We are going to go through my 2023 goals. I'm going to let you know if I achieve those goals and if not, why? And we're also going to set some goals for 2024 and we are going to complete my vision board. I'm so excited for my vision board for 2024. I have a lot of goals in mind for the new year.  Subscribe if you're not. Turn your bell on because I upload five videos every week and I have some really great content coming your way in the new year. Check out the description box down below where you will find nutrition coaching.

I'll also have links for my favorite things and come join our Facebook group. It's free and it is a supportive, amazing community that would love to have you. So let's jump into 2023 goals, 2024 goals and to this year's vision board. I'm really excited for the new year. I have some pretty exciting goals set for myself for the new year in all aspects of my life, whether it be health related, job related, personal growth related, financial related. I have so many exciting goals for the new year. Now every year I complete my vision board. So this is my vision board. I actually bought this on Amazon a couple of years ago, maybe three years ago, maybe even four when I lived in Washington. It is a dry race type of vision board. So you can erase it and start over every single year. So I have good news and bad news. This particular vision board is no longer available on Amazon or it's currently unavailable.  The good news is that there are, there's a paper version of this vision board like the notepad style and there's also a magnetic one for your fridge. And I actually think that that's really cool, whether it goes on your fridge or a filing cabinet or really any metal surface, you still get the great vision board that's in the actual kind of wall hanging one. Now I will also link any other vision boards that I can find on Amazon that are similar. So if you are looking for the dry race style, I'll give you a few options. So all of that will be linked down below for you. We are going to fill in my vision board for 2024 here together, but before we do, let's talk about 2023. So on my vision board are all of my goals for 2023. I actually did an entire goals video last year. I'll link it down below if you're interested in seeing what my 2022 goals were versus my 2023 and kind of what evolved from those goals. But let's kind of go through the 2023 goal. I'll let you know how I did. So my focus word for 2023 was the word consistency. That was because I was in the stage in my weight loss journey and my health journey where I needed to not only be consistent with my food to finish out my weight loss and maintain that weight loss but I also wanted to become really consistent with moving my body in regular exercise. That was the perfect word for me for 2023. I couldn't have done consistency better last year in every aspect. So I'm really proud of myself for that. The next little section says thankful for. And what I put for last year was I was thankful for my health, my family and for Arizona. So I have been blessed with amazing health this last year. I've been blessed with an amazing family. If you didn't know, we did lose our lab diesel in March of 2023. So that was a pretty big blow to our family. We definitely miss him. I was just emotional about him yesterday. So it's definitely gotten better as the year has went but it's still a really sensitive subject for us. So I am, so I'm extra grateful for the family that I have. My husband, Lola and Palmer. And then as you know, we love living in Arizona. We will actually be here two years in March. That's so crazy to me. Really truly it was the best decision we could have made. We love our home. We love the community that we live in. We love that it's sunny over 300 days a year here. We love that it's warm. I mean, it's 67 today in the middle of, at the end of December. So I'm so grateful for Arizona. Truly, truly grateful that we made the decision to move. And then the next section of my vision board is things that I'm dreaming of, things that I'm manifesting. And last year I was dreaming of my next vacation as well as being my strongest self. One of the things, one of the non-scale victories for me after losing 140 pounds is being able to vacation comfortably. Not just in the plane. I mean, I can cross my legs, buckle my seatbelt and I have this much extra seatbelt but also being able to just vacation comfortably in general, walking around without being miserable at the end of the day, being able to do things that I would have never done 140 pounds ago. So for me, travel has become a very important part of my life. It was one of my main goals for 2023 and spoiler alert, it's going to continue to be a goal for me moving into 2024. And then I also wanted to become basically my strongest self, really work on my fitness. And I definitely did that in 2023. I am very consistent with going to the gym, lifting weights. I had a DEXA scan about a month ago. I did a whole video on my DEXA scan and the results of that. I'll link that video for you if you missed it. It also has updates on what am I doing? Am I still doing weight watchers? What am I doing as far as weight loss? Kind of what are my goals in that area? So I'll link that video if you missed it. But based on those results, I have become my strongest self in 2023 and I just want to carry that into the new year. And then we have a little section in the middle where we can proclaim something, not a word of the year, but just something that we really want to strive for in that year. And for me in 2023, it was to become lean and strong. Now I did technically reach what is probably the goal weight for my body in 2023, which means that I became lean. And like I said, I am my strongest self right now, my fittest self right now. And I'm really, really proud of those two things. And then at the bottom of the vision board, it gives you the option to set categories of goals or just goals in general. I like to break my goals down by category because it allows me to be a little bit more focused. So my categories for last year and what will be my categories for this year are going to be health. YouTube, if you didn't know this and nutrition and weight loss coaching is my full-time job. So basically this is my career section, my personal goals and then my coaching goals. Again, I am a weight loss and nutrition coach for almost three years now. And I always like to set specific goals when it comes to coaching and helping you guys. So first let's talk about the health section for 2023. So my first goal was to maintain my weight. Moving into 2023, I didn't have a lot of weight left to lose. So my goal was to lose that last little bit of weight and then be able to maintain that successfully through the year while gaining lean muscle, while becoming stronger. And I did just that. If you watch my weekly Friday weigh-ins, I pretty much, my weight fluctuates, I go up, I go down, but overall at the end of the year I did a fantastic job maintaining my weight. I actually am down a few pounds over the course of the year and have seamlessly maintained that. And that's really been because I eat enough. I ate enough to lose weight, I eat enough to maintain my weight, I move my body, I make healthy choices. It's really been a good year for me. And that goal, I killed it in 2023. My next goal was to work out five days per week. So my goal in 2022 was three days a week. So I wanted to bump that up, push myself a little bit for five days a week and I consistently did that. The only time that I didn't work out necessarily five days a week is when I was traveling. I still worked out. You guys know, I just went to a conference in November, I did a 5K while I was there. So I make sure when I travel that I'm still moving my body, but sometimes I can't commit to the five times a week of working out. But when I'm home, girls working out five to even six times a week. My next goal was to build lean muscle. And we talked about this with my DEXA scan, that show that indicated that I have done just that.  And that makes me so happy. My goal, losing weight was never to be skinny. I never wanted to be skinny. I wanted to lose enough weight that I can move my body, lean down enough that when I worked my booty off in the gym and built muscle, you could see it. That was my goal from the get go. And that is the goal that I achieved and that I'm continuing with in the new year. And then lastly, I wanted to be a little bit more whole food focused. Now I feel like I was 75, 25 with this. I didn't do as well as I wanted to do starting out the year, but that is going to be a goal just in a little bit different way for me moving into the new year because I really have some, like I said, lofty fitness and health and body goals that I'm going to need to really focus more on whole food. So I'm shooting for more like a 95% in 2024. Now the next category is my career category, which again for me is YouTube and coaching. So on my main channel here, which used to be Jen's WW journey, I did change it this last year to Jen Clayton for multiple reasons. My goal here on Jen Clayton in 2023 was to reach 60,000 subscribers. Unfortunately, I didn't quite get there. I'm sitting right about 55,000. So I'm pretty far off of the goal that I set for myself. I really thought with the success that I've had with weight loss, all of the great tidbits that I have to share on my journey and helping you and helping you, I thought that I would be able to reach the 60,000. And unfortunately, I didn't quite make it. So I'm really hoping for my channel to maybe grow a little bit more this next year. I'm not sure exactly what I need to do to make it grow more, but I'm really going to focus on the growth here on Jen Clayton. And then I also have a nutrition channel called Jen Clayton Nutrition. That channel is specific to nutrition. We talk all about diet culture. We talk all about how to lose weight in a sustainable way. We debunk diet myths. It's a really great educational channel that actually pairs perfectly with this one. So if you're interested in more nutrition based content, I highly recommend Jen Clayton Nutrition. And my goal for 2023 was to reach 8,000 subscribers on that channel and I did it. I actually am just under 8,100 as of today. And I'm so grateful for that. I'm so grateful that that channel has grown. And in fact, so many of you have left me comments saying you love that channel, that it's really helped you and that is exactly why I do it. So I'm really happy to say that I was able to reach my goal on my nutrition channel. And lastly, I have a beauty channel. Now I love makeup, I love skincare, I love hair, I love anything in the beauty industry. I used to talk about that a little bit more here on this channel, but I really wanted to focus this channel on health and weight loss. So I started my beauty channel about a year and a half ago. It is called Budget Beauty and I love it. It's such a fun channel for me. It's just all of my passion with beauty and skincare that I can make videos on and you guys seem to really love it as well.  But my goal for that channel was to hit 6,000 subscribers. And in last year's video, I said that was a really, really, really, really lofty goal. Like, most likely wasn't gonna happen and it didn't happen. I am just over 4,000 subscribers on that channel, which I'm grateful for every single one of those. So I knew setting that goal maybe a little bit out of reach and it was. So I'm going to set a little bit more reasonable goal this year, still a goal that I really have to strive for but a reasonable goal. So if you love this channel, I would really love and appreciate your support on both Gem Clayton Nutrition and Budget Beauty. I'll have both my other channels down below for you. Help me reach my goals in the new year. And of course, if you didn't know, there is an option to share either YouTube videos or YouTube channels. There's a little share button right under the video. If you know somebody on a health journey, a weight loss journey that would love nutrition or makeup content, please share my channel. It would really mean a lot to me. And like I said, help me grow a little bit more in the new year. And you know that on this channel, whenever I hit a big milestone of subscribers, we do a huge giveaway and that will continue into 2024 as well. Now the next category is my personal category. And the first thing in bold big letters was travel. Like I said, that has been a goal since I've lost my weight. I can travel a lot easier and it's just much more enjoyable. So I definitely traveled in 2023. I took several trips. There were months that I was taking a trip every single month. It was pretty back to back through the year. I went to Hawaii. I went to Texas, San Diego, New Orleans. I had an amazing year of travel and I can't wait to do more in the new year. My next personal goal was financial related and that was to double my savings account. Now we didn't quite double our savings account but we grew our savings account and I'm so grateful for that. I definitely want to take our finances to a different level in the new year. And so that's gonna be one of my goals when it comes to personal and finances. But I'm so thankful that we were able to grow our savings account throughout 2023. The next goal was to be more involved in the community. Now I definitely didn't do as well at this as I wanted to do. I didn't really make a big effort to find ways to be involved in the community, mainly because of lack of time. I work a lot. The time that it takes me to film these videos on and to manage three channels as well as coaching is a lot. It doesn't leave a lot of extra time outside of working out for me to do other things. Now I still have this as a goal. I still would like to become a little bit more involved in the community but because I'm part of a community bootcamp I also joined a weightlifting gym. I'm meeting more people in my community which I'm hoping will lead to more community focused things. We did sponsor a family for Christmas this year in my bootcamp group. Give back to the community whenever I can but it's still a goal for me in the new year. This one I utterly failed at and now my goal was to only purchase two eyeshadow palettes per month. Now outside of what comes in the beauty subscription boxes that I pay and subscribe to every month just what I'm purchasing out of pocket I wanted to limit that to two per month. That didn't happen, that didn't happen. I just did a ranking all of the palettes that I tried in 2023 and I did, I had over a hundred. So now granted I didn't buy all of those. A lot of those came in subscription boxes but I did buy a lot of them. Definitely way outside of the two palettes per month. Clearly that's not reasonable for me. Eyeshadow palettes are my favorite makeup along with highlight. Those are my favorite makeup products and it's just really hard for me not to buy things that excite me. So that goal, that's the one goal I utterly failed at but really, really I'm not mad about it. Moving over into the last category of goals for last year what for 2023 was coaching goals. So I started all access coaching in 2023 and basically what that is is you have access to me 24 hours a day 365 days a year, you check in with me weekly I help you with workouts, with dieting, with setting macro goals. It's basically a very involved one-on-one style of coaching more than just a call. Just an all access, all well rounded coaching. My goal last year was to have 10 all access clients. Now I still have all access coaching clients but I've kind of moved away from that a little bit for multiple reasons and I'll talk a little bit more about that in 2024 schools but I feel like overall all access coaching went really well. It is still a service that I offer and the information is in my Facebook group if you're interested or leave me a comment down below and I can chat with you about all access coaching for the new year if you're interested.  The ones that had that support killed it. So I am still offering it. I'm just not setting a number of client goal. And my last coaching goal was to create a Macros 101 ebook. Now I kind of shifted away from this goal this last year and instead of doing an ebook I actually offered a Macros 101 course. It was for six weeks and we deep dove into Macros. I offered that course twice last year and it was amazing both times. We had a huge, huge, huge turnout. It basically was a course over the, it was a course of six sessions, six weeks on Zoom where we talked all through Macros and how to use Macros to reach your weight loss goals. I will 100% be doing that course once if not twice in the new year. I do talk about that course in my Facebook group. So definitely join us if you're not part of it. That's really where I share all of these exciting opportunities for you and really where you can keep up with me more day to day. Facebook and Instagram are the key places to be to spend a little bit more time with me throughout the year. So those were my 2023 goals. Overall, I'm really proud of myself for what I did in 2023. I met most of my goals. I mean, there were a couple that I felt a little bit short of. Some I have control over, some I don't. But I'm really proud of myself for what I did last year and I'm really, really excited for my 2024 goals. I have to be your biggest fan and when things are really tough and they're really rough and nothing's working, but there's something inside of you that says, I just have to follow that because you don't know who you are. So with that being said, let's jump into what I'm planning for 2024. I don't know if you can see how excited I am. I'm really, really, really truly excited for this new year. So let's start with my 2024 word of the year. Now, this is one that I really thought long and hard about. I wanted something that was more about my life, my lifestyle rather than just specific to health or fitness or weight loss. I wanted it to be more about my life and the word that I chose is definitely what I wanna do in 2024. And that is the word elevate. My word of the year is elevate. Elevate every aspect of my life. My business, my health, my fitness, my family, my finances, everything. I want to just elevate myself in 2024. That word, it kinda gives me goosebumps because it is just all-encompassing of my goals for the new year. Now, the things that I'm thankful for really haven't changed. I mean, obviously I'm still thankful for my family. One thing I'm thankful for is you guys, is my community here on YouTube, my Facebook group, my Instagram. You guys are so amazing. I am so blessed, beyond blessed, to have such a supportive, positive, just overwhelmingly beautiful community. And I am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you. Really, truly thankful. And I'm also thankful for my friends. I'm really thankful for the friends that I built here in Arizona. That was something I was really scared about moving here, knowing absolutely no one with the exception of my in-laws. And I've been able to grow and cultivate some amazing friends here. And I'm so thankful for them because they keep me going. They help me with my health journey. They bring me so much joy outside of my family that I just, I'm so incredibly blessed.  I just have so much to be thankful for. And then moving over to what I'm dreaming of in 2024. This was hard for me this year. I feel like I'm dreaming of the same things all the time. I'm always wanting a new vacation. I'm always wanting my next trip. I'm always wanting to be my strongest, leanest self. But what I decided on for this category for 2024 is I'm dreaming of growth. Growth in all aspects of my life, kind of along the same lines as choosing elevate is my word of the year. I really want to grow. I want to grow in my fitness journey. I want to grow in my family. I want to grow with my community. I want to grow with you here on YouTube and in Facebook and on Instagram. And I want to just grow and become my true authentic self through 2024. Just the term growth is all that I'm dreaming of for the new year. And then right smack in the middle of my vision board. Really my focus for 2024 is the two Fs, food and fitness. That's really where I'm going to be putting a lot of energy in the new year is just embarking on both a food journey. And we'll talk about this a little bit more in depth with my goals and a fitness journey as well. So let's jump right into my goals. Let's jump into the first category which are my health goals. Goal number one, similar to last year is my goal this year is to maintain my weight. I want to have another 12 month period, another year under my belt of maintenance. I truly feel that if I can maintain my weight for another year, then everything that I've worked towards healing my relationship with food, working on my fitness, moving my body, drinking my water, focusing on real whole food is all worth it. It our end goal when we lose weight is not to gain it all back. We don't want to be on the diet, culture, diet cycle over and over. Our goal is to lose the weight and keep it off. And if I can maintain my weight for another year, I feel like I have all the tools in place to maintain my weight life long. And that is the ultimate goal. I can't wait to go into this year and complete this year with another full 12 months of maintenance. My second health goal is lean muscle. So this is where I have some news to share a little bit of an announcement. You know that I hired a fitness coach about three months ago and we have decided that starting January one. So tomorrow I'm going to go into anywhere from about an eight week to a 12 week cut. Basically what this means is being in a calorie deficit again. As you know, I've been really working towards just maintenance calories, being able to maintain my weight. But I really want to go into this cut at the beginning of the year to see what I can do with this body. Am I able to shed a little bit more fat? Am I able to lean down a little bit more? So when I go back into maintenance in eight to 12 weeks, I can really build that lean muscle and become stronger than ever. Leaner, stronger, healthier than ever. So with my cut, I will be going back into a calorie deficit, a mild calorie deficit. And the ultimate goal of this eight to 12 week period is to shed as much excess fat as possible.  I mean, I do have a little bit that I could lose maybe five pounds, maybe seven pounds, 10 pounds. We'll just kind of see what the cut does. So with my cut, I have a very specific diet. I have specific macros that I'm trying to reach. I have specific foods that I'm trying to, that I need to focus on, which are mainly whole real food. There's not a lot of processed foods. There's not a lot of snacky foods, sweet treats and things like that in my eight to 12 week cut. I do still get one treat meal per week. So I am able to still go out to dinner. And that includes an appetizer and entree and a dessert if I choose. So I'm still going to be living a normal life, a normal lifestyle, but on the day today, I'm going to try to be in a minor deficit to see what this body can do in the next eight to 12 weeks. Really focus on getting into the gym for cardio, really focus on getting into the gym for strength training and seeing what I can cut from my body over that period. Now we are not meant to be in a calorie deficit forever. There should be moments that you go to maintenance even if you're trying to lose weight. There should be cut periods and there should be maintenance periods. This is something I want to focus on with my coaching clients as well in the new year is taking them out of a deficit constantly and allowing their body a chance for maintenance and a chance to boost metabolism back up. So when we go into a cut, you're really successful. And that's what I've been doing is maintaining working on firing up my metabolism. So when I do cut tomorrow and for eight to 12 weeks my metabolism is working at its fullest peak which should give me the best results in the cut. And as weird as it sounds, I'm actually really excited about it. I mean, who's excited to be in a cut in a calorie deficit? Me because I want to see what my body can do in the next eight to 12 weeks. I'm really, really excited about it. And after those eight to 12 weeks I'll go back into maintenance and then there's a possibility that I may cut again at the end of the year. Like I said, that should be the cycle where you're in a deficit and you're not in a deficit. You're in a deficit and you're not in a deficit. That is a healthy way to lose weight and maintain your weight loss. So I have a cut coming up, stay tuned. You'll be hearing all about it in my weigh-in videos on Fridays. You'll see what I'm eating and what I eat in a day videos, what supplements I'm taking and how I'm navigating the next eight to 12 weeks that I'm really excited about. Now I could go on and on about my cut. If you guys are interested in a whole video of how I'm navigating a cut and exactly what that means, let me know in the comments and I can definitely film that video for you. My next health goal is to be out in nature more. I live in the most beautiful place. It's beautiful here. The weather is beautiful. The cacti are beautiful. There's mountains everywhere. There is so many amazing hikes in this area. There is a place called Madeira Canyon that is literally 10 minutes from me that has the most amazing hikes. I've been told that when you're there you feel like you're in the Pacific Northwest which is where we moved from versus the desert. And I have never hiked there. I've never taken a hike there. So my goal in 2024 is to be out in nature more. I plan on hiking to Mamak Hillmore. I want to do Picachu Peak again. I want to do Madeira Canyon. There's Mount Lemmon which is about an hour away. I would love to make my way into Apache Junction and hike Superstition Mountain which was my dad's favorite place before he passed away. I just want to be in nature more. I want to take advantage of living in the desert in a warm climate in 2024. And lastly for health I'm really going to focus on the 80-20 rule. Last year I said whole food focus. This year I'm setting numbers to that. 80% whole real food, 20% fun food. This is outside of my cut. So this is when I'm back into maintenance.  I'm never going to diet again. I'm never going to be in diet culture again. Never, ever, ever going to do that again. I'm going to do what's sustainable. And that means having an 80-20 approach to my diet. 80% on track, whole real food, 20% a treat meal every week where I have an appetizer, dessert and a fun meal like a burger or pizza or whatever sounds good. Honest I know I do not track my treat meal every week. So it's in addition to the calories that I normally consume. So I'm going to really focus on 80-20. Again, you guys will hear a lot about that in my upcoming videos. Now moving into my YouTube goals. I still wanted to set myself some pretty lofty goals for all three of my channels but I wanted to be able to attain these goals maybe a little bit easier than last year. As you know, I fell short on two out of the three YouTube goals that I have. And unfortunately with YouTube, you don't have control over these goals. So I don't have control on whether I reach my YouTube goals but I can still set myself achievable goals but challenging goals. So here on Gen Clayton, my goal is to hit 70,000 subscribers. Basically meaning that I would need to gain about 15,000 subscribers over the course of the year. Now I think that that is attainable but I also think that that's a little bit of a stretch which is what goals should be. They should be something we have to really work for but also something that's attainable so that we're not setting ourselves up for failure right out of the gate. So 70,000 subs for 2024. And over on Gen Clayton Nutrition, I would love to hit 10,000. That's a huge, huge milestone. That would mean that I would need to gain about 2,000 subscribers over the course of the year. I definitely think that's attainable since I was able to hit my 2023 goal on my Gen Clayton Nutrition channel. And then with my Budget Beauty channel, I thought long and hard about this and I'm going to carry over my goal from last year. My 6,000 subscriber goal which would be a couple thousand subscriber gain in 2024. And I knew setting that goal for last year like I said was pretty out of reach but I think I can do it this year. And again, share my channels. It really means a lot to me if you subscribe, please make sure you're subscribed to my nutrition channel, my beauty channel and share them with anybody who you think would enjoy my content. So I'm stretching myself a little bit again because I don't have control over that but I'm hoping to put out the best content ever in 2024 where people are just gonna have to subscribe to those channels. And one other career related thing when it comes to my YouTube channels is I would like to work with more sponsored content. Basically meaning paid videos. This is how I make an income. This is how I support my family. This is how I live in this house is the content that I provide on YouTube. And I've also shared multiple times that YouTube itself does not pay very much. I don't make a lot of money on YouTube where I can actually make an income outside of my coaching business is it was sponsored content. So I want to work with more brands that I love this next year. I want to find new brands, new products that I love and be able to share that with you. Sponsor content is not only how I support my bills and how I support myself and my family but it's also how I can continue to put out content here for you. So I appreciate you understanding that sponsored content is what every single creator strives for and what every single creator relies on for income. So I'd like to do a little bit more than I did this last year but only working with brands and products that I truly, truly love. Now moving into personal goals. I have a big personal goal. We talked about my eyeshadow palette goal from last year, how I did not reach that goal. One of my main goals for 2024 in all aspects of my life is to lower overall consumption. Lower just random things that I'm purchasing. I don't need anything. I don't need anything. I need to work through number one all of the makeup that I have and skincare that I have. This closet back here is full of backup skincare and makeup. Before I buy any new makeup and skincare I need to use what I have and that goes with all of the other things in my home. I'm definitely a stalker upper. I like to buy things in bulk. I like to always have things on hand but what, but that becomes out of control sometimes. I can't tell you how many bath and body work solutions that I have. I need to work through what I have and that is a big, big, big goal for me in 2024 is to consume less overall. Really, really work through what I have and then obviously when I run out of product I'll repurchase but I'm not going to over consume. I am not going to over consume. I'm keeping traveling on my list of personal goals. Now I don't know if I'll be traveling as much this year as I did last year. One other thing is my other sweet dog Lola, my baby, my bestie was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer in 2023. It was a rough few months in 2023. She went through a five month round of chemo and she's doing amazing, amazing. Knock on wood. She's been in remission now for over eight months. She's healthy, she's happy but I don't know what's gonna happen in 2024. So although I have a few trips planned, I have a trip in February, March and then I am going to Hawaii in November and there's one other trip that I'll be taking in October to a conference. I'm trying to leave it a little more open because my priority is her. No matter what my priority is her, not only for her health but I just wanna spend as much time with her as I can. She's almost 12 years old and like I said, she's my best friend. I love her with every fiber of my soul and I just wanna really focus on her this next year. I still want to travel but I'm going to make her my priority. My next personal goal and this is a big one and this is to stop working at 3 p.m. every single day.  That is my goal. I spend a lot of time creating content. I could work 15, 16 hours a day if I let myself and I need to focus more on me in 2024 just on my overall health and happiness and like I said, my family is a goal this year. Lola is a goal this year. I wanna do more things with Troy. I wanna have more date nights. I wanna go out to dinner more. I want to take our dogs for short walks together. I wanna focus on him and helping him navigate his health issues as well so I'm going to stop working every day in 2024 at 3 p.m. my time. And lastly for personal goals. Last year I talked about my savings account. This year, we are setting up financial planning. We are going to meet with an investor. We're going to talk about retirement. We're going to set up retirement accounts. We're going to place our money in accounts that will benefit us as we continue to age. Troy turned 50 in 2023 and it kind of lit a fire under us to really focus on financial planning. So we have an appointment to meet with a financial planner and that's going to be a big goal for us. If you guys are interested in hearing about maybe our financial planning journey, let me know. I'd be happy to incorporate that into a video as well. And last but not least is coaching. So this is the other side of my business is coaching. I am a weight loss and nutrition coach. Like I said, I've been a weight loss and nutrition coach for almost three years. And part of my goals for 2024 is to really focus on group coaching. So my first group coaching starts January 7th. So it is not too late for you to join if you're interested. This is a six week course. We're going to have a focus or a topic to discuss each week. And the rest of the time is for you to get coaching, for you to ask your questions for me to help you navigate your weight loss journey, whether it's weight watchers or macros and calories or whatever you're doing for weight loss. It's your chance to have coaching with me directly for a much more affordable price. About half of what it costs for individual one-on-one coaching. So I would love to do more group coaching sessions in 2024, more six week sessions. But like I said, it's not too late to sign up for the current one. I'll have all the information in the description box. There's also a post on my Facebook group and a post on the community tab here on YouTube discussing group coaching and laying it all out, letting you know what the cost is and how it works. So my focus for this year is 100% group coaching because it's an affordable way for me to help you reach your goals. And then I'm really excited about my other coaching goal. Really excited. I know you guys are going to be excited about this as well. And that is to create a protein ebook. I'm so excited about this. I already have all these things roaming around in my head of what I wanna put in this ebook, but I wanna focus it on everything protein, protein recipes, protein supplements, how I get in my protein every day. Really, truly just everything in anything protein related, mainly focusing on recipes. How, what types of recipes can you create? How can you build meals to reach your protein goal? This is the number one question I get asked from my coaching clients is, I have a hard time reaching my protein goal help me. So that's what I'm going to do this year. I want to really spend time on this ebook. So I'm imagining that it will come out mid-year. I wanna make it beautiful and easy to navigate through and just comprehensive everything and all things protein because spoiler alert, how you lose weight and keep it off is calories and protein. So I really want to focus on giving you protein resources in the new year. I'm really excited for this. Really, really excited and by creating it in the form of an ebook that you can download, that you can print off, that you can even have spiral bound on a printing store is the most affordable way for me to get you the information and for you to utilize it to reach your goals. I really want to help as many people as I can in the new year. And I know that focusing on protein recipes and how getting in your protein, how to get in your protein is really going to help you. And like I said, that's what makes me happy. That's what fills my heart with joy is coaching. So I can't wait for group coaching in my protein ebook. So those are my 2024 goals. I am really excited, really excited for the new year. I have a good feeling it's going to be a really good year. I'm excited for my cut. I'm excited for my ebook. I'm excited for group coaching. I'm excited to travel and just really focus on my family and my community and fitness and food. I can't wait. It's going to be a really, really good year.

The Research Master in Law is a very broad aimed programme that goes beyond the classical approach to law and includes different disciplinary perspectives such as economics, psychology, sociology, history, etc. I like the programme in Tuber University because it offers you everything that you need to develop yourself and develop your research skills. For instance, as we can see, we are in the student room for Research Master. So we are offered a lot of facilities to increase and help us out, develop our research skills and academic skills in a deeper level. The uniqueness of this programme is based on the top position that Tuber Law School already has in working with research methods. They are ahead, I would say, in many ways in that. What I like most about the programme is that the programme is very small, it's very individual. The students are really a student and not a number. The professors and student relationship goes really smoothly in Tuber University and the whole environment is really a help to breed knowledge and create knowledge. What I also like is the cooperation with Leuven University. I think that's a real benefit to this whole programme. When you come to develop your research skills, the programme offers you all sorts of equipment and equipment and the best professors in the field. The students that have completed this programme go to different kinds of employers, but the main denominator is that these organisations think it's important to establish their policies or law or measures on evidence. The students that will choose the research master programme are students that think outside the box. They are students that really go in an analytical perspective, but also they are students that like to combine research and academic skills into a professional environment.

Radio's outstanding theatre of thrills is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those better tasting California wines enjoyed by more Americans than any other wine, for friendly entertaining, for delightful dining. Yes, right now a glassful would be very pleasant as Roma Wines bring you Chester Morris in a remarkable tale of... SUSPENSE! I saw it once in a mirror in a police emergency hospital. I never saw it again. When they sent me up I smashed the mirror in my cell the first day. They never dared to put in another. The chaplain came and tried to talk to me about it a few times and then a prison medic. But I turned over in my bunk and didn't answer. After a while they stopped coming. Three and a half years.  And wake up crying I was so happy. And then put up my hand in the dark to feel and... I know that it was. It would always be. Three and a half years. Waiting and hating. Waiting to get out and hating one guy in particular and everybody in general. Waiting and hating. There was a cold windy day in November the day I left. The guard opened the gate and gave me the usual corny send off. Well Mr. Malone I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Carlos up make a reservation any time. I went on through and didn't answer. I didn't even look at it. For three and a half years I hadn't looked at anybody. I didn't want anybody looking at me and I didn't look at anybody else. My coat collar was pulled up and my hat pulled down. And I walked towards the river to the little park there and hung around waiting for it to get dark. I knew what I was doing all right. I was going to kill a man. But first I was waiting for it to get dark. When it was I went up into town and caught a train for New York that got me into Grand Central about 815. In the station I went to a phone booth and called Sam Braggen. Then I went down there.  A good dark street. Dark hallway too. Dark stairs. The third floor. Dark. Hello Sam. Oh Johnny you old son of a gun. Hello Sam. Well what are you standing there for? Come on in come on. Wait let me turn on the light. All right Sam you might as well see it now as later. I shouldn't have hit him but I couldn't stop myself when I saw that look of horror and pity. But I knew I'd always see from now on when anybody saw my face. My awful scarred twisted nightmare of a face. My face. I closed the door and got Sam into the front room and onto the couch. And then I got the phone and called Fran's old number because I couldn't stop myself from that either. Is Miss Thompson there? Miss Frances Thompson? No she ain't. Well is her mother there? No they gone away. Do you know where I can get in touch with them? No I don't. Well do you know if they're coming back sometime? I hadn't expected anything different. I don't know why it should have made me so mad. When I turned around Sam was just beginning to come out of it over on the couch. Yeah remember? You had no call to do that Johnny. I know. I'm sorry.  I said I'm sorry. I uh... I guess I've been so long where I wanted to and couldn't that I took out the whole three and a half years on the first guy I could. I'm sorry. I'm sorry too Johnny. What about it? Turn out the lights Sam. Sure. Thanks. Where's Fran? Fran? You remember Fran? Oh yeah yeah. You and her... Where is she? Gee Johnny I don't know. Oh no don't kid me she's with Gordy Fitzroy. Isn't she? Isn't she? I swear Johnny I swear I don't know what Fran's been doing. I ain't hurt nothing of Fran for a couple of years. Alright. Alright I'll find out. Didn't she come to see you up there? Yeah. Yeah at first she did. But I didn't see her. They got lights on you when you see people up there Sam. I only want to see Fran in the dark. Yeah sure. Where's Gordy Fitzroy? I don't know Johnny. He's still around isn't he? Oh sure sure I hear he's got another place uptown. Yeah I bet. What's the angle Johnny? You sure you didn't hear nothing? To tell you the truth Johnny it was so long since she was in touch. I heard you got a three to five and that's about all. Okay. I'll tell you the rest. Is it how that happened? Yeah it's how that happened. You remember the gang around here in the old days you, Sam, Gordy Fitzroy and Fran and me that always ran together when we were kids and then Fran went to City College and I got into a little trouble and Gordy inherited that jewelry store from his uncle. You remember all that? Oh sure I remember. You were all good kids. Yeah well it was about a year after the last time I saw you. Gordy was having trouble. He owed a lot of dough to the bookies and had to hawk his jewelry store to pay off. And then he had a bright idea. Gordy did? Yeah. He had about 10 or 15 grand worth of assorted rocks in his safe at the store. We were going to crack it and pedal the rocks and collect the insurance too. Split. 50-50. Yeah. I was going to do the job but I made him come with me. And of course we had to blow the safe to make it look right. Yeah yeah sure. Well something went wrong. I used too much soup or something and it blew in my face. In my face. Oh so that's how. Yeah. Only that wasn't all. When I came out of it Gordy was still there but he'd ratted on me to save his own skin. There were cops all over the place and Gordy was telling him how he'd caught me and the act of blowing his safe and knocked me cold or something. And the cops couldn't make up their minds between patting him on the back and kicking me in the belly. We're doing plenty of both. Oh he was quite a little hero there Gordy was. He did that. He did better than that. He even testified at my trial. Even Fran believed him I guess. She said she didn't but I don't know. So I got three to five and lucky that. I was all bandages then. I didn't know how bad it really was till after the trial. And then.  I only saw it once Sam. I never dared look at it again. Gee. What are you going to do Johnny? What do you think? Yeah but look that's bad Johnny why they pin it on you before you got off of the subway. Not the way I'm going to do it. You got a way to do it? Yeah. I got a way.

And now Roma Wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Chester Morris as Johnny Malone in the strange death of Gordon Fitzroy. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. Sam was always a good G. He let me shack up there and he helped me out. He found out where Gordy Fitzroy lived alone in a little house on Long Island and how he always caught the same train that got him out there about 10.30 every night. He made the contact with a guy that was going to fix me up the package too. It was about a week later that I went around to collect it. It was a little basement watch repair shop off Avenue C. At least that was the guy's front. He was a dried up little guy with thick glasses and he was working over some kind of a clock. You want something? I'm Pete Jones. Pete Jones? Yeah. You got something for me, haven't you? I don't know. I'd have to look. Sam Bragan sent me. I don't know no Sam Bragan. I don't go by names in here. Well what do you go by? I just remember. Well start remembering. Let me take a look at you. I said I'm Pete Jones. Okay. I guess you're the guy. Where do I put up the sign? What sign? We got it going back. I don't want no one coming in while we're going. Come on. Where is it? You're looking at it. That suitcase. Well open it up. I want to see it. That suitcase ain't made to be opened up no more, bud. Okay. How do you work it? You see the slide and that snap lock? Yeah. You push it just once. When you do that, it's time to blow in three hours. What'll it do? Like the atom bomb, bud. Like the atom bomb. Listen, you ain't mixed up in any kind of politics, are you? Like that Christian front gang or anything? No. Because I don't do that kind of work. It's dangerous. This is strictly business, personal. Okay. You know what this job is going to cost you? One C was what I was told. No. Two C's. Is that the way you always do business? The materials are going up. Well, I'll give you one and a half and a working over. How well it be? I'll take the one and a half. Three hours, you said. Yeah. Three hours. Well, here's your dough. And this thing better work right. If it don't give satisfaction, wise guy, bring it back. Three hours would give me plenty of time. I went out to Gordy Fitzroy's house in Long Island the next night. About 9.30 an hour before he'd get home. The place was dark like it should have been. I went around back where there was a kitchen window. I jimmied it and stepped inside with my suitcase full of trouble. For a minute I stood and listened and almost thought I heard something. Nerves, I guess. Imagination. Upstairs under his bed would be the best place. But first I wanted to set it. I put my flash on the slide lock and pushed it like the guy had said. But it wouldn't move. I tried again. And it moved the wrong way. It must have got pushed by mistake earlier sometime. And then I heard the buzzing sound it was making. I gave a while look around and saw a space behind the stove and threw it in there and started for the window. I was about halfway out when I felt the blast and something hit me in the face and that was all I... It was funny, but I came to sitting in a chair. Just sitting there in a room I'd never seen before. It was dark, just a little light coming in from the street. And then I looked around a little and saw the bed. I knew it must be a hospital. And I remembered. But it couldn't have been too bad. They couldn't have to operate or I'd be in bed and feeling sick. But there I was just sitting in one of those hospital nightshirts and bathrobes. Just sitting. And then the door opened. A doctor and a nurse. We just have to keep trying, that's all. Well, how's the patient this evening? Don't turn on the lights, Doc. Well... What's that you said? I said don't turn on the lights. I like it better in the dark. How did you know I was your doctor? I guessed. You are, aren't you? Yes, yes, yes. How am I? You seem to be fine now. The bulls outside? Who? Coppers. Police. Oh, the police. They were here, but they're not around anymore. You got tired, huh? Yes, I guess they did. Thanks for telling me. Well, it's nice to see you feeling so well. I'll drop by in the morning. We'll have a long talk. Oh, yeah, sure, in the morning. There were socks and shirts in the bureau.  They weren't mine, but what did I care? Because the cops must have quit watching me for the night, and that meant I could break out of here. There was no time for any fancy suitcase jobs now.  I put on the duds and got out into the hall and down a back stairway and out through the basement without anybody even seeing me. I knew where I could get a gun, and I got it. And then... then all of a sudden I was thinking about Fran. I knew I was washed up. I knew they'd get me for what I was going to do to Gordy, but before that I wanted to see her. I just wanted to see her. I took a chance that the old dame on the phone might have been brushing me off the other night, and I went to a booze and dialed a number. Fran, it's Johnny. Johnny Malone. Johnny! Yeah, me too. Are you out? Fran, I... I want to see you. I want to see you the worst way. But did you know what happened? Yes, Johnny, I know. No, I mean all of it. How bad it was? He did. Didn't you get my letters? Yeah, I got them, but I tore them up. Why? Because I didn't want to know what was in them, maybe. Because I didn't want to even think about you after what happened. When they stopped coming. I joined the Red... You sure you want to see me, Fran? Of course I do. No, it's too bright there, Fran, too much light. All right, where? Down on your corner, Hudson Street. Ten minutes. I waited in the shadows, in the doorway. My heart seemed to be going crazy, and I could hardly breathe. I forgot all about Gordy Fitzroy and what I was going to do. Maybe something could be worked out. Maybe Fran and I could... somehow. And then I heard her coming down the street. I looked. It was her all right. I was scared, you know. I just waited where I was, trying to get my breath. She got to the corner and looked around. And then she stood there for a minute under the streetlight. And I walked up and went up behind her. I laid my hand on her arm. That's all, just laid my hand on her arm. And she whirled around and looked at me, full in the face. Get away from me! Get away! Get away! Get away! I ran. I just ran. I was so torn up inside, I didn't know what I felt. There were tears dripping out of my twisted eye sockets. And then... Then I stopped. All right? She lied to me. She didn't know what had happened, and she didn't care. And when she saw it, she was like all the rest. All right? And if she could dish it out that way, she could take it that way. I wasn't going to leave her behind either. I went around the block and back to her house. I went up the steps and into the vestibule. It was dark in there. Good and dark. I waited. It was nearly half an hour before I heard her coming up the steps. Oh, friend. Johnny, why are you hiding here in the dark? Why did you do it? Why didn't you never even show up? Cut it out! You had your chance, friend. And now it's... This! I ran out on the street, pulled the valley to the courtyard of the building next door and over the fence and through another alley. I was on the next street. There was a cab coming and I hailed him. Just drive up town. I'll tell you where later. The next on the list was Gordon Fitzroy. There was no use calling the house on Long Island. I know I'd blown that sky high. But I had to find him before morning. I... I tried to think. There must be somebody who'd know where he was. Staying in town now, probably. A cabbie. Sure. One of the cabbies up around where his store was ought to know. I tapped on the glass behind the driver. He slid it back without looking around. You know where you want to go now? Listen, his... Is there a cab stand up around 53rd and Lex? Sure is. That's where I want to go. Okay. You're taking me right home. Yeah. That's your stand? Sure. I just happened to get a fare down here tonight. Well, and maybe you're just the guy I want to talk to. Me? By what? There's a jewelry store up around there named Fitzroy's. Yeah, that's right. Gordon Fitzroy. Yeah, an old pal of mine. You know him? Yeah. I've drove him a few times. You don't know where I can get hold of him, do you? I mean, where he's living now? No, I don't, but... I tell you the truth, I ain't seen him around lately. I think his partner runs a business mostly now. Oh, he's got a partner, huh? Oh, yeah. Know his name? Uh, let me see now. It's right on his store there. It begins with a Z. A Zellman. That's a Zellman. Face named Fred, I think. Wait for me. Mr. Zellman? I'm sorry to bother you this time of night, Mr. Zellman, but I'm an old pal of Gordon Fitzroy. I've been trying to find him, but his house in Long Island doesn't answer. Could you tell me where he is? Well, he's had an accident. An accident? He's in the hospital. Oh, gee, that's too bad. I'd like to see him, though. What hospital is he in? Jefferson Hospital, room 508. The Jefferson Hospital. Thanks. The Jefferson Hospital. I got it now. Well, that was the hospital I'd been in. I was almost sure. So, Gordy had been in his house when I blew it. And they'd taken us both there. Why else would he have had an accident just the same time as me? Maybe he was right on the same floor all the time. Maybe right in the next room to mine. Just so he was still alive, that's all. Because now I wanted to give it to him face to face. Jefferson Hospital was way out in Long Island, and I knew I wouldn't be able to pay the fare, but that didn't worry me. When we got there, I just stepped out of the cab with a gun in my hand. You want me to wait? No, no, I'll beat it. What about my fare? This is your fare. What is this, a stick? Hey, it's nothing. I'm nobody. I'll beat it. I got in through the basement just like I'd got out. I went up the same stairs. I remembered now. Five flights. The same floor. Only this time there was an old dame, a nurse sitting there at the desk. I had my gun out and down at my side before I even spoke to her. Well, where did you come from? I want to see the guy in 508. I'm sorry, but visiting hours... I know all about that. Take me to 508. You wouldn't? Yes, I would, Sister, and I'll get moving. I went down the hall. In 508 she stopped. But I poked her with a rod. Oh, please don't. She opened the door ahead of me. It was a room just like mine, but it was dark. Just a little streetlight coming in the window. Oh, please don't. I made her move inside. And then I slugged her. I looked around. I couldn't see much yet, but the bed was empty. I moved on into the room. And then I saw him. Standing in a door.  He was dressed. He had a gun in his hand. I fired, but nothing happened. It was glass, glass. Somebody had snapped on the light. I whirled around, looking for him. And then I saw him. But in a mirror, it was me. Me with his face. His face! They must have come up behind me. I didn't even remember. I was in bed and half-doped, and the room was full of medics and cops. But I knew. Gordy and me had both been in that house. Only the way he got it, they couldn't even find him. Only me. And they thought I was Gordy.  And Fran had believed me. That's why she screamed at me. Because she thought I was Gordy, and she knew what he'd done to me. Oh, I knew. Without even hearing them talking in their low voices, they're beside my bed. I knew. Apparently the shock, the explosion and all was just too much for him. Yes, he was here for 21 months while we rebuilt his face. You know, he never spoke a word until today. Well, he's due for another shock now. He's wanted for murder. I never even told him who I really was. What was the use? Suspense! Presented by Roma Wines, our America's favorite wines. This is Ken Niles bringing back to our Suspense microphone the star of the evening, Chester Morris. Tell me, Chester, after so convincing a performance as a first-rate heel, don't you find it difficult to resume being the really nice guy we know you are? Not at all, Ken. You know, I just whisper, abra, cadabra, and the villain in me disappeared. Well, I might have known since you're one of Hollywood's most accomplished amateur magicians. Thank you. Would you make me disappear if I asked? How's tricks? Now, Ken, I'd like to, but I don't know any tricks that good. Well, Chester, here's a trick you ought to know. What's that? It's a trick in taste magic, and the only props you need are glasses and delicious Roma California sherry. Then, when guests drop in, you simply pour and presto hospitality reigns. Well, that's a trick anyone can master, Ken, with Roma sherry. Right, Chester, for Roma sherry the popular first call for dinner. That's because Roma sherry is better tasting. In fact, all Roma wines taste better. Because Roma starts with choicest grapes skillfully and unhurriedly guiding this grape treasure, with America's finest winemaking resources, to tempting taste perfection. Then, at the moment of peak taste richness, Roma selects from the world's greatest wine reserves for your pleasure. No wonder more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. Well, you're right, Ken, no wonder. And Chester, so you may practice this taste magic at home and delight your guests, here from Roma is a gift basket of Roma wines.

Wonderful, and what kind of a story will Bob do, Ken? Well, it'll be a suspense play that involves him in a Christmas story with some of the eeriest and most inexplicable twists imaginable. It'll take all the magician in you to explain it away. Well, I'll certainly be listening. Chester Morris will soon be seen in the Columbia picture Inside Story.

YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video I'm sorry. I know it's been a little minute since we did a stream. I apologize and I appreciate y'all that that a patient with me Thank you but anyway In this video, I mean this came out a couple of days ago, so it ain't brand new news, but They had to make sure I talked about it some people reminded me earlier today on YouTube like hey What do you think about the MPU? So Just for any of you have who know already or who might have heard or even if you haven't heard Word on the street is that Dean peas the Ravens former defensive coordinator He Could possibly come out of retirement and everybody coming through saying hi appreciate y'all What's up Simon Ravens nation quality control Devon darkest fear Cornelius appreciate all y'all coming through and everybody else That's here too. What's up Logan, but Dean peas the Ravens former defensive coordinator who just retired he May unretire and go join the Tennessee Titans as a defensive coordinator Because I think they said he got tired to the new head coach over there. I think it's gonna be Mike Rabel I believe But any isn't it Mike Rabel? Can y'all can y'all confirm that who's who's the head coach of the Tennessee Titans? Who is that gonna be because I really forgot who it was But I Just wanted to share my thoughts on it Oh, it is Mike Rabel. Okay, appreciate it. So, you know what? That's how that's how you know you're getting old That's how I know I'm getting super old because I watched Mike Rabel play for the Patriots.  I'm a old man Man, but they Before we get into this, let me introduce myself. Me. I'm engraving vision. This is my YouTube channel engraving vision I'm a Ravens fan. So we know Dean peas. So if Titans are gonna be bringing on Dean peas Whoo Titans Titans Titans anyway, but like I said, I'm a Ravens fan and on the channel We talk Ravens all the time, but we also just talk football period So if you're Ravens fan, if you're a Titans fan, or if you like any of the other 30 teams in the NFL Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel turn your notifications on and like my guy Ryan Maddler said it's free Like my boy DGP said if you breathe and make sure you leave a like on a video click the thumbs up button And then you can follow on to the Instagram and snapchat all three are engraving vids And we got we got 30 people in here, but we only got 10 likes we gotta fix that make sure you click the thumbs up button but anyway So for Dean peas He could possibly unretire and become a defensive coordinator for For the Tennessee Titans now is this the first time that I appreciated Andre is this the first time that There's been a Ravens coordinator Who said something said that they were gonna do something and they fell back on their word and then do it No, remember remember our good buddy Gary Kubiak Gary Kubiak. Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I'm he said he was gonna stay What's up, Mildew? Then he ended up going to the Broncos. I've been peas. Oh, yeah, I'm done coaching I've been coaching for 40 something years. I think you said I forgot how many years he said and I've been coaching forever I'm done now I'm retiring So now he's gonna possibly go coach go be the defense Coordinator for the Tennessee Titans now Do I have a problem with that? No, not at all man Dean peas people are entitled to change their mind They're entitled to change their mind. That's what your mind is for to make decisions He made a decision. He decided to change his mind about that decision. Okay, fine. They're not no big deal at all That's not even a deal at all. That's fine My problem is not even a problem for Ravens I just feel for Titans because Titans are going to need a a big time heavy Just a great offense this year if Dean peas is gonna be that defensive coordinator now When I say that do I think that Dean peas is a bad defensive coordinator? No No, but when I say that I think the Titans are going to need to have a great Okay, shout out to the people who can't drive When I say that deep the Titans are going to need to have a great offensive team They're gonna have to have offensive firepower. They're gonna need to score a lot of points this season Reason I say that is because Dean peas. He's not a bad defensive coordinator But his situational play calling is bad So if you have a game that is close where everything is on the line and your team is on defense and they need to make a stop Dean peas is not the guy to go to he is not the guy to close it out Trust me us Ravens fans. We know and not even just this year But this year being the most recent year where he's done that several times. We know first hand But he's done this this is not anything new in the highest pressure situations when everything's on the line is play calling fails it fails It fails. This is not the first time that he's done this This is not the first year. Yeah, it's been a year after year after year after year after year so With Titans if you're in a close game and you got to count on the defense Oh boy, you might as well Just let the offense score let the opposing teams offense score So you guys can have a chance to get a game win and drive on offense But they're gonna need to score a lot of points if your team is up big and Dean peas is your defensive coordinator fine. That's fine That's fine. But if your team isn't a close game and defensive the defensive coordinators being peas You all got to close it out. Oh, you got a problem on your hands You got a problem on your hands and quality control. I didn't watch the Pro Bowl. I didn't watch not one second of it I didn't this has been the first year where I didn't even turn to the channel that the Pro Bowl was even on Usually I'll turn to it and I might watch like maybe a couple of minutes of it or something but I didn't watch not one second of it and No regrets So I heard there was a comeback from the AFC the NFC was up like 20 to 3 and the AFC came back and I think they won 24-20 or something. I forgot what the score was what I didn't watch any of it, but I Don't think Dean peas did either. I Don't think he did either But yeah, D&P so we're gonna see if he if he unretires and then comes to join the Titans as a defensive coordinator I'm I mean, like I said, not a bad defensive coordinator Just not a clothe. He's not afraid to bring pressure He's not not afraid to create some creative blitzes and whatnot bring a corner down bring safety He'll bring whoever I did like that about Dean peas. He'll bring whoever they may not get there But that's on the personnel. That's not on the MPs because he sure will bring them But We'll see how it goes man We're gonna see how it goes We're gonna see how close shout out to me She said there cause biggest accomplishment in this rear has been leading the Pro Bowl comeback. Wow That's tough, man. Yeah, D&P's not clutch. This is as simple as a can close it out Can't close out a game. He cannot close out a game and that that was his downfall in Baltimore And we've seen it time and time the biggest game. I think he didn't close out not even not even a game Not even the game What was it Not even the game this last one Where we lost to the big I mean that was one of the biggest that does definitely stands out But I go back to um, like somebody just mentioned earlier. They said the Giants game last year I mean, well that one. Can I really put it on D&P's? We had we had cornerbacks running into each other You know, they'll back them just broke free. Um, I mean that was that they were countless games last year Oh my goodness, don't even get me started but this year Steelers game in Pittsburgh, we are just killing it, but we couldn't stop Pittsburgh for nothing just Nothing was working the tight ends were open all game long and it was just It was that game Definitely go back a couple. I mean it ain't even a couple years now I feel like it's been forever since we were in playoffs that playoffs game Against the Patriots where we were up by two touchdowns, then they came back Then we were up to by two touchdowns, and then they came back and then we just couldn't hold them out So it's it's been like a lot and there's a lot more games in between all of those too, but It's tough man It's tough It is tough, but hey, that's the life of a football fan Gotta go through the good the bad and the ugly and everything in between Um, so yeah, he so will he be able to close with tight ends? Based on his history If if you're up big, then he'll be fine. If you're up big Dean P's will be a okay, but if you if it's a close game Oh, you about to be real stressed out, man. You about to be real stressed out Oh, no, I'm not the goat. It's a lot of other ghosts. I'm I'm a billy goat, but not the greatest of all time not even close But yeah, man, it's all good. So anyway um Titans fans I um, I don't want to scare you anything I just want to give you give you the real from somebody that's seen Dean P's up close and personal. We actually uh Oh, no, we didn't we didn't meet him. He was just around. We did see Dean P's Up close and personal one time when they the Ravens came to play Miami.
