Patients can have confidence in the PMC Lawson Cancer Center, from our diagnostic capabilities to advanced genetic testing, clinical trials, and dedicated oncology pharmacy services. Our purpose is saving lives. With extreme weather and flash freezing predicted, it is very important to use precaution when operating your vehicle. We spoke to Public Information Officer Tony Tackett on how to keep you and your family safe during these hazardous conditions.  Unfortunately, some people have to go to work, and if you have to go to work, just leave, allow your vehicle to warm up. I see people drive all the time with one little spot defrosted that's not going to work, especially in this type of weather. It's not going to work any time, but this type of weather is not going to be right. Let it warm up, get it done, leave about 10-15 minutes early. The speed limit may say 55, but on roads like this, if you're doing 25 or 30 or more, you're going too fast. You can't stop. I see conditions, wide-out conditions where it's going to be blowing, the snow's going to be blowing, the wind gust up to 30, 40 miles per hour or whatever is going to cause issues. In addition to vehicle safety, it is important to have an emergency kit in your vehicle if you become trapped. The emergency kit should include a coat, a blanket, water, flashlight, and a fully charged phone. A lot of our towing services in this area, it may be so bad that they can't get out. So you may be stuck awhile, but you can call 911, we'll try to get to you, try to get you to one. Make sure that, like I said before, make sure your vehicle's in working order. A lot of people get out here with bad tires, barely any gas. If there's any water in the gas at all, and you've got a low tank of gas, it's going to be, your fuel pump's going to have some issues, I'm going to tell you about some of the issues. So just use common sense. If you don't have to be in a road, don't go out. If you have to, leave a little earlier, it's car warm up good, and just take your time. Common sense, take your time, slow down, and hopefully we'll get where we're going. If your vehicle does get stuck, it is important to remain in your vehicle as wide out conditions are likely and visibility will be low. For Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


That's a good final image right there 14 year vet and he's a champ and he's up early Channing Fry joins the show right now. First of all, good morning. We just learned the video of me dunking.  How good is that? It must have been early in the career that we'll send it to you to make sure you have it. You know what Channing yesterday we barely got to get into it and it was a kind of a heated topic. It's a heated topic in the country. I know it's Wednesday, but now that we've got like grownups talking about banning court storming. I feel like this could go on forever. So one we've had we can arrest them. I submitted electric fencing. No one likes that. What? Just for fun. Have you been on a court that was stormed? Yes. Don't lose. Don't lose. Who cares? What are you talking about? Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Right. Right. Like, yeah. And I said this, we talked about this yesterday. Like, there's only one guy ever in the history of maybe college sports that I'd really be worried about his health. That's J.J. Reddit. Right. I'd be worried if somebody stormed the court, somebody would punch him in his face. He was hated that much. Everyone else? Like just put your hands up and walk off the court. Like why are you trying to run where drunk kids are running? It happens. It's part of college sports. Like it's not that serious. And it seems like only the coaches that lose make a big deal about it. So stop losing. Stop losing the unranked teams. Coach better. And maybe no one's going to storm the court.   Isn't it open up the floodgates though for issues? No. I've got the courts stormed on me three times and honestly, I just put my hands up, right? We lost to, I think Oregon State. We lost to, in my four years, Oregon State, Washington State, and maybe like Stanford at the buzzer. And you see me just walk off my hands up and security runs to me. Nobody bothers me.  It's physics. It's physics. They don't know their equilibrium is off.  Security is going to come get you first.  Somebody's going to come find you. It's not that big a deal. Those poor walk-ons are just going to get pummeled. Look, no fans. You'd air for the grades anyway. So come on. You get all the gear and you're there for the grades. Come on. Let's keep it a buck. Poor champ. He's the only one. The only one fighting it. I just hate that it's due because I just disagree with everything about dude. Nobody likes to do. Nobody likes to do. If it was anybody else, I'd probably make an exception. But it's due.  They're fine. Janning. Clay Thompson, he's continuing to come off the bench. And you've been on this early. You've been saying they should do this since November. What made you feel that way so early on? I think you saw him early pressing. And even the year that they won Wiggins and Clay, they are such good teammates and such good like team guys. That's always like, well, if I don't play good, he'll do it. Or if I don't play good, Clay will do it. To me, you've got to put the pressure on one of them to come out and play good basketball. And then also for me, Clay right now, coming off of all his injuries, I'd like to showcase him. Ring some of that firepower off the bench. Clay is a top 75 player of all time. I don't care what about that list or whether you made it or not. But Clay is that good. And I think if you bring him off the bench or a guy like Chris Paul, you can keep that rhythm going that you need. So you're going to introduce the young guys like Kaminga and the rest of them to allow them to put them in good situations to win games. To me, playing Clay, Steph, Dremond, Kaminga, everybody in the first lineup, you're not getting any firepower off the bench. When they win, they have a great bench. Think about Sean Livingston. Think about Andre Guadala. Think about those kind of guys coming off the bench. Now you have Clay Thompson coming off the bench. It's no wonder that they're doing great. He's going to play us 34 minutes anyways. So with all that being said, the struggles, the up and downs, is this the last year Clay Thompson's on the Warriors? Does he go and start somewhere else or does he go back there? Man, listen, we're talking about Breonna Stewart. Take that change now. Look, I know a lot of teams that go pay him crazy. I think it's up to him. Let me go with my gut here. I do think it is. I do think this is his last year. I think there's a team that is going to pay him crazy, just to not be on the Warriors anymore. Obviously, the Warriors got to make decisions. I think they're going to go younger now. I think this is kind of their last full run. If Clay doesn't have a crazy playoff run, I can see somebody else saying, hey, we'll start you. You've got 35, 40 minutes a night on a good playoff team. I can see somebody throwing some money at him.  It's just the truth, because whether they think they're going to win, they're going to say, well, do you have $20 million for Clay Thompson or $30 million or Joe Shmoa? He going to put people in his stands. You had Clay Thompson to Dallas. You had Clay Thompson to the Lakers. You had Clay Thompson to Sacramento. You had Clay Thompson to anybody. You're like, all right, well, we've got a chance. We're going to be a playoff team.  It's a weird picture of an Orlando match. It is. Yeah. It's like D-Way going to Chicago. You're like, ah, I get it, but that ain't it. That ain't it. It's going to be weird, and it's going to take a while for us. I guess Damon of Bucks Jersey was a little bit weird as well. And that's a great segue, because they've won three straight now. And we all know, for the beginning of this Doc Rivers experiment, it felt like, uh-oh. But for what we all do for a living, it was fantastic. What is your opinion, not just on what they've been able to do, and it looks like they're figuring things out, but kind of Doc's entrance as the Bucks coach and all the talking that he was doing? Man, where do I? OK, where do I?  You know, obviously, I think Doc has had success in this league on different teams. I think this is an interesting situation for him to come in. I think no matter who you, you could have Phil Jackson on this team. I don't know if I put the Bucks above, and it's a hot take. I don't know if I put them above a healthy Philly or Boston, regardless. I just don't think they're built that way. I think I'm a little disappointed that they really, they're always going to be good, because you have Yanis, you have Dame, you have Brooke, you have good pieces. But they haven't evolved for me, right? They haven't, like, adjusted to the times. I feel like they are very, very good during a regular season. I'm curious to see what happens if they get an unfavorable matchup, how they make adjustments, which is, I think, their biggest problem. I don't think they're an adjustment team. I think they're just, do we do harder? And that's what I worry about. But you have Yanis, and if he can be healthy, he's a monster in the playoffs, controlling the pace of the game. But I think Doc Rivers is just there to make Dame and Yanis work as best as they can. So I don't think it's about X's and O's. I think it's about superstar management. So he did a pretty crappy job at the beginning. He won three in a row. I think a pretty big win against Minnesota. That was kind of impressive for me. But it'll be interesting to see what happens during the playoffs. Because teams are going to say, during a regular season, you ain't hacking Yanis like that. During the playoffs, teams are now stacked. And think about the Knicks. They've got four or five dudes that are six-nine physical that can just guard him, right? And Dame, he's playing amazing. I think he has the most fourth-quarter points in the league right now. So for me, it's like, I don't really see them both play great at the same time together. It's kind of weird. It's almost like Luca and Kyrie. They can play well together. Just not like, it's not like Penny and Shaq. It's not like Kobe and Shaq. You know, it doesn't, it makes sense, but it just doesn't look, it looks weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here's my thing. As much as we talk about the inconsistencies of the Bucks, right, they're still sitting in third and they're looking at, if it was today, we're looking at a unhealthy Philly. We're looking at Orlando Magic team. I still like them getting out of the first round and then playing somebody else in a second. I still feel really, really good about the Milwaukee Bucks with the circumstances. Totally. I mean, if they play those two teams in the first round, I think that's a quick 50-piece nugget. That's four and done. I just don't think, I don't think Orlando shoots well enough and their first year guys, I love Orlando. I think they need a true point guard and some shooting. And I think they're gonna be top five in the East. But to me, that's the issue. It's like, what are our expectations for Milwaukee? You have Giannis in game. So you're happy that you beat up on a hurt Philly or a young Orlando? No, we need to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals. That's the expectation. When you have players like this, when you have two players that are probably top 15 in the league right now, and that's a lot of pressure, but it's also what you get. I mean, you have an older team. You've stopped developing your young guys. You've started, you've really bought into this is our time, which you should. And so for me, okay, you got out the first round. Congrats, here's your cookie. Now who you gotta play? What happens in the Eastern Conference Finals? Are you going there? Those are my expectations for them. So I feel like I know your answer then. What's more likely for this particular Bucks team, a first round exit or going to the finals and winning? Man, no, I don't think they win. I'll be honest, they not beating Boston. Right, fair enough. I just don't think so. Boston is too complete and to their bench, their system, their defensive versatility, their range of shooting, superstar power. Okay, let's say Yannis and Tatum, okay? And then you have Jaylen Brown and Dame. So those four just go out the window. Boston has everything else. Yeah. Or Zengis, Drew Holiday, boom, boom, boom. You're killing. You're too soon to start to need to win you two games, you're coaching your bench. That's four games in the playoffs. This one's easy. They happen to get them to eat or something in the first round, they could very well lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Miami. How well they'll play in New York next. Yeah, they got Miami, New York, they don't want that. They don't want them problems. They want Orlando, a beat up Philly. They want something to kind of warm up and understand.  Like what are y'all doing at practice that no one else is? Oh, they're probably practicing. They're probably practicing, that's it. Man. Man, it's crazy. Y'all got a lot of hot kicks in there, they're gonna lie. What are you talking about Lou? These are good takes. Cause that's your team. You like that, cause that's your team. You know what, more so than adopting. You don't think Miami can beat Milwaukee in a four game and in a series, first round of the playoffs. You never count Milwaukee out how they're built. You know, they're a system team so they can plug in and plug guys in and out. But they've been just as inconsistent as Milwaukee has this year. And Milwaukee's been able to survive and stay in the third place. So that's the only thing that's different for me. But I want to stay on the bugs really quick because we always make a big fuss about Doc. But Yannis recently said he doesn't watch a lot of film, doesn't watch a lot of basketball. And I thought he said it in Jess kind of trying to get people going. He said he likes to be surprised going in games to see what guys do. What was your take on it? Well, you know what my take was on that. One, if he thought that was a joke, that's not funny. I just don't think that's funny. As a leader, you have to be the most prepared. I played on teams with guys like Brandon Roy, Steve Nash, LeBron, even guys way back, Stefan Marbury. All they did was watch film. And it wasn't a joke. It was like they get in a car, they'd have a driver just so they can continue to watch film. So for me, it was like he probably does watch film, but that's not really funny. I didn't think that was funny. I think your team has been pretty inconsistent this year. I think for you as a leader, obviously you want to portray that I'm doing everything possible to help my team win these games. So yes, they're on a three game win streak, but I think it just depends on what happens this year. If they don't win the big thing, then people are going to come back to that unfunny joke of, oh, I don't watch film. So it wasn't my favorite quote. It was bad timing too. Like you guys are losing, you just got fired a coat. Like it just, it was rough. And you're right, it wasn't funny. He's had four coaches in nine months. So it's like, and you don't, oh, and I don't watch film. It's probably like, yeah, you probably should have kept that one to yourself. You put that one back in the pocket, you know? Read the room. Can we talk a little Lakers for a second? Cause I know you've talked about the title window being officially closed. I believe it was zero chance at winning the championship. Do you still, are you still there? Has it moved at all? With the Lakers? Yeah. No, that's a zero. That's a zero. That's a zero. That is a zero. Good try. Hey, I love you guys. You know, I mean put it this way. If we stop right now, who they playing in a plan? The, the Warriors? That's a 50-50 chance right there. That's tough. And then you gotta go against a, a young, a, a young Minnesota. Or Dallas. Yeah. Or Dallas, who's cooking right now, stop it. Bro, listen, that's my guy. I love you. If I saw him, I'd tell him the same thing. Hey, you had a great year, big guy. That's crazy. You're 39. I sweat going up the stairs. I need a breath. Wow. You out here averaging 25. But it ain't it. Impressive. There's no way no one could say, now if they win, I will come back on this show and say, you know what, I retire from media because I don't know what I'm talking about. But they got, they got to climb Mount Everest. They got to climb Mount Everest. You know what's at the top of that? Yolkich. And there's nobody in the Western Conference, maybe other than, I'll say the Clippers. Yeah. Because Kawai's ballin', he's the best, most untalked player in the league right now. Barbecue in the whole league with no words. It's crazy. No TV, no words, just cooking everybody. But no, the Lakers, no, thank you. I'm sorry. Yes. I love the Kawai part. Okay, so let me ask you this then. Cause now we're already starting the Willie have a farewell to our wonky, rumors about LeBron in different cities. Do you see a world in which he leaves LA for one last hurrah and a shot at a title? Oh wow. No, that would be the dumbest thing you could do. What for what?  You're about to have your number in the rafters with Kobe and Shaq and Kareem. What other place can you do that? You've already done an LA. You've already done it in Cleveland, right? Now you're in LA. You want to move from your $30 million mansion to where? Oklahoma City? To Dallas? To San Antonio? Stop it. No. He's living luscious. He's like this, ah, we're in the seventh spot as he looks at the sun, looking at the Hollywood sign. He's like, well, all right, here we go. Another game, it's just the ease of life is crazy. Yeah, I only played on the Lakers for like a quarter of a season. That's a different experience. Playing in LA is a different experience. Absolutely. And I played in New York. If you can be successful there, there's no reason to leave.  You know, it hurts going from LA to Orlando, LA to Charlotte, LA to New Orleans. It is, it ain't the same. LA is beautiful. We got to have Channing on more just to keep shitting on cities like I do when we see more games. No, no, I'm crapping on the city, but I'm saying it ain't the same. You know it's not the same. Look, there are certain cities where you got outfits playing at the beginning of the year. Then there are sweatsuit cities. Okay. You're not leaving. You're not leaving a fashion city to go to a sweatsuit city. I sold my soul. I sold my soul at Winter Memphis for three years, bro. Trust me, I know exactly what you're talking about. Don't you sold for 90 million? Don't start, Channing. Don't start, Channing. I want to win too. Channing, start. We were doing good. Leave Memphis alone, Channing. Talk about Memphis, Channing. Leave Memphis alone. We were doing good. No, no, listen. Look, you can have all the ribs you want in Memphis, right? Look, honestly, when you did that, I was like, dang. I didn't know your injuries or whatnot, but I was like, I think they had still had part of the grind house there. I thought that was a good matchup for you. Obviously the city's not my favorite, but they got a certain culture there. It worked. So it's different than going, it's different than going to Detroit. It went from a good fit for literally, all right. Oh, great fit. Oh, yeah. All right. Great grind, because the Parsons contract. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't mess that up, buddy, but hey, you living good. I see that fancy painting behind you. Yeah. He's living the best life of everyone. I look expensive. Hey, kidding. So you don't think LeBron waits and goes wherever Bronny gets drafted or wherever he goes. We think he's staying in LA. Stop it. And then I said this before, but number one, LeBron is a dad, right?  Like for me, I got a 13-year-old boy. Now, if he's like getting ready to go to college, I'm like, man, yeah, Hendricks.  Like people are gonna pay attention to this, especially if he's not playing the best that he can. So for me, it's like, if Bronny plays in the league, when he does, I think he is a league player. I don't know if he's going this year, next year, whatever. Just an opportunity to play in a league, Bron will be happy. I think he's done it differently than his own, than his dad. I think if Bron can hang around, if he can hang on by a thread, even if he's 42, and Bronny's gone to San Antonio or someplace like that, but those two to play and be on the same court, I think that's gonna be pretty impactful and pretty awesome for them, both of them. Now, Michelle hates the San Antonio. I know, I don't want him to go to San Antonio. I wanna throw him back. I just told my team, because then I'm put in a precarious situation chanting. I'm even wearing his first hat today. Don't do this to me right now. I'm an experienced professional. To me, I think if you're gonna get somebody like Bronny, San Antonio's the safest place to put him. Why do you think the NBA put Wemby in San Antonio? It's the safest place to put superstars like that, where they can grow into their opportunity. Could you imagine Wemby in Detroit? What?  They put him with the best coach ever and said, hey, we gonna put you on TV just every so often. A little bit. And then there's no pressure to win. Don't worry about it. And you can live in your little bubble in San Antonio. No state tax. I wanna bring it back to 2016 when you get to Cleveland.  Yeah, for sure. What did you mean by that? And how did you remove those sticks up their butt? Well, first of all, I wasn't moving. No sticks up, no butts. But so I got traded from Orlando. We were one of the worst teams in the league. I was with Scott Skiles, who I like and appreciate. But his practices sucked. They were three hours.  We had to do layups for 30 minutes, like tedious, boring, boring stuff. And we were still getting drug by 30. So one day I told Skiles, I was like, man, Skiles, man, look, I'm 33 at the time, whatever.   So we kind of had an understanding I didn't have to do that. When I got traded to Cleveland, I was like, hold up. We don't got to practice this and we're winning? What are y'all thinking about? Y'all don't talk to each other?  So me being me, I put every single player on a text chain and then started, you know, wait up at night to watching the games and then started just texting everybody. And then they were like chanting, leave us alone as late, blah, blah, blah. Then I send funny gifts. Then I send, you know, rude things and things probably like HR would talk to me for. And then honestly, everyone just kind of ganged up at like hating my text threads. And then a month later, everyone started to love him. And so it was like, hey, Karee, you have a book reading. Why don't we three people go to the book reading? Right, whatever it is, right? He had a sound bowl reading, right? So I went to that, you know, Braun had a shoe release. We're like, hey, let's three, four people, let's go to this. So it just turned out to like actually take time away from your life to go hang out with your teammates. Like they're not that different. We're all cool. Like, I think Kevin, especially was like, dude, Kevin, you're just chilling and cleaving by yourself. We're like, you got a big old house. You got all this expensive liquor.  And so we literally used to throw parties at Kevin's house, right? Cause he had the best, obviously the best charcuterie plate, but you know, he had the best liquor too, right? So for me, yeah, we were like, why not hang out? Listen, we're not practicing. We're drumming teams. Why, what are y'all mad for? I just got paid for more land though. Come on, man, we gotta have some fun while we do this. So we started having fun and started working and yeah, like you started to see people started to talk to each other more, hang out more and obviously it worked out. Just a text thread, you guys. See, Lou, we wanna hang out with you and you won't respond and it hurts our feelings. Lou losing Atlanta. He's with his people. I know Atlanta people are different. He won't do anything. All right, so you guys won the championship that year that of course then led to the argument that I just, I'm not a huge fan of the, if Draymond hadn't been suspended, the Warriors would have won that series, but it is an argument that's been made many times. Why? Had nothing to do with Draymond. It was Andrew Boget, I heard, was the biggest issue. If you watch the film, Andrew Boget, the first two games, regardless of staff or anybody else, made the biggest impact on our ability to win. So he was blocking shots at the rim, setting big time screens, rebounding, outletting, like he was doing everything. When he got hurt, you notice we started driving the ball over and over and over again, like relentlessly. And the only time we'd settle for a three is if like end of shot clock or you were wide open.  You could not play, let's just shoot threes with them. You were gonna get crushed, right? They can go on a 9-0 run like this.  You made a mistake, oh, that's three points. You made another mistake or a turnover, oh, that's five points, four points. Like, you're like, dang, I'm down 12 now. How did that happen after three possessions?  When we started driving the whole, he would block everything. So when he left, when he got hurt, we were driving to the basket, getting layups and then getting our defense set so that we could actually have an opportunity to grab and hold so they weren't run around like crazy people. It was, he should get, he should get the most credit. It wasn't about Dre Ma. We were going to win that game regardless. Dre Ma could have played, you could have put Scotty Pippen out there, Dennis Rodman. We were going to win that game. Channing, this has been awesome. If you don't know, you probably already do. Road Trippin is the podcast with that fool, Richard Jefferson and Allie Clifton. We appreciate the time so much, we could probably go on for another hour. Yeah, thank you so much. Yeah, yeah, anytime, anytime. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.


Governor Matt Bevin has even tried to cut our teachers' pensions for not only for active teachers but for teachers that are already retired. Pensions are extremely important to our teachers. First of all, I worked 15 years before becoming a teacher and paid into Social Security. As a teacher, you don't pay into Social Security, you only pay into your pension. So thanks to the WPO Act of Mitch McConnell, we only see about 30% of what we paid into Social Security. So when I retire, my pension is what I'm going to have. If I'm married to someone who's not a teacher, you only draw about 30% of their Social Security. So this is our livelihood and this is the only way they're going to get quality teachers in the future. Who wants to work and fight for your pension? I mean, we can't do it without our community. Our teachers are backbone of our schools and take care of all the kids and thankfully here in Eastern Kentucky we do have their support. Bevin's slogan is that he is just getting started. He's just getting started all right on the Alec Playbook that's handed down from my Koch brothers without a state interest. He has repealed providing wages for work hands that I represent and this is detrimental to their putting food on their table. When you cut two thirds of a man's paycheck out and he's got a house payment, a truck payment, putting toys on a vehicle and driving an air back and forth to work just one way, that hurts big time. Well I hope that the people of the state of Kentucky can hear our voice. That they see that the promises that Matt Bevin's made yet on the backs of school teachers and policemen and firemen, social workers, construction workers. And I hope that the people of Kentucky send a clear signal to Matt Bevin and people like him, we are Kentucky. He is not. You know, one more of the ones that's putting the money back in the economy by paying taxes, buying vehicles and you know, he just don't understand. He's not from here. He ain't never had on a power of work boost in his life. He ain't never worked the construction job as far as I know. They'd run him off the first day.


Ooh, this one hitting different, bro. Look. Off the top with us, how we go, bro? I don't need any takes, bro.  Look, head too small for the headphones. I got big thoughts, don't leave me alone. My mind's racing, I could barely sleep. I got dreams in my peak. Damn, that's the top of the mountain. What a view, bro, I never looking down. I'm only looking down if my shoes are on the ground. So I could put it on and I walk and I never stop. I go forward and I'm headed to the top. Straight up the mountain, bro, I walk with the boots. Who's coming soon? Your boy with the tunes, I got music. I got videos, programs too. You wanna dunk with me? Bro, you don't wanna lose, oh. Damn, Stevie, getting smooth with it. Is this a freestyle or is this a new hit? I'm making myself laugh, I'm enjoying myself. That's what my shirt says. I never last, never lasting in bed cause I'm coming soon. Devil on tondra, you didn't need to know that. But listen, I didn't even mean to say that. Penis flow, I'm in the mean cat.  Who am I, man, that's you decide. Look in my eyes and I'm too alive. I'm two sides, no sides here, baby. I'm all around, everybody cheer. Damn, I hear what I heard and then I say what I said and you the one that gets deterred. Perchard, I'm on the side, I'm on the curb cause I can't even jump cause my hamstring is disturbed. I'm too alive, I like that line.  I'm that guy, no pico de gallo. I'm eating Mexican food on the fly though. That's a drive-by though. And a new beat started, but I was just on the outro and that's how we do it. Welcome to my show.  What's good? And that's how we do it. One take, Tony. Yeah, nothing matters, nothing matters. Wake up, wake up, wake up. It's Friday. What days, I want to live where there's no days. Go back to that one podcast where I talked about no days. I want to live where there's no days. What's funny is I was listening to a podcast. I think it was Chris DeStefano recently where he was like talking about how he didn't know what day it was because every day's the same because he's just doing what he loves. And I was like, that's what I was trying to say. I hope someone heard it, but no one listens to this. You're going to listen to that freestyle, dude. Music hits me different, bro. It's just, I mean, it hits everyone, but I love it. I want to make actual songs that I'm proud of. I have already made a couple, but I'm in the works. I want to have more time to do that. I'm making a big life change soon so that I can't wait to share that with you. And I still spit in spars, bro. I don't know, it's just something I do. I don't mean to, but the rhymes just come inside. They come in my mind and I flow them out. So you decide the Drake lines with it. When he goes like, you decide I'm too alive between you and I, where's the why? The four of them were two vowels. That's what it was that came into my mind, bro. So much fun. I love rapping. I love doing it all. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching, bro. We're at Dunk Life Daily, episode 71, 72. Boy, oh boy, we're flowing. I don't know what I'm doing with this. All I know is I want to keep getting better. I don't want, I'm not just going to drop this and forget it or whatever. I want to keep getting better. So when it comes to the podcast, I want to try to map it out. How's my hair real quick? Looks weird. These headphones, my head is literally too small. These headphones keep slipping off the back. That's a metaphor for something, but I'll write it another time. I'll just talk for now. But no, like my hamstring hurts. I'm doing a rehab vlog for it. It was really good. I think you're going to learn a lot. I'm working on the part two video, which is a long story of all the milestones I hit, how long things take, but I've only been out of this hamstring for two months. But since I post so friggin' often, it seems like forever. But think about six months is nothing. Like if I say I took six months off, that's nothing. So I got to think of that, do what's best for me, but I'm really excited for this new chapter in my life. I think you guys are going to be the beneficiaries of it, because I think I'll be able to do a lot more, be more free with my mind and be creative. And I'm excited to just get there. And I'm excited to, my life feels exciting because I feel like I'm on the right path. And even if you're not there yet, it's exciting to shoot for that. And that's kind of what I want this whole thing to be. I don't know what this channel's about, but I know it brings energy. Like today, talking about nonsense, just straight fire energy. Burn yourself and get going because you don't know what the hell's going on. I'm just excited. So I hope you guys feel that too. And I love the energy you guys are giving me. Whenever I post something, so many people respond. And all the people that are working on my dunk program are giving me the best results. And I want to make that even better. I want to make it more individualistic too and find a way to make you guys involved where we can make a little community together where we can all benefit from each other because I think it's really good. And I do have a lot of knowledge from this program. And that's what I'm learning about this hamstring when I go back to make my video, the part two video of how I jumped from 40 to 42.5. What I'm learning is that every injury I've had that I've overcame, my biggest one is the knees where it hurts so bad. I literally thought I was gonna have bad knees meaning like painful knees for the rest of my journey. And I was like, that's fine. I'll deal with it when I'm older. I'm not gonna stop jumping for six months. So I'm gonna have bad knees. But then I took a couple months off two to three months, learned about it. And now I'm jumping more than ever, like harder than ever. I've had longer sessions than ever and they're fine. And I feel like I learned how to treat them. And that's what I'm learning with my hamstring and how to get my pelvis and my hip flexors. All of that worked. So I'm gonna come back from this with so much more knowledge about my body and so much stronger of a foundation to build upon. And that's what life's about. Building foundations and building upon them so you can have a big castle. And I'm at the top. I wanna be at the top. But I just wanna enjoy. That's why I'm wearing the shirt. I'm enjoying, it's a lot of fun. I'm excited for the future and I'm excited to make better and better content and keep honing in. Cause every time I, if you look back at my podcasts like years ago, it was horrible. The content was pretty good at it but the lighting, the different things, the consistency, the topics, even me talking probably felt less coherent and confident I guess, meaning like I was second guessing and I've understood how my brain works a little bit better and then you could flow through it a little stronger. So you just keep learning, you keep making progress and that's what today's about. It's just pushing and keep being relentless and nonstop and determination and never giving up and energy and forward thinking and fortitude and progress. Ooh, I love it. And it's fun. And I hope you guys are doing that too.  I think the only theme I know of is energy for me. I go all over the place. Sometimes I just want to write bars like that.  By the way, I watched my old rap of my questions to Little Dickey recently, typing questions for Little Dickey on YouTube. It's like the sixth video and it's actually, there's one line in there that's so good but I think I want to remake it so the audio sounds good because I learned a lot about that too. I learned how to mix my vocals a little bit better. You just keep learning and little things and they just add up, dude. What else are you doing? What are you doing if you're not doing that? You're just, you're done? You're done for your life? I'm shooting for that friggin' moonshot, dude. Imagine one day we can go to the moon like on an elevator and get really, can we stand on it? I hope I live till then, dude. I want to stand on the moon.  Will it be? Or is it just like so beyond our comprehension that's not even scary? I was thinking if I go across the world, which I'm going to in a few months, hint, hint, like your energy's different, not just like your vibe. I'm just saying like the gravity's different, like the altitude and stuff. Like I'm at sea level here in Florida. You get so accustomed to it that there's just like, we're on this little globe and we're so used to our spot but imagine going to a whole different side of the planet. You probably feel your body is like, even though we fly and it's so much so different for your body. Anyway. Oh, I gotta stop shooting because my camera's literally getting too hot. It says that right now. I'm gonna take a screenshot of that and post it on the side. I love you. Have a great day. I don't want my camera to fail because I can't do this. So yeah, this is a one take, Tony. I love you. Have a great day. Tootaloo. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Tootaloo. Tootaloo.


An adult state has received additional 40,000 doses of the Modena vaccine from the federal government. They were delivered on Thursday at the Benin airport following a request by the state. This is in addition to the 65,000 doses received two weeks ago. The state government is now urging residents who are yet to be inoculated to ensure that they get the jab. The executive secretary of the state's primary health care authority, Julie Irabor, says they are safe. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Hello everybody, I'm Doug Soltes. I work for a company called Storage Made Easy. Today I'm going to be talking to you about data governance on OpenStack. So let's start off with headaches that you probably experience with data governance. And we've all been there, right? So first of all, you probably are being mandated to govern your data, which is a good thing. And some of the most common ones are going to be HIPAA for health care records, PCI DSS for credit card information, things like ISO 2107 for federal mandated. But there are plenty of other ones, right? There's serbanoxy, there's FIPS, you name it. There's probably some sort of regulation for it. And so that's probably the number one reason why right now you're governing your data. But there's another reason. It's just a good practice, right? You don't want to lose any data. You don't want to be the guy that gets called in. You want to protect your corporate assets. So when you're looking at any of these standards, they have a lot of things in common. The things that they have in common, the first one is encryption. You need to encrypt your data in flight and at rest. Now, why is that a problem? It's a problem because a number of your legacy applications, they don't encrypt your data in flight. They're using SIFs, they're using NFS, they're using an older version. Maybe your filers are not encrypting at rest. Even if you bring newer storage to the table, whether that's OpenStack Swift or it's SIF, you may not be encrypting your data at rest. The next thing that all of the standards out there for governance and compliance mandate is some form of auditing. So you need to be able to see who touched data, when they touched it, why they touched it, how it got deleted. This was critical in things like the Sony hack to find out where it came from. But you want to be more proactive than that. You want to start having alerts and monitoring of your audit logs as well. You need a secure way of sharing the data. You can't just email a medical record, you can't email the financials. If they're too big over 25 megs, you might have a problem and you need to put it on something like Dropbox, that's no good. So you need a way to securely share data, password protected. You also need a way of setting policies so that should that shared link get out of control, it can't be downloaded by somebody in Nigeria. And then lastly, you need the auditing. I'm sorry, not the auditing, you need the archiving. And so the archiving piece is the legal discovery, the illegal holds, how do I version my files? How do I have a trash can so that should I get infected by malware, I'm able to roll back versions of user's data? So I'm here to show you how you can make governance easy again. So again, I said I'm from a company called Storage Made Easy and what do we do? We let you bring your own storage no matter who it is. So you're at OpenStack, if that's OpenStack Swift or one of the Swift vendors like SwiftStack, it could be Seth either via Rados or S3 or it could be a commercial product, be that EMC, Scality, NetApp, you name it. You bring your storage and we're going to add on top of it governance, ease of use, encryption, policies and auditing that you need to protect your data when sharing it out for OpenStack. And we're gonna let you do this on any device. So I'm going to be demoing today a web browser but there are clients for Android and Mac, I'm sorry, Android and iOS, as well as desktop clients for Mac, Windows and Linux. So without further ado, let's do a quick demo of governance on OpenStack and we'll hope that my wifi and everything works just the way it should. So what you're seeing here is the Storage Made Easy interface and let me make it a little bit bigger for that screen. And the first thing that you notice is that I have multiple folders. I have a SIFS folder here because let's face it, the most common way that users interact with their data today is SIFS, Home Folders. I also have a SIFS folder. I have my own personal SIFS mapping from my admin and I have OpenStack Swift and this is actually linked to a SwiftStack instance that our partner of ours. So the first thing I want to show you is how do I protect my data through encryption? So in my data right now, my important files, I have this file right here. Now I made it plain text and I made it nice and easy. Nope, nothing like a demo toe. I made it nice and easy so that we'll be able to see this via Swift in a text editor. So the first thing I want to do is I want to take this file and I want to bring it into my Swift Storage. Now again, this could be SIFS, Scality, anything. So I just dragged and brought it into a container. Now for those of you that are familiar with Swift API, I'm using the Swift client, and let's make that bigger again. To show you that I have that file is called VIPLB and I also have two versions of the file. Versioning will get into in just a minute. And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to download that file and then I'm going to cat it just to show you that it's not encrypted. So now as the admin, you want to add encryption and you can do this many different ways. You can allow the users to manage their own encryption. You can do encryption per policy. So as they add back end storages, but what we're going to show you today is the most easy one. I'm just going to apply it to everything. So at the admin console, I'm going to go into organizations, options. I'm going to click on encryption and I'm going to add my secret encryption password. And I'm going to pick whether I want to apply this to shares via the organization or everything. I'm going to, for simplicity, apply this to absolutely everything. And the reason I'm going to apply it to everything is my users may be putting data into Dropbox. They might be putting it into Google Drive, 365 Office. All of these are fine, but I don't want them sharing it out through those mechanisms. I want to ensure that if any of my data leaves my enterprise, it's encrypted and protected and can only be shared through something that is being audited. So now let's go back to that Swift file and I have it right here. I have two versions of it and what I'm going to do is I'm going to edit it. Let's make it a little bigger and I'm going to add just the top of it. Hello, Boston. And I'm going to hit save. So now when I'm saving right now, it's saving to my Swift backend. Again, you need to be able to use any API, any interface when your users are consuming OpenStack storage. And the great thing about a Swift API is that it's probably already protected in-flight via HTTPS and TLS. Now that I've saved that file, let's go back, let's remove the previous download that I have, let's re-list my files and as you see, I now have another version. So let's re-download that vip.txt and let's cat it. Obviously this time you can see my file is encrypted whereas the last time it was just pure clear text. So what I've shown you is how to add any type of storage and regardless of if the storage backend protects the data or not, adding encryption for your data governance. The next thing we want to do is we want to share that file out with somebody. So I would like to share this. Now again, this could be my presentation, it could be PowerPoint, it can be in Swift, it can be in Seth, it could be on a NetApp filer. I'm going to click share and when I share it, I want to ensure that this is secure. So there's a couple of things I'm going to do. The first one is I'm going to expire this link after one day. I'm going to limit the number of downloads to two and I'm going to put a password on it. So now I've generated a new link and this new link instead of emailing out this file, I can now send this link out. How many times have you requested something from maybe your healthcare provider and they've sent you a secure email where now you have to log into a secure site and on and on and on versus just getting a link where you can access that data and think about it from your end user point of view. Now their email is not filling up with all these attachments. Their email is nice and clean. So I take that link and I email it out and to simulate that I'm just going to copy it and I'm going to open up say Firefox and I'm going to paste my link and I'm greeted by the request for a password so I'm going to put in the password, password. I'm going to open that file for text editor and ta-da, there's my file. Now if I open a new private window and download that a second time, I'm able to pull it again. But remember we set this, we have a policy that said I only want this downloaded two times. So now if I open up Opera and get a third window and I go to access that link and I put in my password, you can see that the number of downloads has been exceeded. So now we've shown how you can add governance via encryption and also a way to secure your shares and how your data is being accessed externally to your company. Next we want to look at how do I roll back? How do I add versioning? What people call legal hold or archiving? There's a number of ways to do this but the simplest we've already kind of demoed to you. So I have this file called VIPLB and remember I edited it so if I hit refresh, I'm going to see that I now have three copies of this, three versions of my data. So users are able to go back. Well now what if I have a malicious user? So I'm doing this webinar right now. I'm going to access my marketing share and again this is a live demo, this is not running on my laptop, this is actually running against servers in San Francisco and my Seth storage and my Swift storage are in other locations. So I have some presentations I've given recently so if I open this one up I've got my slideshow and so I'm going to be malicious. Now of course I could add a new version of it, I could work on it but I'm going to delete it and when I delete it you notice down here that it tells me that because I have legal hold on these TeamShare files that I am not able to recover it but who is, the admin is able to recover the data. This is the protection you need when we're talking about a number of the compliance as HIPAA, PCI DSS for the ability to hold your data. So if I go back to the admin console and I go back to the admins file manager, I can see that in the admins trash can is that PowerPoint and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to restore it because maybe that was deleted by accident. So now we've added in the ability to do legal holds, versioning, trash, whatever you wanna call it. The last main subject that is common to most of the data governance and compliance regulations out there is going to be auditing. How do I find out who touched my file, when they touched it, why they accessed it? Now as the admin, I have audit logs and these audit logs are exportable via CVS, Excel, a number of different formats. I'm able to search in them. So I've been working on this demo this morning and since it's an open stack demo, I'm able to search for the word open stack and let's zoom this a little bit and I can see that for example, I tried to access a file but it had expired. Remember, we tried to download that file three times. So I can see the first time it was downloaded in the IP address of who downloaded it, the second time and the third time and if I needed to, I could put what's called a watch or a monitor on this so that if there's somebody trying to download my files, either from an IP of a country that is not allowed to access these files or if it's from somebody maliciously trying to pull it several times, I could be alerted to it.  Our booth is C7, it's in the corner back there if you want a full demo, come on by. I can show you more about SAML and LDAP integration. I can show you how we can collaborate, how you can protect using AD like, I'm sorry, NTFS like permissions on the actual shares and files that you do and of course, come back Wednesday, one of my colleagues will be demonstrating how we connect to Ceph storage because Ceph is really interesting. We can connect to it via Rados, we can connect to it via S3 or OpenStack Swift, really allowing you to leverage the full Ceph experience. So with that, I thank you for your time and any questions? Thank you.
