Okay, here we are live on the metal voice and back again with us Les Binks former Judas Priest drummer Les Binks priesthood and wait a second. We got something else to add to that to your tag Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Less what's going on? Can you hear me? I can hear you.  Just saying how you doing and good all good Very good. Yeah, still getting over the jet lag actually Okay. All right. All right, right Alan was supposed to be on he was having camera issues and microphone issues So he said he told us to to march on just just do the show without him. It's all good So Alan if you're out there There you go Let's let's talk about what happened here and we'll talk about what you're currently doing as well, right? Or maybe we should start off with some dates Les Binks priesthood Tell us about the next dates or what's up coming up next with your man? I'm taking a break right now for get Christmas out of the way. Okay. Not my favorite time of the year. No so things kick off again around about February next year some London dates Then there's a festival we're doing in Norfolk, which we've done a few years ago. We're back there this year. It's called Legends of Rock And also there's a thing we're doing other than Sweden next year. It's like a rock cruise thing that comes out of Sweden. Yes Few festivals throughout the summer but I'm also waiting to see what KK's band might be doing this. Oh Because there might be some guest spots for me on that as well I Haven't had any true dates yet, but I'm waiting to see what develops All right. So, you know what since you brought up KK. I'll get I'll ask you about this first album We last time we spoke first album was released by KK the whole COVID thing happened You I think you hurt your arm or your hand. Is that correct?  So that kind of kind of went away, right for the time being Yeah, it took several months to heal up, but it's it's they're all working fine now Good good. Happy to hear. Okay. So KK told us when I've interviewed KK a few times me and Alan interviewed him and He told us as he was kind of finishing the first album. He was already working on a second album So I'm assuming you weren't part of the second album. Is that it? Well, we I chatted to him about this and I Think there were problems Regarding Getting management sorted out and getting to a date set up. So he just decided to press on with album number two Now the thing is that there's another drummer involved in the band now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I I presume he's played on this album as well. Yeah, the only time that I would be involved would be through live situation as a guest performer So as I say until until there's some dates that are actually confirmed. I'll have to wait and see what develops there So just to clarify for everybody out there If KK goes on tour as KK's priest you've been offered some guest slots Depending on the situation, correct. That's absolutely right. Yeah, okay. That's good to hear. I'm happy to hear that actually I'm very excited about that. So hopefully I'd like to see you on more than just a few guest dates So and I'm sure everybody who's watching this would like to see you on more than just a few guest dates So let's push it so it could happen. That's what I say, right? What when you're playing with KK's sorry when you're playing with Les Binks priesthood What kind of set list can people expect typically? Well, a lot of it's based on the When we used on the East album So a lot of material from that Plus there are songs from Um the stain class album and of course The album for other album And also I do a few because when I joined the band I actually joined for the synoptic into it. Mm-hmm Hold on pause pause. There's Alan Alan. Can you hear us?  Yeah Yeah, well, I won't go through all all the songs. No, no, no But basically it's all from my era with the band. I know I don't I don't go beyond that So that's what you know That's what the the idea was I I kept getting asked by various people. Why don't you play some pre-stop whatever and Initially the band was just a one-off a bit like KK's band that was, you know Put together initially with with uh with remperors as a one-off situation and then developed into what it is now Um the same thing happened with uh with the priesthood band I put that together initially just for a one-off show Uh, but we had to you know go back and all the albums and I had to sort of listen to everything again Virtually relearn what I played on all that stuff um so Uh, we had to do quite a lot of rehearsals to get it all tightened to get it together So after after we did that one-off um You know, there was a lot of interest in us doing some more shows So I kind of spiralled a bit from that and um You know, it's still Still, I mean all the guys on my band are all working with other situations as well and um so Like I said, when you get really good musicians, they're always You know, yeah, and so I have to I have to contact everyone to make sure they're available before I can Commit to uh taking on uh shows Okay All right We also talked about Ellen about the KK's pre-second album if he was uh on it or not And Aless was telling us that it's kind of like, you know, there was another drummer involved But he will get some guest slots on KK's tour if he does it Yeah, I just want to put you up to speed.  I mean it was great to see That's nice. That's nice to hear All right, so whip it out. Let's see it And I mean this in the nice way Rephrase that whip it out You might want to rephrase that I think you're referring to this That's heavy, isn't it it is congratulations again the base of it's very heavy, yeah So, uh, it's good for lifting weights, you know, put some muscles in your arm or an assault weapon. Yeah But um, yeah a little souvenir from los angeles paperweight Who Alan unless you have a question first When you first got the call when you first got the call It's huge When you first got the call less Like how did it happen? How did who told you that? Hey, was it keke who called you? Was it management who called you? Was it the rock and roll hall of fame who called you?  I think the band was nominated This is the third time that we were nominated Yeah, and the first two times we didn't get accepted So it looked like we weren't going to get in at all And then of course this year we did Um, so it was a case of third time lucky Yeah But I heard I heard about it through Actually a lot of it through the media, you know social media and things that Um, and I heard that involved me as well And uh, Dave Holland who's no longer with us um on kk, of course I don't see how they could possibly leave him out. He was such a Integral member of the band. Um, exactly and uh, how to get the whole thing started in the first place uh, so um, then then I got um I got a contact from the band's management And um, they put me in touch with the Rockville Hall of Fame people who were organizing that and uh, it just all sort of spiraled from there Okay I mean, you know those induction spaces speeches there were like six of you on stage I think it was the shortest in the history of the Rockville Hall of Fame, especially yours less I mean, you know, the brummies aren't known for for uh, you know being emotional or anything I think it was proven that night Yeah, well You know, these things always get heavily edited don't they? Mm-hmm. I think the show was originally supposed to be um Just over three hours that it worked for tv And I'm actually it actually went on for a lot longer over four about four and a half hours, I think and so they um Decided to make it longer as a result, but they still had to do a lot of heavy editing and um, you know We were pretty warned not to uh make long speeches because uh, you know, we had a limited time slot and um It probably wouldn't get um all aired. Anyway, if we went on too long So I deliberately kept it straight to the point And it's good you have because you know those long-winded speeches by some people right blah blah blah blah blah, right? Well, I think on a lot of these award ceremonies on people can rant on for ages, you know, and just what was everyone the tears, you know, so When was the last time you spoke to uh, the Judas Priest band as we know it today was that like I'm not sure if you answered this question before in the past with me now, but of course, I've known Richie for a long time before Join priests. We actually worked together for quite a while And I think I met and met and met him when he was about 22 Wow, and he was playing phenomenal then, you know and So, so I you know, I'm rich, you know, I live some in in Nashville So, you know, we used to live in London. Obviously one where he's from Uh, so I don't see so much of him these days and of course he's always on tour um, or whatever So it was good to see Richie again And of course the other guys in the band I haven't seen for many many years, you know I I was happy to see them all, you know, uh, we all we all got along great And um, we all enjoyed, you know doing the show together We had a rehearsal a couple of days before on a thursday to show and out on saturday So we had a rehearsal And we probably spent more time together then Backstage Um, and we actually did on the night because it was all a bit, you know, tactic on the night Yeah, so um, it was great the whole experience was all you good It was nice to have Richie on stage with you guys when you're doing induction speeches because you know He's been a big part of the band for the last what 10 years now easily Yeah, a lot of a lot of the fans, you know um, I just appointed that he wasn't inducted but it's not nothing to do with the band or You know, it's to do with the the way that the rock and roll hall of fame You have to been around a long time, you know, and I've been around a long time much longer than Richie has um So you have to you have to I think they go back about at least 25 years and you have to You know played on records and toured and uh, you know contributed to the writing and Generally to the the the band's success um So that's the way they decide on who's going to be inducted or not. Um, you know So it's nothing to do with the the band's decision. It's all down to the rock and roll hall of fame What about like for me tim ripper Owens. I mean, you know He helped the band survive through the sort of rough years, right? If it wasn't for him the band, you know, I'm not sure if it would still be around today, right? Those were rough years and he was on the five years. He was in the band Was there any feeling like I don't know maybe between you and other like he should have been inducted Like I I think he should have like I mean, I think I I understand the logic on one side But the logic on the other side, I don't know if it it makes sense All right Well again, it probably boils down to that 25 going back that 25 year period again It would have excluded him as well um so You know just just exactly the same situation that Richie, you know, it's it's nothing to do with us or the band or who It's all down to the rock and roll hall of fame the way they Work, you know, they set their own system up to serve themselves. So, you know, that's the way it goes Yeah, it would have been nice. It would have nice been nice to see tim. Um, I'm not like has it been 25 years Alan like since he was in the band I don't know midway do the math somebody get a calculator in the mid 90s. Uh, uh, no, maybe maybe just a little short I would think maybe But does it work on stage less with scott travis?  Yeah Very tall and lean And playing with it. What's your impression of him as a drummer? Being a it's great, you know We're we have sort of different a different approach to playing different slightly different styles but You know It's a probably the I'm not sure but it's probably the first time he's worked with another drummer And and and me too, you know, I worked with percussionists, you know congo players and things like that, but um never with a Another kip drummer Um, and also I think he plays a lot to a click track Even in large situations Um, and that the songs that were put together were a medley of three songs Yeah, and I think They've added to doubt the first one. I think Because we actually started with um You got another thing coming and then then went into, uh breaking the law And then living after midnight Um, and the the thing was we were only allowed Just over eight minutes to perform those so The only way to do that is to Work with a click track to get the timing right Uh, so that falls exactly within that timeframe um so I had I had to use Scott as my click track, you know And I the most important thing is that True to two drummers lock in together, you know um To be perfectly honest, you know those songs don't need to be played by two drummers, you know, but um On this occasion it was a special occasion um and um You know all seem to work out okay in the end. That's the main thing But what were some of the challenges doing it that way for for you? Like you said, you've never Particularly played it with another drummer and a kit before so what did you find a little challenging about that?  We're just doing a very in eight minute slots So you're not going to get really into breaking out in a sweat So really all I was doing was concentrating on blocking in with um the scott and um You know that I let him set the time changes because he's working with a click. I wasn't and um Uh Yeah on the songs that we did Were you know in terms of the The drum tracks on that um a fairly straightforward rock tracks, you know, not too much in the way of double bass drums or anything like that And that was one of my questions what how do you find the music? Since you left the band like you said is straightforward rock Those are three songs that that prove that but whether your impression of playing those songs that are you know Technically you weren't in the band and I don't know if you've ever played them before so How did the music change for priests before before with you and after you? um well I think The the album they made after I left which is pretty still That was the album that contained um Some of the songs that we played, you know, um breaking the law and living after midnight um I think Those those songs in particular helped to break the band in America it's because The time I was in the band that was very important to get FM radio play in America for about about to break big and then When we got into the 80s, we had the emergence of MTV on that became a major platform for You know making or breaking a band So those songs became hit singles both in the uk and I think in America in America um and and and they're fairly straightforward rock You know tunes isn't it that they're not sort of speed metal or anything like that? um and You know, I I I I didn't I never really heard the whole the entire the album and its entirety um that particular album only the tracks that came off it um, then You know through throughout the 80s.  I don't think Dave Holland was particularly um Into using double bass drums, you know um If he if he did I never heard much of it um But I think with the emergence of all these other metal bands uh, they were getting heavier and The emphasis on double bass drums was becoming more apparent as well So after Dave left I think they wanted to um uh, they wanted a guy who He actually played a lot of double bass drum stuff and that's where scott fitted in right Was there when you first met the guys there must have been that awkward first few minutes, right? uh Hey everyone or maybe not or maybe not or maybe not everyone. It's me less Uh, I'm sure there was that a little bit of tension. I mean I couldn't see after those many years A hap or maybe it was a very a celebratory sort of uh, you know a feeling. I don't know Uh, not not in my case. Certainly not now um, I never had any Any particular problems is only only the guys in the band, you know um The problems I had was with the management that the band had back then Not not their current management, but the management that they had back then Uh, and within six months Of me leaving the band The management they had then Went into liquidation You know so Uh, yeah, yeah, you know, I didn't have any problem with the guys. So when I met them again It's good to see them all, you know, especially, you know, uh, you know glenn as you know Has had some health problems So It was nice to see him, you know, and the fact that he was able to get up by It's great Yeah, yeah And you know reading rob helfer's latest book, I mean You know being a fan since the 80s and seeing, you know, the dual guitars There's a little bit of surprise for me to see that Whatever, you know misunderstanding However, you want to phrase between ken and glenn dated back so far back according to rob Did you was that the same with your time in the band or is always that little competitiveness or friction between the two But the friction between what sorry between ken and glenn Uh, well, I think that's you know It's probably been all over social media and stuff like that You know, it's not something I particularly wanted to get into Absolutely, yeah You know, I I know ken Uh, had certain issues issues that he wasn't happy about but that's all been out in the open for some time um Whether whether that ever improves to the point where they get on again. I have no idea I remember reading in the like we were reading rob helfer's book recently and he was talking about Unleashed in the east, right?  It wasn't getting paid Yeah, yeah, you weren't getting paid and we talked about that last time we interviewed you Um, but I guess for my to my surprise in rob's book for Unleashed east when he talks about Redoing all the vocals I mean For the I mean, he says it, you know, he says it in his book I mean, did you know at the time that he was redoing all his vocals or that you were already gone from the band by then? um, well I I was asked to go and see the bands manager. There's a guy called Mike Dolan at the time And so I went into the office to see him. He said you want to discuss the bands, you know next move Because we just finished a long tour Yeah, and we were taking a break well earned break And normally what we would do Take some time off to start writing new material and get in back into the studio make the next album And uh, you got to remember that when you've been touring for several months at a time You just not a lot of the variation in the set that you're playing and So it's kind of good You know once you've finished the tour to take a break and start thinking about Creating new fresh material Uh, but um, the manager said to me the guys are all down at startling studios in ascot Uh, which is wringo star studio With tom allen was the first time that he'd worked with tom allen was producer And uh, he said they've been listening to the tapes from Japan Uh, and he said it all sounds really good and uh, he said we think that could be the next album Um, well, of course The first thing that entered my head was why the hell it was nine-byte done at the studio Alarm bells My opinion was irrelevant obviously, you know, um, so You know, it was all part of the the whole thing about being treated You know like a second a second class citizen, you know And um So The first time I heard that album or heard the the recordings was when the album came out on vinyl You know So the drum tracks Weren't altered. They're all exactly as they were played live So we've confirmed that your drums have not been tampered with right? I never entered the studio. Okay. All right, so I couldn't tell you what um You know what patching up was done Okay, I wasn't there to witness it all all I know is is that um I I I've listened to several times obviously and uh, to me it all sounds You know, just as we played it on the night. Um, I think I think Rob was entirely happy with his vocals on it because he had some kind of Throat infection or cold at the time So he wanted to patch up some of the broke. I doubt if he I doubt if he did them all He did them all apparently from his book and I mean correct me if I'm wrong, Alan He said what he did is he took the mic and he sang the whole show in one shot At least that's from my memory. I don't know if I'm correct It is less according to his book or Rob said that he did have a cold He wasn't happy with the vocals and and he kind of recorded them all So he didn't mention anything about any of any other parts being replaced or strictly his vocals Yeah, but the whole the whole sort of now did they punch in certain parts of his vocals from that recording? Perhaps right? We don't know Well, I don't know unless I was in the studio at the time. I couldn't really comment but um, you know When you when you say that you've Read on anything whether it's vocals or guitar solos or whatever Then you get accused of It's not it's not a real live album. You know, which is rubbish, you know, it's you know Uh, apart from I mean, there's very few live albums that any band has made That aren't uh, spruced up in in the studio To to make the best of them. Why would you you know? Um, so I don't think there's anything new about that um To me, it's it's predominantly all all live apart from money I think they've done with robb's vocals to improve on that Yeah, yeah, all right. Um And of course robb has um Met, you know, I haven't read those comments you that you just made About what he said in his book um, but um, you know if It sounds like he's not trying to uh, no he's a very and you know what hats off to robb for Being transparent, right? Yeah, and you know hats off the people knew but he kind of put Spoke a little more in depth about it like he Knew about it, but he said he ran the whole vocals for the whole show. He did him in one take live in the studio Now what did they keep and what they didn't they keep in the mix? We don't know but it's okay. He was transparent. It's all good Yeah, well, it's probably done to tom olem in the end. What you know, that's right. Yeah, it's producing it Maybe there was a couple of live moments that he sounded brilliant, right? They would have kept that right so It is what it is What else you got? No, I just uh, you know Congratulations again. Well deserved. Uh, I'm glad you were inducted Your time of the band was definitely just as important as anybody else's because you those are the stepping stones the leads like you said to the breakthrough in us and England with the FM radio and and So well deserved and Congratulations again. Thank you very much I I think less stained class is the fans Favorite 70s album from judas priest if we were to sort of summarize, right? Definitely the number one album From the 70s at least for me it is so yeah, um Well, when I was in los angeles for this, uh, this event There were a lot of fans around the hotel and uh, and you know They had masses of albums You know um And I think a lot a lot of us being re-released on vinyl. It seems to be a And in vinyl again Uh, so yeah, a lot of them had a lot of them had that album and um You know, I've read a lot of comments that people have made about it.  Um So, you know, you meet the band and it's it's a nice meeting with them. Did you have a beer with them? Did you hang out a little bit with them mix and mingle? I mean that was were you sort of reconnecting sort of in a sense, right that friendship and What happened there well The first time I met them On this occasion was uh at the rehearsal Which was at the venue On on Thursday before before the show And uh, there's some dressing rooms and whatever backstage So we we we we sort of that's when we actually had The most time together Um Let me think um, so there was you know, we had sort of different schedules, you know, put it like that So we weren't uh That was the only time that we had an opportunity to all be together at the same time Um, so it was very limited Hmm So it was like the kk camp with you and then the priest camp sort of like sort of separated in a sense, right? Like amicably.  I assume right well kk and I flew out together Ah, yeah, okay. Yeah, he threw a airport in London and we flew back together um But um The do you go to realize of course that uh, the band is actually was actually on tour Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes so we we I think glenn myself glenn and kk We had to fly over from the uk Yeah, just for the event whereas the others were coming from Other part of some other part of america where they happened to be on tour And you know Myself and kk were joining them just for that event uh, so you had The current lineup of the band as it is today and myself and kk Joining them for the robin wall hall of fame induction. Yeah um So as I say the only time we we had any Uh, you know social socializing or time together was probably uh at the rehearsal session all right And and my burning question that I have here is when you and kk flew back That beautiful statue is that was that in checked or was it held on to you in the plane? Did you but in baggage or you brought it on the plane as a carry-on? Did it have its own seat? What do you think about it? That's a good question. Alan put that in a suitcase And then a baggage handler gets on to it and you know the sort of reputation they have But I thought well this little bit at the top this little gold disc thing in the top It's probably the most fragile thing that would get broken So this all got wrapped up and bubble wrap and all kinds of stuff Uh, just to make sure it got home in one piece Which it did luckily enough so they mailed it to you. That's what you're saying It wasn't on it was on the flight with you it went in my suitcase Okay I I think you misunderstood the question. Did you bring it on the plane with you or did you did you let them put it In the baggage in the baggage section I went in with the baggage Brave man, brave man, but as I say it was very well protected I wouldn't I wouldn't have put it in as it as it is You know I'd be more worried about them losing it than anything. I would have just wrapped it in my you know underwear and socks problem Do you have any mu less do you have any new music? Are you working on any new music? Sorry, are you working on any new music? Uh, not at the moment.  So it's good. It's good timing You know, it's a pleasure lesson. We're really happy for you. We think it's well deserved, you know to be inducted Along with priest. I'm really happy that they've included you and they've sort of Will you call it? appreciated your your your input into the band at that time period Yeah, I agree with you We I think we've had many inductees into the heavy metal hall of fame But I think this is a first to have somebody on the show from the rock and roll hall of fame. Yeah. Yeah, um Well, it's kind of a little confusing for people when they watch it because you know, there's a little it's called the rock and roll hall of fame If we had dolly partner this year, that's right And we had a man That's right. That's right. So it seems to cover a wide genre of musical styles Yeah, a lot of people say it should be called the music hall of fame, you know, just to sort of keep it simple Well, I think I think Judas Priest is only maybe the third metal band to to be inducted You guys stole the show that's definitely It showed that you know People are hungry hungry to see some real rockers get in right and you guys definitely stole the show If you ask me and maybe because I'm a metal that maybe I'm biased. I don't know but It's kind of like stained glass with you, you know, you're only gonna that's that's what you like, right?  I think you guys definitely I don't think dolly stole the show. I think you guys stole the show That's what I'm trying to say Maybe dolly and rob. Dolly's doing a metal album now. So yeah, yeah, apparently you influenced everybody that night That's right. That's right be good to hear dolly Making a metal album wouldn't you know But I think I think I need to get more metal bands into that. I think I think the first one was probably Black Sabbath Yeah They were inducted and then of course metallica Uh, Judas Priest. I can't think of anyone else the purple Scorpions, you know, I did a thing. I did a show in france With a priesthood band and it was with uh, Ian Pace Oh I'm one of the question. I did some interviews before before the show and One of the questions they asked me was a much competition between uh Judas Priest and Be purple in terms of uh, you know, heavy metal bands And I said, well Funny enough, I never really thought of um Dave purple as a heavy metal band You know So I mentioned this to Ian and he agreed with me Uh, he said no, no, he said um hard rock. He described it as hard rock band So, yeah, I think the competition between priests has always been with maiden iron maiden and Judas Priest, you know from That's always been the sort of Think about how Metal music came about the earlier bands like Led Zeppelin, you know, they they could sound really heavy and riffy and stuff, you know Yeah And yet they had a lot of acoustic Music But I but you know, you I said, I suppose a lot of people who are into metal music were probably like You know, Led Zeppelin too, you know uh Andy purple But when you think about the metal music today, there's certain bands that that fit that category. I think better than they do, you know Rob Reiner from anvil. He said I don't play heavy metal. I play swing with my drums, but really fast So it's so, you know, he goes, I don't play metal at all I just play swing really fast. So, you know, people think it's metal I mean, when you think of stained glass, it was probably one of the first real speed metal albums Not to say that deep purple didn't have any fast songs, but in that sort of Direction in terms of drumming, I would say I'm not sure were you playing double bass on a stained glass I don't remember if you were you weren't Exciter is the track you're thinking of Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah That has a double bass drum intro Exciter is a fast song. Yeah, pretty much all the way through the song. Yeah. Yeah A lot of people cite that as The beginnings of speed metal You know There are a lot of bands that came along afterwards metal bands are quite influenced by that album And that and that song in particular Yeah, but Yeah, but You know, when you're making a record, you don't you're not really thinking that far ahead You're not thinking is this going to influence anyone in the future. You started a genre and you didn't even know Well, you know you you just um That actually that came about that particular song Exciter just came about uh from a sound check Uh You love it. I was just um when we're getting the drum sound together and I just Uh got this idea in my head and I guess I just launched into Uh What eventually became the drum intro intro to Exciter and uh And then I stopped and and Len Picked up on it and he he said Play out again less, you know, so I did and um, and then he joined in with the guitar riff, you know and The song kind of developed from there on We didn't have a finished song of that point obviously, but um, that was how it all that was how that began That's the that's the bad thing about how they the sort of reference song writing, you know, they'll never look at the drum patterns They'll never look at You know, sort of the structure that that that led to the bigger idea as a sort of song writing, right? Like you kind of wrote that song, right? But I would think that you were credited in the sense that the traditional sense of crediting, you know, lyrics and melody, right? So that's unfortunate. Yeah Just the way things are Uh You know You you play every every member of the band plays an important part in in creating the song structure and And how the end result turns out um so I mean if you think of the guitar solos, um That's the guitarist's input on that song Yeah, since I wrote as you know, I wrote um beyond the realms of death I wrote that song Along with Rob, he wrote the lyrics come up with all the lyrics to it and the title but I was always impressed with the The guitar solo that Glenn came up with in the middle, you know um, yeah That added a lot To the song But he doesn't get credited for that You know, yeah song was credited to me and Rob Yeah, yeah, yeah, so quite often, I mean in a song like Exciter obviously the drum intro the drum part plays a strong role in the in in the way that the um You know the song is presented And uh under you know That was largely done to me in that respect but um it uh I'm not right. I'm not writing the melody and I'm not writing the lyrics, you know so, you know It's it's a joint effort No, no, I agree. I agree. Who's got a question for in our final, I guess few minutes here Who's got a question for less? I know there's people watching there's people texting in that i'm ignoring But who's got a question for less? That's really think of a cool question Um less I got I got one while we're waiting here. Yeah, you know, I spoke to numerous drummers and uh one of the main constant with the discussions is They're Ian Pace as a drummer. Would you like you said you you played with them in france? Would you like to comment on his drumming and his influence on the many drummers in the early 70s? Uh, yeah, I loved Ian's drumming on with Dave Perple, you know, um In fact, he was one of my main influences at the time. Mm-hmm when I started playing um You know, we've we've been through the era with the Beatles and stones and all that Um, but then then then you had then you had Jimmy Hendrix come along cream then Led Zeppelin, of course, john bonham has been You know one of my favorite drummers as well Ian Pace with uh with Dave Perple um So those in terms of the rock drummers those were the main influences that I had, you know um listening to those bands and later on um I got into um people like Billy Cobham Kemp and the jazz fusion kind of side of things But um the role there's so many phenomenal players out there and If you move from one Style of music to another Um, you'll find drummers doing something slightly different in each genre And so it's good to listen to a wide spectrum of music because yeah, yeah, yeah So from even though you might not wish to be playing in a band necessarily playing that particular style of music There are certain elements that you can you can uh take from uh say you know A funk band or whatever, you know and incorporate that into um into The rock side of things and or metal side of things um, and it gives you a much wider of a musical vocabulary To to pick to pick things out from Less here's a question from k-man does Do you know that you are mentioned in neil k's new book? I'm not even sure what you're mentioned as someone just wrote the question Neal k's been on the show a few times I guess But you have been mentioned in his book and I'm assuming it's a positive thing so Oh When's the last time you saw neil k? I don't know. I haven't I haven't I haven't spread any comments that he's made so I don't really know Have you ever met neil k in the past from the sound house? No, I haven't no, okay. I mean well apparently he wrote about you And neil's a pretty pretty cool dude, so I'm so I'm assuming it was some really positive notes I hope Be back to port does less ever be back to port-a-down these days. I'm assuming that's a place, right? That's called port-a-down Port-a-down. Where is that? It's a little town in county arma In northern arla. It's about 20 About 20 miles south of balfast Okay, that's where I was born and grew up there. Oh, wow. Okay Yeah, I don't know if you can tell from my accent I moved to london in the early 70s. You're kind of like it's a mix your accent's a little mixed there, right? So it's uh It's it's somewhere between british and irish Yeah It's probably mellowed out a lot more over the years Yeah, but um, yeah, so that's where I was from that's where I was from and I still have family there And so um, I'll usually Take a trip there. Maybe once or twice a year Just to catch up with with family and Touch base with everybody again All right, what does less drink for beers? Guinness It can't be irish and not drink Guinness So no murphys Murphys now, I'll have a murphys from time to time. Yeah Okay, what types of sticks from chris tag? What types of stick symbols drums? Do you prefer? Okay, this could be like a long answer here, but go ahead What type of sticks and Sticks symbols and drums. Do you prefer? Uh Well, I have my own sticks made by uh, the london drumstick company Okay, so they've they've been very good um So they make my signature sticks What shall I have here somewhere? This will work Yeah, look at that You can see those Hey, look at that those are my sticks the drums I've used over the years many different manufacturers money different drums I probably the things I have most of all are snare drums and get most drummers have Several snare drums to choose from each one of its own character I have quite a few solid shell six and a half inch deep No drums that are made from uh steam bent one piece one piece maple uh It's a the chap called johnny craviato There's an image of what you've heard of him craviato And uh, he's passed away now unfortunately, but he made some fantastic custom made snare drums And this company still exists today. They still still make them. So I've got a few of his which he signed inside um And I've played all kinds of drum manufacturers on all kinds of kits over the time when I was what What do you think about the snare drum on sane anger? That's a joke Metallica sane anger. What do you think about the snare drum on sane anger? It's like you don't have to answer that On the album sane anger by metallica I haven't heard it. Oh sounds like a trash can Oh, yeah, and somebody made a comment about the new album about the bass drum song I don't know. I haven't heard that other Yeah Frazier saying have you ever thought about doing a drum video? You know a drum video online, you know, like those drum video instructional videos um There's so many out there um And I've never done a a drum clinic either Oh, really, you know, um It's just um I'm more interested in playing with musicians and playing You know in a band setting um I know I'm nothing against anything like that, you know, it's just I just didn't feel right for me and for some reason Okay Now seagull saying would less consider writing a book Like an autobiography Um I have thought about it Um, so you never know I won't say I won't say yes for definite or no for definite It's a possibility. Maybe one day Okay, never say never All right on that note. We appreciate everybody's questions I we got as many as we could in there. I know there's a lot of statements a lot of positive stuff But we'll let you go less appreciate your time Uh And uh, congratulations. Alan. What do you have to say? No, congratulations again, and we're great to have you Think for the second time, right Jim? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Well, we'll have you again for a third time. We're gonna talk to you all again and good to see you all You bet there eventually Yeah, hopefully Talk soon. Thank you. Thanks less


Julian Loss, John McWiscarmore, and this is a great example of how to get accepted to the ROM session, yeah? When your title is something, something, something, chickens. Guaranteed accept.  Okay, so the title of the talk is actually the best of all the worlds. There's a team of reading protocols, four, but not limited to two, chickens. Okay, so this is a joint work with Tom and Ron. Okay, so suppose we are in the following setting. We have this large road here in the middle, and on the right hand side we have all McDonald's crypto farm. And so on this crypto farm we have a lot of different crypto animals. We have the drove of secret sharing sheep. We also have the predicate encryption pony, and there are also a lot of free roaming crypto chickens. And on the left hand side we have the pen, where the chickens sleep. So now consider the classical problem from crypto slash distributed computing. And the treatments are trying to decide whether they want to get from the left side of the street to the right side of the street, or vice versa. But the problem now is that birds of the feather are always flocked together. So this means that chickens either will all cross the street at the same time, or none of them will cross. And so the question is, how can the chickens ensure that they will all cross the street at the same time? So, being crypto chickens, they have actually come up with a very elaborate solution for this problem, which is to run a protocol for visit and agreement. I just heard about this in the previous talk. Okay, so this agreement will ensure that all of the chickens, you know, cross the road at the same time, and for the sake of this talk assume that the chickens are connected by a song gossiping network. And all of this of course would be easy, but the problem now is that you have malicious stocks which pose as chickens and try to prevent agreement for this Byzantine agreement protocol. And the chickens want to ensure that if there is some minority of malicious stocks posing as chickens, they can still achieve this agreement. And so far they've come up with two solutions. Okay, so for the remainder of the talk let me the number of chickens. So the first type of solution uses synchronized clocks. Okay, and this means that the chickens will receive in a large step type of fashion and, you know, they will receive in synchronized rounds and in this way they can actually tolerate up to n-half malicious stocks posing as chickens and they can still achieve agreement. Okay, but the problem is that typically chickens don't own watches. So this means that the only means of synchronization that is available to the chickens is the crow of the rooster at the beginning of each day. And because of this actually every synchronous round that the chickens will use in this protocol will actually have the length of an entire day. Okay, so I'm going to leave these synchronous protocols even in the constant round case. You know, I have maybe 20 rounds or something like this. So this means that just across the street the chickens will need 20 days to agree just across the street or not across the street. And this is not really a good solution. So fortunately the chickens have also come up with another type of solution which can do without synchronization. Okay, and if the gossiping network is fast then actually this type of solution this asynchronous type of solution will guarantee a very, very fast agreement. But on the downside this type of protocol can only tolerate and very dulls. Okay, so now the chickens have actually a very, very natural question which is can we come up with a protocol which is both fast and also robust? Okay, and the crypto chickens of course they're also interested in whether this protocol is actually optimal. And so if you're also interested in this question then please check out our e-print paper which is titled combining asynchronous and synchronous Byzantine agreement the best of both worlds. At the bottom you have the short URL. And I would like to conclude with an open question which is why did the chickens tried to cross the road in the first place? They could have just stayed in the pen. Thank you very much for listening.


Yeah. So let's talk to Barry here, or let's let Barry share his thoughts about external monitors and such because there's there's things for us all to learn here. So Barry says, I listened to episode 913 when listener Jim had a question about his favorite or our favorite 27 inch monitors. He says I've had a 2015 IMAC for quite a while, but it's been in storage since the M ones came out. It's unfortunate since there is no target display mode that would allow me to use it as an awesome external display. Yeah, that's true. They target display mode went away with retina screens because there was no way to get that amount of bandwidth in to the Mac to the display. Or so we were told. He says there is a solution that I've tried recently that's working very well. It's called Luna display luna display from astropad.com. One of its primary purposes is to allow an iPad to be used as a second screen for your Mac. However, that has been partially surelocked by sidecar. Of course, Luna display also works really well Mac to Mac or even Windows to Mac both Macs need to run Mac OS 10 11 or later, and it will run software on each side to display properly. Note that the displays can be a bit slower to refresh than native and at 5k there is the caveat of only 45 Hertz refresh rate. But it looks gorgeous to me and is really nice that I can still use this machine as a great big high res second display. So yeah, that's pretty cool. We'll put a link to to Luna display there in the show notes. That 45 Hertz I think it's and I'm I'm speculating here john but bear with me on this. I don't think the refresh rate of the screen gets lowered to 45 Hertz. I think the refresh rate of the image being sent to the screen is maxed out at 45 Hertz. I don't think you're going to get like weird issues with your lighting conflicting with the display. I think you still get the display's native refresh rate. But you're just like you're not probably not going to be happy sending games to it or things like that that would need faster refresh. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. So nice, right? I'm almost certain I've seen an ad for this and one of my I think Instagram and it was like, Oh, remote display. That's cool. Yeah, as long as you keep up. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, and that's it is it can keep up with simple things. But probably not what you're going to want to use for gaming or things like that. But you know, I mean, look at what we all well, look at what I use my secondary monitor for it's where I put like my chat apps. I'll put some like, you know, if I have activity monitor open or something, I'll have that over there. I use the thing called garage pay to track our PayPal stuff. And so that sits on my secondary monitor it down in the office, you know, so it's it's super handy. And I definitely like to have messages and slack and all that stuff open. But it's I'm not I don't like 45 Hertz like fine, whatever, it's all good. As long as it, as long as it works. So yeah, I kind of like that. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, they don't really go into detail about the wireless technology they're using. No, no, they don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, all they say is yeah, available for USBC, HDMI and mini display port. Okay, that's nice. Yeah, it's good. Right. Yeah, exactly. Or maybe it's buried in there. I'll, I'll have to poke around. Okay, I'm curious. What are they using? Another own thing or I think it is their own thing. Yes, I think the way that it works is yeah, there, it's their own thing. But yeah, it's cool.


Going on everyone Sam here with late in sports cards have been four boxes for Mario G.

Our boys were back with another video another breakdown video live game plan playing with the current Eagles team Which is my best CFM team actually a really good team and we're playing the Titans right now We are 11 and 0 in this CFM looks like we're on the short track to get the number one seed in NFC for sure as we see The Saints are 10 and 2 bucks or 9 and 2 so I gotta stay pace got two games up on those guys We're playing the Titans now who are actually 8 and 3. I don't know who this guy is So we'll see the Titans that I remember this is regular teams We'll take a look at his abilities once we get into the game I got a lot of questions a lot of comments below man. If you guys like this series. Let me know I will also Try to answer as many questions as you have one of the main questions I've gotten is Zone drops when you zone drops for me. I don't use them very often as you guys know I play a lot of man-to-man So when I put zones, they're normally just helper zones and most of the times when I put them They are we're down inside the red zone. So when I'm inside the red zone, I like to make them Like to put them on 30 that way They stay back into the end zone. I hasn't worked the best, you know, so then CFM and mutt It was great because the zones I put were amazing They had pick hardest everything and CFM it hasn't worked as well But for me, I definitely was looking forward or that's what that's when I use zone drops The one thing I do use probably more than most people and I'll talk about it on defense as we get here We're playing mr. Daddy man. He is a in three. So I don't know if this guy is good I really don't know anything about him, but we'll see now What I do use like I said more than anybody is the play the sticks feature What the play the sticks is it puts your zones right at the yard mark So I tend to have my zones on default most of the game until they get close inside the red zone Then I'll put them on 30 and for me When I like when I do play the sticks if I get to like a third and eight But if my zones are on 30 now I can play the sticks and I can get my zones to play right at that ten-yard mark or five-yard mark or one-yard mark even So it's kind of like having zone drops on You know throughout the entire field if that makes sense, you know You can put a ten-yard flat zone whenever you need to so for me That's what I use more than zone drops as you see here But this team is tough because CFM I've been running two-man under I think it's the best CFM defense because you're not really going to get agged the bumping is kind of Random it hurts offensive players. I'm gonna pause the game and take leaders abilities real quick as I almost forgot What he has Malik will as you see it there Malik will is CD lamb short out short in so that's the right thing to beat man coverage Kendall Fuller to knockouts Jayron curse to knockouts Shaquille Leonard inside stuff Tyler boys short in deep out Inside shade deep knockout so and inside stuff So he's gonna run some man coverage. He has the right abilities on his wide receivers to get open So we're gonna have our hands full if he knows what he's doing as we have Bradbury gun bunch tight end so This I like to put this guy over here and this I don't know who this tight end is. I really don't I'm just praying that he's not gonna be sleigh right there And he's really not fumble first play. Let's go does he not have it? I didn't see that I guess he does not have a what's him a call it a Edge threat or what's him a call it? Yeah? That's knocked out. Oh, no, it's not Somehow greedy Williams got ran right by All right, so bunch tight end play action every play that means I don't have to guard the running back. I Actually ran right there tough. Where's my inside stuff boys? All right, so We don't have to guard the running back. I have sleigh on the tight end Is that a waste? That's what I'm thinking right now gun tight He can audible a goal line here, which is just nasty. This is I don't know what this I mean. Oh My god Good play. I got a guard him all the way through there. Good play Yeah, I got a guard. I got to just guard him all the way through I kind of guarded him a little bit. Hope my pass rush would get there I don't know why they do that audible to five wide out of goal line I really don't know Maybe it's all running backs or tight ends and wide receivers that I see there Is that why they all I don't know what it was I think it was two tight ends and three wide receivers audible to five wide Which I've seen but for some reason when I see a zero Pop up on it when I when I see a zero pop up on the personnel I think it's goal line, but it was actually audible to five wide But I feel great because he doesn't have an edge protector Hassan right. It's gonna have a great day We just can't give up those big plays that we gave up now here I also hear people say why don't you use for wide receivers? Most of time it's not worth it because tight ends are good in this league or in this with this team. It's worth it because I have Cleswalk is 97 speed the Sean Jackson 94 speed Devante Smith and AJ Brown. I also have Dallas Goddard who's probably not worth taking out of the game either, but You know, I'm cool with with where he's at now First thing I got to tell you is that he has man abilities all over and he's in baseline So I'm assuming he's gonna be manning up a lot of people You know Right there he just did a good job of hiding Chris Westry Yeah, he's gonna be manning up a lot of people DB fire. I had said a million times I want to snap the ball quickly here. I Really just wanted to get on a hash mark right there on that play Just because I just it's more predictable what they're gonna do So if you have five man abilities, I think you're gonna be manning all these guys up You know, which is cool and the first person you got to make a man up is the running back It's the first thing you got to do Make them man up the running back So I try to snap the ball right away as fast as I can really Was Watkins Burnt him over the top good read. I don't know how lucky we didn't get knocked out right there So he manned up every single person on that play if you guys watch now I see that when I do the ball every single person was manned up He's pinching his line here. So AJ Brown tutty. That was free Snap the ball fast So best best best bet I could tell you guys don't let them do all these crazy adjustments You let somebody do all these crazy adjustments, you're gonna have be confused at the snap I don't want confusion at the snap man. I want basic zone. That's what we got on that play because we snapped the ball fast All right, he hasn't passed once which or hasn't run once which is Kind of good. He might run on this play though. Oh my god, man. Just like No matter how good your corners are is always that one guy that's gonna get popped, you know I don't worry about deep left since I put that guy in the middle. I Gotta worry about deep left Tyler Boyd has a bum he's got a bum on him. I'm actually gonna put this guy in his own here because of that Put this guy there purple zone That's fine He runs he got it. I really don't care. I have a purple zone Every blanket ship pick let's go Blair. Don't click on to anybody man You guys find me a bum But sometimes I swear to God just let the defense play every blanket ship making a huge play right there that purple zone over there Made him think twice he high balled there where if he does it regular it's probably a completion You know There we go. We want to attack the short side remember man attack the short side here So we want to do quick pass get rid of the ball. Nice.   You're just like not running the ball on it. It's just that it's just that good Let's give him some time here. See if you put some people in coverage that guy just went in coverage Well, you see who he's manned up to let's try to slide right We got one person Blitz and we slide right and we ID him AJ Brown's just not going to be guarded by any of your players that you have dude. He's just not Now what abilities you put on him is AJ Brown now chat tells me to run sneak here Which I might try but it's really bad So we're just gonna run stretch He's in dollar so 100% should run commit here. We're gonna try to get a free touchdown We got one nice. I said when someone's in dollar and you're in you're in I tight First down like they got around I would run commit, you know, I would Cuz like if you're in dollar and you're gonna let me run I'm eventually gonna pound an end zone right eventually So that's why I run commit. That's why I played a pass right there. This guy just asked me why aren't you streaming? It's tough. I'm gonna do that. I'm just worried about The deep corner, but I have slay on number three. He should be able to guard number three. Honestly, I mean, it's just no way like oh my god Almost want to shade up and shade out right now I just want all able to five wide here. That's this thing. He's in that formation. He might not he might who knows Right here. I just need to worry about this left side here. I'm not worried about anything else here There we go pick. Oh, just I mean We're good Everybody beat the press on the left. He was like predetermined. He was one throw that I'm starting to realize these guys that play CFM all the time. Like there's this is way different I'm starting to learn like five wide is that that play is like the best play in the game fade out. I Need to run that. Why don't I have that? All right? We know what play this is what I've learned so far is that you know Slay plays the tight end pretty well here. I'm gonna run with the deepest route here. I just said He does that on the Friday door.  Oh He's one of no huddle no doubt about it. He's one of no huddle. I just don't want him to run by him.  Let's go reddick There's only so much play action can save you man That's why when they ask me about who do you want abilities on bro?  I took a shot first down there back at end zone Can you blame me? Can you blame me for taking a shot?  Can you blow out in this game? Just here we go again It's just it's just unreal I'm not dessert if I just always hate that it's like right like if I could slide right there I would slide but you just you physically cannot slide right there. It's actually disgusting You know Quarterback draw this is really the bum CFM offense, dude It really is every bumming with no huddle every bum in the world runs five five wide worry about the slot receiver here I don't really care about him on the left really I Do but like I don't at the same time. Oh My god, it's no way. We're getting just beat like that.  I should have looked how fast the players are really worry about running back pass here I'm bailing out to the right running back past and I got I got a zone on the left to guard slant left I'm going slant right.  Oh my god All right. Now. This is where I'll put my zones on 30 Now I want to press this formation But I don't want to press. He's like milking the clock now. This is he's gonna run right here. Yep Two-minute warning. I could call time out, but I think the way he's playing don't disconnect man Please please please don't disconnect Please don't disconnect man. I really don't want to play CFM no more if you're gonna disconnect When he goes to five while I want to back the defense up and play that draw yellow zone I want to spy this guy.  It really is so bummy 35 He might snap throw running back here. He chew clock by accident. Yeah, he had a call time out. There it is All right, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put my I Don't want my zones on 30 yet. I think I still I'm gonna use that play sticks here He's gonna audible.  I swear. I really do We're gonna play sticks on this yellow zone here Hopefully he guards that play sticks. Hopefully he guards that quick throw. We're shaded up and we're shaded out Actually want back these dudes up I'm I'm guarding whip route Yep dumbass come on man. God.  Thanks for playing right there boys Please thanks for participating Because you had the five yard yellow zone underneath. He's gonna guard that quick pass He's eventually gonna guard the drag going right to left You have a zone on the left middle part of the field all you got worry about is outside right because you shade it up And shade it out so in a perfect world you won't get beat deep and boom just like that That's what we had to guard and people always tell me well. Well, how do you know where to lurk? That's literally where my weakness was on a field and also That's where you hit a big pass earlier in the game Remember he hit a big pass and not a big pass, but that's one of his dots especially short yard It's third and five that changes the game right there now. I can definitely just play it I don't even have to take any chances anymore default zones here feel audibles up what you probably will now because You know I'm in shambles, dude. I'm calling time Got a guard the right side here. We actually so let's play come on man. That's a pick pick artist dummy That's what I mean when I see my best corner against a no ability wire receiver. Yeah, leave him alone You have to know where your weaknesses are on the field and the fact he trusted to throw that was just he's in shambles right now Let's see if he mans everybody up here Nope, they man up the running back I should have went out of bounds there played a field. Well here it wins me the game for the most part though Let's see if he gets a twitch on the corners.  Let's go Have to make them guard the running back first and you have to snap the ball fast He's definitely gonna guard the running back this time. He just manned up the Sean Jackson with that guy So this means oh, he manned up both guys. So we're getting max coverage this play. He might have changed it there Yeah, he changed it a little bit there We'll take off what hurts good pocket. We're gonna call another timeout. This is the area where I wouldn't man people up Let's see what he does here. We got we got his user stuck AJ. Oh Come on kid. He's gonna be tired, too. That's the worst part. I wonder if I can put Goddard back in Yeah, there's those got it right there. I Know there's a way I can get Goddard back. I'm gonna take yeah, there's Goddard for one play And we got I'm gonna run the same play See, I don't think he'll leave it open here. We caught him on a detackle user. That's why I threw it I think he'll lurk there. So let's look for our running back here if he doesn't man them up Let's go Jalen gotta take those chances with a superstar quarterback, man touchdown I Had the running back to I had the running back his lurk was a little indecisive. I was a little afraid Honestly had Goddard again, but I just saw I Just saw Lane and I took a chance with Jalen hurts I have to right boys. He scores that in real life 10 times out of 10 Gotta take a chance with Jalen He fumbled earlier. I swear I fumbled more like when you're one yard from the line of scrimmage Then you do when you're down the field.  That's how I feel Here I just I just I just don't want to give up. Oh, he's gonna double team here. I gotta make sure you can't double team I'm gonna just run right into 75 Yep, perfect It's fine See what I mean about not letting them double team so my edge threat can run around the edge I mean, dude, I just like you know what I hate about this game forever I'm running so well with that wide receiver to guard it But we like tangled we tangled feet I bump into him a little bit and then I just get I left like I stumbled but the wide receiver doesn't That has always like like what how does that make any sense boys? You know what I mean? I've always hated that this whole year about the gears three interceptions Yeah, the one thing I'm realizing is that his wide receivers on the outside literally have No ability so it's like you're gonna get pressed to death here. I can have that just keep them in balance That's gonna make them use his last time out as a waste Now we're on 30 zones here Pratt, I don't even want to shade up because like like I said, dude His why receive was an outside don't have any ability. So Same thing. We cannot Let that dude get double team there. He can throw in the flat if he wants 11 seconds left right here. We're shaded up. We're shaded out. We have a yellow zone. We have a flat zone here I just want to put this guy here. I got I got corn around the right I got corn around the right I got corn around the right Everything else is funneled into those zones right there and they're on 30. It'll be standing They will be for these zones will be standing in the end zone Probably around the word mark if he puts the running back out, I got to guard the running back I just have to hear it's fine If he doesn't if he puts the running back out my edge That's gonna get right around the edge if he doesn't put the running back out then I can go lurk same thing That mid reach should play right in the middle of the end zone I could put a deep blue on him But I think a deep blue might go too far back that middle zone will stand right on the g and eagles I got corner out right nothing right. I got this guy Oh my god Okay, I'm glad I I'm glad I caught that I just almost fell asleep I that surprise it's like drops my heart when they throw passes like that like what in the world are you doing? Like you had like like I I almost didn't pick that off Because when you're lurking you're so ready for them to go to somebody that's open You're so ready for it and right there.  I didn't know I get the ball. So this game is cooked You know, he's beyond cooked right now He's probably thinking about onside kick or not You know the thing about here here's here's why I would have kicked the field goal there I would have secured I would have still tried to score But if you kick a field goal You can then allow me to kick you can force me to kick a field when it doesn't hurt you that bad, you know It's just it gives you a possession that you might need later in the game if you're gonna make a comeback You know if you're gonna make a comeback you're gonna need that field goal somewhere It's gonna help it's gonna help in your comeback the interception doesn't help I know it's probably like we're talking about the frosting on the cake like a relevant stuff that doesn't matter that much, but I mean It should matter that much, you know should let's go Devonte Now if you notice that play he played full out full out Ah, we got him. We got him in recent plays recent plays field will block love it love it He played full out zone right there. I hate being in the middle of the field. Why because A deep third might guard my corner out. He just manned him up. So that's gonna be I wish I could motion two people when one play that would be like ideal here Just everybody's manned up Here, I'm gonna try a quick snap. I've got got her in the game. We gotta get aj brown back in the game I'm actually gonna run the ball now. He has I think he has insides inside stuff on his dns Just probably tough, but like I said a million times if you double team them, they won't Or we just won't block the detackle. That's always good. I do you guys see why I rage All right, let's go back to our package, which is what tight end right? I believe Yeah, and we get yeah, we can keep it like this. We get Aj brown back in the game. You guys see why rage, right? He's clicking on so late to like make these tackles I said everybody's manned up here everybody zone straight zone straight. I didn't want to play with his user He guarded a flat to corner out over there. I didn't want to play with it I don't like throwing their user. Why not when I got free yards up the middle He might have audible right this spinner right there. He might have He did Let's stay out of here. Maybe he'll do that again if he's straight manned up every time boys Or let's try to hit him with this play. I don't see he doesn't have Like inside shades. I don't think but he had he might switch defense when they're taking a long time They're setting up a new defense No, he's in straight spinner and no the guy this guarding Quest right now is actually no ability So I'm looking for this touchdown to quest we're going to go double slants here We're going to ID the furthest that guy Hopefully we get some pass protection here. We got beautiful pass protection Beautiful play wide open wide open Find the player that doesn't have abilities to attack him you know That's one of the best features if you guys aren't using art is the right trigger and then up on the right stick to Look at what abilities people have. I know it mutt.  So I mean he hasn't had a shot on defense I honestly did I turn the ball over? I fumbled with the quarterback. That's You know I don't think my defense is crazy good. I just feel like All right, I'm going with the deepest route. I'm going with the deepest route. I'm going with the deepest route There's two crossers. I'm going with eyes. Got the running back. Good play Chew can do a hit stick That's one of the biggest different like when I see like bad players play or like mediocre players Tackling. All right, you do that. It would just flip everything Tackling is something you guys like It saves such a like look at that play that running back was wide open. You got four yards That just bump. Oh They're just bumped off a million people right there. I feel like my I feel like I gotta put my my purples here I'll put my purples on on 10 to try to stop those crossing routes a little bit better 10-yard purple here. We're here. Uh, I I hate Titan right now. That's cool. Oh my god I gotta be I gotta just commit to that more Just gotta commit to that more. That's that's my fault. I put so many zones on the field Pass commit or pass commit and shade it outside He audible is the tight. I'm actually gonna put deep blues because I'm not really sure what's gonna happen here. It's fine, dude. Good tackle. Nice play four yards You're up by 28 points, you know, you're not losing it at all.  Are you trying to slay with gallop again? That's a tough decision. See Leave slay. He was kind of beat right there, but He's on audible wide here.  Oh my gosh. I gotta move that guy down further about time, you know huddle too Yep, I didn't run to if I were you nice play, dude grow up You might as well quit this cfm. You're not winning it Thanks for the donation, buddy All right, we're shading it up right here. I don't really like that, but We're gonna stay on this guy right here. Try brad berry, please Oh The bot play there it is the pa slot cross Where would these bots be without it? Where would they be without that play? All right. I mean listen our defense isn't good It's been two drives his quarter because how many tackles did we make? He hasn't scored and we have a lead. So he just milked the whole quarter. Why by me What's him call it by taking my time Making tackles now. We're at the 17 yard line now. We're gonna put and we can't do anything I'm just gonna pause now. We're gonna put our zones on 30 and we're gonna play coverage And tackle, you know Same thing tight Shade up shade out This is this is beyond fine.  This is the best playing a game to beat man coverage spinner Left side wide open user catch come back it away from the knockout Who cares if he has deep knock at medium knockout user catch get back to get back to it It's the best play in the game to beat man coverage blitz like this. You should run it every play Every play. Let's see what he does now. He puts it put a couple zones A.J. Brown just front. Okay overthrown All right, that's how we played a couple zones. Let's put the Sean Jackson over here in the money route here I don't need to I can use quest walkings. Honestly Oh, he actually put an ability over there. So let's put let's put AJ or uh davante smith on a corner out here He 100 has playing coverage here. I think that's my bet Oh, he's not tough But I knew like what's crazy is I anticipated coverage But that was my read if he blitzed. I knew I knew like buttons again. Look at his corners Studs his safety stud on the right side. What does that mean? Davante. Oh, he just audible might have audible the zone Might be db fire. Honestly, I think I think it is I really don't know but I think I've had a touchdown on The slant the streak there Ah, man, I'm gonna run the ball here. Davante Smith just got hit. He's tired No, he's running bench.  I'm gonna run That's that that's the adjustment you got to worry about. It took me a while I read right to left right there. So it took me a while to actually make that read But when they put the outside corner in a cloud or a flat or a hard flat or a deep blue This is like cover three or something. This is like I don't know if it's cover three or what it is, but I'm gonna assume it's coverage And we got him on that guy. It could be a big play hit is Got him Dollar is so Look cover three cloud Dollar is so used that you know exactly when they line up and when they don't it's hard to explain but If you play against it enough, you know, you play against one guy that runs Spinner all game you see where they're lined up all the dbs are kind of on the same line One of the zero coverage all the dbs are like at eight to ten yards Your corners your safety safeties are the biggest tell to what defense what coverage they're in in dollar So when you see that his safeties are at 12 to 15 yards, they're in zone And the biggest tell with cover two Right is The biggest Tell with cover two is actually Hell no. Oh my god. The corners on the outside will only be five yards off It's one of the biggest tells with cover two If they're like eight to ten yards off, then you're gonna get a little cover three action there He's put he's then this I talk about my offense, but he's done a good job of actually attacking avante medics Who is my worst corner? Just never mind maddox could play maddox I don't know why he didn't throw this the streak that he put up the middle of the field But you know, he wanted to do that I don't know if this was a bad example of this game. I thought this guy would be better. I really don't think he's 42 to 7 Uh One I think I'm better than him and this team is that much better than him You know, so it's a tough spot. So I'm throw it at me.  Oh my god.  This act pass cool Like what are we doing man? Try to press right here.  Or do I keep them on the outside to lock up the outside I put those guys in quarters out there Look how look how locked up that is dude bradbury That sound ready a sleigh on the right side. That's why I've kept them on the outside Just because they've done such a good job. Don't worry about This streak on the outside here home the good hit dubby So that's what I mean like where are you gonna lurk? What are you gonna do? I knew I was gonna go there before the play started Yeah, like I said zone drops here. I would have them on 30 They might still be on 30 and the only way I change that is if I use uh What you can call it if I use If I use that 30 say I gotta I gotta put this guy here Oh, he's gonna flip this to do like this is just so bummy. I'll put this guy on a third here And my guy obviously is just not do one more hot route I mean cfm is just a joke That's a middle third going to the middle of the field and just let's that go by is I he goes for two down this many points. I hate these kids, man.  I really do hate them He's gonna scramble here. I'm actually gonna not have a yellow zone here.   I swear to goodness and I like dude I'm just gonna I'm gonna run the clock out. I've had enough man We'll see what he does. I'm gonna run a clock out This video is already at 30 minutes 40 minutes Hope you guys like this. I try to just talk as much as I can and You know Oh, he doesn't have any time else And go through as much and a lot of what I do I I process so quickly that it's hard to like talk about it and talk about it in time that that I can actually Communicate it the right way, you know I just hate like look at the like all right. So this is the thing here I want to get to that line if I get to that linebacker. I score a new I like I just run just goes off I'm gonna add an extra blocker if I can block this linebacker, which is actually Spotlighted. Oh, we actually got to him and just didn't block him too well, but You know, it's like when they pinch dollar That's the hardest thing to do. I'm gonna try to quick snipe here and just get a place Blitz and both Blitz and one Wide open and Kelsey was the one that got beat right there Wide open and Kelsey was the one that got beat. I almost want to punt.  This is why we punted. I don't want him anywhere near the end zone. I really didn't Like there's just no way I go get no swat and no nothing like these kids suck, dude Like this is just miserable football man. It really is miserable cfm Like what am I supposed to do right there now? He's just gonna chuck Audible up and chuck dude and bounce, please. Thank you Oh my god, like what is your point right now? Just go to bed. That's how it should just makes me mad boys Good game, dude.  This is why I like my defense 30 yard zones all the way around We're gonna funnel.  I gotta call time out They all want to throw the tight end cross or the tight end poster to tight end when we run trips tight end Just tight end is such a popular Formation inside the 15 inside the 20 They all want to do it as tight. This is why I put my zones on 30 because They will have They will 100 have a zone Or they will have routes to pull down those zones on the left to throw to their tight end So if you guys watch it That tight ends going on the post let them go in a post see my zones They didn't get manipulated anywhere not a ball didn't get there because we actually got a shed But the but my the point is and I doubt they'll let me replay it on that play because it wasn't a completion My zones didn't drop back at all or didn't come up at all. Here we go. Exactly what I mean Why put them on 30? You see number 33 Eric row and we see uh number who is this? 23 I don't even know who that is my safety But you see they don't even they just they're staying right there for that tight end route Now most people now this guy this was a last-ditch effort But most people will have like a whip route down here Or they'll have a hitch route to pull down your yellow zones and your purple zones and stuff But because you put them on 30 that way they don't react now sometimes I'm not a fan of zone drops. I'm really not because I feel like they just play flat footed They just stand there even when they're in the middle of the field a five a five yard zone a 20 yard zone They'll go to their drop and they'll stand there But for this I like it because they're going to play in the end zone, you know They're going to play in the end zone. They're ready to rally up make a tackle everything like that So that's why down here. I put it on 30 yards and that's exactly why I put in the ball there I didn't want him to score any points at the end of the game. You know, I did it just didn't It made me mad when he scored those one points. But anyway, like I said that guy was eight and three I mean he knew the meta he ran the meta We just fried we just played really well. We didn't make mistakes. He made mistakes It's a difference between me and a lot of these kids and I'm gonna tell you a lot of people ask your defensive tips The number one thing is man people will beat themselves as you see right there with 12 and 0 in the cfm I might do all the eagles games like this. Honestly help you guys out Like I said comment what you need more help with any questions you have on the game Or anything involved or anything that you saw that you want to know more about let me know boys I appreciate you guys still rocking with these man videos.

We're only going home for the night. I got to leave tomorrow evening again so I'm filming this on a Saturday and I've got to leave tomorrow night got to deliver that load which I left in our yard in the fenced yard We're gonna deliver Monday morning and then come straight back empty and then I'm home for a while So Monday night, I'll be back and then we have mats. That's coming up. I'm flying out for one day I'll be there on Thursday. I'm meeting some friends there and it's still a bit of a surprise of what's all going on I want to hype you guys up a little bit, but I can't tell you everything that's going on right now My schedule is fully booked on Thursday. So I don't know exactly when to tell you where I'll be and when Or if I'll have time to come and hang out or what's going on But if you're going to be at Matt at Matt's on Thursday Let me know actually it'll all make sense as time goes on besides by the time you're watching this Actually Matt's on when you're watching this because this gets released the next Saturday, but I'm already back at home So if you were at Matt's Let me know down below in the comment section. Were you there? Did you see me? Did you get to come say hi to me? So a bit of a funny story before we go. I wanted to tell you So this morning when I was in Fargo doing my pre-trip obviously I have to open my hood check everything under the hood check the oil and everything and The wind was coming from in front of the truck going over the truck So it kept wanting to blow the hood back over So I struggled with it for a little bit and then I figured out you know I'm gonna turn the truck around So I just started up at least I could check the oil because I don't like turning over the engine until I check The oil because once you check the oil it's all through the engine It's not gonna give you an accurate reading right unless you let it sit for at least 10 minutes if the oil is warm But if it's cold like that you start it up you turn it off Well, now it's not gonna give you an accurate reading at all because it's gonna be it's gonna take forever for it To go back down to the oil pan or right anyway, so I Figured you know what I checked the oil oil was fine So let's turn this thing around so this hood stopped trying to close on me So while I was coming around here to put it down it started to fall down again, right? Standing on this side of the truck here I Grabbed this light to stop it that lights not designed for that Broke it right off Can you tell I fixed it a Bit of gorilla glue actually worked great on that so in here There's two bolts That are stuck in there and actually pulled those bolts out That's what those screws screw into and that's what holds it down, right? Those screws stayed on the screw, but broke out of this housing So I took the screws off of the bolt fit the bolt back into the The housing where they're supposed to be and then I glued them in there with gorilla glue or gorilla glue in there first I stuck them in there It works does that make sense? It's hard to explain it to you if you don't know if you never installed these before but And gorilla glue saved the day my visor still doing good Few thousand miles now and that thing hasn't come off again. I have to glue it to my windshield up there with gorilla glue That's the only way to secure it on there And every few months or so the glue comes loose and I gotta shave it off and clean it up and redo it It's a bit of a nuisance I might be replacing it Maybe when I do the frame I might replace that too because this visor as much as I love it I love because it's got like my logo etched in here. It's got the bulls not logo etched in over there, right? On that side, you can't really see it from here But the visor it's I have to mount it up like this the way it is now because I ordered it too low If I put it down or any lower I tracked the wrong kind of attention and I can't see where I'm going either And the way it's mounted to the windshield there. I just don't understand that I Have to constantly keep fixing it's been it's been a bit of a pain. So We'll see Might be replacing that But anyways gorilla glue holds out up there and gorilla glue holds this here It's not just glue like don't get me wrong. The whole thing's not held on by glue It's mounted with bolts on the side of the truck It's just that centerpiece that rests against the windshield because I have a one-piece windshield, right?  Yeah, it's a little bit of a pain You see it But that's okay. I like it though looks better than the factory one anyways and has the custom logos. I really do like it. I Just ordered it a little bit too big. It's it's too big That's okay We'll figure that out.  Thanks everybody. I'll see you tomorrow tomorrow.
