In a moment you'll hear James Stewart as the sick shooter. Just one of the many fine programs brought to you Sundays on NBC. Later this evening listen to the NBC Star Playhouse with one of your favorite stars. Here meet the press America's number one news making program and be sure to keep tuned for the dramatic story of communism in America on Last Man Out. It's a wonderful lineup of great programs, all of them heard only on NBC.  The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-died brown. The gun in his holster is grey steel and rainbow mother of pearl. It's handle unmarked. People call them both the sick shooter. NBC Radio Network presents James Stewart as the sick shooter. A transcribed series of radio dramas based on the life of Britt Ponsett. The Texas Plainsmen who wandered through the western territories, leaving behind a trail of still remembered legends. I sure don't know where the town ever got that name. Quiet City. Every time I came through it was anything but quiet. In the old days the Apaches were always stirring up trouble. After the Indians were moved on to the reservation there was still plenty of excitement. It was shooting practically every weekend. At least that's how it was when I was here last. About four or five years ago I guess. Now the town did seem sort of different at first glance. Anyhow there were 20 or 30 new houses along the side of the creek there. The main street was a good four blocks longer than what I remember. Quiet City sure was growing up. Couldn't be any doubt about that. I figured the population must have reached the 1,000 marble, maybe even higher. And all that growing made the place seem well kind of settled and business like. To tell you the truth, Quiet City was almost quiet.  Door to the office was open. Nothing I can do with you. Oh heck, how is it? Britt, you old son of a gun. Why didn't you let a body know you were heading this way? In Norma South to last week, Tim Parker came into some property over by Fulton. He asked me to sit on him for a couple of months so he could take charge. Oh, Fulton, huh? Yeah, yeah, it's real nice. Ah, farm and land. Well Tim wasn't certain. That's all there is over that way now. There ain't no more ranches, Britt, just farms. Well, I guess this part of the country is changing. Yeah, some I reckon. I sure wouldn't have recognized Quiet City, heck. It's not a small town anymore, is it? Well, we've done our share of growing, there ain't no doubt about that. Well, more in your share, I'd say. But the people of the same, Britt, oh, maybe they buy more ready-made clothes than they used to and send most of their kids to school, but that's just a skin change. Underneath ain't no difference.  I've got them under tight rain most of the time. But if I was to turn them loose, well, we'd be right back to where we was 20 years ago. Oh, I don't know about that. Well, I do. Well, what I mean is, Britt, I can't expect human nature to start improving overnight, you know. Oh, that's true enough, yeah. But some folks don't see it my way. They think that just because we've got churches and a schoolhouse and a railroad depot, we're like them towns back east, peaceful and half asleep. We're all you need a sheriff force to lock up the Saturday night drunks. Why, back there, they don't even call them sheriffs. They call them peace officers. Well, I ain't no peace officer. I'm a sheriff, and this is still the West. Sure, sure. Just drop my guard once. That's all I'd need to do. They'd be killing each other right out there in the main street. Well, I guess you'd be the best judge of that. How's Buzz? How's he? Oh, about the same. Four grown, I'll bet. How old is he now? Twenty last birthday. No. That's a big fella, too. Six-foot-three. Oh, well, taller than you are, huh? Me inch or so. You made him a deputy yet? What are you talking about? You always said that when the time came, you were going to fix it so Buzz could just slide right into your boots. Don't you remember that? Yeah, yeah, I remember. But sometimes things don't work out the way a man plans. Uh-huh.  I offered him a job working with me, but he wouldn't have none of it. He's aiming to leave Quiet City. Oh, that's odd. And you know why, Britt, so he can go to school. Uh-huh, I say... It ain't as if I didn't see to it that he got his learning. I promised his mom before she died. I promised her I'd see that he was brung upright. And I kept my word, too. I sent him the very first day, Jane and Wetherby started teaching. And I didn't take him out when he'd learned to just read and write and figure. No, I let him keep on until he got his diploma. I guess that's where I was wrong. I should have took him out before he got too smart for his own good. Oh, heck, now the more education a man gets, the better he's off. I ain't so sure of that. Life ain't in books. How much schooling did you have? Well, a little more wouldn't have done me any harm. You've made out all right and so have I. So what buzz if he'd come to his senses and stay here where he belongs? When's he leaving? No, he was getting his things together when I left the house this morning. Maybe he's going by now for all I know. Oh, no, he wouldn't do that, not without saying goodbye to you. Britt. Yeah? I was just thinking. If Buzz still is here, if he hasn't left yet, maybe you could talk. Don't hold on. He won't listen to me, Britt. But if you were to... Oh. What do you want, Buzz? I'd like to speak to you if you're not too busy, that is. For a minute, heck didn't answer. Buzz stared at the leather satchel in his son's hand. Buzz was a big fella, all right? Husky, plenty of muscles. But somehow his face didn't match his body, especially his eyes. They were kind of tired-looking. And he kept blinking as though he wasn't used to the daylight. And there were wrinkles in his forehead too. Not the kind you get from riding against the sun, just little creases that made him look older than it really was.  Oh, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. It's been quite a spell.  I wouldn't have known you in a month of Sundays. Well, if you'll excuse me. No, no, there's no reason for you to go, Britt. I just wanted to tell Pa goodbye. I'm taking the four o'clock train east, Pa. I see. I'll be back someday. That's mighty considerate of you. So long. Just you hold up, I'm on it, young fella. You won't pay no attention to me. I know that. Well, Britt here ain't got no extra grind. If he says you're local, if he says you're going off in a wild goose chase, maybe then you'll- Now, heck, heck, this isn't any of my concern. Even if it was- You ain't heard it all, Britt. You don't know what he aims to do with this extra school. A lawyer. That's what he wants to be. Oh. That's what I'm gonna be, Pa. Tell him the rest of it, Buzz. Tell him how you're gonna come back here and practice law. Ain't that rich, Britt? Quiet city. He's gonna have a full-fledged lawyer. Look, Pa, do we have to go all over that again? Why, you'll be the laughing stock. This town ain't got no use for a lawyer. Never will have it. A sheriff. That's what the town will need, a new sheriff. I ain't getting any younger, Britt. First thing you know, I'll be 60. A 60-year-old sheriff won't be able to hold folks in check. Not for long. Yeah, sure. They'll need a new sheriff. And I'm sorry that I'm just not the man for the job. You could be that man if you wanted to. Yes, but I don't want to, Pa. I want to be a lawyer. And I'll be more used to the town that way. Oh, look, you've got to understand. These are different times. What's so different about them? Everything. You think we're still living on the frontier. You think that star in your vest and that six-gun in your holster is still the only law around here? Well, you're wrong, Pa. You're dead wrong. This isn't the frontier anymore. You're not the law. You're just supposed to carry it out. I think that would have been doing all these years. Ah, look, I'm not saying that your way isn't what the town needed once, but your job is done. You can't expect me to take up where you left off. I'm not you, Pa. This isn't the same town it was.  Ah, Britt. You see what I mean, Britt. Well, maybe he's right, Ag. You think everything's changed, too? Well, some things, anyway. What about folks themselves? Deep down inside. They're still the same. Some of them are decent and law-abiding, and others as mean as the devil and always will be. You just won't believe the town's civilized now, will you? You'll see how civilized it is when the chips are down. You'll see, Mr. Lawyer. Well, it looks like we just don't agree, Pa, and we never will, so... It's nice seeing you again, Britt. Ah, yeah. Ah, good seeing you, Pa. So long, Pa. Good luck. Hey, Buzz. Hey, Buzz. Hello, man, man. Yeah, I hear, Doc. It's time to get out to James Martin's place. There's been a shooting. Five-clamper done it. Folks say that James has hurt bad. Now tell your pa to get right out there. Okay, Doc. Got to him. There you are. That's how much quiet city has changed, Buzz. Folks still shooting each other, still taking the law in their own hands. Sure are civilized, ain't they? Well, I'll go with you, Pa. What for? So you can advise Pipe Clamper of his lawful rights when I arrest him? Get out of my way, Buzz. I've got work to do. Ain't been a shooting, Britt, for over two years now. Well, I reckon there's been one today. Yeah. Looks like Pa was right. All my talk about this town growing up is just what it was. Talk. Maybe so. Maybe so. Well, I better get over to Jason Orton's and see if Pa needs help. He's not as young as he used to be. He tries to take Pipe Clamper alone. Well, do you think he'd let you help him even if he needed it? No, no. I guess he wouldn't. With somebody. But now he wouldn't appreciate me interfering in his business either. Well, now, if you just happen to be riding out east of town, sort of stopped off? East, huh? Yeah. The Norton Ranch right next to Old Miss Bradley's place. Oh, is that so? That's so. Well, that's quite a coincidence. Oh? Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, I was figuring on dropping in on Maddie Bradley before I left town. Maybe have supper with her if she invited me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's getting on toward supper now. Oh, you don't say. Time sure does fly, doesn't it? I had no idea, though. We'll return to James Stewart as the sick shooter in just a moment. But right now, I want you to hear something that may startle you. At least, I hope it will. It's simply this. Within the next 20 seconds, a fire will break out somewhere in the United States. Lives may be lost, property damaged, homes or buildings destroyed. Yes, there are 4,600 fires in America each day of the year. They kill 11,000 persons, and this figure will severely burn thousands more. By obeying a few simple rules of fire prevention from now on, you and I can protect ourselves and our families from this devastating menace. Rule one is an obvious one. Don't smoke in bed or discard lighted cigarettes carelessly. Rule two, clean out old newspapers, magazines and other inflammable debris. Rule three, use only those cleaning fluids which will not burn. And last but not least, be careful with matches. Above all, keep them out of the reach of small children. Remember, it doesn't pay to gamble with fire. The odds are against you every time. Act two of the sick shooter, starring James Stewart as Britt Ponsett.    For a minute or so, Hack just stood there nodding, and then he shifted his weight and noticed me out of the corner one eye. Come on up, Britt. Easy, boy. Easy. I just on my way over to Miss Bradley that I, I thought... This is Britt Ponsett, Mrs. Norton. Ponsett. I'm pleased to meet you, ma'am. I sure hope your husband is... Jace is dead. Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I planned for murdering him. I seen him do it. I've seen it all through the kitchen window. I'm sorry. How did it start, Mabel? They's arguing about some cows that had strayed onto our land. Pipe said Jace was trying to steal them that he'd fixed our fences so they'd come through. But it wasn't true, Sheriff. It wasn't true. Sure, sure. Jace was aiming to take the cows back. He told me at breakfast this morning I've got to run some of Pipe's cattle back to him. That's what Jace said at breakfast this morning. Hadn't had time to do it yet. Been busy with chores and things. Mary was foaling. Jace hadn't had time, but he was going to take them back, he told me so. No, no, no.  I heard him quarreling out and back. Pipe and Jace. I didn't think nothing of it. Pipe's always quarreling with everybody. You know that. Yeah, I know. And the next thing I knew, I heard a shot. I thought Pipe was just trying to scare Jace until I saw Jace fall down.  No. Toward the canyon. Over that way. I remember asking myself why is Pipe heading toward the canyon? His ranch is out of the way. It just hadn't dawned on me yet. What he'd done, that he was running away. Yes. Well, it's turning chilly.  Yeah? Doc Anderson is sending somebody out to pick supper and stay with you tonight. You'll find Pipe, Sheriff. You'll find him. Bring him back. Sure, sure. I'll find him. You want me to help you out? No. I can manage. Yeah, here we are. I'm pleased to have met you, Mr. Ponsage. Thank you, ma'am. I've heard of you, haven't I? He's the sixth shooter, Mabel. Sixth shooter? Mm-hmm. Oh, of course that's why. I'm glad you're here, Mr. Ponsage. I'm glad you're going with the sheriff.  Even if he wasn't punished for what he did to Jake. I wouldn't want there to be another killer. Glad you're going with the sheriff. Well, looks like I've got me a deputy after all. Well, Buzz was willing to come hack he wanted to. I'd rather have you, Brit. Let's go. Well, we picked up the Pipe Clamper's trail about sundown. At least it was the only freight trail heading toward the canyon, so we figured Pipe had made it. The next couple of hours was pretty dark, so we had to move slow, keeping our eyes glued to the ground. Then long about eight o'clock the moon came out and we could make better time. We were in the canyon now. The way the hoof marks were spaced, we could tell that Pipe's horse was getting tired and Pipe had to be forced to ride a little ease. Looks like we might be gaining on him, Brit. Yeah, yeah. Any place around here he could hole up? An old train post about a mile ahead been deserted since the Indians moved south. He could be there. Brit, maybe you think it's funny I wanted you to go along with me tonight, but it's not that I couldn't bring Pipe Clamper in alone, but there's more to it than that. It's when we get back to town but that's when I'll need you. You see, Jason Norton was a well-liked man. He lived in quiet cities, well, practically from the very beginning. Everybody knew him, everybody liked him. But nobody has any use for Pipe Clamper. Like I told you, some fellas are just mean. Pipe's one of them. Anyway, what I'm getting at is this. Jason's a brother, Abe Norton, and he'll be fighting mad when he finds out what happened. He'll be killing mad and the whole town will go along with him. You mean they might try and lynch Pipe? They'll try. Well, you can't be certain of that, Hank. I know the town, Brit. There hasn't been any trouble for two years, and that's a long time. A lot of pressure builds up in two years.  I hope you'll be willing to give me a hand. Well, you know I'll do what I can, Hank. It's him, Brit. It's up there behind the tree. The bullet smashed into Hex's leg and tore him right out of the saddle. I dived off scarred to cover behind a rock. There was a clump of trees hanging on the side of the canyon about a hundred yards ahead. I can make out something that looked like a building with a carved totem pole out in front of it. I figured that was the trade-in post Hex had been telling us about, but the shots weren't coming from inside. Whoever was firing was using the Indian post for a shield. You all right, Hex?  I'm afraid I can't move it, though. Well, I'll get over to you. No, no. You stay where you are. I'm... I'm out of his range. There's a tree between me and him. But it looks like you'll have to take him, Brit. I said I wouldn't need you till we got back to town, but... It looks like... It sounded like Hex had passed out. I raised my head up to the edge of the boulder when I couldn't see Hex. There's a great big fir tree right in front of him. Well, that meant pipe clapper couldn't see him either. He sure could see me, though. That moonlight was just pouring down on that rock where I was hiding, and if I so much as moved, I was right in plain sight. I waited a couple of minutes. I hadn't done any firing yet. Maybe he'd think I was hit. Maybe he'd come over after me. Yeah. Yeah, that was my best chance. I listened hard. I couldn't hear anything. He was still behind that totem pole, still plain as safe. And as long as the moon kept me pinpointed, I... Oh. I looked up in the sky just in time to see a great big cloud float toward the orange circle over my head. It ain't big white cloud. Big enough to give me a minute of dark. It was still moving, sweeping across the stars now. And then it hit the edge of the moon. I swung out from behind the rock and I headed toward the trees between me and the trading post. The pipe pole heard me all right. Not in time, though. Not until I was up beside one of the trees, about 30 yards from where he was waiting. And this guy was beginning to lighten up now, and I saw pipe's arm inch in around the edge of the totem pole. I knew a slug in his arm wasn't going to be enough. I pushed up on him a hunch as I ran forward. He raised his gun, ready to get off another shot. I twisted one side of that fire. His shot was close, but he missed me. I hadn't done much better. But I was as flat as I could, moving real slow. Not more than a foot every two or three minutes, and he'd strain on my ears, grinding ear and breathe. He had ease in a... Now get in your feet! He stood up. His face came into the moonlight, and he took a step forward. And then his left hand jerked out toward me. My bullet hit his shoulder and spun him around, and he crashed into the totem pole. And for a second, I thought it was going to topple over with him, but it held firm. No, as a matter of fact, Doc Anderson said you ought to become two about now. My leg... No, it's going to be all right. Doc says for you just not fuss about it. It'll be all right. You're bringing me home, Bruce. I don't know how you manage, but... Oh, Pa, I feel it. Fine, Buzz. Just first rate. See, you didn't leave town. Nope, nope, didn't leave. Well, I guess maybe what Pipe done wasn't all of the bad. Not a bit brunger to your senses. It's something, anyhow.  No, no, no, he's kind of worse for wear, but he'll be patched up in time for a trial. Well, where is he? The Doc's looking after him. You mean he ain't in jail? You mean nobody's guarding him but Doc Anderson? Well, we weren't very worried about him running off. That ain't what I'm talking about. Britt, I told you what had happened. I told you what Jace Norton's brother would do. Oh, all that. Well, you see, heck, Abe Norton's already been around. He's gone back to his ranch now. Gone back? See, folks just wouldn't pay any attention to him. Oh, sure, they all feel real bad about Jace. Like you said, they wouldn't. They all think that Pipe deserves a hanging, but they're pretty convinced that's what the judge will give him. The judge? Oh, but that don't make sense. Well, that's the truth for everybody satisfied that there'll be a fair trial and that Pipe will get what's coming to him. Why? Why, in the old days, they wouldn't have stood still but not for five minutes. Well, I guess these aren't the old days. Then... then Buzz was right. Let's talk about quiet city being civilized. Don't fret yourself about it now, Pa. Oh, it just don't seem possible. This ain't the same town. These folks ain't the same. Well, what happened to him, Britt? Oh, I don't know. I guess maybe a town grows up just like a person, Hank. And, uh... and I guess maybe you had something to do with it, too. Me? Mm-hmm. You see, somebody taught him to respect the law and to try to live up to it. And if it wasn't you, I sure don't know who it was. Well, Buzz stayed around quiet city until the heck was on his feet again. And then Heck himself sent the boy east to college. That was all, let's see, three, four years ago, yeah? The last time I was through that way, Buzz had come home. You see, Buzz was running for county attorney. Yes, and the way Heck was managing his campaign, well, if that election didn't turn out to be a landslide, I sure missed my guess. Until recent years, misconceptions prompted many to feel that a diagnosis of heart disease was a death sentence. But today, thanks to medical science and the educational work of your Heart Association, we're learning that most people with heart disease can work and lead happy lives. But the real answer to heart disease lies in heart research and community heart programs which can be expanded through your continued support of the Heart Fund. This is not only Valentine's Day, but it's Heart Sunday. So make it a point to give to your local Heart Association now. And remember, when you help your Heart Fund, you help your heart.

We're at PDAC with Jeff Swinoga from Exploits. Exploits. Exploits Discovery. Exploits Discovery. Yeah. And you've got gold in Newfoundland. That's right. Okay, so where do we start? What are you planning to do at PDAC and tell me more about your gold project? Yeah, so it's an exciting project we've been working on since last year. But maybe just stepping back, we're a 15 million market cap company with $7 million in cash. And our dream is to be the next Newfound Gold and Newfoundland. We've got a very large land package just north of them. And more importantly, we've got a very strategic claim called Bullseye. And in the last year, there's been five gold discoveries just south of our Bullseye property, like literally within like 100 meters of our border. So Newfound Gold came out with even Vegas last week. So they came out with Everest, K2, Honeypot, Jackpot all within the last year. We had our own gold discovery last year called Horseshoe. And Eric Sparrow owns about 16%. Newfound Gold himself owns 8% of us. We've got a fantastic, all-local, talented team in Gainer, Newfoundland. And hopefully our dream is to be the next billion-dollar company in Newfoundland. Okay. Well, you heard it here first, and I'm immediately interested. What is your trading symbol, please? Oh, it's NFLD. Yeah. You managed to get NFLD? Yeah. No, it's fantastic. I thought about changing the name to a kind of a football theme, but no, it's a great ticker. Okay. Well, I grew up in Tennessee, so we can talk football here. So let's talk about your play on the field in Newfoundland. We are familiar and understand the Closology is obviously your play. Well, it's Closology, but also we're seeing the same type of mineralization and with our recent discovery called Horseshoe. So we've got the same Appleton Fault kind of running through our property that Newfound has got. You know, Newfound is a $800 million company. They had 18 gold discoveries over the last four years, hugely successful. And we're kind of following that same fault line going north, and we've got the property to the north. So Bullseye is fantastic. It's a small property right in where you want to be within a couple kilometers of where all the gold discoveries are. But we've got a much larger property called Gazebo, which has got seven plus kilometers to the north along the Alpenet. So you literally could fit all of Newfound's gold discoveries into our Gazebo property. So we're drilling Bullseye right now. We're hoping to come up with acid results in about two or three weeks. We're not done there. We want to go back and do some more drilling. Hopefully have a couple more gold discoveries, but we want to get to Gazebo because we think Bullseye, our property is kind of the spark for our company to kind of show that we're so near we're going to have a couple of gold discoveries there. But then we want to get to Gazebo, which could be our billion dollar play. Okay. So can you tell me when you picked up Bullseye and Horseshoe, for instance, was that just last year or the year before? You know, great question because we beat out probably about a hundred other companies getting our Bullseye and Gazebo property. About a year and a half ago, there was a staking rush for these key properties and we worked really hard to the guys to kind of call in. It's like getting ticket masters at Taylor Swift. You know, so you have to dial in, you have to type in all your details and the first one in, the first one lowest time wins. So we were able to pick up Bullseye, Gazebo, Eric Sprott called me up right away and said, how did you beat out all of your competitors? And we were super pleased. The guys in Gander were doing high fives. We weren't kind of planning to be successful. Our stock went from like 15 cents to 35 and we had to get a press release out right away. So it was great. Well, you've managed to sink in Taylor Swift and Eric Sprott into this interview and of course the trading symbol is fabulous, NFLD.  Yeah, sure. We've got a great board. Random good luck because you have horseshoe and horseshoes. Yeah, well, yeah. So Doug Cater's one of our board members. He was the VP of exploration for Kirkland Lake. So he kind of worked for Eric when he was chair. So when they were looking at Fosterville, the most highest grade proffomile in the world, down in Australia, he sent Doug down with Tony McCooch to do the due diligence. So having Doug on our board is a fantastic source of insight and knowledge to organic gold. We also have Larry Short. He's a self-made wealth advisor in Newfoundland. Fantastic knows everyone. Siri Genek. She does consulting for sustainability. She's fantastic. And then Rod husband. He's a kind of evaluation geologist.  And how he got the claims. It was interesting. About a year and a half ago, we really couldn't stake much because the way we were doing things wasn't fast enough. So I sat down with the head of the claims office and I said, how do we get faster? And he said, well, I can't tell you Jeff. And so I'd run a couple of scenarios by him. I said, what if we hire 500 people dialing at the same time? He goes, well, that's fine. And I said, what if we get the fastest typist in the world on five Red Bulls, typing in the details so we can be the fastest. Well, that's fine too. And then I said, what if we're like a Formula One team? And we have like three guys with mouse over here, a couple of keyboards and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Right? So we employed a couple of different techniques and we did a test case on one of the claims. We got that. And then literally a month later, these claims are coming up. So, you know, we kind of peaked in what we were doing. And so we were, again, we didn't really plan to be successful, that successful, but we were. And it was just a real game changer for us. So what I told you is what I told Eric's part as well. It's a bit of intellectual property, what we do in terms of staking, but I know we're very happy. 15 million market cap, lots of luck.

I'm Dr. Steven Windsor. I'm a medical oncologist and hematologist here at the Cancer Center at Riverview. I think what makes the treatment they receive here stand out is that this is a fully comprehensive facility with a variety of services that they may not be able to receive at other institutions. And we provide the state-of-the-art care in both a comprehensive and collaborative environment. Being treated in the area where you live, where your support system is, you're not traveling to a large city or another city in order to get your care. And I think that's very important. I think access to care and access to obviously state-of-the-art care is something that we can provide here and provide it well. So I don't think patients have to travel to get excellent care. I think they can receive it right in their own backyard. We do have a great nurse navigator program here at Riverview that tracks the patients that keeps track of their appointments, their consults, because it can be a very confusing time, I think, for patients. And they can kind of get lost in the shuffle. And that's why we have a group of very dedicated healthcare professionals that keep them on track. With our multidisciplinary clinics, the goal is to try to have everyone on board at the onset of the time the diagnosis is made and then follow the patient collaboratively throughout the patient's course. So I think this is a big benefit for our patients. It gets us something that affects all of us at one point or another, either personally or with family members or friends. And I think just the opportunity to work with people and try to get them through it is probably what I enjoy the most.

Aloha and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Outside In, the show that examines how the external world can help shape Hawaii's future. I'm your host, Pauline Shaktmakjian. And today we're going to be discussing broadening the scope of the Hawaiian media. And here to help me do this this morning is a gentleman who I'm sure is familiar to all of you. He is Mr. Jay Fidel, the founder and president of Think Tech Hawaii. Good morning, Jay. Good morning, Pauline. Nice to be here with you. Oh, thank you for inviting me to start this new show. You've broadened the scope of Think Tech Hawaii itself. So we're going to be discussing the Hawaiian media this morning and some of the ways that we can help improve it. And I just wanted to ask you, for those viewers and listeners who aren't as familiar with the history of Think Tech, why did you decide to start your own media outlet in the first place? Okay. It was 2001. It was not too long after 9-11. We had a small group of four of us who were interested in getting out with news about technology because that was all the rage right then. And it was the last few months of 2001 when we set up a website about technology, ThinkTechHawaii.com. And since I knew some of the people at Hawaii Public Radio, we decided, I remember where and when in the restaurant and all that, we decided that we wanted to try to make a pitch to have a radio show about technology. And we called them up and we pitched this to them and they said, oh, okay. It took a while to evolve the concept and the way it worked in the format of the radio show. But by very early 2002, we were rolling. And we had a weekly radio show, 5 to 6 p.m. every Wednesday. We maintained that for eight years. So it was the beginning of a new experience for all of us. We all knew it was going to change our lives. And it did. And I think it also changed the lives of the people we invited onto the show, our guests, from all walks all around technology mostly. Okay, brilliant. And for those less familiar with the history, can you give us sort of a potted timeline of the crucial events and how ThinkTechHawaii progressed from this original idea in a restaurant all the way up to what you've got now, which are a lot of hosts. You were getting more and more hosts hosting different shows on different subjects, not just technology. So if you could just sort of do the leaps of progression. Well, we were bursting at the seams with things other than technology, you know, at the end of the throw in our original radio show. We were covering all kinds of things.  But in fact, we were looking at other areas and trying to reach other listener groups. So in 2008, we left Hawaii Public Radio, and we started doing AM Radio. We had a show on AM Radio for a while. And then we started doing, we actually broadcast from my law office. We set up equipment in my law office, and that's what we broadcast from. And around 2009 or 10, we started doing video. We realized that video was the future of citizen broadcasts, you know, citizen journalists, if you will. And we had a camera set up in my office. And then we got a studio in my office building, courtesy our landlord. And then we moved to another building, this building actually, in the lower level of this building, which was a small space. And I think it was a 2014 or so that we, maybe halfway through 2014, we actually took this space. And this space has been really wonderful. You can see the green screen. There it is. You can see the green screen. And we had more space to work with, more equipment, more underwriters, God bless them. And we could do more with more people to help us. And we gradually increased the number of hosts and guests. And your number of viewers is also increasing, is that right? Yes, oh yes, of course. And can you detect where the viewers are watching from? Are they necessarily always from Hawaii or are you getting international? Oh, it's definitely international. Yeah.  But we post everything on youtube.com. And YouTube, and both of them are international, you know, it's the internet. But YouTube goes far and wide. And sometimes it becomes viral, and it's amazing. We had a show last week that has already had something over 40,000 hits. Wow, that's brilliant. What was the subject on that? It was Asia, politics in Taiwan. Yeah. Okay. And I was just interested, because that's wonderful what you're doing with Think Tech Hawaii. But it started very recently, because as we discussed when we met previously, the major print newspaper here is the Star Advertiser. So there was sort of a rage for newspaper reading towards the latter half of the 19th century. And that's where newspapers really took off. Because I took the Royal History Course at Eolani Palace, which I think they do every year. And I took it a few years ago. And we were all noticing, those of us who were on the course, that whenever there was a lavish party, or some entertainment for some visiting dignitary by the king and queen of Hawaii, that there would be several newspapers reporting on this. There were quite a few of them. It wasn't just one newspaper. So I was just wanting your opinion about what actually happened to cause all those newspapers to die out. And then you just had the Star Advertiser for a long time until things like Civil Beat appeared, until things like Think Tech Hawaii appeared, or things like Pacific Business News, which is a smaller publication geared to the business community. But you know, there were a lot more options previously. So what do you think happened there? Well, I think there's probably a, it's a dynamic formula out there, as to how many print newspapers a given community can support. And the dynamic part of it is that the technology changes, the educational level, the interest of the public changes, the availability of journalists change, the way people see newspapers as part of their lives or not over the years. So yeah, I imagine the turn of the, you know, the 20th century 1900, there were a lot of newspapers as they were all over the country, probably over the world. It didn't take too much to have a newspaper. I mean, it's quite fun to have a variety of newspapers, because for example, in London or in the United Kingdom, we've got several different options for newsreaders to select from in terms of the print newspaper. So for example, you've got the Independent, you've got the Times, you've got the Daily Telegraph, you've got the Guardian. So it's interesting because a lot of people do read the paper were on while they're on their commute on the rail or on the underground, or even when they're in the street just waiting around for somebody. You see a lot of people reading the paper, not so much nowadays, but in the past 10 years or so before YouTube emerged. I think people do not read print press very much anymore. Well, in England, they still do. We still do. It's very, very common in the private clubs. There's always a selection of newspapers for you to select from. It's very nice. It's very interesting because you can identify the political persuasion of somebody because of the choice of newspaper that they've selected. For example, by and large people who read the Daily Telegraph will be more conservative in their political leanings. People who read the Guardian will most likely be Labour voters. Sometimes people read more than one paper to get the different viewpoints. So that's true. Yeah. So that's quite interesting when that happens. And you get the sort of selection that's available. And it's a bit like playing poker. You can identify the political persuasion. It's like everybody's playing a game of poker, but they're showing their cards, so to speak. It's quite interesting. We live in a little bubble of what we read. But the same process, the same phenomenon, exists with television news, don't you think?  And you can get what you want. And when you reveal what you're looking at, people know a lot about you, really. And what do you think about civil beat? Because that's appeared in the past seven years or so. And it's quite interesting because it's an online format of news. And they've got very quick because people's attention spans have sort of plummeted in the past few years with all the electronic technology. So what do you think about that quick news? People just want to hear a quick headline and want to see something quick and just the facts. And they do that quite well. Yeah, a quick local news. That's what they're, although they do have national news sometimes, and especially in the day of Trump, the age of Trump here, everybody wants to cover him. But they, they roll it out at like four a.m. in the morning every day. And if you're on their list, it's easy to get on because it's free now. You can, you can see their view of local news. They have what I would consider citizen journalism, you don't have to be professional to write for a civil beat. And they cover local stories. And I think it's a real contribution to the community. Yes, I like it because of the quickness as well, not necessarily because I have a short attention span, but because it's quick. There's a variety of different things. The homepage is neat so you can pick which headlines you're looking at. People do comment on them. They do censor comments quite a bit because I think people get impassioned sometimes with particularly sensitive issues. But I think they're doing pretty well. So again, it's an outside idea by Omidyar, who is... Yeah, well, it's a new idea. And I, you know, you could, you could do what he is doing so many different ways. This is his brand of how you do this. And I think it's basically working. It's a, it's a good contribution to the community. And the other thing, if we could just move away from the print media, we go to the television. And you've got a few channels here. And I remember you told me when we first met that you had sat on the board of one particular news channel. I was just a member of an advisory group. Okay, so you were a member of the advisory group. And you had suggested making the Hawaiian news a little bit more international. For example, Australia is an excellent example of a country that has a variety of news from different countries. So I was doing one of my lecture tours in Australia last year. And I had a weekend off in Sydney, which is a fantastic city. A lovely way to spend a weekend. Yes, and I had a little break and I was looking at their television and they reported on the American elections when that was going on. They were talking about Cameron in the run up to the Brexit vote. This was around March, the same time around last year. And they also reported on the adorable little new species of octopus that was found in deep in the Hawaiian waters, which I think ThinkTech did do a show about here.  And every hour on the hour they're talking all these serious things with the Brexit and the American elections. And then you had this octopus appearing from Hawaii. I said oh, that's very sweet of them to report on the Hawaiian news as well. So wouldn't be interesting, for example, if the Hawaiian news channels talked about Australia a bit so we know about our Pacific neighbors. I agree with you absolutely Paulie. That's what we should be doing. But you know it's the old question of can a given community afford? Can it support news like that? And I think from a business point of view the answer is no. We have three channels that cover the news here. And it's just in my view not enough. It's not broad enough. It doesn't cover international news except maybe very secondhand. And what we need to do is provide people with more information about the world in which we live. We are remote. We're an island in the middle of 2600 miles is the closest landmass. And we need to be informed. We need to be an exchange of information. We need to be a center of something. We need to be part of the Pacific Rim, Pacific region. And to do that we all have to be informed. So I'm not sure how you do it, but I think it's not what you perceive the people want. It's what you decide the people should have. That's different. And I think that's what we need to do. Okay. Well, I'm sure there's a way to do it. It's just difficult when you're an isolated island chain that you have to have reporters on the ground. And even if we confine it to the Asia Pacific region, they have to be there to get the first hand. Well, it doesn't take that much. I mean for example we've had correspondence in Asia. We've had we was non-profit with nothing. We've had a regular correspondence in Asia. We've had regular correspondence in Europe. We've had regular correspondence in the Middle East. We can reach out and we can find volunteers. That's our model.  All over the place with Skype. This is wonderful that we can do this because we offer them a platform and we offer people an opportunity to see what a wide variety of hosts can think of and connect with. Gee whiz. And we don't censor them in any way. They can talk about whatever they want. Within reason, yes. And speaking of which, the only time I have to silence a guest is when we have to take a break. So we will be right back after this short break. Aloha. This is Kelea Akeena with the weekly Ehana Kako. Let's work together program on the Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network Mondays at 2 o'clock PM. Movers and shakers and great ideas. Join us. We'll see you then. Aloha. Aloha and happy new year. It's 2017. Please keep up with me on Power Up Hawaii where Hawaii comes together to talk about a clean and just energy future. Please join me on Tuesdays at one o'clock. Mahalo. My name is Mark Schlauwe and I'm the host of Law Across the Sea. And Law Across the Sea is a program that brings attorneys who have traveled across the sea and live in Hawaii or are staying in Hawaii for a time to talk about their travels, where they're from, where they're going, and bring it all together because really we're all connected some way although we travel across the sea. So I hope that you'll tune in and watch our program. Thank you very much. Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and after that short break we're going to now get into some satire. This is the comical version of the media that we want to explore because I just wanted to ask you Jay, when we meet sometimes one of your pet peeves about society in general and perhaps the method of communication the media is that things are being dumbed down. You get the sense that things are being dumbed down and if it makes you feel any better, actually for a very long time for thousands of years since recorded history, I mean most people have been dumb. I've been in a kind of unconscious state and it's only in the past really 200 years that you know the masses have had this semi-consciousness arise and that comes from more print, more news, more communication outlets being made available to larger numbers of people. So are you a little bit more optimistic when you hear something like that even though for a long period of time there was nothing. I'm not optimistic. Sorry I mean I'm optimistic. I believe that humankind is perfectible ultimately but right now I'm not particularly optimistic. I feel that people are not getting enough news. They're not well educated about the things that matter and worse you know it's the old thing about the fish.  Tell him how to fish so he can catch his own fish and that means critical thinking and we have to you know teach and focus on critical thinking especially in the world of the internet where you get disparate sources, you do get fake news, you get silly news, you get good news is distracting and if you don't watch out you become ignorant. A lot of people get confused. We cannot afford that. We need to be intelligent voters and look what happened in the last election. It's the barometer. Yeah it's interesting the last election something new, something different so that we'll have to wait and see what becomes of it. But do you know what it is? Sorry. Let's wait let's wait and see and so do you think small island communities like Hawaii particularly those are that are very isolated in the middle of an ocean. They suffer from brain drain a lot of the time so do you think if there was more news better analytical news here that it would draw the people who leave Hawaii get them to come back more would communication be one of the things that would induce people to take a greater interest in Hawaii? What do you think about that? Well I think it's possible. I think we need to focus on it. Last night I attended the annual Board of Governors meeting of the Pacific Forum CSIS if you know about that and there were five six hundred people there who I consider all well engaged and well aware of international events as they affect the Pacific Rim and Hawaii and I think that's what we've got to do. 500 or 600 people is not nearly enough. The whole state should be aware of these things. We live in that world and our future is dependent on understanding that world so I'm impatient about people a learning about that understanding how important it is and using critical thinking to discern the wheat from the chaff. So one of the ways that European communities sometimes deal with this problem is to develop satirical press so because comedy sometimes works if you make fun of something people will become more engaged with the subject. That's why that's why not only Saturday Night Live but the Italian politician for example is very popular in Italy and he's a professional comedian. So if you make fun of something if you look at one of my favorite comedians is George Carlin and sadly he died way too young and he's no longer with us but if you look at his later work as he aged it got very serious and political actually and we live in a society where everything is more casual it's more relaxed it wasn't serious like it was two thousand three thousand years ago because if you remove George Carlin's clothes and put him in a toga he look almost like a Greek philosopher or Roman senator or something like that and he has to do it through comedy because people want to be entertained now they don't want to think necessarily it's too much work and you can get your message across through comedy and the Europeans picked up on that because we've got satirical press for example private eye in the United Kingdom which is kind of schoolboy humor but they actually do very serious pieces of investigative journalism as well in addition to the sort of silly absurdist humor that they've got and you've also got the print media like Le Canard en Genet in France that makes political commentaries analyzes the corporate world what's going on in business and politics mostly so do you think something like that could emerge in Hawaii or do you think comedy really only works in really miserable places like large cities such as New York and London you know they used to be a number of stand-up comics here and they would make fun of things in Hawaii they would make fun of politics in Hawaii and they were wonderful because you know in all of comedy Pauline you knew this already there is truth yes in fact there is tragedy in you a comedy and so when these stand-up comics Frank DeLima was one of them but there were others too Andy Bumatai was another one what happened to them well they're not performing anymore for one reason or another they're not performing they're doing one of them does tech Andy Bumatai does tech and Frank DeLima does television ads for taxi cabs and the like maybe he does stand up somewhere but I haven't seen it has there been any attempt in Hawaii to do any sort of news media in the form of print or YouTube videos or something like this on a satirical scale on a sort of comedic scale you think that's a good idea everybody has a more relaxed attitude in general so you know what are the problems about say Frank DeLima is that his a lot of his humor was based on the the melting pot of the plantation and comparing contrasting racial you know cultures in Hawaii and there's a lot of fun there but it was politically it became not originally but it became politically incorrect so you know there was a problem of criticism over jokes he was making yeah I had heard that that's commonplace in Hawaii because everybody's mixed here you know you have people who's what one parent is Korean the others Japanese one is Chinese the others who I so everybody kind of takes that very likely here that's what I was well they do but you know I think the whole notion of political correctness has entered hard to it's hard to make in public on in the media joke that's not politically correct and a racial joke is not usually politically correct it's funny people like it I like it but but you can't do that on a regular basis in the media and that's probably one of the principles of think tech Hawaii for example you don't want any shrill commentary or rude anything that offend somebody else so we try to keep it polite but at the same time you you can strike a balance and making a little bit provocative right so you can get more viewers and more discussion going on a particular issue I don't think we seek provocative and I don't think we seek politically correct or not politically correct what we seek is the truth what we seek is candor what we seek is people telling honestly how they feel about something and we achieve that in many cases in many ways with many hosts and guests and that's tremendously valuable it's a contribution also so I would say you know if we were out to entertain specifically entertain I wouldn't feel the same way about it I just want people to tell the truth okay brilliant and can they handle the truth that's a lot that's the that's the question so just on a final note I want to discuss what you think is the future of Hawaiian media there are some sources that predict that within the next 10 years in about 2028 or so newspapers will be obsolete everybody will be getting their news from some sort of electronic resource or something like in Elysium where we can download news automatically into our brains or something like that because the technology you know that the military are 50 years ahead in terms of technology over everybody else it's like the internet the internet was originally a military project and then it we get the sort of bones that they throw so while those things look scary the people do actually use them that when they catch on after a long period of time is passed so once the fear is gone you have things like that so I just wanted your opinion of what you think is going to happen to the media here what do you think would happen to the star advertiser what do you think will happen to things like civil beat or even think tech Hawaii yourself hmm that's an interesting question for me well I I think of a brave new world and what was the other one brave new world and 1984 1984 exactly I think of the futuristic situation where there's somebody big brother is up there manipulating the news and I think we're tending to that I mean the original news is only from a very few sources and a lot of news is you know it's it's questionable whether there's an agenda there trying to pitch you a certain way of thinking and you know it's being controlled by a smaller number of capital concentrations all the time the old you know 1900s kind of you know arrangement where there were lots of news organs all around you and they all very independent and they would disagree with each other that's I don't think that's the case for the future I think what's going to happen though is the internet is going to be the tumultuous area and although these big capital concentrations will offer us as you know a lot of pablum or a lot of you know agenda type news I think the internet is the upstart and I think it will continue and I think there'll be lots of sources lots of opinions lots of wild things happening on the internet it's at least so far it's really not controllable not controlled it's a wonderful you know example of conversation in its most liberated form on the other hand as I said before we have got to be doing critical thinking about what we get off that and we've got to decide which sources to look at what reports to believe or not believe and we all have to work together to use that you know that source of knowledge there's various knowledge various channels of knowledge and if we don't do that our democracy is threatened and this this kind of approach might help with the apathy in Hawaii among Hawaiian voters for example a lot of people don't vote here very much and I think one gentleman in the house proposed a bill doing the conscripted voting like Australia has forcing people to vote and that I don't think that's the best way forward you can't force people to do things particularly Americans and especially Hawaiians I don't think that's the right approach but if we had more dialogue that was not not necessarily rude or trying to troll people this more thought-provoking type of media then it might improve that situation you know democracy and patriotism true patriotism instead of you know desperate patriotism begins in school it begins with teaching children who are going to be citizens what their obligations are as citizens it begins teaching them you know that there's a social compact between every citizen and the country and they are responsible for the country just as a country is responsible for them and I think in large you know large countries large population groups that has been forgotten and certainly I believe it's been forgotten in the U.S. people do not see themselves as part of the government they do not see obligations to the government the government is you know an adverse party and some presidents think the press is an adverse party that we have got really gotta get over that if we want to if you want to retain our democracy well very wise words things to think about Jay thank you for being my first guest on outside in and just to let everybody know I have to like Casper the friendly octopus I have to disappear for several months but I will be back in the new year and that's when we'll start a more regularly scheduled programming for outside in and we're going to be discussing a range of subjects from history philosophy art and architecture all the way to robotics biotech bitcoin things like cryptocurrency and digital currency which are all very exciting and until I see you in the new year safe travels and aloha everybody


I know the road cones in Kentucky State Police are out here enforcing speed and different things of that nature, but the only thing I can tell y'all if you're all out and about through this way slow down, pay attention because it's not only a danger for other cars but you know you've got cones in the road and everything like that.


What is HEMA? HEMA is short for hydroxy-etoxymetacrylate, so HEMA is in fact an acrylate monomer. Monomer means one, so it's a short molecule and it's used in the polymerization process of UV curing nail enhancement products. Since HEMA is a small molecule, it is more reactive and it can cause allergies for overexposure for a long period of time. For instance people like dentists or nail technicians who come in contact with HEMA need to be careful. Also their clients, which HEMA is used which is maybe not cured, need to also be protected from this. A fully cured acrylate in which HEMA was used is totally harmless. Think about a contact lens that you put in your eye. So the big responsibility is actually in your hands and that is to make sure that all UV gels that you use, lead gels or UV gels are always fully cured to avoid any form of sensitization.


You've got so many guys kind of in and out, limited, full, but still along with. Just tried to do what was best for the football team. We got a lot of reps in, and I would say a very relaxed setting on Wednesday and continue to add to that tempo on Thursday and then today. So I just appreciated their approach, their professionalism to get a lot of reps done on Wednesday, a lot of plays to see a lot of plays on both sides of the ball, and then continue to build as the week went on. Jay Dunn, and you expect him to play? Yeah, I do. I think he's worked hard and has progressed. So I would say that based off the body of work that we saw today, excited about that. How much has maybe Marcus Johnson improved since practicing last week? Is he another guy that's getting closer? Yeah, getting closer and can't say enough about really Marcus in the position of what he did in training camp to really earn the trust of us and most importantly, the quarterback. So we'll see where he's at tomorrow, and then obviously, I have to make a decision. And I know you kind of put an emphasis on maybe receivers getting more physical this week and saw a little bit of drills. How have they responded to that? Well, you know what I mean? It's hard, right? We didn't really practice in that setting with shoulder pads. So again, we'll have to see what that looks like. And John, I hope that it translates.  And so we're going to have to do that. That's a good lesson. And unfortunately, it was a tough one to learn. But some of these guys are going to have to know that they're going to grab them. And we're going to have to be physical. Well, Marley got in a full week of work this week after missing a couple of weeks. Does the couple of weeks he missed his progress at all? And how has he been doing? He did stay on top of it. I felt like giving him things to do while he was out, as far as reports on players, or just studying and continue to not just waste the time focusing on his body, but also focusing on the mental, sometimes gymnastics of a call to call checks that we make. So I think he has done that and tried to improve. And I think that would probably be one of the most difficult things, especially for young players, is to stay engaged when physically they're not able to be out there. Is how do you stay engaged in a meeting, stay engaged when you're not watching film and you're not even out there? You're not going to show up on the tape? How do you stay engaged to learn and improve? And I think he tried to do that. Are you managing Derek a little bit different, as far as the rest and recovery, or even some of the things within the building, or just to keep him where he needs to be, despite so many carries and touches? Definitely. I don't know. I mean, we just try to do what's best for him, ultimately, and the football team. And he stays on top of it. He communicates. I make decisions with Derek and try to do what's best for him, ultimately, to try to get him ready to get back turned around each and every week. And I don't really know what that was, Tron. So to say differently, I think I have an idea. But I know what we're kind of doing now. How much do you have to be concerned with Trevor's legs and how good is he, maybe, when he does run it? Well, he has run. But again, I think he's made a lot of plays in a lot of yards outside the pocket, even on plays that aren't designed to go out of the pocket. His ability to keep his eyes down a field to numerous instances where he's kind of finding the line of scrimmage and almost going lateral to it, where he probably could enter into the defense. He stays down the line of scrimmage and keeps his eyes down the field. So that was, I guess, something unique, I think, to see from him as we were watching tape. But he's athletic. He's tall. And you saw what he did on Thursday night and his ability to run the football. He mentioned to us yesterday that his pride got in the way when it came to kind of rush you back from that ACL injury. Maybe came back a little too soon. In his practice this week, he seems to feel better. I mean, where is his progress right now in terms of 100%? Well, let's be clear. No one from the time that they start playing football will ever be 100%. So let's make sure that we say that. Bud and I have conversations. Bud spoke on his situation, working back and had him at practice this week. So we'll see where his availability is tomorrow. Did he just kind of, was he just so determined to get back that? Again, you guys had an opportunity. I'm not going to speak for Bud. I think that he touched on the things that he wanted to talk on yesterday. Got a great deal of respect for Bud. We communicate. And so I'm not going to try to speak for him and what was going through or how he handled it. How about as Elijah Molden done just as far as regaining that feel for the position, knowing the help, or all the things that are required out of that nipple spot? Good.  You hear him talking. We just got to try to continue to put him in situations where he can use his skill set and hopefully continue to help us on special teams, be instinctive, be a good tackler, just working those things in. But good, you know what I mean? And so hopefully, we've got him learning a few positions. I think that that's something that's probably unique for a young player, is learning multiple positions, whether that be a nickel corner or safety. So that's been positive because the more that you learn, more positions that you can learn, the more value you have to the team. After 2019, about slot coverage becoming more vertical, just as kind of a trend in the league, he's not the fastest corner you have, but he's got slot instincts. How does he fit into the evolution of that? I know. And again, I know you referenced 2019. I could barely remember what I said yesterday. But there's different ways to do it. You know what I mean with that? There's very good corners in this league that don't run 4-3, that stay on top, that stay square, that challenge, that know their skill set inside and out, know what their strengths are, play to their strengths, know where their help is, play leverage. And that's what all of us, and I don't say us anymore, but that's what every player has to do. Every player has to understand who he is, what his skill set is, what his strengths are, and how he can maybe mask some of his weaknesses against an opponent and knowing what the opponent's strengths are and moves are. That's a lot to continue to work on. There's just look throughout the league, and it's not about the fastest players, but the guys that look like they're playing the fastest, because they're so comfortable in what they're doing and how they play and react. Outside of it, it's always been very physical on the back, obviously. I wonder if this year you've noticed them doing any more of the lower to shoulder kind of stuff than he has in the past. I mean, maybe a little bit. I mean, again, I think that Derek, the evolution of just trying to gain your arms, understanding how guys are trying to tackle them, and, you know. But I'm not going to teach him how to play running back. I'm not going to teach him how to play running back. I mean, I could just focus on ball security and things like that. He's going to run where he sees the hole and, you know. It seemed like you've done a little bit more of that this year than in the past. Maybe. The last couple of weeks, Elijah and then maybe Racy have been really only rookies to play significant snaps on offense and defense. Is that coincidence? Is that by design to ease that group in? Is it a case by case thing? Case by case. We have no plans on however old someone is to play or not to play. If you're 35 and can help us win, we'll play. If you're 20, you can help us win. You'll play. I'm just, I think, case by case basis. And I will say that Monty Rice has showed up on special teams. You like to watch tape and go watch some of the punt returns. Didn't see it in training camp and saw it the last couple of games. I mean, taking a guy out of bounds from the line of scrimmage, taking a guy to the ground legally, hands inside. So that's positive stuff. Going down there on a kickoff, making a tackle as a backside two, coming all the way across when it looked like it could probably get out. Going down, setting the edge on a tight end. So those are positive things. And I've always tried to tell them, most of the linebackers in this league learn a confidence and an understanding about planning this league from special teams. Because it's space. It's playing with your hands. It's shedding on the punt team when they're trying to hold you up. It's getting your hands inside. It's staying square, holding guys up. It's blocking guys on kickoff return like an open field tackle.   And I think that if we look back over just the last couple weeks of how he's played, I would say that he's continuing to improve in those phases. And so hopefully that can continue. Goes down and had a joke that he never hears on the headset that Derrick is getting too many carries. But knowing how everything is powering up, is it like, do you even think about that or you just? No. Trying to win the game, you know?  Derrick's getting too many carries, I don't know. We'll use Derrick as a barometer and Derrick needs to come out, he comes out. Tony does a good job of spelling them. Got rolls for guys. Well, Julio and Kern. Yes, sorry. Finch and Roger, yes, sorry.
