You need a tiktok guy with a broccoli cut and earrings maybe one day if I get a billion dollars I'll just open up a bunch of harm and she changed using a shotgun being in the OC to be in a dad to wipe the tables to make in films and commercials as you can see on the sign no beef up that the tomato bait expand your kanji power you got pandan cream on top of a watermelon soy sauce dip the 626 holds a special place in our heart and represents a unique place in America from Chinese Korean Chowkow to Hanoi Fuga to Gamjitang to Chengdu Bing fund straight from New York there are always new spots opening up in the 626 so keep an eye out for trends that might come to your city in a few years all right you guys the very first spot on our brand-new summer 626 food crawl is Kyoto Gyo Katsu straight from Kyoto Japan we're talking about fried beef katsu no man throw that thing on right now look at that thing sizzle aren't you guys so we have a sizzling metal plate right here we've got premium beef that has been like shallow fried very quickly man telling you it cooks quick yeah I actually burned my finger touching this stone grill so very be very careful this thing is hot this piece is like even more well done than I need I've got a wasabi mayo right here I'm gonna dip it with this like yuzu ponzu right here Kyoto Gyo Katsu honestly no that is like seriously like whipped cream on top of dudes yeah it's very different I've got to say like there's not a lot of these restaurants honestly there are a lot of fun things going on all at one time Gyo Katsu is just expanding out of Japan and other parts of Asia like more recently so it's pretty cool that the first spot they picked in LA was Alhambra hey man we in Kyoto style in Alhambra and it's pretty cheap too this was like 44 bucks wasabi on beef here I got the spicy noodle and I think it's really funny because this one actually kind of tastes like a budae jigae or like an army stew you know from the Korean side so and there is actually a lot of like what seems to be spicy kimchi in here mmm 6-2-6 feels like Asia this was amazing I'm sure we're gonna try like 45 different things here but we got to go on to the next spot let's go all right our next brand new concept in the 6-2-6 is actually coming from the OC the Vietnamese stronghold we got pho dial cow they specialize in pho guy chicken pho as you can see on the sign no beef pho yo now are you excited about this man they're bringing all these chance of the OSEA they might bring Cafe Lu up here all right let's go get some pho guys here we have the pho guy you know pho guy this style is actually more from the north but the owners of this spot are from the south so they got their own style on it here we have the wide noodles very soft you have the chicken on the side here I have my pho guy dip and then here you got the dry pho and the soy sauce dip which I've never had before so I'm looking forward to trying that you poured it on let's go in man all right I'm gonna dip this chicken in huh mmm ooh that broth so good it's super clean although I've had dried chicken foot not quite like this with how many onions are on top you got white and green onions and you got the pho at the bottom I chicken pho from the dial cow region soy sauce dip mmm the grilled chicken really good and one of the beautiful things about the 626 is that you know as much as it pulls from the people who move here that want to start businesses they're actually pulling a lot of chains from outside whether that's OC or Asia or Japan or Thailand wherever it is man that's why the 626 might have some of the best food in the nation I'm just excited man I just like 626 being just so so pan-asian plenty of peppers in that mmm we're ramen concept in Tokyo Japan specialized in a tofu pork broth we cook in house for about 24 hours original things are number one seller here the spicy one is actually my personal favorite it's like a mild spicy nothing right finally we got our food here ramen again I'm excited I have the red king look at this man it's beautifully crafted back there I got the thin noodles Nelson what do you got I got the green king which is a basil pesto base so this is kind of a fusion ramen it's supposed to be a little bit Italian influenced and you know there's a lot of Japanese and Italian fusion all the time so I'm very interested about bacon pieces you got pork slices red king this is Jimmy's personal favorite brought this delicious super porky and very spicy mmm for 1450 a high quality bowl of ramen this is a steel and you know what I love about this spot is that they really do not take shortcuts everything here takes time the broth takes 24 hours this egg is marinated for 12 hours look at that beautiful it's like a basil pesto ramen I've never had this before this is incredible I recommend all ramen heads try this one this is unlike any ramen you've had before all right going in on the karaage which is their personal mayo sauce all dark meat made that's actually an egg sandwich mayo sauce how is it with the egg mayo it's good with the balance of house with the honey glaze on the top probably one of the best chicken karaage arranged especially with the dark meat oh man aren't you guys this is the original I love it when chains come over from Japan because I really feel like it's just the next evolution I think the 626 is gonna be a great training ground to see if these brands from Tokyo from Fukuoka from Kyoto can make it in the US the Japanese brands are executing their North American locations like with this tier they got a good chance you've got to go with a thick noodle THICC and you've got to go with firm thick and firm all right here we go guys chashu bowl you guys over the years I've had a lot of different ramen shops in the 626 I think ramen nagi is absolutely the number one so far now you think this is the best ramen spot in 66 100% the best ramen spot that I've had in 66 all right you guys we're here with the house manager we're here at Yuan's this is Chongqing hot pot tell us about this brand because it's from China right yes I'll be the China's of the Chongqing city I said no morning as a Chongqing hot pot more and stuff more as oil and more numbing all right you guys this is a chain from Chongqing which is pretty cool which it sort of explains they got this like buffet appetizers right here all right you guys this is an incredibly authentic Chongqing experience I got the lamb of course I gotta go into the spicy broth that's what Chongqing is known for now what are you about to put the shrimp balls in pass it out like I do on the court everywhere you know that the tomato bait this is a very classy high-end crowd in here they've got the Chinese jazz playing like we said flavors straight from Chongqing I'm gonna go straight to the you'll get this is young broken a lamb shoulder slice all right going in on the lamb my own sauce you can definitely tell that quality is higher you guys saw Dalong Yi you saw Heidi Lau come in now it's for the deep cut chains from China Chongqing to come over and let me tell you this their quality is on another level the garlic the spices everything incredible guys be warned authentic Chongqing hot pot is not playing around it is a different type of spice than the Sichuan one but to the uninitiated it's just really hot either way if you eat Heidi Lau you gotta try this place right but you guys we are at tea char they got a lot of cool stuff here that's very very unique like we said again this is a yam yam style of Xinjiang barbecue that has been fused with Korean culture over the past 40 years char it's pretty good man I'm gonna dip it so usually when the skewers are you know done cooking you take them off the grill and lay it right on top so they don't get burnt are the Korean aspects that are influenced from the NBN Korean Autonomous Region we've got the steam day we got the kimchi I think it's such a dope pairing because it gives people what they want from Korean barbecue spots but it gives the fun to our experience from the Chinese side here we got the Chaoshan lamin or in Korean it's known as nem yang of course is the cold noodle for a long time people did not know places like NBN even existed or in places of like Dongbae Korean culture is really popular right now and I think that this is a blending of two cultures that you're gonna see a lot more often let's try this lung men and skewers perfect pairing late night Korean spot without some corn cheese aren't you guys I would definitely say check out Tika Bob check out these NBN Korean Chinese Chinese Korean spots and what I really like about the Chinese Korean stuff because you have all you're eating all this burnt fried spicy thing and then you have the Korean cold noodles really good way to cool it cool everything down yeah hey guys who knows what we'll see in the future village New York to the 626 now the two places we be at you guys have just opened your new shop here like what made you open in the 626 because of weather we love the weather it's all sunshine every day's warm all right here we got the Musang King durian jelly and chill man shout it to our friends from New York City that started one out new six to six man I'm so excited for them fresh durian let's go the 626 appreciates high quality durian and I'm really liking this man I really think you could go eat at all these different spots there's men there's another spot across the street there's Mao Lu Bien Bien you can come here for dessert share one of these all right man here we have a ridiculous creation you got pandan cream on top of a watermelon bingfun I'm so excited because I just think bingfun has so much potential in being more and more popular it's healthy refreshing cools you down it fights eat hay I could hear a heartbreak I don't know check out jelly and chill in San Gabriel aren't you guys we're here at Gamja top they specialize in Gamja Tong which is a Korean pork next to this is really what gives it the really unique flavors the Perilla right I think when people think about Korean food they're always thinking about you know kimchi gochujang sesame oil but do not sleep on the use of Perilla leaves Gamja Tom with Perilla leaves it's the best Gamja Tom in West 626 whoa Perilla leaf noodles here we go sticky this is very interesting you guys know how I do I'm the mixologist so I want to take some of this Perilla leaf noodle I'm gonna set it up real nice there take some of the pork neck right there mmm very unique flavor Gamja top I give it a 4 out of 5 if you're looking for Korean food in the 626 in the middle of the Chinese zone definitely check the spot out gonna be the Arbaki sausage cheese egg rolls potato fried green beans at the she's so basil with pork belly pork belly here pork belly with asparagus okra the shishito pepper yeah I have the goma spinach it's gonna be the chicken skin covade with garlic sauce covade with palm juice sauce shrimp shiitake mushroom scallop chicken thigh with the ordinary sauce I know the mushroom with pork belly the cherry tomato with pork belly and the chicken thigh salt it's gonna be the yuzu pepper it's really popular for the skewers it's citrusy and this is the sudare it's like a vinegar so we put this on top of mix it together and dip into the skewers ok so far my favorite yakitori skewer here at Shinsengumi was this chicken thigh with spring onion I think it's really cool that this tier of yakitori was not really available prior it was only like a little Tokyo thing maybe Torrance but now the 626 they have a like a good tier skewer spot absolutely this is good spot for you to come with your friends call it a day just hang out my personal favorite has gotta be the toe baby this was delicious little mayonnaise on top right down the middle let's go all right guys here's the goma spinach it's spinach in some black sesame seed sauce never had this dish before in my life on a place like Main Street where you have like Gen BBQ your big catch you have all these different Asian and non-Asian and very Asian-American concepts you also have Shinsengumi it's a really cool place and honestly the build-outs interesting looking too so it's just a vibe listen they got photos of Sumos when you enter the building okay it's like just a regular roasted potato but let me tell you this it's done yakitori style so you know it ain't regular oh buttery well the best roasted potatoes I ever had in my life actually alright everybody we're here at magic milk and this is like a brand new boba shop here on Main Street they're talking about oat milk there is no dairy in this entire place between their cookies and their boba I got the Jasmine oak milk tea with boba here I have the strawberry milk matcha with fresh strawberries on top hey cheers all the lactose people I think what's cool about this spot one I do like the flavor of oatmeal because in a lot of the drinks when I get a chance to I always order oat milk but also I think this spot is just so Asian-American between the whole aesthetics it's I don't know I could just see it appealing to a lot of different people there's nothing really traditional about this one well cookies and with their drinks I think they're pretty good it's not too sweet kind of tasteful you know with the oatmeal maybe I like it all right our next spot is a well-known spot called afters ice cream I mean they really led the way as far as like that so cow orange County Asian-American culture inspired a lot of small businesses and they got a new item called the ube brownie let's check it out guys this is the ube brownie there are bits of brownies chopped up in there very very good ube flavor fairly sweet to my liking but overall it's pretty good no I think ube is one of the best Asian dessert flavors of the past like 20 years and obviously afters ice cream man it really embodies that so cow dance crew Asian-American vibe where you know I think a lot of Asians they want to work here or come here not to feel traditional right aren't you guys we live in New York City right now the home of all this Americana pizza culture however there are LA skateboard pizzas now that they make in funky flavors have you ever had these before I have not actually surprisingly living in LA this is new to me let's check it out and you got a perm and you haven't had skateboard pizza aren't you guys there is so much LA skateboard memorabilia around right now and the owners actually are Filipino they do have a seasick pizza but we didn't want to order the whole thing so skateboard pizza that is definitely a west coast pizza stylistically but not bad at all pretty good yeah definitely not bad I got to come back and definitely try some of the Asian flavors especially the Filipino one all right you guys you know I have a new item that meat chin noodle this is a chain from Xi'an China uh well Xi'an China based I don't think actually the chain is from Xi'an and that shit BUSSING! BUSSING! is it's like recipes from Xi'an but they're still working with what the California climate geography import export situation allows for so oh at the bottom there being fun hey yo guys man the for seven dollars the fruit is super fresh and they give you a lot this is the brand new real mango drink guys let me tell you this meat chin noodle is very very underrated they have delicious Xi'an food and actually some new delicious fruit drinks oh my gosh that's like straight up like fresh mango puree this is good this is good no suburban Asian enclave paradise is complete without 85 degrees and no 85 degrees is complete without new cultural items like the Aussie meat pie bread of course you got a Hokkaido custom milk bun that's no brina all right I got my Aussie meat pie let me see how this is goodness kriosh Hokkaido cream um you don't want to think I'll notice under 85 C over the year it's definitely adopted more western flavors yeah and I think it's working because you know what the bread is so fluffy whoa this was a five out of five yo this was already better than a lot of meat pies I had in Sydney and this is a very rare taiwanese mooncake called a dungpo like dungpo grow and they've got cheese yo song you saying it has everything in it it has everything in it guys you cannot believe they got pineapples the egg yolks okay here I have a you have being that's in the circular shape and it has a pineapple yolk oh it's a pineapple it's actually a mix between taiwanese fungi and a kanto style wow everything in it I would recommend it try it but it's a little overwhelming I like the pineapple mooncake a lot I'm feeling this one Andrew this is a mochi egg tart um you know the egg tart it's got to go through more iterations right look half don't hey making everything mochi is really really popular nowadays very very trendy I like the texture but I might have to roll with the original egg tart all right you guys wear a gin tea house they have their new invention here now have you ever seen kaitansai in this on a stick no almost like a yutan you look pretty good just to show you guys it's got red bean on the inside and I think these actually have boba on the inside wow that's crazy on eight one with no boba but I like it though you guys everything is a skewer now everything is shelling six two six night market eyes and same with the Hong Kong egg puffers pause that yo now yo you eating the ball filled with balls yo aren't you guys we're at eco sizzling pot guys you know we always come here because they always got new stuff this is their elevated americanized version of huangmenji huangmenji is yellow braised chicken it is from gin on but i'm telling you this they got quail eggs in it sausages in it all types of tofu in it and of course we got the uh mala michelin what do you know about this hey when I was out in asia man we ate mala michin a lot they love it over there basically it's a spicy noodle soup during my stay in asia man went to a lot of different provinces you know try to put the different foods and I've got to say a lot of good food in asia man all right you guys this is an elevated huangmenji let's see how it fares against the ultra traditional style mala michin here we go you guys I'm such a big proponent of huangmenji maybe one day if I get a billion dollars I'll just open up a bunch of huangmenji chains or help them expand very authentic flavors man got the perfect amount of mala and spice not super spicy perfect on a cold day but and a hot day I got I got a good question for you what would you say to other like southern chinese from mcow hong kong where they're not really used to the mainland flavors what would you say to encourage them to try it get out of your comfort zone you know my dad you know he grew up in you know southern china now he loves all the northern china chinese foods man he loves mala all right everybody they got this pineapple beer drink it is not alcoholic i've never had it before they also have like their kind of chinese compote so it kind of tastes like beer because it has some of the hops in it hey you should have shot done this bro another huge trend that is making its way over from china to the us even though it was originally inspired by western french items anyway are the deluxe cake spots no they were serving slices of cake for like 10 11 12 dollars for a slice or the whole cake a slice i'm done bro like i said guys there's a lot of people from china opening up businesses they like really fruity foofy things but they're putting an asian twist on it mango grapefruit and i don't know if the french people that invented the milk crepe would have uh ever predicted this type of flavor that's yours it's good mango layer cake part is good i did not expect that because there's a tartness and a tanginess due to the grapefruit i'm gonna go ahead and give that a 4.5 out of 5 i'm gonna have to give it a 4 out of 5 for sure and you know i don't like my sweets but this is good all right our next spot that's brand new is mr champion in arcadia it's a hong kong style spot and yes i'm always glad to see new hk kanto spots opening up in the 66 because as we know there are many different sides to cantonese cuisine and different styles so upon seeing the food here we have the churng fun and we have some juke but the churng fun is actually more guangzhou style and actually the owners are from toysan so it's a little bit more mainland style here we have the pike what juke right here with preserved vegetables this is very delicious and yes it's a little bit less hong kong style but more like we said mainland cantonese style here we got the pig knuckles aka the juice so you know with some chinese broccoli did you eat this over in macaw a lot in southern china when you're there i mean this was a popular dish out there i personally didn't eat it a lot but it tastes it tastes pretty good here we have the ao lam churng fun oh it's falling apart that's when you know it's delicate it's delicate it's nice i'm going in on the dry shrimp and egg churng fun yo now what do you think about this style versus like the hong kong style which is more flat and straight i like this style more where it's easier to eat all right here we have the pike what juke and this is like a juke that maybe not all like the young kids would order because uh it has like the preserved vegetables in it but let's go in reminder there are a lot of different kanji's out there and you should try them don't just go for the pey dan saoyuk juke only expand your kanji power um falls right off the bone wow if you're looking for this dish this is not a bad choice either with the juke too no you ain't that clean off the bone guys shout out to mr champion new kanto spot in arkadia everybody knows that this ponderine japanese donut style is in right now but you know there's so many shops putting their own asian twist on it you've got ube flavor you've got via coffee you've got tie iced tea this is the tie iced tea version of a donut via coffee guys listen it tastes like tai chi put in a ponderine donut hey via coffee doesn't say super strong like via coffee but it tastes good of course we got to give ube a shot too these pondering donut spots are so asian american i have expect there to be like a dance crew battle you know in the corner some edm playing they got some clarity remixes check it out this is asian america 2022 our next spot six through six is a new location of kim ki they are doing chill chow noodles here it's a staple there's kim kai kim ki there's but some other kims that they might be all related from the same family but they're serving chill chow noodles which is very unique to the six through six chill chow food is very very much alive in the six through six here we have the two most popular dishes of course you've got to get at any noodle spot which is the satay aoyok mean and then you have the chill chow chow mean with the soup on the side i have egg noodles and hall fun oh snap bro combo dude chill chow food lives on in six through six keep it going chill noodles for eleven dollars there's so much flavor hacking in these noodles now man the satay oh my god trust me guys i don't know if you appreciate the chill chow food out here but there's not this many chill chow restaurants and other asian spots around america and anytime i'm in a kim ki or kim kai uh a kim noodle restaurant man that makes me just want to say gagi nang the next brand new concept in the six through six is basically california texas style barbecue but executed at a very high level guys this spot has five out of five stars on yelp this is called uh craft by smoke and fire we've got the short rib right here we've got brisket potatoes now i mean um growing up there was no texas barbecue or high tier barbecue in the six through six right definitely not at all so i'm very excited to have you know crafts here in the six through six to have some texas style barbecue brisket potato skins oh that's crispy real crispy that puts tgi fridays to shame so i believe the ownership here is you know part caucasian part latino so you have got definitely some of the mexican elements here from the some of the carne asada or al pastor this is the beef short rib i really like the onion it gives a really good taste the barbecue sauce is actually kind of different from like we said guys there's this entire theme of people going to far off places learning how to do something and bringing it back to the six through six or the la area this is no different the food fusion is a good side do some do some b-bike come on why am i always here when you guys are here all right guys we're ending the video here oh my god i swear i

So Nintendo can't seem to let go of the 35th anniversary of Mario, which is totally fine I'm okay with the celebration Extending into this year. Obviously we knew like Mario 35 and other games would be available So my 30 all-stars sadly until March 31st So we knew about obviously 3d world coming on February 12th as well. So yeah, we got a new trailer for Bowser's Fury I did a reaction you can check out up here, but that's besides the point There is actually three other major announcements including a new switch console like a fully Customized switch console. That's a different color like literally all the other custom ones that are still in black With a little bit of art on the back plate. This is different Nintendo is color scheming switches now. This is what now the one caveat obviously is I feel like because Nintendo's still Extending out the 35th anniversary. Well, that means that the Zelda 35th celebration is going to come late Zelda's 35th anniversary is February 21st. So they're clearly not going to be celebrating the Zelda anniversary the release date of Zelda because They're still pushing Mario, but that's okay Before we get into this though, I am giving away a Nintendo switch a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X details down in the description or comment pinned comment to enter All right, let's get into this and We got a lot to talk about three major things first up as you're gonna see here we have The Mario 3535 world count challenge is announced.

So really really cool. Nintendo PR sent that out Shuttle to Nintendo everything links to all this stuff down in the comments below Next up we have they look there's wave two of rewards that are happening available through April 1st So first time we still get another entry into the mind of 10 of Super Mario Bros.

They're doing a second run Good luck. It was so hard to get them the first time around But you know, it's also gonna be hard to get maybe the biggest announcement out of everything today Even bigger than the new trailer for Bowser's Fury if you can believe it or not Look at this Nintendo is launching a new Nintendo switch along side along side Bowser's Fury This switch right here is not only obviously Mario themed in comes with a case Take a look at the dock for starters the dock is red first time Nintendo's ever changed the color of the dock first time Nintendo's ever changed the color of the grips But or whatever this is called again, but look at the color of the system Nintendo has never changed the color of Nintendo switch before making this ultra collectible All right, let's look at some some more pictures here the Harbor features a red and blue colored scheme in honor of Mario's iconic outfit It comes with a red joy con controllers with blue straps blue joy con grip That's what a joy con grip and a red switch dock and a red switch system a stylized Mario red and blue addition carrying case and a Screen protector marks the first time the switch system itself will be available in a new color Price is a switch that was set for 299 other it's not available in the free order at this time Let's just take a look at this so you can see here's kind of another look here Looks really nice Be honest, you know zooming in on this looks looks nice It's kind of interesting. I love the black kickstand. All right, you know They could have it would have been cool if they would have made this like the blue, you know Throw a little blue accent in there that would have been neat, you know, and they threw it up with the blue accent on the buttons I don't know Nintendo. I'm just saying if you're gonna customize it why not go all out But still this is gonna be ultra ultra collectible. Let's take a look at another picture here Here's another one of it like in a dock situation. I mean it looks good There is no doubt that's a Mario system, but see how it doesn't have any of the Mario logos It's subtle. You'd only know that's Mario if you're into Mario. Otherwise, you're like, man, I got a red and blue switch Alright, look at this red switch. He really like red. Oh, this is the switch for you Let me tell you and I believe this is just that. Oh, nope. Here we go This is a look at what it looks like when it's in a holder there Obviously red blue looks like looks sick looks awesome and kudos to you Nintendo You just gave me a reason to want to buy another switch like literally I was debating on getting one of my kids a switch Well, I'm probably gonna buy this switch for me and they can have my old switch Which is in say beat the hell out of my old switch. Hey have that. I'll take the Mario one Now knowing my luck now that they're doing this they're gonna release a Zelda colored one this year and I'm just gonna freak out But this is really cool. I'm kudos to Nintendo. They're continuing to push the 35th anniversary of Mario They're gonna milk this bad boy till the campy milked anymore And then they're gonna give us a Zelda 35th and they're gonna milk that till they can't milk it anymore And then they're gonna give us maybe the Metroid 35 They don't always celebrate the Metroids anniversary to be completely honest Maybe they'll give us at least the the trilogy of Metroid Prime games That'd be great and then obviously Donkey Kong's 40th is coming up and I think it's ripe It's ripe for a Donkey Kong 40 game Just like Mario 35. Anyways, you guys let me know what you think about these three announces especially the console one That's the one I'm most excited about it's also gonna be the hardest one to get your hands on because I highly doubt This is going to be a standard system. They're gonna make available for a long time like we saw with the animal crossing one They brought it back. They never said they wouldn't bring it back, but they brought it back and it became quite easy to get one I don't know that that's gonna be the case with this one because of it's a different color Not just different face plates or specialized joy cons I think you're gonna see that this is gonna be a very limited quantity That might only be around through the 31st like everything else for the 35th anniversary Which is clearly hey once we get to March 31st We're done with Mario 35, which I think that's when we can move on to Zelda's 35th anniversary Even though we're skipping the actual 35th anniversary, but anyways, that's all I got for you guys Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Nathan and RobertJazz from The CenterPy. If you enjoyed this video drop a like Otherwise, I'll catch you guys in the next video


Fight! Fight! Fight! Dance! Dance! We have another wine tasting face-off video today. We have some super classy, super expensive Italy versus Slovenia Bordeaux blends. Learn all about it. Sharon's going to be tasting them blind in this video. Hello! Hello! Hello! Welcome back to exotic wine travel. The show that helps you drink adventurously so you can expand your palate, expand your mind. I'm your host, Matthew Horkey. Hi, I'm Sharon Tan. Welcome back to the show. I am super excited. Now, like, this show is for us. The show, we do a lot for you. This show is really for us because we are drinking some class, and I probably will not even spit. We are drinking some classy, classy wines today. A lot of people like our wine tasting face-off videos. A lot of you like them, so we're doing another one. This time, it's Italy versus its neighbor. Slovenia. Slovenia! Italy, well, world-renowned for some of the most delicious, some of the greatest wines in the world. Neighboring Slovenia, producing some serious juice, too. Watch out, don't have that. But you're right. I'm not you, you know.  You're right, you're right. Italy is full of all these unique indigenous grapes, so what? But we're going to taste Bordeaux blends today. Whether you think, you know, French grapes in Italy should be there or should not be... That's the discussion for another time, regardless. They're really good Bordeaux blends in Italy. Yeah, everyone would. Yeah, Slovenia, too. So that's what we're doing. We're matching up with... Slovenia always doesn't have the same grapes as Italy, although they do share some because they're borders. But we're going to do Bordeaux blends. Serious Bordeaux blends. Super high scores in international press. Some of these wines are iconic worldwide. Some more on a regional level. You ready to get started? Let's go for it. I'm very excited. I don't know what we are tasting at all. And I can't just... I keep smiling when I look into the camera because your hair is kind of like growing right to the very edge of the frame. And it's so funny. We should play... We should play that the Lady Gaga song. I'm on the edge. Okay, so... Tonde. Okay, so... Let's get to tasting some of these wines. Cherine saw maybe a couple that came in, but there's so many wines coming in and out you really haven't... I don't pay attention seriously. Okay, so... What did I do here? I actually used my Corvin Model 6. I Corvin all five wines into separate glasses. Let them to can't for about 45 minutes. Put them in the box behind me so Cherine can't see. You're going to taste. You're going to tell me what you like. And then we're going to do the big reveal. Let's go for it. Okay, let's get started here. First... Oh, by the way, we do have... We do have a discount code for all Corvin systems and accessories. I'll put it in the description box. You can get 10% off. That's what helps make these tastings possible, because these are some super expensive wines. Let's go for it. You ready to rock? Wine number one. Now all these are Bordeaux grapes. Grapes that are permitted in Bordeaux. Not all the same vintages. And this is, you know, not about comparing vintages, not all the same blends, but we're just talking about quality here. Italian wine. You think it's Italian, huh? Why do you think that? Because it's a little bit balsame. It's a little bit... You can see that it's a little bit rustic. I may be wrong. Tobacco. Yeah. This is really good. But is the rusticity bothering you? No, no, no. To me, it's too... I may be wrong, like I said, but I'm sorry that's a lie. To me, this is like classic Italian wine with this. You know, it has a little bit of volatile acidity, but it expresses itself so nicely on the nose with like this balsamic quality. Serious though. Yeah. Serious stuff. It smells pretty thick, concentrated on the nose. Juannate. I love the tannins here. Tannins is all over the mouth that sits kind of in the middle, quite heavily. More firm, just a little bit of astringency. Great tannins management for me. It shows maybe a little bit of Bottle Age, dark cherry fruits, tobacco, cedar, serious stuff. Is that a good start? That's a very good start. So... This must be quite an expensive wine. I mean, often, you know, I always talk about expensive or expensive management and sometimes people ask me what do you mean by that? I think when you taste a lot, you also can kind of get it. It's just really subtle flavors, good tannins, sweetness, not too oxidized. All the wines are expensive. And we have no stickiness, right? Some of the wines you could hate, these are really all highly rated wines. Some you could hate, some you could love, right? What do you think? This one is more less oxidized than the first one. It tastes a little bit, maybe even potentially a little bit cooler. It's got... So the first one kind of expresses itself with like this sweet like tobacco and a little bit of this savory quality that I'm only guessing that it's coming from oak. But this one linseed was more vanilla, fruity, cherry. This shows a lot more finesse to me than this one. This one's a little burlier. So it's a little bit more finesse. Classic Bordeaux, you know, style nose. For me, the tannins are super slick on this. Okay. I think the first one is a more expensive wine as well. You think so? Okay. Let's move on to number three. Okay. It can get better at all, I think. When I was co-revening these, I tried not... I didn't smell them. I didn't smell them in the glass because I wanted to wait for this. I do know what they are. Shareen doesn't. But the aromas were just filling the room and I was like, damn, this is going to be a serious tasting. Let's give this a smell here. Nice. I like this a lot. It's got a little bit of capsicum. This is more Bordeaux, Bordeaux. I would just say it's cooler to me. More capsicum, more leafiness, more greeniness. Papery. This is really papery concept to this, too. This is really bringing some serious thunder here. I really like this one. Allegum. Tannins are... So, the first one has a stronger tannin. The second one doesn't have much tannin at all. It's more smoothed out. This one has a perfect level for me. This is really sitting in the middle palette. More bottle development. More fruit. More earthiness. More earthiness and cool climate, like capsicum, like notes. Right? This is very complex wine. Let's move on to wine number four. Are you liking this so far, by the way? I'm very quite blown away by this one. Really? Okay. Number four here. Let's give this a go. I like this. Oh. Tomato leaf type deal. A little bit elder-hidden though. A little bit. And not bad. Like dried fruit, maybe? It's quite sweet, but it's... Yeah, lean to it, elder-hidden. Tomato leaf. This is almost like if I smoke cigars maybe once a year. If I took the ash tray and I kind of licked the ash. Oh my gosh, it tastes like cigar. You agree, right? Is that a bad thing or a good thing? I think this is a wine that a lot of people would like. I know all my Singaporean friends would like it. This is their classic wine because my friends in Singapore, a lot of them love like amurone, bigger wine. And this is like what Croatians say, Toyota, this is it.  No, I prefer the third one still. This is not my wine, but I can see why a lot of people would like it. This palette is a lot more finessed than the nose. The nose I would think would just be a bomb, right? Wine number five. How fun is this, by the way? Is that... No, it's not fun? No, it's fun. It's just... You're funny. Exhaust feeling. And I spilled it on you. Handy... Shhh. Sorry. Okay. I just don't like messy table. I can't eat from messy table. I can't drink from messy table. For me, aesthetic is really important when it comes to food and wine. Oh, interesting. Interesting in a good way or a bad way? You know, when people say interesting, it's not always good.   Or you're not like a grossest guy. Oh, you're nice. He's a nice guy. Nothing better to say. Awesome, awesome. This is the... This is the oakiest out of all, in the sense that the oak comes on very clearly as like something cherry and toasty. The toasted oak comes through in a good way. It's not over-oaked to me. I think the fruit can handle. I get a lot of black plum, red raspberry, black cherry type of flavors. Interesting. Good? Not good.  I wasn't so interested in the nose. I'm quite... I don't really like wine that expresses this like toasty, dry wood kind of smell. But taste is really good. Mothiness. Nice tendons on the finish. I really can kind of feel the oak tendon. We can't tell, we can never tell. But there is this spiller on the finish with very nice tendons on the finish. A little bit dry. Oh, you have to put them in order. Which ones you prefer? Oh, one to five, really? Yes. Okay. Make her work a little bit. I love number three. It's so complex, so elegant. It's hard to, it's hard for you to decide, huh? All the wines are good, huh? All right. Ready to reveal? What's in... Sitting back and relaxing. What's in fifth? Because the wine is so good, right? What's fifth place for you? Number four. So in fifth place, number four, Yak and Chit's Carolina Select 2013, the most expensive Slovenian wine on the market. $170 US dollars, 2011. Got 93 points. Robert Parker, we've had every vintage of this wine. Come on. I think you're a little bit hard on this wine. I think it was, but it was still good. Because you're at least favorite. It's still good, though. Like I said, personally, it's not a wine for me, but I thought that this is absolutely, among all of these wines, this would have been the proper favorite. You did say that's a crowd favorite. So this wine, actually, in a blind tasting in China, beat up Masetto, beat up Patrus, that type of stuff. Because it's 93% Merlot, 7% Cabernet, 71% not made every vintage. I think it's only the fifth or sixth vintage. Dad, you know what? If I had a taste of wine, I would have been biased because I really like this wine in general. Blind tasting. Yeah, this is cool. Okay. What's the next one? What's in fourth place for you? This is no shame. I have to let you know. This is no shame in this game because these are all pedigreed wines. Okay. So, okay. Let's go to the next one. What's your next one? Number five. Number five is your... I think I'm going to be drunk by the end. So, here we go. What kind of score do you think it is? Don't look. Everything is in a 98. I don't know whether the wine is getting better or I'm getting more and more tipsy. This was just recently named number one in Forbes Italy top 10 reds with Bordeaux, Italy and everything. This is the Marian Simchich, Apoka, Trubno Crew 2015. 100% Merlot. I am not cheating because Patrice, some of the great, great banks are 100% Merlot. 50, around 50 US dollars. This is the one that's the most oaky, right? Yeah, yeah. I could kind of tell. And it was way, in a good... This was really, really good stuff. I think it was 60 US dollars, 100% Merlot. Okay. 60 US dollars? No, that's great. Yeah. That's really great. Don't look. Okay, what's your next wine? Number one. Number one was in third place. The most rustic one out of all. I didn't cheat with this. I wanted to add Movie of Valico Arvici but it has Pinot Noir. So, I couldn't. So, number one is in... Italian. So, number one is Italian. This is the one I had to put in foil because I showed you on the video earlier. So, number one, not score. Coming in at 50 US dollars. 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet 70, and 10% Cabernet Franch. It is not Italian. It is the Edison. Just do it, Lex. 2015. This is one of the iconic wines. These are all three iconic Slovenian wines. This right here. Oh, do it Lex 16. It's not 15. I won't be allowed to go back to Slovenia. No, 16. This is kind of... It's so funny. It's 60 bucks. They make two higher rins. Cosana Merlot and Colos that are about 115 bucks. I actually really like this wine. A lot of the rusticity, everything. I like the Burley rins. Yeah, I thought it was so... From a professional perspective when I take myself out of the picture, I actually think Carolina would be higher than Edison. But my personal preference is Edison. No, man. Ah, this is hot. Okay. So, number... So... Okay. I think this one will be one point lesser than all of this. Okay. Even though I like this better. You have to hurry. I feel like I'm getting it forward. Okay. Next one. Number two. So, number two. What's your second favorite? Number two. Iconic. Iconic wine produced by the late Giacomo Tacchis who created Sasakaya, Tinianella, and Solaya. This is the 2018 Fattoria Le Coupilé, Saffredi, Kevroni Savignon, Petit Verdeau Merlot from Morema, 96 points, Robert Parker, 60 to 90 US dollar. I thought you would like more than this because I think the tans are super low. Oh, 100% have no doubt number three is my favorite. So, okay. Number three. What kind of score you would give? At least 94. I think 94 points, probably. Okay. So, this is a classic from Northern Italy. The Tanuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo 2015. It's about 60 US dollars. This is 60% Kevroni Savignon, 30% Carmanere, 10% Merlot, around 60 bucks. Here's the kicker. 95 points, Venice. 94 to 97 points, Robert Parker. Going to one thing right, there is really such a thing as your personal palette. I know a lot of people. I do also sometimes think that there's no such a thing as personal palette because some people just don't have a very trained palette when it comes to not just wine but food as well. And it's not criticism because it's a privilege to actually have a trained palette. You need to eat a lot, you need to travel a lot and all that. But when it comes to the higher quality wine often, when it comes to like this like 92 to 96 points, 97.1, he has a lot, a lot to do with the individual like personal preference. I would score, I would score. She's tougher than me. I would score all five of these a little bit higher than you did. But whatever. This was a lot of fun. I think we're going to do more videos like this where I give you the wines blind, you tell me everything like that, right? I think I can visit a lot of wineries after this. So guys, I can tell you got a little tipsy as we got going because you were sitting on the pillow up above my level and you gradually went down. So guys. It's fun. It's fun. We can do this more often. I hope you like it. Check it out. Stay tuned to our YouTube channel. So I'll see you with the next episode. Cheers. Hello. Thanks for watching. Hey, you made it to the end.

Hello Hey, hey, hey, hey It's Fat Halpert It sounded more like Jim Halpert It sounded more like I see the trees of green Red roses too There you go I see them blue For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Hey, welcome back to our stupider activity, it's a Corbin I'm Rick And you can follow us on Instagram Don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't And hit the like button OK, we've got a trailer It's one that came out just a few years ago Yeah, a few years ago Yep Called Rocky I've seen that movie. It came out in 1977 Oh, Rocky What's that movie? Um Thank you Well, you got caught with a flat flat. Well, how about that? Well, baby, don't you worry. You know that time often we saw with all the violence of the main two leads, they were killing people last week. I re-reacted to with you because I re-reacted. I watched it with Steph. We watched it last week. The two leads doing violent stuff? Yes. They were murdering people. Left and right. They were being interviewed. It was black and white. Oh, the trailer. Yeah, this is what he said. I thought you said the movie we watched. We did not watch a movie where leads were killing each other left and right. Yeah, it was a Bengali film, remember? Yeah. Saatchajarai. Really known for those bloodbaths. That director, this was his first film. Got it. And so we got requested to watch the trailer because it's similar in its violence, I do believe. Ah, then we're going to like this. I do enjoy a good violence in real life. I do enjoy a good violence, not some. No. I do enjoy a good violence. I do enjoy a good violence. Similar cinematography already. Mm, pretty. Oh, great sound. Oh, that's shot. It's definitely a heavily adapted remake of the rocky Balboa rocky very much That was obviously taking a lot of creative liver. That was Mickey at the end Really upset that he was leaving with Adrienne a lot of creative liberty lot of creative liberty But the fight sequences were pretty close that was rocky and Apollo going at it right there like actually They did that have they had a bromance. Oh, yeah, it's more than bromance if they're going at it Yeah, it was bro with a capital B That was a fantastic fantastic trailer. So this this Director clearly has a style. Yeah In terms of and not just not just the the the violent hacking. No, there's definitely like like visually Yeah, cuz this that the trailer that I forget the name of it and I do apologize that we reacted to mm-hmm I don't know. It could have been the same world. Yeah, right Wouldn't surprise me if it's the same D.P. Oh the cinematography And that's one of the other things. It's not obviously the the fantastic gory bloody violence But the cinematography the lighting of this and it wouldn't shock me if he if he it's a second film now Because he's only done two films. So you guys can one let us know how this film is. Yeah But it wouldn't shock me if he uses the same D.P. We're not listed You have the Foley art artists listed, but you don't have the cinematographer. That's right Yeah, I need to be as terrible as you guys know for yeah, any information Let's see. This one's newer. So cinematographer is Yamini yagnamurthy on the new one, right? Yeah Cinematographer in this one is D.P Shreyas Krishna interesting interesting. Who was it again? Yamini yagnamurthy. Yeah, it looks very similar Interesting.  Yeah in this like there was and in in the In the film we're talking about is Sunny Say it The name. Yeah Sunny Kaidam, I'm sure that's mispronounced. So forgive me, but yeah Even the way it was shot in terms of like the trailer was cut. It's very well-cut trailer To keep you engaged and to like almost to the music to the sound he likes Making you uncomfortable with how much violence he's showing It's still not showing you everything. Yeah, we could go real graphic. I mean we could see heads getting Blistered open just like watermelon. It doesn't go there because even in gangs remember in gangs on your own when when If you haven't seen games in gangs like your ears go see it skip like 15 seconds when Nawaz is literally just yeah We're seeing it from a far shot. Yeah, we're just seeing and the and the blood squirting out And so maybe it's just because censorship board probably wouldn't allow them to be just like could be Could be should have asked we can at some point I'd love to I'd love to know the reason for that shot that way We had breakfast with our dose on your at gunship in case you guys I guess he's he's any Dumb he's actually originally so wouldn't he be our nun bar? Yeah, I guess I think he's originally a dummy. I think so. I know he does handy mostly, but yeah, I'd love to know I Can't imagine he would make any decision based on anything other than his artistic artistic vision So yeah, his art his artistic vision I'm sure everything he has decided is that and also constraints With budget and also that's a cool shot at one in eight seconds in the trailer It looks like this is a shot that I would normally think is a visual Representation of something something that's probably not maybe going on in somebody's mind But probably not something it's a hallucination. Yeah, why is a mirror in the middle of a in the ocean a cool shot? But it's a fanta I mean that's daylight lighting So you have that you got a mirror there. You got water so the reflections of that Yeah, it looks like he's standing on the top of the water And then you got a whole bunch of other different shadow shots and then and it's not that shot there at 146 It looks beautiful. It almost looks like a video game The way they have all the different levels in blue and only sporadically have kind of a yellowish white light With the fighting and it really does help but that was obviously It does help to make one little spot over there and one little spot over there rather than it be the whole field Except for the middle field. Yeah, it's a really nice choice I would I'd obviously haven't seen it But I would love it if this was like a single shot and they pulled back and they follow them up or down Without cutting I think that would be Absolutely fantastic. That's just the amount of work that went into that shot. It's so beautiful. So hats off to the cinematographer team Yeah, this this looks like it's just a visual spectacle. Yeah, and the way they use lighting and shadow and That's what you like to see Obviously you guys can tell us how the film is as a whole it looks good to me. I mean Though I was raving about the other one. Obviously. This is his first So how how was it as a film being his first film? Yeah, obviously it did well because they gave him another film to do But yeah it's and it's also Because I didn't hear as much about this as you do of certain massive films because it doesn't have to my knowledge any Massive stars show con thought apotheos or whatever. And so that's probably a reason but mm-hmm These look really good. Yeah, maybe they're not you guys can tell us Well, not the new one because obviously the new one hasn't come out But this looks like really really good looks really good artistic level on a story level Yep, I don't know you guys can let us know how is this film is this one that's worth a watch And are you excited for his second film? Let us know down below


clarification so is there no one from RSM who will present today just the addendum, the attachment one? RSM will be available as well. Okay and then are we and you tell me if this is executive session material Mr. Soriano or Loretta but the matters that you referenced in particular are those going to be discussed in greater detail to provide some clarity now or is that something that is best reserved for executive session? I know that Mr. Soriano indicated some executive session requests about that. I've you know had some communication with Todd about that. They're certainly prepared to discuss all the details with you in the appropriate forum. Okay I guess just for the record there's just one other incident that I'd want to know more about and again Mr. Soriano you tell me if this is executive session material but the there was a September 29, 2021. I believe in Indiana social media post. Is that something you can talk about publicly or is that executive session material? For sure we can we can certainly discuss that which was part of the settlement agreement with the Indiana gaming commission and in a public session to the extent that you have any additional questions that go beyond what was in the face of the settlement agreement given the competitive sensitivity we would probably want to discuss that executive session. That said commissioner I'm fully prepared to address any questions you may have on that issue. Okay yeah I'm curious to know more of the specifics that went into the posting and how that happened. So it sounds like that might get into some of your worries about competitiveness. It would commissioner and so I would respectfully ask that if we could handle that those questions in an executive session you know again we'd be happy to fully respond but I think that's the more appropriate forum. Thanks. Director Lillios can you remind me when we brought up the publicly the commission brought up publicly the the new arrangement that has been Penn National had with Barstool. I thought we discussed it publicly in February of 2022. I would have to confirm that we've were certainly notified you know some time ago about the strategic partnership and the purchase of the 36 percent you know well before that. Until it became a registrant in 2020 did the IEB have any notices or concerns? The IEB's investigation did identify before it became a registrant before it was registered. Because it looks like the footnote said that that happened in spring of 2020. I'm just trying to get the time. Our review under our open source review did indicate some media articles of concern or media articles of concern. The types of media articles that you've seen you know subsequently although not directly related to responsible gaming or underage gaming. So our review did identify media articles like that but not directly related to gaming and no you know no actions were taken given the type of arrangement for the you know branded merchandise being sold t-shirts and that kind of thing at PPC. And then it wasn't until February of 2022 that the IEB told the commission about the arrangement right that was a non-gaming registrant but that came publicly. It was right I mean that came up publicly. Certainly the bar stool has been listed on our on the on the public facing website as a registrant all of our registrants are listed but we did report publicly after math of a news story that the commission became aware of. Got it. Thank you. Okay. Other questions for IEB's report at this point in time it sounds like we'll have some follow-ups on the some of the issues that Commissioner O'Brien raised. I think probably before we assume that that it will be all executive session we'll need to go through our analysis with Attorney Grossman but it makes sense for us to hear from GLI though in the ordinary course of this and RSM and then decide on terms of timing whether we go into executive session or not. That makes sense. That probably makes sense. It might be helpful right okay. So I understand that GLI just has joined us I can't let me see. Joe's here Kathy. I was able to join I just got the invitation. I know I understand there was a little bit of a hiccup there Joe. Thank you. So are you going to be representing GLI today solely? I think Gabe Benedict might be on the call he is but yeah we both are here. Okay excellent Joe again just to be clear on the record GLI has been working with the gaming commission and it's well known as the first right instead gaming technical standards which we now consider to be the industry benchmark worldwide. GLI has continuously responded to the industry by innovating new standards and testing allowing regulators like the gaming commission to feel confident that they are providing a safe responsible method of revenue generation for their stakeholders and protection of the integrity of gaming. So we have Joe Benedict and he will allow you to introduce yourself Joe and then give us the highlights on hi Gabe happy new year to both of you. Thank you. Thanks for having us Madam Chair and members of the commission. My name is Joseph Bonner Director of client solutions to GLI and give a quick overview of the smittal certification verification process regarding mobile applications on the digital preference approved by the commission before GLI can take smittals oh sorry you guys actually already proved 247 248 see I wasn't prepared for this moment. So we actually have already taken some smittals because the commission approved 247 and 248 which are drafted with us along the outside law firm post approval the operators will be ready to deploy their code bases in the Commonwealth. That preparation included platform review. Any product new to lab was reviewed by our engineers for architecture documentation which is complete comprehensive and technically accurate description explanation of sport wagering systems. This includes a description all hardware devices and virtual service a description all server and client software modules including the software versions a layout of the network communications and various software between hydra mall modules and explanation of all third-party integrated systems post technical documentation review the critical files regarding compliance will be identified in documented then a complete project plan would be put in place taking account the neat architecture and design of the platform and the specific rules for the Massachusetts gaming commission. The lab will run a supervised confirmation of those source files signatures files and the steps and and all the compiled code once complete the source code be submitted is submitted in testing in a locked-down environment. We'll review the player account management system registration age and uh geo sorry age and identification account controls payments reporting sponsored gaming controls required to disclosures and geolocation geolocation commencing two parts a field test to verify the borders by sampling around the entire board border of the Commonwealth completing edge case and technical test field tests will also cover any restricted areas defined by the mgc a the second part will be submissive workaround detection test that will happen in the lab including but not limited to vpm and proxy usage gps spoofing spoofing code manipulation and man and middle attacks geoli will then will verify the sportsbook in total if not tested previously for the retail deployment or review the integration of the sportsbook into the pam for events markets point spreads bet acceptance in the corresponding time stamps and logging of those uh elements we'll verify the enforcement of betting limits in all edge cases we'll verify pre event in live data feeds post event bet settling the correspondence time stamps and all logging and reporting we'll review all change management process and procedures after the technical check-offs are met certification be issued when geoli verifies changes made for massachusetts specific deployments including source code differential and change testing to latest reviewed version and geol is evaluated that the product has met all massachusetts specific requirements after certifications are issued and the mgc accepts them the steps them field verification will be conducted in conjunction with the mgc this procedure will be finalized uh quite shortly uh and during that time the following will commence verification at the production server uh and all critical file signatures uh we made at that time and reviews of all internal controls for procedures to operate the book check technology for configurations such as proper setup of roles and user rate management potentially interview key employees and personnel to ensure they know and will follow procedures from their internal controls and at that point uh they have met the technical requirements for operations of the sportsbook in the commonwealth that's it questions for john with this point okay joe thank you for pivoting so quickly again whatever logistics happened i knew your happy happy happy new year happy new year okay now we'll turn to rsm rsm uslp is one leading providers of um audit tax and consulting services in the united states our son has been working with the game commission to provide insights and analysis to help us out and today who do we have we have mr catz happy new year jack happy new year commissioner how are you doing doing well thanks yourself well thank you all right so we'll get started we have of course the benefit of gizibut want to be um um i'd be the report of suitability but uh you're gonna also now give us a little bit of high guidance on the um application pieces that address primarily um the estimated market share um projections on um protected revenue and then uh with respect to the financial stability and integrity and if you think that there's anything that could be um more appropriate for the executive session please um ps i raise your hand and stop us but i think jeff has a sense of of what is navigable at this point in time so thank you right thank you commissioner um rsm appreciates the opportunity to present to the commission uh we understand the importance of the licensing process and the importance of these meetings uh we've accumulated a diverse team of professionals present on the topics requested by the commission um please note that this presentation is based on documentation received as of november 21st 2022 uh the discussion prepared by our team is based on our preliminary research to date and is subject to change if new information becomes available questions posed to our team may require further research if we're unable to respond to a question before the end of this meeting we will circulate a response to the commission as soon as practical as instructed by the mgc rsm conducted a preliminary review of each uh applicants market share submission materials in tandem with other investigators involved in this process uh regarding a temporary license process much of the information shared is likely confidential including market share and projections we're happy to discuss those items in detail in an executive session we're happy to speak generally about the process about which the applicant shared such information in this public forum in our preliminary market study the jurisdiction jurisdictional rules and what other nearby markets are doing may impact any of these applicants markets uh size and sportsbook composition in a given state uh for instance when massachusetts goes live it goes live it is probable that neighboring states will see a decrease in sports wagering activity as patrons stay home and place their bets rather than crossing state lines to do so given the evolving nature of the online sports wagering and the varying number of platforms in different jurisdictions it is difficult to predict the ultimate composition of the marketplace even after conducting extensive market research but we can say it is being viewed as a lucrative long-term growth market by operators and industry analysts uh some analysts are predicting you know plus 10 kager compound annual growth rate uh speaking broadly the online sports wagering experience of the massachusetts applicant pool has varied levels of industry experience they're represented by both by both domestically and international players and some have decades of experience and others are still in the process of building their platform the commission has received i.e. b's report addressing the suitability review led by the investigations and enforcement bureau that was just spoken to the reporters review of the applicant self-disclosed financial submission looking at a select few sections of the application those being section c2 and g3 broadly comprising historical financial performance of sports wagering and other jurisdictions liquidity and ability to fund upstart costs and losses financial projections in massachusetts and the financial impact of compliance risks bankruptcies and other legal items we understand that the purview of the i.e. b's report was intentionally limited in scope to provide the commission with facts from which to draw their own conclusion arson and intends to speak broadly about the applicant in front of you today the applicant has provided five years of financial information for intermediary pen interactive ventures and the ultimate publicly traded pen entertainment pen entertainment has previously been issued a determination of suitability the applicant is tethered to pen entertainment owned by plainville park casino we reviewed the applicant's revenue projection information and compared to market analysts do it your bank equity research report and truest securities equity research report gaming industry both issued in october of 2022 for the revenue projection section executive session may be warranted as arson's plan discussion contains specifics of pens estimated market share we are prepared to prepare to provide a high level overview and look to the commission for direction on the need for an executive session discuss details further the applicant provided a five-year five-year financial projection of sports wagering activity in massachusetts covering estimated handle gross gaming revenue hold percentage as well as net gaming revenue market share estimates for the massachusetts online sports betting market were shared by the applicant and we have independently calculated market share estimates based upon our market research the projected market shares in line with current market share percentage achieved by the applicant other jurisdictions the assumption for hold percentage at a high level is in line with other applicants that have assumed for massachusetts and what we have seen in our independent market research as the commission is aware revenue is closely tied to hold percentage pens assumption is in line with with the hold percentage one would expect in a competitive state operation the planned relationship with plainville park casino was not reviewed as part of our investigation but can be expected to provide a positive impact to the business from cross branding and marketing activities turning towards liquidity pen entertainment is well capitalized as of its most recent quarterly sec filing as of september 30th there was approximately 2.7 billion in available liquidity comprising 1.7 billion in cash on hand and 977 million in an available revolver there are no major debt maturities in the next 12 months pen generated 877 million in cash flow from operations during a trailing 12 months through september 30th 2022 long-term debt balances have remained steady over this period it is ultimately up to the applicant's parent how to allocate its financial resources if faced with future losses there is no guarantee it will continue sports wagering up wagering operations in massachusetts but it has the current resources to do so if it if it desires rsm will remain on the line to answer any questions the commission may have about this presentation or our written submission if there are further specific questions in the contents of our report we are happy to discuss those in executive session thank you thank you job commissioners as you and as we maybe anticipated it does sound as though and i think that when i was reviewing the application i wasn't surprised with respect to protected revenues that that might be an area of need to review an executive session i assume you might be interested in that okay so um thank you to rsm ieb and gli for those presentation at this juncture typically we go into um beginning of the review of the application it's 430 and one of makes sense for us to try to address the um in executive session the matters i know that we have at least one commissioner who does have a hard stop at 530 others may want i don't know if others have an earlier stop does it make sense for us to think about going into executive session now and letting the public know that we have to have a vote then the public know that we would not convene back in public but that would pick up our our public meeting in the morning um we would adjourn public meeting then um we would come back and just adjourn public meeting for tonight it would not be rolled over commissioners what do you think what process do you like may i make a suggestion yes i love the process that we have been using over the past two weeks a couple of weeks where we go through the sections and we make a list of what we need to talk about and we go into one executive session instead of numerous ones so i would i as one would like to see us continue with that process uh to get us to a to an executive session because i just think it's been a good process and and it's it's helped us through um our process so with that said i would not want to go into an executive session at this point but instead and here's my suggestion continue our meeting tomorrow oh cannot not continue on the evaluation process okay well since we would uh i'm the i'm the person that has to stop at five thirty and once we get going through the sections we really get moving and grooving and i would hate to have to stop that in the middle although i could leave and the rest of the commission uh could work obviously uh without me but at least identify should we at least list out the ones we've already identified for executive session so before we break should we at least because we do have some already the rsm and that do we summarize what those are to get a consensus on those before we break to the day do you mean like to get the list um as a part of the executive i think that's it that i yeah and then if there's something again someone wants to add in the morning but at least that way ministerially we kind of take care of that before we break today i like that yeah that'd be great commissioner maynard commissioner scanner do you have ideas does that work for you that process once for me i support the proposal commissioner maynard works for me okay so um starting back to commissioner o'Brien and you had identified a few of the um matters that are listed in the ied report yes and we'll just go to the specific um attorney grossman okay thanks yeah so um specifically uh the september 29th 21 settlement agreement out of indiana um i also want to hear more detail about the illinois lawsuit that was recently filed commissioner brian can we pause for one moment on the indiana one sure um i just want to be very precise if we can be uh i was able to locate the settlement agreement from the indiana matter online it's on the indiana website so we should just be clear what specifically uh we're interested in talking about because the general facts and circumstances are public information so i think what we can do is if they want to describe that publicly um and then there were some questions that i had about how it was um that this individual was able to post things like that um and i thought mr soriano said that i might be getting into um sort of competitive areas if we get if they went into detail about some of their social media i don't know if he wants to chime in if that's not the case that's fine mr soriano yeah commissioner if i may um why don't i summarize the matter um and see if that answers your questions and then um if we're if we're going to get into additional about how things are posted specifically then that that specific nuance may be an appropriate item for executive session but if helpful i'll start with a summary actually can i just hear from i see loretta's unmuted i just wanted to hear what she had to say before you jump in of course you know i think that's a great plan to i think there are aspects that can be talked about publicly in one piece that can be spoken about publicly that i did want to note is that penn notified the i e b of this matter back in real time after it was the discipline was issued initially um when we were looking at the when i was looking at the instant application for the sports wagering application i actually hadn't recalled the um the notification that they made to the i e b uh earlier uh mr soriano was able to remind me of that including the remedial uh action that the company took uh afterwards i did go back and uh review the initial uh disclosure uh confirmed that the i e b received it reviewed it we did not take any action at that time uh due to uh you know we didn't have a sports book at the time so the types of risks involved and also due to the type of remedial action that was put in place so i did want to just mention that publicly mr soriano do you want to get that um summary please i would chair thank you so so commissioners this matter um related to a in a posting by a newer barstool sports employee um of gaming content on a barstool account um unaffiliated with penn in other words this was not a penn controlled account through a barstool sports book account um it violated the posting violated our compliance guardrails um it certainly was not not considered something that was appropriate um within hours of the post having been made we noticed we noticed it and asked barstool to take it down promptly and they did take it down promptly the next which this this was posting took place overnight and so we saw it early in the morning and within again minutes um had it rectified and then that morning contacted all of our regulators throughout the country to advise of that the post had been made that it was not consistent with our guardrails and that we had removed it so in addition reporting it in diana we reported it to the i e b we reported it to average jurisdiction that we do business in within a few hours of it again the incident having taken place um the employee was disciplined the barstool employee was disciplined um in the form of a suspension i'm in and a additional training took place my colleague mr west who you heard from earlier conducted a refresher training for barstool employees um and a review was conducted of posting privileges and who has the ability to do posts um and some significant tightening up to place there again commissioner um some specifics on that may need to go maybe an executive session item but there was a review conducted of who can post what when where and how um and so when that matter ultimately was reviewed by indiana we entered into a consent agreement with the indiana gaming commission on september 28th i'm 2021 where a pensports interactive was fined the amount of 7500 dollars and barstool sports ink which is a registrant in indiana uh was fined $10,000 for for the same comment for the same conduct uh so that was a matter which again we we took ownership of we we answered for um it should not have happened and i believe we took the appropriate prompt steps to a notify our regulators within hours and b take appropriate remedial action again happy to answer any questions relating to that incident and again happy to do so now or an executive session thank you um so i would have some follow-up questions in terms of what came about what were the changes and the controls that you put in place as a result of that my understanding is the um some of the language that went up um um you know it was you know i i mean as as you i think you readily agreed to over the line um and then you rectified it um and then i know you said it wasn't a psi um or a barstool sport book account but was it a it was the marketing company account is that the twitter handle yes that's correct we're sure it was it was through a barstool affiliated account okay and certainly those those guardrails um that you asked about i would i would take the position are competitively sensitive right but we'd be happy to explain those in executive sessions so i think if that's the more nuanced question um that would be appropriate for executive session okay i have a question for director alleles where can i access the content that was posting because i have not seen it and provide that to you thank you so i do think actually before we go into executive session is that something that's my question is more is that in and of itself because it was put up there publicly in the domain at one point and taken down part of the public disclosure or is that something that goes into executive session also for discussion just because i'm looking at the actual agreement and it doesn't go into specifics necessarily about the posting i don't know i i'd have to turn to to you todd the todd yeah yeah i first saw just to clarify it appears it was on a tick tock at twitter for what that's what and uh secondly i'm not sure mr sureana whether the actual tick tock post is confidential it's is that something the commission can have a look at councillor grossman to the best of my knowledge i i personally do not have access i've looked and i i no longer have access i believe it's taken down that said we have the text of of what was said um and and could certainly you know could certainly share that okay and commissioner brian and i believe you've indicated that you're interested in uh learning more about some of the essentially internal controls that were adjusted to ensure um that there is no further episodes of this sort and that would seem to fall right so to one would be any consequences and to me that would be maybe personnel consequences that's not on the public domain as a result of that and then to um what controls were put in place as a result those would be the two areas of follow-up i have i think both of those would probably fall on exactly yep i would agree with that um okay so yeah so those if those are if that's the scope of the inquiry into the indiana matter that is entirely appropriate for executive session review um the second matter uh commissioner brian you mentioned pertains to the illinois situation um and i am generally aware of that uh my my question is relates to how much of that is public information my understanding is it was before a public body in the state of illinois and i'm just not familiar with the uh confidentiality or privacy laws in that state i don't know how much of this information is in the public domain and how much is not and specifically perhaps mr sariano can address um or just identify what what parts of this you can talk about and what parts are sent right yes that councilor grossman if i may defer to our chief legal officer harper co i believe is on the call um who can who could address that a little bit better so to the extent that this is has been in the public domain you know there's no reason why we can't address what the actual message was okay so just to be clear we're done with the illinois matter oh not the illinois matter that is executive session i'm sorry i thought you were still having another tiktok message okay no we were i think we resolved the tiktok matter um and we've identified the issues that we can discuss in executive session we were on to the illinois matter and um i just noted that it appears as though the matter is before a government body in the state of illinois and i i viewed a number of documents um from that body i just don't know whether those documents themselves are in the public domain or they are held in there they're withheld in their entirety under the illinois freedom of information laws correct at this point yes okay but so but we're happy to address any of that um in executive session when the commission is ready okay and so commissioner brian i is it fair to say you're just interested in the entire background of the situation and how it was resolved okay right okay we also did a more legible copy of that that documentation please we do not have a better copy you have the copy we have but we have made inquiries so to the extent we get them before tomorrow we will definitely get them to you commissioner brian you said something i didn't catch i know what i first did and i thought it was my printer um and then i realized it was just the copy that we had can i just give you a separate different document can you remind me what you were asking for before really i'd like to get a hold of the settlement agreement in the um indiana matter as well as whatever the content of that video they only have a um the text which is what you're looking for because i mean i don't need the actual video i just need to know the text right the text of what was in the video content which is which is what i was right is what i've been saying and i can provide that information and to all the commissioners all of us yep and i'm sorry commissioner brian you were i just i butted in after illinois were there other issues you wanted to i think the only other one and i think we all were asking for a more detailed conversation about projected revenue out of rsm that has to happen in executive session i don't know if there was anything else out of rsm people were looking for for the ied report just those two matters commissioner brian just uh well to the extent the rsm is really you're right more in the another section of the application so for the suitability report it was those two matters for me just those two okay and then rsm um certainly they included their written report and except one but just now jeff could not really address projected revenues because of the um nifer executive session so we'll go through that there anything else all right at this stage we'll take commissioner hill's good suggestion and we won't we won't seek to go into executive session now it is 10 of five um i'm forgetting what time we started this one i guess it was 10 tomorrow we started some of us started nine um and then we will move into the 10 o'clock public um meeting uh that will be continuing this discussion it will be a new meeting but it will be continuing this discussion and um i think then the only this piece of business we have is to adjourn this public meeting right i actually have two matters if you will talk if you will allow me because maybe karen will take advantage of just these few last minutes um i'm afraid i'll get busier during the course of the week but i wanted to just a reminder um under our agenda uh this is this we didn't anticipate this um these two matters and karen's going to help me out but this is just a reminder that our next agenda setting meeting will be held at nine a.m this thursday january fifth and we typically hold those meetings on wednesdays to address uh both short and long term scheduling needs of the agency given our current calendar we will convene this thursday morning at nine um tomorrow morning we have a short jicatori hearing um one of us is recused from that at nine and then um commissioners with respect to the agenda setting meeting as you know we don't typically stream that close um meetings but they're always recorded and they're accessible to the public by phone only and i thought about this and i think to mirror our practice with regard to all our other public meetings in a matter best practice i'd like to stream our um agenda setting meetings as well and i'm wondering is anybody have any introduction to that apparently it is not a a big lift technically or a big expense technically for our team to do that i don't know maybe we can have that conversation and not stream this week so we can have a wholesome conversation i feel like sometimes we don't have the ability to talk other than being streamed so i have a strong feeling of course public those meetings are public um but they're public by phone and so the reason why um i asked is because when you when they do a by phone they're tying up the phone that's you know that's why we we don't do that all the time so we can certainly discuss it on thursday morning i would prefer if unless it's truly an objection just going ahead and streaming on on thursday on the agenda setting meetings just as a matter of phone transparency and a matter of ease those who want to listen rachel brian you want to still defer the discussion till thursday morning i i just raised that because i know that we've had some scheduling things that we've needed to talk about i just don't know that that's going to be particularly helpful for our ability to air those things but i just raised that to see if anybody else felt the same way or not i'm not raising a strong objection just something i didn't want to point out mr maynard i don't think it could i don't think it hurts to discuss it uh in full on thursday mr maynard i would support streaming the meetings um i sometimes my own memory fails about um some of the things that i say in those meetings so um with these it's great i can always go back to them and watch that snippet that i need to watch so i would just support streaming mr hill i don't have an issue streaming that meeting so it's um you know i am i am making that suggestion and um it sounds as though we might have not a full consensus i'd like to refer um i'd like to just go ahead and stream so it's a matter of good practice uh a little bit we'll defer it um for thursday morning's discussion um but i really um think that it's a commitment that we should we should restore the the the process of streaming so that we don't tie up folks phone unnecessarily madam chair i have a question about tomorrow's meeting at nine you said that it was in a judicatory hearing is that did i hear that right well maybe it's not it's not a judicatory hearing it's part of an appeal correct um councillor grossman yeah it's part of an adjudicatory deliberation essentially but it's not a public hearing thanks for clarifying and that starts at nine okay so on thursday we will not stream um but i am making us strong suggestion that we come to a consensus on that uh dedication to local transparency all right so now we need a um a caring is going to go over up the rsm rsm has asked for feedback as to how they can be best helpful to us um with their advice and guidance when we get to friday the beginning of our evaluation of the six untethered category three applicants they asked for feedback karen do you want to just give a little bit more detail yes i'll be happy to so uh as you know rsm has been presenting uh to you as you are looking at each of the applicants um you've done that with the uh the casinos and then the uh tethered mobile applicants uh they we were just having a discussion on what might be helpful for the commissioners given that um the process that uh you approved last thursday is to uh look at them individually but then make a determination at the end and look at them collectively um it may be helpful uh for the commissioners if rsm were to do almost like a powerpoint or something uh while you're they're going through the individual uh issues who have something to refer back to similar information that you've been receiving so far but just in a little uh powerpoint that you could look back on and then the other uh potential option in addition to that is when the commission is looking at the six applicants collectively on the 18th and the 19th would you like some kind of uh compilation or side by side comparison of the issues that they looked at if that would be helpful to you so just looking for some feedback if either or both of those would be helpful to you or something else uh we can speak with uh rsm they're actually on today so they might be able to uh to um hear just today what your comments are but we can coordinate with them and what's good for the commission does that make sense i like both of those ideas i think it's both would be helpful for me okay i agree anybody else want any feedback give it uh rsm any feedback miss your skin are you leaning in no okay commissioner hill are you all set all set commissioner maynard all right that sounds like a good good suggestion and thank you to rsm for the inquiry to the applicant i probably should have excused you my apologies i see you're all there patiently waiting and your time is valuable thank you for today's presentation we look forward to tomorrow's continuing discussion and um at this point in time i just need a motion to adjourn commissioners move to adjourn thank you second thank you any discussion all right commissioner brian i think she said yes or i commissioner hill thank you commissioner hill hi commissioner skinner hi commissioner maynard hi i vote yes five zero everyone thank you thank you very much look forward to tomorrow morning thank you
