I remind members of the Covid-related measures that are in place and that face coverings should be worn when moving around the chamber and across the Holyrood campus. The first item of business is consideration of business motion 3453, in the name of George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, setting out revisions to today's business. I call on George Adam to move the motion. No member wishes to speak on the motion. Therefore, the question is that motion 3453 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The motion is therefore agreed. The next item of business is general questions in order to get in as many people as possible. I would be grateful for short and succinct questions and responses. At question number one, I call Gordon MacDonald. To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has in place to support World Book Day on 3 March 2022. Minister, Jamie Hepburn. At today is the 25th World Book Day, which seeks to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading the Scottish Government's supports activity of the Scottish Book Trust, but today promoting a range of activity to encourage the love of reading. Literacy is foundational to every child's education and reading is a fundamental skill for life, as well as a source of lifelong pleasure to help young people to develop these skills. The Scottish Book Trust delivers the First Minister's reading challenge, the reading schools programme and read-write count. Each initiative aims to positively impact on pupils' attainment by building and embedding reading cultures in schools at home and in the community to support and nurture the love of reading for pleasure. I thank the minister for that answer. To celebrate World Book Day, many of the schools and nurseries across my constituency of Edinburgh Pentlands are encouraging our pupils to dress up as their favourite book character. I know many young people will be excited to take part on World Book Year this year, given the impact of the pandemic on previous year's celebrations. Will the minister commit to continue to support the Book Book programme, which is proven to provide a range of positive benefits for children and families across the country? Let me first of all recognise the excitement that many children are taking part today, not just in Mr McDonnell's constituency, but across all the country, including my own.  Initiatives such as Bookbug help encourage an early love of books among children, while also providing great opportunities for parents and their young ones to spend time together playing, having fun and learning. In this financial year, we provided £1.66 million of funding to the Scottish Book Trust's early years programme. It provides a range of three bookpacks for every child in Scotland from birth to primary one to support the day this year. The Scottish Book Trust is a working partnership with World Book Day to distribute vouchers to 2,800 early years settings in Scotland alongside their explorer resource kits to distribute World Book Day digital vouchers to families who receive extra support through Bookbug for the Home. They will also send copies of World Book Day books to a further 3,000 families via Bookbug for the Home after today. Discussions with the Scottish Book Trust's grant fund's early years programme in Bookbug in 2022-23 are currently under way. To ask the Scottish Government how many households are waiting for social housing in Central Scotland. The latest data suggests that an estimated 80,000 households across the 16 local authorities in Central Scotland in 2019 were on a housing list or had applied for social housing in the previous 12 months. However, we know that this figure will include households who are already living in a social home as well as households looking to access the social sector. Ensuring that everyone has a warm, affordable home that meets their needs is a priority for the Government. That is why we are committed to delivering 110,000 new affordable homes by 2032. Mark Griffin. Thank you, cabinet secretary. For that answer, I just ask the cabinet secretary if she is aware of the changes to the system of our long-term empty or second homes in Wales. To ask if the Scottish Government has considered giving local authorities in Central Scotland powers to implement a similar scheme that could reduce the number of long-term empty homes and raise additional funds to build social housing and reduce the number of families waiting for a home. Tackling empty homes is a priority for the Scottish Government. We have set out a range of actions in housing to 2040 to help to make better use of this essentially wasted resource. We continue to invest in the successful Scottish Empty Homes Partnership approach, which has brought more than 6,000 homes back into use since 2010. Of course, we will look at ideas that are brought forward in other places and are happy to look at what Wales is doing. However, we have existing measures, including, for example, the additional dwelling supplement that second home buyers pay, short-term let control areas for secondary letting and existing powers that local authorities have to vary or remove council tax discounts on second homes. We are already taking a lot of action, but we are obviously happy to look at any other ideas that Mark Griffin or anyone else might want to bring forward. Can the cabinet secretary advise the chamber how many council houses have been built in central Scotland under the Scottish National Party and how many were built from 1990 to 2007 under Labour and the Liberal Democrats? In the central Scotland constituency region, which includes Falkirk North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire local authority areas, published official statistics on local authority new-build homes, showed that there were only 30 council homes built between 1999, 2000 and 2006, 2007 compared to 1,792 council homes built between 2007-08 and 2020-21. Since 2007, the Government has delivered 105,755 affordable homes across Scotland, more than 73,000 of which were for social rent, including nearly 17,000 council homes. I would have thought that something everyone in the chamber would welcome. To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the recent Pricewaterhouse Cooper's report showing that Scotland lost on average four shops a day in 2021. We know that retail businesses have been faced incredibly difficult trading conditions in the past two years as a result of the global pandemic. That is why, since the start of the pandemic, businesses have benefited from £4.5 billion in support and, under non-domestic rates, relief have saved businesses, including retailers, around £1.6 billion. Last week, we announced an £80 million Covid economic recovery fund for local authorities and allocated a further £3 million to the city centre recovery fund to support local economies to recover. Under £10 million Scotland Loves Local programme and city centre recovery task force are supporting local communities and retail businesses in our towns and cities to rebuild our high streets. Our 10-year national strategy for economic transformation, combined with the upcoming retail strategy and town centre action plan, will strengthen the retail sector and ensure that Scotland maximises its economic potential, becoming fairer, wealthier and greener. Dean Lockhart, I thank the minister for that reply, but it does not go far enough. The PWC report also shows that the number of shops across Scotland's high street has declined in each of the last six years, well before Covid, the worst performance across the UK. The Scottish Government has said that it would publish its long-awaited retail strategy last year, but we still have not seen it. The Scottish Retail Consortium has called for a long-term coherent approach towards the sector, so minister, when will this happen? We have worked very closely with the retail sector, including the SRC in the development of the retail strategy, and that publication of that will be forthcoming relatively soon. I would wish to assure the member. We do take a coherent approach. I outlined in my original answer much of the funding that we have put in place, but our policy coheres across a range of areas, and I would encourage the member, once it is published, to look carefully at the town centre action plan, again developed in partnership with COSLA. I would also encourage the member to look closely at what we are doing with NPF4, where there is an abundance of policies there that will reflect the review of the town centre action plan, incorporate it and put in place the long-term structures that we need in planning, matching what we are doing across the range of other areas to ensure that we have a vibrant future for retail. A very final point that I would make is just to acknowledge the point that Mr Lockhart made. There are long-standing structural challenges to the retail sector. Our job is to support retail to make a just transition. Does the minister welcome the inquiry, which I understand the economy committee may be undertaking into town centre regeneration? We will be looking at gallous heels in my constituency, where energised gallous work very hard over the years with politicians across all parties to try to deal with the very thing that we will be discussing, which is the small shops of disappearing, trampled over by the large supermarkets. I absolutely welcome the inquiry that the economy committee is undertaking, and I very much look forward to seeing the evidence that the committee takes and the recommendations that come out of its final report. I would be very happy to discuss this matter further with Christine Grahame, including if she would like to invite me to her constituency to see some of the excellent local examples of retail that she has referred to. To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to reports that historic environment Scotland is considering criteria that could be used to identify sites that could be left to managed decline. It is important that Scotland's historic properties and care are kept in a safe condition, both for historic environment Scotland's staff and for public visitors. We are seeing how those properties' natural processes of decay have been accelerated by climate change and that that process is likely to continue. Historic environment Scotland are currently considering what future management approaches and strategies will be needed for care in the long term, and I will keep discussing those potential approaches with them. HES recently stated that it may need to reduce physical access to some historic sites and accept the natural process of decay in some cases. Dun Calaway Brock on Lewis has been closed since 2019, with little progress made since leaving local communities very worried about its future. Can the minister confirm if HES is considering managed decline for this site and, more broadly, will he confirm what historic sites in Scotland HES considered to be most at risk? I thank Donald Cameron for his interest in this area. I understand that Historic Environment Scotland's director of conservation has written directly to him about this and the process of reaching out to Mr Cameron's office to arrange a visit to Dun Calaway Brock with Historic Environment Scotland's experts. I can also confirm that Historic Environment Scotland carried out consolidation work on the Brock in October. Last year, I managed to get a section of the upper Brock stabilised, which is good news. Further, programme works are planned for the end of this month, and HES will undertake a review at the end of April, which will inform the next steps and reopening timetables. Safety of the public must always be the primary concern. I hope that that will assist Mr Cameron in his local issues, but I am happy to correspond further if that would be helpful. It is not just reviewing sites, but it is also ensuring that there is sufficient funding to make sure that those sites are able to remain open and be safe. If I can say as a resident of the city, just minutes away from us we have the radical road, which has been closed for a long time in Holyrood Park, and the problems of Duddingston Low Road. It is not just reviewing, it is making sure that Historic Environment Scotland has enough resource to keep our fantastic cultural heritage alive and accessible to all of us wherever we live. Sarah Boyle has given substantially increased resource to Historic Environment Scotland in 2021. That was £80 million, £21 million, £22 million, £75 million, and £22 million, £23 million over £70 million. We are investing substantially, recognising the Covid challenges that Historic Environment Scotland has had in its potential income streams. We will continue to work very closely with them on the important sites that we have across Scotland to make sure that we are protecting them as best we can from what we have already described as climate change erosion and other challenges that they face. To ask the Scottish Government how it is tackling any issues related to high numbers of second homes in some parts of Scotland. Cabinet Secretary Shona Robison We recognise concentrations of second homes that can affect community sustainability. Existing measures include the additional dwelling supplement that second home buyers pay, short-term let control areas for secondary letting, and existing powers that local authorities have to vary or remove council tax discounts on second homes. In 2017-18, that meant that council tax income generated from second homes contributed £21.2 million towards the provision of affordable homes across Scotland. Emma Roddick She will be aware that I and many in the Highlands and Islands have deep concerns about how housing availability affects depopulation. It is clear that, particularly in certain rural and island communities, second homes are contributing to the issue. Can she give an update on the SNP's manifesto commitment to give local authorities power to manage the number of second homes in their area? First of all, I recognise Emma Roddick's background of raising the issue in the chamber. It is an important issue. First of all, just to say that through the housing to 2040 strategy, we are committed to providing more tools and powers to local authorities to support the best use of existing housing stock. We are going to engage with stakeholders about proposals on what additional powers are needed during the stakeholder discussions on the remote, rural and island housing action plan and the issue of a taxation review that she mentioned. We will be recommencing work on the taxation review this year. Work is being paused, obviously, due to Covid, but it will recommence this year. Has the Scottish Government walked progress that is made with the UK Government on the devolution of drug legislation to the Scottish Parliament, particularly in relation to the misuse of drugs act 1971? The Scottish Government has and will continue to engage with the UK Government to reform and or devolve the misuse of drugs act to fully enable an evidence-based public health approach to tackle the drug death crisis. The UK Government remain unwilling to either review legislation or devolve powers to Scotland. At a recent parliamentary joint committee session on 1 February, Mr Malthouse refused to accept the recommendations of the drug death task course for legislative change. In the meantime, the Scottish Government will continue to seek solutions within the current laws and our current powers to save and improve lives by reducing harm and promoting recovery. It is going to take a national mission to end drug addiction and drug deaths in Scotland, and the Scottish Government is doing all within its devolved powers to tackle that. However, having the misuse of drugs act still reserved to Westminster, we are tackling this issue with one hand tied behind our back. Does the minister agree that this legislation should be devolved immediately so that Scotland has all the levers available to fully address this and save lives? Yes, I do very much believe that we need a route and branch review of the 50-year-old misuse of drugs act and for the powers to be devolved to this Parliament. I should also say that I do not, for a minute, demur from the challenge of doing more with our existing powers and existing resources. That investment, tackling culture, reform and services are important along with legislative powers and legislative reform. Certainly, if the misuse of drugs act was reformed or devolved to Scotland, some of the work that we are currently immersed in in and around drug checking facilities and drug consumption facilities would be far more easier. However, the crux of the problem with the misuse of drugs act is that it impedes that full public health approach to a public health emergency and, in particular, it limits that full range of evidence-led harm reduction measures. I hope that I have demonstrated to the chamber and beyond that I am fully committed to recovery, residential rehab, abstinence-based interventions, but we also need to get serious in this country about harm reduction and reach people where they are at any given time. That is in part what we need to do to reduce harm. 7. Richard Leonard To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the remediation, including removal and replacement of unsafe cladding on residential buildings in Scotland as part of its response to Grenfell. Selected 25 high-priority residential blocks of flats for an initial phase to test and develop our free single building assessment surveys are on-going, and some reports will be finalised in the coming weeks. That will allow us to understand what actions need to be taken to further support affected home owners and seek the most appropriate solutions. We will continue to urge other parties, such as developers, to continue to play their part where construction is found to be unsafe and we are continuing to discuss with the UK Government what their plans are for the establishment of their announced £4 billion fund. Richard Leonard I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer, but the Grenfell tragedy that claims 72 lives was four and a half years ago. We know that the Government has identified 25 high-rise buildings in Scotland affected, but it has not told Parliament where they are. We also know that, since last year, the Government has had £97.1 million to spend in Barnett consequentials, but has not spent a penny of it. It will receive more funding, including a share of the £4 billion that the cabinet secretary mentioned. When will the cabinet secretary move beyond assessments, inspections and so-called innovations, and for the sake of the safety and the very lives of residents, including the lives of children, who live in these at-risk buildings, just get on with it? First, I will say to Richard Leonard that the reason that the locations have not been made public is because of the requests from those living in the buildings that they do not want that information made public. I would have thought that Richard Leonard would respect the views of those who have asked for that information not to be made public. In terms of the £97.1 million, every penny of that would be spent, but he dismisses inspections and assessments. We do not know what remediation work is to be done until inspections and assessments of those buildings are done, and they are complex engineering work that requires specialist input into making sure that we know what that remediation is. Once that remediation—many of those buildings will be deemed safe once those inspections and assessments are done—for those that require remediation work, yes, that £97.1 million will of course be spent, but we also need access to the £4 billion that the UK Government has talked about, and the Welsh counterpart, Julie James, has written to the Secretary of State calling for our Governments to be part of any discussions with developers and its impact on our countries.


college, higher education, the big leagues, papers, assignments, late nights, early classes, and coffee addictions. Going to school can often be a mixed bag of enlightening, stressful, interesting, exciting, and discouraging. But even in the midst of this proverbial roller coaster. You didn't think that was in my vocabulary, did you? Well, I didn't either. Even in the midst of this proverbial roller coaster, as Christians were trying to figure out what it means to live for Jesus on campus. In this video, I'm going to share my experience at school and three ways that you can be bold for Jesus and thrive at school. But first, I want to give a huge shout out to my patrons on Patreon. You guys are fantastic, thank you for supporting this ministry and becoming gospel partners on Patreon.com slash daily underscore disciple.  To become a gospel partner, head on over to Patreon.com slash daily underscore disciple. Link in description. Anyway, on to the video. My name is Isaac and this is the Daily Disciple where I help you follow Jesus daily. Okay, so I want to begin by sharing my story at university. So that means it's story time with Isaac. Story time. Okay, so when I went to university, you know, I was a homeschool kid, so I did not go to school at all. This is my first experience really being at school, at real school. So there's different kinds of homeschoolers, you know, all homeschoolers are different. There were definitely the homeschoolers that were like this. Oh yes, I've made it to the academic institution. I've been preparing my whole life for this. This is going to be a wonderful opportunity to hone my skills that I've been festering. It was a lot less like that and more like this. What the? I get a locker? Oh my goodness. Wait a minute, I have to go to class? As I began my term at university, the stress and anxiety began to kind of take a little bit of a hold on me, having so many assignments and papers pile up all at once. That was pretty scary, you know, but it wasn't all stressful, you know, here in Winnipeg we often have a nice snowfall during the winter time, which is pretty much the whole school season and I went around with one of my friends and we built snowmen all across campus because we didn't want to study and that's how good of a person I am. But one of the great things about university is you get to meet a lot of different kinds of people with a lot of different beliefs and I think that's one of the huge things that I'm going to touch on in this video about not wasting this opportunity of getting to talk to so many different people. So as I was in the midst of all this kind of craziness of papers and assignments and tests and all this kind of thing and you have this in your mind that you're just trying to figure out how this is all supposed to work together and how you're supposed to manage and get everything done and also have a social life, there's also this piece of how do I be bold for Jesus on campus and there were a couple of things that I came across just in my, you know, experience at university that helped me and also things that as I look back I wish I would have done. So these are just some things for you, some ways to be bold for Jesus and thrive on campus. So the first way to be bold for Jesus on campus is to help people around you gain perspective and purpose. You know in my time at university I could honestly feel this as well but a lot of people around there it's often kind of a sad and depressing place. I don't know why that is, maybe it's just in this state you know everyone's kind of young and trying to figure out things and there's assignments and there's stressful things but it often could be a sad and depressing place where people are complaining and no no no no why why do I have three assignments to do all at once why god why no no no no no no no only for class again I forgot to study why god why you see we lose perspective of the full picture when our attention is only on us if we can take a step back we can actually see the greater picture that god is making we're one piece in that puzzle and when we can see that when we can see yeah we're here to glorify god we're here to image him on this earth we're here to use our gifts for his glory and whatever kind of vocation he's you know moving us to and directing us to when we can see that's that's our puzzle piece right there that gives us a sense of purpose right this is where I'm going into this is where I am you know filling this piece in God's greater picture I am a piece in God's greater picture and that really can bring excitement and joy and a new kind of vigor to our studies so the second way to be bold for Jesus on campus and survive university as a Christian is to not cower in class it's important and it's it's important to understand that look we're gonna have different perspectives than professors and other classmates it's just gonna happen we're gonna have different beliefs and as a Christian going on to campus whether it's a Christian campus or not you're gonna have different perspectives but I want to encourage you to not let the fact that maybe the professor may have different beliefs in you or other people discourage you from making your beliefs heard don't let it discourage you from answering a question honestly and verbalizing your own values and your beliefs and your convictions in God's word by being bold and and actually stating what you believe and it's a lot harder than you think if you've ever been in that situation you're actually helping other people around you other Christians that may not feel like they can verbalize and vocalize their own values beliefs because they may be seen as you know intolerant or bigoted just because it doesn't fit into the current cultural moral you know convictions that the culture has just because it doesn't fall into that but you're helping other people around you also feel confident to vocalize a lot of their own beliefs and values that they once felt too shy or or too you know ashamed of to vocalize I want to read a verse here from 2nd Corinthians 3 12 so if the old way which has been replaced was glorious how much more glorious is the new which reigns forever since the new way gives us such confidence we can be very bold because of Christ and our faith in him we can now come boldly and confidently into Christ's presence because of the gospel because Jesus came to this earth fully God and fully man died on the cross taking the penalty for our sin rose again on the third day defeating death forgiving of us of our sins and reconciling us to God the father being that mediator between us and God and establishing that new relationship with him and a new identity within us because all that is true right we can have great confidence and boldness knowing that we are fully accepted by God we're fully loved and accepted by him so we're not out here trying to get the approval of others we're not just here trying to get accepted by others so then we can just you know please them say whatever the whatever they believe we believe too just because we want to gain that acceptance and love no we already have found that in Christ so now when we're in university when we're you know facing this kind of this pressure to conform into whatever everyone else believes when a professor believes something other than what you believe you can be bold and say hey you know what I have a different perspective this is what God says this is what the Bible says this is where my convictions are at that is an awesome thing we can be bold about that so along with that I just want to bring out this point that no school subject is neutral so by that I mean you know you might think oh history it's just a bunch of facts and there's just a bunch of you know stuff you know atheists could teach history or christian and there would really be no difference that's totally unfortunately like I hate to praise you but it's totally wrong like every school subject whether you are in you know history or sociology or psychology or especially theology obviously you're going to get these different perspectives and biases impacting these school subjects so when people are just saying oh I'm just objectively teaching this no no no no school subject is neutral their worldview is always going to seep through and they're always going to be teaching it from that perspective so if they're you know a liberal christian if they're an atheist if they're a buddhist if they're a Mormon whoever it is their worldview their set of convictions is always going to seep through into whatever they're teaching you even if it's not necessarily directly related to that right I'm not just talking about theology class I'm talking about economics I'm talking about sociology psychology even statistics okay I was in a statistics class one time and it went a little something like this okay everyone um come on in uh yeah take a seat um we're gonna talk a little bit about something to just open it up you know just to keep it fresh type thing sounds good okay this is gonna be interesting okay okay okay so you know I just wanted to talk a little bit I know it's a statistics class but I wanted to talk a little bit about you know global warming we know it's a scientific fact we know that the world is gonna end in eight years what based on global warming projected all the prophecies all that kind of stuff and I also wanted to talk a little bit about why children by having children you're actually killing the planet so don't have children um yeah I had three myself I know a little bit of a hypocrite but we all make mistakes um yeah sorry Terrence sorry about that I kid you not this dude's kid was in the class and he literally said something to the effect of you know we you know kids are killing the planet and we all make mistakes as if that kid was a mistake and he shouldn't have had it because he's killing there worldview matters people your worldview what you believe about god what you believe about the world all this kind of thing it impacts every area of study so be on alert okay I have a quick announcement okay so you know this book I've been talking about it it's my new book a letter to my father what your son wants to tell you but doesn't for fathers for mothers for everybody read this book um you can get it for free now actually so um if you go to dailydisciple.ca you can click partner with us and if you partner with us become a silver or gold tier gospel partner I'm gonna send you this book full free that's right full free if I feel like I'm doing it infomercial but I'm excited about it if you become a gold or silver tier gospel partner on patreon I'm gonna send you this book for free and I know there's a bunch of people that live in you know different countries around the world whatever I'll figure out a way to get this book to you if you become a gospel partner that would be amazing and you know I hope you enjoy the book so the last point we've made it so far we're gonna survive university we're gonna survive universe let me just get my reading glasses here what's number three here look for opportunities one on one let's sure let's your words be an outflowing of your heart so I know for the other ones it wasn't specifically evangelism focus you know we talked about um being able to help other people gain perspective and purpose and just kind of a better picture of what they're they're doing at university you know we also talked about not cowering and being you know holding on to your convictions in class the last thing is more evangelism focus but also just kind of an encouragement focus um you're gonna get opportunities to talk one-on-one with people you're gonna meet new people with different beliefs from different religions you're gonna get opportunities to talk with these people and you can also be intentional about making opportunities where you're just kind of having a conversation with someone and I want to just kind of encourage you and this is something that I try to do is very scary sometimes but if you can let kind of your own you know heart in terms of your relationship with Jesus you know let this be an outflowing of your heart into conversation so I'm not saying oh go up to somebody and say hey you know the gospel of Jesus Christ because they might confuse you for a Mormon but I want to encourage you to just be natural about what you believe similar to in class not cowering to other people you know just because they believe something different than you but being okay with saying hey yeah this is who I am yeah I'm a Christian yeah do you know about Christianity you have any questions about it do you know what it's all about and for me I had a really good conversation literally just talking to someone at a Christian university and kind of asking them hey do you know what Christianity is all about and just being able to share with them the gospel being able to share with them you know my heart for them and that I was just sharing this out of love for them because if the gospel if the Bible is true and I wouldn't share with them right if I were to keep that to myself that wouldn't be loving actually that would be hateful because I know based on the fact that he doesn't know the gospel because he like everyone else has fallen short of the glory of God he's destined for hell but I love him enough to share the gospel with him and I can just share that with him that's my heart I'm not just trying to shove something down his throat and there's more planes but but I but I love him and so I shared that with him and you know I don't know if he ended up you know becoming a Christian but I do know that those opportunities at university are important and I don't know I just encourage you to take them so some scripture here from 1 Peter 3 15 but in your hearts revere Christ as Lord always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asked you to give the reason for the hope that you have but do this with gentleness and respect I think for some of us we can we can you know fall in this ditch of not wanting to talk at all and just being really timid and you know maybe conforming our convictions a little bit to seem less extreme to maybe people that aren't Christians or or are you know very secular so we try to kind of you know mold our convictions and our perspectives a little bit just to fit in a little bit more and others of us might just be a bull in the china shop just knocking over things just going crazy like yeah this is what I believe this is why I believe it and this is why you're wrong both need some adjusting both need some perspective just like this verse says we should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us but we should do it with gentleness and respect so you have those two sides of that coin the truth and love right if we don't have the truth if we're going to cower if we're going to change our if our beliefs if we're going to compromise what we believe you know based on what other people believe just to kind of fit in it's not going to be powerful it's not going to be effective and if we have that truth and yet just started that bull in a china shop mentality then we're just going to scare people off make people angry get into arguments it's not going to be beneficial to anybody but having this truth and love being ready to give an answer but also in with kindness and gentleness well guys that's today's video those are three ways that you can be bold for Jesus and thrive on campus as a Christian I know a lot of you are in university or college right now so I want to continue to make content that kind of caters to your circumstance and helps you live for Jesus and follow Jesus in university if

We seem to have lost sight of land have way Farg perhaps no no sign of fog. I thought we're going to cruise around the island Oh, well it gets too rough when you stay close to shore does it morning everybody. We're on earth. Are we I don't see land Anyplace what goes I have a feeling we're miles out to sea. Do you owner? I had the same idea owner I ordered the ship out to deeper water so so we could do a bit of hunting hunting hunting for a nice school of big fish Lot of killers out here now. We should be able to catch one of them. Good morning, doctor I'd like to ask you a question. Yes. I'm sure I know what it is and I'm sure I can answer it Why are we so far out to sea? Yes? Well Karen? It's because I want I want to talk to you come in Hal I know what you want to ask me Karen just asked me the same question So I'll answer you both at the same time. Okay. What is the answer? Well, this happens to be the season for catching the big ones the killers we call them So I decided to put out a way in order to get a crack at one of them killers Yes, apparently you're not a fisherman Hal, but I'm sure you'll find it interesting. Hey look doc What's on your mind? I've been suspicious of you ever since you invited me on this weekend cruise have you mr. Norton why why should you ask me on this cruise? I don't know you that well senior many times your brother introduced us at the gambling joint But well, I wouldn't think too much about it Hal I must say this is a peculiar group for you to select doctor think so professor you all knew each other didn't you well Yes, no way. I know the professor, but I've never been friendly with Hal Norton or owner Raymond I know Hal Norton's a gambler and owner's a nightclub singer. I've known owner for several years I know miss Karen Somerset's a social dead and the professor's John Mallory have seen him at various times Then if you all know that much about each other I should think this is an opportunity to really get acquainted who said we wanted to doctor Please turn around and go back please. No, I can't why not I'll tell you You all know that three months ago my brother Gerald was murdered the murderer was never found You four people were the ones selected selected for what I've sifted the whole thing down to you for The ones with the most likely motives for wanting to kill him.  Oh, yes, let us forget the situation for the moment and enjoy our breakfast come Well, dr. Durand Now you have set up the situation in which each one of the four suspects the others and each one knows that if he is to Return alive the guilty party must be discovered as soon as possible Because the doctor is serious Now for some strange reason the gambler Hal Norton seeks out Karen Somerset the society girl Mr. Norton, what's on your mind? I want to talk to you. What do you want? Look a doc serious? He's got us out here. He means what he says about blowing all of us up now Let's straighten this thing out. There's no use all of us being killed.  I knew about him and owner, but I didn't kill him now It's a good motive a strong motive. I'll admit. I was madly in love with Gerald when I learned he was smitten with owner I was wild, but I didn't kill him If I'd killed anybody it would have been owner. Yeah, I can imagine what about you?  I Know how you gangsters think what do you mean gangsters?  Norton. Good night So that is the situation between Karen Somerset the society girl and Hal Norton the gambler Now let us see what professor John Mallory and the nightclub singer owner Raymond have to say about it. Oh Hello professor, what do you want? I'd like to talk to you miss Raymond. Don't be so formal. My name is owner Of course You're aware that the situation existing aboard this yard is most serious. Maybe dr. Durant means exactly what he says I think he's temporarily unbalanced. He's convinced that one of us killed his brother And what do you think should be done? I think the guilty one should confess and say the lives of the ones who were innocent I agree. So why don't you confess professor?   What are you talking about? That's a good imagination.  That's sure silly.  She leaves her cabin and finally after wondering about the deck. She makes her way to the doctor's quarters Doctor I've been well. I've been making investigations and I've learned something what have you learned owner I know now who killed your brother and I can prove it You seem to be very frightened owner, but I know the one who did it and who is it I? Well, I'd rather not tell just now why not if you put the ship about and return to port. I'll tell you why not now No, I'm well. I'm afraid afraid afraid of what the guilty one knows that I know I see Well, I suppose I fix it so that no harm can come to you if you tell who it is what then Can you guarantee that doctor I can you tell me and nothing will happen to you I'll see to that. Who is the guilty one? Well, it's it's Who's there who's out here? Now that leaves just three Come in Karen come in how what's that on the floor? What's happened remove the sheet captain? Let them see what's happened very well Good boy. Oh, it's It's owner Raymond When did this happen just 15 minutes ago? Surely one of you knows all about it. Where did it happen? She was standing right there She was just about to disclose some information regarding the killer of my brother when there was a shot from that window I ran to the door, but there was no one in sight. Where were you Karen 15 minutes ago? Well, I was in my cabin and where were you professor Mallory? I was on the deck on the deck And now me I ask where were you are you crazy?  I was in love with that may be true, but maybe she was about to tell the doctor something you didn't want to know You're nuts. Just where were you 15 minutes ago? How high I was in my cabin in your cabin And you didn't hear the shot. I did not you say you were in love with owner But did you love her enough to let her reveal the murderer of my brother? Especially if you were the murderer, you'd better be sure before you start accusing me brother I merely asked a hypothetical question. Well, why don't you try some hypothetical questions on Karen and the professor here? They had just as good reasons to get rid of your brother and owner.  Maybe you figured she was the one who killed your brother and you let her have it and figure you can blame it on one of us Dr. Durant, this is getting out of hand.  Are you well if you interfere in my plan I can very easily take care of that I'll not put about until I'm satisfied that I know who the killer is but that's ridiculous a murder has been committed I'll stay out here in the ocean till I learn the identity of the killer even at the expense of the life of every one on board We have enough enough fuel to keep running for more than a month And if the engines are turned off why we can drift for many months What about food fresh water if it's necessary to stay out that long then when hunger and thirst come along Maybe one of you will be ready to talk. Why are you're crazier than I thought oh Captain have this body removed and placed in ice. I want to take back all the evidence Well, I think you may all return to your quarters. Good night. Yes Good night, doctor. I'll go along with you Karen. I'd like professor. I'd prefer that you didn't Didn't what that you didn't talk to miss Somerset. Go to your own cabins if you please Well, good night Well, what are you waiting for hell? Look doc, are you really serious about this business of staying out here until? Well, can we run out of water and food if necessary? Well look Suppose I tip you off to something tip me off. I'd rather have something definite mr. Norton. Yeah, well, I Discovered something.  No, it sounds logical go on. Oh if I'd killed Gerald because of owner It doesn't make sense that I'd kill the girl I loved go on. I follow you the one who killed owner certainly didn't care about her Therefore it must have been one of the other two either Karen or the professor. Yes Well, I discovered something who is it? You are what happened owner when she tried to tell you something I'd rather not say just now And when would you like to tell what you know?  You're stalling for time. I'm not I know who shot owner I'll tell you what how I'll wait another week And if nothing happens if the guilty one isn't found then I'll turn around and accept your proposition But you'd better know what you're talking about. Don't worry. I know I know plenty Good night. Good night Hal Norton steps out of the doctor's cabin Completely unaware of the figure in the shadows by the open window and goes to his cabin Confident that he now has complete control of the situation a Few moments later the captain in his cabin is manipulating the radio phone attempting to make contact with the mainland Hello, hello Hello Hello, this is the yacht mongoose calling The mongoose calling Hello. Hello mongoose to mainland Yacht mongoose calling globe radio Come in Emergency skip ref. Yacht mongoose calling globe radio Yacht mongoose emergency Yacht mongoose position 10 degrees north 170 degrees west. I can't understand why I can't What do you want? What are you doing here? Get out of here? Keep away from me or Now with two murder victims aboard the ill-fated yacht in its strange cargo pushes on south and west Oh and a Raymond dead and now the captain and the radio phone damaged beyond repair The captain's body is not discovered till sunup But immediately following the discovery the doctor calls his guests to his cabin What's happened now, dr? Why are others out at this early hour? Why don't be so excited professor. I'm not excited Sit down professor Have a cigarette doctor. Yes. Thank you like I Think dr. Durant that you had best sit down and take things easy What do you mean the way your fingers and hands are trembling something's upset you considerably is that so yes Well, what's happened now someone try to kill you during the night I'll wait until miss Somerset gets here if you don't mind and how not and Have you decided to go back doctor? No, no, I'm not going back and if that I'm determined Do you know what I think I think you're somewhat unbalanced. What is it doctor? What's going on now?  Oh, I shouldn't I be to be waked out of a sleep and well go on miss Somerset Well, this isn't the most pleasant voyage. I've ever been on. What is upset you Karen? What? Nothing Nothing, but the whole idea back of this trip. Don't worry Karen I just asked the doctor the same question some strange reason He didn't want to say what made him upset. I prefer to say no more about this until Hal Norton gets here Hal Norton and the captain. I want the captain to be present. He said he'd be right in All right. All right, doctor We'll just wait till they get him and you Karen you don't mind waiting for the captain What were you going to say? Oh Nothing I'm going to have the captain radio phone the mainland radio phone What that the murderer of my brother as a board that I know who it is you should radio that you have a lunatic aboard you yourself One of you knows that the radio One of us knows what? What about the radio? I'll wait till Hal Norton gets here before I continue. Oh, what's keeping him? Doctor, I just went at them at the Norton and he's dead. Dead. Yeah, dead as a doornail.  He's an icicle. I see Will you tell the captain to come to my cabinet once? The captain Well, I don't think he can I mean you heard what I said Johnson. Yes, sir Yes, sir Well, what's the matter with that sailor? I haven't the slightest idea. He seems startled. Did he doctor? You're lying What's happened to the captain? He's dead Doctor, yes Someone killed him and smashed the radio phone the same one who later killed Hal Norton. Why were you stalling? I wanted to watch your reactions when I said the captain would be here in a few moments Trying to frighten us unfortunately neither of you reacted in the way.   Wait a minute John. I Hate to see this, but you did have a motive for killing his brother You're in love with me and I told you definitely that I could never marry anyone, but Gerald Durant I know I know you could have killed Gerald and then When you came aboard this yacht and learn the situation Karen, what are you trying to say? Oh, no Raymond could have learned something about your having killed Gerald And when she was about to tell the doctor you could have killed her and maybe Hal Maybe he knew in some way who killed owner and you learned that so you killed him That's very logical But on the other hand take yourself Karen. This is purely hypothetical understand You learned that Gerald the doctor's brother was madly in love with owner Raymond the chorus girl So you killed him then when owner started to tell the doctor who it was you killed her Yes, that's logical too, but wait now Hal Norton discovered who had killed owner and when he decided to tell the doctor who did that Well, you could have killed Hal all very well, but how said he knew who killed owner But he wouldn't divulge the name until this yacht had reached its home port Probably because he was afraid of the same thing that happened to owner when she started to tell what she knew But it's now reduced down to two suspects you professor and Karen That's right So I'll leave it as it is for the two of you to figure out and will not return until the score is settled It might have been owner who killed her brother, but it might even have been Hal Norton And another thing do you know whom I consider another suspect whom you doctor you could have killed your brother Why should I go to all this trouble if I had killed him to place the blame on someone else why you're mad start craving man I think you're the one who's mad.  Get out Come on Karen. Let's go and it's my opinion that we'd better not close our eyes tonight not once A few hours later the professor steps up to the doctor's cabin door tries the knob works a key in the lock and steps inside Who's there put up your hands doctor and stay where you are What do you want professor pick up that phone and order this ship to head for the nearest island? I'll do no such thing as I say or I'll kill you all right, but you won't get away with this Set a course for the nearest island at once In order all hands to bandage ship within one hour what because I have a time bomb set in a certain place and the ship will blow up in An hour come on tell them all hands abandon ship within one hour What happens tell him not to stop the engine don't stop the engines I understand that you yourself have hidden the bomb and the ship will blow up in an hour Come on. I've planted a time bomb in the oven. It'll blow up in an hour Yes, I'll give the orders at once Doctor what doctor what happened hang up abandon ship Now dr. Durant you might as well sit down in that bed and relax relax. How can I relax like this? That will keep you quiet dr. Abandon ship abandon ship the doctor's gone crazy. He just found me What does he mean? He's lost his mind says he planted a time bomb to blow us up. Oh, why should he do that? He's insane. Let me go up sooner than an hour Abandon ship John what's wrong? What's happened get back to your cabin get back and stay there hurry. What do they mean abandon ship? Get back to your cabin. I'll be there in a minute The hands abandon ship and when they are well away from the art the professor rushes below deck It opens the seacocks and as the water rushes in he hurries to Karen's cabin Karen Karen come on. No, not until you tell me what's happened. There isn't time for that I'll explain later hurry up on deck the ship's thinking what come on. We haven't a moment to lose John it is it is thinking what's happened the doctor went crazy He tried to sink the ship with a bomb and kill us both. Come on. There's a raft. We'll get off before it blows up Professor make themselves fast for the raft and a few minutes later The yacht throws its bow in the air and shudders for a moment then Two weeks pass and Karen and the professor much to their sorrow have found they selected a raft short on provisions Little water or food Now the tropic Sun is slowly devouring them John John Yes, Karen. Are you sure there's land around here? I Thought there was all right What John? I wouldn't have done it. Why don't you tell me the truth John? What happened? Well, I I did it. I sank the ship you Why the doctor was insane. I knew that It was the only way to save ourselves. I Made him out of the hands to abandon ship Then I opened the seacocks Had blew up the boilers and what became of the doctor. Well, you went down to the ship Leave me Karen. It was the best way best way Here we are a food gun the water exhausted. I was positive. There was an island near here We must be caught in a curtain. I've been drifting in the opposite direction. I can't stand this thing driving me crazy I Don't tell him I love you Karen. I know but what does it matter now? I've got to tell you something got to I Know now that we haven't a chance For a while I was certain of our position Well I want to tell you this I Did kill owner John I killed her and I killed hell not me Because I knew you were the guilty one. I knew you were the one who killed the doctor's brother But you were justified in killing him Karen. I knew on I had discovered the truth.   So I blew up the ship and that took care of him. Oh No one will ever know But you're wrong China. I didn't kill Joe do it But Karen who else could have I don't know but I didn't What does it matter now Karen? The ship has gone down with all the evidence owner hell the doctor The crew has ever picked up Everything will be blamed on doctors and sent Whether I'm guilty or not What does it matter now?  I Know what's going to happen this Thursday It'll get worse and we're going to have our heads in touch with water.  It's bad enough now But you know, I wouldn't have the nerve. I just couldn't have a coward. You'll not suffer You'll never know what happened. No, no, I can't I'm afraid Karen look What is that over there? I don't see anything Just a bit of fog. You sure? Are you sure?  Yes it It won't be long now There are shocks all about it Yes Karen If we were to jump in it might be a prolonged death Horribly painful All right John Whatever you say Then turn around and Karen No, no I'll do it myself but I want to be sure Very well I'll go first I've been sure that it's painless Yes All right John Professor John Mallory had killed himself But an hour later the ship John thought he saw Pulled alongside the raft in response to Karen's frantic signals And on the raft were a woman and a dead man A suicide Yes it was the ship John thought he saw The ship Karen said she didn't see But she saw it She knew it was there But she lied so that John would die first Very clever Karen You are now safe aboard the ship And no one knows but you and I That you were the one who killed the doctor's brother And the captain of the yacht And now all those who might threaten your freedom are out of the way Not one remains Most ingenious Karen CBS has presented The Whistler Original music for this production was composed and conducted by Wilbur Hatch The Whistler is written and directed by J. Donald Wilson And originates from Columbia Square in Hollywood Next week, same time I, The Whistler, will return to tell you another unusual tale Good night Here is a bulletin from the CBS News Bureau Allied Headquarters North Africa General Dwight D. Eisenhower has just officially announced That the Allies are invading Sicily The communique reads Anglo-American Canadian forces Under command of General Eisenhower Began landing operations in Sicily Landings were preceded by an air attack Naval forces escorted the assault forces And bombarded the coast defenses during the assault Stay tuned to CBS for late developments This is the Columbia Broadcasting System


tuff, I hope. Is Kyle Tucker not much of a runner? It didn't seem like, I thought a third runner would certainly score. It looked like he was lollygagging a little bit. Maybe he's not as fleet of foot as I thought he was. And Will Smith flies out. Maxi Otto, Keegan Murray, nice. Cracked ice out, that's pretty good. Some Devin Booker gold, nice. What is going on with the, my Lakers lost to the Knicks. I was not looking forward to that, but how are we doing on the standings here? Yeah, I mean, the space between six and 12 is a difference of two games. It's crazy. That's gonna come right down to the last game of the season, I feel like. You know, if the Lakers can stay above 500, and then if they get LeBron back, they can still might be nine or 10 games left. They still have to reevaluate him, so we'll see what happens there. Yeah, there's the Thunder right there, and that's beat the Nuggets. That doesn't help the Lakers. Cavs beat the Norris, Sixers, Mizzards. Yeah, Thunder taking care of business against the Lolli Spurs. Pelicans won too, that doesn't help the Lakers. And then the Lakers played the Pelicans next. Pelicans have kind of had the Lakers number of the season, even at full-ish strength, but the Lakers need to beat those Pels. Ooh, pulled the 2021 Evan Mobley National Traders 2 RPA today. Nice. That Cavs team at some point, I mean, they're doing pretty good, right? Yeah, they're fourth, I like that. It's sad, if you look at that, that's a pretty good-looking team there. Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Acoro, Evan Mobley and Jared Allen. I mean, that Mitchell trade was great. That kind of balances out the team real nicely from the guards, and Garland has already been playing well. And you got a couple nice big men right there.  I like those players right there too. You know? So they got a decent bench there too. He's got Danny Green there too. Danny Green can pop in and play a handful of minutes, get you some key three-pointers. Need a quick three or two? There's Danny Green. That's gonna help with the playoffs. Cavs are a team that, you know, that'd be good for the hobby, right? If we see Evan Mobley, yeah, get some more offensive touches, get some action in the playoffs, maybe have a signature game in the playoffs or something like that. I would love to see that. I mean, as a Lakers fan, I'd hate to see it, but the Celtics, Jason Tatum, finally knocks out a win in the finals. You know, that'd be good for the hobby. Yeah, I guess Joe LNB, Sixers winning the championship, that'd be good for the hobby, right? Darius Garland, that'd be good for the hobby. Donovan Mitchell, if they go deep into the playoffs, that's good for the hobby. You know, Nets at five, there's five and five in their last 10 games, they're still hanging tough after those big trades. Cam Thomas go off in the playoffs, that'd be cool, right? With the Pacers sneaking the playoffs, that Mathurian kid, probably will win Rookie of the Year. We'd love to see that, all right? Look at the Kings. Kings are playing great, that's good for the hobby. You wanna see Anthony Edwards in on the action. You know, you wanna see Luca in the playoffs. Ben Simmons, they used to be good, I feel like. Remember, Ben Simmons was, Ben Simmons was, what's it gonna call it? Exclusive to upper deck, I wanna, his autographs are exclusive to upper deck, so back in 2016, when he was a rookie, his, you know, him being a number one overall pick and everything, his rookie just base cards would go for an insane amount. Someone remind me what his, like, NT base card to 99 was going for back in the day. I wanna say, it sounds crazy now, but I think they were selling for like $10,000. I'm not kidding. That's how wild the Ben Simmons market was. Yeah, that is crazy, yeah, one loss. That's how, that's how tight it is. Between six and 12 place, it's like two games separate those teams, so it's gonna be a fight to the finish. It might come down to the last couple of games. I remember like Prism basketball in 2016, base Ben Simmons rookie cards, like $100 a pop, you know, Prism silvers, maybe 200 bucks raw. Yeah, right. Well, the pitching isn't very good for the US team. I think that's kind of the, like the hitters are definitely bonafide, but I don't know, when Nick Martinez is getting starts in like game two, I don't think, I think the pitching staff isn't super impressive. Although I like Lance Lynn. Wainwright had a nice start. You would think that Mikolas or Lance Lynn would have made the second start for the US second game, but I don't know. I like to question Mark DeRosa's managed your decisions in the post game, post game presser. Yeah, what a season the Sacramento, are you talking about Sacramento Kings or the LA Kings? I think the LA Kings are first in the Pacific though. Or second in the, are the Sacramento Kings first in the Pacific? Yeah, second in the West, that first in the, because Nuggets aren't in the, I'll be honest with you, I don't even know the divisions in basketball. I just know about conference nowadays. I feel like, I feel like, I'm not sure if I like this or not. I'm sure by the time it happens, I won't care, but I think baseball kind of trending towards making the schedule more like basketball, where it's more conference based, as opposed to division based, which actually kind of would be like going back to the old days. So maybe it'll be okay when it was just like NL, there was just NL East and NL West. But yeah, Kings are, I mean, you think the Nuggets are winning the whole thing unless LeBron goes back in time? I don't think LeBron's going back in time. But yeah, De'Aaron Fox, Davion Mitchell, Kevin Hooter, I like that. He was such a great addition to the Lakers last year. Harrison Barnes, Kessler Edwards, Delvedova is great, Keegan Murray, Trey Lyles, Sabonis on this team. Is this the rare, is this the rare instance where this trade has worked out for both teams? Right, for the Pacers and for the Sacramento Kings? Yeah, I mean, how long is this like Yolkic at MVP level? How long is that going to last? He might win a third one this year, but I mean, even when he's not MVP level, he's still going to be what? Top five, top 10 player in basketball. One of the inevitable fade happens. But I feel like this window is like now. Right, you got to have like, you know, you got to have Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. healthy. You got to have Aaron Gordon, you know, take it to another level. You got to help out Yolkic. You know, they got Thomas Bryant. I love him. He might not be a good defender, Thomas Bryant, but it's not like they're going to stop scoring points once Yolkic is off the floor. If Thomas Bryant can get some buckets here and there, while Yolkic takes a few minutes rest, that'd be awesome. Zeke Najee's out now, but he's like a spark plug off the bench. They got to get it done now. Playoff time at the end of the month, right? Basically, it's going to happen. Yeah, Yolkic reminds you of dirt. Very quiet team's always good. Just need to get that one really good playoff run to get it done. I agree. This year might be the year. You know, this might be one of those things where Denver is pretty underrated. Let's look at NBA championship odds. I don't know how current these are, but I mean, if you're a betting man or woman, Nuggets at seven to one, BetMGM has them at seven to one. That's actually a pretty good value to me. I don't do futures odds. I'm terrible at those, so don't listen to my advice on that. But I feel like that's a decent value play there. I'm not sure if there's any longer odds. I guess maybe the Sixers at 16 to one on FanDuel. That might be an interesting, put some coffee money on that and see what happens. Maybe get 16 coffees back. Man, if you're a Kings fan, though, it'll be hard not to put 20 bucks on the Kings at 80 to one. Man, there it is. So Team Mexico beating the United States. Thankfully, it's not like an elimination game or anything like that, but still. What's going on here? DeLars Australia gonna win their second game. DeLars got your money on the bucks. Yeah, I mean, that's why they're the favorites. Plus three 25, that's not that fun, right? Three to one, basically, that's not that fun. Yeah, I mean, that James Harden window is closing. He's not getting any younger. This might be the year where the Sixers really just have to turn it on. I mean, with Tyrese Maxey, James Harden in the backcourt to buy his Harris, PJ Tucker, Joel and Bede just controlling the game. I like the bench.  You got energy guys like Tres right here. Man, you got high flyers like Mack MacLung, another energy guy. Is he playing? He's getting in 12 minutes a night. Get a little energy out there. Show you a dunk or two. Fire up the crowd. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's funny how like some players are perceived differently than other players, right? LeBron James for whatever reason gets a lot of hate, but you know, Luka Dončić, he's always complaining, kind of has that rep, but Joel and Bede kind of does the same thing, but no one's really on him yet. He's very likable, I guess, Joel and Bede. Big personality, you know, it's pretty fun, but I think at some point, maybe this year, maybe this is the year James, maybe after this year, if they don't go deep into the playoffs or if they don't win the finals or something like that, you know, maybe at some point, maybe at some point this summer, they'll be like, hey, Joel and Bede, now it's the time, we got to, now's the time to step up. No more excuses. Let's see a deep run. Speaking of getting things done, where are we at on our late night rally? I think we're falling short. Sean Robinson got the last order about 24 minutes ago, 25 minutes ago. Anyone up for trying to make a run at it? I know Card Shark earlier, Jake was getting, put in a lot of work, actually. We've got a lot of spots and a lot of different breaks. So we've got 10 full spots and six spots left in the filler, right? You can do that. Bowman Draft is halfway there and Mosaic Choice Basketball over halfway there. 12 teams left, not a lot of super expensive teams left and a chance to win some break credit too. All three options available, boys and girls. All three I'm down to do tonight. We'll give it another, oh, we're already at five minutes from the top of the hour. I'll give it another like 10 minutes or so. I'll start packing things up around the store, kind of doing my end of night stuff now while I'm still streaming. And then if you make a late night push, we can do it, or at least, should we at least fill that and give away some spots? And then I can take those 10 spots back out of a Mac and create the real last filler. Maybe we can do at least this. Six left on that. And so that way you can go to bed knowing if you're gonna win an Immaculate First Off the Line spot or not. Thanks, everybody. I'm Shari, mad and cute, he was a very smart baby. And then there's Maude. Here are all these amazing women in mystery and then Yama, but like brilliant women in this game. And here's the thing, yeah, I'm like, I'm so excited to actually grab them and see you. They think they're done, but I'll be back in a minute. Back or not, I'm gonna go down and keep up. I'm gonna sleep, I'm gonna go to our team next week. I'll see you guys later. I'll be right over. Oh, you know, we have another three and a quarter on the news, kind of launched in a month. Okay, so I'm gonna take you out of your night and see if you're gonna win a spot or not. I hope you're gonna win a spot or not. I guess I know what I'm talking about. Alright, so you got your answer. You got an answer. You got an answer. Alright, now you've got to get out of the risk for... Maybe you can rotate or pump or you can twist maybe draw them through.  I'm so glad.  I'm just gonna try to figure it out. Right. This is, we're not paying this much money to live in California for rain, ladies and gentlemen. I think we got rain on Tuesday, showered tonight. People are getting flooded out of their homes. I said, we need a little more consistency with this rain. That way balance some stuff out.  Yeah, that's true Rex, but then I'm not, we don't pay the sunshine tax here for this nonsense, not in March. So ULINE, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if people who buy supplies here, you know, ULINE, if you buy X amount of dollars of supplies, they'll give you a list of prizes or prizes, they'll give you a list of free gifts. And so, since I'm starting my golf career, I got some titleist golf balls, which I thought was a nice titleist true feel. How much do those cost? I'll take it, that saved me, what, 30 bucks? $25, $30? And with the ULINE logo on it, I'll be like, yep, that's my ball in the rough. The one with ULINE on it, I could use that as like a putting guide as well, little putting line. I'll take it. Wait, I can get, how much is a personalized? This is text, but what if I want a logo? Logo's only $5 extra? Oh, these are licensed logo, if I want to upload my own custom logo. I think as a beginner golfer, I think the soft, I'm not hitting Pro V1s or anything like that, but, hmm. Can I upload a JASPY logo on this? Play with a JASPY golf ball? If we ever do a golf tournament, maybe we'll put that into consideration. All right, oh, Jake, thank you. I mean, with my latest golf craze, Nick and I went to an indoor, it was raining on, it was raining on, what should we call it, Friday, so we went to an indoor screen golf place in Koreatown, and it was pretty cool.  I just started golfing at, I just started swinging sticks for the first time last fall, like September-ish. All right, so Jake, by the way, thank you, sir. Just filled up this thing here, this thing, this break. Big time, what is your handicap? Are you good? I'm not, I'm just starting, but I think I'm kind of learning the right way. One of my buddies who golfs a lot. Oh, that's right, I think you mentioned that the other week. That's right, you're really good, right? Aren't you, didn't you say you're like a, oh, I thought you were as close to scratch, eight and a half, so pretty good though. I'm probably like 35, I haven't even, I haven't even hit at a real golf course yet. I've just been doing, just working on my swing on the range.  I feel as a beginner, some titles, Trufields are probably right up my alley, a little softer golf ball. I don't need to play with Pro-V ones. One of my buddies, actually my colleague, Nick Jaspie, who runs this joint, his brother and I are really close, that's how I know this whole family. He, I think he's about a 13, 13, 14 handicap. So he's in like a little golfing group and he goes on tournaments every once in a while. But yeah, I think, and his brother, Nick, who I went golf, or screen golfing with, is we're really trying to get into it. And a couple of the other staff, we got, what, I think Evan Golfs, I think Chris Golfs and Michael Jaspie Golfs, the eBay Michael Golfs. Teddy Mini Golf, Teddy Mini Golfs. So yeah, maybe, yeah, Jaspie's top golf night. The team has gone to top golf a few times. So we should probably organize a group night there. That'd be kind of fun. All right, here's what I'm gonna do also, since we're gonna, this is our last thing of the night. I'm gonna take those 10 spots back out. It's kind of hoping that would work, but we'll get them tomorrow, Jake. But let's take those 10 spots back out and create a last filler. And hopefully by the time I come back tomorrow, three o'clock Pacific, six o'clock Eastern, that thing will be pretty much done, as my hope. But yeah, a little Jaspie top golf night would be nice. She said, do you watch the golf too, Jake? How about that Scotty Shuffler? Guy's a machine. Oh yeah. Me, Nick and his brother, we went on, what did you go? We went on a, we went on a, we went on Saturday. All right, so there's the last filler. I'm sure we'll get that done tomorrow. Oh man, we might've walked right past each other and not even know it. Yeah, well, yeah, we got some golf fans here, so I'm sure we'll, if a future tournament or anything like that happens, I'm sure you'll hear about it. All right, thanks Jake for getting this done and everybody, let's get this going. Last break of the night. Hi everyone, Joe for jaspiescasebreaks.com with a quick little break for the end of the night, 2021 Panini Chronicles football fat pack break number 30.  Big thanks to this group right here for making it happen, appreciate it. All 32 teams are in, let's roll it and randomize names and teams four to five nine times. We'll use a different dice roll to give away those first off the line spots. And we just have to do one more filler and then we're breaks long and I'm sure that'll happen at some point tomorrow. But for the break four and a five nine times, one, two, three, four, five. And ninth and final time. Jake, where are you golfing in Scottsdale this weekend? Sounds like a nice trip. Four and a five nine times with the teams. It's one of another reason why I'm trying to get into the golf is, you know, a lot of my friends are starting to have kids now and free time is few and far between for those guys. So it'd be good excuses to kind of build out like guys trips or whatever. I guess we've got some of the girls play golf too, so in our group, get all the gang together and have an excuse to do like trips. All right, no trade windows and filler packs. We've got nine and nine on the randomizer each. There's the first half right there. There's the second half right over here. Oh, wow. A lot of rounds are nice. All right, there's the second half of this right there. That's fun, sounds fun. You'll have to keep us posted next week on your back on how you did. Yeah, we got a couple regulars here that locals-wise, like yourself that are into the golf as well. We could probably get a tournament together, I think. In fact, a long-time regular of the shop actually gifted me the clubs, the irons that I have now. I bought my putter and wedge, but he hooked me up with some irons, which was awesome. It was like a second set of clubs he wasn't really using. I think some old, if you remember the old Taylor Made R11s, which I think were at the time pretty solid clubs. And I think after some time, they're still solid clubs. Yeah, Diego, Mexico really took care of business. US pitching staff is like something to be desired. All right, got a couple of quarterbacks here. There's Mack Jones, Patriots, I'm gonna go to Dan. Oh, Barcelona's expanding to a sports bar, the sports bar world. There's Trevor Lawrence. That's gonna be for Graham and the Jaguars. Nothing too crazy there. This is just a retail pack, so you can't expect too much. But who's gonna win those first off the line spot? Let's gather all the names here, one through 32, new dice, new list. And it's gonna be the top 10 after four. Top 10, we're in four-down territory here. Top 10 after four, we'll get into 2021. The Mack 2021, keep that in mind. The Mack good football, first off the line edition. Good luck, one, two, three, and four. He was just, he checked in earlier Rex. He actually got a spot in a break too. All right, so there's four times, three and a one. So from 11 on down, sorry, James, sad times, one through 32. But there is one more filler we gotta do if you wanna give it another shot, please do so. But ultimately, sad times. Top 10, happy times. You're in the break, Jake is in. So is Simon, Nicholas, Nicholas, Raphael, Jake, Dan, Ken, Simon, and Jake again. So congrats to the top 10, we'll see you tomorrow for one more filler and then the break itself, Jasperyscasebreaks.com. Thanks everyone, bye-bye. We'll put chronic 30 next to your name so you know you won those spots. Jake, you actually got last spot mojo officially now, now that we added a new filler. I got all those names there. Let's upload that video. All right, that's it for us, ladies and gentlemen. I'm glad we got this, at least this filler pack under our belts in the books before we called it a night because that way we can post the last filler. Believe it or not, East Coaster start waking up three AM LA time, right, six AM East Coast time. They'll start waking up, they'll start buying spots and then the West Coast will be waking up a few hours after that. They'll start buying spots and then the late risers, the nighttime workers will wake up and start buying spots. And then next thing you know, Joe Jasperys is signing on at around three o'clock Pacific, six o'clock Eastern and going through a bunch of orders and hopefully getting into Brakesville. And we've got more of these too so as soon as that sells out, we can continue posting more.  But in the meantime, pre-order, prism football, that drops on Wednesday. That's gonna be a big new release day. That's gonna be a lot of fun. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Rex, Diego, Karchak, Jake, Delara. Yeah, maybe we'll get some golf merch, right?  James and anyone else who's still lurking and listening in the background, thanks for hanging out with us, appreciate it. Thanks for getting all, we actually had a pretty quieted down a little bit in the last couple of hours, but we definitely had a really nice day, Brakes-wise. So let's keep that momentum going tomorrow and throughout the week. Have a great night, everybody. I'll see you tomorrow. Three o'clock.
