Live from Atlanta, Georgia, it's theCUBE. Covering AnsibleFest 2019, brought to you by Red Hat. Welcome back, this is theCUBE's coverage of AnsibleFest 2019, I'm Stu Miniman. My co-host of the week is John Ferrier and this is theCUBE Insights where we share our independent analysis, break down what we're hearing from the community, what we've learned from all of our interviews. John, we knew community would be a big portion of what we did here at Culture and Collaboration were things that we talked a lot about that wasn't necessarily what I thought I would be hearing. You've been talking a lot about how observability and automation are these huge waves we've seen, acquisitions, we've seen IPOs, we've seen investments, so your take here is we're wrapping up. Well, I mean, first of all, Stu, as we said in our opening, and the big scene here has been automation for all, that's Ansible's kind of wrap because they're announcing their main news, Ansible Automation Platform, so that's the big news. But the bottom line is where this emerged from was configuration management. Ansible started out as a small little project that solved a very specific problem. It solved configuring devices and all the automation around opening up ports and things that were important beyond the basic static routing, the old Web 1.0, Web 2.0 model and it grew into a software abstraction layer for automating because a lot of that stuff, the mundane tasks in configuring networks and servers, frankly, were boring and redundant, everyone hated them, patches, so easy ground to automate. And I think it's evolved a lot into DevOps because with the cloud scale, more devices, just because software is defining everything, doesn't mean servers go away, so we know that. There's more servers, there's more storage, it's in the cloud, it's on-premise, it's cloud operations, so automation, I think, and my prediction is, is that automation will be as big of a category as observability was. And remember, we kind of missed observability, we saw it as important, we covered all those companies, but it's basically network management on steroids with the cloud, but look what happened, multiple companies went public, big companies getting sold for billions of dollars, a lot of M&A activity, observability is one of the most important areas of cloud 2.0, it's not just some white space around network management, the data's super important. I think automation is going to grow into a highly competitive, highly relevant, and lucrative marketplace for companies. And I think Ansible is in pole position to capture that with Red Hat, and now Red Hat, part of IBM, I think automation is going to be very big land grab, it's going to be where the value's created, I think observability and automation are going to go hand in hand, and I think AI and data, those are the things, programming infrastructure revolve around those two spheres, I think it's going to be super important, I think that's why the cube is here, we smelled it out, we sniffed it, we can see it, we can touch it, and the community here, they're doing it, they actually have proof points. This community is demonstrating that the process can be more efficient, the technology works, and the people are transforming, and that is a key piece, with automation, people can work on other things, and it's certainly changing the game, so all three aspects of digital transformation are in lockstep and expanding rapidly. Yeah, John, I would expect nothing less than a bold prediction from you on this space, it's only $150 million acquisition, which is really small compared to a lot of the acquisitions that we see these as, heck, Red Hat, Ansible didn't get talked about all that much when IBM went and spent over $30 billion for Red Hat, but absolutely, automation is so important, that infrastructure as code movement that we've been tracking for quite a long time helps enable automation across the entire stack, a lot of discussion this week here, networking and security, two areas that we know need to make progress, and we need to have less errors, we need to be able to make changes faster, and cloud. Just as in the infrastructure space, that configuration management, we need to be able to simplify things, absolutely one of the things that will slow down the growth of cloud is that we can't simplify those environments, so the same type of tooling, and where Ansible is trying to span between the traditional environments and the cloud is to get this working in the containerization cloud-native Kubernetes world that we're living in today. Yeah, and Stu, you're right on, this is the analysis and it's spot on, I think one of the nuances in the industry landscape is when Red Hat got acquired by IBM for a massive amount of money, everyone's scratching their heads, but if you think about what Red Hat has done, and you know I'm a real big fan of Red Hat, UR2, they're smart, they make great acquisitions. Ansible, not a big payout, they had CoreOS, they had OpenShift, they decouple, they're operating systems people, they get the notion of systems architecture. I think Red Hat has executed brilliantly in that systems mindset, which is perfect for cloud computing. I think Arvin Krishna at IBM really understood the impact of Red Hat, and when I talked to him at Red Hat Summit two years ago, right before the acquisition, he had the twinkle in his eye when I asked him about Red Hat, because you can see him connecting the dots. Red Hat brings a lot to the table, and if IBM doesn't screw up Red Hat, then they're going to do well. We talk about Red Hat not screwing up Ansible, and they didn't, not part of it. If IBM doesn't screw up the Red Hat acquisition, let Red Hat bring that systems mindset in. I think IBM could use Red Hat as a beautiful way to bring a systems architecture into cloud, cloud native, and really take a lot of territory down these new cloud native applications. Automation is a force multiplier for customers, and Ansible has that capability to be a force multiplier for Red Hat. When you look at the ecosystem they're building out here, the Ansible Automation platform really helps get customers more in lock steps. So, I was talking to some people and said, oh, AWS has an update, oh, we need to roll the entire core and put out another version. I can't wait for that. I need to be able to decouple the partner activity, which, by the way, they talked about how this project is the six most popular in GitHub. De-coupling collections might actually put them lower on the list, but that's okay because they're solving real customer problems, and it's interesting, John, when you talk about the ecosystem here, there's only a couple of other companies other than Red Hat that can commit without having to go through approval. Microsoft is one of them, so you talk about the collaboration, the ecosystem here, where this can be. Well, Stu, the thing about Ansible is that it's a double-edged sword. Their value is also an Achilles heel, and one of the critical analysis that I have is that they're not broad enough yet, and they're, I won't say misunderstood. The customers here in the community, they totally get it. Everyone here loves Ansible. The problem is that in the global landscape of the industry, they're tiny. Red Hat needs to bring this out faster. I think IBM has to get Ansible out there faster because they have all the elements kind of popping right now. You've got community, very strong, customer-based, loyal, and dynamic. You've got champions developing, that's classic sign of success. They've got a great product, perfectly fit for this glue layer, this integration layer, below containers, and maybe even sitting above containers, depending on how you look at it, and then finally the ecosystem of partners. Not yet fully robust, but all the names are here, Microsoft, Cisco, NetApp, F5.  They have to up-level it. I think that's the critical problem I see with these guys is that it's almost too good and too small. Yeah, when I look back at when Red Hat made the acquisition, there were a handful of companies, most of them embracing open source as to which configuration management tool you're going to do. Ansible did well against them, and Red Hat helped make them the category leader in this space. There is a different competitive landscape today. Just public cloud, Ansible can help, but there's some customers that would be like, oh, I've got different tooling and it doesn't fit into what I'm doing today. So there's some different competitors in the landscape, and we know John, every customer we talk to, they've got a lot of tools. So how does Ansible get mindshare inside the company? They had some great stories that we heard both on theCUBE from ING and the Southern Company, as well as in the Keynotes, from JPMorgan where they're scaling out, they're building playbooks, they're doing this, but this is not just push a button to get all of this rolled out through the company. Well, the IBM marketing should help here. And if I'm, you know, the marketing team at IBM, I'd be like all over this because this is a game changer because this could be a digital transformation ingredient, the people equation. The problem is that, again, IBM has to embrace this. And Ansible has that glue layer integration. This could be great. Now the benefit to them, I think their tailwind is, they can solve a lot of problems. One nuance from the show that I learned was, okay, configuration management, DevOps, great. The network automation is looking good. Security is a huge opportunity because if you think about the basic blocking and tackling, patches, configuration, misconfigurations, automation plays perfect role. So to get Beachhead and the enterprise as an abstraction layer is to own and dominate those basics. Because think about the big hacks. Capital one, misconfigured firewall to an S3 bucket. It wasn't Amazon's fault, but the data on Amazon, this is automation can solve a lot of these problems. Patches, malware, vulnerabilities. The adversaries are going to be all over this. So I think the security piece, huge upside, position Ansible and Red Hat as an abstraction layer to solve those basic problems rather than overselling it. Could be a great strategy. I think they're doing a good job with that. Yeah, totally, you know, built on simplicity and modularity, this tooling is something that can sit lots of places in the organization and help that cultural communication. I was a bit critical of enterprise collaboration, that top-down push that you get. But here, you know, you've got a tool that we just had on our final interview with Parag. You know, developers, they didn't build this for developers, but developers are embracing it. The infrastructure people are embracing it. It gives some good ways to work together. And then why we're here, I mean, Stu, why we're here is I think Ansible Fest is a community event which we love. But Stu, I think this is early days and the Canary in the coal mine is saying that the Ansible formula for automation is going to be a growth here. That's my prediction. And we have data to back it up. If you look at our community and the folks out in the CUBE alumni know, know that when we reach out to them and get some data, but here's what supports why I think the automation thing with Ansible and Red Hat's relevant because it applies to what we just talked about. The number one thing that came back from the community, Stu, was focused efforts on better results. Automation from time efficiency, days, hours, to minutes, check. Security is absolutely a top driver for automation. That's the tailwind. The job satisfaction issue is not like a marketing feel good thing. People actually like their jobs when they don't have to come in on the weekends. So this automation does align with that. And finally, infrastructure and developers reskilling with new capabilities and new things is just an uplift. So those are the drivers driving the automation. That's why RPA is so hot. And this is a critical foundation in my opinion. So Ansible is leading the wave here in this new automation wave. And I think it's going to be a big part because it's controlling the plumbing. It's controlling the machinery. Johnny, the future of work, we know that automation is going to be hugely important. You mentioned RPA, a huge one. I had an interview with an associate professor from Syracuse University here. They're teaching this to education. It's not just, oh, hey, you got to go learn coding and learn this programming language. No, we need to have that combination of the business understanding and the technology and automation can sit right at that intersection. What's your big learning point? What did you take away? Yeah, so it is, it's at that point here that this is not just some cool little tool on the side. This is something, John, we've talked at many shows. Software can actually be a unifying factor inside companies to help build platforms and for customers to help them collaborate and work together. This tool like Ansible isn't just something that is done tactically, but strategically gets everyone on the same page, enables that collaboration, isn't just another channel of some other thing that I don't want to have to deal with. It helps me get my job better, increase that job satisfaction. That's so hugely important. And, Sue, if you think about the digital transformation form of people, process technology, how many interviews have we done? How many interviews have we done and the companies we've talked to where they have the great product on the process side to address the process. They have the tech, but they fail on the people side. It's the cultural adoption, it's the real enablement. And I think Ansible's challenge is to take the platform, the capabilities of their software, launch the platform and create value because if they're not enabling value out of the platform, that does not cross check with what platforms are supposed to do, which is, create value. Yeah, and John, the thing I want to look for when we come back to this show next year is how much are they allowing customers to leverage their data. When we heard from their engineering division here, okay, the platform's the first piece, but how do I measure internally and how do I measure against our peers? We know that that's people want to have, there's so much information out there. How am I doing? Where am I on my five step progression and adoption of automation? And hey, am I doing good against my competition or are they smoking me? Well, that's the metrics. With the insight piece and tying into RHEL, now people can say, look, I just saved a bunch of money, I saved some time, that's the business impact. And I think when you have the KPIs and you have the analysts to back it up, good things will happen, Stu's been great. All right, John, always a pleasure to catch up with you. We got lots more here toward the second half of 2019. Big thanks to the whole community for, of course, watching us here at Ansible's Fest. Check out thecube.net for all the upcoming shows. Thank you to our whole production team and to our host, Red Hat, for giving us this beautiful set right in the middle of the show. And thanks as always for watching theCUBE.


Internal Revenue Service IRS Tax News Security Summit focused a special week on identity theft to protect taxpayers, tax professionals as holiday and tax season's approach. Protect me from identity theft. It's too late. The IRS already knows who I am. And I mean, they're like the most ruthless group on the interwebs these days. It's like they've become so bold. They actually found out who my employer is and are currently shaking them down like on a weekly basis. Making my employer give them the IRS like a large portion of the salary before I even get it. I mean, can you believe that? I mean, the IRS is even more ruthless than like Greta Thumberg toward the CEO of the energy company at her toy Lego town. A Lego town powered by Pixie Dust, mind you.   It's ridiculous. But anyways, first a joke. The press told President Biden, if you don't get inflation under control, your presidency will suffer a fate worse than death. You retired too? Not me. I'm in my prime. And President Biden was like, oh, come on, man. How could you even tell if I have a face worse than death? If Edwards gets wind of this, he'll use it against you in the campaign. He'll try to prove that you're incompetent. I can prove that as well as he can.  Yeah, I should know. I saw death just last night while he was checking his watch. Little Han says it's time to rock and roll. I was right next to him and I still couldn't see his face. From the Pentagon, sir, we just decoded it. Very good here. Help me with this. My eyes are ceramic. A bazooka round, a little big one. Where's the token hour? The one went out to the Indians. It's the final orders. We strike tomorrow at 0600. Excellent. Wake me up at 0530. Not face. Fate. Fate worse than death. The press corrected. Well, gentlemen, we've waited a long time to hear this. In exactly five hours and 17 minutes, we hit the enemy coast. I think that's the enemy coast, sir. Huh? Coast. I'll take a little more planning, but it doesn't matter. And President Biden was like, well, I don't know. Death was looking like he was in pretty good shape to me. If you have trouble hitting, you're objective. Your secondary targets are here and here. An accordion factory and a mime school.  I mean, honestly, death looks like he's in such good shape he could probably decapitate someone with that swing. Good luck, gentlemen. Link, take over. Oh, there's one more thing. That might not get that's probably for me. IR 2022-202, November 18, 2022, Washington. The Internal Revenue Service, along with state tax agencies in the nation's tax industry, today announced a special week focusing attention on empowering taxpayers to protect sensitive financial information against identity thieves as the holidays and the 2023 tax season get closer. Now, in its seventh year, the annual National Tax Security Awareness Week takes place from November 28, December 2nd. So that's November 28 to December 2nd. The event is part of a larger effort that continues by the Security Summit. There's a link to them here. The coalition of the IRS, the states, and the nation's tax software and tax professional community. The group formed in 2015 to combat tax-related identity theft by strengthening protections against fraud and raising security awareness. With the holidays and tax season approaching, the summit partners warned taxpayers and tax professionals to take extra steps to protect their financial and tax information. People faced a heightened risk in coming months as fraudsters take advantage of the holiday season to trick people into sharing sensitive personal information by email, text message, and online. So we have been on heightened alert for some time due in part, of course, to the pandemic, the issues with the pandemic, and then with the responses to them, which in part have been the IRS changing the tax code. So those changes kind of confuse things and an emphasis, especially on the lower income with the refundable credits, which makes it more valuable oftentimes for the thieves to be stealing the identities of lower income individuals possibly because they might be able to get those refundable credits if they can file, say, a fraudulent tax return. That on top of the fact that now we're at the year-end holiday season, which naturally always is a place where you have to be more vigilant for the fraudsters because it is a more fraudster-rich environment at that point in time because they're always targeting stuff on the holiday season. So identity thieves use that information to try and file tax returns and steal refunds. So again, you've got to keep more of your focus. You always have the frauds in general like charities and that kind of stuff, especially during the holiday seasons. But remember that the fact that you've got more of these refundable credits means that a lot of these frauds might be geared more towards information that can be used to file tax returns to get access to some of that refundable credit kind of stuff. So to help combat this, the Summit Partners National Tax Security Awareness Week will feature a week-long series of educational materials to help protect individuals, businesses and tax professionals from identity theft. The effort will include a November 29 webinar titled, Deeper Dive into Emerging Cyber Crimes and Crypto Tax Compliance. There's a link to that here, special information graphics and a social media effort on Twitter and Instagram through at IRS News and Hashtag Tax Software. Quote, taxpayers and tax professionals need to remain vigilant for increasingly sophisticated scams that look to steal sensitive financial information. End quote said IRS Acting Commissioner Doug O'Donald. Quote, the security summer effort focuses on highlighting simple steps that small businesses and people in all walks of life can take to protect their information, helping them avoid problems at tax time. End quote. The IRS and Summit Partners continue to see constantly evolving threats and scams. So we've got an obviously constantly changing environment with the web and changes there with technology, which leads to more types of scams. And currently we have constantly changing environments with the tax code. And right now those changes are focused in on lower income tax returns possibly with these refundable credits. So you would think again that would be where you want to kind of look where the scams might be leading towards. So they mimic IRS others in the tax community through fake emails, texts and online scams. These schemes frequently use recent tragedies or charitable groups to coax people into sharing sensitive financial information. So clearly most of us have seen kind of the generic spamming type of stuff, which usually is not that sophisticated. But you can tell that as the environment changes, then the unsophisticated emails could still be somewhat threatening because we haven't seen them before. And then two, if they do target an individual's or a tax professional, they can't be much more sophisticated. I mean, there's probably reasons why they make an unsophisticated kind of attack because they're actually looking for someone to follow through with that attack. If they have to provide sensitive information or contact them directly to get money from them or something, then they're going to want the unsophisticated people to the more naive people to kind of follow through with it. But if they're focusing in on a smaller group of people, you would think that they might make a more complex structure, which they might do these days at the people of the nodes that are holding more of this. Information that they can use to file fraudulent tax returns, that would be possibly lower income individuals, tax software and tax professionals, unfortunately. Quote, the heightened risk to taxpayers poses a real threat. The criminals continue to evolve and are always looking for opportunity to fraudulently obtain this information. In quote, said Nina Savage, President of the Board of Trustees for the Federation of Tax Administrators and Tax Administrator for Rhode Island. Quote, we urge everyone to take the steps necessary to protect their sensitive information, which simultaneously helps strengthen the joint work conducted by the states, the IRS and the tax industry through the security summit partnership. In quote, a security, a security summit partners increased their joint defenses against identity theft in recent years, including through the identity theft information sharing and analysis center. That's the ISIC fraudsters have increased, looked for ways to obtain sensitive personal financial information to help slip past common defenses that has made tax professionals who hold valuable tax information for their clients, a tempting target for scam artists. Quote, the innovative tax, the innovative summit partnership between the public and private sector has created important protections against tax related identity theft, said Julie McGee, tax regulatory lead at cash app taxes and an original member of the security summit who currently serves as the group's communications co-chair. In quote, this collaboration effort continues to thwart identity thieves helping protect taxpayers and tax professionals, while also safeguarding the federal and state tax system essential to running our nation. So with International Fraud Awareness Week underway through November 19th this year, the security summit offers a preview of the upcoming National Tax Security Awareness Week that begins November 28th. So here we have it. We got the overview with National Tax Security Awareness Week 2022 highlights. You got the Cyber Monday Protect Personal and Financial Information online. So we'll probably see some more of this obviously throughout the week. So I'll just go over this fairly quickly. The IRS and the security summit partners remind people to take these basic steps when shopping online. Use secure software for computers and mobile phone and keep it updated. Make sure antivirus software for computers has a feature to stop malware and that there is a firewall enabled that can prevent intrusions. Use strong and unique passwords for all accounts. Use multi-factor authentication whenever possible. Shop only secure websites. Look for the HTTPS and web addresses and the padlock icon. Avoid shopping on unsecure and public Wi-Fi in places like coffee shops, malls and restaurants. Tax professionals should review their security protocols. As identity thieves continue to target tax professionals, the IRS and the summit partners urge practitioners to review the tax security together checklist. There's a link to that here, including deploy basic security measures. Use multi-factor authentication to protect tax software accounts. Create a virtual private network if working remotely. Create a written data security plan as required by federal law. Know about phishing and phone scams. Create data security and data theft recovery plans. So get an identity protection PIN pin. Taxpayers who can verify their identities online may opt into the IRS IPPIN program a tool taxpayers can use to protect themselves and their tax refund. Here's what taxpayers need to know. The identity protection PIN or IPPIN is a six digit code known only to the individual and the IRS. It provides another layer of protection for taxpayers social security numbers on tax returns. Use the get an identity protection PIN the IPPIN tax tool at irs.gov forward slash IPPIN to immediately get an IPPIN. Never share the IPPIN with anyone but the trusted tax provider. Again, we'll probably dive into some of the stuff in more detail in the week. So I'm not going to try to expand on each one of these items. We'll just go over the overview. So businesses should watch out for tax related scams and implement safeguards. Most cyber attacks are aimed at small businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Some details from these segments include learn about best security practices for small businesses. IRS continues protective masking of sensitive information on business transcripts. A business identity theft affidavit form 14039B is available for businesses to report theft to the IRS. Beware of various scams, especially the W2 scam that attempts to steal employee income information. Check out the quote business end quote section on IRS's identity theft central. There's a link to that here. Earlier this year, the protect your clients protect yourself campaign. There's a link to it. Encourage tax professionals to focus on fundamentals and to watch out for emerging of all vulnerabilities for those practitioners using cloud based services for their practice. So you can look at that. And then you have all these additional resources that you can also check up on in your like leisurely reading time. In addition to reviewing IRS publication for 557 safeguarding taxpayer data, tax professionals can also get help with security recommendations by reviewing small business information security, the fundamentals. There's a link to that here by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. You've also got the IRS identity theft central page. There's a link to that for tax pros individuals and businesses have important details as well. The IRS and security summit partners also share YouTube videos on security steps for taxpayers, so they must be really popular. The videos can be viewed or downloaded at easy steps to protect your computer and iPhone. There's a link to that here and security measures help protect against tax related identity theft. There's a link to that here so employers can share publication 4524 security awareness for taxpayers. There's a link to that with their employees and customers and tax professionals can share with clients. So there's a lot of reading material here people and we're going to hear about the security summit telling us all this stuff that on how you know how to secure the stuff next week so or whatever when it when this starts. So it's going to be great and we'll hear about that more later and there'll be a link to this in the description.


Welcome to downtown variety presented by La Mama and culture hub I'm your host Maddie Barbara Backelman and for the first time hosting downtown variety I'm not in Brooklyn, New York, but I am in Amherst, Massachusetts with my parents beautiful scenery here as you can see This is downtown variety and if you've been here before you know, it's La Mama and culture hubs ongoing experiment Where we work with artists to uncover and discover the theatricality and storytelling possibilities of this emerging medium At the beginning of the pandemic we were producing the show weekly, which was a whirlwind and a dream and an Unprecedented learning experience if you will now we're producing this show monthly and To launch the upcoming La Mama and culture hub seasons We will produce a special edition of downtown variety Every edition is special and this one will be no different, but it will be entirely different This will be on September 18th, you heard it here first or you read it on playbill already, but this will be the season that approaches New new ways of creating art. It's dubbed the breaking it open season by La Mama and Yeah, it's a whole new model that they've never done in its 59 years of existence. I Keep on remembering that this is a historic moment and I Wouldn't want to experience it alone. I'm so lucky to be here and to have you here with me We're gonna go places tonight First we will travel to Nairobi, Kenya then It's off to the River Tens in London then to Berlin Germany for a little late night action and then to The Okanichu homelands also known of Orange County, North Carolina And then to sunny Los Angeles where it's 100 degrees. I've heard and Finally we'll return home to a tiny closet in the city Sounds like the first apartment that I rented from New York to Brooklyn It's too good And I don't have to say this whole this is the whole reason that culture hub was founded by La Mama and the arts in 2009 To explore how the internet and emerging technologies could foster artistic collaboration and international and cultural exchange The future is now So thank you first We go to Nairobi, Kenya Where our friends both theater company are standing by live and it's about three in the morning right now So without further ado Arroji Otieno Oh My god, so thank you Wait, do you have the live stream playing I just want to make sure I don't hear feedback you mean me. Oh, no, you sound great Hi and Hello, so this is Arroji Arroji. Can you introduce your incredible team? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so this is DJ Bruno Vassitile I did you do Bruno Vassitile He was playing the African shakers Amazing. Yeah, and my brother is at the background. Yeah He's on the camera And my name is Arroji Otieno. I was playing the Natiti.  It's an extreme instrument Yeah, I was wondering because I realized that Never I had never asked what this instrument was called and and how it's built Yeah, so this instrument as I said, it's called the Natiti Natiti It's it's actually one of the oldest tools or equipment that we have my tribe is called the Luo and Yeah, the Luo tribe and we come from the northern part of Sudan So southern Egypt and we traveled with this instrument along the night So it carries a lot of our history It carries a lot of our stories. It's an ancient instrument The reason like this, um, I feel like this this instrument is important to me because it's the nucleus of Of african music is the nucleus of our music in our tribe and my art is about the combination of the now And the then so this instrument represents You know our our source. This is our resource and we take our resource And we use that inspiration to make the kind of work that you've seen Um in the screen Yes, and that's the work of bold theater company, right? Yes, that's the work of bold theater company. Uh, this particular work We collaborated by a wonderful wonderful lady called pauli rune Who I met at a wonderful wonderful place that was umbria Invited by la mama. So, you know, since it was like a dream come true, you know, I met a lot of you know, really interesting people and um, so what happened is the same way during the During the when the covered covered 19th thing happened We had a project that we were already showcasing or we are planning to showcase on stage But we had to put it online so that it continued And so I reached out to paula and asked Before and asked her to submit some work so that you know, she could share some work because we had a platform called bold memoir And kenyans on this side really loved how she worked And most of them asked for a workshop. So I requested if paula could do a workshop with a few artists a lot of people um What what you call a sub? A lot of people Um, the water's gone Whatever And then it's submitted. Yes. Thank you It was that simple and we got eight We got eight from kenya And also we got eight participants from paraguay. So this was the first time we were working with that with paraguay Most of us did not even know most of us only knew paraguay from football right With artists and they were just fabulous So what you think is um, we are going to launch this maybe also in a week's time and we'll see 16 pieces So that'll be acceptable to The worldwide web Yes, yes, please. It's gonna be on our first page And uh, and also maybe through zoom us. We are going to do say one last reunion and talk about the work Ah, yeah, yeah, I can't wait such powerful images and and you have such incredible artwork in your home and incredible artists in your home too Thank you very much. I'll be connected with you Thank you cool Well, I can't wait to see what bold theater company does next and I'll see it very soon Which is incredible that we get to see everything on on the internet like this Yes, cool. Okay next time Never leave. All right. Thank you Okay, a rojotiano and his incredible collaborators In both kenya and paraguay All right. Thank you bruno. Thank you herbert Cool. Okay. So next like I promised we are going all the way to london to the river tens and without further Oh, no, did I just start to do an accent? That's terrible. That's just terrible Um, okay. So we've got a long time lamama collaborator great jumps company repertory company member Peter case Dear little sister You'll be happy to know I now have a fantastic view of the river. You've always loved in fact Other than being in the water or indeed submerged within it the view from my place of residence Could not be better I feel safe here most times The sounds of the city slowly sighing its final breaths is diminished here Especially if I stay under the bridge It is good to be under the bridge Because I cannot see or be seen by the passing traffic The stones above me were placed by hands Long before all of the hands became contaminated long before the hands became a number to keep us apart That was when thoughts were clean and the mind was not infested with the pestilence When colpepper said the disease was not catching and did not move from person to person or house to house Do you remember that before time? I asked you that once If you remembered that when then you said What since the vermin and the disease spread throughout the city fell in commoner and king alike and what little system of social welfare Was in place was washed away with the many bodies floating in the river and the fires broke out And the kind people became criminals and the criminals became murderers and the murderers took the opportunity To take advantage of the kind people before eating them while the food ran out and homes became graveyards And graveyards became the pit and the pit is burning like a river which became the graveyard the home and the pit And serves us our dinners riding rats on the bodies floating downstream And when our friends died then our families died and the really rich people ran away and died and died And the impoverished stayed put and died and when holding became touching and touching became breathing and breathing became looking And looking became longing and longing became a long distance away to look listen touch and feel When the distance between us became 16 palms and 16 palms it has stayed And you came to our house and you told me we must go away Because the vermin had to get a disease and the disease had to get hatred and hatred had taken up arms And the wars would be small before they became big The when when you said you only wanted to look after ourselves That you only wanted to look after me and you said we should maybe get in a boat And float the boat out to sea and drift off onto the unpolished horizon That when Is that the when you mean I said yes And you said no That you had no memory of the when before you said that all you could see was mother's face Desiccated and half eaten by rats and father's skull chewed clean But whose gelatinous eyes still cried you went to get water To wash our family clean you came down to the river But you never came back So I am on the river that you loved my dear sister Eating the rats riding rafts of corpses as they float downstream I am near our house and these are the rats that ate our father and ate our mother and now I eat them You left me with their faces, which I keep with me in my isolation, but I do not have your face my dear sister I will keep paddling to stay under the bridge to keep away from the shore I will paddle while I eat and I will paddle as I sleep I will keep paddling until the world is dust along with my memories Much love your big brother Peter In case Holy shit Peter Hello, hello Oh, hello Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you Hey, Maddie Hey Hi How you doing? Okay, I'm okay. It's um It's only raining a little bit. Oh I don't even notice somehow the the rain isn't hasn't made its way into the live stream We should not crank it up a lot that creates more Peter how did you how did you how did you make? I guess my main question is what the hell And what is going on and how did you do this? Well, it's a good question. Uh I think it kind of came about for several several on several different sort of in several different layers maybe like the the the text and um I wanted to delve into isolation this idea of isolation and uh And obviously the experience of what we're all going through and A boat in the Thames seemed like um A good and very interesting metaphor if not a very literal literal one in terms of isolation when you're in a big city Um, and then I guess also just I want to experiment with working with these different places that one could produce Could make work Finding unique sites and Just exploring those possibilities really and it's been very difficult not to be able to do the work and to have the work stopped You know because of all this so Yeah, I mean, I've just been thinking about all the the Opportunities of distance not no longer. It's it's I mean it's a backwards way to think of it as an opportunity but you're a longtime great jones repertory company member and you've been in london and Now We're here making work together and I think that that What did you say said again, sorry, sorry your paddling got in the way. Oh, but that always happens Right. Don't worry But yeah, the opportunity of distance and that you can do you can collaborate with This company you've worked with so for so long and and with la mama It's made my um, it's made my it's made, you know, it's made the isolation so much more Colorable really just to be able to connect with the great jones rep rep and la mama, you know again In this way it meant a lot a huge amount to me. Actually, it's really I really have felt very far away for quite a long time It's great And just to reiterate here you are literally On the river 10s how we say it which I googled Yeah in a canoe in a canoe with a computer And a camera morning Right And revelers occasionally walking along the riverbank are people going out in london like uh, is there people out? Yeah, yeah, those people out people are right now. Um, I guess it's a bit slow for it's a bit quiet for a friday, but um That's to be expected. I would say um I was getting heckled a little bit ago, which was Which was nice to you know, it was nice to see at least Yeah, perfect All right, peter Thank you very much, netty. It's privilege first performance from from leany water You can take that accolade home with you and uh put it on your mantle I will Okay, see you soon I'm gonna paddle home On you go on you go Thanks, peter All right, it's hard to fully comprehend. I know Yeah, and he was in mud all over him. So I just yeah, and he also Burned his jeans. So I just there's a lot of things going on here any way now. We're going to go to another home in london by way Um split riches is a is a performance duo and many other things duo of peggy And lowest weaver and they found themselves in lockdown in london In this two-story house and they will be one of the resident artists of lamam this upcoming 59th season And we're going to show this video work that is That they've given to us for the evening to kick off the the work that they will continue to develop throughout the whole next Which we're so excited to so um peggy. Shaw is the first video artist Paintings here we go Hello, here. I am in isolation in london having a very good time in my backyard and Painting all the time. I just wanted to share with some of you my mask paintings because To me the mask is the symbol of all Unity right now where we're all in this together and we respect each other enough To wear a mask if you're sick and wear a mask if you don't want to get sick so Here are my mask paintings music from vivian store with the paintings She is working with us on our new show the last guest Peggy Shaw will see more from lowest weaver in a little bit But now um again as I promised we are going to berlin germany and los angeles. This is a collaborative duo Well, really trio um, you'll see this Is lisa muller trader chris limbach and michael ferrera Lisa and chris. I have you here But I think the truth is that we had a little problem with the sound Oh, really? I know, but can we hear you hear me now? I hear you just fine, and I've heard the sound the whole time But it we're having I just want to make sure it's going through the live stream So this has been our summertime curse But now we're here so Hello, here's lisa and here's chris So Look, I don't know exactly what everybody got. I mean, I got it all I got it all straight to the heart and now I see lisa covered in paint and Wind flow hair flowing in the wind and chris's hair Sweated on his forehead What's up What's this collaboration like? chris is in berlin lisa's in los angeles and um You guys have been working together Yeah, it's actually been maybe even easier now, right? Like because I've been here for a while and before that you were obviously like physically together But now that the virus We've been doing a bit of stuff Because everyone's doing it this way now. We feel all except for that. It's a bit late over there again Yeah, yeah, it's definitely bad time already and um yeah and we did collaborations a lot before and um Yeah, we just kept doing it kind of and adapted it to to the Streaming thing I guess Yeah, so um, this video this this What what we just saw can you tell me a little bit about What we saw and how you how you've made it? Yeah, I mean We throw the camera back and forth chris doesn't catch it most of the time he just doesn't so we've Throwing it to him He's unfortunately not here right now with me And yeah, he really is not so great at the game called camera catch. Exactly. Michael's not good at it in front of it. So, you know, he got um, so yeah, it's uh, it there's it's just us in in this space and then we um, we kind of Get it back and forth And what's it and I so some of our live stream viewers might not have heard all of the the live scoring that chris was doing um But can you tell us a little bit about the live scoring that you do and maybe show a little bit? just what you But what what each thing does No, usually yeah, what we do is is we try to treat sound and video Kind of the same way right like i'm thinking At an expanded cinema situation and having a video and doing live scoring to it I I just have a lot of machines here. I use for for sound generation. So I would like to maybe the most funny thing is this The milk frother Yeah, what you do that you use for making cappuccino's or something so I can I would use that for example, so good. I have a lot of tape machines some synths and but mostly working with feedbacks and um And electromagnetic waves that just pick up from the equipment itself. So it generates an own loop of sound That then interacts with the video Incredible and lisa your background is video art somewhat and a little bit too Yeah, I guess like uh, I um I'm a performer, but then I integrate media a lot because I yeah, it's kind of um A nice way of getting Now it's quite nice to get into the frame, but usually you know to get out of that frame that the the performative realm kind of Set to you and so I like going back and forth usually maybe in like a Performative exhibition.  You got a little something uh, a little something there and you're uh, Not a michael and then I I got sweaty. So it's kind of on my hands and I do that a lot Yeah Right Cool Yeah, I got I got a lot of ice here. So I didn't get cut Didn't catch the blue. So I I bought like two kilos of ice to cool down my computers and everything So the paint didn't stuck with me. It just Totalist iced out of you Makes perfect It's so much better with that ice Well done. Yeah. Yeah, it's much better the computers love love the ice So Cool. Well, I'm glad nobody was harmed in the making of this. I mean, I hope but we don't know Back to your respective time zones, please enjoy the rest of your um late night in berlin chris and your Early evening in los angeles. Thank you Thank you very much. Thank you All right So We were that that's concludes the international portion of the evening Um, we were in Nairobi, Kenya, london, england and just berlin germany, which is Very exciting. Um We are now shipping back stateside where we'll have some more performances and In the interim I might take this moment to discuss my appearance my Lovely new earrings, which if you've been following downtime variety have been a minor motif a minor character If you will these are done by verna estes who is my longest best friend in the world um And oddly enough this shirt is also from verna and uh And my friend zoe who got it from this little store. I don't know if you might have heard of it in berlin They were actually in in germany. Yeah, it's called zara. I don't know if you've heard of it Just this little boutique they came across in germany so, um Here we are and and why don't I also take this opportunity to be um transparent We are getting our next performer in who has a multi camera setup, which we're trying to work out right now We've got one camera in and we're waiting for the next um How you doing? Good kind of reminds me of the pixar lamp So we've been doing downtime variety for Since march 20th of 2020 and we're going to keep going For as long as we need to and it'll change if we need it to too, but I just wanted to take this moment also to say that um If you have the possibility to donate would be deeply appreciated um because we're just Find in ways to serve Yeah, I think we should Yeah, so now we're going to um actually go to a A video the second in the series from split britches and um This is the next work, which is from lois weaver an incredible performer Oh garcy, uh I mean worth the wait. That's what I would say worth the wait Hello there mora would you yes? how Man that got me grooving the music I mean the dance and the music so good Original music, right? Yes, original music by mark gabriel little So amazing and is that a collaboration that you go to often? Yes, it's actually my brother That makes it so much better. Yes. It does make it better, but um We didn't always work together. We probably started Maybe our first I think want to say our first kind of largest project was about five years ago Five years ago Wow the family connections run deep in this piece Yes Yes, so So what's can you tell us a little bit about what it was like to create this piece and and where it's coming from? Yeah, um So I have a Other piece called they are still talking or see Wonny uh chalegi coffee um And actually I didn't even introduce myself newy died out with all. Uh, I mean gilohi digi young me chief chalegi. No, I'll let you madam escape uh I'm mora newy died chalegi coffee a long hair clan cherokee and madam escape But yeah, uh, so as a part of a larger piece which was about Our connections to our ancestors through breath our connections by gesture Our connections through trauma our connections through joy And then I started thinking about Those were more like about the long ago ancestors. Uh, maybe ancestors from 10 000 years ago that we never even But they prayed for us and uh But then I started thinking about the closer ancestors the people that I had That had taught me that I had grown up around that I had lived around and um And what their teachings were and what their actions were so the idea was to make a little base choreography off specific things from those people Yeah, so, um One of the pieces where I'm lifting up my legs and I'm falling over it I had my cousin uh midi my called my grandma cousin. She's like grandma She Had broken her leg when she was Younger and never they didn't have any money and so it it didn't heal right. Yeah Completely straight all the time. So You know when she had to get out of a chair She had to do this weird thing when she threw her leg straight and you know Hoisted herself up out of the chair. It was really amazing to watch her do this. Yeah, and she you know She didn't even even when she um had other mobility problems. She didn't want help with that. She said no because if If I get help now then I won't be able to do it later right Yeah So that's where the idea for the piece came from is from either movements or teachings from different people and that's such a Close way to meet a person through that gesture like that's so informative And and personal and everyday and casual but full And and you have those those numbers that you did with your hands What's the what's the significance of those numbers? Yeah, and before I forget I want to just say on ig live i'm going to be talking with the composer my brother 10 o'clock eastern time. So we'll be going tonight. Yeah tonight after the after party Yeah, that's the after party But the numbers four and seven Are very important to a lot of native people to us as the Cherokee people to a lot of native people in general and so That's why they're in there, but particularly one of the the ancestors Who for me, he's my ancestor because he taught me Even though he's not my blood ancestor was Andy Gerdid Josiah Geza, and he You know, he was one of those teachers that always Because he wasn't also a professor his you know teacher at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas And uh, he would repeat himself sometimes. So, you know, you know how teachers will always repeat himself And when he was just talking he could be talking about anything But a lot of times he'd come back to Florence You know, he'd say well, you know four and seven those are very sacred numbers to Indian people And he would go on and tell some other story. So that's in his honor just remembering Mr. Mr. Gerdid, you know the four and the seven And I love that too because um one of Lamama's buildings. Well really two, but so Lamama has 47 Great Jones street And three four east fourth street Oh, wow So The fours and the sevens going on Yeah Yeah cool Maura so good to meet you through Your ancestors and through this amazing performance, which I hear was the first you've done live In quarantine Yeah, um, my last performance was at caldera arts in Oregon sisters organ. It was um, I just finished a C and it was the residency showing It was a huge Beautiful space with beautiful wood floor an open window with you know, the woods and mountains And you know, all these people showed up from all over and so it was a was a full audience There are people standing in the back. So that was my last time performing. It was About two weeks before sat down You know, I'm glad it was I know And and so this you know You will you can't you all can't see but I have literally everything in this room pushed to one side and Yeah, I've made this stage here. Is that I'm sure everyone else has been doing what there's? So it's it's very different, but I'm just as happy to be doing it because It's nice to do something. It was nice to do something live. Yeah I feel like we should all share our Behind the scenes setups like the photo of the non stage that makes the stage possible I don't know how to do that Yeah, there's a reason it's not on stage Cool mora, you're amazing. Thank you so much. I'm so glad that we got to work together tonight tonight Cool Okay Thank you so much for having me. Bye.

Shawna Davis Here she comes miss Shawna Davis Hey there I need you to unmute yourself I guess I meant it when I said sunny Los Angeles Very sunny Los Angeles. Oh my gosh And very hot I hear Yeah about 100 degrees but Damn Lovin it Lovin You're from Florida I am So Florida is no stranger to you That's true. I just saved it for a little while. I prefer to see Rather than the cold Hold it down in our respective quadrants of the Whatever So Shawna I first Just I'm so glad to Have you back on the show. That's incredible It's it's so great to continue working with you and You're one of these people who's starting to really Work from dance and from movement but to explore what it's like to create in a new way With this form and like You danced it you Created it you conceptualized it and Did you do the audio editing is what's the I am But yeah, I'm I'm coming into this new place where I'm trying to use dance as a tool um to tell a story outside of the like personium setting Um and for it to be something that I utilize Um and something supportive and I've never really Used or seen dance in that way. So Um actually in the making of this piece The movement is what I struggled with the most Have the idea I was really fascinated by the dull tests of The 1950s which helped round versus where the case board of education and helped integrate schools Um, so I was already really fascinated by that Um, I had this idea that someone older should be reading it So my mom read it and um, she actually went to segregated school. So it's Kind of a nice kind and she saw them integrate. Wow And yeah, um, I'm trying right now to find how my movement Fits into these different settings So I'm excited to be able to explore that book here and with the residency. Yes. Yeah um so So this piece came from these dull tests Yeah, which can you just tell me a little bit about those those tests? Yeah, so um, they asked the standard question that My audio began with like who's the prettier doll who's the smarter doll which one looks most like you um And they asked a series of these questions to black children On that all of the positive traits The black children the point to the white doll would attribute these positive things for the white doll and vice versa And they determined that they had a The kids had a low Very low self-image and that they were emotionally and physically damaged. So It's kind of hard. Um Because this test is super flawed Right, I'll just say this or that white or black. That's not the world that I really want to live in um, but it is A reality and it was a reality. So I thought about how to imagine Other questions and elicit a different response Without giving the answers away Yeah, and some of the questions I was like, ooh Good question and some of them are they they're just too spot-on Yeah Well Okay, well here I go the michael jackson question. I was like, ooh good question and then the um I mean obviously every question but the the bilingual in ebonics and then the um I thought that one that one line that you wrote the about the nod Was so powerful too. Thank you Yeah, I try to dig into my own Definitely, obviously My own experiences and what I'm proud of and Things that upset me and hearing my mother read these things over. Um Unless it's a certain emotional thing Thank you. Thank you Mama shana davis. Yeah, she's here. Yes She is Great shana Thank you so much.   Can you bring your feet? um On the diagonal and then looking at the camera And then maybe we have you walk downstage, but there's a draft of something that you can give a go Um, let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much Joshua william gelb With katie rose mclochlin his collaborator who it's gonna join us live and just has So I see josh and I see katie rose Hi Hey katie rose You did it we've done it how's the how's the audio check check There's always like some button that needs to be pressed before you can start talking Or like five Now audio and basically the vein of this entire project I like I like that as the um The less technical understanding of sound there's always some button, you know what I mean So wow, I mean you all have been working since the beginning of this whole Uh lockdown and And before that still right can you tell us a little bit about your collaboration and how you've been working together Sure Hey rose do you want to start? Um, josh and I have been working together for uh a little over 10 years, which is crazy Um Because time is just flying. Um, so we've known each other and we've collaborated on a number of projects before um I feel like josh actually you should talk about So yes, we've been working basically on this project theater and quarantine since the beginning of um the stay at home orders Like basically sort of the middle of march. Um josh, you should talk a little bit about what What you did what compelled you to build a tiny white space out of a closet? Maybe Yeah, well, uh first off probably worth mentioning. I live alone Uh, I don't know if I would have done this if it had been otherwise So I Had a lot of time on my hands and a lot of solitude to deal with and Uh, very quickly. I went through all of the like Random odd job household projects. I wanted to get done and I started looking at this closet and very quickly realized it was the same aspect ratio as my iphone and uh Started to imagine what it would be like to think of the closet as a new type of proscenium and uh very quickly painted it and uh cleaned it up and uh brought in katie rose and a bunch of other collaborators and we've also Uh, trying to explore what it means to make theater digitally and in the closet Which is much smaller, uh Then it appears on I know I was like wow that guy has a pretty big closet But I realized it's not too sweet too teeny deep too deep. It's not that big. It's not that big folks Don't get jealous. I got jealous. It's don't get jealous Um, that's so amazing. I'm wondering how How has this transformed you? Wow It's been really Rewarding being able to actually develop an artistic practice. I think theater artists in new york in particular Uh Don't have that ability. I have my own space Uh that I can work in and kind of You know be my own gatekeeper, uh is Uh really like a beyond anything I could have uh A dreamed would come of this right so yeah Yeah, and then of course the ability to work with these other artists who I mean otherwise You know to give them an outlet to be working has been really wonderful Right. I feel like that's such a huge part of it is just sort of breaking up the permission Of when you can do something and how which You know, it's not all good obviously, but um And and then we have new barriers like on like okay, I'm going to youtube or facebook Oh, yeah Those all those new territories and new terrains, but there's lots of obviously you've explored them deeply Well under technology itself, which is like impossible barrier As as we all learn because you know, it's we're always played by technical difficulties There's always a better program or a better piece of equipment and uh, that's the frustrating part But in some ways, I think the grappling with technology uh It has in some ways transformed Uh the theater I would have otherwise made into something that feels particularly Relevant now. I don't know if I would have said that about my work prior to that right Yeah, and and it's also something that is um A lot of people are feeling is is the the the both barrier and Opening of world that technology has the possibility of doing and just like but still for you and katie rose to be able to really explore these deep emotional places Through through the technology as opposed to it just being like look at this funky loop pedal I've got like that's not actually the story here. The story is Deeper somehow. I mean well you saw our dress rehearsal, which was look at this funky loop pedal. We've got But that's often I mean katie rose you can speak to that process because I I think Sometimes finding the toys is our way in totally it we found that that The way that we've started most of our most successful projects has been I mean The first piece that we ever made was called corners and it's just mostly a movement piece And and that was just josh being like hey, I turned my closet into a white box Like what does that mean? Um, and then he was like, oh, I found out that I can turn the box Um, and so we just made a very simple movement piece But also I was like josh. How are you feeling? What is happening in your life right now? Um, and so we sort of incorporated Like very much what was going on? You know in new york at that moment while we were making it And and it found out that it was this piece that was like deeply deeply emotional in a way that That I quite frankly and josh uses technology so much more than I do But as a movement practitioner, I you know, I'm used to just bodies and rooms That I found out these pieces could actually be like quite resonant and quite emotional Even though we're you know, we work together via zoom I you know, I choreograph without being able to be in a room with him But yeah, so we start with these like pieces of technology.  What story does it tell like how? How can we use it in 15 different ways? Like what's most effective? And that's been fun the ability to have like to really explore together I feel like we probably Have more of a collaboration than we ever have before because it's you know, it's not like we go away and then come back It's like we spend hours sort of trying to figure it out and then like calling each other and then coming back and being like, oh I think I let's try this That's been really exciting. You don't have to come up with like a really good reason to work together. You can just have a I'm I'm bored or I I'm lonely or oh, I just have the smallest idea in the world and I want to share it with you It makes the collaborations a lot more I also there's there's this one line that a teacher of mine once said is that which is probably said often no solo show is made alone and The story is is so about this this character of josh in this void tiny box alone and that that reads so much but But the the actual story of the collaboration which I love that you brought it out in this short piece Is the relationship also that that of katie rose and josh, which is a Also, I mean, it's a disjointed friendship of of katie rose teaching the choreography without having another person there, but Kid Rose never been in the closet if if i'm correct. I mean since the past five months never not once um We have not seen each other face to face uh in five months Yeah Funny we were talking last night, um, which is Because beyond just being bored beyond just being lonely. We've been sort of building ourselves a pretty rigorous schedule.  We usually do thursdays um How the loneliest part is? You know after the show is over and we've had you know, we had a drink on over the phone together and Oh, there you go And uh, and then still we have to say goodbye and we're kind of left out to our own devices And I think in some ways we woke up this morning and we were planning to build one piece about a looping Pebble and then we just kind of sat in In that feeling from the night before and something else My my my trick because we've also been I relate to so much what you said because we have also embraced the sort of rigorous Yeah, they're enough working in some ways, but my and we would hang out afterwards and talk and be like, uh that mess up that mess up Oh, but that was great. Um my way of like commuting home or like changing is just to Bring back the space to neutral because I've always destroyed my my home Oh, yeah, josh is like josh. Yeah josh can never quite The thing about our rigorous schedule is that josh actually can't be like he has to strike the day after the shows But then he has to get me was probably in the middle of rehearsal for another piece that that loads that loads in the next day too good well, you guys are doing such incredible work and um it's gonna continue and For for all sorts of reasons not just because of quarantine. I keep on saying that there are always reasons that we can't Be together and that's not a good thing But that's reality and we we need to find out how to have meaningful collaborations and meaningful stories which So exciting that you're doing Yeah, thank you so much for having us. See you soon. Thanks natty. Thank you Okay That's all show so Thank you for joining us and thank you for sticking through if you have stuck through from the broken stream to the new stream Um, as you can see, it's a work in progress and we're working on it and we couldn't do it without you Um you watching at home? um Join us on september 18th and join us in this whole ongoing unfolding experiment to find out how we can Keep sharing our artistic voices through social isolation Stay safe A flower for you Okay We got a lot of credits credits here. See you Later. I was a bum


I've seen that there was a blanket laying by the gate over here, so I've seen it for some as I got up that morning, so I thought someone just came and got their laundry off and they dropped their blanket, so I played it back in my camera to see who it was. And when I did, I've seen them come off Kurt Robinson's boat with their arms loaded. They stole my pressure washer and two trips in his boat. It's tough. You feel violated and something needs to be done, but one thing about it is you're not going to come on this, Marina, and get away with stealing. It's not going to work for anybody.


What you need to know about the Winky Lux Experience Store is that it's a ticketed event. We charge you $10 to hold your spot in line and the reason for that is that the event is really magical when experienced in groups of four or five people, up to ten people at a time. And so we want to make sure everyone has this really magic, wonderful moment and has a chance to take lots of pictures. We're really excited about having that moment to have them completely immersed in the brand as opposed to just seeing it online. The idea behind the Winky Lux Experience is that each room is inspired by a best selling product. So when you walk into the flower room, you're really immersed in our flower balm product. We have this hero lip balm that is beautiful and clear but also contains a real prosanthemum flower. So we grow those in Brazil and they're hand placed inside the lipstick. It's a really cool way to feel like you're in this magical Alice in Wonderland style series of rooms. After that you walk into the rainbow room, which is a celebration of our 32 lipstick colors. So all kinds of just a beautiful celebration of color. There's also a miniature coffee shop. We have a whole collection of coffee scented and this was a great way to celebrate it. There's also a disco infinity room. We call it the disco karaoke room where our components are suspended from the ceiling and it looks like you're there forever. So once you close the door, you can't really see where it begins or ends. It's a blast.  It's an entire collection of lemon inspired plumper. A lot of questions that we've been asked over the years is how can I test this product in person before I buy it and this is a place where you can come in and try every single color, match it with your concealer and really have a moment to make sure it works for you.

One spot gets you two teams and there's an early bird special. So if you're one of the first 10 spots purchased right here, you have a chance at an extra spot. The early bird catches the worm. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Three times. Name on top after three. One, two, and congrats to Zach Paul. Wow. I feel like Zach's been winning a lot of these sorts of things. All right, there you go Zach. Keep the heat check going. Never know. Never mess with that hot streak. All right, so now let's do team assignments. One spot gets you two teams and all 30 NBA teams are in. It's not prepared. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Four and a four. Eight the hard way. One, two, and eighth and final time. After eight, we've got Obadiah down to Brian. We had the last spot. Mojo is in the last spot. Hard eight for the teams. And eighth and final time. Good luck. After eight, we got the T Wolves down to the Hornets. Now remember this is 2018-19 edition. So keep that in mind. And we'll give you another, I will give you an extra minute or two for trades. Pause the video after I read off all these teams. All right, Obadiah with the T Wolves. Chris with the Spurs. Jesse with the Bulls. Mark with the Jazz and Pistons. Matthew with the Sixers. Zach with the Grizz and the Kings. Matthew with the Nuggets. Obadiah with the Thunder. Zach with your early bird spot. Nick's your other early bird spot. Nets. Nick's a Nets.

Brian with the Bucks. Chris with the Mavs and the Magic. Oliver with the Clippers. Jesse with the Wizards. Ryan with the Hawks. Jimmy, you got my Lakers. Ryan with the Warriors. Sean with the Raptors. And Brian with the Charlotte Murder Hornets. All right, let's get to all that on one screen. Let's sort by team by Column B. Let's grid these up and center them up nicely. We're in a positive video. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's any any trades and then we'll have the quick little five box break. Be right back. All right, and we're back. All right, so there's the five boxes right there. No trades. List is printing out as we speak. Quick little blaster break. Here's the final print out right here. Hot off the presses. Thanks for spending a bit of your Tuesday with us. Don't forget to pre-order Mosaic tonight. The hobby version of Mosaic is finally out. So pre-order tonight and we'll be ripping a ton of those tomorrow. In fact, we may even you may even call it on the slightly earlier side to prepare for all of that Mosaic tomorrow. So if you want to break tonight, I would get into your spots early and often to attempt to get the break that you want to do filled before before we're out. All right, hollow Dirk, the Anthony Melton. I think it's only veteran commons that won't ship but stuff like that Hassan White side will ship. All right, there's Aaron Holiday raided rookie. All right, so nothing significant there. Onto the next one. A couple of these at a time. All right, good luck, everybody. What did my schedule say coming up after this will be an optic football retail tag. Then the football mixer and then playbook filled after that. And then we'll go through some more orders and see what's going to fill after that. And as we anticipated, I think it looks like just judging from the rate of orders that are coming in. Looks like it's naturally going to be sort of a slightly slower night because everybody's looking ahead to tomorrow. Mosaic basketball and Friday. Bowman baseball, select baseball. It's gonna be a busy week, folks. Prepare your bodies, prepare yourself. If you're working from home, get all that stuff done early so you can watch Jaspies with us all week long. There's a raided rookie hollow D Anthony Melton. That'll be for Zach and the sons. Gary Trent Jr. Rated rookie. Parallel. That'll be for Zach and the trailblazers. Steven Chenzo. Zach Randolph Hollow. Jared Vanderbilt. And a Gordon Hayward checkerboard. That's for the Celtics. That's for Matthew D. Maybe a monster in these last two boxes here. We'll have a break schedule. I'll show you the break schedule after this after these two boxes test. Hang on for a few minutes. I don't have a setup in my automated chat. I don't have the button for that setup yet. And I think we have one more five box break of this to finish off the case. So that should be up at some point tonight. We can run this back. Where are you going? Hollow Delvedova Joe Ingalls. Costas onto to combo.  Jared Vanderbilt. It's like sounds like Jason's pulling heat here. Justin Jackson raided rookie. And looks like nothing earth shattering in this one lays in jell-in. Unless no unless nothing earth shattering here boys and girls but there'll be five more boxes in the store at some point on jaspiescasebreaks.com was last five might have something really cool. So there you go. That was 2018 2019 Panini Donner's optic basketball five box blaster edition random team three. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye bye


How's it going everybody? DatoDoy here with a team full of Vegeta's going up against a very solid team here, Bardock selling Vegeta. He is on a ranked-down match though, so let's go ahead and see if we can finish whatever somebody else started, I guess. I don't know where he just came out of, but going into it. Vegeta, let me hear that scream. Alright, we skipping it. We've all seen Bardock's intro. Alright, I'm glad I was able to block that. We're already going into a combo. This is what I like to see, so we're going to get that sliding knockdown. Oh, I can't believe I dropped that. Let's go. I'm not going to follow up with a vanish. That is fine with me. I will. Is this going to kill? It's not. Overestimated my damage, but is it going to switch in? No. Back dash. I guess that was where the switch in was coming in. Oh, it didn't clash. Well, we're out of the corner, so that's fine. Oh my god, can we get Bardock back in? That's what I'm hoping for. Oh wow, he brought Bardock back in. No way, dude. He just mashed it out. Wait, whoa, whoa, he's lost his mind. He really has lost his mind. That's okay. Just got to back dash and sweep the leg. A lot of people complain about people spamming Bardock's auto-combat. Same as any other auto-combat. Just got to block that. Let me catch that EX leg drop. Ooh, bad maneuver. All right. I was about to say, if he hit me already, is he going to go with the auto again? Ooh, optimal? I don't know if that's optimal. I'm not a Vegeta player. I really did try to down-heavy that. Yeah, I'm going to have to take my word on it. Uh-huh. Sliding? Okay, and that was, oh, back dash. Oh, it didn't work. I knew he was going to come in, but I thought if I clashed, I would win. I don't know the numbers. Really? There we go. That's what we want to see here. Go ahead, take the floor. Back dash. Uh-huh, uh-huh. We don't even want the corner, do we? Back dash. Yeah, I like what I'm seeing here, dude. Team of Vegeta's working well together. Powering up and down on a win. Why did I bring Super Saiyan Vegeta? And he has the best assist. I should have probably kept him out. Oh, God. All right, all right.  Knock me down, but I'm going to get up again. And down. Tag him. Oh, missed time. Missed red and missed time. All right, I do got to start playing... Jumped up. That was not what you want to see. Oh, okay. Mmm, goodbye. Game one goes to us. It's a pretty solid, pretty solid. Obviously, you know, at the middle part there, he started throwing out some lights. But, you know, you just got to punish that appropriately. Back dash. Yeah. Oh, no. Misunderestimated the Vegeta. Mmm, there we go. Keep the space. We're already in. Whiffed it down heavy. Oh, wow. That did not come out fast enough. Not even down heavy. I'm at whiffed and knee. That's fine. Just trying to get some good wake-up game there. Super Saiyan stay on the ground? Yeah. Super Saiyan stay on the ground. Uh-uh-uh. I have answers to that, but I'm just not using them. Missed red. Missed red, missed timed. How many times am I going to get to say that this game? Extending it? Kamehameha? Wow, what is... This guy's letting me get away with murder. Oh, I didn't get to punish that? I mean, I probably could have if I would have reacted faster. Okay, I would like to leave now. I can't believe it. I think he was just looking for a normal super dash. Tag in? I agree. Okay. Trying to click buttons, but Cel is too tall for that, my dude. I'm not going to get to switch in, am I? Alright, just go low. Got a block on wake-up, dude. Oh, no. And, missed timed. I would love if Vegeta could live, by the way. Just personal preference. Wow. He got the most mileage he could have out of that. You know, I would be upset if I wasn't a reading master. Okay, that was not the read I had set out. I thought he was going to jump. That's fine. Knock me down. Vegeta on Vegeta? Super Saiyan Standing Ground? Back dash? I cannot believe it! Wait, I can't lose blue this early. I tried quick tagging.  Because I was just, I'm never playing defense. Like, my mind just gets stuck on one thing. Okay, I'm glad that worked out. Just a little bit of delay on offense. Let me get that sparking out. Oh, wow, this sparking is going to save him here. Oh, it don't be. It ran out. Unfortunate. Is he going to yix me? Hmm. Oh, that was bad. I can't believe I didn't get my level three out. Alright, he gets some wake up game. And I have no options here. I'm just going to have to eat the mix up. You would have thought we out here. We're coming at you. Okay. Super dash did not work. On reaction though. Goodbye. Shout out to the island. You served us well. Your time is over though. Alright, I feel pretty good about our chances here. Hmm. That wasn't even a super dash. Oh, you already know we're doing the level three again. Oh no. No. Okay. How many times? I tried it down heavy, but I think I clicked down key blast. Darn. No, I backed dash. Save me. Run into this. I didn't mean it, dude. Damn. My hero academia? They call me Shinzo. I would have left too. Shinzo, I think. I don't know his name. Alright, and enough of that short, short break. We are back with team big boys. Nugganator. What the? They am not a fan? I like it, dude. I wish I was playing Krillin right now. Never mind. We're not even on the right map. Expected. Okay. Oh no, not the Broly. Not Broly against me. Ah, too slow. Okay, it tossed me around, but I get up again. Sliding. What's the mix up? Low. Wow, that did not work. Whoa, whoa, is that a... Did I not block that or is that a grab? Well, questions for later. Questions for the comment section. There we go. We're moving in. Ooh, you would have thought... You would have thought that was a real block string. Mmm, Broly is down. Leaving only his two big bodies left. Nappa and 16. Okay, that opened me up. Oh, very nice. He saw it coming. Oh, that combos. Nice, he can kill. Level 1, level 3. Yep. Very cool stuff. Flash! Goodbye, base... I mean, that wasn't base Vegeta, that was Super Saiyan Vegeta, which is actually worse for the team considering I love that assist, but... Reads. Oh, I'm glad that tied with him. Oh, I didn't block. I held it for a second, but then let it go. Oh, wow. Not the outcome I would have liked to see. No level 3? I disagree in this case. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't... Oh, that's unfortunate. I was trying to spam out sparking, down tech sparking. But I got down tech final flash, which to be fair would have been sick if it worked. Damn. He's just throwing fists? Oh, body blocked by 16? Unfortunate. Oh my god, I do not like seeing this. You already know he had a plan. I... I can't believe it. The impenetrable wall? Okay. At least we got in. Oh man, the range on that bad boy. Can this kill? No, one level 1. It's not gonna kill. It's not gonna kill. Oh. Okay. Got him. That was tricky. Blown him away. Alright, now we just need to land like two combos on Nappa, which is gonna be difficult. Oh. Okay, come on. Yes! Ah, yes. Ah. Okay. Close. But no cigar, my fellow Nappa player. I'm not even fellow... my Nappa player. We are out here. Whew, that got the heart going. Ooh, unfortunate. Oh, too big of a body. Okay, that did not work out, but I think he tried to tech, so that was actually just good reaction by him. I didn't even know that combos. Oh my... Damn it. Damn it, that is unfortunate. He's block stringing me now. He knows that the grabs were too obvious before. Oh man, that is unfortunate. Okay, we gotta get Vegeta blue out of here. He's taken too much of a beating already. Oh, he knew I was gonna switch out. Wow, can't throw out two. Gotta stick to one. Or just delaying, man. I could do that, but let's be real. Me ain't doing that. Damn, stomped my heads up? Back dash? Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Let's go up, big boy. Take him up to the sky. Bring him back down. What's the mix-up? Dragon rush. Never would have seen that coming. Space dust. All right. Good. We got him conditioned to block that dragon rush now, so we're going to start doing something different. Man, shout out to the... Please. No, I can't afford to lose him just yet. Oh, what? I didn't die?  Get him. Somebody get him. No. No. No, no more. Oh damn, never lost a lot of life. Wow, my bad. Got him. No, nothing to reflect there.  Oh no. Destructive disc. Okay. Ha-ha. Cut the tail. Cut the tail, Vegeta. Cut the tail. A Saiyan's power is his pride. All right, next. Oh man, this is getting good. Random knee. Goodbye, cruel world. How cruel you could be sometimes. All right, if you could just... Back dash.  What? Huh? Dragon rush. He's a man that likes his reflex. Oh man, I went too high. Oh wow, nice. Oh wow, we actually converted off of that. Sick. I want Broly. That was not Broly. I got you guys. Got you guys good, huh? Mmm, gotty. Huh? Oh. No Vegeta? Whoa, it's like weirdly lagging. Dragon rush. It's like something weird's going on. I don't think it's like lagging per se, but that's not comboing. Oh, I don't think so. No kill. Mix up. Oh, we tech it. He thought I was going to do it, but I wasn't. I was just going to auto. Oh, baited it. All right, all right. Down. Please. Didn't work. Didn't work. Didn't work. All right, come on. Vegeta blue. Okay, going back. Going back. Let's show you some Vegeta blue kick stuff in here. Huh? Stending it. All the way to the corner. Sometimes I forget he can do that move in the air. Oh, you read it. Read it like a book. Dragon rush. We don't need to switch 16 in because I'm just going to kill him right here. Uh, guys, I was wrong. Guys, I was real wrong. Guys, big and correct. Yeah, the answer was not C for the multiple choice test, guys. I don't know Vegeta blue. He would have thought that assist was going to hit me. Wow. He almost got me. Dragon rush. All right, let's try to kill this guy because I could have swapped out.  Dragon rush again. Gotta tech him. Big bang. Okay. Okay. We've got a half health Broly to deal with. Other than that, we should be good. Oh, nice. Nice stuff. Nice stuff. Nice stuff. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, no. That's actually so bad. Is he going to get the hard knockdown though? He is. He be. How much damage? Oh, big. Oh, darn it. Uh-huh. Oh, wow. Forget it, dude. Oh, what are you reflecting? I can't believe. I'm just getting, I'm like playing against myself here.  I can't believe I forfeited the biggest lead just by playing like an absolute maroon. Oh, no. Come on in. Oh, come on. No. No. Oh, this video is so long. Damn it. Just because I wanted to finish it. 19 frame lag. Oh, just because I wanted to finish it. Thank you, brother. Thank you for the very inspiring message. Are you ready? Aye, Karumba, dude. All right. There we go. Finally. Okay. Okay, we're good. Really focusing on what I'm doing here. Hopefully this hits. It did, but barely. I didn't think I was in range for that. But I'll take it. It's free switching. Broly's still pretty low anyway, even if he does heal the max. Oh, man. I can't believe he was brave enough to click a button there. Oh, I'm dead. Dragging it out. Yeah, I'm dead. Playing Broly in though. Yeah. Kind of the downside of the route he went with. And now he has to, now Broly has to come in where he could face the seam. What? I didn't think he'd have enough time for that. Okay. Oh, man. Oh, come on, dude. Now I'm sweating. Okay. Really buying and dragging out the time here. What? Yeah. Okay. Just blowing it. How far does that push him back? Not at all if he does that. Yikes.  I'm just, I've lost it, dude. Yeah, see, I'm not even blocking anymore. Oh, beautiful. That's some big damage. Oh, man. I'm just getting stuffed at every turn. Okay. That was a bad two rounds. That was a bad two rounds for me. But can we make it a bad three rounds? Can we make it a bad three rounds is the question. Let's do it. All right. This time I'm going to take everything I've learned and we're just going to go for it. Oh, my God. All right. I got to stagger the buttons. That's what's really not getting him right now. My turn. No, not my turn. Really? Okay. Okay. Okay. I wasted sparking already, so that's not good. This dude got a huge Zenkai boost right now. Blocked. Okay. We are our turn. Oh, that caught me and it brings me right to the corner. Super punishing to get caught by dude.  I'm back. Keep my space. Okay. This looks like it should be the end of him. bounce him up. Yep. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Napa and 16. Oh, my God. Hello. Sir, I don't have a lot of time as you can clearly see your cybermen is coming. Cheap. Somebody called my service provider. They're getting fired. Okay. We got to get Vegeta out now. How we do that? That's a fake old classics. God, do you have to have the worst key blast ever, dude? Oh, man. Yep. It finally worked. Wow. I did not mean to drag and rush. That was supposed to be a vanish. Up. Now we go. Now we got to get Vegeta blue out of here. Nice. Very nice. Oh, I can't believe we missed that. Oh, he teched it. Oh, this is still the same Napa player from before. It feels like he's playing a different. Never mind. I can't believe that. Oh, wait. I wasn't blocking. I let go of my controller. No, I thought he was going to combo.  When you like, oh, they should have it. So you just let go. Oh, okay. You got to be kidding me. Should I wake up level three or should I just play defense? Am I going to live? This is going to be stressful. This is going to be a stressful ending. Come on, deck. Come on. Oh my God. I didn't think that would come out that fast. Well, good games to this guy. I really did throw it away those past two games. The last one was a little closer. But jeez, man. I got to go. I got to go take a break, man. I'm tired. All right.
