Good evening everyone. Hope you all are having a wonderful day The Bible says that we should not at any of us should ever think more highly of ourselves than and we ought to the issue is here is There's a person who On YouTube, of course, it's not the only person who views himself a little highly a little more higher than he ought to It's not even a debatable issue as a matter of fact He kind of advocates that he doesn't say it quite the same way But you'll see what I'm talking about in a minute. Someone asked me if I would Talk about this person Kevin Samuels. Well, when they first said that I had no idea who he was never heard of him I'm thinking was he somebody was he an entertainer? Was he a preacher? Didn't know who he was and so I didn't really think too much about him and someone else even asked me What I think about him saying so-and-so and I said I couldn't comment because I don't know anything about him I couldn't it would be unfair for me to say so then Some more people asked me a matter of fact someone even sent me something about him and I said, okay Fine, I'll go ahead and look him up and I even thought that it was maybe a buddy of mine who they said no I don't know this guy. I've never heard of this guy and What was interesting was the opinion that each one of them gave about this man And so I want to talk about him But really also how it pertains to us as as believers and so This really isn't solely about this man Kevin Samuels it's about his audience and what Potential harm he could be doing to to believers now Obviously, you can tell by the thumbnail that I do not believe that any Christian be at a Christian male or a Christian female Off to be listening to him If you are in the world if you're not a believer if Christ is not who you want to Serve if he's not your Lord then Fine Live how you want to live listen who you want to listen to and be careful of nothing That would be my take on it, but for those who are named At the name of Jesus if that's who your Lord is well then Those are those are the ones what I'm talking to now When I looked at him and actually I looked at several videos before I even went to his Before went to his channel his channel is is a large channel. I think it's like 1.2 million subscribers And so he's well known and and he's been interviewed by different people He is some sort of I guess a relationship expert or guru or dating expert How that is I guess anyone can can call themselves that I mean I can call myself that and then someone who is looking for A better relationship is going to look up and find Find me out and hear what I have to say because let's just be honest people are desperate Especially those who have been hurt who have who find themselves single Involuntarily who would like to be married or those who just struggling with relationships or want to find the right mate The right spouse And so what do you do you turn to whoever you can find just like anyone who wants to lose weight? There's only one there's really only one secret to losing weight But we're going to turn to every sort of miracle every sort of new Diet or fat Same thing with this and so I don't begrudge anybody for wanting to listen to him If they are not a believer That being said a lot of and a lot of what he says actually is true You're not going to have someone that's going to accumulate a A good following if they don't have anything true to say I mean the bible says that even satan i'm not and i'm not calling him satan So don't don't i'm just using this as an example But the bible says that even satan Even he would appear as an angel of light and so you have got to if you want to Have a sinister or an ungodly motive behind you You can't really appear that way and so a lot of what he says is actually true Is good I'm questioning his motives. I'm questioning something about him That I see that other guys have seen as well And then what direction the harm that it might do as far as A non-believer especially someone who's really Impressionable he said like said he says a lot of good things in terms of relationship And really these things are really just kind of kind of obvious Some of you don't know who he is and I'm not saying even go look him up. Some of you do Like I said, I've been under a rock and so a lot of these people who I hear about I don't know much about them and so I try to kind of Do a little research and and look up and see what he's got going on It was it was really interesting He is he's the kind of person he as I said he thinks more highly of himself Than he ought to he really does and of course paul says we ought not do that and so He's got a good thing going. I mean, let's just be clear. He's got a good thing going in that he tells Lessor men how to be like him And I said lesser men. That's not how I see you or anyone else But that's how he sees you he sees other people as lesser men And as lesser women He's the guy who said that he thinks that um out of a scale of one to ten ten being the highest What kind of a man he is He's an eye. I mean you we're gonna hear this in a second. Um, he has this this term He says he didn't coin the phrase and I guess he didn't but he's given it his own little definition What a high value man is we're gonna talk about that And some of the things that he's advocating for even says that we ought to advocate for ourselves Just raise a lot of red flags And so when he says that he's a nine Out of a teen makes you wonder. What does he think about everyone else? And so one of the little clips that he says I thought it was just funny and so I just want you to hear this Consult with a group of women one of the first things I do is I ask everybody Ask everyone to rank themselves on a scale of one to ten and you cannot use seven There is no seven It's either one two three four five six eight nine or ten And you know what the majority of women rank themselves as probably eight Eight and they and you know what the majority of the women are Six the average is a six and that's being professionally nice Women look at themselves and see and will rank themselves higher than they actually rank themselves Ask men the same question men rank themselves to about around five five and a half of I actually aggregated Men look at themselves and see their problem areas women look at themselves and see what they want to see So what would you rank yourself Kevin? I rank myself or not okay so To him and I'll show you why this is of any sort of biblical importance to the body but to him Most men and he says they rank themselves Properly in the realm of a five Maybe sometimes a six but a five and they do that honestly and that's kind of where they should be And then for women most women exaggerate who they are And will rank themselves as an eight, but really they are five sometimes at best six and he is even I guess someone's talking about How he told some woman and I guess it went viral where he said at best your average And so you kind of see this whole little thing about him And so red flags kind of go off Even when I when I when I see this and how he just thinks that the average woman is a five Well, the first question that that that's just begging to be answered or asked is What about your daughter? Do you think she's a five also? I hope you wouldn't tell her that But why would you tell any woman that? well Let's just be clear. This is an example of an insecure man Truth be told All of us are insecure all of us It's just to what degree we're insecure and how we overcome it or even how we try to mask it if you can Accept the fact that you are insecure that there's some things wrong about you and you're okay with that Well, then you'll live a productive life. You'll live a happy life mentally healthy life But if you just don't if you can't get by it and the way that you over compensate or compensate One of the two for your insecurities is to put people down and lift yourself up, which is what he does Then we got a problem And the problem really comes in is when you are trying to Speak to people about how to be this high value man or a high value woman or this person of work And one of the things someone is going to say eventually because he's got a lot of fans who They're going to want to score eight me. They're going to want to score eight me They're going to want to say all sorts of things about me. I'm jealous. I'm a hater again I don't know this guy. I never met the person just found out about him So I'm not jealous could care less about him And when I'm going to tell you a little bit about about my past and you'll find out I'm in no way shape from a fashion jealous of this person but Someone's going to ask well, why did you put that picture of him up? Why did you put the picture of him with consult with a group of women? One of the first things I do is I want why don't you put the picture of him? You know the way he looks Well I didn't come up with these pictures. These are these are his pictures These are pictures that kevin took of himself. These are selfies and He took the pictures he posted the pictures and not only that he's That's how he is. He's proud of those pictures. Well My issue is this Personally and you all have heard me say this before Even talked about how men are today a lot of weak men. As a matter of fact, uh, paul washer I think he said either he said or his wife said it about how if there was a a man eating lying lying on the loose He would soon die of starvation because there weren't very many men for him to eat And his point was that men are not the same We are not the same the way People in this generation or earlier generations are fathers our grandfathers and so forth We are so consumed many of them are so consumed with how they look how they appear to people Ladies, let me just say this If your man Has more fragrances In the bathroom than you We got a problem if he's more consumed about his hair than your hair Uh, then you are about your hair. We got a problem if he's more consumed about his appearance and his dress Then we got a problem and somebody said well, Cory Obviously, you're not consumed about you know consumed about your hair because you don't have any But a man should want to be groomed, right? That's not what i'm saying But if there's this overemphasis this overemphasization of this person wanting to look nice The question is look nice to who who is it that you are trying to impress? And what is it about yourself that feels that you are really inadequate again? I said we all have some insecurities But his just seemed to kind of just just jump off the chart and with his I when you go to youtube, you'll find that there are people who have questioned his his sexuality He made a statement about men With other men and he didn't really kind of backtrack at least that I've heard again I'm not a follower.  That's all I'm saying We need to start advocating for men who want to be with men. I understand the impulse brothers. I do But our women Are not showing us. I don't care what they say. What are the women showing? well I don't know how you can A man wouldn't even have that come out of his mouth start advocating for men being with other men I don't care what relationship you've ever been in. I don't care what it is But say hey, listen, we need to promote and advocate and embrace other men being with other men. No, no, no, no, sorry, kevin But you know what? I get it. It's the world you're speaking to the world I hope that is but if you're a christian you have no business listen to this person I want to share something with you guys and I want to talk about really and I have again I have a problem with his dress That's bothersome to me Men ought to dress in a way that is appropriate right and There's a couple of passages in the bible that we don't pay attention to that is really also focusing on Dress and the way a man behaves how he carries himself and so Without further ado, let's go ahead and go to the bible and let's look up a couple of things one Where's it at? In first corinthians six, let me make the uh the text a little bit bigger Um, he makes a statement in verse nine Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of god Not do not be deceived neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who practice homosexuality This word that's used here Uh is used as the in some verses it may say be effeminate But the word is excuse me Malachor and the word means someone who is soft so For a man to be soft That's not what god is after now. He's got after for somebody who's just hard all over he just This guy he just just rough and tough and has no sensitivity No, but the way you carry yourself and you all know what we mean by when we say a man is effeminate and nowadays There's this term called toxic masculinity where really being a man Is not not looked upon to to finally by certain people But the truth of the matter is and you just ask any real woman She doesn't mind a man being masculine as a matter of fact, that's what she wants She wants a man who is a man The problem is the lines have become blurred between men and women nowadays And so there's a was his old spice. I think it's old spice commercial where uh the guy and the gal they are She wants to to use his his his I don't know his lotion or his or his soap or whatever it was And so he's talking about how he he just wants to have his own And it's kind of a little a little feminine take on on men But that's not what god wants god is not after us being soft in any way As a matter of fact look at something that jesus said and tell me if you notice this up front Uh in matthew jesus is Let me go there Oh, i'm clicking the wrong button in matthew jesus let me make the font a little bit bigger so you all can see Uh jesus and matthew levin chapter verse seven Is talking about john he says as these men were going away jesus began to speak to the crowd about john This is john the baptist What did you see? What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A read By the wind a read shaken by the wind First eight, but what did you go out to see a man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in king's palaces now I'm looking at the nasb some of your versions might not say soft clothing might say fine clothing But I wanted to highlight this because the same word this used here for soft clothing I'll highlight it look down at the bottom is the same word malacos or in this word in this word Malacaca which is the same thing soft It is where we also derive this homosexual feelings from this softest of a man And so god is not after that at all I'm saying that in relation to the pictures that he's taking again Let's go back and look at these are again these are his pictures and there's more I'm not going to spend a lot a lot of time on on his wardrobe But these are him these are his pictures that he pokes into that he thought that that we all should see this that we should be proud of this And this is just not to me again. I get it. It's 2021 soon to be 2022 First of all if you catch me wearing this We got a problem. My wife is not going to be too happy with that as well And so you see these these these pictures and uh, I'll be honest with you That's not my my biggest concern But it does raise a red flag And so if you've got a man who is saying that he is advocating for men we should be advocating for men being with men Then we got a problem now. I can say this And it's been asked. I don't know And so I don't know if he's gay or not But what I do know is he's not godly that behavior not just his clothes and his appearance But this arrogant haughty attitude where he is he is all of that He's a high-valued man and other men should ascribe to be that because what you're going to find out about him Is that he doesn't speak a whole lot about the internal things he speaks about the external things And he talks about how what a high-valued man is he's given his definitions I don't have them all written down, but I know one he talked about how A high-valued man is a man Uh of worth to someone and he makes about he said it was kind of odd $10,000 a year in Atlanta dollars I guess that's where he's in Atlanta So you adjust that if you are in New York or California or Texas or or Tennessee or wherever And so I thought that was kind of odd Because so you have to make $10,000 a year to be a high-valued man. The question is value to who Who is looking for that kind of men because I know some women who are perfectly happy with their man Who though he doesn't make a hundred thousand year. Maybe he makes 50,000 Maybe he makes 60,000, but he loves her he takes care of her The first thing you say that even remotely looks like you are insulting her you got a fist of the mouth, right Where are some of these so-called high-diamond?  So I don't think a woman is necessary after Some are after uh high high income I don't think that's what at least a real woman is what they really want a security And it may not necessarily be financial security I know a lot of women who are perfectly happy with a man who doesn't make a lot of money and I always think back I don't know why I do Um, but you know growing up in the 70s always think about uh good times and james evans and he was poor But sure but listen florida loved him Women are gonna love the man who loves her And so this guy Is portraying a picture that is completely ungodly. It's unhealthy. It is unbiblical And so my question then is and and he's mentioned about different churches and christian women and so forth and made me wonder Is he a believer? Well, he made a statement about talking to someone about adam and eve being married because He asked her was adam and eve married and she said yes and and he and he was just being flipping and silly And and kind of sending and say well who performed the who performed the wedding ceremony simba Well, we'll let we'll let you ask god that question when you meet him because listen And I don't know if he's ever watched you're gonna watch he probably won't he's got too many You know too much to do bigger fish to fry than worrying about somebody like me But if he does or anyone else You're going to meet god at some point in time Ain't no if ands buts about it And I can promise you this the selfies that you're taking the clothes that you're wearing that ain't going with you You are going to meet god naked as you can be Bear before the lord and ask him who performed the ceremony ask him Was adam and eve married as a matter of fact, let's go look for ourselves and we'll see Let's uh, let's see. Let's look over on this And I just pulled up a couple passages that have to talk about adam and eve being married genesis 224 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife His wife and they should become one flesh and the man and his wife were both naked Chapter three verse six. They heard the sound of the lord got walking in the garden In the cool of the day and the man and his wife Chapter three verse 17 because you have listened to the voice of your wife and so I don't want to Um harp on the fact that he's not a christian given advice But when you're making fun of making light of uh christian views, well then Now we got a problem now. I want to see you. I want to talk to you a little bit and He's one of these guys who tries to Clearly he's trying to impress people and people who like that. They are impressed. So he is I guess he's a life coach and listen If you are looking for a life coach what you really need to be looking for is jesus and you need to be looking for him desperately The only person that can tell you how to be a better person better woman or better man Is god We've got these biblical principles that are laid out And if you want to have an example of someone in today who fits that bill who looks that way Well, then find a biblically base or sound man or woman There are plenty of them out there and guess what they don't necessarily fit the the criteria that he has laid out as a High-value man or woman. That's not him. Uh him talking about shacking up and hooking up and so forth Let him do that God is going to deal with him This because let me let me tell you what what a high value what a real man is like and what he's not like See a godly man Isn't only concerned about what others see or think about him. No, that's what a child does A godly man is not interested in how much money he makes He's really concerned about really the worth of his family That's what a high value man a man of worth is because let me just be honest with you I'm going to say something that's going to be striking and cutting But I want you to hear this and if anyone can get this message to him, please do But here's the truth. Kevin samuels on your best day. You are some trash Is that kind of rough?    Well, let me just say this I haven't said everything about my past For good reason because it's not all that important but in the past I own and operated an investment firm I was I was a managing prince principal of an investment firm with with a couple offices and a lot of different people working for me And in terms of what looked like a high value man I would probably qualify as that on you know, because really what he's talking about He's not really talking about a real man. He's really talking about a resume Someone who looks good on paper And so on paper and I think someone said that his network is around three million Well in those days when things were going well for me Kevin, I just pulled out a card I would bought you and your network I'm just being honest what I have considered myself to be a high value man looking back. No The the the cost of the suits that I had or what I could buy I think that for a lot of people looking on outside on the outside looking in it would have looked impressive but Spiritually in a godly sense not at all not at all. And so I was put in time out so to speak things I found myself in in sin. And so I could not maintain this this high value sort of lifestyle What I found out though Kevin was this anyone else What my wife and what my children wanted more than anything else wasn't the dollars Wasn't what I could what I could provide for them in terms of monetary Now don't get me wrong. My wife wants to be able to hit the light switch and the lights come on She wants to be able to turn on the water and water flows through Want that but at the same time what she really wanted more than anything else was just me here Was my kids be there? And so here you've got a guy who was teaching folks about how to be Or how to have these these high values so to speak relationships when you're not a mass Reddit And so he'll say well, yeah, but but when people listen to me They end up hooking up and so forth and I think he even did a video where he was talking about that Well, listen, you create an atmosphere and a place in the space one I think it's at facebook where people can get together and meet up. Well the clubs do that every day Right, you can go to you can go to a church and do that Businesses when people work together they meet up and so you haven't done anything special But you have portrayed or given the wrong view the wrong image of what a high value man is See a high value man loves the lord a high value man Let's be honest is known by the lord a high value man is a man who god finds value And he can use that man in his home in his community and in the world He may not make ten thousand dollars. That's fine. That's fine You make all the riches that you want to and then let's just see how how happy you are Because when I look at you I can tell I can see the insecurity coming down I saw an interview that that Kevin did where In this interview they were asking about his sexuality Normally he controls the atmosphere. He controls the conversations In his little dialogue that he's doing From his from his channel. Well when he does that He's in control He's he controls the narrative, but in this one you start seeing some things and and one of the things that we should teach people at our office When a new broker a new financial advisor came over We would talk to them about how you sell to people and how you talk to people How you communicate to them convey to them that they ought to buy this stock this bond this financial planning This wealth planning that we're offering Well, what happens is this when the person is nervous They start doing some things they start inserting phrases to Search for or find time and say what they want to say and they'll say things like like like like like like or you know, you know, you know Now every now and then that's fine But when you keep finding these little verbal placeholders like that it's because they're nervous and they're trying to figure things out Well, he's being asked these questions. And so his insecurity shows up because he's not in control anymore A person who like him he has his personality style called expressive and expressive people They want one thing their main need is attention. And so kevin samuels needs attention He's not going to shy away from it.  I think best case scenario best case scenario, excuse me Is that he wants He wants all the world and all that comes with it and wants to show you how to do the same thing Or worst case scenario, this is what I think is that He wants all that for himself and he wants to use others to get there That's probably what it is because people who think highly of themselves Aren't usually in the benefit of wanting to help others because who's the greatest example of someone who has a me Problem an eye problem. It's all about me. It's all about I Y'all know satan Most people like that they're selfish and so they don't have time to Think about you little chipmunks, right? He's out there trying to get his own nuts. And so he don't have any problem He don't have any time with mess with you other chipmunks, right? so He is someone who is clearly to be avoided now If you find yourself looking to somebody like that because you're impressed with either his clothes his his style With his with his I don't know if you're impressed with his money or not If you're impressed with his cars the way he does things So be it. Hey, listen, uh, if that's what um If that's what floats your boat, um have at it Knock your socks off by listening to him But you're gonna find out that you won't get very far. I can promise you that You you've got men out there and and and I kind of talk myself into doing this Who are not just catered to one particular set of society But men who are intentionally unintentionally being used by satan To portray what it means to be a man or what it means to be a woman or what it means to be Productive citizen in this in this country, right? You've got the Kevin sams of the world who wants to do so by style and by appearances And what did Jesus say about men who? Look good on the outside. They're like White wash tombs. They look nice on the outside, but on the inside.  So we see that with this brother because clearly something is going on on the inside And so when you've got a person who Looks down on the people some say it openly Some kind of to themselves, but it's the way they they speak and so it's even causing to take a second Look at do I want to do this deal even with uh with this other guy? Joe rogan and people of the like who Look down on christianity and they may take their philosophy or their Their ideas and say that all of us are wrong The world wants you to believe that you are wrong That the way you should be as a man a godly man is wrong the way that you should be as a godly woman That's wrong the way you should look at the bible That's wrong the way you should even even think about it. Is there even a jesus in heaven? Is there a god? That's wrong. The world wants to change the way you think they want to change the way you Way you think bit by bit little by little from the way that you dress From um, how you spend what you watch what you what and who you listen to and so that is the the goal of Excuse me of the world. So Let me say this and this is the the better point The issue is what is a real man? The issue is what is a high value man? Well That starts and ends with jesus Because if you don't know him you don't know anything He talks about being or someone being average And telling women known for telling women that on your best day your average. Well, okay fine I think since most of the world Most of the world Is against christianity most of the world is not they're not believers Well, that means the the average person on the planet is a non christian So if you want to be above average, well, then what do you do? You'd be a christian You don't become a christian because you want to use that as some sort of Criteria something to hold above someone's head. But if you want to be above average, you want to follow christ, right? And so I don't know if I would consider myself a high value man That beats up someone else to decide mainly my wife and my children And if anyone else Thinks differently That's fine You are you are more than welcome to think that I'm a low-value person now. I will say this I had been offered a few times by some people To come and and consult with them or to consult for them to help them build their investment firm And I'm talking about to the tune to where I would make millions I hadn't told my wife about this Because it's a non-starter for me I'm out of that lifestyle and if that means that I only make this much money when I could make that much money That's fine. Could I go out and make? Legitimately millions upon millions of dollars advising folks and and consulting investment firms. I could no problem Could I help them grow? I could no problem. But is that what god has for me to do?  The bible says that david rested when his purpose was fulfilled and so When I rest when I die I want to be able to know that my purpose was fulfilled that I did what god placed me here to do Principally with my family with my wife and children. That's where my greatest value is right? And so if you are a woman if you are a man if you're single and I've been getting these these requests And so we're going to do it About how to live as a single man or a single woman and even how you because everyone let's be honest If you're single you probably still want to be with someone and so we'll cover that We'll deal with that and we'll do so in a godly fashion. I'll let you know when it's going to happen Uh, and we'll do so that where we'll take take phone call not phone calls We'll have folks online to to kind of come on board and we'll sit and talk and we'll chit chat and we'll just go Over the scriptures of how to be a single man or single woman and how to find you um A wife or a husband the biblical way without having to make $10,000 a month Without having to be well connected without having to hang around other people that you think are high value people without other So-called high value people promoting you. I knew Very wealthy people obviously in my in my line of work as a as an investment banking and financial biasing Who had millions of dollars and they weren't most of the millions that I that I dealt with They didn't even let folks know that they had money but And I don't know maybe it's a cultural thing where nowadays some folks when they have money They want to flaunt it which means you're probably not going to have that much money going forward because you got to Continue this charade. You got to keep this face going. So because man, did you hear what happened to Kevin? Yeah, man, he had to he had to sell that house He had to this and that and and so the danger is when you're so worried about that You got to do anything everything to keep that and he mentioned how um High net worth people the divorce rate is lower than it is with people of lower network. Well, that's true But guess what's higher in the high net worth community? The level of infidelity if you think infidelity is bad amongst us regular people Well, it's even higher amongst the high net worth people Why because they're staying married in many cases just for the finances. It's an economic It's a it's a choice of economics. And so they're not very happy Because what is a suicide rate amongst the wealthy? It's higher than the average of Low-income people Isn't that funny because money doesn't buy you happiness You can have a big house and not want to go home. You can have this large bed and not want to sleep in it, right? You've heard the different analogies.   That's fine. That's fine I'm high value enough to not care I'm high value enough to know what he thinks about And what he wants and so that will be the thing that I promote But i'll say this to someone like kevin or anyone else Who may think that i'm wrong or who still kind of wants to live that lifestyle Could you imagine could you imagine? If all the things the true things that you're saying and all the energy and all the effort that you're putting into all of this stuff Could you imagine if god Was your lord if jesus was your lord? How he could use you in that regard I think that would be just awesome, right? So I wanted to cover that. I wanted to say that And and I want to put it out there. I know I might get some I want to say I might get some smoke from some folks later, but uh, so you know my history in my past That didn't bother me. Let me ask a couple of these questions Shana, thomas says have you done teaching on marriage divorce and remarriage? If not, you should do a video You know what shana? We're gonna cover that Um Not sure when as I said we're gonna talk we're gonna do something in the next week or two For singles and I haven't decided if it's going to be Singles together or just single men then single women having decided I will let you know so you all kind of say say Post it on that Let's see Let me see what the one says he says the impetus in your heart that can't seem to be filled by anything That's the spot for jesus christ. Hey man.

You guys be blessed. Y'all tell kevin samu as I said, hey


And this game for more thoughts from Barclay Center now, let's send it back out to Ryan Ruko and Sarah Kustak. Well, thanks a lot, Bob. It certainly was an eventful and unorthodox evening at Barclay Center. Bob and Frank have talked so much about the Kevin Durant situation. Sarah, beginning of the game, we know the Nets have had trouble locking in defensively against sub 500 teams especially. We saw that out of the gates. They allowed 17 fast break points in the first quarter. We know that they need to make sure not to sleepwalk in the beginning of games and then turn it on against the lesser opponents, if you will, or teams with poor records. However, I do wonder if the Durant situation played a role for them getting a slow start out of the gates tonight. And it can be both things, right?  So think about the fact that against this Toronto team, the areas that they thrive are creating points off turnovers. They will put pressure on you for the defensive on the defensive end to generate their offense. And they did that right out of the gates. So you're looking at that first quarter, they were already in double digits in terms of points off turnovers, fast break points. They were fishing from the three point line. And those are the areas that the Nets struggle in general. And they did especially down the stretch as well. And so when you put yourself in a hole like that, of course, Kevin Durant comes back, the Nets are able to maintain a situation where it's really a one possession game, give or take, going into the half, coming out of the half. But those are still areas that you have to understand the type of focus that is needed throughout the duration of the entire game. How about the defensive job that Nick Nurse did in his orchestration tonight? Because I mean, you look at it, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, even Kevin Durant to a certain degree in the minutes he played, they just did not get the shot attempts you're used to seeing from them. How much of that was just behind the brain of Nick Nurse and what he designed for tonight? This is a part of what Nick Nurse does. He also has a personnel to be able to execute these type of things. So the experimentation on defense is less of that and more about these Raptors guys are accustomed to playing these type of defenses. So we saw so much box in one, some triangle in two, some different looks at which they were doubling, whether it was Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, James Harden. I mean, the fact that James Harden has eight field goal attempts, Kyrie Irving with 12, and did they do a good job of making the right play and getting the ball to open teammates and playing the type of basketball you anticipate on them, absolutely. But because of it, it played into the hands of exactly what the Raptors were trying to do. They were trying to eliminate looks from those key players. They did just that and the game plan worked. Now, obviously the game against Philadelphia looks a lot different if Kevin Durant is or isn't a part of it, Sarah. This is a team that has been the best team in the East out of the gates this season. We have seen the Nets rise to the occasion whenever they face top competition and that's gonna be another test for them. It could be a particularly unusual test depending on Durant's status, also second half of back to back. But the Nets have been up to these challenges this season. They have and it's gonna be an interesting look given the fact that Philadelphia came off of a tough loss the other night to Portland. Very undermanned Portland team, Joellen Bied went off though and we know that Nets have shown a propensity to have a difficult time in defending big men and Joellen Bied, someone who could be a front runner for an MVP candidate has been playing out of his mind. Ben Simmons did not play the other night due to injury. We'll see if he is back in the lineup but Philadelphia has got a mix of a lot of things to go along with Joellen Bied including shooters so it certainly is not gonna be an easy one for the Nets to walk into whether Kevin Durant is in the lineup or is not with them. Another marquee matchup on yes tomorrow night between the Nets and the Sixers as we get back to you guys in the studio.


I also use other materials in the classroom or materials that are available to me to also demonstrate to my students the difference in measurement. This is a wooden block of knob cylinders. There are 10 knob cylinders on each of these blocks. With this material, there's always a direct and indirect purpose. The direct purpose is to show the students the difference in their dimensions and the difference in weight. The indirect purpose of the materials is to show the children how to pick up a cylinder and how they hold the cylinder. This prepares them for a pencil grip when they're ready to write. So these are our knob cylinders. These knob cylinders vary from big to small. So I'm going to take them out of my cylinder block and they vary from left to right, big to small, and that is how they're learning from big to small. The tactile is important. They are going to touch and feel and see the big cylinder and the small cylinder. So that's how they learn about measurement. Then what we're going to do is now we're going to ask the student to feel the socket with his finger and to see which we're going to mix up the cylinders. And then the students have to find out which cylinder belongs and to which socket. Tactile is important because we want them to use their sense. And the most important part of this lesson is we want them to be used to be fully attentive to the lessons. So we are asking them to put the cylinders in without his sound. By doing this, we are teaching them the most important skill that they need to use. They need to give us their full attention by using all of their senses because they need to concentrate. Notice how the students have to pick up the knob cylinders just like they're going to be holding a pencil when they start writing. So this cylinder block is from the biggest to the smallest. Then we can get another block that is from the shortest to the tallest. And that's another way of teaching measurements from the shortest to the tallest. So all these cylinders, they're the same in diameter, but they vary in height because now they go from short to tall. The same what we did with the cylinder, we teach the children how to pick up the cylinder blocks, blocks and put them in one at a time into the socket without a sound. So my students will learn to have full concentration when they're doing this knob to the cylinders because first of all they need to find the size, they need to find the right socket. And most importantly they have to make sure that they're putting the cylinders back without a sound. That I am teaching them now to use all of their senses. I'm calling their attention to use all of their senses. And that's how students learn I think with all of their senses. Thank you.


So, ladies and gentlemen, let us talk about the module 144. The very important understanding is innovation without information constraints, a constraints. There are mostly in the project, there are three constraints, sometimes four constraints, time, cost, scope is the constraint, but in innovation, there are information constraints. What sort of information constraint could be? I innovate something, I develop an idea, but the acceptability by the audience is the real constraint. For example, people who have mobiles, but they are not familiar to app, people have mobile, but they are not familiar to online buying. People are, people having the mobile, but they are not familiar to app, until they don't want to, I mean have the financial interaction, I mean they want to talk to banks, they can't relate to banks, they can't scan, they have paper money, they can't have a visa card of the bank, they can't have a debit card, so cashless society, where cash will be, cash on delivery will be difficult, so what will you do to get it? You need cash on delivery, so for that mechanism, your costs will be incurred, when it is incurred for that, you will have to ridicule it, you will have to check it, you will have to develop more formalities, that what will we be taking delivery costs, and then where will our price be collected, because if the banking transaction is there, then I have given a direct product and a bank, when I have given the product to the bank, and my money comes to me, within 5 seconds, I have developed a balance sheet, now I have to go to the delivery boy, delivery boy has money, when they come, they get a little less, balance sheet is not balanced, I have money, they share the loss, and then when I see the product, then I don't think the project is viable, feasible, so these are the information, one of the example of the information constraint, then is the organization, communities, and innovation, when information costs zero, so let's learn about it, innovation traditionally take place within organization boundaries, and with selected patterns, one, information is expensive to process, two, second the organization theories, rely mostly on at least on prevailing assumptions, two, together information processing storage, and communication represent the three primary component of the information usage, one, here is the strategic partner from top to bottom, if I see, that's called the chandrarian or chandrarian logic, abis logic imutabek top to bottom, your bottom to ab deki, main bottom to ab chaltam, user, developers, labor markets, technical contributors, strategic planners, if I comes out of it and then it comes to the strategic partner, technical contributors, labor marketplace, developer, user, so ultimately it is comprised of community engagements increase, when information constraint must be reduced, so that the community engagement increases, this is the whole crux of the matter, when innovation without information constraint, it goes to the labor, without information kya hoga, vya hoga, labor marketplace me problem aega, micro job and enables only or community rating schemes or digital monitoring me problem aega, then with information constraint all internal or to the firm or specialized contracting through TAM agencies and contractor, second long term engagements and large scale projects, difficult performance quality and control monitoring, second is the developers organization to developer contracting, select few high maintenance relationship between the organization and developers, significant case by case, IP conditions and negotiation, third is embedded applications, preloads executed by engineering teams, then is a user, user engage almost exclusively through the customer service representatives, what are the inputs in that case, inputs are primarily consumer complaints or repair request or internal input are avoided, so in that case vice versa, the without information constraint kya hoga, so product and design deliverables with a value orientation, ye apke pas jaar aoga, so this is the boundaries, boundaries ke saamne aapne dekh liya, kya aapne maximum aapne employee side bhi dekh liye and then aapne organization side dekh liye, so it condense to the strategy and the boundless models, then it comes to the inter dependence and the community engagement, so as I have discussed already, then it comes to the four quadrant where leadership, identity, search and intellectual property, then it comes to the variation selection and retention by the communities as I already discussed in a detail, so here it gives you the overall informational constraint lock and move into the different place, whether the innovation without information could be constrained, thank you very much.


But Aaron Nola has been just fantastic. We showed you the numbers on Max Scherzer. Scherzer is great. He's the best pitcher in the National League. Well, Aaron Nola should be getting more talk, should be getting more consideration about where he stands in this young race. And I know Scherzer is great. And I know DeBron has been great. But why aren't we talking about Aaron Nola, sweet dog? I mean, why aren't we talking about this guy? He is a legitimate ace. Yeah, we should. And he does. He acts the part. He has a calmness on the mound that you fall in love with. As a hitter, like Train said, you're on your heels because it's any pitch at any time. So you're looking at him and saying, how do I attack him? Because it's both sides of the plate. He can move the ball over.  So when it comes down to it, how do you attack Aaron Nola? He has allowed 10 fewer home runs than last year. That's the difference to me because this is a yard where I think everyone feels like a power hitter. And he attacks. He goes on the attack. And I think Rick Cranitz has been unbelievable. You've been around him. He's the pitching coach that's made a difference in this pitching staff. I agree 1,000%. And I'll run through a wall for Rick Cranitz. And he demands that from his staff. He's had a ton of experience of working with young staff. He did it in Miami. He did it in Milwaukee when they had that great run. So I thought that was a great pickup for their coach and staff moving forward. And in Nola, this attacks everybody. He's not afraid of the contact. He trusts his defense. It keeps his defense on their toes so they make great plays behind them. And for him to get a ton of swinging misses in that ballpark, I hit a ball on the second deck of that ballpark myself. So for him to get the swinging misses, it's amazing. And he got kind of a cluber-esque way about himself where he wants to be pitch efficient and tacky. He doesn't want to waste pitches. Strike one, strike two, strike three. And that's how he works, man. And I love the way he goes about it. That's an interesting comp. I hadn't thought about that, but it's a good call. The way he goes about his business, I like that. And by the way, one other note, talk about Cranis. How about the way they're managing him? Beginning of the year, the purse strings real tight. Now it's like, go, man. I talked to Rick Cranis in Cranis and that's how much cache he had in the locker room. He's like, hey, we can't mess with this kid like this. He is a bona fide ace. Let's take the reins off of him and build them up. You just don't get to be an ace overnight. You have to learn how to be pitch efficient. And that's what he's doing. Even though the strikeouts are down, he wants to get deeper in the ballgame so that he can save his bullpen. And you can make a lot of money like that. I stole a lot of money going deep in ballgames like that. Nole is outstanding right in that Saiyung race, certainly in the national league.


The Gerald Ford Presidential Fellowship has meant a lot to me personally. It's felt like a real honor to uphold Gerald Ford's legacy. He was a huge supporter of the state of Michigan and giving back to his home and that's part of the fellowship that feels really special to me. I love Michigan and it's my home and I want to enact change here and so I think that's a really special part of this fellowship. Financial support has really allowed me to make the very most of my time here at the University of Michigan. I've really been able to dive super deep into all of my studies and into the community here and the surrounding community in ways that I wouldn't be able to if I had financial concerns while I was here as well. This fellowship has really helped to set me up for my future career. One huge way that it's done this is by allowing me to take an unpaid internship with the City of Detroit Mayor's Office this summer and I've really been able to kind of experience firsthand and on the ground a lot of the things that I've learned about in my coursework last year have been really an exciting part of the urban revitalization and the really incredible work that's happening in Detroit. So all of those experiences in the city have really helped to help me kind of think about what I'm going to want to do going forward. I am a native Michigander, I grew up in Metro Detroit. A lot of my family, three of my four grandparents lived in Detroit, raised families in Detroit, had businesses in Detroit and I moved away to do some work in New York City and being back has felt really incredible so to be back home and sort of devoting my energy and the skills that I'm learning to Detroit which is a city that I love and a city that feels like home means a lot to me.


All right They all run up at the same time as slam down at the same time. I never break credit right before. You can see location. I set the gun and then I stopped taking the tripod. And then I just smiled at them.  Okay Would they have a with their gun team be open to like showing us the way they do it? Like would they be cool with that? They'd be okay with that. Is it okay if I get closer sergeant? No, I don't care. You go first. Appreciate it, sergeant. You stop. One, two, three, go. Let's watch and shoot. They're gonna take position or like pressing, but they never act like 360 security or like being like in that like full like. Okay. They prefer to be like this like the way like 360 security and like where's the location of pressing move like. Do they ever use their machine their machine guns to set up like that? Like if they were going to attack a position, they would in place the guns just solely on that position. So that let's say that that was simulating just to make sure we have some background. I was simulating that there's where we're attacking a position, right? And so there's another part of the platoon that is somewhere else. Who is actually going to attack the position and they're suppressing that enemy. So that makes them support my firing. They think of a support my firing. I don't think they're going to take two, uh, two guns. Okay. How many of these do we have? Three more 7.6, three. Just a few. This is it, right? All of the things. Ah, wait, Theo's got some, okay. We've got some more right here. Ah, just five. Buy, buy no, buy no lah. Yeah, they've got it in, uh, what we had before. Thank you so much. Why don't they give you all, uh... Thank you so much. Lim, get out!
