Check it out, man. Quit playing, man. Young E-Z in the building, man. What's going on easy? Come in here. Shout out Boss Tug 101. Man, what a Boss is talking, man. Yes, sir. Man, so, man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. You know, just, you know, the flavor down here, man, the swangers and the pop trucks and all of the stuff, all the tattoos and swangers and, hey, man, y'all got a lot going on down here, man. Yeah, this is the city of the hustlers, man. You know what I'm saying? That's where we are. We getting money and staying out the way and trying to make it on this rap shit, man. You know what I'm saying? All ready. Let's get to it. Okay. Born and raised in Houston, Texas? Yup. Northside of Houston. Northside? Mm-hmm. Okay, because I don't hear a lot of traction coming from the north side. What? No. Nah, it's real. That's real. I mean, I feel like, you know, the last one that really was putting on, like, heavy, heavy was, you know, Boss Hog and them, they really took it to the next level.   So I feel like the north side, definitely, like, I'm trying to... They're sleeping on y'all.  That's real. So when you're growing up, were you raised with your mom and dad? I was actually raised with my aunt and my uncle, you know, the one I brought right here in the studio. Okay. With me today. My uncle Tito, you know, I was raised with him, kind of like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air story. That's kind of how it was with me, you know? So I was raised with them since I was, like, two years old. So where was mom and dad? I mean, my dad was living with my aunt at the time, you know?  So you knew your dad and y'all had a relationship? Yeah. Yeah, we have a relationship, you know? Me and my mom, we have a pretty good relationship now, but, you know, she had her own life. Back then it wasn't... Yeah, she had her life where her kid's going on, she had other kids, and I understood, you know? Were you the youngest? I was the oldest. The oldest? Okay. Okay. How did that make you feel, though?  I mean, I was just having a conversation with my girl about this yesterday. As a matter of fact, I just feel like the lack of not having, you know, the love I feel like I should have had really made me grow into the boss that I am today.  So I feel like the lack of having everything I didn't have really made me grow into the man that I was supposed to be and become and understand the hardships of life and going through it and learning how to deal with it and how to adjust to certain situations of not having my mom there, how I wanted her to be, you know? Right. So you still had your aunt there. Yeah, yeah. So you still had that female nurturing part, because everybody needs that, you know? I always say, when a single father raises a little girl or a little boy and the mother, no female is anywhere around, that child grows up not knowing their sensitive side. You know what I mean? That's true.  Men are usually like, you got to get it. That hard side, that's where the man come in. So I always feel like there's a balance. That's true. That's why each individual needs to have that balance. That's very true. Maybe. Maybe not. His views are always different from mine. It could not be true to be honest with you. Sometimes you don't need that. Maybe we need to get a little stiffer. The problem is the world needs more machete's more than men. That means men need to step up and be men. Women, it's cool. You know, we appreciate y'all, but yeah, we're going to do this man thing for real. But I definitely know you do need your mother.  But at the end of the day, if you don't have her, God has a way of feeling those gaps. No, for sure. I feel like that. Like I feel like, you know, back then I used to question God a lot. Like I feel like why'd he put me in the position he did. But as I'm getting older, I realize that God had a divine plan and timing for everything that he put me in the right situation I needed to be at. He put me through the hardships that I needed to be put through. He put me through a whole bunch of things just for me to have a story to tell. That's why I feel like right now I've got the organic following that I do and packing out concerts without having no radio support and stuff like that. I'm having five, six hundred people at my show. Every time I throw an album release, so, you know, so it's really just independent that really got me to the level that I'm at today and understanding that ain't nobody going to give it to me. You know, this is the cards I was dealt and I had to make it happen with the cards that I had in my hand, you know, so I complained about it. I had to make it happen. So did you always wanted the music as a kid growing up? Um, yeah. Honestly, I did. My grandma, she is, you know, used to sing with the mariachis, you know, Oh, and, you know, I come from a family of, you know, a lot of musicians, but they never did anything serious as in recorded music. And actually I'm the first in the family. I feel like really took it to that level on. But everybody sings my aunt. She's been on songs with me to live and die in the age with a ESG and J dog. And, you know, that song has over like six hundred, seven hundred thousand views. So, I mean, she was so happy when you asked her to be on that song. Oh, yeah, she was super happy.  She had this, uh, Buick Le Sabre. It was like a old school Buick Le Sabre. She'll pick us up from school and, you know, everybody knew my idea. She was the cool, you know, so she was over there jamming ESG, you know, flipping through the neighborhood. I know the flavor good. Like just pulling up and everybody just she put me on the music and and my uncle Tito, you know, he honestly is like, you know, I feel like when I started rapping, I was showing some things and he was like my biggest critic and it really helped me because I feel nowadays. I'm like, I don't feel like I put anything out there as weak, you know, because I'll go back to a Tito check this out. He like, man, it sound like you freestyle, bro. Go back in there and do it again.  And so I feel like I didn't even get a chance to even try to come on some weak stuff. If I was to try to even do this rap with having my uncle Tito put me on so much stuff like Devon, the dude and all kinds of good music that you put me on, you know, so salute to uncle Tito, man. So you you caught a lot of the older names. But like now in the city, not even in just this city, but now with the music industry. Tell me a young cat who you see doing their thing and you love their music. Man, to be real, I salute everybody doing it in the city. But to be honest, like I'm so, you know, just like ton of vision of what I got going on. Like I really love what what everybody's doing in the city right now. But to be honest, when I came in the game, I went straight for the old G's, you know, so like all my songs, my first album, I got Kiki. I got, you know, ESG. I got J-Dog, you know, and then, you know, I just really wanted to chase after the old G's first, the shoulder that I appreciate and paving the way. Because nowadays, I feel like a lot of times they don't say this new Houston like everybody's so quick that, you know, oh, we knew Houston. Like they know such thing, bro. It's new waves, same water like J-Dog say, you know, I feel like we're we're we're riding the wave right now and that they created. So we got to show love to appreciate them for even paving the way for us to even have a name out here.  So without them, I feel like it ain't it ain't no us. You know what I'm saying? So but OK, so when you started venturing off into the music industry and you say you have all these different people that you did features with. But how hard was it for you to build these relationships to get these connects to to get those features? Man, to be honest, I'm a show like I always bring it up every time, you know, but I just want to let them know like Salute the Kiki, you know, but when I first started off, I remember they had this contest that they were doing that that it was like a talent contest type thing. And the winner won a verse from Lil Kiki. And I was the only Mexican up in there, you know, and it was so many it was so many people that they had to divide it into three first rounds. So I remember going up in there and, you know, I performed a song and I won the first round, made it to the second round and I made it to the last round, which was a freestyle to the Southside beat. And I ended up winning, you know, and I got the verse from Kiki. But before that, you know, I didn't know it was going to take so long. We're going on two and a half months. And I was calling the promoter like, hey, man, what's going on? What's up with Kiki? Like, what's up with the verse?  You know, I'm on tour right now with Dog Pound and Ice Cube. But I was just so anxious because I remember being so hungry at the time, trying to start a name for myself that I was like, Brillock, bro, if the money's the issue, I know I won fair and square, but I'm going to put the money up. I'm not tripping. I just need this verse. And I remember him telling me, like, what are you going to do with the verse? I bet you're just going to put it on YouTube. Like, I'm pretty sure you're not going to put it on no platform. None of that. I'm like, man, look, bro. So long story short, it was a little bit of words exchanged.   So at that time, I got my verse from Kiki and Kiki's the only one I don't got a video with, you know, because that kind of, like, put a strain into our relationship. But now we're like super cool. Like, you know, he sees me now. I feel like I earn my respect coming into the game because I wasn't just so easily like, oh, just give it to me when you want to give me the verse.  So and then that's when I had ran into ESG and I felt it was going to be the same thing. And ESG is the first one I paid a feature with that took me to the next level. So I had got a verse with ESG and I remember I was kind of nervous. Like, man, I don't want the same thing happening. But ESG, super professional shot him the verse. He shot me the shot him the money. He shot me the verse in 24 hours. We shot the video and it was history from then, man. Like I was on the radio that same week. So it just felt like everything was just God's timing, you know, when you said in that competition that you said you were like the only Hispanic. How many times you're put in a place where or and do you feel intimidated being the only Hispanic in a lot of these rooms that you go into, especially in this industry? To be honest, I love it. You know, I love being I love being the one that because I feel like when I first started off, like, you know, I know Salute the Pesso, I got a song with Pesso Pesso, too. But I feel like I was one of the first Mexicans. I feel like that was really in the mix.  I'm paying duty slots to come hop on with Kiki and and it was a little old and I remember doing those comp, those shows. And then I remember earning my respect out here for, you know, for them to respect that I can actually flow. But it's just like the the right when I hop off stage, the amount of love I get from the from the, you know, the black community is just amazing.  You keep talking about this rapping and how long you've been doing it. Let me go on and put my let me put my blue tooth.  A lot of talk going on. A lot of talking. Yes. OK. I'm going to go ahead and run me a freestyle thing going here. Let's do that. I think we're ready to go. But he rappers. They the ones, boy. Let's do this one, nigga. Let's go. OK. Which one you say you would? Which one? My deep quiet storm. Everybody liked that one, don't you? Hot Boy West to pick the same damn one. And who else was it? Spaceboy, Spaceboy, the same one. They they think they mob deep around this hole. Yeah, for real. I love, I love the rap.  I don't know. I'm going to go there. I don't know. Let me get it. Let me get it pulled up since you picked that one. Mob deep, what is it called? Quiet storm. That's the one they pick. Mm hmm. Well, they think that I meant to your metal. Hot Boy West? No, mob deep. Mob deep, no. I'm metal. That's always been like something I want to do. I look up to the, you know, the New York rap because I feel like they really spit bars and I feel like that's what I be doing. I'm all about really, you know, spitting something, not just, you know, so I'm ready for this. There we go. Let's go, man. Hey, boss talk on the one, man. Yeah. Check it, man. Yeah, you don't need to be on the one. Yeah, yeah, man. How you feel when you go down through that like that, man? Man, it takes me to that zone. It takes me to that hunger. It takes me when I first started off and feeling like I was one of the hardest out the north, man.  Man, I loved it. What do you be thinking about? Because a lot of times I always see everybody when they're, when they be freestyling and they be like so zoned out. I'm like, what be running through your mind whenever you be rapping? Man, it just, it's just I get into that zone. It's just, it's just a whole another feeling like I remember starting off and feeling like if I can just get a chance to show people what I'm capable of, I know I could take it to the next level. So that's exactly what I did. I got a hell of a fan base right now. So salutes all my fans, man, you know. Where is your biggest fan base out of? Man, really all of Houston, everywhere I'm going. We went to Galveston yesterday because I just got a new whip and we went out there and there's people in Galveston just, hey, man, can I take a picture with you, bro? Buying my girl shots. I don't drink or smoke. So I was like, man, you know, you can go ahead and give baby a shot. I'm good. And I appreciate y'all took pictures with the whole little crew they have right there. They were super excited to see me, you know? And, you know, so I really got all of Houston. I feel like really be jamming for sure. Man, I love it, bro, man. You went down through there, man. I got hype too big. You know, I love that music. Yeah. Yeah, man. So, man, what's it, the thing, how was it working with J-Daw, man? Man, I love J-Daw, man. J-Daw, one of them guys, man, that really he's so street and he's so just so what you see is what you get. Man, I'm gonna tell you about this. It was another time we had did this thing and there were like J-Daw's gonna perform. So I remember going over there and DJ Pat, it was his show, you know what I'm saying? So we went out there and I remember feeling like I was so tired of DJs trying to play and like cut my time and having to go up there, get my money back and do stuff like that. When I went with DJ Pat, he was like, nah, bro, you gonna get your whole time with me. So me being nervous, like, man, I'm gonna end up cutting my time ago, make sure I do my whole set. J-Daw wasn't even in the building. So boom, J-Daw comes in there.  They say, $150. I said, all right, cool, boom, pay that, spit my flow, the one I shot at J-Daw in, the next thing you know, we doing minutes in society. That's like a song that's over 600,000 views on YouTube with me and J-Daw and working with him and it's just like, it's on a whole other level, man. I feel like he's one of Houston's best, like Houston DMX, you know, that's what I feel like. He got so much game and if you just sit there and listen, I feel like he's dropping a whole bunch of gems. Salute to the hog, man. Nah, that's real, man, because he one of those guys that I've been watching for a long time, man. Behind 5%, 10th wonder, never go down. I mean, slow down. You don't talk about that. Yeah. Man, that boy was sitting first, he bought eight, man. You know what I'm saying? Just some real spiel, man. So I just love the way that he go down through there and ESG was here last night, man. I've been, like I said, I talked to, since I started Boss Talk 101, I talked to J-Daw a few times and just, I got a lot of love for him.  That's my dog, man. You know, that's my boy. We got like 22 songs with each other. Yeah, that's my dog, man. That's hard. We got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. Excuse me, we got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. We done did the remix to that Master P. I feel like somebody's watching me. We did one to Street Military Dead in the Year sample. You know what I'm saying? Like we got some hits, man. We got a whole tape called Ghetto Prophets. Everybody's like, how do you get J-Daw in the studio? It's one of the hardest people to get a hold of, but I promise you, whenever he drops that track, it's just like the process, seeing him write is just like a real artist at work, you know? Like we'll be in the studio and he'll be like, hey bro, just run that beat. And I'm like, hey bro, you don't need no pen, no pad.  Gets in that zone, cut the lights off, leave them by itself. And then boom, I'm ready, man. Press record, boom. He goes in, man, you know, so. And it's like a three hour wait to get J-Daw to get something come out of his head, man. It's a long time. A lot of patience comes with working with the hug, but I promise whenever he drops something, it's like a whole another level. Like I've never experienced working with something, but I done worked with a lot of big people in the city and I gotta admit, the favorite person I've ever had a track with was J-Daw, that's why we got so many. We got like 22 tracks. Wow, that's crazy, man. So do you have any music with anybody else outside of H-Town or just H-Town? Yeah, just, I feel like just H-Town, like yeah. Will you work with other people or no? Yeah, I really wanna work with Highboy West. Like I feel like me and him got some. Have you reached out to him or you haven't? Nah, I haven't reached out to him. I really feel like. You got a link to him? Uh-uh. I really feel like, I had nothing to get ahold of him. One of my boys did a song with him. Exactly. So I really wanna. Yeah, he be posting on his top on his top. Yeah, I always try to do so. He's like anybody who wanna feature, reach out. I really wanna do some with him, yeah. Him, that's one of the ones I feel like he's just real raw and real. Like that's what I'm on. Like his music that I got coming out, is on a whole another level, bro. And I really feel like, like Highboy West, that's one of the ones that I feel like when you asked me early, who's music I messing with? Highboy West is the truth, man. He's from Texas, you know, so. Waco, we been up there, you, did you see him on Boss Top? I haven't seen him on Boss Top. You gotta have a few times. Yeah, man, he's the truth. This that platform, this platform and embracing, for real. I've been all up to Waco, man. I deal with those. This Texas, man. This is for us, by us. Like, boo back in the day, man. This is it. You know what I'm saying? This is your platform. Yeah, man. He is true, bro. And that's why when Aldi called me, I had got home real late, real yesterday. We went out and Aldi. Try that Aldi 300. Man, that dude right there is the truth. Since my boy Dizzy Mayaki, that's how we know each other. He shot all my videos, Dizzy Mayaki. And he came out, he was like, hey, bro, you heard about my boy Aldi, man. Look, check him out. And I told him, man, like, soon as I heard Aldi, I'm like, oh, this dude is the truth, man. You know what I'm saying? Like the way he raps. And I tell him, like, look, bro, I feel like I done got the, like I've earned everything that I came in this game. Like I got songs with Sauce Walker, Pesso Pesso, Boston George, J-Doc, Slim Thug, Paul Wall. You know, I got songs with Lil Jeremy. I got songs with Pesso. I got songs with Kili Callion. Like I done worked with the whole city, man. So I feel like whenever Aldi came in, I see everything that's going on for him. I honestly feel like I told him, bro, I'm so happy for everything that you got accomplished, man. Cause I feel like he deserves everything, especially his story and where he came from and how he came out and got straight to it.  Salute to Aldi, man. You know what I'm saying? The hardest worker in the game for real, for real. Man, so how was it working with Paul Wall? I'm going to tell you the truth, man. Paul Wall is one of the realest dudes in the game. I remember I was like, look, bro, I got this song called Dreams to Reality, The Fat Pat. And I put Slim on there. I got J-Doc on there and I got Paul Wall. And I told him, hey, look, bro, we got all this thing, I'm about to turn my album in. Man, Paul signed me the thing. He said, check your email, it was already done. And Paul is one of the realest ones in the game. I honestly feel like if anybody wants to know what's Houston, I feel like Paul Wall is definitely one of the way he embraces the culture and the way he ain't got no hate and bone in his body. Man, that's the way I feel like I want to be in the game cause I show so much love to the up and coming. And I got so much, I use my platform to help the up and coming grow. Like I got so many features with the young up and coming that I've done show them love and show them to the video shoot and did more than just take their money. I'm putting them on my platform, posting them on my wall, give them a swipe up on my story for a whole week. And that's what I feel like. How long, like when you reach out to Paul Wall, cause you know, you said the little Kiki thing kind of it took, it didn't go the way you had planned but when you had gotten grown a little bit more when you reach out to Paul Wall, right? Oh yeah, me and Paul already knew me by name. That's the difference.  You know what I'm saying? Kiki is one of the, you know the artists that really showed you how to get some money up out of here. Like, you know, he's a successful rapper in the Houston community and just all around. So I understood where he was coming from because sometimes ain't nothing worse than a rapper trying to waste your time. So I feel like now that he's seen, me and Kiki got like three more songs with each other and they all worked out fine. Like I got a song with him and Flip that never came out instead of coming down with PMC and then so honestly feel after I've earned my respect with Kiki. Oh man, it's on a whole nother level. I done did the album release party where I had Kiki come out and like I said I just feel like honestly feel he probably thought I was trying to waste his time but man, you know, here I am now still in the game and being one of the voices I hear if you know, underground and actually scratching the surface out here in Houston. So you're doing a great job for what I hear, man. You don't name everybody that I could really think of down here like you don't work with everybody. Everybody, everybody, you know. And then all off of myself too like honestly feel like coming in this game. A lot of people try to ask me, you know what's the, you know, how did you get to where you was at and honestly feel like you got to have your back right even before the rap, you know because it's investing, it's going to the studio and getting the right mix and a master and not just going to record somewhere and then just putting anything out getting good graphics, getting good video shot. That's what it's all about, you know and not being scared to invest your money. And I felt like my whole life was a gamble. So I honestly started with nothing. So I felt like me rolling the dice on myself was just like the only thing I can do and I'll always roll 7-Eleven, you know what I'm saying? So I'm good at taking a chance and it worked for me, you know and I could have got a song with ESG and it didn't do nothing, you know so when I did that song with E, boom, it blew up. I was in the Gold Toes office getting a distribution deal and then with DJ Michael Watts for four Sundays in the row him playing Samoa, you know so and then, you know ESG is one of the realest in the game too, man. I can't talk about Paul before I talk about ESG, man. I remember when we first started off and we did Samoa he introduced me to Gold Toes and then Screwfest was coming up and y'all know how crazy Screwfest gets. It was like over 3,000 or 4,000 people and ESG's like, man, salute to one of the hardest young essays working man in the city. My boy, Young Easy, he brought me in front of a whole bunch of people, man and brought me on stage and I always remember I'd be so excited to perform one song and people don't know, that's what it is. You get that one song and you show the people how you rap and how you're so passionate I started gaining fans like that being at the Screwfest, the day of unity with SPM. ESG brought me to that, you know and then now having a personal relationship with SPM him calling me from jail and showing love and being so involved with everybody I grew up listening to that I can only imagine working with them, having relationships with them and it just feels amazing, you know what I'm saying? I'm so respectful, I definitely respect what you've done.  Number one, J-Daw. Number one dead or alive, ever in life.  Period, nigga. That's my D-Daw, man. That's my D-Daw, man, I ain't gonna lie, like. Number two, Phat Phat. Any genre, this is all about any genre. I don't care what you just named that J-Daw. Yeah, I'm still going with that, nigga. I'm still going with that, man. Number three, POT. POT, yeah. Really it's POT number one, J-Daw and then Phat Phat. That's hard, man. Man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. How can people get a hold of you if they trying to rock a house? Is it social media? Young, Easy, NSC, they didn't let me put the dollar S on the Instagram, so it's Young, Easy, NSC, Y-O-U-N-G-E-A-S-Y-N-S-C on YouTube.  We won Easy January 27th on my birthday. That's gonna be hard, man.  You coming to Dallas? I'm coming to Dallas when it's time to come. So you're coming, yeah, okay. I'm coming out there, for sure. Okay, you got my number now, so we can do that one pretty much in preparation as well. Okay, we gonna lock it in, man. Boss Talk 101. We're the boss's talk, man, check it, man. It's been another great segment of Boss Talk 101. And we out.


Question is from Big Daddy Bass. What do you think is overall better for muscular health and longevity? Stretching, foam rolling, or mobility work? Mobility. Well, see, mobility work encompasses both stretching, foam rolling, and other things. So this is the reason why I picked this question is I think it's important to explain to people what mobility really encompasses. Mobility refers to your ability to move through a full range of motion and have complete control with strength and stability through that range of motion. That means you have good mobility. Now, I know mobility in other circles may be used to just mean range of motion. Like, oh, how far can you stretch or how far can you move a joint or whatever? That's your mobility. That's not the way we use it. The way we use it is, can you move through that full range of motion but own it? Also own it, also have strength and connection to it. Now, what are the methods to improve that kind of mobility? They include stretching. Stretching does a phenomenal job at increasing range of motion. It doesn't give you any strength or connection to that range of motion, but it gives you that range of motion. Foam rolling is another great thing that you can use. How does foam rolling work? Well, there's some debate as to how it works exactly, but it does allow people to move better with certain exercises. That way you can strengthen better movement patterns. So if I foam roll before I squat, I may squat better. So therefore I'm gonna strengthen better squats because of it. So therefore I'm gonna challenge you. One of these three things can live without the others. If you have the proper range of motion and you do one of these three things, you can eliminate the other two. Yeah, well, mobility work includes all of that. What do you mean foam roll? Well, if you can do mobility drills, like flow sessions like we have in our HIIT program, if you can do those properly and with good form, you may never have to foam roll or stretch. Now, if you cannot do some of these mobility drills and you're limited, stretching and foam rolling are tools to help you get there. Totally. And I'm very passionate about this because I'm just recently talking to my stepdad's new wife and she's about to do hip surgery. And one of the things that I'm stressing to her is that you may get the temporary relief after the surgery. In fact, you probably will. You'll probably feel amazing.  If you don't work on your internal and external rotation of the hips, because- You're gonna keep resting on the joint. Exactly. And I said, but what's great is if you do put the work in to get there and to get these mobile hips, if you just stay up on the mobility drills, you may never have to static stretch or foam roll ever again. And why I'm passionate about this is because I've watched it happen to many clients and I've experienced it myself that once I did put all the work in to get that full range of motion up, as long as I did mobility drills that promoted that, the foam rolling and the stretching was- I could totally speak to that in the way I used to train with my clients too. I would have them foam roll before every session. And I would have them do some dynamic movements and things to kind of get warmed up before I realized the true value in getting into these mobility drills, it promotes all those things. The movement of it is what it promotes, the strength, the control over it. And really it's about having access. So if I'm in a certain range of motion, I just know that I can muscularly command a way to brace and protect my joint. Look, it depends who you're talking to, right? So if you have good movement patterns, if you can move through full range of motion, you can just lift weights with good form, deep squats and deadlifts and Z presses and rows and do that really well and work through full range of motion. And you'll probably never have to do a lot of the other stuff. Now those other things are definitely tools. They're tools. If you don't have that kind of mobility, you find you have areas you can work on, you can utilize those tools to help you. You can utilize them. And good mobility work tends to encompass all of it. You're right. A mobility drill encompasses stretching and activation throughout the whole movement. You mentioned the flow drills that we have in MAPS hit. Those are supposed to improve mobility.  What I forgot to mention, well, like so the knots, right? So that's the biggest thing that people want to attribute is it relieves my knots and these things that form these pressure points on my body if I do the foam rolling. And you come to realize doing these mobility drills, it relieves that stress, that pain alleviates. It prevents them from getting there in the first place. Right, that's what it does. And you can, if again, if you're incredible at each one of these individually, that you still would have to, you could be incredible at stretching. You do yoga all the time. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you have mobility, right? You're flexible. You can do the splits, but do you have control through that range of motion? And that's where that's different. So stretching alone by itself is not good enough. Foam rolling by itself. Foam rolling addresses the temporary relief. It relieves those knots. Oh, okay, now I can actually move a little bit better. So yes, it's a tool again. But again, foam rolling by itself, without anything else, doesn't work. But good mobility done correctly can live alone by itself. If you own the range of motion, you have control of it. So I'm talking to somebody right now who is in their early 20s. They have no joint pain. They have good, they can move their joints through full range of motion. They don't wanna waste their time stretching and doing foam roll. Just mobility work. If you do mobility work, or to your point, Sal, doing full range of motion of all these different exercises that challenges each range of motion on every major joint, you will never have to probably stretch your foam roll. No, no. I mean, again, just having a good range of motion, I mean, reality is having a good range of motion without strength causes instability. It causes instability. It actually is lack of mobility, at least the way that we're describing. I've worked with clients like this.  Hyper, they had long ranges of motion. One of them just did lots and lots of static stretching. The other one was just born that way. And they were constantly hurting themselves because they didn't have enough strength and tension to hold things into place. It was loose. Yeah. Like I was going through all the research and everything when I was looking at isometric training and just isometric training in itself has an analgesic effect. So that basically they proven that it alleviates pain. And again, I think this is just, you know, speaks back to the fact that it just creates more stability your body. Like it reduces that signal that we need to take care of this. Totally.


Hello everyone, welcome to NewsClick. On the daily roundup, we discuss some of the most important stories that we report about at NewsClick. In the biggest story of the day, we look at the controversy surrounding the report on the unemployment data collected by the NSSO. According to a story published in today's business standard, the survey has reported the unemployment rate at a four-decade high, standing tall at 6.1% in 2017-18. In fact, the survey has some extremely troubling markers that are being withheld by the Modi-led BJP government at the center. And looking at this graph where there is a big surge in the joblessness, one can understand the government's attempt at suppressing this disappointing performance review of the government, which was supposed to bring a chidin for the people. Instead, it ended up destabilizing the economy like never before with its masterstroke demonetization. It was the resignation of the two independent members of the National Statistical Commission that blew the lid of this cowardly attempt of the government, which is trying to put a veil on the ground reality ahead of the elections. The national capital at this point is in the middle of a nine-day protest where right from members of the civil society, ex-servicemen, farmers, students and various leaders of different movements have joined hands against the anti-people policy of the Narendra Modi government. The protesters will be raising a spate of issues during their agitation, including unemployment, fund cuts in education, attacks on the higher education, massive agrarian crisis, dismantling of public sector banks, and rise in hate crimes in the country. My name is Hannaan Mollah. I am the general secretary of all India's farmers. We have three groups of farmers, an anti-fascist group of farmers and a team of young people. We are organizing this fight today. This is the slogan of Jai Joaan, Jai Kisan, Jai Nao Joaan, Jai Sangvidhan and United India. This is the basis of our slogan.  Our 18th year of demand is the demand of the labourer, the farmer, the student, the youth, the women, the 1st and 20th year of demand is the demand of the Dalit, the Chhatra and the youth. With this 18th year of demand, we have been here for nine days. Members from several students and teachers' organizations have also been protesting in Delhi against a 13-point roster system introduced in the universities. It has been termed as a casteist exclusionary roster which is likely to reduce reservation for the SC, ST and OBC candidates. The protesters are demanding that the centre pass an ordinance to do away with the 13-point roster and reintroduce the 200-point roster. Do take a look at our ground report. Last year, Alabad High Court had shut down the 200-point roster in a petition judgment. After that, a case took place in the Supreme Court. Even there, the judgment of Alabad High Court was upholded. In the meantime, Duta and the Dalit and Bhaujan societies developed and developed and M.H.R.D. promised the delegation of Duta that they will bring an ordinance or a bill to undo the decision of the Supreme Court. After that, we are confident that the government is going to do this. After that, the government filed an SLP and said that if nothing happens in the SLP, we will bring an ordinance. We waited. After the Supreme Court has removed the SLP, the government has gone silent. It does not want to bring an ordinance or a bill. If the 200-point roster is removed and the department-wise roster is formed, we believe that the SC, ST and OBC will have to get rid of the big organization. They will have to go to their jobs. We think that this will be a huge shock from the perspective of the entire society. And the society will have to push back. Thank you very much.


We are the Mobile World Congress with ThinkSilicon. So how is it? Who are you? I'm George Ziroblos, co-founder and CEO of ThinkSilicon. And who are you? I'm Uli Müller. I'm vice president of marketing. And ThinkSilicon, you say here it's the world's most power efficient GPU. Is that true? Of course. So you're making GPU? Yes, we are doing graphics processors for extremely low power applications, like smart watches or smart glasses. And we are beating the competition in terms of power, cost and performance. How do you do this? We have secret source in different domains. One of the very important part is the compression of the data. So we compress everything, we shrink everything. And the world source shrink the hardware and the software. So here you have some demos. Can you show what you have here? So yes, sure. What we have here from right to left. Right on the right side you see here our 2.5D GPU on the FPGA board. And you can see here is a classical smartwatch face, what you can see here. What we can try, what else we can do with certain other applications we can run here. And here's a rotating clock and here you see the 3D effect. So what's really interesting here is that we don't need a lot of power for that. So we basically built this architecture towards, like George already said, to small display devices with 1.5 to 6 inch. Here you have an instrument cluster even for automotive. You can drive an automotive display with that. So low power, how low power? And how much do you measure? Do you show the difference? Yes. So how low can it go? For this kind of applications we can go down to 1mB, the big power. 1mB what? In 1mB. That sounds quite low, no? It is impressive, yes. This is one of the most important things to have long battery life. That's quite hard. You want to have something that looks good but lasts for months. Yes, actually what we're trying to achieve is to have a, usually in the face like your smartphone, but have it on your smartwatch, while the battery life is one or two weeks. While now either you have a poor experience on your smartwatch, either the battery life is one day or even less. And you have some other demo here, which one is that? So here, this is a very interesting project here. This is actually an FPGA from Lattice, and we programmed this FPGA with our display graphic processor here. And this is even smaller than what we've seen before. It's an ultra-small FPGA with just 5,000 LUTs. And what we demonstrate here is that we can drive a display with so little resources and it's battery powered. You see, it's not attached to any, or not connected to any device or to any outlet. And this is usually used on, always on displays, what you have on your mobile phone, would you have your data or your date or your time. And here we're demoing certain kind of apps and applications, what you can do with that. Here the battery, the power consumption is even lower. It's even below one milliwatt. Below one milliwatt. So is the idea that potentially you can have an always on OLED display running some nice animation even all the time?  So you can extend the battery life of the standby. Either you can have very nice and fluid graphics, while the system is on, and keeping the consumption extremely low. And do you have some customers doing this already or is it potential in the future? We had last week a present list with Seconds Communications, a very big company in the LTE domain space. So they integrated an LTE modem, a system on chip based on a non-processor and our GPU. We have the latest project now. One of our big customers is Microchips and Dialog. All right. Since when did you do this? We did it for the last nine years. Nine? Yeah. We built all the hardware, the software, the compilers, the processor, everything. Did you say how many it was shipped in total in nine years? How many? Of your end chips that might have yours? Are you not allowed to say? Yes, we have some problems to talk about. Okay, no need to say. All right, but maybe millions? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Millions of devices out there are easily available. And the last part is that beyond the GPU and the hardware, we also give our customers the best case to make our GPUs very easy to use and allow them to go very fast to the market, decreasing the time of the application development. So here we have an example. This is a graphical interface. We don't have a... We don't have a mouse pad. But... The usual case, the demo is not... Okay, yeah, no problem. But then, how does that work? I think go for the laptop. Okay, no problem. It's disconnected. So what is special about it? There's a UI. It's a UI which is very close to your mobile phone. There are some 3D effects. There are some projections, so it's really high quality. And the differentiator is that you can build this UI in a couple of hours or days instead of weeks or months without using our tools. But what is the kind of software that runs this? It's our software. So we build this... We call it WeBuilder Toolkit and translates all the software to calls to our GPU. So it gets the benefit of the acceleration from our GPU in order to run this user interface. So it's about compression? It's about optimal code optimizations? It's how to transform and translate a graphical user interface to calls to our GPU in order to get the most benefit out of the GPU. Including everything. Hardware, software compression, whatever we offer. And here at the Mobile Oil Congress, you're looking for all kinds of potential customers, right? We have potential customers, potential investors, press coverage, so as a start-up we need some exposure. These are the places to be. What's the target? How big are you going to be? Well, seeing we want to be the next imagination would probably be a very ambitious target, but we want to be somewhere in between, maybe between Vivanti and Imagination, which is one of our competitors. So you're going to have more products, more different GPUs? Not only we have a roadmap about the GPUs and the next release is about the AP. A very important part is that using our technology which is validated, we have a number of patents in several fields and our major advantage is the low power. The question is how we can apply this technology to new kinds of applications like virtual reality or augmented reality. And this will be a challenge for us. Can you run Android? Yes, we do. You do. But then that's one of your bigger GPUs. You have some small and the bigger ones? It's the middle, the high end. All right. Cool. All right, so thanks a lot. And there it is. People can read more here. That's the stuff here.
