Since we are a little bit ahead of time, I'd like to just take a moment and say that being the outlying speaker today, because everyone else has been based here at MD Anderson, it gives me the opportunity to say that that globally and nationally, the RCC community of doctors is quite strong, very friendly, and we share and work together at a level that a lot of our other peers and other tumor types and other scientists don't have. So we have great relationships, both personal relationships and academic relationships. So it's a very tight community. So hopefully that gives patients a lot of comfort in knowing that the doctors are not fighting each other, that we actually are on the same team to try to cure this disease. And so these doctors you've heard today, I get the chance to interact with at national and international venues. The Kidney Cancer Association has been a pinnacle for us in the kidney cancer world and have been vested in new therapies for kidney cancer back when kidney cancer was not sexy, back when all we had was interferon or interleukin 2 for therapy. So it's great to be here to talk about promising new therapies. My agenda is simple. I want to be, since I am the last didactic presentation today for you, I wanted to provide an overview of the current status of systemic therapy. You've heard the details of the clinical trials by Dr. Taneer. Talk a little bit about the new trials and some of the clinical trial methods that we're doing. You've heard that mentioned briefly by Dr. Taneer, some of the innovative patient preference trials, and then also talk about some new targets in ongoing trials in kidney cancer. So let's just start off here. This is a very busy slide. Don't worry about the numbers. This is just to show you we've got lots of drugs. You've heard that we've got seven new therapies available for this disease. And one of the benefits, probably one of the few benefits of having multiple therapies is that we've got choice. One of the negatives is that we need to have data and we need to have experience to help guide us on the choice. And I think a lot of us have felt in kidney cancer that the rapid development of new drugs in the disease has somewhat outpaced us scientifically in knowing how to best utilize the drugs we have. And so one of the new things moving forward for us in kidney cancer research is going to be trying new trial designs that allow us to compare. Because you as a patient and me as a doctor, I want to know which drug, compared to the other drug, is better. And we've got to do those type of trials. So it's one thing to have a bunch of drugs on the market. But do we really know what is the best sequence of the drugs? Do we really fully understand the combinations of the drugs? And that is something that's going to take years here for us to discover. But what is clear is that we have, of these panoply of drugs, when a patient comes in to see us and they need to start their therapy for metastatic disease, we generally have across the world two drugs that are chosen. And those drugs are synidinib and pozopinib. Those are the two most commonly prescribed agents in the first line setting for this disease, synidinib and pozopinib. And so we've actually done something that we've done across other tumor types too, is we've come up with these treatment guidelines. So it's one thing to have an expert like Dr. Taneer say, okay, you're going to get pozopinib as frontline therapy. But what is Dr. Jones who's out in, you know, middle of nowhere, Texas? What data source does he have? And so sometimes in the patient may not be able to drive to see Dr. Taneer, or they may not be able to drive to see me in Dallas. Well, the guidelines serve as a reference point for doctors to know what experts feel would be appropriate therapy. And what I've shown here is to be not politically correct, because I didn't choose the U.S. guidelines, I chose the European guidelines. These are the ESMO guidelines 2012. But they're somewhat similar to what we have. We use something called NCCN treatment guidelines. And the first thing to mention, a guideline is not an absolute, it just gives you an idea, because we recognize patients are individuals, and we need to tailor the therapy for the individual patient. But as you can see in the first line setting, synidinib or pozopinib, pozopinib has a little asterisk there. Those are the two most commonly utilized. Which drug you get, the trials show us, and we'll review that briefly. It really doesn't matter in regards to the outcome of response. There's a little bit of difference in side effects. So a doctor chooses one or the other, and I said globally, those are the two that are used. And if you have very poor features on your tumor, the way it's behaving, which is extremely rare, about 10% of patients we see are what we consider poor risk. They have advanced symptoms. The intense surlimus is pretty much the global standard for that setting. So how do we select? We select therapy based upon the individual drug, the differences in uniqueness between the drug in regards to side effects that the clinical trials have shown us. We look at patient-specific factors. There's no patient that's the same as the other. So patients have their own unique tumor burdens. They have their own medical histories. Some patients come in with histories of heart failure, heart attacks, strokes, other things that make us choose agents differently. We try to apply the available data that exists, the global data, on therapy for the disease. And we do this to try to get the optimal efficacy. We want to choose the right drug for the right patient that's going to give us the best outcome.  Obviously, they spend time maybe sometimes for different reasons. They want to know why we choose what we choose and why patients choose what they choose when it comes to these different therapies. And you can see listed here are the different patient factors that go into it and the different agent factors that go into it. But without a doubt, when we survey both doctors and we survey patients and people respond truthfully, the biggest factor that guides both the patient and the doctor and their choice of therapy when they're familiar with the data is efficacy. So patients want, this is to start off as initial therapy, their first line of therapy, they want the drug that works the best. They're not as concerned about the side effects if they have a drug that works better and shrinks the tumor more. So that is something important for us to know as we're selecting these agents. Another field of research is trying to find, are there ways that we can predict before we give the agent to a patient who is going to respond to the agent? Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't it be great to be able to take your tumor, Dr. Wood or Dr. Karam cuts out of you to send it for genetic analysis. And then we find out, we get a print-off report, Dr. Taneer gets a print-off and says, this person is going to get Pizopina Votrant, and they're going to have an 85% likelihood of response or a 90% likelihood of response. Wouldn't that be great? You could hand that to your patient. That's the future. I think everyone in this room knows that we are doing genetic analyses now of tumors, and it's not going to be much longer. I'm hopeful that in my lifetime for sure that I would be able to be able to do that. And that's the hope for cancer, is to individualize therapy to that degree. So, I've told you, started off that we have seven of these drugs, and we have to commend pharmaceutical companies for doing something that's tough for them to do, and that is to risk it all, where they actually take on another drug. And so that's what happened in the comparison trial that Dr. Taneer mentioned to you. There was the two most commonly used drugs globally, are synidinib and posopenib. And we have a trial which can be faulted. Now, in our academic lectures, in our meetings, we kind of ripped the trials apart, and there's no perfect trial, but this was a trial that was designed to show that posopenib was as good as, not worse than synidinib. Wasn't designed to show that it was better. It was just to show that it was similar or equivalent to. And that was this particular trial, and what you see here is overlapping curves. I mean, it doesn't take a scientist to know that these drugs are pretty similar in their activity. So that allows us, Dr. Taneer and myself, to say either drug is probably gonna be okay for you, either drug is gonna give you the same likelihood of response. But what Dr. Taneer said is that these drugs are a little different. Even though they hit the same targets, they do so in different ways, and with that comes different side effects, and there are certain side effects, the ones that are in the teal killer up here, that are favoring synidinib, and there are a group of side effects that favor posopenib. And as you can see, as I started off, every patient's different, you could imagine there may be patients that are going to do better with one drug over the other based upon these type of side effects. And so this is what we as doctors utilize when we're choosing agents. Another kind of, this is the, when I was mentioning that I wanted to talk about novel trial designs, this is it. This is the first time I'm aware in cancer where we've done a patient preference study. Now again, academically in behind closed doors, scientists will argue about the validity of these trials, but certainly it was from a patient's perspective, this was a home run, because it allowed patients to have a voice to do a trial where a patient could actually vote as part of the trial results, whether they liked one drug or another, based upon side effects. And that's important to know when we have drugs that are very similar in their activity. If drug works about the same, it's important to know which one's better for the patient intolerance. And so as Dr. Tenier mentioned, I won't go through the details of the trial, they looked at both the doctor's impression of benefit and side effects and they looked at the patients. And we were able to show that actually the average person seems to favor posopenib in regards to side effects better than synidinib. So that important stuff to know and there was the breakdown that Dr. Tenier mentioned to you, 70% preferring posopenib, 22% synidinib. Again, with a lot of scrutiny on this trial, this was not a perfect trial, but at least it gives you an idea that there are differences between the drugs. That's first line, what about second line? Well, we recognize we're not curing anyone. Despite these unique cases, and I have them in my own practice, I have patients on frontline therapy, synidinib and posopenib for seven, eight, nine, 10 years. I mean, amazing lengths of time, but that's not the average person we see. The average person is going to have progression on one of these therapies at some point. And then the decision is to move on to the next therapy. And our goal as doctors is to give our patients all of as many options, as many of the available agents as possible to hopefully get an additive benefit of prolonging survival as long as possible. And what we are trying to figure out is what's outlined here, contribution, is each of these different therapies we give patients, we're trying to understand how much each of those therapies add to the overall survival. But our goal is the same, give as many of the therapies as possible to our patients. And I will tell my patients when I first meet them that that is our goal. So that they understand that it's unrealistic to think that synidinib or posopenib is gonna be the only drug for them. That's what we start off with. And that we have all these other drugs that we are going to sequentially use to drive survival as long as possible. And we've got all these drugs again to do this. And two of the ones that have been most, most putatively most commonly used as next drugs outside of a clinical trial.  So our patients are going on trials, but for the average patient who's not on a clinical trial, they're going to be getting one of these drugs next. And whichever one they don't get next, they get that one after. So we sequentially use these drugs and the two most commonly globally used drugs now as second line therapies are either the affinity or everolimus mTOR inhibitor or exidinib, which as Dr. Tenir mentioned, was the second generation powerful VEGF inhibitor. And so at the end of the day, this is my, this is finishes my review of what you've heard so far is our goal is, we want to achieve long-term survival and that we recognize in 2014 is going to require careful selection of agents for each individual patient. And I can tell you, I can speak in general terms, this is generally what I do first, second, third, fourth line, but that's a generality. And it changes based upon individual patients, it changes upon the individual patient's response to the therapies. So the way they respond to the first line therapy may influence my choice of therapy in the second line setting. The side effects you can imagine, when they have a side effect in the first line therapy, that may influence my choice in the second line therapy, et cetera. So we do, even though we make general statements about how we're going to use the therapies, we do want to tailor that to individual patients. Okay, busy, isn't this a nasty slide, right? Tough slide, I borrowed some of my slides from Tony Tueri, who's one of our colleagues at Harvard. So if he's watching on the video cast, he'll recognize some of these slides. This slide, very busy cartoon, is depicting the sites of action biochemically in the cancer cell and the microenvironment. So we've got up here synidinib, seraphinib, posopenib and exidinib, which are predominantly working at the endothelial cell. That's the cell that makes the vasculature. And then we've got the mTOR inhibitors, which are going to be working down here in the mTOR pathway. What we recognize cancers are so complex, I mean major complex, PhD level complex, that there are a variety of other targets to potentially, to hit, to potentially affect kidney cancer growth. And one of them that's been looked at here is in this red blocks is growth factor receptor for MET. You hear about MET, which is a growth factor receptor in FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor. Those are two targets that novel drugs for kidney cancer have been studying. And the first one to talk about is cabozantinib. Cabozantinib is a MET inhibitor. It also inhibits VEGF. And this drug, cabozantinib, has a brand name of Cometric and has received FDA approval for thyroid cancer already. But our colleague, Tony Twerly, who's trained with me at Cleveland Clinic and is now heading the kidney cancer program at Dana-Farber and Harvard, I did a trial in patients with refractory kidney cancer including patients with a subtype of kidney cancer which doesn't do well with therapy, a psychomatoid type of clear cell kidney cancer. And he was able to show in a refractory setting, so third, fourth, fifth line setting that there were good responses, confirmed partial responses of 28% on patients. There was only 25, mind you, in this smaller trial. 52% of patients having stable disease. In a median progression free, that's the length of time the patient's able to be on the therapy with control of over a year. So an exciting drug. And they included in this trial some different correlative studies. And this was radiographic responses using volumetric scanning. And just to show you, this was the baseline of one of his patients on the trial. And then after eight weeks of therapy, showing dramatic response. And this is important, because this particular patient you can see was a heavily pre-treated patient. Patient who's already had four lines of therapy. They had synidinib. They had a traditional chemotherapy drug called gemcytabine, which is a chemo drug which is used in kidney cancer. They had the mTOR inhibitor affinitor, which is commonly used second or third line. And they had this drug which you name might not recognize as Ramucerumab, Ramucerumab. I don't even know if I pronounce it right. But it's an Avastin or Bevacizumab like drug. It targets VEGF receptor two antibody. So this patient's been treated with drugs that should work in kidney cancer. And they're getting this as a fifth line therapy, showing this degree of response. So obviously a lot of excitement was generated by this trial. And so this has resulted in CaboXantinib being studied in two major phase three trials. And if these trials are positive, the drug will move to FDA for regulatory approval. These trials are ongoing as we speak. In the cooperative group, the Alliance CLGB cooperative group, don't tell me why they come up with these names, but that's a group of cancer centers generally through the Midwest of the United States is doing a randomized phase two trial comparing the CaboXantinib drug with upfront Synidinib at the traditional schedule four weeks on two weeks off. So this is gonna be in a frontline setting. And then probably the big trial that will result in regulatory approval though is in the second line setting. And that is the Meteor trial. Nizer, are you doing this trial here? Yes, you guys have this available to you in Houston. I'm also doing it in Dallas. This is a major phase three trial. This is the regulatory approval trial for CaboXantinib versus Everolimus. And patients have had to have had progression after frontline VEGF targeted therapy. The primary endpoint is progression free survival and secondary end points overall survival. So that's exciting. As you've heard already, there are different types of kidney cancer, right? So clear cell is the predominant type, the one that we know the most about. The second most common type is the papillary type. And the papillary actually to be more sophisticated and more complicated, there's actually two types. There's a type one and a type two. The type one hereditary papillary renal cell cancer is associated with a met abnormality, met gene. So just like VHL was a gene associated with clear cell, met is a gene associated with papillary renal cell cancers. And we have developed inhibitors that inhibit met. So met is involved in other cancer types too, but in kidney cancers, what we're interested in, there was a drug for red nib, which is a dual inhibits VEGF receptor and inhibits met receptor was studied by our friend, Tony again in patients with papillary renal cell cancer showing significant evidence of benefit. This is what we call a waterfall graft. And so what's going down negative here is the amount of tumor shrinkage that's seen. So you can see the majority of patients are having some degree of tumor shrinkage when they get this drug in their papillary renal cell cancer. And it's a minority amount that actually has tumor growth. And they showed a progression free survival of almost 10 months, which is not bad in comparison to other drugs that we use for the disease. So again, an exciting new drug pigeon hold for a rarer type of tumor papillary. What about biomarkers? We talked that we don't have any predictor markers in the future there with maybe genomic sequencing and looking at the tumor, but we're also looking at biomarkers. We're looking at ways and chemicals that we can test that we could determine whether or not a patient's responding to a therapy and how long they'll respond. And there's a variety that we've looked at. Unfortunately, none of them have been validated yet, but we continue to search for these. These include things for interleukin-2, high-dose interleukin-2, trying to find ways we can predict and who's gonna benefit from that. VEGF targeted therapy, there's a list and MTOR inhibitors. So this list continues to grow and is ongoing. As I end now, we've talked about, I think Cabo-Xantinib, which is probably, most would agree, is one of the major drugs that's on the horizon. It's an oral drug, similar to the Sutent-Votrient family in regards to it being an oral drug with similar side effects, but inhibits C met. The Ferretinib drug is for a rarer indication. The next big group that is really on the horizon is the immunotherapy you've heard about in detail. So just briefly, there's a couple of vaccines that are being studied. Vaccines that are being studied in patients and the refractory setting in the vaccine types of therapies that are being studied in patients as adjuvant therapy. And this is just a phase two study looking at one. This IMA-901, which has 10 tumor-associated peptides and these tumor-associated peptides are supposed to stimulate the immune system to fight the cancer. And they were able to show, in patients that actually develop immune responses to this peptide, a significant benefit. And these were patients with advanced RCC who had prior therapy with both interferon and alukin-2, TKIs, which would be like the synidinib-pozopinib, and had documented progression, that when they gave them this type of therapy and the patients had an immune response to it that they were able to have benefit. This has resulted in a phase three trial that I have not seen the results of yet, looking at this in combination with Sutent. So people say, why would you take an immune stimulator in combination with Sutent? Well, part of the story that you haven't heard about is that Sutent itself, besides inhibiting VEGF and blocking blood vessel development, is an immune modulator itself. We haven't spent a lot, we don't fully understand it well, but it is clear in labs around the world that Sutent can affect the way the body's immune system is response to the cancer. And so there's been a lot of immunologists that have worked on this. One of my mentors at the Cleveland Clinic has published on this. And so the thought is that maybe you could use this stimulator of the immune system, this 10-peptide vaccine, if you will, and combine it with Sutent and hopefully adjust the Tregs in the tumor and make them more responsive. There's another trial. This is a autologous dendritic cell vaccine. I don't know if you're doing this, Nizer, I'm not. You are. So this is the ADAPT study that is a similar type of thing where you're combining the therapy, sequencing it with Sutent. Again, for the same reasons that Sutent does have immune modulatory effects on the immune cells, the tumor-associated immune cells. And then finally, as I end, you've heard this eloquently mentioned already, that the break on the immune system is this interaction between PD1 and PDL1. And there's energy, which is when your immune system, you're allergic, you don't have reactions to normal immune stimuli, or on the other extreme, you have autoimmunity. And I'm sure you've heard of immune-related diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, SLE stuff. So there can be situations when your immune system just attacks everything. So the problem with the PD1, PDL1 is that's the break. And so we're trying to design therapies that will take off the break that the cancer puts on the immune system to take it off so that the immune system can work, but at the same point, not throw someone into autoimmunity where they're having the immune system attack the body because that produces bad side effects. That would be similar to what happens in bone marrow transplant patients. And so there's been a lot of work into this. The PD1 inhibitors and the PDL1 inhibitors, these are them shown here on the slide. From earlier studies, this again is from my friend Tony's presentation at 2013 ASCO meeting. You can see with the nivolumab, which is the BMS compound, that this is a spider graft, and anything going down negative here is a response. It's the degree of tumor shrinkage. You can see the majority of patients that got this PD1 inhibitor, this checkpoint inhibitor, they were having benefit with tumor shrinkage with kidney cancer. And then you can see one of the PDL1s, also about 50% of them having some response to the therapy. So both of these antibodies to those checkpoints that are the brakes of the immune system are demonstrating benefit. One of the interesting things is that we can actually test the tumor for expression of PD1, PDL1. And so when they look at PDL1, the problem is it's not perfect. It's like PSA testing, it's not perfect. So it's unclear whether this will be useful for us, but clearly if a tumor is expressing PDL1, those are the people that are getting their responses to a PDL1 inhibitor, versus if you don't express the PDL1, you're not. So you remember what I initially said when I started the talk, the future would be able to do a test like this on someone's tumor and determine who is going to benefit from the therapy and who is not before you give the patient all the side effects of the therapy. And so this is a step in the right direction again, but it's not perfect. It's unclear whether this will move forward. And then there are several phase two trials of NIVOLUMAB. This is an ongoing trial, phase three trial. It's on the verge of closing soon. It closed already. I thought it closed in Decemberish time period, December, January, but the results will be forthcoming within the next calendar year most likely of NIVOLUMAB versus Everolimus as a second line therapy or third line therapy. So patients could have had one or two prior VEGF therapies and get this as a second or third line. So whenever you see phase three trials like this, where you have the experimental drug comparing it to one of the standard drugs, that should tell you that that is a registrational pathway. And if they beat it, if they win, they potentially can get the drug approved. So that's what the NIVOLUMAB, the PD-1 inhibitor, the PD-L1 inhibitor, which is the roast product. We actually have open, I don't know if you all do, but it's a frontline trial and it combines the PD-L1 with Bevacizumab, that's one arm versus Sutent, the other arm, as a frontline therapy, and it's a phase three trial of that particular agent, that trial's ongoing. So you can see, to summarize, we've got Cabozantinib, which is a phase three trials ongoing, which is a very exciting drug that has high hopes that will become approved and on the market. Then you've got these two agents, the NIVOLUMAB, phase three trial, already completed waiting results, and you've got the upfront, which I can't pronounce the name of that particular drug, it's the ROSE PD-L1 antibody, which is ongoing. So again, three new drugs, which have real hopes in the next year or two to hit the market. So as I end, I think I'm up with time. Chris is standing there. Thank you, thank patients, thank the KCA. Thanks for your attention.


there should be coming in. Hi everyone, this is Icho. Welcome to my channel, welcome to the live stream. Today, today is March 20th, 2022. And we're doing a live stream, open discussion on current events, newness politics, economics, and whatnot. And there's much, much, much to talk about. That's why we've been doing these on a regular basis. And we will continue to do so for quite some time to come, because we are in a transitional period in our societies. I don't care where you are. It's what's going on in the world right now on the political front, economic front, social front, engineering front, disruptive innovation front, collapsing legacy systems front, agriculture front, water front, on every front, every society is being affected. And these changes that are taking place right now are going to take a little bit of time to play out. Some places were fair better than others. Some places are lost already. Some places can save themselves. And we're here to find out maybe even just share information, because for every person, wherever you are, your solution may differ dramatically from those from other parts of the world. Okay. And while we wait for notifications to go out on Twitch and Gilded, I hope, and Discord for now, we might get kicked off there, because we've been talking about things that the technocrats do not want you to talk about. And on that front, this live stream will not be loaded on SensorTube in its entirety. This little short intro that you're listening to right now, if you're seeing this video, which is anywhere between two to eight minutes, depends on how long our intros are on SensorTube. Know that this is a live stream that we are doing on current events, news, politics, economics, and much more live on Twitch. Okay. So if you want to participate in these live streams live on Twitch, as they are happening, you can come to our Twitch channel and the link is there. And usually we have a sort of a 15 minute little message that pops up, which is incredibly important, incredibly important, which is Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to be transparency and accountability of capitalist, poverty, humanity, something that we desperately need in our societies. Okay. Much of what's taking place right now, much of what's taking place right now began with Julian Assange and our indifference as societies to what centralized power was doing to this journalist, to this human being that was trying to warn us about what was about to come our way. Okay. So we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Julian Assange for trying his best, trying his best to awaken us. And we should work towards freeing him. Okay. And for more information, you can see wikileast.org, defend.wikileast.org, or check out our June Assange and wikileast playlist on SensorTube. Grooze. Grooze. What are, what are your take on the Ukraine situation? We'll talk, I'll give you my take on it as soon as we finish our intro. Grooze, micro twist, how are you doing? Because we can't load this discussion on SensorTube. Okay. So for those of you that are still here on SensorTube, you want to go to BitChute, Rumble and Odyssey and the links will be in the description of this video. And if you want to know what this work is about, I am on patreon, patreon.com forward slash chico, C-H-Y-C-H-O. And for those of you that are supporting this work on Patreon, gang, thank you very much for the support. We will be there for, as long as we're permitted to be there. Just know this, that I set up a sub stack page a while ago. And sooner rather than later, I posted one article there. And I posted that one article there. It was an article that I wrote in 2005, 2006. Okay. It's entitled Anomalies, Prisons and Geophysics, How Governments Use Data and How to Stop Them. And it was an important article. And that really is the foundation of my discussion online and has been since that time, which is like 17 years now. And you could see it coming a mile away. That's why I was able to write that article, by the way, for those of you that thinks what's happening right now is something, you know, that wasn't predicted in all this jazz with censorship, surveillance, technocrats, the Great Reset and all that jazz, all these wars. Know this, that in 2005, 2006, it was clear to me, it was clear before that, after 9-11 it became clear, that it was obvious that where centralized power was leading us, that's why I was able to put that article together. Okay. So this is a long game that has been that we're in. Okay. And we should take notice because it's reached a critical point now. Okay. But we can talk a lot more about that in this live stream. But for those of you who just work on Patreon, again, thank you very much for your support. I will be creating a sub-stack page. So I'll provide that information later on. If we get knocked off Patreon or whatever it is, we will be on sub-stack and we are on subscribe star as well. The links will be in the description of this video. I'll add my sub-stack link as well, if I remember. Okay. We do announce these live streams 30 minutes before we go live on mines, we can get a part of the getter and BitCloud. You can follow the work there and we do have a Gilded page and we do have a Gilded page. Okay. We are doing a move from Discord to Gilded. I am now only sharing links on Gilded. Okay. Even though I go to Discord because we have a thousand plus people on Discord and there's a great forum. Right. So I still do participating discussions and stuff, but I'm only sharing links on Gilded now. Okay. I'm not sharing any more links on Gilded on Discord because they just announced earlier this week that they will be censoring their servers. Thank you very much for the tier one sub beards when you're 91. Good morning, sir. Hope you're doing well. Thank you very much. Doing well. Doing well. Enjoying the morning discussion with you guys. Okay. So if you're on Discord, I highly recommend coming to Gilded. That's where I share a lot of information and some of the there's only like 30, 40 people there right now, but that's our core, core following, core followers have moved on to there as well, even though they're still sharing information on Discord. And I hope Discord continues because I consider it to be a forum of sharing information and we've got a lot of information archived there so you can dig down and see the different stories, how they have unfolded. And we will be uploading the audio of this live stream to SoundCloud.com forward slash Chicho as a podcast. And this podcast should be available in your favorite podcasting platform, including Spotify, iTunes and Google Play for as long as they allow it. Gang, if you're on SensorTube, links in the description of this video. I'm going to take these guys down, gang, and get back to the chat, get back to our discussion. And thank you for tolerating these introductions every time we do this, sort of gets me in the mindset as well, sort of become a ritual now. And I do enjoy it actually. It's sort of saying like a mantra before you begin something or warming up before you start a game, right?

Hello and welcome back to the craft box guys, my name's Brent and today we are back for episode 22 of the Pirate 101 Musketeer walkthrough So yeah Today we're going to be going to Valencia Here captain all your papers. I fear I shall never see you again. You go to your doom and avarice But rest assured I will never forget you Okay, so off to a venus in between episodes. I did that quest where we had to defeat six ships. It took a while What else did I do in between episodes? I got all the parts for a new ship that we got last episode which is the Monquistin one which is right here So yeah last episode we Found out about how to get into Valencia, which is real cool. So that's where we are hitting now So yeah Here we go Here we go into the storm gates Don't know no no no no these papers are another captain Why anyone should want to brave that idiot skyways beyond me, but your doom is yours to see Okay, here we go boom Let us see it off to Valencia Going through dragons fire obviously What can we see today we can see Marley bone and Zafaria was its city aquila What else? No other worlds. That's a shame. I Make sure really looking forward to going into Valencia for the first time Valencia is one of my favorite worlds It's really short-lived, but I really like it. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it Oh, yeah, so I got a whole bunch of upgrades for my ship I'll show you when we get through the storm gate. I think Yeah She wants to through the storm gate hurry up hurry up hurry up. I hate it It takes so long to go through storm gates There we go finally. Oh my god. The music is so loud. Ah So loud Dragon's fire. I'm very red. This is just the outskirts of Dragon's fire. So Here we go Use storm gate explore the Aragon Skyway Here we go. So I'm on my ship on me ship I got a whole bunch of things. So I got a new anchor I got some armor Got some cannons Got the flamethrower. I think we were using that already. So they're the same I should probably think about changing them sometime soon, but I don't really mind We've got the figurehead We've got the anchor sails Wheel which is cool. So yeah, that's what we're rocking into Valencia And also, I don't know if I mentioned this last episode, but This episode is going to be Quite long. We're going to be hopefully Well, we are going to be finishing all of Valencia in this episode just because it's really short and yeah So it's going to be quite a long episode, but that's fine Having long episodes every so often is good Because we've got we had a short episode last time I think and another short one before that. So yeah, this is so cool Valencia is so cool. I love this skybox. It's amazing Okay, let's head on to captain steed bum bum bum Yeah, I also changed my mount for Valencia. I got the Valencian steed which was given out at the release of Valencia part 2 So I got that which is cool. That's my mount for this episode and any episode that we're in Valencia Just look at this though. Look at this. That's just a sec. Let's let's get a good pic here This I'm gonna have to make a thumbnail. Let's let's get a good pic here. This is crazy I don't know what's on my thumbnail for this, but look at this. This is this is so cool How could you? This is crazy Like It's so cool. I love Valencia so much. It's such a cool place Like it gives it spooks me every time I'm here, but it's such a cool place Like I love the skybox. It's just so moody It's really great Steed I Don't know you. You are a long way from home pirate. Why are you here? You oppose the armada a foolish stamp to take young one Especially so close to the center of their power. I have no patience for bravado From the resistance show him So the resistance inch all the way from Skull Island by the look of you. You're too late The great struggle is over. We mark up oil's map. That's just a legend Still if the armada wants it, I'll gladly help you keep it from them For your thought at the academy in Cervela the map may be there, but you cannot walk into Cervela as you are You need the disguise Attack our mother ships and defeat the clockwork marines and musketeers to gather pieces of a disguise Return when you are ready Okie-dokie I will be right back once we have defeated six ships Okie-dokie, I'm back. I just finished that it took a wee while Probably about ten minutes It's fine But I did that I got the pieces of clockworks that we need to make our costume or disguise to go into Cervela or whatever it's called the university or something so we can Find my co-poils pieces of the map here we go steed Here I shall fashion these parts into a suit for you to wear it won't stand up to close scrutiny But will serve you well if you're careful There you are perhaps a little short for an armada trooper But my countrymen will be too afraid of you to notice you should meet no resist go to Cervela and Seek out a scholar named Thaddeus Tell him that I sent you and ask him for access to the library. Okie-dokie Let us head off to Cervela so Basically Where will we be in a conversation before I went to defeat all those ships?  I always get really scared going into it for the first time But the first time I got in here.  Like I think this is definitely Definitely one of the better-looking worlds in my opinion so yeah But yeah, there are a lot of ships I'm out of ships just floating around that are easy to get they're only level 14 So yeah, if you it's quite easy to defeat those ships. So yeah, but look at that machine. It's so cool Like it's so cool. How could you say that it's not cool having that in the middle of your world? Yes, it looks hideous down here. I'm like all dark and shit, but it's so cool. I Love coming here every single time It's so good. I haven't showed you the map. This is the map of the skyway off there Is the Calabria skyway, which is for part two So yeah, but we're going to the university here first So yeah Here we are speaking of that X yeah, okay sweet The music here is also really like tense and it's really quite cool Load Thank you.  See look I look really I think I really suit this place I've got my Armada trooper. So I think they can't like worry that I'm not one of them. I Think that's what they're thinking.  I'm not the one you want I have done nothing You are human after all forgive me. I mistook you for one of them. What do you seek at the Imperial Academy? Marco Pollo keep your voice down. You're the one shouting here. Jays the Academy is in turmoil captain The Armada is searching every inch of this place for what I don't know The students have been sent home and we scholars and professors wait outside Unable to walk where we will it is as though we are prisoners If you're looking for something of Marco Pollo's you need good Zago the historian He usually lectures in the Grand Amphitheater Okay, I am going to turn up the dialogue. I feel it's a bit quiet options plus Okay, the dialogue's already next which is annoying. Okay Lag please don't like I don't want to be pulled Okay, here we go You seem to be great things you shouldn't be here. Should you don't worry? You're a secret is a safer with me Marco Pollo's map She'll know your history if there is any copies of a Pollo's map the library will have them the library is Of course so for limits during this find the G opera the library is a custodian He'll sneak you in there once inside the library find the library and that they'll move Okay, here we go So Sneakpush these are my roach Sneakly here we go Here we go, I don't know why there's some lag.  There is a service entrance to the library You will find it above and it should be unguarded this key will open it go Okay Here we go.  This seems sneaky. I like the sneaky stuff. Oh That looks Polarian to me. I think that's a symbol of Polaris Um, he's clever we'll go through into a ze West Wing And we will go into the library Yeah, it's read all the books all the books of mine That's what the Amador is saying right now all the books of mine and we read them all. Yes Loading times are a bit slow today. Oh That's hidden by a tree. That's cool. Well, it's not really cool. It's just cheeky. Okay. Oh No Marco Puyo's map you're too late.  The armada took all the books and papers Puyo gave to the library Everything they even took books written about him's machines were made to protect Valencia from our enemies Our truth and knowledge our enemies now. I fear I cannot help you Perhaps Gonzago knows of some other way for you to find what you seek. I wish you luck. Oh kid. Okay That's some lucky. Who is this finished its wing Let us collect what wing wants. He's got some more quick speed for us 36 of it. Whoo so much Let's go through these open doors again perfect So they destroyed all the books Written about him and that he ridden and that he donated which is kind of a bit like Personally, I think it's a bit far, you know, like why would you need to remove books that are written about him? But you know, oh well Where's Gonzaga this way? It looks like a mushy one. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong Yeah, we go Gonzago speaketh Confiscated what use does the armada have for them? Everything a Marco poyo wrote or referenced taken the fool's probably even stole my book about you wait There may still be hope. I saw the clockworks carry away several crates two days ago They took them to the fortress at the other end of the skyway Thank you your ship and go to the fortress get those books back or see if you can learn where they are mother took them Thank you, let's go to captain steed's villa because I know it's near there and we will Yeah, we'll leave another mark here Leave another mark here. Thank you Um So, yeah, I knew because I know we have to come back here so might as well just leave them up here. Yeah They took all the books we need to get them. No, that's cool. Okay. Anyway, we're here Let's go in there we go Let's go in and see where the books are get the books. Yay Okay, leave ship. Okay, we go get those crates. They might have our books. Let's deal with the guards and check them quick Okay, this is a very typical armada design here Cease. Um, it's exactly or pretty much exactly the same as the oh, there's one right here. That's cool Might as well just hit him into oblivion. Um, it's exactly the same design as the new What's it called the new Other teams just Completely throwing me the new boss thing in skull island skyway that spawns every like a couple of hours So, yeah, let's see Oh, yeah, that's right first strike boom attack boom Okay Here we go now. I think I can get all of them with this one This one Yes, I can Let's super hit you though Done. I swear my mouse is like breaking Okay Boom Yeah, right there go Nice one down. Uh two down.

Okay, we'll just Hit you with all we've got, you know Done done done. Thank you Yay, we did it. That was good Okie dokie Next great search them Find a cargo manifest Maybe a top of that tower if you say so, man Uh officer's desk Okay, we'll go back to steed's villa then So all the way back to Cervella. Um, I'll be back once I am at Cervella Okie dokie. We made it back to Cervella Um Slight lag still. I don't know why oh well Um, yeah, we're in Cervella again. We about to go find The historian again Which will be cool Load load please Thank you Cheers mate. Okay Here we go Here he is You're in the back way this time. That's cool I see fortune does not favor you this day. The books are gone Well, perhaps this can tell us where this manifest is written in some kind of cipher Here my colleague Magdalena will be able to read it. She is the chief linguist of the academy Okay Yes, I cannot read this. It is a simple code. They are mother favors I see the books you are looking for. It seems they have been sent on to cadiz Cadiz Let the books go captain sneaking here was a bold but Cadiz is the center of cairns power Going there is a suicide I fear we've lost Marco Boyu's secrets are lost to us now Perhaps forever. Perhaps not Wow Okay Cadiz is apparently the third skyway. I believe Sivella is not the only place Boyu kept his records. Tell me have you ever heard of a Grandia? Grandia is a small isle and not a far from here It hosts an ancient village where Marco Boyu retired Marco Boyu was entombed under the great chapel in Grandia after his death I have read that many books and papers were a colleague of mine Lorenzo is in Grandia are writing a book Thank you. He will help you find the Boyu's door. Okie dokie. Oh, just run off Cheeky. Okay We are nearly done. This is the beginning of the end Which is kind of crazy. We finished Valenci Pat one all so quickly so soon unfortunately This is Grandia Here we go load Load place place place. Thank you The island she is dying the infernal machines are tearing Grandia apart And when they're finished here, they'll do the same to every island in Valencia after Valencia They'll do this to the whole spiral Never mind that. Let's find this Lorenzo fellow. He's right here. Who goes there? Oh You are no clockwork Thank goodness you're coming the armada has a destroyer my ship and I am a trap to here They are destroying the island Centuries of art and architecture swept away.  It should still survive The fiends have not yet destroyed at the chapel there. That's it. Good luck with your search I hope you find what you see Okay Oh my these guys aren't quite everywhere Quite literally everywhere. Okay quickly quickly.  We'll have to find a different way in Yeah, we will Maybe Lorenzo knows another way. Maybe he does. Ah Whoa, that's so close That's quite spooky Okay, let's go this way. Yes. We can go this way sweet. Whoo.  I am in no surprise. The armada is nefarious indeed Ah, there is another way the old catacombs are under most of the village And they all are leader to the chapel. Look for a tunnel entrance Okay Look for the tunnel entrance Okay, I really hate this lag. This is more like it. Let's find that tomb Catacombs, here we go Obviously they've already been in here. It's quite obvious if it's already open Oh, there's more of them here Collect another map piece and Bruno chapel Let's sneak around here Okay, here we go Enter now Go in Yay This is good nearly done Five four three two one A bit fast enter here we go Perfect We found it But it looks like we aren't the first a blue wind storm. We will take it There's no map piece captain Who is down here don't bother trying to hide I can hear your heartbeat Who are you? No kinsmen of mine. I'm sure a human How marvelous how in the spiral did you get in here? I know why you're here and what you're looking for too late We took the shred of poyo's map weeks ago.  I know you What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in skull island, aren't you?   Well pirate. I am sure we shall meet again Captain the officers defeated the ones named a service or there's no end to them Okay, do we service officers? They are those two there so We're just gonna Agile up a bit actually you can hurt him. He's not a service, but it doesn't matter um, so yeah We do meet fool again He's not fooling around No, um, okay. Um, he's not fooling around when he says we will meet we he'll be sure we meet again We do right at the end um, but you know We meet him again That's the first elite that we've actually met So, yeah You're apart from deacon, but he was in the tutorial and I don't actually think I recorded the tutorial. So it doesn't count Oh, well, it doesn't matter, but yeah, he's the first And he's he's he's probably one of my favorite characters actually to be honest.  Wouldn't you ratbeard dammit? Okay, he's in range of me now, which is good When they get in range of me, it's really good because then I can shoot them and do mass damage Oh ratbed's taking all the hits romba's taking quite a few as well.

Excellencies, leaders of the global south, namaskar. It is my pleasure to welcome you in this summit. I thank you for joining us from different parts of the world. We are meeting as a new year draws and brings new hopes and new energy. On behalf of 1.3 billion Indians, I extend my greetings for a happy and fulfilling 2023 to all of you and your countries. We have turned the page on another difficult year that saw war, conflict, terrorism and geopolitical tensions, rising food, fertilizer and fuel prices, climate change driven natural disasters and lasting economic impact of the COVID pandemic. It is clear the world is in a state of crisis. It is difficult to predict how long this state of instability will last. Excellencies, we, the global south, have the largest states in the future. Three-fourths of humanity lives in our countries. We should also have equivalent voice. Hence, at the eight-decade-old model of global governance, slowly changes. We should try to shape the emerging order. Excellencies, most of the global challenges have not been created by the government. By the global south. But the effect was more.  The search for solutions also does not factor in our role or our voice. Excellencies, India has always shared its development experience with our brothers of the global south. Our development partnerships cover all geographies and diverse sectors. The supplied medicines and vaccines to over 100 countries during the pandemic. India has always stood for a greater role for developing countries in determining our common future. Excellencies, as India begins its G20 presidency this year, it is natural that our aim is to amplify the voice of the global south. For our G20 presidency, we have picked the theme of one earth, one family, one future. This is in line with our civilizational ethos. We believe the path to realize oneness is through human centric development. People of global south should no longer be excluded from the fruits of development. Together, we must attempt to redesign global political and financial governance. This can remove inequalities, enlarge opportunities, support growth and spread progress and prosperity. Excellencies, to reenergize the world, we should together call for a global agenda of response, recognize, respect and reform, respond to the priorities of the global south by framing an inclusive and balanced international agenda, recognize that the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities applies to all global challenges, respect, sovereignty of all nations, rule of law and peaceful resolution of differences and disputes and reform, reform international institutions including the United Nations to make them more relevant. Excellencies, despite the challenges, the developing world faces, I remain optimistic that for time is coming and our time is coming. The need of the hour is to identify simple, scalable and sustainable solutions that can transform our societies and economies. With such an approach, we overcome the difficult challenges, whether it is poverty, universal healthcare or building human capacities. In the last century, we supported each other in our fight against foreign rule. We can do it again in this century to create a new world order that will ensure the welfare of our citizens. That far as India is concerned, your voice, each India's voice. Your priorities are India's priorities. Over the next two days, this voice of global south speech will have discussions on eight priority areas. I am confident that together the global south can produce new and creative ideas. These ideas can form the basis of our voice in the G20 and other forums. In India, we have a prayer, it means may noble thoughts come to us from all directions of the universe.  Excellencies, I look forward to listening to your ideas and thoughts. I once again thank you for your participation. Thank you. Dhanivar.


Chat, but what is up YouTube? What's up, man? Everybody listen on SoundCloud right now. What is up to you? You know I'm saying I'm sorry my voice is about 90% right now had a long weekend Had a good time on the cruise won't get into that in great detail Great detail about the cruise everything that happened. I'm saying everything that meet Clef We went through on the cruise service was terrible once you hit the open water You can't get any type of service. So As far as sharing stuff, I really had the ability to do that But we definitely get time I'll get into all of that right now because we had a great time on the cruise Man, it was a good time But before I start twitch and if you're listening as you watch this live Tuesday at 7 p.m As the as the you know everything was scrolling I had to remove some mods man because in 2020 man if your subscription is not an automatic payment You can't be my so chaos had to get the unmod and ghost had to get the unmod and ghost for man That's all about the money man This is about the fifth time I had to unmod ghost because he don't have me on automatic payment. So We're gonna talk more about goals because ghosts is a funny child. I'm saying just a funny guy but anyway Yeah, it's a pretty much What happened on the cruise? Well probably about a month ago these people hit me up It was called days of summer cruise whatever and it was DJ Khaled chartered this cruise ship For people to go on he had Cardi B in there the baby city girls Who else was there days loaf? So it was definitely a lot of people there but like I said The cruise was pretty much a floating club the whole time But there's a day party or not without that's all it was But about a month ago they hit me up and said we want you to go on this cruise bang um I Didn't believe it not once because the whole time it it was a little shim sham And you get a lot of stuff like that a lot of times people with ideas of two things or not, you know, I mean But at the same time if they tell me they can put me on the cruise I'm going to follow through answer my emails answer my calls and at one point they put me on a Mmm on a conference call Now I don't know if any of you guys have ever been on this conference call stuff Press two to join the conference call and then everybody's So once they did that I took it a little more serious. I had to send them my all my information and You know passports stuff like that and everything and then I The thing is they asked me if I could bring somebody if I could I brought one person with me my buddy It lives in Cleveland. I brought him and then I told that I told them to reach out the cleft And they reached out the cleft and cleft came along with his brother Now his brother is like 20 years old But yeah, so we eventually get on the cruise they booked me a flight to Miami So once they booked me a flight to Miami, I was happy. I believed it Boom once in Miami now when you get to this cruise ship is Super long lines like I said this is a club on a boat That's all this was the boat was old as shit Friday the last oldest carnival victory cruise ship on the sea and um What I was gonna say So the first day so we probably get on the boat I called a guy and a guy meets us outside. So we wanted to wait in none of the lines Which was super clutch because one thing I learned about a cruise. It's really hot. I Hate the heat. I don't know if you guys like the heat. I hate it. I'm white It's hot. I get sunburn.  It hasn't even gone anywhere. It's still in Miami So we we start drinking right away me and my buddy then Clef I meet up with Clef and his little brother like wow what's up and It was cool, and then they started drinking, you know Clef Clef texts me early in the week He said I hope you live live already. So I was like, okay, we shall see and This was the night that the baby and Cardi B were on stage. So Cardi B was gonna come on the stage So we're all excited for that really and um moral the story was Clef started with me at about 4 p.m The boat before the boat even left the port of Miami Clef disappeared Clef and his brother were done So from about 730 and we just kept drinking the baby came on and it's like it's like a pool deck But it'd be they turn into a concert. Everybody's out there. It's packed So the baby came on and then Cardi B came on by this point. I really don't remember too much But I was the last person standing Clef was asleep at 730 Then He woke up the next day ready to redeem himself now the next day We were supposed to have this man tournament one o'clock. They go to open Nassau It's 10 o'clock. We can leave the boat made my buddy leave the boat Meet up with Clef thinking I had to get back to the boat at one o'clock to do this man tournament I hosted whatever So I don't really hang on Nassau that much.  So Okay, I mean it sucks because we could have went out to the mix into Nassau a little bit more Explore a little bit more hit the beach whatever it may be but they didn't have this man tournament the first day They were trying to have it the next day It didn't happen they did not have a man tournament nobody signed up they did not promote it So essentially I did nothing on this boat except be on the boat now Also, what else happened? Let me show you guys So then Saturday Well, let's say Okay, so Saturday didn't have a man tournament boat leaves Nassau like six o'clock So never happens boat leaves Nassau at six o'clock and Clubs cities right out this night and then When the boat leaves off Boom, so who goes on that night? Dage Loaf was on that night Clubs cities on ride out and he made it on Saturday night him and his brother We went from Dage Loaf concert then we went to the club and we're in the club right till 4 a.m Now this night I went strictly I Probably stopped drinking liquor around 1 a.m.  The Bud likes to be very well on Saturday and But Clef didn't make it Clef is little brother. They kind of disappoint me because they really weren't on the hose like that So I'm tired of being I'm at the point. I'm 32 like I can't be the main one all the time when I go out I can't be that person. I Wish I could I wish I could be the secondary person or even the last person on the group But I can't be the full back all the time man. And once again, I was the full back And I can't lie I kind of need a kid there with me because I need is you know somebody slide in there My homie that I brought passed out every night. He made me make it to the last two concerts And then cleverness brother was just chilling. I'm saying Yeah, Clef was lit and then you could tell him this brother. They was getting there They really couldn't hang that well, but but Saturday rolled out to about 4 a.m. Hmm Sunday will make up early go to this bullshit. Now.  So what they have is like they had like they owned this little island carnival or whatever They take you out you got to get on this boat to go from the cruise ship to the ocean to the beach Now this boat probably fits 300 people made 200 people But the last one leaves the island at 115 to go back to the boat Now, I don't know why I was so early on why it couldn't been to like the sunset But you know, we woke up at like 10 o'clock So we didn't get on this first initial boat to go to the island till about 11 So we stayed on the beach. I was swimming for probably 45 minutes. That's why I'm sunburn But to wait to go back to get on this boat to go back to the cruise ship was brutal Because everybody had to leave at the same time and it was just it was nice I probably waited just stood there in the sun for probably an hour waiting to get on this boat That was brutal riding the boat back was brutal It was bad. So I went there took a shower took a nap got ready for the last night Sunday night City girls and who else ever went to the club Sunday night was a good night went to the club Then I went to the casino Lost the fastest hundred dollars in my life Every first one once again, I cleft asleep his little brother passed out But the second night they didn't make it to like 3 a.m. or something It's a long weekend, but um Yeah, the line was bad. It was terrible But so then the next night major casino lost money, whatever now I want to now I will tell you I was my first cruise my first time in Miami my first time on the islands in the middle of July It was not it was not the move really Like I don't know why you guys. I don't know if um You guys like the heat I myself. I don't really like the heat You know, I don't like the sun. I don't like the heat. I don't it's really not Really not ideal for me. But you know, some people like the beach some people like that type of thing for me myself is not the talent this is how it works now I don't know if you guys have been to clubs or this is a you know, this is pretty much club culture, you know And that's what this show turned this what this boat turned into a club. That's all I was, you know It was concerts. There was DJs. There was you know, the actual nightclub, right? But it turned into um Yeah, I really had no one to black for but So this is how club works, right? And I don't know if you guys know quality control I don't know if you guys know about like what qc is but qc is Atlanta this big like record company I guess or whatever But the owner that is qcp The next guy p I think his name's like pier or whatever. I don't know what his name is But he liked the ceo of quality control, but he was on the boat, right? And then on top of heaven all these big headliners They had some other singers and rappers and stuff like that So they were on the boat too Now when you get into the club with singers and rappers and and ceos of quality control and they buy all the bottles And they buy all the sections that's pretty much where the top tier talent on the boat tends to flock towards And I mean, it's just it's just typical that women tend to flock towards money and flash especially in a club atmosphere So as a regular human being Without this much money and this much cloud and this You know, you kind of got to give up on the 9s and 10s and 8s If those 7s and 6s is straggling around you you might have to go to them More than likely in a club scenario if you are a regular human being You are going to be around the 4s and 5s And you got to accept that because you're not going to be able to keep up with quality control p And all the other rappers and all these other people that are probably getting comped all these bottles are buying So you got to stay in the 4s and 5s. Yeah, the stragglers exactly see And that's kind of how the boat became Uh, and like I said, I was full back really in the way of block 4 But you know, that's Also the thing about the boat was yeah, I got on there for free You could eat for free, but the only you could eat for free was pizza all the way in the back, which was bullshit You know what I'm saying?  So in three days, I probably ate 15 cheeseburgers But that is not like that and they had a seafood in the back But the thing with the seafood was it cost extra the burgers and stuff are included Now what wasn't included was liquor You know and and Part of me I wish it was some drink package. Now you guys have been on cruises before Bunch of drink packages. I wish there was a drink package. You know, I really do I think that would help me immensely If there was a drink package because I at the bar I'll show you guys This was oh my gosh So me at the bar I spent a Good little bit of money As long as I said no drink package. So you gotta go to bar now. I wasn't super unreasonable a beer was like seven dollars Uh, what else a beer was seven dollar a mixed drink Maybe 12 maybe 10 something like that. That was pretty much I didn't think that was terrible. I really didn't Uh, the one thing At the second day, you will see here. I just bought pictures. I didn't buy regular drinks I was just like give me pictures give me all that extra stuff and this was my bar tab at the end of three days Three nights. This was my bar tab three nights on the boat bar tab was seven hundred eighty nine dollars and fifteen cents Which is I thought was pretty wild. I mean I going under the trip. I was pretty much cool with being down If I didn't spend a thousand dollars, you know, I think I would have been cool So just spending this a little bit of money. I lost in the casino And saying so to me, I thought I was cool what I spent If there was a drink package five hundred, but it's been eight hundred dollars on straight liquor.  I'm sunburned.  It's like Not really my twist, you know, so But it was cool. I'm glad I got the opportunity to go there for free. I didn't do anything There was no man tournament. They didn't promote it in the order. They were like, oh, we're not just not gonna have it so I don't know. I was cool. I'm saying so Yeah, cleft gonna bring a sippy cup next time. He'll be all right. No cleft I'll get cleft. He probably he probably gets six out of ten because he rolled out two nights Uh, really wasn't on the hose. He was chilling so But he rolled out two of the three nights, so it might get a six six point five You know what I am No, no man tournament. There are any man tournament any video games. I y'all saw me practicing for 2k They gave us none of that. So it was definitely pretty crazy Uh, but it was cool. I'm very happy. I got to go you know, so but between Going on this cruise and spending $800 on liquor Vegas the weekend before it was now that I think about it was probably more than that so I probably spent $2,000 in the last two weeks on alcohol and My body's tired. Like these are not vacations. They're like They're like just obstacle courses for your body and I'm really tired and that's saying It's just it's been rough. So I'm definitely happy to be home chill a little bit Definitely going to relax a little bit before madden 20 because after that that's definitely going to be nice non-stop madden 20 But madden 20 the biggest news for madden 20 was pretty much these uh, sub only streams You know and a lot of people were talking about him last week probably when they were announced I think um And what do I think about initially you say ooh now people have to pay to watch me play madden And that's pretty cool, but you know Obviously the y'all you guys that are listening to this you guys that are in the chat now you guys are probably already subbed So it's really not gonna You know affect you guys because if you're listening to the madden stuff at the end of the summer, then it's definitely um You're a fan of madden and myself. So Uh, you'll probably already be Like award I appreciate you so but as far as you know how madden is madden There's probably I'm probably the highest streamer right now easily talking about stuff Because it's the middle of summer. No one's watching madden. Now when madden starts, they'll probably be 50,000 or I would say 30,000 new viewers of twitch watching madden Now where will these people go?  Why? And if you think your answer is because i'm good at madden that that will never be the answer That's not why these new 30,000 people want to watch. They don't want to watch somebody. That's just good at madden You know, so Although you will get the same hundred people Subments just to watch you play for sure But ultimately that's not going to make you enough money to make you think it's it's Viable, you know people always say I'll stream if I get you know 200 subs might be $800 700 a month, you know, is that going to be worth it? Then you know winning majors and stuff like that people won't Like it's not that people want to watch somebody I'm saying at the end of the day. There's always people that are good at madden But if you're not good, I'm not going to talk about what a stream really is a What what a good stream is involved. I'm not really that's not really my source. That's not what it is. But my problem is um, my problem is the biggest is uh Just people thinking that it's going to make them want to stream You know, all the all the competitive players before Think you know, I would I don't people get support from playing mad and the same Like I said in 30,000 organic viewers are not going to support just a competitive player that makes you pay to watch That's never going to be successful, man. So I don't think it's really going to change. I think obviously it's going to help people with established followings Um, I already have a bunch of ideas of what that could be used on So it's definitely going to be a good idea, man so I'm excited about it. I'll definitely be using it. Um Yeah, but the thing is The pros don't stream but not this isn't going to be a big enough incentive for them to stream But I'm excited for it. Definitely a lot of ideas. I have with it and I'm going to go ahead and uh Keep them rolling the man 20 man 20 is one of the big year Can't wait honestly till it keeps going man. It really will be something special Uh, like I said, my voice is about 90 percent. It was a long weekend. So I'm not trying to be talking here for two hours so, uh Now the last topic Is pretty much about top madden And problem in all the movements he has made and people he added to his little team now If you guys haven't seen who problem added to the top madden team We can take a look at that together So we'll go down here. What's the problem? I have to say uh, blah, blah, blah about these new people that are on top madden Which uh, for the most part Chat for the most part this is pretty uh This is pretty cut and dry. I pretty much could could have told you this before the season and And so on and so forth. So you get obviously joe rice and crush our kids friends. They are the 818s Uh, the guys that can't dress or don't have good haircuts. They are kids buddies, you know, so um So they were pretty much you could have just that was right on the wall, bro and then uh Pavin and henry and and alan obviously henry and prom are pretty close So, you know, you figured those guys would probably go over there and out of these these guys very good man players for sure. Um But then we have goals No ghost brian james as he called himself My man ghost brian james said he's leaving cleveland for you know, that's emb And he's going to miami, which is top madden But for me, I don't know man Mr. Ghost was mr. emb for two years man. He was emb. He was or was you know what i'm saying and uh Now all of a sudden that's pretty much done. He's not mr. emb anymore And um He is top man I'm done it there is in the building commissioner down there is somebody pushing pennies. So Ghost is now top madden. So I don't know what happened with ghosts and his buddies All his buddies and emb and those guys. I don't know. I guess they just had a falling out or they just had I don't know what happened. I always thought emb was like They were the closest team, you know, I felt like they were always Going to be together between all them guys in new york and new jersey. I thought they'd be really tight And I don't know something must have happened. I don't know ghost is in the chat So I wish we would know on what ghost was thinking not hanging out with emb anymore Um Which was pretty low and um And essentially calling top madden uh miami heat now. I'll be honest problem He got every person in the man community. I mean it really is emb and then me skimbo and though man clef You know, that's pretty much what it's become Ghost ghosts won't give an interview or maybe mad about ghosts and then see joke Who is emb my man joke called him out He's like I get the best of three. Let's go by the the best of three for five thousand dollars at the first major Now joke is known to do this and nothing come of it for a long time So all in all, you know, I'm really not this is This is really not a big deal to me. Like I said, it happens a lot. He does it all the time and no one ever plays But the biggest deal for me, right Was that ghost didn't say anything to this He waited for he waited for his father now for problem. He waited for problem He waited for his boss to tell him to talk to him See, I don't see to me. I don't like that if you're going to take The initiative to leave your team caught him cleveland. You can't wait for the boss to talk for you You know saying you can't wait for that I felt like that was a bad move by ghost man Because listen if I was in bi'd be upset You know I don't know. I just I'm a little different and that problem is my friend like a lot. That's my guy for real I would love to work with him. I would love to make money with him. I'm saying but for me He's also the person I want to beat all the time. He's the person that said the pinnacle of man So I kind of want to be him. I don't you know what I'm saying No matter if he has a bad year man, no matter if he's you know, not even playing man as much He's still the person I want to beat the most really or the person I want to be better than Not only on the game but in like business and everything I'm saying so to me. It's like I would never and I don't have to talk to a problem about this too I would never like join forces with him because I think it's all I don't know. He's just I feel like me myself. I can do a lot.  That's that's that's pretty crazy You know That's all Yeah, he beat problem and it's like, I don't know It it would take It would take a lot for me to like not kick it with my homies anymore and that's like and that's why part of my What I always wanted was just everybody I just with my friends with regardless Before I had a lot of money before, you know, like between Vilma and Kent bomb ass Like these guys were just my friends. So it's like I don't think they would ever I don't know.  I don't know Yeah, business is business and it's not personal me myself. I've always I don't want to say I felt the opposite, but I feel like a relationship is important Especially when you're just starting something off like When we're all growing together, honestly, I feel like relationships aren't important you know so And I feel like me myself. I always have good relations. I feel I have good relationships with everybody um professionally and personally so I don't know.    I swear to God. I'm sorry. I hate all these kids now, man Nobody has to fight no more man Kylie I'm in morning building. Thank you for the sub and I'll see this stuff and it makes me just I'm just close to being all the way back back this close to being all the way back It's close I just need one more kicker now. I promise you No, I ain't like that shit, man so And at some point Well, first of all, I have clef because I legitimately believe in clef outside of outside of Like outside of it's not even a man thing like we all know clef is is is great at the game We all know that But it's not even like a man if clef was playing checkers. I believe in them You know what I'm saying? It's not about what he can find on man. How he can play mad I try to tell him that all the time. It's it's so much bigger than being good at mad, you know Ghost won't get on doing interview ghost is ghost ghost man check ghost. How can I get an interview ghost? What's up? He's not doing anything right now. He's sitting on the house playing fortnight or something Ghost what's up check in Tell you man Man clef is the man. I already know between me and clef. It's a lot of similarities and that's why we won't continue to grow That's why I listen. I don't I can't just add everybody man. It's like As I don't believe in everybody the same way Ghost what's the discord?  I didn't just leave for no reason.  I gotta help him for what Now what happened When did things with this mb crew start going a little sour? It's not even the crew. I'm I'm cool with most of them. I'm cool with I'm still cool with most of them it's just it's little man a couple other people and Like when somebody gives me like Bad attitude and stuff. I'm not just gonna sit there and take it Especially when I'm helping somebody I've literally helped the kid make I've helped the guy make so much money on madden and he he's just so disrespectful at all times okay, now all right, so At what point did you think I don't want to do with EMB? At what point did that thought process go through your mind? Bro, I was about to leave months ago. It wasn't just a one-day decision and this And this top madden thing It's that's business, bro. It's nothing to do with anything else. So I'm cool. I'm cool a problem, but it's business Now this is what I'll tell you did um Dormant was like I'm leaving EMB dormamble when you were there or what? Yeah, I didn't I bra Like right after madden. Okay. Okay All right, so I know you still root for you for your EMB guys a lot this year I'm saying y'all had a lot of good moments and y'all was all going together. I'm saying so at what point is like I feel like y'all became a crew. So what point was it like, you know, I don't really want to kick it with them Like because I feel like if them feelings are genuine that y'all happy for each other to win Why don't you want to stay with them and keep that same happiness? Yeah, I don't know. I just didn't feel like it was best for me. Just because Like when I'm in the crew Like I can't even you know hide a couple things for myself. They always want to know everything and which is fine I don't I don't mind. I'll help them if if I'm cool with you. I don't mind helping you That's why I play with people. I'm just cool with now. I don't got time for Fake personalities.   I'm saying because I mean and that's you being friends with somebody Imagine not even being friends with them and then they expect you to still help them. Yeah, it's pretty wild because Me I have a lot of pride as a man player. I feel like I can find a lot of shit on my own You understand, so I'm not necessarily a person to be like, yo, teach me this teach me that You know, that's that's never really been me But is that how you feel like a lot of what emb was people asking you for help all the time or just little man No, not all the emb just Just a little man, bro And it's just it's just a it's just a couple things rubbed me the wrong way. That's it and I was done I'm not gonna get into detail now. I feel like Me as a man player I've always felt like problem was the person I want to be and compete with all the time So for me, I never ever wanted to ever be on his team regardless of how close we are in person I never want to be part on his team. I feel like that's the person I need to beat and surpass in every aspect of men Now tell me about your thought process in that because I know obviously you are you beat him for your championship And it's always been a rival especially me I don't like that too. Like like people are saying top man's not really a crew. It's like business But at the same time, it's a crew You understand it's hard to differentiate that, you know what I mean? It's hard to differentiate that Yeah, well the people I play with every day are the people I consider my crew journey Prodigy rage. Those are those are the people I consider You know my crew But at the same time when we get to these events and you got all-time man cheering for you You want cheer for all-time man, right? Just like you were EMB in the past.  It's a crew So it's definitely uh, I'm telling you That's my biggest point is I understand what you're saying, but it's hard to differentiate The two It's not like I joined top mad knowing like uh, there was people in there that I wouldn't like I'm okay with I'm cool with Pretty much everyone that's in there Like it's not Well, I don't I don't Yeah, I mean he's close. He's like Tell you he's close to a little man because the way that because that's what Oh, yeah, well maybe forgive not for me. He's not gonna come out asking me For for stuff All right, I don't even make sure because you know, Wesley don't really make up his own stuff and everything I'm saying so But all right, so you top mad now. So how is that going to what's going to be different for your outlook on this year?  So so how does it feel? And what's the same goal? Same goal My goal was always to win two tournaments in one year. That's my goal Is that is that pretty much is that the the pinnacle for goals?  Yeah What's that mean NFL teams? What do you mean by that? Just like signing players and stuff like that like right now Yeah, we can't really do much but play better Okay, you can do a lot of it. I'm playing better than we want to podcast right now This is the needed podcast y'all can have the top man podcast You can have the top man in the stream and you could be streamer goals You could be Jesus Christ. You could get to the real money goals. You could maximize your spotlight that you have right now Do you care to do that? Do you want to spotlight what man has given you or you want to just continue to try to win? Bro You know my goal. I'm always about winning. Okay. I'm about winning I understand I believe in but so now now you call EMB Cleveland. So like This top man now Is top man better outlook? Is it does you think it's going to get better? Are you want to become a better player now being around those guys? No, not really. It's just I just did that to take a jab at them and They took 500 jabs at me and couldn't take one. So what were the jabs that they uh do your way? Bro, look on twitter. They were trying to say uh all this stuff.  All right. How do you feel about that? That's what You wanted he can get it.  Why did you have to wait for problems to reply to that? Is that like top man? You got to wait for problem to do things for you?  That's why everybody's talking about it It's not gonna happen. You want you want to call me on person at the first major. I'll be there I never duck dodged nobody in my life. Okay. Okay, see now You know, like you said it always happens on twitter Joe been trying to play somebody for five thousand for five years And I don't think it has ever happened. So We shall see how that goes so Shoot, so do you like I said, do you feel like now you have better people to play with and you're gonna become a better player than you were? No, like I said, I really at the end of man, you know, manbo I didn't really even play and be anymore. I was just playing drini prodigy and and ray Those are the people I've played with I I just made the decision. I'm just gonna play with people. I'm cool with and I was cool with jug. I'm still all right with him.  So what happens the first week kiv hit you up like yo ghost I need help with my office man.  Can you help me? What do you say? kiv wouldn't ask me. All right. This is this is a what if type of show here goes. All right Well, that's what we talk about. You understand are you want to help do all right? What did joe rice hit you up? I need help I ain't helping nobody that Don't do nothing back in return. That's just how it is. Hmm Interesting interesting now goes out See, I'm disappointed that you ain't hit me up. So you could join join my crew. I'm saying I use a free agent You supposed to inquire all your all your avenues. I'm saying you ain't really go do that You just listen to one offer and left and the worst part was a text goes Right, and then he just left me on reeve for three weeks.  So me I feel like man, you are close man I that was a little disrespectful. I felt upset about that. You know what I'm saying? Because you could have been needed gaming ghost, but you know what I'm saying? You ain't even asked my tech spec bruh Stop saying that stuff.   You never know what you could have got. So you man you could listen. Did you hit up Lazarus? Lazarus, why would I be hitting up? No, I am talking with e-sport teams already I'm already I'm still talking to these four teams. Listen. All right. Let's you know Lazarus Listen, if you if you join Lazarus, you get to pink jersey is going to elevate you ghost. You know what I'm saying? Jesus, I think that's the way to go man. So ultimately are you happy with your decision? Do you feel refreshed that you're no longer being held down by the little man? Um weight that was on your shoulders It's just not it's not just little man. I'm just letting you know. It's just he was the major He was the main the main person So there was nobody else who else who else started to annoy you? No, I I'm not calling All right, that's all I'm gonna say and all I'm gonna say is ghost prod James is winning two belts next year Oh my god. See you can't see chat. That's why you can't just give anybody a platform to just say anything they want Jesus all right. Well, I mean It's definitely I think problem has too many people Uh They got too many people.  This is ghost is new discord name. What? Little wild little wild All right chat, but that was ghost can't let it can't let anybody get on here and just say anything What am I doing? No, I'm on the wrong one Can't let anybody get on here and just say anything but It's interesting man. So ghost pretty much said little man needed all his help And he never helped him out and he wasn't his friend so Um But like I said, I would personally I want to beat problem. I want if I was LeBron I want to beat Jordan if I was Kobe. I would want to beat LeBron. That's just How I feel and we shall see how it turns out man It's hard everybody I talked to on top man. They try to say it's all about business Like I said, it's hard to differentiate the two you can be a crew and business. It's kind of the same thing really You know, I'm really sunburned from that damn crews Shady chat. Yeah, maybe we should get a little man in here here to his side of the party I don't know. I don't know where little man is Maybe next week we can get a little man on the party, but my voice is going it hurts Uh, definitely had a long week and uh Man, I appreciate ghosts coming on talking about top man talking about all that extra stuff I really went well, you know Interesting to see how it works, especially the vents man. It's going to be weird I always thought it was weird like I was it was weird seeing Joel cheer for kiv and Joel cheer for top man That's going to be weird having like joker root against ghosts and And ghost root for kiv and that's just gay like It's just weird chat. I feel like that part would be weird You know, so to me Definitely going to be weird seeing that but it's going to make for a great a great mcs season and it's going to be a great time man this Listen, my voice is almost gone. This was the needed podcast episode 37 um I appreciate ghost hopping on here real quick And uh talking about the situation ready for man 20 We probably have three more weeks before man 20 I just want to go to sleep tomorrow and be able to download the game when I wake up Or how about have it downloaded while I'm asleep when I wake up ready to play man 20?

I'm probably going to play this new apex because it's season two So hit the like button comment below man Or if you think ghost was was he a little scummy for leaving em b and going with problem That's a little wild, but we shall see how it turns out man


If you're watching this now, there's a good chance that you have a pretty good idea of what you want to do with the rest of your life. There's also a chance that you have no idea what you want to do with the rest of your life. Now myself, when I was 18 years old and I was thinking about going to college, I was the first. I had a really good idea of what I wanted to do. I am a child of the 80s, MTV Generation, and I knew I wanted to study film and I wanted to become a music video producer. So I did. I went to study film at university. And when I got out of university, I knew exactly what I didn't want to do, and that was make music videos. So because I became very interested in things like advertising and marketing and that sort of stuff. So what I did is I got a job with Time Warner, which is a big media company making advertisements. And I did that for about three or four years. But I wasn't really happy with where I was because I moved back to my hometown in Texas. So I decided I want to go somewhere else but do the same thing. And I got a job offer at Time Warner in New York City. New York City. So they flew me out there to check out the place, got off the plane. No disrespect. It was New Jersey. It was not New York City. It was nowhere near New York City. I was like, I want to live in New York City. And I said, some reveal New Jersey. It's only an hour away. So I decided I didn't want to do that. And I had met a guy who was living in Prague and I thought that sounds great. Because if I stay here, if I come to New Jersey, people are nice. The place is nice. The work is nice.   And I said, you know what, maybe I'll just escape. I'll escape growing up for a year. So I came to Prague. And I came to Prague with the intention of working here, just teaching English like everybody else for about a year and then going back to the US and continuing my career. That one year turned into three years. And after three years, I said, this is it. I got to stop. And so I thought, you know what, I'm going to be a salesman. I got the opportunity to be a salesman. And I was like, ah, this is it. This is what I should do. It's in my blood. My dad's a salesman. I'm going to be a salesman. And I did it. And it was terrible. It was an awful experience. Almost from day one I hated every minute of it. And so after about a year of that, I said, I can't do this anymore. And I decided to go back and try teaching again because I still wanted to live in Prague. I loved it here. And so I went back and it was completely different. I had a different position working with a different firm. I was doing a little bit of different stuff. I was still teaching English, but I was also teaching trainers. And I was able to make my own programs. And for the first time, I was actually able to own my job. I was owning what I was doing. And that moment I thought back to when I was 21 and I graduated, I thought to myself, I don't really know what I want to do with the rest of my life. But this is what my 21 year old said. My 21 year old self, he said, I don't know what I want to do, but I know that by the age of 27, I'm going to be in the right career. And by the age of 47, I'm going to be at the top of that. So at the age of 27, I found myself in Prague teaching English. I said, wait a second, this is my career? Well, a couple of years later, I got a couple of different jobs. And in the end, I find myself now at the age of 43, teaching at a wonderful university, meeting amazing people. And I would never imagine that I would be here at this stage in my career. I thought I was going to be making music videos and I thought I was going to be making advertisements and marketing. Then I thought I was going to be in sales. And each time, I tried it and it just wasn't for me and I had to give it up. And it's really hard to give something up that you've been working for, working really hard on. But it just, it was right, it felt right here. And when I got to teaching, especially the second time, it really felt like the right thing to do. And I guess what I'm trying to say is people will tell you what to do and they'll tell you what career to have. And you'll tell yourself what career you want to have. But whenever the opportunity comes to do what you feel is right, take it.  And just, you know, it's going to be fine. You're going to be fine.


Exercise Sea Breeze 2015 comes to an end in Odessa, Ukraine after two weeks of various training and operational events. This was the 14th iteration of Sea Breeze, and I believe it was the best one yet. No one person, military service, government agency or nation is as good as a coalition of willing partners working together. This training we just completed improved our ability to respond to crisis, increased our tactical proficiency and, most importantly, brought us even closer as partners and friends. Sea Breeze 2015 is a combined air, land and maritime exercise designed to improve maritime safety, security and stability in the Black Sea. Specialist, Raul Pacheco, Odessa, Ukraine.
