The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated stations present the Pacific Story. In the mounting fury of world conflict, events in the Pacific are taking on ever greater importance. Here is the story of the Pacific and the millions of people who live around this greatest sea. The drama of the people whose destiny is at stake in the Pacific War. Here, as another public service, is the tale of the war in the Pacific and its meaning to us and to the generations to come. The Moros, nemesis to the Japs on Mindanao. Of the Moros, I reiterate to the great American President my people's plates of loyalty to the government of the United States. The Moros, enlisted as bollumens and their my command, will fight to the last and die for America and their country. From out of the hills of Mindanao came this message from Datu Piang as the Japanese swarmed over his island two months after Pearl Harbor. Today, Piang and his Moros are still unconquered. With their razor sharp creases, dreadful knives with wavy blades, they are surprising and slaughtering the Japanese as they have slaughtered invaders of Mindanao for hundreds of years. In the wooded mountains of Mindanao, they await the return of the Americans. Mindanao, home of Piang and his thousands of bollumen, is the southernmost of the Philippine islands. The nearest island of the Philippines to the war operations in the southwest Pacific. With the attacks on Palau Islands, the drive westward, Mindanao bids farewell to be a key to the Philippines and the assault to come on the inner empire of Japan. Driven back into the hills, the Moros among the fiercest fighters on earth are a deadly peril at the back of the invaders. The Moros are Mohammedan. O ye who believe, when ye meet the martial hosts of the Infidel, turn not your backs to them. They quote from the Koran. Whoso shall turn his back to the Infidel unless he turn aside to fight or to rally his forces shall incur the wrath of Allah. Hell shall be his abode and wretched the journey thither. With these words from the Koran, the Moros attack. We live by the cold steel of the crease, the barong and the campilan. These are native knives, short, medium and long. Deadly weapons in the hands of the Moros. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Two thousand years ago, the Aborigines on the islands of the Sulu Sea looked out from their shores and saw a fleet of bright winged prowls coming in over the horizon. As the boats approached, they saw that they carried a war-like people such as they had never seen before. Those were my people coming to these islands. This is Datu Pyang, leader of the embattled Moros in Mindanao today. My people came dressed in red and orange and yellow with some green and purple and black.  Their prowls plunged through the blue waters of the Sulu Sea, streaming under their brilliant sails as they rode in over the waves. Look, the sea is filled with fish. Yes, look at them flash in the sun as they live out. More fish than we have seen in all our journey. The sea is swarming with them. And look, they are on the surface. Those are sea tortoises, hundreds of them. Fortune is with us. What is that movement assured there in the forest? It has grown thick down to the water's edge. I can hardly see. The people are fleeing into the forest. They are afraid. But there is something else. Animals. I see them now, standing there watching us. Those are deer. Yes, deer. The forest is filled with them. Deer and fish and tortoises. This is a wonderland. This we will make our home. Stand by the land. Stand by the land. The people of the island fought us. And when they could fight no more, they went to the hills. For hundreds of years, we morose fought the tribesmen of these islands. Kingdoms rose and fell. Invaders came from Java. Again and again, for 70 years they came. We fought them with crease and barong and campelon. At last they departed and returned no more. The sea ran red with their blood. 1500 years, the moro people fought to make these islands their home. Invaders came and went. Then came word of a man of a different kind. He is one of the island of Seminole, Your Highness. A prisoner? No, Your Highness. They came upon him on the white beach of Seminole. Did he bear arms? No, Your Highness. Nor was he afraid. He asked only that he be heard. What does he speak of? He tells of the great hereafter for warriors slain on the field of battle and for all who believe. He must have come after gold. No, he wants nothing. What is his name? Who is he? His name, Your Highness, is Makdum. And they say he is a magistrate from far off Arabia. Arabia? A good and wise man. They listen to him in Seminole. And throughout the island, his words are echoing. There is no god but Allah. There is no god but Allah. From this man and from the other Mohammedan missionaries who followed him, the Moro's learned to live by the Koran and to die by it. The Moro's became Mohammedan. Then the Spaniards came with Catholicism. The Moro's withdrew from the Northern Islands to their strongholds in the South. The Spaniards in the North determined to conquer them. It was in the palace at Manila that Esteban Rodriguez, the figure of Oeya, made his terms to Governor de Sande. I swear that I, at Lantado, Esteban Rodriguez, the figure of Oeya, promised to pacify and colonize the said island of Mindinao at my own expense within a period of three years. Do you think three years is sufficient time, Senor, figure of Oeya? Ample time, Governor de Sande. The country is uncharted, and the peoples have never yet been conquered. No proper attempt has been made. Besides, I have the incentive of becoming Governor of Mindinao for a period of ten years. That means that I shall have the right to exploit it. You have our best wishes and all our help, Senor. Thank you, Governor. I shall organize an expedition at once and prepare to sail home. In 1596, the Adilantado were three priests and a company of soldiers sailed to Mindinao. They went up the Rio Grande River in Cotabato, up into the country of the Moorout Chief, Solangan. And there in the forest, they landed on the shore. Notice how quiet it is in here. Yes, nothing but the wind through the forest. We cannot see ten yards into the forest. You are not afraid of the tribesmen, are you? No, no. We have guns, they have knives. Company, attention. The Adilantado is going to speak. Soldiers, we stand upon the newest soil of Spain. To subdue this dark forest and rid the soil of the Muslim is our aim. They shall submit as vessels and converts or fall before our Spanish blades. Forward to our duty for king and country. Captain Ramírez. You will take your reconnoitering party and proceed as advance patrol. Say, senor. Forward. Adilantado figured away, waited with the main body of his men on the beach. They waited for reports from their advance patrol. When none came, they grew restless. The Adilantado called his men to attention. Soldiers, no report has come back from our patrol. I ask for volunteers to go with me into the forest after them. I will go and put you down here.  The rest of you will remain here under Colonel Valdez. Now, you four, attention. Follow me. Forward march. Keep your eyes open. Report anything you see for any movements. Soldiers who were still living dragged him out to the beach. And there, as his life ran out, he said, this was the start of the struggle with the Spaniards that was to go on for 321 years. The Spaniards would have learned the nature of the Moros in the ceaseless bloody warfare. I know that you understand these savages before you start against them. Jaime Alvarez. I assure you, my expedition shall go well prepared, General. This car you see across my face, it is from a crease. Did you account for him who did it, General? Not until after he had cut down three of my officers and gashed me so that I thought I could not live. I shall fight them on their own terms. You can never match their ferocity, Jaime Alvarez. Nor their cunning.  Should one of their own be accused of improved an ally, his mouth is slit from ear to ear. It seems right arm is lopped off. The prostitute's nose is split. And yet I am told that they laugh. Yes, they laugh. They laugh with dracus sardonic laugh. I have heard it. And it is frightful. I have much steel with steel before, General. Who can say that the Toledo Blade is not a match for the crease? Beware. I shall ask no quarters and give none. Thank you, my General. Thus, expedition after expedition started against the Moros. In Reprisal, the Moros struck back at the Spaniards with terrible vengeance. The Spaniards have attacked our capital at all. We will sail against the Spaniards at Ilo Ilo with every boat and every man. This was Panglima Abdullah, the head man. Seventy carriages, great outrigger boats with forty oars and with brilliant coloured sails were drawn upon the beach and made ready. The outriggers have been secured, Panglima Abdullah. They are strong and ready. We have rigged new sails. And the oars? One for every oar lock and extra ones for reserve. Good. Hunting, hunting. What of the provisions? The boats are all provisioned. Rice cakes enough for a week and all the bamboo tubes have been filled with water. We must have plenty. Panglima Abdullah. Has every crease been sharpened? Every crease, every brown, every company. The blacksmiths have tempered every blade and made it sharp. The warriors are ready. Everyone. Give the order. We will sail at once. The thousands of morals fighting men every one pushed the heavy boats off the beach into the surf and headed out into the open sea. Wind sang through the rigging as the brilliant sails bellied out. The heavy oars sprained in the waves as the boats plowed through the sea. Seventy boats sailing in a great presence with Abdullah's boat leading the way. Seventy boats bearing eight thousand crease men on a mission of vengeance. There is Ilo Ilo. See through the rain. Oh, Abdullah? Yes. Prepare to land. Yes, my leader. Prepare to land. Those fishermen who saw us at dawn, they have probably landed by now and warned the fort. The rain will cover us until we have landed. Once we scale their walls, they will be lost. Seventy fighting boats moved in like ghosts through the rain and mist. Like a swarm, they all touched the shore at Ilo Ilo on the Isle of Panay at the same time. The eight thousand warriors with their creases poised, stepped up to the Spanish fort. But there was no time to reload, cutting the Spaniards down like weeds. The Spaniards retreated and the morrow swarmed through the city and massacred them whenever they caught them. The governor tried to rally his troops. Do not let them into government peace. The males were put to the crease. The women were rounded up and taken back to the harems or to slavery in Sulu. And when the town was sacked, Bangladesh Abdullah spoke. Sixteen times. They captured it five times. But the morrow's held holo for two hundred ninety years and the Spaniards held it for only thirty one years. The young's people never bowed to the Spaniards. They never paid tribute to any man. They went to the United States and turned the morrow lands. The morrow swept down upon the Spanish garrisons in Mindanao and Sulu. The posts that were not abandoned were destroyed and the Spaniards slaughtered to a man. Then the Americans came. The problem of handling the morrow's is different from handling the other people to the Philippines. This is the American General's staff in Manila. The morrow's have a different religion and they're different racially from the peoples of the north. Yes, they are Mohammedans while the Filipinos are Christians. Well as I see it, special arrangements will have to be made for the morrow's. Captain Pershing and his troops are now in the middle of the morrow country in Mindanao. He's made excellent progress. He's assured the morrow's that there will be no interference with their religion. That has gone far to bring understanding between us. The civil government that is being set up is also helping to reach the gap. I have a report here on the payment arrangement for the morrow's rulers. The Sultan of Sulu and his retinue are to receive $6,750 annually. This is proving a big factor in bringing about cooperation with the morrow's. But will the minor doubt to submit to American authority? Yeah, that we shall have to see. We know from the experience of the Spaniards that tolerance and understanding ended the armed rebellion of the Sultan of Sulu, but not of the minor chiefs.   With elaborate ceremony, they prepared themselves to run the huramantado. This young man has received his parents' permission to run the huramantado. And now he has come here to the mosque to receive instruction from the Imam. The young candidate for martyrdom places his hand upon the Quran. I covenant with God that I will wage this holy war for it is of God. Now he is being washed. His teeth are being cleaned and his nails are trimmed. Now his father is shaving off his eyebrows. It is done, my son.  Yes, father. Now his hair is being cut short. A tight band is wound around the waist of the young man.  I swear to pursue the road to paradise with valor and devotion until I endure the pangs of death. You are ready, son. Yes, I am ready, father. I am ready. With fanatical zeal, the young morrow goes out to kill and be killed. He suddenly approaches a group of American soldiers and sweeps down upon them, waving his razor sharp crease and shouting huramantado. Huramantado. Look out, look out, look out. John's dead, Bert. You're bleeding, Bert. Let me see. I'm all... He slashed your neck, open Bert. We've got to get you to the hospital right away. Lucky you got that morrow when you did, or you... Huramantados appeared as if out of nowhere. Americans were slashed and stabbed to death in the streets, on the plantations, on the beaches, and even in the army camps. The fighting went on year after year until 1913. General Pershing would have been promoted to Brigadier General from the rank of captain and closed in on the morrows. His staff surveyed the situation. The outlaw element of the morrows is now in this stronghold here on Mount Bagsack. We know that when the morrow makes his last stand, he wants his women and children with him. Now our job is to get the women and children off Mount Bagsack before we storm it. That's going to be difficult. Women and the children work in the fields below the hill while we're not around. As soon as we approach with troops, the women and the children go back up the hill. This was the situation, and the morrows kept close watch on the general staff. Then General Pershing announced that he would visit his family in Mindanao. He sailed from Zamboanga. When the transport was out of sight of land, the captain of the ship received an order from General Pershing. You will change your course and proceed to Basilan. There you will embark the 51st Scouts. You will then proceed to Seasi and embark the 52nd Scouts. With these missions accomplished, the transport with General Pershing and the two companies of Scouts put into Holo Harbor late at night. The American troops in Holo were joined with the Scouts and the advance was started on Bagsack. Lay down the barrage on the fortress on the summit and on all five of the ports below all at the same time. Yes. We'll have to shell the morrows out of the outer trenches before we advance. For two hours, the American heavy artillery shelled the ports and the trenches. American riflemen picked off the morrows as they fled from the trenches. Then came the order. Pin down the Americans. Hours of fighting and the Americans advanced to the 45 feet of the fortress. Look at those morrows standing right up on top of the walls. They know the jigs up. Look out, look out, they're throwing their creases. Look out for those. Flying creases cut down the Americans and then the order came for the final assault. All of Bagsack organized resistance to the morrows ended with the American tolerance of their religion. The morrows would have fought to the last man. The Americans and Pyeong's people learned to understand each other and as the years passed, they saw another people coming in. Finally, in spite of laws and restrictions, these people came to Mindanao and Sulu. A fifth column destined one day to join the invaders of their own race, the Japanese. 136, the Japanese had come in great numbers to Davao in Mindanao and slyly they said, Davao is our most important colony outside of Asia. American observers took note of the Japanese craft in Davao Bay. You know, it's strange how these big Japanese ships from Osaka can make Davao here a port of call. You mean because they happen to be operating at a loss? Yes, you can't go on carrying passengers and freight forever at a loss, you know. You can if you're subsidized? Well, certainly Japan doesn't subsidize these big ships just to stop here going to and from the Carolin Islands. No, not only for that. The Japanese are smart enough to know that they couldn't be that brazen now. The Japanese realize what a lot of us don't realize that Davao Bay here is three times bigger than Manila Bay. Look at those Japanese boats out there. Those fishing boats? Yeah, that's what they call them. And there's a law against Japanese operating fishing boats of more than three tons too. Most of those are more than three tons. They've worked out a slick little system of dummy ownership. If you were to check on it, you'd find that those boats have all Filipinos as registered owners. And here's a strange coincidence. Those boats are always around when there are American warships and naval planes around. And the Japanese operated islands are always near military installations. Yes, I've noticed that the Japanese are making the same sort of penetration here as they made in French into China. You mean plugging the Orient for the Orientals? That's right. The campaign to sell these peoples on Japan and they're spending a lot of money on it. Yeah, they know what they're doing. Make no bones about it. What about the Mindenau? Yes, and you can be pretty sure they know all about Mindenau's possibilities for pineapples, rubber, hardwood and minerals. Hey, look, there goes that big white Japanese ship back to Osaka. Yeah, and it'll be back again. And one of these times it may be bringing soldiers in here. Those watch the infiltration of the Japanese. They watch them spread through Davao up through the highlands of the province of Lannau, out into the coastal misamis provinces. And into the Battle Province where his people had resisted invaders for 2,000 years. Harbour, Davao was bombed. The Japanese forces began to land at Davao. Our greatest danger is the Japanese fifth column. There are 20,000 of them around us here. Yes, sir. And 10,000 of them have already been organized into military units. 10,000? But heavens, they know every foot of Mindenau. Our east-wild friend. Yeah, the farmers in fishing are maneuvering for a foothold on the morows, but Japanese reinforcements are landing. And when they widen the beach head through the hills and the lowlands the tangled brush and the forests once again flashed the crease, the barong, the compilin and through the woods rang the morrow battle cry. Under the sheer weight of the Japanese numbers pouring ashore from their big transports the morows are falling back into their wooded strongholds cutting down the japs, ambushing them, and for 2,000 years the morows refused to yield. Today, Piyang and his thousands of bolemen are still holding out. A deadly peril at the back of the invaders, a powerful force to aid the Americans when they return to Mindenau and the reconquest of the Philippine islands.

Hi, I'm Jess Ballard here for Cal TV, and you're joined by Bailey Cron and Damon Moon of Bathe Alone, post their fantastic show in San Francisco. A really well done job for tonight, guys. You did amazing. Oh, thanks so much. So people unfamiliar with your music, how would you sum it up in like three sentences while you were at work? Moody, immersive. Oh, I'm doing three words. Just stick with that, I love that. Moody, immersive. I don't know, dreamy, I guess. How did you two meet? How did Bathe Alone start? What's your guys' origin story? Well, okay. 2018, around. I was in another band, and we were looking for a producer, and my bandmate found Damon. He worked on other bands that we liked, like Lunar Vacation, and we went towards studio and felt like immediately comfortable, and so I worked with him for multiple bands, actually, and then eventually, Damon, I showed you like some demos of like tarot cards. Yeah. And I just wanted to like keep making music, but make my own music, too. Yeah. If someone were unfamiliar with your music, let's say, what is the one song you would put on to show them what Bathe Alone is and what everything you guys represent in the world? To choose. I know which one my dad would say. He would say Decades and Dreams. Yeah. But of our current sound. Yeah, probably Decades or Missionary Ridge. Can I ask why Bathe Alone? Why did you guys choose that as your suit or your locker? It started out as just like Bathe, but there's already like four other Bathe bands, and I was going to therapy for like anxiety about just being alone. Like I went through some trauma in retail and I have like this thing where I'm just afraid to be alone. I feel like I've conquered that for the most part, but I wrote out like on a sticky paper, okay, so I can't have the name Bathe. What do I want to have? And I was just writing all these like names that went with it, and my ex at the time found the sticky note and was like, I like the one that says Bathe Alone. And I just went with it. So you guys have a new single called Archive 81 this week. Congrats. I've heard it. It's really beautiful. Thanks. Can you delve further into the inspiration behind the song and if someone were to listen to it, what do you want them to leave thinking or feeling? With that song in particular, I don't know, it's kind of like a yearning song, but I want people to feel just immersed in, I mean, that's always the goal is immersion, but just embracing being honest. Watching your guys' performance, there was like an extremely tangible connection between the band, which made watching it like all the more special. How do you think you guys have gotten closer since you guys have been on this tour and what kind of memories, like what's maybe one of your favorite memories from being on tour together? Yeah, I think we've gotten to know one another better. We're all pretty tight, you know? Yeah. Favorite memory though? Favorite memory, oh my god. The drives, like the drives, some of them have been really bad, but also like those are the things that you remember and just like getting through the night drives and the camaraderie. So you guys are in this really interesting genre of train pop. Do you guys ever feel confined to it or do you feel like the music genre is like, the music industry allows you to kind of explore whatever you want to explore? What sort of genres would you want to explore in the future? That's a good question. I feel like dream pop is different for a lot of different artists. Like a lot of people, it's guitars and drums and bandy band sounding things.  And I love that we're leaning more into like, we didn't just set up some mics and then play for three minutes and see if that was the take. I really love polishing and making immersive moments with production in a more pop way. How do you want people to kind of leave your concerts? How do you want to leave people feeling after seeing the guys perform? I want them to feel like they want to play some music, they want to make some music that they just love music. That's what I love feeling when I watch a band that inspires me to just like, I want to go home now. So you can like make something that sounds like that and it makes me feel like that. I'm actually a songwriter and I feel very inspired. You guys are amazing. And what's kind of next for you guys? What's your five year plan to put it in? Or just what do you guys want to pursue next? We're working on a lot of new music. So we'll be, obviously like we would love to hit the road more often. So we'll be in Austin for South by Southwest in March and then that's kind of the only thing right now on the live front, but we're working on tons of new music so that's always, we're always in that world. I think that's all the questions I have. Is that really difficult? Yeah, well thank you guys so much. We're so lucky to be joined tonight by Dave Elone from a fantastic concert. It's been such an honor talking to you guys. I cannot wait to see what you do next. Thank you guys so much. Thanks so much.


Hello and welcome to this session. In this session we will learn about regression. Now the word regression means the act of returning or going back to the average value. Note that while all tall fathers have tall sons and all short fathers have sharp sons, the average height of sons of tall fathers is less than that of the fathers and the average height of sons of short fathers is greater than that of the fathers. This tendency to regress or go back towards the average of the population was described as regression. Now regression also helps us to predict the value of one variable or the dependent variable from that of the other independent variable. Therefore the statistical method which helps estimate the variable from the known value of the related variable regression Therefore the tendency to regress or you can say the tendency of going back to this value is called regression and the line this tendency a regression line. The regression line to denote that line which gives best possible estimates of the values of one variable for a given values of the other variable. That's why it is called the line of best fit. That is the regression line is also best fit. So we can write a regression. Now let us discuss the method of conflicting. Now in this method we plot the given data diagram to draw a smooth data. So this is called the freehand method of conflicting. But this method is not used in actual practice. This method has a disadvantage that it depends on individual judgment and different observers will obtain different curves and equations. And therefore the decision of the person will affect the result. Now let us discuss the method of least squares. Now the regression lines are also constructed by least square method. Now in this method a regression line is fitted with different points in such a way that the sum of the squares of deviations and values are released from the fitted line. Now from this diagram consider distances d1, d2, d3, d4, dn drawn from each point x1, y1, y4 and so on up to xn, yn. Now these distances will be positive or negative according to whether the points that is these points are below the curve. Now consider the squares of these values and their sum. So consider d1 square plus d2 square plus d3 square plus d4 square plus so on up to dn square. Now the measure of the goodness of fit to the given data is provided by this quantity that is small. The sum of the squares d1 square plus d2 square and so on up to dn square is large when the fit bad. Therefore we can have the given set of the property that d1 square plus d2 square dn square is a best fitting curve. This square sends a regression curve in the square line. Now let us discuss the line of regression. Now a line of regression is the straight line which gives the best fit in the least square sense to the given set of data. Now we learn about the best fitting curve. Now in case when this best fitting curve is a straight line it is called a line of best fit or a line of regression and the regression is said to be linear. Now there are three lines of regression. The first term that is the line of regression of y or if the line of regression is so chosen that the sum of the squares of deviations parallel to the axis of y is minimized then it is called the line of regression of y or x. Where the line ap is so chosen that the sum of the squares of the deviations of y is minimized. That is these deviations such as pors which are parallel to the axis of y this means that these deviations will change in the y coordinate as they remain the same. And for the value of x1 we are writing y that is y1 and y2 which in the y coordinate will give us the deviation p s and similarly we can get other deviations also. For this line ap and it is called the line of regression of y or x and the algebraic form of regression y is equal to that is the coefficient of x represents the regression of y or x. The regression equation is y bar is equal to the coefficient that the sum of the squares of deviations parallel to the axis of x is minimized and it is called the line of regression of x on y. Of deviations parallel to the axis of x is minimized that is these deviations such as p s and some other deviations like p s which are parallel to the x axis will change into the x axis and where the y coordinate is remaining as it is. For this value y1 of y we have deviations which are parallel to the axis of x is minimized of regression of x on y and the algebraic form of the line of regression is the coefficient of x on y that is bxy. Now the regression that is equal to bxy is the regression coefficient is through the point of intersection of the two lines of regression. Now let us discuss the regression lines of regression when plateau line of graph paper coincides when there is a perfect correlation between the two series. See for example 1 and 2 a regression of x on y and y on x is equal to plus 1 that is the coefficient of correlation is equal to plus 1. Downward the coefficient of correlation r is minus 1 between the lines the lesson is the correlation between the two series and that is the versa. Now the angle between the two lines of regression upwards so we can see between the two lines of regression and both of them the high degree negative correlation. The harsh angle between the two lines of regression so it is a low degree between the two lines of regression and both of them slope downward. So this is a low degree negative correlation that is if the two lines of regression cut each other at right angles then there is no correlation between them. So in the seventh part the two lines of regression cut each other at right angles so here r is equal to 0 and there is no correlation between them. If you have learnt about the regression then regression line hope you all have enjoyed the session.


What's up guys, welcome to episode seven of girls who bet I'm Aaron Dolan joined by the fabulous live mood. So many sports going on. We're going to get right into it. And then we have a special guest coming on just a little bit later in the show. So stick around for that and shout out to all the people in the YouTube chat already saying that they are here saying let's go Annie. That is who we're going to be bringing on but live. I know you guys are about to the NBA right now. You're sweating them out before this year. Yeah, let's just start by saying KCP. I was warned about him when I placed this bet. A lot of people were like, he's very streaky. As of now he's played 11 minutes of basketball with zero points on the board. So I'm not loving that. And Jared Allen, I took his rebounds and he has zero right now. So not loving that. But it's okay, risky for you to even dabble in that prop market because it's the first game. Oh, I know. I'm a risk taker, but I will say Zach Levine. I was nervous about him at first. He is now heating up all the way up and I took over 24 and a half and he has 23 right now and it's only the third quarter. So that was a solid move on my part. But other than that, we'll just, we'll sweat them out as the show goes. If you see me react, it's because one of my problems is falling apart. I know I have the Flyers game on here. I have the Detroit Pistons game on. But in front of me, I have so many things going on. I tweeted out earlier some of the plays that I liked Pacers, Money Line, they're up right now against the Hornets. I also like Pistons plus five. They're only up by one right now. So we'll be sweating that in the fourth quarter. And I also like Wizards plus three. They're up by 20 points right now. But again, just the second quarter. So a lot of things can happen, especially a lot of times. Yeah, there's a lot of time. And then with the nuggets, I took them to cover a plus six and a half against the system. That game's a 10 o'clock. So I will be probably waking up to seeing the results of that. I was going to say, you're braver than me. That's my own team. And I did not touch it with a 10 foot pole. I couldn't take it. I was like, after watching them get swept by the Suns, I think I have a little bit of PTSD. So I was like, they did well during the regular season. They did. Sweeps by in the postseason was not was not great. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. But it is. I didn't have the NBA back. I am pumped. I cannot wait. I'm very excited. Yeah, I really love the player prop market for the NBA. I was talking with Alex Monaco, who I do a show with on Tuesdays. And he was he made up a he brought up a great point that I just kind of failed to remember. And he's like, this is such a like superstar driven league where it's like, you kind of know, going into each game, who to look at, and that makes it easier. But it doesn't, it doesn't like, you think, you know, who's going to pop off and they may not, but I think player props in the NBA are super fun. Especially when you have three good players on a team or something like that, you just don't know which one's going to go off. The Celtics, for example, last season were like that. I hated betting any player props on anything. That was my least, I literally middle of the year told them, told myself I am not betting on the Celtics. They played rough and roulette with was going to be having a night. So I couldn't handle it anymore. And I stopped betting on them. But yeah, I mean, if you look at a team like the wizards, obviously, like a guy like Bradley Beal, we only got it, you know, one guy that kind of holds down the fort. It makes it easier. But either way, I'm very pumped. The NBA is back. Very. Last night was opening night. Yeah, I was going to say last night we had some fun games. That was exciting. Our Bucks Girls Who Bet Best Bucks Moneyline was a success. That bounced around so much. It would be plus money, be minus money, plus money, minus money. And then obviously they were able to get it done. I think the whole Kyrie situation is not helping the Nets. I was a little surprised it was that much. It wasn't a blowout, but I mean, they ruled that whole game. No, they did. And I, you know, I think it's one of those things to where this Nets team is just going to need a little bit of time to warm up and kind of acclimate without Kyrie Irving. I think that he was such a dominant person on this roster. And a lot of the offense was kind of directed through him. And he was just, you know, he was a person on this team that was pretty reliable in a big sense, especially when getting points on the board. So they're going to have to readjust. And I'm not sure how they're going to handle that. But in my opinion, Kyrie's got to go. I think this whole in and out thing, the Nets just need to move forward with their season and realize that there's a roster full of people that showed up, did their job, want to work hard, want to play. And that needs to be what the focus is, not Kyrie and whatever he's doing, you know. Well, speaking of just the main distractions, Ben Simmons, obviously being kicked out of practice did not help. And it stinks that it's not a year later where we could potentially pick up a Bradley Biel or even be in talks with James Harden. Or even trading for Kyrie, which at this point, just because he, since he's now vaccinated, he could technically play in Philly. Anything help this team. I mean, they're playing right now. They're only up by four against Pelicans is the end of the first quarter. I took 76 years minus three. But still the distraction, the fact we're still talking about it and national news every day is still talking about Ben Simmons. I know, aggravating. Even I mean, it's episode seven. I think we've talked about this the last four episodes. And that, and that's just it. It's in my opinion, the regular season has started. It's done.  That's also just embarrassing from like so many different levels. I don't know. I just, I don't get, I don't know. I remember teammates are now saying, what's he fighting for? I don't even know at this point what he's fighting for. Obviously he's fighting for the trade, but at the same time, it's like, buddy, you're not that, that, that good. Or yeah, no, no. And I remember a few weeks back when we had Ariel on the show, I was talking about his attitude being the issue. And I, I think now we're seeing it more than ever. I had called him a spoiled brat. And that's exactly how he's acting. He shows up to practice and doesn't want to do what the coach is telling him to do. That's just not how this works. He's got a very. You can see it on his face. He's like shuffling. He's not even wearing the uniforms like everybody else with the jersey over top. It's the whole, he wouldn't go to the huddle. He's shooting the ball around. Apparently was there something like he had his phone in his pocket or something to think I saw something. Probably probably done everything that you could possibly do wrong. And that's the thing though, is I think it's, it's kind of his way of saying, I don't want to be here. Get rid of me. He's like the little teenager that's like rebelling so that they can get what they want.  You think that if you felt this strongly, you would go to the media and say, I do not want to be here. I do not care to talk to you. That's that like he hasn't made one statement. Right. Well, again, I think he's, he's trying to make a statement in his behavior and his actions saying no to dock rivers is a great example of that. But I don't think, I think he's failing to realize that these other teams are watching how he acts. Nobody wants him on their team. Nobody wants that energy going into the season. I like it's one thing if you're good and you have a bad attitude, but when you're average with a bad attitude, stay home. Enjoy. I'm over it. He could have came and played hard for the first half of the season and tried to force a trade again in December. Like there were so many different ways he could have played this. And now it's just funny. Did you see the picture of Rich Paul? His agent is now dating Adele. Dating Adele Adele. Like the Adele, the one who just her new song is fire. I'm not going to lie. But yeah, she's dating him. What sitting on the sideline, just watching the games, like hanging out. And I'm like, meanwhile, his, you know, client, Ben Simmons is just crying, like crumbling, crumbling at the seams. Ben Simmons is crumbling at the seams, people. Oh my gosh.  Well, I'm going to have NBA back though. It's good. We have a lot of things that we'll probably be talking about throughout the season. I'm excited to see how some of these teams play. Of course, it is a long season. Guys, you know, start finding some of those trends. A lot of, um, good ones are usually first half trends. Like a lot of them were hitting last season early. One of my favorite first half, um, bets last year was the Grizzlies in the first half. They always came out swinging. That was a bet I could bet with very little hand handicapping and know that it was going to hit. That was a big one for me last year. Yeah. So just look at stuff like that. I mean, I'm looking at the Grizzlies score right now. It's 47 38. There's about eight minutes left in the second. So we'll see if that trend continues into this year. But yeah, that was a really fun bet for me last year. It was Grizzlies in the first half. So yeah, I think the Suns did something crazy, like 30 consecutive first half covers 31 or 32. It was insane. It was like, it was, it was, I love the NBA. I love the NBA, especially right now. I think this is a great time of the year because kind of like you had said a little while back, you were like, it's nice. Now that we have some stuff in between football. So if you have a bad betting day in football, like you've got time to make it up. You've got all these games. Like there was a pretty big slate tonight to look at. So it just makes it, it makes it fun when you know that you've got like things to look forward to when it was just NFL. It just kind of felt like, Oh, I really, I lost really bad on Monday night. Now I got to wait till Thursday night. Now I got to wait till Sunday. It's like kind of and also it's so much more digestible. Just given that the roster is not huge. You're actually seeing their faces. It's like a superstar type league. And again, it's 30 teams. It's just so easy to like understand how each one of these teams functions day in and day out. Absolutely. That's the one part and one advantage I think compared to if you're betting major league baseball or hockey or something like that with a huge roster and knowing all the teams, it's just a totally different ball game. So totally excited to have it back. Very, since we kind of talked about or you mentioned NFL, we'll get into that. I hate this slate so much. I think it's the worst slate that I've seen in a while. And we're at the point where teams are getting injured left and right. So Thursday night football, as we know, Baker Mayfield will not be playing case. Kenan is going to step in. He'll be playing Teddy Bridgewater in your Broncos. I thought today would have been a good idea. If as soon as that news broke, I thought the line was going to change right away. It sat at minus three for a little bit and I was like, this is a good time to take the Broncos money line. And then now that line keeps moving down. I believe it's that one and a half right now in the Fandall sports book for Thursday night football. And that total keeps coming down to I mean, injuries on both teams on both sides of the ball, basically at this point. This is a really tough one for me because obviously you've got no Baker Mayfield. The Browns had a lot of injuries before Baker was even announced that he wasn't playing. And I kind of know that. Yeah. So they have a lot of questionable, you know, injuries and stuff going on. And but it's hard for me because Broncos are my team. I definitely think after their little three and O run, they definitely took a little bit of a turn. I do think that this is a must win game for Vic Vangio. I think he really needs to prove himself as a coach of this team because this Broncos team, like I said, they were doing awesome. Everyone was hyped up. And now they're kind of now they're kind of tanking down a little bit. I have heard or seen or read that Teddy Bridgewater has been practicing this week and he is planning to play. Melvin Gordon is off the injury list. So the Broncos are slowly getting back some of their some of their stars. But it's tough. I don't know. I kind of want to stay away from this one just because it is my team. And I do have that bias towards the Broncos. And it's going to be such a sharp line because it's Thursday night football, just like Monday night football. And there's prime time games. There's so many people betting on this, but this is the one game. I'd say go to player props if you even want to bet this. I'm staying the heck away from this game. I know it's Thursday night football, but I don't like it. Also looking down the slate, there's some really long spreads. We got the Rams versus the Lions, Lions, 15 and a half point underdogs. Then Bears Bucks, Bears are 12 and a half point underdogs. Texans Cardinals, 17 and a half point underdogs. So if we had to go with one of these teams, kind of a long shot, I kind of like the Bears to cover against the Bucks. I feel like that's a situation where they potentially could. Also the Lions cover a lot too. Yeah, yesterday Texans, all three of these teams. I might just take all three of them since all the favorites hit last week. That one PM slate. Yeah. Yesterday, Fandle posted my leans video. Bears was actually one of those. It was at 12 and a half. I'm not sure what it is. Yeah, it's still a 12 and a half right now. So yeah, yesterday they posted my leans video and the three that I like, they were actually all three underdogs. One of them was Bears plus 12 and a half. The other one was Titans plus five and a half, which I really like that one. That's smooth. The cheats. Four and a half. So good thing you got it at five and a half. I did get it at five and a half, which was nice. And then the other one that I was kind of leaning towards was Colts plus three and a half. I feel like this is a team that's kind of heating up right now. And they're going up again. Who are they playing again? Hold on 49ers and the 49ers potentially injured quarterbacks going into this game. I think they're both kind of a question mark there on who's going to be the QB. So I was like in the Colts as well. I think I'm leaning towards the dogs to cover this week. I don't love that there's three double digit spreads for this week. I really don't like that. I might just battle through them and put them in a parlay. Well, and my thought on this on this Bears team is this Bears defense, I think is pretty underestimated and I think it's strong enough to definitely get some stops on this Bucks team and hang in and at least keep the game closer than 12 and a half. Not to mention, I think 12 and a half is way too many points considering this Bucks team is two and four against the spread. So I like the Bears. I think that that's a good one, especially when it's that big. I mean, 12 and a half pulls off the win. But the against the spreads, you kind of sweat that out. Same thing with the Kansas City Chiefs. They were all able to cover the spread last game, which was good for them. But before that, obviously terrible record. Then you have the Dallas Cowboys who are five and all against the spread. They are on a bye week, so we won't be able to see them this week. But I was so I was on an airplane. I was flying home from a bachelorette party and I was on an airplane watching the Sunday night or the Sunday slate. Quite a few patriots. OK, I didn't know this, but there's a lot of patriots fans in Florida. Is that like a thing that people knew? Really? Well, they have like it has like jerseys and it was I don't know. It was got the dolphins and you stuff everywhere. And I just didn't think that that like it was weird to me. I don't know, either way. No, it was actually kind of a side note, very odd to me. And just in terms of fan bases, like the Detroit Pistons, I know they're not obviously good, but like their opening night. There was nobody in the stands. Philadelphia, if we were terrible, it would still be a packed house. I don't understand other sports cities. I don't. Well, yeah, no, that's weird. I mean, really, there was nobody. It wasn't packed. It was not packed. Are they are they full capacity? Oh, good point. I feel like it's kind of different from state to state. So maybe that's why. So when I was seeing watching them do the opening ceremony, whatever they were doing, the anthem and whatnot. And I was like, there is nobody at this game. So just just to check in with you guys here really quick. Yeah, Casey P still has zero points. So shout out to me for the player prop. Shout out to me for taking over on Casey P's points. He currently has zero at halftime. So that's super cool. But either way, we're not going to we're not going to get too emotional about it. You have a double, double correct for Joel. So yeah, so I have two different parlays. I tweeted out. So before it's all the one you tweeted, it was wild. Sometimes they say, Olivia, why didn't you share that? First of all, I'm not obligated to share my my bet slips with you. OK, I choose to do that. First of all, I did tweet out earlier today. I said bulls minus five. Then I did tweet out later. I said there is a lot of public money on this bull's team. It makes me nervous. Something in my gut says the pistons pull off the upset. Oh, my God, you would have thought that I told everyone they were ugly. The timeline was jumping over this comment. But I did make two separate parlays for player performance doubles. OK, so one of them has grant and grant to score 20 plus and a pistons win. And the other one has Zach Levine, twenty five plus and a bull's win. So I did do a little hedging situation, but I told people that I was going to do that. But yes, in both of those, I have Joel and Bede for a double, double and a seventy sixers wins. So hopefully that goes up right now up up seven. Joel's got three rebounds, forces, twelve points. We need some of the other players to step up. Every time I post a sneaky part, like every time I create a sneaky parlay, people get very upset with me that I don't share it. But the same people that get upset, I don't share it. Are the same people that would roast me if it didn't hit. I'm like, I don't want to see myself win online today. I don't want to be bullied today. So I chose to share it. Yeah, it is what it is either way. Yes, KCP shout out to him. Shout out to Jared Allen, who has zero rebounds. I took the over on his rebounds. So it's looking like a really solid night for me, just in case anyone cared. Super solid. Yeah. All my bets are looking like right now at this moment, they would all cash.  Did you guys hear just Aaron just flexed on me. She just she just flexed on me so hard. But we're we're like in the second quarter of this. It was game where the fourth quarter bulls visited. We're all over the map in these games. And now they're back up. The Hornets are up by two. And I was just saying Pacers, were they just up by 20? No, no, no, I was just going to say the Hornets. The Hornets just came back. I don't know what they were sipping on in the locker room, but something they have some good pay to rate because they are. They came out now on first half spreads only. I should have bet all of these first half spreads. They would have to be fine. Mercy. Oh, my Lord. Yeah. You know what? That's absurd. The Pacers need to figure it out. That's embarrassing. But yeah, come on. What's going on? What's going on with that? I don't know. All right, well, let's get a girls who bet best bet before we bring on our special guest. What do we feel? Are we wanting to? I feel like since we both like the bearish, we do plus 12 and a half as our girls who bet best bet for NFL. And then we'll figure one out for anyway. Well, let me start by asking first, is there a dog that you like to win outright? Because I got to say that Jag's Moneyline bet we had not to not to brag on you, not to brag. I told you, Jags were London's team. That that was pretty clutch of us. So is there a dog you like I have seen some chatter going down right now? I have one that would be close to kind of bet would be the dolphins to beat the Falcons, but I don't even like that. Oh, Eagles to beat the Raiders. Colts to beat the 49ers. I could see that maybe. Yeah, I feel like out of all of them. Let's play a game. Let's go bears, 12 and a half. Let's go bears, 12 and a half. All right, I'm down with any of the double digit dogs. I think all of them can cover. I'm getting. Oh, we do a little through a little bit. A little bit. Really? Lions, lions, bears and Texans all to cover. That is the largest spread ever. I wish they were all animals. We can call it the animal parlay. No, that would be mean. Anyway, well, wait, what is a text? No, Texans, is it a bull? Well, I think it looks like a bull, right? I mean, yeah, but it's Texans because of like Texas, I'm assuming. I don't know if a Texan is an animal because now we're confused either way. I think now I think it should be called the double. We do lions and bears. Oh, my double digit dog parlay. Triple D. You got what I'm saying, though, the lions. What is it? Would you? What? Tigers and lions and bears. Oh, my from Wizards of Oz. No, Texans and lion and bears. Oh, my no, that's good. The song or there was. Yes, yes, that's it. We're getting some of our animals. It's actually quite tragic. It's not as bad as I came and say the one time I texted them about a state and we're not going to get into it. No, no, no, actually, I think we might need to. I think we might need to. Yeah, one of my worst texts ever. Liv is like, we should go to Memphis. And I'm like, yeah, where is it? Middle of the country? She's like, are you kidding me? I'm like, no, seriously, where is the state of Memphis? And she was like, Erin. And I was like, oh, my God. I said, I went to Catholic school. We didn't do geology. We didn't we did religion. We many religion classes. So Memphis is where Elvis died on the toilet, Graceland.  I think he actually croaked on the toilet. You're wrong. RIP. It's not funny. I just, it's such a great impact. I think we've said enough at this point. Yeah, I think we need to bring on our guest. Absolutely, because listen, she is a powerhouse with content. I think she easily has the most creative content on the Twitter sphere or any sphere. She is a football legend, in my opinion. So I want to bring her on before I pronounce her last name, because I don't want to mess it up. So, Annie, let's bring on Annie was on, but I want to hear what her last name is pronounced, because we had a little bit of discussion before the show. And I want to make sure I'm not butchering it. So, Annie, welcome to the show. Yes. Thank you for coming on. Oh, thank you for having me. We're so excited. It's pronounced agar. Agar. OK, agar, agar, agar. Now we got it down. I think some of us said agar and then some said agar, but we know it now. Agar before, so it's, you know, you can't go wrong. She just wants to whatever at this point. Basically, yes. Well, Annie, Annie joining us, we appreciate it. I was really enjoying your conversation before. So, you know, us embarrassing ourselves. No, I do that all the time. Every Wednesday night, we embarrass ourselves. It's just kind of becoming a ritual at this point. But I guess, since you heard, how do you feel about the Texans and Lions and Bears? Oh, my parlay. I like that a lot. I know it. I was looking forward to these games. There's those three of the spreads are 10 points. I think those are the only three where their 10 points are higher, right? Yeah. And other than maybe the Texans, I'm strong on the I'm strong on the Lions covering sitting through three and three against the spread. So that one should be a good one. But the Texans are just other than Davis Mills. I was riding the whole Davis Mills. Oh, we love him. He's amazing. Love that his neck is like a mile long. But other than that, I'm not fan of him now. I don't think there's any kind of, you know, he struggled last week, but I don't know. I just don't see him covering that big of a spread. So other than that, I love it. I love the idea. I know it's hard to put your trust in Davis Mills. Let's be real. I mean, it's a tough situation for sure. So, Annie, we wanted to make sure to get you on the show because you make, as Liv said, some of the most creative content. And some of those videos that you put out, I'm like, how much work goes into these? And where did you come up with this concept? How long does it take? You have all these questions about these awesome, obviously little concept pieces that you make about these teams being in meetings. So you can kind of give us some background info on that. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, so this whole crazy idea happened when COVID took over, excuse me, in a cold or something, it's not COVID. When COVID started, it was great timing. And I was working in local news. I was a sports reporter. And we didn't have anything to cover, obviously, because we covered a lot of high school sports. All high school sports weren't happening anymore. And I kind of, like, there was a dark cloud over America, basically, right, because I'm over the world because we didn't have any sports. March Madness had just stopped. We were ramping up for Big Ten Football because the spring games were happening. And I was looking forward to going, like I was looking for storylines at Michigan State and Michigan, those were primarily who we covered. And all of it just kind of stopped. And it was really hard for me, as I'm sure a lot of other people in sports because we didn't know what, you know, East Canada's trying to fill content. We were trying to find things to do. And I just had gotten on TikTok. I have a younger sister who was 17 or 18 at the time. And I remember she just laid into me, like, you don't know what you're doing. This is, you're not gonna understand half of it. I didn't even know where the record button was. So I was like, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing on here. But it was fun to, you know, watch and observe. And kind of got the idea that maybe I'll just do a TikTok now and then. And so I started doing TikToks. And then it's a great, I figured that was a really cool way to do kind of the videos that I enjoy doing. And I didn't really have this concept in mind. I just kind of started doing it because it fit really well with, I guess, my humor and my family has that kind of self-deprecating sports humor where you tend to make fun of the teams and the players.  I'm sorry. That's just how it is, you know? So we just grew up with that. It probably is because I'm in Michigan. My whole family is like, they're all alliance fans. So they just know self-deprecating is what we live with. Anyway, we'll get to that. So I had this idea to look at Big Ten Football because that's what I grew up with. And I figured if all of us are doing these Zoom calls, we all have these kind of video chats going on. They must be doing the same thing. But how funny would it be to have all the teams in the conferences trying to talk to each other when I know for a fact, Michigan and Michigan State hate each other. I mean, their administration hates each other, not just the teams. So I thought how funny it would be to demonstrate that in a video. And the first one was super, I didn't have a script. I just went off of what I knew about the teams because that's, you know, we knew what kind of their personality was based on how their fans interact and all that kind of stuff. So I put that into a video and it went crazy on Twitter and TikTok apparently liked it too. So then it was from there. I love it. It's so funny you bring up TikTok because I am the oldest of four and my youngest sister is 12. We'll show you 12 in the next couple of weeks. And God, TikTok is like the thing. And it's like, it's so crazy how I all walk upstairs and she's like concocting stuff in the kitchen. And I'm like, what is that? And she's like, it's a stain remover hack that TikTok taught me. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, but it's like the new, it's like our version of Vine I feel like and Vine was so popular and so entertaining. But I will stay on the flip side of that from like the sports world perspective. I feel like it's a really great way to like grow a following and get exposure because it happens so fast on TikTok. Like you get a TikTok that goes viral and now all of a sudden it's like you kind of blow up essentially. Like, do you feel like it kind of happened really fast how you blew up and how people were like all over these videos? Because I feel, I was watching through your stuff and I was like, oh my gosh, the views and the interactions that these get. I mean, people really love them. Do you feel like it happened super quick? Yeah, you know, I think TikTok has figured out a way and I'm, everybody's trying to figure out the algorithm and how, you know, if you do this hashtag, this is whatever. I don't think, I don't know, I figured it out, obviously, but I think it does a really good job of tailoring your videos to the people that want to see them because all, I mean, everybody's experienced it, I'm sure, but you say, you know, or you like not necessarily say, but you like a certain video about like a food recipe, you start seeing a bunch of those videos. So I think TikTok does a great job of pushing it all out. But I do, I mean, it does feel like it happened super quickly. I just, I posted today, actually, one of my most recent videos hit 2 million views and I literally posted it. Then I think it was Monday night and it's now Wednesday.  And I posted it, I think I went and watched the game or whatever, I got back on at night and it was up to 40,000 likes. So it just happens like that on TikTok. That blows me away because I see on Twitter, like I try to really get it out there on Twitter and I try to interact with my followers on Twitter. TikTok is just, it's just a whirlwind. I just, it's crazy. So it's super fun. I mean, it's, and it is a great way to connect to people because people comment and then they comment on those comments and like I'll watch a video and I jump right to the comments. So I love, I love the interaction on social media. And I think that's what keeps me kind of motivated to keep doing these videos because I love the people I've connected with so far. Even in our industry, like you guys, I wouldn't have, you know who would have known how this would have happened had it not been this way. So, absolutely. And I think COVID kind of pushed everybody even more so onto social media and their phones. And one thing that Liv and I have expressed to each other when we've been talking is just how different even from going to school the broadcast journalism world that we learned is so different than it is now. And in the next couple of months it'll be different than it was, you know these past three months it just is changing consistently. So keeping up with those trends but do you kind of feel that maybe this was a what you're doing now is a different path than what you would have done had you not, let's say blowing up on TikTok do you think you would have went that traditional route or do you think that you really enjoy having the creative freedom to make these videos? Yeah, that's a great question. So when I was in local news from my blood, my bosses like I cannot stand up to things about them. They've both been in the industry for 30 plus years great guys. And then I had a couple, you know people I looked up to in the industry I was able to talk with Tracy Wolfson one time. She had a speech in Green Appeds which is right from originally and I remember asking her, you know my boss has said, this is the way that everybody does it.  And then all of a sudden you're, you know hopefully Eddie is pan. And I've seen it. I mean, I've seen it happen in red books but that's how everybody did it. But I first of all hated that idea. I've been in Bozeman, Montana and I got a job offer there and I looked up a video you guys. It was some female had done a vlog of Montana. And the first thing she said is it was like the dress code there whatever you can aware of. And then she worked in local news and she said, we'll get rid of all of your impractical clothes like heels and night shirts and like that is all that I own. I have a lot of t-shirts now which was really nice. But yeah, so it just was not it wasn't when I was looking forward to but I knew you had to put in the time. When I worked in local news I worked 20 hour days when it was Michigan, Michigan State Games.  So it was a lot of time and I see how people can just die in this TV industry because it's so tough on you. But I knew, I mean I always had that goal I knew where I wanted to go. Never would I have ever thought that I would be a content creator or that I mean I love the idea but I didn't think that was a way to get where I wanted to go. And now, and I tell it when I've spoken to a couple of classes before too and I tell everybody this and like you bring something different to the table than nobody else does. So figure out what that is and really it could be maybe you don't really realize how to use it yet but it's so different than anybody else and really focus on that and then make that your career goal. Like keep your end result which is fine you know have that in the far like the distance wherever you want to be but really think about maybe creating something different and it's super scary because if it had like I think Aaron said that if it took COVID for me to really get out of my comfort zone and realize there's gotta be another way to get there because the goal boy isn't here for anybody. So it was a really, it was wild to me and I would love to write a book about it someday or you know some down the line hopefully help other people kind of maybe see that it is super scary but there are other ways to get to where you want to go. Maybe ways that people haven't even thought of yet. I'm really glad you brought that up because I think there's, I don't know how, I know Aaron's a couple years older than me. I'm 23 so I graduated college in 2020 so I'm relatively, I get called young I don't feel that way but I get called young whenever I'm like- You're an old soul though. I'm a very old soul. I would rather have the old people than I would if you were my own age. That's how I've always been but I, you know I graduated very recently and I have a lot of people that message me a lot of females specifically that message me you know they're graduating college soon and they really want to get in the industry or they really want to get into sports betting and that is something that I have said to them so many times is you have to be different. Like you have to bring something that nobody else does and I think, and this is not a knock on anyone but I see a lot of people that graduate and join the space and create videos just like somebody else you know. You can tell who they admire or who their role model is because their videos almost feel like copycat versions and again that's also how you grow and learn and I'll be the first to say when I first joined the space you know I would rely on the people like Minty Betts like Ariel Epstein like Kelly and Vegas you watch their stuff and you try to learn and so it makes sense but if you aren't different no one's gonna watch yours if they've already been watching somebody else's that's just like that and so I've said that to them so many times I spoke to a class at LSU and I also just have people you know graduating from my alma mater and messaging me I think that's a really important thing for people to remember is if your video looks just like somebody else's and that person's been in the industry for two, three, five years no one's watching your stuff you've just gotta figure out what makes you different and I think that's why I love your content is because nobody's doing anything like it you know and I think that's why you blew up the way that you did is because people were like, oh this is refreshing like you don't get to see this you know because it was so different people really, really liked that so it's like you gotta figure out what you're good at number one but number two like how can you stand out how can you be different from everybody else and it's not easy I don't think people realize that being creative or having a job of brain power it's a lot of brain power and I think it's easy too for people to from the outside look in and say oh your job is so fun and yes it is we are so lucky to do what we do which is talking sports and making content but I don't think they realize the behind the scenes of every video that goes out there that is so enjoyable to watch it's a lot of work so you know all power to you I don't know if I could switch outfits the way you do I can't, I struggle to put one outfit on during the day so I'm going to- The video is my hair is like oh and I just don't even know how long will it actually take you from start to finish to film one of those videos that's a great question so now I kinda got a system down which is great I moved to Chicago so I have a space now and I'm like this is great so I watch the games all day Sunday and try to take notes and then I have a band for Valley Sports I do a show at night with Serena Rallis so we get on and we watch the games yeah so that's great and then I kind of summarize everything that night I just get everything in my head let it marinate a little bit and then Monday morning I wake up and I kinda go through everything I go through Twitter like oh my gosh for an hour maybe two hours just looking through what people have been talking about I go to fan bases and make sure the jokes that I think I'm gonna make line up with what they're feeling because I wanna make sure I'm speaking for the fans so that's a process so from Sunday through Monday and usually I finish shooting the video hopefully like four or five o'clock on Monday so all day Monday is kinda spent getting everything ready making sure it's all lined up edited, everything like that so it's a process it's a process that's something people don't realize even if it's a short clip the amount of knowledge the same thing goes with betting I know Liv brought this up of emulating people actually taking two years to understand the betting industry taking that time it helps you out in the long run and I mean the videos just keep getting better and better, funnier and funnier more people related to them so love that they're blowing up but one thing we wanted to play with you is this little game called This or That just to kind of get to know you even more and have our audience get to know you even more so I'll start off with one these are all sports related would you rather watch the games at a bar or be at the tailgate watching the game? Ooh, that's a great one probably tailgate I really like throwing football like I'm going all out of the tailgate I love that atmosphere I love bars, no can be wrong but I love being out at tailgates and I don't really get the chance to now I think because of work so right, well okay so I have a funny little con so I have a phobia and my phobia is throw up okay so you have to remember I was a TCU showgirl so I was on the dance team so I never tailgated because I was always on the field with the band before the game whatever so I never got to experience a true college tailgate and plus TCU is a small private Texas Christian university so people aren't really tailgating as hard as they would at West Virginia where my brother goes and I went and visited him and he took me to a tailgate every other person near me was throwing up on the ground and I was about to have a full I was like tensed trying to get to I could not handle and the way that everyone there was just so calm about it like they're just walking they throw up they keep walking I'm like when I throw up like I'm down it's a vibe it's a long long vibe I reached peak college status when you can just puke and then just keep going like you can rally puke and rally but all I have to say is that question all I think of when I hear tailgate now is people in the hot sun dehydrated drinking all day throwing up everywhere and I just can't do it so I had to throw it in there it was so terrifying that question would definitely be 100% a comfy chair in the bar with the AC that's where I'm at absolutely I have one for you never watch sports again or watch your least favorite team for the rest of your life and that's the only team you can watch that is a really good one I would I would watch my I mean I do all ready I watch the Lions every Sunday you guys that is the equivalent of watching paint dry sorry sorry goff you don't want no need to apologize because didn't the head coach of the Lions just come at post game last game he was like goff is not doing his job and I was like oh oh my god if your own coach is saying that like you have a big problem at your people are saying that about him though when he was at the Rams they were kept saying that over and over and some people agreed some people didn't but now we're seeing it firsthand it's like a divorce it's like two people got divorced and now they're they're meeting for the first time and one of them looks like they've gained 50 pounds and throw football and it's Jared Goff and the other one's like a VS model and the other real good can I be a swimmer? all right three three other ones this is a good one would you rather be the star on a bad team or an average player on an elite team oh so you'd be the best person on a bad team or average I feel like this oh I feel like I've talked about this before I think I'd rather be I think I'd rather be on an I'd be a good player on an average team because hopefully I can bring up everybody else like hopefully yeah there you go we got worth it for team to get there and on average I don't know what I can bring to the table that reminds me of like Bradley Biel he's so good and then the wizards can't help him out so but you know what I agree with Biel it kind of seems like with Biel like he wants to be there and it's like the weirdest thing to me it comes to my mind and maybe he's got that same mindset where he's like I'd rather be the star on a bad team than be you know swallowed up no he was dropping like 50 points last 50 point games last season was like this isn't good enough I'm like oh God what more who's man do he's an animal okay I have another one for you would you rather win the world series or win the Super Bowl win the Super Bowl I figured that was gonna be your answer I love the world I do I love my dad I played baseball actually played for the Tigers for three or four years and I played softball love baseball but Super Bowl is just it's next level yes it is it really is Aaron you have one more right no I actually don't I thought I had one more but you wrapped it up on the four well Super Bowl that is the way to there we go that is the way to air so speaking of Super Bowl I guess this is kind of a futures question and I know you don't I don't think you do a ton of sports betting but just from a watching perspective which teams are on your right I know it's early it's only week seven but which teams do you see enough potential in to potentially be in the Super Bowl come February gotta go Cardinals Cardinals is probably my number I mean obviously they're 6-0 but what I mean they are such a fun team to watch and so fun when that whole thing happened I thought dear God they're doing it like they want this team to be the team Carla Murray oh my gosh Hopkins like this is just a stellar team so um obviously we'll watch up for them I am looking at the Packers not biased we have to we never both in the Packers is where our futures bet 12-1 to be honest with you though I kind of gave up on them after they burned me in a seven leg parlay in week one it will not let this like you will not live this down you will talk about this in to the Super Bowl single was it the only one that didn't hit the Packers the only ones and the rest of them were underdogs oh that was wild yeah that was the bad part you know there's a team that you want to love and then they just let you down look at week one it's true I don't even want to talk about week one it's like it never happened to me I know and I think on week one right and with week one too it's one of those things where you kind of have to tread on what you don't know what you're going to get in week one you don't know what these teams look like what the QBs look like but I also love the Cardinals I've been hot on them since the beginning I actually sprinkled $25 for them to win their division at plus 500 so I'll walk away with 150 if they end up cashing out for me so fingers crossed that your prediction is correct and the Cardinals hang in there because I love this team they're so fun I know I just yeah it's been a good football season for everybody it has I mean being a Lions fan is tough being Eagle's fan right now is tough so I get it I know it's oh yeah I see the helmet shoot yeah and you're like ah that's cute that basically needs to be clipped off and put out for all our Eagle's fans if I'm not really but we're so happy that you got to come on everyone got to learn even more about you everyone already loves all of your content it's great keep it up we'll be tuning in and

spread was three but still come on but yeah I had the game on right here oh bulls are covering right now or sorry excuse yeah they are sometimes I do math in my head too much I'm just like I don't even know what number and how to subtract did you ever do that absolutely my brother wait what I was talking this is actually the funny thing my brother he every time he has like a total bet or he's got a player prop the whole game he's using his calculator and oh my gosh shammy too because it makes him no doubt when it finally gets to zero like he will sit there the whole game and he's like okay 10 more points okay eight more points I'm like can you stop like you're stressing me out I'm starting with my bet when I was at Penn State they actually asked me to calculate the odds in my head if like minus one something and I was like what's 14 mine or what's 100 minus 14 everyone shout out 86 and I was like Jesus Aaron like think before you speak think hey is Memphis a state I was like yeah you're just as bad as be not knowing where Colorado was it was like I'm in Colorado I couldn't tell you where on the map Colorado was but I was like this has to be a joke right now there's no way she actually thought that was an accident Cincinnati I thought Cincinnati was a state for the longest time Cincinnati's in Ohio she found that out recently I need to I need to I need to look at that yeah
