I was going to ask if you, I'm going to tell you that I have a green minivan if you want to go behind one of the files. One second, I'm on the live show here. I should have, I should have muted you before I started the theme song. Let me get this going, hold on. I should have muted you because of the cacarooning going on in the background. Yeah, I had my wife, she's cleaning my office right now. Oh yeah, the theme song was, what? Anyway.  Yeah, well, you know, you live and learn. I have to remember to mute before I start the theme song. Anyway, very good looking baklava from the Turkish restaurant. All you people out there that are going to watch the rerun of the show will see the baklava. And, um, let's see, I want to start by saying, Well, you can't start to blow me in with the, with the whistle there. Oh, that's right. The Bosons. Otherwise, it's not official. The Commodore Jeff Sanbella has been piped aboard. And now I got the quail hog. Picking up the fruit of the mar, the fruit of the mar, all hands on deck. So how has this past week been with your training? Excellent. No, it's been very good. Getting ready for, you know, World Cup in September. And I've been teaching a lot. I spent five hours yesterday teaching one of the engineers at my company about circular torque train and all the body flow movements on the floor. Like we didn't even train with weights till about three hours into it. And he's trying to rehabilitate his shoulder. So I helped him with that. So it was very, very, very good. Yeah. Um, well, rehabilitation with circular training has to be done in a way where it's not too repetitive because then there's, uh, injury from something being repetitive.  They get the, Tommy John. Yeah. They have to get Tommy John surgery, the rotator cuff. I don't know. I don't know if these trainers on the baseball teams are properly stretching the players because, you know, they're the approach they're using for Jean Carlos Stan is that they have a hunch that he's getting injured too often because he's, he's, he's training for muscle mass.  So they're trying to have him train, I believe, higher volume to get him toned and tight and leaner or, or, you know, um, trying to take a different approach. We'll see, we'll see if somebody's injury prone compared to everyone else. That could be a red flag, but then again, it could be the, uh, the incompetence of the trainers. You know, they got, these guys have got to, they got to get these guys on the field stretching. I know.  It's kind of, it's going to put wear and tear.  They got to break it up. But anyway, uh, you got to stretch and, uh, uh, the, uh, you're teaching the technique first, the proper technique of circular torque training before they start getting into progression, progression in terms of raising the, uh, the weight of the club. Um, because these guys that twirl one or two pound friggin Indian clubs, that gets too light very quickly. Yeah. The challenges is lost. And then, um, I think, I think they go up to five pounds, you know, regular, regular Indian clubs goes up to five pounds. Oh, so anyway, I want to read something. I want to read something that's very important about, um, food toxicity and in regards to lectins. People don't realize, well, first of all, like I said in the past, lectins are a defense system that plants have to keep animals from eating them. Like eggplant and tomatoes. Right. The nightshade family, potato, potato skins, uh, almond skins, uh, tomato skins that I thought that's why the Italians peel, peel their tomatoes. And now I know why they blanch them and they peel high and toxic lectins, uh, eggplant skin. It's really the skin. Now the thing is that once you remove the skin, like, uh, then the lectins are gone. Now beans have to be soaked overnight and then rinsed well. Uh, and then as you cook them, they, they, they become lectin free or, or the lectins break down. Right. Right. Now the lectins, um, getting back to potatoes. I prepared dinner. I made fish cakes from mackerel and I, and I, yeah, it was, it was very good. And I, I, I took one of those big, giant, long Idaho potatoes, which I happen to think the flavor's nice. And, um, but not Idaho recycled wood. No, no, not, not, not that guy, the veteran owned company. No. The, um, I peeled the skin off, especially after I read that article about lectins being, uh, very high in the skin. So I peeled it. And after I steamed it in my big Chinese steam pop, I put extra, I split it down the middle. I put extra virgin olive oil and Himalayan pink salt. And when you peel it, not only do they taste better as a potato, but you can smash it and, and, and create homemade mashed potato. Wow. Now getting back to something else. I don't want to bring this up because I don't want people to get the idea that sweet potatoes and yams are potatoes. They're not. Let me see if this appears. There we go. They're not potatoes and they have no lectins. That's the great thing about them. Hmm. It says here are sweet potatoes high or low in lectins. All right. There we go. All right. Okay. No sweet potatoes are not high in lectins and here at lectin foods base, we consider sweet potatoes safe to eat on a lectin free diet. Now I just want people to know that lectins, the first thing that it does to your body that's bad is it creates severe inflammation. Yup. Which attracts many degenerative diseases and it greatly increases your chance of getting an autoimmune disease, which is pretty serious.  Oh, the, the microbiome, the probiotics. Yes. Yes. The microbiome. And I'm going to get, I'm going to get to that because I had a nice long conversation with my gastroenterologist after he did a colonoscopy. I did well. And then I went back for consultation and he, and he agreed whole, whole heartedly on what I had learned from studying it. Now it says here, warning, sweet potatoes are not the same as potatoes. Potatoes are considered high in lectins and are part of the nightshade family. Okay. What types of sweet potatoes are safe to eat on a lectin diet? There are many types of sweet potatoes, including purple, garnet and the one we all know and love the common deep orange colored variety. In our experience and knowledge, all of these varieties are safe to eat on a lectin free diet. There are tons of foods that pair well with sweet potatoes.   Not only that, they're very nutrient dense and high in fiber. Lectins and sweet potatoes compared to in potatoes. Okay. While sweet potatoes and potatoes are both root vegetables, potatoes are nightshades and sweet potatoes are not. Okay. They already said that. Potatoes are a nightshade in the Solanaceae family. Other nightshades includes peppers, tomatoes and eggplant. Now the, if you remove the seeds of the peppers, that really, the greatly reduces the lectin. Sweet potatoes, however, are in the convo, volaceae family. Volaceae family? Sounds like the vulva. Yeah. As it is a yam or a sweet potato, yams are commonly called sweet potatoes and vice versa. However, as it is a yam or sweet potato, yams are commonly called sweet potatoes and vice versa. However, are, are the different species as well. They are typically very similar in appearance and yams are also often a deep orange color. They taste very similar as well and are also considered safe to eat an electing free diet. Hmm. The short and sweet of it is that potatoes are not considered a low lectin food. Whereas sweet potatoes are considered low in lectins and safe to eat. All right. Here we're going to get to cut to the chase. Benefits of eating sweet potatoes. Great source of vitamin A, which would be beta carotene. Let's see. Vitamin A is extremely important. Everyone knows. I'm just speed reading. Let's see. If you're going to use butter or coconut oil, you're going to use organic or grass-fed cows, butter from grass-fed cows, which has natural vitamin A. Let's see. They are a healthy alternative to bread or other carbs and are quite low in calories. Okay. Complex carbs. They contain manganese, P vitamins, high minerals, antioxidants, furthermore. They contain large amounts of potassium that rival even bananas. It's estimated that one cup of sweet potato has twice as much potassium as a single medium size banana. Now the purple ones are even more nutritious in terms of antioxidant power because of the purple color. The pigmentation of any brightly colored fruit and vegetable is a strong antioxidant. They didn't mention fiber, which it does. It is high in fiber. It is an excellent complex carbohydrate source. It gives you a vast amount of nutrition. This is why back in the day when I used to have a juice extractor, I didn't have a good one. I had a cheap one. Was it bought by Jake? That kind of a huckster. Jake Seinfeld and Ron Popeel, he died. The late Ron Popeel. His products weren't that bad. My sister had the showtime rotisserie grill and it smoked the whole house.  Smoke alarms went off and everything. What was I saying? I lost my train of thought. Like Frank Costanza used to say, I lost my train of thought. That's what happens when I digress. When I had the juice extractor, I read about sweet potatoes and I said, you know what? They taste fantastic. They taste great. They are very high in nutritional density. Let me juice raw sweet potatoes. I cut it up and I used it. You know what? It made an outstanding juice because when you use a good juice extractor, the nutrients in the fruits and veggies become sell available. They go right to your bloodstream and are very easily. Especially if you chew it in your mouth, the juice gets your saliva and it helps get in the bloodstream right from them. I'm glad you mentioned saliva. If you put it under your tongue and chew it, it gets even better. That's sublingual. The saliva is the very first process in digestion. Saliva has certain enzymes that prepare the food before they enter the stomach. The stomach has hydrochloric acid. It prepares the food, gets it ready, breaks it down between chewing. Not just chewing, but the enzymes in the saliva with the chewing prepares the food. You made a very good point about juice. Fresh juice has live enzymes. The pasteurized juice in the supermarket has known enzymes because the pasteurization kills the enzymes. Now, we cannot digest fiber, but fiber is crucial for our health because our microbiome, the probiotics, they feed on fiber. They eat fiber. So fiber is a prebiotic to feed and stimulate the production and reproduction of the microbiome, the probiotics. So fiber is really a crucial thing. So don't take antibiotics. Well, antibiotics will kill your microbiome, but that's why the doctor doesn't want you to take antibiotics too long. You're supposed to take like one bottle. Until the illness subsides. Yeah. And then you cease. Ronnie S. from Clearwater, Florida. Happy Sunday to you. He says happy Sunday to James and the Commodore. Thank you. Thank you for stopping by. We do sports talk here too. I know Ronnie's. I'm getting ready for that. I really have a couple of items I'm going to talk to you about. Ronnie S. is into sports talk. Okay. Now you have the floor with your topics. So anyways, first topic. I read today that Zach Wilson, the young court, he's in his third year with the Jets. Yeah. He used to be traded. Immediately. As the season ends, which should probably be today. But. And then I learned today. That the New York Jets. Never. Build up a rookie quarterback for future success. That's why the New York Jets. Always like to get these. Veteran quarterbacks. But you saw what happened to Sam. Donald. Yeah. When he was a rookie quarterback, you saw it happen to Mark Sanchez. He failed. And now Zach Wilson, the rookie quarterback, he's failing because the coaches on the other management and the Jets. Never. Build up these young quarterbacks. Now do you see a similarity in just Jets general management with with Brian Cash, man of the Yankees. Well, what I'm going to look at. Right now.  I love the Martian. Dominguez. Right. Jason Dominguez. I pray to God. He did not get traded to the Florida. The Miami Marlins. I think he friggin did. That's like. That would be a. A.  That would be a tremendously, tremendously huge. Cashman. That's the future of the state. Cashman. Because that's the future of the success. Just like Volpe and all those other young guys. You got to keep those guys around. You got to keep the young, the young blood. Just like we're. Washington. Politics in Washington, D.C.  Dominguez. Dominguez. Now he, he, they said he will be ready for spring training. Right. That's what that's what they said. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Marchion. Jason, Jason with two S's. Yeah, no, no, I got it. I got him up. I just want to see if he's traded. No, thank God. Well, news. Because. In the four game in the several games that he played at the end of the season.  And now this guy. Juan Soto is a left handed batter. And. He first up a bat was against Justin Verland, the future Hall of Famer. And he had a home run. He had a two, a two one homer. One of the home runs went to opposite field. Right. Justin Dominguez. Yeah. Opposite field home run. So for a guy for a left hand for a guy batting left.  He might be better left handed than right handed. So for him to hit an opposite field home run. That takes power. That takes power to hit opposite field. Then remember he stole home base. No, I didn't know that what he's got. He stole home. He's got good speed. Dominguez. I know Volpe is, is very good at stealing bases. He is. He did 20 over to over 20 storm bases and to over 20 and about 20 home runs 2020. I'll tell you something. If Brian Cashman ever trades Volpe in the next couple of years, he he he'll he'll get mugged as soon as he gets into his car in the Bronx. He'll regret it. He'll regret it. Volpe won. I think he won as golden glove. He won a golden glove. He won. Did he win rookie of the year? I'm not sure. That's a good question. Hold on. A L. Anthony Volpe. rookie of the year 2023. Hold on. Gunner Henderson of the Orioles. I remember that. The Orioles. Yeah. Gunner had a really good year. He was one of their top stars. And the Orioles were on fire for a while. But you know, Volpe, he's. Well, yeah, he's a rookie. I mean, he played. He played one season, but he wasn't. He wasn't in triple A for a long time. Really. I mean, he so his developmental period wasn't as long as it's normally required, but they took a chance on him because he was on fire in triple A. So they took a bit more. Give me a favorite. Yeah, he was, you know, I mean. He definitely. He definitely. Is very. He's very humble where he's open for advice.  I'm going to do it my way. You know what I mean? He's very open to advice. And he. And the older players like him. Like the older players trying to mentor him. Yeah. Sean Casey tried to work with him, the hitting coach. But Sean Casey resigned from being the New York Yankees hitting coach. So I hope they get a new hitting coach. I hope I hope that's a good one. Now, now, now another. Another man that's going to be starting with triple A. Who is the same size as Aaron judge is Spencer Jones. And Spencer Jones is a left handed six foot seven player. And he has power and he's doing very well in the farm team. And he's the. He hired the same private hitting coach that Aaron judge hired. Aaron judge uses like he uses an outside hitting coach. Oh, hitting instructor. Yeah, he pays for. For this other guy. They call the the teacher. He's a he's like a very well known. Fatting instructor. And Aaron judge doesn't use any of the, of the coaches on the Yankees. He's got private one and, and, and Spencer Jones hired him. So, you know, and not only that, another extremely talented young man with a very bright future. Austin Wells. Oh, yeah. The catcher catcher Austin Wells is in Tampa. He's not waiting until spring training. He's spending the winter at the Yankees.  Spring training headquarters. Right. He's there working on his performance. Which I think is very impressive. And I have to salute him for doing that. And I think others should do the same thing. Should follow suit. Yeah. Anthony Volpe should go down there. Spencer Jones.  Give a clinic or one solo could help out that. Yeah.  One solo is like the modern day Ted Williams. Rod Carew. He's a, he's a high batting average player. He, he hits for average, but he, he did hit 35 home runs for the Padres. So, you know, he's no slouch in the power department. And now that he's in, he'll be in Yankee stadium with the short porch. He, he might very well hit more. You never know. Then 35. You know what's going to be funny, James? Yeah. If the Los Angeles Dodgers shit the bed after spending a million dollars, no, a billion dollars on two players, 700 million on Otani and 375 million on the other Jap, the new Japanese. Oh, Yamamoto picture. Yeah. Now Yamamoto. Yamamoto. He's got, he's got elbow problems. He might, he might need surgery. Good. Yamamoto. And, and he's probably another one that throws too many fastball, but they spent all that money. So how much, how much usage are they going to get out of him for the 2024 season? The more important question James is how much of the game is the TV audience going to be able to view other than commercials to pay excessive commercials, to pay for the goddamn salaries. You watch a baseball game. Notice I just record them.  Right. Now I'm glad you brought that up. Now, um, that's not right James. Well, I'm going to start by, by saying that. Then they want the ballparks for free and tax free. What are they a church? Now the owners of these baseball franchises, major league baseball franchises, they always nag, they always nag the city. They always nag, they nag the city to build them a new stadium. They're never happy with the stadium that's there. They always bugging the taxpayers of the city. We might have to move. If you don't build us a new stadium, we're going to move. So they use the extortion. Yes. They threaten, they threaten the city government and the fans that they're going to move. If they don't get a new ballpark, but they don't want to pay for it, but they have $700 million to give to old Tony. Yeah. They have $700 million to, to, uh, sign people like old Tony up and this Yamamoto, but they don't have money for, for a new ballpark. I think all these homeless people living on the streets. Yeah. There's 50,000 homeless people in Los Angeles. That's a panel Tony, $700 million. Right. They, well Dodger Stadium is, is an old, is really an old park, but I don't think. So what? I don't think the owners, I don't think the owners should, should badger the taxpayers to build them a new stadium. Not if they have this kind of money to buy a player like old Tony and Yamamoto. Exactly.  You mean Brian Cashman, the manager? Well, aside from him, I'm going to, I'm going to talk about what happened to the Red Sox. The owners, I believe they have different owners and they, they hired a general manager that was justifiably fired Cham Bloom or they call him Hyam. Hyam Bloom. Oh boy. He was the chief. He was the cheapest motherfucker that you could hire for a general manager. He was worse. He's worse than, much worse than Cashman. Wow. Ever was. And he's the reason why Xavier Bogarts and Mookie Betts left the Red Sox because he didn't want to pay them. He didn't want to pay them what they, they felt they, they were entitled to their, their ages. So he didn't want to pay them. He didn't, he didn't get anybody. He didn't get any player worth their salt, you know, to like, to replace Bogarts and Betts. He just, he was so cheap that he just didn't get anybody of quality after they left Betts and Bogarts. So they fired them and they, the owners use Hyam Bloom as a scapegoat. Like, like the fault was a hundred percent blooms, but no, it is the owners that didn't want to put up the cash for Mookie Betts and Xavier Bogarts. So the cheap bastard owners didn't want to, didn't want to spend the money. And not only that, I heard that the tickets to go to Fenway Park are very expensive and the food is very expensive. But like, like they, they classify baseball teams and the Red Sox were, were always considered like, what do they, they ranked them like, they ranked them at the top, at the top, like the top American League teams in, in, in value because the Red Sox came alive in the, and they won, they won a few World Series and first with Terry Francona, who was a great manager. And now Alex Cora won a World Series, but you know, the reason why Alex Verdugo was so anxious to come to the Yankees is because he didn't get along with Cora. Verdugo booked heads with Cora and you know, Cora would get on his case, you know, kind of like what happened with Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson. He would book heads all the time. Yeah. You know, sometimes the chemistry doesn't work out, but Aaron Boone, he heard Aaron Boone is very kind and respectful and the players love him and they respect him. Yeah. He's not abusive or anything like that. But he, he, he's, he fights for his team. He's very, he's very firm. He gets tough when he has to. Yeah. But you remember when they were all scapegoating, you know, fire Aaron Boone right now. It's not Aaron Boone's fault. Is Aaron Boone out on the field like a play? Is he, is he playing every position on the field? Is he, is he at bat? No.  Hmm.   George, old man, George wouldn't tolerate Brian Cashman today.  Absolutely not. He's paying, he's paying super top dollar for everybody on that team. And George, he said in Tampa one time, old man Steinbrenner says, I'm paying a lot of money to have these players play for the Yankees. Right. And he has every right to say, what have you done for me lately? I don't care what you did in the past.   It's like having, it's like a college professor having tenure, having tenure or, or like when I was, when I was working with C4, I was in the Teamsters Union and I had this, this old man, we call them old man Vinny insignia. He was, he had, he, he was with the union for a long time.  He was getting very high amount per hour wage.  So he had, he had five paid what we call personal holidays where you can, you can take any old day or say, oh, I got to go to a wedding and just, and they had to give it to you. And he would take, and you get paid. So he would have that. He would have, but he didn't work.   You know, he, he, he milked it is what I'm trying to say. He moved, I told him there was a puddle out in the front. I said, before customers slip in and hurt. Could you please, while I'm taking care of these customers, could you please go out and mop that puddle. He went out for 20 minutes. He's going back and forth with the mop really slow.  Milk, milk, milk. Yeah, that's what he, yeah. But, oh, getting back to the jets, I guess, I guess the Hess family. Yeah. It's not the sole owners of the jets anymore, Rob. Woody Johnson. Woody Johnson. He's British, right? Johnson and Johnson wax, the family of wax products. I'm glad you mentioned Johnson and Johnson. I had a return to the Amazon return counter at Whole Foods Market. I returned Johnson and Johnson wax dental floss. I had ordered a pack of them. They made the dental floss thinner than thread. Wow. I don't need, I can't even feel the wax. Where's the wax? It's like, it was like thinner than thread. It used to be a nice. Yeah, that can cut your gums. Yeah. It used to be a nice thick. Yeah. Floss with the.  And you can feel the wax. Yeah. Nothing. Nothing, you know. And so I left a really bad review for them. And cause Amazon encourages people to leave reviews.  I said, you know what? I thought I was getting a high quality wax dental floss.  And they're the ones that got sued. Oh, enjoy. Enjoy. They're the ones that got sued for women getting. Look at the moment. Right there. Oh, it's a long on baklava. And honey.  See the pistachios? Oh, this green? See the green? It's pistachios also. They know what they're doing. Those people. Nothing like it, man. I always love Turkish food and Middle Eastern food. But anyway, Johnson and Johnson got sued for selling talcum powder where women got ovarian candy from the town. It was a big lawsuit from the talcum powder. So, you know, any company that does that doesn't surprise me if they're going to cut corners on dental floss. This is turning out to be a really good show. Thank you, Commodore, for coming. Yeah, because, you know, we really touched upon some important subjects. And maybe we can do a little food talk, you know, being that. But the judge going to get rid of friggin Aaron Rogers. Oh, he's going to come back. What is he? The Messiah?  Why does he have to come back? And what about the Giants? They need a transfusion, too. However, they got a nice Italian kid from New Jersey. What's he going about? Oh, yeah. He's young. He's, um... What's his name? Vittolo? Something like that. He's, uh... Call me Vittolo? They interviewed him and he's a very happy-go-lucky friendly, smiling. A very pleasant kid, you know, and, uh... And his parents, his mother and father, always come to the home games. He's probably a local kid. From New Jersey. Yeah, like, like, Vopey. Yeah, this is about 15 minutes away from, um, the Meadowlands. Oh, wow. But, um, you know, when the Giants had Bill Parcells as coach, Bill Parcells... Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum. Yeah, and, uh, Belichick was with the Giants originally. Bill Belichick. Yeah. And, um... Yeah? Yeah, so, uh... So was it Tom Landry? Tom Landry was with the Giants. Frank Gifford. Yeah, Tom Landry, yeah, for the, uh... the Dallas Cowboys. And Vince Lombardi? Giants. Yeah, Vince Lombardi was with the Giants. Yeah, he was a high school coach of, I think St. Cecilia's Catholic high school. And, uh, in northern New Jersey. And then Fordham University. We went to Fordham.  Green Bay Packers, they offered them the jobs. Yeah, the Fudge Packers. The Fudge Packers. Well, it's a team with a big G on the side of their helmet. Yeah. Hence Fudge Packers. Which is not as bad as that when you look at W on the side of the Washington... Washington Commanders. Commanders.  You know, maybe that means Commander in Chief or something. But they had the most, the ugliest low budget W. It looks like a stencil.  That was like a toy that I used to have. You put the colored pens in it. Remember the nice... Oh my God! Great memories! That's like, that's like if, if you took black electrical tape and you, and you, and you made letters with it. Yeah. It's like really low budget, you know. On the walnuts, on the walnuts and pistachios out of my teeth. You know, just like with the Cleveland, you have one or, you know what's good? They call it placers. Yeah. It's a plastic doohickey. Yeah, I got it. Oh, you got that. This one has like a floss. Maybe that's what I should order. I should get a couple of bags of those. Um, yeah. Oh, I want to announce that it's been... I really like that, that, um, the noodle will just keep it clean on this child, you know, this rated PG show. The noodle maker. Whoa! I want some noodles. Oh, the noodle maker. You mean from Thailand. Oh, the noodle maker. Oh, man. Oy vey. You must work faster. Yeah, that's what they told my, my grandmother and grandfather when they worked in the garment industry, the garment industry. You guys go faster. You must work faster as they rub their hands together. Yeah. I was reading about... The noodle maker in Thailand knows how to use the shake weight.  Yeah. The hot oil in my head. Hey, James. Oh, yeah. The polish there. Wax on. Wax off. Wax on. Well, I'll mention the names. We'll just say a certain establishment in Garfield, New Jersey. Yeah. Wax on. Wax off.  After all.  Then you could braid it and put red ribbons on the end. Whatever you want. Why are you used to wax on stuff? Oh, yeah. I've been, I've been, you know, I've been practicing the twirl with my, with my cold steel polypropylene. Like a Charlin Priest. Yeah. I was watching, uh, Matt Pestellini there, the martial arts guy about how to work with the dowel. He uses dowels. Yeah. How are you? 36, 36 inch dowel. He says you can use it as a walking stick and a bow staff. Yeah. And it's, uh, an inch and a quarter in diameter. Yeah. All right. He sands it nice and smooth. Then he oils it. He oils it. And, um, it's, uh, one is 18 inches, the short one. And the other one is 36 inches, which is a yard. All right. Mm hmm. Uh, and he shows you how devastating of a weapon the dowel can be. Yep. You know, and, and, and, and, uh, you can also, I bet you could put one of those rubber tips on the end. If you want, somebody wanted to use it as a, as a support cane. Yeah. But I like, I like what you got. The, um, the, um, the black thorn chilelli. Well, the long one I got. It's a cheap form of plastic surgery for, uh, a rhino, ostomy, whatever it is. Well, let me show you, I don't know, did I ever show you what I got from cold steel? No. Yeah. Hold on. Let me, let me get it really quick. It's, it's a high impact, probably propylene. And, uh, all right. I'm back. It's, it can, the YouTube video shows the guy shattering a cinder block on the floor. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's called the axe head. It's got a hook on it. Yeah. It's got the hook. It's got, it's got this. Oh. It's, I put, I put, I put that on the end. That's beautiful. I put that on the end. Got it from, but anyway, uh, yeah, I use it as a barbell with my, my power bands. Yeah. And it's beautiful. It's, it's like, I kept it long, uh, because it's the right height for me. If it was somebody else, they would have to cut the end, saw the end off. But yeah, it's, it's a very formidable weapon too.  That's for sure. Nope. That's for fricking easy.  I'm ready to go to the gym. You're ready to go to the gym and close up the shop.  One is called the, uh, shocking truth about eggs and, um, and heart disease, how egg yolks, the cholesterol and egg yolks do not cause heart disease and it is extremely high in nutritional value, the egg yolk. Especially all the B complex vitamins. Yeah. The essential fats and minerals, iron, they call eggs. Uh, if it's pasture raised chickens, they call it a super food. Yeah. But you want pasture raised.  Uh, because chickens are not vegans. Chickens are opportunistic, predatory, scavengers, they're everything. You know, delete life, food, delete everything. But anyway, uh, eggs. And the second one is for my, a friend of mine from mainland China, a very old friend. She, the poor woman has to get kidney dialysis. So the, the second video is about foods that can help repair damaged kidneys. Kidneys that have already uh, incurred damage. So that's all I'm going to do. I'm not going to do too many anymore. I'm going to, I'm going to keep the, the after hours after you leave, I'm going to keep it down to maybe one to two videos. And that's it.  I'm tired. I'm tired. You know, thank God I had, I had McFawn Raven with me. Oh, we got King of Dots from Cincinnati, Ohio. No cane do. No cane do. I get it. No cane do. I eat two eggs a day. I'm dangerous.  I, I eat eggs like every other day or every third day. And the other one, I have the organic oats and fiber. All animals are carnivorous. I've seen squirrels eat tree frogs like gum drops. You mean the squirrels sunk their buck teeth into a tree frog and started knowing on tree frogs? What's wrong with the tree frog? Don't they know how to like jump at it away? I like those videos you post of the bullfrogs or whatever from Asia. Oh, the farm. They eat other species. Oh, mice. Oh, the Asian, the Asian bullfrog probably gets scorpions and mice, everything rats and beetles. Even each other. They're snake. No, snake. Yeah, snake. They're cannibalistic too. They'll eat one. They'll eat another.  They will eat, including one another. So, bullfrogs, I mean, bullfrogs are not communal. It's every frog for himself or herself. So, the same thing with baby spiders, scorpions, once they're born, they're on their own. They got a skedaddle. They got a scatter because the mother, once they leave the mother's back, they're fair game, you know, they got a split.   And that's why the males are like puny compared to the females. Like the only function of the males with these primitive invertebrates, the only function is really is mating because they have a short lifespan. So, mating is their only function. Yeah. King of dots has squirrels and rabbits. So, they got it easy, James, because when you go to a nightclub, you don't just have the function of mating. No. You get the function of pain for college for other men's offspring. Oh, yeah. If you, if you meet an older woman who's divorced, a divorcee, a pastor friend, like my mother used to say, divorcee, a woman who has hit the wall that has young children and she's looking for a prefabricated instant new daddy because the father, it's not that the father is not, it's not that the father is not involved with the children, with his children's lives. It's that she uses the kids as a weapon keeps the children from seeing their father.  Now, as the father's playing child support, he has a right to see his kids. Yeah.  That you just met? Yeah, they got a lot of nerve, really. They are... What is your history? What did you do for a job? I just met you three seconds ago. And my question is, after they... Won't you rent? After a list of demands, I would say, well, what do you bring to the table? I don't. What do you bring to the table? Oh, your middle age? Okay. Oh, you have one or two young children still? They're still minors. Okay. That's a strike number two. Yeah. What do you bring to the table? All right. King of dots. Squirrels and rabbits must eat their droppings to get enough nutrition to survive fact. Wow. That's what they are most mostly digging in for in your yard. Well, yeah, but what about all the lush green grass that rabbits, you know, and the weeds and everything? What about all the greens that they eat? You know, there's a lot of nutrition in green leafy plants. Why would they want to eat their own turds? Squirrels, squirrels cause trouble. Yeah. But James, not to be cynical, but why would we want it? Why would humans want to eat Monsanto's GMOs? I'd rather eat not to be gross. I'd rather eat an organic rabbit turd than a genetically modified food from Monsanto that's going to give me cancer. Yeah. Monsanto roundup pesticide is the reason why our At least the rabbit poop came from grass or something. The reason why our pollinators, the bees that are extremely important are vanishing. They feel that it is the Monsanto roundup pesticide. Now, King Adod says he's paying for every electric car sold $40,000 in total subsidies. That's tyranny. Why, first of all, why is any big business receiving subsidies? Political payback because they donated to the DNC. They do the same up here in Canada. The same thing. So that's what happens when you get the big mamoo from the fat cat. It doesn't matter what political party you're from. Whoever you pay back, you're friends. So you owe, you owe favors. So yeah. They're in your back pocket. You're compromised. At least Christ the corporation, when they bailed out, was it Christ? Yeah. When they bailed out. He paid the government back. Yeah. Jimmy Carter. I can't wait till Jimmy Carter kicks a bucket either.   He was like a mama Luke. He was like a Mamby Pamby. Mamby Pamby. Anyways, I know my friend. It's six or four. I'm going to go to the gym. I am. I'm going to. I'm going to blow the boss's whistle to say so long. So long like a John Holmes. So long. Okay. Here we go. Thank you for. Joining me. All right. That was the Commodore Jeff Sanbello. You talking about school school. We ask a little way rabbits. Silly rabbit grasses for kids. You know, Elmer Fudd says. Keep very, very, very quiet. I'm hunting rabbit. That Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He's a. He's corrupt.   And he went to Epstein's. Infamous resort. Bear. Bear bought Monsanto. Yikes. You have to have an idealist with no ideals. Well, you have to have ideals before you can be an idealist. You have to have a plan. If you don't have a game plan. Then don't make. Don't make any idealistic statements. Unless you have a game plan. Because that's the second question people are going to have. They're going to say, well, what is your, what is your take on this topic? And then they'll say, well, what is your plan? You know. All I know is. Sleepy Joe Biden. That I hear wears depends. He better.  If he wants to survive. In the. In the. 2024 election. You better do things like. Student loan forgiveness. Health care reform. You know, single payer Medicare for all. Stack the Supreme court with. Many progressives. You know, especially after. Mitch McConnell helped Donald Trump. Get those. A couple of right wingers into the Supreme court. Without going through the proper process of doing so. You know. You better. Okay, now. I'm going to play those two. Let's see. Okay. This one is is the one about eggs. That will.  And heart disease that you may not know. Welcome back to Vitality Solutions. The go to channel for unlocking the secrets to a healthier and more vibrant life. Today we are about to dive into a topic that will leave you astounded. Have you ever wondered about the relationship between eggs and heart disease? Well, buckle up because we're about to unveil some shocking truths that might just reshape your perspective. For decades, the egg debate has left us in a whirlwind of confusion. Are they good or bad for your heart? Do they spike cholesterol levels? It's time to clear the air. In today's video, we're unraveling the truth about eggs and heart disease. Research on eggs. In 1961, Ansel Keys popularized the idea that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol were the main contributors to heart disease. Despite emerging evidence challenging this narrative, it became the prevailing belief. Fast forward to today, and the conversation has taken a turn. Now, numerous doctors and scientists are questioning whether cholesterol and saturated fats are the true villains behind heart disease. In the well-known 2004 Rotterdam study, researchers discovered lower heart disease rates in those who consumed more eggs, cheese, butter, and liver, traditionally labeled as bad cholesterol foods. Surprisingly, these foods have shown potential in reducing heart calcification. Consider the French paradox where a population indulges in butter and high-fat cheese yet experiences low heart disease levels. Astonishingly, only 50% of heart attack victims exhibit elevated cholesterol levels, implying that the other half falls within the recommended range. Intriguingly, some evidence even suggests that those with higher cholesterol might live longer. A 1992 study by American scientists found that low cholesterol was linked to increased mortality from gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. This study followed over 100,000 healthy individuals for 15 years, revealing that those with low cholesterol were hospitalized more frequently due to infectious diseases. So, as we dive into the complex relationship between cholesterol, saturated fats, and heart health, it's essential to question the traditional narrative. The evidence suggests a more nuanced perspective, challenging long-held beliefs and prompting us to rethink what we know about heart disease risks. Similarly, a 2007 meta-analysis of 23 studies published in the BMJ discovered a concerning link, patients with low concentrations of LDL cholesterol, reduced by statin use, face a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer compared to those with higher cholesterol levels. This underscores the notion that maintaining low cholesterol isn't necessarily the best approach, there's more to consider. Now, while cholesterol itself may not be inherently harmful, problems arise when cholesterol becomes damaged or oxidized. Oxidation occurs when cholesterol particles encounter free radicals, unstable molecules generated by factors like smoking and toxic foods. This process disrupts cellular function, triggers inflammation, and contributes to various diseases. Oxidized particles are more prone to accumulate, damaging artery walls and causing plaque deposits that narrow and stiffen arteries, ultimately leading to atherosclerosis. Instead of merely focusing on cholesterol levels, we should prioritize cholesterol quality. Now, let's explore how eggs fit into this narrative. In a trial published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that consuming three eggs per day actually improved the quality of cholesterol in overweight subjects. The researchers recruited 28 overweight or obese men following a carbohydrate-restricted diet, with 50% of them also consuming three eggs daily. Both groups reduced their risk of metabolic syndrome due to carbohydrate restriction. However, the egg group additionally increased their levels of HDL cholesterol, known as good cholesterol. HDL plays a crucial role in transporting excess cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver, maintaining the body's harmony. Now, you might be wondering, what makes eggs so beneficial, and are there any caveats? Eggs can be described as a complete food, offering a comprehensive nutrient profile with essential vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. One of their notable benefits is their high-quality protein content, containing all nine essential amino acids crucial for muscle growth, tissue repair, and immune function. Nutrients from eggs? Eggs stand out as an exceptional source of healthy fats, encompassing both mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats crucial for brain function, hormone production, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Furthermore, eggs boast omega-3 fatty acids, renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties, support for brain function, and reduction of heart disease risk. The nutritional profile doesn't stop there. Eggs are a rich source of vitamins A, D, E, K, and B vitamins, contributing to healthy vision, strong bones, and proper nerve function. They also pack a punch with essential minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, crucial for red blood cell production and immune health. As if this wasn't impressive enough, eggs emerge as one of the best natural sources of choline. Choline plays a vital role in cell membrane formation, making it particularly crucial during pregnancy for fetal brain development and preventing neural tube defects. Choline deficiency has been linked to issues such as fatty liver disease, kidney and pancreas problems, muscle deterioration, elevated homocysteine levels, and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Consuming eggs is an effective strategy to ensure sufficient choline intake and prevent deficiency. Moreover, eggs come armed with special antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, actively promoting eye health by safeguarding against macular degeneration and cataracts. This extensive nutrient profile in a single food item makes eggs an extraordinary addition to a balanced diet, providing a plethora of health benefits. Where is a good source for eggs? Finally, eggs boast a low glycemic index, ensuring they don't cause a spike in blood sugar levels, a crucial factor in diabetes management and overall heart health. When deciding what to eat, it's crucial to consider not just the type of food but also how it's produced. For example, eggs from pasture-raised and free-range hens are higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin E, and other essential nutrients compared to eggs from caged hens. Pasture-raised hens, able to roam freely, forage for diverse foods and engage in natural behaviors, produce eggs of superior quality and greater nutritional benefits. Conversely, caged hens, confined and fed commercial chicken feed lack the same quality. I'm frustrated and this is not what I signed up for.  I'm not choosing not to participate. I got in this to help people get well. That's not what I'm seeing in the health care system. Why don't doctors tell you to take something as simple as magnesium instead of a stool softener? Knowing that the stool softener dehydrates your bowels, why don't doctors tell you to take D3 in the winter because you can't get it from the sun? And it radically improves the immune system and impacts your sleep. Why don't doctors tell you to change your diet? Why don't doctors tell you to focus on herbs or certain foods to heal?  Imagine a human locked in a cage, unable to eat real food or move, an environment unlikely to produce healthy offspring. The same principle applies to the eggs we consume. In 2019, a study examined how the body responds to food from animals raised under different conditions, revealing significant differences in health markers. For instance, eating caged eggs with minimal omega-3 may increase inflammatory markers. On the flip side, consuming pasture-raised eggs, rich in omega-3, may actually reduce inflammatory markers. You might be wondering, does it truly make that much of a difference? The resounding answer is yes. The research highlights the impact of the egg's origin on crucial health markers, emphasizing the importance of mindful food choices for optimal well-being. Researchers have firmly concluded that the way animals are raised significantly impacts the health effects on humans consuming their products. This underscores a crucial point. It's not merely a question of whether eggs are good or bad, rather, it boils down to the quality of the eggs you choose. Opting for pasture-raised and free-range eggs can decisively tip the odds in your favour. Similar trends extend to various foods. Grass-fed beef, for instance, boasts higher levels of healthy fats and lower inflammation-causing compounds compared to grain or soy-fed beef. Similarly, wild-caught fish tends to be healthier than farmed fish, often treated with antibiotics and raised in crowded conditions. Different diets and living environments result in wild-caught fish having a superior nutrient profile and fewer potential health risks. Polyunsaturated oils like soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, and cottonseed oil are particularly prone to oxidation due to their chemical structure leading to inflammation and an increased risk of chronic diseases. To minimize oxidation, it's recommended to cook eggs using methods that don't require oils such as poaching or boiling. Alternatively, consider using heat-stable oils like coconut oil, which exhibits higher resistance to oxidation. Coconut oil can withstand high heat without breaking down or emitting toxic byproducts, making it a healthy and stable cooking choice. Moreover, coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides, metabolized differently in the body, offering various health benefits. In conclusion, the long-standing belief that eggs are detrimental to heart health has been robustly challenged by extensive research. Studies consistently indicate that dietary cholesterol and saturated fat are not the primary culprits of heart disease. Instead, oxidation and inflammation take the spotlight. Eggs, when chosen wisely, emerge as a safe and nutrient-dense food. They provide high-quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to overall well-being. Thank you for joining us on this eye-opening journey through the shocking truths about eggs and heart disease. If you- Heartbeat. Could be so. Let's talk about the superfoods that are the- Okay. Now, the last topic for this week's show, Ballistic Health Talk Show, has to do with foods that are helpful in repairing damaged kidneys, I believe. Okay. And this is dedicated to an old, long-time friend from mainland China, Tian Mei. Let's talk about the superfoods that are the best foods for the kidneys. Now, I'm not talking about preventing a kidney problem. I'm talking about if you already have kidney damage. So let's say you have this chronic kidney disease. What do you eat? That's what I want to talk about. Now, the kidney is composed of these tiny little things called nephrons, okay? Not neurons, nephrons. And a nephron is a super sophisticated, complex little filter that doesn't just filter. It regulates a lot of things in your blood. So it does filter waste, but it recycles a lot of electrolytes and hormones and minerals and vitamins and protein. So when you end up damaging these filters, you're going to have to really shift what you eat because now you're going to have a buildup of phosphorus, potassium, sodium, with deficiencies of other nutrients as well. So you can't just eat the same thing you've been eating. I highly recommend you don't go out to dinner. You actually make your own foods and try to make these foods as whole as possible. I would not consume anything refined. And also you need to understand the number one cause of kidney damage comes from having diabetes, which is a high sugar situation. So you're going to have to cut the sugar right out. And also those things that create more damage than sugar that act like sugar like the starches and talking about multidextrin, talking about the modified food starch and modified corn starch, things that are really ultra refined. So no more eating anything out of a box or a can or any quick junk foods.  There are other things that can destroy the kidney as well. Drugs, medications, alcohol, especially pain medication, smoking, junk food, ultra processed foods. And that's a combination of like the seed oils, the corn oil, the soy oil, the cottonseed oil, the canola. You need to just get rid of those. So let's start with protein. What type of protein should you consume? Because you don't want to do a lot of protein. You want to do a moderate to slightly lower amounts of protein. And you really want to think with your protein because most proteins have high amounts of phosphorus. So we don't want to overload the kidney with too much of that. And by the way, when you're doing this, always work with your doctor because they're going to be monitoring your levels of these nutrients to make sure that they're in check. But I want to give you some other things to think with that you're not going to find usually when doing the searches on the internet. So let's start out with the lower phosphorus proteins. Because that is the problem with a lot of fish. It's high in mercury and mercury also can cause an autoimmune disease with the kidney. And the most mercury exposure is probably from fish. But fish also has selenium or at least certain types of fish like sardines and salmon. But both of those are a bit higher in phosphorus. I would just consume them not as often as the other ones, but definitely on a regular basis. And I think out of all the fish that are the lowest in phosphorus, it's the cod fish as well as the sea bass. But I would avoid turkey, liver, like beef liver or any type of liver because that's going to be high in phosphorus. Egg yolks and nuts. Now, nuts also are loaded with this other thing called phosphates, which also can irritate the kidney and block certain nutrients that the kidneys need like zinc and other minerals. So it's going to make it more difficult to get the nutrients that you need. So when we're talking about the kidneys, we're talking about consuming foods that have the lowest amount of toxicity. And I'm not just talking about the chemicals in the food, which are the obvious things. And the GMOs and the conventional foods. But I'm also talking about the toxicity of other things in food like oxalates. So especially if you have kidney damage can really tear up the kidneys. So you want to avoid things like almonds, spinach and chocolate. Those are three big ones loaded with oxalates and oxalates can increase inflammation of the kidneys. And we also have other things in certain foods like tannins. Like I wouldn't consume black tea, but green tea is low in tannins. So that would be fine. There's also this thing called lectins, right? Now, I believe that lectins are not a problem unless you have, you know, gut damage or liver damage or kidney damage, or especially intestinal damage. But when you have kidney damage, probably want to eat certain things that are lower in lectins. Now, this relates to vegetables. Okay. Now, the other problem with vegetables is that we have the oxalates, and we also have their level of potassium, maybe magnesium. We don't want it to be super high. So what vegetables would be very safe to consume for someone with kidney disease? Well, number one, asparagus. Asparagus will also decrease the load of this waste, like uric acid waste, ammonia, and celery is another one that can actually decrease the uric acid, and that's also low in these other nutrients that I just mentioned. Another one that's safe would be lettuce. I'm not talking about Swiss chard or the beet greens. Those are high in oxalates, okay? So you probably want to avoid those. So we have asparagus, celery, lettuce, avocado, cucumber, garlic, cat... Most people have no clue that in 2023 the best way to make money on Amazon is not with physical products. It's Amazon's other company, Audible. Audible pays me $8,000 to $10,000 every single month in passive income, and I'm not the only one. People like Katrina. Cabbage, cauliflower, and mushrooms, even though a mushroom is not a vegetable. And they also create it like more of an alkaline effect. So if there's a bit more acidity that builds up, these will help neutralize that. The ones that you should probably avoid, because they're high in lectins, would be the eggplant, the potatoes, the beans, the grains, and like I said before, the nuts. So if you focus on the list of vegetables that are on the okay list, you'll also get a lot of antioxidants, and that's going to prevent a lot of the free radical damage that's going on in the kidneys. Another really good food to consume for advanced kidney problems would be spirulina. It's a type of algae that seems to be very good for advanced-age kidney problems. It has a lot of things. It has vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients and chlorophyll. And spirulina can actually decrease the kidney burden of its toxins, so it helps to reduce the toxicity of your urine. At the same time, helping you with anemia, which is one side effect of having kidney problems, as well as help balance the fluid retention that you see with kidney problems as well. And one additional thing I want to mention that damages the kidney is CAT scans of the kidney itself. Very unfortunately, I had to have two CAT scans or maybe three of my kidneys for various reasons, but I hadn't had it done, but the problem is that that's a lot of radiation put into your kidneys, which potentially can damage the kidneys themselves. So if you have a choice between a CAT scan or an ultrasound or a CAT scan in an MRI, choose the ultrasound or the MRI, but not the CAT scan, unless you absolutely need it. Now, another really good food for the kidney to decrease the toxicity is fermented foods, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, really good for the kidneys. Make sure you get the sauerkraut, the kimchi in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, so it's raw. Also, avocados have a really interesting type of fat that's really good for the kidneys and the liver. And also that fat can help extract phytonutrients that are more fat soluble in your salad with the next thing on the list, which is extra virgin olive oil, another really good oil for the kidney. It's anti-inflammatory, it's loaded with phytonutrients, vitamin E, virtually no phosphorus. Now, as far as hard cheeses, they're high in phosphorus, but cottage cheese, make sure it's organic because they add this modified food starch in commercial cottage cheese. So get the one that's organic and also goat's cheese is another one that you can consume as well. That way you can get your calcium, but it comes from a food. So we want these foods that are good for the kidneys, that provide the right amount of nutrition, but not too much. I would recommend getting your nutrients from the food and not from supplementation, except for vitamin D because it's going to be really hard to get your vitamin D, and vitamin D is going to be very important for your kidneys because also realize that it's the kidneys that helps convert the inactive to the active vitamin D. And the liver does some of that too. But the kidneys are very, very important. So if those kidneys are damaged, you're going to have low vitamin D. Now, another mineral that you have to watch out for is too much sodium. And the problem with even sea salt, it has all the minerals, but it's a bit high in sodium. It's like 98% sodium. So there's another type of salt that's really good for people with kidney problems. It's called Baja Gold, which is a type of salt that is like 70% sodium chloride and the rest other minerals. So that would be a much better salt for people with kidney problems. Keep it simple. Follow this food list. I know it's boring, but I think it's going to extend your life. Try to make sure those ingredients are the highest quality, like organic, grass-fed, nothing out of a box or a can. These are the foods not to prevent a kidney problem. They're foods that if you have a kidney problem, you should focus more on. If you want to know what foods that can actually be more preventative, I'd go to DrBurg.com and download my basic... Okay. I'll wrap it up for Holistic Health Talk. Thank you very much for joining me, everyone, and have a safe and healthy upcoming week. Okay. This is the first show of 2024. That's right. I hope everyone's new year is off to a great start. And I hope it's definitely a better year than 2023. And knock on wood. Good luck with November 2024 and the most important election that I can think of. Extremely important for democracy, the survival of democracy. So anyway, have a good one, enjoy, and be safe.


Welcome to Toffy TV, I am joined by Andy Gray. What a man, what a man. Pleasure to be, this way back. It's great to see you. I mean listen, we watch it every week on Being Sport. It's the only bit of proper pun that we get, by the way. But anyway, enough of that. Alas, you're about to be here in a minute. No, no, no. We're here for the Howard's Way film. How important in your opinion was it to make this film about that era? Well, when Rob Sloman, who produced the video and made it, came to me about five or six years ago, it must have been. And we chatted about this and he said, you know, I'm an evertonian and I'm really disappointed that you guys, that team in Howard. And his opinion, Rob's opinion, never got the credit they deserve for what it achieved. And I thought, wow, you know, I'd never really thought about it before. But when he said that, I thought, you know what, he's maybe right, because I don't think that side didn't. But more importantly, I don't think Howard did.  That wasn't a surprise me enough. So you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Here, maybe in this area, they wouldn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you went to London, for instance, and said to a load of supporters, name me six great English managers. And they'd go Terry Venable, Bobby Robson, you know. Harry Redman. People in there. And you'd think, well then, wouldn't it? And know how it can do? Come on. Yeah. So I think it's a terrific tribute to Howard from Rob and great work that he's done. I can't wait to see it. I've stayed away from it deliberately because I didn't want to see any of it until tonight. I'm so looking forward to seeing it. And I know Rob's a pro, and it will be a fitting tribute for Howard, I think. It's great for us to be here as players. But for me, it's more important that we honour the memory of Howard, and we can say he did that. What do you think that team, because they were as fans? You write as supporters. Apart from Evitonians, the team does fall through the cracks. I don't know why. Willeredd, and now we have a Willeredd team. But Willeredd gets spoken about. Forrest right, he's only gone to European cups, but we want to see leagues, Liverpool gets spoken about. And Arsenal after it. And it's almost like that middle bit's been forgotten by a lot of people, not by us. But what do you think that team, because of other events, do you think that team would have gone on to achieve more? Because they don't doubt that we broke up because of what happened? Yeah, the band was unfortunate. And it's nothing that we could do about that. We were the victims of the band, like every English team. No Europe for five years. At a time, when Everton arguably, I'm always going to say it was the best side ever. But I understand the Harvey Kendrick ball side. The Wonder League in the 60s was an amazing football side. But it didn't win a European trophy. I think Everton had the opportunity in the mid 80s, from 85 to 90, of competing in Europe. I think it would have won a European cup. I do. I might be biased. Don't mind that on this one. No, but I might be biased, but I do. I thought the year we won the cup winners cup, when we beat an amazing band on the next side. I mean, amazing side. And we blew them away, and that was our first year in Europe. So can you imagine how much better we would have been the next season? Going into the European cup with the additions that Howard was going to make that summer. What we'd have made is even better. And I do believe that we would have won a European cup. And it is sad that Everton never had the chance to do so, having won the title twice in the late 80s. And really got nothing for it. But you know, it's all hypothetical now. I can believe that. Others might say, no, you wouldn't have done it. But I know what kind of team we had. I played in it. And it was made to win things. Definitely. I mean, as a fan, I think we would have starved for this one. So we would have won. And you personally, if well exactly. But if that band wouldn't have come. I mean, do you think you would have stayed at Everton because we did the being more games? Probably. You know, how? Well, it would have been too good an opportunity to miss. To play in a European cup campaign. I think it would have been difficult to walk away from that. 100%. 100% difficult. You know, even though Gary came in. I still think that having been part of the team that got us the title. And got us into the European cup. Had we been there, it would have been much more difficult to walk away. 100%. Do you regret walking away? Cos I think we could have done with you in that 86s. Definitely. Even though hindsight's a wonderful thing. Yeah, of course. And they say you should never go back. And I think I've either taken more time to think about it. To absorb what Howard had said to me. I think I would have stayed. I think I would have stayed. Because going back to Mila, as I did 10 years after I joined them before. It's never the same. It's a bit like Wayne coming back here. Not quite the same. And it wasn't quite the same. No. You remember him as a teenager marodding a prudifedd. Smashing smoke in. And he comes back as a 30-year-old. And it's not the same. And I did that with Mila. But I was so upset. And I was so disappointed when Howard said he was going to sign Gary. And that I wouldn't be playing it at the beginning of the season. But I sure had just said, you know what, that's fine. Cos I had to sit and watch Incheon in Chappy. For a load of games at the beginning. The championship in the season. When they were the best two in the country. So I had to sit and watch that. And absorb that and got my chance. And when Incheon got injured, we went on and did what we did. So hindsight, probably yes, I wish I had stayed. But it's an easy decision now. It's done now. It's an easy decision now. What are you making this film? What's it like being back with all the lads again? Fantastic. Most, a lot of them I obviously stay in contact with anyway. And still see when I come back to the UK. But a lot of the guys I've not seen. And for a long time. Probably since Howard's funeral. Gary Stevens I haven't seen for God knows how long. Gary lived in Australia. He's not as like a good pop round for a cup of tea is it? So people like that. I see Trevor seeming a lot. Trevor comes over to live in Dubai. He's been a regular on being in sports for us. So I've seen a lot of Trevor. I've seen a lot of Radio Sharpie. And Gary I see quite a bit of Pat. I've seen a bit of. So I've seen a lot of the guys. But there's a lot of the guys I haven't seen for a long time. And it'd be great to catch up with them. And finally I suppose that the one sad note is that this wasn't done while Howard was still alive. Cos I think it would have been an unbelievable tribute. Well it still is. But obviously it would have been able to see it as well. Is that a big thing that you just think is sad? So 100% I wish he was sitting here with us now. Because the place would be buzzing. You know what he was like. I mean he was just a character. Great character. A lovely man. Top coach. Yes a pity he's not sitting watching with us. But he'll be watching it. He will be watching it. And as I've said before it's massive. I'm so pleased that I could be here for Howard. To pay my respects. And to acknowledge what he did for me. As much as everyone in the lads in for this club. It's something that well I'm trying to sit here and say it. I don't want to say it because you know being in Evertonian and the place where we are now. But I'm wondering if I'll ever see the likes again. That's what I'm saying. It's a long way away. And that's the shame as well. But it would be great if he was here to take a bow and say thank you. But he's not. We'll do it for him. I want to ask you about where you are. But we'll be here all night. And the big thanks. Thanks for talking to us.


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Scott Hepburn, Bjorn Andre, and Jeff Wilkes. Coming up on DTNS, the U.S. CHIPS Act restricts what companies can do in China. Samsung and iFixit launched their repair program, and the Open Risk 5 chip instruction set might be bad news for ARM. John C. Dvorak is here to tell us why. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And we welcome technology and sub-stack columnist, co-host of No Agenda Show and D.H. Unplugged. Mr. John C. Dvorak, welcome back. Hello. Good to see you, Tom. You look good. Oh, thanks. You too. You know, your background there. You got a lot of junk. You maybe should clean out the place. You know, people keep telling me that, but I like it. You know, I can spot you have the Oxford English Dictionary Compact Edition, which comes with a magnifying glass. And I need that at my advanced age. Well, if we need it, though, I could pull it out at any time. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Uber turned a corner at seemingly just the right time, reporting positive free cash flow last quarter. That means it can fund itself and not worry about running out of cash. Free cash flow rates into account operating and capital expenses, but not non-cash things like share-based compensation and changes in the value of Uber's investments. They have some investments in Zomato, Aurora, Grace, et cetera. Once you take all that into account, given the state of the stock market, Uber lost a dollar 33 cents a share, but it's gross bookings. The actual business that it conducts on its platform, like rides and subscriptions and deliveries, that all rose 33% on the year. So the actual business itself isn't doing bad. That was led by ride-hailing, which rose 120% on the year, while food delivery slowed to 7% growth, though food delivery still brings in the most money for Uber. Logitech announced a partnership with Tencent Games to launch a dedicated cloud gaming handheld later this year. The device will support Xbox cloud gaming and NVIDIA's GeForce Now game streaming service, no word on price or specific release date. Wi-Fi 7, which you can put in your brain as 802.11 BE, could start showing up in laptops within two years. Intel's vice president of wireless solutions, Eric McLaughlin, told a conference in Asia, quote, we are currently developing Intel's Wi-Fi 802.11 BE in order to obtain the Wi-Fi Alliance certification, and it will be installed in PC products such as laptops by 2024. We expect it to appear in major markets in 2025. If you're wondering, Wi-Fi 7 is going to double your bandwidth, double your speed over Wi-Fi 6, and promises to improve stability in the 6 gigahertz spectrum. Insta360 announced a new 4K webcam with a three axis gimbal, the Insta360 link. It uses a half inch sensor and physically pans and zooms the camera to keep a user's face in frame. Also supports gesture control for zooming, offers a desk view mode to point the camera down for overhead content, and it can go into portrait mode for vertical video and you can get it for 300 bucks. Finally, Xiaomi announced the Mijia glasses camera, a pair of smart glasses with a single Google Glass style micro OLED display on the right eye and two cameras, a 50 megapixel main shooter and an eight megapixel periscope zoom. Xiaomi says the display can be used for real time translation and AR effects, something Google Glass doesn't do. Other features will be added in future updates. The Mijia glasses use a Qualcomm snap dragon chipset with three gigabytes of RAM pre-orders start August 3rd for $2,499 yuan. That's about $370 US. All right, John, let's talk about Samsung's repair program. Have you heard much about this? Yeah, something that I mean, ever since the days of Word Star when licensing came around, these guys, all these companies think that they own their products, you know, even when you have them because you're just licensing the product, when in fact, you bought it and you should be able to fix it and that you have to have legislation so you can now fix it. This is a part of that fix it legislation. Yeah, this is a response to that. Samsung announced this program back in March. It's fairly limited. If you own a Galaxy S20 and S21, a Tab S7 Plus, you can buy official Samsung replacement parts and access guides on how to how to do certain types of repairs. So your phone may not be on that list, for instance, the S22. The flagship is not on there. Yeah. Samsung plans to add more parts and support more repairs going forward. No word on when or if that will happen. One of the things you can't do is just replace the battery. You have to replace the entire display if you want to get a battery. But for now, what you will get are parts, tools and guides to fix your screen, like I just said, back glass and your charging port. Well, the screen is the big deal because people break the screen. The next thing you know, they had to buy a whole new phone. The battery thing, I mean, the phone makers could have the early I have a Galaxy, an old one, like the original. I think the one and the back comes right off. It snaps right off and put the battery, put new battery in. But they seal those batteries in. There is another way of getting people to buy more cameras. Yeah, I'm trying more phones. Cameras is what they use them for. It gives you it gives it's easier from to do water tight and dust tight. And it's easier for them to make you buy a new phone. So it's yeah, I guess if you do drop in the toilet, like people do. Got it made. If you want to get any of these parts, you can get them through iFixit or you can go to Samsung service locations, retail locations. Samsung is also providing a return label. If you do the display replacement, so you can send back your old display for recycling. And as I mentioned, that display assembly does include a battery. So even if your display is fine, if you're really in a pinch, you could plop down for a whole display assembly and at least get a new battery. Samsung says the prices are the same that repair shops pay. So for example, for an S20 display assembly is 200 bucks, back glasses, 70 bucks, charging port is 60 bucks. And this is an iFixit's first partnership. In fact, they have partnered with Google and Valve on repair programs as well. And Apple has its own. They haven't partnered with anybody because they're Apple, but they have their own DIY repair program where you can order parts for them. It is becoming the norm, though, for these big companies to at least do this much. I congratulate them. Yes, Pat, that themselves on the back. Roger, I know you you're interested in this, particularly for your own phones. I think it's a good sign that, you know, I don't I don't see this as being a big, a big thing for for the larger consumer population. But it is a good sign to recognize that there are people, or at least customers, who do want to go through the the hassle of, you know, fixing it themselves. And it's at least a nod that it is something important.  This is probably something that's probably going to be attempted by probably by less than 10 percent of users. But, you know, it's still a good step. Ideally, I would I would like a device that's consciously designed in a way that allows it to be separated into pieces and put back together with with the with the the mini the minimum amount of lute swearing as you jab your thumb with the jeweler screwdriver again. But no, it's a it's a good step. You know, it's best for is I fix it. I fix it doesn't lose it all here. They get direct supply of parts. They can also still sell third party parts so that you can actually repair more things on a Samsung phone through iFix that then you can through this official repair program because iFix it's also like, well, if you want to repair a battery, we can sell you some of those. They don't have it for the S 22 yet. Not sure why, but there's other ways of doing it with iFix it. And then they get to offer this like, well, if you really want like certified parts from the manufacturer, you can get that through us now, too. And let no one under be any disillusioned. This isn't a product of some sort of forward, you know, egalitarian thinking. It's probably like, hey, we want to stave off potential, even more potential legislation that really puts us on. No, it was altruistic, Roger, the looming thread of legislation had had I'm sure had zero effect. That'll be the day. Speaking of legislation, let's talk about US President Biden expecting to sign the Chips and Science Act of 2022. May have signed it by the time you listen to this. We covered the details of the act itself on Friday. The short version, if you missed that, is it's going to authorize the United States government to spend 280 billion dollars on research and development over the next five years, 39 billion of that is going to go directly to subsidize semiconductor manufacturing. 11 billion goes to chip plants, research and workforce training and another 2 billion for making older chips used in automotive and military applications. It's not a ton of money going to semiconductor manufacturing in the grand scheme of things, but the chip companies are excited by it. Nonetheless, TSMC is committed to spend 12 billion on plants in Arizona. Samsung said it's going to spend 17 billion in Texas. SK Heinecks announced 15 billion dollars coming to the US and investment. Although they haven't given any plans on where Intel and Micron to US companies also planning to take advantage of the subsidies. But there are strings attached. Both Bloomberg and Nikkei Asia noticed a clause in the final version that passed the House that says that a company that accepts a subsidy agrees not to make a significant transaction that would materially expand its semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the People's Republic of China called out specifically or any other foreign country of concern for the next 10 years. China is already on that list of countries of concern alongside Russia, North Korea and Iran. Companies would be allowed an exception to protect existing business interests or expansions that serve that country of concerns market for legacy semiconductors. So if you're making and that's defined as 28 nanometer process semiconductors or older, you can spend some money expanding your plant there, especially if you're making chips for the Chinese market. But not anything newer. Most of these companies don't make anything newer in China. TSMC makes a 16 nanometer process in Nanjing, but most of the potential subsidy recipients wouldn't be affected. So John, there's a race on China says it aims to source 70 percent of its chips from its own domestic companies by 2025. Bloomberg estimates the China's premier chip company, SMC, though, is about six years behind TSMC and advanced chip making equipment from companies like ASML and the Netherlands are being restricted by US export rules. So it might be tough for China to catch up.  I don't know how tough it's going to be. They've caught up to everything else. This, by the way, I think the word that you read in there about the money going to China, you do. I think they dropped in the word significant. And I think is that defined in the bill? I don't think so. I read not to make a significant transaction. Yeah, it's significant for the semiconductor industry is in the billions. I mean, it's a significant would be half the bill. I don't know what what they're trying to do here. But a lot of the R&D money, I don't know. You know, a lot of that's going to green stuff. And I just don't feel sorry for the semiconductor industry. I mean, Intel generally just itself and it's not even the first, second, third, fourth, I think it's like the fifth or sixth biggest chip company now with TSMC being number one and surprisingly Nvidia being number two. They do usually about $80 billion a year. I think they've dropped off quite a bit because of the pandemic or something happened. And this is a lot of money that they're just plowing through. And now they're whining about the fact that they've outsourced all their stuff overseas to these fabs that are just doing a better job in terms of what it costs to make a chip. Intel does have a fab. They're going to start there. What is Intel fab systems? The IFS or IFB or something that's not IFB. And I think they're trying to get into the fab. And I think they're just looking for the government to give them a little little extra money, free money is the way I see it. I'm not I'm not as jacked up about this chip's bill as everybody else is. I just don't see these guys needing that much help from the government. They can do it themselves. They know how to do it. They're smart. Some of the smartest guys in the world. I did a quick search on the bill. The significant transaction is defined in your agreement with the secretary. So when you sign your agreement to get the subsidy, that's when they agree on what a significant transaction is. It could be different for for different companies. And it's well, I know Intel, the CEO of Intel is out yacking about how you know, they were going to move their facilities or their manufacturing to Europe. Yep. And it just seems to me that what is Europe? I mean, Europe, which is I don't see why why why we moved any of our fabs out of the United States, because this is all protected stuff. It's dangerous for the national security for these chips to get out and show up in Russian airplanes, for example. It's just always this whole thing, this loss of the industry in the United States has always baffled me. And it happened pretty much overnight. It started happening, but it snuck up on you. Next thing you know, I think we make 15 percent of our chips in this country. Maybe the argument has always been cost, right? And and so that's the argument they want to use to get the subsidy, which which honestly, again, this is not that much money. It's it's almost like bragging rights to get this money was free money. Yeah, it's and who doesn't like free money, right? So any free money is better than not getting any money at all. But it's enough to to get the plant made. It's it's basically using the United States government as an investment arm, you know, sink a little seed money into us, building a new plant. Yeah, I can't live with it. Chinese do. So the cost thing is I've always thought was something somewhat mythical because I think it's less cost and more tax benefits, tax breaks, special deals. I mean, the first time I went to China, China, mainland was in the 90s early. And I visited the Samsung keyboard plant. And Samsung had a keyboard plant there. It was either Samsung or maybe an Acer. Whatever the case, one of the two, they had a keyboard plant there. And I was talking about the reason you guys are you're paying at the time they're paying their workers $25 a week. And I said, so the whole reason for being here is because you're saving so much money on labor. And he says, you know, maybe, but the real we want to move to we want to get rid of all these people and put in robots. We want to robotize everything. And then we'll be, you know, then we can make some money. And it always seemed to me that the labor thing is kind of a stopgap, the cheap labor in China, which isn't as cheap as it used to be. And the whole thing is going to be robots. Well, we can do robots here. So there's got to be some other element here. And it's got to either be the cost of land, the tax benefits or some other thing incentive to build some incentive missing that we don't have in this country. I know in California, what it is, it's the ridiculous personal income tax and taxes on business. Yeah, I think what would be best for everyone is if we had a nice distributed system where if something goes down in one place, it doesn't bring down the whole system again, you know, like a good distributed. Yeah, good luck, Tom. Yeah. Yeah. One of these days. Oh, well, we could, we can try to come up with solution next week on DTNS experiment week. We're swapping out our normal DTNS shows, trying out some new ideas. We did this last year and now you can enjoy shows like barbecue and tech and the tech, John. So who knows what's going to come out of this this year. We've got Rob Dunwood and Rod Simmons giving us a reaction show, instant reaction to Samsung's announcement. Nicole Lee is doing a show on tech culture from an Asian-American perspective. That all starts next week, Monday, August 8th on the DTNS feed right here where you're getting this show. Risk Five is an open standard instruction set architecture based on the old reduced instruction set architecture risk. Dates back to about 1980, Risk Five was introduced in 2010. It's kind of like ARM, except you don't have to pay anybody to use it. Earlier this month, the first laptop running on Risk Five, the Roma, went up for pre-order. That'll be shipping in September, they say. Pine 64, a maker and seller of hacker-friendly single board computers just introduced a Risk Five powered single board computer called the Star 64. And John, you've been following Risk Five. What do you think it offers over, say, an ARM or an X86? Well, for one thing, I know I had a chat with David Patterson, who's a retired. He's the guy with Hanna C. Designed Risk to begin with. And he's his fingers are all over this thing. And it's really been redone a lot. It's not nothing like the original risk. And I'm not sure how much it's just this this re-architected. And it's it's got some elements that are quite interesting in so far as it's free, it's open source. And it was described to me. The best way to describe it was because I'm trying to describe it as something that's modular, you could take a part because you could put another instruction set on top of the basis, the basic architecture and actually make it an X86 chip. But it's described as a standard in in in line with Ethernet. Look at his Ethernet. That's your best bet or the IEEE floating point standard. That's what they wanted. That's how they're handling this. So it's going to be a standardized product that anyone can build and it's open source. And so you can do the modifications, do whatever you want to it in the same way you can with ARM. And so ARM costs money. You buy the IP from ARM and then you have to pay a royalty. You have to do the same and you can't even do that with Intel. They just keep it for themselves and you have to re-engineer it from scratch if you want to do anything with the next X86 instruction set like AMD did and surpassed Intel in some ways. So so the idea is that this thing is just it's a true open source and standard. It's a standardized product that will be available to anybody to use it as they wish. And there's already being used a lot. I understand by some of the chip companies like I'm guessing Nvidia has got a risk chips built in here and there. And other people are looking at this as a way of saving money. This is a winner except that, you know, they're they're making some missteps in so far as their marketing is concerned because I was watching a recent discussion about from one of the guys that is part of the team at the risk or risk five dot org or whatever the main site is they have. You can go there and you got some videos. You can learn quite a bit, but there's talking about, well, we're going to do a laptop because developers love laptops. And so we're going to do the laptop and and we're going to be able to take the chip out and put another more a faster one in. You can do chip replacement. And this is something I've been hearing about since the 80s where, oh, yeah, you can upgrade. I think even IBM tried to do this once is you can upgrade the processor.  It's just that when people upgrade the processor, if you could say you can, it's that's not the problem. The real upgrade you need is it changing to USBC, changing to a better display, changing to a different HD, you know, an HDMI, something with a different kind of. Yeah, something more like what the framework laptop is trying to do, whether we're allowing you to swap everything out. Yeah. Well, it turns out to cost more. It's easier just to toss a machine, just go. But, you know, I don't know. I just bought a Lenovo from my wife, which she wanted to touch screen. So I just I don't know what I didn't pay anything for it. And and then to me, I've been buying these little I don't have one here. I should. You know, the Intel NUC, which is a new unit of computing. Well, they're actually, you know, B link and ace PC and all these other guys are building these things. And they're I just did this B link. Yes, I just bought one from Amazon. They were one hundred and sixty five dollars with a 10 nanometers cellar on in it to I think to a four cores. And with a 20 percent 20, no, twenty dollars off coupon that comes with it. So for one hundred and fifty bucks and it's got two HDMI for two monitors. This thing is loaded. It's got built in Wi-Fi. It's got a decent solid state hard drive. I don't see why I'd be swapping anything.  Getting back to risk five. Do you do you think that this is at Raspberry Pi level yet? Do you know it's at Raspberry Pi level? Yes. Well, within 20 percent, they've been doing some tests on that little board you just mentioned. Yeah, they ran it against the Raspberry Pi. Running the same software. And it turns out to be about 20 percent 20 percent slower. OK, but, you know, with the with the brain power behind this thing and now Intel is dropping a billion dollars into the project. And I don't know if they're doing it as a defensive investment or they're doing it to get on board. Don't know. But if they bring some of their technology, process technology into the fray, they can get Raspberry Pi will be left in the dust. But right now it's I'd say almost on par. Yeah, it feels a little like Arm did way back, which is I don't know if this will ever be in a PC. And of course, now we look at ARM instruction sets inside the MacBook Pro and people are saying it's one of the best laptops out there because of the chip and the chip design. So it certainly could have the potential for that. It sounds to me, if I had to guess, that Intel is throwing money at this in the hopes of leapfrogging ARM, which is to say ARM is not going to throw money in this because it's a competitor. So if Intel can make risk five work better, Intel can not only put a competitor on ARM, but also take advantage of it because they're working directly with it. Yeah, and Intel needs something like this. So it's like IBM getting involved with Linux. I think it's probably a good idea to play it right. The problem is Intel has this huge problem with not invented here at the at the corporate level. And so they will have people trying to submarine the efforts, I believe, because Intel has always had this problem with with taking in other technologies. And it's a it's a it's a corporate culture problem. It doesn't matter. It's a troll call, yeah, which means you can't fix it. Yeah, yeah, it's tough to. So we'll see where that goes. But I do think that and I looked at the timeline of Ethernet, which I believe was invented around 1973 and came into the play around in 782, took about 10 years, took actually about 12 years before Ethernet 10. Probably it was the one or two megabit per second. Ethernet, it before it started becoming a part of the public domain and public consciousness. And then you didn't get to I forgot the year that 100 megabit than that gigabit and I got 10 gigabit. It's got 40 gigabit Ethernet. It started jumping when it when it jumped to gigabit. And so it took that long. The this project, this risk five began in 2010 at Berkeley. It's a Cal project. And so now it's 12 years old. So it is getting to the point where it's like Ethernet, one megabit per second. Ethernet. And so now the timeline follows through within two or three years. I'd say within 22 by 2025, I think this will be a player. It's a Swiss company now. It's a nonprofit that is overseeing it. So it's the perfect positioning to be a standards organization. Right. It they're kind of cagey about the license. If it looked the only licenses I could find were Creative Commons licenses. But I didn't dig down far enough. So I'm curious if my understanding is it's open source period. Yeah, I think everything is certainly open source. And it may just be a Creative Commons license on the source code. I think I think that I don't know the license either. But I would say the license, I'm guessing the license is one of those. You can use it, but you whatever you develop, you have to put back into the pot. Yeah, I it's perfectly positioned to be a standard. It's certainly something to keep an eye on. So good, good thing to talk about it again in three years when you have me back on. Yeah, please make it back before three years from now. To make you to make you feel welcome. I put a win app story in the show today, you know. Oh, yes, great. Just something comfortable. Win app. Win app's back four years in development. The popular media player software is back out of beta. You may think, well, wait, Win app sees development in 2013. But if you think back in 2018, there was a leak of a new version of Winamp, Winamp 5.8, and they went ahead and published it because of the leak at winamp.com. Well, now Winamp 5.9. The next version is official. The code base was updated from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2019. That sadly means that no longer will work on your XP or Vista machines, but it'll work on Windows 7 up. Work can now begin because of that code base switch. That's what took them four years to add things you want from it. So native support for more file formats. They're they're talking about VP9, HLS, H.265, stuff like that. Support for new online services, which is, I think, something that a lot of people would want out of this. You know, Winamp stories may be a little similar to Risk 5, something with its roots in the past, but positioned to be a little more open and accepting and as an alternative in the future. Yeah, well, let's hope not. I'd hate to equate the two, to be honest about it. Winamp's like an old model. Feelings for Winamp? It's like an old model T, you know, that it just worked in this day. Yeah. And and it just chugs along. And so instead of like just dropping it like you should have, bringing it back is kind of a model T hot rod. OK, well, it probably, you know, be out. Try it. Yeah, I will do, of course. Let's check the mailbag real quick. We had our photo news monthly episode this weekend hosted by Amos and Rich Drafilino and Yaniv photographer with a Nikon ZFC and manual lenses wrote in and said a few years ago, I had the Sony A6000 great little camera, but I wanted to take time lapses with it. There was no way to do it easily. But I found out that someone hacked the software and with a new software installed in the SD card, you can override the latest version and be able to create amazing time lapses with a few clicks. I think companies create a version of the camera's software and sometimes don't realize what people want or what they can do with it. Important details like incomplete software is a problem and shouldn't be released until they're complete. But I am all in on new capabilities created by software updates. Agreed, Yaniv. You know, time lapses is a great little item to have on your camera. Very few cameras have it. And the last camera I had that had it was an old Kodak three megapixel clunker. It was a big thing and it had time lapse on it and you could put it on the outside and it also had variable time lapse. So you could do one frame a second. You could do one frame a minute. One frame an hour, one frame a day. I believe that had all those variables, but it had variables. And it was a great idea. But I don't know why these guys can't just won't just do that. This is, you know, and now in those Sony cameras, which are stunning kind of pro grade cameras, these things are used by movie makers. It's a good idea to put it on there just to draw attention. But of course, it has to be done by a hacker. Yeah. As so many good things are, John Dvorak, a pleasure to have you back on DTNS. I know you're up to no agenda show. Tell folks about that. And what else you got going on? Well, the no agenda show with Adam Curry and myself is a three hour twice a week show, no agenda show dot com. If you want to listen to an episode, we deconstruct news stories. Basically, we take a look at a news story and then we take it apart and see what PR agency was behind it. If it if it's a really a native ad, we're seeing a lot of those on NPR now and you can tell the native ads because it's some stupid story. The taco Mexican taco story, which they ran over and over again is one of them. And it always runs exactly one minute or exactly two minutes. It's right on the money for a native ad and it's about Mexican tacos at Taco Bell, something like that was one of the more recent ones. There's a couple more that come out. Apple's got a new native ad that's been floating around the country. Somebody sent it to me the other day. But we look into those, but we look mostly in the news stories and we try to get to the bottom of the various bills in Congress and the repetitive news stories you see here and there. And then the other show I do, which is DH Unplugged, which is a stock market analysis show. I've always written about the financial business. And so I'm not writing about anymore. I'm doing the show with Andrew Horowitz, who's in Florida. And we talk about it's a one hour show to the money. It's like an hour. It's not like no agenda show is open ended so it can go on for days. We once did a seven and a half hour show. But DH Unplugged, if you're an investor, I think you'd get a lot out of that show. Excellent. Go check them out, folks.
