Why hello there. I'm Sandy all lock. I'm an artist and I work in a lot of different mediums today It's gonna be ink because I got this lovely little care package from Ferris wheel press They reached out to me a few weeks back on Instagram and asked if I'd consider being part of their team as an affiliate and Promoter of their inks and they just have lovely inks. I Think their bottles are gorgeous. Their design is gorgeous. Their boxes are gorgeous for their products Their website is gorgeous. It's just something that really resonates with me and when they asked I was like, oh my gosh Yes, so I got three bottles of ink to play with and I'm gonna be doing that today I'm gonna swatch all of the inks show you a little bit about how I swatch when I get a fountain pen ink in the studio and Yeah, we'll do that and then I'm gonna do like a piece of I'm gonna call it Rorschach art so I wanted to test some properties in one of the inks and We're gonna see if I can make a painting out of it I'll let you be the judge at the end if it came out. Okay, let's get started So let's begin by swatching the colors I do this with all of my fountain pen inks whether I'm going to just put them in a pen and write with them Or if I'm gonna paint with them This one's called Sherry Sonata And it has kind of a brick color that goes out to a very pale pink when it's watered out But the bottles themselves are just gorgeous. I think they're really really pretty and well designed They have hexagon lids. I mean who has hexagon lids. Is that perfect for me or what? so the second one here the tiny bottle is knitted nettle and What I'd recommend is going to their website and just check out all of their Stories behind these because they they have like little fairy tale stories behind all the colors. It's just it's very sweet So this one is called a Rory Alice like Aurora borealis without the bore and It's a very pretty purple color I'm gonna be working mostly with that in the art piece. That's gonna be in the second part of this video Lovely design on the bottle of course So I'm propping up my board because I want these to run at an angle Every time I swatch these inks. I put down water I put the ink at the top let it run down because I want to see What the color changes to be some of them like just as they get thinner They change into a completely different color Some of them are just a paler version of the original and it's helpful to know if you're gonna paint with them and Just do a light wash of something. What will that light wash be and while this one looks like a brick It actually turns into a very very pale pink When it's very watered out and I'll show you a snippet of my next video Which is gonna focus on that pale pink and that will be coming up on Saturday So I'm gonna just take some of the excess liquid from the bottom here soak that up so it doesn't run down and Move on to knitted nettle and put the water on there knitted nettle remembers the turquoise one I'm gonna paint that into the top section let it run and see what that turns into Now I also like to know a little bit about how much How dark these colors get when they're really really dark I will do some writing over top of this so I can see on my swatches What the full range of the color is because since I'm painting this into wet paper. I'm not getting a full Dark at the very top edge, but you'll see why I don't do usually a very top That top swatch without the water first Except for what I just did with a Rory Alice and that kind of messed up what you'll see later in my Swatch because I kind of like to have a little bit lighter color at the top for a reason I always test out what my inks will do with bleach and that little thing where I had to add the water later is Why my next step doesn't really work all that well But I left it anyway because I'm not one to waste a swatch of paper So paint out a little bit at the bottom so the water keeps moving and then I'm gonna dry it all completely and move on to the next phase and the next phase is Going to be testing to see what will lift these inks now There are some inks that are permanent and waterproof and nothing will lift from them if they are not waterproof then We're gonna get some water droplets that are going to lift and So I'm just gonna sprinkle a little bit of water on each one and let it sit there for a second or two or longer and Then I'm gonna see if it lifts up Because that's gonna tell me whether I can use some water techniques to do that with and how bright is it? is it gonna lift just a little bit or is it going to lift a lot and the Sherry Sonata and the Rory Alice lift wonderfully, but the knitted metal doesn't do all that much lifting just very very small amount So it's not one that's going to To work with lifting techniques now this is bleach Just regular old Clorox laundry bleach nothing special about it just using a pipette to put a little bit of it on to each one of these pieces let it sit there for a second and Some inks react with it and some inks don't again. It's helpful to see what happens Now with both the Sherry Sonata and the knitted metal it does lift So I definitely get some lift to it a little less with the knitted metal But I got a bluish color when I got to the Rory Alice and that one I wanted to explore more which is why in the second part of this video. I decided to use that color so what I'm doing here is using bleach in a little bowl and a Glass pen to dip into it to write the names into the area at the top And that was why I try not to have the color too solid on here just because it makes the bleach react better if it's not kind of trying to bore through super thick ink and if the Lifting is not all that great then You can't really see that so then I have to write it with a pen But the knitted metal kind of didn't show up anything and the Aurora or Rory Alice is Just kind of struggling because it had that ink that went straight onto the paper it didn't have any water to mitigate it But then I take a regular dip pen And I just do some scribbling over top of the color So I can see what that color of ink looks like when I just draw with it or if I'm going to write with it I want to know what color that is and how dark it is and Does it show up if I have a wash of something underneath of it? And that is how I create all of mine I have a whole book full of all of my ink swatches that have these kind of tests to them and everything's done fairly consistently So I always have some water lifting and that sort of thing a Rory Alice has that shimmer I mentioned and I'll try to get a better look at it later at the end of this piece But now on to the crazy Worshack art and it's not gonna be a folded in half sheet like true Worshack but I'm just gonna splatter some water onto my paper and Start to see what happens when I drip some color into it So I just dipped my brush into the bottle itself to grab just a whole bunch of ink and throw it in here probably a little much ink ink is Like more potent I guess than watercolor So if you're new to working with inks and trying to paint with them You don't need nearly as much as you would with watercolor. You can see it's just kind of Crazy amount of pigment here. You might love that which would be great, but it also could be a little bit much So just remember your fountain inks are going to be more pigmented So you want to be a little more gingerly when you add color to them But I wanted enough color in here because what I wanted to add in here was bleach Before I had tested the wet bleach on dry paper and here I wanted to see what would happen when it's bleach dropped into wet color that's still moving and Boy, was that exciting to see that blue just pop out of there And I wanted to turn this into something. I didn't know what it was gonna be, you know Worshack style and Just kind of let the color do what it's gonna do and then dried it And I kept turning it different ways different directions while I was drying it to try to see what I saw in it You know, was it going to be a vertical painting? Was it going to be horizontal? Did I see a face in it? Are there flowers? You know, what exactly and maybe you can guess and see what you see in there What I ended up painting was a bunch of grapes Maybe I had purple on the brain and figured that that would work But I saw a few round shapes and I think that was maybe where it really did start Whenever I get to the Highlight sides where there's white. I can just draw my lines around it. So it looks like if I were to have Drawn the pen lines first and then inked it with the color Then it looks like I stopped nice and short and left myself whites But here since I'm doing the pen work afterward. I couldn't just kind of leave those whites and make it look like I'm magic if I were to try to Paint this after doing the line drawing all those lines would disappear because this is not waterproof ink So I've shaken up the bottle so that as I add more of the purple it went more the darker thicker richer color in there So that I can try to get some of that shimmer So I had it shaken up again to make sure that if there's any opportunity to get some shimmer Then that will show up because generally My experience with inks and paints that have shimmer in them you have to have enough pigment for it to really shimmer Because if it's just a bare minimum amount, you don't get much shine at all And for the most part with most things you don't see the shimmer unless you turn the thing sideways So it's really hard to get pictures of I Decided I wanted to put a shadow underneath of it Maybe make these grapes sit on a table of some kind and this whole time. I had no idea really where this was headed I wasn't sure if it was going to work out or if this was just going to be an experiment to have fun with and play around with Dropped in a little more bleach here and there added in some more ink here and there Just kind of playing around. I wanted to watch the color move and see what I could make out of it at the bottom section I just kind of let it run and Painted right over some of the grapes to darken them so that they're in shadow and then dried the whole section so that it would stop moving for a while I could stop and breathe and think okay, what do I want to do to it next and When the paper is completely flat this cold press arches watercolor paper. It's completely flat. Then it's completely dry so now I want to go in and Add you know some of the lines that washed away earlier I want to add them back in and I want to put a little bit more color in some of the shadow areas So instead of dipping the brush into the ink and putting a ton of it in there I decided to just scribble a little bit and then use some water and a small brush to move it around so I can Get smaller sections because I got a little bit carried away earlier. That was not necessarily a best idea But then moved over to the bottom section just added more darks more definition of some of the grapes and You can see there's some texture in the the purple Some of that is because I sprayed it I didn't get that part on camera But I took a spritzer and just sprayed the whole thing because remember we get some lift out of that So you can add really interesting textures when the ink is one that lifts and a realist is one that does So it is quite lovely. I Went in with a brush and just water clean water So I can add in some texture into specific grapes and Lift some specific colors testing to see if I could lift it out of the bleached out color, too or did it only lift from the purple and then I added some purple into the Some of the areas that I wanted to add darks in and then used a brush That just had some water on it to move that color around just get some interesting texture out of it At the beginning of this video I said I would let you be the judge of whether or not I turned my Rorschach blob Into something reasonable and this almost looks like maybe it was planned Even if not completely because I think it kind of looks like the blob fits The adaptations with all the different textures and things I think really helped and having the two tones in it Made a huge difference because they look like they're glowing. There's one that looks like it's just Reflecting off the table surface Which is fun. I might want to play with that some more So keep an eye on my social media if you want to see more play time with this ink and maybe some of the others as well I did try as I said to get a little Clip of the shimmer It's a goldish shimmer. You can't really see it much on camera.

Right you guys what is going on and welcome back to another rugby player reacts to American football video today's video is a first actually I'm gonna be I'm gonna be reacting if I can get my words straight to a New Zealander who has just committed to a four year full ride scholarship to an NCAA college football program how incredible is that I don't know how many New Zealanders have played football at a Div 1 college but what I do know is that there is currently zero although now there's two but there was zero a week ago zero New Zealanders might be a load of Australians who've gone through Pro Kick they're in America now but there's been no New Zealanders and I was really really surprised because you know Australia's so close to New Zealand and I guess I was disappointed too because at the end of the day every punter that goes through Pro Kick they're all being called Aussies, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie that's all they are they're all being called Aussies they're all being called rugby players and at the end of the day we all know that New Zealand is better than Aussie at rugby and we're actually a different country we're not connected so guys so what I'm hoping guys at the end of the day is that these two guys from New Zealand can hold it down for us in the world of top level college football next year because at the end of the day I'm so sick of hearing those commentators call New Zealanders Australians just being completely unaware completely unaware guys if they started quoting that a New Zealand rugby player was playing American football that would be music to my ears I would absolutely love that and I feel like if these two guys play the cards right well we could be seeing them following in the likes of Mitch Wichnowski and Michael Dixon's journey and I guess that's what this journey is about but not for everybody not every kicker is going into that program thinking I want to make the NFL and of course not every kicker will in fact I mean there's 150 top level college football programs and yet two or three of those kickers get drafted to the professionals so you've got to be in the top one or two percent of kickers to actually make it to the next level and I guess the level that you go to is going to be completely up to you and the work that you put in now this guy Finn Rudd, Finn Rudd like I was saying before I don't know where I went off on a tangent but basically about a week ago I saw a news report come up on the six o'clock news and it was talking about a New Zealander who has committed to a full ride four year scholarship and the name was Finn Rudd and I thought you know what, fuck I recognise that name, I've messaged that guy before, yeah he's a New Zealander who's playing Juco football and I assume by the look of this news story he's finally been able to transfer from the Juco to a Div 1 school and so in total he's looking at a six year college football career extremely interesting journey due to the fact that you know I talked to Finn about 12 months earlier whilst he was at Juco playing American football, being a punter, off of his own back, I don't know the full story so what I've done is I've reached out to him again and said congratulations on achieving the scholarship but also you know telling him that I'm going to make this video and I want to make it in depth and I want to tell a story the way that he wants to be told because at age 21 having done what he's done backing himself not going through Pro Kit being offered the Pro Kit program but deciding to save that money and actually use it on his studies at a Juco instead and just back as talent I mean this guy is a legend already in my books and hopefully after reading his story he's going to be even more of a legend so guys his name is Finn Rudd, he is from New Zealand and believe it or not he's actually in Christchurch right now I'm in Christchurch, he's in Christchurch, there's about 20 minutes across town from me so after making this video, putting it together, putting it out on YouTube, depending on when he's leaving to the States to start his college football career we might catch up for a kick and in which case I'll take the camera down and that will be a pretty fucking cool video pretty cool man you know a dip like yeah I mean I don't know how it's going to go down I don't know what we're going to do we might do a challenge a challenge video or something fun but yeah definitely look out for that so with that being said let's type this guy's name into Google please don't be wasting my time with that business who you kidding man yeah yeah yeah yeah see what comes up, there we go May the 4th which was two and a half weeks ago there's a news report on stuff.co.nz the national online news reporter Kiwi, Finn Rudd lands division one scholarship after taking A. New Zealander Finn Rudd has landed a division one college scholarship as a kicker in American football trustworthy accurate and reliable news Highland community Finn Rudd, UC Davis, that's where he's going he's 6'3", wow I did not know that um okay there he is, the big man holding it down for the Kiwis oh fantastic alright we've got a few links here that we're going to read through after reading through the document that he's sent me so I'm going to go Athletes USA with his junior college profile we're going to go Scotty Athletics Highland Community College Athletics I'm going to open that one we'll go the UC Davis Athletics post or page where he's listed at 6'3", a sophomore Hometown Wellington High School, Lincoln High School in 2016 which is here in Christchurch alright so now we'll look at the news stories from Kiwi to Aggie Punta Rudd adds worldly flair Kiwi kicker a step closer to NFL Dream with scholarship to top dot dot dot yep and the awesome thing is man he's done it all on his own back but we've got one more link to save Kiwi Finn Rudd lands division one scholarship okay so there we go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 stories as well as that we will go to the video form of Google which is YouTube and we'll do the same thing because if we can get some highlights that would be absolutely awesome and I've got one video at the top there but it doesn't look too good Finn Rudd football these are his he's got one subscriber well now you've got two no likes are you kidding me bro well I'll give you a first like and your first comment go hard out there go hard out there alright so we've got his highlights sweet we've got his statistics plus news stories we're ready to read I've just read the first line of the second paragraph I shouldn't do that let's go so I first discovered there was a punting kicking aspect to American football back in 2016 so that's two years before I did it was certainly a long shot but I decided to learn the ropes for about a year or two before eventually sending film out to college coaches in the United States with most coaches showing no interest at all because of my lack of experience in the game I had a select few who replied and eventually offered me a spot on the roster I like this already this was in 2019 after about four minimum wage paying jobs three years after I first started punting kicking at a field in Christchurch, New Zealand and that's where we sit right now so we heard about it back in 2016 decided to just watch the game learn what he could take the ball down to the field and practice practice practice took some game film off of his own back sent it out to colleges all the while all the while working a full time job minimum wage thinking there's got to be a better life out there than this I eventually signed with Highland Community College a small college located in a town with a population of about a thousand people you sign with Highland Community College a small college located in a town so the college doesn't have a thousand people the town has a thousand people big culture shock at first not many people could understand what I was saying and there were a lot of adjustments to be made adapting to the game wow, I mean I went to Alice Springs a town extremely remote but we had 30,000 people not 1000 that's insane bro so big culture shock no one can understand what he's saying and it's a completely different game I ended up spending 18 months at Highland Community College I played one season and gained a degree also fast forward to today and I'm signing with Tonya Davis to play for the next four years I feel like we're missing something here I wanted to hear a little bit more about his time at Highland Community College and what he did to get to the point where he signed you know, for this top school some advice I have for anyone wanting to chase their dream no matter how crazy it may seem and listen up guys I've never read this before let's see what he has to say it's just to trust your gut and do not look back at all people including my friends and family tell me that this dream was too far fetched and not possible for some kid from New Zealand set a goal figure out what you need to do in order to reach your goal and grind you will get there eventually if you want it bad enough, I promise signed Finn Rudd okay well Finn Finn, Mr Rudd Mr Rudd, no, that sounds similar to Kevin Rudd actually Kevin Rudd is a bit of a legend in Australia Finn, look, first and foremost I want to say thank you so much for sending that through it was brief but it gave us an idea of what we're looking at, next thing we're going to do is look at Finn's highlight tape which is 4 minutes and 43 seconds long after that we're going to search for and read as many news articles on this story as possible I do want to get my head round the whole entire thing, I want to give my audience a real in depth view of Finn Rudd and with all that being said guys, it's time we look at his highlights so sit back, relax and let's see some punts okay here we go, bit of a high snap we've got the four blockers coming through I don't know what they call his three linemen that have stayed are they going to move to try and block these guys my god one guy just ran straight into them what were you expecting to happen? watch this that looked like a lot of oh mate what a kick, where's that kick from out at the two yard line from the 55 and up and under end over and punt 50 yards in the fly out at the two for a kick inside the 20 oh I miss one fucking hell that looks like a huge boot where'd you kick that from from the 22 all the way to the 28 so 22 plus 28 equals 50 50 yards on the fly you've got to have at least 50 yards I'm thinking the hangtime looks at least four seconds but we will check that that was a nice punt let me see different camera angle too I like this one I wish we had some commentary so this is from 30 25 on the 22 it's the same kick yeah it's the same kick from the other angle end over end punt fair catch called on the 15 yard line from where that is on the 40 and you call it right on the 15 so that's 45 yards now these punts between the 50 yard line and probably your own 30 yard line the punts where you can get the I guess the biggest bang for your butt if you're really camped down in your red zone all you want is the biggest booming spiral you can get but when you're within a distance that if you were to kick it as hard as you could it may go for a touch back you've really got to start using I guess more positional kicks more end over end punts more punts that you're going to be aiming for a fair catch not just as much distance as possible so at this distance that looks as if he's right within that area of just trying to camp them down within their 20 that is the result you want you don't want anything crazy you just want a consistent fair catch within the 20 yard line is that right? in there so that's from the 40 all the way holy shit and again from the 40 to V did he call a fair catch? that's 52 yards on the fly so he's using direction that's another punt within the 20 from the 40 yard line easy within the 10 that's at least a 55 yard kick and another fair catch definitely got some oh I don't know about that one where is he? hang on that was about a 30 yard punt a bit of a shank came off the side of the foot yet it probably gave the best result we've seen so far let's have a look that was a shocker but he fumbles it recover it where's the kicker? let's see his celebration kicks it, sees it oh shit am I going to have to tackle someone here and no someone needs to slap him on the helmet that was a terrible snap there now where is he kicking this from? from the 8 no was it? yes from the 8 yard line to the 35 that's 57 yards excuse me number 26 in red what what gives you the right to be celebrating after that run you bet one tackle okay we got some kickoffs we've got some kickoffs and that looks like it went for a touch back which means he's not only got the distance for punting but he's also definitely got the distance for kickoffs I didn't know he did kickoffs or maybe I did that is a monstrous kick wow from the 35 boom and once again goes dead for a touch back what's this one, three touch backs what have we got here is he holding it or is he kicking it have you ever seen someone closer to blocking a kick than this number 12 did right then Finn Rudd just gets it away in time okay so he must be showing us punting, kickoffs and field goals and this must be his practice field because it says H on it and that's Hyland right we've got some sound looks like it's down at the local field looks like Christchurch sky to be fair I'm not sure where this is but that is a that's 55 that's a 55 yard kick for sure it's from the 50 guaranteed he's placed that at the 50 meter line guaranteed he's down at the rugby field placed that at half way which is 50 meters 55 yards straight through big Finn training at the home field in fact speaking of, look at that field that is pristine he's living in a town with thousands of people yet the local juco football stadium looks like that I've never played on grass or turf or a field that nice literally I'm telling you right now and this is science you walk out of the tunnel onto a field like that your speed and your power just went up 20% no shit so this is his highlight clip he's got like 100 views so he must have used this clip to send out two prospective coaches after playing his season at Highland which is all part of the plan I'm sure he had that in his head he's like right I need a season I need to get some clips, I need to put them together I need to then send them out and lo and behold he's gone and done it so fucking hell, Finn Rudd mate absolute legend let's continue from the 50 looking for backspin looking for the kick to hold up ah not like that looking to get the kicks to land within the 20 with some direction on them end over end punts they're all looking really nice actually really nice fuck that reminds me of me I swear I've made this video before that's some fucking hangtime though I gotta say that is some decent hangtime I think I'd better I think I'd better start timing some of these we'll time these last few it's a mixture of drop and spiral punts and so just as if I was a coach watching this we're gonna get the stopwatch out and we're gonna time them it's literally like after talking to this guy I went down to the field myself I said bro if you've done one thing for me you've motivated me to go down to the field right now and test my hangtime and I did that I've got consistent four second hangtimes and if you can get that up to a 4.5 I think you're in business if this is 4.5 that's fairly decent so let's have a look oh shit that was decent actually that first one was 4.45 we might be on to something here oh 4.63 damn you got some hangtime there mate alright 4.30 3.59 specifically for hangtime 4.18 4.31 4.31 4.18 so definitely every single kick there was probably over 4 seconds you don't want to be showing coaches anything less than your best if you don't have to so anyways that is his highlights Finn Rudd he's played one season of due code football and he's managed to off of his own back like I keep saying help of his coaches and recommendations and stuff but instead of going through pro kick and putting all of his trust in them paying the money etc decided to do it on his own and I respect that I really do so Finn Rudd all the best before we move on I will just have a quick look at some of your statistics on the internet so Finn has a profile on athlete USA so he's got a profile on athlete USA but no information we've got there he is the man from New Zealand lands in town with no idea no one can understand him he's a walk on believes in himself 6-2 at that point he's listed at 6-3 now number 37 £200 from Wellington New Zealand this is fucking cool man this is incredible I love this I love this shit hopefully they've got his stats they do too so he's got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 games worth of statistics he kicked a punt in 4 of the games and he kicked kickoffs in all of the games so it looks as if he was a kickoff specialist but also did some of the punting and it looks as if they play a school called Garden City which is the school that featured on Last Chance You if I'm not mistaken that's pretty cool ok so he's got 1 tackle against Dodge City 1 tackle that's awesome I wish I could see that season started 25th of August ended 26th of October we've got a total of 26 punts for 831 yards which must be an average of around about 35 net yards per punt we've got a longest punt of 45 yards during the season we've got 8 fair catches we've got 7 punts inside the 20 and 0 50 plus punts no punts were blocked no punts were blocked which is good kickoffs we've got 32 kickoff attempts with 3 touch backs for a total kickoff yards which is a statistic that I'm not sure if anyone really cares about but for the year 32 kickoffs 83 kickoff yards with 3 touch backs and if we've got 3 touch backs that means that at least 3 kicks or 3 restarts were 65 yards or longer which is a monster of a kick that was great bro that was fucking awesome Finn let's have a look at ya there he is and here we go the next one bit of a step up UC Davis Aggies University of California Davis campus 3 sophomore from Lincoln High School and he went to Highland Community College as we know have we got some stats for this year no we don't but we will and I can't wait to see it so those were his statistics and his profiles we're going to look at a couple of news stories we're going to read a couple of news stories that have come out over the years and actually no you know what all 3 of these stories are from different news outlets but they're all covering the fact that he's just signed with the university so let's read all 3 the first one we'll read is from the major online news reporting agency in New Zealand called Stuff and it looks as if they've got a video is this the special is this the special that they played on the news if it is we're in business I was hoping I'd be able to find that I don't care about coffee this is a video on Stuff someone's grabbed it from YouTube put some music behind it he's got a nice end over end punt gotta say New Zealand Wellington, New Zealand for Island here's a high snap and a kick is away it's a low kick across the field and it's going to go inside the Butler 40 and down to the 35 yard line we'll be down there that's a nice kick by Finn Rudd who is at a Wellington, New Zealand he had a high snap and he got that kick away I've got shivers guys that's incredible hearing that he's got a name called just fucking once and he's done it but we're not going to see anything we haven't seen before so let's read a few years back Wellingtonian Finn Rudd took a punt on a less travelled sporting pathway and has been getting a kick out of it pretty much ever since now this one time Kiwi High School footballer as in soccer is getting ready to step into the frenzy arena of American division one college football with his sights on one day taking a crack at the mega millions of the NFL not bad for a self taught American football punter who had never so much as picked up the pig skin before he started exploring his options at the end of high school when his time in the round ball code meandered to an unpromising conclusion Rudd now 21 and finishing up a stint as a punter kicker at the junior college level in Kansas has just landed a full scholarship to division one university of California where he will head most likely in August after the pandemic permitting the Kiwi youngster born and bred in Wellington with a touch of Canterbury thrown in wants to shout his latest accomplishments from the rooftops partly because he's justifiably proud of what he's achieved in such unusual circumstances and partly because he hopes he just might inspire other Kiwis to follow suit I'm getting shivers again man fuck me dead Rudd's sporting story is by no means your standard boy makes good progression finished up at Lincoln High just out of Christchurch in 2016 he was a passably good first 15 footballer a long way from carving out anything special in the beautiful game then thanks to the long reach of social media he discovered something that peaked his interest and changed his life three or so years later he's about to play division one college football in the US and maybe one day line up a shot at the biggest league on the planet Rudd never knew much about American football in 2016 he started reading up on a large number of Australians carving careers as kickers in Divwan College ball some had even made the NFL I saw this guy on Instagram looked up the position and saw they literally just kicked the ball that's their sole job with no knowledge of anything I went down to the park and started kicking for three years I was just kicking kicking whenever I could three years guys here in Christchurch practice makes perfect Rudd worked for a supermarket in Wellington and would spend every morning at the park kicking the football then when he moved to a grueling factory job in Rolleston Canterbury his kicking sessions moved to an evening slot see this is the story that I wanted Finn to write but stuff's done it for us but he kept at it and got better and better eventually Highland gave this driven Kiwi a shot as a punter restarter and backup fell goal man now Davis will bring him in as a likely red shirt sophomore as they groom him for their main punting role in American football the three kicking roles punter kickoffs and at goal are specialised a kicker enters the game as part of a special teams and plays only that phase a punter could go the whole season without seeing a live ball situation or not as Rudd discovered in his one and only season playing competitive football in 2019 in the third to last game of the season at Dodge he took a kickoff with 30 seconds remaining and his team up 2016 my kickoff team wasn't as flash as I thought they were the guy caught the ball came all the way down the side and I was the last man standing this is the tackle he's a huge dude 6-3-2-20 and if he scores they win I thought oh here we go I threw my body at him went for his legs and definitely got the worst end of that hit but hey we saved the game oh the tackle of the man I want to see that Highland vs Dodge college football Iowa Central vs Highland look we've got full coverage of games oh no that's 2017 um Highland Community College Highland I'd love to be able to see this Dodge City 2019 damn ah shit ah it really sucks um Finn Rudd last one Finn Rudd tackle Dodge City nope we're not going to find it that's okay he saved the game what a legend as mentioned this is not a well-travelled pathway for Kiwis Rudd's inspiration was Auckland's Johnny Linen who had just finished his career at Brigham Young University where he first attended on a rugby scholarship but switched halfway through to become punter on the football team now Rudd hopes to use this opportunity as a stepping stone not just to a degree but potentially a career in the NFL that's the dream and has been since I started kicking the football the reason New Zealanders and Aussies are so sought after is because of the way we kick the ball it can back spin it and that's valuable in this game Davis which plays in the Blue Sky Conference has sent two punters to the NFL over the last half dozen years Rudd would love to make that three I wonder who the other two were it's an opportunity that's within reach if you work hard enough I had a 15 year old kid message asking how I did this I told him to do his research and find his pathway when I'm done with my career I'd love to come back to New Zealand and start a pathway I wasn't a freak athlete or kicker there were probably a hundred guys at my high school that could be doing this when I first picked up in American football I was terrible it's different to kicking a rugby ball you have to figure it out I just kept the faith and said to myself eventually you're going to be really good at it and that's what happened oh my god mate this fucking guy that story is inspirational if I was a Kiwi kid reading that I mean it just opens up it opens your world it opens your world to possibilities you never ever thought were possible and that only happened for me in 2018 like I mentioned when I sought after what Australians or New Zealanders have made it into the NFL and I started seeing pro kick and I started seeing all these punters and kickers and I started realising that yes I mean this position of punter or kicker you only have to kick that's all you do and I had the same reaction as Finn did I simply couldn't believe it I was like well that's just too easy I mean you've got to have a decent leg of course but anyway you know what I'm talking about so that was New Zealand's version of the story we do have another one here but I'm not going to read it it's been far too long already so the last thing I'm going to do is we're going to read a story from an American journalist talking about the same journey and this first line just makes me smile New Zealander finally Finn Rudd made the transition from rugby to US football so that's New Zealand and rugby in the same sentence my heart is full let's anoint Finn Rudd with a nickname Kicken Kiwi the Kicken Kiwi I know someone that might not be too happy about that you better trademark it Finn a 21 year old soon to be sophomore Rudd hails from Wellington New Zealand and he's headed to UC Davis in an effort to inherit the Aggie punting job Rudd has acclimated to American ways having spent last fall booting the pig skin for Highland Community College from Kansas this came after working hard in his native land to initiate moving from soccer and rugby to US football Rudd recently told Stuff.co.nz that his interest in the American game started in high school so this story has just quoted the story from New Zealand's page so really there is no reason to read it except for this final part the coach or one of the coaches from UC Davis comments Finn has a high ceiling for Hawkins promises he will bring some international flair to our program and university it's really fun to add him to our culture and I would have to agree and there he is what a journey what a story and that my friends brings us to the end of the video so Finn I hope you enjoyed any New Zealanders or Australians out there any prospective, any kids out there fuck you know whoever is watching I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did I am a proud New Zealander and I am so happy to be back in my home country of New Zealand right now I'll be supporting our local lads such as Finn and I just hope that you guys out there do too so if you do want to hit any of these guys up any of these punters, kickers that I've mentioned on the videos please do go to their Instagrams give them a follow, give them a like give them some encouragement and say Jacob sent ya and with that being said I'll see you in the next one peace out


Greetings from the Commonwealth of Learning on International Women's Day 2018. The theme this year is Press for Progress, a call for the entire global community to come together to achieve gender parity. A top priority for call is to close the gender gap by promoting women's economic empowerment by providing access to learning. To do this, we use appropriate technologies to achieve both speed and scale. Call has adopted a targeted approach to reaching women and girls in remote areas and providing them the knowledge and skills they need for employment and entrepreneurship. The results have been very encouraging. Of the 35,000 women and girls trained in five countries, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Mozambique and Tanzania, 9,000 girls already have enhanced opportunities for livelihoods. Take for example Atya in Bangladesh. Atya was married at the age of 12 to a 15-year-old boy and was already a mother at 14. She participated in a call-supported training in sewing and tailoring and obtained a loan from her father to buy her own sewing machine. As a small business owner, Atya has now been able to make a significant change in her life, including opening a bank account where she deposits her savings regularly. She has more confidence and an increased role in household decision making. The prevalence of child early and forced marriage is still a matter of concern. Call's advocacy efforts with communities is beginning to bring about social change. In Mozambique, for instance, Flora's early marriage was prevented by the timely intervention of a member of the community, a religious leader, who convinced the parents and the husband to be of the benefits of education. As a result, the marriage has been postponed until Flora completes school and is 18 years of age. Because of the training Call is supporting, women and girls are seizing new opportunities. Shagufta in Pakistan is the first female reporter in her district. Shagufta completed life skills and vocational training with Call's partner, Spark, which encouraged her to pursue work in the media by enrolling in an internship program at a local TV station. These examples show how Call is pressing for progress, but much more needs to be done. Let me add two more please to the theme of press for progress. The first is passion. Let's have a strong desire to make a difference and let this passion be contagious. The second is perseverance. It's not easy to bring about social change and we will encounter many barriers and challenges along the way, but the point is to never give in. With strong determination and clear action, let us press on. Thank you.


Greetings, this is Gerd Leonhardt, Media Futurist and CEO of the Futures Agency in Basel, Switzerland. Just a quick report in between mediums. I've been going to medium for a long time. I think something like 18 years. So I've been also running a few things on the block, which has been quite interesting. I want to comment what's happening right now in the music industry. We're sort of in between events here, the next one being January, of course, next year. And I really look forward to being there. But there's a lot of things about the music industry I find quite troubling. There's a few hopeful things as well too. But the troubling stuff really to me is that about 13 years or so after Napster, we're still looking into a direction to where we think that we can control the consumer and see what they want, what we could get away with for them to do rather than to actually go with what they would like to have. And we're seeing discussions about things that are sort of theoretical, like if we can actually make them not copy music on the Internet or share it. While everyone in the world, including T-Mobile and Germany, runs a campaign for Lives for Sharing and where even the Kindle is now pretty soon going to be available to shared books. We still have music industry debates about preventing people from sharing rather than enabling. We have debates about licenses that are still not being given to the likes of Spotify and other countries. We have a pretty dysfunctional situation. I think we need to really ask ourselves in this context, not to be too negative in this little talk here I'm sharing with you. We really have to ask ourselves, what do we want? Are we preferring to keep things in the way that they were and sort of go down with the ship? Or are we going to fix the ship or build a larger one? Are we going to be bakers or eaters, as Guy Kawasaki says in his latest book, I think it's called Enchantment, where he talks about how some people create a small pie and then everybody tries to eat from the small pie or other people don't create anything at all. They just eat the pie. But the solution to our problem really is to make a larger pie, to bake a pie together. And I think this is really what we're looking at going with that sort of idea of baking and eating. Let's bake something together with the ISPs, the operators, the mobile device makers, the social networks which are the new broadcasters of the world. Let's bake something together rather than just try to eat a piece of their pie to get Google to give us a piece of their pie and so on and so on. This is not an approach to work and I think it's a headline for what I want to tell you in this little talk. We're moving from this idea of ego system, which the music industry is definitely a great example for, not to say it badly, this is just a fact, but ego system to ecosystem. And I think we're seeing this around the world in politics and food and energy and discussions that I'm involved with many things beyond music, of course, from ego to eco. This is the crucial part. We have to find a way that we can make this work together rather than one against the other as it was for a long time. And of course that also goes for the conversions of rights, master recordings and publishing, public performance. Everything you do now on the web is a public performance of course, but it's also a copy because it generates copy sort of on the fly automatically just by the very use of the music that we're seeing on the web. So we need to move forward and say, okay, how do we solve this together? How do we create an ego, an ecosystem, not an ego system? How do we go and bake something rather than eat each other's piece? And this is a very, very big problem in music because I find that especially those that have already eaten and the sense of have made millions already with music, which I don't fit in by the way, you know, millions of lira or so, or rupees maybe, but in any case, those that have already eaten a big pie, you know, of course, they are interested in having less people eat. And this is not a good thing. I think that basically what we need to do is say, okay, how will music work going forward? Not how did it work backwards so that we can actually go and put a band aid on or try to recreate CD sales.  The industry has declined by 70% recorded music, of course, not publishing and not live recording, not public performance, which is great. That is the direction that we need to go. Music is an experience. Music is not just a transfer of a file, a download of a song. I mean, that is cheap. That is free. That is not going to monetize us. We need to move forward and create an experience to talk about curation, about play listing, about added values.  They are free-doned because we are not giving them the right chance to pay. In my view, piracy is essentially unmet demand. And we are seeing it, I tell you, around the world in drastic proportion. But I have to tell you, we ain't seen nothing yet, as the song says. The Bachman Turner overdrive song that my generation knows. You guys probably don't know that out there. But we ain't seen nothing yet because quite simply when the other 3 billion are coming online with mobile devices, we're talking about Russia, India, China, Indonesia, and of course Brazil and so on, then we're going to see a huge amount of self-serving and free-loan. Just clicking and not paying, not ever thinking of paying, unless we put a system in place to monetize, which in my view involves a new kind of usage right from music on the internet, a public license, something that everybody can use and everybody can pay so that we create a structure of rivers and pools of money, larger pies rather than the good old definition of mechanicals. I mean, how can we deal with the system where we're saying that copyright is something that we can use going forward? Of course, everything we do is based on copyright, but think about this for a second. Can you actually define what a copy is on the internet? I mean, if you're streaming this video now over YouTube or whatever and you're using a streamripper or anything like CubeSock, don't mention that. Then you can keep this file and then you've made a copy and it's cashed somewhere. And then, of course, I may have the right to tell you not to use my fabulous talk somewhere else and cut it up, but that's a theory because it's available and you will do it if you feel like so. The problem that we're having is that copyright as a construct is what everything is based on, but we have to create something on top, just like we did with the radio and broadcast license, which in my view will be a public usage right or license for music to be used on the internet in a way that monetizes what people actually do rather than what we want them to do. And I really, I appeal to you at next year's meeting to drop the charades and drop all the posturing and drop all the dinosaur ring and think about how can we take this forward together? I think the answer is outside of the music industry because obviously the music industry itself is very much closed off and inside. So let's bring those people in. My appeal to you is to get with the program and bake. Don't just eat. Thanks very much.

For fast, cheap, and reliable Madden 22 coins, make sure to go to instantmaddencoins.com Use code MMG for 10% off. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Double Underhost, Papa Meeks, longest wiener in the entire galaxy. And I am beyond excited to walk you through our brand new series that we've got cooked up here. Now, for those of you who don't know the lore, Bill LaMut started like five years ago. Amazing series, and I love Bill LaMut, and we've got one season left in the tank, but I was thinking to myself, Papa Meeks, when's the last time you got creative? And made something brand new. So I whipped out the suit, I whipped out the Joe Scheiste Cartier frames, I slapped my hoiner down on the table, and I said it's time for a brand new series. This is Double or Nothing. So if you notice here on my account for Double or Nothing, I've got a 67 overall, all silver team, and a point blank, 50,000 exact coins. Here's how Double or Nothing will work. We start with the 50k, and I can build the best possible team with 50,000 coins. How I end up doing that? I haven't decided yet. Then we're gonna hop into a game with a team built only from 50,000 coins. If we win, we advance to the next episode of Double or Nothing. If we lose, I have to keep playing until I win. Now upon winning an episode of Double or Nothing, my entire team resets to the exact team you're looking at here. And then, instead of 50,000 coins, we will have 100,000 coins to build a team. Do you get it? Double or Nothing? So we build a team with 50k, if we win the game, we can now build a team with 100k. I think you guys know where this is going. If we win with the team built from 100k, 200, 400, 800k, up to 1.6 mil, up to 3.2 million coins to spend on one team. Once we hit the 3.2 million threshold, that's when we should be in the playoffs, if all things go according to plan, because that's seven games. So using the 3.2 million God Squad, I'll head into a season, try to win through the playoffs, try to win the Super Bowl, we'll see how that goes. So how many episodes this is gonna be? It could be seven if I lose in the playoffs. It could be 12 if I go all the way to the Super Bowl. Who knows? But what I do know is I'm insanely excited. I never get to do legitimate team building with Wheel of Mud. I hope you guys understand the rules. It really shouldn't be that confusing.  Reconsider your life. I know the team does not roll over, so whatever team I build here with 50k, once we get the win, that whole team wipes right back to this, and we start over again with 100k. All right, ladies and gentlemen, 50,000 coins to build a team. How are we even gonna do this? Well, let's think to Wheel of Mud. And Wheel of Mud, what is successful? What can we keep as a silver, and maybe spend a little more on each position? There are 12 offensive positions to fill and 13 defensive positions to fill, even though there will only be 11 players on offense and 11 players on defense. Additionally, there are special teams that we have to worry about. If you think of it just from offense, defense, that's 25 positions to fill, and 50k to spend means an average of 2,000 coins per player. This is not gonna be easy. Now, obviously there are some positions we can go cheap on, or some positions we might not upgrade at all. I think for this first episode, I'm not gonna mess with tight ends. Let's start with one good wide receiver, one good halfback, and one good quarterback. See how many coins we have after that. You know who might be our quarterback? Let's see how expensive he is. I think I might go Tray Lance. Ah, yes, this actually leads me to my only other question that I figured you guys might have, which is training. I will not be using any power-up players. I will not be using training that will get too confusing, but I have unlimited training when it comes to X-Factor's inability.  I think that's a horrible addition to Mutt, to be honest with you. It's slow, it's laggy, and it's just another form of currency.  Just give players abilities. Why do I have to spend training and give players abilities they should already have? 85 overall Tray Lance is a dirt cheap 4,000 coins. He's got 84 speed, 89 throw power. His agressives aren't good, but I don't think it matters. You guys know Gold Jalen hurts from Wheel of Mutt, and I think I definitely know who I'm going with for halfbacks. So Rashad Penny, who had a spectacular second half of the season, he has a team of the week hat-back card. 4,100 coins, 85 overall Rashad Penny with 90 speed, 89 excel, 91 agility. You're not going to find a better running back for this price. So we've got Tray Lance and Rashad Penny so far. What about a wide receiver? Maybe even two wide receivers if I'm going to get greedy. We are going to learn about a lot of new cards today, but Elijah Moore, one of my favorite rookies this season, bummer that he plays for the poverty-ass Jets. But Elijah Moore, it's kind of expensive, 7,199 coins. I don't like spending that right now, but 91 speed? 91 speed for that? Ooh, it is a little expensive though. We're already really cutting into this budget. We're at 34,701. I can't say I'm thrilled about that, but I like the decision. I know earlier I was saying I wouldn't get a tight end, but I think I take it back. I think I do want a tight end. 7,900, can we really spend that much on offense right now? I don't think we can. I think for now, let's go get a user-middle linebacker and some corners, and then we'll reconvene. 85 overall, your main prep.  It's disgusting. 4,800 coins. Oh, that budget is so tight.  I think corners are going to be really important. I think if we get torched over that corner, we are going to have a bad day. I believe Marco Wilson is a really solid one. Marco Wilson, zero chill. He's got 91 speed, and he is dirt cheap. Yeah, 3,900 coins, 83 overall. 91 speed, 91 excel. Listen, I know speed is not the only important factor in Madden. I get it. But at this overall, it actually is. So I'm stacking up in the speed category, and we're going to kind of pray after that. Most feared Asante Samuel is another guy I'm thinking of. 83 overall, 2,600 coins. 90 speed, 91 excel. You're talking my language. Now listen, if we go up against a guy's car, we're going to lose anyway, right? So we have to get to base this on the idea that we get into a game that we can win. We just have to put ourselves in the best position to win it. Most feared blessed us with some good cards. There's a Rayshon Jenkins, I believe, who's relatively fast for a cheap strong seat. 2,300 coins for Rayshon Jenkins. 89 speed, 89 excel.  If we get torched for it, we get torched for it. 21,000 coins still in the bank. I'm going to throw the best overall lineup in. But just see what we can do. See how this team looks. Tre Lantz, a little bit better than what we got in there. Can he get abilities? Oh my God, he can. Okay. Reshon Penney's an 85 overall elusive back. I wonder if he could get jukebox. If he could get jukebox like this, oh my God, I'd be so excited. Actually, let's check. I don't think he can. I'd be really shocked if he could. I need 88 juke move to get it. Darn it. I can already say reach for it is solid. Let's go second win. Why not? Tre Lantz, what abilities can you get?  He is a scrambler though. Scramblers usually don't get anything anyway. But I knew that going in. I'm going to give him quick draw. I really like quick draw. Helps you avoid sacks like a lot. And second win. A wide receiver. Sorry. Sorry, Byron Pringle. You're going to have to come out for 86 overall Elijah Moore. Oh, I like this Elijah Moore a lot. So I have no tight end. No other wide receivers. No offensive line right now. No defensive line. I figure if I'm going to give something up, it's probably going to be those.  It's really good abilities.  He also gets slot-o-matic short out elite. That's actually really good. And I'll give him second wind as well. I mean, these guys are going to be getting used and abused, if I'm being honest. So we're up to a 70 overall. Tray Lantz for Sean Penney, Elijah Moore. Now moving to defense. I'm pretty sure I have Troy Apke Silver, just like as a base. Yeah, 87 speed 88 Excel. This guy's a maniac. In fact, those of you who don't know, Prince Joe is Madden 20. In Madden 20 competitive series, all the pros would actually use Silver Troy Apke in salary cap.  Middle linebacker, we got Buddy Johnson. Is that you, Buddy Johnson? Asante Samuel. We'll have Marco Wilson as our starting corner here, and then Asante Samuel as cornerback too. This should probably take us to a 73 overall. We got left-end detackles. So I'm honestly fine. 69, 68, 68, 68. Left-end, right-end detackles. I'm probably cool with that. If anything, I'm going to want another corner because I'm going to run nickel 335 wide. So we'll get Keon Crossin out of there. Probably want a tight end. So let's start defensively. I think defense could win us a game more than offense could. Let's get a cornerback 3, and some outside linebackers. I've got enough money for Tyree Kill Wide Receiver. I want it bad. By the way, I really do hope you guys love this series. I'm having a lot of fun. I'm so excited to get it cranked, and I can't wait until we've got 400K, 800K, 1.6 mil, 3.2 to build a squad. And you know what? If you guys really want to see it, I might, I might do a 6.4 million team builder, but I haven't decided yet.  What about Dante Jackson? Dante Jackson has fast, cheap, reliable, man 22, just kidding. Fast, cheap, reliable coverage. Yeah, 2,100. Dante Jackson. So we're kind of going like the well-rounded route right now. Wily Gay. Right outside linebacker Harvest. 2,500 coins. 84 overall. 90 speed.  I think the intangibles like Tackle Blockshot are probably more important for linebackers. But why don't we try one of each? So we've got a right outside linebacker, full speed, right? Now, let's get a left outside linebacker who has good stats, maybe not good speed. Someone just posted one for 2,000 coins.  TJY7. Yup. So he's nowhere near as fast as Wily Gay, but he's going to have every other stat better. So we'll try that theory out. I've still got 14,501 coins. I almost could like splurge on a running back or get offensive line. I say we get another wide receiver. Let's get a wide receiver too. Oh, Amonra St. Brown. I love Amonra St. Brown. What are his stats looking like? 88 speed. All right. I like this a lot. So we got speed demon Elijah Moore. And then we got Amonra St. Brown, Gabe Davis. That looks great. This is where like I'm really tempted to get Tyreekill Titan, but also he won't block like a true Titan. Titans are my safety blanket. You guys know I love Titans. So I kind of want to spend good money on a good Titan. Hawken Sox for 3,000.  And he's got abilities built in that's actually huge. I don't have to use any AP on it or any extra AP on it. TJ Hawken Sox. We got 9,300 coins left. We've got right outside and left outside linebackers. Our D line is pretty mediocre. We've got a corner three. How dirt cheap could be getting 80? Oh my God. Jonah Williams 83,950 coins. Let's go. Wait, this is really good. Bright tackle. You can get Danny Beardor for 82. Let's get a left and right end before we go crazy. Mad Max Crosby for 2,000. That's probably solid. 5,252 coins left. Jason Taylor. I think he's actually like really good. 82 speed right end. 4,200 coins left. We've filled most positions. I think I want to get left guard. Let's go down to 80,81. And I'll get left guard, center, right guard. Larry Allen.  We'll go Caesar Ruiz. He's going to leave me with 1,952. And I'm going to splurge. I'm just going to splurge on a center. I'm just kidding. I'm going to get Olin Crutz. Olin Crutz for 1,900 coins. And that is the first episode of Double or Nothing's Team Building. We have 52 coins left. We've assembled as good a team as we can. All right, boys and 80 overall team for 49,948 coins. 50,000 coins. Elijah Moore, Gabriel Davis, and a mom for St. Brown. We've got DJ Hawkins socks. Trey Lance. Galaspia. Rashad Penny. Olin Crutz. Jonah Williams. Caesar Ruiz. And Deirdre. Defensively. Troy Apke at the helm of free safety. You got to get you back in there, buddy. He's only at 65 overall. We're going to try it. Willie Gage, your main prep. Troy Reeder and TJ Watt. Mad Max. Crosby. Jason Taylor. On the D line. Marco Wilson. Dante Jackson. Asante Samuel. And Ray Sean Jenkins. Up high. All right, ladies and gentlemen. This is it for our first episode. We've got Elijah Moore. Hawkins. Shad, Penny and Trey Lance as our expectors on offense. And somehow I stumbled upon 100 coins. I actually don't know how I did that, but cool. All right, boys. Let's hop into our first ever episode. If we win this game right here, we get 100K to build the next team in the next episode. If we lose, I got to keep playing until I win. Double or nothing, boys. Let's get it done.    Sweet. Oh, this is going to be fun. Oh, I accidentally just blitzed a corner. Not good. Wait a second. You know what? That's a lurkable ball right there. There's nothing open.  I've got this right side. Throw it. Shit. Oh, he's having fun with this. Could be an inside zone. I'm in trouble if it is. I'm really in trouble no matter what he runs.  Sorry, Barry. You're just not built the way my team's built. Let's see what he goes with. Second and gold. Definitely play action. Got the middle. I got the middle. And I've got a QB spy on Kyler.  I had a QB spy on him and everything, and I still couldn't stop it. Is this a blitz or a fake blitz? Uh-oh.  Right over the middle, Elijah Moore. Got Elijah Moore on the slant if he's there. Uh-oh. I have to check down a lot. Oh, no, bad pass. I knew that was going to happen.   More than 23. I'm still going to go for it.  No, I didn't. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. Wait, what? I got that. Oh, my God. All right. Second and 10. No bite, read option. Excellent blocking. Ooh. Wide open underneath is Rashad Penny. You think he's there? Oh, he's there. Yes, sir. Rashad Penny. Oh, I got that right. First and 10, and there's Rashad Penny again. I really don't mind that. Gabe Davis underneath, and I'll look for something deep if it's there. Oh, Hawkinson. Hawkinson. Oh, damn it. I thought for sure we just put one down the seam. I'm going to go read option again.  I'm asking a lot. I'm asking a lot out of Rashad Penny right now. Yes, sir. Oh, no. Fuck, dude. Oh, run that back. When I threw it, he had all this separation. I don't really know what happened. That closing speed was just ridiculous, and I got floored for it. It happened.  We know that, boys. It's part of the series. Oh, my. That is like a window. I played this game for six months. I've never seen someone jump straight over someone like that. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We are stuffing the run. Barry Sanders held the two rushes for negative two yards. So I guess I'm proud of the boys for that, but I think he's going to scramble in with Kyler here. Yeah. No, I should have known he was going to go back to that. We sold out to get Kyler. He playmakers Barry Sanders. I could have made that play. I don't know if we can really block for this. It's Gabe Davis.  Oh, it actually glitched so bad that it worked in my favor. Elijah Moore. Kind of like a modern Saint Brown here. I also like Hawkinson. We'll look at both. There's Hawkinson. No. Jesus, they move so fast. Well, now we're in a really tough spot. He's got all the X factors lit up. He's got all the momentum. I need him to make a mistake. Kind of don't know how he would. And that's our 90 speed Willie Gay. I think that was the right choice. Proud of our man first in 10, 20 seconds left in this game. Really, as I was saying, I need him to make a mistake, but I don't know how. That's how, baby. DJ Hawkinson. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Let's go. Down to the four. Fourteen seconds on the clock. I got a couple passes to try and laser something in. Got to throw it away if it ain't there. There he is. Saint Brown. Yeah, I'm just going to try and get on the quarterback. Oh, look at Barry with an incredible block. Got to make this tackle. Hell of a play. No, no, no, no. Top of his head. It's a product of a product of how difficult it is to be to God squad with a team like this. Low key.  He's open. There we go. There we go. Let's go, Hawkinson. Huge completion. Yes, sir. Treland. God, he has to be fuming. Well, this worked last time. Amonra, Saint Brown was wide open, right? Can't see why it's not open again. And a roughing the passer. Don't mind if I do. I need two more stops to win this game, up a score, another stop, another score. It ain't going to be easy. Is it a sack? Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm going to follow Billy Joe. See if he just beams one up. How do I hit him like that, and he doesn't fumble? Wait for his trust so he can't fumble. Okay, but then how is he making those throws?  Oh, that's mine. Let's go! My son, De Samuel! I'm setting everyone downfield. I want a broken play. I'm trying to set up a broken play, in fact. Oh, I don't have enough time. Bingo. Right over the middle! Elijah Moore!  I just kind of realized that. Trey Lance, Elijah Moore, Amonra, Saint Brown. Hadn't really thought about it until now.   You need to take that 99 God Squad and trade it over to somebody good, buddy. There it is. Right over the middle is Elijah! Low key, I got nervous.  First thing goal.  That is hysterical. Go back and look at that one. Actually wasn't a block. Like, he actually just walked around the edge completely untouched. That is uncool. I think Naughta might be a touchdown. I think Hawkinson might be a touchdown. Hawkinson! Back to the end zone! He's down! Let's go! It's all tied up!  Come on! 21 to 21.  All that showboating. You have a free seven points already in this game. A free seven points. I don't think he'll run it again. But I'm going to go on asante. Oh, okay. He goes to the pass. He might throw Barry Sanders under. Yup. That's too bad. Not much I can do about that. He's either going to score a touchdown quickly or I turn him over. We're there. We're there. We're there. Tight end attack. Yup. I'm going to follow Billy Joe. Somebody follow Barry. Let's go. Oh, no. User playmaker. That's fine, actually. That's not preferred. But if you get chewed the clock, kick the field goal. I lose, lose. I think what we do here, we score a touchdown. We go for two. What works? What doesn't? Where have we been successful? Where have we failed? Let's try and remember all that on a beautiful drive right now. Rashad Penny underneath beauty. See, I think he just pulls the guy over there. I don't think he uses that. He is. He is. He is. He is. That is so loose.  Play it in the middle. It should be open. I might be in trouble already. 4th and 8th. 4th and 8th. There's Hawkinson. Come on, baby. Don't let that be for nothing, Matt. Let's make something happen. Yeah? Let's go. Rashad Penny. Yes, sir. 38 seconds on the clock. That's our first time out.  Let her set up. Trey Lance.  I'm just going to walk this puppy out of bounds. 32 seconds on the clock. We're down to the 27-yard line. I could dig. Oh my God. I could move out to the 100K team if we clutched up right now. What did he say? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. All it takes is one mistake. I read that totally wrong. I thought he was dropping back. Let's do it. So he has trust. I don't think he can fumble even if he's showboating. Bro, you're not actually showboating, though, right? Like, you're not actually proud of yourself. Hey. I love the game.  Look at this. 21 to 32, 255. Free touchdowns, two interceptions. He had two touchdowns, two interceptions. That was just a simple matter of whose team was a higher overall. 7 for 98. I'm under St. Brown. I'm so proud of him. Rashad Penney, 5 for 29. His Billy Joe to 3, 5162. That's nasty. And Harkinson, 4 for 82. It's actually a really fun game. So I'll show you guys what I saw. This is like the biggest play of the game. Obviously, I'm not guaranteed to win even if I convert this right. Yeah, I just read this wrong. I threw it right on this cut. I thought when he turned like this, I thought he was dropping back. I thought he was in a purple, but he's not. He's in a light blue. That's why it comes down. And I mean, I'm holding aggressive catch, but that's 98 overall. Patrick Sertan, and that's 85 for Rashad Penney. So Patrick Sertan is going to win that one. Now, 0-1, a heartbreaker. But the episode's not over. This isn't wheeling him up, baby. I got to go get a win. So I got to hop into the next game. Let's hop into the next one and double or nothing, boys. This is also a great team. It's not as great as the last one, though. The last one had 3.99s up top. So feel a good team, but I think my odds are a little better. Starting out on defense. Oh, Ramstein team. I knew it looked like a Ramstein team. Stafford, Camakers, Cooper Cove, Odelbeckham Jr. I respect it. I kind of like it, actually. Hell of a tackle. I think that was one of the best pickups we made was Willy Gay. I just, I love getting gay. Being gay was the best pickup I could have done.  Percup's going to be open after this clears. I'll throw it now. Oh! Come on! Willy Gay. It's like Devin White reincarnated, but a little bit gayer.  I don't even want to think about what happens if I get booted out of this season. I want to go to the playoffs all in one go. Obviously, I don't actually have control over that, but if I can't have control over it, that'd be nice. Uh, it's probably a bad pass? No way. Rockin' socks. Multiple touchdowns already. I'm going for two. Elijah Moore. Ooh. Oh, slip screen. Is it not? Ooh! He was getting D.F. out no matter what right there. TJ, what? Let's go play action. Oh! What? You ran it? I'm more than okay with that. Can't get to the cornerback.  He can't throw a touchdown! Wait! Uh, is this a punt? Did he just punt? He punted. Darn it. Full momentum, ball at half. Another turnover for the Rams. He's hit me with a lot of man coverage. Kind of like Amonra St. Brown over the middle here. Bingo. Dude, he's lightning fast. Wait. Stop and go. Come on. All right. We're going to block a few, and I'm going to double team the left side. I think that's Aaron Donald. Kind of want to roll left. Oh, he's usuring it. Jesus Christ. X across. Oh, Elijah Moore. What a play. I love Trey Lance. I love Trey Lance. It's like Jalen Hurts all over again. He plays so good. All right. Great double team right there. Oh, he's there. No, no, he's not. Oh my God, it is. He punted. Two point conversion. Oh, he sent him already. Did I get that? I am built so different. Everybody else is built the same. It's 14 to zero against a Rams theme team here. I get the ball at half. We are in a beautiful position, ladies and gentlemen. Could we get a rage quit and double or nothing? Unfortunately, I don't have anything in place for what a rage quit would do for us in double or nothing. But I'm not going to add anything, guys. I don't want any special rules.   Why am I talking about a rage quit? He just scored on me.  I hope my goal line is the end of you. I think he's going to run this ball. Yes. Bad, bad, bad. All right, yeah. Skye's having a rough day right now.  Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What do you think? The dive is going to magically, at one point, just take you across the goal line here, chief? I'm going to go for it again. Oh, yeah. Why am I saying that? I said it out loud. Well, that's what I get for having only silver D tackles. Oh, it's man, but he's still got it. Hawkinson having a huge game right now. There's Rashad Penny. Bingo. Great play. We're up. We're up to the races. Hawkinson. Yes, sir. He's such a maniac and he's missing. Wait, wait, wait. Don't go down to score. You got to shoot the clock here. Score in no time. Now I like what's going on here. Double Tim and Aaron Donald. Perfect. I got the QB spy coming for me. Oh, I could have had one and taken it in right there. Okay, that's okay. Let's go for it. Yes, sir. Rashad Penny.  Let's see, Rashad Penny. Excellent work on the goal line. He's going to break a couple of tackles. He does not bite, but we make the correct read. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Rashad Penny. Why not get weird with it? There goes his QB spy. There goes his QB spy. I could have thrown B. You got to understand this is Trey Lance and not, you know, the 99 Lamar Jackson you're used to watching on Mutt videos, right?  Oh my God. Why is my pass blocking? Why is my run blocking so spectacular? Apologies. Wish me luck. Uh-oh. Oh, maybe. Oh, I don't. Oh, I didn't get him. And he loves that pass. I'm surprised he got that one through to Robert Woods. First in 10, I'll just actually play the pass this time.  And we get the sack. Dude, he ran a post-corner and it actually destroyed me. Goes for the jet sweep. Okay.  Oh my God. I'm just getting tore up. Oh, a reverse pitch. What a play. But look who's there. I literally don't know who's there. I think that's a silver because I don't remember buying you. But whatever. Great job, buddy. You're built the same. Bichon built everything. Oh, throw up here. Oh, Jesus. Right here, right here, right here. Oh my God. You're homeless. Eight point lead is massive. Love to see that. Wait. Can I get around this? Wait, stop and go? No, I stepped out of bounds. Shit. I was going to stop and go that. Matt, don't prank us right now. Yes. All right. It's not a prank. I knew it was in that cover three. That's why I was supposed to throw it last time. It's not a prank. Amonra. Don't you fumble.  That's the ice. Oh, Gabe Davis caught that inbound. Aaron Donald comes screaming off the edge. I'm a little worried. So I told A, wait a minute. What if he picked six then? But we'll learn nothing in the books. Our 50k coin team after one loss comes up with a big dub. 13 to 21. It felt like we had a pretty good handle on that game though. In the next episode I'll have 100k to spend to build one team. We'll see a brand new story with all those brand new players. Then we'll be on to 200k after that win. 400k, 800, 1.6, 3.2. And potentially if I decide to have gigantic balls, I'll do 6.4 million.  Thanks for watching as always. And I will see you in the next episode of Double or Nothing. Peace out.
