This is Bill Belafraud. Ever since Bill Belafraud's firstborn child, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. left the New England Patriots, it's just not been the same. Luckily, there is hope. Myself and Bill Belafraud will be taking over the New England Patriots and restoring the team to its former glory. The draft class will be set too strong. And as always, this video does not end until I take the Patriots to a Super Bowl. Let's see what we're working with here. Offensively, there's a lot of star devs, but there's not a lot of talent at all. In fact, the highest overall player on offense is Trent Brown left tackle at 87. We have two star tight ends in Hunter Henry and Mike Gasicki. Hunter Henry is 28 years old. Mike Gasicki is 27 years old. Our wide receivers are honestly pitiful. We got Juju, Kendrick Bourne and Devonte Parker. Our running backs are kind of pitiful too. We got Zeke Elliott. I do like Ramandre Stevenson. I think Ramandre Stevenson will be an important part of this team. And then the big question is quarterback. Mack Jones is star. He's on the Virginian upgrade right now. He's 24 years old out of Bama. Is he the guy? Is this the guy? I look at him and all I can think is that is not the guy. I think this first season will determine whether or not he's the guy. If he has a really good season, I feel like it'd be a waste to draft somebody over him. But if anything, I feel like Bailey Zappy's the guy. But Bailey Zappy and Madden is 65 overall, 24. I'm 99% sure that's not his face scan. One thing I will say is the offensive line is actually solid. In most rebuilds, I feel like I'm always drafting offensive linemen. But the Patriots have secured that as well as the tight end position. So an elite wide receiver is certainly on my offensive radar and monitoring Mack Jones' status. Really, if he's going to play well or not. Next up is defense and there are some really good things to look at and obviously some holes. But Matthew Judo, they got the red sleeves on him too. Matthew Judo is amazing. He's superstar. He's 31 though. So as far as a rebuild goes, every year he's only going to get worse. But for now, he's going to kind of be the anchor on this defense. I really don't expect this team to play that poorly. I think we'll have at least the six-win season. I'm definitely going to have Ramandre Stevenson take over the backfield. I'm also going to move Mike Kasicki up in the depth chart. He is a year younger than Hunter Henry. I will say though, I really like the safeties on this team. So we've got strong safety Kyle Dugger who's actually playing at free safety right now because Jibril Peppers is at strong safety. Jibril Peppers is good.  I guess Judon is that guy, but Judon is 31 years old. So he's not going to be that guy for that long. I think one of the best things that this team can look forward to is this man right here. Christian Gonzalez, definitely the steal of the draft. He fell much further than people imagined he would. And on top of that, he was on pace for defensive rigidity until he got hurt. So that's sad, but luckily we're in Madden where I can make him un-injured. 93 speed, 93 excel. He's six foot two, great size, hidden dev. He'll pop out star. We really need some dev trade upgrades and we need to get like a monstrous threat on this team. This whole team's like 27, 28 star dev. It's a bit of a scary reveal. I'm not going to lie. We have a solid corner core too. Jonathan Jones, JC Jackson, Jack Jones, and then Christian Gonzalez. I would go straight into this season and start looking at the draft, but I'd actually rather trade for an elite wide receiver threat right now. I want to get Mac Jones a legitimate weapon. Dude, I feel so bad doing this. Juju is one of the nicest NFL players I have ever met. But I think Juju is laughing all the way to the bank. That man got three years, 36 million. He got a three year, $25 million contract with an $8 million signing bonus. I couldn't be happier for him. That man has the agent of the year.  I'm wondering what we could get for Juju Smith Schuster and my 2026 first round pick. Like DJ, DJ more is the guy I want. I don't know if the Bears would do this. It's not that far off. It really isn't. I'd love to give DJ more like a crazy team to go to too. I'm also going to offer up my third and fourth in 2026. We're getting closer. Done deal, baby. All right. So Patriots offload Juju, a first, second, third and fourth. That is a lot to give up for DJ more. We went up eight overalls on our wide receiver one, but he's also superstar and 26 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if come super full time. DJ more is a 99 overall X factor. That's what we're looking for. Mac Jones honestly sucks right now. So we need to get him a stud weapon. DJ more move to wide receiver one. And now let me go down a slot wide receiver. Make sure he's in right there too. I want him getting infinite reps. And as the season is starting, Mac Jones and Bailey Zappi have an upgrade. I guess let's go back. Let's go back. Jones deep mid short under pressure. Dude, he really might be the guy. So we gave up a lot of draft capital, but most importantly, we retain our first, second and third round pick and the upcoming draft, which I think will be the most important one for us. We got ourselves DJ more. Remondra Stevenson is starting back. Mac Jones is in W Riz. I'm rebuilding the Patriots as Bill Bella fraud. Do you have any tips or advice for us? Name five NFL players. How are you guys ready for this? Cooper Cup, Tyree Kill, Lamar Jackson. Yes. Sauce Gardner. Hands with a Uca. Uca. Uca Nakua. All right, y'all. This team is ready for an 81 overall. It certainly could be worse. Our quarterback can develop our half back. Can our wide receiver one can and defensively. We just need Christian Gonzalez to have one hell of a season. Let's send this to mid season. Dude, not a bad start to the season at all in AFC East. The bills are leading four and three were three and four. Dolphins are two and five and the Jets are winless. Yikes. DJ more looks like he's doing well. Remondra Stevenson struggling a bit. Mac Jones appears to be doing really well defensively. Judon Gonzo's unlocked his deb trade. He's at 82 overall. The end of season one were six and 11. Second half of the season was nowhere near as strong. How did we do statistically? Mac Jones was 18th in the NFL and passing yards. That's not too impressive. Kirk Cousins led the league 4839 and five. That's like an MVP season. If it's not Joe Burrow who went 43 and five. Mac Jones ends up honestly kind of middle of the pack. 25 and 13 isn't very impressive. I don't know. This isn't that good. Remondra Stevenson as in a thousand yard season with only four touchdowns though and two fumbles. So we traded for DJ more hoping that would open things up. He does get 11 touchdowns. He leads our team in receiving yards, but he doesn't even hit a thousand and we're six and 11. So we were losing a lot of games. I'm surprised we didn't have more passing yards. Hunter Henry got five touchdowns. Gisicki really wasn't involved. Defensively, Kyle Dugger had a really nice season with two TFLs, a lot of tackles. Jolani Tyvi, Christian Gonzalez. Wow, very good season. 103 tackles, two TFLs and three interceptions. That's really nice. But did we could not get to the quarterback? Josh Uchi got six sacks. Five for Christian Barmore. Two and a half for Judon. Two for Dietrich Wise, two for Godshaw, two for Lawrence Guy. When Judon is no longer on this team, we're going to have some decisions to make. I wonder if I could trade Judon for some draft picks though. Oh, good news though and bad news. It looks like Kyle Dugger walked in for agency. He had too good of a season. He doesn't want to be a patriot anymore. But that rookie, I was talking about how he might have had too many safeties. Maybe not. Marte Mapu is now my starting free safety. He's young. He's a 77 overall. I like that. But most importantly was Christian Gonzalez. He might have got defensive rookie of the year. I wonder what he got this for. Let's go to progression history. Defensive rookie of the year. No way. That's so dope defensive rookie of the year goes to Christian Gonzalez and he gets the superstar dev trade upgrade. The morale is low. I mean, the team would like to win more games, but we do have a superstar corner now and a lot of depth that corner. So we're really good at that position. And I think I got to trade Judon while he's still got an ounce of value left. He's 32 superstar with a year left on his contract. Who wants him? Somebody wants him. Judon for their first round pick is actually close. I need to sweeten it a little bit. Let's just do a pick swap. It's official. All right. So round one pick 13 for Judon, a third of fourth and a sixth. We need a good draft. We really need a good draft. Not to mention we can sign free agents. We can replace Judon right now with Josh Allen. He's expensive. This dude wants 21 million a year. I technically have the cap for that. I wouldn't hate signing Caesar Ruiz. Just get a little right guard upgrade for not not too expensive. I'm going to try for Josh Allen. I don't really want to give him that big of a deal. He's semi interested in the team. I'm going to make him a player friendly deal. Nothing more aggressive than that. And if he signs, he signs. Oh my God. So we trade Judon away for a first round pick and instantly sign Josh Allen who's younger. Even he's even a higher overall. I'm pretty sure that's huge. All right. We got two big first round picks. Let's go for it. Now I have a few ideas of what I want to do. We've got round one pick eight and round one pick 13. Let's talk about this class. Can I technically take a quarterback and replace Mac Jones? Yes, I technically can, but I don't think I'm ready to do that. I think if we just beef up this defense and win some more games, I think Mac Jones can actually lead this team. Camrose has elite strength, elite throw power, but he slows. This is a pocket passer. Looks like he's a strong arm quarterback. I mean, yeah, he looks really good, but I don't want to get all hung up on quarterbacks because I don't want to do it. Very deep quarterback class with a ton of good quarterbacks available. Look at the A's on Charles Middleton. Oh, no, do I do this? There's actually two players I was really looking at though if I'm not going to go quarterback. First one is Derek Robbins, middle linebacker out of Michigan. He's the highest linebacker in the class. He's got good in his physicals than elite strength and great jumping. Physicals are not honestly the best. He has the best broad jump bench press, the second best advert, doesn't seem too fast. A hit power, A play rec, A to C tackle. After I signed Josh Allen, I low key wanted to draft a middle linebacker and an edge rusher. And the edge rusher I'm looking at also the top edge rusher in the class is Deon Stallworth. He's kind of far down on this board, but elite Excel, great speed, elite change of direction. This guy looks better to me than the middle linebacker and he has good stats, B power moves, A awareness, AC block shed, AC finesse. For now I'm going to take the two positions I was going for and that starts with Derek Robbins, middle linebacker out of Michigan. You better not be normal that Derek Robbins.  Derek Robbins, 86 speed, 89 Excel, run stop or 64. He'll be perfect in our defense. Deon Stallworth at right end speed rusher, Josh Allen at left end and then Derek Robbins in the middle with Jelani Tyvi and who's our other linebacker? You get what I'm saying though. He looks good. If Derek Robbins was hidden Deb, then Deon Stallworth is definitely hidden Deb. Crazy physicals. His skills are good. Annie's a speed rusher. If one of those two is at least a superstar, this is going to be a spectacular draft. Stallworth's got 84 speed and 90 Excel. Okay, Stallworth, two huge defensive pickups. Bro, I'm telling you though, if at the start of the second round there's still a quarterback, I'm going to take them. Oh my God, there's still three quarterbacks all around one guys. We have good scouting. Both Ricky Love and Warren Bradley look like they've got crazy good stats. Let's take a look at their physicals. I'm 23 year old out of Alabama. Imagine Mac Jones getting replaced by another Bama guy. Elite strength. Elite change direction, elite Excel. Good throw power, decent speed. Brick sack is nice, deep accuracy, medium short. Throw on the run under pressure.  Warren Bradley's got real good stats. But what about Ricky Love? Why do you keep falling? Great strength, good throw power, elite acceleration. He's a scrambler. They both look really good. I'm going to take a quarterback just in case one of these guys ends up being like superstar or really high overall. There's no reason not to take this with our second round pick here. And I think I like Warren Bradley a little bit better than Ricky Love. Oh my God, he's out of Bama too. He's a right handed quarterback out of Bama. He was probably a freshman when Mac Jones was there. Mac Jones is pissed. I'm sorry, Mac. His speed's okay, but 90 Excel, 90 change direction, 85 agility, 91 throw power. I just got to hope he's superstar now. And then we did trade away our third and fourth rounders. Looks like we went all hidden nebs. All hidden nebs on those first three picks and signing Josh Allen in free agency. This could end up being super, super, super good. I just got to hope these guys are decent overalls. Come on.  Hell of a first round. Derek Robbins is a 77. That's one of the highest I've seen a middle linebacker come out. I mean, he was, he was a high pick, but okay. So I was really geeked up about Warren Bradley. He's a 71 overall. So he'd have to be superstar for me to start him. He's got a lot of throw power and decent accuracies. As of right now, Mac Jones is better. So maybe I do keep Mac Jones and computer got us a left outside line to two outside linebackers. Also got a Steven Dray in a half back out of Charleston Southern. He's normal Dev as well. So it's just all worth and Robbins. All right, let's take a look at the entire draft. Ooh, look at these first four picks. 81, 81, 81, 82. Nick Love was a 78 with what the fuck? Oh my God. This is the fastest quarterback I've ever seen. Yo, the Rams got Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson's child. 98 speed 96 Excel.  I thought I was reading that wrong. Highest player in the class was Ben Lewis. Then it was Alex Feliz. Oh my God.  They took that insanely fast quarterback and they got an 82 left guard in the second round. Ramsey was a wide receiver and at the end of the first was an 81 free safety. Nice work. Okay. I have some like scheme adjustments to make before this next season, but I think we're in a really good spot here. Okay. So I'm going to do a few things in year two here. I'm going to change my offensive playbook to Dallas Cowboys. Much more favorable for our quarterback. Honestly impressive that Mac had a decent season on Patriots offense. Then my defensive scheme we're running a 3-4 right now. I want to switch this to a 4-3 and hopefully one that doesn't totally ruin my scheme fit. 4-6. Just run a base 4-3. Offensively, virtually nothing has changed other than Caesar Ruiz now in all star offensive lines, but defensively a lot has changed. Maining the middle is now Derek Robbins. A lot has changed on defense. Let's talk about this. So we're in a 4-3 now. 4 down linemen and 3 linebackers. I've got Joann Bentley at left outside linebacker, Jelani Tyvi at right outside linebacker, and our new rookie Derek Robbins manning the middle. Coming off the right side is Josh Allen, who's now a right end. Coming off the left side is our new rookie Deon Stullward. And now the middle we've got Keon White and Godshaw. That does leave one problem though, which is Christian Barmore. Christian Barmore solid player, the young player doesn't have a home on this team right now. I would like to go see if there's any value we could get from Barmore in a trade before this season starts. He's young. He's a solid overall star dev. Maybe we could get a pick for him. Christian Barmore in a fifth for the Bears second round pick.  And that's another great pick. And now that was like the best value we're going to get out of that. So that's amazing. The lineup is set. The lineup is ready to go. Take me to the regular season. I think this is going to be a really good year. Yo! Galaxy Brain GM moves in the off season. I mean, we're 10 and 7. We tie with the Bills at the top of the AFC East. Looks like we just squeaked it out past them actually. And that takes us to the wild card with an 87 overall against the Jaguars. Whoa. Although I will say just switching to Dallas Cowboys Playbook is a huge improvement. I don't think that alone would have taken us to the playoffs, but it's kind of a combination of everything. It looks like DJ Morris having a hell of a season. He's up to a 94 boosted. Mac Jones is an 81 raw, 85 boosted. Stevenson's pissed off somehow, bro. We're in the playoffs. How do you have low morale? Hunter Henry looks like he had a solid season as well. And the offensive line looks incredible defensively. Josh Allen is moving up. Christian Gonzalez is a 91 already. Oh my God. Robin's honestly the guy I thought would be superstar because we took him round one pick eight, but our round one pick 13 guy that or he won defensive rigged here. He's actually superstar. Oh, that's huge. Mapu looks like he's doing good. He's an 80. Jabril's up to a 90 JC Jackson. It's like the D line did solid in the new scheme. At least appears to be working well right now. That's really exciting. Let's see how we did on this season before we go into the wildcard. Cowboys offense. That shit's OP. Like this is nice. I'm really excited that Mac Jones had a better season. All I did was switch the playbook. I mean, our offensive line was a little better. Mac Jones 33 and 17. Looks like burrow at a 36 and eight season. And I just realized I didn't even check who won the Super Bowl last season. I got to go check that in a second here. Let's look at the full Patriots roster. So Mac Jones, a big improvement. Stevenson, another 1,000, but 13 touchdowns this time. Nice. And I have to imagine DJ Moore is well over 1,000 receiving yards. Oh, that's going to be a dev trait. That's going to take him to superstar X factor. Almost 100 perceptions, 1,500 yards. 16 touchdowns, getting 88 a game. Seven for DeMario Douglas. How to labor to you?  Cooper cup 1582, then CD lamb, then DJ Moore. Nice. Jalen Hertz going to win MVP. Offensive player of the year, DJ Moore. Josh Allen is seventh and defensive player of the year voting. Offensive rookie of the year is Ricky Love. Beyond Stallworth is up there, but not quite. That DeAndre Freydude was an absolute tank. Defensively, Derek Robbins, 135 tackles and 90 of house and a sack. That's a huge season.  We made the right call. I should have done this with Jude on anyway, but Josh Allen's younger and just got 14 and a half sacks on the season. Stallworth had nine. Tyvi still had five. Four and a half for Godchild. Four for Keon White. All right, y'all 10 and seven. We're going to take on the Jaguars. Let's take a look at their roster. I imagine they haven't moved too much. Travis Etienne is at 98. Lawrence is up there. Christian Kirk, Tyson Campbell, Evan Engerham, Foyacita, Lua Khan, the GOAT, Trayvon Walker. They also got a superstar tight end. Jamarcus Hopkins. Jaguars drafted so well last season. All right, y'all. I mean, they're 13 and four. I don't expect to dub here, but we do have the overall advantage. Let's see what we can do. Dion Stullworth has made our top three. Our top three are DJ Moore, Christian Gonzalez, Dion Stullworth. I usually don't like to play at all, but I do want to play a couple snaps with this lineup. I've seen some requests for it, so I don't want to put us in like a scoring position. I just want to see the roster. So there's Hunter Henry. We got DJ Moore. There's not too many huge differences to this lineup, especially not offensively, but there's DJ Moore in the middle. He's excited to be on the Patriots in the playoffs. Let's give him one more throw. DJ Moore, deep post.  All right, I've got us too far already. I got to let the sim take over. I don't want to win this game off the back of myself. It's got to be a sim. We do score on that drive with a little boost. We get another field goal. Jaguars respond. We respond again. Jaguars get a field goal. We get an, oh my God, are we going to win this? We got to win by 14, or it's fraudulent though. Oh my God, no scoring in the third. Another field goal. Well, I did help us with that opening touchdown, but we still won by 10. All right, I helped us with those opening yards, but wow, really good showing in the wildcard. Only in year two, I did not expect this. Mac Jones had an amazing game. 28-33, two touchdowns in an interception. ETN was nice. Ramandri Stevenson was not good. 2.5 yards per carry is not great. Hunter Henry's 10 for 99. Devanze Parker 7 for 89, bro. DJ Moore's only catches were like the ones I gave him. He had one more catch though, and that was a touchdown. We must have done something defensively, right? Devan Lloyd has the only interception. Josh Allen had one and a half sacks. Bentley had one, Stulworth had one. We were just, Derek Robbins had half a sack. We were just getting home on Trevor Lawrence. Shit, that's a dub, let's go. The rookie Marte Mapu is going to get an upgrade right here. Awareness blockchain, play rec, press, and zone coverage. Not bad. Dude, if we won the Super Bowl this year, this would not feel right. That is not how a rebuild is supposed to go. Oh, we're playing the Chiefs.  It's not even funny. I'm 100% losing this game here. Somehow we're in Gillette Stadium though. How is this divisional played in Gillette Stadium? I think I'm a casual, but I don't get it. We are 10 and seven, the Chiefs are 12 and five. We've got home field advantage in the divisional. Opening drive, Patriots get three and seven more. Oh my, there's no way. Seven more. Chiefs respond, Patriots get a field goal. Chiefs a field goal.  Mac Jones delivers to DJ Moore. Down by four, across the 50 in the divisional.  Field goal does us no good. Three down linemen. Mac Jones got lots of time. Laser beam. He's 30 for 44, 333 yards. He has no passing touchdowns. First in 10, we have all three timeouts. It looks like a handoff to Ramandre Stevenson. Do it.  Wait, is Hunter Henry Superstar? Why does Hunter Henry have the star under him? Touchdown! Is that DJ Moore? Oh, it's Devonte Parker. Touchdown Devonte Parker. Gosh Allen, beyond stalwart. Who got home? I don't, dude, I'm getting lost in the sauce right now. Get home. Get home. Huge tackle, third to 13. Final timeout is used with five seconds left.  Hail Mary for the game, get home. We got a pass rusher on him. That's not to the end zone. That's ball game. We just beat the Chiefs in the divisional. What? This is actually just dumb luck right now. Mac Jones, 31 for 45 and a touchdown. My home's had two. We must have done something on the ground. Yeah, a fumble from dude, Stevenson has been struggling. How did we win this game? Dante Parker at 130 in a touchdown. DJ Moore, six for 71. We're literally just so unbelievably good at getting to the quarterback. Like low key, this is putting me on to the Patriots defensive scheme, which is funny because when you use Patriots, they're in a three-four, but you switch them to a four-three. Holy shit, I've never used this defensive playbook before, I was not ready for this. Dude, we like maximize what we could get out of our players. We're going to the AMC chip in here too. Tell me why this is the best reveal that I've ever done. We take it on the 13 and four Raiders? What? Let's go look at this Raiders lineup. 99 Josh Jacobs, 99 Max Crosby. They picked up a Sean Gary. So it's two X factor edge rushers. Still got Duvante Adams. That's how I was gonna say you did all this with Jimmy Garoppolo. No, it's Ricky Love. Wasn't this the quarterback who was sitting there and I took the other guy instead?  He's fast. He's scrambler and he came out superstar. This low key might have been my whiff of the draft right here.   We're so good.  I don't even think I've ever witnessed a SIM team drop this many points. Oh, I thought I thought they're about to score there. Bill Belafraud. What is going on? I mean, it's Josh McDaniels. We knew he was going to choke it, right? 38-28 in the AMC championship. There's no way. Ricky Love actually had a had a good game, but two interceptions holds him back. Mac Jones, 23 for 28. Three touchdowns. Ramondre finally had a really good game. Josh Jacobs was nuts. 10 for 113 in a touchdown. But like, who wants to help me figure out what's going on here? 7 for 90 in a touchdown. Is this really showing this game here? It really wasn't our defense. They put up 28, but we just put up 38. If we walk this to the Super Bowl, bro, I don't even know what to say. Big Mac Jones is getting an upgrade. I'm glad we stuck with them, man. Yeah, we could have taken. We could have taken Ricky Love. 99 short accuracy, a true Patriots quarterback. This is a Cinderella story, dude. To be honest, I was shocked when we even made the playoffs, but this defense is something else. Taken on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. But say, if we got upgrades, it'd be this week. I think Gonzo might be a superstar X-Factor. Gonzo's already in 92 overall. He got a plus one speed boost there. And he is superstar X-Factor.  He's insane. 95 speed, 94 Excel superstar X-Factor. Derek Robbins got an upgrade. I think that means offensive rookie to you. Before we go into this Super Bowl, let's look at our roster. We might have gotten some DevTrade upgrades. DJ Moore, what did I say, bro? I wanted a 99 overall X-Factor DJ Moore. He's X-Factor. He's the only guy though. Mac Jones doesn't get anything. Ramon Dre still star. Offensive line is obviously all star. And then Hunter Henry didn't get anything either. I'm kind of shocked that Hunter Henry hasn't gotten a DevTrade upgrade. Marte Mapu continues to prove me wrong. He gets superstar. Guy doesn't even have face scan. He's a superstar. Robbins is an 82 down the center. And Stalworth came out superstar from the draft. So our defense looking a lot better. The defense has no business being this good though. I guess on paper it's a nice defense. But even then it's like, I'm not going to ask questions, bro. Why would I ask why we're doing so well? I just want to continue doing so well. This will be the quickest rebuild. The quickest I've ever won the Super Bowl if we win the Super Bowl right here. Taking out a 92 overall San Fran 49ers though. So that's, it's a little scary. Opening drive.  Oh, okay. But we stopped them. 7-0, 7-3, 10-3, 10-6, 7-3 to 6.  This is just insane. There's no way.  Is it really Patriots defense? Remandre Stevenson walking home 12 yards. Full momentum on the Patriots side. It's funny because if you run Patriots playbook but you're in a 3-4 with the Patriots, they don't do that well. But in the 4-3, and we're holding San Fran a 6 in the bowl right now. A Matthew Judon trade and DJ Moore.  He's still up. This is a crucial conversion. Uh-oh, Nick Bosa. We're about to nuke a big, big field goal though. Chris Rylan, I think. Is that the Patriots kicker? 57? Whiffs it. This is why you sign a kicker in free agency. It's actually really important and I didn't do it this year. 3 minutes, 25 seconds left. Three timeouts. Glock, Purdy. They need the touchdown though. Who's going to get home? Good defense. Derek Robbins. That's the boy in the middle. I love Derek Robbins. It's weird though. In whatever formation we're in there, they've got Dion Stalworth at almost a detackle. Yeah, look at Dion Stalworth in the middle. He should not be there. We're supposed to be at a 4-3. Got Jelani Tyvi coming off the edge. What are we doing? By the way, before you tell me in my specialist, it's not, I have everything set up perfectly. Why are we, what defense are we in? Why is Jelani Tyvi rushing? I guess it makes sense. We're supposed to be in a past stopping defense right now. Purdy sends it deep, but I don't like it, dude.  Here we go. We're back in a 4-3. Josh Allen and Stalworth off the edges. There goes Josh Allen and Stalworth. Brock Purdy's only completed nine passes. Trent Williams is over there with Stalworth. They'll definitely lock in that up. I think a lot of our pass rush probably gonna come from Josh Allen. Ooh, right up the middle. It's fourth and 10. Do you take your field goal and make this an eight-point game? If you're Kyle Shanahan, you do. I mean, I would do. You have to get two possessions anyway. So they, I guess they have the, they have the two minute warning and three timeouts. So they are gonna like to do a regular kick here. First and 10, play action. What, and we just got a whole thing. Why are we running play action when we need to be chewing the clock? Just give him the ball. What are we doing? He's gonna go out of bounds. You're gonna run. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Third and 14. There's another timeout. Probably just run the ball again. Eat another timeout. Punt this puppy away. Ramon Dre! Oh, Ramon Dre, Stevenson. Oh, it's just ice the game. That's okay though. Put us in a night position. Very solid punt and great coverage if you can tackle McCaffrey. Oh my God, another slip screen. This one does go through, but he's down and bounds.  A sack would be so big. Throws over the middle for like negligible yards and that clock is ticking. Check down to the running back. He's gonna take about eight yards. We're back in nickel, which puts Tyvi. That's so dumb. Tyvi's not get- Oh my God, Jolani Tyvi just beat Trent Williams. Second and two. There's the timeout. Second and two from the 33. No timeouts left for the Niners. Laser, caught, tackled. They got one more in them. We're in 4-3. We're in 4-3. 3rd and 10. Stallworth, Allen. One more rush. Get home. Oh God, Jolani. Ends the Super Bowl. Oh no, I wanted to see the animation. No. Hey, we just went the fucking... Hands down the fastest Super Bowl I've ever won. I think the earliest I've done it before this was year four. I didn't even... Don't think I've ever even done it in year three. This is year two. Ramondray had a really solid Super Bowl with a touchdown. McJones was 2-52. 20 for 27 and a touchdown. DJ Moore, 8 for 116 and a touchdown. And it was... Dude, it was defense. We held the Niners to nine points in the bowl. Two sacks for... For Gotcha. One for Deon Stallworth. Nothing from Josh Down. Josh Down put so much pressure on him. Oh my God, we won this Super Bowl. I don't want to leave you guys empty-handed because I think it would be so weird to end a rebuild in year two. That is not a rebuild. So I'm going to give you one more year at least. Seven times Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. McJones is Super Bowl MVP. We didn't win a single other award. That's crazy. We only won Super Bowl MVP because we didn't... I mean, we were 10 and 7. This is a full-blown Cinderella story. We really should not have gone. 46 mil available in cap.  Signing next job would honestly be nasty. Greg Newsom's available. No, my corners are nice, bro. My corners are nice. Let's get Evan McPherson. Let's start here. We missed a kick in the playoffs. I'm going to sign McPherson to a four-year. Kara Moa wants to be a patriot. I'm going to give him a player friendly. He already kind of wants to sign with us. Don't really need to do player friendly, but... We just won the Super Bowl. We should be able to sign Nick Chubb. His interest level is not that high. So we're going to have to bump his salary. Luckily he's running back. So this contract isn't unbelievable. This should leave us with 10 million cap. Nick Chubb signs. Kara Moa is still thinking about it. McPherson signs. Let's eval again. Kara Moa signs.  All right, New Look Patriots after winning the Super Bowl. DJ Moore, Devante Barco, DiMario Douglas. Definitely got to pick ourselves up a wide receiver in the draft. Backfield's gorgeous. I wouldn't hate getting a true fullback. And then defensively, yes, we could draft a detackle if there's a good generational guy. Josh Allen's a 92. We may end up drafting O-Line. David Andrews is 33. So yeah, if there's a good center or right guard who could be moved to center, I guess we go there. Let's draft, baby. Hey, this is the true struggle of success though. Our first biggest round will pick 32. I'm about to take one of these corners. I'm about to take a corner just because they look so good. It's Terrell Hancock for Dominique Daniels. Dominique Daniels is 63. Some goods. That's a big corner. Dude, if I had two big rookie Hidden Dev corners, Dominique Daniels, the 63 corner out of Louisville. Hidden Dev 91 speed, 94 Excel. I do have two good corners, but they're not like superstar elites. They're just, they're just good.  My next pick is round two pick 13. I don't think my guys, I don't think my guy's going to be gone. I think all the same wide receivers are going to be in here right now. Yeah, JP Vic Bassey, Jermaine Rivers. They're all still in here. I'm going to go Florida's 6-1 deep threat. Super speed. Dude, this guy and DJ Moore. We just won a Super Bowl, baby. We just had a 96 speed, 97 Excel, 6-1 deep threat from Florida.  Let's get it. All right. I'm going to head to the end of the draft. See if the CPU can pick me up some good stuff. I did trade away a good amount of these picks. I think we made a really, really good call. And we actually have trade offers for Ramandre Stevenson. Look at the offers for Ramandre Stevenson. A superstar right guard, 83 overall. For Ramandre Stevenson, who I'm not using. Puka Nakua at a second round. A star corner. Why is it always the Bears? The Bears love trading with us.  Let's see it, baby. Let's see it, baby. Let's see it, baby. Two 76s. 76 corner. 76 wide receivers, Jermaine Rivers. Computer got me Travis Schaefer, right tackle. Ricky Wyndham and Ashton Barker. Schaefer's probably hidden dev, hidden dev red tackle. I think DJ Moore should definitely still be the number one guy. But let's get Jermaine Rivers in as the second option. And then DiMario Douglas can be the third option and we're kind of phasing Davante Parker out of rotation. He's just too old. We'll use him if we need to, but to make sure Jermaine Rivers is getting his reps too. Dude, we're on full-blown dynasty mode. Mid-season to year three, we're five and one. A bunch of players unlock new abilities, which means people are upgrading like crazy. Let's take a look at this line. So the Bears willingly traded me. There are Superstar right guard and three picks for Remandre Stevenson. So now our offensive line is even better. I really could move Cesar Reeves over to where Cole Strange is if I wanted to. Rivers is star dev. So we just learned that Jermaine Rivers is star dev. Then looking at defense, Mapu, Superstar, Karamoa, Derek Robbins, Bentley, Peppers, Jackson, Stallworth, Keon White, Godshaw, Josh Allen, and Dominic Daniels is also star dev. We also have trade offers for Jack Jones. Give me that 2026 fifth round. Jack Jones is now a fifth round pick. I got to give Madden credit. Madden is very well aware when I have too much depth at a position. Oh my God, we were five and one, and we finished a season five and six. Yikes. Actually a weak finish to the season, although I will say the 10 and seven record is how we won the Super Bowl last time. But I did expect a better record in year three here. Looks like Mac Jones led the league. Oh, he led the league in passing yards. Are you MVP status?  I think Joe Burrow 38 and two might be better. 41 and eight Mac Jones. Oh my God, he better get a dev trade upgrade. As far as rushing yards go, Nick Chubb is third in the league.  We have the number one passer and the third rusher. 17 touchdowns, 1600 yards. Definitely a good signing right there. We have the number one wide receiver in DJ Moore, who's not even my slot wide receiver. And then Jermaine Rivers had 1165 and 10 touchdowns. Oh my God. What is going on? Mac Jones is fourth in MVP voting. It's because of those interceptions. Offensive player of the year ASC is Pacheco. Defensive player of the year is Max Crosby. Offensive rookie of the year, Jermaine Rivers. Slot wide receiver, let's go baby. Defensive rookie of the year, not us. Although Dominic Daniels is sixth. All right, let me see the Steelers roster and see if we can go win ourselves another Super Bowl. 99 TJ, 99 Minka. Lots of defense, 98 Najee, 97 George Pickens. High Smith, Fryermuth. Phillips Stoker center is a superstar. I'm not really worried about that. Bobby Gentry, middle linebacker, Kevin Grant, half back. Jeff Osgood, X factor outside linebacker. 91 overall Patriots taken on the 89 Steelers. Home field advantage in the wild card. Once again, how am I home field? We're 10 and seven. Low scoring game, three to 10, three to 17. Oh, geez. And then all of a sudden Vegas stepped in. That overhead hit baby, 24 to 10. Whoa, another curb stomp. I'm almost not happy. I kind of like in my head, I'm like I need to really rebuild this team. The Patriots favoritism is insane. How are we this good? 15 for 25 and a touchdown pick. It was 24 for 33 and an interception. So how did we beat him so bad? Nick Chubb had a touchdown, three broken tackles. He was a very big pickup for us. We must have done something on defense. 13 tackles for Robbins.  Josh Allen, force act. Two for Karamoa, two for Deon Stullworth. One for Deontay Walker. Still though, oh my God. And then who got the interception? Marta Mapu. It's a blizzard against the Bengals. We're also home once again because I don't understand NFL playoffs. Bengals got 2.99s in Jamar and Burrow. Higgins, Hendrickson, Darien Sims, tight end X factor auto generated after him. And are any of these guys auto generated? Tom Bain, the punter and Mike Mullins left guard. Louis Freeman, halfback. The dynasty scores a touchdown on the opener and then scores another touchdown. I'm not even shocked anymore. Bengals score, Bengals score again. We score. Wait a minute. Do we have an actual fucking? We have an actual game. Oh my God. And the Bengals have the ball. We've never been in this scenario before. We don't know what it's like to lose. Go. Shiced Meister drops back to mix in on a slip screen. They go for, oh my God. They might go for this. I go for this in the playoffs. Three minutes left.  You're going to lose now. Patriots score instantly and Bengals. What did they just do? Did they kick a field? Oh, that was the third quarter. Oh, I thought that was the fourth quarter. I was like, why'd they kick a field goal? We put up another touchdown. It's over. Patriots literally can't be stopped. 35, 24 in the divisional. Mack Jones, 26 for 32, three touchdowns. Nick Chubb, almost 100 rushing yards. Six broken tackles. Jermaine Rivers, 126. DJ Moore, 125. Two touchdowns for the Rook. One for DJ Moore. And I can't wait to see this stat line. Two for Keon White. One for Karamoa. One for Josh Town. We're getting like four sacks a game every game. And we're not getting sacked. AFC championship little rematch against the Chiefs. They are a 93 overall. Race She Rise is now X factor. But we have three X factors now too. Gonzo, DJ Moore, Nick Chubb. Chiefs start with a touchdown. We respond with a field goal. They, oh my God, wait, no, no, this doesn't happen. Oh my God. Chiefs are going to get the redemption, aren't they? 14 to 17. Oh my God, we've got a shot. 14 to 20. Mack Jones sitting in the pocket, clean, great throw. Do I think that's Jermaine Rivers? 20 to 14. Mack Jones laser over the middle. You're lying. You're actually lying. You're not lying. It's fine. Jermaine Rivers. Jermaine Rivers offensive rick of the year. It's open once again. Oh my God.  The Chiefs do have all their timeouts though. My home's drops back. Laser out to the half back. That's Pacheco out of bounds. Sops o'clock. What do we got here? My homes right over the middle. Nice. Oh, no, I'm sitting here thinking they need a touchdown. No, they do not.  They iced it already. No, they got their redemption. Dynasty busters. AFC championship.  My home's actually has 0.01 QBR better than my home. So nobody can take that away from me. 0.1 QBR better. 226 yards in a touchdown, but my home's is just a gunslinger. 343 and 2. No interceptions. Nick Chubb was great on the ground. We just like, we couldn't keep up. 7 for 83. Douglas 6 for 81. Rivers 6 for 39. A touchdown. I think I know what happened. I don't think we got the sacks. We're going to lose every time if we don't get QB sacks. Damn, man. Stallworth and Josh Allen. I needed you boys. End of year three. The lineup got some insane dev trade upgrades. Mack Jones is now superstar. Jermaine Rivers got Superstar Fraff and Suruki the year. Hunter Henry gets his dev trade upgraded and defensively. Stallworth goes X Factor and Marty Mapu. How? How is Marty Mapu going this hard?  And then there's that bears right guard that we got. All right, y'all. Bill Belafraud brings glory to the Patriots low key. This would be like a dynasty. This team is good for a long time. I think eventually here you lose Nick Chubb. He regresses, right? DJ Moore is still going to be good for a long time. Jermaine Rivers will be good for a long time. DeMario Douglas is still normal dev, but he's solid. This offensive line is not going anywhere either. Some of these guys getting older. David Andrews be out of there soon. But snow strange on when it will be there for a long time. But then defensively, bro. 99 Gonzo. 89 Stollworth, Josh Allen, Keon White, Derek Robbins, Awusu Carp, dude. I'm so happy about this. He was one of the best ones yet. All right, boys, hope you enjoyed the Patriots rebuild. Try to make this one a little shorter, 35, 40 minutes. Still a long time, but there's a lot in a rebuild. So I hope you enjoyed the pace of this one. Let me know what you want to see next. And I love y'all. Thanks for watching as always. See you next time. Peace.


We're having Trisha and Anxiao to the stage as well. And we have space for some questions from the audience. We have our mic runner here. So it works the way that you know by now. So wave your hand. And we have one first here. And you're going to do it by example. Say it in your name and where you're from and your question. Hi, I'm Fabian Hemad. My question is, so will they live happily ever after? They don't have to, because the important part is that they live happily right now. And what more questions do we have? That one answer just solves everything. OK, it solves everything. But while, because one thing that you stated was Anxiao, that this is a way of building courage, maybe you can build into your courage of asking question. But I saw the link between building courage, building your identity, as you talked about Anxiao. And this is also taking power to the people, picking up the use. So what does this development, if you could all comment on the link, say about the future of society or people? Who wants to feel that first? Because I mean, this is something we talk about, right? Quite a bit, so. Yeah, I can take that first. I think we live in this, at least in 21st century, we live in a media-saturated environment, especially 20th century South that rise at broadcast and all kinds of media telling a story from a very centralized point of view. But what I'm finding in so much of my research of how people are manipulating and changing media is that the way we play with media for fun can also be a way to play with media that retells a story for ourselves, tells our own story, creates a new narrative. And it's an individual story. It's not like we're able to broadcast this to everybody, but I think there's something really unique and compelling about being able to reframe a narrative and create the story that you want to see in the world and use that as a vision for a possible future. Well, and also you're seeing that what I think speaks to the power of a lot of this emotional expression is that it's people who may not necessarily speak the same language. It's like users in China are also taking images from mean girls and they've never been to America, but they'll be able to use that moment of emotional expression that's captured. And their culture may not have taught them how to emotionally express their sadness, but they're able to start doing that through these kind of gifts. So it's a very global kind of culture. And we talk about pop culture always as a negative thing, but the way I see it is in many places, pop culture is this vehicle for emotional expression. So do we understand it for, I've been working with performative art or contemporary art and then you can, if it's not verbal, you can actually tour the world with it because you usually address issues that are universally human. And is it the same here? Will I understand it where I come to, wherever I come to? Yeah, you know, it's funny that the sleep, I've studied the meme sort of space for quite a bit and two things I saw that were really interesting were that was first that you had things like image macros that were sort of spreading beyond the languages that were sort of displayed on the image. And that's because it's that visual portion, right? It's the expression of someone's face, it's a reaction phase, whatever it is, that people latch onto and they understand that because that's what's important is understanding the emotion more than the exact thing that you're upset about or happy about what have you. But the other thing that's happened is because of the rise of gifts, but that actually I should say, spread in Western countries and Spanish speaking countries and Japan and Korea, but I didn't see a lot of penetration into China or into Africa, right? And for various reasons, most of which Anshale has already written about and you should definitely go check her stuff out. But the other thing that happens is that there's enough acknowledgement of what that is and what that means that those spaces have created their own memes and their own formats that make sense for them. And I'm wondering if a lot of that stuff is gonna sort of come back over to the West and it has in some points, what was the one we were talking about the other day?  But, and it really, you know, confronted the whole stereotype of like youth in China being like really emotionally restrictive and they didn't have multiple identities. And then you see it being replicated in the U.S. and what was that? In the West in general, right? In the West. Mostly in U.S. and Europe. And actually, no, actually also Spanish speaking countries, which is the what blank things I'm like, what the, what, you know, what my parents think I do, what I actually do, what, you know, that sort of thing, which actually started off from a Chinese, had a Chinese precedent, which was awesome. Yeah, and that's a lot of the stuff that Anshia was documenting is like looking at the spread of memes and so much of this has been going eastward or, you know, west from outward, but I think we're gonna see it originating here. We'll see, yeah, we'll see the other direction. Another one from Africa that I was looking at was a tweet like a foreign journalist coming out of, from Kenya and they're poking, poking at a journalist's perceptions of the elections in Kenya and another meme that was, sub-meme of that was someone tell CNN because it was specifically about CNN's depiction of the elections and then I've seen, then the Turkey, the Penguin memes from CNN Turkey, you had, they're all kinds of like CNN memes that have been popping up that I've seen since then and so you see much more, a lot of dialogue going in other directions and not just coming from the west. And before, oh, there's one, yeah, you can ask a question. Hey guys. Hey Kate. Hi. So Ancho, I love how you said that memes give voice to the voiceless. Have you seen any, seen any examples where the voiced have been trying to use this, use this for their own political ends? So like the hegemony and power holders using these techniques to try and maintain their grasp? Absolutely. And I think, you know, the same memes that can be used to poke fun at a dictator, as we saw yesterday can also be used to poke fun at marginalized individuals. The same, this is culture artifacts, these practices have, you know, can be used in many ways and what I'm trying to do with showing this is to complexify the debate is that when we look at memes, some people call them silly, some people call them awesome and fun, some people call them dangerous and harassing and those are all valid perspectives. But I've also seen a lot of evidence of how this can bring amazing voice and power to people who've not had a voice before. And so, so absolutely, there is that, there is an opportunity to use these memes to reinforce structural power dynamics, cultural, structural cultural dynamics, things like that. But at the same point, they give voice to so many contexts that it's difficult to deny that they have extreme power for those who are the most powerless. Thank you. And we actually have that, I must have that as the last question. And before we, thank you, I think with the connection to the discussion we had yesterday about online harassment, where the power which you connected to, the power behind all these actions and expressions are us as human beings. So that's where we always get back to what we do with our freedom of responsibility and expression. And thank you very much for taking all of us into what it actually means.  Thank you guys. See you.


the mortgage interest in which case you're buying a home and the home is typically personal but possibly deductible possibly because in part you've got big lobbyists in the in the home building and selling in real estate area that want to subsidize the market I would think it might be one reason uh if they're but anyway that's somewhat skeptical of a or investment activities now investments kind of in the middle because if you think about investment activities you you basically think of a situation where you might take out a loan in order to buy say stocks and bonds because you think the stocks and bonds are going to go up in value for example so if you think like apple stock is going to go up in value I need to buy apple stock because it's going to double in value tomorrow but I don't have any money well what I can do is leverage it right I could take out a loan and then purchase the stocks and then we'll see what happens right if it goes up in value I still have to pay off the loan payments but as long as the increase in value is greater than the amount of the interest that I have to pay then I'm a winner in that game and that works great as long as you're winning but but if the stock goes down in value you can also get in the hole real quickly so there there's a real question in terms of just should we have it deductible or not in terms of basically investment and and like speculative purposes because the question there is do we want to be incentivizing people to taking on risks that seem more closer akin to like gambling rather than legitimate long-term business risk which would be more like the situation where you buy equipment and you're planning on building a business which is a long-term thing rather than a short-term investment gain that you might be trying to take out a loan because you heard some you know it's got some inside news on a stock trade or something like that

Thorebreds are bred for competitive racing and undergo intensive training regimens. Their physical soundness and desirable behavioral characteristics must be maintained to ensure their longevity in the sport. Yearlings begin training as they enter the racing industry and go through introductory training before being put into exercise conditioning for racing. This period requires them to quickly adapt to a new environment. Prey animals like thorebreds have a strong fight or flight response, which is highly adapted to respond to stressful situations. When exposed to stress, these animals release cortisol, which can be detected in their saliva. Researchers have found that there is a significant difference in salivary cortisol levels between thorebreds who have just experienced their first time riding with a jockey and those who haven't. To test the hypothesis that salivary cortisol levels can be used to objectively detect individual variations in the acute physiological stress response, researchers investigated individual variations in cortisol response to training milestones. Saliva samples were taken from a group of 96 thorebred yearlings at the same training yard across three time points before entering the training. This article was authored by Amy R. Hopi, Beatrice McGivney, John A. Brown and others. We are article.tv, links in the description below.


Today, I'm going to be taking a look at a Linux distribution that I've never taken a look at before. This distribution is called CacheOS. CacheOS is rather new. It is based on Arch Linux. If I switch over to their website here, cacheos.org, you can see the blurb at the top of the screen. Blazingly fast and customizable Linux distribution. If you read their website here, the front page on the web page, they really talk about how customizable this distribution is. It offers a wide variety of desktop environments and window managers to choose from. And they really talk about the speed and the optimization of this particular Linux distribution. If I scroll down, you can see Discover the Benefits of CacheOS. And one of the things they talk about here is CacheOS features the optimized Linux CacheOS kernel utilizing the Advanced Boar Scheduler, that's B-O-R-E, for unparalleled performance. So, you know, they've done some work, I guess, on the kernel. There's some kernel options available for us. If we want to play with that stuff, they also talk about their web browser here.  Now, that is a fork of Firefox. So essentially, you know, it's a rebranded Firefox. A lot of distributions do this because Firefox, of course, being free and open source self or anybody can fork it and, you know, make it their own, right? All you got to do is rename it and you can do something new with Firefox as a base. Another thing they talk about is the installation process. Apparently they offer two installers to fit your needs, right? They have a user-friendly GUI version based on the Calamari's installer, which is what I'm going to use today, and they also have a command line installer and that is really nice for the more power users.  Maybe you want to have an installation script and you can't really use scripting with a graphical installer like Calamari's, but you can do that if the command line installer is available for you. So I'm going to go ahead and download one of their versions. Here, if I go to the download page, KDE Plasma is the first one that comes up. So I'm assuming that's going to be their flagship edition. So that's the one I'm going to download, but you can see you have GNOME, XFCE, and just those three here on the download page. But apparently during the installation process, if I wanted to, I could install Qtfish, which I think is a dead project. I don't know much about Qtfish. I never tried it. People asked me to try Qtfish several months back, but by the time I got interested and maybe I'd take a look at it, it essentially I think is now dead. So I'm glad I didn't take a look at it because it wasn't around that long. I3 is available, Wayfire, LXQt, Openbox, Cinnamon, UKUI. I don't know anything about that. LXDE, Monte and Budgie are all available. So I'm going to go ahead and grab the Plasma ISO and install this. Inside of Virtual Machine. So I've created a Virtual Machine here. I'm going to go ahead and choose the first option in the boot menu here, cache os default. Interesting, I'm getting, what looked like some errors here as it's trying to boot, ZFS modules are not loaded. I'm assuming it's using ZFS as a default file system. It looks like it worked itself out there. It's like it's booting fine now. Looked like some system D start jobs were running there. It looked like it was trying to load some various kernel modules. So again, that's probably part of some of the optimized kernel stuff that they've added to cache os. And the live environment has booted up and we get a little welcome screen here. So this little hello program, it looks very reminiscent to the Manjaro hello program. I'm sure they probably just forked Manjaro's hello program and changed it to fit their needs. So let me go ahead and launch the installer. Calamaris install type. Do we want to do offline or online? Well, I'm connected to the internet. So online would make sense that way. It needs to update anything. I get the latest packages and we got a terminal doing something in the background there, but we do have the Calamaris installer here. If I move my head out of the way, what's interesting is we have these tabs at the bottom. So typically the Calamaris installer has these tabs on the side, on the left hand side as you progress through the installer, but they've changed it to where these are at the bottom. Just a minor little aesthetic change there. Let me go ahead and choose my language. American English is the default and that is correct for me. So I'm just going to click next. They have chosen the central time zone in the US for me. That is correct. Let me click next. English US is my keyboard. So let me just click next. And then what do I want to do as far as do I want to erase the disk and give cash EOS the entire 25 gig virtual drive of this virtual machine? That's what I'm going to do. But I could choose manual partitioning if I wanted to manually partition the drive myself, but I'm just going to give cash EOS the entire drive file system. It looks like it's going to default to XFS, which is fine. I typically go with the default file systems on these installations. So I'll leave that. But if you wanted to, you could use ButterFS Extend for F2FS or ZFS. I'll choose XFS. And then I'm just going to go ahead and click next. Now we have this interesting screen where we can actually, I guess, choose some desktop environments and window managers. So I downloaded the KDE Plasma ISO. So I'm just going to go ahead and choose KDE Plasma. But obviously, we have a variety of things we could choose here if we wanted to. I'm going to go ahead and click next. And then the additional packages. So we have BaseDevil and Common Packages. And it says recommended, don't change this unless you know what you're doing. So BaseDevil is common packages. That's probably standard like build essentials and things that are typically part of a base installation of every Linux distribution. We have cash EOS kernels. If I tick that on, I wonder what it would do. It says selection of different cash EOS kernels. I'm just going to go with their defaults, but that's interesting that that is there. NVIDIA drivers, I am in a virtual machine, so I don't need to play with this. But those of you that are on physical hardware, many of you guys will have NVIDIA cards. So make sure to tick that on if you are an NVIDIA user. And then the desktops, I'm just going to go with KDE for now. I'm going to click next. My username will be DT on this machine. Cash EOS x8664 is the host name that they default to. I'll just leave that. And then we need to create a password for the DT user. So let's create a strong and complicated password. And then repeat the strong and complicated password. And then log in automatically without asking for a password. No, leave that ticked off for privacy reasons. You should always enter a password to get into a computer and then use the same password for the administrator account. I will leave that ticked on. So my sudo password and DT's password will be the same password. So I'm going to click next. And I cannot click next because it says my password is too short. So unfortunately, I can't use my standard password. This is one of the problems with some of these distributions is they're very unfriendly, especially for virtual machine installs. I don't need to create some weird complicated password that I'm never going to remember for testing stuff out in a virtual machine. Just let me use the password I want to use. So I really hate when they do this. I wonder if it would let me do this password here. It will. And now, yeah, I can proceed. We get a summary, location and time zone. All look good. Keyboards good. Partition scheme looks good. I'm just going to click the install button and it says install now and away we go. One thing I briefly want to point out is during the installation, one of the slideshows here talks about the Cache OS kernels. And apparently there is a list of about six extra kernels to choose from that are available in the Cache OS repos. So can I get back to that screen? Let me click on the slideshow. There it is. You can see we have Cache OS board. So that's for the board scheduler Cache OS CFS. That is the default CFS scheduler Cache OS hardened Cache OS TT. That's the test type scheduler Cache OS BMQ for the BMQ scheduler and Cache OS PDS for the PDS scheduler kernel. So lots of kernel options for those that need it. For me, I'm just going to go with whatever kernel they default to. And the installation has completed. So in the Calamari's installer to complete installation, you need to tick on this box here that says restart now and then click done and it should automatically reboot the machine for you. If you're doing this on physical hardware, doing the reboot process, you need to unplug your USB stick that you're installing from. So let me go ahead and reboot. And we've come to our login manager. Since I installed Plasma, we're going to use the SDDM login manager, which is typically the default login manager for KDE Plasma. It looks like it's going to default to Plasma using Wayland. Since I'm in a virtual machine, Xorg is going to work a lot better. So I'm going to choose Plasma X11. I do notice SDDM is just using like a default fallback theme. So it's not really themed in any way, which is kind of shocking because their desktop environment looked like it was very heavily customized and themed. I'm surprised they didn't theme SDDM. Let me go ahead and log in with my super secure password if I can remember it. And we've logged into our KDE Plasma desktop environment. I will say on first impression, it is a really attractive desktop environment. I really appreciate the fact that they've tried to theme the panel in such a way it almost resembles Windows 11. We have your start button here, your menu essentially over here on the far left. But your taskbar is centered, kind of like the default centering of the taskbar on Windows 11. Then of course, we have the sys tray and the clock on the right hand side. By default, we get our welcome screen. When we first log in, we could actually toggle that to not launch on startup. And I probably will toggle that to never show again. But for right now, while it's open documentation, you have a read me. If you wanted to go ahead and read a little bit more about CacheUS release information about this version of CacheUS, a link to their wiki, a link to their forms, software. You can see how to get involved with the project, apps and tweaks. Let's click that. And you can see some of the tweaks include profile sync daemon enable. So we can enable that if we want Bluetooth enabled. It's on by default. We could toggle that off if we didn't want Bluetooth. AppArmor is disabled by default, but you could toggle it on if you wanted to. Of course, you would have to give it your sudo password. Anytime you make changes to the system, installing software, removing software, you always have to enter a sudo password. They also have a button for a system update. So just a quick way probably to do a Pacman SYU. Just a graphical way is to click that button and it opens a terminal. And assuming I can remember my super secure password. Yes, you're just going to run a Pacman SYU for you. There's nothing to do because we just installed. I have a button for reinstall all packages. That's interesting. They have a refresh key rings button as well. That's interesting. That's actually a nice touch to have on Arch Linux based distributions because sometimes you do need to refresh the Arch Linux key rings. And if you don't know the commands for it, because it's something you don't have to do that often. Typically, you got to go look for the command in a wiki, right? So I often have to go and look for a lot of these commands. Like the command to remove orphaned packages is something that's not something you'll enter very often. And it's not a obvious command. Like it's kind of a convoluted, lengthy command with a lot of flags. So having a graphical way to do some of this stuff, you got a button for ranking the mirrors. Yeah, this is nice. I like this. Going back to the main welcome page here, install apps. I'm assuming would give us, yeah, like some extra, probably especially a lot of proprietary software, maybe that's not easily available in the repos. But they do have some free and open source stuff here. Brave, un-Google Chromium, Chromium. Actually, these are all open source, except Opera is a proprietary browser. So you got some extra browsers, email clients as well, office suites, got LibreOffice, WPS-only office, and Microsoft 365. Yeah, everyone wants 365 on their Linux system now. Then text editors, what do we have? G-Edit, Micro, and Zed. Micro is already installed. That's nice. I love the Micro text editors. Probably my favorite terminal-based text editor that's not Vim. All right, Vim is definitely superior, but Micro is a really nice touch. It's kind of like Nano on steroids. I really like Micro. For a graphical text editor, G-Edit and Zed both are pretty good. I scrolled down a little bit. Let's get into video and movies. So you've got Kodi, Parole, SM Player, Totem, VLC, X Player for audio, some of the options, Audacious, Clementine, Dead Beef, which is my favorite. Lollipop and Rhythm Box are all here as well. I'm going to go ahead and close out the welcome screen. So let me go ahead and get into the menu system. And if I go into development, we have several things here. Most of it is Qt-related, Kodi Plasma being a Qt-based desktop environment. It makes sense why all of this stuff is here. But some other programs that, you know, a typical desktop computer user might have a use for Micro, the text editor, Kate is also here, a text editor, and that's one of Kodi's default applications. Mild is also here. That's for viewing diffs. Under the graphics category, we have Gwynvue, which is Kodi's image viewer. Under Internet, I want to take a look at the Cache browser. Let's see what this is all about. And it's taking a minute to load, but Firefox typically takes a little bit of time to load, and this is in a virtual machine. I only gave this virtual machine six gigs of RAM. I gave it two threads of my 24 thread CPU. It's interesting that one of the default tabs that open is darkreader.org. So this is like a darkreader plugin. I don't know too much about it, but that's interesting that they're pushing that canvas blocker is also here. I'm assuming these are plugins that are already enabled in Cache browser and having those default tabs open up. Just let you know, hey, those are there. Matter of fact, let me go into the menu system here. If I go to add-ons and themes, yeah, you can see they've already got canvas blocker and darkreader both installed and enabled. They also have Ublock Origin installed and enabled. That is the Cache browser. I do like the theme. I do like the colors. I like the cute theme. And I really like everything about their desktop. I like the wallpaper as well, very sexy. And let's get back into the menu under Internet. Other than the Cache browser, nothing else here really to mention. The Avahi server, KDE Connect. KDE Connect is a nice piece of software that allows you to sync your mobile device with your desktop as well. So that's nice. We have a multimedia category, not much here. Post audio volume control under settings. We have our firewall configuration, which if I click on it, trying to connect to firewall D, we have to enter a sudo password. I'm not going to play with any of this. But that is your firewall there. Under settings, we also have post audio volume control. Again, Qt 5 settings. So that is configuring Qt. I'm assuming, yeah, changing theme, fonts, icon themes, yada, yada, yada. Let me go ahead and close out of that. And really, not much else. The system stuff. Alacrity is the default terminal. That is very nice. I'm glad they shipped a nice terminal. Although KDE's Dolphin is not bad, I do think Alacrity is kind of like the standard these days. Like, it is such a good terminal. There's really nothing bad to say about the Alacrity terminal. We have Btop, which is a system monitor. That's interesting. Just kind of a fancy graphical system monitor. But a lot of times, I mean, Htop does the trick.  It's just, I guess, a sexier way to display that information. We have our Hello program, the kernel manager as well. If we want to play around with some of those extra kernels that are available in the repo. Dolphin is our file manager, of course, being a Plasma desktop. I do love the icon setting. I do love the Qt theme because it has this translucent bookmark sidebar here. That is really cool. Yeah, I kind of dig that. That's not bad. Also under system, we have the fish shell, which is probably just the default shell. Yeah, so this is console and fish shell launches. I'm assuming Alacrity was also defaulting to the fish shell, but I don't know. Let's see. Let's see if it tells me here in the NeoFish. Yeah, fish, 3.6.0. So it does default your user's shell to fish. I'm assuming the default system shell would probably be bash. I do echo shell. You can see right now, of course, where the DT user is default shell is slash bin slash fish. Now, if I wanted to see what the default system shell is, there is actually a file on every Linux system. Let me make this full screen. Let's see, can I zoom in? Let me find the default keybinding to zoom in. The file is slash etsy slash pass wd. Of course, let's go ahead and just view that with Vim. Assuming Vim is installed. And let's go ahead and look for the root user. The root user is the very first user. You can see his default shell slash bin slash bash. So that's the default system shell is bash. The default user shell is going to be fish. Let me go ahead and exit out of Alacrity. Getting back into the system category. Let's see if there's anything else to note. No, standard stuff. Octopi is here for a graphical of Software Center. Octopi is really nice. It's kind of like the old Debian Synaptic package manager that Debian and Debian-based distributions typically install. It's very, very similar. Octopi is, it's kind of like a version of Synaptic and self-designed for, you know, being a front end to Pac-Man instead of apt. So really cool program, Octopi. We have a utilities category and not much here. We have Arc, which is our archiving tool for zip, unzip and things like that. An emoji selector in case you need it, right? Kate and Kay Wright, so both text editors, part of the KDE suite of applications. Spectacle is our screenshot utility. And Vim is a text editor. Vim is installed out of the box, which is a nice touch. In the taskbar at the center, we do have some pinned applications. We have system settings. We have discover, the cachey browser and the dolphin file manager. And that's it, just four items pinned. I probably would go ahead and pin some other important things like obviously, I'm in a terminal all the time. I probably want a Lackardy pinned down here. I wonder how easy that would be if I search for a Lackardy. Could I just drag it down here? I really need a Lackardy. Yep, that does work. Let me escape out of the menu. Now, let me right click on the desktop and let me configure desktop and wallpaper. Let's see what kind of wallpapers they are using out of the box. See if they have their own custom wallpaper pack here. Got some abstract wallpapers. Most of these are really nice because they're minimal, not a lot of colors. Not terribly busy. Yeah, not bad. I kind of like the wallpapers. This mostly abstract art, although here's one that's more of an anime kind of thing. I don't know what's going on with this. It's called Pink Lady, that's interesting. Splash, yeah, that's the splash screen when it first booted up. Yeah, that's kind of cool too. Yeah, the wallpapers, they're okay. I wouldn't say this is my favorite group of wallpapers ever, but they're not bad. Let me get back to one of the more blue wallpapers. Actually, let me try the more purpleish color. Yeah, that's probably a nicer contrast there. That way everything isn't all the same kind of bluish neon greenish color. Now, let me open a terminal again. Let me just click on my alacrity terminal down here and zoom way in again, clear the screen here. Let's do a U name dash R. Let's see what kernel we're using. We're using kernel 6.1.12-cashyOS. So that's a generic kernel. That's not one of the custom kernels. They've got six different custom kernels with different schedulers enabled. Now let's see how many packages are installed out of the box. I didn't really install any extra packages. So just a base install with KDE Plasma, do a pacman dash, capital Q, lowercase q, and all the packages installed will spit out on their own line, right? The output is each package on its own line. So if I up arrow and pipe that into the WC program, the word count program, WC space dash L for a line count rather than a word count, 955 lines were in that output. That means there's 955 packages installed out of the box with cashyOS KDE Plasma. That's not a lot of programs. And you could kinda tell when I went through the menu system, there wasn't much there, especially in some places where I assumed there would be some stuff. There's nothing installed for multimedia, right? There's no music player, there's no video player installed, right? So you need to go install those, what I would consider very important packages under internet. I mean, we had the browser. We didn't really have email client, which most people don't need a desktop email client. There's no IRC client either, which might be important if you need support for your Linux distribution. There's really nothing else to speak of in that menu system. It's a really bare-bones system, which I kinda like. I like picking my own programs rather than having a full suite of applications serve to me. So there you have it. That's cashyOS. That's a very quick and cursory look. My very first time actually taking a look at cashyOS was right here on camera with you. And I quite like it. It's a standard Arch Linux based distribution, but it does come with a bunch of different desktop environments and window managers to choose from. Some of them have their own ISOs. You had three different ISOs. Katie Plasma, Genome, and XFCE. I thought it was themed rather well. I love some of the default applications. The Alacrity terminal, the FishShield, and then it's got all these optimized kernels, which may be good for some of you that need better speed and performance out of your kernel for various tasks, maybe like gaming. I find this Linux distribution rather appealing. I think it's a nice addition to a very crowded space because there's so many Linux distributions out there and there's so many Arch Linux based distributions out there. People often ask, do we really need another one? Well, I think we do need another one if they do it right and cashyOS seems to be doing it right. Now, before I go, I need to thank a few special people. I need to thank the producers of this episode. Gabe James Maxim met Mement Mitchell, Paul Royal West, Armor Dragon, Bash Potato Chuck, Commander Angry, George Lee, Methos, Nate, Erion, Paul, Peace Arch from Fort Or, Polytech Realities, Riverless Red Prophet, Roland Touls Devlin, Willie. I almost messed that up, but I probably should rerecord that. I'm not gonna do it. These guys, they're my high-steered patrons over on Patreon. Without these guys, this quick look at cashyOS would not have been possible. The show's also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies and gentlemen as well. All these names you're seeing on the screen right now. These are all my supporters over on Patreon because I don't have any corporate sponsors. I'm sponsored by you guys, the community. They like my work. If you wanna see more videos about Linux and free and open source software, subscribe to Distro Tube over on Patreon. Peace. Alacrity, Fish, and VM all installed out of the box. It's perfect.
