Well, happy Thursday morning. This is Run It Back right here on Fandal TV. We are missing Shoms today, feeling a little under the weather. Yep, get well soon, but we have allergies being represented up here quite well. So, Taylor P, Lou Will, we've got a lot of basketball to get to, a lot of basketball, some shenanigans as well, but we are gonna start with the Warriors. They gotta win, beat the magic, 101, 93. We'll get to the Dremont stuff in a second. Steph Curry had 17, 10 assists. Andrew Wiggins with 23 points, and Cole Anthony, 26 points off the bench. But, as per usual, we're talking about Dremont for not great reasons. Less than four minutes into this one, I thought it was a typo when I saw it all happening. He was ejected, two Ts. This is career high fourth ejection of the season. The night after, he puts Patty Mills in a headlock. Guys, and by the way, this is the part that broke my heart. You made Steph Curry cry, dude. Literally. Now, who's defending? Let me hear who's defending Dremont today, go. Today's not the day, but today is not the day. I was, I didn't like that. Based on, you know, early in the games, the score was six to six. Yeah, come on. Nothing should be this serious in the game where it gets under your skin. And Dre, you weren't even part of that play. You know what I mean? But seeing his reaction when he's talking to the ref, it looks like something was said to him that he probably disagreed with in that conversation. He took exception to it. All in all, we gotta look at Big Picture. I've been an advocate of Dremont. I've defended. I've said, if my enforcer is gonna be an enforcer, I want him to be himself at all times. I'ma scale that back a little bit because you're getting to a point in the season where these games are important and it shows in Steph Curry's reaction. You know, he was emotional about that because it means so much to this organization to continue on and Dremont is a big part of that. And he gotta start carrying himself like that. Obviously he knows that, but when you get kicked out of the game four minutes in, this is detrimental to what you're trying to do. Now you're, it's being disruptive. So I didn't like that. I didn't like the public display of frustration that it put Steph Curry in a position to show in a position that it put the Warriors in. Even though they got a big win, I didn't like this. Yeah, my problem, it's been disruptive. This isn't new. This is, it's a tired act and the juice isn't worth the squeeze to me and I don't think it's worth it to them either. You can see clearly. I like that. Clearly you can see that Steph Curry, he's never, I've never seen him this frustrated in his entire career. Ever. Lost losing in the post season, anything. So in my opinion, he's done with Draymond Green. He is over the antics. He understands how valuable he is to this team and four, five, six minutes, whatever it was into the game. At this point of the season where you're fighting for your life, you're fighting for a possibility of getting into a play and well, meanwhile, the hottest team in the NBA is running 10 straight. Right. And you're arguably your second most valuable player is getting tossed again after getting, you know, away with murder of the night before. Choking out Patty Mills. It's just, it's a tired act and it's exhausting. And again, like Lou always says, this is who he is. That's fine. And I understand the whole emotional aspect and he brings energy to his team and he is that spark. And they are a lot better when he's on the floor.  So that is when now you're being selfish. You're being irrational.  You're costing your franchise money. You're costing yourself all that too. So it's just a bad look. And there's no way in my eyes that he's on the Golden State Warriors next year. I don't know how that's going to happen, but like Steph Curry is over it, man. I mean, if you lose Steph Curry, you know what I saw there and it kind of was heartbreaking. It was just like, that's his friend first and foremost. And it was almost like the realization hit Steph in that moment. Like this dude will never. And I don't care how many therapists you have on retainer or how many days you're going to talk. Well, you know what it did for me. It put everything Steve Kerr has been saying in perspective about we can't expect Steph Curry to carry the load on every single thing you saw. He had, he was frustrated. He's tired. He's kicking chairs. We've never seen this side of Steph Curry and it's getting heavy. You know, the expectations are getting heavy and he's dealing with a lot of, I don't want to say he's dealing with it alone because you know, this is obviously a team sport and guys are contributing. But you know, publicly this looks like it's getting to be a lot for Steph Curry and I hate it to see that. And think about Steve Kerr saying we can't keep putting this much on Steph Curry. So Draymond Green, let's get tossed within five minutes game and put even more on Steph Curry. It's like, it's selfish. She's not listening. He's not, I don't care how intense, how emotional you are as a player. You're still, you have to be under control.  You're a man.  Like you have to get your feelings in check. Control himself. Or it's going to cost your team and your career. Like, and again, I think he still has value where other teams will maybe take a flyer on him. He's going to be a Hall of Fame player based on what he's done his career up to this point. But these are all self-inflicted wounds. And it's disgusting that we're sitting here talking about this. When they had a huge win last night in the most important part of the season and we're talking about how this guy got tossed again and did something crazy that we're all just not even surprised but yet somehow still surprised. I mean, it's, look, I spent an entire day thinking about how annoyed we are right now. And you know, what do you think that locker room is thinking about? What do you think? Steph was asked about it after the game. Here he is. What did you think of the Draymond injection? Well, I'll say it, Wendy, we need him. He knows that. We all know that. So whatever it takes to keep him on the floor out, he'll be available. That's what's got to happen. The guy has one of the greatest lifes ever. He's healthy. For sure. He's happy. He's so loaded, wildly rich. He's devastated. He's so upset because his teammate, you said his friend can't keep his emotions in check and play the game of basketball. That's all you gotta do. And this dude is getting help, got help. I don't know if it's a continuing processor, if it was a one-off just to tell the league he's good, but to not be able, I mean, we all have anger management issues to a point, right? Whether it come out in the car or whatever. His is all the time on the court and he cannot help himself. I'm gonna give him some credit. You think he got help? I ain't really trippin' on the help because this is an on-court thing. He doesn't have a history of behavior. But that's his job. Right, but he doesn't have a history of behavior issues when it comes to his personal life. I give him credit for that. So sometimes we start talkin' about, he needs the help and all of that stuff. I kinda take a cut off of that because some of this is theater, right? Some of this is- It's not good theater. I'm with you. But some of it is part of the entertainment side and we're commentin' on it based on entertainment. People are gettin' hurt. You don't smack to him a few faces and put a couple headlots in a couple choke holes. Don't get me wrong, but I just wanna see him carry himself to a place where you hate for their dynasty and everything that they've been able to accomplish be marred with this type of attention. You know what I'm sayin'? And that's my thing. Like Lou said too, it's tricky for me and Lou because we played basketball and we know these guys. So we know Draymond Green off the court. We know him on the court. Draymond's a friend.  But off the court, the guy is cool.  So I try and tread lightly when he behaves like this on the court, but man, it's like I'm like a parent. I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. It's like how many times does it have to happen? But as a player, I get it. As a player, I get disappointed. As a former teammate, you're like, bro, enough is enough. Like if I'm in that locker room- Because Steph is the hall of fame, right? The problem is he's the vet on that locker room and it's not gonna be Clay and it's not gonna be Steph Curry that's gonna grab him by his jersey today and say, bro, enough. No one in that locker room is gonna do that. There is no vet on that team. There's no Iguodala anymore. There's no, Chris Paul should do it, but he's new, he's the new, you know what I mean? So it's, there's, he is that enforcer. So there is no one to check Draymond in that locker room, which is another hard part because Steph Curry and Clay Thompson are two of the nicest people in the world. Also they do a good thing there. They don't want confrontation. They've been there. They've had a hell of a career, hall of fame career with Draymond Green. He's a huge part of that. But again, there's, it's not like he's this young guy that needs two to lynch and a mentor. He's the vet.  That's what this is. And you know what kind of example, like Trace Jackson and Kaminga, Kaminga, Trace Jackson, do you want those guys fall on this guy's knee for the next five, seven years? You know what I mean? So it's tough. And this puts a lot of pressure on Mike Dunleavy this summer. He's got so many decisions to make. What does he do with Wiggins? It's Chris Paul. And now their biggest decision is probably this guy just based off his behavior and how he's acted. Because don't we think he's there still because Kerr and Curry are like no way about it? And you see when he just came back from his first suspension from something else that he did, their team plays much better when Draymond Green is on the floor. No doubt he is their best defensive player. He is their catalyst. He's a vocal leader. Even offensively, he knows how to get them. He knows how to play really well off Steph Curry and Clay Thompson. The problem is when you continue to do things like this, it's like Steve Kerr has every right to shut him down for the season. Like, you know what I mean? He's just something dramatic.  But how many other times, how many strikes does this guy get? Guys, a cat. 37. Well, you know why they don't do that? Because they need him. Besides, well, yes. They're brightening still. And they're literally have the, they could, they... They could not make the play. The Rockets weren't doing what they were doing. I think they wouldn't. Besides the Jordan pool issue, everything that he's doing is against his opponents.  And that's what we're saying. Like, we know he's a good guy. So Steph and Clay and these guys that have been around, they love him off the court. They love him. He's a great dude off the court. It's just, I don't know. That's why the reaction on Steph was, it was like, wow. Because you could tell. Like, wouldn't you ever felt like that bad for Steph Kerr? You made him cry. But he did do a night night celebration. We did get a great night night celebration out of Steph. The whole length of the court after hitting this three that put things away. I mean, just a lot of, that's a long night night celebration. Yeah, and this is what we should be talking about. This is what, this is the Warriors fighting for their life, beating the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference on the road with dream one getting suspended, overcoming all those obstacles. So this is what we should have started the show at. This is what we should be talking about. We should be talking about how solid of a game Wiggins had. 23 points, finally found his rhythm up into it. That's too frustrating, bro. Aha. No, it's just, it's ridiculous. It's so good. We have a, we have a lot of things to talk about because we should be thankful for guys like Dreymon Green. But Jesus, like, I'd stop. It's irritating, I think, as a, just a fan of the game because Dreymon's not the guy on this team. Steph is. Steph, Steph arguably has changed the NBA in his time that he's been in this league. The idea that you as not the guy is constantly the one bringing all this drama Well Steph is the lead singer. 100%. But he's in the band. He's in the band. Dreymon, Dreymon is a big part of the band. But you know what, he can be replaced as a part of the band. The problem is he's not the guy and he's not the future. So he's kind of right in the middle where he is replaceable and they have decisions to make this summer. And if I was a betting man. That's a hot take, Chandler. I mean, how could it not be? Unless he retires, which I don't think that's happening. I just think that's just how the game goes. So you think he's out too at the end of the season? I think at this point you have to address it. And I think he's aware of that as well. Like, you know, he's even made comments kind of similar to that even before he got his deal. That, you know, maybe this is the end of the road. Did he tweet? Is that the deal Dreymon had? By the way, you could tell he was trying to be nice to Steph because he was waiting for him afterwards. It's too late. He's already cried on the thing. Did he tweet after the game? Is that what I'm seeing right here? I'd like to see a Dreymon tweet. Oh, holding it down. I just, I'm telling you, there's no awareness at all. There's no accountability, nothing. Not, hey, sorry, I let you down again. This is like a classic deflection. Man, I want to see the schooling of these therapists. I'd like to know where they went to school. Certificate. I'd like to see your degrees. Please, Mams and Sir. We had another big game last night. This was a good one. Don't look now, Lou. Clippers. Is it happening? Sixers, Clippers, they beat them. 108, 107. This was Hardin's first game back in Philly, and he got food. He had 16-14, Kauai Leonard, 17-9, Tyrese Max, and he's doing it all with 26 points, but Sixers coach Nick Nurse was furious. There was a no-call on the final play. He's out there, things are happening. Talk to me, is it a foul? Should it have been a foul? I mean, the only way I think it might be a foul is if he's in the circle, which I don't think he is. He goes up pretty good vertical. The problem where I think it was a foul was the first play of the end of regulation. Right. The one where he went from the left baseline, but again, this is, there's some contact there. They said, the refs admitted to ask, by the way, I don't know the law. They remitted after the game. Yep, should have been a foul. Yeah, like it's, there's contact, but I think a lot of times at the end of the game, refs try and let you play. They try and let you, and as a player, you try and make them force their hand to blow the whistle. So this is kind of both trying to do their job, trying to let them play, trying to get the contact. And it could have went either way. And it's scary because if that whistle is blowing, the clippers. And you gotta think, it took us four or five times for us to have a solid opinion. Like, and we're still like, I don't know. Yeah, I still don't. So real time right there, you let them play. Obviously somebody's gonna be gonna get the short end of the stick. Last night it was the sixes. Go win for the clippers. Yeah, it was Nick Nurse. It was also one of my, and I understand the hypocrisy I'm about to do here that I'm gonna love this next video and poop on Dreymon, different deliveries. Because Kelly Ubre, yep, you will be, you will be, you will be here. And then, and then, you're cool. Who's Nick? This man. It's my son. Okay, all of them. And he said, okay, look. Okay, okay, making sure you heard me. And then moves on to their mothers after her. He does move on to their mothers after her.  She might be a bee, you don't know. So Kelly Ubre doesn't have a history of this type of thing, right? Oh, yes. If this is Dreymon Green, the world blows up today. And he's so calm, like, I'm telling you, the delivery, it's perfectly done. The question however today is the over under on the fine. We're gonna start guessing. I thought it was, I thought the over was gonna be 50. Now watching this, this might be 75. Oh, it's over. This is 20. You think it's over 50 for sure.   What about that? What about the mom bees? Oh, he threw some moms in there? Yeah, he got some moms in there. What do you mean?   God, it's my 50. Did he? He dropped six different insults. He did. There were six individual. Individually. That's 150. You think it's 150? That's the math. I can't wait. That's 25. Here's the thing with this too, which it's hilarious from watching it. You think these refs are gonna forget this next time they rep you? Oh, no. Oh, no. This is a little issue. At the end of the day, those guys are human. You basically just went at them.  Okay. That's, that's kills me. Check it out. Okay. And also your mom. And then your friend and your. But listen. If you know you're going to get fined. Go. Get your money's worth. Just run. Yeah. Get your money. Like after you get your second tee, you get like a free 10 seconds of going off. Then you get a little angry. Oh God.  You know what though? And then you apologize afterwards. He did. I think we'll soften the blow a little bit. So when you, when you do all of this and then you apologize, Michelle, you're not standing on business. Oh, so, oh, interesting. So Draymon stands on business. Draymon is standing. Is that good though? I feel like that's not good here. Precisely. Draymon stands on business. There you go. There you have it. Okay. Well there was a final 45 seconds. Kawhi Leonard with a bucket and one to give the Clippers the lead. Then the game winning and one. And then the game saving block, which is what you saw in the controversial play there at the end. Yeah, claw. Let me ask you this. When we get to see this Kawhi, it's just, it's a beautiful thing. How many dudes are you taking over a healthy Kawhi compost? That's such an interesting question. And that's what makes the, that's what makes the Clippers dangerous because if I'm not going to take Kawhi, I'm probably going to take a couple guys that's wearing the same uniform that he has on. I like, I like Paul George in the closing moments of games. Let's not forget who James Harden is in the closing moments of games when you put that ball in his hands. So to see this. Okay, sorry. So to see this version of Kawhi, this is a good sign. They got away with a win last night, foul or no foul, but moving forward. If he's in attack mode like this, this at the end of games on the offensive end, defensive end, that makes the Clippers a dangerous team. Yeah, and it's safe to say he's back. He's ever been 24, six and four. That's a great season for Kawhi Learn.  So he's, he's been available. And that's been kind of his issue for over the last couple of years where when he's on the floor and this year, this is the best he's looked. He looks strong, he looks healthy. He looks like he, he's back to that two way player that he was in San Antonio and he was in Toronto that year. So this is huge for him because he is one of the best two way players of all time. And when he's healthy like this, he can be still a dominating force, especially with the supporting cast that he has. So like the Suns, like the Clippers, this is why they are scary because they have this firepower and they have this depth and capability of a great bench, bigs, guard play, can score in multiple ways. So they're dangerous, only if he's healthy. That's fair. I mean, that's what we're all hoping to. Only? Only if he's healthy.  I think it's gonna be a dog fight. They're gonna have a tough series regardless with that. I think with him, it's gonna be tough. All right, fine. Okay, well, how about James Harden? Because as we mentioned, it was his big return to Philadelphia since the trade crowd reaction. About right. We'll always love a healthy boo. I just, I love it. I love it. I got no problem with this. Yeah, I love it. This is Philadelphia. I spent my first eight years there. My first time coming back, I was terrified. Cause they have a history of booing everybody.  Well, no, I gotta stand and know. I gotta stand and know. But this is also a city who threw snowballs at Santa Claus. Yeah, they did not. They threw snowballs at Santa Claus. This is a sports town that they feel slighted in the least bit. They're gonna make sure you know that. And obviously had the way that James Harden departed, they was gonna let him know. And this is the beauty of sports, right? And fans, when I left Houston, I went to Dallas and I went back.  Then they played a video. They cheered and as soon as that video ended, guess what? You went right back to keep throwing me. Thank you. As you said that, I gotta stand and know. And then when the game started, the first time I touched the ball, the game back, everybody booed me. There's a protocol as fans, cause I am the fan in this. And I love booing. By the way, I feel like you get booed. I get booed. I'll go to Joe and the juice here and get booed. Yeah, I can see that. Oh, break time. When we come back, Comedian and Portland Trailblazer fan, we found one. Ian Carmel joins the show, talks about it. Blazer had his dope. That has a good hat. I know. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. Run it up. Oh, we got a funny man on with us now. Ian Carmel joins us. Standup comic host of all fantasy, everything. The podcast. What's up Ian? Okay, well, we're gonna start right with your hat, right?  You grew up in Oregon. So if people were wondering how that happens, that's how it happens. And they've been in tank mode for a minute. What do you do with seasons like this? Cause as a Spurs fan, I get it. It happens. What do you do with these types of seasons? You learn to love the likes of Dewop Wreath and Delano Banton. Who? And you convince yourself that these are going to be major parts of an eventual championship winning team.  You lie, yeah.  It takes time. It takes time. It does. It does. And you end up getting really into what is apparently going to be the worst draft class in years. I know. You guys really didn't time that well, did you? Future is bright. The future is bright. That future just might not start until 2026. Future is bright. I'm in the same boat, but we have Wimby. Go on, sorry. Yeah, you're not in the same boat at all. I don't want to hear that. I mean, it sounded good as I started to see. He's in a goddamn canoe. You're right.  I'm in a tube. And there was a chance I was going to get that yacht too. Like last year, there was like, you know, I know you might have, because I cry in, I legit cried when they opened the envelope and it was spurs are getting the number one. Legitimately had tears of joy coming down my face. Like it had already, like we'd won a championship already. How's that? Oh, I remember the feeling because it happened when we drafted Greg Odin. So I'm very familiar with that feeling of excitement that you're about to, you know, join forces with a franchise altering center. It's exactly the same. And so big news in Portland. This past off season, they move on from Damian Lillard. What was your take on that? Did it kind of run its course? Did you think that was the right move at the time? Did you want to keep them? What was your thoughts on that? I was grateful that we would always have the rap albums to remember our time together. You know, honestly, I was happy for him. It felt like an amicable divorce, even if it got a little weird with where he was going to be moving after the divorce was completed. But I think Portland will always love Damian Lillard. I mean, that's my favorite player who I got to watch throughout my career as a Portland Trial Blazers fan. And yeah, it was time for him to go. You know, he'd taken us as far as we were going to go. The team clearly couldn't put winning pieces around him in a way that he needed to have around him at that point. So yeah, I think it's not a single Portland Trial Blazer fan who doesn't wish him well. We're also on a little bit of a Milwaukee Box fan. So now do you still follow? Do you still cheer for him in Milwaukee as long as they're not playing the Trial Blazers? Whoever cheers for you, X. You're awesome. That's a great, that's a great question. We're cheering for him. I swear to God, in Portland, yeah, we are such. You're class X. We're a little bit class X. We a little bit have like a parasocial relationship. Maybe we're like a little bit of like a Cuck fan based due to because of it, but. Maybe that. Everyone, everyone in Portland, they do. There's a little bit of shot in Freud, you know what I mean? When the Doc Bravers thing was first getting off the ground, but now that they're clicking, they're moving, they're winning a lot of games. I think everyone would like to see it happen for Damien Lillard. By the way, revealing moment for Lou who said who roots for their X. So now we know a little bit more about Lou Will than we did yesterday. Bitter, bitter man. Which one? Exactly. I like it. I like it already. I like it. By the way, on the Dame thing, like when it came out that he was bored and my favorite part, lonely, in Milwaukee playing video games, what did you think of that? I thought sounds like Milwaukee. Yeah, checks out. Checks out. But how can Dame Lillard be lonely anywhere? I got a good feeling he's found some companies. He's found people. Since that interview. Reggie Miller, well go ahead, I'm sorry. No, I'm just gonna say Chicago's right down the road, man, you can go find some company, you know, even if it's not Milwaukee. Exactly. Like Austin and San Antonio. Okay, sounds. Quick little ride. Reggie Miller recently said that Dame Lillard is in his top 10. Where would you rank, Dame? Of all time. Personally, I would have Damien Lillard in my top three with Rashid Wallace and Kevin Duckworth, but that's your support on trailblazer thing. Right. Reggie Miller said he's got Damien Lillard in his top 10. He said he got him in his top 10 of all time. That's bad. I think it was a hot take, but you know, it worked. We're talking about it. I thought he meant top 10 shooters of all time. He meant players. Top 10 trailblazers of all time. Yeah. Like what? I thought we were all, I mean, we were all pretty stoked. He made top 75 all time, and I thought that was like a generous and lovely thing to say about him. I don't know about it. Maybe top 10 guys from Oakland, top 10 point guard. Oakland, Oakland list is good. That's the best. The Oakland list is very good. Yeah. The Oakland list of point guard is amazing. Okay, so you got Duckworth, you got Sheed, Clyde Drexler, and David Lillard who of all the players in the history of the trailblazers deserve a statue outside that arena. All right, so Clyde Drexler's kid got this conversation going amongst Blazers fans, and I guess amongst the national media too, the other day. I'll tell you this for free, it's not Clyde Drexler. Why is that?  That's tough. Where that, like you go into the whole thing, as a Houston rocket. In my opinion, to get a statue, you either have to win a championship with a team, or stay with a team for your entire career and be one of its best players. He didn't do either of those teams or things. So Dan doesn't get a statue either then. So no statue? David Lillard does not get a statue in Portland. Ooh, here's the Statulis Moto Center. Yeah. Statulis, here's who gets the statue. You can have one of Dr. Jack Ramsey talking to Bill Walton and Maurice Lucas, all huddled up together. You got the three of them. Wow. All talking to one another. That could be a statue. I think you have a statue of the person who invented voodoo donuts. It's just a guy holding a pink box. There's one out here now too, and I like it. Okay, we don't get that. They're everywhere. They're spreading. I love donuts. Maybe that guy who rides a unicycle dressed like Darth Vader, holding bagpipes, like he can get a statue. I thought he was just a crackhead in Portland. That doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a statue. Those things are mutually exclusive. Our crackheads are employed. We're a whimsical city. What made you first fall in love with the Blazers? How did that start? So I went to preschool at a place called the Middlemen's Jewish Community Center in Portland, Oregon. And this was in the early 1990s when basketball teams would still practice at places like that before they had practice facilities. It went on longer than you would imagine. That's crazy. I bet it did. Yeah, I practiced at a nursing community college for my first seven years of my career. What? I kind of love it. At a nursing community college? Yes. Yes. Just out there crossing up 78-year-old Jerry. Yeah, like what is it? Okay, all right, go on. I like it. So I went to preschool there and the Blazers practiced at that same facility. So you'd be sitting there like eating a canis in the cafeteria and Jerome Cursey and Clyde Drexler would walk by. R.I.P. R.I.P. Yeah, gotcha. And it was just amazing. The town, the city has always loved the Blazers. We have two soccer teams now, but we are primarily a one sport town for most of my life. So I just fell in love with them then and I assumed that it was a, oh, we go to the finals every couple of years' experience for the rest of my life. And it has not been the case, but it started like that. That's awesome. So you've been to a lot of games, obviously. Also, Portland's one of the hardest, craziest fans that we've ever played there. I love playing at Portland. It's awesome playing there, especially in the post-season. My least favorite game ever, obviously, was when that gagger put me out of my misery. That's my worst game ever in Portland.   Oh, no. Yeah. Y'all believe the snare that day. Hell of a shot. You've heard it louder in the Rose Garden than I think it's ever been in the Rose Garden before. I think even louder than it was. Eat curl. Not to say any names, but James Harden was supposed to switch. He did it, and then just in the, in the statue, it's going to go up front.  It would be. That's a weird answer. That would be the picture. You're going to get half a statue. I'm going to be the Jalen Rose in the statue. Why are you going to get like a full arm, though? He's going to get an arm in the statue. You were there. That's kind of amazing that you were there for his worst. I love that. I was, I was hammered. I was in the crowd. I'm actually in the footage of you hitting that shot. You can find me. I decided to wear a tie at that game for some reason. Yeah. So I'm in the crowd cheering. My arm goes up before it goes in. You knew it. I knew why you, he had you guarding him, so I knew it would not. It all comes out now. Okay. So what's the worst game?  Well, not because of our burgeoning friendship. I'm going to say that too, because I feel so bad for you. Oh, that's nice. Thank you. Thank you. See, just like that, you guys are besties. By the way, I just have to tell you, when I was 13 and the Spurs were playing the Trailblazers for the Western Conference Finals, that was the first time I sports cried. And the Trailblazers, and by the way, this is before anybody here was probably even alive. How many times have you sports cried since?  Those types, they're all Spurs related. It's a complete sign. Do you ever cry after like an NBA game? See? Like, I cried. I lost the state championship. That was the last time I think I cried in like the basketball game. I think fans cry more than you guys, right? And we cry, but they don't really cry. What does that mean? I think you guys care more than I do. I think it means that we're not making like 20 million dollars a year. You guys care? And the cheques still cash. Yeah, right? And when it goes, we booze. This is not okay. We discovered something better. All right, we got to get to the podcast. All fantasy, everything, and I love this because you guys draft anything and everything. And I'm talking, it doesn't have to be sports. It can be chips, action stars, bald people, which I think is amazing. In the first pick, and the things not to do at an NBA game draft, I know this is, what is your first pick? I think my first pick is leave early. Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. You don't leave early. This is one that kills me, especially this season in Portland, every game I've gone to, when I'm back home in Portland, people are increasingly leaving early. And that's not what you do. That's how we need to separate ourselves from the Miami fans, the Laker fans. Blazer's fans stay. Thank you. And we watch our team get beat by the Atlanta. That's fine, but you stay. Good, bad, and ugly. Best halftime show, first pick. All right, first pick. And this is almost a career achievement pick. I know. More than it is a right now pick, but it's gotta go to Red Panda. Red Panda, yeah. Who's Red Panda? What? Lou, what else? Even if you don't know Red Panda, you know Red Panda, Red Panda. What's the act? The woman on the giant unicycle with the plates. Oh, that's my favorite. She kicks them up on her head. Michelle, look at me. Do I supposed to know her name is Red Panda? If a person's named Red Panda, you should know. I'm a little busy at halftime, Michelle. Okay, you know what? Ian, this is why fans and players can't get along. It doesn't even know her name. No, well, that's probably the worst thing about being an NBA player. I don't see her on the screen, there's no meta or anything. They don't see the halftime. We don't see it. Ian, we're gonna move on to college basketball here.  Are you into March Madness and who are you rooting for this year? Are you following at all? I always have a soft spot for the Oregon Ducks, but no, I just recorded a standup special last weekend. So then, not as in touch with March Madness as I normally am. Who should I be rooting for this year? North Carolina. I can't root for North Carolina. So you know what's interesting about North Carolina? We said North Carolina has the same average age as the Oklahoma City Thunder. So I can't root for that. They're like Van Wilder over there. They're 23 years old playing college basketball. Bunch of guys getting their doctorates? What's going on out there? Bunch of med students. Well, that's how it used to be back when they'd stay four years. We're just going back. I know how it's like five, six years. Seven, eight, yeah. COVID. COVID year, you get the transfer year. It's unbelievable. I mean, even I've retired since COVID. They got to go home. Ian, if you, okay, I'll give you a team. NC State has this big dude named DJ Burns. Little baby Zebo. Yeah. And he's like, he's adorable. He has a side hustle that he tells all of his teammates about where he has vending machines and he's making, just love. Yeah. Cause you can't root for the dude. Oh, I like this guy. Yeah, you're gonna like this guy. Did you Google him? He got snacks. He has a full unit. He's a, he's settled down channel.  He looks, he looks exactly like that. And he's got game. And he does. And he's lovable. So yes, that's the one. NC State is the one. We're gonna do a little rookie of the year here because for the entire season, since day one, it's Chad Holmgren and that's all they talk about. And I've been obviously fighting the good Wemby fight, which will clearly be right. Where are you on this controversial debate? I think it clearly needs to go to school because... I had schooled as my early pick. He did have it. I had him as my early pick. It hadn't went my way. It hasn't, but lately he's really been playing. He's run through the rookie wall and the rookie wall has shattered around him. Chad Holmgren, I mean, if we're being completely serious about it, it can't be Chad Holmgren. A, not a rookie. Thank you. Not a rookie. B, he's surrounded by, I mean, if you put Victor Wemba and Yama in Chad Holmgren's place on the Thunder, he will be putting up even crazier stats than he is right now in San Antonio. Chet's amazing. He's great. We're very lucky we get to watch him in the NBA for the next, you know, 10, 15 years. But Wemba and Yama's doing stuff already. That makes me... But he's losing every time you do it. He is, but it's not his fault. Like, which guy would you take on your team going forward? Thank you. No, that's not the argument. 100%. But there's one guy that's averaging 17, eight and three on the best team in the West. There's one guy averaging, whatever, 19... We're speaking as athletes. And the worst team in the West.  The other guy's doing it on the best team. Well, do the Celtics have a rookie on their team this year? Because then we should just give it to him, right? Yeah, exactly. And by the way, he's surrounded by good players. He's had a whole extra year of this. Yeah, but sort of Blake Griffin, he won rookie of the year. Victor Wemba and Yama. I don't think that's right either. He has been a pro for five years already. Oh, so now the Europe game is all comparable. But usually we're like, what's not to see? It's comparable to the kids sitting out and working out every day. And I can't take it anymore. What I'm hearing is that we need to reach a compromise. And that compromise lives in Portland, Oregon. It's scooted. All right, scooted is. I'm good, I'm good with it.  I'm down for it. It's true. Play the long game, don't worry. You're gonna get born out in five, six years when he's getting his first statue, the first statue that a current NBA player gets in front of an arena. It's scooted. Did you happen to watch the Clippers' six years game last night and see the color? I didn't. Did you see this? Where he just goes individually, ethers and offends every referee and then decides to go with their mothers calling them all bitches. Yes, I did. I didn't see the game, but I did catch that particular highlight. And then I counted another 43 times throughout the course of the evening. Oh my God. God, I love it so much. It's unbelievable. Have you, hey, by the way, you need to use this in one of your next stand-ups. Any time you get heckled or booed, just go with their mothers. Have you ever done anything like this? I unfortunately have done something like that. If you do it at the end of the set, it goes okay. If you do it at the beginning, it's kind of hard to get the crowd back. Oh, wow. The timing is everything. An hour of awkwardness. If he captured that and put it up on Instagram, by the way, that would be one of the bigger crowd war clips. Oh, God. That I've seen before. He'd probably get his followers real fast.  Why Dylan Brooks? You get me, Ian. I just kind of think that's the guy you want on your team. When he's on the other team, you're like, I hope a bear eats him. I hope he falls off a bridge. Like, you hate that guy. But when that person is on your team, out there instigating on your behalf, yes, sometimes it goes wrong. Sometimes it ends up with LeBron taking it personally and then taking that out on your team. But that's what LeBron does anyway.  No, no, he's just, that's what he does. He's like a Patrick Beverly, that's his role. But again, you do like it when it's on your team, but when it's not on your team, it's cringy, it's eye rolling. It's awesome.  Are you ever like, I want to hit a shot over this guy? So you take a shot you wouldn't normally take. Wait, so you're saying you don't think LeBron's, I think LeBron remembers it and that he uses that. Maybe it's backfiring for Dylan Brooks, but. No, is that the only time we've seen LeBron and go get 40 points? Like no. I love Dylan Brooks. I'm with you Ian, I think he's hilarious. He's a character. I just love having a villain. The more characters we have. I'm down for that. I like that.  Then you get to watch his antics in addition to the game. I think it makes for a more enriching fan experience. Well, Draymond might be available. No. Yeah, by the way, would you want Draymond on your team? Would you want that smoke in Portland? Not this team. I think it would be a bad experience for both parties if you joined this team, but if it was the Blazers team from 2019, 2018, would love Draymond Green on that team. I mean, he is good at what he does. The, you know, 61 games, he's not suspended. Exactly. I think that's annoying. When's a special come out, Ian? It's gonna come out sometime in June. We don't have an exact date yet, but the special, the book, everything drops at the same time. Good busy month. All right, we appreciate the time so much. Maybe the Troubles would be good in a couple of years and we'll still be on the air and then we can have like a whole big party. Be great. I'll come back to celebrate when it's Cooper Flag, Scoot, and then out. Oh, there it is. I like that for you. All right, we're doing that. It's Tron's watchman. Carmel, we'll be back.  They run it back, y'all, y'all.  Families, we'll start with, well, this just seems rude. Tatum on Murray. Oh, the old bloke. Oh my God, remove his appendix. He's beating him. That's not, the kids not count. Whoa, here's the thing, this is nice, but he dunked on a point card. Did you see his fancy coach watch ad, Jason Tatum's got out? He's like, sassy modeling, yeah. For watches? For watches, please. Better than coach.  Better than coach. What do we have here? Where's the highlight? By the way, it should have gotten its own segment, but Mitchell Robinson's back, y'all. Oh, he is. Oh, and Gabe Vincent possibly coming back this weekend. Don't care as much. Glenn, oh, he plays with a piston. I understand. It makes it. How about, this is two stars, here you go. This was great. And the timing of this was great. Buzzer beating. It forces all the time, come on. I feel like he maybe should want the floater instead of the, Well, I mean, he probably thinks that now too. Yeah, he probably shouldn't want anything other than this. Anything but that. He did this twice, by the way. He did this in regulation and in second overtime. Yeah, ADs on fire. Chet Holmgren. Oh, what's the record? He had a year. Oh, this was nice. Oh, not the two-for-two-hand block. I watched that a few times.  By the way, that dunk was going to be beautiful. He tried to cock it there on him. Excuse me? Don't say it again. He said it the first time. Don't say it again. We ignored him the first time. I didn't get the reaction I wanted the first time. Oh, so you should say it again. Moses. Oh, a Joe Engels victimization. I am not here for this. Oh, no, no. What, he didn't even do anything. He just put it with three in and out in the world. Three in and out burgers. Oh, man. Oh, man. That's not fair. That's crazy. Oh, great. This one's for you. Oh, dear. Chandler. Why? Yeah. Hey. Oh, son. Say that last thing. Hey. Oh, we said this is the last one. I see, but this is a possible three seconds. This is the last one. So, yeah, let me see this again. One, Mr. City. Two, Mr. City. Three, Mr. City. Four, Mr. City. Five. Oh, check, Bob. Bob going the other way. Oh, that was a nice one. Five. Oh, check, Bob. Bob going the other way. That might have been a minute. Uh-huh. You're right. But it looks cool. It's nasty. Well, he's going to keep it. Peyton's second. Oh, dear. Oh, dearness. By the way, if he dunked that, he can't block it. And Steph Curry is part of the clip. I'm going to step it out of the way. I know. Steph thought he was going to dunk it. That's a great business decision, Steph. That's good. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron's second. Quick report. LeBron on Scotty Pippin Jr. Ooh, it's like Inception. Mm. Everything's coming together. Scotty Pippin Jr. Is that court-post to look like this is somewhere. Yeah, we, or something happened to us. Vaudevillian Platinum. I hate it. Platinum is what they call it. I mean, no, I'm sorry, I love it. I don't want Memphis to say it. I actually think they like it. Oh, they like it. You guys. I feel like they did something. You're part of the gang, Natalie and Michelle. They like, Stephia, the video. Memphis is going to get you. They love this show. Oh, this was nasty. Oh! Oh, oh, that's not that's that's uncle Jeff. I hate that. That's uncle Jeff. You can't you can't you don't do that You don't do that and you need to respect or even out of the hash either. So you got it. Yeah, you don't do that Uncle Jeff. Oh my good dear. That was intimate. I don't love that for him. That made me sad That made me sad lose that we've lost Lou for the day. Oh, geez man.  I feel bad watching it over and over and let's stop playing it It seems rude. We'll take a quick break come back a little more run it back in a moment Well, we got some rockets thunder for you. No SGA rockets beat. Okay. See 132 126 in overtime 10 straight, baby Green Green's a new man 37 points nine rebounds seven assists. Why do you look at me when I say that Josh giddy? By the way, we haven't spoken of him lately 31 points. I'm Fire right now. I'm sorry. I didn't do any of these things Chet Holmgren fouled out with nine minutes left in the fourth But I want to throw that in there. It just seemed like a fun stat I don't know what these of the year should not fell out. It's not a great place for Chet Holmgren I'll just go say this show or this game. I'm not a hater if he was any other year I'd be all about Chet. Can we talk about tarry eason who exactly but he's out for the season and he posted a Video last night. No Why would you do this if you're tarry eason because this is not a good He's out this Come out to play like that. It's not like that. This is why why is he doing that? He's putting pressure on some guys that he can't even help he is really doing this This is just a small example of a team. That's just like not that's the key ready When I see that right I speak it fluent I don't hate the the trash talk, but it's just the wrong message But you're not even playing and it's also you're not playing your office season and you you still are currently the 11th you're not you don't know but I mean they are hot. They're hot And I actually like his game too. I may Okay, yes, yes, they capital T Jalen Green Jen Green is hot right now What What are we seeing from Jalen Green is this his star turn officially? We're seeing a lot of points We're seeing them play a different style with sangoon out now. They're playing faster He's got the ball in his hands more and even last night, you know 14 for 24 37 points tennis Ten rebounds that is a complete game and he has had this potential ever since he's been coming up into the draft He has had that star potential He has had a player to possibly build around and now he's showing it without singoon I hope he finds a way to have that attack and that same mindset when he's back because those two together Should be the core of this team for years to come but this has been a great opportunity to me and Lou I always talk about this team is playing loose. They're playing free when singoon went out, especially there was zero Expectations, this is okay. What pick are they gonna get they're out the war the those four teams the Kings Mabs warriors Lakers They're gonna be in the fight They're literally one game behind these guys and the Warriors Is there clearly have a bunch of distraction and a lot of other stuff going on this team's ball right now I know SGA and I is out last night But this is this is the most impressive Streak to me of all this the entire season this with this team winning the games They're sees their schedule has been a little light recently. It's gonna get harder But this is the best team in the Western Conference without their best player fine But they still went on the road and found a way to win a game as a young team I'm excited about it. I think he's found something that works for him confidence wise. He's motivated You know, he's he said publicly. He's motivated by his family and everything that's going on with him And it's in his work and over ten games. He's looked like the Jalen Green that we've all Ya'll can't do this to me. I'm not doing it.  I was screened by myself. I know I know that again Here we go. Yeah, we go. Did you get superpowers when you made a child was made it out. Did you guys get superpowers? Oh, yeah, I did. I did. I remember because he credited You


The population of the earth is currently over 7 billion people. The United Nations estimates the world population will be between 8 and 10 billion by the year 2050. All of these people need to eat. They need clean water to drink. They need fuel. They need materials. And they produce waste.  As population increases, we build more roads, houses, schools, and we install and use more electricity. We heat buildings in cold areas, and we use air conditioning in hot areas. All of these activities need energy. So we burn wood, coal, oil, and natural gas. When we buy and use products, we produce garbage. Garbage may be the old broken products or the packaging. Plastic, batteries, and electronics contain toxic chemicals and metals like chlorine, mercury, and lead. When we put this garbage into the ground, those chemicals may leak into the ground and water. Extracting and burning fuel pollutes our water, air, and soil. Garbage and chemicals pollute our water, air, and soil. We have a very limited amount of fresh water to drink and cook. Water pollution also affects fish. It can kill fish, or the fish may eat the chemicals and plastics, which then go into our bodies when we eat the fish. And we are catching too many fish. We may soon run out of some popular species. So, do we have enough natural resources for 9 billion people? 9 billion shoppers? 9 billion cell phone users? 9 billion drivers? 9 billion hungry people? To make cars and cell phones and computers? We also need metals. Do we have enough steel? Enough copper? Enough gold? Enough aluminum? We mine phosphorus, a mineral, to make fertilizer. Finally, as we burn more fuel, the temperature of the ocean is increasing, and our weather is changing. Many people live in cities on the coast. If the temperature increases, the ice at the north and south poles of the planet will melt. It's already melting. And as the ocean levels rise, many cities, as well as some island nations, may flood. What can we do about these environmental problems? What can we do to manage and share our limited resources? What can we do with the one planet that we all need to live so that our children and grandchildren can also enjoy clean air, clean water, and a good standard of living? This is a challenge for scientists, for governments, and for every one of us.


This video will show you how to develop rule sets using eCognition. You should already have some experience setting up workspaces and projects within the eCognition environment. When you start eCognition, make sure you select rule set mode, then click OK to launch eCognition. For the example, we're going to extract water features from 4 band aerial imagery. This is high resolution 1 meter aerial imagery. As you can see here, the water features are fairly distinct. And prior to building the rule set, we want to think what makes these water features stand out. Well first of all, their spectral characteristics are that they're very dark. Second of all, their geometric characteristics are that they're quite large compared to other features in the scene. So when we build our rule set, which is essentially a knowledge based expert system, we want to transfer this information into a process with an eCognition to automatically extract these features using a combination of segmentation and classification algorithms. And then we want to export our results to a vector feature class so that we can then bring into our GIS software package. After you've set up your eCognition project, you'll want to move to view for the develop rule sets view. This has all the toolbars and windows configured correctly for rule set development. Now I'm going to move over and adjust my image layer mixing because I've have aliases assigned to this project, I can create a color infrared composite by assigning the near infrared, red and green blends to the red, green and blue color guns respectively. You can also play around with the equalizing settings in order to optimize the display. Now we're ready to start developing our rule sets. Over in the process tree, I'm going to right click and choose a pen new. I'm first going to insert a parent process. A parent process is the main process from which all child processes will fall under. The way to think of the rule set is more like a program. And thus having a parent process allows me to execute all subsequent algorithms with one click. So I'll just call this extract water. And then I'll click OK to add the rule to my process tree. Typically the first step in an object based image analysis workflow is to create image objects through a segmentation algorithm. I'll insert a segmentation algorithm by right clicking on the extract water process and choosing insert child. This will insert the segmentation algorithm below the parent extract water process. The first step in the edit process window is to specify the algorithm. I'm going to choose to use the multi resolution segmentation algorithm under the segmentation section. The next is to specify the image object domain. We don't have any image objects so we need to create image objects from the pixel level. So we'll leave pixel level specified under image object domain. We'll leave the other image object domain settings as is and move over to the algorithm parameter setting. We'll choose a new level name for our level and we'll call this level one. Then we can move down to the segmentation settings. I'll expand the image layer weights. Because the blue bands, red green and blue are highly correlated, I'll give a higher weight to the near infrared band. This means when image objects are created, the near infrared band will be twice as important as the visible bands. I'm after larger objects water features, so I'll increase the scale parameter to 40. Finally, moving down to the final composition sections, I'll adjust the shape and compactness settings. The shape settings specify how much the spectral information should be used. You want to leave this as high as possible, so we'll set this at 0.2. Finally is the compactness setting. Water features tend to be rather compact, so we'll raise this to a value of 0.8. It's important not to get wrapped up in the segmentation settings. It's a trial and error process, but no segmentation is ever going to be perfect. Once I've finished setting my settings, I can click OK on the edit process window. To run the algorithm, I'm just going to right click on it and choose execute. The time it took to execute the algorithm will appear in the process tree once it's done running. You can turn on and off the image object outlines by clicking on the show hide image object outlines button. Clicking on the pixel view button will transition between displaying the image pixel values and the mean band values for each image object. Within eCognition, image object attributes are known as features. To display these attributes, you should go down to the image object information window, right click and choose select features to display. eCognition has literally hundreds of features for image objects, but we'll start with some basic ones. The mean band values for the four bands for our aerial image, the blue, green, red, and near infrared values. Double clicking on them will add them to the selected side. Once we click OK, we'll see them displayed in the image object information window. Clicking on an image object will display all the features we recently added to the image object information window. You can use the image object information window to help determine the appropriate threshold value to separate water from other features. We see that water objects typically have much lower near infrared values than the other image objects in the scene. Another useful way for determining the appropriate thresholds is feature view. Feature view provides a mechanism by which to display the values for each features across all objects. You can toggle between feature view and your regular image view using the appropriate buttons in the toolbar. It's a good idea to right click and choose update range together the most recent information about the image objects in your scene. You can then use the threshold bars down below to threshold out specific values. You may want to start by thresholding out lower values and then experiment with thresholding out upper values. By using feature view in combination with the image object information, we can determine the appropriate near infrared threshold for separating out water features from other features in the scene. It looks like a value of 50 will be a good starting point. Now we can insert a rule to classify image objects based on this value. We'll right click on our segmentation algorithm and click on a pen new to insert a new rule in our process tree. Under the algorithm dropdown menu, we'll select assign class. This is a very simple classification algorithm that's used for threshold classification based on image object features. Under the image object domain, we'll leave it as the image object level because we want to classify our image objects. Those image objects are stored on level one, the level we created through segmentation and we'll click on the class filter and choose to only classify those objects that have no classification. For our threshold value, we'll go in and select the mean near infrared properties of each image object. For the threshold condition, we'll say the value is less than 50. This means that all image objects that are unclassified that have a near infrared value of less than 50 will meet our criteria. Next, we'll move over to the algorithm parameters. We have to say the class for which we want our image objects to be classified as if they meet this criteria. We'll enter the term water and press enter. Because we don't currently have a class named water, we'll have to define it. All we need to do here is select the color, we'll choose blue, and then click OK to create the class. Once we've created the class, you'll see it appear on the right in the class description window. Finally, we can click OK to add our new algorithm to the process tree. When the assigned class algorithm is executed, all image objects that have a mean near infrared value of less than 50 will be assigned to the water clause. To see the objects that were classified, we'll click on the view classification button, and then we can toggle on and off the image object outlines, or choose to display transparent, or solid color image object outlines to better understand the results of our classification. As has been mentioned before, the process tree is a linear workflow, and thus executing an algorithm for a second time will often result in errors. For example, if we choose to run the assigned class algorithm again, we receive the domain is empty error. This is because this assigned class algorithm said anything that's unclassified with a mean near infrared value of less than 50 gets assigned to the class water. Well, we've run that algorithm already, and we've classified image objects as water, so there are no more unclassified image objects that meet this criteria. One of the best practices for generating rule sets is to have a reset function at the beginning of your rule set. By using the delete levels algorithm, you can remove all existing image object levels. This has the effect of essentially giving you a blank slate, resetting your project, so that your rule set can execute from start to finish without incident. The delete image object level algorithm simply deletes the image object level. This includes all objects, and the classification associated with those objects. Now when we execute our extract water parent process, it will execute each and every single algorithm beneath it. It will start off by deleting the image object levels, it will then perform the multi-resolution segmentation, and then finally it will classify those image objects to the water class based on the mean near infrared values for each image object. Although our classification has been largely successful, if we zoom into some of the residential areas, we notice that shadows, which have very low near infrared values, have been mistakenly classified as water. Now these shadowed areas don't have any spectral characteristics that allow us to distinguish them from water, but their geometric characteristics are very different. Specifically, they're much smaller. So let's go over to the image object information window, right click, and choose select features to display, and let's add some geometric attributes. We can find the geometric features located under the object features section. Under the object features section we'll scroll down to expand geometry, and then within geometry we'll expand extent to get the area feature. We'll double click it to add it to the selected features, and click OK to add it to our image object information window. Now when we click on an image object we see that its area has been displayed. Our water polygons are currently comprised of numerous objects. That's in order to use the area threshold most effectively, we'll need to merge our water objects. In our process tree we'll click a pen new to add a new algorithm. Under the algorithms dropdown menu we're going to scroll down to the basic object reshaping section and choose merge region. We want to merge image objects in the image object level level 1. Providing they meet the water classification. So we'll select the water class. We'll leave all other settings as they are and click OK to add this process to our process tree. When we right click the merge region algorithm and click execute you'll see that the boundaries between our water objects break down. However, all other image objects remain unchanged. This is because water was the only class used in the merge region image object domain. Now that we've merged our water objects we can append a new rule to assign all those image objects that belong to the water class that fall below our area threshold to a new class. So we'll use the assign class algorithm and specify water as the only image objects in our image object domain. For our threshold value we'll use an area threshold based on the number of pixels. We'll say any water objects that have less than 10,000 pixels should be assigned to this new class. We'll call our new class shadow. We'll give that class a color and then we'll click OK to add it to our class hierarchy. By executing this assign class algorithm all water objects with an area less than 10,000 pixels are assigned to the shadow class. Moving over to the residential section where we had the water confusion before we see that those objects that were previously classified as water now appear yellow. And we've done this without accidentally classifying any of those lakes and ponds that we have in our scene as shadows. So this rule executed successfully. Zooming into some of our water objects shows that we still have one lingering problem and that is we have image objects on the edge of these water objects that don't have very low near infrared values. As a result, they were not classified as water. The only way to successfully classify these image objects is based on their context. So in our image object information window we'll go to select features display and we'll add some context features. These appear under class related features. We'll go to relations to neighbor objects and choose relative border to. A new relative border to feature for water. This feature specifies for each image object what percent of its border is adjacent to a water object. When we examine the properties of these image objects we fail to classify as water we see that their near infrared value is generally less than 100. We also see that they typically share more than 50% of their border with an existing classified water object. We also see there are lots of other dark objects out there, shadows from trees but these don't nearly have as great a border with the water objects. Our first step in remedying this situation is going to be to use the assign class algorithm. We want to focus on only those image objects that have not yet been assigned a classification. So we'll specify unclassified for the image object domain. Our first threshold is going to be based on near infrared values. We want to make sure that we're not assigning just any image objects to this class. We want to focus on those that are relatively dark. So we'll use a mean near infrared value of less than 100. Our second threshold is going to be based on context. We want to say that only those objects that have a mean near infrared value of less than 100 and have more than 50% of their border shared with a water object can be assigned to the new class. We'll call the new class mistwater and we'll make it a very bright green color. When we execute the assign class algorithm we see that it has the intended effect and that those image objects that we failed to classify as water before are now assigned to the mistwater class. As a final step we'll insert a grow region algorithm. The grow region algorithm will grow the existing water objects into these mistwater objects. The image object domain will specify the class filter as water. Over in the algorithm parameters will specify the candidate classes as mistwater. What the grow region algorithm does is it grows all image objects from the image object domain into the candidate classes. So this will grow water objects into mistwater objects. We see when we execute it that the mistwater objects have been consumed by the water objects. The final step in our rule set will be to export the image objects classified as water to a vector layer that we can then use in our GIS software packages. So we'll append a new algorithm. We'll scroll all the way down and choose the export vector layer algorithm. We'll make sure that we don't want to specify all image objects. We only want to export those for our class of interest which are water. So we'll specify water in the image object domain. We'll give an output name for our water shape file. We'll call it water polys. We'll make sure that we change the shape type to polygons. And we'll choose to smooth the image object outlines. You'll want to periodically save your project which will save the state of the project and the associated rule set. But even more important, especially when you're done developing your rule set is to right click in the process tree and choose save rule set. Save your rule set independently of the project for use later on. You can use parent processes as subcontainers as a way to organize and document your rule set. Right clicking and dragging an algorithm to another process will insert it beneath that process. To put an algorithm in line with another algorithm, simply left click and drag it on top of that algorithm. As you can see the parent processes give structure and organization to our rule set. Now that our rule set is complete, we can execute it from start to finish by running the parent process and this will include exporting the final results to a shape file. The shape file will appear in a result sub folder located in the same location where we saved our eCognition project to. In this video we showed you how to create rule sets within the eCognition environment. We used a fairly simple set of rules to extract water features from high resolution imagery in a way that couldn't be done using traditional pixel based classifiers.


Alright, note to self, if you're doing oil based paints, and it's not consistently above 70 degrees, 70 degrees, and if it is a moist day, this stuff is going to take forever to dry. Look at that. It's still tacky and wet kind of, well not wet, but just sticky, so this thing is going to take all day to dry. So because we got some sticky paint here, I'm not sure if we can access part of this today to weld in some supports for the panels up top, so we will let you know shortly. But I'm literally wearing the same thing in every single photo I feel like, because I just keep wearing the same work clothes, so every day you try to carry these people probably think we filmed it all in one day. That imitates life, he never changes his clothes by the way. Okay, so here's the update. This is a couple days later, it rained like crazy up here yet again, so we're going to mount the panels. Are you doing a DIY on this one? Yeah, I'm going to do a DIY. That's right, because he has kind of a proprietary installation thing. Yeah, some of it's going to be like more of a full complete, super, super in-depth, and then I am doing a YouTube video on more of the basics of kind of how to think through mounting your panels. So, we're just going to talk about mounting. I'll just show you the brackets, you're going to have to click and pay this dude if you want all the detailed information, but we're using, I think like I said in the previous day, we're using some like table brackets, or what are those things called? Hinges. Hinges. What are they? Fence hinges. Yeah, hinges. We're just going to, you know, secure them in place. The ones we got with AM Solar, super high quality little L brackets. The school bus is on the side, tilt quite a bit, you know, and so we didn't want to have the panels like at such an extreme angle, so we're trying to raise it up a bit to make it a bit more flat. You don't have to, that's what we're choosing to do, that's why we're going through all this. Also a quick update, we're having a hard time getting things delivered here, and so it's a little frustrating when you order something on Amazon and then it never processes, and then I think one thing got delivered and then sent back because the people at the post office didn't know I was using Campground Host Brad's address, stuff like that, so it had a couple little issues. So I can't stress enough, if anyone wants to do vegetable oil, get a hold of Nate, and I put his information on a previous video, I'll probably put on this one, Nategun22edgmail.com. Huge help. I ordered from a veggie oil company, I think they're going out of business, I didn't know it, they didn't tell me, it's been a freaking nightmare. Thanks if you see this for the discount, but it's been a really like giant pain in my butt, trying to get help, there's no help whatsoever, trying to get the parts, now we're like on the second week waiting for bolts or something, and they never told me, and I don't know, I just got a funny feeling about them, so Nate, get a hold of Nate if you want to do this, because he will walk you through the whole thing, 200 bucks for one year, I just had to give him a plug because he's been helping me so much. Anyways, let's pick up where we left off. So for all the people asking me why Canada, what'd you do there, how is it, is it hard to order parts, whatever if you're curious, yeah, it's a little hard to order parts, but I came up here for badge, I think everybody knows that by now for his generous offer to help us do the vegetable oil, so it was definitely worth it for that, but you know, we're having a good laugh about it earlier, he's like welcome to Canada, and we're just laughing because you can get things delivered to Amazon like same day up here, it's like a week later if you're lucky. We're not going to do, I'm not going to do a complete thing of what we're doing, because what we're doing is a little bit advanced, where essentially bolting in the panels or the brackets into the bus, and the reason we're doing that is because we have the entire bus stripped out, so if you ever need to replace the panel for some reason, we'll just take it off here, but these bolts will stay pretty much forever, and so this isn't like the typical way that you would install these solar panels, look at how beautiful these things are by the way, but if you do a complete gut of your bus, I recommend to do this, so hop on over to Navigation Nowhere's video for that. Now if you're just going to add panels to an existing bus, if you haven't taken out the roof, the best way to do this is to find these rivet marks. In between the rivet marks, there's about a quarter inch to about a half an inch piece of metal, as long as you follow this rivet, but maybe about a half inch, as long as you follow this rivet, you will drill into an additional layer of metal, okay? This part is hollow, don't drill into that, drill into this part and make the front brackets, these ones, sideways, so mount them on the front or the back, I recommend doing the front ones because that's the one that hits the wind, right? So mount the front ones sideways, and then you can do the long ones, long lines, and you can get at least one of the brackets to screw into this, so then you have three out of four per side, and that's pretty good, that's good enough, then of course put your die core over it, take off the adhesive mount, right, so you have a little additional stickiness, but this way is a little bit advanced, so I'll leave the advanced stuff to the advanced guy, which is Mike Navigation Nowhere. What's up, badge? You know what I just totally realized? We didn't do any sort of a time-lapse B-roll, but we got almost all of the panels mounted, we're just working on this one. The included brackets are not these, we actually picked these up, I think I mentioned that, the other ones look like this that come in the kit, I had them on the last one and they work really well, but because the skylight is so massive, it puts these things, it's such a tilt, and also we have this funny lip here from the the handicap door, and such a big space, so we didn't want to tilt them like super crazy, because what happens is at 90 degree angles, it starts to, well it goes straight up from the roof, so 90 degrees, you know, would be sticking out that way, 90 degrees would be sticking up a bit more that way, and so it's kind of hard to get them to fit properly when you mount them on the sides, if you mount them on the front, there's no issue whatsoever, and like I said, if you do mount them on the front, get into where the rivets are and mount them like this sideways, so that's why we're doing these big ones, and why we have bolts, and not using the stuff they gave us, because this bus is 100% custom, so not everything has got to fit, right Mike? 100% custom? Yep. Oh no, I don't know what I'm doing. Alright, you guys ready for the big reveal? This is the Tornado Proof Solar Panel Bracket install. Just a simple little, I forget what these things are called, but it is a type of washer, nylon nut, bolt, and we are drilling out the mounts, I don't have a regular mount on me, but we drilled out the mounts to fit, got mount right there, little tiny mount, just brought it into the bus, and there's no reason to take these things off. This all will be spray foam, so like I said, if you are, if you follow the rivets, like I said up top, the rivets are right in here, and that goes into this beam, this beam goes up and then goes this way, so that is the ideal way to screw it in, if you are not stripping out your bus, if you are adding a panel, if you are making a little upgrade, so yeah, just go sideways in the front, totally secure, had them on my last bus, not one problem. The problem is, if you just use a metal screw and a sheet metal, that's not the best way to do it, and if you have high enough winds, it'll just strip it right out, those are little screws. If you don't believe me, hit up steampunk Steve, or nematic fanatic, they can tell you all about putting screws right into sheet metal, which actually makes me guess if I'm correct with my statement, because I know Steve did lose a panel, and I think he, I think that's what he did.


Ukrainian prisoners are forced to dig trenches and mass graves for Russian soldiers. Russia is going to build dozens of prisons to hold both military and civilian Ukrainians. Associated Press reported it with reference to the government document that the agency has at its disposal. The outlet notes that thousands of Ukrainian civilians are held in a network of official and unofficial prisons throughout Russia and in the territories it occupies where they are subjected to torture, psychological abuse and even slave labour. Russia plans to build dozens more such prisons. The agency spoke with numerous people including two Ukrainian intelligence officials, 20 former detainees, former prisoners of war, families of more than a dozen detained civilians and a government negotiator. Their statements along with satellite images, social media, official records and copies of letters handed out by the Red Cross indicate a widespread Russian system of detention and mistreatment of civilians that is blatantly in violation of the Geneva Conventions. The agency says the abuse includes repeated electric shocks, beatings leading to cracks in the skull and broken ribs as well as simulated strangulation. Every form of prisoner interviewed by the agency said torture was a constant occurrence with many reporting witnessing deaths. At the same time Russia does not recognize the fact it is imprisoning civilians. Some prisoners are used for slave labour in digging trenches for Russian soldiers and mass graves. The prisoners serve as future bargaining chips in exchanges for Russian soldiers although international law forbids the exchange of civilians for prisoners of war, the agency notes.


Oh this guy's pissed man. I just seen No, you resisted boy plague. Not good. Oh my god. The army is coming man. All right. Let's go No It was this army of hunters that just chasing me across the map


live from the Colored Valley Cook Kitten. Sometimes we do live videos even if we might make a mistake. So y'all stay with us. We are making today instead of apple fritters after our in our fourth cookbook we're going to use bananas instead of apples and just replace the fruit with a banana. We got this recipe out of a 1927 cookbook a couple of years ago did a video and got over two million views so we're going to get started this morning. First thing we're going to do is we're going to open up this ripe banana and you know bananas are already sweet. If you're going to use apples you need to add sugar and butter and doctor them up a little bit because it makes them taste really good but a banana is super delicious and sweet just like it is. So the banana is going to be the sugar in these fritters besides the glaze that goes on the top. Just a little bit more banana because that ain't a whole lot not a lot but a little bit get that little black place off of it. There's another one and this is going to be really good really good okay. Now the original recipe back in 1927 did not have cinnamon in it believe it or not but of course in my cookbook I tell you to use cinnamon, sugar, and those apples and boy they are delicious y'all. So you can make apple fritters if you've got an apple at home you're going to need two apples. This is a cup of all-purpose white lily flour. We're going to use the flour we're going to use a half teaspoon of cinnamon and cinnamon's always good with bananas. We're going to use a third cup of milk a little vanilla and the only sugar going in here is from the banana but we are going to use an egg and I got this egg from my chickens this morning and when I did I actually cracked it a little bit so we're going to use this egg because it needs to be used. It's a big one. I was a big mama hand. Put that egg in there. I'm actually going to use this fork so I think it would do good mixing all of this together. Now if you look over here to the right we've got some oil getting warm on our burner. You want to go ahead and preheat it so that it's ready. It's a nice big egg. It made a difference in that batter. All right we're going to add a few pecans and the bananas. Boy don't this look delicious today. Me and Chris are going to have us a nice late breakfast. So we're going to mix this up together. I've come a little bit of a way since making the apple fritters so I think this is going to be a much better video and not as chaotic I'm hoping. All right so we're going to go ahead before we drop a fritter and we're going to mix up our icing real quick okay. So what you're going to need is a cup. I can't remember it's a half cup of powdered sugar I put in here. It's a cup of powdered sugar and then three tablespoons of milk. Oh I forgot to put a dash of salt in my batter. We're going to have to put that in there. I'm glad I saw that would sit in there and then what else goes in here? Vanilla. So what we're going to do instead of drizzling it over the top of the fritters I'm actually going to dip them in here for the glaze. It should be pretty thin like that for a doughnut or a fritter. All right we're ready. We're ready to drop. Drop and dip are y'all ready?  Oh I forgot. Thank you Chris. Let's stir up that salt a little bit. Somebody's got a good anything is good if it's got sweet. Put a little bit of salt in it okay. If you don't believe me buy a little Debbie or something in the store that tastes so good and look it's got plenty of sodium in it. All right because this flour was all purpose. Oh I didn't put baking powder in here. Lord I about forgot the baking powder. How much is it? One and a half teaspoons. We might need that to get them to fluff up since this is all purpose flour. Lord? Go get them in that grease in a minute. Don't hurry. My grease is nice and warm I'm pretty sure. Is it? Yeah. All right here we go. We're gonna draw. Now we did learn before that you don't want to make them super matter of fact I might do these a little bit different this time. You don't want them to be super thick but probably wouldn't hurt to let out a little batter at a time. It'll be an interesting shape. Yeah I must like a funnel cake. Yeah but you don't want them to be super thick so you don't want to just drop the whole spoonful in there at one time like I did the time I made them before because you want them to be done in the middle. They're definitely tough enough aren't they? Yeah they look good too. And you're only gonna drop about three at a time. You don't want to overcook them but you definitely want them to be done. So I love this shallow stainless steel pan to cook in stuff like this. You just have to kind of let them sit.  You want them to sit in there for a minute and cook so that the inside is not doughy. All right so I think we got a really good temperature. Should be about 350-360 degrees. I have no idea what the temperature on this oil is because it's on top of my stone top. I haven't got a little brown. I see that one was a little thicker so it touched the bottom of the pan. I'll try not to do the rest of them that way. We're gonna go ahead and take this one out. You make two. We're gonna take it out. Whoops I think I'm gonna take it out. I'm just gonna let it sit there for a second and then we're gonna dip it in some powder in our glaze. It's like looking at clouds. You just see all kind of animals and shapes. All right let's go ahead and dip these two in here. Okay. I'll just get you some good old glaze. Put them down in there. Get them soaking wet. I'll let them sit here just for a second to get some of the grease, you know, to make sure that it's just not swimming in grease when I stick it in my glaze. And you can double glaze them if you want to. No Chris would want me to. Boy them look delish. They're gonna be really good. All right here we go again. This is fun.  And who cares if they're little. Might all add a little bit to this one. They smell so good. Let's take this little baby one dip it and taste it. Y'all be hundreds of good in there too. Now you can use strawberries. I know they're in season. You could use blueberries. The main thing is no matter what kind of fruit you use, whether it's apple or blueberries or strawberries, you have to put some sugar in that fruit. So like I said bananas are already so sweet that I didn't have to add sugar. But if you're going to use strawberries or blueberries or apples, you're gonna have to add a little sugar. And you can even cook the fruit a little bit. If you're using apples, I would. Now not blueberries because they make a mess if you try to cook them. And it tells you how to do it on the recipe and by before it tells you how to get the apples ready. All right we're gonna glaze this one. This one's so bad I don't know for sure if it got done in the middle. Make sure the outside of it's good. All right let's flip these. That one looks kind of like a curl. Like a donut curl on it. Now this grease is perfect because it's not getting them to brown. They're not sitting on the bottom so I made them the perfect size. And as you do this you'll get better at it. Okay because the first time I made them if you go back and watch that video, mine were kind of round balls. Okay so these are more like you wanted to be. And I can tell by the way these are I really think before we dip them in the glaze because this seemed to make the keep them from being as crispy. I think before we dip them in the glaze we should let them sit here for about five minutes and then dip them. The glaze is wet. They're gonna get a nice glaze on them no matter. Or you could pour the glaze on them if you wanted to pour them. Yeah but I really think they should sit out and get a little crispy before we glaze them. You think it's better by experience the more you do it the better you get at it. You'll notice some of our oil has disappeared because it's on the fritters. I don't want to add anymore so I'm just gonna try to make these super thin. That's a pretty good bit of fritters for just a cup of flour isn't it? Yes it is plenty. I wouldn't try to half this recipe because it's just got one egg in it. So just make them and eat them. Make them and eat them. I'll hold theirs to it. Now a lot of people in that first video ask if they could bake them as I remember. Oh in the air fryer or in the oven? Yeah they ask if they could cook them you know without not in the grease. I just don't think it would work myself. I mean you can always try it but this is a very wet batter. You could put them on parchment and try to bake them but you couldn't like put them in the air fryer that's got holes in it or that it would seat down in the holes. Yeah. Biscuits even tend to do that if you're not careful. Yeah and they're way thicker than this. Yeah the biscuits. It says I'm going. See I'm letting them cool down just a little bit before I dip them. Let's flip these around. See how they're looking. So y'all tell us if your mother made these kind of fritters when you were growing up. Man this is an easy dessert that's super delicious. I noticed in a lot of restaurants now they're making doughnuts and different things for people as little desserts and people are buying them. Funnel cakes yeah. Yeah and little doughnuts they make those little doughnuts and people really love them and they're not that hard to make at home. Now let's see. Yeah these are a lot crunchy. These are.  Gonna taste good. I'm gonna dip one more and I guess we're gonna go because y'all can see them how pretty they are in our grease. How easy it was to make. Um we'll go ahead and dip this one right here. You're just gonna put it down in that glaze and that one's nice and crunchy. I noticed the browner they are the crunchier they are and then if you want to double dip here's a double dip. That's when we dipped earlier you can always go back and double dip. Yummy they look delicious. Hey I want to taste them. Oh all right let's let Chris taste them because you know how I like sweets.  Man those are good. I've never had banana. I've never had anything fried like this with banana on it. Well people fry bananas a good bit and love them. It's awesome. It blows the banana fritters out of the water. You said it blows the banana fritters out of the water. It does.  It blows the apple fritters out of the water by far. I mean they're awesome. He likes them better than the apple. I'm gonna eat all of them. But now listen if we had doctored up those apples and not done the original recipe they would have been better too. That's true because they weren't very sweet. Right. And everybody was asking why don't you put them you know because we were trying to go by the original recipe. Right. So these are the doctored up ones for you guys today. Yes. In modern times like me. And remember that when I put it in the cookbook I did doctored up the apples a little bit. You can see we put butter and cinnamon and sugar and so they're a little more doctored up in that volume four cookbook. So what we want you to do is if you've never watched colored valley cooks we want you to hit that like and subscribe button.  They're cheaper through our Shopify store. And they're more convenient through Amazon but they cost more because we have to pay them in order to sell them through Amazon. Y'all have a wonderful day. And we thank you so much for watching colored valley cooks where we cook like our mama's dead. We'll see you next time. Love you.
