So anyway, I'm Julia Patrick, CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy, been joined today by the nonprofit nerd herself, Jared Ransom, CEO of the Raven Group, who has been so gracious in letting me take some time off. We want to make sure we thank all of our presenting sponsors who allow us to be here every day. Jared said something really interesting several weeks ago, and I've been really thinking about it. You know, these sponsors put no parameters on what we talk about. We have no editorial interference or guidance. Sometimes they'll say, hey, I met this interesting person, you ought to talk to them or whatever, but that is it. And that's really, that's incredibly remarkable in any type of broadcasting. So again, we want to thank American Nonprofit Academy, your part-time controller, be generous, Fundraising Academy at National University, Staffing Boutique, Nonprofit Thought Leader, and the Nonprofit Nerd. Again, catch us on Roku, YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon Fire TV. I guess I missed it, but apparently one of, I know Kevin, our executive producer, thought one of the best interviews you ever had was this week on Tuesday, the storytelling guest. And so this is where you can get back to our archives. And you can also queue us up on podcasts wherever you like to download your content. Okay, Nonprofit Nerd, I love this image of you because thanks. I've never been here, but this is your office, right? It is. It's my home office, my home studio. I live in a mid-century modern home, which I just adore. And if you adore it so much, why leave? So I get to serve the community across the globe from my beautiful home that I just adore. And yeah, it's so nice. And a lot happens here, a lot. Yeah, a lot happens here. It's super cool.  One of the marvelous things is that we don't always agree. We don't always have to agree, but we get really different perspectives from both of our diverse careers in the sector. And so this is going to be a really cool conversation. Again, we're talking today about one of the most frightening topics, and that is succession planning. I feel like, Kevin, our executive producer is definitely going to take that screenshot as like our thumbnail, you know? So yeah, so every now and then, as our viewers and listeners know, we turn the tables on each other. So I decided to put myself up for the opportunity to talk about succession planning, because this is one thing I'm seeing in our community as a challenge. And it's an obstacle that undoubtedly we will all face, right? So I figured, okay, it's time to talk about it. One of the service lines that I provide is interim executive work. And with that executive, interim executive lens, Julia, I see often about the lack of succession planning. And when I talk of succession planning, I think most people think of the CEO. And that is exactly what we're going to address here. CEO, executive director, I kind of use those terms or titles interchangeably. But I also subscribe to the fact that everyone needs a succession plan in every position, staff and board alike. So I was ironically at a community event yesterday evening, I saw another amazing woman here in our community who has served on many boards and has served in the CEO role herself. And she said, I'm joining the show tomorrow because I'm serving as a board chair for an organization and we have no succession plan. And I'm like, you're not alone. And then additionally, I want to share with you that going through an executive search for a full time CEO, there were three final candidates at the table. Two of them recused themselves from the position because there was no succession plan at their current agency. And so I saw this as an opportunity to address an obstacle that we're likely all facing. And again, undoubtedly, we will all face the succession plan conversation. So I've come today with five tips, Julia, to help our audience navigate this in a professional, intellectual, prepared type of way. So yeah, if you'll pull up that number one, I say we just get started and questions. You know, again, I encourage our viewers, our live viewers at least to use the Q&A at the bottom because I want to answer your questions real time. I'm here, ask me anything as it relates to this. But succession planning is a big deal. So key step number one, again, I'm going to share five, but starting with number one is to assess the vacancies that your success plan will address, right? So we're really looking at, okay, in the CEO executive director role, when he or she leaves this position, what are the gaps, right? What are we missing? What do we need to address in this plan? What type of a leader do we need and has the organization grown? I've worked with many organizations. When we first started together, we were, let's say a $2 million organization. And over time, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, they've grown to like a $10 million organization. So the leader at the helm at the $2 million organization may not be the right leader for a $10 million organization. So you really need to assess those gaps of your leadership and not hire from deficiency, right? Hire from a place of what is it we need? Where are we going and how do we get there? So my thoughts turn to the amazing Rita Sornan, CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation. And Dave Thomas himself found her, the founder of Wendy's, found her to then start this organization. And she's been with them all this time. And she made the most interesting comments to us, Jared, about how they started with one way, exactly what you said. And then they've grown and changed in what they needed and how they really relied on different talents and skills that Mr. Thomas and even Rita could never have foreseen this, right?  Because in essence, you're saying, yeah, our current CEO or even our last CEO, our founder or whatever, wasn't up to snuff, didn't have this. How do you navigate that? Yeah, you know, I've had some interesting conversations around this and so much so that this can be a perilous conversation. Oftentimes, the executive director and or CEO is fearful to even bring up succession planning to their board, right? So that is a little risky or can feel a little risky. But the thing is what I like to focus on Julia is we're talking about the best for the organization. And we're talking about legacy, we're talking about sustainability, we're talking about continuing the mission as the community needs it. So we're really putting our best foot forward by discussing succession planning, because you're doing what's best for your community. And that should always be top priority and top of mind. Your governing board or your fiduciary agents of your organization, they should always be making mission driven decisions and succession planning, is that? I love that. I love what you just said, mission driven, you know, decisions and policies. That phrase takes the emotion out of it. Yes, I cannot tell you how many times this week and it's what only, oh, it's Thursday. Thank goodness. I was like, and it's only Tuesday, but it's Thursday. I have said so many times. So many times. Like, it's not. I like to make you laugh, Julia. None of it is personal. It's all business. These are business decisions and nonprofits are a business. And so we have to look at this from that mission centered lens and perspective. And again, that's what succession planning is. So for tip number one, truly, you know, look at your vacancy. What type of leader do you need at the helm for this role going forward as your organization is evolving? Because if we're not evolving, we're dying, truly. So that's one. So then, tip number two, navigates a line and internal vision for your succession plan. Meaning what? Because again, this almost seems to be reinforcing to everybody what you just said that this is mission focused. It's not going to be frightening. It's going to be actually positive. Is that what you're trying to communicate? Or how do we navigate our teams through that fear? Yeah, I really do think, you know, we need to look again at succession planning across the board, every position, not just the executive director. If you have a chief financial officer, if you have a director of development, if you have a director of programs, this conversation should be at the table, at the leadership conversations, constantly, right? Annually, by annually. So really aligning the vision for the succession plan. So maybe, and we're going to talk about this, but maybe we do have an internal candidate that we're grooming. We've seen that happen right here in our community, Julia, and it wasn't an overnight decision. It has been a long time coming and a long time grooming. That is what I would say would be like the best case scenario. But the reality is best case scenarios do not always happen. So we need to prepare for not, you know, not having that best case scenario. So really looking at aligning the internal communications, sharing openly with the board that we do have a succession plan, and it's not an envelope stuffed in the back of a cabinet drawer where you can find it if, by chance, this bus that we've all heard about takes out our entire organization. Don't worry, we have a plan B. That's not a succession plan. Right. I love it. Yeah. And I want to say too, and I'm very passionate, and I can feel my energy like rising and palpitating. The ultimate succession plan is a living trust and will for us as a human, right? So what is your living trust and will for your organization? And we have to humanize this to say, okay, the organization must continue beyond the founder, beyond the current CEO, beyond the current board. What is that plan? And it is not an envelope in the back of a cabinet that's been there for 10 years. I love it. I love that you said that because this kind of leads us to key step number three, and that is cultivate internal talent for future transitions. This is dicey because how do you do this without guaranteeing making somebody an heir apparent? Or as I used to say in the Sopranos, my favorite hair apparent. You know, how do you move and yet not guarantee or cultivate? What does that look like? So in today's workforce, Julia, and we've heard a lot from a lot of our amazing guests, but I'm channeling right now Sky Mercer, right? And she's a fantastic HR consultant. We talk about stay interviews, and that's really become a thing. Instead of an exit interview, you're talking to your staff regularly, and they're called stay interviews.  Where do you see yourself in the next year, three years, five years, learning from your team that exists, what their career goals are, right? There's a lot that happens and changes in people's personal lives.  That's a big life change, right? And so having these conversations cultivating your internal talent for that future transition, they may or may not be there, Julia. They may or may not be on your current roster, your current org chart, but having these conversations to see who in the organization has the ability, the interest to take this on and what might that look like, because if we can essentially groom someone from within, think about the opportunity to build and deepen those relationships with our stakeholders, right? Instead of that one person holding the torch and the torch going out when he or she leaves, the torch remains bright and that's what we want to do and we've seen that happen so beautifully here in our community recently. Yeah, recently a major, major organization that's about a hundred million dollar budget that navigated a transition beautifully and it's tough. Even as wonderful as you can have identified everybody and you don't have crisis and you know you're all good to go and you're all whole, it's still a challenge and I think it is important to understand that and to kind of honor that this process that Jared's talking about is certainly not easy, nor is it for the faint of heart. Now I'm really interested in this and I want to spend a little bit more time on this key step number four and that is outline the executive search phase and off-camera I asked you this question Jared and I'll do it publicly. Do you find that most boards and even C-suite are out of touch with what the process is and more importantly the time needed to deal with this process? I'm trying not to laugh but 100% out of touch and I would say 9 to 12 months is the realistic timeline of bringing in a full-time executive level. Again I serve as that interim executive CEO, COO, CDO in the fundraising realm and it is 9 to 12 months that is essentially what it's going to take because first of all you really want to find the person if they're not internal and again as an interim and I do wave that flag high and proud because I believe so wholeheartedly in bringing in an interim executive leader as part of the succession planning process. I come in, I help you evaluate all of the previous key steps that we've talked about assessing the vacancy, I do that as an interim executive leader aligning the internal vision and communications with stakeholders. We do that in our role as an interim executive leader. We cultivate internal talent because we can see with a fresh perspective without any previous political insight to say hey this person here I think they're your guy or I think they're your person and I've done that I was working for an organization in Seattle and I literally within the first week Julia I said to the executive director I said you've got your girl right here I just had coffee with her this morning and they're like really I didn't think they were ready and I was like she's ready this this is what they need to do it but she's right here in front of you and so bringing in an interim can help with that but realistically I would plan 9 to 12 months to bring in an executive level person you know it takes it takes some time plus making the assumption they're probably at an executive level or a director level at another organization so they need to do due diligence with their agency just as you would want them to do with yours they need to give I would say at least 30 days notice if not 90 day notice when they're exiting their previous place. You know one of the things that you taught me early on and I think it's just fascinating and I and I don't want to move on to our next step without having you amplify this and that's the notion that is so fascinating and might be somewhat shocking or counterintuitive to certain people but the interim director never is considered for this job if they want to put their hat in the ring or if they're being asked to do it then they need to step back is that true. Absolutely and I will tell you I've probably done about 12 in my career so far 12 interim executive positions I would say all 12 have asked me to stay right the board knows you they get comfortable the staff knows you they get comfortable it's the easy decision on the board's part but as a board member it is your fiduciary right to not take the easy steps you have to do what's right mission centric right and so if I were to say hey I'm really interested in this I'd really like to stay right I've now got all the cards in my hands I've got all the advantage in my hand and so bringing in a professional interim executive should not ever be considered for that full-time position if they are considered just as you said Julia they need to remove themselves from that interim role. Yeah I think that's really important and and I think it dovetails to the notion of you know you're looking at board members who've got a lot of other things on their plate and so they're looking around saying how do we take the box and we get somebody managing this ship and and then I can move on to other things but it's not that easy. It's not that easy the other thing I see and I do not approve of is a board member being in transition or in retirement or in someplace in their life where they say I'll do it I'll take the role I'll take it on and it's like no you have just done a disservice to your peers to the organization to the community at large um so I really advise against that I've seen it I've absolutely seen it but I've 100% seen it go awry. Yeah and I think it's not uh to me when I hear that and I have been involved in that I would say um you know it's not professional it's not a professional approach it's kind of like a band-aid and and if you can navigate through this new professional class of leadership called interim CEOs or you know interim C-suite it's just going to set the organization up so much better. I mean I feel like Jared you can tell the groups that they make a rash decision and then they're back at it 10, 12, 16 months later trying to find somebody new versus if they stay the course and they're methodical and thoughtful then they they have a stronger base. Yeah and you know what Julia I see it um it damages culture it damages stakeholder communications and relationships and I think you're being very generous by 16 months down the road I see it happen way too often um earlier six eight months into the transition if they've chosen what is considered an easy path it's just it it might be easy but it's not it's not going to be the longevity. No it's not smart okay now this is going to be our last topic which I can't wait to dig into this because I think you and I have different perspectives and that is transition the individual into their new role and I was talking about this with you again uh in the green room chatter I'm astonished by the number of CEOs that will come to me and say you know I was hired and I and everyone knew who the CEO the previous CEO was nobody ever set anything up for conversation no one reached out I just showed up and sat down at a desk and what for me is such a missed opportunity and really poor leadership transition you have maybe a little different spin to to think about don't you? Yeah I don't I don't believe in that whole heartedly not not all situations I think that is a requirement for so when it comes to transitioning this individual role or this individual rather into their new role I really think it depends on the situation right and when I serve it again as interim executive um you know I serve I serve in many ways but oftentimes it's a triage situation meaning there was no succession plan and there was no you know like uh runway of knowledge of the CEO or our COO or CDO leaving and so it's not really in a healthy position um so it's a lot of that I think that that I'm seeing now if you have the ability and it's healthy and you have a wonderful relationship with the CEO maybe he's here they are retiring we've seen that a lot right now where a lot of C suites have stayed in their you know in the position they had a plan to retire but due to COVID-19 they said I'll hold on to the reins I'm here I'm not going to go anywhere I'm going to keep us steady I'm going to keep us floating we're moving into year three year four actually of COVID and so we have a lot of tenured professionals that are exhausted and they are well past the retirement plan yeah they're ready to leave you know um talk to me a little bit about the shepherding of an interim with a new CEO yeah is that part of this or do you just like so that's yeah that's interesting and I start on a Monday like what does that look like well when I come in I one of the first things I do is an organizational health assessment so it really is an analysis of all moving pieces of the organization that is given to the board and it's also given to the new hire right so so they have that to say okay a professional came in they pulled back the curtains they they rolled up the rugs and they looked at everything in the organization they've pulled out the skeletons the dust bunnies the you know oh nobody's supposed to see that let's not talk about that like we find them that's our job is to find them it's risk assessment right so what I tend to do though is I will provide some type of a transition but I tell the board you are no longer able to contact me I am not accessible to you as a board I am accessible to the new hire because the board has got to entrust the confidence the rapport and all decision making to the new hire because once that person is in place the interim or the former CEO should never be the one making decisions so if I have a board member contact me I just redirect them you know and say you know as a friendly reminder this is for the CEO I'm no longer in that capacity they are able to contact me the CEO could certainly contact me because I also believe in institutional knowledge transition and you know I want to share that so so we do that I do that I should say it's not always a cookie cutter approach for all entrums but I do think it's really important just as it is sitting down with former board members to know the institutional knowledge and the historical milestones of an organization yeah absolutely you know it's almost seems like it's a segue into coaching it is it is a segue into coaching absolutely but one thing I want to bring up on this tip in the transition is a PR plan a public relations communications plan for all stakeholders right internal external maybe there's a press release maybe you have a publication you know in your community that you really want to honor the past executive you can certainly do that in a timely manner if they are able to introduce the incoming CEO fantastic if not that's okay right and I would also highlight the incoming CEO separately so that you are able to announce that person to the community I'm so I really do think a strong PR communication plan helps to set you up for a successful CEO succession planning and transition I love that you brought that up of course you're speaking my love language you know absolutely and we don't do that enough because then it looks like sometimes that leadership change is a corrective issue and and you know we don't want to do that we want to maintain those champions and those links to what you know what has been moving forward without hindering that new leader I mean yeah I really want to say and I and I hear you and I know that it can seem like corrective and that's why if we don't tell our story people will tell our story for us succession planning and and new hires in this role it's strategic it's not corrective it's strategic regardless of the situation it could be a triage you could something something bad could have happened but it's still strategic and how you're handling this for the organization moving forward so that's your message right and again we've learned this from from many of our marketing people if we don't tell our story it will be told for us absolutely absolutely we want to be able to to navigate that forward well you are always one of my favorite guests well thank you Jarrett Ransom non-profit nerd CEO the Raven group what an amazing vision that you have of this beloved sector of ours and you you've been able to see and be part of so many different things and it's just it comes through every time we're able to talk whether we're yeah you know the rare occasions having coffee together but for most of you out there you know we don't see one another except every day for 30 minutes on the show right here so it's really cool to be able to have you all to myself and really get your vision and in your values and your wisdom so Jarrett Ransom again non-profit nerd the woman

weeks I said yes here we are coming up on 700 episodes moving into year four and we're still saying yes every day but I love it I'm passionate about our sector that's why I call myself the non-profit nerd but if anyone needs help with their succession planning reach out to me it's definitely a service line that I offer would love to walk you through this process so that it is successful no pun intended for your organization because I believe wholeheartedly in the great work that we do in our community and I want everyone to experience us in a very positive manner so thank you for allowing me to nerd out on this succession planning topic today Julia oh my god it's been a lot of fun again I'm Julia Patrick as you all know we've been joined by Jarrett R. Ransom the non-profit nerd herself CEO of the Raven group again we want to thank all of our generous sponsors Blumerang American non-profit academy your part-time controller be generous fundraising academy at national university staffing boutique non-profit thought leader and of course non-profit nerd wow okay Jarrett go forth and do great things today my friend thank you thank you for holding down the fort um tomorrow I'll be in the hot seat with somebody from fundraising academy for our friday and uh that'll be a lot of fun so join us in absolutely thank you hey thank you and as we like to remind everyone stay well so you can do well we'll see you back here tomorrow


talk about an institution that should be privatized. Let's talk about the Federal Reserve. Yesterday, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the chairman of the Federal Reserve gave a speech, a speech in Sweden. He was attending a conference in Sweden in Jerome Powell. Fed chairman gave a talk about Fed independence and sticking to the Fed mandate. And most of that was standard stuff. Nothing really exciting. It's a pretty short speech he gave in any way. But there was an interesting section there about climate change and about the role of the Fed. And I thought it was worth sharing with you because the Fed is under a lot of pressure, under enormous pressure to start regulating banks with ESG in mind, regulating banks with climate change in mind, regulating banks to not allow banks to lend money to oil and gas and do all kinds of crazy things like that. And to Jerome Powell's credit, he's standing up against that. So he writes, this is him speaking, I'm just gonna read you from his speech. Today, some analysts ask whether incorporating into bank supervision, the Fed is one of the five entities or seven entities that regulates banks. It's probably the most powerful of all the bank regulatory agencies. He says, today some analysts ask whether incorporating into banks of provision that perceived risks associated with climate change is appropriate, wise and consistent with our existing mandates. He says, addressing climate change seems likely to require policies that would have significant distributional and other effects on companies, industries, regions and nations. Decisions about policies that directly address climate change should be made by the elected branches of government and thus reflect the public's will as expressed through elections. At the same time, in my view, the Fed does have narrow but important responsibilities regarding climate related financial risks. I'm dubious about whether any of those exist, but okay. These responsibilities are tightly linked to responsibilities for bank supervision. The public reasonably expects supervisors to require the banks to understand and appropriately manage their material risks, including the financial risk of climate change. But without explicit congressional legislation, it would be inappropriate for us to use our monetary policy or supervisory tools to promote a greener economy or to achieve other climate-based goals. We are not and will not be a climate policymaker. So I like that. We are not and will not be a climate policymaker. The Federal Reserve has a mandate dictated by Congress. For those of you who still think that the Federal Reserve is a private institution, it is not. It has a mandate mandated by Congress, passed by law. That mandate is to do two things, to price stability, keep inflation low, in other words, and keep unemployment low. Now, why it has two mandates, and it really historically only had one and should only have one, which is price stability is a different issue whether it even has much control over price stability and how it controls price stability and whether it knows what it's doing with regard to price stability. All good questions, but that's its job, supposedly. But there is a lot of noise coming out of the Biden administration, particularly out of Congress, that the Federal Reserve should do a lot more about climate change that the Federal Reserve do, it reserve again should get involved in ESG. And I like the fact that Powell is saying, we are not and will not be a climate policymaker. He says we will not promote a greener economy or achieve other climate-based goals. That's not our job, we won't do it. So good for Powell, we will see how long this lasts. Of course, Congress could pass a bill that requires them to do it, but I don't think it will. I think there's enough of a stalemate in Congress that that won't happen. I do worry a little bit about him saying that there is some financial risk of climate change.  Let's say you're a bank and you're giving out a lot of loans for people building stuff in flood zones. That's a risk that you should take into account. Given the climate changes, just ask a California right now about climate change. It certainly seems to have changed, but climate always changes, right?  All right, speaking about California, this is not on my list, but we might as well talk about California. I don't know if you've seen what's going on in California, but California's got a once in a, I don't know, 20, 30, 40 year weather event. This is major and it's rare. It's actually rare. They've got one of those rivers of rain after rain after rain after rain. I remember this happened in the 90s when I was living in Northern California, but it's very rare to happen in the quantities. I mean, the ground, everybody speaks to Northern California, saying the ground is completely saturated by now. Any rain that falls is basically accumulates above ground because there's nothing to soak into the ground. It is really bad up there and the quantities of rain, 20 feet of snow in Lake Tahoe. It is not just a season. It is a very unusual season, but that happens. Of course, part of the problems are that California is not invested in mitigation for floods. It is not invested in mitigating against events like this because for a decade and a half now at least, California's been under this constant bombardment of drought, drought, drought. California's a drought, or once in a 100,000 year drought. It's gonna be a drought forever. The climate change has changed. We're now a drought, drought, drought. There's never gonna be water, enough water. And if we don't invest in flood mitigations, floods are no problem anymore. Now we have to invest heavily in mitigating droughts and the only way really to invest in mitigating drought is to kick people out of the state of California or to reduce people's consumption of water. God forbid you should desalinate or do anything like that. There's one major desalination priority in California and San Diego and it's brilliant. San Diego doesn't have a drought. Hasn't had a drought because they have plenty of water from desalination. But the interesting thing, that while California now is being just bombarded with quantities of water that's hard to imagine for California and nobody is arguing about, hey, we didn't invest in the right, and government, why was there no investment in the flood protection and in everything like that? I mean, what is going on right now? What is going on right now is environmentalists panicking that their drought story is over. You're even seeing some environmentalists coming out and say, well, don't think just because we've got a little bit of rain that the drought is over. As the snowpack is accumulating, as reservoirs are slowly filling, it still may be as a drought. You have to feel for the environmentalists. I mean, it's horrible.  You predict mass starvation, it doesn't happen. You predict the ice caps will melt and islands will flood and the islands don't flood and you predict that California is forever gonna be in a drought condition and it gets a lot of rain. I mean, it's very, very difficult to have an ideology and to sustain an ideology, keep going in ideology when everything you predict coming out of that ideology doesn't really happen and maybe it's not that hard. Somehow it doesn't seem that hard for them. Somehow it doesn't matter that they're wrong about almost everything. It's truly amazing that in finance and economics, if you're wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong, well, even that's not true. In finance, at least, in economics, that's not true. In finance, if you're wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong, people don't give you money. People stop believing you. People stop listening to you. People stop it. Raise money. But in environmentalism, somehow, being wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong doesn't prevent anything. Anyway, massive flooding, lots of problems in California, particularly in the North, but also in the South. This is ultimately good for the state. It'll get more reservoirs. It'll relieve some of the water constraints. If you're a skier in about a week, it will be amazing to go ski in Lake Tahoe once the snow passes. You'll have amazing ski conditions up there. So fly out to California, go skiing. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff that's coming out of this. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran Brook show.

If makeup makes you feel good about yourself, do makeup. So I'm all for do what makes you happy because life is too short. So, I think I'm into make up. If you want to do make up, do make up. If you don't want to do make up, then that's cool. It's not in my place to impose what I believe. Nakamini, majong, like, say ma itch ya beya. What is allowed in what extent? Team natural all the way. Like, kuna sura ingine, wacha yenda yifanyafanyu e mamboki dogo. Ndi opia yika e... Yena garage. Rejogu na sura reza kola wala hu sebemi ni team natural, nene niko, like, ah, I think... Oh God. ...tiga make up to kiasi tu. Jack, what do you like? What's your preference? About what? Make up. Ladies with make up. Ah, make up. Maybe make up to dogo, bene dijiya me sema. Kwa sa dijiya na sema make up to dogo, lakina nga liya desuki ya, ke bene kwa na make up. That's when I joined the Rambesha. I didn't know you were a Rambesha. Napia minim Kamba. Yeah, I wed him. Since when? I'm a little bit from Kamba. Since when? You're duke kwa matakutu, nye unibayonek. Yeah, but he was saying gine. He's too yellow, man. But the thing is, I think it depends on the lady. So, kama una penda make up. Monu wziweke make up. Nuna. But pihasa wzi overdu sana liya sana. Nuna, naja make up nika mamjengo. Yuki kuna foundation, kuna roofing. Like this, just a lot of things. But kama uko comfortable na yo, as a lady. Monu na nipoim. As an example, as an example. Miltitle must do foundation roofing. Nimefaya fe nya me explain kama ujengo. Nuna ipida foundation. Like, do you know? Kuna sura ina itazi fundi. Nakudia panye plata kidongo. So, ina nipi. Mani siya painting. You are not nice, by the way. You people are not nice. Laki ni nisa watu. Wacha wacha kubali. But anyway, so minor. Mimi na kujua. Laki na tukawam bie people what you do. Stand up, what is stand up comedy all about? And how long have you been doing stand up comedy? So I started doing stand up comedy on 9th December 2020. So that makes it really us. I know. Konini iko kuna ikumbuka zat vividly.  And it's just like a card. Like, I know when that show was. But otherwise I have terrible, terrible memory. So that's like the only thing that I remember about my life. I think it will impact mzuri kwa sababu. In the course of the three years, nime perform internationally in Derisa Lam Tanzania na Harare Zimbabwe. So it's something that has given so much to me. So stand up means so much to me. Because it just like makes me a better person. Because it's an avenue for me to speak truth. My truth. So I've been doing it for three years. And it's been amazing. Okay, all right. What about you, Jack? For me, I think I started a bit late kiyogo. It was I think January 2021. But since the exact date I got it. January 2021. Yeah, January 2021. And it's been good. So that's like three years. Three years has been good. Improvement, kidogo. I think everything today. I'm not sure if it's a standard komet. It's something I like. And I enjoy it. How did you meet both of you? We have never met. You've met this guy here. We have never met. We have never met. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. When you're dealing with... Like how to do it, what to take seriously and what not to take seriously. So I don't know if you're confused. I don't know. I don't know. So I met you in Mbale. I came to you. I was in the interview. And then we decided to combine our interviews. No, but I personally can't remember the exact moment we met. But it was within... It was a stand-up comedy. And I was like, how bad is this comedian? I think I should help him become a better comedian. And that was the start of me mentoring this young man. And he has been learning. So you have been mentoring him? I... Nakusiria. He has been learning. He has been learning. Let's just hold it there that he has been learning. We take a short break. And then we come back. So yes, we are taking a short break. We are taking a short break. And then we will come back. We are back. And we left the conversation. Atmaina has been mentoring Jack. Nakatwingiza box. Nakatwingiza box. Akusiria. Sendo na se ma... I... I... Like at this point, Sijui watch takes seriously. And what not. No, it's not possible for me to lie on national TV. I'm a truthful man. Alright, Somaina. I think the last time we met, you were doing stand up comedy. Sana, sana. But I think over the year, I think it's been a year or a year and a half. I have seen you transition into more satirical comedy, like doing more skits and posting them online. So why did you make that change or shift into that direction? It is just in an effort to try and have more range because I realized that stand up comedy especially in Kenya is not as big. So if you want to reach more like a bigger demographic, then you need to go where the people are and the people are online. So I just like use the skills that I've learned from the stand up comedy part of it to write sketches, to do satire work and all these skits and then post and reach a bigger demographic in the hope that now we can transition that audience into stand up comedy. So that's like the long... That is the long game. Alright, so Jack. Yes. Ni point gani ulia cha. Okay, I don't know if you still practice medicine. Ya, I still do. Ini scrub. Allah. Mam trokazi. You are trokazi. Sa hi, sa hi kumdani ngodya. Dakelu, nzakwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa.  Ita wami omani ataku wa tum pat. So tell us, like these are two very different things, medicine and stand up comedy. Like zinaengili anaji. How did you? Which came first? Of course medicine. But they are not too much for when you messema. Of course they say lapta is the best. Medicine, okay. So. But you say patanga, doctor, you think it's funny? No. So you have a bone. No, wait. So it's just something you balance between the two. Ya. But actually most of my materials and patanga from the experience thing, from the hospital and everything, because you guys are so funny when you come to the hospital with a lot of funny things.  Alright, how has the experience been? Experience which one? Stand up comedy. Oh, experience of course I have been having a good mentor here. Although too, I buy yangi lunch, but nesaw. Ya, ni atreo kazi utiana fukisha is by lunch. Imagine. Si po wa. Ah, doctor. But the experience has been good. Experience has been good. I can say what exactly about the experience now, Lisa, because Kavana stand up, you know like as a country, as in Kenya stand up a jagro because at any level where we want it to be. Ya. So as much as we have some challenges, but we are trying our best to push it if you care that level that you expect. Right. A minor is said that the long game is to like to transfer the audience from online to stand up comedy, you know, and come see you perform on stage and stuff like that. Ya. So you have an event coming. Tell us a bit about that. Ya. And you've been doing quite a lot of events. Ya man, I'm overworked and underpaid. So that's there. That's what we have to deal with as comedians and unfortunately as doctors in this country.  Being a doctor. I feel him chukubia da moji. Ya. He look well like. Ya. Na huku na huku. Nairobi. Nairobi. Daba doko Nairobi. Ya man, we have a show on the 9th of April. It's gonna be on a Tuesday. Yes, Tuesday. But the good news is that Wednesday is a holiday. So it's technically a Friday. So now Tuesday is Friday. Okay. So it's gonna be at the KO Craptral in Westland. KO is Kenyan original. So they have a beautiful gin bar at Delta Towers. Ya. And it's such an amazing idea because you can actually make your own gin and go home with it. Like I don't know how to explain how dope that idea is. So they give you the ingredients Kuhi na kiyia'y kaya. Kuna iso witu na piped. Inu na witu na chemistry. You're right. Unaunda gin nya kwa una taste. Alafu una ii bottle. And then you seal it. And they do like a special stamp and stuff. And you go home with it. Ya. So it's like an experience. Una itibtiyu. But when it came to illustrate the chemistry. I think to doanda pomba haramu. I know. I know So Jahu will also be performing Yes So tell us a bit about that as well and your expectations of that scene? Of course it's going to be a good show It's going to be a good show So if you want to see, you confirm it you can come over but I think first of all being like what do you call it? A collaboration with such a big brand Also it's a collaboration between you guys and the KO craft room So the KO craft room is run by Kenyan original They make really amazing saidas and also amazing gin So they want to venture into supporting their arts and now this show on Tuesday is the culmination of that conversation So our tickets are 1,000 shillings and the show starts at 7 up to 9.30pm Just 2 hours Yes just 2 hours So for the Kenyans who event in Anzanga 7 on Afikan 9 It's just Afikan 9 So what's your name? My name is Jini When do you make a joke? Oh God We're also trying to train our audience to be able to show up on time because in developed market you can have 3 shows in a night So we have like a 7pm show and a 9pm show So to kizuaishawa say show in hand and pack a late it means that we will be depriving ourselves of the opportunity to grow and expand in a way that I can do 2 or 3 shows in a night That's where we're headed That is how stand up comedy works Like you have shows from the 10th to the 10th In markets where they have a comedy club So in places like New York you can perform at 4 or 5 shows in one night But of course they have a proper transport system that moves you from point A to point B I don't think we're that lucky But if we put in the work maybe we'll get there So do you think you have been able to transfer the audience that you're talking about the people who see your kids will come to the event? They say they will come but we have to wait and see if we actually do Kenyans ah, ntakam bro Kamakura kitu nitafanya ntakuja yosho Umesama niti uze Niki niti uze niki ngawaja wasi Awakuji Ya, speaking of kukuja now that we have been good people and you wanna come and make some gin Are we getting tickets? Shamelessly Shamelessly, I'm so shameless right now but I will ask No man, we can give them two tickets Ya, we can give them two tickets Perfect, really is enough Just two You and the Liji Umu ataji kumaya The rest will buy their own Umu, Braio Muchi Singyot kwa apa So we get the privilege Anyway Nia angunia Hariso Hariso amejitete, ame temani ake So awengine They can buy tickets We wanna come and make some gin Hariso and his yellow decks You gotta bring your yellow deck We need more lighting in the show Can you project the deck? Okay, so before we wind up I know that has been very short I have a few questions Just a few questions Just a few yes or no questions Muneine Manchester or Arsenal Regardless of whichever team you support Arsenal, I think Arsenal Okay Jack Netflix or chill or Outdoor date Netflix Netflix Niniwale wa No Uliza yothu alitere No, now Answer Netflix or chill or Outdoor date Let me tell you one thing If not, we will be objecting Onee bele We see you Muneine, are you a morning person or a night person?

If it goes through, you describe, in short term, the crisis. Is it truly a defense crisis if sequestration happens? No, I think what I would say is that this is a huge fiscal problem for the entire federal government. And this is something that's being lost. It's not just about the military, not just about the Navy. It's about the whole federal government. Sequestration affects everybody. And I think that's something that everybody needs to keep in mind.


Hi So in this question we have been given four distance time graph of four different cars And we have to find out which car is moving With fastest speed highest speed and which car is moving with slowest speed So basically we'll have to arrange these four cars in order of their speeds So from a distance time graph, how do we figure out? What's the velocity? What is the indication of velocity or what is the method to find out velocity from a distance time graph? Now it's distance time graph given so In a distance time graph we can find out the speed and not the velocity for velocity time graph We have to have displacement time graph. So let's see So this is why distance time graph So here is distance in meters and here is time In seconds, so if there is a straight line straight line Okay, so the How do I find out the Velocity so velocity of velocity Velocity or As the velocity will be wrong term to use here by because it's a speed time graph. Sorry a distance time graph. So speed is given by is given by speed in In a distance distance time distance time graph distance time graph is given by the slope slope of the graph So what is meant by slope? So let's say the slope of this line Our graph in this case will be nothing but You take any two points on the On the graph. Let's say this is point a This is point B. So what you do is you drop perpendicular to both the axis from these two points Okay, so these are the let's say these are the perpendicular sign Okay, so so slope of slope of The curve is given by this length vertical length of the triangle. Let's say this is y and this Horizontal length x so slow Change the color slope Slope is given by Delta s upon Delta t in this case Delta s. This is Delta s. Why is Delta s? Why because this is s 2 if this is s 2 and This is s 1 so Delta s is nothing but s 2 minus s 1 divided by t 2 minus T 1 it's a slope now this slope is also equal to average speed Now in in case of a uniform speed motion Average speed is equal to instantaneous speed. So throughout the motion the average other speed speed is same as the average speed. So this is a uniform Motion now so basically Now the slope when the slope gives speed higher the slope Higher the slope of s t graph higher Would be higher would be the speed So clearly in this case if you see Slope of c is highest. So in this case slope slope of we can clearly see that slope of Of c is greater than slope of D which is greater than slope of a which is greater than slope of B By slope of c greater than slope of D Where because the inclination if you see C's C's graph is steeper than that of D's Again D's graph is steeper than that of A's and A's graph is steeper than that of B So hence C will be having the highest slope. So highest slope means highest speed So the speed will be also speeds of all these four cars will be on in the order c greater than D greater than a B this is the order of speeds of these four cars So clearly car a is faster than D is ruled out. Why because D is faster than a Car B is the slowest. Yes Car D is faster than car C. No, why because D is having Lesser slope than that of C and car C is the slowest is wrong Because C is moving at the fastest speed. So answer B is correct


Russia doubles its 2023 defense spending. Russia has doubled its 2023 defense spending target to more than $100 billion, a third of all public expenditure. This is reported by Reuters citing a document of the Russian government. They show that in the first half of 2023 alone, Russia spent 12% or 600 billion rubles more on its defense than the 4.98 trillion rubles or US$54 billion it had originally targeted for 2023. This spending in the first six months of 2023 amounted to 5.59 trillion rubles, 37.3% of a total 14.97 trillion rubles spent in the period. Russia's budget plan envisages 17.1% of total funds spent on national defense. It is noted that increased defense spending could increase Russia's budget deficit. As reported, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Russia's military budget this year is about 6.6 trillion rubles or about US$85.8 billion, but these costs may be higher. Between 2011 and 2022, Russia spent a minimum of 13.9% and a maximum of 23% of its budget on defense. The country has already spent 57.4% of its new annual defense budget, the document showed. Financing of the military and security services has never before reached such a large share of the federal budget. The government is no longer trying to save some of the oil and gas revenues in the National Welfare Fund. The pressure of sanctions creates great difficulties for the Russian state machine and it will shift war costs to the population and businesses.


What's good, George Boron, back again with another video. So we're going to check out 10 botches that resulted in serious punchmen for WWE wrestler Vince was very, very strict when it came to the botches and things of that nature. We've seen and heard the reports of how he would be quite upset depending on what the botch was or pertain to. And I can see if there was something that resulted in maybe someone getting hurt or maybe the match has to be changed or, you know, it revealed something that it wasn't supposed to revealed. I can see him getting definitely upset once you walk back into gorilla position and him probably yelling at you or maybe even finding you for the particular botch. So we're going to check this out. Appreciate all the love and support. You guys are shown on channel. Let's do this thing. Botches are unfortunately a natural part of pro wrestling, but certain botches have resulted in wrestlers being seriously punished. No wrestler is immune to botches, but when that botch is serious, a WWE management are left with no choice but to punish that specific wrestler the manner they see fit. Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 WWE botches that resulted in serious punishment for a wrestler. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lease. Also, check out our new channel, WrestleMania Shorts. Every time. Number 10, Alex Riley. Now upon Alex Riley turning on the Miz in 2011, it looked like Riley was going to be. This was and I have to pause it right here. When he finally turned on the Miz, people actually cared. People were into this and then it just, it didn't go nowhere. One of the future stars of the company, Riley would defeat the Miz at the Capital Punishment Pay-Per-View and it was reported at the time that he was set for a major push. However, on the raw after money in the bank, Riley and the Miz collided once again and the finish of the match was heavily botched. It was a clear lack of communication as Riley began to throw random punches and it was evident that the original finish had gone completely wrong. Even the referee Scott Armstrong looked insanely confused as to what was happening. Following the botch, a lot of blame appeared to fall on Riley as it would never be the same again. His push was instantly canceled and he was dramatically moved down the card. Damn. Number nine, Shinsuke Nakamura. When Shinsuke arrived. That's crazy. One botch essentially ruined his push. Damn. Cause it seemed like he had high promise after he was done with the Miz. But once again, he never went nowhere. The WWE's main roster in 2017, he was set for a push into main event picture. WWE had plans for Nakamura to face Jinder Bahal at the SummerSlam Pay-Per-View and it was a substantial rumor that WWE were considering making Nakamura the new WWE Champion. Sadly, WWE's high hopes for Nakamura were put in jeopardy when he accidentally dropped John Cena right on his end during a match between the two on SmackDown. This occurred when Nakamura delivered an exploder suplex once the match was over. It was rather apologetic towards Cena and while Cena was willing to forgive him, the same can't be said for former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. McMahon was furious with Nakamura and fans believe that this specific botch was where McMahon decided that he would not be winning the WWE title. Thanks for that. Yup. Yup. I remember that. They had a great match. But when he landed, obviously it wasn't intentional but and I'm sure John wouldn't have had a problem with him eventually being the WWE Champion. But Vince, that's his golden boy. You can't hurt John. What's wrong with you? Nakamura. That's exactly what it was. Yup. That sounds about right. Hopefully he was able to win back McMahon's faith and he would win the 2018 Royal Rumble but McMahon never pulled a trigger on Nakamura winning WWE's top prize. Nope. Number eight, Sim Snooker aka Deuce. The most fans know Sim Snooker for his time in the tag team. Remember now. He's also known for a WrestleMania botch that almost resulted in serious injury. One of the most memorable spots in the classic match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker at WrestleMania 25. This will take a perform his signature dive over the top rope. A snooker who was posing as a cameraman was supposed to catch him. Snooker failed to catch the Undertaker meaning that one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time nearly landed right on his head. The blame instantly fell on Snooker as he had one job in the match and he failed to win his way to the match. Damn. That was him. He would be used in a substantial role ever again and just a short while after the infamous botch, Snooker would be released from the company never to return. Damn. I didn't even know that. Whilst Perry Satton's run in WWE failed to live up to expectations, he was involved in one of the most controversial matches in WWE history in 2001. Satton would take on Mike Bell on a show called Metal and during the match Bell would botch several basic spots including a hip toss and an arm drag. The arm drag resulted in Satton landing right on his head. And instead of writing it off as a bad day at the office, Satton completely snapped.  This was completely reckless and WWE management weren't pleased with Satton's outburst. And instead of outright firing him, they would decide to give him the infamous Moffy character which saw him fall in love with an actual Moffy. Whilst he did this. Now it makes sense. That's some ventured. We're not gonna let you go. No, no, no, no, no. We'll do something worse.  We'll ruin your gimmick to the point where no one even will care about you if we do let you go. Damn. Nah, just let me go or find me.  That, oh, that's awful. The storyline was indeed designed to punish and embarrass Satton. The angle resulted in him receiving some of the biggest reactions of his entire WWE tenure. Which is crazy, but still not. I'm good on that. There's been an urban legend in WWE that Triple H has a personal issue with The Miz. This escalated in 2012 when it was reported a botch from The Miz resulted in him being chewed out by the game backstage. The Miz failed to catch our truth when Truth attempted a slingshot somersault during a six-pack challenge on court. It was a miracle that Truth wasn't seriously hurt. The moment The Miz came back through the curtain, he was held to account by Triple H. Dave Meltzer discussed the incident during an edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter as Meltzer added, Triple H gave Miz a tongue-lashing backstage about not catching him. Miz was a big favorite of management a year ago because his notoriety was such from real world that they got so much publicity when he won the title that nobody else in the company could have gotten. Being chewed out backstage is huge punishment for a talent. This type of action usually takes place with an earshot of other wrestlers, meaning that The Miz would have suffered serious embarrassment. Y'all saw how Brock just threw that title at Vince?  Y'all saw that? Only Brock can do that. I ain't skip that. 5. Shane McMahon The 2022 Men's World Rumble received extensive criticism from fans. The rumble lacked surprises, suspense, and the strong presentation of Shane McMahon was incredibly frustrating. McMahon's performance in the match was lackluster and he would even botch several spots including his own elimination. Shane was supposed to be clothes lined over the top rope by the eventual winner Brock Lesnar, but McMahon couldn't get over the ropes. It was awkward and heightened how much of a disaster the match was. McMahon was blasted by his own father Vince McMahon and his creative input in the match as well as his overall performance resulted in the prodigal son being let go by WWE. 4. Mickie James Mickie James is one of the most decorated female stars of all time. A one match in 2009 resulted in WWE losing faith in her. James would wrestle Gail Kim on Raw and the finish of the match was heavily botched with James botching several moves and a kick finishing move. When James got backstage she was told off by WWE management but this wasn't the end of a punishment. Just two months after the incident she would be dropping the Divas title to Gillian Hall. Hall was virtually a novelty act in WWE and she wasn't remotely credible. What made the situation worse was that the match lasted just over a minute meaning it destroyed James' credibility. The match was evidently punishment for James' poorly received match with Kim and it was incredibly petty for WWE to present their top female talent in this manner. Yeah, that's kind of... That's petty, bro. You don't do that. Yeah, she had a bad showing. Everyone has a bad showing. That one was pretty bad but you don't screw over your champion. Granted, let's just let you know they didn't care about it. It was the butterfly championship.  Mr. Kennedy WWE had big plans for Mr. Kennedy. He was insanely charismatic and was on paper the perfect WWE superstar. When Kennedy returned from injury in May of 2009 he took part in a huge 10 man tag match on Raw and this would end up being Kennedy's last ever WWE matchup. In the match itself, Kennedy would botch a back suplex to Randy Orton and this botch resulted in Orton complaining to WWE management and Kennedy was subsequently released from the WWE. Orton claimed that Kennedy dropped him on his head but Kennedy claimed that wasn't the case and Orton had simply jumped too high for the suplex. Orton's complaint was backed up by John Cena and with Orton and Cena being two of the biggest stars in the company, Vince McMahon simply couldn't afford to ignore their grievance. 2. Roman Reigns In 2013, reports surfaced that the shield had major heat backstage. This heat predominantly fell on Roman Reigns as Reigns reportedly had an argument backstage with WWE veteran Randy Orton. It was reported that Reigns had botched a spot with Orton at a house show and when Orton called Reigns out on the bot spot Reigns stood up for himself and this was ultimately fed back to Vince McMahon who was furious. McMahon wanted to bury their shield on TV and this was around the time when the shield's unbeaten streak was ended on a random episode of SmackDown and wouldn't be far-fetched to say that the two situations were linked. 1. Kofi Kingston Which is crazy to think about considering that was the guy that they were gonna... that he was gonna push to the moon. You would think he would care a little bit more. I don't know if he had...  It doesn't matter what it is. Whatever he wants, he gets. Decade before Kofi Kingston would become WWE Champion, they had plans to make Kingston into a certified main eventer. However, a botched finish to a match with Randy Orton and John Cena resulted in Kingston losing his push instantly during a triple threat match between the three aforementioned talents. Kingston forgot the finish and Orton didn't react in the best manner. No, he didn't. Kingston was supposed to be pinned following a punt kick but Kingston rose to his feet meaning that Orton had to improvise and deliver an RKO. Orton would scream at Kingston in the middle of the ring infamously shouting, Stupid at Kingston. This botch was enough for WWE management to completely lose their faith in him and a planned money in the bank win was cancelled and ultimately Kingston was relegated to the mid-card for the next decade. But they have a focus One slip up. They give him a desk hold and that's why we were hoping that they would bring that up. Like they brought it up when Kofi Kingston was feuding with Randy Orton but they didn't go nowhere. You was, I was hoping they would bring it up and it would really lead to a pretty good feud between them. The feud was lackluster. It should have been much better because they could have really played that out but you're part of the reason why I didn't become champion because you pool politics. They didn't have to go into the finish of the match and break kayfabe too much but you could say you pool politics. Leave it at that. You politic. You petition to make it seem as if I wasn't ready to be the guy. You know what I'm saying? And they could have really played that up. They didn't as much as we was hoping to. Honestly, Kofi Kingston title run was not that good. Because I think it was the opponents that he was facing and also he still had the new day vibes going on. He's just happy go lucky and I want Kofi to get a little bit more serious. He did a little bit with the Randy Orton feud but to me I felt like it was just all about jokes and stuff like that until he went up against Brock Lesnar and then he got destroyed in a few seconds. The moment, the lead up to it, the moment at WrestleMania will always be remembered. The actual title reign itself, not so much. But comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys know any other stories where a particular wrestler botched, made a mistake or whatnot and Vince and WWE they pretty much took it out on him and he pushed him or even let him go. Let me know some other infamous stories that relate to a wrestler botching up something, messing up something and Vince not having it. I appreciate all love and support you guys for showing on our channel. Roll it to 150K and I am still your Underspeed the YouTube Wrestling Champion of the World and also I am your In the Clutch World Heavyweight Champion. Appreciate you all kicking with me. See you on the next one. Peace.


This spring and summer, college students earned their diplomas and prepared for the next step. A Georgetown University study uncovered employment rates based on majors for recent grads. I graduated May of 2013. Nursing students had the lowest rate of unemployment. Now I'm working at Master General's of Nurse. Murphy previously worked at MGH as a Northeastern University co-op student. Working on the floor beforehand and having the experience and having people know who I am definitely led me to the job. Not all recent grads are as lucky. Architecture majors have the second highest rate of unemployment, only surpassed by information systems majors. Not much money on the market. No one wants to build. You kind of have to be creative with where you get your work. Seperetti completed his undergraduate degree in architecture. I had a couple of job options, but one of them was unpaid. And it was something I liked doing, but it was the fact that they weren't offering me any money. And then the other one was for a structural engineer, which really wasn't what I started off to do in the first place. Now he is in the Wentworth Institute of Technology one-year master's program. He hopes that a connection with a professor or a former co-op will lead to a job. We're doing research into what they want to do, and they're the ones with the money, so they might be able to pay us. All majors examined in the study showed a decreased unemployment rate and an increased salary for those holding a graduate degree. For BUTV 10 News, I'm Mollie Koek.

Mae'n i gyrwyr. I was hiding from him because I didn't want to know if I was going to play or drop it. He was going to drop it. I was hiding and then he was coming round in the corner and I was about 11 taps on the shoulders and he went, forget about last night. I've already called his daff of the brush, last night wasn't normal. This is what neither of you uses. Today you're playing against the best player in the world, Llywthyr Mateus and I looked at the gap and I'm sorry, I put he is and I walked off and he went come back ac nid o ran i felwg.

So I went the shopping board for a fмотр. I said I didn't realise brice is two goals. So I managed to score two. I managed to score three in fact. Was going that way I scored Artrick so. That was okay. Did you know how big the rivalry was between Celtic Rangers... when you played the flute, on your death threats.  He just said you know, if you scored the sash. You know, on what's a sash, he says that and you sure it is.     And then when I got that letter through, and I read it, and Walter read it, and he says, you think he's going to kill you?  And I said, get the police and then the police come. And I said, you see this letter, he's serious. I mean, the guy left his name, number, mobile house address and a lot.   So when I went and seen him, I waited two days, two days, I stayed in doors.  And then the police come and I said, did you see him? I said, yeah.   I went, nothing. I said, until he comes to our country, I said, we're not going to hang around the airport.   And then obviously I got a letter back from him. He says, OK, you've not done it for a while.  I could relax then.  But he's giving you something to check on to your car for bombs? Yeah, the police come to see six o'clock and I says, what's that? He says, check on your car for bombs. I says, what, if the car starts up, he says, yeah.  And he says, be careful with your meal. If you open it, it could explode in your face.  And so I used to get me made, Jimmy. So Jimmy, go on, take your drivers into work. I'll just have a cigarette at the moment. And I used to wait for Jimmy to start the car up and see if it blew up, I'd be like 300 yards away. I'd be like 300 yards away. I said, what are you doing?  Did you break into McCoy's this house? Yeah, I knew he kept his kitchen window open and I used to have a couple of paints at the grave. He calls you to go home at 11.30 and I'd just stay at the book. But I knew my house was 1.8 made from his. So I thought I'd just walk home and sit in for the taxi. And I was walking and I thought, fuck, I'm starving. So I knew he kept his back kitchen window open a little bit. So I got in and lifted the window up. And I went inside and I saw just me and myself, I had my sandwich.   He says, I'll see you in the morning. I went, cheers guys, I'll see you in the morning. I came back and they walked over the savage. That was hilarious.  Yeah, club because he said he heard somebody downstairs and that and I was just making me savage. I thought it was in my own house. Can you bust into the dressing room but you had two fish. I think you and McCoy's were injured. Yeah, it was me and McCoy's were injured. I'd been fishing, I caught a couple of trout. I said, I want these trout. I'm sticking in Gordon Jude's. Someone's caught, he went, I've got Gordon Jude's keys. And I was there, all given sponsored cars. Like they have money to give everyone a car with intent in-ground or something. And so I put one in the boot and Coy's, he went, he's going to notice that. I went, I know that, that's all right. I went inside his car and just squeezed it under the seat, right under the seat so you'd never find it. And then he Gordon Jude, you must have smelled the trout in the boot and he come in the dressing room with the trout. He went, I think you'll never catch me out. I went, yeah, you got me there mate.   And I went, no there isn't. And then I eventually seen it. I had to get it out.  And he tried to sell it, he couldn't sell the car.  So that trout cost me 17 grand or something. So I was regretted for it. Yeah, I had some laughs. What was the game you were drinking? Whiskey at half time and you came out and scored two? Cuffing on. Against horse. You were nervous? No. I was just fucking, I was just sitting there and I had the first half, I wasn't the best. I had that row with Coy's T. And I was just sitting there and I said, fucking, and I went, sorry Coy's T. I said, I had no problem. And I was sitting there and I said, fucking, I got a pulling finger out.  I went, no. I went, I won't get one. I went, oh okay. So I went in the boardroom, I had a treble. And I went, okay, there's another one. So I whacked that in. And he went, he had a drink now. And I went, yeah.  I went, okay, and I went and scored two in 20 minutes. But afterwards, I went in the cup final. I went like come up and he says, right guys. You've had your drink.  I went, all right then. So I went home. And I was about 10 o'clock at night. And I found out where the players were in the way, the managers and the wives. So I turned up the Indian restaurant. Took me clothes off and danced on the table, bollock-nated. How was your day? Yeah, it was a day. So it was a bit of a laugh.   You went from like, you know, every time you went to bed at night time and you knew you were doing something in the morning.  And I didn't really want to go into management. I did try it, kept it in manager. It's funny. The chairman says, Paul, get well to the third division.  How was it, Paul, going into rehab for the first team? Was that when you metted for the first team that you had that problem? I didn't really admit it the first time. Yeah, I didn't want to admit it, you know? I was only there for 21 hours. I was going to see the 28. Aeroclack can come and seen us. It was so funny. He says, when I said 50 questions, he says, five and under, you know, an alcoholic, and five and over, you are.  So I answered the 50 questions.  Liam Gallagher's done a few of it, who says that he's a part in one night and he put out a five extra, Michelle. It was in the town, it was in London. And someone said Liam Gallagher's in the restaurant. Posh is fucking, I went, all right. So I got out of the taxi and I went out. And I went, hi, Liam.   And he went, do you want a steak? I went, nah, nah, I'm not hungry. He went, all right, I'm just too set, and I'm going to tell you.   And I rubbed my stomach and I went, ah, cheers.  So I thought he's going to order another steak.  Wow, Jesus Christ.  I just put it down. And we just started eating again, never had a few drinks. Yeah, had some last for him. He's a good guy as well, he's talented. Yeah, amazing guy. Yeah, so I've had an opportunity to meet a lot of famous people. But I just take them as if one of me, you know, like you said, I just feel like I'm just like a normal guy.  I play for Tottenham. And the lads went, because I do something funny. I went, no, I can't, I was just a presser watching.  And when I ate a bone bastard, so now I'm driving home and I've got warmed up. So I look across the road on the way home and I see a zoo. And I thought, that's okay. So I went home and I couldn't sleep. I knew what I was going to be doing. So I went to the zoo, claimed a fence sort of thing, not in the guy's door who owned the zoo, lived in there.  And what do you want? Anything. I went, ostrich, please.  Yeah, please. So he gives an ostrich and I put it on my head shirt on the back.     But what was funny, the lads finished training, it happened at 12.  So I got to finish around about five o'clock, caught the ostrich cos I got tangled up in the shirt and I took the back to the zoo.  The feathers were all over the place and everything.  How was it going to Euro 96 with playing for a Scottish team? I got hammered for a few months of the players and we're going to stick it right up the English bastard. And I just went with him and I said, look you guys, I'm playing about again seven years, so I know how you just play, you just know how I play but you don't know how I'm like when I play for my country.  And I gave him quite luck, quick glance when I scored it. And then I turned away and he was fucking, he wasn't happy and I enjoyed the celebration. And it was quick, it was alright. You know, I was like, I went on holiday and I wasn't thinking about it. And then about five days ago, at the end of the holiday, I went, oh fuck, I've got to go back to Scotland, yeah. And I started panicking a little bit, but the lads were brilliant in the dressing room.  He wasn't happy. But yeah, the guys were brilliant, you know. I didn't want to go to Chelsea because of Hodl.


Hey, what's going on everyone? It is be Avery here and we talking more Captain Marvel This ain't no non spoiler review. This ain't no spoiler review We talking about that mid and post Criticine at the middle of the credits and at the end of the credits and how many y'all was like, oh my god Yes, Hercules. Sorry for clapping, but that's what I was doing. Well, I really wasn't doing that But I was doing it in my head. So let's talk about these scenes real quick We don't get the last the end post credit scene out the way. It was whack. I didn't like it I mean, it's cool. You know, some people liked it if you liked it.  What if he did that? So, um, I mean, I don't know It was a given.  I waited all the time for this. But anyway, let's talk about the one in the very middle It was dope. I mean just the cinema target feel long got me excited. Everything was just so goddamn shiny Or whatever new and laboratories and equipment and stuff like that.  Oh my gosh Endgame her up and get here. So One thing that it doesn't confuse me. I just want a good explanation. So of course we have captain america Steve Rogers We have black widow Bruce benner hawk and war machine roti in the lab or whatever and they're trying to figure out What the hell is going on? They got all these monitors going up like this, you know They I think he said like three billion or three and a half billion worldwide was gone I think I saw kenya up there. They had like two million or something like that It's like, oh my gosh, this is a nightmare. You know what I'm saying? But then they got the pager from nick fury or whatever, you know what I'm saying and they bypassed the battery And they're trying to sign the signal.  Like what are we gonna like or not? Maybe one scarlet or maybe one black widow. I can't somebody was like Uh, we don't even know what this thing does. It was Look man. How it were I can't even talk. I'm so excited. It's like How worse can it get man?   I believe and uh nick fury got dusted decimated and um Um, what is her name man? Y'all know who I'm talking about uh Maria hill or whatever the other shield agent she disappeared too The pages fell in the ground so high in the world They did just find a pager in the middle of the street out of nowhere like what caused them to go and pick that up I don't know Um, I really want I really want to know that now I'm pretty sure that they're gonna explain it in avengers end game I hope they do. I hope they just don't leave a big gaping plot hole like that But then we get captain marvel coming through teleporting that thing Where is fury cut to black? I was like, oh snap.  I like that. You know what I'm saying It looked like she done You know she looked like she done been through a whole bunch and that's what's up Look like somebody close to her at the other end of the galaxy was wiped out too What if captain marvel was wiped out? You know I'm saying like We don't know of course. We don't know But I like that or whatever now. I did not even notice myself crap I don't even have it only I was supposed to pull out the marvel encyclopedia, but that's okay Because it was brought to my attention to captain marvel can teleport So I believe she teleported in the lab or whatever But at the same and that makes sense because she has her power from the tesseract Or whatever and you know, the tesseract does give you the ability to teleport But at the same time, I don't want her just to be just op just overpower. You know what I'm saying like I want her to be able to I mean she can probably fly at lightning speed. She can teleport. She's super strong and all this I don't want her to be like I'm I mean she can do all this.  You got everybody else, you know, all this marketing material everybody's upgraded like, you know War machine like war machine and robocop times three Uh, but it was dope. I was excited like I just cannot wait for in-game to get here. So Um, that was basically it guys. I mean the cinematography I don't know it was just much better in that scene in particular than the rest of the movie And then we got these original avengers and captain marvel teleporting But I do want to know how in the world they found the pager that was in the middle of the street You know what I'm saying like I don't I think nobody picked up. Oh, I think this is an avengers page Hey avengers headquarter. I think your boy. He got dusted But he left his pager in the middle street, you know, where can we meet up at you know, I'm saying I I want to meet y'all Anyway, I'll buy dinner y'all like pizza wings hot dogs, whatever you want. I got the pager You know, and I got the food. Hey, can I be an avenger? I'm being silly But at the same time I really want to know how they found that but uh, the mid-credits scene was great The ending credit scene was wack as hell.  Did you like it? Did you hate it?
