The signal oil program The whistler that whistle is your signal for the signal oil program The whistler and I know many things for I walked by night I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows Yeah, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak Yes friends, it's time for the signal oil program the whistler Rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history and Signal gasoline is top two tops in quality It takes extra quality, you know to give you extra mileage and signal is the famous go farther gasoline So look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies friendly dealer owned signal station from Panada to Mexico And now the whistler strange story tough guy The white-satched community sat quietly sweltering under a broiling South American sun As a battered taxi swirved off the highway in a cloud of thick red dust and clattered up the main street Larry Sands sat huddled in the rear of the cab Wishing he was back at his desk in the offices of Pacific Airways in San Francisco Nervously he puffed on his cigarette in his eyes shifted from one side of the street to the other Searching the faces peering into doorways probing the shadows Finally the ancient vehicle grown to a stop in front of a neat two-story building Larry Sands dismissed his driver and hurried into the hotel the clerk looked up from his newspaper and smile Good afternoon, sir. I'm Larry Sands Pacific Airways You received my message.  I am Fernando Peralta the manager. It will be a pleasure to serve you, sir. Okay How about taking me up to my room your luggage is this all yeah? Yeah, I will have someone take it upstairs. No I'll take it myself Come on. You wish to go to your room now, sir. Yes, but I thought perhaps after the long journey The senior would care to visit the hotel. I said I want to go up to my room. I see which senior I Will get the key This way, sir across the patio May I ask how long you intend to a stay senior Sands two or three weeks? It depends. Oh, I thought perhaps you would be with us until the airfield was finished. Oh You're surprised that I know senior There is not one man woman or child here who does not know that you're here to supervise the building of the new airfield How do you mean? Well, senior workers will have to be hired the land must be cleared the building all this means much to our town See this place where you are to build a field senior. I know it well you have been there Not not yet during the war that is the revolution of 1938 It was an airfield then the government forces used it as Here we are You have heard of the revolution of 1938 in your sense. Yeah, yeah, I heard about it And we are senior Is it not a beautiful room? The windows here overlook the plaza. There's a cooling breeze. I will open the windows a little more. No, I beg your pardon. You're welcome But senior it is a war lock the windows Which senior tell me? You serve meals here, of course, and you're there's the dining room downstairs if you wish I will see that a table I won't be necessary. I'd like to have my meals sent up to my room and if anyone calls me I'm not in that understood. You are not in I don't want to be disturbed no matter who it is. I'm not in That clear this clears in your sense. All right, just be sure you remember What's the matter, senior? That's a picture Who put it there picture what picture senior there on the table where did it come from? I do not know senior. I did not hear before you're lying senior. I swear. I have never seen this photograph before I asked Why it is a picture of you senior son To my darling, sir, I sit down with all my love Larry Senior you must believe me. I have no idea. Oh that cab driver back. I'm leaving leaving with the new head what I said Find that cab driver. I'm getting out of here now With the prologue of tough guy the signal oil company brings you another strange story by the whistler But first two don'ts for tire buyers that may spare you grief and save you dollars one Don't accept inferior second-line tires when you can now buy top quality Lee Deluxe four ply tires for only 12 95 plus tax at signal dealers and two Don't pay over 12 95 for a top quality tire Because 12 95 will now buy a nationally advertised Lee of conch a hawken tire at signal dealers throughout the west from Canada to Mexico Yes, you heard right only 12 95 for a top quality Lee deluxe tire backed by a one-year road hazard guarantee That's in the popular 616 size other sizes proportionately low price I'll admit the 12 95 sounds low for a top quality tire and it is low It's your signal dealer summer driving special on the same tires that only two weeks ago sold for 1525 Tires with the same patented double life cord construction that has made Lee outstanding among leading brands So see how much signal dealers will offer you for your old tires now See why more and more drivers who have compared quality and price agree today's best tire by is Lee deluxe four ply tire top quality for only 12 95 plus tax at signal dealers and now back to the whistler It was a mistake wasn't it Larry coming back to South America and your only thought now is to get away as far away as possible Yes, Pacific Airways will just have to send someone else to supervise construction of the airfield Nervously you pace up and down your room waiting for the return of the hotel manager. He's been gone 10 minutes Surely he'd have found a cab by now Quickly you go to the window look down into the street almost deserted in the hot afternoon sun Your eyes sweep across the plaza settle on a low white building at the corner the Cantina It was called the blue grotto in those days wasn't it Larry that was 10 years ago in 1938 He was so very young men hungry for adventure There was a revolution here and the government was hiring pilots as fast as they could find them You remember well, don't you your first night here sitting at the bar of the blue grotto But don't senior may I sit here sure sure help yourself you are Larry sans. Are you not that's right? I saw you at the airfield this morning with the commandant. You are going to fly with us. No, why not? My name is Antonio Antonio bar. Oh, so you're Antonio, huh? The commandant is told you about me, huh? Yeah, you're pretty good Is that all he said you have the heart of a sentimental female, but in the air you were a terror How about a drink in a moment? Thank you.  Oh No, we'll see Have you ever been in combat Larry? Nope, but I've seen a lot of movies Tell me I'm curious Why do you come here to fight for my people? Your government's paying me fifteen hundred bucks a month with a bonus for every ship. I knock out of the air Then answer your question. I Suppose it does. Yes. I don't know anything about politics. I don't know who's right. Who's wrong in this practice Have you tell me your side is right? That's good enough for me. I see Does that make you sore? No This rat race is over. I'll find me another war. There'll be one someplace always is Larry, you know something. Hmm. You are I think not so very tough What? But I like you. I think also we will get along now you buy me that drink, huh? Larry you are hurt. I relax Antonio. I'm alright. Everybody getting so excited about I brought this kite back, didn't I? It's a few slugs and a beat-up job like this. It is not the ship. We worry about Larry. Okay? Okay, Larry the next time you may not be so lucky sure sure when you never learn Larry I have told you when you are up there look around look around all the time never stop Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I forgot it hadn't been for you those two would have blast me right out of the sky Thanks, pal Thanks, you will learn Larry you will not fast enough 500 bucks for every ship I knocked down. I've been here a month now not a single plane to my credit The money again always it is the money that is most important You found anything better this lock. Look, I'm in no mood for a lecture Come on down to the village and stand a few drinks. All right, Larry. All right They turn out at the grotto tonight. What are they doing? Giving me pickle dishes. What do you mean, Larry? Give it just an old American custom Now here's the table. All right Hey, sweetheart, how about some service? May I help you? Hello, Antonio, that is good to see you again. Where have you been? How are we worried for you?  Oh, but there are so many other girls like you Look at Larry is she not beautiful That is if I this is my good friend Larry He is one of us now Then you say hi to see him. You must tell me what happened to you. Why did you deserve to my? My parents I have not heard from them since the war started We are from the North, you know and when the war began we were separated. Yes I knew about that then you came here a month ago. I heard from a friend My father had been seen in Rio, North. That is where I have been looking for my father. I Did not find him I am sorry I'm very sorry. Well, uh Now that everything settled and how about the drink sweet out? Oh, yes. I'm sorry. I bring them right away Brandy the same chick. I will be back in a minute. It is sad. No. Yeah, but we'd never get our drinks You look is she really the mascot of our outfit is more than that Larry I tell you something she does Larry she has pictures of all the pilots She collects them they are on the walls of her room and every night she prays for So someday I think your picture will be there also sure sure I can hardly wait Still the big tough guy, huh? All right Larry we'll see The next few months are exciting ones aren't they Larry Flying the battered government planes They're raids deep into enemy territory bombing missions night patrols And Antonio is always nearby watching over you like a mother hen You find yourself thinking more and more of teresita And you see her every time you go to the blue grotto And then one evening as you and Antonio enter the crowded cafe. She comes running towards you Larry Larry Oh, hello, teresita. You did not come last night and today. I hear a pilot is missing It's either the Frenchman right now. I did not know I I thought perhaps you think it was out of me go Larry was missing. Hey Listen, don't you think I know how to take care of myself every time a plane gets knocked off or on her right away Everybody thinks it's a larry. I did not mean sure sure. I know. I'm just a green kid Four months about a single plane to my credit Antonio and the rest of them treat me like a baby Gotta take care of a junior if upstairs see the junior doesn't get into a jam No, you do not understand Larry. It is because uh, teresita bring us the drinks and we will sit over here. Yes, right away, Antonio Here Larry sit down sit down You know You are not very smart larry. You are not very smart at all. I think Look, what is this gonna be another lecture? How can anyone be so blind so blind? All right. All right. Get it off your chest Antonio Pablo, what are you doing here? The commandant. He asked me to find you. Ruiz has been killed Ruiz But that is impossible. He came back with us this afternoon. I know but I found him an hour ago In a ditch at the edge of town with life in his back A week goes by and the Ruiz murder remains unsolved While morning after morning you fly the dull patrol Over the same low rolling hills bleach for the sun Following the same railroad track the river over the plateau and back to the airdrome Then one morning as you return to the field You stop by the hangar office. Antonio was there with a half a dozen other pilots Never saw a happier bunch of guys in my life What's the matter the war over larry It just happened again. What now? We've lost another pilot This time it was Kruger We found in the village this morning shot to death Hello larry. Hiya teresita any of the boys around a few over there. Is something wrong? Plenty coming down. He wants to give us a pep talk. We have to report back to the field right away What has happened? Somebody's putting a finger on us terry A week ago it was Ruiz last night Kruger Tonight they found Corelli in the plaza with his throat cut Gentlemen gentlemen We have lost three pilots all of them murdered In this morning's raid. We counted heavily on the element of surprise But as you know, we lost five planes five pilots The revolutionists knew we were coming and where? They know that our abilities in the sky are greater than theirs So they sent spies to murder our pilots on the ground to inform them of our plans I do not know how they identify us, but I must warn you to be extremely cautious Remain on the airfield if you must go to the village go in groups and do not wear the flying jackets Nothing in your duress must indicate that you are pilots only in this way perhaps You rush out of the commandante's office with the others and make for the hangers You're at the edge of the landing strip when the first bomb hits An instant later the fighters roar over the runway sweep the field with machine gun and you dive headlong into the ditch Again and again the enemy bombers and fighters crisscross the field And finally it's over You scamper out of the ditch antonio at your side Two hangers have been completely demolished a dozen or more planes caught on the ground blown to bits You stand there for a moment listening to the drone of aircraft fading into the night Then the only sound you hear is the crackle of the flame This was the first time they attack us here It's strange they choose this moment to do so. Yeah, I'm way ahead of you antonio More than half our fighters and bombers on the ground and the same number of pilots assembled in the commandante's office Yes, it is indeed strange a coincidence, no But we will find out soon chico Very soon I know Somebody's putting a finger on us antonio, but good It's like I told teresita tonight. You spoke with her tonight sure when I was rounding up the boys Hey, wait a minute Look, what's the matter the village fires some of the bombs must have dropped on the village a moment You cannot go you will be needed here. We're gonna stop me antonio No No, I will not try What are you grinning about?  Maybe teresita needs your help On larry. Yeah, like I always said you are I think uh not so tough Teresita Larry, what are you doing? Maybe are you all right? Of course Went over to the blue grotto. It was closed. I got your address from the old woman across the street I'm so glad you come larry The raid I was worried you were at the field. Yeah, I saw the fires here and there's worried about you You were worried about me? Why larry? If that's not so hard to figure out With teresita I guess antonio had his peg right from the start He teased you about the picture Uh-huh He said my picture'd be up to you and And will it be there? It's a cinch swindler It's a cinch During the next few days there's great activity at the air base the airfield is clear the hangars rebuilt and again You take to the air with antonio faithful antonio the mother hen at your side fighting off attack Launching wild desperate raids into enemy territory And then on the fifth day comes surprising news news of a government victory in the north All talk of enemy spies seems to be forgotten and the following night is the celebration at the blue grotto A dozen or more pilots are there the laughing happy villagers and teresita by your side Only antonio is missing and as the evening wears on you notice the anxious glances toward the door Finally the door bursts open and antonio stands in the doorway His clothes are torn as a deep red gash across his forehead and his right arm dangles loosely at his side You watch the blood drip slowly from the fingertips as he makes his way across the room Teresita I wish to speak with you outside Antonio alone Now wait a minute, please mary Wait here All eyes in the room are on you larry for a moment you stand motionless And slowly you cross the room toward the door as you reach it When you step into the street you find antonio standing over teresita's body Crawled out on the sidewalk.  We found two photographs Photograph larry yours and mine Teresita white photographs They were the ones we had given her Don't you see she was an informer for the revolutionist These pictures this is how the assassin was able to pick our men You and i were We were next on the list Please senior We have been to her room. There were papers there letters No, no, I can't believe it the pilots who have already been assassinated their pictures as well as yours and senor antonio They were missing from her collection No, we did not come here for senor antonio We came for teresita madrones She was a spy for the revolutionistas The whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story Meantime a reminder to you drivers who have not yet taken advantage of this month's free signal safety service I'm referring to the free inspection of your radiator and cooling system being offered by almost 2000 signal service stations Throughout the west from canada to mexico With some are just ahead you want to be sure that your radiator is ready and able to keep your car cool when the weather is hot Supposing your radiator has become clogged with sludge and rust Then now is the time to have your signal dealer restore its efficiency with his special radiator cleaning compounds Maybe your radiator has developed pinpoint leaks If so, you'll be glad to know that signal dealers have radiator sealer which stops leaks quickly And even though your car is brand new remember It's just good business to keep rust preventive in the radiator to guard against future corrosion So take the first step toward trouble-free summer driving now Stop at your neighborhood signal station this week for your free radiator inspections There's no better way to see for yourself the more thorough more conscientious service cars get at signal service stations And now back to the whistler Yes, larry that was 10 years ago You were a hired pilot flying for the government forces and the revolutionists were murdering your flyers on the ground And terra cita little terra cita whom antonio executed as a spy Now as you stand at your hotel window your thoughts are not with the airfield you came down here to build No as you stare across the sun drenched plaza You realize you never should have come back to south america And then the footsteps along the hotel corridor bring you back to the present and of the thought uppermost in your mind escape All right, all right About time to fool on the camp listen how long does it take to You have a visitor in your sense You remember me larry uh Tonya 10 years is such a long time, but I have not changed much, huh? was What do you want? Romero, you will leave us alone Then your sons and I have some matters to talk about it will not take long see and about the You still want me to go? There is no other way. Yes call the police. We will be waiting Police of course Killing is a matter for the police. Is it not? I don't know what you're talking about. You should not have left your photograph behind larry After you left here, I think about you I think about you often I show your picture to people who once were revolutionary They know everything Then I wait for you to come back That none of them can tell me else.  Look, I I was just a kid I didn't know what I was doing. I wanted dough. They gave me three thousand for every man.   It fooled me for a long time. Antonio.

Welcome to the battle city shadow lock the rules of this shadow game tournament are simple over the course of the next coming weeks Me and my friend rhyme style will be dueling each other with 12 pre-built decks inspired by the iconic anime characters featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh battle city art each duel will be a best of three format and will be deciding what text we're going to use in each video by Spinning a wheel with all of the characters listed on it the only catch being if you lose the duel with that character They're deleted from your wheel once you're out of characters You've officially lost the shadow lock so who will be left standing at the end of this series I guess we'll just have to find out now And we are back last time as shizu successfully called out Merrick's future and was able to send him into the shadow realm Meaning as shizu gets to stay on my wheel while Merrick finally fades away The evil has finally been defeated on rhyme's wheel rhyme who you got left over there I There's one character. I don't want to spin and I believe that I spent the entirety of this series not getting them yet Honestly, it's a chance is well if you get the guy we both know we're talking about enjoy Wheeler I actually think you're the protagonist. I think you'll just sweep and that would be the most protagonist thing ever anyway Let's go ahead and spin the wheel Joey's deck looks more consistent than you Absolutely I'm loving this I'm loving this one.  Well, we'll see you in the duel Here we are the duel of fates is here. Oh, I like your card background. Oh, I like my hand Oh, I wish I had other things to play I'll just go ahead and set to face down and do I want to do this. Ah, I don't know if I want to reveal who I am yet I mean, you know why I am so I'll in my turn.  Honestly, I have fallen in love with this format I think as you guys are watching these videos You're realizing that I'm just becoming more and more of a fan. What MST? Oh, was it?  Yeah, you didn't think that nice nice Espiroba, bro. See the district me and you dotto is Insanely correct. Yeah, I it's pretty bad Me too, bro. I should have known that we were doing the same thing. Thank you for the monster. Thank you for the monster And then I'm gonna go ahead and tribute this. That's me. Yeah, I And I'm gonna go ahead and amplify myself so I can make sure I can work here. Oh brother What just to make sure this is the one time Correct because I know you have change of heart and stuff like that So I'm gonna make sure I kill you as soon as possible.  That means you're tributing it I am for none other than my Jinzo I can't attack but I'll go ahead and end my turn leaving nothing but my Jinzo on the field sadly I don't have an amplifier though This thumbnail is gonna be so funny. I just imagine two asperobus cheating off each other, right? I don't think you're reading that correctly Bro does not know how roof like powder works I mean it doesn't even work like that either to be odd it only does the damage. I don't think it destroys the monster doesn't I know you have Jinzo in a field before embarrassing for me Sucks. I just threw I held up through just now. I'll play reflect down or an attack mode because I know those swords are coming out To be fair though It's not like Jinzo is super important in either matchup because trap cards aren't really big in this matchup except for trap hole I just saw I just saw what you're drawing. I lost. What am I drawing? Am I about to get high? What is this?  That's in case it was a flip monster I don't think we have one of those but just don't have with monsters here I'll end my turn again as I wait for the Light to leave that bad. I can't out to Jinzo's the problem. I think it's up to the GG go next day Oh, man, I open soul crack too, but I was ready for the same I know none of us are ever truly ready for it I'll go ahead and set a monster. We have shadow of eyes. I'm trying to think of everything we have We do have a mirror for us, but again, there's really no reason to be afraid of that. So I guess I will play a little slow I'm not gonna bring out the double Jinzo strat just yet But something to be wary of something to be wary of reflect bounder. Go ahead with yourself. Yes, sir Why why why did you swim? I don't know to be honest. You're right. I guess I should have I had game but bro I'm not a mathematician. I'm a duelist. I don't math. I do bro.   Yeah, no, I Cannot play around that one. That's that's gonna be a you game right there. All right I killed your Jinzo you would just monster before in the back anyways very very true I but I will bring out the double Jinzo strat just cuz it's cool to have two Jinzos one of my favorite monsters in the entire game face up Looking good Jinzo looking good I'm not even gonna lie. Yes, I did. We both have the same strat. I was like, why is he sloping? I'm waiting for him to do this. I like I have to win here But it's just I wish you didn't have Esparova man. I know it's Esparova versus Esparova This is the match and then the worst part is even if you get the amplifier Jinzo combo in a field doesn't matter because it Yes, no, it doesn't trap cars are not that big of a deal. Honestly. I it's just a bad It's honestly. This might be Esparova's works towards matchup ironically. Yeah, Esparova counters Esparova Depending on who it's just literally who draws better and then after that it's pretty hard to beat Let's draw see what we got I'll take it I can work with this too. I have to be pot of greed first and foremost because that's always a good That's it's always a good time. I'm gonna set to nice trap. Well, you got there and shadow and I'm gonna reflect founder the question is Bro is coming up to all sorts of conclusions I think it's smart to do this first and I must set two of these okay, what okay? Well now I'm now it's curious because I think it's big eye It could not be big eye. Oh, wait a minute. I have a this is kind of crazy, isn't it? I'm gonna get crazy. I'm gonna get crazy. Let me change the heart real quick You're a shadow scout. All right. Go ahead bro draw That's fine. I'll take that. Oh, damn. That's what I didn't want to happen. Okay, okay And then I'll just tribute hero shadow scout. He's not it's not like I need that and I don't need the special summon. I guess Why did I forget that you could do that? All right, I am literally I'm literally just a guy bro. I'm just a guy Yeah, I was trying to take that from you but I missed we could actually just build a deck just let's do that reasoning I do have to go six obviously Okay Okay, and of course that was that was a crazy one. So all we did was get rid of ryekeke ref like bounder Don't do this. I'm gonna go ahead and just deal some damage.  Let's take some damage a little bit of damage We gotta even it out a little bit first Rose just beat me up and then pass. Okay, unfortunately the second Jinzo gets in your hand it might be GG's it could be and I'm going to push for that So let's let's play my reasoning because I definitely drew it as well I've been thinking on it though Well, you don't have Jinzo in your hand so I can save a pick six.  Hey man curiosity. You know how cyber radar works, right? You know why you're supposed to use it for right? No amplifier No, like the board car fire a profile works, too But you pretty much a bear works as well technically actually no Pretty much your barrier will just keep the monster alive this you wouldn't do you switch in targets? I don't think we'll destroy the card. It's it's for snatch deal. I'll tell you right now. It's for snap That's a pretty good one. Yeah, I didn't think of that I'm gonna go ahead and set this your reason why I just know no no, I'm just down.  That was done with me I'm playing pretty bad right now. I don't know why my brain is not working work brain work I'm going to set one and then I'll just reflect down or attack face down. Yeah, I big eye That's scary.   Oh, you have a trap. I can trap all I can trap all that okay So one's gone, but I am gonna tackle everything. Oh man. I did not just just barely alive Damn, I did not think really alive in a pass. I draw. I'll change of heart. Oh my god Reflect Vowder. I need a little more damage on board. So please don't be trouble. Anyway If you wouldn't draw a ginger right now to throw it up, I'll change the defense position I change mine.  Yeah Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Are you a genius?  Oh, yeah, that does count.   I We're kind of a weird standstill right now We are in a weird state of the game that Swords of Revealing Light is really weird right now You're kind of weird, bro. I'll go ahead and activate shadow of eyes Oh, that is big I was wondering I could I could really use a Swords of Revealing Light right now like that would really change my world This I hope that you do not draw into Jinzo here. Oh, it doesn't work like that. It's only only if it's in attack mode. Yeah, I did not know that Okay, well still Jinzo. I'll take 1200 damage that way. Oh wait. I have Swords. I sell Swords. You could have waited Um, I will go ahead and use Snatch steel on reflect bounder. I'll just end my turn there and in defense mode as well Interesting the rule. Anyways, my next draw is kind of crazy. What is it? Of course. You're gonna heal me, which is great Yeah, what about second reflect founder? Okay? That's a little annoying. Yeah, and I'm gonna set this to defense mode.  This is an interesting tool. That's dead.  I know your face now. They're just big eyes and hero shadow scouts wrong That's actually where you miscalculated and lost the duel because you forgot about the most powerful flip monster in the game Giving me change of heart back Oh, I will hero shadow scout though. I have no skills. It's almost I know I know but I have to I This is something I have to do then I played big guy. Yep game here. I don't Which is the I think I've rushed this I was only thinking in one turn though And I think I rushed that extra thousand you gave me was clutch Damn, I shouldn't play it snatch and steal. Oh, maybe I could have drawn a better card. I don't know. I don't know I don't know Surely that's all bait, right? Surely you've been sitting on like mirror for some for that past couple Well, let's let's go for it to what happens. No, I just genuinely okay. I was about to stay out of the probe I was just genuinely impatient. It's one way to play so godlike and then the last couple cents You were like bro because toss it all out my plan was so like Masterfully crafted and then I kind of was too focused on making sure that I'd be able to flip magician of faith without having to attack I was hoping you'd attack into it. No, no, there's no reason I was no reason to it was really smart. It's one one. Oh, there's a thinker one There's a thinker, especially when nobody draws ginzo Thing is ginzo would have gotten you cooked still because you were taking 2400 damage I just I think I just had to be more patient and hope for better defenses But I don't know it looks like you just had the upper hand in that one I think you had it what it's I also another thing I didn't I didn't think about before it was too late for me His brain control life-pointage is huge. If you get under 800 that is worth it. That's almost game It really is bad. Okay Um Yikes, dude, this is uh, no same actually.  I'll hero shadow scouting I'll even go ahead and just pop a reason. Honestly, why don't you tell why don't you tell me what it is? I always forget man. I I get too comfortable with us knowing what we have Uh, so I'll just play this in face of defense might be I do that a lot for some reason Damn bro, bro. It's because I'm used to just commentating single player yugioh videos, man That works. I will set one card. I gotta start you. I gotta start doing that But like as a bluff like I gotta start saying that without me. All right Just in case you lied to me that actually is something I draw um I think I don't know what the best move is here. I'm just gonna keep it I'm just gonna keep it simple until sword is gone. There's no reason for me to outplay myself Yeah, same here. I will I will set okay This is I think this is going to be a dual deciding moment by the way Hate I hate to say it. This isn't about to be a dual deciding turn for me So I'll set another monster and then I'm gonna flip hero shadow scout. Let's see if we can get some hits miss That's a miss That's fine. That's I mean, okay. I'll take it And that's a definite. That's a definite miss. Uh, let's try again. Let's try to that's I this is what I'm saying When I got it. Oh, that's awful. What are you doing? Why are you giving me all these balls? Okay, I I you know my reason was just I thought it was the move It's you don't have to do that. That's a thing of swords, bro I forgot about swords the thing is I just felt I felt so comfortable doing that right so I want to go ahead and regeki your field that's Terrible, I forgot we had regeki and I'm going to flip my hero shadow scout. Okay. Can I get some all brother?   Also, I'm surprised that counts. Wasn't that a special summon?  Damn. I'm gonna pass. Damn, man Let's set all of these thoughts not all damn that was I feel like that was a deciding moment of the series I will activate control.  Oh, that's it. Oh, I have game game That's game. That's game. No, you don't got game, bro. You don't got game I have game my next three cards. My next two draw cards.  You know what? Let's just do this first. Let's let's take this I was worried about that. Yep. And then I'm going to go ahead and monster reborn my fiend mega cyber back I you have zero chance, by the way. My next two draws will change your heart back to back I'm gonna set this to and I'm gonna just attack and win So even if you if you set a monster, I'm just stealing what changed your heart because it can be face down Oh my god This was literally a decision from god right here. I hate it. Oh, that's heinous heinous Uh, I know you have trap hole, but let's see It's uh, jenzo's on the field doesn't matter. Oh, cool But that actually was crazy. Um, and then I guess we just attack out. I know you have change of heart But we'll see what happens. Not just change of heart, but I have two. All right. Give me give me some monsters I'll take it. It doesn't matter jenzo's in the field. Uh, and change your heart I'm changing heart in both of your cards. Oh my god Yeah, yeah That's crazy. Oh that was nuts. By the way, I wish I didn't tell you about cyber. I guess you would have done it anyways Oh brother give me that give me that Oh brother Jinzo metal reflect and lightning robot cyber attack whatever the brother I played too bad in dual two Oh Can we just talk about the double scouted steal into pot of greed Into right that is that is the craziest set up. That was literally just that was literally just god telling me to hang it up That was just telling me to just leave bro Esparroba has been my goat of the series since day one and unfortunately he's cooked. It's it's over for a little esparroba He's let me know. I never I never bring up the wheel when I do this because I assume we're gonna have a better We're gonna have better graphics, but He's gone. He's dead. That's it for esparroba horrible horrible day in the sun for esparroba


But, Tony, you blew my mind earlier when you said, and I can't remember if it was our chitty chat chat or when it was, but it was definitely today, and ask the donor what their largest gift has been before. Tell us about that, because that's mind-blowing. Yeah. So, you know, as part of your needs discovery, and again, you know, I recognize that this isn't going to be the scenario with every relationship that you're building, right? But you're going to have those opportunities where, you know, the relationship is such that you can ask during the needs discovery part of the cause-selling cycle, you know, I'm curious, what's the largest gift you've ever given to an organization, and how did that make you feel? How did that make you feel? I think that's the powerful piece. How did it make you feel? You know, and maybe, you know, and maybe they'll answer, and maybe they won't. So then, so if they say, well, I really don't want to share with you the, you know, the amount, then ask the question again, that, you know, say, well, that's fine, but how did it make you feel? Yeah. Yes. Go ahead and use the opportunity to drive, you know, to drive and engage more passion.


Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another AI video. In this one, I want to talk to you about ChatGPT's new competitor, kind of. Well, it is sort of a competitor, but here's the deal. Stability AI, which is the company that created the AI image and AI art generator, Stable Diffusion. Well, they've released a new open source language model called Stable LM. Now, I got to state up front, it's early days. It's nowhere near as good as GPT or ChatGPT, but it is out. It is free to try. And again, it's open source.  You know how expensive those can get. So this is definitely something that you want to put on your radar. Now, if you want to try this out free and maybe do a comparison, see how it competes with ChatGPT, for example. I've got a link in the description below where you can go and test it out. It's currently up on Hugging Face. And yeah, again, it's free to try. And it's it's a little slower than I would like. But hey, it's still early days, like I said. Now, for those of you that want the details, this model is trained on a large version of or an open source dataset called the pile. Now, what that pile is of does concern me. Hopefully it's not a pile of, you know what? But it's it's it's trained on the pile and it incorporates data from sources like Wikipedia, Stack Exchange and even PubMed. Now, stability AI has said specifically that the alpha version is currently available and it uses between three to seven billion parameters, which if you know what GPT is trained on, it's not even close. But they're now currently in the final stages are very close to releasing a version that has 15 to 65 billion parameters and that should be coming soon. So anyways, try it out, give it a crack. Let me know what you think of it. Keep in mind it's open source. And yeah, the AI wars are just heating up, guys. Thanks for watching.


Welcome back to theCUBE, live here at Hadoop Summit in San Jose. We are towards the tail end here, day two. It's been a great couple of days. We've had some really great guests on, and that continues now. We're not done by a long shot. So we've got Jay Duff, CIO of L2C, joining us here in theCUBE, along with Will Daly, Client Solutions, from Chiseta, our good friend, I'll be founder of Chiseta. We had on a little earlier today, talking about analytics and the financial services business. So why don't we start, Jay, talk a little bit about your company, what you guys do, and then let's just dive into kind of applying analytics, big data analytics to the financial services. Okay, L2C is a well-established company. We calculate credit risk scores for individuals, consumers. Where we're unique is that we specialize with the underbank in particular. So obviously you're familiar with FICO scores. There's almost 100 million people in this country where FICO scores don't really provide the full picture of their credit risk. So you can imagine students, immigrants, people with some deep blemishes in their credit history. L2C looks at alternate data sources from a variety of areas, a variety of dimensions, and we use predictive modeling to provide something that begins to look like a FICO score. But again, it is applicable where a FICO score doesn't provide sufficient data. So what allows you to do that? Is it big data? Is it bringing in more data sources? How do you kind of go beyond what the FICO score is capable of? What's changed is with Hadoop, now we're able to look at unstructured data and bring unstructured data into the algorithm. So in the past, we would purchase data. It was always highly structured industry standard types of formats. Today, we can look at unstructured data, and more importantly, we can match it with the structured data. That's something that we weren't able to do in the past. The other thing that's interesting is, today we can trend it. So in the past, we would typically look at attributes for an individual at a specific point in time, and today with Hadoop, we can look at trends, we can look at accelerations. For example, we can look at home values, and it changes in home values. So in the past, you might look at someone's credit profile, and make a determination based on the value of their home, or the value in a neighborhood, whereas today we're looking at the trend for that neighborhood, and making much better use of historical data than we were able to in the past. Interesting. So in terms of the opportunity here for financial services, we'll maybe get your take as well. I mean, what are the big, this is a great use case, but from a big picture, what are some of the fundamental possibilities here when you're applying big data to the financial world? I mean, we know what the economy's been going through recently in the bank meltdown a few years ago. What, how can we, how is big data helping address that, and how are you guys helping to do that? Well, with the clients that I've been working with, I would tell you that the most immediate interest actually is in trying to understand their storage and their storage solution. So can big data replace tape? That's a very common set of questions that we answer. At the next level is actually trying to map out and understand their actual data. A number of companies recognize that they're very dependent upon their data, but they really have no overarching data strategies. And understanding and mapping out that data and be able to put it into a single source. And I think Jay, this is one of the things we accomplished. Really, we looked at all the different sources you had and actually finally gave you a single view of all that. And that's incredibly powerful. So just even those simple things like that, let alone actually getting into the determining how to add business value. And I think that's another thing that we're doing for L2Cs. We really see some significant future business value. In fact, you made a comment the other day to me, potentially this could do what for your business long-term? Well, long-term we see that L2C is going to be able to provide much more differentiated solutions. Today are able to provide different models for different credit profiles or credit applications. The credit risk associated with someone that's going to open up an account for a cell phone is much different than a credit card, which is much different than a used car. So our models are flexible as a function of the underlying loan type. What are some of the examples of these new unstructured data sources that might surprise people that actually have an impact on figuring out risk for a potential consumer? Some of the new things that we're beginning to look at revolve around education levels and employment levels. There's affiliations, you'll find information in press releases. There are complexities in being able to use unstructured data and unstructured data, and that's primarily where my focus is. There's also a lot of complications with privacy and there's federal regulations that dictate what you can and can't use to determine credit scores. So certainly we're very, very sensitive and making sure we're compliant with that. At this point, my challenge as a CIO is more can I take unstructured data and match it up and make it structured such that I can run it through a model. But again, these other non-technical issues are just as important. Right, absolutely. We don't hear a lot about security and privacy some shows like this, because we're focused on the analytics, some of the really cool things we're doing, but I think definitely, especially when you're dealing with sensitive data like you are and not just separate data points, but then as you combine them, you're creating a whole new set of really sensitive data. So yeah, how important is that to you, the security, the data you're complying with regulations? I mean, it sounds like it's pretty much key to your business. Well, it's a federally regulated industry, so clearly there has to be legal review and our customers, large lending institutions, are also very sensitive. They have their own compliance and they will audit us in detail to make sure that they understand the sources of the data and that we comply with all of the aspects of the law. One of the things that's interesting is we're beginning to get into aspects that the law really didn't consider. We can see the intent of the law, we can understand what was, the law was a mental accomplishment, and so we have guidelines, but it becomes complex as you start to look at the data sources that weren't considered in the past. Great, let me add a comment to that. One of the ways that we really need to think about this is in terms of asset value. Data has tremendous value, but if you can't protect it, you can't secure it, that value goes to zero. So there's more than just the regulatory, there really is a business driver for why you need to manage the security, the access, the authorization to get to that data. Very powerful, very important. Many of the clients I work with, they consider that data to be one of the most valuable assets they have on the board, so this is a significant issue the community has to address. So kind of going above and beyond potentially what the regulations are, because the regulations are sometimes behind the time, so to speak. So are you finding that your customers are looking to go even above and beyond what's required of them? Absolutely. And it's in terms of how they use the data, again, to provide value to their business, just to give you a practical example, social security numbers. There's a lot of types of analysis and reports you can run that you don't need access to those social security numbers. On the other hand, people from the HR department would absolutely need those. Our value is that we can take all that data into a single source, right, and then provide different views into that data versus the old way of building the data for HR, another one for marketing, right? But if we can't solve that problem of guaranteeing that only the HR people see those social security numbers, we've got a problem. And this is a very key driver that we need to solve in the community. If we're going to hit the business community the way we intend to. Very interesting conversation. Security, analytics, yeah. I mean, security, like I said, it really, it comes down to, you know, topic that doesn't always get a lot of coverage, but I think it really needs to in this context. When data, as you said, is such an asset. So thanks so much, great conversation around analytics, security. There's, you know, a lot more we can talk about. Thanks so much for being on theCUBE. We appreciate it. We'll be right back from Hadoop Summit live here in San Jose. Thank you.
