middle. Could make it a three possession lead again if we can just soar this. That was too easy. I got no line now, baby. 18 point lead. I'm gonna try and extend that to 20 with a stretch run here to McCaffrey. We got the numbers. Ooh, nobody don't. Jeez. I might just run the score up on him now. Zac Coots. Zac Coots. Zac Coots. The silver. Who are you? What are you? McCaffrey is having a PPR day. Eee. Let's pass. He's gonna get a touchdown. And I'm so mad about it. Block you. He did. Oh my.  I've always thought that like, we should have some extra special reward that I do if I ever get a 40 bomb. I was thinking about getting, do you guys know Panini National Treasures? They're like really expensive boxes of sports cards. I was thinking about having like a couple of them just in the background, couple boxes. And if I get a 40 bomb, I get to like open it, give away the cards, and then I get to keep one player for my team. And he's gonna nail it out after the 40 bomb. Honestly, respect. 142.9 QBR out of Josh Allen.  He's being greedy.  We had the challenge with two people. So Grant fell short. He had the four receptions, but nine yards per reception. CMC gets it for 13.2, and then Jamar Chase 7-145. Jamar Chase is gonna win MVP. If we make it to the Super Bowl, we're gonna do the first ever Wheel of Mud Awards ceremony. Jamar Chase is winning it on offense. I don't know about defense yet though. Two TFLs for Antonio Cremardi. He did make some huge plays. It is said, dude, I think it might be Bruce Smith right now. Bruce Smith has had a sack every game. And there was an interception for Bates, Joey Porter, Luke Keekley, and Irwin G. So we finished the season five and one, and all that's left, you see it there on your screen, baby. Survive the playoffs. So the playoffs in Madden 24 are a wild card slash divisional game. Then it's the NFC championship, slash AFC championship, and then it's the Super Bowl. I guess it's the, it's the AFC championship. I did complete my challenge with it so I could get one of any pack in the store. EA's got a coin shuffle, just straight up gambling degeneracy. I'm gonna go with an all-Madden pack. I technically could pull the 91s. We're guaranteed two of the 82s or better. 82 John Runyon. He might be better at right guard. Probably not. David Mayo, left-outside linebacker. We got 82 Marvin Harrison. No, he's not anywhere. Kavon Thibodeau. Kavon Thibodeau. He's got a 90 over, almost feared. And it's, what is he, top five or top 10 in the league in sacks? He's having a good season. I'm gonna make sure I go throw Kavon Thibodeau in as a backup for my defense. In case I make the Super Bowl, bro, I think Kavon Thibodeau has a chance to be a really good prestige player. All right, y'all.  That worked out super well for us. We head to the playoffs so the very next episode that you guys see will be in the playoffs. I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next wheel of mud. Peace.
