And I remember being at this global gathering of the United Nations on climate change and meeting so many people around the world who just did not even know where the Pacific Islands were. And so from that came this poem. It's called Atlas. If you open up any atlas and take a look at a map of the world, almost every single one of them slices the Pacific Ocean in half. To the human eye, most maps sensor all land masses on Earth, creating the illusion that water can handle the butchering and be pushed to the edges of the world. As if the Pacific Ocean isn't the largest body living today, beating the loudest heart, the reason why land has a pulse in the first place. The audacity one must have to create a visual so violent as to assume that nobody comes from water. So nobody will care what you do with it. And yet people came from land, are still coming from land and look what was done to them. When people ask me where I'm from, they don't believe me when I say water. So instead I tell them that home is a machete and I belong to places that don't belong to themselves anymore. Broken and butchered places that have made me a hyphen of a woman, a Samoan American that carries the weight of both colonizer and colonized, both blade and the blood, California stolen, Samoa sliced in half stolen, California nestled on the western coast of the most powerful country on the planet, Samoa. An island so microscopic on a map, it's no wonder people doubt its existence. California, a state of emergency a way of having the drought rid it of all its water, Samoa. A state of emergency a way of becoming a saltwater cemetery if the sea levels don't stop rising. So when people ask me where I'm from, what they want is to hear me speak of just land. What they want is to know where I go once I leave here. The privilege of assuming that home is just a destination and not the panic, not the constant migration that the panic gives birth to. What is it like to know that home is something that is waiting for you to return to it? What does it mean to belong to something that isn't sinking? What does it mean to belong to the very thing that is causing the flood? So many of us come from water, but when you come from water, nobody believes you. Colonization keeps laughing. Global warming is grinning all at your grief. How you mourn the loss of a home that isn't even gone yet, that no one believes you're from, how everyone is beginning to hear more about your islands, but only in the context of vacations and honeymoon, football and military life, exotic women, exotic beaches, exotic fruit, but never asks about the rest of its body, water, the islands in them, the reasons why they're sinking. No one visualizes the Pacific Islands as actually being there. You explain and explain and clarify and fix their incorrect pronunciation and explain so they realize just how vast your ocean is, how microscopic your islands look in them, how easy it is to miss when looking on a map of the world, excuses people make for why they did not see it before. I stand here not naive to what I do represent and who I am to my community, to my Pacific Islander people that I am a poet, I'm a leader, I'm an organizer, I'm an educator, but if I'm being honest tonight, I just kind of am a girl with a broken heart who hurts very badly for the incessant attack on indigenous lands worldwide, and not just in the Pacific. And I feel it here in West Berkeley on the shell mound. I feel it on this occupied territory of the Bay Area. I feel it when indigenous people are trying so desperately to wake the world up and yet are experiencing the most desecration to our resources, to our land, to all that we are, to our cultures. And it hurts and it's hard. And nothing has taught me more about how to manage and focus my pain, quite like the trip I just took to Mauna Kea last month. What was supposed to be just a trip to Oahu to spend time with both family and friends turned into an immediate trip to the Mauna when I realized that the best friend that I was visiting, Jamaica Osorio, was one of the Kia'i who was on the Mauna, her body laid out, chained to the cattle guard, protecting her Mauna since day one. And the moment I realized that was the moment I realized that this trip had to look different and that I had to go to the Mauna because I was called to go. That it wasn't just a desire that there was something beyond me that was telling me I had to be there. I had the honor of not just being there but being asked to be a Kumu for what is actually a school that Kia'i has created on Mauna Kea called Pu'u Hulu Hulu University. So just like Kumu had mentioned, there's an abundance of food, there's a medics tent, there's free childcare, there's the kupuna are treated like the royalty that they are to us in their own section of the site. And then there's also free education through Pu'u Hulu Hulu University. And it's pretty remarkable. And I had the honor of teaching a workshop, a writing workshop. And I focused my writing workshop on something that Kanaka Maoli have been teaching me about, which is kuleana. For those who don't know what kuleana is, kuleana is the Hawaiian translation for responsibility. But more than that, kuleana is this reciprocal relationship you have to what you're responsible for and what that thing plays or person is responsible to you for. That it's about the reciprocal relationship that you have to it. And what Kanaka Maoli have taught me that I led in that workshop around kuleana is that unlike how we treat responsibilities here in the United States or in our daily lives where responsibilities are sometimes seen as an obligation or a burden or stressful, kuleana is not that. Kuleana is an honor and a privilege to have is what I was taught while I was on monachea is that it is actually an honor to be responsible to Kanaka Maoli people as they protect their sacred land. Because what I see in them protecting their sacred land is a reflection of myself. That it is not just me being in solidarity with Kanaka Maoli people. It is that Kanaka Maoli people are my people. And that monachea is my land. And so it is an honor to be with native Hawaiian people because native Hawaiian people are of me. And so what that taught me a lot of was around gratitude was that it's such an honor and privilege to be here in monachea and steward this opportunity to learn as a Samoan American, as someone in diaspora, as someone who also comes from a U.S. territory that has never been given back or never been asked for our permission to be two separate islands by the United States military. And so the next poem I wanna read from my phone was actually one I wrote on my flight home from Hawaii. And I had recently shared it via Instagram. And it's not actually very often that I share my work as publicly as I have been since coming back from monachea. That that is actually also the work of the Mauna, that I'm being called to share my work freely, publicly, willingly, because again, poetry as the gift that it is to my life, it's not a gift I'm supposed to keep. It's actually my kuleana to share it. And so this poem is one that I wrote when I was sitting on the flight home, dreading leaving the Mauna, but ready to come back here to do the work, yeah. This is the first time I've come to the nation of Hawaii without ever touching the ocean. I have never stepped foot on these royal grounds without bringing the ache for sanctuary and the salt of any tide that touches me first. Without my skin begging the Pacific to swallow me home until now. This time, the land needs me more than I ever needed the water. Coming to Mauna Kea wasn't a choice. It was simply my kuleana. I, daughter of a severed Samoa, feel diaspora hold and mirror up to my indigenous skin, never letting me forget that all of Oceania is my kuleana to protect. The Mauna calls me closer and I am not built to ignore any of our ancestors, especially when they're wailing from the mountain top, from the volcano's throat, from the sprawling lava rocks, from the wrinkles of our kupuna, keeled over at the feet of police officers who've come to arrest them for having the audacity of reminding the governor to ask himself which gods he serves, the one that can see the stars through a telescope or the ones that created them. A week, a few weeks ago, I saw a video of my best friend's brown Kanaka Maoli body stomach down, chained for 13 hours at the feet of her ancestor of a mountain, singing a mele aloha from her na'au into her aina as I watched her undying love for her country go viral on Twitter. My Oakland apartment flooding with my own tide of tears, high but a forgiving undertow. Anci Teresia already warned us before the cancer came for her, that we sweat and cry saltwater so that we know that the ocean is really in our blood. Do I ever really need the ocean if I keep forgetting that I am one? If I never step into the malu of the shore ever again, is the warmth in my own salt enough to cover my own people? If my best friend is prepared to protect the mauna for however long it takes, can I be ocean enough to sustain the both of us as I refuse to leave her side? If we are prepared to die, Hawaiian, Samoan, indigenous, forever dying American, will our children know that the trade-off was always our blood for our land back forever? For them. It's really hard, and I'm not gonna spend too much time on it, it's really hard to put into words what that trip to Mauna Kea was like. There actually aren't that words that I think exist in this lifetime to explain it other than you really have to witness it for yourself. What I will say is that there is something really special and powerful about what Kanaka Maui are teaching the world about a life post-colonization, that they're just existing in that life right now, in real time on the mauna. That we have the privilege and honor to see glimpse of it on Instagram, on live streams. Such an honor for us to even have that access, but there's nothing quite like it. I have told every person who has asked me, what was that trip like? How are you doing? How was Mauna Kea that? I just am not the same woman I was before I went to the mauna as I am now. And I thank Kanaka Maui folks for aligning myself with the values I have always had, because they've always been ancestral values that have always been given to me, that above all, the land has to be returned back. That decolonization is not a metaphor for the ways we want to reform and change life as it is. There's a return back to indigenous people. That it is indigenous people that I believe will be saving us in the devastation that we are currently existing through. And if I'm being even more particular, it is Mauna Wahine, it is women on all of our front lines that is really taking on that charge. And who knows colonization better than a colonized woman? And I can see it and I've seen it and I am living it that it is, that when women are in the front lines holding it, they're holding it for every single person, every child, every family member, and it's really powerful. This morning I spent time at the Gordon and Bettymore estate with our Kanaka Maui folks as we posted up in front of their estate because if folks did not know, it is the Gordon and Bettymore Foundation that has given $200 million to both Caltech and the University of California to build the TMT telescope, $200 million to build not just one telescope, but what is said to be the biggest telescope in the world on what they deem to be the best place to have it, which is Mauna Kea because of the climate. You can Google and research all the reasons why TMT chose Mauna Kea of all sites in the world. They say that Mauna Kea is the best one to have the telescope on and I actually agree that that probably is the best site to see the universe, how sacred and what a testament to Mauna Kea that is, that it is the only site in the world that they could point out on a map of why they need to be there. It doesn't mean that they have to be there, I don't think they should. It just means of course that spot. That just shows the royalty and the sacredness of that land and that also shows the power of Kanaka Maui holding the line saying Aole, no should have been enough, says Sister Havane, no should have been enough and it wasn't and so here we are. And so I stand here and I name that, it's a beautiful time for indigenous island movements and resistance and I wanna end with one last poem that I also wrote on this same flight home that I sit deeply with. I sit deeply with the nuances that we exist through that how do I organize for my people as I also am a settler on occupied land? How do we reconcile with all that we're dealing with? But I know that I have never been more focused and more energetic and more determined to continue this work towards our collective liberation. And I know I have Mauna Kea and I have Kanaka Maui and I have the Kingdom of Hawaii to thank for that for changing my whole trajectory of what I thought I was doing with poetry but what I now know I'm supposed to be doing with poetry, yeah. So thank you so much family for having me. This is gonna be my last poem before I introduce our next speaker. The world doesn't love Hawaii like they say they do. They love themselves and call it a well-deserved vacation. Call it a flash sale if you book your flight early. Call it hashtag honeymoon Aloha. Call it a tourist trap with a view. Call it 11 military bases on Oahu alone and enough homeless Kanaka Maui to build a new nation. But there is no new nation in sight. There's only Kea'i who did not die first who survived to reclaim this one. The university I graduated from is footing the bill for the telescope and hell waits for the unclean bones of the one with the biggest wallet. Those of Asian descent have yet to descend upon the Mauna with their gratitude and AAPI allyship at a size fitting for Hawaii's generosity and none of us from Oceania are shocked nor will we wait for you, teach you how to show up for us anymore. I know this rage I speak with is not Kapu Aloha. Forgive me Kea'i for simmering in my decolonial dreams on a tired spirit. All I heard from is spoken with our colonizers tongue in my mouth. All I have is this Kuliana who thought my words worthy of this lifetime with you. Forgive me Kupuna for wanting our colonizers beating hearts squeezed in my hands sometimes more than I want for you to die with the memory of what happened to our islands in the name of stolen statehood, Spanish-American war treaties, desecrated kingdoms, white missionaries, ethnic cleansing, nuclear testing, US territory, science. Forgive my rage Aina for how it fails to feel like love but is indeed the only love I breathe, the only love I pay for with my own inherited salt, the kind of love that can take the ocean away from me forever. If it means the Mauna and this nation is yours and only yours again. How I love that which I am ready to die for alongside you. How I love our liberation enough to be buried in it by our children with our sovereignty, my clean bones ready to return to the indigenous heaven they come from. How if you say this is our last stand from Mauna Kea to Ijumatau to Guahan, if this is how we malama our ancestors, then what an honor it is to protect all that we belong to with you. Until the last, Aloha Aina. Fafthail Teblava. Thank you.

Is she still in there? No, you won't have to look at her. How did it happen? Strangled. Why didn't she yell out? There were plenty of people around. Look, Ginger, we're asking the questions. Yeah, but since you raised it We figured the person who could get close enough To kill her was someone she felt safe with. She was murdered by someone she trusted, By a friend. Well, I was the only friend she had. Yeah, so they'd tell us. Unless she had a boyfriend. And who was her boyfriend? If she was strangled. Where did all the blood come from? Flatfoot didn't answer Marino. He shut up all at once As if he didn't have the heart to tell us the rest of it. His eyes gave him away, though. I got the whole score Just following his gaze around the room. First, he looked at the little phonograph. By using bamboo needles, She could play it late at night. Soft, you know, so no one could hear it. The needle was worn down halfway. All shredded as though it had been played over and over. Then his eyes wandered to a flat piece of paper That had eight or ten shiny new dimes on it. Some had little brown flecks on them. Then his eyes went down to the rug. It was all pleated up in places, Especially along the edges, As though something heavy, Something lifeless, Had been dragged back and forth over it. He danced with her after he killed her. Gave her a dime, a dance even then. Now will you tell us? Who was her boyfriend? Play that record. Maybe she'll remember some guy they both knew Who was hepped on the piece. It was the only one he played. That wasn't hers, she never had that record. Poor butterfly, she hated it. You couldn't stand it. Someone brought that record here with him. Sure someone did. Maybe her boyfriend sort of... There was no boyfriend. It was someone who waited for her In that room in the dark And killed her before she could scream. It was the same madman Who killed those two other dancehall girls. He pays a dime a dance.  Back at the grind. The flat feet let me go. Nobody told me anything.  Is this the killer? Has he a knife in his hand behind my back? Say, uh, can I see you a minute? Got a ticket? Yeah, but I don't want a dance, Ginger. I want a tour. Well, it's your dime. Say, how do you know my name? What just happened to her? Who are you anyway? Recognize those two guys leaning against the wall? The two flat feet? And I'm the third. Nick's the name. What about her boyfriend? Relax. We have proof it wasn't her boyfriend and wasn't you. Oh, then you expect him to show up again after what he's done already, huh? We just got the report on those other two girls.  Also, the fingerprints in all three cases match. He'll keep it up until we get him. Well, how do you know what he looks like? We don't. We only know he isn't through yet. That's why I was assigned to protect you. Protect me? Yep.  Now, Marina knows about the other two dicks, but no one knows about me. In fact, his headquarters told me not to tell even you. And why did you? I just saw how touchy you are. I don't want you to misunderstand my attentions.  Say, I'm your new boyfriend. Oh, I don't get smart. I never had a boyfriend. Good, now you've got one. Oh, 35 girls on this musical chain gang. Why do you pick on me? Because we found out one more thing about the killer's habits. The two girls that were murdered before Julie both had red hair. Julie had red hair? Yeah. And so have you, baby. Oh, I was set up as victim number four. Nice thought. But every night, like the milkman, just when the girls filed out to feast the arms and eyes of the wolves, there was Nick. Now, that was some comfort. Nothing personal, you understand. It was also a comfort to see those other two flat feet on the job night after night. How's Ginger? Fine, how's Nick? Hey, you're four minutes late. Miss me? Oh, I'm just a taxpayer that wants to see a public servant earn his money. If the city got broke, I'd do this job for nothing. Uh-oh, your straw boss, Marino, is giving you the high sign. Oh, I'll go see what he wants. You wait here. It's on your mind, Marino. Say, who is that monkey hanging around you every night? We pays for his tickets, doesn't he? Yeah, but he never uses them. Who is he? My boyfriend. Oh, you know him long? Long enough. Take care of yourself, Ginger. Don't worry, Marino. I know my way around, but thanks. Besides, we're not running any matrimonial pure around here. You've got to spread yourself around a little more. Share the wealth. There's other customers there. All right, all right. Now, watch out, will you? All right. What did he want? Oh, nothing. Nick, is there any news? You know, it's a month since Junior's. No, no, no, no. Calm down, redhead. That's just it. That red hair. Look, why won't you let me dye it? Well, I've got my reasons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You great, big, silent, strong cops. That's right, those cops. And then came that night. That horrible night. I was late as usual, got to the dressing room, planning to dress in no second's flat so I could get out on the floor and be with Nick. Somehow, I felt that I was going to need him that night. Some instinct told me it was a matter of life or death. It's been a whole month since the last one. What I like every once in a while is the good juicy murder.  What do you think I'd pay you, girl, for anyone? Are you looking out the door for a ginger? Now, you take that killin' the jewel. There was a real juicy ginger.  Will you cut it out? Oh, I'm sorry, dearly. I keep forgetting you and she was so cruel. Well, that's all right. I'm jittery. Laverne, have you seen my boyfriend? Not tonight. Maybe he got bored. Billy, have you seen Nick? You know, the tall, handsome... Not tonight, redhead. I guess he's giving you the air. Come on. Come on up. What am I payin' you for? Come on. What's the matter, ginger? Look like a senior ghost. What are you looking for out there? What's so fascinating about the clock? Marino, they're not there. Where are those two flat feet? How'd you know about that? Never mind that now. Where are they? Called off. Called off? That sounds scurry to me, but police had caught us because they frightened off whoever they was looking for. But that's crazy. I'm gonna fall in. I won't do no good. I told them that anybody had waited till it cooled off before trying again. Now is when we should have protection. Well, come on. Get out on the floor. Come on, Ollie. Out on the floor. Marino, the burn. Yes, hi. As soon as Nick comes in, tell him to come right here. Tell him to tap on the door. Sure enough, sugar. Look at me like that, poor ginger. Look, Mom, I gotta talk to you. I can't go out there on the floor. I'm scared. What are you staring holes in me for? Mom, you and I were here in this room. The last night Julie was alive. The night she must have been killed. Remember? Poor kid. I always liked you. We gotta remember. We've just got to. There was someone dancing with Julie that night. Some rum dumb. Julie said something about him. I can't remember what it was she said. Oh, you mean the one that hurt your hand? That's it. That's it. It hurt her hand. Then a wrist back when they were dancing. Yeah, that's the guy. She said it was almost like a zippy. Got a kick out of hurting her. Yeah. She ain't a squid. Yeah, I know. What else? What else? Well, Julie called him a cement mixer. Oh, now we're getting somewhere, Mom. Yeah. Oh, he had Julie crazy dancing like a slap-happy pug. I remember her describing it. He'd take three little steps to the right as if he was getting ready for a stand-in broad jump. That was it. Remember how Julie said she felt like screaming for Pete's sake if you're going to jump? Jump. Yeah, three steps to the right and if you're going to jump, jump. Hey, what are you doing, Ginger? Some detective work? Getting some clues? You know who we're talking about, Mom? The killer. Yeah. Oh! If he enjoyed hurting her like that, when she was still alive, he'd enjoy dancing with her after she was dead. Oh, he's washed some prune face. Why that? There's someone I got to tell this to right away. Oh, where are the... Nick! See you later, Mom. How's Ginger? Oh. How's Nick? Are you trembling? Sure it's me. Why not? I thought you were called off the case. We were. Then what are you doing here? Habit. Do you mind?  I don't mind. Boy, how I don't mind. And as long as it doesn't do to you anymore, do you mind if I do something to you that I've wanted to do for days? No, it depends. I want to take you in my arms. All right, take me in your arms and dance. Anyway, for the time being. I'm a rotten dancer. You're telling me. Nick. Nick, we got to talk. I just found out something about the killer that you ought to know. Later. I paid Marina for all the dances to the end. We can leave whenever you want. After this song, they play Dina, and then comes the break. We can leave then. What makes you so sure? Well, the band always plays a song in the same order. Then they can sleep while they work. I tell time by them. Climbhouse Blues means it's 10.45. Lady was a tramp means 11.15. Dina means 11.30. Never changes except when there's a request number.   Let up on my hand. Will you? You're bending it upside down. It hurts my wrist. I told you I was a rotten dancer. Well, for Pete's sake, don't dance like you were priming for a standing broad jump. If you're going to jump, jump. That's not Dina. No, it certainly isn't. It's a request number. Who requested it? I did. What's the matter, baby? I look sick. I feel just awful. I do feel sick. Am I dancing that bad? No, no, I just... Nick, I'll have to stop. It's the air, I guess. I'll go in and get drink of water. Yeah, drink of water in the ladies' room. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll wait here for you. I'll just be a minute. Operator. Operator, give me the police department. Homicide Squad. Hello, Homicide. This is Ginger Allen at Joyland. The third man you assigned to our place is... Night man. What night man? Nick Ballester, the one you assigned to protect me. The killer. He's taking me out with him. I don't know where to. Look, I'll leave a trail of ticket stubs. Please come quick. Good job. Goodbye, Katie. I'm sorry you couldn't work tonight. I'll fix it with Marino. How are you feeling? Shouldn't have come in here, Nick. Didn't you see the sign? All that. Men keep out violator subject to arrest. Didn't say positively. Besides, they wouldn't arrest a cop. Why couldn't you leave me in here alone? You were going so long. I thought something had happened. Nothing's happened yet. Asked me how, but I kept up a patter while we walked. All my brains are in my right hand to clutch those ticket stubs in my coat pocket. I kept dropping those stubs, making sure he didn't see. I tried to stay on the bright streets, but he led me to the lonely ones. The one we were on now was like a graveyard. No lights, no people. Suddenly, I thought my blood run cold. My fingers in that right hand pocket fished around like a drowning man clutching for straws. The last ticket stub was gone. Ginger. Yes, Nick? I'm hungry. Would you like some chop suey? Like it? Oh, I'd love it. He ate that chop suey with an appetite. Like a guy who had work to do. Work he was going to enjoy.  What a relief, all kinds of songs, but no poor butterflies. Nick was beginning to act nervous. He'd guzzle a cup of tea, pour another, keep looking over his shoulder like he was worried somebody might be following us. Then he'd grin like he used to and reach over from my hand. He pressed my fingers till they hurt. Hard like he never pressed them before. I guess... I guess he couldn't wait. And suddenly he stood up. Ask the waiter for the check, Ginger. I'm just going to wash my hands. Then it's time we left. Waiter. Waiter, quick. Yes, ma'am, what will you be? I'm leaving. When my boyfriend comes out, tell him you think I went back to the powder room.  I want to shake him. Maybe you don't understand. Ginger. We know. How did you get here? Ma'am told me, and I followed your ticket stubs. He almost saw me. Come on, quick. Marino, thank heaven you got here. Hurry up. I can't run anymore. I won't last the block. You won't have to, there's a vacant house in the middle of the block. Here. Inside. I think I seem coming. It's all dark in here. No one lives here, that's why. Here, I like the searchlight. There's a stairway leading upstairs. Go ahead. Now watch it. I don't trip. The stairs is broken. Now, do this door. Oh. Here's a candle and a match. Now we can see each other. Wait. Do you think we're safe? We'll know in a few minutes. Oh, Marino, it's him. I should put out the candle. Now hide, back there. I'll take care of him. Ginger. Kim. All right, you ask for it. We'll see about that. Who is it? Answer me. Answer me, please. Oh, why did you stop the music? We danced from the beginning of the record. Marino. Yeah. Yeah, Muriel. You think you can hide from me with different names and different faces? Marino. Why do you call me Muriel? What are you doing? I'm Ginger, don't you remember? I'm Ginger Allen. Yeah, each time you tell me a different name, Muriel. But you can't get away by changing names. Marino. The first time you changed your name was when you married me before I left for Europe with that operetta company. Remember, the orchestra played poor butterfly when you promised to love me forever. Help me. Somebody help me. Yeah, well, the next time you changed your name was when you thought I was dead, lived on my insurance and then married another man. No matter how many times you changed your name, Muriel, I'll find you. No. No, not me. You killed him. You killed him, Marino, again and again.  Yeah, next time I think I have, she rises again.  This is the last time. Nick! And now we dance. Now we dance. Here are your dimes. They got an awfully hard head. The police will be here in just a minute. Get into this. Headquarters never hurt you. They were instructed to say that in case you called. Well, what was the idea to scare me to death? Well, I figured Marino would call Ginger and her boyfriend once he thought the police were off the case. And when he did, I had to have you think and I was the killer so you'd run off with him willingly. Oh, good. It was the only way to find his hideout and the evidence we need. The phonograph, the record and the attempted murder.  How'd you know about dancing like a broad jumper and turning up my wrist? Oh, I listened outside the door to you and Mom talking about that in the dressing room tonight. Gave me a couple of neat pointers. I put them together with poor butterfly so I could scare the daylights out of you. Well, you did too. I ought to wring your... I'll calm down. No wife of mine is going to have a red head of temper. Wife of yours. You'll do anything. You'll learn how to dance, won't you? Yeah, it looks that way. No wonder you didn't want me to dye my hair. You wanted that nice premature gray color. And so closes Dime of Dance presented by Roma Wines and starring Lucille Ball, tonight's tale of... suspense. In just a moment, we'll hear again from Miss Ball. First, though, let's visit a glamorous casino somewhere on the sunny Caribbean. Smartly dressed people stroll about the gardens. The strains of a Cuban song float out. Two men watch from a table on the terrace. One is a Cuban, the other a North American. One is about to propose a toast. To your beautiful country, Jose. I drink to that. Now I propose a toast to this wine in which we drink our toast. It comes from North America from California. Its name is Roma. Only a few places in the world produce wine so fine that many countries enjoy them. And among these enjoyable wines are Roma Wines. For they come from vineyard districts that are among the finest in the world, our own sunny California. What better testimonial to the quality of Roma Wines could you ask than the fact that Roma Wines are made in California for the enjoyment of the world? There is a fine Roma wine for you, whether your taste calls for a sherry, a burgundy, or so turned. And no matter what type of Roma wine you buy, you know you're receiving a truly fine wine at a price made possible because Roma Wines are the overwhelming favorite of Americans. America's largest selling wines. Ask your dealer to show you his assortment of Roma Wines tomorrow and choose your favorite. Roma. R-O-M-A. Roma Wines. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Remember, this is the year of decision and that means that this year more than ever before we should all buy more and even more war bonds and stamps. This is Lucille Ball. It's been a great pleasure to appear on suspense this evening. Next week, I know you want to be listening, as I certainly will, to a very wonderful actor, Mr. Paul Lucas, who will appear in a suspense play called A World of Darkness. Thank you, Miss Ball. Lucille Ball appeared tonight through the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor, producers of Madame Curie. Don't forget, then, next Thursday, same time for Paul Lucas in Suspense. Presented by Roma Wines. R-O-M-A. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


All right, Cyber Traders, welcome on back here. This post-Traders Talk Tuesday edition of here of our afternoon meeting, January 11th, shortly after 2.30 p.m. Eastern time, and great to see Kathleen, great to see Chuck, great to see Norman and Bill, all of us live inside Cyber Group. And once again, if you're joining us back on Facebook Live or YouTube or our social streams, welcome on back as well. So, top right into it. We got the stock Vine making a strong push-up. It actually got halted just earlier, reopened up, and it's been pushing back up pretty nicely. So, what's the news out on this stock? Why is this up so much? Well, I tried looking for the news just a moment ago. I don't have any headline for us here. Just says that, you know, fresh Vine wine shares are halted on a circuit breaker to the upside. That's all I got. So, as far as what this company does, at least, this isn't the news as to why the stock is running. But just, it says fresh Vine wine ink, producer of low-carb, low-calorie, premium wines in the United States. It's a wine collection that features a California Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir, Chard Naves, California Rose A wine. So, that said, it's four o'clock somewhere. We got a little bit more time before the market closes, but hey, might celebrate with a fresh Vine wine. But nonetheless, nice push-up, so far heading into the afternoon. Looks like a new IPO, if anything. That's the only thing else I got for you here, because aside from what you see on the daily chart, there's no other history for the stock. So, it's actually breaking all-time highs as we speak. So, with that in mind, so we're gonna put this stock Vine on our afternoon list to begin. Definitely has pretty thin liquidity on the book, so you have to be pretty careful about that. It looks like there was a lot of sell-off here right before 230 Eastern, right before we started this meeting. You could just say that because there was a pretty big spike of volume right here. So, clearly this like 50, 60 nearly cent bar, you would imagine for there to be a lot of volume coming into this trade, just looking at the size of the volume spike. And with that, we ended up seeing a lot of sell-off, a lot of prints in red and black under eight. So, even with this little pop up to eight just now, I would be a little wary of it here. I'd anticipate a pullback down at least at first. And if not, if this keeps pushing up, at least shortly after we move on from the stock, look for a couple more breaks above eight. And with that, perhaps you'll catch a clean one. So, for right now, the Vine stock we'll put on our watch list so far. Now, what we'll do really just to make time, make efficient with time, we'll just go right from top to bottom because really, otherwise the SBEV, the PIK, the NTRB, VORP, all these stocks we ended up calling out at least from this morning or at least heading into the early afternoon. So, the SBEV trade, we ended up covering this stock from head to toe inside traders talk, our weekly workshop that we did earlier today. So, more or less the stock ended up making a bit of a pop up at first, but then ended up generally holding the top yellow line that you could see broke above it, but came right back under 185 and from there it just fell apart. So, for right now, it's actually trying to make that second wind type of move up as we speak. It ended up making a nice 10, maybe 15 cent bounce off the low right back up to another yellow line on my chart off of 162. I believe that was the opening bell print from today. I don't know, I don't think that this is ready to make a whole new run back up to break the HOD and break the pre-market high right off of two. If we come back to the stock at the end of the meeting and it shows more signs of life on the way up, then I wouldn't mind putting this back on our list, but let's see if there's any others that look a lot better for right now. Just a follow up on the vine trade, Kevin M inside Cyber Group says, yes, it was an IPO back from November, that vine trade. Yeah, not a whole lot of activity at least prior to December and it's already up above that high. So, PIK right now looking pretty similar in the sense of an afternoon run ended up getting halted pretty much right there at 12 p.m. Eastern time, ended up getting halted shortly above five, ended up opening up much higher, took a while, but ended up breaking higher as you could see right off the highs of like 555, 560 perhaps there, ended up breaking out pretty nicely. Now at this point though, lower highs off of seven, beginning to make a bit of a lower low off of 650. At this point right now, it wouldn't shock me that this PIK trade does come back down all the way. It was 570 the top year, but wouldn't shock me at this point if it's not gonna hold strong from where it's at now. To see this begin to pull back a lot further, given the afternoon move that this stock has had so far, I don't mind at least putting this back on or putting this on our watch list. Perhaps this is a little bit more volatile to the point where we could find some support if not from 570, then maybe from six as it continues to drop from here. All right, we keep it going. NTRB, nice move back up on this trade actually right now. Ended up making a pop going into the early morning here. Popped prior to 10 a.m. Eastern, got halted and reopened up, but ended up falling apart from there. This actually ended up making a nice move back up, but personally I would have thought that it would have came back down right towards here where it initially got halted and then made the bounce.  But yeah, for right now, more so heading into the afternoon, this stock is beginning to trend back up as you could see pretty nicely. The order book is rather thin, so that part I'm not too big of a fan of. I'll come back to this at the end. I'll come back to this stock at the end, NTRB, if we need to. We got a bark up next.  I don't know if you've been following that in the last few days. We have PETZ, we had dogs, and now we got bark. So bark today ended up making a bit of a nice move from four basically once it broke the high of the day and that major level of four. Ended up taking off pretty nicely up towards the high. You could see right off of 475, 473 there. I don't know, right now you could say it's kind of holding strong, but it's still pretty flat for right now. So again, kind of like the others. We'll come back to it if we need to. ACCD, and now at this point we'll kind of just skim through to see if there's anything else that's more than our price range or anything else that looks pretty strong on the way up. Looks like volume bar is glitching out there. TSRI, this one from earlier today ended up making a nice move in pre-market, but after the market opened up, this initial pop came right back down about three minutes later. So now it looks like it made a nice run at first, but this was pretty much going into the open and right after 9.30. So as a day trader, you're not looking to hold onto a position going right into the market open.  So it ended up making a nice pop leading into the open and then dumped right back down about like three to five minutes after. So for right now, maybe if this could break back over 11 here, it can make maybe like a 50 cent move perhaps, but I don't know, this stock looks pretty exhausted. Otherwise, speaking of exhausted, VERU, pretty flat right now, and we'll keep it going. The MOLN was from Friday last week, right? Or just yesterday even, right? This was the one that I was saying to kind of stay away from pretty spotty chart. Looks like it had a nice move today, you know, up 19 percent, but you can't use level three on this trade. There's next to no volume on the order books. So that's on this B fly trade pulling back. I was pretty excited to follow this heading into the afternoon. It was looking pretty good up until 2pm. It looks like dipped off from the highs there and pulled back. You know, it has good volume on the order book. It's trading about 19, 20,000 shares per minute live right now. I don't know, just the drop off here, I'm not a fan of. I was hoping to see this make a nice new high at this time of the day. And this drop doesn't make me think that it's going to make that move now. Turning over to a more expensive stock. Just wanted to look at Shake Shack pretty quick, but I'm going to pass on this. All right. You know, at DWAC, Trump's stock ended up making a big push for us going back into last week when we were trading it live in the phase three stock course. You could say the same with PHUN. Although PHUN is not nearly as lively. It seems compared to the fund trade. Albeit fund right now is holding over 275. I'm sorry, the DWAC stock is the one I was comparing it to. You know, I'll put both on our watch list given right now. We don't really have too many on there so far. The DWAC trades up just about 14%. It seems like this is trying to make another push back up. And if that's the case, then I would imagine for this fund stock to go with it to a degree. So for right now, I don't mind slipping both on the DWAC and then PHUN in sympathy with it. All right. Let's see what else we got here, folks, on the gainer side. You're first. We had PHIO make a nice little pop after the open, but that one pulled back as well. I feel like a lot of these died off from the morning. Spies having a nice retracement day back up. My BTBT up over 10% today, not in it anymore, but I know Bitcoin's had a good day today. Nice little push back up off the 40,000 price level. I did not buy any more just yet, but perhaps we'll see you later on this week. BCRX, wow, before jumping over to the loser's side for right now, BCRX ended up having another fantastic morning here today. Popped as soon as the market opened up. We were on this pretty quick, and then from there ended up breaking higher heading into the late morning, the early afternoon. They made a nice pop above 17, but fell back down from that point. And right now, pretty flat. So we'll keep this in mind as a good sideless stock just to check in with it perhaps tomorrow morning. Once the market opens up, if this shows good activity, we would love to call this out again. Looks like the vine trades making another push back up to the eight level there. So we'll jump back to the vine stock before we finish up just to kind of keep you in tune with it. For right now, let's just jump back to the loser's side for right now. The loser's list, H-U-D-I down over 30% ended up getting crushed early on this morning. I have no idea what happened to this trade folks in terms of news, but looks like ended up making a nice squeeze back up once the short's covered. And then at that point just fell flat. So, you know, I have no idea what happened to the stock that allowed for such a drop off from 22 down to sub 10. And really to see a stock make that fast of a recovery back up is quite impressive. We clearly did not get that type of squeeze back up on the pets trade today like we were hoping for beginning from yesterday, but ended up showing signs of weakness early on. The PETZ trade would have found this on the loser's side of things anyway, but for as much down as this was the last two days down over 82% from yesterday morning, you would have thought that this would have made some sort of squeeze back up. Did not do it today. That's okay. Well, we'll keep our eye on the stock, but they don't all squeeze back up as fast as the H-U-D-I did today. That's pretty weird. All right, so we'll see what else is out there otherwise on the loser's side, PACB trading over 10 million shares. It's trading about 14,000, 15,000 shares per minute right now. That's pretty decent. So in terms of just more of a tradable volatile stock for right now, I don't mind slipping the PACB on our list here. It is shortable, so if we happen to see more signs of weakness heading into the close, no more selling as it breaks below 1450, that could be a pretty interesting short setup. Otherwise, if we happen to see support hold, perhaps we'll get a push over 15 at that point just to kind of see a break out of this channel here. All right, let's see what else we got here otherwise markets up today, so probably not too many familiar names on the loser's side of things for right now. I'll tell you though, this Q-FIN stock at the lows and actually dropping off live. So it's hard for us to not put Q-FIN in particular on our watch list as a possible short. SFM, you could say the same thing, but Q-FIN is a little bit cheaper, moving faster in more of a clear direction down right now. And that's just about it, folks. I think that's all you got from me on the loser's and gainer's side all together. If there's anything else up down more than 5% that you would want me to look at or check out here, just type it in the chat board. And right away, we do have one from a few minutes ago from Mitch on YouTube, which Connor. NTRB, all right, so we were gonna jump back to this stock here at the end and thankfully Mitch pointed it out once again here. So showing more signs of life on the way up ended up beginning to make the push off 750. And yeah, this thing's looking pretty good now. So, the NTRB we said we'd jump back to and it looks pretty good. OTLY, how about OTLY from Mark? It's up 13 and a half percent. I appreciate the call outs, definitely not a bad one. If anything, it looks good, chart looks good. Just, it looks so flat the last near 15, 20 minutes. That doesn't make it seem as attractive. The fact that it's up near the highs, up 13% right within our price range. good liquidity on the order book, more often than not, I would put this type of stock on our watch list. It just seems so flat the last however many minutes. So that doesn't make me feel too good about it, but not a bad call. BDTX testing 520 students says Norman. That was from earlier as we were beginning this meeting. And right now, I mean, hey, this was one from the morning as well. It's still up 14%. It's actually pretty close to the regular session, HOD right now. Doesn't seem like it looking at the chart, but high of the date today in regular session, 521. It's at 514 right now. This one also seems a little stagnant the last three or four minutes, but from the start of this meeting, trended up pretty nicely. It also is shortable. So if this fails to break out higher and makes it false breakout, perhaps this could be a pretty good short otherwise. I'll slip this on our list for right now, maybe give this a second look. Eight stocks to work with right now, folks. That's CSRI trade, just made a little pop grant. Yeah, again, this one right now, I feel like just traded too much volume and even from pre-market. So I was saying, is there a chance for this to make like a 30, 40, 50 cent move? Yeah, yeah. So far it's made just about a 20 cent move off the level. If anyone's in right now, they're off to a good start. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Look what happens on Vine. We didn't even get a false breakout. It just held eight like a rock and then just completely tanked. Not even a false breakout there. That doesn't look too good right now for Vine either way, but for right now, I'll keep this on our list. Just wanted to give you a last look on this stock before we wrap up. IRNT from Norman, let's see. This one looks all right. It's up near 14%. Maybe this was climbing up the gainers list as I was going from top to bottom. I don't even think I clicked on it, but if I did earlier, I probably would have passed, but now, now over the last five minutes, definitely showing a lot more signs of life on the way up, breaking above that resistance at 395 and breaking above four right now as we speak. Looks better now. So yeah. All right, folks. So now, all in all, we got two, we got four, six, eight, nine stocks to work with. Still not too big of a list, but for right now though, I would rather all of us here live, just stick with this list to begin. If there's any side list stocks that you're more so following, keep it to yourself unless if it's making a big pot. Hey, if it's making a very big move, then call it out. But otherwise though, we just ran through the whole market. So I like this list to begin. And then otherwise, if there is anything else that can make a move unless it makes a big pop right away, we'll kind of wait up until 315 Eastern time, perhaps 330, and then we'll see what other opportunities there are out there. All right, so for all of us on Facebook Live YouTube, YouTube Live Facebook, I'll probably never get it right. I appreciate it either way. If you have any questions, feel more than free to send an email right on over to my email address. I always post here at the end of the streams, Josh at ctutrading.com. Otherwise, if you wanted to continue the audio commentary for the rest of the day today, for this week, feel more than free to go right down to the link on the banner below, the stream there just to get yourself started. But for Norman, for Chuck, for Grant, for Mark, for Scott, for all of us here live right now, I look forward to talking to you folks later on today at 330. Take care.


The Excalibur was fired on Ford Operating Base Frontenac in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. This GPS-guided high-explosives estimated cost of $80,000 was shot from an M777 howitzer cannon by Bravo Battery's 2nd Battalion 3rd Field Artillery Regiment. I'm the M.L.A. team chief, make sure the rounds are right, the powders are right, the fuses are right. Everybody's doing the right thing, so my chief can focus on his job. The 1st Platoon of Bravo Battery experienced this type of fire mission for the first time on the deployment in Afghanistan. They don't get shot very often due to the high cost. They shoot them mostly because they're more accurate, because they're GPS-guided and they want to limit the collateral damage and casualties that can be caused by field artillery. For the combined team ready first in Kandahar Province, I'm Army Staff Sergeant Jason Ragucci.

Everything is down below in the description. Team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. One thing before we get into this video. If you have a grudge with somebody, let it go. Let it go. It's, it's not worth it. It's not worth your time. It's not worth your energy. It's not worth taking up that mental capacity whenever you think about that person. Like, oh, let it go. Even if you've let the person go, even if it was over something legitimate, still let it go. Even if y'all not going to talk again, still let it, don't hold on to let it go and you'll feel so much better. I love y'all. Team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. Without further ado. Let's get into the episode. Next question came from my guy Brandon P. He said, Hey engraving and team keep it clean. How would you feel about the Ravens adding another backfield dog to our already stout running game in Todd Gurley? Here we go. How would you feel about that? Yeah. Yeah. Ready for this? Y'all not going to like me. Y'all not going to like me.  Like the last two years, Todd Gurley, this dude hasn't even got above four yards, four yards per carry, not above four yards per carry. Look at our dogs that we got right now in the house, both above five yards per carry. And then there's this guy who keeps getting forgot about Justice Hill. Justice Hill. Y'all. He ain't just a special team. This dude has major speed. I'm talking full on burner type speed. He can make things happen. And I wish y'all take a look at his college tape. This guy had over 3,500 yards in college, 3,500 yards in college. I'm talking 32 total touchdowns. Do was a beast and college and he needs an opportunity to shine here. Shutting the Todd Gurley on top of that, it hurts the cap. And it hurts Justice Hill's opportunity to be in Baltimore. He put on Twitter because he thought the writing was on the wall right after the season that he's got to do what he's got to do. And we knew that that man roster wise, he thought he wasn't going to be able to see a future in Baltimore. But we want Justice Hill in Baltimore. We don't want Todd Gurley in Baltimore, I'll be honest yet. He brings a decent amount of talent, but it does nothing but slow the team down in what they're currently doing. Four running backs doesn't work. We saw it last season. We saw, okay, Ingram was there. That's cute. But at the same time, we knew who he was and we knew Gus was so consistent that he was going to get buried on this depth shot. I'm coming out balling. Ingram, why don't you go ahead and take a seat over there. It's going to be me and JK over here and Lamar, of course, leading the way. But to have Lamar, to have Gurley, to have Gus, to have Dobbins, and then JK on top. I mean, we're talking a stable of five running backs. We just talked about everybody got to get fed. Well, in that situation, somebody gets left off, but we know it's just it's going to be left off of it. And then it's going to be between Gus and Dobbins. And here we go. We got Gurley added to the situation. It's not going to be a good situation because somebody is not going to get fed or not going to get used. And honestly, they're going to try to shoot out, try to push out Gus when they don't need to. Gus is that dude. He had six, was it six yards of carry that year? And I believe Dobbins had like five, it was above five things like 5.3, 5.8, something on those lines, yards per carry. We got to be able to use those two, one, two punch, of course, with Lamar on undesigned runs and stuff to be able to move the chains and then be able to, on those passing downs, use justice heel. He's a great back to be able to involve in the passing game. Of course, you need that bailout route. That's what improved Brady's game. If you looked at the tape on Brady last year, after he lost to Chicago, it seemed like he went into that quarterback's room or went into that offensive coordinator's room and said, Hey, look, I need my bailout route. Give me that running back who's going to do that out route from the backfield just in case I can't get this shot downfield. That's what improved Brady's game throughout the time he was in New England. That was the difference. He was able to do the skinny scenes in New England and how the running backs do outs in case something wasn't open. And of course, he had Julian Edelman going across with drags in the slaughter slants. Well, of course, the game has changed when he went to Tampa Bay because he's got deep ball guys who can catch those 50s. If they ain't there, he needs a bailout route. That's your running backs. Baltimore needs that as well. And that's justice heel. Todd Grutter doesn't fit the equation. He's not fit for Baltimore. Granted, it's his hometown. Sure. Have them assign them a one day contract. Go ahead and retire. Something along those lines, but he is not meant for the It's just not a mash right now.  I'd be heartbroken because I love me some Gus. Love the bus. But if, yeah, one of them got traded, then I'd be like, okay, bring on Gurley. But right now I just, it doesn't, it doesn't fit. All right. Next question came from my guy, JP said, engrave and hope you and the family are doing well. Keep the positivity messages coming. They're quite refreshing. Appreciate it, man. Love the videos and look forward to your Ravens 53 roster prediction. I'll see how you slip that in there trying to be sick. Cause that's not even his question. He said, my question is why are wide receivers now staying away from Jersey numbers 80 through 89? Looks like breaking out there lonely with number 80. Kind of missed Isaac Bruce, Marvin Harrison days and stay blessed. I just, it all depends on. I can't say receivers are staying away from it, but especially with the new college rule now and that when they can get those numbers, a lot of them had those numbers in college. But as far as the Ravens receivers, I wonder is I think a lot of them are going to those lower numbers is because all the tight ends are taking up everything. Cause we got like 23 tight ends on the team. So they've taken up all those 80 numbers. And like Hollywood where he went to five, well, he was at 15, but so he was never in the 80s conversation. But yeah, Ravens got so many tight ends and they already got them all. So that that's probably why. Yeah, I agree. I think it's just a fun thing. You know, it's a fun perspective. It's something different. You know, you told me that I couldn't have these numbers for so long. And now I can. I'm going to figure out a different way, just like the touchdown dashes, you know, at one point sign, there was no touchdown celebrations because it was no fun league. And then Godel say, you know what, y'all hate me so much. I got to get you something. I got to give you something. And so he gave them the touchdown dance best. So here it is. He's bringing more fun into the league, allowing them to move their numbers back over to what they college number was. As long as they go ahead and buy up the stock of the jerseys, they should be good to go. I think a majority of them is a point of pride. Like, hey, look, man, I wore five in college. You know, I don't care about, you know, with Joe Flacco war, whatever, appreciate respect for some of the Super Bowls and stuff. I'm going to rock my five. And it's just like I respect Hollywood for it.  Hey, you mind? I'm going to do it anyway. But it was just saying I just want to make a phone call just to say I made a phone call that way. People ask me, I made a phone call. But I'm still wearing this jersey them and Joe's active. You know, he's doing this thing over there. I mean, he might end up starting for for the Eagles, whatever. It's competition. But Joe's still active. That number should still be used. If we were tired, every mediocre player is numbered across to that. I'm sorry. That's not allowed. OK, if we were to every single player that, you know, had let's say decent performance for the Baltimore Ravens, we couldn't get enough players on the field during camp is what it is. And so I think, yes, paying our Hollywood movement to that number. You know, anybody else who wants to move to those numbers where it be queen or four or anything like that, it's just a matter of fun. I wouldn't think too much of it because of the fact that they just out there having a blast and I can't wait to see what it looks like. Now, Brady's mad. Brady is like, live it over this because he can't tell who's who.  Or if he's where he sees a linebacker, he can't tell if it's a nickel corner. If it's an actual linebacker coming at him so he can't call out the mic. Oh, well, he can be going mad. He just going to have to adjust to the game. Of course, he will, you know, he will or he'll retire. Hopefully, I'm just saying the next question came from my boy, Kevin S. He said, love your show, bro. I'm a Louisville, Kentucky and watch Lamar Jackson in college. A huge Lamar fan and love that he's with the Ravens. Perfect fit. Ever since Lamar Jackson has been in the league, he has not been surrounded with weapons like Patrick Mahomes. Lamar won an MVP with less. I don't understand why more national news and Ravens fans are not as excited this year more than any other year. He has more weapons than he's ever had and he's more mature. Why are we not talking about Lamar Jackson as an MVP in 2021? He got the MVP with less talent. Even J.K. is a better running back than Ingram in my opinion. Thanks. Now, I've seen a lot of people actually talk about Lamar Jackson as a possible MVP for this season, especially with what the Ravens have done at the wide receiver position this year. So I I I've seen a lot of people saying that maybe not the national media or anything like that, but certainly a lot of Ravens fans and not even just Ravens fans, but people who objectively watch Lamar Jackson play. And I like the point that you made about Lamar Jackson being even more mature this year because, yeah, he does have he had his rookie season.  And then in the second year he had he won MVP, a unanimous MVP.   And it's sort of a good problem to have. But at the same time, you know, people just waiting for them to fall short. And what? But anyway, with Lamar Jackson, he this will be his third. This will be his fourth year, excuse me. And his third season as a four time starter and the maturity level. That's something that I think me myself, I don't talk about enough. Yeah. But he he'll be that much more comfortable this year. And despite what a lot of people would say, like if you listen to the national media, they'll be like, oh, Lamar Jackson, he had a bad year last year. He had a down year last year. But again, you got to think about what like where do you how do you follow up an MVP season, no matter what you do is the only place to go is down. Yes. But even last year was not a bad season. And something that that's been a trend with Lamar Jackson. Ever since his rookie year, his touchdown and interception ratio was always really good. And we've seen the improvements, the biggest improvement that he made from this rookie season to his and even till now, because his rookie season, you saw this dude losing fumble at the fumble, at the fumble, at the fumble, at the fumble, at the fumble. But that's not that that wasn't an issue. His MVP year wasn't an issue last year. He corrected that. So he's been taking steps forward and leaving the issues that he had in the past and the past. Now, with Lamar Jackson, one of the things that I'm the most excited for this year and like you talked about earlier, when you talked about the repetition, what you do in practice and then it translates to the field. If you keep on repeating it in practice, one of the biggest things I'm looking forward to with Lamar Jackson this year. And hopefully he can't be. I don't even care if he gets regular season MVP, I'd be nice. But I just want to get a Super Bowl MVP anyway. With the one of the things I'm looking forward to with him the most is a deep ball improvement that would do wonders for this team because they they missed a lot of opportunities with that. Sometimes Lamar would over, though, sometimes he would under throw. But with the deep, if they can get that deep ball going and make teams like respect the deep ball, not just respect Hollywood deep but respect the deep ball period, if they can get that going. This offense could be on. I mean, it's already on another level, but if they can add the ball to what they already do well, man, that thing would be nice. Big facts. I'm telling you. So I think the way, you know, people, they got to stop looking at the MVP stuff because that's just the that's the shiny new toy, to be honest with you.  Something new and Lamar Jackson was that it was magnificent for the the season and, of course, him to lead the league and touchdowns. That's awesome. But right now, I had to say, who was going to be the MVP for the 2021 season? I got to go with Justin Herbert, the throw, a touch on the ball. Oh, my gosh, the guys, the guys' throws are amazing. And I'm not saying Lamar's aren't. I'm just saying this guy, he really makes the tight throws. He makes the touch throws. He's got everything around him that he needs to be successful. It's already proved that Baltimore, of course, has these new shiny toys. And like you said, the deep ball is going to improve because they got guys who know how to jump up for that deep ball and Tyler Wallace and Rashad Bateman. They actually go after it, climb the ladder and get the ball. This apex come down with it. In fact, they led the league, I want to say, in college. They were some of the top performers as far as the the the jump balls. You know, they they loved it aggressive and going after those big time catches to add Sammy Watkins to that mix and have him to be one of those jump ball type players is going to make Lamar's job a little bit easier as far as those passes on the outside. I think, like you said, the repetition piece is going to be a key part of that. But as far as the MVP, it's going to be consistency. Can you be that consistent thrower or can you be that consistent playmaker, should I say, because it's really about the playmakers. It's not necessarily about who can be the best thrower. We saw that when Lamar killed it for the MVP season. Yes, he scored the most touchdowns. But at the same time, it was just the crazy plays like the plays against the bangers, plays against the Texans. I mean, the highlight reels. How many times do you get on the highlight reel? Pretty much is what it was. Like, I remember watching him in college and him being able to be on the highlight reel because he was throwing those 50-50 balls in Jason Smith. Or like when I went to go watch Lamar's take, it reminded me. So I was like, OK, his his, you know, his highlight reel was nice. But then I went and watched each individual game. And the individual game was this old highlight reel.  Did that one? That just went 70 yards. Like this dude is crazy. And it was just off of one little read option. He gets some action like that this year and stacks highlight reel on top of highlight reel and starts to turn it into like what 2019 was and using those receivers getting involved. And that's how you make an MVP. You know, that's that's how you get on the national television. The more national television games, we've got more opportunities that votes will come through because those writers who are the haters right now will then go ahead and flip their flip the script. Oh, he's amazing.  I'm like, what are you coming from this? You know, y'all saw this man just won an MVP. Now you want to say, oh, Lamar can't throw. Oh, Lamar can't hit the deep ball. Lamar can hit the deep ball. He's just it's up the middle at this particular time. It's just the ones to the want to say to the far right. And that's where he struggles at. But you can see the ones like the game against Jacksonville. He was in the deep ball to the left to Hollywood Brown, the Browns game, the first game in the season. He dropped a dime to the ground. He's able to make the throws there. We just got to get more opportunities. And Greg Roman has to be open to listen to Keith Williams as they incorporate that in to the passing attack. Like I liked during the was it the offseason during the camps, the mini camps or the OTAs when they showed the kiss route.  It was a it was a chair route, but it went back out into a post. And I was like, this is I don't know here that they incorporate some of this and it's going to allow more to do what he does best for that fade. OK. And you know what? Speaking of Gero, let's just go ahead and segue into our next question that came from our boy, Manuel. He said, what's up in Graven? Shout out from Mexico. I was listening to your recent question from subscribers that had the question about maybe HR wasn't willing to bring the people to evolve our wide receivers. And that got me thinking. David Cully was our passing coordinator and was helping Greg Roman build the air attack for his offense. But could it be that because Lamar is so unique in his talents that even if both Giro and Cully watch Michael Vick, Tyra Taylor and other mobile quarterbacks tape in order to create a passing scheme for Lamar, it wasn't working because he is levels beyond those guys. Maybe not on arm strength, but the mobility and speed he has his leagues above what they had in their time that he needs his own passing offensive scheme to evolve. Since Keith Williams and T Martin can train wide receivers and make them elite and they can see better how they flow with Lamar, maybe it can help Greg Roman be more creative and stop assigning Lamar a Michael Vicks box and create his own. Stay safe and tell Carter to be great at what he wants to do when he is big. Appreciate it. So what is the question? This is a very interesting one because I mean, basically what he's saying is that he feels like Giro and David Cully tried to put Lamar Jackson in a box like like a Michael Vick try to make him a Michael Vick. But he's saying with Keith Williams and T Martin, he hopes that they can train the wide receivers, make them elite. And this can also help Lamar Jackson. They can just develop a passing game for Lamar Jackson and make him his own guy. Uh, I think they're already doing that. But hopefully, like this year, they just they let loose. Like they started to last year now. They started to early on last year. Like I remember the first couple of weeks, definitely the first game definitely against the Browns, definitely that Texans game where they you could tell like they told Lamar, hey, though it don't don't don't take off even if you especially in that text in this game, because I remember there was a play in the red zone, Lamar dropped back, nobody was open. He had a lane hit. It was touchdown if he would have ran. Well, he just waited, waited, waited, waited. Then he thought to Hollywood at the back of the end zone, but he overthrew him a little bit. But so they they started to a little bit last year. They start to really let it rip. But hopefully this year, when they do let it rip, they like they they take the leashes off. They say, Lamar, go do your thing, man. Do your thing, like go after go get it. And now he has more experience received with Sammy Watkins that I think hopefully he can stay healthy. That's that's the biggest thing. Hopefully stay healthy. But his experience can help a lot and it can help everybody who's underneath Sammy Watkins as well. Because again, Sammy Watkins knows what it takes to to win it all. He knows what it takes to get there. He knows what it takes as a team to get there. So hopefully he can help the Ravens, especially on offense with that. And like you talked about earlier, with the Rashad Bateman, with the Thailand Wilders, with them really going after those those 5050 balls, maybe Lamar Jackson, this could be a year where he might take some more chances. Because I know that that's been a thing with Lamar Jackson, too, where he can he won't really take unless it's to Hollywood and Mark Andrews, those two. Yeah. But with everybody else, if you're not open, then no, you're not getting the ball thrown your way. And hopefully one thing that will take Lamar's game to a whole another level if he started throwing receivers open that. Oh, boy, if if he. But I don't I don't think that there. I don't think that Greg Roman and David Cully were doing a thing where they were trying to box him in with Michael Vick or Tyra Taylor. Yeah, I just I don't think they were doing that. Hopefully they weren't. But this year, I just feel like they could just let him looks. And here's my thing, I think, you know, when John Harbaugh, when he was applauding the way that Greg Roman ran the offense when Marty was here to try to help save some things, I think Greg took it like, hey, you know, we're doing these great things. Let's continue to do them. But then I think he told Cully, like during the game planning or to input the past part of the attack, he's like, hey, when did you go sit over there? Just just go sit over there for a while. And Cully's like, I got some great ideas. No, we we're running this thing and we'll use your basic routes of those flies and those outroutes. That's pretty much what we're going to stick to. And then if all else fails, we'll just go ahead or run an inseam up to Mark Andrews with a jump ball. Sound good? Cully's like, yeah, I guess if that's what you I mean, you know, that's what you want to do. But I think that Williams and Morton are going to have a little bit more of a backbone and they're going to jump in there and Harbaugh is probably going to be right behind him saying, hey, Giro, I'm going to need you to listen or you're going to be gone a week, seven. I'm just going to tell you straight up right now, you need to listen to these guys and incorporate this into your offense or things are going to shake up. They got to listen to how routes are going to be ran.  In Outrout, a slant doesn't look like a slant. One thing, one of the things I used to look at was Stevie Johnson when he used to run the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, nothing too. Nothing looks like a regular route for him. It didn't, and he actually said it when he was doing his training videos. He was like, look, man, you running a slant, the corner don't need to know you're running a slant. The quarterback needs to know you're running a slant, but you get there how you want to get there. And that made so much difference in his routes. Hans Ward, same thing. You didn't know what Hans was going to run. He was a wildly tight receiver or whatever. He didn't run mechanical routes. And these quarterback or these coaches, the wide receiver coaches are teaching them how to run non-mechanical type routes. And that's what's going to confuse things for these corners. That's what's going to shake up the plays for this offense is non-mechanical type routes. Sure, there's, you know, slants are going to probably be a little basic or whatever, but the jump step now is something that's getting incorporated in. They're just throwing these corners off because you don't know which way they're going. And these hips are getting put wide. As soon as these corners are going wide, then that's when these wide receivers are going to take those opportunities and make things happen big. But that's what these coaches are teaching. And the coaches are going, like he said, those daggone drills, they become the routes. And the routes are going to become the plays. He put it on Twitter straight up. That's how it's going to be. G-Ros got to be able to be humble enough to listen to them to make it happen. And that's what the Ravens are going to come big. Shout out to the Ravens.
