So this afternoon here at officers and leaders conference here at Arkansas Farm Bureau American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall came in to town and he gave Senator John Boseman the Golden Plow Award, which is an award that the American Farm Bureau gives out to folks across the country who are an advocate for agriculture and a champion for agriculture. And we recognize the statesmen or the leaders of in the area of agriculture And we recognize them for their hard work. The Golden Plow is a symbol. It's an old timey plow that used to be pulled by a mule that broke the ground to be able to plant a crop. And we look at that it symbolizes the ground that these leaders and statesmen are breaking in Congress to be able to plant the seeds of our policy to grow policy or law that benefits rural American farmers and ranchers. So John Boseman has just been a great senator for agriculture and great senator for Arkansas. You know in the Arkansas Farm Bureau mission the first word is to advocate for agriculture and rural development and when you look up the word advocate in the dictionary the word champion is also there and that's what we think of when we think of John Boseman and the senator and his work for Arkansas and in agriculture. Time and time again we've we go to him and his staff in Washington, DC and he does a great job for us, and he's helpful and he understands agriculture, he understands our issues and he's right there in the mix and he's just a he's just a powerful champion for us. But it's important for us to recognize our friends when they're out there working hard for us. Senator Boseman is a champion and in his position of serving on the agriculture committee as ranking member and he he's always open to listening to our staff at the American Farm Bureau talk about the issues that we see around and in agriculture and then of course he has his ear toned back to his constituents in his state to see if he hears the same things. But we can't say enough good things about Senator Boseman. He has served agriculture well not just in this state but all across America.

What's going on everyone? I got a brand new movie review for you guys today and today we're discussing Netflix's new film Mowgli. Mowgli, the legend of the jungle, whatever you're gonna say. So this is a very interesting film that I've had my eye on for quite a while. This film was announced right at the exact time this jungle book came out, or around the same time they were starting to film. And while this one came out first and it came out to appraisal, I really like this film. I really like this film.  I like the jungle book. It's one of the things I grew up with. So I really had a blast with this, and I was always looking forward to what Andy Serkis was going to do. Yes, because Andy Serkis directed this film. He's a mocap master, and we all know this. So wondering what his mocap was going to do with the jungle book live action was something that always intrigued me. Then it went dark. We knew a film, we knew it got done, but where'd the film go? Well it turns out Warner Brothers had ended up marketing a little bit, and then they ended up just selling it to Netflix, which again, surprising. And usually when that happens you're like, oh, that film might not be that good. Okay, let's see where this goes. I'm actually here to say I actually quite enjoyed Mowgli. I think Mowgli, Legend of the Jungle Mowgli, whatever you want to call it, is actually a pretty solid film. And in a lot of ways, I really like this film. I think it's a good film that's masterfully, if not greatly directed by Andy Serkis. I think Andy Serkis is an outstanding director. As he breathed last year, he did a fantastic job directing that film, but seeing on a bigger scale and a bigger budget, this film, the way that he directs, the way that he gets all the camera angles, and the way that he is able to be a part of the mocap, because he is, he does the mocap for blue. He's doing the voice of blue as well. And being able to direct at the same time, that's a tough thing to do. But he got every single actor to be in this and do it so well and do the mocap and do the voice. And he really stylized this film with his own stamp where it doesn't feel like any other director stamp. It feels like a new director coming to his own. It was a big thing for me and a kind of a big worry because it very much is different than this Jungle Book. There's no singing, there's no fun, there's no bare necessities in here. No, this is a darker take on the Jungle Book. This is very much more like the original novel and not no songs, which lead to not really fun. This is kind of an adventure film. In this sense also an epic, which I actually think it could have become an epic if it overcame a couple steps that I think it does. And this is where I kind of get to my negatives. I think the film should have been longer. Peerly honest, I think the film should have been longer. There are certain elements and certain story structures where I feel like it should have gone about more. And I even go as far to say this, I feel like this film should have been a miniseries. Like it felt like it was book structure chapter one, chapter two, chapter three, chapter four, even though it doesn't say that. And I think it should have gone more upon that. I wanted more from it. And by the end, the film just felt anti-climatic when it ended.  Okay then. Still had fun with it, but that's how we're gonna end it. Okay then. I mean, that's such a small minor gripe of mine for someone who still really enjoyed the film. The cinematography is beautiful. The CGI at times, when it's far away, your eye kind of looks a little bit weird towards it, but when it gets up close on those animals, it is insanely amazing. Again, it's that motion capture performance that Andy Circus is so well known for. And even when it's far back, you still see the animals. They still look good. It's not like they look horrendously bad, but the big praise for that CGI is when it's right up in their face. Like I said, with Baloo, it looked like it wasn't weird that a bear was talking. It looked real. The Viagra played by Christian Bale, actually. You feel it. And Bale's voice, all the voice actors in here, really there was only one noticeable one. That was Kate Blanchett because her voice is so distinct, but every single other voice actor really blended in. And by the end of the film, I actually had to look at the credits and be like, oh, that's who played that character. Oh, that's who played that character. And I just think they all blended in so well. Each person was very casted specifically for these voice roles. And again, I think the big standoff of the whole thing was either Christian Bale or Andy Serkis as Baloo. Because Baloo really is one of my favorite characters in all of the Jungle Book movies. And it extends even here. I wanted more of him. I love their relationship. And I even love the relationship that he has with Viagra. I'm probably saying these names wrong. Trust me, I'm horrible with names, but Mowgli was a pretty good surprise. Kid Actor is good. Even though it's a little bit anti-climatic, I think Andy Serkis greatly directed this film. And I can't wait to see what the guy directs next. The motion capture is superb. The CGI is really good. And it has a great look and feel to it. Even though the film, again, feels a little bit anti-climatic and I think it could have been even longer or should have extended to a miniseries. I think Netflix was actually in the right to grab this. And I understand why Warner Brothers sold it to them. Again, it's not because it's a bad film. It's a good movie. But this is a hard film to market. It's not for families. I can't recommend that you take your five-year-old to go watch this or watch it on Netflix because you're having a great time. No, it's a dark movie and it's intense at times and a little bit scary. So if you're thinking about watching this with your kids, maybe you might want to watch it first, then take the decision up to your choice. It definitely is. Like this film was a little bit darker than I thought it was going to be like the other Jungle Book, John Favreau's. But this one's also dark. So keep that in mind when you guys do watch this. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this one. I enjoyed it. So with all that said, I'm going to give Mowgli a B. Guys, let me know what your guys thoughts are on Mowgli.

Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot and we're gonna be going around and trying more of the food and wine Festival a lot of things that I haven't got to try yet And then also I want to revisit some of the things that I did get to try and give you guys kind of a my Favorites list so you guys know what are the things that I actually like when it comes to food and wine festival And we're also gonna ride some rides Maybe try to catch a show or two and just have a beautiful Epcot kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this Today is August 3rd So the festival has been going on for a couple weeks now And this is gonna be my second video for the food and wine festival the first video We got to try so many different food and wine menu items I think we tried 35 and today We're gonna be focusing on some things that I didn't get to try and then also like I said ranking and giving you guys a favorite list of mine It is also Extremely hot out today. It says 93 degrees, but it feels like it's 102 So I got a nice little cloth here to kind of keep me dry and we're gonna stay hydrated. That's the plan. I Have to actually look and see who is playing for the eat-to-the-beat concert lineup I was hoping that we were in time to catch Joey Photon and friends which basically when they say friends It's almost all of in sync. Everyone except for Justin Timberlake. So I'm not too sure if that's today But we're gonna find out. I mean that would be a really awesome show to watch The eat-to-the-beat concert series is so awesome here because sometimes you forget that they're actually doing it And you're walking around world showcase, and then you're like, oh wait a second That's hands in or boys to men and that has happened to me before But also I want to show you guys something so amazing that I noticed when I parked my car here today that I don't think I think it's brand new. I don't think I've ever seen it before I'm actually in a rental car right now, and when I was parking it gave me a notification to use Disney's new car locator So I was like, okay, I'm gonna do it. So I selected yes And if you go in and you type car locator it actually pops up like this for you And you go and you select and it saves everything for where you are Like you know how people take photos of the parking or the road that they're in it doesn't free automatically in the My Disney experience app and I had no idea so I'm parked and create road 39 It uses the location service, and I think that is just so crazy. How have I never heard of this before? Let me know if you guys have ever heard of the car locator for the my Disney experience app Because that is the first time it has ever popped up for me, but I love it It literally just popped up as soon as I parked and I selected like I'm here or whatever and It just saved all my information and I'm the one that's that used to taking a photo of the sign in the row So that is so convenient All right enough for the car locator business now It's time to make our way into world showcase find our first food and wine booth and get something to eat and something to drink I'm very very thirsty, and I'm not too sure which way to go I think I'm actually gonna go in the reverse direction that we should always go I usually start over in Mexico, but I think I'm gonna go in reverse Make our way towards Canada For the record I am team start on Mexico side But today I just want to live a little dangerously and mix it up a little bit switch things up We're gonna start right here in Australia, and I want to get the grilled sweet and spicy Bushberry shrimp this is one of my favorite things of the festival that they have almost every year The first day that I came out I got the lambing tin from here. That was a really good dessert I liked it a lot, but I didn't get to try anything else. So I feel like this is a strong start It's served with pineapple pepper onion and snap peas, and I'm all about the shrimp and especially the shrimp and business Another thing that I really want to do today is kind of put together a top five food items That I enjoyed from the food and wine festival and I'll go through those at the end of the video That way I can give you a breakdown But I wanted to do one whole lap around and at least get something from every single booth before I made that list That's why we're out here going for round two And take a look at these precious beauties. I love shrimp I've been on a shrimp kick recently and these look so good. I am so pumped They look so amazing and I like to see a little bit of those snap peas and pineapples and peppers in there I mean, this is a really good combination But I think we just need to dive into it because I'm getting very hungry just looking at it All right, here we go. We're diving in and like I said, I am so impressed with these shrimp look at them They're massive. We're gonna take the tail out right here. Look at that It actually just pulls right out all the meat comes right out of the tail. I love that. But here we go Wow It's not that spicy like I know it's a little sweet and spicy and I thought it would be fun like when it comes to boots I'll tell you which one I liked more so like Australia I had the Lamington and I had this shrimp here and I have to say I would go with the shrimp I mean I would take the shrimp over the Lamington any day Like that is phenomenal And I'm basically just saying that on the shrimp alone I don't even touch the pineapple or peppers and also I have a fork in my pocket. I have a fork in my pocket Now we're gonna grab some of these snap peas and some pineapples and peppers give them a bite too. Oh Yeah, six dollars and fifty cents for this you get three gigantic shrimp and all that any day Alright, I officially can say I think we're off to a great start the shrimp in Australia was phenomenal And I would get it over the Lamington any day But something I wanted to point out to you guys that's really really cool If you're trying to get a lot of food and wine done over here by Canada They have three different places right next to each other You have refreshment port Canada and then the Apple seed orchard right there and you can literally just knock all three of Them out in like under five ten minutes. I Do have to say though, I feel like Canada's menu is very small to share in fact for food They only have the cheese the cheddar and bacon soup and then they have the filet Which is always on the menu and that's it for food items But you can kind of count the refresh report because the refresh report has the braised beef Poutine so you can kind of count that into Canada even though the little French, but yeah I mean overall I've had both of those items I'm not gonna get them today, but I would definitely get the filet over the soup only because I'm a big filet fan as I was walking through Canada I did want to point out that they had a special food and wine photo opportunity over here that actually is really nifty I like this it comes out like little Polaroids and it has this background and all these are food items I think that is like the the Poutine and stuff like that. So that's really really cool. I got it actually so if it comes in in time I'll add it in right now so you can see what it's like I'm getting so excited because one of the coolest things is happening They like to call a character Palooza and we're gonna catch it actually Look at this. I get so excited when I see this. Oh Captain Hook is out tigger Rafiki. Oh, this is so awesome. I see Pluto in the back there and you can go and just take your photos with everyone This is the best ever. I love coming upon this Much too good Whenever this does happen because it does happen pretty much randomly It gets very busy very quick and you can line up to meet some of your favorite characters So I think I'm gonna do Captain Hook and me because you get to do them together Like so you get two character meet and greets for one. So we're gonna hop in line to meet them Captain Hook is here. I'm very excited to see you. Yes. I am I am you're one of my favorites I do I try to grow my mustache like yours, but it never works out. Well, yeah Because we have the same little like separation part right there, but I got a nice little beard. I love it well, I'm very excited to see you here at Epcot and I seen Smee but Smee had to leave you go swap the deck. Is that what was going on? Well, poor Smee. I feel oh Just like that.  Well, can we do a photo? Yeah. Oh awesome. Oh Look it. I just walked away and Smee's back now Justin. Oh, look at that He's back from swagger swagger in the deck swagger in the deck. I Can't believe I missed me just by a second But I think we're gonna try to meet Rafiki real quick to see if we have time because I know he's gonna show me the way Rafiki will show you the way Santisana squash banana. You are my favorite. Thank you so much Rafiki I'm happy that I'm able to catch you and come say hello. Yes. Awesome Would you mind if we took a photo together? Yeah. All right. I'm ready. Hold on See you next time Wendell. Have fun. Thank you. I got I got to try one of your bear claws. It was delicious Look at that. Isn't that awesome looks like they're all done for the day How cool is this and it's kind of just like practice for the characters, you know Cuz meeting and greeting guest is actually you know something that takes skills So you need some practice with it, but it'll happen a couple of times throughout the day in different locations And it's kind of like I said random. They don't announce when they do it. It's not something planned And I'm so happy I got to show you today Now we've made our way over to Ireland and last time I was here I got this warm chocolate pudding cake with Irish cream liqueur in it and I got to say that was Phenomenal it was so delicious and I have had the roasted Irish sausage before And it's pretty good, but I haven't had it this year So I might actually think about getting that or the Fisherman's seafood pie Oh, actually I might try the Fisherman's seafood pie and compare it to the warm chocolate pudding cake I feel like that would be a good that'd be a good test All right now it's time for the Fisherman's seafood pie I have to say the picture I mean it looks a lot different on a picture than it does like this It's just mashed potatoes on top so I really don't know what's under there You know what I mean? But like on the picture it had like the shrimp all hanging out and it looked all beautiful But we're gonna we're gonna dive in here. We're gonna give it a go I feel like I should at least show you guys when I break into it I wonder if the top is soft or if it's hard. We're gonna find out in a second. Oh, it's actually pleasantly soft I thought it was gonna be a little bit crunchy and hard, but I'm gonna lift up. Oh I don't know about this. I don't know about this I'm pretty sure this is the world's tiniest shrimp It's so funny because we just went from Australia's gigantic shrimp to like this very very tiny shrimp I mean, it's it's funny, but alright I'm gonna put my little shrimp in there get a big spoonful. I don't know. I don't think I'm gonna like this guys I don't know we're gonna find out here Mmm, I don't like it. Hmm. I Feel like if you had to choose between getting this And any of the other items it would be such a let down because that Chocolate cake is so good and the sausage is not that bad and this like all of the shrimp like oh my god look it it's like very tiny baby baby baby shrimp in there and Yeah, it's just not my thing. It's not my bag. It's not my bag of chips or it's not my shepherd's pie. I Guess lesson learned if you're ever at the Ireland booth Definitely get the warm chocolate pudding cake. Just get it. Just get it. You'll won't you won't be disappointed In fact, I think I'm gonna correct my mistake and just go back and get the warm chocolate pudding cake So I can try it right now. I loved it. It was so good I had it the first day and it's definitely on my favorites lift and Since we really didn't like that Fisherman seafood pie. Why not? Look at that You made my day with that. Thank you so much. I Feel like I have officially corrected the Ireland booth I mean I had this last time so this is a revisit to one of my favorites But it is so good and make sure you can get some extra sauce on there. That's what you got to ask for Seriously don't watch this watch this oh It is so amazing Gotta scoop it all up get it all on there both sides both sides Amazing Wow Now we got to keep moving along through world showcase, but I'm happy that we went back for that warm pudding cake It was so good. I Think I'm gonna skip over France because that always has such a long line I've had the crème brûlée from there before and it was pretty good But I didn't really think I seen anything else. I like so we're just gonna go to the next booth right afterwards We have successfully made our way over to the Brazil booth and I want to actually get the Feijoada Which actually it looks really good and I don't even know if I pronounced that right I think I did a pretty good job there and it comes with black beans with crispy pork belly Brazil nut pesto and then Ben's original long grain white rice But also I want to try this black logger down here. So a little Brazilian beer with some Brazilian food I think that sounds like a good idea The best thing about Brazil is Belgium is right next door So we can get something from Brazil and then Belgium bang bang bang just like that baby bang All right, so let's dive on in I got a wobbly table here though. You see that table's wobbly It's gonna be tough to eat so I might have to fix it Luckily I've been collecting these food and wine passports, so we're gonna fix this wobbly table in no time I'm gonna just take this like this Stick it under there. There we go. Let's test it out now solid perfect All right first things first the Brazilian black logger here Thank you. Hey. Oh, that's pretty good. It's actually not a bad logger Yeah, I just don't like these cups. They like switched out the cups. It's like a little tiny I don't know you guys know what I'm talking about, but the logger is not that bad Now let's dive into this bad boy and this pork belly looks pretty good. I'm gonna I got two forks I got two forks no knives, so I don't know how I'm gonna do this I'm gonna push this this way kind of looks like little hands. I was in it like I don't even know why I do the things I do but anyway, all right I'm just gonna I'm gonna fork it and then pull it I don't know if this is gonna work in my favor right here. Oh, yeah, this might work. Oh, yeah, there we go Okay, we've got to grab some of this Ben's rice there some beans a little bit of everything in one bite There we go. I do love pork belly, so I'm excited and the black beans in here a little bit of everything Hmm That is actually really good I really really like this and when it comes to brazil they have the cheese bread And I'm not the biggest fan of that, but I know a lot of people really do like it So if I was to give you guys like a pick of what I like I would say I'd go with this but the more popular vote definitely would be the cheese bread Definitely go with the cheese bread if you like cheese and bread combination I think that's the big seller here today But this is actually not that bad and I wish that I had a knife because now it looks like I got chopsticks out of my forks Like look at the way I'm holding this right now. What's happening? What's going on in my life? I do want to point out my favorite thing on this whole entire dish though is probably this pesto the pesto is phenomenal And just like I said before right next to brazil is belgium So we're going to grab something from here and I believe the last time we were here We had the belgium waffles We got both the berry and the chocolate and they were phenomenal So this time I think I'm going to get the beer braised beef with smoked goot of mashed potatoes And the chilled coffee comes with a godiva chocolate liqueur in it little little fanciness there First things first is going to be the chilled coffee and it's melting so fast because it's so hot out But I can go for a little coffee right now. I wish I could have gotten without the godiva chocolate liqueur But I don't think you can I would have just gotten coffee actually Oh That's good I honestly don't taste much coffee in there or liqueur Kind of think the water and the ice just kind of melted it down and it was 11 dollars This is the most expensive thing I bought at the festival so far And here is the beer braised beef kind of looks like denny more just without much chunks Little tiny bits of carrots and smoked goot of mashed potatoes under there I mean I'm going to give it a go but I can't imagine this being better than the waffles If I would have picked between the waffles, I would definitely go with I think the berry waffles I think I had the chocolate ones and they were really good, but I think the berry one was my favorite But let's just dive in here a little bit I see one big chunk of beef right here, but that's about it I think there's another piece right here and then there's smoked goot of mashed potatoes underneath it So you gotta get a little bit of everything all in one bite So here we go beef's up Oh, that's good Honestly, it tastes very very good. The flavor is excellent I just wish like there were bigger chunks of like carrots and meat in there I feel like literally too little thing like that is a little disappointing, but this is actually good This is very delicious the mashed potatoes are good. It tastes better than denny more And I would get it again, but I don't think I would get it over the waffles But if I had to choose I'd be all about the waffles Solely because you only get like two pieces of meat and very tiny carrots if it was loaded I might be all on board for it, but I'm already done like look at this already done All right, now it's time. We have to get moving along But the question is do I leave the passports there? Is it littering if I do that? Do you know what I mean? If I if I move it then the table is not going to be fixed anymore And someone's going to come over to wobbly table. I don't know what to do. I kind of feel I feel bad. I don't know I feel I feel torn Now up next is going to be taste of morocco And they got sangria sips and then the tangerine cafe here So I think we might grab something from either one of them. I have to scope it out This is one of the ones I didn't get to go to on opening day. So I'm excited Oh, I'm pretty positive jasmine is just walking around all here, too Well, that was kind of nifty. I don't know where she went to though Oh, hi jasmine What is so I don't even know what's happening right now. Is she hiding from Aladdin? I kind of just keep peeking around because I'm like, whoa, what's happening here Oh, look at her. She's just strolling around morocco. I love that That is cool I absolutely love the fact that jasmine is just walking around the morocco pavilion.  That is amazing gives me disneyland vibes Look at this That is just so amazing Seriously, when you see things like that, it really makes disney like such a magical place. I feel like I think that is so awesome Um But here is a look at the morocco Tangerine cafe here flavors of the million and I have to say one of my all-time favorite things is this pistachio cake right here I love it so much. I get it every year because I love it so much and it has cinnamony paste cinnamony cinnamony Cinnamon pastry cream and candied walnuts and it's four dollars and 75 cents and it has this beautiful chocolate Piece on top. So I think I'm going with just because I love it. I didn't have anything else and if anything it's gonna be that And take a look at this here. It is the pistachio cake now This is on the menu almost I think every food and wine, but it is just a solid go-to. I love it so much It's almost so pretty.  I have to say so we're gonna kind of Save the chocolate for later. I'm gonna just go right down the side here There we go. Gotta get make sure we get that that cinnamon and walnuts This is honestly so good It landed on the plate everything is good in the world, but I almost lost it, but this is honestly so good Seriously, this is one of my favorite desserts. It's definitely going to be making my top five desserts at the festival definitely And also this is my third disani like it is so hot out today so so hot out All right time to keep moving along we're going through japan and we're moving pretty fast today We're getting a lot done. I'm not stopping at every boot just basically the ones I haven't eaten at yet Or the ones that I really love something from It looks like there's a thunderstorm in the area So I think I'm going to rush over to italy because I don't want that boot to close because I didn't get to Eat anything from there last time because of a thunderstorm.

Oh I hear the thunder lightning. I mean oh no thunder I like this You can really really really taste that orange blossom in there This is very delicious and a lot of people knock the italy booth But I've heard good things about this year, but in the past it has not been the best booth to actually come to So i'm glad that they're getting better Well, there you have it now. I can officially say I've eaten it every single booth for food and wine 2022 as of Today because we still have hawaii mac and eats and a lot of other booths opening up But that's not for a little bit longer, but at least now I can say it Right next to italy is spain and they have one of my all-time favorite items here I love this it is so good and it is the paella with rice chorizo and shrimp And they're actually shut down a little bit. They're actually taking orders right here So they have this closed down because of weather. So i'm going to get my paella I'm going to get my paella Here it is the paella and I love this I love this and I think we're going to get poured on because the lightning and thunder just keep on getting a little bit more intense And I feel some raindrops, but we're diving in this is This might this honestly might top my list First of all you get all of this shrimp you get three gigantic big pieces of shrimp Then you get at least three or four pieces of chorizo and then the rice This is this is this is all that this is a great great deal It's also only six 25 and the reason I'm probably going to like this more than the spicy Shrimp over in australia is because you get the chorizo with it too, and it's the same price But the shrimps are about the same Size they have different seasoning on them. Oh, there's some lightning. So we're going to dive in here Wow Much too good now. We got to try some of the paella with the sausage. Oh boy the raindrops are coming the thunder everything's happening so fast We got no time That's amazing. Oh, okay. We have to seek shelter. We have to seek shelter All right, we made it to somewhere where we have a little coverage on us so we can finish our paella But seriously it started raining so fast That's just kind of how it is it turns on and turns off here in florida instantly, but i'm so happy I got this This is definitely top of the list right here Also, I do want to point out that There is like zero spice to this because it looks like it's spicy and even when you say paella I feel like people think it's spicy, but no spice just delicious this the shrimp is perfectly seasoned The chorizo is amazing. The chorizo might have a little tiny, but like I can't I can't taste any spice, but I love it It's actually raining still just a little bit but I feel like we can take advantage of that and actually be able to get Like through the lines a little bit faster. So i'm going to keep moving along Up next is germany and they have the roasted bratwurst served on a pretzel world But they also have the apple strudel served with vanilla sauce and the strudel I feel like is the same one that they have in the beer garden, which is amazing And i'm really thinking about getting both of them Like i'm thinking about getting both of them or the pineapple hepa wyzen the schofenhafer pineapple Now they had like a cherry one and then of course everyone loves the grapefruit one, but pineapple sounds fancy And I always suggest if you get the apple strudel ask for extra vanilla sauce. Trust me. It just makes it so much better And here is the apple strudel. Look at all of the vanilla sauce. They gave me they loaded it up Like it's so heavy. The plate is like tilting that way and like I said, I'm pretty positive It's the same one that you get in the beer garden, but I'm here for it I mean at least I don't have to pay like the $50 price tag and then I also got the brat Had to try the brat. I wanted to get the pineapple beer, but they closed the beer down because of the lightning So we're going to try them both First things first, let's go brat and the pretzel roll is actually really hard.  It's actually got a little crunch to it Did you hear that crunch? So we're going to dive in here um I feel like the brat is very thin. Look at that. It's like a breakfast sausage almost and the ratio is just not happening And it would be better if the pretzel roll was soft, but it had Definitely a little hardness to the side of it. I mean, it's okay, but I don't think it's the best thing I think I would just stick to the strudel next time. You know what I mean? Just go with the strudel And speaking of the strudel, we got to dive in here I don't even know what I can do to actually move this so that I can get the vanilla sauce on it I guess I can scoop it on there. Look at There we go Just scoop it all on there. You gotta need that you need to have it on both sides That's the that's the point of the extra vanilla sauce and then we're gonna cut through Use our cutting skills with our fork that we learned today Get some more of that vanilla sauce. There we go And it's a perfect bite. Oh, nope a little more a little more stabbing. There we go. That's the way Here we go a perfectly covered apple strudel and vanilla sauce. Oh, I love it Honestly, I would put this in my top five list But I feel like it shouldn't count because it's available here all the time at the beer garden You know what I mean? So like I can't really put it up there That doesn't mean I don't love it though, even though it's not going to be on the top five list Like I said, it's just a technicality. It's still absolutely amazing Now it looks like the rain has stopped and we can continue on moving around world showcase But we're almost all done here. We're actually almost all finished To be honest, I'm starting to get a little bit full and I don't think I'm gonna be eating at any more boots Because I've already eaten at all these ones over here So I think maybe I will break down my top five list like for you guys now And I have really thought about this like now that I'm officially Ian at every single stand It was really hard to come up with like, you know a top five between my first day and today's video And I would have to say it number five would be the sticky ribs at the swanky saucy swine I really did like those a lot number four would be australia with the sweet and spicy shrimp I love those shrimps. They were fantastic. Number three would be the pudding cake in ireland That was absolutely phenomenal Number two would be the pistachio cake in morocco I think you guys seen that coming and then number one the shrimp paella the paella in spain Was phenomenal with the chorizo. I just had it and I love it It is so good and the price value is just there for me Worst thing I've eaten probably It's tough the fisherman's the seafood Pie was a little the fisherman's seafood pie was But I mean I'm good with that top five. I feel good about it So now I think I'm just gonna streamline it out to the front of the park Kind of get out of world showcase and make my way to the exit And with that, I think we are done here today It's been a very long day. The heat is getting to me now that it rained a little bit. It is extra humid out And I think I just want to head on home. Yeah, I wanted to ride some rides, but I think I just eaten too much food I don't normally eat all the food. I just sample it But it does catch up to you and also I want to say thank you guys for all the messages about my car And everything like that. Thank you guys so much I mean the love and support that you guys give me is absolutely amazing Honestly, and I don't normally talk about things like I said Yesterday I was just really feeling it, you know watching that sunset And I felt like I needed to let you guys know how much I appreciate you and how much I appreciate The the ability to make these videos and how much it means to me and every once in a while You need to share that you need to share that out in the world. You need to tell people how much You appreciate them and I appreciate you guys. You guys help me so much more than you guys think that I can help you And everything is going well.

Hey, weirdos! It's Darren and, uh, wow. I was asked to do an interview today and I'm still in the process of an interview. It's a text interview, so I'm typing out my answers. And the guy asked me, let me go back to this. I just want to read this to you.  Now, it's a fun interview and a lot of it's all mockery and everything. So, you know, I totally understand that. I think it was a funny question. But then he provided a link saying, in case you didn't know, somebody believes this about you. Huh? I clicked on it. This is what I saw. Notice, this was posted back in 2013. So, over four years ago, this was posted. And, uh, just in case, uh, in case you're not reading it there, if you're just listening, it says, Syrian Darren Marlar, a Christian comedian with a reddish complexion often mistaken for rosacea is actually a Syrian living amongst us. I have to, I'm gonna have to go and figure out what the heck a Syrian is now. But I cannot believe I have come to this point in my career. In fact, I was at this point in my career four years ago where people started throwing out conspiracy theories about me. Wow. I don't know if I should be terrified or flattered. How do you reply to this? Of course, I could feel my face going red now. Uh, so essentially it just proving that I'm a Syrian, I guess. Um, I, if you go to its, uh, truth control.com and just do a search for my name, Darren Marlar. And there's like four different postings there about me. And one of them claims that actually I'm red all the time, but if you don't see the red, it's because I'm wearing makeup or something to, to make me look white. Wow. I can't believe people actually want, listen to this stuff, actually believe this stuff. Um, looking at the, at this page, uh, uh, um, there is a race of beings on Sirius A. The humans there are called the Catae. They are considered benevolent. Uh, there is also animal, mammal and aquatic life on the planet. All right. So apparently I'm from some other planet then. Um, okay, whatever. I'm looking forward to this interview now to see how it comes out. But at first I asked this guy, did you create this page specifically for the interview? Because that's hilarious. But then I did a real quick, uh, search for it. Did a who is search, which didn't give, didn't let, give me anything, except that's when I noticed the dates. The dates all come from 2013. They were all posted four years ago. So probably it's, I think it's just one guy, but still for one guy to think this of me is just


Hi, welcome to Vlogmas, day 15. I just got done walking the dog. I figured I would show you exactly what I wore outside, which was my hat and then my sweatshirt, which doubles as a double hat. This thing was all the way up here. I took it down already. This is my like North Face something or other, I don't know. Took my mittens off so I can control the buttons on the camera. And my nose is like dripping. But it is super cold today. I think the high today is like zero, which really sucks. But anyway, the dog had some serious troubles outside, but we won't go into that.  So anyway, I am gonna heat up that pizza from last night and then start packing. So I'm gonna show you a little bit of that in just a few minutes. But the dog, where's the dog? Where's the dog? Oh, there he is. Hello, hello puppy. Hi, he's waiting for his treat because he always gets a treat if he poops. So he knows, he knows. Can you touch? Thank you, very helpful, very helpful, sir. Okay, let me get him a treat and I'll see you in a minute. So here is the pizza and a pizza stone. If I can find a pizza stone, I'll link it below if you guys are interested.   Pizza with ranch just like yesterday. Actually, that might go in here. Let me bust out the ranch. It's in the same spot as my apples. Yum, yum. More ranch and pizza. This is like the dream team right here guys, the dream team. It'd be better if I had a Coke, but no Coke tonight.  So anywhere, I've got a little bowl here and I'll put some ranch in there. Anyway, all right, so that is this and as soon as I'm done with this, I am gonna keep packing. So, and I'll show you the packing and just a little bit. I have tried my hardest. I can't finish that. I just can't and I'm out of ranch. So I think it's meant to be. It ain't gonna happen. Ain't gonna happen. The dog wants it though. Tell me about it, buddy. You just following the pizza around? Yeah, I'm watching Judge Judy because I need to like decompress. I can't do it. Just can't do it. Now we pack. You gonna help me pack, buddy? Dun dun dun. Why is it still on? Like the fan never turns off even though I've attempted to turn it off. There's like, I don't know how many like pull settings there are. Anyway, so I have packed kind of. Sorry about the wonky lighting. I didn't like grab my little clip thing. But anyway, I am packed. Like I got all my clothes packed. I'm like actually packing like really weirdly. I don't know. Like I just packed some of like my little flats, my little J crew flats. Sorry if you can't see my view finders off. So I just packed these little flats and I have some tennis shoes. We are not doing anything dressy whatsoever besides going to church on, what is it? Christmas Eve. So really all my stuff that I'm bringing with is like casual yoga pants and t-shirts. Cause we're not doing anything and it's gonna be warm-ish. So yeah, and then I'm bringing, well, I don't know if I'm gonna bring this sweatshirt.  But yeah, so I don't know. I mean, I've got a couple of like more dressy-ish outfits, but honestly it's just like Luloro.  Oh, one thing I do wanna grab is my like faux leather jacket from Target. I'm actually gonna wear that I think possibly on the plane too. I know it's kind of odd but I don't really want to wear a really thick jacket. I'm just thinking for like the car ride going to the airport and the car ride coming back from the airport when I get back. I think I'm gonna go with this bad boy from Target. It's like Massimo thing, I don't know, I wear it a lot. I think I'm gonna wear that and this will be like my only jacket I bring just cause we're not doing dressy stuff. I am bringing one, well, I'm gonna have one with me but I'm gonna have like on the plane or whatever. I gotta go over here. I am going to have like, so I have my outfit like kind of laid out for what I'm gonna wear on the plane. So I've got my YouTube shirt, I've got my jacket, I've got my pants underneath there. I've actually already got my like socks and underwear underneath there too and then I've got my barefoot dreams. Great cardigan, so I love that thing. It's super cozy but it isn't like crazy warm. I don't know, it's like hard to explain but the fabric's really nice. So essentially this side of the suitcase is all packed up and ready to go and then this side of the suitcase, so these are all holiday gifts for either my brother or my mom, these are all from Jackson and then I talked to my brother, I actually got, if you guys watched Vlogmas, I can't remember what day it was but I got this like body brush thing and these were in there and he loves like these little scrub gloves for the shower so I asked him if he wanted them and he said yes so I'm gonna bring it with me. So yeah, that is the plan. I also, when I was at Target the other day, I decided to buy some raisinettes for the plane so these are just kinda hanging out here and I will pack my carry-on tomorrow. I feel like there's really no need to do that tonight just because my carry-on is actually going to be my bag that I bring to work. So that being said, I can't do it until tomorrow anyway so it doesn't really matter but I am gonna do at least one load of laundry tomorrow. You know, just finish up the packing and then I'll also do like my toiletries because I'm staying with my parents, sorry I keep moving around but I'm like actually looking for stuff too. Because I'm staying with my parents, I've actually shipped them a couple of years ago, I don't know, two seasons ago maybe because I visit so often, I actually have like full-size shampoo, conditioner, like all that stuff there so I don't have to bring any of that kind of stuff but I do need to bring like all of my makeup and stuff like that. So then I'll also bring like my toothbrush, my Clarisonic which by the way, I need to like start using my Clarisonic again for whatever reason I've just like gotten out of the habit of using it and I can really tell like my skin is just like not great anymore which is bothersome but whatever. I don't know why but I feel like Kasey and I sat right now cause he always like ducks down to like look at the camera.  And by the way, make sure to check out my Facebook, it's down below in the links. That is where I'm gonna be doing my next giveaway which will be coming out very soon. It's probably not going to come out until after I get back from vacation because I won't have the prizes with me to film a video on it to show you guys plus I've ordered some stuff for a giveaway and not everything is here yet. So actually some of it is arriving while I'm on vacation because there was like a back order or whatever. So I know I've been doing giveaways on Instagram but I'm gonna do my next one on Facebook because there were some people saying, oh I wish I had an Instagram but I'm gonna do it on Facebook. The reason I don't do it on the YouTube's, sorry YouTube, is because there's so many spammers out there. It is so difficult to figure out like on the backend how to do a giveaway because there's just really no good direct messaging thing and it's hard to really like validate who people are. It's just weird. So there's a lot of like backend stuff that a lot of people that watch like giveaway videos don't really understand that there's a lot more limitations on YouTube. So which is why I don't like to do it on YouTube. There's like a big smudge on the lens. Like sorry if you guys were smudgy earlier. Getting to the announcement. I obviously announced this on social media earlier but I decided today. Actually I was looking up on DaveRamsey.com. I'll link him below. I'll link like the actual website. This is the Total Money Makeover. If you watched, I think it was Vlogmas day one maybe. I did a haul where I got two of his books. I actually have to pack one of them. So this is the one I'm packing. But, because this is a gift for somebody in Florida. I've been a big DaveRamsey fan for quite a while and I talk about it a lot in my financial videos and stuff. And I've always wanted to take financial piece but I've always been like, you know what? I don't have any debt. Like why am I taking financial piece? But I feel like I can still get a lot out of it regardless. So I decided to sign up because I searched my zip code in the little like, you know, find a class or whatever in your area. And there is actually a class starting on January 8th. So I'm really excited to actually the day before my birthday. So my last day of being 35, I am going to a financial piece university class. So woo, adulting, you know? So anyway, that is gonna be going from January 8th to March 5th. I'm really, really excited. Which is why I busted out my new planner for next year. I know a lot of you guys have been asking me about my planner for next year. Like what my plans are for my planner. I know I've gotten quite a few new subscribers recently. So I know some of you probably haven't like looked back to see my old halls and stuff. But I did get an Aaron Condor and hourly life planner. It's still an hourly, but I did go with the neutral version, which is like the black and gray scale. And I did get the silver coil because, you know, I'm boring and the other coils are like $10 more. And I just didn't think that they were worth it, but whatever. So yeah, but what I was gonna do is take my little Aaron Condor and sticky notes and put them in on those Sundays. Cause it's every Sunday at 1030, which actually works really nicely for my schedule because let's face it, I don't have much going on in life. So that actually works out great. So then every Sunday, this is January 8th right here. So what I will do is at 1030, which is like right in that little slot where my finger is, I'll just mark off some time. I don't know how long the classes are for. I think they're for two hours if I remember right. It didn't really say, but, you know, that's okay. But yeah, it's on a Sunday and it's actually being held at a church, which I actually find very interesting. I mean, I know it's a religion-based thing. It's like a Christian-based thing, whatever. But it's at 1030 on a Sunday. Like, isn't that like prime time for churches? Like, I don't really go to church. If you guys have watched any of my vlogs or any of this stuff, you probably know that about me. If not, hi, my name's Emily and I don't go to church. But yeah, so like 1030 in the morning on a Sunday, isn't that like prime time for church? Maybe I'm totally mistaken. Maybe they do it later now. I have no idea. But yeah, I thought if it was on a Sunday they'd be starting at like noon or one or two, like kind of like after like church services. But you know, maybe they're having like the church services and then they're doing financial piece like while church is going on, like obviously like in a different room or whatever. Because obviously you don't need to be a member of the church to go. Like you don't have to be religious in any way, shape or form to attend the class. So yeah, and then right now the financial piece university kit that I bought because I didn't have the materials.  I think it was like 40% off or 45% off or something like that. So it was only like 90 something dollars. Like it wasn't that bad. Actually, let me pull it up and I'll tell you. And I was actually listening to Dave Ramsey's podcast while I was packing earlier before I started filming this, let me see here. Okay, so I posted on Instagram, let me pull it up. Yeah, it was $93 and I don't have to pay shipping because I'm just gonna pick it up at the class. So you just pay for it. And then yeah, I mean, I actually asked, let's see what it says. So I asked like the people on Instagram, you know, I just said, hey, I'm finally taking financial piece with the new year approaching. It's time to get some of my 2017 goals underway. I'm so excited to start FPU education or my FPU education in January. Have you guys ever been to FPU? I'd love to hear your feedback. So there's a lot of people that have said that they're starting to take it or they wanna take it. Let's see, one other gal says, I've taken the class, I really enjoyed the discussions and some tips that class members had. It's a great class, but you might not be familiar with some of the topics they cover though. So yeah, but that's the idea that you like learn the whole grand scope of everything, which is kind of based on this book, but not always. There are sections in like the total money makeover and things like that that don't pertain to me. Like I don't have kids and I don't want kids. So like saving for kids college, that's not a step for me. So I don't have to deal with like whatever that like baby step is or whatever. So yeah, but there's some stuff that doesn't really pertain to me, but that's okay. Like I feel like you can still do things as you want to. Like if I want to, you know, if I've got like my total financial like scope together, I've paid off my house. I don't have a house right now, but if I paid off my house and had all that stuff and like say my brother, I mean, my brother has a minor child right now, but say he has additional minor children or that child that I'm talking about is still a minor, maybe I want to save something for his college or for his future or something like that or something to give him, you know, when he's 25 or 30 or 35 or something like that, like as just like a gift. You know, I can do that if I really wanted to and wanted to be generous, you know, I'm not going to have anybody to pass down money to theoretically. Obviously I could always get into some sort of relationship and find somebody that has children from a previous relationship too, but you know, I'm just talking about where I am right now, like right this second. So yeah, so I might want to do that step at some point, but that would probably be like the last step for me because I don't have any like kid relying on my income to go seek higher education or anything, but I do feel like I'm going to get a lot out of it. Feel free to leave me information in the comments. Like if you guys are interested in doing, me doing like a recap after I'm completely done with the class or once I'm like halfway through or maybe just like little tidbits on the plan with me is on Monday, because this is going to be happening on a wealth actually that might not work because I might film out of order. So I might actually film on a Saturday and then I take the class on a Sunday and then I post on a Monday, you know what I mean? So, so yeah, but I don't know, let me know if you want information about FPU. I think I will do a video, like a dedicated video when I'm totally done, but if you guys want like little tidbits like every week of like kind of what's going on, I can even just post on like Instagram and Facebook and stuff too. And my links are always below for that as well, but just let me know, let me know. I mean, I don't know what you guys are, I mean, I know what you guys are interested in, it seems like, but then, you know, you guys come up with some really creative ideas of video ideas and suggestions and you know, whatever I'm comfortable with, like if I'm comfortable sharing whatever that is, like I'll totally share it. Like I have no problem with that. A lot of the video suggestions, unfortunately go to the bottom because I have so many other videos that are like pre-planned. Like I can't even tell you like, hold on, like I've got all of January figured out already. I have got, I believe all of February figured out. I've got two open slots in February for video days. Like I've got one Wednesday and one Friday open, like that's it. And then I've got two Wednesdays and two Fridays open in March. So like a lot of times I've pre-planned these videos and some are really time sensitive and some are not time sensitive whatsoever, but I always love suggestions from you guys. And if I can, I do them. So let me know if you got suggestions, post them below. And I always keep track of your video suggestions too. So even if I don't do your video, it doesn't mean it's not gonna get done. It just means that I either need more time or the video doesn't pertain to my style. And normally if it doesn't pertain to my style, I usually comment back to be like, hey, you know, you might wanna search for that somewhere else on YouTube. Like that's just like not my channel, but you know, I'm sure you can find it. Anyway, I need to go because I am going to put in all of my little sticky notes right now into my planner. But while I'm doing that, I'm actually gonna export all this footage into my computer and get this file ready to go for tomorrow evening, which will be Friday for you guys. So happy Friday. So anyway, I'm gonna get going. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me for a little part of your day. I really, really appreciate it. If you liked this video, make sure to give it a thumbs up. Thank you so much for all the love and support during Vlogmas. It's been really fun so far and I'm almost halfway through. We're at day 15. So I've got actually 16 more of these to go. So it's actually been going pretty good, I think. It's been a fun little change of pace to have something different on my channel. So anyway, I'm gonna let you guys go. I hope you're having a great day and I will see you all in the next vlog or the next video depending on how you watch these. I'll talk to you later. Bye guys. I gotta go. Bye.


Hey everyone, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman joined once again by Jim Sones of Fandle We switch over from the links over to Talladega. That's the course this week in NASCAR Jim. You ready? Always ready for Talladega Greg It should be a fun race and it's a pretty interesting one for DFS because the field is being set effectively by owner points and that means the best cars are starting up first But in Talladega you want to target drivers starting further back So you're probably gonna leave a lot of salary on the table here this week on Fandle But it's gonna be for some very interesting lineups. So I'm excited to get building and seeing how this shakes out How are you Greg? I'm doing well Jim. I'm excited obviously for this race this weekend. So let's start breaking it down Our lineup shares here in DFS and the highest price driver this week that you're going with it's Eric Amarola $11,000 on Fandle this week. Why is he your man as your high price play? Yeah, Amarola isn't even that high salary. He's $11,000 whereas the most expensive driver is $13,300 So not even that expensive, but he is a driver who is starting between 13th and 24th They will draw for starting positions on Thursday nights We'll know where he is in that range then but I think Amarola is good enough at this track Or we can get behind him no matter where he winds up within that range What can I model right now for Talladega? Amarola actually ranks eighth overall in my model for this race And it's for good reason because he actually won here back in the fall of 2018 and Stuart Haas racing the team he drives for dominated that entire race Amarola got the win Clint Boyer finished second and We also saw Amarola get a win on a pack racing track back in the day when he was with Petty Motorsports at Daytona So he's really good at this type of track where there's a lot of jockeying for position Amarola seven straight top ten finishes in Talladega That's borderline impossible given how high variance of a track it is He has four top-fives and a win in that time So he could start as high as 13th But given the fact that I think he has a good shot to win this race He's 26 to 1 to win a Fandalords book up like that number as well We're gonna throw that out there because why not but I think that Amarola will be starting lower in the order than most of the drivers who can realistically win this race So I am willing to use him regardless of where he starts He will probably be a cash game play if he starts 24th So see where Amarola winds up in the draw And I think that he is in play for tournaments regardless and very in play for cash games And probably the first guy locked into cash games if he draws at the bottom end of that range All right get it in there in those cash game lineups all those tops and finishes the Talladega like you said relatively Unheard of obviously previous success at Daytona that you mentioned as well high variance Good number at the Fandals sports work here a lot to like about Eric Amarola here $11,000 not even that expensive here on Fandal this week Up next also in that high salary range is Ricky Stenhouse Jr He's over $10,000 this week over at Fandal What's his starting position expected to be in the range here Jim? Yeah He'll be in the same range as Eric Amarola between 13th and 24th And in the spirit of Talladega nights Ricky Stenhouse Jr has a little bit of Ricky Bobby in him Where if he ain't first he's probably last his checkers or Wreckers for Ricky Stenhouse Jr That's true at every track because he wrecks a lot There's a reason his nickname is Wrecky Stenhouse But it's especially true in Talladega and his ceiling is higher at this track than it is at any other track He did get a win here back in 2017 and he also won the July Daytona race that year So basically he's either top 10 or he wrecks there is no in between He has been in the top five in for the past seven races in Talladega He wrecked in two of the others and finished ninth in the fall last year. So I'm not even exaggerating. This is very literal He either finishes top ten or he wrecks. That's the way it goes He will start outside the top 12 just like Eric Amarola good win odds a respectable starting spots So Ricky Stenhouse Jr If checks a lot of boxes the one box He does not check is that he drives a Chevy and I am overall kind of worried about Chevy's this week because Their bumpers didn't link up well in Daytona and that led to some weirdness at the end I don't believe there were any Chevy's in the top seven finishing positions. So Generally, I'm not super into the Chevrolet's this week But because Stenhouse is so cheap at ten thousand one hundred dollars has the ability to win and we'll start between 13th and 24th I'm going to take the risk on him as a driver and Chevy as a manufacturer to get him into my lineups this weekend You want to talk about high risk higher award that is it for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. As Jim mentioned he either crashes or finished in the top ten So either you'll it's very simple, right? You either cash on a panel this week or you won't he's pretty That's it Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Has the ability to crush it for you or get crushed That's the risk that you're to take the ten thousand one hundred dollars. It's well worth it Even though he was driving a Chevy Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Belongs in your lineup as does Christopher Bell. He's priced at ninety one hundred dollars here on Fandu will be as weak. Why is Bell worth getting into our lineups here, Jim? Well, stop me if you heard this one before Greg But it's because of where he will start this race Christopher Bell is actually going to start even deeper than Amarillo and Stenhouse because he is outside the top 24 His team is outside the top 24 and owner points Which means he could start this race as deep as 36 And if he does that Christopher Bell is going to be in a really good spot But he's also a good at talent He is a good driver coming up from the Xfinity series and the equipment has been good enough recently For us to have a good deal of confidence in him We saw Christopher Bell have a good run in Daytona this February his first race with Levine family racing and He actually restarted that race in second position with less than 10 laps left You'll be shocked to learn that he crashed because that happens a lot at these tracks But a good run there showed some upside in that race and he had a decent track record at the pack racing tracks in the Xfinity series he didn't win, but he was third in Talladega last year in the Xfinity series led 16 laps in that race So I'm not 100% convinced that Christopher Bell will wind up being an elite pack racing driver as his cup series career advances But the starting position is there The equipment is good enough for him to compete and I think that the talent is there enough as well $9,100 a good salary for Christopher Bell given that you'll be starting all the way in the back You're probably going to leave a lot of salary on the table and that should make it really easy to afford Christopher Bell Even if he may not be in like top tier equipment still very much worth his salary on Sunday And that's the important thing with Christopher Bell right worth his salary He's a good starting position may not be a top tier driver when it's all said and gone and his career continues on but This week at $9,100. It's a really nice price for Bell. It's worth putting in your items Another guy that you consistently like since NASCAR has been back has been Matt DiBenedetto He's priced at $8,100 and he's relatively been in this range He's been someone that you've relied on I know we talked about it yesterday in golf that until someone fails you We're gonna put him back in a lineup of course yesterday That was Rory McElroy until it doesn't work we you leave him in there Well Matt DiBenedetto is a bit cheaper than Rory McElroy McElroy comparatively here in NASCAR Why does DiBenedetto belong in our lineups once again? He's like a discount version of Eric El Merola where he checks a lot of the same boxes because he drives for a good team He's starting between 13th and 24th. He's not that expensive and I think he has a shot to win this race He is 40 to 1 to win a Fando sportsbook I think that's kind of interesting is the way that I would phrase that at 40 to 1 So DiBenedetto could win this race and like I was saying he has what we kind of want out of drivers in this range He drives for Woodbrothers Racing and that means he is effectively teammates It's they basically say that Woodbrothers Racing is a Penske team with a different Twitter account So he's as effectively teammates of Joey Logano Brad keselowski and Ryan Blaney and again teammates matter a lot here And all three of those teammates are 11 to 1 to win or better DiBenedetto is 40 to 1 so and he started between 13th and 24th if he gets to the front He will have help once he gets there now When you look at the track history for DiBenedetto at Talladega, it's not that great He's never finished better than 18th at this track, but he's crashed sometimes. He's also been in doggie-do equipment for his entire career and is now and finally in a competent car And I think that that bodes well for him having teammates should help as well He had a top 16 average running position in both Talladega races last year He almost won in Daytona last year So another good blend of talent and teammates like we discussed with Eric Almerola earlier on He's only $8,100. He's starting outside the top 12 There are a lot of good drivers in this range So if Almerola, Stenhouse, Tyler Reddick, Austin Dillon, William Byron, Eric Jones, Chris Bush, or any of those guys start In the bottom end of this range, I will go their way But just playing things straight up I think that DiBenedetto and Almerola are my two favorites. They're in forwards They've got good teammates and they've got a shot to win this race for not a not an overly restrictive salary I think that's really cool that his teammates right all at 11 to one Penske racing and he's at 40 to 1 here Matt Benedetto for a lot of the reasons that you're gonna like his teammates He'll get the starting position here right in that middle where you want to be He's had some track success and it would have been better if they get in those wrecks But Matt Benedetto is really nicely priced both the Fandall sportsbook and here on Fandall in DFS $8,100 DiBenedetto, a really good start here this week Let's go to some more of our value plays that includes Cole Custer at $7,800 Custer, he's had some success as well. He took a look at track history Cole Custer is it good enough that it's worth putting in your lineups here Yeah, so DiBenedetto is a discount version of Eric Almerola Cole Custer is a discount version of Christopher Bell because they're both rookies And Bell has outperformed Custer by a pretty significant margin so far this year But Custer will be starting outside the top 24 as well as to be starting between 25th and 36th And that's a good thing. The reason that I say he's a discount version of Bell is because there are several additional concerns with Custer namely that he didn't finish very well here in the Exciting series. He ran six races at the pack racing tracks. He crashed three times He had only one top 10 finish that one top 10 was in Talladega but a little bit concerted That's the bad. The good is that he is going to start deeper in the pack We always like that at Talladega. That's encouraging. The equipment is awesome He is teammates with Kevin Harvick, Eric Almerola, Clint Boyer with Stuart Haas racing So we know that he has a speed to get the job done in the upside to win this race That's all a good thing for Cole Custer So Custer in a similar mold to Christopher Bell He is riskier because I am more skeptical of the talent with Custer at this track type Than I am with Christopher Bell but he checks every other box we could possibly have So Cole Custer $7,800 If I could avoid him in cash games I would like to do so and it really does depend on where he draws Like if he draws 25th, I am okay passing him over but if he draws 36th Going to be hard not to go there. So see where he draws But I think overall Cole Custer despite the legitimate concerns around his profile Still a good play for Sunday in Talladega We'll see where he does wind up starting here Where he draws we'll see As Cole Custer like I said Of course history exists Not all of it's great but it does exist He has history of course at Talladega in tracks like this He's got good teammates like you mentioned And if Custer could just do enough for you as a rookie Comparatively Christopher Bell almost $2,000 cheaper than Christopher Bell It's worth putting in your lineups Cash games we'll see But let's just wait and it may be You may have no choice depending on where he's starting We'll have that draw coming up a little bit One last driver to get into our lineups According to you Jim Sonos and that's Ryan Priest He is $7,000 super super cheap on FanDuel Why is he worth getting in there? Yeah I just wanted to mention a couple of other drivers Who are starting outside the top 24 who could be interesting We mentioned Bell and Custer They're the primary guys I'm targeting back here Ryan Priest is one Also Michael McDowell, Brendan Gaughan, Corey LaJoy And Ty Dillon Ty Dillon $7,400 I think all those guys are intriguing The reason that I listed price here above those others Is that he's the one guy with a pretty decent track record on this track type Going back to last year He was eighth in last year's Daytona 500 A very different track but again similar style And he then followed that up with a third place finish in Talladega last year So he showed that he can get a top end finish on this track type And he will be running or starting outside the top 24 for this weekend Going back to February when he was in Daytona He was running really well in that race before a late crash took him out So I think that Priest is my favorite driver Among the non Bell or Custer drivers Who will start outside the top 24 But again I'm willing to use any of Bell, Custer, Priest, Ty Dillon I think that they're all really good plays And salary is not going to be an issue here But I think that Priest, given his ability I think that same thing is true with Christopher Bell I am willing to leave salary on the table To use them versus spending up for a driver Who may be starting higher in the pack So just get comfortable Get your mind set to the point where you need to be okay Leaving salary on the table Because it will be necessary to fill out a good lineup this weekend Priest is a big part of that, it's $7,000 You don't need the savings But I will still take them because his profile is so good A lot of different directions that you could go with here in the values In the value tier You don't necessarily need the savings, as you mentioned, Jim Because our highest priced driver that we have in the lineup here It's Eric Amarillo Only $11,000, right up to the Kevin Harvick level Here, Ryan Priest, $7,000 What he gives you is too good to pass up So let's take that extra savings We'll be able to manipulate the lineup here a little bit And let's get Priest in there this weekend That's a no-no for us here on The Fan Del Harriott We're set for the PGA Tour We are set for NASCAR I'm ready to go, Jim, I'm ready for this weekend Yeah, we got the Belmont Stakes coming up too We've got the English Premier League back It's a good time to be a sports fan Finally, once again, we have some live sports to watch Going to be a good weekend And looking forward to talking to you once again next week, Greg It has been way too long Since we've said it's a good weekend to be a sports fan Hopefully that'll be the case all summer long For Jim Sahn, I'm Greg Sussman Have a wonderful weekend Good luck and stay safe, everybody


Welcome back to the Seaport in Boston. You're watching theCUBE's coverage of Red Hat Summit 2022. A lot of bummed out Bruins fans, but a lot of happy Celtics fans. We're optimistic for tonight, Boston's crazy sports town. But we're talking tech, we're talking open source. Dr. Amanda Pernell is here. She's the director of data and analytics innovation at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs and Ben Cushing is the chief architect for federal health and life sciences at Red Hat. Folks, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having us. So glad to be here. So we heard your keynote this morning, Project Arches. Now you were telling us just briefly about your previous life as a clinician. That's right. So that's really interesting because you know what the outcome has to be. So talk about that project and your perspective, what the goals were and how you actually got it done. Yeah, I mean I can tell the long view. So I'm a psychologist by training. I spent the first 10 years of my VA career providing care to veterans. So engaging in healthcare behavior change, providing training to providers and really trying to understand what is the care pathway for veterans? What's the experience of veterans along each of those touch points? And it became clear to me over time that there were opportunities for us to improve the transitions of care and provide better information at the right time to improve those decisions that are being made at the point of care. And Ben and I were just talking before we began today. Part of the core of the development of Arches was beginning with human-centered design. We wanted to interview and better understand what was the experience across the VA of many different stakeholders and trying to access meaningful information, understand in that moment, what do I need to make a decision with a veteran or what do I need to make a decision with my care team and how can I improve the quality of care for veterans? And so hundreds of interviews later, it became clear to us that we wanted to help those individuals already working for the VA to continue to improve excellence of care. And one of those ways that we're trying to do that is using technology to make life easier for our veterans and for our clinicians. I always like to say, they say, follow the money. I like to follow the data. And you said something in your keynote about nurses have to have access to information. And it just gets to an architectural question because as a caregiver, you have to get insights and data and you need it fast as you're saving lives. But a lot of times architectures are very centralized. They're monolithic and you have to beg, borrow, steal. It break through blockers to get to the data that you need. So how do you square that circle in today's world? Maybe you could talk about that and then specific to Archance, how you dealt with that. Yeah, I can dive into that a little bit. I have to say like, a man of touch on this during the keynote, VA was one of the first, if not the first healthcare organizations in the world to actually adopt electronic health records. And because of that, they just have this incredibly rich amount of historical data. And the challenge, as you point out, is gaining access to it. So there are a number of programs within VA designed specifically for that. And they are bringing data, not just from like the data warehouses, but also data from the electronic health records that are running inside of VA right now and then also third party community data sets as well as applications that run inside the VA. And now the value here really happens when you produce insights, right? Like data by itself is useless. A lot of data out there, right? You need to create knowledge, right? And then you need that knowledge to inform your process that comes next, right? Those actions are really what matters. All of healthcare is process. And activity, all right? And data is really just a historical record. I mean, all data that we look at is happening in the past. And then as we're reading it, we're producing knowledge and then again to inform our process. And ARCHES, the program itself is right in that space at the knowledge layer of actually taking that data and turning it into actual insight and something that is usable and insightful for clinicians to affect the ability to deliver better care and also to actually improve their own working experience, right? A lot of the models that are getting built out are specifically designed to help their workflow, help them reach better outcomes for the veterans but also for themselves. Because if we can care for the providers, it'll certainly help them care for the patients even more so. So how does it work?  That's a great question. So we want to make it easier to access the information. So it's been noted, the average person providing care in the field doesn't know how to code, doesn't know how to pull a unique request for an individual data point. And what we're trying to do with ARCHES is provide a user interface that allows for both a non-technical person and a very technical person to access information. And then what gets provisioned in front of a provider is something that is farther abstracted from the underlying data layer and more like, here's a specific insight. So I use the example in my keynote of chronic kidney disease. So what's provisioned to the provider in that moment is this person is at higher risk for chronic kidney disease based on this basic information. So it's servicing just the right amount of information to allow for that care pathway to be improved. But the physician doesn't need to see all of the layers of code underneath. They need to trust that it's worthwhile, but they don't need to know all the background abstractions. So it's a self-service essentially infrastructure in that sense, you're hiding the underlying complexities. You gave an example in your keynote of an individual who realized that they were under counting the probability of a potential disease for African-Americans. And I believe she just kind of rewrote the algorithm. She did. Describe that process because in a lot of organizations injecting that new algorithm may have required new data sources would be, like, take an act of the pope, right, to do. How did it work in ARCHES? You know, this is what I get excited about with ARCHES is that we have the opportunity to empower enthusiastic people like Dr. Joshi to discover an insight. And she's a talented informaticist, so she could do the technical work and provision a container for her to work in, for her to do the data analysis the underground stuff that we're not letting the average provider have to cope with. She was able, we were able to provision the tools that she need, the environment that she needed to be able to test and develop the new insight, confirm that there was something there, there, and then begin to validate that and test it in other facilities. So our thinking is, how do we bring the resources to the users rather than saying to the users, this is what's available, good luck. We've been talking a lot about, I'm sorry, go ahead. I want to add on to that. What we're actually experiencing inside of healthcare right now is the emergence of learning health systems. And this is a great example of that. The terrifying number is it takes 17 years for new knowledge that gets created with healthcare research, whether it's NIH or VA or elsewhere. It takes 17 years for those practices to make their way into practice. And generally the way that happens is through the education of new staff. And so the dissemination of that knowledge is just so freaking slow that we cannot move nimbly enough to take on that new knowledge and actually implement it in clinical space. What Amanda's describing is something that now happens in months. New knowledge getting produced and then actually getting disseminated out. Both the insights, what are those probabilities, predictions and recommendations and the actual processes which are getting automated as well. So if you think about healthcare as just a process, you can automate a whole lot of that. And we can move that needle really fast and actually take that 70 year number down to a couple months. In the early days when we were all talking about AI and excited about digital, I would often ask the question, when will machines be able to make better diagnoses and doctors and to your point Ben, that's not the right question. The question is, how can machines compress the time to better patient outcomes in concert with humans? And that's what we're seeing. That's right, it's like surfacing those insights to start a conversation. So as you look, we've been talking a lot about artificial intelligence for the last two days. As a clinician or someone with a clinical background, where do you see, how do you see the clinical experience changing as machines grow more intelligent? I think that there's a learning curve for people to feel confident in an artificial intelligence. It makes sense, right? So someone spent decades perhaps of their life obtaining medical training, doing fellowships, doing additional training, they have trust in that deep training. There are times however, where a technology is able to surface something that we didn't know that we didn't know. And it's important as we make use of artificial intelligence, that we clearly validate it with independent means, and that we clearly also bring in additional analysis to understand what are the elements, and then test that new technology in an environment before we scale it widely. So that clinicians can see, yes, this was useful, if it wasn't useful, how can we make it even better? So it goes back to what we were talking about earlier, that we have to bring in human-centered design to figuring out how do we make use of AI or machine learning models, and make sure that there's trust in those models, and that we can clearly articulate value for the clinicians and care teams on that ground. Is that a natural evolution of arches? This is all built around it. Arches is the technology platform, but there's no magical technology that's going to change how humans interact. And so the way we think about each project is we think about what are the technological components, and what are the human factors components, and we have to think about the entire care pathway. I'll go back to that example, the chronic kidney disease she identified that we were under-identifying African-Americans for chronic kidney disease, so she changed the algorithm, not only did she change the algorithm, we also had to think about who would be informed of those changes, how would that change, who would be connected to the veteran in that point of care, and build out the care pathway in the care team, and that's really how you actually influence an outcome. Surfacing and insight is important, but it's one part of a much larger picture. So what is Arches, it's a technology platform built on open source, at least there's a lot of open source in there, and it's got what, API connectors to all the sort of legacy technologies that you need it to. Can you describe and paint a picture of what it actually is? Arches is evolving as it should, right? So it's designed to meet the unique needs that aren't being met by other infrastructure in the VA. So we started first by identifying the need for cloud compute, so it's in the cloud. It has open source technology so that we're not stuck with any one provider. It also has the ability to use containers to be able to move insights out of Arches to an enterprise solution. We're also bringing in multi-cloud strategy, which also something that's been discussed quite a bit in this conference, to make sure that we're not saying only one cloud provider can be the solution for a veteran's needs. Our mission is serving veterans, and so we wanna have access to all the technology and not just one. And so we're looking at how do we expand the scope to make sure that we have the most variety possible so we can meet the needs of veterans. I can add a little bit to it as well. The Arches, think of Arches as a program, right? It's an incubation space under the Office of Innovation. So it's a place where the governance allows for trying new ideas and really pushing the envelope for VA in general. There's not a lot of organizations, if any, at VA that allow for that type of incubation. And so Arches is an unique position to create new technologies and new novel approaches to solving big problems. And then the next step to that is moving the work from Arches out into the enterprise, as you called it out. So for instance, the system of engagement where the actual clinicians interact with patients, the model needs to find its way there. And we can't do that in a way that disturbs the current workflow that the clinicians have, right? We need to be able to bring the model to where the clinician is, have those recommendations, probabilities and predictions surfaced to the clinician in a way that is precise to their existing workflow, right? They need it at the time they need it, right? Arches itself is not delivering that part of it. It's more like the place where the innovation happens and the incubation really occurs. And then it's about taking this container, really, and moving out to other systems that are already deployed out to the hospitals of the Edge and in the Cloud. And the federated governance occurs in Arches or elsewhere? It happens across the continuum. It's starting in Arches. The clinical validation that happens there is wickedly important because the clinicians need to know that what they're working with is actually legit. And so when they know that the researchers and the clinicians who are involved in that incubation period have done their work, they can feel confident with the recommendations they're getting from the machine learning models that are getting deployed in front of them. So many questions, so little time. What's the business impact? How would you describe that? For me, it's like an emotional impact. People have a sense of I have a place to develop a solution and I can get in there quick. And I can test out an idea. I could potentially partner with an external partner or if I have the talents and skills to do it myself, it's empowering all of those innovators who have great ideas to work together to test and develop and validate solutions and they're not waiting years to get the idea off the ground. Go ahead. Is ARCHES open source? ARCHES is a platform and it has open source components so that the underlying infrastructure of technology is open source. Why was it important to you that this be built on an open source platform? It's important for us that we not marry ourselves to any one technology and that we allow for as much as possible transparency and many different tools and the right tools for the right solution. So we didn't want to find ourselves connected to only one way of doing things. We want to have versatility to have the right tool for the right problem at the right time. I'm so sorry we're out of time. It's so interesting and I really appreciate you guys coming on and sharing your insights with the CUBE audience. All right, keep it right there. This is Dave Vellante from Paul Gill and we're in day two of Red Hat Summit 2022. You're watching the CUBE. Due to the pandemic, the federal government declared a public health emergency which created an urgency for healthcare coverage. One of the biggest demands...
