happy Monday it is currently 453 a.m. I actually just pulled into the parking lot of boot camp I get asked a lot do we work out outside yes year round we work out outside it is 34 degrees so it's going to be a little bit of a cold workout so I usually bundle up thicker leggings a sweatshirt a workout top I've got a few layers on I've got gloves so I'm usually fine once we get moving and my body warms up I'm usually sweaty by the end of my workout but yes we are outside year round Monday Wednesday Friday or total body days so those are the days that I come so that I can focus on lifting heavier weights and really focus on muscle building and strength training in the gym the rest of the week so it actually works out really good for me gets in my cardio for the day and one thing I love about it even though it's early and I have to get up at 4 a.m. is that my workout is done by 6 a.m. and I have the whole day to do other things and that just gets my workout out of the way because I know myself I'm not going to work out at night because I go to bed early to get up early so this just actually is perfect for me the workouts are different every time so if you can find a boot camp in your area or some type of group training or group exercise I recommend it it's a great way for community it's a great way to build community and meet friends and of course have accountability to get your workout in so I am going to grab my weights grab my mat everybody should be here in the next couple of minutes I did make my protein coffee this morning I drank about half of it I'll finish that when I get home and get ready for the day I have some good recipes for you guys today we're going to make those halo top cookies that I shared in my grocery home we're going to see if they're any good because that could be a huge sweet treat cookie a game changer I'm going to be cleaning out my closet I need to do another donation run because I have quite a few clothes that are too big we just have a really exciting day today so I'll see you guys at breakfast it is time for breakfast I am so incredibly hungry I actually just finished getting ready for the day and I saw this recipe on Instagram on a reel and I screenshotted it because I thought because I was really excited to try this this is an air fryer oatmeal pancake oatmeal cookie for breakfast so let me show you what you'll need for the recipe you're going to need a small banana about a third of a cup of banana mine's frozen because I keep these in the freezer for smoothie so I'm going to defrost this a little bit in the microwave cinnamon is optional I love cinnamon so I'm adding cinnamon you're going to need about a tablespoon of milk a tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce or oil whatever you prefer I'm going to go with unsweetened applesauce rolled oats baking powder and then chips of your choice I have the lilies salted caramel chips you could do chocolate chips white chocolate chips whatever you would like so I have the recipe pulled up here on my phone it's actually from hay underscore r n e you in the at symbol I'll put her information here on the screen for you where I got this recipe if you want to follow her over on Instagram but basically we're going to mix everything together flatten it out in a cookie shape and throw it in the air fryer so I have my banana I'm going to add half of a cup of rolled oats a teaspoon of baking powder and a tablespoon each of unsweetened applesauce and milk and then I'm going to add cinnamon I love cinnamon so I'm going to put about a teaspoon of cinnamon I'm going to throw in 20 of the lilies salted caramel chips we're going to mix that together kind of smashing up the banana that's going to be a big portion of the liquid to form this into the cookie so I sprayed the bottom of my air fryer with some nonstick cooking spray I'm going to put in my oatmeal mixture and then I'm just going to pat it down into a pancake or cookie shape in the bottom of my air fryer now you can make this in the oven as well so here is what it looks like you're putting it into your warmed up air fryer or your oven at 350 degrees for about six minutes if you're cooking this in the oven you're going to want to cook it for about 10 to 11 minutes while my breakfast cookie is in the air fryer I'm going to mix up my motivate amino this is my post workout recovery I absolutely love this I have the flavor pineapple mango this is so great after a workout even if it's not an intense workout it's still important to supplement with some bcaas and some supplements to really help with soreness fatigue muscle fatigue it also helps your muscles grow lean muscle or whether you're trying to build muscle or not it's important to supplement after any type of workout always take my motivate bcaa my motivate amino after every workout I like to mix it up with my little handheld frother I bought this on amazon I will link it down below for you you know how much I love the motivate supplement speaking of motivate I do have a brand new flavor of the burn that we're going to try a little bit later this morning and then I want to talk to you guys a little bit about the non-stem version of the burn because I've been getting a lot of questions on that but this I highly recommend post workout it is sugar-free it is zero points on w w it tastes amazing and it's really going to help with your recovery after a workout all right there it is doesn't that look so incredibly delicious I am going to just pop it out with my spatula put it here on my little love plate and she recommended just a little bit of sugar-free maple syrup she said it can be on the dry side mine feels really moist like it was a little bit hard to get out of the air fryer but I am going to put about a tablespoon of sugar-free syrup this looks so good I can't wait to try it all right let's see if tiktok did us dirty or if this is as good as it claims it's delicious oh my goodness it's actually really really good the air fryer put a little bit of that crisp on the oats you would also get that through an oven as well the banana adds a nice sweetness the the chips add a little bit more sweetness the cinnamon gives it a tiny bit of a savory flavor so I definitely would recommend the cinnamon this is 100 more of a sweet breakfast than a savory breakfast but it's really really good you could add so many different things to this you could throw nuts in here chia seed flax seeds you could make it savory by adding in maybe some green onions or onion or vegetables there's a lot of things that you can do just kind of with the oatmeal base 10 out of 10 it's really good why are you under my desk Palmer Palmer would you like to oh hi yes hi oh yeah you're really cute you are the cutest you little fudgy bulldog yes you are yes you are you're pretty cute too squirt I'm going to make a morning snack and I'm going to do some cottage cheese my breakfast was a little bit more carb heavy post workout which is fantastic to kind of replenish those carbs have the rest of my protein coffee so I got in some protein as well so my snack is going to be a little bit more protein heavy so I'm going to do three quarters of a cup of good culture I have another container here because this one is almost gone and then we'll do 50 grams of blueberries that's going to give us a healthy carb and some fiber so I'm going to use my uba home bowl I've been sharing a lot with you guys about uba home I love them when we sit down to eat our morning snack I'll share with you some of my favorite products from the brand but what I love about this bowl is it has your measurements all the way from a quarter of a cup up to one and a half cups so you don't even have to measure it out you can just use the pre-measured portion controlled bowl so I want three quarters of a cup of cottage cheese so I'm just going to add that into my bowl up to the three quarter cup mark it makes it so easy especially if you're somewhere where you don't have a food scale like at work or out and about you can take these pre-portion bowls and measure it out directly into the bowl so there is three quarters cup of cottage cheese and 50 grams of blueberries but while I have my morning snack I want to share with you guys a little bit more about uba home I've been sharing it a lot in my what I eat today because I use their products all the time a lot of you have picked them up and you're loving them so like I mentioned this is the pre-portioned bowl I own three or four of these because when they get dirty I kind of panic because it's really easy to measure out things like cottage cheese fruit vegetables I mean anything that you would need to measure up to about a cup and a half these bowls come in really really handy another product that I love from them are their pre-portioned containers these actually have lids and again all of your measurements inside there's a red a yellow and a green so you could use the red for protein the yellow for fruit the green for vegetables or really however you want to use the products but this actually goes up to one and a half cups as well and then has the lid so it's a great way to pre-portion out your meals and snacks and take them with you again if you work outside the home if you're traveling they just come in really really handy and I really like that they are color coded they're really nice ceramic high quality material they are dishwasher safe and really just big game changers for portion control Troy and I are actually going to an all-day Jeep club event this Saturday and I am going to be taking both of these with me along with my silverware we'll talk about that next so that I can have healthy meals and snacks when we're out and about because we're probably going to be out in the middle of nowhere and I want to make sure that I have the foods that I need to eat to follow my plan with me so that leads me into the silverware I'm actually going to use the spoon today to eat my cottage cheese but you can see that these are small silverware so it really helps with how much you're eating per bite this is something I struggle with I'm a fast eater I just always shovel food in my face I would be done with my meal before Troy even finished half of his and these have really helped me slow down my eating they come in this nice silicone sleeve so you can take them with you again this will absolutely be coming with me on my little Jeep adventure with Troy on Saturday I'll do my best to get some footage and share it with you guys it'll be the first one that I've went to and the second little group event that Troy's went to similar to my boot camp it's been really good for him to go to these Jeep events with other people who have jeeps that way he's meeting people in the community and then having fun driving around and off-roading his Jeep as well and then the other item from uba home that you guys see constantly is my pre-portion plate I actually just ordered another one so I have four now and I love these they have three designated sections for your food I talk a lot about protein protein protein actually in my how to make it through the holidays video I talked about how I set up my plate eating my protein first vegetables carbs I'll link that video in case you missed it some really good valuable information and these plates lend to that perfectly what I like to do is put my protein in this big section here because that's really what I focus on vegetables and carbohydrates if you don't like your food touching this is another great tool for you but I really like this because it helps me focus on eating my protein first then my vegetables then my carbs and portioning out my meals I just really really love uba home it's really been a game changer for me in slowing down my eating with the silverware being able to easily measure out food you don't even have to have a food scale we measure at home take it with you to the office it's just such a fantastic company their products are so high quality and so affordable so I will make sure that I link uba home down below for you with the discount highly highly recommend at least picking up a few of the pieces they really are game changers for weight loss all righty it is time for lunch I made this the other day and it was so stinking good I've been craving it ever since so we're going to make it for lunch today and that's using the lavash flatbread I love this because there's a ton of protein in it there's omega threes which are a great source of healthy fat I just do one half of the lavash flatbread it is 100 calories for the whole one so it's only 50 calories and I'll show you the size of it when we put it together and then I'm going to do a slice of pepper jack cheese this is one of my favorite cheeses I just use full fat regular cheese and then one serving of the turkey out of this little pack from hillshire farm one teaspoon of carry gold butter which is by my stove and I make kind of a grilled wrap and then I'm going to have some berries I have blackberries and raspberries this is a fun hack if you store your berries in a mason jar they last forever one of the best ways to store berries and then I cut up a bunch of veggies to prep for the week I have celery carrots radishes cucumber so I'm going to have some fresh veggies so half of a piece of the joseph's lavash bread I mean this is really really good size so I just take half of that and then I'm going to put one serving of the oven roasted turkey breast I like to layer that on about half of the piece of the lavash bread and then my slice of pepper jack cheese and then just fold over the bread and then here's kind of what you have and then I lightly butter both sides before putting it into the pan just that tiny bit of real butter adds so much flavor and it gets it nice and crispy and here's my lunch one of the most beautiful colorful plates such a healthy lunch I'm telling you try this little melted cheese crispy wrap thing it is so so good I crave it I absolutely crave it and Troy's been really loving it too and then I have some blueberry blackberries and raspberries cucumbers radishes carrots all on my uba home plate it is seriously so nice to have all my food in its own designated spot I always focus on my protein first then veggies then carbs and the uba home plate just really helps me portion out my food correctly which is essential for weight loss so this is going to be my lunch for today and I couldn't be more excited are you being crazy get him willa get Palmer get him yeah get him he's taunting you with his baby so I have a coaching call in about 30 minutes and I'm going to mix up my motivate burn so I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about burn so you know that I use the motivate burn with stimulants so basically that means that this burn has about 300 milligrams of caffeine per serving that's what helps with focus energy burn fat burn helps keep you full between meals but it does have caffeine and I know that a lot of you are sensitive to caffeine and have reached out and asked me if motivate has a caffeine free option and they do that is the no stim burn now this one only comes in one flavor my amy lemonade but it is so good and it's all the burn benefits without the caffeine so if you're sensitive to caffeine I would highly recommend the no stim if you like that little bit of a caffeine boost the regular burn is great there are several flavors of the regular burn this one is new to me this is cotton candy I'm so excited to try this I actually just filled up my cup with water we're going to pop in a scoop of this and it's going to give me that little bit of a pick me up for the call and for the closet clean out because as soon as my calls over we're moving into my closet to clean it out so I'm going to mix myself up the regular motivate burn but don't forget that they do have the no stim that doesn't have caffeine in it the flavor of this one is really good it's a true lemonade flavor I really like it and like I said you're going to get the same benefits with the no stim is you do with the stem all the energy the focus the fat burn so I'm very excited to try out the cotton candy I have heard really really good things about it so I'm going to put a scoop in my water grab my little handheld frother mix that up and we'll test it out I will link motivate down below for you guys with 20% off such a good deal you know how much I love their products they're my all-time favorite another thing you guys ask me about side note is when do I take the burn generally midday as they pick me up now if I have two coffees in a day which is pretty common I'll use the no stim just because I don't need that much caffeine or if I want something before bed I'll pick the no stim but generally I use this as that little bit of mid-morning afternoon pick me up so both of these excellent options let me grab my handheld frother and let's mix up cotton candy it's literally the perfect cotton candy color look at that cotton candy pink all right let me mix her up really good I saw my ice in there from my amino my motivated amino earlier today so let's give it a first impression taste test cotton candy burn that's good it's kind of sweet kind of vanilla-y kind of fruity I don't know if I get cotton candy I don't know I mean cotton candy just has like a sugary sweet taste and that's really what this tastes like so yeah I guess it is true cotton candy I really like it and this is definitely going to power me through my afternoon okay we're in my closet we're gonna start this closet clean out I'm gonna flip you around kind of show you how things are laid out in my closet we're gonna go through everything make a big pile there is a women's shelter in green valley which is just about seven minutes from my house I always bring my clothing donations there so whatever I get rid of will be going to the women's shelter we're gonna try things on I know that there are several sweatshirts that I've had before I lost any weight and I've been hanging on to them sometimes I wear them to boot camp but I have so many clothes that it's not necessary to have sweatshirts that are 10 sizes too big so let's get into this closet clean out I have my motivate burn to keep me going so this shelf here are all of my workout tank tops and all of my skirts all my workout pants are on this bottom shelf the very bottom shelf is pants jeans and then for clothes I have all of my regular like shirts and things here really you too really all my shoes and then over here are all my sweatshirts jackets and then of course all of Troy's clothes I'm going to go ahead and start on the shelves I know that there's a few things that I can get rid of got rid of a few things I got rid of some shorts some workout tanks a couple of skirts the lighting in here is horrible we have teeny teeny little windows so let me go through like this part of my closet and that part of my closet and then I'll show you what I'm getting rid of we are going to try on some sweatshirts and you'll see exactly why we need to do this closet clean out okay so here's one sweatshirt I mean this is like a 3 XL and I am a medium now this is actually a beauty influencer that I watch I ordered her merch you can see it's like a dress on me I mean it's absolutely huge so this one's gotta go so here's this really old Victoria secret sweatshirt I have had this for about 10 years I think it is yeah it's a size extra large it is way too big for me it's time that it goes like I said I've literally had it forever also my Leavenworth sweatshirt I have so many before and after pictures in this I will pop some up here on the screen for you guys there's a gray one in the dryer that I'm going to get rid of too but I have a massive massive pile of donation all right two massive full garbage bags going to the local women's shelter I feel really good about this I was able to really kind of whittle down my clothes a little bit I actually have room now for new clothes that come in I did end up putting all of my shorts in one of these little cubbies because I had some shoes that I got rid of and I really just kind of whittled it down to the things that I wear all the time and if I haven't worn it during the winter season in Arizona which is short I'm probably not gonna wear it so I am feeling so much better and much more organized afternoon snack time so I'm gonna show you one of the little hacks that I like to do to get a little bit of extra protein I do need a little extra protein in my afternoon snack because my breakfast was so carb heavy so I'm going to do one of the oikos triple zero yogurts this has 15 grams of protein and then I like to mix in a tablespoon of the PB2 so that's going to give me another three grams of protein so that'll make this 18 grams instead of 15 grams and then I'm going to have two of these snackmates for kids these little pizza meat sticks these are really good by the way so I'm going to have two of those as well that'll give me some more protein so again I just mix one tablespoon in to my yogurt and this one's really good because it tastes kind of like peanut butter and jelly and again you're just getting in that little extra bit of protein for dinner tonight I'm making pasta we are doing creamy beef and elbows I'm really excited for this it's kind of a beef stroganoff meats hamburger helper kind of vibe so let me show you what's in the recipe first you're going to need some whole milk beef broth pasta of your choice as always I'm using fiber gourmet this is our go-to pasta however I am trying a new one stay tuned for it in the future in the future video but I love fiber gourmet 110 calories half the calories half the points of regular pasta 24 grams of fiber seven grams of protein really delicious taste just like regular pasta just much better for you I buy mine off of nettrition they sell all the different shapes that fiber gourmet makes at the lowest price so I will link nettrition down below for you salt and pepper and as always I'll link my gravity fed salt and pepper grinders they're off of amazon tomato sauce garlic powder onion powder light shredded cheese and 96% extra lean ground beef so into my caraway cookware skillet I can't rave about caraway enough I will of course link it down below for you this is their big skillet I love their cookware I am adding my pound of 96% extra lean ground beef we're going to break that up and allow it to start browning once your ground beef starts browning we're going to add salt pepper garlic salt and onion salt I think I said garlic and onion salt and I meant garlic and onion powder not salt then we're going to add in two cups of beef broth a can of tomato sauce our box of fiber gourmet pasta give that a quick stir we just want to make sure that all of our pasta is under the liquid if you find that you need additional liquid to cook your pasta all the way through you can always add in a little bit more beef broth we are going to put the lid on and allow this to come to a boil and cook the pasta so I decided to add a veggie to the pasta so it is cooking along we still have a ways to go but I did grab out a bag of frozen peas out of my freezer and I'm going to throw them in there I thought we might as well add in a veggie I was hoping that I had a non-star sheet frozen vegetable like green beans but I didn't so we're going to go ahead and throw in that bag of frozen peas that way it has a chance to soften and warm the peas through while it cooks the rest of the pasta I'm going to add in half of a cup of whole milk that's what's going to make this nice and creamy and then we're going to add in one cup of light shredded cheese we need two cups total one cup will be mixed into the pasta and the other cup will go on top just allow that cheese to melt and the milk that we added to get warmed through then we're going to add that last cup right on top turn off the heat look at how good this looks it looks absolutely incredible this is a huge skillet of pasta it does make eight servings so I'm going to go ahead and dish up the serving and I'll be back to share points calories and macros and here is my dinner this looks amazing I cannot wait to dig in I'm pretty hungry so again all the information will be here on the screen for you we're going to make cookies I am so excited about this if you watched my grocery haul you know that I found this at Kroger they actually had halo top brownies and halo top cookie mix this is peanut butter chocolate chip it is 60 calories for the mix alone and then if you make it the way that it suggests which is three tablespoons of butter three tablespoons of margarine each cookie is 80 calories which is not bad at all I'm going to use real butter you can use light butter and that may knock it down a little bit but we're going to make some cookies and that's going to be dessert tonight and we're going to test these out we're going to see if it's worth it and if these are really good I will buy the brownie mix and we'll test that out and hopefully halo top will bring out more sweet treats all right so we're adding the pack of cookie mix to a bowl oh look at all the chocolate chips I am so excited to try this out you guys then we're adding three tablespoons of water three tablespoons of melted cooled butter do allow it to cool for a couple of minutes stir that all together I have my oven preheating to 350 degrees oh my gosh this smells so peanut buttery I'm so excited so the package says it makes 16 cookies so I'm going to use a fairly small cookie scoop and scoop out 16 cookies so I have 15 cookies because my lovely husband ate some of the dough and he said it is amazing he could not tell that this was a halo top or lower calorie lower sugar option so I am even more excited now we're going to pop these into the oven all right you guys halo top peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are out of the oven these look incredible I mean these are good sized cookies and they're only three points the way that I made them like I said you could use light butter maybe that would lower the points a little bit but 80 calories and three points for a full-sized cookie you cannot complain I'm going to let these cool and then we are going to taste test them I couldn't be more excited for this oh my goodness you guys shut the front door this is incredible this literally tastes like a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie I am not getting halo top I'm not getting low sugar oh my god it is so good it is so peanut buttery so chocolatey oh my gosh these are absolutely incredible wow serious mind-blown I can't wait to get the brownie mix and another bag of these cookies for today's what I eat in a day on WW I hope you enjoyed spending the day with me we made cookies we cleaned out the closet I shared with you my favorite supplements from motivate uba home everything is linked down below for you along with nutrition coaching links and discounts to my favorite things and my facebook group we would definitely love to have you over there don't forget to thumbs up the video if you enjoyed it and check out my recipe website for tonight's dinner recipe it was absolutely delicious thank you guys again for watching I hope you have an amazing Wednesday and I'll see you in the next one bye


guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Goldpony and today I'm quite excited for this one this is my first ever Miss Abishi review we are in the new 2020 Miss Abishi Eclipse Cross courtesy of Platinum Miss Abishi in Mechanicsburg PA and so besides it being my first ever review in a Miss Abishi this one is quite exciting because to start it has a very good name the Eclipse Cross of course with the Miss Abishi Eclipse being a legend back in the day bring it back Miss Abishi second of all comes with a great warranty five-year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper 10-year 100,000 mile powertrain so excellent there so what do you say let's go ahead and jump right into it and as always let's start with pricing and so there will be several different trim levels for the 2020 Eclipse Cross first one being the ES starting at $22,845 LE for $23,945 SE for $25,495 and lastly the SE L which is the one we have today of course starting at $26,995 and of course that was all actually pricing for the front wheel drive variant so if you wanted to go with the four-wheel drive variant actually Miss Abishi calls it super all-wheel control I'll explain that in a second year but that is going to add $1,600 to any of those prices I just gave you so real quick super all-wheel control what is that it is not all-wheel drive it is a four-wheel drive system and it was originally specifically developed for the 2007 Lancer Evolution and now is used on vehicles like the Outlander and the Eclipse Cross if you guys know anything about the Lancer Evolution you know that was Miss Abishi's rally car therefore with that being a rally car that all-wheel drive system had to be amazing with it being raced in snow and dirt and things like that so therefore quite a nice four-wheel drive system to come with the Eclipse Cross but so then when it comes to the power plant powering this beast is a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder putting out 152 horsepower at 5,500 rpm 184 pound-feet of torque available from the power band of 2,000 to 3,500 rpm again sent to front wheels or all wheels through a CVT giving you MPG numbers at 26 in the city 29 on the highway for the front wheel drive 25 city 26 highway for the four-wheel drive either way it does take regular unleaded fuel so that's certainly a plus to save you some money there did what I also mentioned since we're touching on fuel economy there's also an ego button just in front of the shifter there if you press that it's going to reduce the throttle response climate control things like that all in all the concepts there is to help you save even more MPGs if you wanted it so I would probably use that if you did a lot of highway driving that's certainly gonna help you out there but any who nonetheless let's go ahead and now turn that off and let's do a quick little acceleration here in the new 2020 misubishi eclipse cross and let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed right so you can definitely tell it is a CVT there was no real gear changes there because there aren't any but one of the main things I was actually looking for was turbo lag which I did not find so that is a good thing overall power was pretty much as expected certainly not gonna have any issues merging on to the highway so for me acceleration was just fine in the eclipse cross but to then to go along with that as always breaking is equally important up front you're gonna find 11.6 inch ventilated front discs in the back 11.9 inch solid rear discs and overall as far as the breaking feel goes I've had absolutely no issues today so breaking feel is quite nice touching on suspension and handling up front you're gonna get a McPherson strut front suspension with the stabilizer bar in the back a multi-link rear suspension again with the stabilizer bar and as far as the steering feel goes it's pretty much as expected I will say it is a little bit heavier of a weight to it which is nice comparatively speaking to some other SUVs that I've tested so as far as the steering feel goes it's definitely quite nice in the eclipse cross when it comes to ride quality so far so good at least in my short test drive today haven't hit too many obstacles or potholes of course but ride quality has been just fine so far cab noise is quite good as well the only thing I've really heard so far is some floor mats wrapped in plastic sliding around in the trunk but other than that new issues with cabin noise either and then touching on visibility visibility is fine I guess you could say after you kind of train your eyes not to look at that center bar that separates the upper and lower rear window back there but overall visibility actually isn't bad it's just that center bar is just somewhat distracting but I would imagine you would get used to that if you were to drive this on a daily basis but continuing visibility there's a couple features that help with forward visibility as well for instance a head-up display is going to be available if you wanted to go that route as well as rain sensing windshield wipers coming standard for the SE and SEL trim levels and those are pretty cool they're kind of like automatic headlights so if it were to start drizzling the eclipse cross would then sense that and automatically turn on the windshield wafers for you so you don't have to worry about flicking them on or anything like that so it's kind of one less thing you have to worry about focus more of your time on driving so that's kind of cool too but that kind of rounds out the performance segment of the eclipse cross let's go ahead and make our way to the exterior and let's check out this new 2020 miso-bishi eclipse cross and so now starting up front you will find silver and chrome accents if you were to go with the SE or SEL trim levels however if you want with the ES or LE those silver and chrome accents are going to simply be replaced by body color to accent so I'm sure that's going to look just as good but to the sides halogen headlights can be found on the ES, LE and SE trim levels if you wanted to go LED simply go with the SEL trim level that we have today however I did want to mention those LED headlights are available on the other trims as well some of the other trims as well so if you wanted to go with the lesser trim level but still wanted the LED headlights you can go that route if you wanted to either way automatic feature comes standard with the SE and SEL trim levels meaning when it starts to get dark out the headlights will turn on automatically for you there it's always nice just below fog lights standard on all trim levels there's actually a lot of SUVs out there these days that make fog lights either an option or they're going to be standard on upper trim levels as opposed to all of them so that's kind of nice that the eclipse cross did that also LED daytime running lights also standard on every single trim level but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the eclipse cross here looking up when it comes to those roof rails they are actually optional on the SE and SEL trim levels rear privacy glass is going to come standard for every single trim level as well as chrome window surrounds definitely nice that they put the chrome windows around to tie in with the chrome accents on the front of the eclipse cross there side mirrors when it comes to them you're going to get body colored side mirrors for the ESSE and SEL trim levels black side mirrors with the LE in the case I haven't mentioned it yet that LE is kind of the sportier trim level of the eclipse cross so to speak heated side mirrors come standard on all trim levels that's definitely a good thing and power folding side mirrors can be found in the SE and SEL and actually those integrated turn signals again with other SUVs they're going to be found on the higher trim levels but with the eclipse cross integrated LED turn signals are found on every single trim level that is awesome so any you let's back back out here and let's make our way to the wheel setup 16 inch alloy wheels can be found on the ES and there's actually a new design for 2020 so it's not what you're looking at right now of course but that is kind of cool 18 inch alloy wheels can be found on all other trim levels but the ES because I just mentioned that of course so 18 inch alloy wheels and all other trims last thing I wanted to mention as far as the side of the SUV goes is there is a shark fin antenna found on top for all trim levels but now let's make our way to the back here rear roof spoiler can be found on every single trim level as well as a rear window wiper just below in case you guys didn't notice a lot of manufacturers will put that rear window wiper on the glass but misubishi kind of hides it up underneath guys can see that underneath that spoiler there kind of like the Cadillac Escalade does or Chevy Suburban so I think it's kind of cool any you backing back out LED tail lights standard on every single trim level well done eclipse cross for that LED high mount stop light as well single exhaust outlet found just below tucked away for all trim levels so you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip it's up now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear hatch they simply just lift up underneath and that is how you're going to get that one open but once opened up cargo capacity is going to commit at 22.6 cubic feet if that was not enough space however those rear seats do fall down there is a 6040 split bumping the cubic feetness up to 48.9 so good bit of space back there and so since we're back here I did want to mention there is a cargo light back there there is no in-floor storage but in place of that you will find a full-size spare so that is going to be found in the back there grocery hooks also found back there and a massive Rockford Foskate subwoofer it is a beast I kind of like how you can see it as well so I can't wait to test out the sound system in a little bit here making your way to the back seats rear legroom comes in at 35.3 inches so for reference I'm in even six feet tall this is how much space I have back there if you wanted a rear center armrest with cupholders that can be found on the S-E and S-E-L turn levels heated rear seats are actually optional on the S-E-L we do happen to have that today that is awesome that is really a luxury feature usually find with a luxury manufacturer so that is pretty cool then you can also find of course a 12 volt power outlet for those rear passengers but perhaps the coolest thing that we had today at least there is a dual panel moonroof dual panel means the front seats get one and the rear passenger seats get one but it gets better than that a lot of times you have to control that rear panel moonroof from the front however those rear passengers can actually control that themselves there is a little button on the roof of the eclipse cross they can simply open that up or close it whenever they wanted to so that's one of the coolest things for the rear passengers at least but let's make our way to the front seats manually adjustable seats come with the E-S-L-E and S-E trim levels you will find an eight-way power adjustable driver seat if you want with the S-E-L heated front seats are going to come standard for all trims but the E-S then you have cloth seating for the E-S-L-E and S-E and leather seating for the S-E-L that's what you're looking at right now of course and I do like the copper accent stitching that can be found on these seats as well as well as the doors it ties in there too and overall the seats are quite comfortable I also like how there's vertical seams there's no horizontal seams the horizontal seams sometimes create awkward pressure points so the vertical seams are definitely the way to go in my opinion at least but taking a look up front at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping and will come leather wrapped for the S-E and S-E L trim levels and there's a nice piano black finish near the bottom as well as a fan of that and if you wanted it heated that is actually going to be an option for the S-E L trim level only so that is pretty cool and that's going to be there for you as well but now let's make our way to the startup and let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do have your misubishi logo on the one side and when you flip it over you have lock and unlock but to actually start this one up it is a turn key start with the exception of the S-E and S-E L trim level so therefore we do have a push button start today all I am going to do is simply just put my phone on the brake and press that engine start button located just to the right of the gauges there but so that what started up these gauges are actually pretty cool tachometers on your left speedometers on your right the pretty cool part is the intro that they give you when you first start up the eclipse cross there is a picture of the eclipse cross front and center so I thought that was pretty cool can of course check out your basic information up there outside temperature trip a trip b how many miles you have left until you have empty stuff like that but another cool thing about the eclipse cross is then when you turn it off it doesn't say goodbye like some of the other manufacturers do it says see you I like that it's different and it's kind of cool so well the fishy there I got to kick out of that overall interior quality that dual pain panoramic sunroof I keep mentioning it's optional on the S-E and S-E L trim levels dual zoom climate control is going to come with the S-E and S-E-L you're going to find a black headliner with the S-E-L that we have today also pretty nice as far as finishes go you do have some silver plastic around the shifter that carries on to just above the glove box and the doors as well I do kind of like the carbon fiber look around the window buttons on both the driver and passenger side doors that looks pretty cool that piano black finish that was talking about in steering wheel that carries on to right around the shifter so I don't mind that I see a couple of my fingerprints in there already but also just in front of the shifter you're going to find two usb charging ports there's a 12 volt power outlet once again little storage area just below that and is a rubberized storage area so things don't slide around there you also have an electronic parking brake to the right of the cupholders and by the way the cupholders are to the left of the electronic parking brake and just below that center armrest you're going to find a pretty deep storage area actually with a little tray there again with a carpet-like finish the things don't slide around once again but over also pretty nice finishes there so let's make our way to the tech display now front and center you're going to get a seven inch color touchscreen display for all trim levels and if you want with the le trim level and up there's also going to be a touch pad controller just kind of directly to the back right hand corner of the shifter touch pad controller kind of like lexus does actually it was pretty easy to use honestly i was playing around with that for a little bit so i think i would still prefer the touchscreen but that touch pad controller is kind of handy if you were to be driving so you don't have that long reach so that's pretty cool that that's there but either way bluetooth and audio streaming come standard on all trim levels android auto apple carplay also all trims but the es trim level that's how you're going to get that also you can check out your radio information of course and by the way when it comes to the sound system we'll find four speakers for the es and le and six speakers for the s e and s e l and there is actually an optional touring package that adds 2100 dollars that adds a rockford fosgate sound system with that massive subwoofer in the trunk so what do you guys say let's go ahead and turn this eclipse cross back on see if we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one kind of base with that sound system i will say that actually very clear rockford fosgate did a very good job with clarity with the eclipse cross there definitely felt like it was coming in all directions as well so very nice job with the rockford fosgate again that's an optional sound system with the touring package that adds 2100 dollars but very nice there then last thing on the tech display i wanted to mention to you guys is when you do put the eclipse cross in reverse you will find a rear view camera with dynamic grid lines and you're actually going to get multiple views including a 360 degree view if you went with the s e l trim level that we have today so that's what you're looking at right now but as always that is going to lead us into safety it's the first thing i wanted to mention probably the most important thing when it comes to safety the eclipse cross digity IIHS top safety pick rating so that is absolutely wonderful to start with front side and side curtain airbags come standard as well as the driver's knee airbag for all trim levels in the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats also rear child door locks back there tire pressure monitoring system that's all pretty basic stuff but s e and s e l trim levels are also going to add electronic parking brake with auto hold blind spot warning with rear cross traffic alert lane change assist automatic high beams for collision mitigation with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning this is one of the cool things i actually got it on film in this video that was pretty cool but the eclipse cross basically yells at you when you go over the lane a little bit which is good that means that's going to prevent you from getting into an accident so i love that also optional on the s e l if you wanted it there is an adaptive cruise control system available there too and so but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen if you like be sure to hit the subscribe button and the bell notification button if you're into new car reviews that is what we do here on this channel and thank you guys so much for stopping by and i will see y'all in the next video stay gold

But I was offended for personal reasons. Was he lying? No. But I didn't want to hear it. So I often talk about, obviously from a male perspective, how men should be vetting women. But I'm really, really interested in, from a woman's point of view, how they think they should be vetted by men, right? So because, especially in our community, the idea is that a man should not be vetting a woman, especially a black woman. Like, I'm the table. Like, I am perfect just as I am and you should accept me. Even the, there's a, there's a, I think it's called, is it cosmetics or like a hair care line called as I am? Like, it's about celebrating the goddessness that is a black woman. So from a female perspective, how should a black man who's done the work, who has, who is a solid individual by any metric, when he goes out to these streets, how should he be vetting, evaluating women? Okay, that's a good question.  I'm just being honest because we get rose-colored glasses. You think men do? Sometimes, yeah, y'all do. Like, especially if you kind of like, just a little bit, I just think sometimes like, you stop really paying attention and she'll start performing. So like, just like you're performing to get her. I think it's the opposite. I actually think, I think y'all come in without the rose-colored glasses, but we come in with the rose-colored glasses and we lose the glasses after we smash, whereas women get the glasses after they smash. What? I've seen it happen so many, because what happens is men tend to peticelize a woman. So you're never more beautiful and more perfect until when you were the object of my desire.  I know what it smells like. I know what you look like when you're naked. Like the magic for most men dies. That seems lustful and like, because there was no real relationship depth of develop, she didn't tap into your, and your psyche. Well, but that's the thing. Men's sexual attraction, typically against, I'm speaking of the world, not the exception. Typically it's instant. Damn, not as fat.  Whereas women typically, typically is, oh, I like the way he So it's a buildup. It takes time to even, you know what I'm saying? Like going back to the Harvard, there's a lot of things I have to do to apply to Harvard. The energy process, boom, boom versus, you know. But now men are trying to vent women, right? So you're going to have to refrain from the initial going in. Yeah, but I think you put it in a way where if you have sex with her too quickly, it'll be easier for her to fool you.  But there is something called post nut clarity. Have you heard that term? Yeah. So post nut clarity essentially, post nut clarity essentially is, like I said, when that haze lifts rose colored glasses to get off you.  That would help booty feel like this, this and that. So it can only go down from there. Whereas for women, it can only go up, right? So I think you could actually make a better argument. I'm not advocating for this.  She's the opposite. But see, that's where it gets interesting, right? Is because when, so say you have sex with her and you put it on her, she's going to start performing to ensure that you are happy. So you're not getting the real her. But I wouldn't be as easily fooled. I don't believe that. Because now, guess what? Now I'm in the power position. Like there's a saying, and I think you kind of alluded to it earlier. It goes that everything in life is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. It is. Right. So the power play, especially nowadays, it's going to sound messed up, but it's knocking most women off their high horse. And the only way men can actually do that is everything necessary to get her to submit to you and then submit to you sexually. So like the... That sounds manipulative and selfish. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. But what I'm saying is it's easier for a woman that you've had sex...  For men, it's the exact opposite for men. OK. All right. So I mean, then what are you betting for? Long-term trades. Long-term what? Long-term trades. Long-term trades. Yeah, like what's going to translate... Well, I mean, decent men, we're betting more so for what's going to translate into good long-term partner, good mother. So long-term partner and mother. But off the top, we're going to want to sleep with you. Well, I mean, so of course, the attraction has to be there, right, that we got that. So once you get the pass that you're looking for mother and long-term trades and you want to know how to bid for that. But if you refrain from sex, you're going to be looking at her like she's the best thing since sliced bread, even if she's not, because you really want a pussy.  Explain, write that down.  So she's going to do whatever for that. Vitting is like not even a thought process somewhere in there. You know what I'm saying?  They go, I am the table, right?  Yeah, but that other, I don't know that. I don't know. Let me tell you this. I think men need to know their purpose. Okay. They need to be accountable to a higher power. They need to know their purpose because a woman could have great traits and be an awesome mother. But if she doesn't understand and support your purpose, you will be miserable, right? So she, you and that that's something you should be betting for right off with the bat because what I've seen is that women pretend to be into what man the man is into, get married, get knocked up, and then expect for him to not do that after she's got the ring. And that's not fair to the man because then he loses what made him him. Does that make sense? Like his purpose, what he loves to do, right? Like if you marry somebody and they say, you can't do this anymore. You can't record anymore. You can't do black people waiting to talk anymore. How would you feel about that? How would I feel? Yeah, like, what would you say? That wouldn't happen. Okay. Right. But like during your vetting process, you didn't see that that would end up affecting your guys relationship down the road. You see what I'm saying? So that needs to be right off the bat. Like you need to be just starting. Is this woman really supporting me because she believes in the vision? Or is she supporting me because she sees another vision? No, I agree. I agree.  Because unfortunately what happens, and I think this would lead to like the red pill rage and things like that. What happens is a lot of boys, especially boys raised by single mothers, were told this myth of the benevolent, magical, pure, saint woman. Yeah, that doesn't exist. You see what I'm saying? And they have those expectations when they go out into the world.  They don't know how to deal with that. Especially when that revelation comes by, I bought this woman flowers, she took them flowers to another nigga house and was bent over. Yeah, he didn't buy her flowers. He didn't buy, he ain't doing goddamn thing.    So like now, when you're across from the woman, you're not looking through those rose-colored glasses. She's a person again. Because I don't think women understand what that like testosterone does to us. Oh yeah. Like that beast, when we want you, you could get breath-custain. But we want you in this. Men are savage. Y'all are savage.  But it's the truth. And I don't think women want to understand that men think different. Right? So, okay, fine, beat your meat. But just make sure that you're not investing too much time in somebody who's really seeing something else. You know what I'm saying? You're gonna have to go on a couple of dates, but by like date three or four, you should be able to discern if this person is ideal for you. You gotta look at their life too. You gotta be a little bit of stalker-ish. You know what I'm saying? What are they doing on social media? How long is she on there? Why she got all that time? Because she's filling her time with social media. She's gonna try to fill her time with you. They're like, is the attention piece? Yes. She wants a lot of attention. Yes, so you gotta pay attention to those things because you will become the focus. And you might not want to be. You don't want to be the complete focus because then we won't be able to breathe. And men, y'all like to breathe. You like the space, right? I want you to hear, but I don't want you to hear. You hear me like. So you just gotta take your time. Take your, not too much time though, because you will drive somebody crazy that way. But I just think men really, I think y'all know right off the bat when you meet her. But if you're damaged and stuff like that, you may second-gaze it and mess it up. You sabotage it yourself too sometimes. But y'all know. You know if that woman believes in you and can push you to a higher level, you like to be held accountable to a certain extent. And if she doesn't have a backbone, that's not attractive either. So let's talk about this power couple phenomenon. This power couple ideal of I'm gonna be a boss, beh. And he's gonna be a boss, this. And we both bosses will come together. So then you see women bragging on their PhDs and how much money they make and all their masculine attributes and characteristics and expecting men to find those things desirable. Why do you think so many boss women fail at relationships and are typically single? Because the balance is really off. And I'm gonna tell you this, from personal experience, like when you're a business owner and always in charge, it is hard to transition from that thought process because you're working eight-hour days, right?  And it's just not reality for women and they don't wanna admit it. They really don't. They don't wanna say like, it makes me manly because you have to be somewhat manly when you're running a business. You have to be stern. You have to be those masculine traits for you to be even respected, right? But then like, how do you turn that switch off when you get home? It's hard, it's not, it's hard. Look, it's hard, it's really hard. But women are like, no, I can do both. And that's where we have to be honest. Women and men and women are not the same. Women can have businesses. I mean, like the Bible shows that, right? Like the Prophets are already women, women, she does a lot of things, but she did those behind the scenes. And then you wanna know who got the praise for that? Her husband. And then he praised her. Do you see what I'm saying? In this society, we wanna do all the work and we want him to praise us and we want the world to know it was us. And we're out of order. So there is no, to me, if you wanna be completely honest, there's no real way for a woman to be a boss, boss and not emasculate her man at some point in the relationship. Why do you think that that is a message that is gonna be unpopular? Why do you think there's still that ideal? Yeah, because society has, and I don't wanna use this society, first of all, I think the worst thing to America is seeing black couples get together, right? In their divine order. Because when we were married, and there were movements that happened, we were on one accord and things were changing. Civil rights, all of those things, we were movements were happening. Places were being built up. We were making money. So we're forced to be reckoned with when we're in our divine purposes. But if we cause the paradigm shift and the woman to feel like she's over the man, it doesn't work out that way. What was your question again? You said, why do I think that? Why do people still glamorize that? So that we can stay divided. Because as long as we stay divided, the true change that needs to happen in society for people to be treated equally and all the things that we complain about won't happen because we're not on the same page. We will never get there. Because the man, just being honest, like the man is the leader. Who was deceived in the garden? Hmm, that's interesting. Well, so that might be tough for people who don't subscribe to like the judo question. Yeah, that's fine. But society, okay. All right, I'll appeal to the American people. When President Clinton, not President Clinton, but when Bill Clinton's wife was running for president against Trump, right? Okay. When you asked people why they voted for Trump, they said two things. It's not ideals to have a woman as the leader of the free country. And I needed to pick the lesser of the two evils. One thing I do know for certain is when a woman gets power, she is emotional creature and will make emotional decisions with power. And that's dangerous. It's true. We don't completely think before we hit the button. We think after we hit the button and then now it's too late. So I'm probably gonna get canceled for this because people are pushing for a woman president, but I don't believe that that's okay. I just don't think that women should lead, lead. It's not my job to do that. If that was the case, it would have been designed that way and it wasn't. Actually, I don't agree fully. I think women could lead. I think there is a cost, just like you said. Because I mean, the pushback often is that, we would be in war all the time and this, this and that. And that's already the reality with male leadership. So men are emotional, men are emotionally immature.  And a lot of times what we fail to realize sometimes, some of our greatest male leaders were actually, just the voice box, the megaphone of a woman. We talk about Cleo Patron and things like that. Which is why I said, okay, so then it still goes back to that. There's a purpose for a woman, but the man is the face of that. Okay, that's interesting. So what I'm saying is that we are emasculating men out of their roles because we want to be the face. What do you think that's gonna take us? Like, wait, if things don't change, if people don't watch this content, learn about men, learn about women, what is the, where are we going?  I just feel like we're going to go into, it's gonna be destruction in a way because we're just out of order. To me, there's probably gonna be a point where there's no turning back because everything goes at this point. If somebody can wake up and say, hey, I don't feel like being human today, I think I'm a hippopotamus, we have a problem. If a teacher gets in trouble for not acknowledging a child as a cat, we have a problem. We could either go up or go down, but because we're so convinced that we are equal, it looks like we're just gonna go down because we're not equal. The body structures are different, the mentalities are different, the hormones are different. And so, we're gonna go to the abyss. Oh, it's gonna be terrible. I'm just, we're all, we see it, right? Cancel courts, you're everything. People can't even take a joke nowadays, right? So, that's where we're going. And we won't see people getting married, like eventually people won't even think that marriage is, actually really it's a joke at this point too now. What's the point, right? So last question, what were your thoughts of the late Kevin Samuels and his work? Okay, so late. I was a Kevin Samuels fan. Okay, until he said the come dumb thing and I felt offended, but I was offended for personal reasons. Was he lying? No, but I didn't wanna hear it. So, I feel like Kevin, the platform was needed. I don't think that it was fair that his platform took off because of him being semi-disrespectful, but she was disrespectful too, don't get it wrong. Like her calling on the wrong day, I get that, you know? But what he did was valuable. Like I was on this show the other day and these men were lying. They called herself the greatest black man ever, but they just hold no truths on this show, okay? And at the end of it, I was like, you know what? I wish Kevin was back because y'all would not be able to be doing these things right now, because y'all are idiots. I would prefer the truth. Even no matter how harsh it is, so I can learn to process that, then people still trying to get in that mantle that Kevin was in and starting to lie and pander to women. I don't need nobody to pander to me. I need you to tell me why I'm not successful at what I'm doing and what I need to do to change. And that's what he did. No matter how much we liked it or not. So I like him.


Now let's bring in Kam Lydig, Stevenson's senior. He was shut down the first half. That wasn't going to stay that way that long. He got three on the board and a half number two. Kam, I have an important first question for you. Can you lie diggits? Yes, I can. Yeah, that's my gut. Kam, the mentality for this team tonight, going into this one. We're just talking about it with Coach. You guys, this was a one goal game when you played them on the road earlier than the season. What was different this time? How were you able to have such a focus to deliver this performance? Yeah, I think the mentality is just win or go home. I think in the first game, we did a lot of things wrong. And like Coach said, we made those adjustments. And we knew we were the better team. So we just had to come together as a unit before this game. And we were really excited to play. And just, like I said, it's win or go home. So we just wanted to cherish every moment. And we're just going to give it our all every game until we get out of here. Do you feel like if you can play like this, there's nobody in the country you can't be? I mean, offensively, when we play together like that, I think we're top three offense in the country. And our defense is amazing. I mean, Mark, just he's going to keep us in every game regardless, and same with our defense. So if our offense can just come together and play together instead of playing individual, as Coach mentioned, we'll be just fine. Coach was just talking about how you represent what Stevenson LaCrosse is all about. I know we're hoping that there's going to be more of you around here. That's the decision you get to make on your own. But these last few years, you and Josh playing together and childhood buddies, can you put into words what this has meant to you to be a part of this program and to do it with your friend? It's awesome. It's not just Josh. It's all the guys. I mean, they're my best friends. I love coming out here every day. Aside from LaCrosse, I mean, they'll be at my wedding and stuff to come after that. So it's not just Josh. I love being with all these guys every single day. And I'm just excited we can come together like that and get some big wins. What's it going to take on Saturday night, Cam? What do you guys have to do in order to deliver a championship? We're not going to overthink it. We're just going to come with our game plan, come strong, and try to execute. I'd love to hear it. All right, who needs a shout out, Cam? Who are we shouting out? Shout out to Caps. Shout out Corey Watson. Go follow Corey as strong. There we go. Shout out mom and dad. Look, do we know what the scores? Do we know if they won yet? I don't want to know. We'll check that out in a minute. Cam, congratulations, man. Great, great game. And go get them on Saturday night, all right? Thank you.


From Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Cover EMC World 2016, brought to you by EMC. Now your host, Dave Vellante. Welcome back to Las Vegas, everybody. This is EMC World 2016. This is theCUBE. This is our seventh year at EMC World. It all started in Boston with lobster and chowda and the socks. And now we're out here in beautiful Las, sunny Las Vegas. I'm here with Scott Andrews, the regional vice president for channels and alliances at Hortonworks and Keith Mante, the CTO of analytics at EMC's Isilon division gentlemen. Welcome to theCUBE. Let's talk big data. Let's talk. Thank you. So yeah, we were talking off camera, Scott. I was saying we were just at Hadoop Summit in Dublin. Great show, a lot of buzz coming off that. So Hortonworks, things are smoking. Yep, things continue along at a really fast pace. Partnership that we have with EMC is really starting to flourish. If you look back when we started the partnership, it's about two years ago now. In March of 2015, we were officially certified as a joint solution of Isilon and Hortonworks data platform. Fast forward to September, 2015. We're selected as part of EMC Select. So now we really start getting the ground game going from a sales perspective. And we're starting to see a lot of traction across the board from a customer standpoint perspective. So EMC's had a long history now in big data. When the whole Hadoop meme sort of hit 2009, 2010, it really started hitting the radar. And then you guys made an acquisition of Green Plum. And then of course, Isilon came in after that. And that was going to wheelhouse storage infrastructure, big data, boom. And so you've really evolved and become a major player. And the other thing is the conventional wisdom back then was, oh, EMC, NetApp, whomever picked your storage vendor, big trouble, nobody's going to use that stuff for Hadoop and big data. And then bang, hits the enterprise. But what about governance? What about security? What about compliance? So that's been a real tailwind for you guys. You talk governance, regulatory compliance. I also say operations and SLA. People are starting to build massive complexes. They want to make sure that they stay up. They want to make sure that when they put millions of dollars of investment of their business on a Hadoop platform, they're able to run it. They can get the staff to support it. They can be able to scale it. They can handle the availability they need. And to your point, that is really where we're seeing continued partnership with Hortonworks as driving the Hortonworks and Isilon value proposition for large organizations, as they continue to grow their Hadoop platform. So let's talk a little bit about that partnership. I've personally talked to Sean Conley many times about Hortonworks philosophy on partnering. And I think EMC, much, much bigger company, but Sean has always underscored the depth of the partnerships that you're looking for. It's not just what we sometimes call a Barney deal. I love you. You love me. Let's do a press release and we move on. It's much, much deeper than that. Can you describe a little bit of depth? Yeah, absolutely. So when we partner with a strategic partner, we go deep from engineering and product management so that, one, we've got the proper integration day one, but we also have the roadmap in place in terms of where we're going. We were talking about this a little bit earlier. We've seen it where we've sort of gone through the evolution of Hadoop within our customer base. And now we're going back through that evolution with the combination of EMC, Isilon, and Hortonworks data platform, where customers are saying, I did the POC and then I did the renovate in terms of ETL offload, but now I'm really looking to scale out and do the interesting innovation use cases. And I want the security. I want the operations. I want the management. I want the governance. And together, it's incumbent upon both organizations to drive that into the market. In turn, we need a real deep engineering partnership. So from EMC's perspective, again, you guys really hopped onto this trend and said, no, we're not going to shy away from, from big data. We're going to go all in. We're going to develop solutions. How do you guys collaborate from a, from both an engineering and a go-to-market standpoint to make that happen? A lot of it, you have to watch where the industry's going. What are the hot trends? I mean, we see trends here about IoT. We see trends here about video surveillance. We see trends talking about, you know, data offload. And as we watch where the trends are going, then we look at, all right, what are the workflows that we need? What are the tools that we need to enable those? And, you know, first thing is, you need to have a joint engineering. How does the data get into the platform? So platform, you know, so their NIFI investment, which was on YARA, now we label this, Hurtmark's Dataflow, makes a great way to get data inside of the ISOIN. You then also look at, you know, what are the use cases and what are the tools you're going to put on top of the environment? You know, so it, as we spend a lot of time, we start with the end user in mind and then work back to what are the tools, what are the joint engineering? How do we build together the partnership that we know where the client wants to be? Because it doesn't really help if you go to where the people are today. It really matters how do you go to where they're going to want to be in a year or two or three, because it can't just be about where the world is today. It's moving far too fast to be able to do that. So Scott, talk about that NIFI investment that you guys made.  Talk about the importance of NIFI and what the angle is with EMC. Yeah, so it's incredibly important for us as an organization, right? Because what it does is it brings us the notion of a connected data platform. So the combination of Hortonworks data platform, data at rest, and Hortonworks data flow, which is essentially a NIFI technology for data in motion, right? And what it enables us to do is to be able to deliver data both securely but also with lineage from a governance perspective. So we can ensure you that the data that you selected to bring in is actually the data you wanted. And we're seeing this play across with EMC right now. I think Mike Bishop from, President was on earlier, and he was talking about leveraging Hortonworks data flow with Hortonworks data platform on top of IceLine. So we're seeing it out in the market right now. That was an interesting use case. Absolutely, risk mitigation. So, okay, so Keith, in the early days, again, to do batch platform, yarn comes along, allows us to negotiate more resources, do more things at once. Now, you've got Spark coming in, other in-memory technologies, real-time streaming. How is big data evolving, and what kind of efforts are you guys doing together to accelerate that? As you said, that's the classic use case. It's been around since 2009. Last year, what we've seen is just a complete uptake to streaming and what I'll call the hybrid architecture, which is using a lot of your batch stores to calculate amount of data that then you can then, at real-time site already, they have a problem or not. We're starting to see that in various things like cybersecurity or the press and edge scenario where they're starting to figure out, are we looking at someone's life in danger because there's a volatile situation where a traveler is. And so, where we're seeing the investment is going closer to real-time. You still need all the data that you have, the data may be cold, that may be a month's worth of data, a year's worth of data, or it may be 15 minutes, but you need to aggregate that up and then you need just a minuscule amount for that real-time. But that's what we're starting to see is, how do we take all that together to make meaningful real-time, at that exact moment, decisions? And that's really where we're seeing the world move into now. It's off a batch to instantaneous. But instantaneous means lots of compute in order to get there. So let's map that into some of the things that customers have been doing over the last several years. So you guys like to talk about Data Lakes, my business partner, John Furrier, hates Data Lakes, likes Data Oceans, whatever, we have to have that argument. So the concept of Data Lake, largely was about extending, maybe even reducing the cost of the traditional data warehouse, not maybe, clearly. We often joke though, ROI was reduction on investment. You know, it did cut costs and it allowed you to store a lot more data. Okay, well that was good, and that's still growing. But you can see that as not being the most exciting part of the future. We've talked about IoT, data in motion, more real-time. So talk about how some of the applications are evolving. Yeah, I think what we originally saw was people building sort of single-purpose build applications on top of the cluster. And then it moved more towards this notion of a Data Lake where with you are and you're now able to run best of breed, whether it's from the Hadoop ecosystem or commercial software on top of that Data Lake, I think that trend continues. But I think we also see purpose-built clusters being maintained for very specific workloads, right? Where it's how do I run best of breed software on top of this specific cluster to deliver the performance or outcomes that I need. Okay, and how does EMC approach? So for example, I mean, you get Pivotal, right?  How does your relationship with Hortonworks, the Pivotal folks, Hortonworks, how are you guys all working together now? Can you sort of help us squint through that? Go ahead, I think ODPI, and as you mentioned, brings a whole lot of value. And so one of the things, I used to get a lot of questions and replies about where the pace of change within Hadoop was faster than what most companies could handle. Now with the ODPI release, Hortonworks 2.4, you're now going to see more of an annual release of Hadoop. And then the supplemental or the frothy components like your Spark, your Kafka, will change more often. And that'll cause clients to stabilize a little more. But it also allows us to build a better runway so that we know where the release is going to be. We will be able to go to market sooner with Hortonworks to have clarity, to have certification right after it goes to market. We will be able to put all of the pivotal components on top of it day one. And so the goal there is, with a lot of the ecosystem is changing, it was sort of a catch-up game. And so now as it becomes a little more synchronized, there's less of a catch-up game. And who wins is the client when day one, they can install everything and it works. Versus having to wait till all the components got there. And that was sort of the early days of Hadoop where you sort of had to hope that you had the right configuration to make sure it worked. Now it's very precise. You can install, you know, work with everything you have. And that goes to the partnership that we have and sort of, you know, how do we make it easier for the client? How about the ecosystem, Scott? Let's talk about that a little bit.  Same's true for Hortonworks. Your business model is different because you're essentially selling a subscription model, right? But the ecosystem is very complex. It's a complicated situation for a lot of customers. What do you make of that? It's not getting simpler. It just seems to be growing and growing. Could we expect that to continue and how do you deal with all that complexity?  Certainly when we put out our first release of the Hortonworks data platform, it was much smaller in terms of what it is today, right? And I think you'll continue to see that evolve. And the other piece of it is supporting the ecosystem, right? Hadoop is clearly a platform and it's incumbent upon us to make sure that all those solutions work optimally on top of the platform, right? Because that's what customers are driving for. They want to be able to run the right solution for the right workload. Right, so you guys, a lot of committers to the open source world. EMC's relatively new to open source. I remember when John Rose came on as the overall CTO at EMC, we went in and did a little analyst talk and he asked me, what do you think? And what advice do you give us? And I said, open source, you guys are way behind in open source. He said, you know, you're right, but that's going to change and already is changing. You just don't see it yet. Now, the fact was that the time EMC was a consumer of open source and then of course with Pivotal and others. But give us the update on sort of your role in the ecosystem as opposed to just a purveyor of storage solutions. And I think it's very telling. We have an entire booth dedicated to what's called EMC code, which is EMC's open source portfolio. Be it our, you know, scale out block, which is open source scale IO. We now have a Icelon free and frictionless software to find Icelon, which is scale out file. We also have the ECS, which is scale out object. So we continue to contribute. If you look at those ECS and Icelon are within the last year. So, you know, the pace continues. We continue to push more software to find. Doesn't mean we're not going to continue to sell the hardware to find it, but what we're seeing is the world's changing. Open source is there. It's heat, you know, and EMC is embracing it. Can you guys give us some visibility, you know, show a little leg on what you're working on now together? What's the roadmap look like? What kind of guidance can you give us? I would say one of the things I know we're seeing is watch where NIFI, ATLAS, HDP and Icelon go with some of the use cases. And when I say that, think scale. So today, if you think Kadoop, you know, if you hear a petabyte or two, you think that's huge. I think that is about to change at a radical pace. I would agree. I think the focus is going to be around IoT and how do we integrate important works data flow and what does that look like moving forward? It's been a lot of interesting discussion going on.  You guys are at the heart of it. Well, listen, thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Congratulations on the medium term. In this world of dog years, you guys have been partners for a long, long time. So wishing you the best for many dog years forward. So thanks again. Great, thanks for having us. All right, keep it right there, everybody. This is theCUBE, we're live from EMC World 2016 in Vegas. We're right back. Looking back at the history of death.


This is a stamp from Art Impressions from, oh, maybe 15, 20 years ago. I've had it for a really, really long time. They don't make it anymore, but I needed a stamp to test out gouache with.  I have no idea what I'm doing, but I realized that painting opaquely over stamp lines means you have to reinvent all of the outlines again. I don't know. Better technique for this or just using the gouache more transparently. So why wouldn't you use watercolor for that? I don't know. Lots to think about with this, but it was a lot of fun to do it anyway. The reason I even got this stamp out was because I was cleaning and I found it, but I had used an old card of mine for a sample in the clean and simple design for Card Maker's class. And if you want to see more on it, check out the class because


So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and welcome aboard Sammy Watkins Officially now this this interview this presser. It wasn't from the crib This was Sammy Watkins introductory press conference as a Baltimore Raven actually there at the facility And I appreciated us a couple of different phrases that he used Specifically but before we get into that I got to say I appreciate y'all I love y'all Thank you for being so positive on here on other channels. Thank you for that Just keep your heads up man, because there's a lot of people out there going through a lot a lot People that you might even be close to going through a lot and you have no idea what they might be going through Because they might be wanting to keep it to themselves So if somebody's having a rough day that you know and they acting sort of out of character get them space Don't try to shut them that just get them space give them space because they may just need a little bit of extra space for the day So they can sort of think through everything and sort of just calm down But anyway, oh shout out to Panamik fee. Oh man See we would have never known because this is why This is why I always say because people tend to get so worked up when they hear about this player that players absent from voluntary OTA's They people tend to get worked up over that stuff, but you never know what somebody's going through and with Panamik fee I believe they said his his great grandmother right now. That's in hospice. So that's tough man That's that's that's tough. So with with Panamik fee with his with with that situation going on They said that he wasn't there at the OTA's, but they said he was still coaching up the young guys That's like man, like for him. He doesn't have to do that That's not his job. He's not a coach and with him not being there for a definite excuse absence Even though it's voluntary, but for him to still take the time out to do that. That says a lot about Panamik fee and his character so special shout out to Panamik fee and Another thing to Sammy Watkins Speaking of Sammy Watkins, I really appreciated Him owning up and him just putting it out there I mean, we already knew it as fans because it was already reported last week that he wasn't there But it was nice that he went and addressed not even an elephant in the room But he addressed that himself. So yeah, I'm mad that I missed the whole week OTA's But I'm here now So I appreciated that accountability Another thing that he continued to talk about a phrase that he continued to use throughout the press conference He talked about Taking coaching. He said that so many times taking coaching. We need to take the coaching We need to take it the young players need to take the coaching. I need to take the coaching I need to learn from the coaches. We need to learn from the coaches and That right there that That's what leaders do Leaders put other people in place to lead to and leaders respect other leaders So Sammy Watkins is already showing his formal respect He probably trying to get some extra catches on on Sundays to now But Sammy Watkins is showing respect a lot of respect to the coaching staff So I appreciate it appreciated that a lot He talked about Rashad Bateman. He mentioned how Rashad Bateman. He knows had a pretty much run every route That's at a professional level So again, a lot of stuff is to be determined because again, this this is where we're gonna hear a lot of good stuff But come training camp and then after training camp come preseason and regular season. That's what we're gonna see That's when we really gonna see So but this is all this is all nice to hear. So shout out to Rashad Bateman doing this thing and somebody asked Tammy Watkins about just um about When he came into the league Who was some influences on him? He talked about guys like Mike Williams. He talked about Mark. He's good one He talked about um, Robert Forget his name Robert from the Rams or is it Roberts the wide receiver Who's played Robert Woods? There we go. Oh, can I think of it? He talked about how those guys and I forget that he used to play for the bills Robert Woods But he talked about how those guys they were young But they were still helping him learn and now he talked about the young receivers that are here with the Baltimore Ravens And he said that he's teaching them, but at the same time, they're teaching him, too So it goes both ways now One question and I respect this reporter for asking the question and I did not catch the name my apologies But somebody asked Sammy Watkins. So what do you say to all of those people who have doubts about you and Then the reporter kind of paused but then he didn't stop and I was thinking okay He's gonna ask this sort of bland question, but then he was like no, no, I ain't done So what do you say to all those people who have doubts about you and the people who say that you won't be able to Play the full season healthy and you haven't done that since 2015. He said to all the people that have voiced that and All the people that have written about that So he talked about people maybe on radio People who may be writing articles people may be making videos. Maybe I don't know but he talked about everybody who's been saying that and that was a very legitimate question and I love that and I Respected it because it's something that a lot of us have been thinking now when Sammy was asked that a couple of months back Well, yeah, what's a couple months back at his introductory presser? he sort of diverted it to the coaching staff on the chiefs and He said well, they It's it's up to them to it's up to coach to keep me on like a count or something like that and I just I Really think that was the best answer but then to today when he was asked about it he He sort of kind of diverted again And he said I'm not worried about that I'm not worried about that and he and then he went to he said well, I played in two Super Bowls So I'll be just fine And I was thinking oh man Well, that that is true because what we always talk about with Sammy Watkins He has literally played in every single type of game that there is every type of preseason game every type of regular season game Every type of playoff game and the Super Bowl of course and he has literally won every single type of game That there is to win and he has lost every single type of game that there is to lose So I feel like his experience could really help the Ravens, especially in the playoffs But when it came to that question, he's sort of like Wiggled around it and it sound like he got a little bit annoyed at it I mean, I ain't trying to hear that but he also did talk about he said with football and NFL It is a 100% Chance of you getting hurt Whether small injuries or whether it's big injuries and that's true because football is a very physical sport It's an extremely physical sport So he is right about that. But again, yeah, we all know Sammy Watkins injury history and it's not pretty again He hasn't played a four seasons since 2015 But what we hope for him with the Baltimore Ravens is that this this is the year This is the year now when they signed Sammy Watkins This is why I said I don't feel like they can put all their eggs into Sammy Watkins basket because of that injury history Because the Ravens knew going in what the past was they knew is the situation So let's see if he can sort of turn the corner and change it a bit And stay healthy this whole year and then of course for playoffs and then hopefully so anyway We were we were all informed. We were all informed for sure But I think that's why Ravens went so heavy in the draft at wide receiver Because they know how things have been unfortunately for Sammy Watkins It's just been a bad bad bouncing of the ball for Sammy Watkins when it comes to his injuries, man So, but hey, we hoping that again that he does a really really good job this year along with everybody else now Somebody else who spoke Was T Martin and with T Martin, I didn't get to catch his entire presser Because the Raven they said they were starting at 230, but they started earlier anyway But one thing that I loved about it wasn't even so much what he said But it was how he said it and the confidence that he said the confidence that he had in himself when he spoke About himself and when he spoke about his resume, he did not say it in a cocky way He didn't say it in an arrogant way He just said in a very confident way and I loved when the reporter asked him So how was he asked him about him being high about John Hall ball And he was telling the story. He said John Hall ball asked him. He said hey How would you like? to coach with with Keith Williams how would you like to coach with Keith Williams and His response was okay. Well, hey, I would love it. You Would be getting the best of both worlds And I was like, oh, okay Let's get it, man, and we really hope that his contribution I mean the same thing that I said from the day that T Martin got hired and him and Keith Williams both got hired on the same day Well, it was announced on the same day, but My hope for them It hasn't changed and it will not change but my hope for them is that they have a voice Like I really hope that they have a voice and that whether it's hardball Greg Roman Urban, I hope that everybody who's above them Will listen to their input because again, you look at their resume Look at the guys that have been under them It's a beautiful thing one thing another thing that T Martin talked about With what he brings to the table as a coach He said since he played the quarterback position He feels like that helps a lot because receivers. He said they'll be talking about oh, I'm open. I'm open I'm open, but he said one of the things that he's really trying to teach the receivers is progression. I And I love that But now let's see it in action Because again now now is the time where they sort of they tickle our ears With everything that they're saying and everything sounds good everything sounds good but We want to see it in action and again, that's what these OTA's is prepping them for That's what many camps gonna prep them for and that's what training camp is gonna prep them for and then comes preseason And then regular season and now it's off to the races from there So team keeping clean. We'll see how things go with these Baltimore Ravens and until then We'll be patient. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. I hope y'all are having a really really great Wednesday And on that note we out
