out there in wiki tree land. Yes and hello to you Mindy. I'm here with Kieran Lowe who was of course the fabulous captain for the challenge week of Olivia Newton-John and I'll apologize ahead of time if I have some kind of leg or something with my communications here because I'm still having a little bit of internet issues but we're going to power through this anyways. So Kieran, how do you feel the week went? Oh I had a great time and I thought it went really well. We had over three dozen researchers working with us that had registered for our challenge and you know we always have those invisible friends in the background that like to follow along and help us out and stay out of the spotlight just building the branches together. It was very collaborative week. Yeah I agree it was it was really fun seeing that many people in chat you know and we always have somebody going since it is a global site but yeah with almost 40 people registered and then those ones like you said that are behind the scenes helping out there was a lot of people participating this week it was exciting. Yes and so many different areas to research we had folks working in Wales and folks working in Germany on Lutheran families and in Poland on Jewish families I was working on some modern families that any Australians watching will know like Olivia's niece Toddy Goldsmith has probably been on just about every television program in Australia for many years. Yeah and it was really interesting having like you said so many locations and you know we had pressure added to that we had an area that we got to learn a lot about this week which was coal which was East Frisia and yes I had to look that up because geography world geography is not my forte but really fun to learn about and luckily you know we had Guillaume there to explain the changes over the different years there were many of them many more boundary lines. Yes I know he learned a lot this week and the rest of us you know some of us Americans not known for our European geography expertise but we learned about East Frisia upon the North Sea that has influences from Germany and and from the Netherlands as well and Guillaume Albassini in Europe found so many interesting finds this week all of the members did around the world but there was just quite a line of interesting folks there in East Frisia. Right and you know I know that Olivia's background has been looked at before but from what I can tell they primarily researched her Welsh lines and showed those to her so she was pretty excited at that point because you know she didn't realize she had those Welsh ancestors but of course you know for the Wikitree challenge we do all the branches so right you know we we got to look at those ones like the Germans and those areas and yes there were just so many notables in her branches it was fun. Right and and then looking at the Welsh side I know Hilary Gadsby was doing all kinds of work in Wales and it's funny even myself I didn't realize so many names that those of us in the US just think about oh it's an American name or it's an English name they're they're really Welsh you know when you look at and it's a country where over half of the population shares just 10 names and those definitely came up this week I think we I saw John of course is a Welsh name it's like 27th most popular in Wales and we had some Howell research and and Howells came in at like number 29 and and Richards 20 but I know where Hilary and others really had some fun is when they start working on Morgan and Williams and Evan because Evans is like the number four name and Williams is the third most popular name in Wales and she had two branches of Williams family. Yeah I was going to say John Williams is not a name you wanted to have to search for and thank goodness for Hilary's patience and you know her dedication to staying on task because she did an awesome job with those lines. And hearing that people are researching you know particularly Hilary researching someplace and oh that's just down the road you know that the beauty of working on a global tree on a global challenge where we have people who can say oh yes I can actually go to that graveyard this week and folks going to special libraries like their family history libraries and and regional archives you know that's what's really fun when we work together around the world. I saw someone said they have low in their family and I'll tell you that personally my surname used to be Lau, L-A-U and it comes from Alsace from that part of France that has a lot of German speakers and has been tossed back and forth between France and Germany over the years just like there was the oh the dog was called Frisia that's right that's a no I'm thinking of Forcifia I was going to say that's a yellow hedge but no that's Frisia is a plant as well isn't it that's funny now I have to go look up Frisia that it's a little little white flower so I hope you know I'll get to um Frisia uh go ahead oh I was going to say I I stuck that dash 866 at the end of my name because that's my wiki tree ID so anyone who wants to go see my uh low family especially if you're from east Tennessee and you like to say Lau instead of low check out my wiki tree ID there and let's find out how we're cousins that's always fun so were you going to talk tell us uh about what was going on in east Frisia this week you know I I'm going to get to those but I wanted to start out with one of our um gentlemen that went from England to Wales first and that would be James Newton and you know that once again these names were all so similar and bless her heart Hilary just stuck in there and kept looking and several other people did too um there were a lot of people working on these lines but James was at least a little bit amusing because uh we were talking about the landlords and the bar keeps you know and she was saying how he was charged with and pled guilty to selling adulterated whiskey so for those that don't know that's where they go in and they either use inferior products and they say it's high end whiskey or they go in and they color the cheaper whiskey to look like the better whiskey so at any rate they were um find either 40 shillings a month or sorry 40 shillings or a month imprisonment so you know if it were me as a business owner I'm sure 40 shillings was a lot but I would just pay that and not do the month in jail right closing the bar for a month that would be quite a hit to the business but I wonder what happened to the pub's reputation I mean if if in if they were in Cardiff you know that's probably not the only pub in town and it seems like these sort of stories are why now countries like the UK and the US take their liquor laws so seriously and they're very interested in measures you know in bars getting an accurate pour not having your thumb on the scale when you're drawing those those shots and and making sure that the product you're selling is is what is being advertised right you know and like you said a group of them and the standards there weren't standards really back then as much as far as quality but you know they said a group of landlords and barkeepers so you know were they all playing poker one night and got to talking about it and said hmm you know we can make some more money if we just all water down the way guys think especially that second or third shot you know who's gonna notice yep the temptation to put one over on the customers must have been too strong okay so we're gonna move next to everhard as Bachmeister and he of course was in Germany now this is Olivia Newton-John's sixth great-grandfather so and so he's way back there in 1684 he became the personal physician of the young prince of East Frisia he accompanied Christian everhard von Ostfriesland I know I'd say that wrong and his mother the princess on there are many many journeys and you know at one point the prince actually contracted smallpox and he cured him of the symptoms so you know and back then of course they just didn't have the the healthcare and you know vaccinations and all the stuff we do now so those were some pretty serious diseases oh for sure yeah I know smallpox was one of the ones that really helped us pioneer vaccinations when we learned that we could infect someone with cowpox which was a much less serious disease but it was so similar that you could build some immunity but of course that would have been a hundred two hundred years in the future here from everhard trying to take care of his prince because boy you can only imagine what would have happened to him if if that smallpox case had turned out to be fatal it might have been fatal for the doctor as well right and you know even during our lifetimes I mean you know my my children when they were born we didn't have a chickenpox vaccination so you know the way to make your children handle chickenpox okay and survive it was when you found a family member or a friend that called up and said hey little Johnny has chickenpox you loaded the kids up and you took them over there and you had a chickenpox party right because the younger they are you know as long as it's not a baby the younger they are the better they deal with it and recover from it um chickenpox and in a teenager can be fatal and you know so you went and you got had your kids all catch chickenpox at the same time and then you know then you just put them all in one bed and bring them snacks and stuff like that and keep out of school at the same time and now of course they have chickenpox vaccinations so my grandchildren have vaccinations against it yes yes I was um one of those babies who got it and they did have the vaccine when my daughter was young but I remember a time when someone in the family had gotten chickenpox and I thought my daughter did too but it wasn't really pox she was allergic to the antibiotics I was giving her for her ear infection and so every four hours nothing ever scabbed or you know turned into a chickenpox sore she just broke out and hides every four hours until I realized what was going on and then she got the vaccine so hopefully she won't have to suffer from shingles which comes up for those of us who have had chickenpox good morning to Stephen glad folks are here yeah definitely not something you want to mess with and then I'm going to move over to Martin Luther you know and of course I'm sorry but you see Martin Luther in your brain automatically wants to do Martin Luther King but it's not we're going way way back in Olivia's tree and this would be her 12th great-grandfather I believe yes he is and he was a reverend and a doctor and he was best known for shaking up the religious world with his 95 theses which of course started the Protestant Reformation movement so you know he was very very big in religion and I love this with like with a stained glass of him Luther before the diet of worms I'm not sure what the story is behind that but I'll let him have that diet because no thank you but just fascinating the different you know occupations and the varied areas of discoveries that these guys found during the week right for sure and of course Martin Luther King being named for Martin Luther because you know we think of Dr. King as a civil rights activist which of course he was but it was his Christian faith that really informed his activism and his belief of course that all of the children of God deserved the opportunity you know to have a fair and peaceful life here here in the US right and then I'm going to do one last one in East Frigia and that would be Frederick Wilhelm Halem and he was in Emden in 1786 so still way back there as a general practitioner and he had a very lucrative practice but and he did some scientific work on the side I mean you know the the minds of these educated ancestors is just amazing how much they came up with but he actually wound up being the state physician for East Frigia and so from 1797 until his death you know there were all these of course we I said briefly earlier there were all these boundary changes well you know the government and everything just kept going through political upheavals and you know things kept changing but the one thing that stayed consistent is he held this really high position you know very well respected position of the state position until his death right to be able to go on doctoring or at least keep that title even when he was getting up in years yeah late in the 70s looks like you made it too yeah not quite the same as you know what we have nowadays but to me it's so much more impressive back then you know when there weren't all these resources and you know different things available programs available for professional people such as doctors right but I bet being the state physician like we you know see see in modern times your medicine can get political yeah you know so so the trials and tribulations of not just trying to be a good doctor but trying to practice your statecraft and and keeping in the good faith of those who have employed you when when you have strong opinions about medicine that you want to share right and reproving loyalties over and over you know seeing okay I really fully 100% support you now yes right for all time I support you right even though you just be headed the guy that I pledged my undyed loyalty to last week right yes exactly yes we have that who else did you find interesting through the week Karen you know I spent a lot of time with modern relatives I enjoyed learning about the synagogues and the Jewish families in Australia you know Olivia Newton-John has a niece Toddie Goldsmith who's very well known in Australian television and did some singing like her aunt Olivia in before her and her dad Brian Goldsmith is is said to be the fellow who took Olivia to her first singing lesson her brother-in-law who was several years older than her and very well known for running nightclubs in Melbourne so I had a lot of fun on the Goldsmith family in Australia back to England but then I noticed that other folks were working on the Goldsmith family in Max Born's line that's a totally different branch of Olivia's tree her actual ancestry and not her in-laws and I was impressed with how many of of her ancestors we were able to find I I've got Olivia's fan chart up but let me just show you that and here comes the infinite mirror I swear I'm clicking share it's thinking about it yeah it's thinking I'm clicking an entire screen and share and here comes the infinite mirror and then so I'll zoom in in a sec but just to see how much we did this is Olivia her parents grandparents great grandparents we had going for us but we were able to find all 16 of her that next generation her great greats and then almost all of her let's see third third greats no second greats as well so we're just we're missing a few on those hard traced lines if we come in and look at her at Oliver John oh Oliver Olivia I didn't make that connection until just now that must be her who she was named for in part yeah and then so so we had six out of eight there and then all eight of Daisy Newton and a lot of these are those Welsh names we saw like there's some Williams and there's some more Williams there that see we've got these two Williams from the late 1700s that neither one you know we can't fault anyone for not figuring out who's who's John Williams this was that married into the Moss family and then over on her mother's side where we see so many of the Jewish and Lutheran lines in Germany and off to East Frisia we had six out of eight here from max born just this Kauffman family again that's that's a common name and and with a first name like Solomon that would be challenging but a good good something for someone who wants to pick up and just keep on keeping on with the research here and then max born's wife Martha Ehrenberg we would manage to find all of her great-grandparents so folks did just so well and here comes the gerryms where we saw some and there's Bachmeister where we see those very folks you were just speaking about so I was impressed with just how much got done and here's here's the goldsmith ancestors and then of course I was working on on in-laws so just so many families that we made such great progress on this week I know incredible and you know I looked at the the amount of connections and profiles that we added things like that and there were 911 total ancestors added within seven degrees which in a week's time is just amazing even without any people that's still an incredible amount but we actually made 944 plus connections so some of those there were a few that were on wiki tree and we connected to them and you know I say plus because all of those private ones down at the bottom part of the tree that are really close it doesn't count and when it does that that count that relative count so we actually had more than 944 people connected to Olivia which is crazy right but we don't want to don't need to count the modern folks that folks are adding in their own part of the tree because that's definitely a mind your own business part of the tree so but it's so well and you know these apps and extensions yeah sorry um I know that's where my leg comes in I'm not trying to talk over you the apps and extensions you know we have these incredible developers that do this stuff just like everything else on wiki tree it's free and so in their own time they sit out of the goodness of their heart and they make these tools that are so fun for us to use and make our lives easier as you know genealogists or family historians and um but because of that you know that the say like for the extensions that show the fan charts and they don't have access we can't give them access to the wiki tree server so you know that's because we want to protect your privacy and your living relatives privacy and so they aren't allowed to pull any data that's private and that's why you wind up with a lower number than what you actually should have and that's great I love the way that we balance that um you know making the data available uh to folks to develop that that uh you know our founders and folks like you on the team are not trying to keep it all for yourselves because it is a free uh system you know when you're not looking to sell it and make a gazillion dollars you know it's promised to be free forever so we can provide that access and allow uh folks to innovate you know around the outskirts of wiki tree but still like you said those tools have the same access that I do um and so they are they can't see you know it's it's completely I think uh quite safe to add the grandkids you know to to wiki tree because those tools and those users um no one can see them except uh those you know aunts and cousins that you've specifically granted access to so I love that we can share our data without giving away people's privacy yeah since I mentioned it I want to sorry fix this real quick oh let's see what we're going to see I'm in suspense I'm just going to show that apps page because you know if you have not checked out the apps and the extensions on wiki tree dot com then you really need to and you know there's some great tutorials out there if you know you need a little bit of help learning how to use them if there's one that doesn't have the tutorial you can either ask the developer you know or you can ask somebody like me that does tutorials for a lot of these and we'll see what we can do about getting you on oh that's great you know having our chat going on adjacent to wiki tree on on discord and having the ability to have a zoom meeting together we've all leveled up our skills you know in the past couple of years and I really encourage folks to join in on that because I always learn you know when someone's sharing screen and showing how they research we can always go wait wait how how did you do that and you know show that to me because there's so many tools that you can't be an expert on all of them but you can find a new way of researching that just comes save so much of your time you know life is short and there's you know 30 million ancestors to look at on wiki tree so so I love that we are sharing skills and getting to have that real-time collaboration and chats like these with each other making friends and and sharing research ideas right and you know you definitely don't get that on the other sites you know you you can't go to one of the other sites and go oh what are there's new meetings to chat with the other guys yeah I certainly find something in for wiki tree there's always somebody chatting somewhere right it's it's such a great size you know that it's a powerful enough team to drive essential tools for research but it's a small enough going concern that you can chat with the founder that you can chat with members of the staff team like Mindy you know and and influence how the site is designed and you know it's seeing that path of folks become very volunteer leaders and then find you know important things to do for the tree professionally has been really great to see over the years right and then I want to go ahead and you know talk a little bit about the scorekeeping now of course we don't do the the wiki tree challenges for the points but it is kind of a fun way to motivate yourself and also to keep track of your progress you know to see how much you've really done that week and so we do give points out for various things and I'd like to go ahead and list off our top 10 if I say anybody's name wrong I apologize now for number one and Gio was not only Gio and Albusini was not only our top one with points this week with a total of 214 points but he was also one of the two they tied top bounty hunters this week so that was really exciting and number two would be Chris O'Connell three was Tracy Bent four was one of our captains Maddie Hardman five was Dungea Brandis and she's new to the challenge and she was just an amazing amazing amount of help yes again Caitlyn Emmett was number six Karen you were number seven so you were doing great at adding those profiles and another one of our captains Donna Bowman she was in eighth place another captain I see a theme going here our captains are we're all hooked on this that's why um yeah it's easy to score those points that it's really hard to walk away from the challenge when she get caught up in it number nine of course was Kathy Nava she's always such an incredible great help at looking up stuff for people and still doing the work to add family members and then 10 we have Stephen Greenwood who you know has participated in a number of these and did a great job too so you know hands up to you guys and thank you but thank you to all of them you know everybody that contributes to these challenge and you know challenges in any small way it benefits our tree and it benefits us right so often we see folks who aren't adding a gazillion profiles but they're instead transcribing an entire will and sloppy handwriting making us a space page that's not even about and you know particular ancestors but it's about an industry in the town or a topic where they just really dig in deep and and we get so well educated we we really get to focus on the history part of family history with some of these contributions of folks that you know you don't see at the top of the you know I added 100 people to the tree this week kind of chart although you know that's really fun as well yeah and you know and but that's one of the things that's great about wiki tree you know as we're not just here to document the sources and attach sources you know we're here to bring that person to life and to you know memorialize them in a way that future generations can go oh wow this was my seventh great-grandfather let me read about them and they can learn a little bit about them you know and go into the biography and read the story about his family and what he did for work and you know how many kids he had and just kind of feel like they're part of that person's life that they know them yes and to trace those connections sideways through brothers and sisters through partners in in families that you don't have to take an interest in your personal ancestry if that doesn't speak to you you know maybe you get excited about the state physicians of east frisia maybe you get excited about jewish pioneers in the southwestern us you know a story that folks don't know much about and that turns into your master's thesis in in history or you know the level of research going on is pretty astounding right you know and in the past we've even had like you know sometimes we'll find a factory that a number of the relatives worked at or something like that and then it's kind of fun because you go in and you start you know adding all the people to the space page you know doing a link to them so that you know who all worked at that same place and sometimes you go in and you find family members you didn't even know you know should have been on the tree you're like hmm that's the same last name i better go look at that one and it turns out you know somebody had eight kids instead of seven or yeah sometimes you get bonus family members and and by working these sideways connections you know i was just talking to someone this morning who had born ancestry in germany and as i looked it was well you know your families in you know that town that starts with a b that i can't remember for anything because i'm trying to but but her family was way over on the west of germany close to Alsace at the same time that max born's born family was in posan in poland and you know her family was getting baptized in the lutheran church and and max's family was was having you know a jewish life at the same time and but then i thought well look here's all these cousins that are on the tree on a different line or here's the wacky path between your born's and his born's that maybe maybe you don't share the same ancestor but those sideways paths can be really fun to explore and meeting those cousins you know that might have the the photographs or or the family record books that you've never seen you know because uh some third cousin is like why did i wind up with grandma's brother-in-law's family album you know and and then they get to you get to find each other through a a great global tree right and you know and i think that's one of the things that people forget sometimes you know we we try and take the oh you know the whole family approach we want everybody that belong in that family or in their life hopefully on wiki tree you know and we want to attach them as best we can you know but you think about your your own current life you know and you have cousins that you know you might have grown up with and you know maybe aunts and uncles that influenced you or somebody that passed on a you know a love of cooking or piano playing or whatever it is and you know maybe just the appreciation of nature and these people are all important to you well it's kind of the same and you know it's really easy to get stuck in a rut and go oh well i have my great grandparents i'm going to add their mom and dad and now i'm going to add their mom and dad and just go up that direct line you know but they were any different than we are those cousins were you know most likely in their life and especially back when there weren't you know you get far back enough where there weren't cars where you could jump and go you know drive two hours to see somebody um you know a lot of them were right there in that same area and so there you know those aunts and uncles were important the cousins were important and the neighbors even were right yes that that uh you know if you just focus on the parents and their parents and their parents who get to a part where you're stuck because you didn't know what the origin of the family is and rather than giving up and turning off the hobby uh like you said you know what about those people that were in the same school you know that were in the same um club that played cards or decorated flowers or or tried to help each other survive the winter you know uh folks that were in the same grange or or union hall or place of worship as your ancestors um you know can probably help tell the story uh even better than chasing that elusive uh person you know four generations back in their tree and like I said the ability to just totally put your own family aside and work on something else can uh bring you so much joy you know like I'd always much rather wash your dishes than my dishes because if I'm washing yours we're together and I'm helping and and I'm being a good friend you know if I'm at home that's just work right and you know talking about those connections um kind of brings me back to the point system just a little bit you know because one of the things we definitely try and do is once again make as many of those connections as we possibly can and you know the more that you add people that are in these peripheral relatives to your branches the more likely you are to solve those mysteries or to connect like Karen said you know to a cousin and so you know out of the eight great grandparent lines there's eight of them and we had five of those eight lines people made brand new connections on so you know instead of being only connected this way you know now you had all these other directions you could take and possibly wind up related to Olivia or have your relationship shortened Stephen says he's gonna save save me some of uh some of his dishes okay I'll be over it wasn't let me all right I'll come on over and then you can you can come and do mine because there's plenty yeah I have some chores I don't have any canning for you to do those Stephen and my garden's done with so you can't help with that stuff yeah I was surprised to see a lot of canning though oh nice um was surprised to see people here in Utah saying they're finally eating tomatoes oh boy I haven't eaten tomatoes for two months some folks are just behind getting ready to have a whole bunch of tomatillos though so I guess I better figure out how to how to make some green salsa oh there goes Mindy's internet that might be the end of this show we'll have to see if we get her back otherwise I'm here talking to myself well let's see what I can think of uh to tell you we've looked at the fan chart we've talked about the score sheet um and Stephen's got more tomatoes and a handful of purple beans it was so hot here in Utah that my beans and peas just absolutely refused to grow in the 100 degree heat so the eggplant thought it was great and the tomatoes of course loved the sun and the heat but but it's been awfully hot and awfully dry I just want to take time to thank everyone for getting together on the challenge we had like I said over three dozen people working a bunch of you chatting away on discord and even if you're not a big chatter I'd encourage you to check it out just to see what people are finding and what skills they're sharing to maybe pop a query into the channel there and and see who who you can find to give you a hand with your research let's see Mindy did you make it back with us she's got a lag I am trying but I don't know if my video is going to hold out for this um like us yeah it might be time to um to call it a day Stephen's asking if I have Lowe's in Michigan and I'd encourage you to just go to Lowe-866 and check out my tree um there are a number of people that headed north out of the Smoky Mountains to find work I haven't run into my cousins in Michigan Lowe is a pretty common name in England as well mine was originally LAU from Alsace into York County Pennsylvania and then to uh many points west from there yeah and at any time you know look for us for the next challenge of course we'll be doing the sourceathon coming up and then we'll be focusing on Mark Hamill which will be great so if you haven't registered look in the g2g forum and find us there sounds good use the source


Today, we're having a 1v1 Popwater Frog Only Fishing Tournament with Letcher the Fisherman. We're both going to have four Topwater Frogs, Standard Topwater Frog, Soft Plastic Topwater Frog, Pop and Pickle, and the final bait is a Topwater Spider. The first person to catch a fish on all four lures is Crown the Champion, but the catch is you have to use the lures in a specific order. Every time you catch a fish, you have to run back to the golf cart and tie on one of the new baits. But let's go ahead and get after this. I hope you guys enjoy it. Hit the like button if you want to see more of these. Let's hop right into it. All right. One, two, three. Oh, gosh, gotta get the same tide on quick. This is the first throw that we're using, regular hollow body. Then we work our way up. We've got four lures each all the way to the King Boss, which is the spider. No chance, boy. Too quick. Too quick with it. Oh, I forgot my rod. Let's go. Let's go. OK, OK, OK. All right, we're going to get up here in this corner. Maybe get one first cast. Let's get it, baby. Oh, gosh. They're like little micros trying to eat this thing. This is probably our juiciest frog pond that we had. So we're really wanting to come out here. I got him. I'm on. Oh, gosh, it was on. First fish, baby. I just got to land him. Because I have a big one. Look how small he is, but he's choking. Gosh, dang it. I'm definitely choking right now. Look at that, baby. All right, we've got a good time. Uh-oh. Throw in the scissors with that karma, baby. Lure number two. We actually have a soft plastic frog. Got a slight head start, but I want to be honest with you all. You can come back pretty quick in this. Little does no and no.  Oh, gosh, that's four fish I've missed. Butcher sounds like he's missing a few. We got to keep the ball rolling. Tie her on with a uni knot. We're good to go. Dude, I missed four or five fish now. They're just every time I go to set the hook. There we go. Oh, god, on that time.  Stay on. Oh, boom. We on the boat, baby.  Thanks for the munch, little guy. We'll get you right back on in there. We got to keep our lead. That's going to be a trick to this challenge. If we can keep our lead, we'll be good.  Tie it on the buzz frog, not secured. Little does no and no. Forget to hide these scissors. Let's put them right there. Sometimes you got to play dirty. I'm going to walk in cash real quick. It's worth me running back. Yep. Oh, my goodness, I missed one. Oh, god, let's go. Oh, my gosh. Fish number two. No, it doesn't got a chance. Let's go. Oh, stay, stay, stay. Oh, my bad, my bad. Sorry, Wayne. Sorry. Two lures down. All right, my scissors over here. I got to get them back. Time for the popping pickle. This thing is going to get crushed. There's a little one behind me. The water's so clean and clear. Listen, if the fish swims, that's all that matters. They don't really care about catching the big ones today. Boom by the bing. We on to the next one. Hide those scissors again. Should be one right there. Oh, my gosh, that was a good one. He's right there. I'll see him, I'll see him. There's two, there's two. There's two good fish right there. Oh, my god, please eat him. He's coming for it, he's coming for it. Is that to eat it? Oh, my god, I got him. I had to see him like a crawl. No rules of that, baby. Look at that, look how he ate it, too. All right, we're tied off, Fletcher. Let's go check in on them. Oh, god, he's got one, he's got one, he's got one. All right. All right, he's catching up. Oh, there's a fish right there, gosh. Oh, gosh. Dude, I keep tangling bad around the tip of my rod. Here we go, fish number two. Let's get it, baby. Have fun finding those scissors. I'm getting me a workout this morning. I do not know where he is. Hey, to break a teeth, Fletcher. There's a pair of pliers right here. He tried to pull a fast one, two times. Up next is the poppin' pickle, baby. We should not have a problem catching a fish on this puppy. Oh, that was perfect right in the back. That thing is about to get obliterated.  Oh, you gotta be joshing my tots right now. See, you found the scissors. Yeah, yes, one more, one more, let's go. Oh no, he came off, he came off, no, no, no, no, no, I got a knot. Good luck finding the scissors. Oh my gosh, oh, we got a bad knot too, this is not good. This is not good.  Didn't think I'd ever be sweating this much. Okay, we're no put the scissors. Where do you put the scissors? You didn't even find them, he used the pliers. Gosh. I got him, I got him, I got him. Oh my gosh, let's get it, baby, let's get it.  He's right there, dude, he's right there. I was about to say, I think Fletcher had to go back and cut that knot out of his line. That would have been a great little lead we would have had. You see this little grass patch up here, there's gotta be one on it. I can't believe I lost him, Fletcher did the same thing with the same bait. Cut that off, it's not undone. Oh no, my line's falling out, okay. This is my time to catch up guys and I can't seem to get another bite. Back in action, there we go, this time we gotta hide the pliers too, so no one doesn't find this. Yeah, I probably need my sunglasses, that would be helpful. I go back over here to the honey hole. This little pocket always has fish wanting to eat the frog back here. I feel like there's a fish anywhere right there. I got him, I got him. Oh, that's a good one too, let's get it, baby. Let's get it, baby. But that is my third fish of today. Third lure complete, we just have the spider, but we gotta run all the way back. Let's hide that bad boy down. Let's get a nice little release on there. Thank you, baby, let's get it. Oh gosh, I think it now has one. It looks like he's releasing the fish. Oh, gotta make something happen quick. I think we're in the lead.   He's only four foot too, so you know, I figured that would cause an issue for him. How you doing? I just got a knot in my line. No, I'm just kidding. I got a fish. Oh God, you dog. Why is this frog giving me such difficulty? And I have one on it. I figured I would eat this pretty good. You won't be able to use the pliers this time. He hit our pliers. Gosh darn it. We gotta find, we have a lead and man's cheating over here. I should have hit the pliers. Oh my gosh, if we lose this challenge cause of this, man, do it. Oh, look at this. Hey, there's no cutters on him. Oh my gosh, where did he hide these things? I think he hit them under here. Might as well take a dink sip of water.   I thought he hit them a lot harder than that. I'll be doing the harder areas. All right. Guys, we are on the last bait of the challenge. Old yellow spider. This might be a hard one, guys. I'm not gonna lie, but I think we can get it done. Let's get it. So we don't have to come back to the car on this one. Should I run all the way to the other side? I think I should. All we gotta do is catch a fish. We don't have to tie on another lure. Just have to catch a fish on the spider. Well, that's true. I got the last lure. I don't know why you're fishing over here. The honey hole's back here, boy. You gotta catch them. I feel like a gazelle, boy. Gotta get to the slop. I've got him hooms rolling out of the pocket. Gonna make it happen. Oh, God, I got another mega knot. If honestly, if I had a pair of scissors, I'd help you out. Oh, boy. Sliding. Oh, no way that just came out. No fricking way. You want me to cast in there? Come on, man. Come on. You gotta run all the way back when you tie one. I'm just gonna taunt you at this point. Here it is in the slop. Oh, there's a nice one. There's like a four pounder right there cruising down the middle now. God, do I really gotta run all the way back? Dude, I thought I was trying to breath. I'm gonna have a full blown workout after this. Here you go, bucko. It's like four football fields there and back. I think you're kind of slowing down right now. You're hoping that I just catch one so you don't have to run back. I know what you're doing right now. Guys, I don't know about this slop. Fletcher, you wanna hit another pond?  Let's just make it more interesting. Let you tie on the spider and go to the other pond. I'm just saying, Fletcher, I think I might be able to smoke one real quick, but you know what? We'll give you a run for the W. Because I'm gonna be honest, that run for the W might resort in an L. So, I'll say we go to another pond. I'm in this tide. My God, he's got some brakes on. You gonna try to tie me yet? I'll see what happens. Where'd the sun go? Well, this is so... Guys, I never thought we would end up somehow nodding our baits around each other and trying to catch a fish. One fish on two lures, on two rods and two reels. We should have a video where we gotta do this. If you guys wanna see a video of this, comment down below, let your boys know.  I don't think anybody's ever done this. Let's do flip together, say it again. How do we? All right, one, two, three. That works so well. That works impressively well. Fast car? Yeah. All right. Oh, God! Oh, God! Bro, I wasn't thinking! We got a countdown! Bro, that's like a picture for Instagram, bro. That's good. Honestly, whatever dude. I don't know, see if we can just drop you. I got this.  I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, please hit the like button. Check out Plutcher's channel in the description box down below. Let us know if you want us to try this again. We'll catch you all in the next one.


Your Johnny pose. I'm posing. Change the pose.  What up fellas, it's your boy Johnny and I see you. I see it on the gram.  So you guys might be wondering how do I actually pose without looking awkward? Yeah, I see this a lot and I don't want you to be that dude. So today, your boy has got you on how to pose for Instagram outfit pictures.  You want to find a spot with a cool background or an area where you can place things in the foreground.  Usually with street fashion and street wear culture itself, it has origins from urban areas. New York City, Los Angeles, Tokyo, London and all that. They're all big cities and urban areas really complement a street wear outfit for pictures. That being said, it does not hurt at all to be completely different and rock your street wear outfit in nature. It's just a great way to stand out. For the foreground, depending on your camera and lens, you can use pretty much any item. Prisms, leaves, or even through a fence. Shooting through these really helps frame the picture with the focus on your outfit. Next up, you'll be standing in front of the camera now. But you're gonna have to let the photographer do the work or communicate your vision with them. And I'm talking about composing a clean picture. And composing in photography basically means how the picture is taken, low to high. Let me give you a few good examples. A very clean and safe one is symmetry. See, even the slightest bit of being off angle can really hurt the picture. But when you find a location that is very symmetrical itself, whether the outfit is clean or meh, it'll really make for a clean shot. If you live in a big city like me, it's very easy to not even care about this. Because pretty much anywhere you shoot is unique. But if you're in the far suburbs, shoot in the middle of the road. Anywhere with clean lines and is perfectly balanced. This whole thing should be. A second one I definitely recommend is a landmark. Primate so that it's in the backdrop of the photo. This adds a little bit of character to your photos, just like if you cuffed your pants or rolled your sleeves.  Otherwise, as far as it's shot, definitely communicate to your photographer to shoot from low to high. Typically, this is the cleanest way to make any dude's outfit look even more fly. This is going to make you look taller, showcase the sneakers, the most important part of your outfit, and capture the background. The cityscapes or the trees, the clouds, all of these are what really complements your shot. Now we're going to be talking about poses. Relax, man. Trust me, I've seen some really cringe poses out there. And it's fine. You guys don't know any better. You guys didn't see this video yet. And my number one tip to combat awkwardness is to relax, man. Calm down. See, you can really pose awkwardly, but pull it off really well. My boy Christian does that hilariously well and it makes him stand out on the ground. But let's talk about other poses. Take a deep breath and ain't that serious. And then relax them shoulders and your arms. That's the start. But to really nail them poses, what you're really going to want to do is focus on your legs. A lot of dudes I see lock out both of their legs and it's exactly why the picture looks very awkward. Bend a knee. Bend both knees. This adds to the relaxation and makes for a better pose. Just don't dramatically bend it unless you're sitting down. But yeah, even me, I still do it sometimes. I lock out both my legs and it can look very awkward.   Well, it's also subjective. That's the coolest part about fashion, about photography, about modeling. Each element is subjective and everyone has their own taste and style.  Anything.  All of these really make for a more relaxed photo. Otherwise, let them dangle.  If you're sitting down, keep one leg forward and one leg back. Nothing is more awkward than two feet in place. Come on, man. What are you standing on a scale to measure how much cloud you'll get from this outfit? And definitely you're going to want to focus on your head position. Safest bet is know your good side and show your jawline. Clench your jaw a bit to help that stand out and look anywhere without extremely contrasting your body position. So if your body is pointed toward the left, don't look all the way to the right. It's awkward. And last but not least is learn how to clean the photo up or add to it. Removing people from the photo, errors, signs, tags, anything that distracts from the picture itself should be removed or you can take advantage of adding to an image. You see these birds? Bro, they didn't go, oh, Johnny's taking a picture. Let's slide in frame and do them a solid. I added them. I added the lighting. I added the moons and the stars. See, all of this takes talent and skill. Um, I just want to give a huge shout out to Skillshare for sponsoring this video. Skillshare is an online learning community with over 25,000 classes in business, graphic design. I mean, this is what you want to learn, bro, for them sick edits and many more.

It's really what got my career started and I'm still using it to continue my career. I've really been studying all of Jeff Staples classes on branding and starting your own clothing line. Just you wait, fellas. Seriously though, without Skillshare, I wouldn't know my game plan.

Alrighty continuing off from where we left off last time. We just turned some images into four different PDFs. We got our beach Balloons mountain stars over here on the left as PDF forms whereas originally they were just straight-up JPEGs Just for example, here's our nice little beach dot PDF We're gonna actually this time destructively crop these PDFs was based off the comment of That our last crop wasn't actually a destructive crop it was actually just hiding and that's typical of Modern edits to PDFs and even some images is that it tries to save all that data Just so you can undo things later down the road But what if you do want to just get rid of it get a smaller file size or something like that? We don't want to just crop it. We actually want to cut it with a Which is basically using our media box rather than our crop box The way I like to look at it is there's a picture frame on the wall If you just take the picture You put in the frame usually you don't see edge-to-edge because that frame hides part of that image That's kind of like cropping it. Whereas if you actually truly destructively crop it You're taking the image out of the out of the frame and then just cutting it cutting the picture down to size That would be a true destructive crop. You won't ever get that back even if you do use some tape and glue But let's get on to doing this media box here We're gonna use our high PDF to Since last time they've updated a significant amount to a 3.0 And we're actually on 3.0 point one here, but in the 3.0 version they removed the PDF file reader and changes just a PDF reader and PDF writer took that File name out of it because it does more than just files now. We're still just doing it with the files up. We're gonna go with this PDF reader Function and pass in our beach PDF in read mode with the r command and just pass it into a reader object From there Rather than doing our dot get num pages, which is depreciated with 3.0 We're gonna do reader dot pages that would give us all our pages and we just want to get the length le n of that object That shows a set sure as Sure enough, we have just a single page because we started with a single image We haven't done anything to actually make it more than a single page with this current file But that's simple enough for this example So we're just gonna get reader dot pages zero. It's first page make that our page object And with this page object we can get the media box the dot media box dot lower left lower right and upper left and upper right to get our formats Just do some fancy printing here to actually have it say lower left is equal to those zero zero comment That's the bottom left pixel Then you get your lower right is 1620 by zero Upper left is zero ten eighty and upper right is our 16 20 by ten eighty as you can see I found some HD images here. That's gives us our ten eighty images But if we just do page dot media box, don't do the lower upper left and right We actually get a rectangle object returned to us That shows us our left bottom left and our upper right all in one little line here If that's all you needed is just to pull that out So we're gonna try to determine a crop area now now We can't just crop this and pretend that we can print it as an eight and a half by eleven because of Good printing resolution is actually 300 pixels per inch And if we take our 1620 divided by 300 and our ten eighty divided by 300 We only really can have a high resolution image of five and a half by three and a half roughly inches and But we're not really printing it right now. We're just we just wanted to make a Page in PDF so that we can send this file back and forth across internet as PDF format. So We're not gonna worry about that But just for information 300 pixels per inch is pretty standard for printing high resolution Stuff We're still gonna just jump to this eight and a half by eleven ratio So we got our paper ratio is a point seven seven our HD ratio actually is a point six six So since our HD ratio HD image ratio is smaller than our paper ratio We're gonna need to do a little conversion find a new width. It's 1080 divided by that patient paper ratio that gets us 1397 so what's what that means is our image currently is 18 I mean 1620 tall I mean wide by 1080 tall we're trying to crop Crop the sides off a little bit so that it actually is fitting an eight and a half by 11 ratio So we can fit it into a nice standard page For our PDF because hey most times PDFs are documents Now that we know our new width is 1398 we're gonna make a writer object with our PDF writer function here writer equals PDF writer and We're gonna just store that away for a little while But take our page that we had before page dot media box dot lower left equals. So we're actually changing it now Now we're gonna take our 1620 minus new width For our lower left and our upper left to also change it to 1620 by minus new width But this time it's 1080 The height and what we're doing here is we didn't want to go from zero on the far left here To 1398 over on this side because this tree is kind of cool. Whereas. This is just standard horizon and water We'll crop off this side. It's a little less exciting here. So rather than going Shrinking it down from the left side. We want to just shrink it down from the right side And it's why we're taking what's that difference that we're actually cutting off because we're moving our zero in Inside slightly so it's we're taking off about 300. So this is about roughly 300 here comma zero 300 comma 1080 Now that we saved that new page with its new Lower left and upper left We're gonna go into our writer dot add page and pass in that page that we just edited That that updates the writer object Then since we don't have any more pages to add we're just gonna go out stream equals open beach underscore cropped pdf That's our new file name don't have it anywhere here right now But we're gonna create it during that open process and then pass in WB so that we can actually write to it We're gonna do writer dot write pass in the file that we're trying to write to which is the out stream we just opened up and Then after that saves we're gonna do out stream dot close so we don't have to keep things lingering in the background here Now that we got that file saved let's beach underscore crop open that up and sure enough There's a lot smaller space over here, but just to be sure we'll make that full screen I mean size that to the screen here open up our old beach make sure that size to the screen and sure enough There you see that same tree on the right here and a bit of a gap over there Still have that tree didn't crop anything off the right side, but on the left side. It's much narrower in between that Umbrella and the edge of the image so Now jump into the other three images. We got a stars a mountains and a balloons These beach ones and back to our image here So starting off with our balloons, what looks good? Oh This is kind of nice over here, but there's a little bit of a bigger gap on this side. So How about let's do the right side this time instead? So just rather than before where we did the subtraction of the original width minus our new width to get how far in We should move from zero We're just going all the way to the other edge on the right side with our lower underscore right and upper Underscore right and doing our new width. That's our 1398 and we just put all that in from before into one little Command I mean command set here run that whole thing we now have our balloons cropped and Sure enough We cropped off that right balloon, but hey, what if we only wanted those two this a little more? Framed nicely and this one. This is a nice wide frame image But if we wanted to fold eight and a half by 11 That's what we needed. So We'll crop off the left of this mountains Because he's kind of jumping off to the right there. That's a little more progressive. We don't need this lake over here So do the same thing with the lower left upper left that we did earlier with a 1620 minus new width Run that command Open that guy up Cropped off half that light, but he's still jumping right in got a nice rule of thirds there Now The stars this guy is pretty dead centered in this with the galaxy right above him We kind of want to keep that so what if we don't do just the left or just the right, but do a little bit of both do some math here 1620 by Minus our new with that's how far we want to totally crop off the image and we just divide that by two So that's how far in we're going on the left just halfway in that we originally did and then our other side We want to go new with that's how far over we were if we only went that far We'd be taking the whole right side off, but we want to do that same thing above the 1620 minus new width divide by two I'll take us only half of that distance in so add that to our new width get a little bit of both sides Our stars There you go nice and centered still original new cropped off we now have our background of our PDF reader So what do we do before we want to make all four of these into just one PDF in Python? we're going to Use a PDF writer make a writer object and to make a little for loop here with our four different file names Cycle cycle through them all with a four in PDF in File name array. We're just going to do writer dot append PDF. This append function is just going to Take the file name that you do That you added and just append it to the end of wherever writer is already at we started off with a blank function So the beach will be the first page followed by balloons mountains and then stars lastly we'll just do writer dot write and Write it to emerge dot PDF. This is a slightly different way to do a right We don't have to necessarily always do an open stream But that was used for the actual pages where you need to turn it into from a page object into a writable object here since we just taking the PDF name PDF file and just pending it we can easily just do a dot write into the PDF Then to close it off. We'll do a writer dot close. Let's run this here Got this not wonderful merge file now. Let's take a look. Well, you know one of four pages here beach balloons Mountains and stars Now what if we wanted to change it around a little bit and didn't want the stars as the last one But one of the second one and we already had it Saved as that merge one we can necessarily in Independently take all these files again. We're gonna take this writer dot PDF writer We're gonna take our merged file say that was original one and take our first merge open that merge dot PDF And then we're gonna take our stars. We just gonna shove that in At some point. So we're gonna open that one in as a separate file as stars equals open Stars crop dot PDF RB. Both of those are readable objects Now we're gonna go reader dot append. We're gonna get a little fancier this time with it first merge That's our merge file for but we only take want to take pages Zero to three. So we're actually just taking one two and three indexed starting at zero though, of course and And Start that with the pen so a new writer function just has First three pages dropped off that last page which happened to be the stars and then we're gonna do another merge writer merge we're gonna take a writer function that has the first three pages again Start with position one Which isn't page one page two because we positioned zero as a first page and then we're gonna in merge in The file object stars. So we already opened up the stars cropped. It's a single page if it was more It would shove all those in starting on page two But we're just doing a single page. So that'll be page two followed by the original page two Just do a simple rate merge new PDF There we go one of four pages we get our beach followed by our stars this time balloons and And mountains Now I know that wasn't the fishing way to do it, but just wanted to show you some of the capabilities Sometimes you might not be able to do the original merge I mean a pen to function and you might need to use a merge. So just wanted to point that out there Hope this helps Please like subscribe and add any comments about what you think you might want to see next Until next time Have a great day


Sean Cotton interview then I turn around and did the done chief interview. You had a lot to say Play his position as a Dallas OG.   You know I'm saying you already got that respect like now show us show us I'm a nigga you in the way This is what it is.  I did this. I did that.  Like It was more about them coming to a podcast and he talked about I wasn't what up You understand what I'm saying With his problem with Sean cotton, I wasn't talking about that. Okay.  And when was that I? Don't remember exactly how many years old party. It was baby's pool party.  No ten years.  It was like right bro right before everybody start Popping for real like everybody was at that pool party though. If you was there you probably remember Yeah, no, I just like I said I just looked at his motion.  You know I'm saying like He's a legend. You can't take that from him. I'm not saying he's not a legend I just say he ain't really it just sound like he hating When you heard him on my podcast Just I heard him hating that the the baby pool party before show when he got on this I'm not gonna say what he really tried to sit on cotton bro. Like oh, yeah, you're you're when you see how individual see I understand why I probably ain't got the clips. I've been seeing this look like he been sitting on cotton But even when he did the the mogul or try to sit on cotton, you know same Even when he did mogul she's sitting on mo three like the reason why the homie wasn't the reason why I can say that I heard I heard it with Sean Cotton see you. So it's like Charles was too big for his podcast y'all feel like I'm gonna be real with you being a Bias journalist.  We've already had our challenges. You know what I'm saying far as with different situations That's a part of this whole structure, man.   Yeah, I'm saying yeah, and like the podcast it just wasn't that Do you really feel like that or you just feel like that cuz he said that about you I'm saying do you feel like that?  But but if you felt like this after the interview you still feel like For him to say say cheese is not bigger than breakfast club and not bigger than all these things you have to already feel like that No, no, or you feel like that just because nigga said your podcast not that big now. Well, here's what you got to understand Let me say this man, you know He did a podcast with say cheese and with Charleston But when you look at it after they left Then he said then chun said that they had a phone call they said they told Charleston you too big to be going on on say she on on a Done chiefs podcast. Are you on another? It's other levels to this You don't think that Chiefs should have said nothing. I'm not sad. I mean I'm not saying he shouldn't have spoke up for itself. I would have been like that I still would have been like nigga.  I'm not saying I'm not Bar they emotional from what in both ends, right? Let's call it how it is. Let call us pay to spade like you said this now you saying this


Hey everyone, welcome to figure fantasy again another a figure which a lot of you have been asking me Is she worth it? Are you going to summon for her and let us do it now? Okay, Arisa Jingle is going to be Arriving tomorrow together with the update. So definitely she is military's class and she is with Galatea Okay, so While we're here, let us take a look at her skills What she gives us is she really worth it again, and let's start off with her basic attack It's called peace above all so range six lots. So it reaches up to the end attacks an enemy from the first From the starts from the first enemy the same line. Okay A basic but her attack speed is fast So as expected with any military's it should be fast So the boost are 25 25 again You all know this and it's going to be a 50% boost in total her ultimate guys take note fruity bullets Initial energy is going to be 30. So definitely this is going to be a bit a bit slow slower attack but Attacks the current target 12 times with a 100% crit chance for each attack take note of that and a 15% chance to trigger additional damage where the chance to trigger will be adjusted according to the accuracy bonus Energy regen is six. It's the usual upgrade effect is going to be increased the damage of Ultimate by 25% against ignited enemy. So you can pair her up with an ignite team for Galatea and Level three the number of attacks is going to be plus three So what do I think of her ultimate? She is definitely going to pack a lot of punch for Galatea We are actually good with the front line. We have a vanguard We have a new defender and this gives us actually another boost in the military's category Which is really needed in terms of DPS. So because my opinion Lubu does not give you as much damage as her So there's a probability that she's going to replace Lubu and also she's going to work well with ignite teams While Lubu does not work well with ignite teams So she at this point for ultimate I'm gonna give a thumbs up and let's go to her passive no martial arts Ethics when the current target unleashes their ultimate and dies perform a counter attack that deals massive damage. So every time There is an ultimate for the current target and dies as well a Counter attack will be triggered level 2 increased damage by 10 the counter attack also stuns the target for one second and 3 increases damage by 10 Each time a target is hit by a counter the target will receive 25% increased damage for the next counter so again The way her kit is built from what I you know take My takeaway for this one is that She is going to be good with a single target boss as well as clearing the first target defender in Mob so technically she's gonna do it all for you with massive damage and the last one is her special Mine and body as one that boost damage by 15% when there is no enemy surrounding enemies Upgrade effect increase attack by 5% and create damage by 10 and level 3 is going to boost Damage by 25% when there is no surrounding enemies. Okay, so the ultimate question is Shall I recommend her? Okay? Right now I'm ranking her not on the top. She could be tier a not tier s based on my tier list She doesn't have That special, you know special Unique straight within her She doesn't have any utility. She has a little bit stunned there ignite their Damage for ignite, but her main kit is going to be Focused on tremendous damage ultimate damage dealer for Galatea as a militarist and Again, is she a must pull it depends if you're if you're building your Galatea team If you want your Galatea team to deal more damage in which I think all of us needs More DPS because the there are stages again. There are stages in the game. We're in we we will be building Pure Galatea teams and those teams don't usually have that much DPS so For Galatea teams purely Galatea teams. Yes She is a must pull But if you're not concentrating on Galatea teams I don't think She is a pull for you Again, um, but if you want to clear content that only caters the Galatea then you must get her So do I see her as one of the top militarists? at this point, um I'm saying I'm not sure yet. Okay. Just to be fair. I'm gonna have to test her out See how much damage she um, she does comparing to the existing You know existing militaries that we have The the previous ones which are powerful, which is Zerola. I'm gonna compare her see if how they're gonna be Going toe-to-toe with each other and also try to see if she can compete with the tier s Tier s militaries that we have so we have a lot actually so most of them are The best ones are usually collab units and let's see if she can compete with Most of the collab units in the militaries class. So again, I like the way she looks She has another skin in which we can get on a limited time, but this look I already like at this point Um with a big slingshot here. Um, you can never go wrong. So again guys, um comments Um, I'm telling you what what I think but for me, I will tell you this I will summon for her tomorrow. I want a boost to my galatea team so hopefully I could you know get her um with more copies and We'll see so anyway guys. Thank you very much for staying this far. Take care. Stay safe. This is the warden and I'm out of here


The world will focus on your failures and ignore your successes. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in today, with social media making it easier and easier to spread negativity. So whenever we get a prediction wrong, trust me, we hear our fair share of internet basement dwellers in the comments. But when our predictions are correct, damn does it feel good to prove people wrong. I'm Hasan Khan of Time with Football and here are 10 players we were right about in 2021. 10. Dalton Schultz In 2021, Schultz had himself a career season. We were correct in predicting that Schultz would emerge as he started tight end over Blake Jarwin, whereas many other outlets like ESPN had Jarwin taking charge as a Cowboys top tight end. I mean it just didn't make any sense why Schultz wouldn't be the starter. He was good in 2020 so that means he's going back to being a second string? But people thought that was the case. However we can all now agree that it's Dalton Schultz's job moving forward. 9. Debo Samuel Now Samuel is only number 9 on this list because we predicted a much better season out of them than what other people predicted. We didn't know that he was going to go harder than Urban Meyer in a bar. We predicted that Samuel would have a better season Brandon Ayuk when everyone else was convinced that Ayuk would have a better season. It's as if Debo's injuries in 2020 was supposed to be the passing of the torch to Ayuk but anyone that watched Samuel's 2019 season would have known that he is something special. 8. Julio Jones I remember the Makri the NFL community made of the Atlanta Falcons. Besides that I'm talking about when Julio Jones was traded for his second round pick. Looking back at that ended up being a victory for the Falcons. Jones has dealt with injuries in 2021 but even in the games that he's played he averaged less than 50 yards per game. We predicted a disappointing season for Jones mainly because of common sense. Derek Henry is the focal point of the offense so majority of snaps will go to him. AJ Brown will be the number one target because of Julio's age and first year in the offense. Context clues my friends. 7. Seguan Barclay It's not that I think Seguan is bad but the Giants offense has hurt his value.  Last season reports detailed how Devonte Booker would have a pivotal role to ease the workload of Barclay but many people still dub Barclay to have a season similar to his rookie year. We had very little hope for Barclay in a bad offense and in a timeshare but others bought the hype over anything else. 6. Mike Williams I'm aware that Mike Williams started off hot and didn't do much afterwards like some people but he still finished a regular season similar to our projections. We knew a breakout was bound to happen with offices and reports detailing that offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi was making it a point to feature Williams in the offense. In fancy football terms he finished as the wide receiver 16.  ESPN projected him to be the wide receiver 51. 5. T. Higgins The Bengals offense as a whole has been wonderful and it's really a pick your poison on who you want to stop. Jemar Chase, Tyler Boyd or T. Higgins For Higgins he finished the season with 74 receptions, 1091 yards and 6 touchdowns which is eerily similar to the 75 receptions, 1170 yards and 6 touchdowns season we predicted. In fancy football terms he finished as the wide receiver 18. We predicted him to be the wide receiver 16. ESPN said he would be the wide receiver 28. 4. DeAndre Swift You might see this and be like, really? People really doubted Swift? Believe it or not people said Swift would have a down year with Jemar Williams being signed and the Lions having a bad offense. But homies would praise Travis Etienne so much more than Swift even though he's part of a committee and part of a bad offense, much like Swift. In fancy football jargon we predicted him to be the running back 6th for the season. Prior to his injury he in fact was the RB6, ESPN had him as the RB20. 3. Jaylen Hertz Now we specifically said that Hertz was not going to be a prolific passer in 2021 but instead a superstar in fancy football. We looked at the four games he started in 2020 to determine that his rushing would be the reason he'd finish as a top 5 quarterback and as we predicted Hertz relied on his legs for his success. He barely missed the top 5 due to missing a game with an injury but given that we were all in on Hertz this year and other sites had projected nothing much out of him we got to give ourselves a pat on the back. Good job me! 2. Evan McPherson When the world had no idea who McPherson was we said that he was going to be the next Justin Tucker. It's a bold statement for sure but he's been deadly accurate, especially from 50 yards and beyond. McPherson finished as a top 5 kicker in the NFL and was the AFC Special Teams player of the month at one point. His clutch has a powerful leg, accurate, part of a great offense and is only 22 years old. The future is bright for McPherson. 1. Jamar Chase Ahh, the most satisfying prediction of them all. Chase was ridiculed in 3 season for his drop passes and his questionable reasoning behind his drops. And through all of it, we predicted him to be a top 10 receiver this season. It just made perfect sense. Has his college quarterback throwing him the ball, quarterback is a number 1 pick, Chase had the talent of a top 5 pick, it just all added up. Chase set numerous rookie and franchise records this year.  Bottom line, don't criticize anyone's predictions until it actually does or does not happen.
