I'm Renee Thomas, and I have the privilege of serving as director of the Purdue University Black Cultural Center. This past year, the Black Cultural Center celebrated its 50th anniversary, so we have a very long history and tradition at Purdue University. We also receive national recognition as one of the best cultural centers in our country, and we're really proud about that. The Black Cultural Center is a place where the African American experience can be explored, celebrated and shared. We provide programs and services to support our students in terms of their academic and personal identity and success at the university. We host six different performing arts ensembles in dance, drama, creative writing, choral music, as well as scholarly research. And then we also provide support services for students to thrive academically through our library collection, a 20-station computer lab. We have a marvelous art collection that I invite you to come in and see. And then finally, we also have a cultural arts series in which we invite prominent guest speakers and performers to the university for public lectures and presentations. And part of that cultural arts series also includes a research tour in which we explore various cultural sites that are relevant to the African American experience. The impact of the Black Cultural Center is tremendous. One of the things that we are very much supportive of is identity development. We know that students, particularly African American students who have a strong sense of identity and self-development, they tend to perform better academically. They tend to be retained at the university at a higher rate, and they also tend to graduate. So we know that the Black Cultural Center plays a vital role as it relates to the academic achievement and success of our students because of the identity development. And we do identity development through the arts as well. So students may be involved with the Black Voices of Inspiration. They learn about the role of traditional Negro spirituals in terms of their history and culture. We also do identity development through our guest speakers and performers that we have to the institution. And it reads like a who's who when you think about the people who have graced the campus of Purdue University because of the Black Cultural Center. Performances by the Alvin Alley Dance Theater, lecture presentations by Condoleezza Rice. Maya Angelou has been on campus and the list just goes on and on and on. But one of the things that we're committed to at the Black Cultural Center is to celebrate the African American experience and the celebration is open to all individuals to participate. And we develop the philosophy of we meet you where you are. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum in terms of self identity, we play a role in helping to educate the students and provide that sense of belonging for them. Excellence is something that all the cultural centers embrace. And for many years, cultural centers have been placed on the margins of campus, not seen as an integral part of the university campus. And again, we adopted a philosophy that we are the center of it all and that we, regardless of what the students need, whether it's academic, social or various resources, the cultural centers are a place in which students can find that. And what we found that we have moved from the margins being defined as marginalized to becoming the leading edge at our institution in terms of the innovation that the cultural centers provide. The Black Cultural Center is a place in which students' cultural identity is affirmed. We have a family atmosphere produced, you know, more than 40,000 students strong. So it really creates a community within a community in terms of that family atmosphere. And we also impact the student success. We want our students to get involved through the Performing Arts Ensemble program. They can become a member of one of our various ensembles. They can get involved by attending a BCC-sponsored program. They can also get involved by just utilizing the center in terms of a study place with the computer lab and or library operations. So there's a variety of ways for students to get involved and we benefit tremendously from the student interaction as well. Like the other cultural centers host an annual welcome back celebration and welcome to we call it BoilerFest, which is our new student orientation program. And which we invite a variety of multicultural student organizations to have tables so that they can introduce themselves to the students who attend the BoilerFest program. We also have VIP speakers such as yourself, Dr. Gates, letting students know that they need to move from a position of I'm surviving to I am thriving at this institution. We also invite our local vendors who are minority owned businesses to be represented, including barbershops and salons. Most of the time students want to know where can I get my hair done? Where can I do this? And the Black Cultural Center BoilerFest program provides that we are currently exploring the way in which we want to provide that opportunity virtually to students. Because we know that we have physical distancing that will be in place this fall. So we will have some sort of BoilerFest program we're currently pivoting now to determine exactly what that will look like. We're doing tribute and commemoration to Dr. Martin Luther King for decades now and which we have historically invited a guest speaker or performer to the University to remind students of the significant contributions that Dr. King made. We also have a service component. Each year we have about 400 students who volunteer to spend a half a day out in community based organizations. We call it a day on as opposed to a day off in which they volunteer their service for the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Good evening aspirants, welcome to daily news analysis brought to you by Shankar A.S. Academy. Today's date is 11th January 2024. Displayed here are the list of topics we are going to see today. Now before we get into the discussion, I have an important announcement. Shankar A.S. Academy is starting prelims fitness test series, which is called pre-fit test series. And the batch one will be starting on 22nd January 2024. There were totally 63 tests out of which 37 are half test and 6 full revision test and 7 full test. It also includes 10 C-SAT test. The test mode will be conducted both offline and online. So, other details regarding this test series is given in the link in the description. Kindly check it. With this, let us start the discussion. Look at this article. It talks about a very high energy cosmic ray event occurred in 2021. This cosmic ray event is named as Amaterasu. So, in this news article discussion, first let us understand what is cosmic rays and then we shall see what is ultra high energy cosmic rays. So, what are cosmic rays? See, cosmic rays are invisible stream of energetic clusters coming from outer space and from the sun. They include protons and alpha particles. Here alpha particles are nothing but helium nuclei with the two protons and two neutrons. Cosmic rays were first discovered in 1912 by Victor Franz Hess. Remember, cosmic rays can be divided into two types. Firstly, those originating from beyond our solar system, they are called galactic cosmic rays. These rays originate outside the solar system from the events like supernova. Here supernova is an explosion that occurs when a massive star nears the end of its life after running out of its energy. Secondly, high energy particles emitted by the sun also releases cosmic rays and they are called solar cosmic rays. So, these are the two types of cosmic rays. One is galactic cosmic rays and other one is solar cosmic rays. Understood? Remember, only low intensity cosmic rays reach the Earth's surface. This is because they smash into atoms of atmospheric gases and produce a shower of other particles. During this process, they lose most of their energy in the atmosphere itself. So, this is the reason why the discovery of Amaterasu cosmic ray is most significant. Now, let us see the applications of cosmic rays. Cosmic rays provides one of our few direct samples of matter from the outside of solar system. So, they are high energy particles that move through space at nearly the speed of light. So, it can tell about space and the universe. In 20th century, cosmic rays helped scientists to discover antimatter and the muons. Antimatter and muon are subatomic particles beyond proton, neutron and electron. So, cosmic rays tells us about the chemical and physical makeup of the universe. It can tell us about how the universe has changed over time and what happens around the supermassive black holes. Most importantly, they help us to understand unknown astronomical phenomena and new physical origins beyond the standard models. So, this is all regarding this discussion. Now, let us move to the next topic. Look at this news article. Tamil Nadu is planning to declare four new sites as biodiversity heritage site. As we all know that Aritapatti in Madurai was the first biodiversity heritage site in Tamil Nadu. So, there will be four new sites which will be selected from Tamil Nadu. So, this is the article. In our discussion, let us see about biodiversity heritage site and Aritapatti site for our plumes exam. See, first of all, what is biodiversity heritage site? They are well-defined heritage areas with unique ecologically fragile ecosystem. It can be terrestrial, coastal, inland water or marine ecosystem. Know that under section 37 of the Biological Diversity Act 2002, the state government in consultation with the local body can notify a site as biodiversity heritage site. We should know that Nallur Tamarin Group in Bengaluru was the first biodiversity heritage site selected in India. It is declared as biodiversity heritage site in 2007. At present, there are 44 biodiversity heritage sites in India. So, this is all about the basics of biodiversity heritage site. Now, let us see the characteristics of these sites. They have specious richness, high endomism, presence of rare and threatened species, keystone species, presence of wild ancestors of domestic species, etc. Now, let us see the process of declaring a site as biodiversity heritage site. Firstly, the state biodiversity boards may invite suggestions for the declaration of such sites. Moreover, it can also receive suggestions from communities through Gamsabha, urban wards, forest protection communities, tribal councils, etc. Know that all these processes will go through the Biodiversity Management Committee. Then after several scrutiny, state biodiversity board issue a preliminary notification. After 30 days of draft notification, there will be a public hearing. And after this, the announcement of biodiversity heritage site is done. You should also know that declaration of such area as biodiversity heritage site does not put any restriction on the prevailing practices and usages of local communities. So, this is about the Biodiversity Heritage Site. Now, let us see about Aritapatti Biodiversity Heritage Site, which is the only such site in Tamil Nadu. It has rich biological and historical significance. This site has presence of around 250 bird species, including three flagship raptor species. So, these three species are Lager Falcon, Shaheen Falcon, Monally Eagle. Moreover, this site is surrounded by a chain of seven hills that serve as a watershed. It has 72 lakes, 200 natural springs and three check dams. Know that Anaykondan lake, which is built during Pandian kings in 16th century, is also one among the lake in this region. This Aritapatti site also has several Mahalithic structures, rock cut temples, Tamil Brahmi inscription and Jain caves in this area. So, this is all about the discussion. Now, let us move to the next topic. Look at this editorial article. It is about the recent conflict between India and Maldives. The article says that the tension between India and Maldives was triggered by a series of tweets by few Maldivian ministers and the main cause is the shifting Maldives foreign policy. The new president has prioritized relations with China and sidelined India. The article adjusts both countries to reassess their responses, emphasizing the significance of their historical ties. The article also highlights the benefits of previous strong relationship amid rising nationalist sentiments. So, this is about the editorial given here. In this context, let us answer a main question related to India-Maldives relations. Now, look at the question. The historical and geographical ties between India and Maldives are significant but the expanding presence of China in Indo-Pacific region has become a source of concern. Assess the strategic significance of Maldives for India and explore how China's influence is affecting the relationship between India and Maldives. So, this is the question. The question is expecting us to address two things. Firstly, we have to write about the strategic significance of Maldives for India and then we have to write about how Chinese influence is affecting India-Maldives relations. This may look like a long question, but it is a simple, straightforward question. In the introduction, we can write about general points about ties between India and Maldives. The Maldives, as India's closest neighbour, has historically relied on India for essential support and assistance. Even during the British rule, it relied on India for essential commodities. Currently, the economic ties have expanded to include infrastructure projects, trade partnerships and a bilateral USD currency swap agreement. For example, Hanimado International Airport Development Project and Greater Malay Connectivity Project. The defence cooperation between India and Maldives include joint exercises, training for Maldivian National Defence Force and collaborative efforts like Operation Cactus in 1980. Even recently during the pandemic, Maldives was the first nation to receive vaccines from India under Vasin Maitri initiative. India also supplied essential medicines to Maldives under Operation Sanjivani. So, you can include these points in our introduction. Now, coming to the body of the answer. Here, we have to write about strategic importance of Maldives for India. Before answering this part, first we have to know what is strategic importance. The strategic important location refers to a place or an area that holds significant importance due to its advantageous position for military, economic and political reasons. So, you must not restrict your answer only to the military importance. You must address other aspects also. Now, let us start with the military importance of Maldives to India. The first one is India's maritime security. Maldives is strategically located in Indian Ocean and its stability is crucial for India's maritime security. It serves as buffer between India and potential threats coming from India's adversaries. Secondly, India views the Maldives as the first line of defence against various security threats. Both countries collaborate to counter these challenges and contribute to regional stability. Now, moving on to the economic aspect. Here, you can mention that India has undertaken various infrastructure projects in Maldives such as the Greater Malay Connectivity Project and these projects not only contribute to the economic development of Maldives but also enhance India's influence in the region. Secondly, Maldives is located at the hub of commercial sea lanes which is running through Indian Ocean. So, having a stable and friendly Maldives will ensure security for Indian trade. Now, moving on to the political aspect. Maldives play an important role in India's strategic outreach in Indian Ocean as part of India's broader vision for Indo-Pacific region. The stability in Maldives is essential for India. India seeks to strengthen its partnership in the region to ensure a secure and cooperative geopolitical environment. So, these are some points regarding Maldives' strategic importance for India. Now, let us see how Chinese influence is affecting India-Maldives relations. In this, you can first mention about the increasing Chinese influence. See, in 2011, China opened its embassy in Maldives. Since then, it has been trying to attract Maldives towards China's foreign policy. Firstly, the Maldives has received substantial investment from China and has actively participated in China's built and road initiative. China has provided funding and undertaken construction of several key projects in Maldives. Secondly, in 2017, Maldives and China signed a free trade agreement. This shows that Maldives and China are growing closer. Now, how this relation is affecting India? The new Maldives president came to power by taking anti-India stand. Normally, the Maldivian president will visit India as a part of their first bilateral visit. But contrary to this trend, the new president visited Turkey as a part of his bilateral visit. Also, the new president requested India to withdraw India's troops from the Maldives. The president also made a visit to China during the ongoing conflict between India and Maldives relations. So, this shows his pro-China stance. So, all these reasons are affecting India's friendly relations with the Maldives. So, we have addressed the need of the question. Now, coming to the conclusion part. In conclusion, we can mention that both India and Maldives should pause and reconsider their actions. Maldives cannot afford to provoke India, considering its close proximity, economic strength and historical role as a primary security provider in India. Similarly, India should recognize the impracticality of exerting pressure on a significantly smaller neighbor. India should also use neighborhood-first policy to reduce Chinese influence in Maldives. In addition to this, both India and Maldives should prioritize diplomatic solutions and cooperation over confrontational approaches. So, in this way, you can end the answer. With this, let us conclude the discussion and move to the next topic. Look at this news article. It says that Tamil Nadu is not willing to ask Krishna water from Andhra Pradesh. This is because the reservoirs in Chennai have enough storage due to rains from Cyclone Michuang and Northeast Monsoon. So, this is the crux of the news article given here. In this context, let us discuss in brief about Krishna River from our Prolims perspective. See, Krishna River is an interstate river in southern India. It is the second largest river in our peninsula, India. Now that, the largest river in Peninsular India is Godavari. Now, what is the source of Krishna? Krishna rises in the western gods at an altitude of 1337 meters near Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra. Then it flows across the whole width of Peninsular from west to east for a length of about 1400 km. It forms a fertile delta in Andhra Pradesh before draining into Bay of Bengal. Now, let us see the drainage and tributaries of river Krishna. See, the Krishna basin extends over the state of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Its total catchment area is more than 2.58 lakh square km. Know that the basin is roughly triangular in shape and is bounded by Bala God Range on north, eastern gods on south and by western gods on west. Now, let us see the tributaries. The right bank tributaries of Krishna, Godprabha, Malaprabha and Thungabhatra. The left bank tributaries are Bhima, Musi and Munneru. Note that Thungabhatra River is the largest tributary of Krishna River and the longest tributary of Krishna is Bhima River. Now, let us see the important projects located on Krishna River. Firstly, Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. It is the world's largest masonry dam located in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana border. The other important dams are Almathi Dam in Karnataka, Sri Salem Dam in Andhra Pradesh, Thungabhatra Dam again in Karnataka and moreover know that Koina River in which the Koina Dam is located is also a tributary of Krishna and this river flows in Maharashtra. This dam is known for 1967 dam-induced earthquake which killed hundreds of people. So, these are some of the important projects on Krishna River. With this, let us conclude the discussion and move to the next topic. Look at this article. It is about a recent report called World Employment and Social Outlook Trends 2024. This was released by International Labour Organization. The report says that global unemployment will increase in 2024. The report also stated that real wages declined in the majority of G20 countries as the wages increases and it failed to keep pace with inflation. So, this is about the news article. In this context, let us see some points about International Labour Organization. The ILO was established in 1919 by the Treaty of Versailles and initially, it served as an affiliated agency of League of Nations. In 1946, it became the first affiliated specialized agency of United Nations. The headquarters of ILO is located in Geneva and Switzerland. ILO plays a significant role in promoting social justice and fair labour practices since its establishment. The organization brings together representatives from government, employers and workers of 187 member states to set labour standards. Now, let us see the organizational structure of ILO. The ILO operates through three main bodies, International Labour Conference, Governing Body and International Labour Office. These bodies consist of representatives from governments, employers and workers. First, let us see about International Labour Conference. This body sets international labour standards and formulates the broad policies of ILO. It is often referred to as International Parliament of Labour and it meets annually in Geneva. Next, let us take the Governing Body. Saving as an executive council, the Governing Body meets three times a year in Geneva. It makes policy decisions, establishes programs and budgets which are then submitted to International Labour Conference for adaptation. Lastly, there is International Labour Office. The International Labour Office acts as a permanent secretary of ILO. It serves as a focal point for organizations' activities. It prepares reports under the scrutiny of Governing Body and the leadership of Director-General. The ILO performs various functions to address social and labour issues. It works towards the creation of coordinated policies and programs aimed at solving social and labour problems. It ensures the adoption of international labour standards through conventions and recommendations and also monitor their implementation. It ensures the protection of human rights including the right to work, freedom of association, collective bargaining, protection against forced labour and protection against discrimination. Lastly, it conducts research and publishes work on social and labour issues. So, these are some important functions performed by International Labour Organization. So, this is all regarding this discussion. Now, we have come to the problems practice question discussion. Look at the first question. Krishna is a mighty east flowing river of Peninsula India that rises from western gods in Karnataka. Yes, this statement is correct. Musi river is one of the tributaries of river Krishna. Yes, this statement is also correct. As we have seen in the discussion, there are 13 major tributaries of which six are right bank tributaries and seven are left bank tributaries. And the Musi river is one of the left bank tributaries of Krishna. Now, coming to the second question, look at the biodiversity heritage sites and the states in which they are present. So, how many of the pairs are not correctly matched? The correct answer is option B, only two pairs. Now, look at the third question. Consider the following statements with reference to International Labour Organization. It promotes internationally recognized human and labour rights. This statement is correct. India is one of the founding member of ILO. Yes, this statement is also correct. The third statement is incorrect. India has ratified all the eight core fundamental ILO conventions. India has ratified only six of the eight core ILO conventions. So, it has ratified the remaining two conventions. And the two conventions which India has ratified is freedom of association and production of right to organize convention, which is implemented in 1948 and the right to organize and collective bar gaining convention, which is implemented in 1949. So, these two conventions are not ratified by India. So, the correct answer is option B, only two. With this, we have come to the end of the discussion.

what's up Abe Lincoln? Up is a two letter word that indicates direction. How many times have you told that joke in your life? And that's probably conservative. When you follow us on Instagram, Twitter, for one of those. Gotta be gentle with those. There's the greatest moment in Will and Grace history. Have you seen the new Will and Grace, the one that started in 2018? I've only, I tell the first season. Oh, so you saw the moment with Alec Baldwin and Karen. Oh no, I didn't get to Alec Baldwin. Oh my, there's a spectacular moment with Alec Baldwin and Karen where he's saying, until you agree to be with me and leave Stan, I'm not going to be physical with you. And she says, you mean you're not going to do this? And he says, yeah, and I'm not going to do this. And they mime these actions. That's why this, you reminded me of it with this. It's spectacular. Today we're doing a trailer. I believe it's a Hindi trailer. It's called Sanam Kari Kasam. I believe it came out in 2015, this film. Okay. It's a musical tale of love, longing and loss. Three L's, a nice alliteration. Directed by Radhika Rao and Vanessa Puru. Cast is Harshaverdan Rain and Maura Hoken. I don't recognize them. Um, but that is all I know. And you said it's Hindi? It's Hindi. Okay. So I think a lot of people said this is like an underrated gem. I love that. Ah, so it wasn't like that. One of those that you wouldn't necessarily hear about, but you really need to see. You guys can let us know if that's correct. Like the lighthouse. Yeah. But I think that one's more independent. I think this one, this is like mainstream.  Got it. I think you guys can tell me if I'm wrong in that assumption. Here we go. Jai jai. Gorgeous voice. Sorry, sorry. I'm very sorry. Why are you getting naked with a bear? Why wouldn't you? You're concerning to me. Me too, in terms of would I like it? Like there were, one, I think they are giving a little too much away about the entire story of this as opposed to just being more subtle with, which I feel like sometimes the Hindi industry will do that. I think they even did it with Mimi, even though we loved Mimi. I think they might have even given away a little too much in the trailer, even though there are stuff if you haven't seen Mimi. Please go watch Mimi. Please watch Mimi. Fantastic. Fantastic film. But I feel like sometimes they get like as opposed to Malayalam, which is almost very vague. Tense to be like, yeah, really? What's that even about? But there were parts of it that I was like, that looks like a really intriguing love story. I agree. It pulled me in and pushed me out like eight times. A couple times. Yeah. So I don't know, you can let us know how these actors are if they're, because that was one of my concerns is mostly him sometimes. Yeah, there was an affectation that I wonder about, that I don't think was a stylization of the whole thing. Like you'd find in, say, SRK and the Shwaryas Devdas, right? But I agree. There were moments where I felt compelled and then other moments where I thought, oh, this feels contrived. So it was that combination, I'm compelled. Oh, that's contrived. Oh, it's compelling. Oh, that's contrived. So again, we never, ever will judge a film by its trailer. And if you guys jump up and down and say, please watch this, this is a really good film, we absolutely would. We do love a good rom-com, right? Yeah, that's, you know me, musicals and rom-coms. Those are my two top favorite things to watch over. And so if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna get pushed away from a rom-com, it's gonna have to really try hard. Also, is this like a remake of a remake? There's like an original one in 1982. Then there's one in 19, at 2009. Well, and they could also just be the same title, because we've seen that too. Yeah. She looked good. I actually thought she looked the best in this. And VJ Ross. VJ Ross is a pair. Is this one of the ones we got? What was this called? What's this film called? Wait, is that one of the ones we got in the box? Uh, what is it called? Sinan? Sinan Teri Kessam. That's all right. Another art. No, it's not that one. No, it's not that one. Okay. No, it's not. Okay. Just making sure. Apparently VJ Ross is in it. Dude, he better not have been on the trailer.   Sorry, I'm just trying to see if there's anybody else in it. So yeah, you guys are gonna have to let us know. We do love rom-coms. What should be like the one of the next rom- I know shower con would technically be rom-com, but outside of shower cons rom-coms. What should we watch? Because he is his own category. Right. Yes. I do. We did get, after the meme review, jumping up and down about a film that she's in that we've wrecked through the trailer. I think it has Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj, and her. Creedie Summon. And Creedie. A lot of people were really jumping up and down for us to watch it. It's a rom-com with Pankaj. I'll see anything she's in now after her turn in and meme-y. I was really, really impressed with her. Yes, right here. Oh yes, I'm yet. We saw the trailer to that. Yes, we've seen the trailer to this film. Apparently, a lot of people really, really enjoyed this film. But really keep barfing? Yes. It's with Ayushman, and Pankaj. Creedie, Rajkumar, and Pankaj. So quite a cast. Yes. He's got Ayushman, Rajkumar, Creedie. Is she a supporting role, a leading role? It looks like she's the main girl. Yes, it looks like she's the main girl. She's probably the love interest. Okay. Oh man. Let's see. With Pankaj and Rajkumar? That's her, right? Yeah. Okay. So you guys tell us if that's a, if you said an Ayushman? Yeah, Ayushman's the lead. Good grief. Yeah, so what should be the next rom-com? I know people would jump out up and down about the bar runs and keep barfing one. But let us know about the one that we just watched from the trailer. And look at that. 116, runtime. Come on. What is that? Hour? It's not even two hours. It's just under two hours. Lately we've been watching a lot of really long films. Like when we first got started. Yeah. So it's, whenever something's like really short like that, like I watched Corello, which I was like 90 minutes. Yeah. What did I recently watch? I mean, college films fly by. Oh my goodness. They feel it's like really? That was the end of it? Yeah. They fly. Anyways, let us know what the next rom-com should be down below.


SCP-450 is the death row block of the abandoned federal penitentiary. In distance from entrance to the execution chamber is approximately 166.5 meters.

They're still grinding it out. Well, these... Woodley's got blood, though. Want some dead ones? There's a lot of blood. Um... I know. I'm a little stiff today. Um... Maybe like a second ice stone?

John, I suppose you can look back in our video archive for 2018 or 2019 Bowman Baseball. See if hopefully I did a recap and you can take a look. I'm going to save one of these paper pita lazos for Mets fan Ryan Harald. There you go. Bonus. Keeber Ruiz to $4.99. Renato Hernandez to $1.50 for the Ruiz. Sub Mike K, what's going on?

What were you saying earlier, Ryan? Ryan Harald? You were saying that, uh, what were you saying about? Oh, Alonzo PSA 10s for $250 to $300 seem like a that seems a little low. I thought, hmm, maybe you'll be the beneficiary of that, Ryan Harald. Buy a couple of those. Hang on to them. And then watch our hashtag good for the hobby scenario. Run it and work itself out, i.e. MVP this year. And then Ryan Harald, all, uh, all Pita Lanzo needs to do. Plastic in there. There you go. It's all the way down there. That's a cleaner top loader there. The other thing that Pita Lanzo needs to do is just win a World Series MVP in the next five years. That PSA 10 rookie Alonzo will be a lot more than two fifty three hundred bucks. I'll tell you that. There's Alvaro Sejas for the Cardinals. That'll be for Ben Young. Mackenzie Gore to 150. Supposed to be a pretty big name as well. Baseball wise. I'm not gonna know about hobby wise, but baseball wise. And we've got Dios Bell Arias to 299 speckle autograph for Mark Bassett and Rangers. These guys, these guys are grinding. Initially, I thought, well, Woodley doesn't look like he's getting getting a lot of hits in, but it might sort of amateur very casual as a casual watching this. Remington in the Royals. John Samuelson is going to disagree with Ryan H. There's Chris Valamant for the twin that goes to John Samuelson. Yeah, maybe maybe Dana White was telling the other guy, hey, don't don't kill him too early. Bring to Ruckus, I think is more familiar with fighting. He's saying that Woodley is usually pretty conservative and Dana White didn't like him as a champ because he thought he was boring. I see. There's a chrome Robert Possum for Richard Zimmerman. Another paper one for you. Now, John Samuelson saying PSA 9's Peter Lonzo's are about 350. The lowest PSA 10 is about 799. But Ryan saying, well, maybe for buying now's, but he himself has been able to pick up some some at a good price. 350ish. Jason Dominguez, top 100. It's already 53 on the Bowman Scouts, top 100 apparently for whatever this is worth, Bradley Marshall. Let's hope that that number keeps going up. Half a box here, half a box here, half a box here, half a box here, half of the last box here, that's to the last box here. Are we talking and let's make sure John and Ryan, are you guys talking about the same card? 2016, what were you saying you were looking at? 2016, are we talking Bowman baseball? 2016 Bowman, okay, okay, we're on the same page. And we've got a Yacelle Della Cruz to 299, Speckle autograph. That's for EA and the Braves. Oh, Woodley's drops again, grabs burns by the leg. This is this is wild here. Wait, do all the other guys only go like two rounds? Alright, another one for Richard Zimmerman. Three for not three rounds for non-main events, got it. So, these guys have an out of five unless the guy gets knocked out. Alright, I get it. Max Muncie to 150, blue paper for the Dodgers. Oh, and championship round. Main events and championship rounds. Ruckus is also adding. We got Jay Har and Carnation. Harar and Carnation to 150 for the Marlins. Oh, Robert Possum, Chrome. Mr. Zimmerman. Oh, we've got an ice pack on his neck. I could use an ice pack on my neck. It doesn't matter. As long as it's straight up tea. Wow, made with real tea. This sounds, this looks refreshing. Alright, so this break brought to you by Straight Up Tea. All natural unsweetened tea. What are the ingredients? Filtered water, tea, citric acid, natural flavors. Do I shake well? I'm assuming I do. If it's natural tea. Ah, listen. Just not. Straight up tea tastes like tea should be because it's made with tea. Straight up. He beat me. Straight up. Pay that man his money. That's some good straight up tea. That sponsorship money straight up tea. There's also, for my daughters, Lina LaVellera. Yeah, that's still stands as the rounder. Still stands as the best poker movie out there. I can't think of any any any other better poker movies that really captures the the essence of of a good game of hold'em. Oh, that's right. Did Lockstock have a poker scene? Why am I blanking on that? I think it did. Yeah, that was the one where they do the the the the poker scene in the boxing ring. And they were and they were the local gangsters were were cheating them. I haven't seen that one in a minute or two. That's a classic Guy Ritchie movie. What's that? Singles? No. There's Brian Matta at a 150 atomic. No. This is dead movies. Straight up. Very popular. I'm more of a Matt Damon guy. Not a Matt Dylan guy. Ford Proctor to 150. Raise. That'll be for Tim Burke, Ford, Proctor and Gamble. And there's out of 499. O'Neal Cruz. Yeah, O'Neal Cruz. Straight up. He's got kind of an eye in there somewhere. If you ever see interviews, Matt Damon talking about rounders, he said that that showdown scene at the I'm assuming everyone's seen that showdown scene is it was the first thing they started shooting with the with Malcolm. They had to do all the Malikovic scenes first. He didn't have that much time. So they did all the Malikovic scenes early in the picture. And he was saying that the first day on the set everyone was buzzing.  You know, this is 90s Malikovic. There was a palpable buzz in the air, Matt Damon recalls. And so they do the showdown scene. They sit down. It's the first time young Matt Damon has met John Malikovic. You know what I mean? Famed John Malikovic. Another Bobby Whit jr. Sits on the table while they do the scene. He gets, he beat me straight up. Hey that man, he's meh. And he said that there was a pause on the set and then a pause. They were just like, Malikovic. Brilliant. And meanwhile Damon was thinking that was the worst Russian accent I've ever heard. That was terrible. And he said that at some point Malikovic leaned over to him, leaned across the table to him looking at him. He said, I'm not a very good actor. But people think I am. Damon appreciated that and they were best friends. I don't know if they were best friends ever since. Funny Damon story. There you go. And now you've heard it. Next time you meet Matt Damon, it'd be like, hey Joe told me about that Malikovic story. There's Jackson Rutledge for Josh Lucas and the national.  Hey that meh. He's meh. I'm not really talking about that tonight, Mac. It's fine out here though. It's on the news. Everson Pereira to $2.99. Speckle. All right. See you next. All right. There's Bobby with Junior Paper. All right. Yeah Bradley, what's going on? I know. We pulled you some, plenty of Dominguez Paper and Chrome. But yeah, we're going to need an auto for you. There's Luis Garcia to $4.99. We definitely need an auto for you. Burns. Burns he went in it. Malcolm Gray, what's going on? Yeah, I hear you, John Samison. We know what's going on out there. We're just, just be safe. Don't get caught up in that and keep our minds focused on the real issue at hand. I know Bradley. All we need is one Jason Dominguez auto. And then we're set. You know what I mean? And then all the Chrome and the Paper Dominguez is our cherries on top. There's Jeremy Pena for Matt Lourge and the Astros. Well, there already has been movement on that Noir Mac McCarthy. That number block needs help. It's already down to five. As soon as I get to that last card right here and if I hit refresh and that number block is not filled up, night night for Joe Jaspy. So we've got to fill it up before this break is over. Dominguez, Bradley Marshall spanning the globe. Dominguez, Chrome, Gunnar Richardson, Henderson to $120. Who's Gunnar Richardson? I must be thinking of someone. Must be thinking of someone. Oh, I know Derek, D, we need to break it but we need to break it in the allotted amount of time. This is also my Friday, Derek D. So my motivation to stay late on a Friday is pretty low. I love you guys but this is my Friday so staying late and convincing people to get into an awesome break. I mean, I'll just let Jason do it tomorrow. So it's up to you.  A Gunnar Richardson fought Rocky and Rocky Six? Is that where I'm getting Gunnar Richardson from? What is Rocky Six? I've got so much just... No, you were kidding. I was gonna be like, did I really just name an actor from Rocky? Dustin May autographed $4.99. Nice. Dustin May Dodgers, Ryan Shackleton won the Dodgers. Started off the break with a Dodger prospect and then now a Dodger rookie. Last jumbo box right here, ladies and gentlemen. Those are halves. We've got Glenn Allen Hill Jr. for Mark Passett and the Diamondbacks. Yeah, Glenn Allen Hill's autograph needs a little work. Maybe it's all crammed into that one spot. Maybe if we just if we just stretched it out, if we took Photoshop and just stretched out that autograph, it'd be okay. It just looks like it's swished. Come on, I want an autograph right here. Come on, Jason Dominguez, Robert Poston, Chrome, Miguel Vargas, Aqua, Shimmer to 125. Come on, Jason. This will go to Richard Zitterman. This will go to Bradley. Yeah, you would think that his dad would have Glenn Allen Hill Jr.'s dad. Pro ball player would have taught him a thing or two. Someone look up Glenn Allen Hill Sr., someone look up his autograph. What does it look like? I'm sure it looks good. All those old school guys' autographs are generally pretty good. Oh, a Dominguez train whistle out of these last two stacks right here. I was mentioning earlier, Brad, that we have not seen a superfracture. We must have done in between all of the jumbo and hobby cases and the jumbo hobby mixers that we did on release day. We have not seen a superfracture. I think Nick's pulled a plate or two, but that's not the same. So if I could end this last box in the last break of the night, unless I have no more fills, with a trinket, I thought it was it for a second, out of 50 Mario Feliciano, who signs all the way up there. I like that. Confidence. That goes to Brady and the Brewers. If we pull a Dominguez superfracture, I mean I don't want to drink it, but that's the next goal out of all of these, you know, is to see a super, I mean really, frankly, I'd take a superfracture from anybody, but if I can choose, beggars can't be choosers, right? But if I could choose, it would definitely be a Dominguez superfracture, auto or non-auto, wouldn't matter. I'll take, I'll take either one. Bobby Whitjr, Chrome, Jay Remington and the Royals. Yeah, Bradley, I would hand deliver that to you for sure. It would have to be, I would have to escape LA. Yeah, I think we did select three already. Yeah, that video is up. We did that an hour or so ago. Yeah, I'd have to escape from LA, get a flawless case and hand cover to my wrist. Now at that point, I just take a, is Jet-X still running? I hop on one of those private jets and just fly over to Dallas and I'll meet you on the runway Bradley and I'll turn around and just fly right back. Right, U.S. Marshall style, yeah. Just, yeah, you heard us watching that. Yeah, U.S. Marshall style. With these big bowman brakes, there's like, there's probably a good chunk of that movie in the background. I mean at this point, with this last stack here, there's Brandon Hallett. With this last stack, I'll take a Dominguez out of five. There's Brandon Hallett, Red Sox autograph, Darren McKenzie, Red Shimmer coming up ladies and gentlemen. I'm saving that right there. Are we done with, I think we're done with autos, maybe one more? I wasn't keeping count. I think we're done with autos, unless that's an auto. Dominguez, Chrome chasing, it's chasing the globe, spanning the globe. Jorge Mateo to $4.99, let's protect the papers here. Is that gonna be an auto? Franklin Perez, not autographed. It's gonna be four out of five Red Shimmer Sam Huff for the Rangers. Mark Beset with Texas. What a way to close it out. There you go. Mack, you're asking who wants noir? It's down to eight or nine. We're waiting on you. The people who already bought noir already wanted it, already got it. We're waiting on you. Hey, Mark Beset, Rangers all aboard the Big Head Express. All right, quick recap. Pretty nice break here. Pick your team 10, Jumbo, A-Box Jumbo. Rangers had a pretty, pretty decent break here. So a lot of good stuff right here. Start it off with a Dodger. There you have it. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. That was Jumbo. Pick your team 10, 2020 Bowman Baseball. Plenty more in the store at jaspyscasebreaks.com. We'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


If we look at the efficiency variance over here, we got the 70,000, we're going to recalculate the efficiency variance. We're going to take a look at the thing that changes from these two over here. We've got these two that we multiply together and subtracted and that's of course going to be the number of hours. So we've got the actual hours and we've got the standard hours. So we've got the actual hours being the 265,000 less or minus the standard hours of 270 and we have the difference being the 5,000 then if we multiply that times the standard rate, that being 14, that will give us the 70,000 and once again is it favorable or unfavorable? Well, we're comparing the actual hours less the standard hours. The actual hours were less than what we budgeted or the standard hours were therefore it's going to be a favorable difference. And just to want to point out that these are usually the things that people get confused of when we have the formula format here. So when you look at the rate variance and you get down to here, you've got to multiply times the actual hours and when you're looking at the efficiency variance, you want to be multiplying times the standard rate once you get to that last calculation within the formula. So let's keep that in mind.


U.S. warns Ukraine that war is reaching pivotal point. As the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, U.S. officials have informed Ukrainian authorities that a critical moment is approaching to change the trajectory of the war. The Washington Post informs about it. The war in recent months has become a slow grind in eastern Ukraine, with neither side gaining the upper hand. Biden officials believe the critical juncture will come this spring when Russia is expected to launch an offensive and Ukraine mounts a counter-offensive in an effort to reclaim lost territory. The critical nature of the next few months has reportedly already been explicitly stated by Kiev by senior Biden officials, including John Finer, Deputy National Security Advisor Wendy Sherman, Deputy Secretary of State and Colin Karl, Undersecretary of Defense, all of whom visited Ukraine last month. In addition, a week before these officials visited, CIA Director William Burns visited Ukraine. He briefed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Russia's military plans for the coming months and emphasized the urgency of the moment. The Biden administration is currently working with Congress to approve another $10 billion in direct budgetary aid to Kiev and is expected to announce another major military aid package next week and impose new sanctions on the Kremlin around the same time. On the eve of the one-year anniversary of the full-scale war, the West is also seeking to signal to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin that support for Ukraine is not waning. But some experts warn that neither Russia nor Ukraine will gain a decisive military advantage in the foreseeable future. Biden and his top aides say they are determined to support Ukraine for as long and as fully as possible. But they warn that the policy course could become tougher after Ukraine exhausts the current congressional aid package, which could happen as early as this summer. At the same time, according to the news outlet, there is underlying Western tension over how Ukraine should focus its resources in the coming months. It is noted that for many months Ukraine has spent significant resources and troops defending Bakhmut in eastern Donbas. However, American military analysts are convinced that it is unrealistic to simultaneously defend Bakhmut and launch a spring counteroffensive to regain the territories temporarily occupied by Russia. The United States considers the liberation of land more important. U.S. officials believe that if Ukraine continues to fight wherever Russia sends troops, it will work in Moscow's favor. Therefore, they urged Ukraine to prioritize the timing and conduct of the spring counteroffensive, especially as the United States and Europe train Ukrainian soldiers to use the most sophisticated weapons that are already appearing on the battlefield. In addition, U.S. intelligence officials believe that the liberation of the heavily fortified Crimean peninsula is beyond the capabilities of the Ukrainian army.


The Pikeville Police Department received a report this week from a local resident that she had been contacted through Facebook by a person claiming to be associated with country musician Brantley Gilbert, who is scheduled to perform in Pikeville this year during this year's Hillbilly Day celebration. Pikeville 9-1-1 Public Safety Director Paul Maynard said the person offered tickets to the alleged victim, but then asked for a suspect form of payment to complete the transaction. They had been befriended by someone identifying themselves either as or a part of his entourage or crew and sure enough when it came down time to actually receive the tickets they were going to need a form of payment first and they asked for an iTunes card so quickly found out that it probably wasn't true and once she started looking into it magically it all disappeared so you know we just want to make sure everybody out there understands that you know Facebook's a wonderful tool it's a great way to keep up with family and events going around the community but it's also a place you need to be really careful on as well. Maynard said anyone using any form of social media should be aware that scammers could target them at any time. He said anyone who believes they may be the target of a scammer should cease communication with the other party immediately and under no circumstances share personal or banking information.


What do you like about Jordan love Dave McGinnis? He's got the physical attributes and the traits He throws a real pretty ball. He really does and when you watch what they did, you know at Utah State sometimes It didn't quite relate to what he's going to do, but he's got the physical traits He's not a guy that's going to get out there and just run but he can maneuver the pocket He has got so many Recognizable traits that you look at that you know that you can develop if somebody is a quarterback hungry club This is one guy that you would take after the top three Mike He has athletic skills galore while he didn't answer all the questions at the combine in those drills about Accuracy or decision-making because that's only in game situation specific stuff He's got the measurables with the athletic part of it reminds us a lot of a Colin Kaepernick when he came out What do you like about Justin Herbert from Oregon and Dave McGinnis? How high can he go in the first round the fifth pick? I think that to me is about his ceiling in this thing He's got a really good arm I mean he's got the height when you're at the combine and not only at the combine Mike But you're listening to all the talk some people try to take good attributes and try to ding holes in him now Some people are saying he might be too tall. It's just like somebody's too fast. You know as a receiver He's got the requisite skills He's gonna have to be developed But I think that that he could be a target for the Dolphins as high as the fifth pick Washington's Jacob Eason is not on your list of first-rounders. Why first of all huge arm Big prototypical size quarterback kid former starter at Georgia gets hurt Transfers, but the reports out of Indianapolis as that the interview process did not go well The reason he's not in the top group in my opinion is two things accuracy and decision-making Those two things to me when I watch tape and look at him He's got a big arm, but he's not accurate and his decision-making that you can see on tape to coach max point more of a first-read guy Not a first second third read guy and make a throw in terms of the decision-making of the accuracy part Jake from what does he bring to the table and does he figure to be a day-to-pick in your opinion? He's a day-to-pick in my opinion, but just on the opposite side of the spectrum from what we've just been talking about That's why Jake from ran off some starters two of them in particular and here's why he's accurate He's dependable. He's an excellent decision-maker. He does not get rattled He doesn't have great arm strength, but he's a distributor of the football is Oklahoma's Jalen hurts almost a wild card in this quarterback draft he absolutely is and I think he was a guy that had something to prove going into Indianapolis because he's kind of the forgotten guy behind the tier of quarterbacks that we've been talking about Measured in at 6-1 222 pounds hands 9 and 3 quarter inches ran a 4 5 4 40 fastest among quarterbacks He is a leader. He is a team first guy I mean everyone knows what he did when he left Alabama and how he Handled it so well losing his starting job to Tuatonga Veloa and then going to Oklahoma and having a nice year there I think he showed the arm strength and accuracy Improvement in those drills in Indianapolis, but the biggest thing I like about him is Mike He's a winner. He knows how to win a football game when he watched his workout He exceeded what people thought he was going to do at the combine workout the quarterback coaches that I talked with up there This is a perfect backup quarterback immediately in his career in the National Football League because he brings that element of Athleticism that sometimes if you have to put him into a ballgame he can create plays some guys Just have it as far as being able to move a team. He can do that quarterback named Steve Montez from Colorado Where do you think he figures to be selected? Why do you like him? He's six four two hundred and thirty one pounds He ran a four six eight forty got a thirty three vertical jump nine seven broad So what I'm saying with these numbers. He's got athletic ability. He left Colorado with nine thousand five hundred and sixty nine yards Passed this guy is a high character guy. He's got a thickly built lower to me He's got a strong arm the issues with him. He's got an elongated delivery. You're gonna have to get that out of him He's not a ready-made product, but he's got enough a requisite physical skills And then he's got production collegiate leave that you can look at and it's six four two hundred and thirty one pounds with that type of Developmental characteristics. That's why he intrigues me to me. He will be a second-day guy to somebody Why is James Morgan a prospect to watch? He is prototypical size quarterback six four two twenty nine Hands plenty big nine and six eighths inches arms thirty three and three eighths wingspan seventy nine inches Jim rat leader Team guy at Florida International where he was a two-year starter had great showing there had a good showing at the Combine Showed the arm strength. He can throw it.  He's a quarterback in the national football league Jake from has had a lot of rest sir in in high school in the state of Georgia Which is great ball and then in the southeastern conference as well You love those guys who've played a lot of quarterback You're not bringing him in to save your franchise But you you're bringing him in to might be able to guide your franchise after he's been simmered a little


Today, Tennessee tries to even the series with Indianapolis. Defensively, Mike, we've got to match the tempo of this offense. We need to get turnovers also. Borders with a great catch!

I mean, listen, when you want to get a team back in that fashion on the road in their place, that's how you want to do it. Get it done early. Wow. We got a lot to talk about, but first of all, good Thanksgiving. Man, excellent. Fried turkey was good. Had a small little gathering at the house. No more than eight people, so we're good. So it was all follow protocol. But then the rules. The rules. Masked up.  So let's do this thing. Let's kick off our show and do four downs with Eddie presented by course and fire and security. And look, the man stole the show first down here Eddie Henry.  It looked like it was going to be that all game long, but his 27 carries this technically is a carry that was a lateral. They would they would rule it. 178 yards, three TDs. Man, just took over early often and the last run of last week's game when he cut back and won they won it over time. Okay. Yeah. That I think there was definitely a carry over into this one earlier on. So there was momentum that he was feeling in his skies is full of big moments. Yes.  So powerful in the open field. Introduce the new jump cut coming back able to reverse and feel this become has become the ultimate weapon in terms of running back power, speed. Yeah. Vision, tenacity. Yes. Leadership. Yes. Everything. He took it. He took that into the first half of that game and it was over after the first two possessions. Yes. I will not be stopped today. You talk about that so much. You talk about how he warms up throughout the game. He's doing that throughout the season and now here we are in December and it's it's pain time for the rest of the team. This is what I wanted to look at though. This little sequence of events right here. First of all, this play happens. Derrick gets this little pitch out and lays Taylor Stalworth into the dirt right there. That stiff arm, your face into the ground, sir. That's how you do it.  All right. So fine. Lays him out a few plays later on another series. We would score on this. He doesn't get much momentum here and Stalworth finishes this tackle here, but as he gets up, he kicks Henry in the head, talks trash and just watch Henry looking at him, staring him down, staring him down, staring him down. And from there Eddie, pain, rest of the game. He targeted them. You had games like that where somebody just said said the wrong thing too early. Absolutely. You dialing that number. Okay. 78 Stalworth. Okay. I got you. Got you. I got you. I got you. And that was the game. I let my pads you to talk. Yeah. So fun to watch. All right. Moving on to second down.  I'm just you know, you're like, okay, my touch is something that really hits it. I'll be doing the yeah, hats off to the old line. This is some of the most impressive interior run blocking I had seen all year. I think it was the best performance of the offensive line all year without a doubt. I think it started back about a week ago.  Just looking. Look at this block. David left. Right. They are getting his first start and plays lights. That's in itself is an awesome miracle. But to come out and play and do an outstanding job of pass protection, run blocking, really creating a new line of scrimmage. And that's when Derrick is having a big game like that, the offensive line is doing a fantastic job. Coming off is playing nasty. And Nate Davis as well has just been playing out of this world. So, considering the fact that they lost their number one tackle, Taylor LeWine. And his backup. And his backup. And they're still playing at a high level. Man, that is really impressive that they've been able to dominate. Not just get by with a pass work offensive line but have one of the best offensive line in the league is really unheard of and phenomenal. And doing it now late in the season, going into December, just speaks volumes to the coaching and getting it done. But this O-line coming together. And you know, last year, I think it was against the Colts. Quesembourg caught a touchdown pass early in season. One of the first few games of the season. And we made a big deal of it. But this was his game. Yes, it was. It was amazing to see. All right, moving on to third down. You know, of course, we've got to talk about AJ. Got to talk about the receiving threats. We still have AJ Brown monster game again, almost 100 yards, as well as Corey Davis. Three clutch grabs for 70 yards. So the receiving threat is still there. Again, balanced offense, Eddie. Balanced offense. You have two big-time playmakers. And AJ Brown, Derek Henry, and a possession threat like Davis. I think that's when you have balance. Now it's like pick your poison. You can either bring eight or nine in the box and have a threat of AJ taking it to the house on a slant or a go route. Or on just moving the chains, Davis has been a phenomenal, at least having, in my opinion, an all-pro type season because he's been clutch. Not huge numbers, not big plays, but just the little things. It's a big first down, fourth down catch, clutch plays dialed in, focused. He's been phenomenal. This offense has been pressing me on all fronts. Receivers, offensive line, run game, quarterback. When they're hitting on all cylinders, there's not a defense that can stop them. And next man up kind of thing, too. Everybody's contributing. Moving on, finally, fourth down here. The defense of toughness, toughness. This game to me, offensively, we did what we're supposed to do. This defense really stepped up though. Finally, getting to the quarterback there, creating punts, the pressure, but it's also guys like Will Compton getting in there, Breon Borders getting in there. David Long, a lot of people don't know this. We talked about Corey tragically losing his brother. David Long also lost his brother recently and he had a monster game. So these guys are really pulling together and- At the right time. At the right time, they're being dominant. They're gelling at the right time. Earlier this year, third downs was a big issue with this defense, giving up big plays. The secondary was an issue. Now that they seem to tighten things up a little bit in the back end, getting the pass rush, made a couple of moves in the off season, in the middle of the season with some key players. And now we're starting to see them gel at the right time, playing dominant defensive football and situational football as well. So it's been good. Titans run for, I think, a 229 total rushing yards as a team, Colts 56. There you go. That's defense for you. Guys, you know, 15 minutes can save you 15% or more on your car insurance. With that, we'll go to break with our Geico fast. 15, stick around. Titans Blitz will be right back. River's going deep downfield and the ball is intercepted. Borders with a great catch. Henry on the left side. No, Tana held up. Yeah, finger. Onside coming. The Titans catch it. AJ Brown. Two yards to keep this game moving on. You see what you're made of when you go through something tough. Steady rainfall. And yeah, it's been a tough year. But Tennesseans are built for this. Grid passed down through generations. We look for it. We like it that way. It's back, baby. Tennessee Tough. Tennessee Tough and Dean, welcome back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. Half time here on the show. Recently, we played one of our favorite games that we play in stadium with a fan at home. And here it is. Take a look. Hanging out on the line right now with none other than Lady Hype. Lady Hype, how you doing? Yes, hey, I'm fine. How you doing? Oh, I am great now that I'm talking to you. Listen, I like your whole get up here. I'm going to try the blue lips maybe sometime in the game. You look great. This looks good.  Yes. Everybody loves to play this in stadium. Of course, we're bringing it to you at home. Here's how it goes. I'm going to show you an item. Then you have 20 seconds to guess the price of that item that I will tell you if you need to go higher or lower right now though. Duke is going to tell you all about it. Duke, what is she bidding on? Raying plenty of essentials into nature with the Academy Sports and Outdoors folding sports wagon with removable bed. This wagon is made with a powder coated steel frame to withstand continued use and features heavy duty rubber wheels for smooth movement. Includes a removable polyester bed liner. All right, Lady Hype, you got to beat the clock. Are you ready to go? Yes, I'm excited. 20 seconds, here we go, hit it. 39, 49, 59, 59, 49, 59, 50. Lower. 48, 49, 50. Lower. 47, 46, 45, 44, 43. There you go, you got it. Congratulations, you just won a $100 gift card to Academy Sports and Outdoors. You can get you some more gear and continue that hype thing you got going on. Yes. Can I say it? Yes, please, I want to hear you say it. I know, guys. And there she is now, Lady Hype. Hey, congrats. It's a little different look today. You got it. It's good to see who got with you. My husband, Hype Man. What's up, Hype Man? Hype Man. I was gonna say, I hope you know someone's there with you. Now, that's a good mask, but I don't think it's COVID compliant. Hey, did we send you the gift card already? Do you have it? Not yet. Not yet, okay. I'm gonna get somebody, yep. Okay, we're gonna get somebody fired. If it doesn't get to you soon, I'm just clearing that with my previous, no, I'm kidding. Congratulations. Thank you. Hey, you gonna watch the game this weekend? Yeah, of course. What's your name? I got a question in the bag. Give us a score call real quick. 40 to seven. 40 to seven. Okay, we'll take that. We'll take that. We are taking, it holds to it. And make sure you keep that blue lipstick on too. We like that, that's a good look. That's the good look charm right there. All right, we'll have some blue lipstick in a little bit. Hey, on the other side, we're gonna talk about this game against the Browns coming to town. Stick around, Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. Gonna keep your mask on. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz, presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. It is the two minute warning here on the show. So we're gonna talk about this game coming up. The Cleveland Browns, they're eight and three. Eight and three? We're eight and three? Yes, sir. They're eight and three is ugly though. They struggled against Jacksonville last week. Yeah, but. I know we lost the bangles, whatever. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Playoff game yet again. Yeah. Because it's that season. That point in the season. And listen, they're running the football extremely well and the number one rushing team in the league were number two. So something has to give, which defense is gonna show up and stop whoever's running the game? I think that's gonna be the case. Whoever establishes the run, we can control this game really. That's the first key. That's the first key. That's the first key is you gotta stop that run game because Nick Chubb is kind of a mini Derek Henry in a way. He likes to stiff arm too and he keeps his legs journey. And when he takes a breather, it's Kareem Hunt. So. Yeah. This duo reminds me of Mac and Biner back in the day. Oh. When they had the old Doll Pound days. Wow, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's that duo. And they're really relying on both backs to lay the hammer down and take pressure off of Baker Mayfield. Their offensive line is playing nasty football in the trenches. They're unforgiving. They're relentless. And these guys don't give up on a run. And there's a duo punch right there. And it's going to be old school football. You know, bad weather might be. Doesn't matter. Rain, see the snow. The mail will be delivered by one of these teams. So hopefully we can slow that run game down. Yeah, hopefully, hopefully not. I feel more comfortable playing them now given where our defense is and having progressed as, you know, if we'd played them say third game of the season. Second key to victory here, Bate Mayfield. In other words, disguise those defensive looks, those packages that we have out there because this guy will hold onto the ball and force and throws. And he can get frustrated easily. Listen, Baker had a fantastic rookie season, a sophomore slump, and still on the fence if he can actually, you know, take over a game. But he's making some nice throws as of lately. He's protecting the football. They're protecting him up front. Great protection.  So if we can bait him like you talked about into making mistakes, that will lead to a victory for us as well. And I think we can get the job done for. Third key to victory here, get the ball out quick. Miles Garrett, active. He is active and he is ready and he is a problem. So if by chance our run game isn't where it needs to be, we've got to have that short passing game because they are coming with their ears pinned back. This is when John New Smith comes into play. You know, the tight end game. Humphreys. Humphreys is coming back, another possession type receiver. So that short quick game is going to be paramount. And they may build that in to their offense this week. But I think Mike Rable likes to establish the run, rely on that play action, and that can also slow miles down. But what you don't want is to get in third long situations where that big fella can eat. That's what he wants. He wants to hunt. Yes. And he can hunt. He's all going to trench us. So it's going to be a battle of wills in the offensive line against Miles Garrett this week. It's an interesting test coming off the last two games that we have. The overtime win against the Ravens. And then the Colts game we took care of business. This is sort of a mini playoff in and of itself. Can you win big games back to back to back? Well, you think about it. This is a big game. Baltimore to care business against Baltimore. That was to get back into contention. The vision game last week. Okay, now this is another one, eight and three teams going up against each other to get another a foothold on their position in the down the division, but also in the wild card playoff races. We don't know how it's going to end. So it's playoff time. Taking care of business. All right, look, I want to talk more about Cleveland, which you know a thing or two about playing against. Cleveland, we'll talk about on the other side. Stick around, Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. You had a good game. You had a good game. These smart years are even coming across virtually. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, they are saying, welcome back to the Titans Blitz, presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. It is overtime here on the show. Lance and Eddie back with you. Reminder this Sunday, Code Blue here at Nissan Stadium. Now I realize that we don't want to have a packed house, but you can post pictures on social and get ready. That's all I'm saying. It's this nice code blue, code blue, baby. Hold that one, my friend. Look at this. And I want to put this on. Code blue this weekend. So this stuff is going to be nice, man. It's going to be nice. It's going to be very nice. Code blue against the Browns. I'll take blue over brown any day. Hey, also, too, remember the raffle. Check this out. What are we up to now? Jackpot's up to $18,390. Make sure you log on to tennesseetitans.com slash raffle proceeds benefit the Titans Foundation. This is brought to you by Titans and Bet MGM. You can win up to $100,000. So get as many raffle tickets as you want. And I hope you win. All right, so we've got this game coming up. We've been talking about it, the Browns coming to town. You know, it's funny, Derek had 178 yards and three TDs. And it was December 16, 2000. Someone I know had 176 yards and three TDs on 34 carries. Oh, and it was in the snow, Eddie. Yeah, it's a cold. Where I needed this hat, man. It was a cold day. Went till was like 20 to negative 10.  I always believed that no matter the season, whether it was hot, cold, winter, whatever, it didn't matter. I'm going to be the same. We're going to play the same way every single time. At some point in this game, though, were you thinking, man, I wish I had some sleeves? That was a lot of fun. Yes, but I went to the sideline. If you see me come off the sideline at the one of those touchdowns, I ran straight past Jeff Fisher. Give me my jacket because it was freezing. So I needed one of these hats. It's cold blue here every time I stepped off the field. Look, we only got about a minute left. But I'm really curious, when you're playing a game like that, and you know, I mean, you're one of the best to ever do it. When you're in a zone, when do you know you're in that zone? You don't know. You just feel it. And you don't recognize it. You don't say, hey, I'm in a zone. You're locked in and focused on one specific thing. And that's to dominate. That's to get a first down. That's to impose your will every single time. The moment that you say, oh, God, what's happening? That's when you step out of it. You just trust the moment. You breathe in the moment. You just go with the ebbs and flow of that moment. Good, bad, or indifferent. You just look and respond. And that's it. Just feel and respond. Feel and respond. So you really only recognize you were in the zone in hindsight? In hindsight, yeah. I've been there a couple of times. Like tonight, I'm just reading and responding. He's feeling it. It's fun to watch. It obviously won't be snowing here, but maybe we can get another one of those performances from Derek Henry against the Browns. I'm excited about it again. It is code blue. Code blue all day, baby. Make sure you post it on your socials. As always, tighten up. We've got a victory coming to us. I can feel it. I got it too, yeah. Mask up. Tighten up. See you next week. Good on you. Nice mask.


From Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering VMworld 2018. Brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem partners. Welcome back to theCUBE here in VMworld 2018. Joining me is my guest host, John Troyer and I'm Stu Miniman. And coming to the program, it's hard to believe for a first time, Jay Krohn, who's a senior consultant storage portfolio with Dell EMC. And I say that just to give our audience a little bit of context. Jay works for Dell EMC, but we both work for a company called EMC back in the day. And Jay has had a number of roles where he's brought lots of people on the program, has known theCUBE since its inception. Yet, you know, ninth year doing it and now you've made it. Right, I'm finally here. All right, so Jay, give our audience a little bit of your background and what you're working on these days. So I'm a long-term storage veteran. As Stu said, I worked for the old EMC back when the only product we had was SCSI connected symmetrics, you know, and have been through the fiber channel wars. You know, I've been through the SAS wars, the SATA wars, the SSD wars. And I'm now working on a couple of cross portfolio programs. The one we're here to talk about today is the Future Proof Loyalty Program. Yeah, and for our audience, that doesn't know what a SCSI connector is. It was this really fat plug that plugged in. It had actual pins that were like designed for. Lots of wires. On and off, so those kind of protocols, you know, have kind of changed and everything, but you know, when I interviewed at EMC in 2000, it was like, oh, that connection that I would take two computers and connect them. That was a SCSI cable and it was relatively short length. So wow, we can go down memory lane here. But Jay, you're talking about something specific. We talk about the future and it's tough to predict it, but Dell's going to make sure that everything's Future Proof, right? Of course. All right, what's that mean? What's interesting, back in the day, we were competing and innovating primarily just in the technology dimension. And a lot of us are technologists. We've had a fun time doing that, but as people have gotten more sophisticated about the way they buy technology, they're looking for other assurances that vendors are going to be there for them when something goes wrong. So there are nine different, what we call offers or pillars in the Future Proof program that are really intended to give customers peace of mind, probably most importantly, protect their investment, the money that they spend on IT. And to your point, give them a path forward. So what we've done is looked across the inventory of things that Dell EMC already offered. Many of these were business practices that we already had in place. And what we've done is turned up the volume and made them more, basically more visible to customers and to our selling forces. And the response has been really good. And the financial ones, of course, are the ones that people, shall we say, gravitate to at the beginning, because when they're making a purchase, whether it's effectively an extended warranty or a trade-in credit on their old stuff, think of it, when you go buy a car, you get a trade-in, so you're protecting the investment you made in the car. These are all things that customers are interested in getting. And we get from Dell EMC. Okay, and just in case people didn't catch it, I think the umbrella for the program is the Dell EMC Future-Proof Loyalty Program. Is that it? Okay. And one of the things that's important for folks that have been watching, it was started originally as the Future-Proof Storage Loyalty Program, because it was generated out of our storage business. And what happened is the customers and salespeople were so excited about it, they said, can you add more? And we said, yes, we can. And so in July, for example, we added data protection, the IDPA DP4400 product, along with a guarantee specifically tailored for that product. We're here, one of the reasons that I'm here, and we're here at VMware, is we added VX Rail on Monday. And I mean, that one's extremely exciting because even before it was officially in the program, we helped a customer with a six-figure purchase through one of the Future-Proof benefits. And then we have another, we have an eight-figure deal in the wind right now on VX Rail based on some of the pillars of the Future-Proof Program. And so, Jay, when you're talking about some of the, you know, you're talking about some of the pillars, some of the motivators for the customer then, I mean, some of it's just the transparent financial, some of it's kind of de-dupe and storage guarantees. Correct. All those, you're including all those. Correct, correct. And then, because part of it is to make, bring Dell and EMC together was complex, or created some complexity and some confusion, shall we say. So part of the reason we created this program was to make it simpler to consume and to make some of these things easier to find. Well, right, right.  Enterprise hardware has always been a little bit mysterious. Like, how does it cost? Well, how much money do you have? And then I'll tell you how much it costs and shady, I mean, not shady, but discounts. And it's not very, it's very opaque. But like, a lot of these things are real clear. Out in the open, actually, I just went through the website, like, we guarantee you're going to get this, you can do this in three years or five years, we guarantee this, and it's pretty upfront. Exactly, I mean, what you mentioned is the, the clear price maintenance program. I mean, again, as we all know, there were some pricing practices with customers that were neither clear nor predictable on maintenance renewals. And so that's been something that's been extremely exciting. That is, in fact, one of the things the VxRail folks are excited about, where what ends up happening from a customer perspective is when they get the quote, the quoting system automatically generates your prepaid maintenance price and your renewal price, either three years or five years from now, depending upon the contract you pick. And it's right there on the paper, and I can't get clearer and I can't get more predictable. You know, here's what you're going to pay now and here's what you're going to pay later. As a cultural shift, was there any kind of discussion internally about, well, wait a minute, sometimes I hold these, I hold a couple points for a partner, I hold a couple points to make sure I get a deal. Was there a discussion about the change in culture being so? Well, it's, yes, is the short answer. I'll say it was a culture change, but what's happened is the industry has shift. We don't use SCSI cables anymore and that maintenance pricing practice has pretty much been voted down by the customer.  And so, and part of what I want to, what I want to say is the innovation is not only in the products, we're doing some innovation on the business side as well. Yeah, Jay, I'm curious, you know, we've said on theCUBE many times, the bar that customers will measure everything against is how they do things in the cloud. So, how I consume it, how I think about it. But one of the challenges of the cloud is sometimes there's uncertainty as to what that bill's going to be next month. Right. So, maybe you could give us a compare contrast as to what you've learned and is there a comparison between this program and what you've done in the whole So, this program is targeted at the infrastructure products. So, it's not so much to compare against the cloud pricing itself. However, what we've done here also announced this week as part of the larger Dell EMC cloud marketplace is what we call the cloud consumption models. And this is a couple of the cloud financing programs. Again, that were already in place from Dell financial services. They give customers the ability, if they really want to buy infrastructure that they put in their data centers in an OPEX model, you can do that.  There's a couple of really exciting high velocity, they call it Flex On Demand Velocity for Unity and X2. Where, again, there's a rate card so you're not coming in and having the sales person sharpen the pencil and say, here's what the price is. So, they'll come in with a rate card on how to consume that. And when we take a look at that pricing model versus both some of our system vendor competitors, as well as some of your, shall we say, more prominent cloud competitors, as Michael said, the cloud is an operating model, not a place. And if you want to have that operating model for the way you pay for the infrastructure, buying an extreme IO capacity for us with the cloud model is cheaper than buying SSD capacity from one of the cloud providers. All right, Jay, I want to give you the final word. I believe there's a website, people want to find out more. What is the final takeaway you'd want people to have about this program? Well, basically, investment protection is number one. Peace of mind is really important. There are a number of guarantees about product performance. And as we've said, the future is right. We're giving you a way to go there. All right, Jay Crone, pleasure to catch up with you on camera as it is always off camera. For John Troyer, I'm Stu Miniman, back with more coverage here, the Cube VMworld 2018. Thanks for watching.
