Ladies and gentlemen style of mind welcome back today. Today. I want to talk a little bit about my nutrition I am on the goal for the shreds life. I am on the mission for aesthetics So I'm watching my nutrition a little bit if you haven't I suggest all of you track your food for I don't know six months Maybe even a year to just start to understand how your body reacts to different nutrition macro nutrient ratios as well as Just starting to learn it's something we never learned in school and we don't learn grown up What type of calories are in each food and the best way to do that is to track it before you eat it And I did that for so long So now we're kind of going on more of more of an intuitive route kind of just going by feel because I know pretty much What I eat where and we want to talk about fast food eating today a little bit of convenient eating and then even some of the Things that I might make or do at home again. I don't have a strict calories right now I kind of go by feel depending on how hard my training is how I'm looking how I'm weighing But generally speaking I'd say I'm trying to eat anywhere from 200 250 carbs Anywhere from 50 to maybe 80 grams of fat and anywhere from 200 to maybe 200 grams of protein a day Some of the favorite things I like to eat is probably high high priority on the list Chick-fil-a So we're gonna dig into that in a second.  So they ship out meals that are generally high protein Moderate carb and low-ish fat. You just throw them in the microwave for a little bit. They're pretty fresh They only last about five days. So Not not like over preserved or anything and those taste delicious and they're also very convenient when I'm at home When I'm on the road or I'm traveling about Videos gyms, whatever might be You know obviously some like Chick-fil-a or Chipotle it might be easier to drive through eat on the way So most people you know you think fast food you think even Chipotle Chick-fil-a you think you know unhealthy or garbage food And and there are a lot of unhealthy unhealthy options there But you can always cut back on the calories depending on the choices you make everything's about Moderation balance and what you eat throughout, you know, not only just one meal But a day a week a month a year those calories those macronaturant breakups is what's gonna matter So you can make better choices no matter where you go You know simple things like if you're eating out you do salad with a dressing on the side Instead of getting a burger and french fries you get a burger and a salad or a burger and some steamed veggies on the side You're always asking your waitress to not put butter on your veggies or whatever little things like that is very simple tweaks Not necessarily changes so you have to you know be a little hermit in your house Eating salads and tilapia all day alone To look a little bit better to lose a little bit of fat and gain a little bit of muscle You can be social and just tweak how you order in which you order So when I go to Chick-fil-A, I have a pretty balanced meal Some people do a good job of maybe having more of a calorie dense meal or junkier meal You know dinner and healthier lunch and breakfast Or lower calorie breakfast and lunch for me I like to balance each meal a little bit with my cars protein and fat And so at Chick-fil-A what I like to do is they have grilled nuggets, which are absolutely delicious It is literally just grilled chicken. I do a little bit of barbecue sauce But I normally get two eight count there So there's just a good amount of protein a hair of fat and maybe a Sprinkle a dash of carbohydrates from maybe some stuff that they cook it with or who knows what I don't I'm not even sure But we'll give you all the macronutrient breakdown at the end and then because you can't go to Chick-fil-A and get not get the real deal I just get a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Yes, it's fried. Yes, it has some carbs and bread But because these the the grilled nuggets are so low in fat I get a little bit of fat from that and it tastes delicious I tend to get kind of my veggies and fruits in in the morning and then my veggies and fruits in at night And lunch is midday when I'm kind of jamming away at emails or content or streaming or working out I tend to eat a little bit more like this on the road. So basic Chick-fil-A sandwich, you know The the the fried one the delicious one. They also have a grilled one depending on you know If I maybe I wanted to do you know the fried nuggets and do a grilled sandwich You can always you know balance things out like that but the the regular sandwich is 41 carb 20 grams of fat or so and about 30 grams of protein. So overall not too much again a little bit higher in the fat and Then the nuggets According to my fitness pal and this may be accurate, you know everything's not perfect But if you're not trying to step on stage and you're just kind of trying to lean out or live a healthier life You could easily estimate with these for all 16 nuggets is about 70 grams of protein And basically about grant five grams of fat and nothing else So I do use a little bit of barbecue sauce so you can kind of estimate these you know anywhere 10 carbs or less barbecue sauce does have some sugar in it, but it is delicious and for some reason I love their barbecue sauce in particular if I am at home out of convenience, you know I do just do the bite meals I'll either do one or two depending on how hungry I am a majority of them vary from maybe 500 To around 700 calories or so which is a full meal for most people But sometimes I'm extra hungry and I'll just eat two or three big meals a day rather than snacking out But if I'm actually gonna cook I'll do some kind of lean meat I might do some type of a steak some type of chicken chicken thigh and normally just some type of veggie I keep kind of my carbs, especially when I'm dieting like right now I like to keep them to more voluminous or more micronutrient So I keep it in my veggies or I eat a lot of fruit so whether it's apples peaches Whatever I have around one out of convenience to it's a good snack three gets you some of those fiber And micronutrient so with my main course dinners just a bunch of veggies broccoli asparagus maybe some kind of peppers Even artichokes things of that nature things that fill up my stomach Maybe in a big salad and then the lean protein to go on the side to keep me satiated big thing while you're dieting is yes You will have cravings. Yes, sometimes you will be hungry But you can based on your food choices You can eat a little bit more food and still get less calories right the calories you get from three slices of bacon Compared to the volume you get from there is a lot different than a full salad with a little bit of chicken or fish on top Another thing I love to eat if I do go eat out and sit down is sushi Sushi something that you can order and it can be very calorie dense if you're getting all these fried rolls with sauces and all these things Or it could be very very Healthy or or less calories and protein dense if you just do some tuna some fish Maybe a little bit of edamame and a little bit of rice something like that And so I love eating sushi I love going to different restaurants and still being able to be social hang out with my friends and eat well So like I said buying things in bulk is a super easy way if you do like to meal prep I personally don't I'm lucky enough with my schedule that I can eat this way and I can kind of go meal by meal But if you have a nine to five or you like to be a little bit more organized a lot of people Buy in bulk cook in bulk and something very simple as chicken thigh It's a little bit fatter than chicken breasts, but often a little bit more flavorful And the macronutrient breakdown still pretty good for about eight ounces of chicken thigh For about eight ounces of chicken thigh you can still get about 50 grams of protein In just about 10 grams of fat then you can add any kind of veggie you want It'll always depend on your body weight your experience how much muscle you have how much cardio and activity you're doing on how many calories You need obviously to lose weight And then you'll have to eat your portion size depending on that and that's why I do suggest everybody tracks their food But for me like I said I've tracked for a long time I can kind of go by feel so I like to eat bigger portions of proteins of 10 12 ounces of chickens not a big deal for me and then the veggies are the same thing Yes, you have to track your veggies if you're dieting all calories do count You'll just be able to eat more veggies And get less calories involved rather than if you're eating Cereal or ice cream or something like that right you'll be able to eat a Craft ton of asparagus to get 500 calories worth of asparagus compared to 500 calories worth of ice cream That's kind of the point and that's why I like to eat veggies one I'm looking up my palate likes a good amount of green veggies But hopefully you can find a couple vegetables couple fruits that you enjoy to mix in there because micronutrients are important as well Again, I am sponsored by bite meals But it is one of the most convenient ways to stay on your nutrition and easily track your food because they all come with higher protein meals One of my favorite that they make is the chicken Alfredo.  Although it's a hundred degrees outside Check out bite meals if you guys are interested They have a subscription model meals are about eight dollars a piece when you break it down Which is actually fairly good considering I spent 12 or 15 bucks at Chipotle prayer pretty often link is in the bio trick-fil-a You don't sponsor me, but I love you either way Hopefully you guys have a great week. Hopefully you enjoyed this video Give it a thumbs up silent like new videos Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Saturday Sunday I'm twitching almost every day I can link in the bio as well. Catch you guys in the next one


Okay, welcome back to the next talk, pioneering the future of computing education and please welcome from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Ben Nuttel. Hi everyone, thanks for coming to the talk. I hope you're enjoying your Python as much as I am. It's great to be here. So I'm from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, my name is Ben Nuttel. I'm a developer and I work in on the education team as well, so I'm responsible for the website, the Raspberry Pi website. I do other development work and writing educational material and I do outreach and talks and things like that. So what is Raspberry Pi? So I've got one here. So it's a single board computer that runs Linux from an SD card. It has USB ports and HDMI. The idea is you just plug it into your TV, plug in a mouse and keyboard and program and you can use it as a normal desktop computer to a certain extent. So why Raspberry Pi? So why did they come up with this device? The thing is, this is a BBC microcomputer and the idea of this was that you would plug it into your TV and you would get a programming environment straight away and that's exactly what the Raspberry Pi was supposed to be. So the thing is, we used to have computers like that that you could program. Now we have computers like this that you can just, it's just a magic box and it just works. You wave your hands around and things happen.  As great as that is, that technology, we're not learning how to make these things, we're just learning how to use them. So the Raspberry Pi is a foundation, it's a UK charity, has a board of trustees that manages its direction and there are two sides of it, like any, like most charities they kind of split into two at some point. There's a trading company, so that's The Engineers, it's run by Evan Upton. That's a bunch of people who bring in money, they make money, they give it to us and we spend it. I'm on the foundation side, that's the fun side. So we hire ex-teachers, we hire developers who want to work on the educational material and as I say, we spend the money that The Engineers bring in. So this is the foundation, it was set up in 2009 by a group of people at Cambridge University. They were trying to essentially make a modern day BBC micro, something you just plug in and you would get originally just going to be a Python prompt at the boot. So you'd plug it into your TV, you'd have a Python prompt, you'd have a keyboard, it would just be learning programming in a basic environment. As you can see there's a few examples of the prototypes there, the one on the right here. That was almost like a USB stick, kind of a size device. That was just USB one side, HDMI the other side and it was just going to be a programming environment with Python. The one in the middle, Ebonis holding, was a sort of prototype of a whole single board computer which eventually became the one on the right there, which is the original Raspberry Pi model B. And in that time, the entire foundation's mission was just to get the board into production, make it a reality. And then from 2012, to the beginning of 2012 when the Raspberry Pi went on sale and they had 10,000 Raspberry Pi's waiting to be bought, they sold 100,000 on the first day, so it was a little bit more, there's a lot more interest than was anticipated. And that was just from having a WordPress blog saying, yeah, we're going to make this cool thing, it's going to do Python and it will teach kids code. A lot of people are saying, hey, this is really cool, they're going to make a $35 computer, I want one of those and they'll try to get one. I was there at that time trying to order a Raspberry Pi on the 29th of February, the leap day year in 2012. And so we had Evan going round in this first sort of year, year or two, going around giving talks, telling people about what Raspberry Pi was about. We had Liz, who was managing the blog and Twitter and doing a great job of promoting everything we were trying to do at the time. We announced the new model, which was an anticipated new development, the model A, so that was the cheaper, less powerful version of the original Raspberry Pi, so it's just the same with only one USB and without ethernet. We had Clive Beal join the team, he's the guy on the end here. He sort of formed the first sort of iteration of the foundation's educational team. He went round giving talks about how you can use Raspberry Pi in school. We had some funding from Google who wanted to push these devices into schools around the UK, and we have a whole load of those that we've been giving out to schools. We also brought out the first official product to add on product for the Raspberry Pi, the camera module, and then there was a second iteration of that with the infrared filter removed, the Pi Noir, as that was something people were asking for. And then also in, I think it was late 2012, we moved production of all the Raspberry Pi's from China to the UK, so we were really kind of proud to be able to say all the Raspberry Pi's you buy now are made in one factory, one Sony factory in Wales in the UK. And then after the Raspberry Pi became available, and it was out there in the wild, this whole community just came out of nowhere, and it was a real kind of amalgamation of everything from the existing hackers who were already used to these kind of dev boards but paying a lot more money for them, people like myself who are programmers and attending user groups and really interested in the tech community that way, and a whole host of people in between, and there was all these new kids, parents, teachers, all trying to get involved in what Raspberry Pi was about. All these books and magazines start sprouting up loads of things on Kickstarter trying to further it, loads of add-on boards, people were doing robotics and all sorts of things, and there were all these other, all these people out there just making things with Raspberry Pi, and our blog was just full of these amazing projects, there were, there's a guy sending them into space to take pictures of the earth as you can see there, absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend you go and check his stuff out, he's called Dave Ackerman, if you search for Pi in the sky, you'll find a lot of cool stuff. There was a load of, this is just an example, a load of robotics projects and all sorts of things people were doing with Raspberry Pi's early on, so then from 2014 onwards, this is a point where, okay, we've sold an awful lot of these things, we've got a lot of money coming in, they'd originally said we weren't going to do sort of teacher training and education material, we're going to leave that to the community, but we got to a point where we're in a position where we can actually do a lot of that. So what have we done so far this year? So we brought out this, this is the industrial version of the Raspberry Pi, it's the industrial compute module, it's a Raspberry Pi in the form factor of a RAM chip, so it's a sodium connector, it slots into a dev board like this, and you use this as a prototype of your industrial product. That's a really, really cheap and very accessible dev board that you can get there that will fund, you know, the money comes in to us and that will be used to fund the educational mission of the charity. We hit a major milestone recently and we announced three million sales of Raspberry Pi's, which is really cool, and just last week, we announced the Model B+, the first upgrade to, the second upgrade, should I say, to the original Raspberry Pi, it's got extra USB ports, extra GPIO pins, it now has 40, it's got improved power, power consumption, so we use less power and it deals with that a lot more sensibly. We move the composite for an analog TV onto the headphone jack, so it's just there on the one side and it now takes a micro-OSD card and the best thing about this is that the price is the same, it's still $35, so most notably about, you know, sort of specific related to this talk is that we formed an education team this year, so I joined at the end of 2013, Clive was already there, this is Karyan, Karyan Philbin, who's the author of one of the books that I mentioned that the community brought out, she's the next teacher as is Clive and we've got a couple of other guys who are in the same sort of mix of background, one was a teacher, another was a developer like myself, we're coming together now and doing a lot of things, so we've got Pycademy, which is our teacher training course that we now run, we do about one every month or two at the moment, so we invite teachers to apply and it's free CPD for teachers and it's now open to teachers around the world, they come in for two days training of getting used to all the different things you can do with the Raspberry Pi in the classroom and helping them overcome any problems they've had, classroom logistics, that kind of thing, and get them introduced to it in a nice kind of way that they all realize they're in the same boat and that they can get over these problems. And I was hired to take on the website, so previously we just had a simple blog just showing the information of what people were doing with Raspberry Pi's around the world, all the projects that we could find, curated that all on our blog, which was fantastic in content, but what we really needed was all the stuff this new website brought, so we now have educational resources on the website, we have help guides on all that kind of thing in a more accessible way, so this is our resources page, we have them in three categories, teach, learn, and make, so there's things for teachers to take and actually just give classes based on this, teaching, computing concepts and that kind of thing, they have all the stuff teachers need to deliver the UK curriculum, they have kind of learning objectives and all the kind of things that are related to the curriculum that teachers need. Learn are things like just do this exercise, kind of learn about this topic and then make is kind of building things or making some sort of interactive application. They're all free to use and free in the Liberty sense, so they're all created, commons licensed, so you can do whatever you like with those, we don't want to put any restrictions on teachers to say they can't print them or can't photocopy them or can't edit them or whatever they want, so we just, they're all out there for anyone to use for any purpose and we encourage them to sort of edit them and make their own resources out of our materials. They're all on GitHub, so we have collaborators working on them around the world who file issues if they have any problems with them, they can edit them, they can fork them and we're encouraging teachers to get involved in sharing in this way as well. So some of our resources, just by a few examples, we've got a new one that's being worked on at the moment is using a Morse code tapper and we've got a Python interface to typing messages and using that with Morse code and you learn how to build up that program through a few steps of building it up, which we'll be releasing soon. We've got an infrared bird box using the camera noir, so you can actually have a video feed going from a bird box that's got an infrared sensor, so whenever a bird comes in, it starts recording and we've seen some of the uses of that around the internet of people who've set this up and made their own bird box. We've got, there's actually a pure Python interface to the camera as well, which is written by a friend of mine in Manchester, which is really nice to use and a great example of a community contribution and we've got a few resources based around that, such as a push button stop motion one so where you can set up a physical button that will trigger the camera and you can make a stop motion animation with something like Lego, so there's a whole resource around building that up and understanding how the code works and actually building the sort of product for making that resource happen. We had a poster competition at the end of last year. People, kids sent in posters of ideas of things they wanted to make and we sent them one of the Google Raspberry Pi kits in return. One of the ideas was a Hamster party cam. They wanted to, this young child wanted to see what Hamsters did at night because she's saying they were nocturnal. So they're probably running around and having a party. So we made the resource based on her idea and showed you how you could set up a camera to watch the, to be triggered when the Hamster wheel went round or when the Hamster was walking around the cage. There's things like Cress Eggheads, which is a time lapse of Cress growing out of Egg. And then there's some actual sort of computer science stuff. So there's things like a networking resource we recently put together, which is a whole series of lessons based around learning networking with the Raspberry Pi, which is a lot closer to what a lot of you imagine that we should be doing. There's a program on Raspberry Pi called Sonic Pi, which is a really interesting project. It's actually writing music in code. So you can see there's an example here. It's actually based on Ruby, which is a nice step between a visual programming like environment like Scratch, where you just drag and drop the blocks and building up to something where you can do, you have a lot more power like Python. Because of Ruby's syntax, there's not as many brackets and it's not as reliant upon you having the indentation set up in the right way, things like that. This is a really nice way, and it also allows you to, rather than a visual representation of your code, it's an audible representation, which is really interactive, can be really good to teach computer science concepts. So how can you help? So if you're running a code club or something like an open tech school, something like that, you can use our materials. I'd love to see them being used. If you have any contributions, if you've written your own materials, or if you've forked one of ours and added to it, we'd love to have it come back to us. It'd be great to see some contributions from the community as well. If you've got a package in Debian or in PIP, something like that, just check it out and see if it runs on the Raspberry Pi. If there's something you could do to improve it, that would be great. There's also a network of events mostly around the UK, and there's a few around the world as well called Raspberry Jam. There's actually just one recently being set up in Berlin by a friend of mine. So if you could attend a Raspberry Jam, just if you've got a project, show it off at the Jam, if you can help lend a hand the teaching aspects because a lot of children, parents go along and they need a bit of guidance and any help along at one of those jams would be really, really useful. And if you've done something with a Pi, email me, tell me about it, or come and talk to somebody or email the foundation. It'd be great to, it's always great to hear what people are doing with Raspberry Pi's. I often find people are quite quiet about these things and I'll be chatting somebody for ages, telling them all about what we're doing and then they just say, oh yeah, I've got a Raspberry Pi, I built a killer robot with it. Yeah, it's all right, it's not bad. Or something like, oh, I set one up that helps feed children in Africa and I'm like, whoa, this is amazing. You need to tell me about this, we can put it on our blog. But another thing you can do to help is just to buy a Raspberry Pi and the compute module, that will be really, really helpful. Because if you buy a Raspberry Pi, you're funding our educational mission, which is a worldwide mission, it's not just based in the UK. You fund the development of new hardware, so a lot of hackers back in the original days before this came out were really excited about it and they wanted a piece of the action, they wanted to get hold of a Raspberry Pi. And the more that we can work on that, the more engineers we have working on new products, the more everyone else will benefit from that. There's always work being done on the current Raspberry Pi and future products that can be furthered by our expansion. And I'm sure you'd all love to see the next generation of Raspberry Pi. And we can make big leaps forward in that respect. And you're also funding free and open source software by buying Raspberry Pi. We have a lot of contributions towards open source and so we funded the port of PiPi to ARM, which if you saw the talk yesterday on PiPi that was mentioned there. We funded XBMC to kind of improve that on our hardware. Things like LibAV, Pixman, Wayland and Western, we're working really hard on those kind of desktop environments for that will work better on our hardware and getting those ported and getting, we've got our own version of that being worked on at the moment called Maynard, which is looking really cool. We've developed a lot in, funded a lot of development of Squeak, the small talk VM, which Scratch runs in and actually Scratch itself. MIT have moved on from the original version of Scratch and have moved it to a flash environment. So we're stuck on the old version, but we're actually funding development on that itself and incorporating a lot of cool features that you can do with Raspberry Pi in that such as GPIO interaction. We've funded WebKit and Epiphany as a new browser that we're working on, which will be released soon. We also, being kind of lobbying Broadcom, the guys who make the chip that we use to open source their graphics drivers because that's something that a lot of people really wanna see. We've had a few wins with those over the last two or three years. And earlier this year, we put out a $10,000 bounty to the first person to port some drivers that they open sourced to work on a Raspberry Pi. And that was one and that was quite big announcement for us. Just before I finish, I'm gonna be doing a U.S. tour next year. So if you're, I've put out this map as a vague anticipation of my route. This is gonna be from the beginning of August for the next, for the, for about two or three weeks. I'm trying to stop at any hack spaces or any communities or groups. If anyone is in the U.S. or knows anyone in the U.S. who might be interested in hearing me speak or coming to visit them or anything like that, check out the Raspberry Pi website. There's a call for requests or come and speak to me or get any touch. As I say, if you've got anything you wanna talk to me about, I'm gonna be here afterwards. But also, by all means, send me an email. Check out our work on GitHub. And if you've got any projects you wanna tell me about, please do email me. So feel free to take a picture of that. Or I've got some cards at the front here if you wanna grab one as well. So thank you. I will take questions. Okay, cool. Cheers. Very nice project. Any questions? Oh, a lot. We don't have too much time, but... Hi. So you mentioned that you have ongoing development. What's gonna happen next with the Raspberry Pi? So I know that there was a BBC master and then the Archivies and so on and so forth. So what's the next thing in the pipeline? The next cool piece of hardware? And I realize that you're probably gonna say, I can't tell you. Or can you? Well, we only just brought out a new model. So I wouldn't expect anything immediately. But it's more of a long-term thing talking about. I mean, Ebon did reference Raspberry Pi 2 in the blog post announcing the B-plus. But we're not talking anything imminent. There will be a future revision. And the B-plus is the final revision of the original Raspberry Pi. So we won't be on the current set of hardware past this. But this will be a very long-term supported device. Because as I said, there are 3 million of the current Raspberry Pi's out there. And we've no interest in leaving anyone behind. And what about compatibility with the one laptop per child? One laptop per child. So what do you mean by compatibility? What can be done in common with that project? Okay, you mean in terms of the project? So that was a really cool project, which, you know, and a lot of the aims of that project were very similar to our own. The Raspberry Pi is a lot more extensible in terms of what you can do with it with the physical hardware and the physical computing elements. I'm not sure really what there is to be said about compatibility in terms of, I don't know if there's still a sort of team working on that project, but I don't know. If you've got anything specific to say, I'd love to talk to you about it. Okay, one more question. What sort of software comes bundled with the Raspberry Pi? Okay, so our major, our main support of distribution is called Raspbian, which is a community port of the ARM Debian. And that's the one that we generally support. We do have a piece of software which runs off the SD card and gives you a selection of different operating systems, but I'll just talk about Raspbian. So it's a full-fledged Linux distribution, so you do get a full desktop environment. A lot of things are installed by default, and anything that's available in Debian, and the Debian archives on ARM is supported generally. But by default, you get a lot of, plenty of programming languages, you get Python, Java, Ruby, things like that. And a lot of packages are available through Python as well. Scratch is bundled, Sonic Pi, the GPIO libraries, for instance, things like that. The camera interface, basically anything you can get in Debian as well, is available. Okay, thank you very much again. Thank you.


I was just telling one of my guys a little bit ago. I said, man, these Ravens, they don't know any other way to do it, but to just have all this craziness that transpires literally like every single game pretty much. When we as Ravens fans, okay, Pookie, I love you too. When we as Ravens fans actually watch a calm game from the Ravens, where the Ravens is won decisively, even when it's lost decisively, we get surprised. We get really surprised because we're just so used to craziness, especially this year. And yesterday, and against the Vikings, it was no different, but Team Keep It Clean, what's going on, is saying Raven here with another video. And in this video, I'm here to share my post game thoughts from the game we all watched between the Ravens and the Vikings, which was just madness. It was madness. Before we get into this video, I gotta let y'all know it's going to be a very busy week, very, very busy week. So if you see a little extra videos, then you're used to my apologies because we got a lot to cover and we only have like three days to cover it because the Dolphins game is on Thursday. So that should be very, should be fun, should be a fun one. And it being down here in Miami, you know, like them Florida Ravens, they get to go do their thing. Anyway, we'll talk about that when we get there. For this game though, against the Vikings, the Ravens, the slow starts, the slow starts happen again and that's just, it's never good. It's never a good thing. When you have a slow start, whether you're going against a good team or you're going against a bad team, it's never good because this just makes stuff harder, that much harder for your defense. It makes the stuff that much harder for your offense. It just makes stuff harder just for your team because you're not putting points on the board. So the Ravens, they got off to a slow start but it was a mix of things. There was a mix of bad play caller and y'all know I've been one of the biggest G-Roll fans this year but he's had his mishaps. And yesterday's game in the first quarter, oh man, anybody that was watching the live stream, y'all saw it, like the Ravens, they was one player in the first quarter. Early on in the game, I think it might've been the first or second drive. When Ravens came out in this run heavy package, they had Patrick Card, I think they had Tomlinson, they had Josh Oliver, they had Levy on bail and they had one receiver. And that one receiver was out wide. Everybody else was around the line and scrimmaged, of course Patrick Card, he was lined up at full back and Levy on bail at running back and I think Tomlinson was in the backfield too, whatever the formation was. And then they changed it and they changed it to five wide. So they spread it out, empty backfield. And I'm like, why are we lining up those guys? Like, are we going five wide with that? Yuck, I didn't like it at all. I forgot, I just didn't like it so much. I forgot what the result of that play ended up even being. Probably Lamar ended up taking off because Lamar was taking off literally all game long because he had no protection. He had no protection. But in my opinion, I think the reason he had no protection was because they didn't establish a running game early on. They didn't. And now Devontae Freeman, one thing I did like about yesterday's game in the long run, not early on, but in the long run, they established Devontae Freeman as the number one back, even though you know they love Levy on bail so much. They love Levy on bail. Levy on bail made some plays towards the end of the game there. But Devontae Freeman, like they, I think Devontae Freeman had like 13 carries and Levy on bail had like 11. I think it should have, it should have been in my opinion. I'm no offensive coordinator, but I think it should have been Devontae Freeman with like 16, 17. Maybe Levy on bail with like six, something like that. And of course you can't just go by numbers and be like, all right, and this game, this running back is going to get this amount of carries. But what I'm saying is that I feel like David, I was about to say Davey on bail. I feel like Devontae Freeman should be the guy, the clear cut guy, their number one runner. Not saying that Levy on bail shouldn't get his two, but Devontae Freeman should be getting the bulk of the carries because he is there. Same thing I've been saying, he's their best runner that will actually get opportunity.  Like they're done with Tyson Williams, man. Like that's why I was so surprised that he's still here. I really thought the trade deadline was going to come and go and Tyson Williams was going to go. Not because he's a bad player, I thought the Ravens were just done, especially after that fourth downplay against the Bengals. I thought they were done with him. And I mean, they are pretty much done with him. They just keeping them around. Like they, he probably just a hold over till the Tavius Murray gets healthy. Then once the Tavius Murray gets healthy, he probably go right back to being inactive. I just, you could tell that they are just over him. They are over him. They want him to have no parts of the ball. They done with him.  But anyway, Devontae Freeman, he had a really good game yesterday. I would say that was his best game as a Raven so far. Levy on Bill, as I said, he of course made an impact too. Got his touchdown, after Devontae did all the dirty work, Levy on Bill went and got the touchdown. But Levy on Bill, like I said, he contributed too, which was nice. And I just hope that the Ravens moving forward. They can stop doing this but they got to try to make every running back happy except Tyson Williams, because you know they don't want to make him happy. But where they got to make Devontae Freeman happy and Levy on Bill, but I want them to establish a hot hand. And again, they did that more toward the end of the game yesterday, but I think that if they did that early on, that would help out the offensive line so much because you saw how the offensive line toward the end of the game, they were doing a lot better because the Ravens were running a lot better. Early on, they were passing a lot and they've been passing a lot this whole season. But Lamar just, he could not be, he wasn't comfortable like pretty much all game long. He was not comfortable. He was running for his life all game long. And the scary part about that, the frustrating part about that is that the Ravens, what can they do about the offensive line? What can you do? I mean, it's tough. Like if you add somebody, are they going to be better than what you have? Possibly, but you'll never know. They did just sign Ogbuy and I did see him out there for, what play did he come up with for a field goal?  So I wonder if they'll incorporate him somehow, some way. Probably not because, I mean, when you're winning, a lot gets covered up. So I wonder if they would be willing to make a change even though they are winning. But anyway, we'll see what happens with that. But yeah, with the offensive line, it's been the same story. It's just been, it's been a lot of bad. It's been a lot of bad. It ain't been all bad now. Ain't been all bad. Cause again, once they mixed it up and they successfully mixed it up, that's the thing. When they successfully mixed it up. So they had success running the ball and some success passing the ball. That's when the offensive line was able to do better. So that's just something to keep in mind as the Ravens move forward with the offensive line. And I just, one thing that I hope, it's kind of scary to think about, but you think about, especially last year. Last year they were able to scrape by and whatnot with the offensive line that they had, which was a problem all year from week one. And then in the playoffs, it got exposed to the max and they kicked him out. That's the reason that Lamar Jackson ended up leaving the game with a concussion. That's the reason why on that pick six, he ain't have no time to throw. That's the reason why on a play before the pick six, I think Hollywood was wide open, but Lamar was too busy getting hit. So it's the offensive line. It, hopefully it's not that situation in the long run, but we just see how everything plays itself out. Lamar, his game, he just started this game shaky. Oh, but back, you know what? Let's back up before we get to Lamar, which, well, we could still stay on Lamar. He was sailing some passes. And again, he was running for his life from start to finish, but early on he was sailing some passes, overthrowing some guys. He overthrew Hollywood and the flag. He overthrew Mark Andrews, but went on to overthrow the Mark Andrews. Like he was trying to fit it. There was a defender in front of Mark Andrews and there was a defender behind Mark Andrews and there was a defender to the side of Mark Andrews. So Lamar was trying to fit it in right in there, but he ended up sailing it. So, okay, well, better that than what it could have been. So, because he could have thrown an interception, which he did right before halftime, but on that play he didn't, he just sailed it. But with everything, and even though the Ravens, they didn't deserve it. They got that horse collar called like we were talking about. So the Ravens are like, all right, we got bailed out. So let's take advantage of it. Lamar, though the perfect pass to Mark Andrews, touchdown, touchdown. It's like, okay, we getting ready to go like this? Mark Andrews drops it. And it's like, man, like ever since national tight ends day, Mark Andrews, he ain't really been showing out. Now he did finish yesterday with like, I think like five catches, 45 yards, something like that. So he ended the day with an all right day, but that's money right there. That's money, you gotta come down with those. I know he ain't gonna catch every single pass. He gonna have drops. It happens. But it's like when Lamar, that when Ravens have this history, this season of starting off so slow, that's a chance that you have to not start off slow, start off with a touchdown, and he dropped it. But it was what it was. So Lamar, overall yesterday, he had a good game, definitely wasn't a great game. He had a good game though, but you could tell he just, he had to do a lot. He had to do a lot. And he went over a hundred yards rushing, had the three touchdowns, had the two interceptions. One of those interceptions was on Devontae Freeman for not engaging with the guy. And y'all know, I initially thought that, okay, well Devontae Freeman, he was fine. Like he was, he was in the right for just waiting for Anthony Bar to engage with him. And maybe Anthony Bar was like playing contained to where he was just staying there just in case Lamar tried to take off or something. But no, Devontae, I was corrected. Devontae Freeman should have engaged with him. And that wouldn't have been an interception. Well, it would have been a way less of a chance of an interception. But that was just a great play by Anthony Bar. That was such a great play. But yeah, that was an overtime too. That was an overtime. And when that interception happened, I was like, oh boy, we gotta rely on this defense. Even though the defense, they had, when it mattered the most, most. Not when it mattered the most, because when it mattered the most like in the fourth quarter with Lamar and Ravens, they got the touchdown drive to put them ahead by seven. It was like, all right, defense, just close it out. And they didn't close it out. But when it mattered the most, most, the Ravens defense they came through. And I was pleasantly surprised at them making a stop after that Lamar Jackson interception. Because the Ravens were moving the ball. They were moving. But that was a very scary moment. But anyway, in the other interception that he threw right before half, again, Lamar threw these interceptions and the defense they came through. Because Lamar on the first interception he threw right before halftime, that set the Vikings up nice. They had time, they had good field position, but the defense held them to three. That was so big. That was so big. But then Lamar, of course, he threw the, what, three touchdowns. There was one to Devante Freeman. One to, all to like unlikely people to be catching touchdowns. But that's what you need. When other people being held from the end zone, from being held from scoring, you need other guys to step up and make plays and you need your offensive coordinator and your quarterback to get other guys involved and to see other guys and be like, all right, they watching Bateman extra close. They watching Hollywood, they watching Andrews. All right, let's find somebody else. So Duvenay with the great catch in the back of the end zone and Lamar with the great throw. Patrick Ricard, who literally on that drive, he took it over. He took that whole drive over and he was catching one hand and all that running people over. Okay, Project Pat. And then Devante Freeman, who he had a really good game too. Like I said, as a runner, and then of course he got his little passing touchdown too. And he was somebody I wasn't expecting to get a passing touchdown. I was not thinking about him on that play. I was like, okay, I wasn't thinking about him. Vikings weren't thinking about him. Ravens were like, okay, we know that. Nobody's thinking about him. Let's get him and they got him. Perfect. What else? See, that's the benefits of being able to do the video outside.  Anyway, I know I was gonna be somebody. Oh, why did you leave there in the video? Man, you should have cut that out. You should have added that out so gross, man. I don't ever have Lugies. I have this perfect body system that just doesn't have any Lugies. That's so gross. Anyway, shout out to you, whoever you are in advance. Hollywood, who Hollywood? He had a game. He had himself a game. Went over 100 yards, didn't get a touchdown, but he went over 100 yards. Key contributor, no drops, came back to the ball, attacked the ball, got a lot of yak and engage. He brought on contact. Cause a lot of times people are so used to Hollywood. Oh, you see a defender coming, he run out of bounds. You see a defender coming, he dropped to the ground. Hollywood said, no, not yesterday. Yesterday he was all about that contact. All about it. And I loved it. Loved it. Great game from Hollywood, especially in clutch time. Especially in clutch time. Rashad Bateman, Mr. First Down. Again, looks smooth. It looks like he's been playing with these guys forever. So, and he's a rookie. He does not look like a rookie to me. He really doesn't look like a rookie receiver. And for it, it's crazy to see a rookie receiver making immediate impact despite missing the first five weeks of the regular season. It's crazy. It's rookie receiver. Like Sammy Watkins wasn't even playing yesterday. They said he had some thigh issue that came, that happened before the game.  But this rookie, rookie, rookie came through, man. And he's been coming through. So that's been a really good thing. We talked about Mark Andrews already. DuVernay, we talked about him. Proshay, him and Miles Boykin. They weren't involved in the offense at all. They were out there for a couple plays or whatever, but nothing crazy. Yeah, that was that. Penalties, there was some little rinky-dinky calls, man. But penalties were hurting the Ravens. Ravens, a lot of times they can be their own worst enemy. And those penalties, they'll bite you in the butt, man. And a lot of times when Ravens get a big play, I know a lot of us as fans, we start looking around like, oh, okay, where's the flag? Cause I don't want to get too excited because I know a flag is probably coming. And then if it doesn't happen, I go, okay, let's go. So, oh, and shout out to Rushal Bateman for getting literally the first of the year, the first defensive pass and offensive call that went for the Ravens. All year long. Cause you know, we don't get to like LeMaw a couple of weeks ago. Think we got the first rough in the passer? All year ever since 2019? Ever since 2019? You mean to tell me LeMaw ain't been rough? LeMaw ain't been late, he ain't had no late hits? We got the first rough in the passer since 2019, a couple of weeks ago. And now we got the first pass and offense this, in this game. I'm like, wow, that's crazy. That's crazy. It's week nine. And that's the first week nine. It's wild, man. Anyway, that's offense. Yeah, that sums up the offense. Defense, no, special teams, Justin Tucker, game-winning field goal, you know, Justin Tucker, he just, it was one of those things where in the back of my mind, I'm like, okay, I'm not Justin Tucker, got this, but at the same time, there's no such thing as a game, and we've seen crazy stuff happen. It's been a wild season, but Justin Tucker, he held it down and he got it. So it was good, that was a game winner. I think they said that was his 10th or 12th game winner, something like that. I mean, he done made a lot of game winners. We already know that. So that was a nice thing to see. So special teams, Duvenay didn't really get many kick returns, but special teams, they gave up a kick return for a touchdown. And it's like coming out the half, we're thinking, all right, Ravens, they down by seven, I believe. They just got a touchdown right before halftime. It's like, all right, you down by seven. Vikings getting the ball, yeah, that's cool, but all you got to do is stop them. You get the ball, but all right, let's go Ravens, let's go. And the thing with them, Pookie, what are you eating, man? Spit it out, spit it out. What are you eating? Anyway, we're thinking, all right, the Ravens, they all they got to do, they got to come out and stop the Vikings and with the Vikings, all their plays, the big stuff has been cut, all they, they just been getting these big plays. That's the only way they've been scoring. When they got to grind it out, they got to grind out these drives, they don't score. They score from these big plays. They scored from a 50 yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson. They scored on the, what, Delvin Cook got that 66 yard run and then they finish it off with the Kirk Cousins QB sneak, but it's like, all right, cool. We stopped the big plays, we'll be straight. Big play, come out half time, kick return for a touchdown. I'm like, oh boy, wow, man. And it was just like, wow, but I did not think that it would be over them. I'm like, oh, Raven's down by 14. Oh, okay, cool, that's fine. And I kept saying it on the stream, because there's a lot of people saying that the game was over, but I kept saying it on the stream, like, okay, that is, this, this, everything that's happening will just make the comeback that much sweeter. It'll make it that much sweeter. And it did. Raven's again, down by 14, down by multiple scores and they end up coming back and winning. And that this narrative of Lamar Jackson can't come back, can't play from behind. It's been dead, but it's like really, really dead. So, they're gonna come up with new stuff though. You know how it goes. Anyway, defense, defense. Pookie, what are you eating, man? What are you eating? I keep hearing her chew on something. I ain't giving her no food. What are you eating? What are you eating? What are you eating? Come on, man, she's so annoying. Anyway, defense. Defense in this game. Oh, you got camera shy or something? He said, don't try to kiss me, man. Defense in this game. That, I knew Justin Jefferson was gonna get his. I figured he was gonna get a touchdown this game. I figured we would see at least one gritty dance, but I didn't think he would go over 75 yards. And all that stuff happened. And the way that it happened, it was kind of sad. I don't know if that was more on Marlon Humphrey. I think it was a mix of being on Marlon Humphrey and Chuck Clark, because Marlon Humphrey, he just, his foot walking, his footwork, he just got caught slipping. He just looked lost. He was like, whoa, you gonna pass me like that, bro? And then Chuck Clark, he was running up. And again, I think it's Chuck Clark, he's so used to blitzing. So it's probably in his mind, like, all right, blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz. I'm an outside lineback, I'm not a safety. I'm an outside lineback, I'm not a safety. I blitz, that's my main thing to do, blitz. So he's so used to that in wing system that he was trying to blitz from being a deep safety. So he's still running. And Justin Jefferson was like, okay, cool, bye. Ran right past both of them touchdown. Beautiful pass, beautiful catch, beautiful gritty, by the way. But other than that, he didn't really do anything. Well, he did have that nice fourth down catch in the end of the fourth quarter that set up the Adam Thielen touchdown. But he, other than those two players, he was pretty much, he was not a factor.  And even Adam Thielen, he wasn't an impact player either, except that one played that touchdown. There was a little push off there too, but they, so besides those couple of plays that they did give up, Ravens actually did a pretty good job of holding those guys down. They really did. Overall in the grand, it's like, when you look at the box score, you'll see touchdown Justin Jefferson, touchdown Adam Thielen, and they, so they did get this, but if you actually watched a game, that's why numbers don't always tell the whole story. But Ravens overall, like, except for those couple of plays, overall they held those guys. Dalvin Cook, who scared me because just watching, I didn't really, I know who Dalvin Cook is, I know what he can do, but my first time being able to actually watch him this year was when I was watching the Vikings and Cowboys game, and this dude, like, his burst is so quick. It is so quick, and it's scary. And I was thinking, oh boy, like, okay, Brandon Williams is out, but even with Brandon Williams in, Ravens run defense, it ain't been the Ravens run defense that we know. It's been a pretty big yikes, man. And I'm just, I'm worried about him. I'm worried about Dalvin Cook because I know what he does. I know what he's capable of, and the way this dude shoots through the hole, the way that he got this, this crazy burst, it's wild, and when he's healthy, that's been his only knock as a running back. Only knock as a running back. It has been his health, that's it. When he's healthy, top five all day, you already know that. Top five, no question. And he showed that yesterday, but even with him, he had over a hundred yards. But when you think about it, that 66-yard run, that 66-yard, besides the 66-yard run, the Ravens also did a good, and now again, we can't take away that 66-yard run because it happened, but besides that, Ravens did a pretty good job of holding him down. They did. So Ravens in this game, the problem wasn't tackling. It wasn't. You seen Josh, shout out to Josh Bynes. Kept saying it all day yesterday. We need 11 Josh Bynes on defense, and we'd be locked in. Josh Bynes was talking to my guy JT about it last night. His smarts make up for any lack of athleticism, any lack of speed, like my guy JT said.  He's not gonna catch you, but he's gonna put himself in the best position before you get a step on him to catch you. And that's Josh Bynes in a nutshell, man. He almost had to pick yesterday in the right place, right time. He made so many key tackles and stops right place, right time. And is Josh Bynes faster than Patrick Queen, than Daven Cook, and oh, mm-mm. Is he faster than any of those Titans who receive it out? No, but he's smart. He knows the game. He obviously does a lot of homework. He studies in right place, right time. Josh Bynes has really saved his defense. He has really saved this linebacking group. Josh Bynes is right now our best linebacker. That's not a shot at Patrick Queen. It's not a shot at Malik Harrison. It's not a shot at Chris Bord. I mean, CJ Bord, no, Chris Bord. CJ Bord, CJ Bord. Chris Bord? Man, I forgot his name. Maybe I'm gonna get him mixed up with CJ Mosey. Maybe it's Chris Bord. Wow, I forgot his name. I think it is Chris Bord. Wow, I'm trippin'. But that's not a shot at any of our linebackers, Christian. Well, it's not a shot at anybody, but Josh Bynes is our best linebacker right now. He's our best. And with that being said, he has been showing it. And it's been a good thing that the Ravens ended up signing him to the practice squad. It's been a good thing that they ended up promoting him to the active roster.  He been playing since Ray Lewis was playing. He been playing since Ray Lewis was playing. So Josh Bynes been around. He got experience before he was the young linebacker. He was the young linebacker stepping in for Ray Lewis. Now he's the older linebacker stepping in for Patrick Queen. So the torch was passed. So anyway, he was excellent. He had a really, really good game. Patrick Queen made that excellent, oh man, I loved it when Patrick Queen shot through that gap and caught Dalvin Cook and Wade in the backfield for like a seven-yard loss or something like that. It was nice to see that's them confidence boosters that he needs, man. That's what he needs. Now what the Ravens do after this season at Mike Linebacker, because that's the linebacker that's calling everything, that's calling it, that's regulating everything. And he's just making stuff happen. That's the linebacker that's sort of the brain of the defense. So what they do pass this season, we'll see. But Josh Bynes has helped so much. And we are very appreciative of that. What else? Marlon Humphrey, Anthony Averett. They had pretty good games yesterday. Besides the Justin Jefferson, 50-yard touchdown catch. Marlon Humphrey, he had a pretty quiet game yesterday and that's always a good thing. He had a nice breakup on, he had a couple of nice breakups. I forgot which receivers they were on. One was on the tight end, one was on the tight end. And there was another one on the receive. I forgot which receiver it was though. But again, nice quiet game. Anthony Averett, same thing. Overall had a nice quiet game. That's always a good thing. DeSean Elliott, he made a couple nice plays and then lost him for the year, which is unfortunate. But now it's Brandon Stevens time. Brandon Stevens, I gotta watch him on him from college because I'm not sure if he's a rangey, because I know he played running back and I know he played cornerback. I don't think he played safety in college. I don't believe. But we're gonna see if he is that rangey safety. Cause he's smart. He made a really nice play on Adam Thielin in the back of the end zone. But we're gonna see if he got that range. We're gonna see if he got that range to cover the back end of the field. Just in case a team wanna go up top. We're gonna see and see if he got that range. If he's playing in the deep middle of the field, we're gonna see if Martin Humphrey gets beat and the quarterback goes up top. Anthony Averett gets beaten, the quarterback goes up top if he can make it over there in time to make a play on the ball. So we're gonna see. I'm sure like the Dolphins, they ain't got nothing to lose. So this is definition of a trap game, but they ain't got nothing to lose. So they're gonna be doing whatever. So he will be tested right away on Thursday. He will be tested. Trust me, he'll be tested. So we'll see how things go. Anyway, excuse me. Our defensive line, pass rush. Early on they were getting pressure. Then later on in the game, like yeah, cause they were causing Kirk Cousins to throw a couple of little ducks up. Ravens, ooh, they came a little bit close to making some interceptions, but they didn't make any of what it's all good. They got the winner. That's the most important thing, but the interceptions definitely would've made it a little better. But the pressure was getting there a little bit. And Justin Houston, we just waiting for him to get that, he just had half a sack away from getting a hundred. So hopefully in Miami, when they come down here to Miami, hopefully he can get that 100 sack. We can all celebrate with Justin Houston in Miami. We can have a party. So yeah, man, that was pretty much the game, man. That's pretty much the game. Again, the defense, they gave up the big plays and the big plays, if they would've eliminated the big plays, then I think they would've won this game more convincingly, but they obviously didn't. And shout out to the Vikings cause they came through. We know the Vikings were not a bad team at all. They got a rough record. They were three and four going into this game, but we knew they weren't a bad team. And when they were showing the graphics and everything of the Vikings, all their close games and whatnot, it was like, oh man, we know what it's like to be a purple team that had these close, close, crazy, stressful games. But the difference between the Vikings and the Ravens is that the Ravens have, they found more ways to win. They found more ways to win, to really close these games out. And it's just, it's worked itself out. So this team is, they six and two. They six and two. And it's crazy because you think about it and a lot of people do it, they could be, oh, well, this team could easily be two and six. They could be one and seven, whatever. And they could be, but they're not. They're not. They're not.  None of that happened. They six and two. So they, they sitting, sitting pretty, not at the top of the AFC. They wanted the top teams in AFC. They're not at the top, because the Titans, oh, them Rams, them Rams decided to pick the worst time to not show up. They should have had, they did not show up game like weeks ago against, I don't care who, but they decided to do it against a tight like, man, Titans, that defense was nasty against them Rams, nasty, nasty, but that was a big statement went for them. Great one for the Titans. So they still first place in the AFC because they didn't have that by week. That's the biggest thing with the Titans and the Ravens. Titans didn't have that by week. Ravens had that by week. So Ravens are like a game back. Like Ravens are six, the Titans are seven and two. Ravens are six and two. So, so I'll take it, man. I'll take it to be six and two at this point in the season. Next opponent is Dolphins and Bears.  But after the Dolphins and Bears, you go into a really hard part of the schedule. Oh my goodness. The rest of the schedule is hard from there because you got Browns twice. You got Steelers twice. You got Bengals once. You got Rams. You got Packers. And it's, oh my goodness. Oh yeah. Ooh, that's gonna be crazy, man.  But, and even Sunday, baby, that's why they play the game. You gotta show up and show up, man. Do your thing. So, shout out to the Ravens. Again, with the coaching staff, despite any gripes that we got with the coaching staff, or just speaking to me personally. Because again, like I said, Greg Roman yesterday, there was some plays I'm like, what are they doing? I just do not like this. But they cleaned it up. Wink in yesterday's game. He cleaned it up. Like I said, I never expect him not to blitz. I never expect him to just stop blitzing completely, but that dude is always sending somebody. And Tay Tay is a blitzer. Chuck Clark is always a blitzer. He'd be sending those guys, man. But when it works, it works. So it's a beautiful thing. But again, it's all about balance and all about just being smart with the blitz. And just recognizing what's working, what's not making adjustments, it's all about that. So Wink, again, I just, yesterday in yesterday's game, that defense has been a struggle all season. But in yesterday's game, I don't think he called a bad game. The Ravens just, they gave up some bad plays. They gave up some, then big plays were killers. And then big plays were the difference. And with Viking's offense, and with Viking's special teams too, that was the difference, right? I think Ravens could have really had this thing in the bag earlier. I don't think they would have had to go to overtime, but hey, again, it's part of the game. Vikings brought it, and boy, they brought everything to the Ravens. The M.T. Banks Stadium, they brought it all to the crib, and oof, they were like, nah, if y'all gonna beat us, we about to stretch y'all out. And they did that. So it was a fun game. It was a good time yesterday. Shout out to y'all. Appreciate y'all coming through on the stream. That is going to be the last stream that we do. Until, cause we're not gonna stream the Dolphins game. For obvious reasons, but yeah, man. So I'm gonna miss streaming with y'all. Might have to get a little stream in sometime here or there. But we'll see how things go, man. So I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Thank y'all for listening.  I love y'all. I appreciate y'all taking the time, just out of your day to just come chill, come vibe, come listen. Whether you're doing, listening at work, you listening at school, you listening on your way to work, on your way to school, or you're going to pick up the kids, while you're dropping off the kids, while you're eating breakfast, while whatever you're doing. Having dinner, whatever. I appreciate you listening with whatever you're doing. And you know what? Anybody that actually made it through this part of the video, I know this one went kind of long. I don't know how long we been talking for. But anybody that been listening to this point of the video, just put it in the comments, what you're doing, while you're listening.  Whatever you're doing. Just put what you're doing in the comments section. I just want to see. I'm just curious. Anyway, love y'all. Appreciate y'all. The wind is picking up, so I'm gonna go ahead and pack it up. We out.


If we praise Psalm 7 with David, it requires faith because it limits what we can do in a difficult situation. When we place both those who hate us and our desire for vengeance before God and ask Him to do something, who can say what God who is just will choose to do? Which raises the question, are we willing to trust God with whatever He chooses to do in our difficult situations?


Do I always ride horses and rope halters? No, I don't But a horse like this he learned To push through his body lengthwise push through his body and Go forward and brace against that snaffle. So I don't necessarily right now want that nutcracker snaffle action pallet jamming bar pinching action because I Just spent some time on the ground with them. So why not keep that feel the same?


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. Today we have a manga review of chapter 923, Emperor Kaido vs Luffy. And look, I have to say that One Piece has had a fantastic run over the last two decades, but all good things must come to an end. And with the sudden and unexpected demise of series protagonist Monkey D. Luffy this week, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Oda for all that he has given us. But seriously though, this chapter was, uh, appropriately brutal. Last week I went into some detail about how Luffy's strike on the final page was very intentionally made to look like absolutely nothing due to it missing a lot of the standard Oda details. Entirely intentional because I believe it was meant to portray just how ineffective Luffy's current abilities are against Kaido. But this week we have a very similar ending just reversed. The final two page spread is crowned with Kaido performing an attack on Luffy that honestly looks just as ineffective as Luffy's attack did. It's a very simple swing with no spiky impact bubble or emphasis on the hit whatsoever really. It's kind of just a mundane panel for One Piece, especially considering that Luffy is facing off against a Yonko, but once again that is entirely intentional. It's showing that this basic boring hit is enough to KO Luffy even in Gear 4th form. Kaido isn't even trying, which is a brilliant contrast to how the last chapter ended with Luffy seriously trying to harm Kaido and being more or less completely ineffectual. Furthermore, we really did go through the motions this week by showcasing an elephant gatling gun, which actually looked really cool, before launching immediately into a Gear 4th Kong organ. Although I do wish that Luffy had gone even further and whipped out the King Kong punch, so that there would be no question whatsoever surrounding the respective levels of Luffy and Kaido. But something to think about is that Kaido was arguably in his weakest state he will ever be in due to being highly intoxicated, further showing that we will not be able to rely on that as a particular weakness, especially with the insane sobering up speed. Also I don't know if this was simply due to the fact that he was drunk, but Kaido actually seems a lot stronger in his humanoid form than he does in his dragon form to me. Once again it may just be the alcohol not allowing him to properly access his full faculties, but I think this chapter quite wonderfully displayed the weakness of the dragon form, which is the sheer surface area available for Kaido's opponents to strike. Plus in his gigantic dragon form he also seems less able to keep track of what's happening around him. So yeah, I'd be pretty keen to see what the dragon can do in a more sober state, but it seems like he would be far less capable of precise movement and that it's more suited towards general destruction rather than one-on-one combat. Now as for Luffy's complete and utter defeat, I find this turn of events to be, well, exactly what was expected, but it's also quite promising for the future of the arc. Although I will say that if this were any other shonen I'd be very, very concerned because the main character being one hit Kaido'd plotline has a very standard flow of events from this stage. Essentially the main character then needs to train to become strong, a choir's godlike strength usually through some kind of transformation and breaks the series with their newfound power. I don't think that one piece is going to do this, and I feel like that's what Oda's trying to flag, by having Luffy convincingly defeated one-on-one so early in the arc. I don't think that Wano is going to be like anything we've seen before, and Kaido is going to need to be taken down in a very unique way. Now there are still going to be lots of people defending the shonen standard and saying that well Luffy lost to Crocodile multiple times before overcoming him, and that's true, but that was purely because Luffy could not hit him. Crocodile never possessed the strength, speed, stamina or durability to ever be capable of really facing off against Luffy in the long run, but here Luffy is outclassed in every single attribute, and that's very exciting because Luffy has almost never had to deal with the idea of defeating someone physically stronger than him. I say almost because you can make the argument that Karakuri was stronger than Luffy, but let's not go down that road, because Luffy proved overwhelming regardless, and yes Luffy has gone up against people stronger than himself like Big Mom or the admirals, but the purpose of their conflicts was not to defeat them. Kaido is a very very different story, he needs to go down, but strength isn't everything and I'm very excited by the prospect of showing that off, and having to defeat an impossibly powerful enemy via a more emphasized use of tactics rather than to just keep punching them until they stop getting up. Or perhaps we could go down an even more obscure route of dealing with the overpowered villain, like something akin to Meruem in Hunter x Hunter, which would be phenomenal if Oda could pull it off, and I have complete faith that he could if he wanted to. I'm also hoping that this may lead to a modicum of mental growth for Luffy, I mean I do love his character the way it is, always storming in and trying to get directly to the point, but surely this defeat needs to teach him something. It doesn't have to be something radical that changes him completely, and of course I prefer it wasn't, but just some small hint of growth would be nice. What I don't want is for Luffy to regain consciousness and just immediately want to fight Kaido again, stating that he will win next time. That's boring. It also looks like Luffy lost a tooth in that very final panel of the chapter, but that's alright though, nothing a nice glass of milk won't fix. But as a result of Luffy's attack he has caught the attention of Shutenmaru, Ashura Doji. So there's definitely an option to get him more involved pretty early on, perhaps by having him rescue Luffy and flee Kaido, or perhaps Ashura could attempt to do something similar and get caught and thrown into jail with Luffy. And thinking about it this week, Luffy being imprisoned may not be such a bad thing after all. It's not something I want to see because it's a device that gets used in almost every single major arc we've had, but it would allow the rest of the Ninja Pirate Mingsamurai Alliance to accurately follow through with the plan, thanks to Luffy's absence. But a big question hanging over my head right now is whether or not lore will also try to take on Kaido. Knowing that he'll be beaten, but with the idea that if he and Luffy were both caught, then Kaido's forces would not suspect any other individuals plotting their downfall. Oh, except for Zoro actually, who remains conveniently missing after deciding to take a lovely boat ride. He'd probably also need to be captured because Hawkins Holdum and everyone else at Bakura Town is well aware of his presence. And actually, ah man, possibly even Kika as well, although she really did not make herself out to be much of a threat, but she was still seen being associated with them. In any case, I could see a situation in which Luffy is taken to prison and Zoro just ends up exactly where he's being held and possibly also being thrown into jail. That or he is able to orchestrate the breakout of Luffy, Kidd and whoever else. Although that really doesn't seem like a Zoro thing to do. Not intentionally anyway. In other news, Tama is in trouble once again, which I think would make this the fourth time she's been in a desperate situation in this arc. I mean, she was originally captured then freed by Luffy, then she had to be revived due to drinking the poisoned river water, then she was abducted by the gazelle gifted dude, bro. And now once again, this chapter, things aren't looking particularly great for her at all. There's a very vague panel where we see Tama's arm, the broken apple and what looks to be a blood splatter that does seem to be emanating from her body. I mean, wow, this girl really cannot catch a break. I highly doubt she's dead, there's just too much unsolved about her character like the dango ability and the promise she made to Ace to become a great kunoichi. I mean, then again, if she were dead, maybe she could just meet up with Ace in the afterlife and fulfill her promise there.  And that's really kind of that for this week. It was more of an action based chapter with a singular focus, which was both highly enjoyable to read through and a little heartbreaking at the same time. The action in general was very well drawn, and it's kind of like a dream come true to finally see Kaido fighting, even if it did end so very, very swiftly. As per usual, it's left me in a state where I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen next, which is most certainly how I prefer one piece to be. So all that's really left to say is that I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter. But that pretty much does it for chapter 923.

I got accepted into Amazon's program that lets you spend $1,600 on the Amazon Astro. It's a little robot that rolls around. It comes well packaged. The charger and electric cord are in one box and the main unit on its own in the rest of the box. Plus there's some welcome materials. Some of them seemed redundant and there's these little stickers that you can put on windows so that the Astro won't run into your windows or your mirrored doors. It's a pretty easy thing to unbox. We'll do a separate setup video, but there you go. That's Astro.


A previously convicted burglar is back behind bars after Crowan County deputies arrested him in connection with some recent burglaries in the county. 36 year old Charles Weber was arrested on July 29th after deputies initiated a traffic stop and then located items they believe were stolen from recent burglaries. Weber had just been released from prison two weeks earlier after serving time as a convicted burglar. Crowan County Sheriff Todd Dahl says Weber has been terrorizing the community for years with his criminal activity, but he says Weber is now right where he should be in his jail. Weber has made his first court appearance on charges of possession of stolen property and is being held on $40,000 bail.
