Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to Art of Awakening. My name is Ona Christie. If you don't know me, I am a spiritual, intuitive, and visionary artist, and I'm going to be sharing the latest painting today. These paintings are really kind of messages from the Akash, and so there's some definite wisdom that's coming through here. This is the painting right here, and it's kind of like a spirit frog. And what I love about this painting is that it's so in tune with the season. Right now we're in the season of springtime in the northern hemisphere, and I can feel it. Right now we've got the trees where I'm at in northern Michigan, just about to bud out. Some of them are just starting to bud out. It's really a beautiful time and a time where everything is springing to life. And it's really kind of interesting the downloads that I'm starting to get around right now where we're at in just kind of this whole progression of the Great Awakening. I'm feeling like this is like a really powerful time to start to, if you haven't already, start to really visualize what you want to manifest, what we want the new earth to feel like, to look like. This is a powerful, powerful time for kind of bringing things into being. So let's take a look at this image and see what it wants to say here. First of all, the frog spirit, I did tune in and got a message from him. So maybe we'll start with that. And he says, abundance is coming.  The earth will spring forth her bounty, but it is going to look lowly, he says. It's going to look like hard labor, the labor of hands. With your hands shall you build the new earth, as verily as with your minds. And in fact, your minds and hands will work together, must work together in celebration of life. Recognize that to everything there is a season. We will be plunged into darkness and the bitter cold of winter. But remember that you carry the sun within your soul. Okay, I think this is super significant because I'm feeling like, and I think a lot of us are feeling like, then we haven't seen the darkest night of the soul yet collectively. And I'm particularly feeling around next fall, there may be a shift in that direction. And so I think part of what this is, is like to kind of keep it in perspective. That old saying that it's darkest before the dawn. And there are always cycles, right? So let's take a look at some of the symbolism that's showing up in here. First of all, we've got all the eggs. That's abundance, but it's also the eggs are the seeds sowing the seeds of something new. And so it's like the thoughts that we think now, the vibrations that we set in place now, the infrastructure that we're starting to think about or starting to build now, that's what's going to grow up into this fabulous new form. But it may take a while. Eggs are just eggs. They're just the very, very beginning. And remember that a lot of eggs don't, not every egg is going to make it, but there's going to be enough of them. That's why frogs are so abundantly producing tons and tons and tons of eggs. All right. So this is a great time to be just like, you know, feel into those ideas, those creative ideas. It's a wonderful, wonderful time to get creative. One of the best ways to do that, I think, is through the arts, all of the arts. As we start to journal, as we start to paint, you know, we're getting more and more in touch with our creator selves, okay? Because this is the visualizing part, right? And this is a way that we can dialogue with spirit, dialogue with our higher selves, and we'll be receiving these images or sometimes it's direct downloads. Sometimes it's like, oh, I need to do this. I need to make this Oracle deck. I need to write this book. I need to start this business. I need to do whatever, but that's tapping into our creative essence. And sometimes it's like we may have a ton of, ton of ideas, right? And so this is a great time to brainstorm ideas or just to kind of go with those ideas and feel into them, and there may be some of them that take hold that we really want to manifest or follow up on. Okay, so I think just a lot of these symbols, the eggs, the grain, is just always an abundance kind of symbol. I love the trillium up here. And when I first started working with this, the first symbol that came up for this part, and it came up pretty strongly, was actually the Star of David, right? And so, but then when it wanted to come onto the canvas, it got this really organic and bringing in the trillium flower. And that's one of the things we're doing because our ideas, and we work with these spiritual forms, these spiritual truths, right? But then when we bring them into form in the earth, which is what we're here to do as starseeds, as light workers, as creative master builders of creation, it takes a little bit different form, right? It has to embody somehow, right? And so this trillium shape, this trillium flower here is sort of like embodying the macabre, right? Which is this vehicle for ascension. And it's connected with that pineal gland right here in the third eye. So I love that flower there. And then here, what just really struck me right away was the shape of the stripe of the frog. Really, it always just reminded me of hands. And so I thought it was interesting that this frog was talking about hands and using your hands to build. This, again, is referring to, you know, it's so easy to stay up here in the spiritual realms and to spend your time in meditation and to kind of retreat from the world, which when the world gets crazy, sometimes we need to do that. Sometimes we need to just retreat, right? And pull in our shells. But what we're really here to do is to bring that beautiful spirit, you know, into the earth and manifest it. And to do that, I think that's what he's referring to with the hands, is that it does require us to take action. Now we're going to be, we're looking at, you know, there's a lot of things shaping up that we're going to be just given a lot of abundance. But I want to just, a couple words about that is that if you look at any wild animal, they're always acting on their own behalf, right? They're always acting on their own behalf. And it's only when an animal becomes domesticated when they're just given and given and given and given so that they don't have to really, you know, fend for themselves at all. And so there's pros and cons. I think this is a pact between the animals and humans. It's like they get taken care of, but then they serve us, right? And so with some animals, they actually get eaten, slaughtered and eaten, or, you know, just harnessed and used. And so they give up their wildness. They give up their freedom in exchange for just kind of being taken care of. Now think about this in terms of what's shaping up in the world here. There's going to be a lot of kind of... I've had several people come to me and super excited. It's like they're going to be giving us all this stuff.  And that's great, but I think... And we can tap into that totally. Totally. And I'm not saying don't take it, but I'm saying be cognizant. Be aware if you're receiving something. Where's the energy of it, first of all? Feel into the energy and feel into, okay, how am I going to actually use this to my benefit in a way that is true to me, right? Because when you're receiving something, it's one of those little gift things, right? It's sort of this reciprocation thing that happens. And just be aware of, you know, can you take advantage of what's being offered? Because the sun also is something that offers without asking in return, right? So sometimes we're gifted out of grace with no expectation of return. And that's actually our inner soul will respond in a way that will end up with growth. This is the natural way of abundance that's there for us, right? And this is embodied by the sun. The sun shines out, it just radiates all this energy, and it's free for everyone on the earth. And then the plants come up, and the animals and everything has all this abundance in response. Just feel into that and feel into the other, which is like you're being given something, and there's this sort of undercurrent of, now you owe us, okay? And I'm saying this because this is a very, very common pattern of manipulation that can happen. And what can happen is that it ends up kind of pulling your energy out, just like, you know, you become sheep or cattle.  Remember, we are free. We are sovereign, right? You are a sovereign, free human being. You were born to be free. And so you have this choice to receive or not to receive, and you want to feel into, is this going to be roping me into something that isn't aligned, or is this something that I can receive in an aligned way and then use, remember the hands, the mind and the hands, can I use this to build the new reality that I'm creating? You can receive and become dependent, or you can receive and use that as seed money, right? As something to actually create with and as something to just fund the beautiful new world that you're building. All right, so enough of that. And one more thing. These plants here, there's four of them. There's mint. They are mint. And feeling to the symbols of mint, they kept telling me that we represent the angels. We represent the archangels. And if you look at the stem of mint, it's square. So that's four sides. And also these leaves come in pairs. So that's two. And I thought that was super significant too, because two is this number of the master builder. Four is the number of the angels. And they are in full flower. And if you think of mint or peppermint or wild mint, this is a very, very protective plant, okay? It tends to repel pests. And so here it is just sort of circling this frog. Frog is a very vulnerable creature. It's got a very thin skin. It absorbs everything. It's very sensitive, okay? So it's beautiful to have this mint plant around it. It's sort of like this protective and also a very strongly just vigorous kind of plant. So this is a huge amount of life, a huge amount of vigor here that we can tap into. Okay, this is some of the energy that's on the planet right now that we can really super tap into. And it requires just really focusing on it, focusing on, you know, what brings me joy? Where's the light? What feels vibrant and good and alive? You know, can I really tap into that? How does that feel within myself? You know, how does it feel when I'm feeling joyful, when I'm feeling creative? Feel the vibration of that in your body. Feel what it feels like in your body, okay? Because this is, once you start really getting used to, how does this feel in my body? This is something when the sun goes down, when the snows come, when it gets cold and when it gets dark, you can remember and use that creative aspect of visualization within yourself and remember bring back to your body the feelings, you know, along your body to remember those feelings. That's how we hold vibration through the darkness, through the winter. And frog is another one, a good one for that because often they will be able to, you know, kind of freeze solid or just survive that deep freeze and then come out in the spring just fully alive and ready to proliferate. Okay. I will be posting this up for sale and I kind of feel like there may be one person that it will be speaking to and so I'll be putting up it as a print and as the original. So look for that, that link is below. So have a wonderful, wonderful week. If you haven't yet, please do subscribe and I totally invite you to join me on Patreon. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to have weekly readings for the butterfly level and up and if you want to join the wolf pack, then we will be getting together weekly on Zoom. So have a lovely week.


What's up everybody at JZ over jazby's case breaks calm just filled up 2020 Bowman baseball four box Jumbo plus six box hobby pick a team number four total ten box breaks Here and again, we're giving away the Yankees in this break a $1,200 value team given away in this break All you had to do was buy a spot on this break and you get entered into winning So you buy one team you get two in one entry you buy two teams you get two entries etc The more teams you buy in this break the more entries you will have To try to win the Yankees and hit it Dominguez and again four boxes of Bowman baseball Jumbo six boxes of hobby Ten total box remember no paper base ships all chrome cards number cards insert short prints and hits will ship Dominguez and whip paper will ship and I believe we added Open ace prospect Pauson as well and then again no exceptions Remember all the paper base is sold by us and then we donate 100% of the sale to the charity of either make a wish LA's best or no kid hungry So again, here's the customer names here that are in the break So there you go. Now. Let's put them in a randomizer here. Boom Let's roll the dice. Boom Five and a five ten times number one is gonna win the Yankees guys. Good luck Ten times one two three four five six seven eight nine and Tenth and final time ten times. Oh, man. Did I see what I thought I saw? No freaking way. Oh, man. Oh Man No, I didn't I thought I did there you go Charles J. Samuelson. Congratulations. You just won the Yankees in the break. I thought I saw Adam or Fred won those And I wasn't say wow $90 spot right there. But anyway, there you go Charles. You're gonna get number one You're gonna get the Yankees congratulations after ten times. Yeah, I thought I saw the little thing But I guess not either way though. I mean the other customers won those spots Pain and fraction of the price although Fred and Adam did buy a couple spots, but either way It's all good. Let's hit some big hits though now Here are the boxes. So here are the six boxes Right here and then the four jumbo and just to show you guys Nick wrote Pyt4 on the top of the six boxes and left them here in the studio and then same thing with the jumbo he wrote Pyt4 so that's how you guys know it's from the same case. And again, here's the printout of the break Boom boom Let's rock and roll guys. Don't know if it the Ming is was pulling the first half or not, but Let's see what we can pull here. Good luck guys I'll start off with the first Start up with hobby in first hobby out of the way a couple boxes Kind of pack stack myself Maybe we can just fly through some of this and again guys another break that's super close to select starting It's close to the almost a single digits. And if you guys wanted to skip Five and six of jumbo or seven and six and seven of jumbo that's tied into a little pack break Number eight can sell it straight up if someone wants to take the Rangers and the Forget who the other team was tigers. I believe So if somebody wants to take one of those teams, you can get number eight of jumbo going So just two left there Tigers 150 and Then Rangers at 329 330 so That'd be cool if I can also squeeze that in before I head off Because this will pretty much take me to like one one forty one thirty if anything, so That is the case. I can squeeze in the jumbo like one thirty And then I'll kill it within like fifty minutes then Joe hop on around to two thirty or so and then I'll see you guys again tomorrow Starting at two o'clock, so it's up to you guys though. I'm glad we got this one done though I think this one was a great value that I think everybody that was watching early on kind of seen that Opportunity you got a team in the break into potentially one of the Yankees. Whoa Is that what I think it is? Oh scary. Let's go with this first. I don't think it was but It might be like an insert one though that I seen a little bit of gold this part threw me off right here, Sean.  I forget that in hobby though. The cards are flipped backwards, so I Won't know if it's a super until I flip it around unless it's a base card with no auto then I Will be able to see it The weeks Garcia paper Tigers No, the color is actually normal if it's on not auto It's it's it's just on the front. So that's how I was able to pull that like red Losardo because it was just the base Chrome red. So just the autographs are turned around so I won't know if it's a super auto and so I turn it around So I say like this Feliciano the color would be obviously turned around 299 sparkle Brewers, it's gonna ride Harold a go man Thomas like these one mom number of topics are per box Auto is missing on the card like the guy didn't even sign it Quality control right there, right? That's so horrible. Imagine getting that box and you don't even get anything. I mean, I'm sure Top will definitely fix that for that guy Gotta do a little more than just fixing it right?  Oh nice gold shimmer to 50 moments first is this the stud pitcher or is this the other guy. Oh, I was you're it was 226 144 strikeouts in 22 games 10 wins for losses and 111 innings pitched. I mean, this is a good pitcher prospect for the Padres make me a paper the Bowman mixture number four with the mixer for four. Yeah What are the sweet do that would have been so it was just two teams So you could win the teams for 18 bucks, right? And then you could all have an opportunity to win the Yankees for $18 Why they weren't flying off I know that's what I said. I said that and I think people started realizing. Yeah, I was like It's only $19 something down if I could buy into this. I would We'll take those teams nobody wants All righty guys Tate's junior to 499 and I think make right in the last break you did he pulled Dominguez base for gomes Yeah, I mean there's $2,000 Crazy, just the base the base is the base. Oh, he's all of you. Oh, I'm sorry Yeah, base autographs, are you serious last break of the night? Yeah, like one of the last one I think he broke select after all but I like 630. Jesus. I was I was up till like four. I helped me make ice cream Couldn't do it after that Yeah, I try to go to sleep. I couldn't really sleep much, but I didn't want to go get three To keep words here. Yeah, I don't know what that where that one's from It has the little chip on it. So, I don't know if Nick switched them or I had to clean up a little bit here killer off the 25 And another can teal It's time to 499 who has a pod just jeffrey gold nice gold shimmer and now Um, I think so john. I think once we clear out the website I think we are So I honestly think I think we got more cases in Than we thought we were you know, obviously since top said that they weren't going to ship out More than half, but we're still going to get a lot more next week like wednesday thursdays i think nick said But I think we will be posting more jumbos and stuff today I just think nick obviously is a little resting right now. So Once we uh, once he gets up a little bit. I'm sure he'll start posting him from home But he's the one that knows how many we have left over and I think we're still kind of good for today But we will be posting more soon though. I think so I remember guys i'm back again tomorrow At two o'clock. So We'll have we'll have some more bowman for the rest of the next two days All right next hobby box guys The mingas paper right there Hunter green and a bobby wit jr Nice blue Very very nice 27 out of 150 Who has a can city Royals?  These are like the hobby one per box, but pretty cool Athletics going to erin Pretty nice the last hobby box and then we got the four jumbo sam huff blue shimmer. That's a big prospect as well for the rangers Adam winning this in a pack break hopefully more to come buddy paper of Reese hens To 250 atomic KC mice to 150 number 11 on bowman's prospects It's a base first for the mets g-nord A genord Mets with that one going to rob Saveo paper ricky hours. We've got the jumbo guys. Good luck. I'll do two jumbos at a time Yeah, guys, actually I'll probably be done with this anything else, but I think joe could do that on the next jumbo Just the rangers it looks like a gold out of the 50 was accepted at 10k Was it like the shimmer? Yeah, I think they took the off of where the marker was set I mean, I don't know I projected Me and Nick projected that the Out of orange would probably go for 15 or 20. So I mean obviously with the crazy prices We have been seeing with bowman's first like, you know the first one where the green that sold for like 14 I kind of think that it's actually probably setting into what the market. Yeah, so If it sold for 10, which is gold Then I guess the predict the projection of the orange going to 15 or 20 is kind of in the right range I mean look if our customer that hits that on ig can get 40 000 for it great But I feel like That kind of makes sense The base is going for two Then the next color up would be like what out of 250 So let's say that that's like four or five Then the 150 is the blue right or blue or purple vice versa Then you get to like atomic out of 100 Green to 99 I feel like That kind of makes sense And again, it's not a way to bad way to start off though, right? I mean 17 years old But I think the person that got that for 10 grand is probably a good good investment if he does turn out to be What is this? Uh, this is uh, pick issue number four of the bowman mixer, brian Remember hobbies three and four are tied into a pack break and same thing with hop a jumbo 67 The only break that can fill straight up that's closed is Jumbo number eight that just needs to fill up straight up and it's just the rangers So I think if we can just get that rangers off the board at 330 we can break that as well Right after this We believe that the orange is going to go for 15 to 20 The razz will probably go for like 25 30 And the superfractive will probably go for like 50 50 to 60. So kind of like wander frank Ah Zach, I know man. You're probably not a baseball guy. I know It's again, this is only one weekend out of the year Zach That you'll have to deal with all this baseball It just happens it's bowman Same thing when prism basketball came out, which is all prism Basketball that we did Yeah, that's tied into a little pack break brian But I think we're selling some teams So hobby three and four are sold out, but we still have a couple teams tied into that one pack break Which I believe is um Down to 21 In that pack break All right. Good luck. That's two jumbos right here paper of muñoz And we got a speckle sparkle to $2.99 First for the car knows sejas But yeah, I think we can definitely get those flawless breaks done though because All we needed to fill up is those two filler and chronicles. I believe Number 15 sold out, right? No, it's down to six. So six and 19 left. I'm sure we can get that done today I don't see why not davis ren and davis For the cubs been a red This guy's a good prospect too, right? nick alan Trino For the twin Oh, nice red. Yeah, I remember we talked about it that you were looking for some davis Glad I won at least with me. Uh, we should be doing them Michael. I mean, I know I have I think we were always doing them unless they're in a separate video They said uh cannon smith To 75 for the yankees There you go, charles Okay It'll be in the non-sport. So whatever it's on there. He said maybe to check page three or four. He had to click To click like view more or something Paulini Josh Jung What do you say? Yeah, well, I mean he should do that first maybe It's under non. It says it's under other and miscellaneous But it's probably behind all the pokemon so you can't really see them the first page But if he searches soccer, it'll pop up Well, soccer could be in the section where hockey is because there's really nothing And it's a joe uh Josiah gray If I let a 50 bowman scouts top 100 autographs for the Dodgers Uh Dodger is going to chat, right? But if it was like what can I say on air here with that acronym Help me out Sean All right So I can have That could be very obvious. Yeah, that that that could work red That could work but Again, I don't know. I don't know if it's the right thing to put I want to slap him when he doesn't but it just doesn't look right This makes me think that It's just someone just trying to start something Incarnacion and we don't got time for that, you know Frankie said can't buy into breaks just bought a tops gold stuff curry rookie raw Well, there you go. Hey, that's an investment for you, right? It's all good Chris paddock No, the 24 hours ended earlier today like at 6 37 in the morning We took a five hour break and I got here at 11. So yeah We're probably doing 11 to like midnight. Maybe I think Nick might just do a couple hours, but not much Maybe his normal nick at night And then I'll back tomorrow at 2 o'clock And again if needed to be I can stay till 12 tomorrow. I think everybody was dead this morning All right guys last two jumbo boxes All right. Good luck guys And we got that stud Padres pitcher a couple otters here for the Padres and then we got a body with blue Hopefully looking for more Maybe Dominguez and again guys, there's uh Other breaks that are really close How we can get done today? Jumbo number eight Is just one spot away if someone wants to take the Rangers don't no filler needed no pack break That can break Right away. No, I know it is but I don't know what nick pulled last night or this or this morning from the first half So I don't know if there was a Dominguez. Did the Dominguez come from this? Maybe it did actually. Maybe that's where Matthew got it You know what that makes sense. Maybe Matthew got to Dominguez from the first half I pulled a I pulled a lit auto Yeah, no, but from number three, I'm thinking that that's where I think that's where Matthew Gomes got the Dominguez. So I don't think he bought the Yankees Yes, okay, that's where it was that we did pull Dominguez But that doesn't mean that can't pull another one because it's two separate cases right Half of the case was hobby half of the case was jumbo So I have no idea What are you really? Yeah, you know what I've been noticing red There is a pattern all the time And I thought I would see him around in car now so you don't but now you've heard davis space run You're a smart man red You're smart It's like It's like devil and xion So it's very likely the other half of this jumbo. Well, this is the only other half. So If the Dominguez wasn't pulled in the first half jumbo, then it could be here Oh, you mean this half that's right. That's right. You're right. You're right Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah, I know there was one pull. I don't know if it came from the hobby though It might have came from the hobby, you know Because I feel like once you hit a Dominguez it's such a hot case Let's say that Dominguez did come from the hobby that means the bobby wick came in the hobby as well I thought I seen someone hit three Dominguez autographs in one case One blue and like two base. I thought I seen online So I just feel like when there's a Dominguez, it's just a hard case anyway Let's see if we can get maybe some more Davis for you red I want some clam chowder. Yeah, I need that clam chowder from disney So good.  Why would they serve it to you in a bowl in a bread bowl? Oh, wow, really red The only case I've seen with Dominguez base and no one pronounce him was hobby. So The only fourth ish space auto every other one I've logged has both Well, let's see if that Let's see I know it's so good Frankie, but I feel like people judge you You know, like I feel like when you're eating it and you're ripping up the bowl once you're done with the chowder in it Especially I do now. They're just like, what are you doing? That's just supposed to be a bowl I'm like, what you're just red bull.  Yeah Uh, no Greg. It's actually part of a filler break a pack break So five and six or a lot or six and seven sorry are locked away in a pack break So once though that pack break fills in and it locks both jumbo jumbo and uh Six seven the only one we could fill right away is number eight. That one doesn't have anything locked into it And we have one left. I think just the Texas Rangers are the last team to be taken there and we can break that Break that straight up Quinn cotton. I heard this guy's a good prospect as well reds. Fred Williams with that one. There you go got that in a little pack filler break Dominguez Adam Hall atomic for the Orioles Chad with that one Dilla cruise paper and a step on floriel gold chrome To 50 for the Yankees Yeah, someone kept on mentioning that That queen cotton sold for 16,000, but I don't I don't know why that would sell for that. I feel like no one really actually bought that, right? But I feel like it kind of pushed up his market a little bit and I don't think it's a real sell either So the queen got into the good prospect He was saying that yesterday and based on his first pitching over a thousand that auction now It was immediately listed. Oh, gotcha. See as in one thing like some people don't really look at the whole the whole like They don't really do that investigating for it Because there's some times that it does sell but then all of a sudden it's relisted, right? Or You know, or you say merely got resistant. Oh, I'm trying to say we're listed, right? It's mrs. Cotton. Yeah Mama cotton mama cotton It's like that's just busy.  Okay, then that that doesn't help them people.  So that means the original 50 out of gold, you know, the right the plain color gold Uh I'm sure that'll go for more than than 10,000 then I don't know me and mick projected that orange that we hid in a personal box to be like 15 to 20 So, I mean if maybe more if the gold goes for like the original gold goes for like 15 Then you can probably see the rat the orange one for like 20 maybe 25 But hey, we're gonna get 40,000 for it man. It's great. Oh, yeah for sure. I mean, I'm not sure if Quinn cotton's gonna sell for what that online so is but I'm sure for 100 bucks I'm sure you'll make some money back off of that and then again. Yeah, the customer wanted an affiliate bridge. So even better All right guys last jumbo bucks. Good luck. Yeah, so I'm saying the from the shimmers. It's probably always like Way better, right? That's what I would think Feliciano, I mean, I love the shimmers don't get me wrong But I feel like people when they're creating rainbows and want like they just want the original solid colors You know, they love the solid purple like this the blue the gold the orange When you start getting into shimmers and stuff, I feel like people don't like that which is weird I'll take a shimmer though. It's just another pattern Frankie. It's kind of just like how In prison basketball people love the People love the Plain colors of that mean the discos don't sell for as much as other products or other silvers and stuff like that So they just like that. That's all it is. Ain't nothing wrong with it though. You're still going to get some good money for it But it's like it's kind of like nt rpa's, right? How's it that people only want to out of 99s? But you don't want to you don't want to out of 10 where they only made 10 of those You know, you don't want to out of 25 It's like people just consider them being the true True rpa's, you know So people just like the true colors Excuse me. It's like you can get rpa out of 25 for the same price out of 99. It's like what? Yeah, exactly just a preference I feel like the atomics though are such one of the coolest ones out of 100 I don't know how the atomic cell in the secondary market, but I feel like Atomic is one that I would actually Like to get because I love the atomic cracked ice feel. It's like my favorite school wall Yeah, no, I feel you read. I know what you mean. But look at the end of the day They create more colors because guess what it means more money Amaya Right You add more colors Shimmers X amount this amount.

the man of the match, Kyle Gordon. Andrew Europo make the presentation on behalf of KFC. Yeah, let me have a chat with you now, Kyle. Fantastic game, Kyle. Last season when we spoke at the Ben Francis Cup final, you told me that you wanted it all this season. Job is half done. The job is half done for you. Yes, right now it's just to keep focused because we have our next final and don't want to get carried away even though it's a good feeling, but it's always a wonderful feeling to win. Yeah, we have our speculation, but I want to know from your perspective exactly where did this game turn in favor for Glen Muir? When we equalize. Yeah, and I want to ask you as well now, how was your regime thrust and recuperate for the upcoming, the Costa Cup final going to be like? Well, as I said, just keep focused. You don't get carried away and be stronger in the next game.  Richard is...


Yo, we just had to open up with that. That's crazy, because you know what? A bomb just dropped this weekend on Saturday. Hot boys, sans-nel, but we in the building. The news is out. OK, David, Simu Liu, a friend of ours, and a fellow kind of semi-YouTuber, has just been casted as Shang-Chi, who is going to be Marvel's premier leading Asian superhero in years to come. Shang-Chi, CHI. CHI, that's how they spell it. In other words, I guess in Chinese opinion, we would spell it QI, right? Shang-Chi. In this video, we're going to be discussing if Shang-Chi is going to change the game for Asians. I'm going to set it off. It's important that it's Simu Liu and not really anybody else. He's a great pick. And it's important that he's picked as Shang-Chi because he's Chinese-born, Canadian-raised. He's kind of like one of us. If you guys look at Simu's story, he was an accountant. And he just wasn't happy with his kind of yappy, I guess, like professional job pursues acting. Takes it very seriously. But then, obviously, he gets cast as the first Asian-American superhero in world history. Yeah. Listen, he's kind of a YouTuber. OK, he's made videos on YouTube before, although I wouldn't say he ever based his career off YouTube. And he's someone from the Asian community. We know that. He's just through a charity event that we all participated in in Toronto.  He's one of us. He basically talks a lot about Asian-American male masculinity. And I'll tell you this, Simu's the first guy. I got to give him props to go on national TV in Canada and say, what is up with how no non-Asian girls find Asian-American men attractive at all? See, but the fact that there's even laughter now, some of these stereotypes are absolutely and totally untrue.  And first of all, first of all, having none of the girls want to date you and hearing more than anything that people are just not into Asian guys. Like, really real. It's really something that's even uncomfortable for Asian guys to talk about amongst themselves. Like, I don't know a single Asian guy who really disagrees that Asian men are underrated in social society in the West. But I know a lot of people don't want to talk about it or are kind of like, you know, they're against talking about it because it seems weak or something like that. But for Simu, a guy who definitely, I'm sure, obviously looking at him, you probably would imagine he doesn't have a problem with women for him to stand up and be like, no, definitely. I might not have this problem. Or he does, but on a different scale. Yeah, he does on a different scale. Definitely. David, there's going to be comparisons of Shang-Chi to Black Panther, and there's going to be comparisons of Simu Leo to Chadwick Boseman. What do you think about that? Because, and the only reason why I'm throwing it out there, now, I don't know if it's going to have the same impact as Black Panther. OK, I'm not saying that, by the way. But I'm just saying there is some parallels here. There's some parallels here. Here's why there's parallels. Marvel is making this movie in 2019, 2020. 2021. They do not. Let me just say this. Shang-Chi originally, from what my research is, because obviously it's not a super famous comic book, strip series, was based in stereotypes. Like he's genetically created through Fu Manchu, like finding a genetically beautiful, strong white woman. I don't know. It's really weird if you read it on Wiki. But they bought the series from somebody else, and then they try to rid it of the problematic elements. But then it's not the most popular Marvel comic, OK? They have an opportunity to make a pro-Asian film. That's palpable for everybody. It's palpable and accessible to everybody, in the same way Black Panther, if you look at it, they got Brian Kugler. Brian Kugler did it through Veil Station. Chadwick Boseman graduated from an HBCU. He's very, very, very pro-Black. And very much part of the community, and you would say part activist. And Black Panther was, first of all, I love that movie. It was even, you would almost say it was even more just like a Black American event, pop cultural event, more than it was a comic book movie. And you know, the funny thing is, some of the comic book people, the really purest, purest, ultra-purest comic book people, they didn't like it. But I actually liked that element of Black Panther. Well, because it reached an audience that was not Marvel fans. Yeah, and because there was a whole, if you guys know the story of Black Panther, or at least the movie, there was a whole Martin Luther King philosophy versus Malcolm X philosophy. Killmonger was Malcolm X. Black Panther was Martin Luther King.  Killmonger was more militant, which was Malcolm X's philosophy about how to deal with being a minority in the society with Boseman. Let's stress the point that both Chadwick Boseman and Simu are guys of the community that they come from. Heavily respected within the community. Simu is not a gun for hire. He's not a random theater actor. He's not some guy who just popped up. He's not a model that just got thrusted into this role. He is a dude that we all know. Well, he's been talking about North American Asian issues for at least a couple of years publicly now. You know, so, and I'm saying he was on an Asian theme. I'm not equating the struggles. I think the struggles are different from each community. But I'm just saying that obviously Marvel's, probably, if you made me bet, I don't know what's going on in their boardroom or anything, they're looking at the parallels between Simu and Chadwick Boseman. Yes. Between Black Panther and Shang-Chi now, they made a point to choose people from the community that were validated by the community that had done community work in some way before. Right. Because they know that, listen, Marvel franchises, whether whatever it is, Iron Man, they can last for so many years in so many movies. Well, you're part of the ecosystem. You're part of the ecosystem.  Simu's good-looking, but he's not even the best-looking Asian dude. I've seen guys at the club in LA in New York that are technically part better than Simu. There may have been greater looking people, but not greater people. Oh, Simu is from the community and as a YouTuber and someone who just played basketball against Simu in this charity game, I gotta say, I feel like I'm part of that. You know what I mean? And here's the weird thing about being Asian-American. Outside of very, very few handful of people in Hollywood, Asian YouTubers are the community. Yeah. We only represent that we only, you know, that every facet of the community is represented amongst YouTubers, but sort of. Well, because all oftentimes our fans are of the community as well.  Those are like three different tiers of entertainment. And then you have the hip-hop industry and then you have sports. Obviously, for Asians, we only have them. Essentially 1.5 of those five tiers.  So I don't know what the news was like when they picked Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, but I can tell you that there is a huge buzz amongst Asians. And one of the reasons why is that we talk about is because we have less representation. I mean, obviously, you know, black people are always fighting for their own representation in other ways, but they do have a lot of athletes, a lot of musicians, still a lot of actors. The coolest actors in the world.  Our president was black. So I'm saying there is quite a bit of representation on there, but our representation, especially for an Asian male, like is so few, so little that I think Simu getting it in a way caused a bigger ripple in our community in a trending topic. Well, because a lot of us knew Simu. We're friends with Simu. Yeah, and a lot of, and we had seen him around in YouTube videos or whatever in the community, and then he gets it, then it's kind of like, whoa, they picked one of us. Also looking at his story for him to pursue acting after being an accountant. How relatable is that? How Asian is that?  Like you just, your life is very like, sort of set in a certain way. Honestly, I never thought that anybody from our ecosystem, well, Aquafina is going to have a role in it as well, but like, I never guessed that anybody from, that we made videos with or new people that they made videos with, it never occurred to me that it could be possible to maybe reach that echelon of getting in the Marvel universe. Anyways, number two guys, this is a, we'll go through this point quick, but number two, it's just a win for likable, jock Asian guys. Cause I think, and I'll make this point is that I think a lot of the time in media, there's not a lot of millennial, sporty Asian guy representation because Simu is going to be likable in this movie. He has to be likable. Marvel's going to make him likable. And he is actually likable in real life. It'll be like if Jackie Chan spoke English or something like that. I can't really think of a time that a full Asian guy, I mean, dude, Asian guys were so starved. We were trying to claim Keanu Reeves. Yeah. All right.  Another comparison to something that was very important to us was, you know, Jeremy Lin making it to the NBA first. And then obviously he struggled, but then he blew up with an insanity. I'm not saying this is a insanity moment. This isn't that yet because the movie's not out and hasn't done well. For a jocular Asian guys, it feels almost like something like an insanity. It's the other moment. It's like seeing, this is like when we heard that Jeremy was got a spot on a team. That's when we were like, oh, he's in the league. He's there. Now, if the movie does well and I'm sure it's going to do fine, that's gonna, I think that's the insanity right there. And this is, these are the moments. I think for me, another point was like Jabba Wacky's when Jabba Wacky's won, but the thing was they wore masks. I mean, I think there's different moments here and there of Far East movement having in two number one singles. I would say, I would put this almost no offense to the dancers, but maybe that's like the whole Asian thing with ABDC. Like that was cool. That was a moment where we all followed it. Just like we're all gonna follow this moment. Point number three, a bunch of people will have to say the phrase, Seemu Liu is Shang-Chi. And a lot of people are gonna get the pronunciation wrong and it's gonna be funny. Well, it's gonna be funny to see people. I could see some of the entertainment reporters being like, huh, what's going on here? Am I just like speaking Chinese?  Well, you already heard it at the presser. People would- Dude, the lady already messed up Shang-Chi.  No, no. Shang-Chi.  Oh my God. Oh God, don't say that. Imagine people trying to do the Mulan presser. First of all, they already sweating bullets looking at their sheet of who is who. They're like, oh my God, can I color-coat these people? Like, they're like nervously looking up and down, up and down. They're like, I just got Aquafina right, okay? And I'm still working on the others. You know, he walked out to the Comic-Con stage to be Commander-in. Obviously it was flowing because he's a native. He moved, he was born in China, raised there until five. He said, what's that? Harbin Chu Shang-La. Yeah. He, I felt like he didn't really have the Northern accent much. Did he say, did he try to keep it more standard? But he did, and he's good at Chinese. He's good. I mean, he's born there. So, I mean, I think it's interesting to see that the three crops, the guys that you would have gone out for this role, actually all born in China, Chris Wu from Guangzhou, Ludie Lin from Fuzhou, and Simu from Harbin, which is Dongbei. Yeah, Harbin is way up there by the way. It's way, way up there by almost like North Korea. And I think that's different because obviously previously it is true like almost all the actors were from either Taiwan or Hong Kong. Shanghai or Roots in Taiwan and Hong Kong. And I think that it's cool because we spent some time in Beijing, which is very much a Northern city as well.  And I'm not surprised Simu's from there, from that area. They're a little bit more hearty, a little bit more conventionally proud, a little bit more just rough and tumble bro-ish. Militaristic. I mean, that's the easiest way to put it. If you guys know Chinese stereotypes, basically dudes in the South would be almost like hipsters or like... Better business man. You know what I mean? Hipsters slash like merchants. And people in the North are like army people, you know? I would say in Southerners, hipsters, merchants, artists. And then Northern guys, they're the ones eating mad thick cut noodles in the cold. Army, politicians. Yeah. Lot of hot pot up there. All right guys, number four. Is that Shang-Chi has actually written to be half white and half Chinese, but Simu is full Chinese. So you're saying a full guy actually took a hopper role. Exactly. This is funny because usually it's the other way around. Usually they have, and in many Bruce Lee characters are played by half white people, even though Bruce Lee is a fourth. Also Henry Golding, who was half and shout out to Henry, he's a really nice, great guy. He played Nick Young who is supposed to be full. But so now it's a full guy taken half role. So what does it mean? I think it just means that people, I don't know, I mean, I think they figured that's what he was the best fit and that's what people want to see. And especially if you're thinking about the Chinese market, I think it helps to have a full guy. And especially a guy from Harbin. I think it just makes more sense. I mean, why? First of all, I don't think you're gonna find that many hoppers that can do all those flips like in no kung fu like that. You know what I mean? There's a lot of physicality required for this role. So from what I know, Simu is really acrobatic, he's really athletic. I've seen him do back flips. I'm sure he will get the martial arts movements down quite authentically. I think full Asian guys, we felt people were just gonna give all the full Asian roles to the hoppers. And for us to take one back, it's like huge because it's just like, I think there was just a general accepted thing in Western civilization that being half Asian male was the max and any more than 50% was like minus points. Yeah. Like the more genetically full Asian we were, the wackier it was. It felt like, and there's no problem, obviously I have no bone to pick with like the mixed kids, but it just felt like that they were gonna get all the opportunities. They felt, I felt like they were gonna get all the looks and that they were gonna- Because they were more acceptable than multiple demographics. No, because they had more appeal. I'm not saying that's still not partially true. I mean, I think hoppers still have a lot of appeal.  Right, but I just saying like we took a big role and I like it. Is it funny, funny fact that a lot of the actors nowadays, a lot of the actors that we named that are pretty big, especially from Asia are actually from Canada or Australia. Simu, Chris Wu, Ludy Lin, God Vigau, Edison Chen, Niktai, Eddie Pang, all from Canada, originally, whether or not they're in Canada now. And then Ronnie Chang, our friend, is from Australia. Ronnie's kind of getting on too. I think a lot of dudes- And even Henry Golding is from Malaysia and Britain. I think that- So what does it mean that David, I'm not saying I don't want to dive too deep into this, but it seems like a lot of the Asian dude and particularly Chinese guy actors are coming from Canada. Long story short, I think that there's just more of an identity. You know, a lot of Asian-American guys I know don't even feel comfortable being filmed on camera. That's how marginalized I think subconsciously they feel. And I don't think in Australia and Canada, they feel that way about their imagery. Like, I think they get a lot more FOB media over there.  I just think there are more recent populations, like in terms of immigration wave and their self-identity when they look in the mirror is completely different. And especially when you migrate from Asia to one of those countries at a young age, you're just able to develop completely different than somebody who was born and raised in the US. I think we're just raised to play ourselves small, to be honest. And you know, I'm not blaming anybody. This is just the way it worked out in the US, but for sure, let's just say this, you move from five or 10 from Asia to Canada or Australia, your sense of self-identity is completely different than Asian Americans. Fair.  Yeah, I mean, there's other ways to get rich in America. You could just do real estate, borough priorities, guys. Next reason, as a YouTuber, as somebody who knows Simu personally, I think him getting the role was very inspiring. It kinda injected this new energy into the scene, into everybody's minds. I'm sure we're not the only ones thinking about it. It reinvigorated us. For sure. I mean, I think just like Rich Chigga's number one single or number one iTunes album reinvigorated, I know a lot of Asian rappers that I know are like trying a lot harder than they were three years ago. I know a lot of Asian female comics that are taking it a lot more serious once Ali Wong and Aquafina are doing it, you know? It's natural for a group, especially in a front-facing camera profession, as much as you say it shouldn't matter, you don't want it to matter, inevitably your cap that you put on yourself, like the most of us are gonna base it off what we've seen somebody who looks like us achieve. And you know what's funny is that- Whether that's right or wrong, maybe you shouldn't think that way. Dude, for a long time, people were always wondering, oh, why don't Asians pursue this career? Or like, why don't you guys do it? Why don't you guys feel confident that you can do it in entertainment? And it's like, well, for example, let's just say if you're a Caucasian guy, you pretty much have an infinite number of examples to go off of and an infinite number of comedians and actors and athletes to inspire you to do it. But for us, we have so few, you have to understand it was kind of scary to follow that model that was not proven for us. You couldn't even dream it. It was hard to imagine because it just hadn't really happened yet. It just means something to see somebody who you relate to. Because you feel like, even though we shouldn't feel this way, it just is this way because at the end of the day, you still feel like your cards in life are similar to people that you look like. People need a relatable face to connect with. To this day! So here's my next point about this. I definitely think Marvel is gonna have to be careful and kind of sensitive with this one because there's some kind of weird and outdated and slightly offensive themes in the original Shang-Chi that I think they're gonna tweak a little bit. Oh, absolutely. I'm sure. So it's just the Fu Manchu thing who's honestly an offensive character in Asian-American culture. Well, he's supposed to be his dad, right? Yeah, he's Shang-Chi's dad. And Fu Manchu is just like this character we laugh at. Yeah, yeah. And I'm sure that that was based off a certain era in Western history where, and I'm not gonna lie, some people still kind of perceive Asians to be like that, to be honest. But like, not the people on Marvel. I'm sure there's a lot of diversity in their ranks. They're thinking very hard about this. Yeah, and I'm sure they don't wanna get it wrong because obviously, and it's not just economically, I'm sure they're thinking about what the moral thing to do is. But on top of moral considerations, there are economic considerations, AKA China, which... AKA the money. AKA what will become the biggest consumer market on planet Earth. I need the dollars, dollars, dollars. So I think that obviously it's gonna be a positive portrayal of Asian men and Asian culture. Do I think it's gonna change the world for Asian-Americans? No, obviously not. But yes and no. But what can? Yes and no, nothing. You guys, entertainment is fake, guys. But guess what? Entertainment is driven by real forces. The content of entertainment is also driven by real forces. I think that, you know, it's just cool. It's cool to see. I'm so happy for C-movie. He deserves it. I'm so happy that there is an Asian superhero. I would say this movie is, unless something weird happens, this movie's getting made. And guess what? This movie's getting a bunch of money pumped into it. This is probably the highest budget movie with an Asian-American lead in history. Cause it's probably gonna be at least 120 to $180 million budget, which is a lot of money to put behind an Asian-American or Asian North American, whatever you wanna call them. Kung Fu Panda, Big Hero 6, it doesn't count. Don't count, don't count. My last couple of points is Marvel has a chance to rewrite the backstory and to make it new, but I think that if the writers are smart, they'll do something with Amanda and they'll show respects to obviously Tony Lern, who's an amazing actor from Hong Kong. They really have a chance to put in a lot of a racist backstory, you know, something that it really explains something kind of like a Black Panther, something that cuts deep into kind of the conversation of today, something that's very up-to-date. I think they will. Black Panther was like a societal commentary. Dude, that was huge. So I think that's what I'm hoping that Marvel does. This is my major takeaway. Closing it. This is my hot takes, man. And this is the reason why we let off with the title, saying reasons that Shang-Chi is going to change everything for Asians, which sounds like such an incredible overstatement, because it's just an Asian character played by somebody we know in the Marvel universe. It was a little bit of clickbait. It was a little bit of an overstatement.  And when I say left out of, I could say kept out of, left behind. We shunned it. I don't want to. Maybe we weren't strong enough to play. Whatever you want to say. Basically, we're going to be playing these social high school popularity game of America. Why not? Yeah. Asian men are. And even Asian women, if you really look at it, Mulan doesn't count because that's like takes place in China. I'm assuming some of this Shang-Chi is going to take place. Not all of it's taking place in China. Some of it's going to take place here. Kind of in the game. Yeah, Asian women are kind of in the game. Also, to be honest, I don't know why it is. And you can make 10 podcasts about this. Asian women are almost not. They're viewed as something else. They don't necessarily. They're not viewed as like Asian only. No, Asian guys. And I guess we're like, we're like representing everything on our shoulders. Trying to try to simplify this without falling deep into this rabbit hole is like Asian guys are like Asian, Asian, and then Asian women are like woman Asian, in my opinion. They're like, and I'm not saying this like actually in society. Like what's the reality? I'm just talking about media perception. Media, listen, media-wise, they were getting on before us. That's fine.  And you guys are actually right for saying that. But you have to understand that we exist as like blips in a much larger speckled timeline of data points. So just because you're saying that and you might be right about your life, we're talking about media shifting the entire tide that all the boats are on.  You're in charge of that, of your own, you know, essentially vessel. But I'm talking about a tide that affects the vessels. Almost, and it's outside of the vessels control. We're talking about big picture cultural social movements here. Trust me, guys, depending on how close the water is to the top, one or two drops can make a huge difference. That's the point. That's the tipping point at that point. We're talking about breaking the surface tension. Breaking the surface tension. That's the tipping point.  Yeah, it's just someone has to put the last drop of soju in it. And I definitely think I view this as a potential tipping point. I don't know. You know what I mean? Because it's tough for me to judge. I'm not, you gotta talk to Jeff Yang.  Jeff Yang is the guru. But I think obviously he just got announced that it's him. The movie's not even out yet until 2021. It's gonna take like a year and a half to make, film, market, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But we just know it's a symbol of change. And this is why it's inspiring to us. It's why it's why it should be inspiring to other people. And that's why Jeremy Lin was inspiring because it was just a moment of change. We can do it. You know, honestly, right now, between obviously Simu getting cast, Aquafina's killing it. Our friend, Ronnie Chang, just opened up for Dave Chappelle in New York. And I just feel it's like it's seven years ago. If you guys know seven years ago, there was just this energy in YouTube that was like anything's possible. If we just keep at it, we keep creating, we keep attacking, we keep just like doing our thing, anything's possible. And I think that feeling went away for the past three or four years. I don't know why. It just feels like it just left the game. And if this feels like a breath of fresh air back into it. By the way, I know that not everybody's Chinese. I get it, they're basing it off Chinese characters. Crazy Rich Asians was about Chinese. That's fair. I get it. You have to acknowledge that. I have to acknowledge that. I get it. I do think it affects all Asians because everybody thinks all Asians are Chinese. But I understand internally within the Asian world why there's like, oh, why does it always gotta be this? Why is it always gotta be that way? Listen, that's why me and Andrew do make an effort to be really, you know, pan Asian with it and stuff like that. And inclusive. Inclusive of everybody. Yeah. But I get it. I get it. I think that that's a discussion for another time. Listen, if somebody, not everybody got a fair chance at becoming Shang-Chi. You probably had to be Chinese. And that's a fact. I knew people trying to take 23 and me, trying to point at like 13% on the DNA test. Like, can I go out for it? Some people were saying they're half Chinese. Who knows? But I'm just saying like, that's true. It's a fact. And it's not to explain the situation, but it is true that the Chinese market is so huge that they're going to demand a Chinese person. And just as like, at a point in time for most of K-pop, they wanted Korean people. So I'm like, it just, it makes sense. But I just, it's a whole different discussion. It's not to leave anybody out, but that when it comes to entertainment, there's like, they have to think about so many things. I'll tell you guys this. I think that, especially for Asian guys, the majority of stereotypes they're suffering from are sort of like Chinese stereotypes. If you think about it, useful, but shy, passive-aggressive, robotic nerds that are not good at sports, those are actually Chinese stereotypes. And to be honest, some groups, they're all over Asian stereotypes, but they're particularly Chinese. So think about it. The more Chinese stereotypes we can break, if everybody thinks all Asians are Chinese, it's gonna be good for everybody. Nobody's gonna be like, hey, oh my God, Shang-Chi, I really look up to him. What are you? Oh, you're not from Harbin, like Simu. I don't, it doesn't count. Nobody's gonna think that, okay? I think that, you know, it's funny that this is like another podcast topic, but as Chinese have the biggest number of Asian people they were the- The biggest number of people on earth. The biggest number of people, they were the first ones in America that were Asian-Asian, you know, very super Asian. And it's like, they may have been responsible for a number of the Asian stereotypes. Both good and bad. Also, there's a lot of Chinese people that are gonna come back and break it. So it's kind of like a full circle, I don't know. I guess the people who made it gotta be the people who break it. I'm not saying for sure. I'm not saying others don't. I'm not saying for sure. It's funny because obviously Koreans and also many other Asians that are in the game, they break them on many levels. I don't know. This part's confusing. But anyways, guys- But I'm just saying, we're just talking about population-wise, guys. I mean, I'm being mathematically honest, statistics. Anyways, so guys, thank you so much for watching that video. The reasons why that Shang-Chi, Marvel's new Asian superhero is going to change the game and it's changing the game because Simu Liu was casted as Shang-Chi. And I gotta give a shout out to him. Thank you for inviting us to the night it up tournament. Mark him, Toronto. Hey, it's funny because this podcast, we were supposed to do this with him. We had invited him to do a podcast in Toronto. We're back in LA right now, but- Not about the Shang-Chi thing. Not about the Shang-Chi thing, because we didn't know. But actually at the time that we were playing against Simu, he knew he was pretty much gonna be Shang-Chi. So he kept it a secret. That's why I hit all the shots. Hey, I gave him that one too. I gave him that one too. We'll just air the clips. I gave him that one too. But anyways, shout out to Simu. We're so happy for him. Shout out to Aquafina. Happy for her and all her success. She's in like every single movie now. So like, man, Aquafina, she on a next level.  But trust me, the way Western society works is a bigger deal than you think. It's a big deal. I mean, it's a symbolic of a lot of other things. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching that video in the comments down below. Let us know what you guys think about this topic. Let us know if there's any of the reasons why, any other reasons that we missed on why it's a big deal. Or in the comments, go ahead and tell us why it's not a big deal. Maybe you don't care about media. Maybe you feel like it's not doing anything for your life. That's fair, completely fair. But anyways, leave it, leave a comment. Hot pot boys. Yeah. Hot podcast. We bringing the deep podcast. We still going. All right, everybody. Thank you. And until next time, we're the Funk Bros. And we're out. Peace.


Good morning. Bonjour. So I'm Bessam Tabara. I'm the CEO and founder of UpBound. And I'm also one of the folks that started the CrossBlade project. How many here have heard of CrossBlade? Actually, not bad. Good show of hands. So I thought this is our first platform engineering day, and I was thinking about how to get us started. And I thought maybe a good way to start. Oh, you guys can't see my slides. Hold on. All right, let's go again. So I was thinking about how to get us started today. And I thought, why not start with what I think is, and maybe tell me at the end if you agree, the largest success story in platform engineering. Let's get going. I'm going to take you back to 2002. There was a small startup in Seattle working online book company in Seattle. And they had this really big initiative they wanted to go to. They wanted to transform themselves from being an online book company to a global marketplace for e-commerce. And their CEO, Jeff Azos, you might have heard his name, he recognized one thing. He recognized that there is no way that they could do this, given their current ID system processes and how they're organized. At that time, they had lots of different data centers. They were building all sorts of different systems. Each team was provisioning their own hardware. Every time they wanted to do anything, it required changes across a number of organizations and planning meetings and emails and tickets and craziness that happened. He described it as a jumbled mess of systems. And that if they didn't fix that problem, there's no way they can go through with that transformation. And so what did Jeff do? He wrote an email and sent it to the company that became known as the API mandate. Let's go through the API mandate. All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces. What we would call today APIs. And that teams must communicate with each other through these APIs. And that no other form of communication is allowed. Very critical points that he's telling everyone here. He didn't care what technology stack you were using. At that time, this is a data thing. And you'll see he changed his mind on this later. But the final part was that he wanted everyone to make sure that these APIs were addressing a public audience, third parties, integration partners, et cetera. And if you didn't do any of this stuff, you'll be fired. Literally, this is the exact memo, an excerpt of the exact memo that Jeff wrote. Within two years, Amazon transformed itself. Literally, it went from a jumbled mess to organizing into teams that are building services with well-defined APIs for them. It didn't matter how these services were implemented. There was a ton of Perl scripting at that time, believe it or not. And tickets and things are happening inside each of the teams. But what they exposed was an API externally. So services emerged for compute, for storage, for networking. And then later, message hues and relational databases and caching and merchant systems and third party system, all these services started emerging inside the online book company, all with well-defined APIs around them. And the teams that were starting new initiatives, creating new projects, no longer had to go sit in long scheduling meetings and figuring out which hardware they need to deploy. They called an API to get compute. And they called an API to get storage that they need for their own initiative. And that created an unbelievable amount of flexibility in the organization and a separation of concern. Now teams can specialize. Not everybody had to understand storage. Not everyone had to understand networking. It also helped them with their hiring. They didn't have to hire experts in everything. They could actually get to a point where they have people that had to only work on the things that they actually need to work on.


Here's me downloading the drawing tool and making my sketch, so click I'm just gonna go ahead and open it. You can save the file someplace or if you choose to launch it Then when you later make your jigpeg file, it will This program will put it in the place where you have your default Downloads folder wherever that might be on your computer. All right, so okay And here comes the thing so in order you can read the directions down here But to set The first point of your line you click left click on PC Right click to set the second point and draw your line or control click on a Mac You can draw lines anywhere you want as long as you set the first point and the second point You can also do interesting things like setting the first point and then setting lots of second points make interesting patterns Presumably yours is gonna look a little better than this one. Anyway, when you're all done type D and in my case The the jpeg file is going to be saved to my downloads folder I'll show you what that looks like here it is and There's the jpeg file that I just saved. It's called halfspace.jpeg. You can just paste that into your worksheet when you're all done


During the summer, many people are focusing on spending time outside surrounded by green scenery, but the Green Fair Folk Festival hopes to encourage people to think green all year round. Sarah Winkelman has more. Reduce, reuse, and recycle were the key words at the Green Festival held earlier today. There were nearly 50 vendors lining the parking lot of the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls. In its 11th year, the Green Committee on the Sisters Campus made the festival possible. One of the first things that the Green Committee thought, well let's expand just beyond concern for the campus here, let's see what we can do to bring the message of sustainability to a wider community. Hundreds of people can buy different locally made goods from recycled or natural materials, in addition to learning new ways to remain sustainable all year long. One of the newest programs put on by the St. Clair Library on campus is the seed library. You check out seeds, you plant them, you grow them, and when they produce fruit you save that seed and then bring it back to the library so other people can check it out. In order to check out a seed from the seed library, all you have to do is look on the drawers. Anything from tomatoes to pumpkins can be found. Simply open up the drawer and inside are the seeds. It's free and part of the goal is to maintain biodiversity and to just have people give a garden a try. If you would rather buy your fresh produce, there were plenty of vegetables for sale at the Green Festival. There were also a group there from the Purple Carrot, a soon to be food co-op that will bring Little Falls fresh local produce. But still other vendors recreated some crafts from things like cans, old birthday cards, and even toilet paper rolls.  Whether it's a large-scale project or a small gesture, any progress towards a greener community is valuable. Reporting in Little Falls, Sarah Winkleman, Lakeland News. The committee plans to continue the festival the first Wednesday in August of 2018.

For over two centuries, the Army and Navy have worked side by side from troop transports of the Great Wars, the Higgins' boat landing crafts of Normandy, the Tomahawk cruise missiles used to soften targets during Desert Storm and the Global War on Terror. The United States Navy has always done its best to make it easy for the Army. That stops today. From the Navy Lab in Panama City, Florida. Go Navy! Be Healthy!


Well thank you Dean. I'm really looking forward to getting into the conversation portion of this and the questions from students because I understand a part of this was not to have me talking at you but to really have a bit more of a discussion about some of the issues that are going on and some of the things that would benefit the most from people like all of you pursuing paths in public service. You had asked first of for me to say just a little bit about 9-11 and my own path to public service and although my career in government started before 9-11 for me and for a lot of people I'm not sure those are entirely distinct topics. I sometimes look back on my time as a line prosecutor I used to say baby prosecutor on the front lines in Atlanta in the 90s working with other lawyers state and local police FBI special agents putting away corrupt public officials and dangerous via criminals and just about everything in between and what motivated me then and makes me and made me feel like I had the best job in the whole world was the cases the purity of advancing justice and a fighting for victims and their families. I think for example about a case I had about 25 years ago involving a single mom of a seven-year-old little boy the guy that we were prosecuting had targeted her for a hit to prevent her from testifying and as if that weren't enough his plot included hiding her body and parking her car in long-term parking at the airport so that everybody including her seven-year-old little boy would think that motherhood had just been too much for her and she just abandoned him and I remember the afternoon in that courtroom in Atlanta when we put the guy away for the rest of his life and that woman the mom who couldn't have been more than about a hundred pounds was sort of shuttling back and forth between each of us on the team hugging us and sort of shuddering as she was hugging us and she kept saying the same thing to each one of us over and over again she kept saying thank you thank you for saving my life and in that moment it kind of hit me you know light bulb went on that there's a seven-year-old boy who's gonna grow up with his mom instead of being a permanently scarred orphan for the rest of his life and we the team the agents and I we did that and now that may have been a result that didn't matter to anybody in the world outside of that courtroom but it absolutely changed the life of that mom and that little boy in the most really fundamental way possible and whatever else I do in my career I will never ever forget that moment or any number of other moments like that in these kinds of jobs so then fast-forward 2001 summer of 2001 my family and I moved to DC and over the next several years as the Dean alluded to I served in various leadership roles in the Justice Department including overseeing the Justice Department's criminal division which at the time included national security programs especially counterterrorism and on the morning of September 11th 2001 I was a fairly new appointee still getting the lay of the land when I heard that something was happening up in New York now I'm a born and raised New Yorker so seeing the first images of smoke pouring out of the World Trade Center was not just shocking but personal to say the very least you know my mom for example worked just a couple blocks away and I remember racing across Pennsylvania Avenue from the Justice Department and spending most of the day in a jam-packed command center at FBI headquarters with the Attorney General and then FBI Director Mueller and everybody there was trying to help while at the same time struggling to comprehend the horrific reality of what was unfolding and we didn't initially know who was attacking us or or if more attacks were coming we all just urgently wanted to do something I also remember in the months that followed working to understand how 19 terrorists had been inside the United States plotting a complicated synchronized attack and yet government agencies we hadn't discovered their plans or been able to stop them so in taking this job 16 years later I've sort of vividly remember the urgency that we all felt in that packed FBI Command Center on 9 11 and the urgency that we all felt for months every time there was a plane that was non responsive to air traffic control the urgency that rippled through all of us every time somebody got an envelope with white powder in it and we'd all be thinking oh oh is it is this it is it happening again but more importantly more importantly I remembered how that urgency translated into unity and action into a fierce determination to work tirelessly to prevent something like that from ever happening again and I decided that I wanted to come back in service to help the Bureau continue on that path I was sworn in as FBI director in August of 2017 just before the 16th anniversary of 9 11 and one of the first things I did as director in 2017 was to meet with the 9 11 Memorial and Museum staff up in New York where I'd been asked to give a speech and so we talked and they offered to give me a tour and so I asked my wife and my my grown daughter who had just started a new job in New York to come with me on the tour and if any of you haven't had the opportunity to visit that Memorial Museum I strongly encourage you to find a way to make the trip because it is a deeply moving experience outside there are two sunken fountains in the footprint of where the buildings had once stood inside the exhibit goes down under the fountains where the original building foundations were and all along the tour are artifacts from that day images of the victims and audio recordings from witnesses you can see things like the structural beams where each plane impacted the buildings the emergency vehicles crushed when the building collapsed the seawall that barely held the East River from flooding the subway system you can hear the stories of those who barely escaped those who could not and those who ran into the buildings to save the lives of those who were trapped another aspect the 9-11 Memorial Museum highlights very well I think is all the victims you know it it's easy sometimes to get lost in the scale of what happened that day you can go to the memorial and look out at the empty space where those two gigantic buildings used to be you can stare at the massive list of name after name almost 3,000 people lost their lives that day a number of which by the way has actually since been exceeded by those who lost their lives to 9-11 related cancer from all the work they did responding to that scene and that's a number by the way that just keeps rising so it can be easy to kind of get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the loss and so one of the things I think the music knows importantly especially well is that it has a space carved out with individual tributes to each person lost that day so you can stop and recognize one person somebody like Josh Rosenthal and you can learn a little bit about each person's impact so when I went through this tour as the new FBI director I I did something a little bit different which I was watching my daughter really closely my daughter's about the same age as most of you she's in graduate school herself and she'd been alive in 2001 but she was probably like six so young enough in one sense to remember it but not really to understand and really appreciate what had happened and and it struck me as we were going through the tour watching her experience the museum that day that every time we turned a corner for example when we crossed a damaged staircase that had been an evacuation route where people had dodged you know falling debris you could see that she was having kind of a aha moment I could see her expression change a couple times I could see it a little bit of moisture forming you know in the corner of her eye you know subtle but the sort of tell-tale signs that only a parent can recognize and I could see her for the first time really experiencing the gravity of that day especially for somebody who as I said wasn't totally aware of really what had happened back in 2001 I saw it become so much more real for her and so I took my experience watching her experience back with me to my office at the FBI and I thought about you know we have three generations of FBI employees who were live on 9-11 we've got those who like me remember what they were doing at the FBI on 9-11 we've got those who were so moved by what happened on 9-11 that they joined the FBI and then we've got those like my daughter that age who were only kids on 9-11 those for whom they really only know the terrorist attacks as sort of a historical anecdote now that was in 2017 now today in 2022 we have FBI employees who weren't even born on 9-11 and I say all that because I think there's a really important difference between intellectually understanding something and viscerally experiencing it it's one thing to know about all the ways in which the FBI changed after 9-11 but it's a completely different thing to feel the consequences of our work what's at stake another memory that has stayed with me all these years has to do with an experience I had about two years after 9-11 when I was the assistant attorney general and I took part in a presentation to families of the victims lost in the attacks and as the day rolled on I kind of moved to the back of the room watching the line prosecutors and case agents update the family members sharing what we had learned up to that point about each of the four flights in kind of a detailed minute by minute way and the grief in that room was palpable I mean you could feel the weight of it it was almost overwhelming and I remember for example the father of one young woman who had died on one of the planes and he stood up because we had an opportunity for people to ask questions he stood up to ask a question but he only got about four or five words into his question before suddenly abruptly his knees kind of buckled and he just kind of collapsed to the floor was lying on the floor kind of you know sobbing and that's remember that's two years after the attacks I remember another man who lost his wife on one of the flights and as I recall he was a police officer who was working a night shift and so he had just gotten home at the time of the attacks and had gone to sleep and like so many of the victims his wife who was a flight attendant on one of the flights called from the plane as it was going down to say a tearful goodbye but because he'd gone to sleep he didn't pick up so she left the message but she tried again you know maybe a minute or so later and this time you know he had kind of emerged from his fog and so he answered the phone and so they they got to talk and they had a chance to say their goodbyes as you know gut wrenching and heartbreaking as that must have been and so her husband then spent the next several days staying with other family attending to her funeral making other arrangements and he returned home several days later as he goes into his house to check his new messages and the first message is that call from his wife and he hears her voice and try to imagine what that must have been like the the sort of skip in your heart as you hear your spouse's voice thinking you would never going to hear that again only to immediately give way but to the you know the overpowering pain of loss so that kind of knee-buckling in the case of the one guy literally knee-buckling grief that those two men experience and remember there were thousands of them that sense of having something that's most precious to you taken away ripped away from you like that that that doesn't go away it dissipates with time but it never it never goes away and after you experience not just in here but in here that kind of grief that that heaviness after you feel it in your bones even as a prosecutor or investigator much less as a victim or a victim family member it changes you forever and the 9-11 attacks profoundly changed not only our country but they changed the FBI very specifically today's FBI reflects those changes in every FBI program not just counterterrorism every investigation every community we serve and they continue to impact and share and shape the FBI as we seek to combat new and emerging threats and and adversaries of 20 years later it's vitally important that our agents and analysts not only remember 9-11 as a historical moment but also understand and feel the urgency of that moment one that continues to reverberate in how we carry out our day-to-day jobs because those experiences and that urgency should change you it should give you a deeper understanding of just how much is on the line in this work how much crime and terrorism wound victims and families and what a awesome responsibility we have so as director I started asking myself how can I replicate what I and my peers remember about those days and years following 9-11 and what my daughter experienced walking the halls of the 9-11 Memorial Museum how can I replicate that for our new FBI agents and analysts and so I had the FBI's training division work with the 9-11 Memorial Museum to set up an onsite class that would be a small part of every new agent or analyst training and now every class of new special agent and every new class of intelligence analysts tours the Memorial Museum and takes a class with the staff up there because I believe there is no better way for them to grasp the importance of the work we do both how we approach that work and the stakes of that work than visiting that hallowed ground in lower Manhattan we want new agents and analysts to come away from that visit understanding why we're so focused on integrating intelligence into everything we do why we emphasize partnerships why it's so crucial that we tackle every task with rigor and urgency why we've got to be willing to adapt and innovate to meet constantly emerging new threats so we have now more than 3,000 trainees have now experienced the Memorial and I'm proud to say that thousands more will have that opportunity in the years to come and having our agents and analysts make that visit viscerally reinforces for them why they applied to the FBI in the first place and we hope they come away from that understanding that they didn't pick some ordinary job they've chosen to do something extraordinary and millions literally millions of people that they'll never know are counting on them to do that job well to make sure they do the work right I have one final thought before we turn to our conversation you know talking about public service that gives me a chance to mention another way that the FBI recreated itself after 9-11 something that led to completely new public service opportunities within the Bureau each of the people who lost their lives on 9-11 had their own stories and the 9-11 Memorial Museum as I said does a powerful job of telling them all of the victims family's friends co-workers suddenly had gaping holes in their lives and as agencies were overwhelmed in trying to help the FBI turned to woman and Catherine Terman who was a sociologist with the Justice Department who had worked as a victim witness advocate and Catherine grew and built the FBI's victim services division from a handful of well-intentioned staff into a world-renowned core of more than 300 specially trained professionals we even have two crisis response canines Wally and Geo and other than the fact that they leave a lot of hair all over my suit I can attest that they are both wonderful at what they do and we now have victim specialists in each of our 56 field offices all over the country to help people harmed by crime they provide on-scene assistance they triage needs they refer victims to counseling employment housing immigration medical or legal services they go with FBI special agents for things like interviews or death notifications and they coordinate as liaisons with other government agencies and external partners and the work they do with children is particularly outstanding and regardless of what else is going on in our world these are FBI professionals who are ready to drop everything to help in their communities or to quickly fly elsewhere to set up shop you know their work doesn't always get as much attention as our FBI special agents but for instance just two weeks ago at the same time that our agents were arriving in Colorado Springs to investigate the absolutely tragic and intolerable shooting at Club Q our victim specialists were there to establishing a family assistance center to provide services and assistance for those affected and the families of those killed it is heartbreaking really to see events like that play out over and over again as they have this year but I'm proud of the work that everyone involved in that case in Colorado and all of these kinds of cases has been doing they truly make a positive difference in people's lives so I guess if I had to choose one thing to ask you to take away from today is that public service doesn't have to be aimed at affecting dozens or even millions of people to be meaningful when I think about that mom and her son in Atlanta in the 90s I recognize how all of us involved in investigating and prosecuting that case changed her life and her son's life for the better and again while that trial generated a certain amount of news coverage I'm not sure anybody outside that courtroom really grasped what had happened but it definitely meant something to her and it continues to mean something to me today even thinking about 9-11 as the guy overseeing the case against Zacharias Masawi who was sometimes called the 20th hijacker I remember how important it was to our whole team there to make a point of treating treating each and every one of the 2,977 victims that day as individuals individuals who had been murdered and whose families shouldn't be cheated of the grief and loss they were all feeling just because of the sheer number of people killed on that day so commitment to the pursuit of justice for every American that for as long as it takes and that's the kind of work that the FBI's 38,000 men and women are doing really every day in communities all over this country and overseas all over the world so if helping others interests you I hope you'll consider a career at the FBI but more than that I hope you'll consider public service in whatever avenue you find in whatever capacity your life allows I think I'm proof that a career can navigate both private practice and public service and I will tell you having done both during those times of my life when I've been able to devote myself to public service I've been fortunate blessed really to feel the immense fulfillment that comes from the opportunity to serve others and my own community and I can promise you that you too will find immeasurable value in serving others so thank you and I'm looking forward to our conversation
