Thank you very much. Can everybody see me? Can everybody hear me? Awesome This microphone is kind of sketchy, but we'll deal our presentation is end-to-end voice encryption voice encryption over DSM a different approach We have Wesley Tanner who was a systems engineer for software divine radio company and has a BS in E from RPI. There's me Our behind the house I see me I'm Not really a security engineer, but it says it on the slide anyway, so I am an engineer for a computer company in Cupertino BS in computer science from UCSB and we have Keith who isn't here sadly Also from RPI We love you Keith wherever you are presentation overview We're gonna go over the motivation the need for cellular crypto current market offerings And our approach a different approach to the VSM GSM voice channel modem. We're gonna go over the details, you know the radio interface traditional telephone modems over DSM Some of the design choices and issues we're facing We're gonna go into the cryptographic design and hopefully We'll have some demonstrations that won't fail miserably It'll work. I have faith Motivation where is the end-to-end voice protection over cellular a Lot of people want it, but majority of the products in the market don't provide In the sense that they fail in a lot of different Areas the number one being price We're getting that later We want to make Cryptographic cell phones available for the discerning privacy conscious consumer one sec. It's okay for photographs Thanks. Thanks for us It's a requirement. We have to say That was awesome Here is a image of the GSM network we stole of Wikipedia The only thing we wanted to point out is that the here's the handset and here is the base station Those are the only two things you need to realize GSM cryptography You're probably reasonably familiar. We have the a3 algorithm for authentication the a5 for the actual encryption of the voice channel Or attempts at that and the a8 which is key generation Those have both been a5 has been broken horribly and you have no voice protection on GSM Even if you did it's only over the air and once the data actually reaches the network you're in clear text, so That should be fun As the slide says the model of the story GSM cryptography provides limited if any security Your voice channel to your voice channel Something else is needed a cryptographic layer on top of that or cryptographic data channel More on the need of cellular cryptography cellular phones have completely supplanted PSTN. I don't think that many people in here have landlines. I sure don't and I don't really know anyone that does The cellular companies do not provide meaningful protection for that traffic And the ease of interception of voice data is kind of ridiculously easy as we'll so later Two major classes of intercept the government perpetrated intercept the TLA's authorized and unauthorized That's pretty sure want to say that Non-government perpetrated the more interesting ones by private investigators business partners economic espionage and such the product on the Right is a device you can buy for a couple of thousand dollars Yeah, these devices are relatively expensive, but I in the coming years. It's expected that with a cheap A to D converter and some special software you can do this for a lot less money So it's going to become more of a reality for private intercepts Thank You mr. Tanner Government intercepts are probably most common undetectable sadly untraceable done in the higher levels of government Data for the reported intercepts in 2000 there were 1700 intercepts that covers everything And fifteen hundred of those were portable devices cellular telephones satellite phones etc That's quite a large number Here is a chart of the increase in Cellular while taps actually yes cellular while taps portal devices as you notice Intercepts have doubled since 2000 The trend appears to show that it's increasing you could probably all notice that from the last slide What's interesting though is there is no massive jump after September 11th? We don't go all ten for hat on you But which kind of implies they are obviously doing more wiretaps. So those aren't getting released in those numbers There's also a GSM spec for lawful interception. It's kind of interesting They make it rather easy. It's actually built into the GSM specifications to get output product network data, which is your you know Location type of called parties numbers of course the product, which is the speech user data SMS everything you take for granted to be recently private It's not Here is a diagram of a lawful interception Note the shady-looking law enforcement agent the intercept request and the data coming back to the lea very interesting The moral of the story too is even if the DSM crypto was sufficient as I said earlier the protection from the handset to the tower is Capable of being a little bit even if the voice over the air voice crypto is secure You still have the over-the-wire Cryptography Sorry over-the-wire clear text, which is easily interceptable as noted from the last diagram There's a variety of products out there already that address this problem and We got a chance to see the crypto phone guys present their their products that at Hope last year Apologies is it better? The crypto phone guys presented their product it's slick. I've never used it, but it does address this problem There's the sect error device by General Dynamics, and that's really used more that that's basically available to a military and government contract There's the encore crypto smartphone. There's not a whole lot of information about this product out there It's kind of a well I was unable to find anything about it and there's several other vapor products that have their web presence has gone up and down and They're no longer available. So can't say anything about those there's There's a government a new government There's a new new government standard. That's looking to replace the STU 3 which is what they use typically to provide type 1 voice crypto It's the future narrow-bound digital terminal standard This has a minimum requirement of 200 2400 Hertz for voice East is very standard things like milk for voice encryption or for voice compression and AES for voice encryption and There's more data about this on Wikipedia The problem with the current products They all probably work very well. I've never used them or I've never seen them demonstrated But they use they the circuit switched data channel I was never offered this as part of my consumer package And I think I've heard that you you need to pay roaming charges for in some areas on this So it's not as ubiquitous as the voice channel itself There's longer call setup times associated with it because it's a modem You it has to negotiate the connection and there's a higher latency But it's better than the packet switch services that we use for like on like gprs for a typical internet over a cell phone Also there if you can get circuits rich data. It's usually rather expensive Which is kind of irritating? And it's made to carry data not voice and data is not forgiving with bit error And voice is you can have large numbers of bits at bit errors in your voice stream and Have it have reasonable voice quality so you don't need it to you don't need it to retransmit and for data you do and I mean the biggest problem is that these products are not available to you or me They're very expensive or they're for military or government use only and this a solution should be available to you and me 3g will probably take care of a lot of these problems because it is a high bandwidth data and Data suggests that it will be low latency as well. It hasn't been rolled out everywhere actually is in San Diego, and I believe San Francisco I don't have it, but it may solve the problems, but again, it's not available to everybody today And we're proposing a solution Which is what we've been researching for the last couple months it's developing this Developing a modem that will work over the 2g voice channel and the 3g voice channel and It involves a bunch of technical disciplines, which makes it an interesting problem and That's all I want to say about basically The voice channel on GSM is a subset of voice of a generic voice channel Basically the tricky part about the GSM channel is that it's highly compressed And if we get this product a product to work on the GSM channel, we can use it on anything You could use it over a two-way radio Voice over IP or a normal packet switch telephone networks And the goal is to have an integrated thing that works over all these all these protocols and all these systems So that's the that's the goal and this is the proposed system block diagram that I don't know if it's easy to read But basically you have your input voice stream it goes into some kind of modem and Goes through the GSM channel all through all the networks and comes out the other side undistorted the project goals are basically to maximize the voice quality and Provide strong crypto for privacy and to minimize the distortion so you want to have a good sounding quality audio and Have it very secure. I'm gonna blow through some of these quick cuz it's Highly involved in and takes too much time, but basically the GSM voice channel is a low latency High availability available channel. It has a friendly billing system. You can use your minutes Instead of a more expensive data packages However the voice channel uses strong compression which causes distortion for certain types of signals that you pass through it and Therefore you need to pass through things that look like speech so they're not distorted This is a pretty busy slide But it's basically calculating the data rate over the GSM area interface And this break this is a breakdown of the GSM voice frame by speech parameter It works out to 13 kilobits per second And there's 260 bits per frame and those are sent every 20 milliseconds And all these parameters here are what we're trying to exploit Enable to enable us to create a waveform that will work over in this frame without a significant distortion when it goes through the channel And this just shows that there's a 8 to 1 compression your input to you on a typical GSM handset is a kilohertz sample rate audio at 13 significant bits and that works out to an 8 to 1 compression when you go down to 13 kilobits per second The official name of the 2g GSM voice channel is the top bit. It's a long way of saying that it uses a complicated compression to achieve its goal and The input is PCM on a uniform quantized data This is another busy slide. It basically shows the and this is from the 3GPP website.  It's highly non-linear And this is the speech decoder the synthesizer it takes those inputs parameters and spits out A synthesized speech that's a very clear representation of what you originally put through the channel I'm gonna blow through this one basically the processing involves short-term Short-term algorithms that determine what the short-term content is. There's a long-term prediction that gives you your lag and gain and the coder also determines the pitch of your voice and All this is fed through these this this coder you get a residual error signal out and that's also encoded So all these parameters do a good job of representing speech When the voice packets go over your GSM radio Some bits are protected from transmission errors and some are not The class A bits are it's a there's I think I think it's about 36 bits They're are actually protected those are the most important bits if you flip one of those it's impossible to have intelligible speech If the other bits are flipped it's possible that you can actually understand the audio coming out of the phone There's an RFC about this that goes into more detail And this is a slide we threw in just showing a typical speech pattern It has a pretty distinct shape. I'm sure a lot of you have seen that before this is 8 kilohertz sampling rate And it's about six seconds of audio And this is a zoomed-in version Shows the that there's a certain pitch over the frame and I always wondered why You couldn't use your traditional telephone modems over the GSM channel So I'm gonna talk about why these something this might not work Your typical telephone Modulation schemes are listed listed here in order of bit error. I mean bit rate There's the 300 all the way to the 56 kilobit per second that we're pretty used to these days And they're listed by modulation type as well, so they use different schemes to encode the audio and I'll give a quick description of 56 kilobit per second modem It's a uses basically shaped voltages pulses over your analog pair And these represent Bits that you're sending and those are converted to digital signal when it gets to the telco office These voltages are held on the line for 125 microseconds, which is pretty short amount of time and there's 8 bits per pulse So there's 256 discrete voltages that go over your line and in North America We use only 7 so we have 56 instead of 64 kilobits per second, but in reality The the analog lines are not able to discriminate. It's hard to discriminate between the 256 levels So they typically use less and that's why it negotiates a slower connection And this is a high-level diagram of talking from one analog voice modem V dot 90 modem to another and Basically, you can see the pulse you go through analog comes out digital goes back analog And one of the the 1200 bit per second modems that they use a phase modulation scheme I just threw this one in it's a simulink model of a psk modulator and It turns out that the voice codecs are not it's not important to to preserve phase information for voice traffic It's not you can perceive it's hard to perceive changes in phase and timing on on voice And so that information is not preserved over the channel And this is the what psk kind of looks like on the right is the time domain signal And you can see that there's it's a sinusoidal shape and there's discontinuities where we're adjusting the phase one phase represents a zero one phase represents a one and The spectral content and you can see the bandwidth it takes up So I'm blowing through these fast because I don't think we got the time but I Want to run a demo right quick of Using a frequency modulation over GSM and what frequency modulation really is you're encoding one tone as a zero and another tone as a one and those tones are flipped back and forth and At a certain rate so that you you send your data that way Now we're going to show how the GSM channel distorts That signal making it impossible to decode correctly That would be bad. All right. This is a quick aside. We did our modeling and work in Simulink and MATLAB It's a numeric processing tool that is pretty quick to prototype on it allows you to To rapidly throw something together and throw information at the channel and see how it behaves The the actual voice channel we're using our model came from the 3GPP website They have all the reference code available and so it's in C You can compile it for basically it compiles based on any architecture And so we threw that code in with some glue into Simulink so we could model this All right, so this is running at 100 bits per second Hold on right quick. This is the output special content going through the Voice channel, but let me switch it over to just straight pass through you can see the tones Oh You can see the tones going back and forth between the zero and the one the lower closer to the zero is a zero and Further out in frequency is a one They can see and flip them back and forth and you can basically determine at any given time Which ones which it's easy to discern. What's it when it's a zero one? It's a one if you put this through the voice channel itself You can see that the pulses are they look a little more distorted. It's harder to tell at any given time What the actual tone is going through there? They're these blips and and Blobs and it's harder to pick them out So that's just a visual representation of what kind of distortion you'd expect to see on this channel So I'll go into some technical details about what we're proposing to do Which is to make a modem on a modulation scheme that allow you to pass data Undistorted and cryptographically secured voice data through this channel without having it flip bits There was a group in England. We discovered that is doing the very same thing. They've managed to get a 1200 bit per second link over GSM Using a similar scheme Basically what they do They take their input encrypted voice which is encoded at 1200 bits per second, which kind of sounds like a speak and spell it goes through the Basically a codebook lookup system where it has a list of waveforms that will actually pass through the channel correctly And it will synthesize speech based on some of those parameters It's a relatively simple approach here. They're exploiting the fact that speech has very specific qualities and parameters that you can readily The the the the channel is able to distinguish between those different things Our system is very similar. We're going to We're going to try to Take what they've done a certain thing. They've taken these parameters. They've synthesized things we want to figure out a better way to characterize the voice channel itself and See if we can come up with a higher bit rate We've decided that 2400 bit per second audio is Much better than 1200 bit per second audio and so much so that it's worth Investigating how to make that happen And again, there's our proposed system block diagram and This is a high-level diagram about the the flow of data through the system So you have a microphone at one end that's going into an analog to digital converter So you get your audio samples you put that through a speech compression routine and And the output of that is the 2.4 kilobits per second and you run that through some kind of crypto we're proposing AES block cipher and Run that through a error details later. I Said more details on that later and an error corrective coding which basically means that you can encode the data in such a way that if there are errors on the channel Based on either through the distortion of the GSM voice channel or Drop frames on the over the air as if you go through a tunnel or inside a building It'll be able to correct those errors or at least detect them and finally going through the modem that we're proposing to develop That'll generate valid speech waveforms that will work over the channel and those are fed through directly into the The speech codec on the GSM phone and then go through to the decoder on the other side, which is basically the thing in reverse This is showing Let's do the demo first I'm going to demonstrate some of the basically using a Simple approach to the problem trying to determine how the GSM voice channel will corrupt the data that you pass through it So what we're proposing is taking Using the voice channel against itself using the speech decoder as a as a mode as the modulator and the speech encoder is the Demodulator, so we're going to send we're going to fill the speech frame up with random bits and see how that Will perform over the channel and see what distortions happen This is another simulink model that we've thrown together that shows in the in the middle of this block right here is the the speech channel itself and we're proposing to use the the The voice the voice codec of GSM against itself the decoder is put on one side And we're going to fill the frames up with random data and see what happens on the other side This is a this is what it looks like on the output Again, this is random. We're filling the frames up randomly and it's generating what looks like Valid speech information looks a lot like what we saw earlier as far as what the the time domain signal looks like This scope shows the bit error rate of through the channel. I'll run this one more time so you can see it settle in It's taking the average bit error Along the x-axis is the bit position inside of the frame and into the page is the frame number and The amplitude is the number of bits that were flipped on average Let's run this again No, it's very angry at me. I don't even know what that means. Anyway Point being the bit error rate settles to about 25% so one bit out of four is flipped when you put it through like just Using a rudimentary system like this and we propose that we're our research will continue as far as Developing a scheme that is able to pass a high bandwidth amount of data through that's acceptable speech quality That will minimize that 25% is far too high to pass meaningful data through Matlab for Mac is not very good either by the way I Know it on that. There's a free Matlab. I don't know if you guys know about octave. It's basically Matlab minus the hundred thousand dollar fee It's available online. You can search Google for it octave. Thank you, Miss Kutana I want to take a slight segue for a second and go back to what he was saying about 3gp 3g solving this issue. I think it'll solve some of the issues, but if you can purchase a data channel near that is high bandwidth and low left latency To do voice over IP Off a regular cell phone that kind of cuts into the market that cell phone providers have today And I'm kind of worried that they might take steps to prevent that but we'll see when they actually stop properly rolling things out Here we have our network stack or stack On the top voice channel, which is a low bit rate voice encoder 2.4 kilobits per second The secure channel Which we will go into in just a moment The modulated data channel, which is the voice modem and the ECC And on top of those are all on top of the GSM voice channel and of course the GSM network Otherwise the bits wouldn't go anywhere Channel expectations We had to make some decisions and do some research on what we could expect the lower levels to behave like Detected and fixed a bit corruption will be common undetected bit corruption will be rare, but we'll deal with that Undetected frame loss sorry detected frame loss depends on network quality and is reasonably common You most likely hear drop frames during your cell phone conversations all the time We hope to have no undetected frame loss as I said frame loss and undetected bit corruption will produce gobbled speech which is pretty much similar to what you hear nowadays So it's what cell phone users are used to and is a acceptable error state So our threat model Who are we trying to protect against of course industry as spinach foreign governments Anyone with ten thousand dollars worth of equipment? And of course TLA's those damn TLA's Three letter agencies not acronyms What are we trying to protect against a break of our most privacy loss of confidentiality break of authentication of the loss of integrity The theory and threats in our threat model are drop frames frame replay frame bit corruption partial frames and of course cryptographic attacks So drop frames as I said earlier we should be able to deal with as we can detect and Increment our counters for that frame replay will either break the GSM We'll either upset the GSM stack and break the call or We'll corrupt the cryptographic channel which will end up with a error state like the one we were talking about Moments ago bit corruption will just add slight blurbs or garbled speech which shouldn't exactly Deviate much from the error state as well Partial frames will be interesting Probably end up corrupting the call as well or hopefully getting the GSM call drops. We're currently looking to that cryptographic attacks Those are the fun ones of course we're hopefully picking strong enough crypto and strong enough protocols so that these can be avoided of Course these are all closed source protocols. Yeah, I'm just kidding channel availability Increasing the availability of GSM calls is really kind of outside the scope of this project It is ridiculously trivial to block GSM voice channels as you probably noticed from being inside casinos and Getting no service You can purchase cell phone jammers a lot of places have For not too much money. You can corrupt frames over the wire You'd have to be a TLA to do that probably And you can also just request from the service operator disables the voice channel or disables the account altogether So as you can see it's not really practical for us attempt to increase availability of the voice channel we're hoping and it seems that Channel will not significantly decrease the availability of the calls will not significantly decrease using our scheme Which is good Secure channel secure channel provides voice privacy. It does not provide message authentication The reason being is we're working with a reasonably low bandwidth, and we don't have space for max or anything like that sadly so we're relying on the authentication in the key exchange and any manipulation of the Any manipulation of the data Going over the watt or going over the air will cause garbled speech and but will not break the cryptographic channel Here is a wonderful diagram of the initiation of the secure channel Dave Hellman variable key sized being hashed into our session key into a send and receive key and our two counters Which you'll see more of later? Here's a general diagram of our encryption model This is for send of course session key is generating a send key Through Shah which is then used with a yes in a counter mode with our send counter And I said before when a frame is dropped We will have to increment the counter to stop from destroying the entire secure channel Once the key students be generated That is exiled with the voice data which increase creates our cybertext and which is passed off to the voice modem the modulated data channel There is many more details in the white paper which is available on the web page Key exchange we're utilizing Ferguson-Schneyer key negotiation protocol because it is a wonderfully strong design I like what Schneyer and Ferguson have done and the key size is flexible Which is extremely key in this situation. We have Two ends of this we can have extremely limited hardware Having a Bluetooth headset that's doing the voice encryption for you extremely lightweight and we need to save as much Sorry use minimal CPU processing as possible and we have another end where you're running this on your laptop over your generic Landline not that any of you have a generic landline So we want to have the flexibility that that entails the second choice with station to station protocol I definitely like the fact that you can encrypt the signatures in station to station But it lacks the key size flexibility, which really kind of killed it for me Thanks. Thanks for deleting that slide. Well, no problem It was the key exchange as described earlier Alice generating I'm not even going to go into that you can read details with that in the white paper I don't make a comment on authentication. Most of the products and the one even detailed by Zimmerman Rely on you reading a Section of text backed over the phone line to the other person to make sure the Divi Helman key did not break Sorry, there wasn't a man in the middle attack on the Divi Helman key exchange I don't like that not on a channel where you only have 2.4 kilobits of voice data going over the the Possibility of someone being able to spoof what your friend's voice sounds like on a channel that's that Low bit rate is is quite possible on that kind of scares me. So we're attempting to use DSA for Authentication rather than relying on the person that reading the keys back I'm sorry reading the hash of the keys back over which really kind of scares me also I think crypto phone g10 and the other products do that They have better voice They have a higher bit rate voice encoding which should make that Not as easy an attack, but it's still definitely possible and that really kind of disturbs me Conclusions and questions Also, if you have any questions via email We're available info at cellular crypto.com where these slides and all the other Matlab code and simulink code are for your viewing pleasure. They're also the white paper Will be up there momentarily when I can actually get onto the network. Oh Yeah, too. I'll to reiterate the point of this is to Create a generic system a scheme though. It'll work over any type of voice link It happens to be that GSM is pretty difficult due to the large amount of compression And so if it works over GSM, it'll work over anything else That's the that's the idea and that's what we're trying to do Awesome possum. We have and also we only had about 50 minutes to do this and we had a lot of technical information that we had to gloss over but uh hopefully the point got across and Yeah, I it was hard for us to frame this in a way that people could understand Just based upon the fact that a lot of it has to do with voice channel stuff and right it covers two areas, you know, very complex GSM voice channel analyze analysis and a Voice modem and then it covers the cryptography. We attempted not to go into too much detail But you can read the majority of that on the white papers We got a question, but we probably need a mic I'm not familiar with that that guy You sir this yeah, we just try to take like just for the demonstration purposes a test Modem basically just using the maximum amount of bits in that channel if we were sending data at the 13 kilobits per second If you send data at 13 kilobits per second, you get 25% bit error And so we need to use us. We need to generate a Modem that is much more resilient to the distortion involved So that probably implies using a lot less of the of the bandwidth available go ahead. No, it's a work in progress Yeah, we have not actually developed the 2.4 kilobit per second modem as of yet where it's it's an ongoing process We basically built the models to to work on that kind of design. We're at that point at the moment Yes, we hope to have something that's usable in Hopefully my graduate program will allow me to discover this stuff further and give me some amount of funding Good plan any more questions from the audience You sir in the back. I believe the question is how many bit like in the right our random test how many bits were preserved We have a 25 if you if you use them the entirety of the bits of the GSM frame and you twiddle those randomly you get one bit flipped out of every four and Those areas are basically distributed evenly across the frame. There are some bits that are more persistent They will stay they will not be as flipped as readily, but for the most part the areas are evenly distributed. I Don't know if that answers a question, but Excellent any more questions blows If anyone wants to talk to us will be in the bar for the rest of the week and Thank you. You've been a wonderful audience.

My name is Al Simmons, and I am the Hellspawn. What is happening, Magusac?  I know a few of y'all said I would make a good Al Simmons. That voice I did earlier was kinda how he talked in the HBO animated series. His voice was no joke, you know what I mean? Like he'd be like, leave me alone, old man.  He was a very empowered, dark, individual voice, you know what I'm saying? So, post comments down below. Oh, I was just about to end the video. Alright, so let's start out this reaction video of the Mortal Kombat pack. Adults.  Saw's in it? Who's the middle dude right there? I was about to say, yeah, exactly.  You ain't getting me. That wasn't on point enough. That was not on point enough with the graphics there to get me. You didn't fool me, old man. But they almost got me if it was a good muff. Yeah, you got the good ol' Magusac. Post comments down below, let me know if it got you. Magusac. What million subscribers?


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspeaskacebrakes.com with another box of 2022 Panini Impeccable WWE Random Number Block Break Number 3 from jaspeaskacebrakes.com Third and final box of the case that we popped open. Case hit already out, but didn't matter to Chad, Kevin and Terry. They were like, this is fun stuff. Let's get in on it. There are the numbers here. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Four and a six. Ten times are names and numbers. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Ten. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. And ten. Yeah. I guess that's what the people want, Joe Pizzle. They want the WWE. Ten times for the numbers. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. And tenth and final time. Nine. Down to five. All right. Kevin with nine. Three. Two. Zero. Chad with eight and four. Seven. Terry with one. And six. Kevin with five. Number zero gets any and all redemption from the single box here, including one of one redemption. Terry, you'll still get live one of ones. All right. We're going to pause the video really quick. See if there's any trades. When we come back, we'll have the break. Stick around. All right. Welcome back, everybody. No trades. There you go. Yep. From Peanuts. Charlie Brown's when Snoopy tries to go to like a library and they kick Snoopy out of the library or whatever. Wherever he's in. It's like, no dogs allowed. I think that's the only time an adult says anything in those cartoons, those classic cartoons. Otherwise, all the other adults are like, another one. We got one in the last one, right? Am I going crazy? So in random number block two, we got a Goldberg silver bar and I thought it's just one per K. We did. So should we send this back? We should send this back, right? Every time we're shorted autos, everyone's like, yeah, we need an extra box. We need to get more. We got to get a replacement auto. So that means when we get extras, the right thing to do on the other side of it would be to send this back because there must be a case missing it, but probably not, right? Yeah. Joe Pease has sent it back. I mean, that's really the only fair way, but I think I'm thinking people are like, let's just do it. Let me worry about it. All right. We got Alba fire. This girl is on fire. 19 out of 25. Right there. You can do a video. Jaspy's case breaks. Are they getting loaded cases? Check out this and check out this impeccable break where there was a sharpie dot on the corner. They know 43 out of 49. Right. Yeah. We're going to be called out by those guys. There's Natalia. So fire goes to nine. That'll be for Kevin. Natalia goes to three. That will be for Kevin as well. We got Umberto. 40 out of 99. That goes to Kevin and the number zero. Five indisputable reasons why Jaspy's is getting better cases than everybody else. There's Kelly Kelly. 92 out of 99. That's where it reminds me of the, uh, the old David Bowie song rebel, rebel. Uh, that is Kevin with the number two. We got next 2.0 Cantana Chance, indelible ink. 12 out of 25. That'll be for Kevin and the number two. Quite that digit right there. Here is another Cantana Chance. I think it's an autograph on a metal car. This will go to six. There it is. Terry with the number six. I have no idea if she's super popular or not, but there she is. My wrestling knowledge is not very strong. We got Ginny. 91 out of 99. Ginny Weasley from, from Harry Potter. Yeah. Next UK. Uh, that goes to Terry with the number one. That was 91. And we've got Eric. 75 out of 99. That's some sort of Norse rune. Some sort of Norse text here. I just watched the Northman the other day, the other night. And, uh, that looks like, uh, an ancient Norse rune. I think it's a symbol, Joe Pizzle. I want to say that Eric is in here somewhere, right? That's an R. I think it's Norse. Oh, look at that. Eric comprises one half of the marauding, uh, tag team known as the Viking Raiders. So there is, um, there is sort of that, that Viking Norse sort of thing going on there. Uh, so that was Kevin Benedict with number five. And the last one here is Brock Lesnar, Relic and autograph 38 out of 99. Chad Wright with the number eight. There you go, Chad. I don't think I called your number. All break, but this is a good time for it. Brock Lesnar, even I've heard of that guy. Double case hit. I'll take it. Is it gold or silver? No, it's a big relic. Huh. So not another piece of gold, but that's the almighty Bobby Lashley, 22 out of 35. Interesting. We did a whole case before, and we only saw one, um, silver piece, but not like an extra hit like this. So I guess that's possible. So there you have it. That goes to, uh, 22. Kevin Benedict with the number two. Thanks everybody for watching. I'm Joe for jaskyscasebreaks.com, and I will see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


Thank you very much for the honor. This is the first time for me that I'm here at NBAR and I'm quite really taken in by the energy and the whole world and vigor and the fact that people have been waiting around standing there clapping away and you know just not getting tired says a lot about the strength of NBAR as a brand and it is something that is you know the the entire news industry respects, loves and cherishes. I think the most important thing about for me to get this award is that it's a non-nominated category. We have not entered this category or you know sought or ever even expected and therefore for me it has been a delight that you know the jury decided to accord me such a recognition and prestige. I'm really really honored it is so so special. Thank you very much NBAR jury and exchange for media. 2020 is a watershed year and that's a cliched you know phrase everybody says that. I think it's been a lot more than being a cliched you know watershed year. 2020 actually just picked us and pushed us straight to meet our future. A future that we thought was at least three to five years away was suddenly placed right in front of us at once thrilling and scary and I think those companies those products those channels those people have actually done well that have been able to keep pace with this change. I think the most important factor about 2020 when we talk about this year in the future will be the pace and acceleration and the and the whole cutting shot of you just picked up from a place and put on the horizon. The horizon was so far away and suddenly you are at the horizon. I think the biggest thing that we did was being able to keep pace with that change. The greatest contribution came in from our people I mean the people the teams all the teams the editorial team the commercial teams the backend team the tech team the second is the the tech team the technology team the way they were able to innovate in fact as we speak we've been able to do news channels particularly ETNOW with less than single digit I mean with less than double digit people I mean between seven to nine people we have sometimes had an office running the whole channel without a problem and the viewers actually have had no issue with you know our new operation and processes there's a lot of innovations that have happened in fact as we speak we are currently working on certain pilots which can revolutionize not just broadcasting in India but probably globally we are really working on certain solutions which we are experimenting with the pandemic put us in a desperate situation and desperate situation demand such solutions and also it also gives you the guts to talk sort of take chances and we took them of course the content team has been exemplary the most important you know thing was that there were so many people at home and there was fear in the air and fear is a great great ingredient to create stickiness one can play on fear and that temptation I think that entire times network team has been able to keep it keep away from such a temptation we have been absolutely balanced we have right in the beginning wanted to sort of fight fear with facts and we stayed the course we have been balanced we have a we have we have I think you know we I'm happy that we've been able to sort of in this kind of a situation where there have been certain stories which have just sort of broken all all rules I would say you know the palgar story the unfortunate death of Sushant Singh and so on we have been able to be the voice of reason and balanced and probably have come out stronger and you know I was telling somebody in times when there is intense engagement you know even even in personal relationships suddenly you're put together in a project which demands everybody to work together that is when you know the the right impressions are made and those impressions are carried for a long time similarly we believe when there was such intense viewership when people were sitting at home there was no original content people wanting news channels at that time I think times network channels have been able to really really really improve their relationship with viewers and that is for us to now maintain and nurture and continue with and overall I think it's been a bad year from the point of view of health and and medical situation but overall I think economically and technologically and business wise I think this is a year that teaches us so much that the learnings from this one year although coming at at cost will be the return on the on the learnings is going to be a lot lot more over the next two or three years we're already seeing those results I think all in all we've had a fantastic you know coming together of people because it was a trying and trying period and for me therefore getting such a recognition in this year is you know it is so so special thank you very much


What's up guys and gals, Lane here with Layton Sports Cards and we're ripping Topps 2022 pristine baseball case break number three. I'm gonna go over all your teams and we'll get ripping. Akiora Y, Guardians, Anthony P Dodgers, Bill R, Royals, Brian G Metz, Carol G, Tigers, DW Angels, Edgar B, Diamondbacks and Marlins, Eric C Braves, Jacob D Rangers, Jason H Cubs, Jeffrey S White Sox Rockies, Jeffrey F Mariners, Joe R Cardinals, Joshua H Padres, Kevin S Orioles Yankees, Michael S Reyes, Michael M Reds, Roy M Brewers, Russell F A's, Scott L Nationals, Seth P Phillies, Soul C Astros, Steven W Bluejays, Timothy M Giants, Tom B Pirates, Tony K Twins, and Vaughn B with the Red Sox. Those are your teams. Here we go. Break number three. Let's get after it. Let's heat back up. Case one was really good. Case two had some monsters. Definitely it had our lowest numbered cards. We had two out of fives, but let's see what we can get here in case three. Again, four is full and just the Dodgers to go in number five. Dodgers have been hitting like crazy all day, so I don't know why they're still available. Here we go. Good luck, y'all. This is break number three. Appreciate y'all hanging out, grabbing spots on this nice release day daytime session. First up, Mandy Ramirez for the Red Sox out of 15. 13 out of 50. 13 out of 15. Excuse me. Nice hit, Red Sox. 13 of 50 for the Manny. Tim Anderson and Andre Dawson. Carson Kelly going out to Arizona to the Diamond Betts. Marcus Simeon and Juan Soto. Gold out of 50 for the Nationals. 15 out of 50. Nice hit there Nationals. We'll get that one magged for you. Jesse Winker for the Reds. Ozzie Smith and Lorenzo Cain. Max Cranick for the Pirates. That's going to be numbered six out of 99 on the Polestar. David Ortiz and for the White Sox, Tim Anderson. Nice patch auto there. Not numbered refractor. White Sox, Tim Anderson. Jack Flaherty for the Cardinals on the refractor auto. Marcus Simeon and Tim Anderson. Last pack here, box number one. Blue Kyle Gibson out of 75 for the Phillies. Todd Teess, June. And Hoskins out of 99. 27 of 99 for the Phillies. Wander, Brandon Marsh, Max Cranick. That'll do it for box number one. Liam Hendricks, blue out of 75. Nine of 75. Harmon Killebrew and Roberto Clemente out of 99 for the Pirates. Rodolfo Castro. That's going to be not numbered on the Polestar. Got an orange coming. Here we go. Let's go big name. O'Neal Cruz. Kibrian Hayes, orange out of 25. Nice pack there for the Pirates. 12 of 25. Not numbered on the Polestar. Going to the Blue Jays. TJ Freel and Freddie Peralta for the Brewers out of 99 on the Purple. Patrick Corbin for the Nationals. That's going to be numbered 47 out of 99. Xander Bogarts and for the Red Sox, Raphael Devers. Polestar Patch, Otto out of 99. Nice hit there, Boston. Dodgers still to go in break number five. Four is sold out. Let's get break number five filled, y'all. Let's get number five full. Reed Detmer's Gold Rookie, Otto out of 50. Going out to the Angels. Nine of 50. Nice hit there, LA. So much color in this product. And Roger Clemens. Labor Tour is gold out of 50. That's going to be 27 out of 50. Nice hit there, Yankees. And Trey Tern. David Wright, gold out of 50 for the Mets. 31 of 50. That's it. Congrats Mets. Otto going out to the Blue Jays. Nice hit there, Toronto. Vladdy Jr. Not numbered on the Refractor. We'll get that one magged for you. There for the Blue Jays. Corbin Burns out of 50. Going to the Brewers. Brian De La Cruz. Joe Musgrove. Carlos Correa, not numbered. Going out to the Astros. Randy. Jesse Winker Gold for the Reds. Nice hit there, Reds. Since he's doing really well today. Again, just that one spot left in break number five. That's going to be the Dodgers. Let's get that one filled up. Brandon Marsh. Gary Carter for the Mets. And Manny Machado. Yeah, Johnny. I'm really excited for Chronicles 2. Chronicles is always a really fun product. Chronicles is always a blast. Yoni Hernandez on the Refractor Otto. Going out to the Rangers. Not numbered for Texas. Corbin Burns and Tyler Glassna. And Adolis Garcia Blue out of 75 for the Rangers. Buster Pose and Jared Walsh. Box number four. Rob, I don't know what to say at this point about the packaging.  Christian Yellich for the Brewers. Not numbered on the Refractor Otto. Popular demand. Nice hit there, Brewers. Christian Yellich. Vidal Bruhan for the Rays on the Rookie Refractor Otto. Not numbered. Nice hit there, Tampa. Vidal Bruhan. And Nick Solak out of 99 for the Rangers. But yeah, Rob, I agree. There's definitely other ways they could have done this. Boba Shet Blue. Mitch Hannigan. Bingo for the Astros. Jordan Alvarez. Gold Patch Otto out of 50. 16 out of 50. There you go, Houston. Monster hit there. We'll get that one mag for you. Bane Buzz out of 50 on the Gold Pulsar Refractor. One out of 50. Nice hit there, Tampa. Lars Newphar. And Willie Stark. Jackie Robinson. That's going to be not numbered. Yeah, Ryan, I mean, it makes sense. If you really look at how it's packaged out, you have the encased card. Then inside that pack, you have your two Refractors, which can either be numbered or not numbered. Like the Chipper Jones is not numbered. And then the Chipper Jones Orange. There you go, Braves. Chipper Jones Orange out of 25. And then you got your base pack here. Although we have hit a Gold Juan Soto in the base pack. So that's why you just got to double check your base pack. But overall, I mean, it makes sense. It's just a tedious thing to open. Adolis Garcia. I'd rather the Refractor's been like the top two cards in the pack as opposed to not in the pack, though, would make things a little bit easier if it was just like pack encased card and pack inside. Yeah, exactly. That's the only thing that I would change. Ryan, I'm not sure. The only thing I didn't ever rip Tops Pristine like back in the day when it originally came out. So I don't know how the formation of the product was back then. They might just be replicating how they did it then. Also, Tops Chrome Black has the base pack. Manual Rodriguez Blue. Tops Chrome Black is the only other one I can think of that has a base pack. And Jorge Sola. Hey, good luck, Greg. And thanks for coming into the shop. We appreciate that. We appreciate that a lot. Ozzy Smith, red out of five on the color match for the Cardinals. Boom. That is nasty. Congrats, St. Louis on that one. You can get numbered cards in the base pack, Ryan. We hit a Juan Soto Gold in the base pack. So I guess it's technically not a base pack. And there's the Refractors. Fernando Tatis Jr. Going out to the Podger. I like the product a lot. I'm liking this a lot. Like I said, the only downside is that they put the two Refractors outside like that. Wade Boggs for the Rates. Movan for the Red Sox. That's going to be numbered 16 out of 50 on the gold. Pure Power Gold for Escobar. And for the Brewers, Christian Yelich Patch Auto. That's going to be the Refractor variation not numbered. Nice hit there, Brewers. Caleb, the Brewers are loaded in this stuff. This is the product to be taken the Brewers in, in my opinion. Every case there's been tons of them. There's another one. Freddie Peralta for the Brewers. Refractor Auto not numbered. Anyone else that's a Brewers fan, definitely recommend this product. Mike Mostakis. Lot of big name Brewers from old time vets to modern current players. Fair. For the Red Sox, Roger Clemens Gold Refractor. 32 out of 50. Nice hit there, Boston. There we go. Babe Ruth Gold for the Yankees. 6 out of 50. Nice hit there, Yanks. Yes, there are packs inside of the packs inside of the packs. It's Topps Inception, except for it's not Inception. It's Pristine. No, Inception is one pack per box. Inception does not do packs inside of packs. Trevor Rogers for the Marlins. Blue. Ha, that'd be funny. That would be hilarious. Hideki Matsui. Sixto Sanchez Purple. Colton Welker. And Boba Shek. Boba Shek. So who do y'all think was the biggest snub of the All-Star Game? Matt Chapman Gold out of 50 for the A's. 3 out of 50. Joey Gallow and Tyler Gilbert. Okay, so I had never opened it in the early 2000s, so that makes sense that it's the exact same packaging. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for sharing that with us, Zach. Lorenzo Cain Pink Pulsar out of 15. I knew back in the day you got the encased card, but I didn't know how the rest of the pack formation went. Brandon Drury. Interesting. That just ripped off the top corner of that inner pack. Teosca Hernandez and Nelson Cruz Gold. Freddie Freeman for the Braves. Yeah, J. Ram should have been a starter. I agree with that. I think Cease might actually be the biggest snub. Yep, definitely Keston. Bichette Fran Morelles. I think it might be Cease though. The numbers he's been putting up are insane. Jake Berger. Rookie Auto for the White Sox. Ryan, isn't Drury gonna get traded? What do you think about that? I think Drury gets traded before the deadline. Rod Peru. And for the Royals, Refractor Patch Auto not numbered. Andrew Benintendi. Another guy that likely gets traded at the deadline. Yeah, I get that. He definitely walks a lot. He's always walked a lot. Paul Goldschmidt for the Cardinals. Nice hit there, St. Louis. Devers and Frank Robinson. Even the boxes don't want to open. This is fun. There we go. Gavin Sheets, Refractor for the White Sox. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, Debs. Nick Castellanos and Joey Wendell. How do they stick with that? Eduardo Escobar. There's a Vladdy Sr. That's it. Vladdy Guerrero for the Expos. That's gonna go to the Nationals and Garrett Cole. Thanks, Caleb. Caleb just dropped a link. Just the Dodgers to go in break number five. Break number four is full. Dick Allen. Orange out of 25. Going out to the White Sox. Two of 25. Nice hit there. Ripken Jr. Gold out of 50. 31 out of 50. And this is break number three. One box left to go in break number three. And then we got break number four right after this. Adolis Garcia for the Rangers. Break number four is full. So as soon as this is done, we'll move right into it. Select get break five full. Let's fill that up, y'all. Paul Dijon and Will Smith, Refractor Auto. Going to the Dodgers. I would agree with that, Ryan. I would agree with that. Aaron Nola Blue. Y'all hear that? Rich is jumping in after this case. So definitely fill up the Dodgers. Rich is gonna be breaking the next couple cases. Adolis Garcia and Mike Moustakis. Y'all get a special treat today. Rich rarely breaks anymore. Should be a lot of fun for y'all. Jackie Robinson and Nathan Evaldi out of 25. Going to the Red Sox. Last box here. Break number three. And then like we just said, Rich will be jumping in for break four. Dusk just the Dodgers to go in number five. T.J. Fraddle. Orange out of 25. Jesse Winker. And Griffey. We got a gold coming. Pita Lonzo Gold. 46 out of 50. And that's why we go through the base pack. Nice hit there, Mets. Uh, Dusty, it really just depends on who you like to collect. Chipper Jones, but you can hit Mike Trout. You can hit Griffey Jr., O'Neill Cruz, Wander. There's a lot of different teams. It just depends on who you like. If you're chasing PC, if you're chasing, uh, like big hits. I mean, the Dodgers have a lot of big hits. That's why I'm kind of surprised they're still left. Vladdy Jr., JD Martinez on the Orange out of 25. I would have to just look at what our pricing was. I didn't really look it over. Andy Pettit. Yankees should be a big team. Red Sox should be a big team. Angels, Mariners. All those teams are going to be bigger, bigger value teams. Aaron Judge. In pair, Dua, Paul Goldschmidt. There you go, Cardinals. That's a huge hit. Congratulations. That's so sick. Oh, we got a thick one coming. It's like a 180. Juan Soto. And how about that? For the White Sox, Jose Abreu, Orange Patch, Otto out of 25. 16 of 25. Nice hit there, White Sox. That was a crazy pack. That pack was insane. Dua Otto and an Orange Jose Abreu. Yeah, all of these breaks this morning does our PYT. Yep. Jaren Duran on the rookie Otto out of 99. Jaren Duran for the Red Sox. Kyle Ripken and Cedric Moles. Last pack here. Good luck, y'all. And then Rich is going to be jumping in. Rafael Devers out of 75. Going to the Red Sox. Jim Tomin and Correa. And that'll do it for break number three. Thank you, everyone. Moving right on to break number four.


I only made one resolution this year. On January 1st, I started the ketogenic diet. At the time, I weighed 226.2 pounds and after my first month of results, I've lost almost 15 pounds. I posted my results after the first week of progress on Facebook. I wanted the results public to basically hold my feet to the fire. I've lost nearly 22 pounds in 41 days. You really don't notice the weight loss on any given day until you compare where you were and where you are right now.


Yo, yo, yo, welcome to this voiceover. Was this one of the most difficult moves, office revamps that I've ever done? Possibly. Do I like the results? Sort of. I am pretty happy with the way that the room turned out. It is a small-ish room, especially when you add all the furniture in, as you will see at the end. But I just got loads of stuff from IKEA for the first time in my life. I own all the furniture in a flat, because I've never had that before. I've always moved into places which have been pre-furnished, so it was pretty interesting to try and figure out what I like. Also, you might hear trains in the background because I now live next to a train track and I thought I would find that really annoying, but actually I find it quite soothing. So there you go. I really wanted to figure out a space dedicated for each thing that I do in my life. So like a freelancer slash, you know, desk set up for my staff, my computers, and then a desk for working on, for filming, and then like an area for packaging and having all the products that I sell in Etsy there. And yeah, I also needed this space to be a spare room for any guests that come over. So it was pretty much like packing a load of stuff into one space. You can see here that I'm just looking at all my pictures and stuff, because I had this idea to have a lot of shelves of pictures on the walls. But I didn't do that in the end because I'm scared to hang up the shelving units. I need to figure it out. I will do it eventually. But I framed a lot of my prints that I got sent from artists and things like that, which is nice. I finally got my hands on one of these trolleys that can just hold all my art supplies, which I was hoping could be a relatively easy way to just grab something that I fancied using, but it still has that thing in my brain where I'm like, I can't see it, so I don't really think about it. If that makes sense, like I really would love to have like shelves with just be able to display loads of stuff. But, you know, I've only got this small space, so what can I do? I'm working with a smallish area, so I just had to use that. And I think it looks pretty cute. The area looked quite nicer. The part that I had done, I roped in Chris to help a lot with a lot of the furniture. And I got this like shelving unit from IKEA as well, which I really like. This one was like a relatively cheap shelf compared to the other stuff I got. And I thought it was going to look a bit naff, but actually, I think it's one of my favourite like furniture things that I bought. But yeah, just putting my books up there and my favourite books and all this different stuff and I really like it. I like it. I like the way that this room turned out. And I hope that you guys will like the tour at the end. So I'll just stay quiet whilst you watch me organising all this other stuff. I said that and then I realised that I filmed me getting my Patreon rewards so here are the stickers based off the painting. I said that and then I realised that I filmed me getting my Patreon rewards. So here are the stickers based off the painting that I got. And I really like the way they turned out. They look weird on the backing, but they're see-through stickers. So they look much better by themselves, if I make sense of out the backing on them. And then I also got these prints. So those have already been shipped off to patrons. And unfortunately, you can't get it off Patreon anymore, but maybe I'll put it up in my shop if anyone wants this stuff. But yeah, back to the office organisation. OK, I am not one to brag, but this I got this.  I think it's for a plant, but it has a lid. I'm going to use that as a bin and I got it for five pounds. Five pounds, guys. It was on sale and it's like proper ceramic. So I think it's really cute, so I'm just going to use it as a bin. And they've absolutely covered it with stickers. So hopefully those all come off. It was 25 pound. I'm very, very pleased with myself. Look at that bad boy. OK, guys, this is it. Time for the big reveal. I see big. So what really is it? So I've got my little door stop here and bags on the back of the door. We've got this unit from Ikea. It's got books, sketchbooks, bits and bobs. It's a little bit messy. I would like to sort it out a little bit more, but, you know, just time. I've got some sketchbooks, canvases there. My dying plant, if anyone has any tips, help me. I am not a very good plant, mum. I've been spraying it with water. I don't know what happened here, but the cats have just been chewing it. So I've got my Starbucks cup that I painted and then also a costume on mirror. My YouTube plaque, my old laptop, some prints, my favorite squishy in the world, because it came from Japan and it's still can you shut up? It still smells of peaches and also this tingle toy that Chris got me and it's an in-joke a bit because I absolutely hate tingle from Zelda. And he went to New York with his friends and he came back and bought me this and I was like, are you joking? I absolutely hate tingle, but now I kind of love it because it's funny. Also, I like tingle. I don't like him, but I like to hate him, if that makes sense. There's Gigi and he is just investigating if there's any plastic he can eat, which I risen, I hope. No plastic for you. I was sitting on a giant box of my Lego because I don't know where to put it. Yeah, I need to like move that somewhere else. And here is my sort of organizational packing sort of case shelf thing for when I get orders. So this is really handy. This is from IKEA. It was quite cheap and it just you can stack. I think it's for like CDs, not CDs. I'm not actually sure what it's for, really, maybe records. But yeah, I just put loads of my prints here so I can just grab them quickly. I've got my comics in these like clear boxes. So they're just they're safe from the elements. Usually have them covered up. And then I've got like all my stickers here as well in little individual packages so I can just grab them if somebody orders them. Some more Emily is burning, which I think I'll never sell out of because it just doesn't really sell anymore. Some comics to hand my nails that I got from that online TikTok shop that is really quite famous. She did me some spirited away and your name nails that were going to be for my wedding, but then they didn't arrive in time. So I just have some awesome nails. My Cree cut, which I never use because it intimidates me. I've got down here loads of different packaging. I save I try to save like lots of different packaging. So like up here, I've got like different envelopes and packing things. I've got all my tissue paper. And my I have like loads of these cards now for patrons. So I've got loads of those. And yeah, I've got loads of packing things on my thank you cards here, which I bought way too many of because I don't know. I don't know why I bought so many. I was like, this is a clever thing to buy a lot of them. They just haven't really sold. I've got my favorite books ever. These ones need to read this still. I just think these are really nice, pretty books. So I put them up here and a picture of Frank Otto that I got in Amsterdam. Otto Frank, not Frank Otto, looking in on the attic. And I got this like really cool sort of photo holder, print holder from Brighton, like this art of craft there. Just an IKEA lamp. And I got this like little pom-pom things from Urban Outfitters, which I really think are cute and kind of tie like the whole building unit together. I think this is probably like the cutest part of the the studio. I got this, you know, like every artist has to have. And I was like, oh, this is so convenient to store my art supplies because I can see them, but it's like on the carpet. It's like to take it anywhere, but it's still pretty convenient. So moving on to my beautiful ceramic bin. Then I've got my massive printer, which I do not recommend for prints. I just, I don't know why I got it. Don't ask me. Cat bed that no one's lying on because it's too hot. I'll create a box which you need to throw out or figure out what to do with. So this is like my filming desk. It's really nice to have two desks, one for like my day job and one for filming because it means I don't have to keep setting stuff up to film. It's just there so I can just, if I want to film something, I could just go for it, which is so much easier. I've been filming a lot of TikToks recently, which was fun. So that's the, I've been filming some TikToks here. I filmed one yesterday and then I didn't like the way I edited it. So I took it down, but yeah, I'm just using this scraper tool and doing some fun things with like mark making. But yeah, just a bit, some bobs. I've got my teapot from Marzia, my painting, subscription box, some more paintings and things that I need to put up because I've got like shelves there. I've got like shelves there from IKEA that I need to put up, but I'm not sure about it. I don't really want to plug in anything. It's Gigi by the window. This is where I keep my main art supplies and things. And then here's my working desk. I have just a small IKEA desk and then I can just swivel my chair around or not to work on content stuff if I want to. I've got a little lamp here, which I really think is quite cute, but it kind of shines in my eyes a bit too much. But it has a dimmer, which is really good. Got a couple of things stuck to wall here, which I like. I like that aesthetic of sticking things to the wall. I don't think I'll do too much. Yeah, so I don't know what this is called. I think it's a problem solving that I got it in a temple in Japan about four. No, it's not 14 years ago, like 10, 11 years ago. And it just basically is supposed to mean something to you. And it just kind of reminds me to work a bit hard and be versatile in what I do, if that makes sense. I don't know. I've got my camera. Oh, God, I just got my camera with this arm that I got for live streaming, but it just comes in handy for freelance work. Here's my desk. So I got this fake plant, which I absolutely hated. I bought it online on IKEA for like a pound. And then I was like, oh, I thought it was real. And then it came in as fake. I'm like, but actually, I kind of grow in accustomed to it kind of like it now. I've got my blue glasses that stop the blue light. This little model that I made of my neighbor to Toro. And under here, I keep like little bits and bobs. This is my kind of remember this is called this tablet. The eye, Mac, which I just basically listen to music or have something on in the background. Just these are the pens that I use quite often. So I just have them by me. This is my to-do notebook. I framed some prints that I got from some friends. Well, friends, I got from other artists. This one's from Joyce, and this one's from Casey Golden. And this one is from Julian Tamaki from Short Box. It's basically like a cloth printed on, which is really cool. I've got my Tamagotchi. I've got my print that I made myself. I've got a big Dina print that I would like to frame. It's just rediscovered again. I've got some plushies. Some of those are from Casey Golden. One is Pom Pom Puren from Japan, which I love. And this is a sock monkey that is called Momot that Chris made years and years ago before he met me. And then I stole it. I've got my long hot water bottle for my back, which always goes out. So I have to have a hot water bottle in the morning, as my osteopath describes. Here are some cat toys. This is a pillow my sister made me for Christmas one year. We look you at different cross stitch of studio jubilee stuff, which I love. And then I've got loads of pillows. And this is the back of the room, some bags. N64. No, we boxes and things for some reason. And then Gigi's back on the desk and that is the whole room. So yeah, it's not like super beautiful, amazing. Oh, also, this is a daybed from IKEA and it's got loads of like books and old sketchbooks in it and stuff. But it's not that interesting. And also this light is it didn't fit. This is a light bulb from IKEA, which I really love because you can scrunkle it to be the shape you want, which is really cool. I don't dare not touch it because it's going to fall. But my light has like three lights and I've checked it.  But I've like tied it up myself because it didn't fit otherwise. But I really like it. I think it really fits the room. It's a bit ostentatious, a bit too much. But I kind of like it. And yeah, that's my room. It works for me. It does the job. It's not like a beautiful open light airy space. But it suits me for now. And I hope that you guys like my sort of honest room makeover tour. Yeah, let me know what you guys think. I like it, but it's not like beautiful. Is it? Let's be real. So that's it. That's my room tour. And I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. Please leave me a like if you did because it super helps the algorithm But yeah, thanks for watching, guys. And I will see you next time. Also, thanks to my patrons. You guys rock. Bye.

It's a breakfast and plus TV Africa many thanks for joining us and being part of the show this morning first conversation right here a seizure of security as We battle against insecurity The federal government is in Mac 1.53 trillion are to prosecute the ongoing anti-insurgency fight in the country. This was contained in the 20.51 trillion are 2023 budget proposal Presented to the National Assembly by President Mohammed the Buhari on Friday the 7th of October Now findings indicate that out of this 1.35 trillion are the Ministry of Defense and Amp forces have been allocated over 1.248 trillion are to fight Boko Haram bandits and other anti-insurgency wars in the 2023 appropriation deal personnel expenditure will go up over 1 trillion are overhead costs 90.961 billion are and capital expenditure 156.294 billion in recent years Niger has increased this military spending and Defense budget to enhance its military power and further improve security according to the World Bank in 2016 Niger approve a defense budget of 1.72 billion dollars The budget for the following year was 1.62 billion dollars, which showed a 5.92 percent decline in 2018 the military spending budget was 2.04 billion dollars 26.02 percent increase over the previous year's figure. However this decline by 8.95 percent in 2019 when the military budget stood at 1.86 billion dollars But it increased to 2.4 billion dollars in 2020 and the country increases military spending by a massive 56 percent in 2021 to reach 4.5 billion dollars the it also moved from 2016 in 2016 to 2022 where Nigeria spent over 19.9 billion in total on security alone Nigeria has toppled the list of countries in sub-Saharan Africa with the highest defense spending 5.8 billion dollars in the whole of Africa on the other hand Algeria has 9.7 billion dollars spent for military purchases Morocco followed after Niger with 5.4 billion dollars and overall not Africa was the region Allocating the largest budget to national defense on the continent according to data published by Statistia in April 2022. I mean these are the statistics but this morning We have an expert who joins the conversation Dixon Osage, who's a criminologist and global security analyst Dixon. Thank you for joining us I like to share your thoughts I mean on the recent proposed budget for you know defense and security One thing I could say we are not But in a joint state For support Two weeks ago we had They don't have funds We'll take out our It's right now. I'm I don't have an issue But you look for them Which is very very This trillions of We need to It is a In the Nigerian army Multidimensional security threat So the funds will be allocated to appropriate quarters that what about accountability? We're not talking about accountability in our part of this world Every given nation the military must give account of the expenditure How do you spend this money? Soldiers, I like to bring you back again and that's because we had poor communication I mean when you started with your thoughts it was almost impossible to hear you but so let's let's start off again My question is your thoughts on the recent budget or budget proposal for 2023 by the federal government Hey, we are we are very rich And uh while ago we made to understand that we are broke that we cannot take back our students We cannot take our students back to school. That is the answer strike That was what was working to my mind however Uh, I'm not what I'm not bothered about these funds that is going to defense But my own worry here is the return of security investment in every given nation when a country or a government Deploy such kind of funds the government in return is suspected to have Security return of investment that's return on security investment Which simply means that you and I Can move around freely without being intimidated or being co-hosted by these criminal elements That means we can be able to move we can be able to travel by road And see without being intimidated So now looking at these funds that tells you that we don't have issues from this project From the strategic center of gravity The problem we're having is operational activity on tactics That is why we are still suffering from the state of insecurity today Now another problem we also have is accountability How do we account for these funds? What are the people in charge to ensure that these funds are not being misappropriated? Because security is becoming a insecurity is becoming a business in Nigeria There are some people that don't want this security issues to end because of this Magnanimous funds that the federal government are releasing. So if we'll have an effective Accountability I tell you for free that Nobody will come to the Nigerian place and begin to divert funds But I wish the military were and I want to encourage them to carry out an effective counterinsurgency And ensure they bring Nigeria back to a state of peace because it stands We are in a mixed situation security wise Well, um, so I understand the fact that it's important that we pay attention to what the returns will be It's more like you are investing a certain amount and it's expected that you should have an outcome And that's what we should be looking at. We'll get to that, you know in no time But let's also look at the fact that in all of this if we're saying that uh 20 point Let's call it 20 trillionaire. That's what we're budgeting for The government is also planning to borrow 8.8 trillionaire to fund the 2023 budget The question here is what do we even get all of these funds? It's a lot. And so We're going to be borrowing, right? Because we don't have so do you think that this is even A rational thing to do. Do you think that this even makes any sense? How do we even solve this when we're going to be borrowing at the end of the day and we're looking at 1.35 trillion Well, I will answer your questions from two perspectives The first point is if We are going to borrow these funds from external forces And these funds We mitigate the high speed of intercuting in Julia And they show that our soldiers Are protected our military are protected The society is protected our territorial space is protected our water site and waterways are protected Then I will accept or agree with the government to borrow That if we are to borrow these funds and we don't have return on security investment That is to say on the other hand, we cannot move freely in Nigeria We cannot travel freely in Nigeria and our soldiers are being keyed like chickens Our police officers are being keyed like chickens by these criminal elements What is the essence of borrowing? Because the whole essence of borrowing is to meet your demand is to meet Your expectations So I don't think we need to borrow to bring Nigeria to a state of peace If we have an effective accountability system All this why we have been spending trillions of naira All this why we have been spending billions of naira. What is the result? Today Nigeria is the capital is the capital of the world Today Nigeria is the second or third most terrorized Nation in the world a country of over 200 million people six largest nation in the world I don't think we are doing things right. I just believe from my own position That our political class from 2009 sorry 1999 Still kids They have failed this country I say that with all sense of humility with all sense of accountability Because we cannot have leaders that are not patriotic We cannot have leaders that does not think about the well-being of the experience about the well-being of you and I And how they think is corruption. How they think is embezzlement All they think is to move our funds to develop all that nations. That is why we have arrived at this stage Few days ago, we see The a vessel that was bombarded that comes to our creek to, you know, divert our Natural resources. This you don't know. So for me, I think That we shouldn't borrow to put things right. Let us manage what we have If we know our military cannot resolve this bit of insecurity because this government promised us that by december 2022 The high threat of insecurity would be reduced so as low as reasonably acceptable That's the stance our policemen are being killed every day our soldiers are being killed every day And I'm not seeing results of our 2021 budget So, I mean so it brings us back to that 2021 because I was really going to ask that, you know It feels like the security situation has worsened Despite the fact that in seven years plus counting we have spent about eight trillion hour in terms of defense And that has not improved. So my question is why? There's a school of thought that believe that if we improve, you know spending on In terms of our budget on security and defense, it will translate into improvement Of security and lives and properties internally and externally And we see that apart from Nigeria, Africa as a continent. I mean, there's a lot of you know, uh Huge budgets budgeting however, but that hasn't really translated into Any tangible result. So my question is why? Okay, if you ask me why I will refer you to a budget That is the central strategic center of gravity But as an analyst, let me just hand answer your question because uh You know, we have we play with insecurity here in Nigeria We play a lot with insecurity like few years ago when we were expecting the two kind of checks You know, everybody were bouncing, you know, we're all happy that once these two kind of jet arrived I'll be able to check from yet. So some bizarre forest which have been Harassment by this criminal At the stand, I don't even know where those Supano jet have deployed, you know, so my position is this We need to understand something very clearly in this country. And that is why it's anything happened in this great nation I personally have said it on many fora. I will hold the major accountable. There is no divination That succeed without the capability efficiency and capability of his military The military are supposed to hold the territorial integrity of this great nation They need to take themself or take a departure from politicians They need to fight it before between themselves and politicians I don't see a reason why we have a country where we have an effective military and still yet Terrorists insurgents on Okada Are taking over territories are taking over our lands Where are our two kind of ready? Okada's are taking over our land Where are our military equipment? Where this one is Okada's are taking over our territory? So for me Budget allocation is not the problem. The problem here is accountability and deployment of those funds Now these funds we're talking about how much or how well are we taking care of our soldiers? Because in the part of it, you don't only have the weapons. That's what we call the shell acronym We have the software you use software in the pathway you use hardware in part away And you also use the The demand demand where you know the life where which happens to be the soldiers the officers How are we taking care of our mage? How are we taking care of our soldiers? Those are soldiers that have been trapped up to the part of it. What are they being paid monthly? What are the money allowance? We are not talking about Motivations even though the military try to tell us that they're motivated them I can tell you for free that our military are not doing a well in the area of motivations And that is the truth So we need to start looking at A lot of things because Kanta itself gently is not just a one-way traffic It's a multi-dimensional approach. We need to start looking at the political strategy We need to start looking at economic strategy. We need to start looking at employment Strategy, we need to also start looking at tactical strategy because one of the problems I have highlighted in this operation in our own from military perspective is the operational and tactical strategy Count 2023 the Nigerian military needs to carry out a cover analysis against this enemy and ensure That the operational and tactical strategy Is well addressed if you don't address your personal strategy You don't address your tactical strategy The enemy will hit you so hard that you will not believe So we must stop this friendly march. We are playing with these enemies and bring back the glory of Nigeria Okay, so, um, so do you think that in all of this, uh, some persons would say that You know the issue that we're faced with at the time security concerns are internal issues I mean with the fact that we have terrorists and kidnapping and banditry It's more like a cocktail a combination of what had happened and it feels like it's exploding right so That we should pay attention to the root causes. We should pay attention to internal issues If we pay attention to internal issues, it would take care of Some of the security challenges that we're faced with so my question to you now is do you think that We need to pay attention of, you know, some internal issues some of which you have addressed the issue of, you know, structural Conflict I mean structural issues that will, you know, let it take care of, you know, the mega issues at the end of a day Well, I think before you put the question to me, you know the question the answer You know the answer very well. It's a capital. Yes You know, the majority country at war has success against success I mean, we're suffering from internal world situation. We are not suffering from external aggression We are suffering from internal aggression. So like you rightly said, uh, the root cause analysis That is very important because that's what we'll classify that because that's the factors Because if you go to the hospital today, you know, this is the doctor start touching your stomach touching your ears Trying to know where you are reacting to pains or where you are feeling okay or well That's an assessment of your whole body system. It's just like military operations. You know, you need to carry out vulnerability and risk analysis of what is happening in Nigeria Uh, we want to talk about because every factors. Well, I would not tell you comment. They started the 2009 or 1999 Uh, we go into history or an effective study Uh, the history of the security started after the Nigerian civil war The Nigerian government at that time were so interested, you know, in bringing Nigeria to a state of peace in bringing Nigeria after one nation they forgot this this armament components of the pre uh post 1967 civil war and what they did was to start bringing back Nigeria They didn't carry out this armament program and that is where we have Small arms and ammunition going into the hands of the bad guys And that's where the likes of great celebrity and robots like Shola and co and Nini Cape to come into the Nigerian state now coming back to 1999 when the Uh, uh, one would go one would, uh, you know, hand it over the military leadership to democracy We are respected the government at that then, you know, to carry out a 20 30 years Security plan, you know, but we didn't do that. We know each government come with their own plan Once you don't understand it as a nation is that It's not about political system. It's not about political parties. The political party is a game of two phase You either win or you lose When you get into power It has to be the Nigerian party the Nigerian state and that's why we need to start having our leaders Having a you know 10 20 years security plan to ensure that we do not, you know Hand over insecurity to our children of born Now looking at the causative factors from the Terrorism point of view was the emergence of Boko Haram and the capture of she both gets in 2014 that gave Boko Haram, you know, uh, publicity globally You know in 2009 when this incident transpired, I'm trying to address Uh, the causative factors when this incident transpired in 2009 the Nigerian government were so shift to project the military Then I thought that the military would go there and clean and you know Eliminate these guys and bring the guys to the office. No When it comes to security, the military is the last resource That is to tell you that we should have protected the Nigerian police at the early stage who we know very well that the general police So only responsible for internal security But if it exceeds the capability of the general police that's why we bring in the military As it stands, we need to start building confidence in our Nigerian police We need to start building confidence on our internal security factors before we start bringing in the military because here in Nigeria For so long we have abused Our military In any given situation in reality, you project the military Somebody is fighting. I have a lot of markets. You project the military Somebody have a deck fall down from third mainland bridge. You project the military. That is an operational error But I'd like to find out from you. I mean just quickly as we you know, cost the conversation down with all of this allocation and and you know Budgets has been made over time. We know that we spend a lot in terms of you know, defense and security Does that not cater for the police? So how come the police is you know, seem to be lagging behind? Well, I wouldn't show that we'll have to you know, abandon the police system You know, the police is the bedrock of every Of every state police in why to give you why so I think the project is also Also covered in the Nigerian police I've not found time to read the project holistically because what's the need to sit down and start reading projects That you will not see the results in 20 at the end of 2023 God forbid I believe 2023 is coming election is coming The new leaders should start looking at the Nigerian state. They should start looking at unifying Nigeria. They should start looking at So I mean I mean, I'm just saying that are you saying that you know, the budgetary allocation over time For security and defense does not Cover or does not Encapsulate the police It does it does when we when we talk about defense Defense is not the army navy and air force defense is bringing together all the security components of the Nigerian state both process and non-purpose So that is what the defense covers. So It's possible for you to allocate funds to the defense and That the reason why you think talk is seen that of the Nigerian army navy and air force Is simply because they are the fourth three line of defense of the Nigerian state And that is why most times you see the project of this military, you know being shared on the internet So another issue is talking about the police. We need to that's a very good question We also start need to start looking at effective policing and also effective projecting To the policing system of Nigeria. So if we have that covered as well I think it's going to be of the head to the Nigerian state because There's a time when you go to any police station, you as a citizen, you are going to fund your kids So how do we take Nigeria away from this money? We have a lot to deal with We need to go now. Thank you so much Dixon Osaji for being part of the show. We appreciate your thoughts Well, uh, he's a global security expert analyst right there and he's he's talked about the fact that the issue with You know, uh, our security system is not about, you know, the budget and the continuous spending on Defense and security has not yielded any desired result. And so Accountability and implementation is what needs to be paid attention to and that's it this morning We take a break when we return. We'll be looking at the second conversation. Please stay with us


The Victor Wimbun-Yama hype just keeps getting larger, ESPN now reporting him at 7'5". And I mean it checks out, look at this photo of him in 7'1 Rudy Gobert. I mean he's towering over him. Even Wilder, he's 19 years old, he might have another inch or two to grow, entering the draft at like 7'6", like Yao Ming. I mean this is just like, create a player taken to like the nth degree. There's no wonder he's being called the best prospect since LeBron, this is nuts.


Mvutuzimabasso gushes over his wife of 14 years, I still have butterflies. Actor Mvutuzimabasso is a man in love and isn't afraid to flaunt it. Taking to his Instagram recently, the loved actor decided to celebrate the love of his life, Fatima Metzelen. Celebrating the one you love and respect your god is gonna bless you more as long as she's happy. Yes, we have temptations, but fight. My love, I can't believe after so many years I still have butterflies. God bless this love. Cuckoo, please teach me how to love you more than this. I will do the same also but you know I won't love you more than God, he said. MDU and Fatima have been together and married for more than 10 years and are parents of four children, two of which are from MDU's previous marriage. He shared a range of snaps to celebrate his person. Popular for his role as hardcore gangster suffocate on the now-canned Rhythm City, Mvutuzimabasso told F5 News previously he was, in reality, a soft dude. I am very soft. Most of the characters I have played are hardcore township characters and I am not like that. I guess first impressions stick because my first roles on TV were playing those kinds of characters.
