And now with the men who couldn't lose and with the performance of Jean Kelly as Leonard Snell, the lucky New Yorker. We again hope to keep you in touch with him. You feeling all right now? Sure. Sure, I feel swell. You'd better not talk anymore though. Oh, why not? I got nothing to worry about. That's what I'm telling you. Something's happened to me. I'm not scared. Just like old man Marphy said, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, well, it's happened to me. Something's happened to me that doesn't happen once in a hundred years. And it all happened in one day. Yeah, it began this morning. Leonard, don't try to kid me. You're not asleep.  Sure, sure, sure. Okay. I cook your breakfast. I come home and cook your dinner. In between, I work behind that counter all day until I'm so tired I can't hardly stand up. The least you can do is get up and drive me to work. Sure, I will. And what do you do? Nothing. Now, listen. You don't call what you do work, I hope. When did you last sell an insurance policy? When? I bet you can't even remember. I'm sure I can. All right, all right. And when you do get up enough energy to sell one once in a while, I never see the money. Horses, sweet state tickets, and numbers, anything. Just so long as you can gamble it away. But do you ever bring a dollar home? Not that I ever hear of you.   I pay the rent when it gets paid. I pay the grocery bills. I pay for everything. You think at least I'd get a little appreciation once in a while. I appreciate it. I hear about it enough. Well, why don't you do something about it then? Listen, Celia, I don't feel so good today. Sure. That's what you said yesterday and the day before. That's what you always say every time anybody talks about work. Well, I'm sick and tired of it. You promised you were going to get a job this week and you're going to do it. Celia, there's something I got to tell you. Oh, I suppose you want to weed with some money out of me again. Well, if you can't even keep a little lunch money in your pocket. No, Celia. Listen, it's more than that. Oh, it is, isn't it? I suppose you got another hot tip on the races. Well, if you think I'm going to...  Well, I'm not... Listen, Celia, I've sold quite a few insurance policies in the last six months. Oh, you have, have you? Well, where's the money? Oh, don't pull that on me.  All right. I spent the money. On the races. Yeah, and it wasn't all my money. What do you mean? I mean, I'm $1,800 short and this is the last day to settle up my accounts for the company. You stole it. Oh, I thought I was going to get it back and make it killing. I had some tips that were supposed to be sure things. I get it. $1,800. Quite a coincidence, isn't it? Well, $1,700. What's the difference? And it just so happens that I have $1,800 in a safe deposit box that Aunt May left me this spring. Quite a coincidence. Celia, I've got to get that money back to them today. Well, I don't believe a word of it. And you're not going to get that money. If I don't, they can send me to jail. And if I did believe you, you wouldn't get it. Maybe a few months in jail would teach you a little consideration. You know I got to have an operation sometime this fall. You think I want to go into a charity ward? Celia, that's been giving me five years. You've had your eye on that money ever since you heard I got it. But you're not going to get it. Why do you think I wear the key to that safe deposit box around my neck? Celia. I suppose you think I have a notice. Celia, Celia. I suppose you think I don't know all those times you tried to get that chain off my neck when you thought I was asleep. Well, I wasn't quite as sleepy as you thought, Mr. All right, Celia. And don't think you can wheel it out of me. All right, Celia. Ben, bring it away for me. I bent over. She was dead all right. The key was on the little chain around her neck just like it had always been. I anchored the chain and it snapped and the key came away in my hand. I shaved and got dressed and then I went to a purse. It was $9 and some change in the usual junk and that Irish Sweet State ticket made out in the name of I'm a winner. I put the money in my pocket and the ticket in my wallet. I was all set to go now except for writing the letter. All of a sudden I realized that what I was doing didn't seem strange to me at all. It was like one of those dreams where you think it all happened before some time. I wrote through the police. I have killed my wife in the fit of anger. I can't go on living anymore after doing a thing like that to Celia. I'm short in my account, too, so there's only one thing for me to do. Don't bother looking for me. By the time you get this letter, you can find me in the city more. Yours truly. I need to smell. Oh, good morning, Mr. Marsley. I just had some great news. I knew you'd want to hear about it right away. Well, I'm in sort of a hurry to smell. All right, all right, where do you hear this? You know that citric acid dye formula I've been working on? The government has just bought an option on us. They're going to try it out under factory conditions. When they do, my boy, it'll be worth a million dollars. What do you know? That's really great. I have decided to take out that annuity you've been trying to sell me. Is that an application with you? Oh, oh, yeah. Come on in, sir. Good morning. Oh, my land. You look as though you've just seen a ghost or something. Just hold a policy. You don't sell them like that every day, do you, my boy? What's that first premium? About $3,400, isn't it? Yeah. Well, there's a nice commission in that, eh? Well, that's about $1,800, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. 18. Well, Leonard certainly deserves it. He works very hard. I see him coming home every evening with that grease case and all those papers under his eyes. Most of those papers are the racing forms, aren't they, Leonard? Well, I... Now, my boy. Watch out for those bottles. Pick the gas. You know, I've been watching you, Leonard.  You believe a lot in luck. Now, I've got a theory about luck. Yeah. Now, when were you born? Oh, March 1st, 1878. Yes, sir, luck is something that can come in big doses sometimes. Almost as though fate had planted out ahead of time. Uh-huh. Who's the beneficiary? Oh, my wife, of course. It's a perfectly good mathematical explanation for it. Of course, a number of unrelated events converge, and they all add up to the good fortune of a single man. Happens once in a century, perhaps, but it does happen. Uh-huh. You can make a check out the... Oh, well, of course. Why don't I make it out to you personally? Then I can collect that three-month wrench you owe me, huh? Well, for sure. I'm sure that'll be $3,255. Oh, fine, fine. I'll make it right out. You know, Leonard, I was saying to Sam just this morning, I'm almost as glad for your sake as for I. My would see you be surprised. I said, would see you be surprised. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah. Hey, where is senior? She usually used to work along before this. Now, I was here, huh? Well, I see... Oh, Leonard, don't tell me there's anything wrong. I know she hasn't been feeling well lately. Oh, no, no. She's got a little headache, you know. Oh, poor thing. Why didn't you tell me? I'll go right up there. Oh, no, no. No, you better not. She told me she wanted to sleep. She's asleep now. Oh, well, then I will bother her. Well, my boy, you should check. Right.  Don't worry. But you keep playing your luck just the same. Luck is a funny thing. You've had a lucky start today. Maybe your luck has changed. Yeah. Yeah, maybe it has. Why couldn't you sign it yesterday? That's all I could think of for a couple of minutes. Why couldn't you sign it yesterday? That was done now. Oh, I got in a car and drove downtown. First, I went to Celia's bank and got that $1,800 of the deposit box. Nobody said a word. Then I went to Marthory's bank and cashed his check. I had over $5,000 now. I drove over towards the park. A clock in the jewelry store said $10,000, $15,000. That was plenty of time. The park I stopped and gave them once over to the bomb sitting around on the benches in the sun. There's always a bunch of them there. Pretty soon I see a guy that looks about right. Hey, hey you. Me? Yeah, you want to make five bucks? You mean a job?  I just hurt my wrist. I can't drive. I've got to go uptown to meet a guy. You want to drive me? Oh. Okay. You got a license? Yeah. Yeah, I got a license. Let's see it. Okay. There. Hmm. Floyd Eustace. Omaha, Nebraska. You're kind of a long way from home, aren't you? Yeah. It's okay to drive within this state if you've got a license driver with you. Okay, Floyd Eustace. You'll do. We get in the car and head uptown. My luck is holding all right. This guy couldn't have been better if I'd looked a week. I see another clock. It's only a little past 10.30 now. I've still got lots of time, so I decided to clean up the details now. How am I doing? Okay, but turn right at the next block, Floyd. I want to go by the 43rd Street Post Office and mail a letter. Sure. You could mail her a letterbox, though. Yeah, but, well, I don't want to mail a letterbox. Oh, okay. I go into the Post Office and get a stamp and mail a letter. The letter I tell her about killing the chief is just addressed to the police commissioner, 21 Center Street. Somehow I just don't trust the letterbox because if the police don't get that letter right on time and start looking, it's not so good. I go out and get in the car and tell Floyd Eustace where to go. We head uptown, and after a while we get to Fort Hyatt Park right up on the street. We try and park right up above Riverside Drive looking over the river. It's hardly ever anybody up there this time of year, so I feel pretty safe. Sure enough, there wasn't. I got the monkey wrench out, and I had it in my hand. This right? Yeah. Just pull over there up against the rail. Gee, I never been up here. Must be quite a drop down there. A couple of hundred feet, huh? Uh-huh. Is this where you're supposed to meet the guy? Yeah. Yeah. I dragged him into the back seat and took off all his clothes, and then all mine. I changed clothes with a mic down to the underwear and socks. I put all my papers in his pocket. My license, old man Marfrey's application, my wallet, the words. Then I dragged him up front again behind the wheel. Then there was something else I had to do that I didn't like much either, but I couldn't take any chances. I held his head back against the seat and raised the monkey wrench again. I hit him in the face. I hit him a lot. Stand back now. Stand back. I tell you, officer, it didn't land more than three feet from me. Not more than three feet. What happened? This car just rolled off the palisades up there. Somehow it landed smack in the middle of the street. Gee, look at his face. He must have gone right through the windshield. Poor fella. Guy named Snow. Leonard Snow. I was free. I was free of stealing you and all that belly aching. I was free to do anything I wanted. I had five grand in my pocket, and the cop had Leonard Snow's body down in the morgue just like I told him they wouldn't have let her. Oh, my luck was holding but good. I went over to the 181st Street bus station with the bus leaving for Boston in 20 minutes. I bought a ticket. Then I got a paper in the corner and went into the cafeteria there and sat down at the counter. I was pretty hungry. What's yours? Scramble eggs with bacon, French fries, orange juice and coffee. And I got to catch a bus. It won't take long. No longer than it takes an egg to scramble. Excuse me. Well, that's all right, Mike. I like to read a newspaper while I eat myself. Kind of aids the digestion, I find. Yeah. Here's your orange juice. Thanks. Some guys have all the luck, don't they? I said some guys have all the luck. I was just noticing in your paper there about those Irish sweets. Take one of these. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, something. What's the matter? Do you feel bad? Have all of luck? When I came to, somebody was swabbing my head with water. I paid my check and got out of there somehow and looked at the paper again. That's what I said, all right. I'm a winner draw favorite in Irish sweets. My ticket. And I went on to say how it was worth at least 40,000 and maybe 150,000 for horse one. And all of a sudden I was standing there cursing and swearing at Celia right out loud just as though she was alive. So I saw people were staring at me and I stopped. Hadn't it been for her, I'd have 40,000 dollars. 40,000 dollars. No, now that's 40,000. It's just a one-way ticket with a hop seat. Because that 40,000 belonged to Leonard Snell and that Irish sweet ticket was in Leonard Snell's wallet. And Leonard Snell's wallet was in the pocket of that bum that was supposed to be these. Now the cops would have it along with the rest of Leonard Snell stuffed down at headquarters after they put the body in the ward. Well, I still had my five grand and a bus ticket to Boston. You can't get all the breaks all the time with what I figured then. So I got in the bus. I have plenty of seats in my hair. This seat taken? No, not at all. Sit right down. Thanks. Well, well, somebody must be feeling pretty good this afternoon. Huh? You gotta check that there. I'm a winner. That's ticket and a sweet. I see it says there they're paying 40,000 dollars for it right now. 40,000 dollars. Yeah. I sure like to see in history. Wouldn't you? Yeah. And I see it says there. Do you want to read it? Well, you don't need to just do it. Just give it. Holy. One more. I gotta get out of here. Make up your mind. I don't have to make up my mind, brother. It was right then that I got the idea what was happening. It was just like old man Marth Lee said. It may only happen once in a hundred years, but it was happening to me. Oh, my luck was riding high. And when your luck is like that, you just can't lose it. Because there it was. Right in the paper again on page three. Freak explosion in Brooklyn kills three. And it was my house. And the people killed were Marth Lee and his wife and Celia. They thought it was caused by old Marth Lee's chemicals or something. I didn't know. I didn't care. All I knew was they thought Celia had been killed by the explosion in the fire. And I was in the clear. I was walking to the police station, get my sweet steak ticket, collect that forty thousand, be set for life. Oh, I knew just what I was going to tell them. It was a lead car stage. I was walking on air all the way to the police station. I was going up the steps. Then I stopped. Because I just remembered something terrible. And if I remembered a ten seconds later, I'd have walked right into the electric chair. I remembered the letter. I was led. My morning across it had that letter. Telling how I killed Celia. That letter that I'd taken all the trouble of mail at the forty-third street post office, so I'd be sure to get off all right. Well, even worse this time I had before, because it seemed like I'd almost had that money right in my hand. I was pretty shaken. I went into a bar to get a drink. Double rye. All right, sir. I could have a chance around the side, huh? No. That'll be it. Just leave the bar there. I couldn't lose. I simply couldn't lose. Because those mugs that stuck up that nail-tuck had got my letter. Nothing in the world could stop me now. Officer. Officer, I've just been held up. Held up, huh? Yeah. Well, what happened? Well, I picked up a guy who asked me for a lift about 225th Street and Broadway. I was driving along by Van Cortland Parkway. Suddenly grabbed me. Then he hit me with something. I saw how I remember until I woke up lying in the park. My car was gone. I found how to take my wallet. I will everything. I see. What's your name? Leonard Snell. Leonard Snell. Yeah, that's right. Hey, Lieutenant. Yes? The gentleman is Mr. Leonard Snell. He was held up this morning and his car was stolen. Sit in here, will you, Mr. Snell? Why? Sure. I... Is that news for you, Mr. Snell? Did you find my car? Oh, yes. I haven't seen the papers today. Not just this morning. I... I've got some good news and some bad news for you, Mr. Snell. Maybe I'd better tell you the bad news first. Pretty bad. Go ahead.  My wife? Killed? This probably won't interest you much under the circumstances, Mr. Snell, but you've drawn a ticket worth $40,000 in the Irish Quick Steak.  Some people sure have all had luck in the world. Luck? Well, then about 15 minutes more things were happening to me that can happen to most guys in a dozen lifetimes. And then comes a jackpot I've been waiting for. Yeah, I wish you would hold that. Well, hold it, Mr. Snell. Hold that for us right there. I've got one more thing to tell you. If you care to make a statement, Mr. Snell, would you mind telling the public how you feel? I know it's pretty tough, but you can just make a statement. Please, follow, please. I'm here to cover you with this time, Mr. Snell, but, see, the banking that I represent is prepared to offer you $40,000 in cash for your Quick Steak ticket. I have the money right here in cash. All right, but I don't care much about the money now. $430. By six, I have $45,000 in my pocket in cash. And I'm registered at the Waldorf and sitting down to send it. I'll take the Plank Steak, please. Please, meet him. Yes, sir. I'll have your order very soon. Why don't I sit down?  Not exactly. I'm proud of a collector. You owe me $40,000, pal, and I come to collect now. $40,000? Why, I don't know. Yes, you do, pal. Remember that little letter you wrote to the police commissioner this morning that you mailed it to 43rd Street Post Office? Remember that? Some friends of mine found it. They figure it's worth just about $40,000.  You want to make something of it? There's a big reward. There's a comp right outside the hotel. Kind of figured you'd play ball. Where's the letter? My friend's got it right outside my car. You still got that bill in your cash? Like the paper said? Yeah. Come on. All right. Dang, you're a pretty lucky guy, pal. You owe somebody else you got that letter. Don't worry, pal. You'll see what it's made with me. Here, here's the card. Hi, Franky. Yeah, and he's acting real reasonable, too. Get up the cash, pal. You recognize the letter, don't you? Yeah, here's your money. Then here's your letter. Only don't try anything funny because we still know what that letter says. And the cops could always dig up the body and find out how, well, how you're already really picked off. Goodness. All right, thank you. Guess the idea. So long, pal. Officer! Officer! Those are the gasses. Howdy! Come on, get down! I thought we were talking about gasses! Officer! Guys, there's something. You? I'll stand by this man here. Okay. What's up, Jerry? We just had a little shoot-mic with those male robbers. The other boys got him down the street, but this poor man was shot when they fired back. Hey, what's this letter here in the street? The rest of the police commission. But no other shot had it in the hand before he fell. You better open it. It might be evidence. All right. No, no. What? No. Leonard Snell again. Better put a guard on Snell at the hospital, Jerry. Well, look for this letter. He's gonna stand trial for murder. You better not talk anymore, Mr. Snell. What's the difference? What's the difference how much I talk? That's what I wanted to tell him. I'll take this letter. I'll never go to trial. Because I got luck. Don't you see? It comes once in a hundred years and I got it. I got that kind of luck. And when you got that kind of luck, you can't lose. You can't lose. Ah, you can't lose. Yeah, I got a guard. That fellow Snell as long as he's here in the hospital. But did you ever see them like that? I don't suppose one man ever had so much luck in one day in the whole wide world. Ah, well, I guess his luck has played out now, all right, though. It's funny. He said you can't lose. Well, he's long there. Look at that letter. He's gonna fry. Except be sure that my name is Jerry Malone. No, you're wrong, Jerry. His luck is still good. What? He's dead. And so closes the man who couldn't lose starring Jean Kelly.

As you built your business, was there a big aha moment for you? Yeah, I would say about a year after I started putting up videos on YouTube to help agents. It took a while, right? But I didn't do some sort of the queue, which is quit, right? That's right. I started getting calls and emails and text messages and comments and requests. And people are saying, hey, I love the content. And they just wanted help, you know? They're like, hey, you know, where can we buy leads?  And I just get started getting all these questions. And that's really how we now have seven companies to help insurance agents. Yes. And it's morphed into the fact that it's all focused around, you know, what do they need and how can we help them? And one of the things that I learned along the way, when we released 8% Nation, it was literally about 12 to 13 months ago now. That's when our business, like our YouTube channel has almost forexed since then. I stopped thinking small. Most people always say, you know what? You need to, you just need to invest a ton of money and figure it out. Well, it's easier when you actually are good at a business and you have cash flow to then reinvest back in, right? So then you can become committed and go all in and figure it out. A lot of people didn't even know who we were before we released 8% Nation. That's Ray Lewis and Grant Cronin and all that. So that was a aha moment for me that, hey, you've been thinking way too dang small and you need to wake up and grow up and freaking go.


Not everyone receives a million dollars for the Enlightenment they have shown. This kind of award is given to exceptional people who have advanced the understanding the historical past significantly and this will be the subject of our video today. But first, there has been a mouth-watering array of discoveries emerging out of the Egyptian region now for as long as civilization can remember, only recently have we begun to understand these very ancient things and of course our understanding is still flawed as we attempt to piece together a time that history tried to hide from us. From ancient Nubia all the way to the Mediterranean, the ancient empire that once engulfed this entire region is the biggest fascination in the history of humanity. On par with our fascination with space and indeed astronomy and at the ancient sites we can see connections to the stars that makes us think there must be more. The discovery of the ancient things all throughout the rise of civilization as we know it has never slowed down. In fact only 10 percent of the lost civilizations have been recovered or rediscovered from the sands of time and the discovery of these things is now accelerating at an unprecedented rate. For one reason, Sarah Parkack, wait to hear this. Dr. Sarah is a renowned American archaeologist conducting her studies from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is responsible for some of the lesser known discoveries in the region and is responsible for surveys and excavation projects in Egypt's Fayyom, Sinai and East Delta regions. The new field research that Sarah has brought to the forefront of ancient discoveries is called aerial archaeology. It was earlier referred to as space archaeology before the development of advanced satellites to read the terrain and discovering these things that were lost. She is a detective of the past trying to figure out exactly what happened here in antiquity and why it is we don't know what that was. With each discovery comes a sense of overwhelming loss. Something happened to these people but what? The modern age of archaeology didn't start in Egypt. It began in Peru where for the first time a little over 100 years ago the most advanced technologies of the day were used to uncover and document Machu Picchu that had been long forgotten. This was the first time state-of-the-art equipment was used to begin our acceleration in understanding. Recently the ancient architect uploaded a video of footage that was captured in 2015 by Brian Forster, a strange sculpted monument that almost looks like the pre-planned layout of Machu Picchu. Could the ancients really have designed their city in the mountain before construction began? The sculpture allows water to flow through it perhaps Machu Picchu had a similar function that has long been forgotten and this ancient sculpture may have been the centerpiece of an ancient temple complex to celebrate the achievement of Machu Picchu. Whatever the sculpture is it certainly is stunning and in such fine detail that it is almost unbelievable and we will of course link both Brian Forster's footage and the ancient architect's video on the subject below so check that out after you finished with this. It is very apparent we don't know who we are and we don't know who the ancients were either. Almost as if we have occupied the earth at separate times as other earthlings like we are just lodgers here for a brief spell of time and we are using this time to try to understand the past because it attracts us with intrigue and our intuition tells us there must be a reason for that. Anyway Dr. Sarah is the greatest living discoverer of these things in Egypt using the satellite technology and crossing that with remote sensing techniques that involves the infrared pattern. She is solely responsible for no fewer than the discovery of 17 pyramid complexes, 1,000 tombs and an astonishing 3,000 settlement sites just outside of Sal el-Hagar in the western Nile Delta much to the dismay of Zahi Hawass who was quoted as saying the following on her discoveries. This is completely wrong information. Any archaeologist will deny this completely. This year Dr. Sarah released her book titled how the future shapes our past. Based on her methods of archaeology from space she has blown the door wide open for future discoveries and excavations of her own discoveries will probably still be apparent in 100 years from now. As we pointed out with the modern technology used at Machu Picchu 100 years ago our advancements in the future will uncover the secrets of the past. Of course Chuck over at CFAP's 7865 channel has been doing this sort of research as well. Using the satellite data from Google, Chuck has been instrumental over the years in pointing out these anomalies where they may exist and Mr. Vandenhoven as well found the lost pyramids at the lake Morris using these methods and if you missed that guys we will link that below as well. Dr. Sarah Parkak is not a sensationalist. She is keeping her feet firmly on the ground. Rather than joining a continuous array of Egyptologists who follow a pre-taught path the good doctor is taking a fresh approach with open-mindedness and the results have been spectacular much to the worry of the education system who still spout the long tails of the history of Egypt with nothing to back it up except their own interest in the matter of self-prosperity. In a recent interview with the New York Times Joshua Sokul she makes the following remarks. We spend a lot of time looking at articles and books. What are the types of features that you might find in this area? And then we start testing different algorithms or different remote sensing processing techniques. It's kind of like a detective investigating right? We're looking at what techniques what satellites what processing methods work. 999 times out of a thousand you fail miserably because welcome to science but you have those one or two things that may be a hint of something and you just keep noodling it until you figure out what works. So I was actually known as the satellite girl which is problematic on so many levels but there was a cohort of us in the early 2000s that really started applying the technology on a much larger scale. I think the work that I and many of my colleagues did helped to open a lot of people's eyes. I gave a talk at a big archaeology conference about 10 years ago and this creaky elderly professor from Harvard a very imminent scholar came up to me I thought oh no he's going to say something he goes when I get home I'm going to do a Google like he was going to check out Google Earth and look at his sites I'm like yes so yeah it's been a battle but I think we're there. She really is an impressive person and still only just 40 this year imagine what she's going to find in the next 30 years of research as technology develops and not only that she is also changing people's minds that were set long ago. We are including her next statement as a reflection of her refusal to bow to the pressure on all sides. She is determined to make her own mind up and this is what we love about her when she states archaeology is this incredibly rich field that helps to show the full trajectory of our humanity all the good and all the bad all our creativity all of our foibles the fact that our common humanity hasn't evolved in 300 000 years while our technology has I wanted to show how archaeology really works and what we actually do with the evidence we have and how all these amazing new technologies are helping us to ask new bigger and better questions about the past did we mention that she has also been accredited with the discovery of the ancient city of tannis the one in the indiana jones movie that was lost to time at the time the movies were made pretty neat right but what do you guys think about dr sara comments below and as always thank you for watching


We're continuing our discussion on good mental health with solutions focused life coach and behavior expert out of Woodstock Vermont, Dr. Neil Miranello. I'm your host Matt Kelly, we're glad to have your company we'd appreciate it too if you'd like this video to give it a thumbs up or even to subscribe. We're continuing our discussion and our topic today is one that I like to think of is actually a pure nealism. I've heard it for a number of years having been a client of Dr. Neals. So for me it's old hat but even as I wrap my mind around it, it still blows my mind even today our topic is all human systems are flawed. And Neil of course, the original thought here was that all systems are flawed. We amended it a little bit to give a caveat here that all human systems are flawed and like I say when I think about this, you know, I can get down because when you start examining it I mean this this is really deep and profound and and affects every facet of everyday life for every human on this planet. Yeah, I think that obviously the area of my specialty is is mental health and mental illness. At the same time, it was through exploring that that I came to this conclusion that just just about all systems are flawed whether it's all human systems are all systems. My brother, who was a computer expert talked about the possibility that there are computer systems that are not flawed. I suppose if you, if you take them out of context that's probably true but when you look at the entire system, it's definitely the case but but I'd say the best way to explore this is pick a system. And I'll be happy to explain my associations with it and the ways in which it's flawed. I mean, I mean to that end. I mean, you can pick any system whether it be the judicial system, the health care system, our DMV, any, any system that we live on. Why don't you just pick one. You want to start with judicial. At one point, I probably testified on more cases than any other shrink in Vermont. It helps to have had two parents that were lawyers and two kids that are lawyers.  But this simple reality is that the judicial system is set up based on laws and laws are good, but the judicial system also is based on on case law. And when you take any one case. You'll find that it doesn't apply to any other case. In fact, when they cite laws they wind up citing one case to make a case for another case. Another factor of course is that when it comes to laws laws are are passed by legislators and legislators are being influenced by lobbyists and lobbyists have specific goals in mind and operate with a single a single purpose. Not necessarily what is best for the United States of America or any other country. But are there flaws in the system. You don't have to look back more than six months to see the flaws in the in the American system. And, and, you know, what comes to mind for me here are unintended consequences. I mean the law can have you know the purest of intention yet unintended consequences, thereby prove your rule that you know all human systems are flawed. And even if you were to take it to that extreme of say medication. But it all has unintended side effects that you don't want. And that is an example that the system is flawed if I'm, you know, going that all I need to have my eyelashes longer, which there's a, you know, cosmetic product out there for that. So you have to take into mind all the potential side effects of using it, which could be even worse than than the ailment you're trying to cure. Oh, absolutely. But going a step further beyond that what you're talking about when you're talking about medication is often the drug companies and drunk drug companies are basically corporations who exist for the benefit of the shareholders. We don't have to go back very far to realize that some of those drug companies wound up using their medications without consideration of the implications. Many drug companies have wound up coming up with millions, hundreds of millions of dollars to pay back for the fact that they were pushing drugs as strong or stronger than heroin on the average person by convincing doctors that this was the right way to go. But it gets worse than that. The simple reality is that there are many things that I disagree with Bernie Sanders on, but I have to say that he's pretty much on the nose when it comes to drug companies and healthcare. You know, as we examine the question again all human systems are flawed it can be pretty disheartening when when you kind of really look at it. And so the only way that I can try to take solace or strength from it is to be well armed with that knowledge. So that I am not surprised or upset if the system or whatever has been created by a human ends up breaking down. That's exactly right, Matt. So here's where science and belief come into conflict when someone believes something to be true, and acts as if it were true. And there's no scientific basis for it or there's very slight scientific basis for it. They're indulging in a possible delusion, a fixed false belief. The difficulty with that is that if you act as if that's the same as science, which is a method of disproof, then you run into enormous problems. The simple fact is that that facts are facts and they exist and they can be backed up or disproved based on what the data is that you have the problem is that beliefs come in conflict with facts. And what happens, some people operate as if they beliefs were facts. That's a problem, and it is probably the single biggest problem with any kind of system that that has human elements, people who, and it's not just a problem it's even a problem for scientists, you know, much of the research done on drugs is done by by scientists who are working for drug companies. And the mechanisms for confirming whether drugs are valid or invalid are going to be used are going to make the be the positions desk reference has to do with comparing them to placebo is not taking into account the incredible power of placebo is so understanding the flaws of any system. It's really good for you to be able to make a decision about what is really best for you. I specialized I think in, in studying these systems, and in telling my clients as much of the truth as I can come up with, including when I don't know the facts, and where they can go to get it. Sometimes the internet, often it's not some of the internet sources are are nothing more than an attempt to sell things to people using facts in quotes. It happened to me recently. I was in a situation where I was received an email that said that that shark tank, which is a show that I've seen a few times on TV, had recommended and totally backed a particular medication for losing weight. And as you know, weight has been a big issue for me over the years. And I read the article, I went ahead and ordered the stuff, and then found out that shark tank never mentioned this had nothing to do with it. So I engaged my system, which was the particular credit card that I was using. I let them know that I had been built. And they checked it out and came back to me and said, No, this is, they didn't say the system. They didn't say that they actually shark tank it proved it, but what they did say was the way in which it was handled was totally acceptable. So I wound up taking the hit. With the full awareness that I have been built. No better way to learn than getting conned by somebody. Well, and that, you know, is a flaw of the internet, if you will. And it's also a flaw of the of the email system. And it's also a flaw of the credit card system, which I was using. In fact, I made my main credit card a different one after that company that is more customer friendly. Yeah. Yeah. The one thing that you know was coming up to mind here for me is, you know, this also sort of serves as a as a guidepost for me and I would hope for those who are watching as well in the pursuit of perfection, which you know can be a neuroses as well.  So the pursuit of perfection really is sort of the Mobius strip as you and I've talked about. Yeah. Yeah. And, and something of a a time related problem. In other words, what was perfect 20 years ago or 30 years ago was not perfect now and will not be perfect under 20 years from now. But an example of how systems are flawed. You don't have to go very far. Obviously I'm familiar with the mental illness system. What it comes down to though is that in the early DSM diagnostic and statistical manuals of mental disorders. There was a disease called Involucional Melancholia. Now, Involucional Melancholia sure sounds like a serious disease. In fact, Involucional refers to menopause. Melancholia clearly refers to depression. Involucional Melancholia was a disease which existed in one of the early DSMs, but it was basically a setup for rich men who were married to their first wives to get rid of their first wives and to marry their trophy wives. What they had to do was add their, their wife diagnosed with Involucional Melancholia institutionalized, and then they could get divorced and marry a younger woman. Involucional Melancholia no longer exists in DSM. I wonder why. Yeah, yeah. The other thing that was coming up here was for me anyways, was the fact that I need to be forearmed that any system I look at is going to have a flaw and, and to back that up to its source. All humans are flawed. I'm flawed. Me too. I don't know anything that I were to create or even you were to create as much as we would try for its perfection or to be free of flaws. There's going to be flaws in it, because that's the human condition it seems like, you know, now we go back to everyone's doing their best. It's true that you're doing your best. I'm doing my best perfection to me is a false goal. I'm trying to do better now than I did a month ago and I hope I'll be better a month from now than I am now.  Heaven for one person is not going to be heaven for another person and what's hell for one person is not going to be out for another person. You have to look at it from the individual perspective and knowing my flaws, which I have spent quite a bit of time studying is something which helps me to figure out what's right for me at this moment. And that goes back to one of our other topics that we all live in our own reality. Exactly right. And the reality that I live in is one where the goal is to understand reality understand what is real. Not just what is real for me but what is real for the person I'm talking to, or the system I'm dealing with. You talk about human systems, you're talking about families, you're talking about communication within families, and you have all kinds of ways in which those systems can get screwed up. If you step on my toe.  And the pain that goes away in a very short period of time, unless I decide that Matt stepped on Neil's toe on purpose. If I decide you stepped on my toe on purpose, then we have a potential feud that can be going on hundreds of years from now. I remember back in 2021 when Matt Kelly stepped on Neil Marinol's toe on purpose. That's why Matt's descendants and Neil's descendants have had a feud for the last several hundred years. It's all in the attribution that you give to the motivation of what's happening and that's a common flaw that gets made in all human systems or family systems or communication systems. It's all again and we talked about this on this podcast series. It's all in your response again. And your perception of the intention. I have found over the years that to assume that people's intentions are good. Usually works a lot better than to assume that they are crazy or evil, even though they may be crazy. It doesn't much matter. What matters is that when you assume they're good, the person has to say, Oh no, I waited. I'm crazy. I'm evil. That's not a correction many people make. So if you assume the person's intentions are good, it's possible to go from there in a direction that helps them to be better. Wow. And speaking with Dr. Neil Maranello continuing our podcast series on good mental health as we examine his tweets, our topic for today's discussion is all human systems are flawed. You know, if we take that human out that caveat out for a bit. To me, I would say then that that is not necessarily an accurate act euphemism, only because to me it seems that nature is perfect even in its imperfection, if you will. And so I would say that that word human really has to be in this theorem that all human systems are flawed. Oh, you make a good point there. I think that George Carlin had a very good point about nature versus human beings, and he said there's nothing wrong with the earth. The earth will be here long after we're gone.   Humans are the floor. There it is. Well, I have to tell you I'm thoroughly enjoying this topic it is as I refer to one of the nealisms that I like to refer to is sort of one of the top 10 basic concepts that describe you and your philosophy as you share it outward. And for me, I can say that I honestly benefit from it again it's not something that's in the forefront of my mind but it probably should be more and it would probably help me better to cope with the challenges of living in a flawed system. Well, it doesn't matter what system you looked at you look at whether it's capitalism or socialism or any other social construct whether it's religion. They all have flaws in them. Sometimes the best way to look at a system is to start with the with money. What extent our system set up to produce money, rather than to produce what's best for the people that are being served. I've talked before about the idea that that any, any group of people, whether they be lawyers or psychologists or psychiatrists or medical doctors or, or any any other group of people. The first rule is not really written down, which is protect the other people in the group. When the first rule should be protect the people who you are serving. And often the financial benefit is the one which can be looked at as the flaw. To what extent is this system out for get making money, rather than serving customers. All human systems are flawed. Again, when I think about it. It brings me back to something that you just said, which was social constructs. And in a sense, you know, it could be a printing press, let's say which is actually a physical construct versus a social construct like our justice system. And I think we see this concept, certainly more in our social constructs than in our physical constructs, but this it transcends both. Yes. And, and if you look at the printing press or any even something that's that tangible. If you look into the background you often find that the background shows that the person who invented the particular object is not the one who's getting the benefit of it. Often not even the one that is credited. And everybody kind of agrees that Thomas Edison was a great inventor. And those who've looked into it in detail find that a lot of his inventions were done by somebody else. Right, right. Tesla being an example and yet, you know, sort of goes back to again what you just talked about. And that was about the need for profit, certainly in this physical construct, if you will, which was the electric grid and the invention of electricity and. And that was at his motives where I don't think Nicola Tesla was thinking that he was thinking much further far ahead, and not using that pedantic viewpoint and thinking of how could humanity have benefited and maybe that was his flaw. Well, nobody starting point. And I'm not sure this is what is more than my tweets are not but a starting point is that nobody can predict the future. So whatever it is that you come up with, whatever the invention is whatever the concept is whatever the social construct is, you know, an argument can be made that God is a social construct right. There are probably more people that have been killed in the name of God, and any, for any other reason than yet. The truth is that if you really look at it carefully, everyone has a different concept of God construct the social construct is. served by various religions, and various individual perceptions, but deciding okay I'm going to buy the social construct that the Catholics have over the social construct that the Protestants have or those over the social construct that the Jews have or whatever they're all. They're all constructs which come out of interactions among groups of people in which, if you actually take them one at a time and you say okay describe exactly what God is to you, you will find no two are alike. And, and you know as I apply this to our current paradigm, if you will, and that, you know, people see institutional racism, or things like that. It's, how can you not see it in a sense, how can it not be there. If it is a human created system.  They're looking for perfection. And like it or not the system that we live in here in the United States seems to have been one of the best yet that's been created. That's a very good point, you know, and when I was studying testing, which is something that psychologists learn. It was very disturbing to me to understand that all tests have enormous flaws built into them. And IQ tests are a good example, you know, it was very early determined that IQ test discriminated against African American people. What you have to take into account, though, is the fact that there are errors in every system and understanding those errors and using those errors to figure out how can you actually use it to help people. The concept of diagnosis, for example, is an extremely interesting one. In the 50s and 60s, psychologists were quite different from psychiatrists. The medical profession basically took over the concept of mental illness. And they required it to require any emotional illness to be called a disease. There's no plug test for schizophrenia. There's no way you can tell whether someone has a passive aggressive personality disorder, which probably doesn't exist anymore because whoever the person was who insisted that be in the DSM may have died and replaced by another person who was interested in paranoid personality disorder. When you look at the systems and how they change over time, what you wind up realizing is that it's all a matter of social construct. The idea that the way a person thinks has to be in some level called a disease means that we are all diseased. Maybe disease should be thought of as a hyphenated word, dis-ease. Right.  What you wind up with is the simple fact that these are all social constructs. They're all things which exist for the purpose of serving the present need, but not necessarily the need of a week from now or a month from now or a year from now. One thing that comes up for me on this is that there's a power dynamic in any one of these human systems. And that is going to contribute to the flaw, if you will. And we spoke for a minute there about profit being just one example of that. But you're bringing up another one, which is very good, which is that most systems, most human systems are authoritarian. They're set up with an organizational power structure and the person at the top has the power to fire people below. And each person below can be assigned certain responsibilities. I remember taking a course in graduate school in which the only variable was the organizational structure of any organization. The teacher gave an assignment to each of us come up with a problem that exists in your organization and come to the next session with that problem and the structure of your organization. And the first person he took was a woman who described a personality conflict between two people in the organization. And the teacher said, let me see your organizational structure. And he pointed to the two places, the two slots in the organizational structure. And he said, these are the people we were having personality conflict. And he was right. The very structure of the organization naturally set up those two people to be in conflict with each other. And when you start looking at the system, you have to look at all the variables in the system. And it's very hard to, but once you get what I call the bestault, the whole which is more than the sum of its parts. And then you can usually project the rest, you can say, oh, okay, maybe this is where the problem is. And then you have an opportunity to actually change it. I work with individuals and I work with families and when I work with the systems, whether it be a community, my question is who's my client. And if the client is a system, and I look at the system in terms of what can be done that hurts the fewest people, the least, that gets the job done, so that the flaws can be corrected. And I do suggest that that's a way that we out here in the everyday world also try to go about our interaction with these systems. I mean, you know, the question is, how do we survive when the starting point is to recognize that what you see as the problem may not be the problem. In fact, I tend to approach things from the perspective of doing my best to understand what the whole picture is. I say to my clients, if I'm good at anything, it's, give me 25 or 30 pieces of 100 piece puzzle, and I can usually paint in the rest, but I can always be wrong. And when I see another piece, it may be that it needs to be changed. The bottom line on it from my point of view, though, is taken to account and figure out what are the important variables here, what are the ones that are really enforcing what goes on. And many studies have shown that often we get hung up on a specific detail, and that becomes more the focus when it's not the real problem. The scene in Catch-22, Joseph Heller's seminal book, in which it's the Help the Bombardier scene. And Yossarian is doing his best to deal with the Bombardier who has a broken leg and he's trying to heal the leg. And finally, after taking care of the leg and the guy is still complaining, Yossarian realizes that the guy's been gut shot. And the focus on a particular thing can always create a butterfly effect. In fact, one little thing affecting all kinds of other bigger things later on that you didn't anticipate. Wonderful. Our topic again today with Dr. Neal Miranello is all human systems are flawed. We're continuing our podcast series examining his tweets. You can follow the Good Doctor online on Twitter at coach Dr. Neal. Neal, your final thoughts on this theory and nealism as I like to refer to it is that all human systems are flawed. How do we go forward to, you know, manifest what we want in our lives when we have to recognize that the social constructs as well as the physical realities that we live in are not perfect. Yeah, I think the starting point is to take a look at your perspective on a system and see whether it's a perspective which opens up options or closes options. Authoritarian systems tend to close options tend to say, do what you're told or else. Other kinds of systems that we obviously were authoritarian system would be like a libertarian system, which has huge problems too because a world without without rules doesn't work. And when you have, if I can, I consider mental health to be directly proportional to the number of options you have. And so if you approach a particular problem from the perspective of what are the possible solutions to this problem. And I want to be open to all of them, rather than to, you know, close my mind to such a degree that I only see one possibility. I just like you to push down the wrong domino. And I also think it, you know, maybe this is just me but maybe through our work. I think the human mind likes rules and sort of wants rules. And I can see that in my own everyday life, you know, as we talk about ADLs and, and that, you know, I need to have more structure, so that my life can actually function more efficiently and be perhaps more fulfilling. If we didn't have these social constructs, flawed as they are, I think we would probably live in a much different reality that might be even more fearful than what we live in today. So going back to something we talked about before, again, my reductionist philosophy brings everything down to cocktail and attitude. And the cocktail is, in fact, the rules that you follow on a daily basis. And, and I follow my rules very religiously, except when it doesn't work. You know, I normally meditate three to four hours a day. I got a call from my son in the middle of my meditation today and I had to interrupt it in order to talk to him. And I had some fairly heavy meetings today. At the same time, maybe the cocktail that I've done every other day helps me to get through today so far. The attitude is really the assumption that there is nothing perfect, but there is a right way to deal with this situation right now. And if I can tap into that, what comes out of my mouth will be the right thing. The cocktail and attitude that's going to be a topic of another one of our podcast episodes for sure. Dr. Neil Maranello is in Woodstock, Vermont. He is a solutions focused life coach as well as a behavior expert with near six decades studying the human condition. On behalf of the good doctor, I'm Matt Kelly. We're both wishing you good mental health.


What's good Josh will rocks back again with another video, so we're gonna check out pro wrestling try not to win to look away Challenge six now. You're probably asking what happened to part five well guys, I Literally just react it to part five before reacting to part six literally a few minutes ago and When I was done checking out the video I realized I didn't press record on my OBS So I sat there and gave a reaction to part five Didn't record So knowing me I Can't fake that that video is insane. If you haven't seen it go check it out. It's on BDWJ BDWJ can't even talk BDWJ Channel y'all go check it out the previous video Look away challenge part five. I don't want to Rerecorded and fake the reaction cuz I already seen it y'all know how I get down So I just went ahead and skip to part six So yeah, if you haven't seen part five go check out part five. That's why you don't have a part five man I'm sorry y'all. I I just got so excited to get into the video.  I always failed. Oh and FYI I did fail in part five I'm probably gonna fail in part six. Let's get into this This all over again.  Oh my god.  Oh my god.  Oh my god Okay, that's That was a pretty cool maneuver. That was a pretty cool Okay, Joe RVD, okay Better going for that like cradle say no soup Damn, bro, it's that it's that my man hit man, bro. Oh man look like you fell in the mission, bro Okay, it's getting it's getting real intense right now, bro the pipe the the the lighting fluorescent tube in the mouth break It's getting real intense. You got the skewers right now. This is getting real intense I'm all for the equal rights for equal fights. We got there. Oh, come on. Oh my god, though. Oh My god, oh That's that gotta be it Did say equal rights equal fights, but you know She's Oh, not the thumbtacks not the thumbtacks. Oh Okay, that was cool, but it looked like he landed badly. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no See this one. I've seen this one on the main page That was insanity. I think so Oh, I Know his legs are just done. They're just they're done. They're done.  I still haven't looked away. It's just That was insanity. Oh my god, bro. Oh Oh, I didn't think she was gonna even do that. Yeah, that gotta be it Oh He got caught up. Oh Okay, nice reversal there I don't even think the ref saw Yeah, he launched him we've seen this on the main page. Oh That was actually pretty impressive The way he is able to type wrote that most of that That's pretty impressive That was pretty impressive Who are not the side of the Oh, that was dad Oh the disrespect and the right going up top that boy Darby Jesus why oh Kevin scene Matt's over oh Oh, oh Okay, okay.

She just got super kicked in the face just because she was there That was pretty cold-blooded But yeah, I didn't look away this time. I think I fit. I think I passed the first time in this series I don't think I've ever passed in any of these videos. I did not look away and I didn't win Sorry that you guys don't get to see part five I just don't want to re-react to it and pretend like I haven't seen it even though I have but this time I was able to press record y'all so y'all should be able to see this but comment down below Let me know if there is any part that made you win to look away And if it did time stamp it down below, but I appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all next one


Dobro vsi, sem Francesco Rivanti, je prikratnico v PISA. Protožite, da se vse pomembnimo vsega vsega vživljenja v italii, in vsega v enko občasnih projekte, na kvalitativni in kvalitativne analizi. Zato v moj imednje je naredil na vlitečnih, se boje vsega lahko izvijati, nekaj z vsega vsega vsega vsega vsega vsega vsega. Volečenih je zvisne, da je od zelo zelo početne, ker je zelo, da se predstavljali. Sprav se je izvanje in zelo si tako všeč in in in do rečenih, koli se je vsechačenih rečenih, če tudi iz toga postavljenja, in zelo je vsečenih, narediti se izrečenih. V Italiji je zelo, da vsečenih je začen, as a group of people who are fascinated about archaeology and they want to be involved. This idea lays at the root of the regulation and the promotion of the involvement of volunteers, and I believe that we need to focus more on understanding the possibilities of interaction in their meaning. So, let's see, okay. Let's see the three examples of participation of volunteers in archaeology in my research. My three case studies are Mastachukoli Romana, Pojo del Molino in Vignale, and they are three roman sites located in Tuscany. Pojo del Molino in Vignale are archaeological excavations. I'm going archaeological excavation while Mastachukoli Romana is a small archaeological area recently excavated in different kontekst in different ways. All of them organizes outreach activities from guided tours to theatrical performances, sportive events, and so on. And this stakeholder analysis recently conducted shows that different kinds of volunteers have an interest in each site. Probably the most common way of involving volunteers in archaeology is excavation. At Pojo del Molino, most of the volunteers who participate in the project are provided by the American NGO Earthwatch. They pay for experiencing a period with archaeologists, supporting them in non-technical operations related to excavation. They usually choose to come to Pojo del Molino for learning the basics of archaeology, and since they are not Italian speakers, supporting outreach activities as guided tours would be very difficult. They only take part in non-technical operations related to excavation. According to the field director, one limitation to the program concerns the recent ordinance of the ministry that prohibited the involvement of volunteers in excavation, in technical operations related to excavation. The second example shows a different situation. At Vignale volunteers are the members of local associations and single persons. They spend their spare time supporting archaeological outreach with the aim of promoting the project with investigating their local history. Without their help for the archaeologists it would be impossible to set up any complex outreach activity. For example, the last year Giuseppe, that is the man here in this photo, took the initiative and planned an event on two consecutive days. Giuseppe is a resident of Follonica, a small city near the excavation. This event was organized as a conference in the city hall of Isontown, Follonica, and a guided tour at the archaeological site the day after. His target were the members of the Universitat de la Liberata, a special university for elder people. Archeologists were glad to extend their public to this new segment, only reachable with the help of Giuseppe, and Giuseppe was proud to make people aware of this excavation conducted in their territory. The last example refers to another way of conceiving volunteering. At Masachukkoli, since the end of excavations seven years ago to summer 2017, the small archaeological area has been managed by the local archaeological society Gruppo Archeologico Massarorese, from now on GAM. GAM is mainly composed of local people who are very passionate in taking care of and in promoting the archaeological area. For them it was like a second house. They used to organize many original initiatives with the help of a scientific director. In the focus group conducted with some members they stressed their affection to the area and as you can notice from the word of Gino, they emphasized their work as a team. Each member has his own role and starting from his expertise contributed to the organization of the event. So verping back to these examples, we can notice that volunteers are single persons, each one with distinctive interests in and attitudes to archaeology. The historical value, the capability of the site to convey a relation to the past is common to all the interviewees in the three case studies. Moreover, at Poggio del Molino, American volunteers wants to learn the basics of archaeology, emphasizing an educational and academic value. However, at Masaciukoli Romana and Vignale volunteers are based in the territory and they have the chance to support and propose outreach activities. This interaction is directed at announcing the social value, defined as the capability of the site to provide a place for social gatherings and the cultural value, though the capability of the site to build affiliation in the present. We agree that all volunteers take the initiative of doing something and as reported in the interviews, they have a plurality of interest. This is the core of their participation in archaeology. Engaging themselves in activities tailored on their interests, they start a personal meaning making process and at the end they will have a story to tell. This story probably would be not relevant for the archaeologists but will be the memory of the experience for volunteers. Last week I was with archaeology at the Roman site and thank you very much for your attention.


The new head of Wagner was announced. Pavel Prigodzin, the son of the Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigodzin, who died as a result of a plane explosion, was the head of the private military company Wagner. This was reported by the permanent representative office of Wagner. It was reported that the recruitment of Wagner, which is part of the Federal Service of the Russian National Guard troops, has been resumed. We only hire civilians, not those in prison. The availability of documentary evidence about the appointment and reorganization of Wagner by Pavel Prigodzin was not reported. It is not yet known in what capacity he will lead the mercenary group and whether he will be given a military rank that will allow him to assume the position of commander. The Russian Guard has not yet made a statement on the matter. It should be noted that Pavel Prigodzin was born on June 18, 1998. He is the middle child of a businessman family. According to Yevgeny Prigodzin, his son served in the military and then signed a contract with his company. Wagner served as a scout and drone operator in the group, participated in military operations in Syria and Ukraine and was awarded the Black Cross Medal. It was reported earlier that Yevgeny Prigodzin's son would be appointed in his place.


As an initiative to bring together American and Japanese sailors, members of Sosobo Sailors' Core U program fight for captain's cut points. The U.S. won the last event, but today, the tables have turned. We got very overconfident with ourselves, and we're like, oh, we got this, but the Japanese, it just came out. It did their things. While everyone wants to win the game, the real reason for these events is much bigger. The United States and Japan will have a better understanding, so it's pretty good. I love it. Even though they're fighting for the cup, they're also building bonds and bringing these countries closer together. Pani Officer Christina Coffey, Fleet Activities, Sosobo, Japan.
