The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest-mounted police who preserved law and order in the new northwest country where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant. When Joe Hannigan walked into the Yellow Nugget Cafe in Dobie City with his small daughter Dolores, the eyes of every man in the crowded room turned to him. It was unusual to see a man bring a small girl into a cafe. What can I do for you, stranger? There's Mike Hannigan's place. I want to see him. Mike, don't see just anyone, mister. He'll see me all right. What's your name? Hannigan. Tell him his brother's here. As Joe stood looking about him, nothing escaped his notice. He watched the gold-changing hands at the card tables and speculated about the profits in the cafe business in the Yukon. The toys of the cafe gave way, and he remembered with twisted humor the series of events that had led his brother, Mike, from Seattle to the Yukon. Yeah, Dolores is a wonderful girl. The first time I ever laid eyes on a Joe, I knew there'd never be anyone else for me. There's only one thing that bothers me. What's that? A dog of hers. I don't like dogs. I never did.  I don't know what it is, but somehow or other, she seems to talk their language. Well, come on. I promise I'd stop over to see her before I leave town. Mike, before you leave, I wonder if you'd do something for me. Sure. What is it? Wags needs a new car. Will you bring one back with you? Uh-huh. I think the one he had before. That's right. I'll go to the door with you. Fine. Well, so long, Joe. Bye, Mike. Have a nice trip. Yeah. How long have you been gone a few days? No, Wags. You stay in here with Joe. I'll keep an eye on you.  I never knew of anyone winning a girl by poisoning her dog. Well, it'll Mike get back here with a dog collar. Him buying a collar for a dead dog. I'll be buying a wedding ring for his girl. Oh, he's hated Wags. I knew it. He didn't make any secret of it, but... but I never thought he'd kill him. Well, maybe he was jealous on Doris. He probably felt you thought more of poor old Wags than you did of him. He didn't mean any harm, I'm sure. Wags? Oh, he could be so cruel. Joe remembered Doris and turned to him. And a short time later, they were married. Mike left Seattle before the wedding. If after her marriage Doris realized her mistake, she never said anything. Yes, Joe remembered. Ten years was a long time. There he is, Mike. Says his name is Hanigan Joe. Hello, Mike. Why the layout you got here? How've you been? When did you... Oh, this is Dolores, Mike. Dolores, huh? Hello. Well, I'll be...  Do I? I don't remember my mother. I do. She was a very beautiful woman. How do you like it up here in the Yukon? Oh, I like it fine. Especially I like the dog. That's another way she's like her mother, Mike. Has that same way of making friends with every stray dog that comes along. You sure do look a lot like my daddy. Smart little thing, too. Say, Joe, how's everything going for you? I mean, how are you fixed for money? Well... Ever since Doris died, me and the kids... Well, how about letting me stake you? Stake me? Ah, a lot of fellas get grub-staked up here. Before you know it, they had paid us.  Listen, breaking my back, swinging a pick is out of my line, Mike. We can talk about that later. I'll let you have whatever you need. Come on over here and meet the boys.  Oh, it's time we shoved off, Mike. Joe, I've been thinking... You wanted to take Dolores tramping around with you. It's not good for her. Can't phase on such a good atmosphere for a little girl to grow up in. I guess I can do for her right now. We'll be seeing you. Let me know if you need anything. I want to do everything I can for the kid. I figured that was the way it would feel. Oh, goodbye, Dolores. Bye, Uncle Mike. You have to come and visit us sometime. You bet I will, honey. Take care of her, Joe. He's an awesome nice man, isn't he, Daddy? Yeah. Doesn't he have any little girl like me? No. Where are we going now? I'd like to... Oh, look! Oh, King. Oh, you musties. Oh, what a wonderful dog! King, quiet, King. Come here. Dolores, stay away from that dog. Stay away in here.  What's a dog mean? Hi. His name's King. Is he yours? Yes, he is. King. Oh, you're very lucky to have this dog. And all the others, too. King is a fine dog, young lady. And what's your name? I'm Dolores. Dolores Hanigan. This is my daddy. Hello, Dolores. Come on, I said. Bye, King. Bye. In all my years on the trail, I've never seen anything like it. A little girl coming up to a pack of huskies she's never seen before and not a quiver of fear. Well, seems like the young lady has a way with dogs, huh, fella? Hanigan. He looked a lot like Mike. And yet, you growl at him. As Sergeant Preston stood musing, Joe Hanigan and his daughter made their way to a small square cabin. Before the man had a chance to knock, the door jerked open. I love a peek. What kept you, Joe? Oh, I wanted to see my brother, Mike. He sure went for the kid here. Yeah. This ain't no place for us, see? I know what I'm doing. She's got me out of more jams and a smart lawyer. Folks just take one look at her and figure I must be all right. You should have seen her with that policeman a while back.  The policeman's dogs treated her like she was a long lost friend. A big dog named King. King? A dog named King with a policeman. Hey, that must have been Preston or the Mollies. Kind of interferes with my plans, Joe. I didn't know he was in town. You've been shy of lawman ever since that time in Frisco, Charlie. We don't have nothing to worry about. Forget about that. Keep that kid of yours away from the dogs up here. They ain't house pets, see? Work dogs. Most of them have wolf blood in their veins. Dolores, we want to talk for a while. How about going outside? All right, Daddy. Just don't go too far from the cabin. Bye. Bye. I sent for you because I think we can make a rich haul. Yeah. But before we start anything, Charlie, I'm going into the cafe business. My brother of yours must be a pushover to catch you. And Mike ain't taking me into the business. He's moving out of it. I got things figured this way. The night about nine o'clock, you ought to be sitting in his office. You will be outside the window. Uh-huh.  That's right. And you let him have it. Yeah, we can't pull that with a Mollie in town. He'll be at the cafe keeping his eyes open. So much of better. Line chances out at 10, he'll go straight to Mike. You can drop him killing two birds with one stone, you might say. Sounds pretty noisy about that time. Yeah, I could slip in the front and mix with a crowd. Yeah, I think you got something there. Remember, we go 50-50 on the deal. Meanwhile, King and Sergeant Preston were making the rounds of Dobie City. Mike Hannigan walked with them, talking happily about his niece and his brother Joe. The great dog King had tilted his nose in the air, stopping for a moment. The cold air brought the scent of the small girl he recognized as a friend earlier in the day to his keen nostrils. Reaching up, he gently caught Preston's hand in his teeth, pulling him toward the river. Even before they reached the water's edge, Mike's eyes widened in horror. They saw Dolores delightedly jumping from one ice flow to another, unconscious of the danger of the treacherous current. King knew from experience its power, and quickly he lunged into the icy water.  That's it, boy! We only get to her before that ice starts downstream. Dolores! Hey, Dolores! All right, boy. Now hold on to her, Dolores. She's got her. If he can only make it back. Space white, Joe stood by helpless, watching King, every second seeming like ours. King did make it back, and it was Mike who took off his mackinac on the biting wind to wrap it around the shivering girl. Joe stood by later, too, in the Yellow Nugget Cafe, while Sergeant Preston and Mike rubbed warmth into his daughter's cold hands and feet. Oh, King, old boy. You did a great job, fella. He's such a good dog. Joe, you shouldn't have brought her up here. This is no place for her. She'll be running risk like that all the time. No, I don't think Joe made a mistake, Mike. We want to build worthwhile communities in this wilderness. One of the best ways to do it is to establish family life. You know, men come to the Yukon chiefly for gold. But children like Dolores make them want to use the gold to build something better. That's your job, Monty. But not entirely, Joe. It's everybody's job. King knows that. Men who have their families with them here look for gold because it's a means to give their wives and children security. It's everybody's job to protect that security. Dolores is your family. And believe me, she deserves the best. It was ten minutes to nine at night. Dolores was tucked in bed upstairs over the cafe. And with King at his side, Sergeant Preston mingled with the crowd in the yellow nugget, looking carefully at the men lining the bar and at the card tables. In his office, Mike Hannigan went over the cafe's books. I thought you were with the boys, Joe. Hey, what, see you. I'll be out in a little while. I want in a few things in the books. I can wait, Mike. Besides, Dolores wants you to tell her a story. A story? Yeah, sure. Just make something up.  Oh, you've got a mixed up, Joe. A kid with the yellow hair went to visit three bears. I think. Well, go on up and tell her about them. Maybe that'll put her to sleep. It was King who heard the shot first. Sergeant Preston walked quickly to the office. As he stood in the doorway, King hurled all his weight against the man. He knocked him to the floor. And not a moment too soon. The window. He's firing from outside. Thanks, King. Steady, old boy. He's already got Mike. Wait, King. I'll shoot the light out. Then rush over and open the door. There he goes, King.   Get off my gunhand and I'll show him! Hold it, King! Hold it!  All right, boy. I've got the gun. Get him down! Get up and remember you're covered. Now walk ahead of me. In this door. Sergeant Preston, it's Joe. Joe? He's backwards to the window. I thought... You know him, huh? I think he shot the wrong man, Mike. Oh, Brian. Charlie, huh? He might be O'Brien to you, but he's a murderer known as Conklin. Charlie Conklin in San Francisco. I've been trailing him ever since I got the handbills on him. He worked with another man in the States. The authorities never had any definite information on his accomplice. Joe, he... He came in about five minutes ago and asked me to go up and tell the lawyers a story. I said I would put her to sleep, but she was already asleep when I got out there.  You was to be in that chair. You mean... Joe knew you were gonna... Surely, no. I'd have got you too, Monty, if it hadn't been for that dog of yours. You're under arrest, Conklin. Mike, I think this might have been Joe's way of making Dolores security sure. You'll have to be her father now. Yes, King. The case is closed.

Our next caller is Arondu from Arizona. Arondu, how can we help you? Hey, what's up, Sal? What's up, man? So, I have a question for you guys. I guess I've always been prone to injuries. It's a nice way to put it. I currently have a shoulder injury and a hip injury. But I mean, I think I've heard every joint in my body. I don't know why, I guess, from having the wrong movements is what you guys say. So, I heard myself doing, I don't even know what I was doing. Honestly, I think it was deadlifts maybe. Maybe sled pushes is right now. What's really killing me is my hip flexor. I actually couldn't walk for a few days. I iced it and then it was good. It's been a few weeks since and now I can walk, but I'm scared to go back to the gym. I just started doing a Maps Prime Pro. Now, there has been one other time that I started doing that and it felt like the injury actually came back and it was doing, I had thrown out my back and I think I did windmills. Windmills and it hurt my back again. So, I was wondering if you guys have any, I know you guys aren't doctors or anything, but I'd appreciate you guys' advice. Should I rest or should I jump back into Maps Prime Pro? It has been a few weeks and I can walk now, but after like a full day of the work, I know my hip will be inflamed. I've been trying to do, I do 90-90s, and my thoracic spine mobility is not the best because I'll wake up and it's really aggravated. So, yeah. Okay. Well, okay, so a few things that I'm hearing.  You've injured yourself quite a few times and you are trying to figure out how to prevent that from happening again. And then the second thing you said was, I did a mobility movement, but I hurt my back doing it. So what this tells me is a couple different things. One, I think you should focus on improving your movement patterns for a long time. I think you should give yourself at least six months of just learning how to move better. But there's one other thing I'd like to add, which is start to listen to your body, right? So can you hurt yourself doing a mobility movement? Of course you can. If you push yourself past the point of your control and your stability and your mobility. So what that means is you're going to have to approach these things a little bit more carefully and err on the side of caution, all right? So when you're doing these movements, ooh, that feels a little bit tight. Okay, don't go that far. Find the edge and play with the edge, but don't go past the edge. But I definitely think you should make this your entire focus for at least six months, okay? Because the pain going away doesn't mean you're done, right? Oftentimes when you hurt yourself, there's a lot of things that happened until you hurt yourself. So just because the pain goes away doesn't mean that the problem has been solved. I'm hearing a potential strong anterior pelvic tilt. That's what it sounds like to me. When you feel the hip flexors really inflamed and tight like that, you got low back stuff that's going on. Have you taken the MAPS Prime zone test? Have you done that? I haven't done the zone tests. I know since I had injuries, I kind of just jumped straight into MAPS Prime Pro. I mean, I would encourage you to do the test just because I'd like to see where this breakdown is happening the most. So an anterior pelvic tilt looks like where your hips are rotated. It almost looks like you're sticking your butt out a little bit and you have more of an excessive arch in the low back. Do you know if you have this? Yeah, I've heard you talk about yours. I've kind of been trying to fix my gait because it feels like as soon as I wrote, I mean, to fix it, I kind of just, you know, brace my core, I guess, and rotate my knees and that'll fix it. But I mean, I can only remember to do that like for 30 seconds and I'm sure it goes back. I'm just unaware of it. But yeah, I do have one. So yeah, what I want you to do is to lay down on the ground on your back, bend your knees at about 45 degrees and then see how much of a gap you have between your low back and the floor. If you can reach all the way under there with your hand all the way into your forearm, you probably have this very similar to I do. And some of that is core control, right? And core strength, so working on that. So the back presses on the ground and then of course like doing like the hip flexor deactivator exercise at Sal's taught on the YouTube channel. But I would go through the prime zone test and see where you have the greatest challenge. If you see that when you go to do like a windmill, like you have a hard time performing the movement with no weight or anything just performing the movement, then I would stick with all the exercises and fortification sessions that are around those zones. So more than likely you're going to have break down in windmill and more than likely you're going to have break down in the squat. That's what I'm guessing from what I'm hearing. And Maps Prime actually guides you in like what movements you should be primarily doing. And I would be doing mostly that and any sort of training I'm doing would be focused around mobility and stability type training. Yeah, I would definitely regress. It just sounds a lot like, you know, you really need to get in tune with body control and really like take your time with each joint.  Sal kind of talked about the threshold. So you're going to find sticking points. You're going to find areas where either you feel like, oh, I can't have access to that. So it's too loose or it's too tight and too restrictive. And then there's a pain signal. You need to pay attention to all that. Find that threshold.  Try to connect to that. So then now you can start teaching your body that you have stability. You have regained that ability to, you know, really control your body in that position. Then we build off of that. It's really not going to be advantageous for you to focus on, you know, adding load to any of these movements for a while. Okay. So are you guys saying I should do Maps Prime Pro and Maps Prime? Maps Prime, do the fortification sessions that are in the program. That's your workouts. Do the tests that are in there so you can find the best movements for you in Maps Prime. And then use Maps Prime Pro to supplement with joint specific movements. And do this for a while. Give yourself a good amount of time where you're just focusing on this because it sounds to me like it's going to take a good six months before you can get back into the more heavy traditional resistance training. And then even when you actually start back into your resistance training, I would caution you to not be really pushing the weight, right? Really I would do some stuff like Justin was suggesting earlier, like isometric stuff and really controlling the tempo, slow and control. Your focus needs to be around control, stability, perfect the form, a lot of unilateral type stuff. When you do transition out of Prime and Prime Pro movements and you start to get back to traditional weight training, I would do a lot of unilateral stuff. I would do a lot of stability, control. Don't think about loading the bar like crazy. Think more about perfecting the form. Raps literally don't matter to you at this point. It's all about quality and intent of what you're doing with your body. So if you can get into that mindset, you're going to be a lot better off. All right. So I think what I'll do is I'll probably I had already told myself this but because yes, you guys are hitting the nail on the head. It feels like I hurt myself like really bad. You know, last time I was benching, I hurt my shoulder and I couldn't move it. And I think a month later I was already benching because it felt better, but obviously I hurt it. So like Sal said, I guess I have to go longer than when it feels okay. I gave myself till 2022 before I touch your weight. I really just want to focus on my mobility and it's good to know that I can also intertwine with Prime Pro. Excellent. Thanks for calling. No problem. That's a rough one. I think people think that when the pain is gone, the problem is solved. No, you've solved the problem enough to get rid of the pain but the problem is probably there and it will cause pain again. You've got to go past that point. What's the root of it? It's a hard thing to do to really regress and pinpoint it back down to what angle, what function of movement is it specifically stemming and where that pain is stemming from? This is also why in-person training is so valuable too because we're guessing right now. It's hard to say without really seeing the way he moves. I'd be able to give him way more specific answers of like, I want you to do this exercise and this exercise based off of watching him move but having him try and articulate what he feels or thinks is wrong and then us try and troubleshoot and guess what we think is wrong is really, really difficult because when I hear really type hip flexors, I hear someone's low back while I'm on time. I default I think anterior pelvic tilt. It's close to home for me. Those are my issues. I know too that if I were to go load windmills in a position like that with an anterior pelvic tilt and rotate like that. Rotation is another one that's very much of an exposing type of a movement to any inadequacies of the kinetic chain. It's just those things in the shoulder injury all these types of things. We just need to address a lot.


Hi everybody, welcome to Barns Takeout, your daily serving of art. I'm Robin Creirin, Collections Research Coordinator at the Barns Foundation. Today we're looking at room 14 on the north wall and we're going to talk about this portrait right here. So this painting is by Tintoretto. He was a 16th century Venetian painter and he was born about 1518 or 19 in Venice and he died there in 1594. The painting was done in about the mid 16th century, we don't know the exact date. He was born, Tintoretto, was born Jacopo Robusti, but he actually went by the nickname Tintoretto, which means a little dire, and that refers to his father's profession, Tintore and Italian referring to the profession of dying. Along with Titian and Veronese, who are two artists that are also represented in our collection and which we've talked about previously in some takeouts, he was considered one of the three main big artists of the 16th century in Venetian painting. It's said that he actually spent a brief period of time in Titian's workshop who was older than him, but was dismissed because of Titian's jealousy. However, we don't know if that's actually true. After this he's also said to have largely been self-taught copying the work of other artists, especially sculpture and drawing from life, but again we don't know that this is completely true. He employed a very large workshop that included several of his children later in his life and it appears to have been collaborative in nature. This workshop practice and his ability to market himself allowed the artists to produce a vast number of commissions for Venice's churches, government buildings, private residences, and confraternities. So let's take a closer look at this painting in particular. Before we take a look at what the actual painting represents, let's talk a bit about what the nature of Venice was at the time so we can understand who this sitter might be. So social hierarchy and class distinction were a very important aspect of Renaissance Venice. Portraiture was, like this, were traditionally reserved for the nobility and were a sign of high status by virtue of the very cost of them. The nobility in Venice called themselves patricians. They constituted about five percent of the population by the end of the quattrocento, so the century prior to this. There were three legally defined groups within the city. The patricians, as I talked about, the citizens, or cittadini, and the population, or popolani. Citizens, or cittadini, as I said, were often merchants, as well as were often their noble counterparts, the patricians. In a city where water was so important to it, you can imagine that trade and mercantile activities were quite important within the city. The population, or popolani, were comprised of craftsmen, artisans, shopkeepers, and even wealthy foreigners. However, the patricians, the nobility, they were the highest rank and they were all technically politically equal to one another. All adult males were eligible to sit in the Great Council of Venice and to hold public office, but they were not equal in terms of wealth, and they could include the very rich as well as the nearly justitude. The doge, or the ruler of Venice, was elected from the ranks of the patricians. But by the mid-16th century, I said prior that the nobility were the only ones who would have had portraiture commissioned, but by the 16th century, when this was painted, even tradesmen and artisans, so members of the lowest caste, were regularly commissioning portraits of themselves. So how do we know the rank of a person? So the way that they are portrayed, or the size of the portrait, became an indication of the status of the individual. The dress of the sitter may also indicate their status. So for instance, a wealthy patrician, somebody who is very important, they may have been shown dressed in a Zimara, which is a floor-length tunic that was worn in the home, often lined with ermine fur, so a more expensive fur. They also might be shown in full length, seated, a composition that originated with portrayals of emperors and popes. We don't know who the identity of this sitter is specifically, but how can we infer from what I just talked about something about him? So the painting is a relatively good size. It's about 38 inches by 32 inches. He isn't shown in full length, but rather from just above the chest upwards. His dress is likely a Zimara, that floor-length tunic I just talked about, but it's not lined in ermine fur. It's probably lined in martin or sable fur. So if we look a little bit closer, we can see that it's a little bit darker brown in color. Let's see if we can back out a little bit. But it was still an expensive fur, and it was still something that was largely popular with the nobility. So he's probably a patrician or noble man, not the most wealthy or the highest status, but patrician nonetheless. His hair is cut short and his beard a little bit longer than you may see in some portraits is white, probably indicating his age. The composition itself follows a format that the artist and his studio used for portraiture. The sitter is portrayed in three-quarter view, so he's slightly tilted away from the viewer, but he's looking at us. He's engaging with you as a viewer. There's green drapery to the right, or on his left shoulder, behind his left shoulder. An architectural piece, kind of undefined in the middle, possibly the edge of a window, and a distant landscape over here, perhaps looking through a window. The background, which I said is comprised of three different parts, gives the picture some depth so we can understand that he's within a particular space, but it is likely a fictive space of something invented by the artist. The landscape, if it were more visible, it's somewhat hard to see right over here. Let me zoom out a little bit more. It looks like there's some clouds, possibly a mountain, hard to tell. If it were more visible, it may provide a bit of a clue to the sitter's identity based off of what is depicted there, but it also might indicate Tintoretto's workshop practice. So as I mentioned, he had a large workshop which employed assistants throughout his career, among them a number of painters from other areas of the world, some of whom were employed as landscape specialists, those who would finish that aspect of the painting after another person painted the portrait. So this type of portrait provides an interesting example of how an artist's workshop may utilize different painters to finish a work of art for its patron, but one that is still considered to be by the artist Tintoretto. I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at this painting. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thank you for watching.


Hi, it's Megan with Oxmoor Toyota. I just wanted to send this quick video greeting just to personally introduce myself. It was a pleasure speaking with you about the Toyota 4Runner. I did find two TRD Pros that we're actually getting. They'll be here sometime towards the end of May, early June. If you do have any questions in the meantime, you can either reply to this email or contact me at<PHONE_NUMBER> and I'll talk to you soon. Bye!


Thank you very much, President Gu, for that very informative speech. Next, we would like to welcome Minister Audrey Tan, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, who will present on the topic of how Taiwan achieves SDGs together. I am honored to share some thoughts around the SDGs with you and just a really quick photo. This is my office. It's in the Taiwan Social Innovation Lab in the central Taipei city, just next to the Jengue Flower Market and the Daan Park. And pictured here is the, I think, the mayor of Prague of the Czech Republic, who loves Pangolins, apparently. We just learned that they're forming a sister city who is Taipei in a couple months. And it's his cabinet, his small cabinet of people, and they each picked SDG corresponding to their work, and they were just climbing on my office. And they are the first team anywhere in the world to climb on this. But then, afterward, it became fashionable. And so people learned after the mayor of Prague to just climb with the SDG's logos is now the very famous points to check in on Facebook and social media. And anyway, this is literally my office. So everybody can just step right from the street because we tore down the walls and talk to me for 40 minutes at a time. Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. I'm there sharing food, sharing music with people, and this is also an incubating space. We work very closely with the USR projects nearby this space to co-create emergent social innovations to figure out the social norms together. So I will then share with you some experiences that I have working with universities in order to further the SDG. So we're talking very broad brushes, but all of this can be found online because everybody who worked with me and have any of the meetings that I chair, actually all the transcript is published online. So you can see as the digital minister in the past three years, I've talked with 4,000 people on over 200,000 speeches in over 1,000 meetings, each and every conversation. For example, one of these is the Jerome Gong University in Thailand and so on. I had a conversation with the Jerome Gong staff. The entire transcript is online for further study and so on. So the first case I'd like to present is the self-driving vehicles. And just a couple of years ago when I first set up an office hour, there was just random people from MIT Media Lab that suddenly showed up one day with these very 80 and looking creatures and said, these are self-driving vehicles. The minister would like to ride on one. And I'm like, is it safe? And they're like, it bumps into walls all the time. And I'm like, are you trying to do something to me? And they're like, no, this is really slow. This is slower than a person running. And so it's very safe. Even if they run into walls, nobody gets hurt. And what's the kind of model of sustainability of operation? Is it a proof of concept? They're like, we have no idea what we're trying to do with it. We want to figure it out together with the society. And this is a very different way when we go about technological innovation. Here we call it the norm-based innovation model, where we have the norm interact with the market first before having the code and the law joining in a more top-down fashion. And so when they proposed these kinds of driving tricycles, we literally interacted with the market. There was that jambu flower market nearby, and people just bought some pots of flowers and so on, orchid flowers and so on. And remember, an elderly couple just walked by because the wall is tore down. They just walked from the market to the station regional hub. And they say, Minister, what do you do? What's the shopping baskets? What's those trolleys? What's those shopping carts? And like these are not shopping carts. These are self-driving tricycles. You can step on one. You tell it where you want to go, and it drives you there. And they're like, we don't want to be driven places. We want technology to be brought to us, to follow us, because as they were shopping in the flower market, they wanted shopping baskets to stay close. They shop. They put into their hand-free shopping shop even more, and it's full, and they hear on the television that self-driving vehicles can form a fleet. And so the full cars can stay there, summon an empty one to form a fleet, and they keep shopping and keep placing into it. And isn't that nice? Well, it turns out it's not designed to do that. But because it's open source and open hardware and open data, we work with the Taipei Tech people nearby in a very nice attempt of university integration with the market and the norms. We co-created the new design so that it has two eyes. It can follow people around. It can blink. It can understand hand gestures. And most importantly, it can fit what the society expects out of self-driving vehicles. And of course, using the experiment results we had with this one-year sandbox, we now have issued the testing place for self-driving buses in Taipei City, self-driving ships on boats in the Gauchon River, and so on. But the important thing is that if you start with the norm and the market, you can encourage effective partnership without getting limited by the vision of the regulator, the entire society can co-create. And so for many prototype pilots like this, the main issue is not when it's in incubation stage. It's actually when it's in the acceleration stage in that there's often no political will to scale this innovation to the entirety of the country. Well, it turns out that we have the design called presidential hackathon, where every year, every April to July, everybody can propose such a good idea that transforms the society, and every year the president gives out five trophies. And one of the teams last year, called Water Saviour, again partnered with the National Junji University to work with these repairs people in the T-zone region. It took three months to build a chatbot that helps them to diagnose the leaking points of the water pipes. It used to take two months for a leak to appear before it's detected, but now it's just two days using this chatbot. So this is a really good idea. And there's also people from the offshore island at the Green Island who work on the telemedicine to enable local nurses to do medical treatments with the help of the broadband connected, specialized doctor from the Taiwan main island and so on. So these are all really good ideas, and they get a trophy from the president. The trophy looks something like this. There is no prize money, but there is a micro projector that's the base of the trophy. And if you turn it on, it projects the image of the president handing the trophy to the team. So it's a self-descriptive trophy, and it's very meta, but it's very useful if you're in the public sector. If you're a director at General's Day, or you prototype in Geelong, it's great, but we don't have the budget to scale it to the entire country. You just summon the president, and then they have the budget to scale it to the entire country. Or if the Ministry of Health says, oh, your telemedicine is excellent, but it actually breaks the law, we'll have to send a law of amendment, and the helicopters are owned by the Ministry of Interior. It's cross ministry, cross silo communication, very high cost, and you just summon the president, and then they go and have a meeting. There's a promise from the president and the cabinet that whatever you prototype in the past three months, we will make it into national public policy within the next 12 months. And so this political will is the actual award, and we deliver five out of the five of the previous year, and so this year there's a record number of people entering to form data collaboratives. For each incoming team, we coach them to form collaboratives that are trisectoral, meaning that at least one public servant, at least one academic or social sector, at least one private sector entrepreneur in the team so that it can be sustainable with the input of the entire society that enhances the mutual trust and reliable data availability. One of the teams that entered this year is the Airbox team. Airbox is a really good example of how even basic education teachers can engage in social responsibility. The 2000 or so measurement points here are measuring the PM 2.5, that is to say the air quality in Taiwan, and each of them is funded by just local volunteers, the basic education teachers that uses these very cheap, like less than 100 euros, Airbox is a tool to teach students what does it mean as data stewardship? What does it mean to earn some data, to answer for request of data? What does it mean for data quality? And so with more than 2000 measurement points that form a data coalition called Airbox, they have massive bargaining power compared to the environment ministry because at the time the environment ministry only had 87 measurement points and the civil society has 2000. And of course people are trusting the social sector's number because they're closer to us than the environment ministry's number. And in Taiwan, because they were completely free and open jurisdiction, we say we cannot beat them, but we have a data coalition who said we would allow the environment ministry to join our program using the civil IoT program, but we want you to set up our airboxes using our protocol joining in our distributed ledgers in these places, which are industrial parks or industrial areas, and these are private property, so they cannot break and enter and install them. But it turns out that we own the lamp in the industrial parks. They're airboxes on the lamps and completing the picture of what it means for people to measure the air quality together and people can trust each other because of distributed ledgers that people cannot modify each other's numbers. That's the blockchain property. And so this is open source and open hardware to have people around the world just downloading the software and building Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The open hardware that joins the Taiwan-initiated airbox and this year they just entered an idea of what they call water box that does the same, but actually just measures water quality in agricultural lands so that when the industrial manufacturers on agricultural land pollute the waterways, the Ministry of Economy can directly cut the electricity and cut the water supply for those polluting industrial plants. And they of course always say, no, it's the upstream that's polluting, it's not us. Well, then they are motivated to buy some waterboxes and then install it in their waterways. So how do we make sure that the entire society is okay with those new ideas that transform the society and each one has to correspond to a specific sustainable development target? Well, we use a new voting method and this is the last social innovation I would like to share with you in this talk. The quadratic voting is a new application of economic theory when it comes to social choice. In Taiwan, we have a national innovation platform called JOIN.gov.tw and the JOIN platform has more than 10 million unique visitors. Considering Taiwan is 23 million people, it's a lot of people and each of these visitors gets 99 points that can be spent on more than 130 projects and when you really like this idea you can vote one vote and that will cause you one point or if you really looked like this idea for example using machine learning to detect marine debris on the ocean before it hits the shores, it's a really good idea. You like to give it two votes and that's going to cause you four points and so on and so it's quadratic and ensure that the increasing amount of votes, the marginal cost is the same as the marginal return. So it's quadratic and because of that if you really like some idea maybe you will vote nine votes to it but still you cannot vote 10 because everybody has 99 so you still have 18 and nobody wants to squander their votes so they will look into something else and say oh this is what's maybe four points and then you still have two and then you are motivated to learn about two more sustainable goals for example to combat illicit financial flow like Panama paper somebody builds a AI to detect illicit financial flow and show companies entirely private data and sorry public data and they predicts really well and so it's certainly worse more than one so maybe people look at what they voted and they think actually this is worth more and so they would take some votes out of this one and maybe they do a seven and seven and so what this does is that using mechanism design we encourage people to learn far more about sustainable development than if they are mobilized to vote on one project only and the end result is that everybody who voted who just averaged five or six projects all of them feel that they have won when the top 20 gets announced gets incubated because if you only vote for one likely half of the people will feel they have lost that's what we see in national elections and referendums but if people express their social choice their private personal social choice in a way that contributes to the global understanding of the global goals and everybody wins and so whenever we have a quadratic voting like this it always ends in this kind of selection that makes everybody a little bit heavier and that everybody can learn that actually there's only a few divisive statements that divides the society there's only a few issues that people genuinely feel an ideological split or ideological difference otherwise people can see through this visualization platform called POLIS that actually most of their friends and families are similar when it comes to public choices of what to do and that is what sustainability goals means it means that reinforces the idea that economic, social and environment, social and business sectors all work on each other's bottom lines but if you look at a 10 year, 20 year horizon we actually reinforce each other and so this is a real case that we helped in voting green, Kentucky, USA everybody there using this new way of voting thought the arts are important what we had was science, technology, engineering, mathematics but actually it's not enough the art teachers feel that it should be steamed because the art guides the inspiration for the STEM education and so what we're seeing here is that something no matter whether they identify as Republican or Democrats or agree and the mayor can just implement this and this is a role of higher education to work as a kind of brain trust and think tank for the local population to figure out what people truly want without being derided or by the institutional and social media that over focus is on the divisive statements and reinforces the idea of a polity instead of a divisiveness and so as a final conclusion I would like to share with you my job description three years ago when I was in the competition ministry the HR people asked me to write a job description to explain what kind of innovation can join the social business environmental and governance powers together and I'm like okay there's a new thing called the sustainable goals that was just announced in 2015, agreed by everybody on the planet and so my way is just 1718 reliable data 1717 effective ownership and 1706 open innovation and they're like ministering nobody by head you have to write something in plain language so that people have some intuition of those sustainable targets and so I just write a poem, a prayer which is my job description I'll read it to you now when we see the internet of things let's make it an internet of beings when we see virtual reality let's make a shared reality when we see machine learning let's make it collaborative learning when we see user experience let's make it about human experience and whenever we hear that a singularity is near there's always remember the plurality is here, thank you very much I was saying that there's not enough time but person who was saying you know two minutes give it to two minutes then projector please would you like to switch to my okay and I'll I guess I stand up I really learned a lot from all of your contributions and stories and if you remember at the very beginning President Goole asked a question because I dropped out of junior high school when I was 15 years old what can university do to me what is higher education work for a home schooler I would like to take two minutes to briefly answer that question the reason I dropped out of junior high school is because I discovered a website back then and it's called archive and it's still around which is amazing considering it's one of the very few website I was around in the very beginning of the world web that's your alma mater Cornell yes and so Cornell really contributed to social responsibility by allowing anyone with a dial-up internet at the time because I'm interested in computer science to have the latest access to all the pre-prints using open access there was no word of open access back then just a pre-print server so that people can post their pre-peer review journals articles for people to write feedback on and so I just took a look at quite a few papers there I made my science fear project working on computational linguistics and I started writing to the papers that I cite and none of the professors know that I'm only 14 years old or 15 years old and so they all wrote back and so we started contributing two science together and so I went to my principal at the time principal Du Weiping and she said okay even you want the science fear you have a guarantee by a top to senior high school you still have to study for and get a GRE a good score and maybe you can participate in a postdoc position in your favorite professor's lab and I told the principal the professor just wrote back and we're actually working on science together already so what is the point of senior high school education and she looked at the email printouts look at archive.org which is very new to her at the time and she thought for one minute and then she said tomorrow on you don't have to go to school anymore and so I dropped out with the full blessing of my teachers and the principal and then of course I learned bioinformatics from bio archive psychology from psychology archive legal theory from the law archive and all the preprint open access service and so to my mind all these are like constellations you know in the sky in a night sky they represent the humanities collective history of organizing knowledge in ways that are understandable in each culture and each traditions and each culture may indeed have different names of constellations but for me someone who really want to understand why people trust each other so quickly on the internet with trust why people start hating on each other so quickly on the internet with hate this kind of constellation is only useful to me if they are offered in an open access format so that I can form my own constellation out of existing stars in the night sky regardless of which majors which departments or which archives preprint service they are hosted on and so this cross-disciplinary research path I think guides my vision of a purely horizontal leadership that leads to the plurality and so it's obvious that the plurality is in full force here that all of us understand the idea of co-creation with the community and so I would like to highlight two things the first is that I'm still contributing back to science and so all my work is actually published still on social archive so even though I'm not ostensibly having a university degree I think by democratizing academia everybody should be able to contribute to open access and to open science and that's the first thing to say and the second thing is that plurality is only the beginning it is just as respecting the different cultures but the highest form of freedom is to be able to migrate to a different culture from the culture of academia to the culture of the local community from the culture like in Taiwan of the eastern side of indigenous nations the Austronesian culture to the more westernized western side of the culture the ability to travel through cultures to see people's stories with a different set of eyes liberates us from our original cultures and re-embuses the meaning of sustainable development which is after a global affair and so I'd like to share with you one small poem that I just composed last week that talks about this it goes like this whirling ocean and beautiful islands has made a transcultural republic of citizens thank you so much thank you thank you very much minister we would now like to present a block of appreciation to today's participating universities we would like to invite universities to come up one at a time yes okay I want to you know in a one sentence when I say as a tradition this evening I'm going to drink as much as I could then with the permission of my wife so you guys have to thank her for allowing me to do this okay we would like to invite the universities to come up one at a time to be presented with a block of appreciation

This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Plan on paying less for the coverage you need with Farm Bureau Health Plans. Get a quote today at FBHP.com. I'm Mike Keith and backed by popular demand in the Snickers Hot Seats. Coach Dave McGinnis from Titans Radio and a man who has just announced that he has entered the transfer portal. It is Rhett Bryan. Wow. Yeah. That's news to me. Where am I going? You're the Cardinals Network. Oh, wow. Dave Pash. Hi, Dave. I wanted to ask you about that, though, because Signing Day has just finished and apparently recruiting never ends now. Doesn't seem to. Would you be a college coach today?  Oh, no. Absolutely not. Yeah. Now, the thing about it is when I first started my coaching career, the thing about the allure of the National Football League, of course, clearly is the level of competition as high as you can get. But back in the day, the pay discrepancy between what you were making as an assistant in college and what you could make in the National Football League was pretty great. And the other thing that was really attractive was the National Football League had a blanket retirement package. Everybody was on the same retire, and it was outstanding. And so, you know, but you wanted to, you wanted to work at the highest level. Nowadays, I mean, you start looking at salaries now, especially in Power Five schools for assistant coaches. It's way up there. Sometimes even supersedes what's being paid in the National Football League. But the recruiting part of it that you are bringing up, that's brutal. It never stops. Never stops. Never. It's brutal. And you're having to recruit your own guys constantly.  You know, recruiting was different then. You used to sign a national letter and you were done. And that was it. And then you had your guys for three or four years or sometimes five years. It has gotten, and I think all three of us probably have people that we know now that are coaching in Power Five schools that they will tell you that the recruiting part of it, the consistency, I mean, the constancy of that wears them out. You were part of it though, when you could sign national letters with different teams in different conferences. Absolutely correct. Absolutely correct. Did you ever have a crazy win like that where a guy had signed two or three national letters and you didn't know exactly where he was going to show up? Mike, I recruited in the Southwest Conference, so you know the answers yesterday. Well, but you could only sign one per conference. Yeah. But the Southwest Conference, it's like the Southeastern Conference. But one of those players, so you would sign yours to you, but then other schools in the country would still be coming after them. So absolutely yes. Wow. It'll all be in the book. When are you going to do the book for real? When I'm done with everything, with everything. When I'm done. But I mean, our idea with Titans Radio is that you're never done, that you'll just go and tell. Well, I would thank you for that. But when I finally finished, because I'm going to tell complete unabashed truth, unabashed truth. And you can't do that if you still want to be within the confines of what you're doing. And I wouldn't be that disrespectful to do it while I was still very active doing what I'm doing. But I've got a lot of notes. I'll let you and Rhett read them sometime. I would. You hear a lot of the stories. The kids say the receipts have been kept. Well, you, I've told you guys a lot of the stories and I enjoyed doing that because you're both very interested. And sometimes you look at me like, Coach Mack, what in the world? But they're all true. Well, I mean, from your time as a Southwest Conference player to being a college coach, to being with those crazy bears and those guys were way out there. And you were with Ditka. Yes. I mean, I'm down for any Mike Ditka story I can ever hear. You love Mike Ditka stories. I love Mike Ditka stories. You really do. And I love telling them to you. Because I think the thing about Mike Ditka that and Rhett can speak to this too. Mike Ditka is a separate category of human beings. Like he was in the movie, kicking and screaming with Will Ferrell. Yes, he was. And there's some stuff that happens in the movie. And you're like, you shouldn't say that. You shouldn't do. But because it's Ditka, it's OK. Well, it's it's not that it's OK as much as it is. It's Ditka. So because it's Ditka, it's like that's a separate category. It's like, well, it's Ditka. You know, Ditka does that. I mean, I'm fascinated by Mike Ditka. Well, he was a fascinating and he is a fascinating person.  Oh, gosh. And the persona of him and just and just and just just the swag that he carried with himself with just being Mike Ditka was so much fun, was so much fun to be around. But he, if you were one of his people, he was so good to him.  And it's so and there was a real dichotomy between his public persona sometimes and then what he really was because as as as big a personality as he was, Mike, I promise you, his heart was was huge. He took care of so many people and so many things way on the down low that nobody would ever know. And it was it was pretty amazing to be around. I'm fascinated by Mike Ditka. I have to I have every time he talks about Mike Ditka. I think about the one time that we had an interaction with Mike Ditka in the preseason in Chicago. And you remember, do you remember this when this happened? I don't. OK, so Larry Stone, the godfather of Titans Radio would sometimes do this thing to me when we were on the road. Hey, give me the biggest name in the building. I want him for pregame. No pressure. Oh, sure. Whatever. You know, sometimes I would bring him Commissioner Tagliabue and we would get Commissioner Goodell. Well, this was I think I guess this was after he had been released from his duties in New Orleans. This is early 2000s and we were playing them in the preseason. And so I see him, I ask him, he said, sure, kid, great, we'll do that. No problem. And I said, we can record any time that way. We know we're not bothering you with whatever you're doing today. And Larry is in there preparing broadcast equipment set up. And I said, Larry Stone, I'd like you to meet Mike Ditka. And we had him on pregame. I mean, where was I? Maybe you were out. I don't know. Maybe you were swimming in the lake out there. I don't know. But I mean, this happened. I know it happened, but I don't I was to see Larry.  He was like, oh, my. But you know, he looked like a bear. That's the first time I'd ever met the man. And I was like, my Lord, he was a prototypical tight end in the 60s. Well, but he would be a great tight end today coming out of. Absolutely. I mean, what he could do. It's like you talk about Reggie White. Would Reggie White be a great player today? Yes. Would Jim Brown be a great running back today? Yes. Mike Ditka would be the best tight end in the league today. Yes, it's what Coach Max says about Danico Autry. Danico Autry, he says, can play could have played any time, any era in the NFL. Yeah, some of those guys are. But Coach Ditka was is special. I'll say one more thing about this. I'm most fascinated by him with his relationship with Tom Landry when he went to the Cowboys as a player and a coach, because from the outside, that doesn't make any sense. Mike Ditka doesn't seem to be somebody who would have fit with Tom Landry in that era. And yet you say he held Tom Landry in the absolute highest regard among people that you ever heard him mention the highest regard.  And and and at times. You understand that Mike Ditka is, as I say, at the at the at the base is just is just a really, really good human being. But, you know, there's certain times in all of our lives where we need a little bit stronger of a guiding force in somebody. And that's that that was Tom Landry at the time. Think about this, Mike. Mike Ditka sat down and hand wrote a letter when he was working for Tom Landry. To George Hallis, because, you know, they didn't end up on great when he traded him to Philadelphia, because, you know, Mike Ditka, remember in his in his contract negotiations, it said that Hallis, you know, threw around nickels like they were manhole covers. Right. You know, and so it was it was an acrimonious split. But he wrote a hand wrote a letter to George Hallis saying. A lot of things as far as about, you know, at his at his core, he would always be a bear. And if he ever had a chance, he would love to come back as the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Now, think about that. You know, it wasn't one of these, of course, in the age that we live in now. But a handwritten letter just expressing his true feelings. And then George Hallis hired him. And Mike was never a coordinator. He was a special teams coordinator as a tight end coach. Just think about think just think about George Hallis, the intuition that he had to into the person and what he needed to resurrect the bears.  Yes, because Hallis's whole thing was the bears have to get back to being the bears. That was it. That was it. The bears had to get back to being the bears. And Mike Ditka brought the bears back on an international scale during that period of time. And people always ask me what was like being there. And it was like football Camelot. But those I mean, those two are really giants in our profession and for them to come together like that. And for George Hallis to have to have the intuition and to know that regardless, I can I can put hard feelings aside. Here's what's best for the franchise right now. So when you were with the bears in the 80s, how many times did you see offensive players called for off sides? Was it more than last weekend? Well, you know, hello. No, it was welcome back to the future, coach. Well, it was first of all, I think people back then knew how to line up on side. All right, but so. But you were right, though. Last week, I know what you said last week on the broadcast of the broadcast was 100 percent true, because as soon as something like that as soon as we also it was miraculous, wasn't it? We also saw it. No, you were 100 percent correct. And we also saw it with with the Eagles with the Tush push with the, you know, Kelsey moving the ball forward because he had been warned about that, which is again, you know, on off sides and off sides. So what you said on the on the broadcast was 100 percent true. OK, so last week on the OTP, we had a little bit of a discussion. It was great. And it may have gotten a little. I don't think it was really heated, but yeah, it was. And you know what? It was animated. Well, it was. It was. We never get mad. But we just get we both want to be right. But Kaderious Tony being called off sides for Kansas City. In the game against Buffalo with a minute and 12 to go, negated a touchdown for Kansas City that would have won the game. It was not on the last play of the game. Nobody knew it was going to be a touchdown. I totally get that. Coach made the point and totally contradicted himself from dinner, which Rhett would back up because he was at dinner. Rhett was Rhett. Then he contradicted himself for dinner. Rhett Rhett at the time. You did was not paying attention to what we were talking.  But he's he's having watching Frank right out the window. It was Frank right doing out the window. We have this game where I play. This is devolving. Yeah. We have this game that I started last year at the Senior Bowl where I will look at very poorly adapted editions of a doppelganger. Like we said, there's a guy that looks like Mel Blunt racing to practice here at the Senior Bowl. And he looks up and he sees this guy. He goes, he starts laughing. And so at dinner in Miami, I said, well, it's nice to see Frank Reich out here having a nice seafood dinner with his family out there through the paint glass window. And it kind of looked like Frank right? It's uncanny how Rhett can see somebody and just conjure up somebody in his mind because he's not right. That looks just like that's why he's in the transfer port. I was with Matt one day and he was picking up his dry cleaning. I said, good to see Jimmy Ray came to pick up his dry cleaning today. He had a red hat on kind of look like a 49 or so. All right, so we're going to stop that right now. It's funny, we're going to stop that right now. So we're watching the Kansas City Buffalo game. Cadarius Tony lines up off sides. My thing is, how do you call that in that instance? And it turns out that it was the first time in nearly 30 years a Kansas City offensive player had been called for off sides. The commissioner jumped and he was off sides. He was and he didn't look to the official properly. And it's because Cadarius Tony is there is Tony. You believe what you read? He, you know, he didn't he did. He was he was off sides. My thing was I was stunned that they called that because that is a call that literally had not happened to the Kansas City Chiefs in nearly 30 years. Coach Mack, after agreeing with me at dinner, which he pointed out that I paid for, then comes back when there's no dinner involved and says, oh, no, he was off sides. It was the correct call. So he totally back tracks. I still contended that I was stunned that you would start calling that with a minute, 12 left in a game on national television. And then last weekend, Rhett, Brian, what happened? Games all over the National Football League, offensive players are called for off sides. I was taking a little bit of how many because it was several. It was was one in our game. Yeah, it was a Christmas miracle. So we're so now we're going to call everything. Is that what's going to happen now? We're going to start calling. Here's here's one thing that checks in the backcourt. Here's one thing that you know about me in officiating, especially this year. I can't tell you what they're going to call. I cannot tell you what they're going to call now. It is so uneven across the board, but it was a Christmas miracle that all of a sudden it's revealed. But but Mac, in all seriousness, to follow Mike up, is it going to be one of those things where it's like the points of emphasis that the officiating crews do in the preseason and then it kind of evens out. Before he answers, if you call it in the preseason, great. I think it's great, but you're calling it in December. I understand. But these things, Edmund flow, sometimes, do they not? Well, yeah, I mean, I think you're right. I mean, you're not just like he was offside. Somebody tweeted like if they do this in a Super Bowl, somebody's going to lose their mind. I mean, that's my point. I mean, so somebody may lose the game. Well, and the commissioner comes out as I just can't believe that they would get angry about a correct call. It's like you're going to call this now. We're going to start, you know, away. I can't believe you wouldn't get angry about lots of incorrect calls. But do you do you think that? And again, this is for the OT people that there was a directive saying, hey, start looking for this after that. Do I think there was a directive? Or do I think somebody said, you know, we might want to do. We might want to prove that we know to call that. I don't think there was a directive because either or because somebody would have gotten a hold of a directive. Somebody said something. Somebody said something. Yes, they did. I would agree with that. Yeah, I would be looking for this a little more frequently. Somebody said something. And to your point, it was probably so that this isn't a glaring red light on top of the head of this one call. Let's start looking for it a little bit. Oh, yeah. That's what happened. Yeah. So what they did is water it down a little bit. Last weekend, they normalized the call. There you go. From the game the week before. But it's still like, really? That's it's exactly what I loved. What Mike Vrable did with the Trey Avery pass interference calls. Hey, I thought his his what he said about it in the Wednesday press conference was pretty brilliant. The first one he clearly interfered. And he said interference. He broke on the ball too early and he did. I mean, he was in great position and he but he did interfere with the guy. No question about the second one. He said, what did he say? He played the technique perfectly. Or I mean, he just because I mean, I went back and watch that again. I can't figure out what that official what did I say on the broadcast about that call? I said, it's professional malpractice. I stood and the other official went to him. Yes, he did and appeared to be doing the old. Are you sure what you know? I can't figure out what he saw. That that's the part of it to me in certain cases. And Vrable talks about this a lot. And I think it's a great point that he makes to his players. He says the officials are going to look for certain tales tales that lead them to make certain calls.  But in that case, I I couldn't even from behind, I couldn't figure out what he thought he saw. Well, you know why you couldn't because he didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't anyway. Looked like good coverage. It was good coverage. And that's why I put it in the category of professional malpractice. That's as nice as I can say it. How about you, Red? The second one. I couldn't understand it when we kept watching the replay in the booth. I'm like, hey, by the way, what about you on the Elijah Molden return? I was excited waving in the background. Yeah. Bye. Bye. He's gone. So we see that and I'm like, who's hand is that? It's like you're doing a puppet show up there. You're just going by by Felicia. That was that was I knew as soon as he had, I'm like, he's gone. He's gone. It's over. That was great. It's also great to have game on with Duncan. That's right. Titans fans grab a coffee and kick off the action whether that's drinking a cup of coffee on the way to the game or grabbing one to go before watching the game at home. Duncan is always there to help you get your game on. Just like the pros, we need to be at our best come game time, which is why Duncan is the most important part of your game day ritual because it's always the best call for football. America runs on Duncan. You know, what I love about the Duncan is when we start traveling as a group, you know, once we start going to these things, we're going to go to once the season is over with you, senior bowl. Oh, yeah.  Thank you. And we always have you take our orders. And then when we get in the car, it's it's like a feast. Well, that's the idea is that your stuff is ready. And it's wonderful. It is wonderful. And you rack up points and you get free beverages and free sandwiches. I mean, there's all kinds of free. It's all free. It's all free for me because you buy it. That's fair. It is fair. That's fair. It's totally fair. Injuries have hit the Titans very hard. They have. And there are guys going on injured reserve. There are guys being signed from other teams. There are guys being called up from the practice squad. It's it's a difficult time, obviously, because for the first time since 2015, the Titans are out of the playoff race. Yes, with multiple weeks left in the season. Mike Vrable said that his message to the team is we're taking it one day at a time. We're going to prepare hard every single day. But from a coaching standpoint, when you're trying to motivate a ball club and you also are in a position where you don't exactly know who you're going to have. What's the biggest challenge? Well, that's a double-edged sword, it really is. Because first of all, it doesn't really matter where you are during your season. You're always going to try to improve your roster from the from the bottom up. You know, we've talked about that a lot. And of course, you're always you're always chumming or churning the bottom of your roster. That's going to happen. But when you're getting ready to play a ball game and and and and. Regardless of what the outcome of the game is, you want to win the game. And so you want to do everything that you can to prepare it. The thing and I've been in this situation before as a head coach.  You're still playing for your job, either where you are or where you may be because of the way we just talked through talking about the transfer portal in collegiate football. Well, they're free agency in the National Football League.  Every snap you ever take in the National Football League. And so it is.   And the professional pride of it has to kick in because we all know it's it's extremely it's it's a for what we all do to be employed in the National Football League is really is really not a right of anybody. It's a privilege to be able to do this. And so when you've got the chance, you've got to put everything out there regardless, regardless of what the external rewards all of a sudden look like it. You've got to internalize this a lot as a player and even as a coach during these times. You're the greatest example of that, though. Your last game as a head coach was a famous win where you you came from behind to beat Minnesota. And I mean, everybody knows that game very well and remembers that down the stretch. Didn't you get invited to Green Bay the next week for the playoff game? And yeah, it was it was Josh McCown to Nathan Poole in the end. We had no we had the Cardinals.  We were down to kind of. But my message during the week, I'm glad you brought that up, was the same thing. Hey, nobody probably even is looking at whether you're going to win this game or not. And I'm not going to say nobody cares because we all have people that care about us. But you care. I care. We care. So let's just let's go do this just like we've always done this. And we had to get an onside. Look, we had Nathan Poole from Marshall as our receiver. They had Randy Moss. I don't know if, you know, he went to Marshall, too. Yeah, if there's any kind of a difference. But anyway, probably so. They were they were they were a really good football team and we weren't.  And some of them probably weren't going to be there. But just that feeling that that you had come together and had worked through all of that. But it comes from, first of all, you would be honest with yourself and then being able to look at looking the eyes of your teammates and your coaches and be honest with each other.  But if if the force out rule, the force out rule was in effect.  But Nathan Poole caught it in the corner of the end zone fourth and fourth and about 17. Josh McCown ran around, you know, made about six people miss and just flung it up to Nathan Poole. And he was forced out. And then they came back and there was a force out rule at the time. And so they said, you know, touchdown Cardinals.  It's still a memory that they all go, Coach Mac. That was one of the greatest feelings in the world. And yes, I was invited, you know, Mike Sherman was the head coach of the Packers, the Packers, they had played they played the end of the game because if the if Minnesota had beaten us, well, then Minnesota was going to play off the Packers were out. The Packers game finished a little before they won their ball game.  And all of a sudden they put it on the all the big boards and everybody stayed in Lambo field to watch it, to watch the end of it. And when it ended, I mean, finally, when I got into the after the press conference, got into the coach's locker room, Mark Hatley was the GM and Mike Sherman was the head coach. They were on the phone. Coach Mac, this is most this is fabulous. The place went wild. Thank you so much. We want to invite you to the playoff game. And I said, you know what? I probably won't be able to come. I said, how about bringing Nathan Poole to the and they went, you think he had come? I said, Carl Paul Jensen, who's a PR director, let's make that work. So they brought Nathan Poole to the playoff game. He's like the Pope waving everybody out. It was awesome. And I got and I got I got for for months afterwards, cheese baskets, you know, from from the Green Bay fans. Thank you, Coach Mac. Thank you for the playoff game. So I had a lot of cheese baskets I could hand out every time we go back there. He's he's wildly popular. I mean, I call him the mayor of everywhere, but that's really true in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Green Bay fans are legacy fans. Now, they know they know ball. And so they hate Coach Mac. Great win over the Vikings. I mean, that was a long time ago. That's awesome. Will Leviss going to try to play. I mean, that's I think that tells you all you need to know about Will Leviss. I don't know if he's going to be able to play or not, but he's trying like heck to play. It's clear if it wasn't before, it's clear. He loves to play ball. He loves it.   He I could see it in his facial expression and his eyes darting back and forth as his teammates are coming out of the locker room and getting ready to go through stretching individual because nobody would blame anybody if he didn't play. Oh, no, absolutely not. But he wants to play. And that's a that love of it is a huge reason why the Titans wanted him. Well, absolutely. And the other thing is you can just tell the way he approaches this. He understands what a great opportunity this is for him. Because let's go back to the draft that we all do very deeply and him sitting in that green room throughout the whole first round and then everybody, you know, that wherever he went, when he got the opportunity, he wasn't going to let it go. You could you could see it in him. I've seen enough. I've seen enough young players and you could just you could see it in him. And so that that's what we've seen. That's what we've seen now. So you're 100 percent. He you're going to have to you're going to have to hold him back to keep him out of any game. How tough is that going to be for Mike Varebel and Rand Carrathon if they get to Saturday night and he's on the fence? He could probably play. What do you do? Well, first of all, they're going to do what's in his best interest. Sure. Physically, that's what they're going to do. And so that that overrides everything. And then sometimes and sometimes I've done it as a coach. I've done it as a head coach. Sometimes you have to protect the players from themselves because they all want to play. I had a guy like that that I mean, I thought was literally going to come across a desk one time and strangle me and I knew he could was Kyle Vandenbosch. Yeah. When I told him, look, I'm not playing you right now because you need and he I mean the the death stare that he gave me and he liked me a lot. I thought he does because we ask him. OK, good. I'm glad I'm glad you quantified that. But you know, we're taking that I'd taken a chance and stood on the table for him in the draft room and he knew that and then had worked through two ACL surgeries with him and all of that stuff. But those kind of guys. It means everything to him. And not only to themselves, they don't let their teammates down. They don't want to let their teammates down. And that that is that's important. I mean, Will Levis did the same thing at Kentucky when he had that when he had the toe. And I think they told him don't play. You know, you can. But we would recommend you don't matter. And and he played right. So you're correct in saying that it's it's going to be but they will they will protect him from himself.

Sunday is supposed Christmas Eve is supposed to be lovely at Nissan Stadium. Mike, it is quite the contrast from Christmas Eve versus the Texans one year ago. We had a rolling blackouts of power. Yeah, we started that game late. We started to one hour late. Wow. And it was the coldest recorded game at Nissan Stadium. I think it was 22, 23.  So the forecast right now says partly cloudy and a high of 68 degrees. Sixty three at kickoff. That's a great way to start Christmas Eve day. You a dog on, right? It is as you go from there, you go to church or have a meal, whatever you want to do, open a gift or two, go to the family celebration, right, put out the cookies and milk, wait for Santa. I mean, or if you're like me, when you get home from the game, marinate the steaks and get ready to grill is that Christmas Day? I'm going to go on Christmas Day. I sure am. Because you got the weather. Got the weather. Red's a grill master anyway. He really is. He is a grill master. He has shared some of those things that he has he has prepared on the grill with us. Delicious. It is New York strip steaks on Christmas Day. I think I'm going to go purchase some kind of seafood, maybe do surf and turf. Wow. Yep. I'll tell you what else is really is really good that I'm noticing here that's really high is the shoe game of my two partners here. If you look, you look over here, Mike Keith, those are some sweet, sweet, all white, Nike kicks and then rent over here. I mean, this this is outstanding. Plus what he does and then plus he got a little dog on his socks. You know, I'm looking at his socks. He's got a little dog on a sock. I'm I'm impressed with my partners here. Thank you, Coach. You're welcome. I'm it's the holiday season. I'm a former head coach. I notice details. It's time to go. Don't you think? Whatever you say, sir. I think it's time to go for for Dave McGinnis and Rhett Brian. I'm Mike Keith. Thank you for joining us for the O T.
